issue with links
by Pablo Rodriguez 24 Nov '20

24 Nov '20

Dear list, this MWE shows that links may be misbehaving again: \setupindenting[yes, always, big] \setupinteraction[state=start] \enabledirectives[references.border] \unexpanded\def\MyURL#1% {\bgroup\goto{{\tt\hyphenatedurl{#1}}}[url(#1)]\egroup} \starttext \dorecurse{10}{word } \MyURL{https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=183423} \stoptext Could anyone confirm this? I experienced it first with the LMTX release from yesterday. MkIV (from 2020.01.30 14:13) doesn’t seem to be affected by this issue. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Subfigures, referencing and resetting counter
by Marco Patzer 23 Nov '20

23 Nov '20

Hi! I struggle with referencing subfigures. Combinations can't be referenced to my knowledge, that's why I went with another float for the inner subfigure. Example: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \useMPlibrary[dum] \definefloat [subfigure] [subfigures] [figure] \setupcaptions [subfigure] [numberconversion=characters, numberstopper=)] \setuplabeltext [subfigure=] \definecounter [subfigure] [way=bytext] \starttext \startplacefigure [title=First, reference=first] \startfloatcombination [nx=2, ny=1] \startplacesubfigure \externalfigure \stopplacesubfigure \startplacesubfigure [reference=fig:firstsub] \externalfigure \stopplacesubfigure \stopfloatcombination \stopplacefigure \startplacefigure [title=Second, reference=second] \startfloatcombination [nx=2, ny=1] \startplacesubfigure \externalfigure \stopplacesubfigure \startplacesubfigure [title=beta, reference=fig:secondsub] \externalfigure \stopplacesubfigure \stopfloatcombination \stopplacefigure See \in{figure}[first], \in{figure}[fig:firstsub] and \in{figure}[fig:secondsub]. \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% How to reset the counter for the subfigure to start anew for each new figure? The second issue is the referencing of subfigures. The MWE shows “figure b)” and “figure d)” rather than “figure 1b)” and “figure 2b)”. How to include the outer float counter in the reference? Marco

Adding Custom PDF Property
by Ramkumar KB 23 Nov '20

23 Nov '20

Hello List, I am looking for a way to add custom PDF properties to the document. >From the docs, I can see how to add standard properties (a.k.a headers) like Title, Author, Subtitle and Keywords - https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Interaction#PDF_Headers But I would like to add my own custom Name-Value properties (similar to what ConTeXt, by default, adds like `ConTeXt.Url=www.pragma-ade.com` when I open the document in Adobe Reader). Thank you for the help, best regards,

Re: [NTG-context] Current LMTX unable to compile file metafun-positioning.tex - error on line 240
by Giulio Bertellini 23 Nov '20

23 Nov '20

Dear All Unable to compile metafun manual with current release of LMTX for linux X86_64 and RPI 4 (both Raspberry PI OS 32 bit and Manjaro Linux ARM 64). engine: luametatex version: 2.0802, functionality level: 20201118 tex error > tex error on line 240 in file metafun-positioning.tex: Missing number, treated as zero. This problem never occurred in earlier compilations with LMTX. Commenting out file metafun-positioning.tex metafun manual compiles successfully. Same problem is exhibited in different version of ubuntu and arch linux X86_64 , Thank you all for your feedback. Giulio B. 234 \startsection[title={A more detailed view}] 235 236 As we know, a decent portion of \TEX's attention is focused on breaking 237 paragraphs into lines and determining the optimal point to split off the page. 238 Trying to locate the optimal points to break lines is a dynamic process. The 239 space between words is flexible and we don't know in advance when a \hpos {A-1} 240 >> {word} or piece of a word |<|maybe it's best to talk of typographic \hpos {A-2} 241 {globs} instead|>| will end up on the page. It might even cross the page 242 boundary. 243 A number should have been here; I inserted '0'. (If you can't figure out why I needed to see a number, look up 'weird error' in the index to The TeXbook.) mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 256 > >

markings in lmtx and luatex
by Thomas A. Schmitz 23 Nov '20

23 Nov '20

Hi all, something has changed in the way markings are handled. Consider the following example: \definemarking[Section] \setupheadertexts[{\getmarking[Section][top]–\getmarking[Section][bottom]}] \starttext A\marking[Section]{A} B\marking[Section]{B} C\marking[Section]{C} \page D\marking[Section]{D} E\marking[Section]{E} F\marking[Section]{F} \page G\marking[Section]{G} H\marking[Section]{H} I\marking[Section]{I} \stoptext Compiled with luatex, the result is not quite as expected, but at least it goes into the right direction. Compiled with lmtx, "top" and "bottom" are always identical. Something appears to be amiss here. Best wishes Thomas

Typesetting without interpunctation and interword space
by juh 22 Nov '20

22 Nov '20

Hi all, I want to typeset poems in a special way. I want to achieve something like Capitalis quadrata which was used by the Romans in stone. See here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalis_quadrata#/media/Datei:Capitalis_Qua… One stream of letters without spaces and interpunctation. The input files I have to use are written as usually: This is a line, that is a line, and a third line as well I want to typeset the whole poem in the Capitalis quadrata way: THISISALINETHATIS ALINEANDATHIRDLIN EASWELL The whole poem forms one block of upper case letters. No interword spacing. I guess that I can make my hands dirty with lua and write a filter that skips all interpunctation and spaces, converts the whole text to lower- or uppercase and after this use a special font with nice upper case letters. But I need a special hyphenation that hyphenates just were the line ends. Any hints how to achieve this? juh -- Autoren-Homepage: ......... http://literatur.hasecke.com Satiren & Essays: ......... http://www.sudelbuch.de Privater Blog: ............ http://www.hasecke.eu Netzliteratur-Projekt: .... http://www.generationenprojekt.de

LMTX update 2020.11.17 ----> 11.19 | Paragraph indenting
by Richard Mahoney 21 Nov '20

21 Nov '20

Hello, I noticed yesterday that paragraph indenting appears to have changed between LMTX 2020.11.17 & 11.19. Usually the first paragraph after a section heading does not indent, as it does with all subsequent paragraphs. With 11.19 the first paragraph does have an indent. I've had to revert to 11.17.
