\infull not working
by Nigel King 18 Nov '20

18 Nov '20

Dear Group, Thanks for your excellent work. I have just got a new computer and installed Context as I normally do. Unfortunately there appears to be a bug, unless I have done something wrong. \infull appears not to be working. I have used the following test file which is from the wiki but split the line with \infull{Ch} in two to be certain. \definesynonyms[test][tests][\infull] \setupsynonyms[test][criterium=all] \test{ITU}{International Telecommunication Union} \test{MID}{Maritime Identification Digit} \test{Ch}{Switzerland} \starttext The \ITU\ is an organisation in \infull{Ch} \subject{Short is nice} \placelistoftests \stoptext The log message has this in it. tex error > tex error on line 12 in file /Users/nki001/OneDrive/MyDocuments/Context/NGAForIreland/test.tex: Undefined control sequence <line 4.12> organisation in \infull {Ch} 2 3 \setupsynonyms[test][criterium=all] 4 5 \test{ITU}{International Telecommunication Union} 6 \test{MID}{Maritime Identification Digit} 7 \test{Ch}{Switzerland} 8 9 \starttext 10 11 The \ITU\ is an 12 >> organisation in \infull{Ch} 13 Thoughts?

Index formatting difference LMTX and MkIV redux
by Rik Kabel 18 Nov '20

18 Nov '20

Hello list, About two months ago (2020-08-26) I described a difference between LMTX and MkIV in the setting of index registers entries, and more particularly, in the trimming of text to fit the available width therein. I have now created a smallish example to demonstrate the problem. I do notice that the problem is very sensitive to the width settings, and slight variations in width create different results with both engines. This ConTeXt input: \definepapersize [pinched crown quarto] [width=6.69in, height=9.61in] \setuppapersize [pinched crown quarto] \setuplayout [width=fit, backspace=1.4in, cutspace=1in, leftmargin=0.65in, rightmargin=0.65in] \setupregister [index] [n=2, balance=no, maxwidth=4cm] \starttext \startchapter[title={Index Test}] \index{Anonymous+Felix quem faciunt aliena pericula cautum} \index{{Diderot, Denis}+Et des boyaux du dernier prêtre, Serrons le cou du dernier roi} \index{{Dunne, Finley Peter}+Thrust ivrybody, but cut th’ ca-ards} \index{Eisenhower+Dwight D.+influence … by the military-industrial complex} \index{Eisenhower+Dwight D.+plundering, for our own ease and convenience, the precious resources of tomorrow} \placeindex \stopchapter \stoptext produces, with MkIV: and with LMTX: The example code shows one other instance as well, in the fourth indexed entry. Beside looking uglier, this results in a couple more pages for the same number of index entries. As I noted in my first description of the problem, this may not be unique to register processing, and perhaps it is an issue with limitatetext or doboundtext, or something else entirely. -- Rik

\framed command: (strange ?) difficulty to control the interlinespace between the first and the second line
by Garulfo 16 Nov '20

16 Nov '20

Hi, with a simple application of \framed, see MWE below, the space between the first line and the second line doesn't match with the others (gap is bigger). I get similar results: - with my computer and live.contextgarden.net - with context 2019.03.21 and 2020.11.08 1. Is it the expected behavior ? 2. What is the recommended way to benefit from the functionnalities of \framed but without this effect ? Many thanks again for your support. == MWE ================================================================= \setupbodyfont[sans, 16pt] \starttext \framed[align=flushleft,offset=0pt,frame=off,foregroundcolor=darkred] {\WORD\tfb Ce titre est trop long pour ce Ce titre est trop long pour ce Ce titre est trop long pour ce Ce titre est trop long pour ce} \blank[big] \startalignment[flushleft] {\WORD\tfb Ce titre est trop long pour ce Ce titre est trop long pour ce Ce titre est trop long pour ce Ce titre est trop long pour ce} \stopalignment \blank[big] \vbox{\raggedright\WORD\tfb Ce titre est trop llong pour ce Ce titre est trop llong pour ce Ce titre est trop llong pour ce Ce titre est trop llong pour ce} \blank[big] \ruledvtop{\raggedright\WORD\tfb Ce titre est trop llong pour ce Ce titre est trop llong pour ce Ce titre est trop llong pour ce Ce titre est trop llong pour ce} \blank[big] \framed[offset=0pt,frame=off,foregroundcolor=darkgreen] {\ruledvtop{\raggedright\WORD\tfb Ce titre est trop llong pour ce Ce titre est trop llong pour ce Ce titre est trop llong pour ce Ce titre est trop llong pour ce}} \stoptext

Tables in multiple columns?
by Bruce Horrocks 16 Nov '20

16 Nov '20

There's an example in the Wiki on how to put a table into multiple columns that no longer works in LMTX (version 2020.11.05 23:01). <https://wiki.contextgarden.net/TABLE#Tables_in_multiple_columns> \starttext \startcolumns[n=3] \bTABLE \dorecurse{21} {\bTR \bTD a\eTD \bTD b \eTD \eTR} \eTABLE \stopcolumns \stoptext I'm interested because I have a long thin table that I would to avoid having to manually split, but I would also like the heading to repeat at the top of each column and \starttabulation doesn't do the latter. I was hoping that \bTABLE did. -- Bruce Horrocks Hampshire, UK

How to reproduce a particular head/title style (reformat)
by Garulfo 15 Nov '20

15 Nov '20

Hi, I would like to learn "how to ConTeXt" complex titles styles like the one seen in the following document: - https://wiki.contextgarden.net/images/f/f1/Screenshot_20201103_220818.png - source document: https://www.hautconseilclimat.fr/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/hcc_rapport_mai… Please, what would be a preferred way ? - overlay ? - overlay and layer ? - \setuphead with before/after ? - \setupfloat[bleedfigure] and \placebleedfigure{}{\blackrule} I try to describe the specification here : 1. doublesided document 2. on both side, section title are underlined by a red rule, always "left aligned" in the text area, shifted to the right by the same distance than it is done for the text of the title, which ends at the right border of the page 3. on the left page : section title are overlined by a "second red rule", which starts "left aligned" in the text area, and goes across the whole page width 4. on the right page : the "second red rule" starts from the left border of the page, and terminates at the end of the text area A last detail (very nice, but can be forgotten because I suppose it will involve more complex stuff) : the "second red rule" from the left page... it continues a little bit on the right page. Thanks a lot for any help !
