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 !

different outputfilename
by Pablo Rodriguez 15 Nov '20

15 Nov '20

Dear list, I have the following sample: \enablemode[presentation] \doifmodeelse{typesetting} {\disablemode[presentation]} {\enablemode[typesetting]} \startmode[typesetting] \environment[typeset-pages.tex] \stopmode \startmode[presentation] \environment[presentation.tex] \stopmode This help me to generate from the same XML files either text or presentations (they are different elements in the XML itself). I have to invoke ConTeXt as ($source.tex has the content described above): context --purgeall --environment=$source.tex $source.xml But this approach has two shortcommings. It always generates a single file and using the same file name (\jobname.pdf). Is there no way to get the file with the outputfilename set to \jobname-presentation? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

latest lmtx
by Thomas A. Schmitz 15 Nov '20

15 Nov '20

Hi all, I hadn't upgraded in a couple of weeks because I was in the middle of a project. Now that I'm up to 2020.11.08, I have a problem: I can't load my third party modules; they all throw an error. The error message is Use of \syst_modules_setup_yes doesn't match its definition So I guess it's the way I have used setupmodule in my modules. I tried to find and understand the new code by comparing file-mod.mkvi vs file-mod.mklx, and it should be around l. 117-131 of this file, but I don't quite see what needs to be changed. A line such as \setupmodule [scale=1,font=GreekDidot] for my t-ancientgreek.mkiv works fine with the --luatex switch; in lmtx, context chokes on it. What is the new incantation for modules? Thomas
