Quote mark missing from first paragraph in quotation when location=text
by Michael Murphy 06 Dec '20

06 Dec '20

Hi, I have some long dialogue that I'm trying to typeset and I want to use the convention of repeating the open quotation mark on each paragraph of continued dialogue. I know I can set this up by doing something like \setupdelimitedtext[quotation][repeat=yes, middle=\upperleftdoublesixquote] This works well, except in cases where the dialog starts in the middle of a paragraph. By default \startquotation starts a new paragraph. I think the way to suppress that is to set location=text, but when I try that I get the odd effect that the first paragraph doesn't get quotes but the following ones do. Minimal example below. \setupdelimitedtext[quotation][repeat=yes, middle=\upperleftdoublesixquote, location=text] \starttext Some text that's not part of the quotation. \startquotation \input knuth \stopquotation \stoptext I’m on LMTX 2.08.04, Context version 2020.12.04 20:22 Any ideas? Michael

Bug in generating the highlight colour in the rules-mkiv document
by Ivan Čukić 06 Dec '20

06 Dec '20

Hi all, When compiling the rules-mkiv.tex (context/sources/general/manuals/rules) file, the highlight lines that use mp graphics are rendered in black instead of the colour defined by the file. This is visible on the three test sentences on the top of the third page "test test me and test or grep". The versions I've tested where this is broken are: context from the current TexLive 2020 distribution mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 1.03 mtx-context | mtx-context | main context file: texmf-dist/tex/context/base/mkiv/ context.mkiv mtx-context | current version: 2020.03.10 14:44 mtx-context | main context file: texmf-dist/tex/context/base/mkiv/ context.mkxl mtx-context | current version: 2020.03.10 14:44 context installed via first-setup.sh mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 1.03 mtx-context | mtx-context | main context file: tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/ context.mkiv mtx-context | current version: 2020.01.30 14:13 mtx-context | main context file: tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/ context.mkxl mtx-context | current version: 2020.01.30 14:13 context from TexLive 2019 distribution mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 1.02 mtx-context | mtx-context | main context file: texmf-dist/tex/context/base/mkiv/ context.mkiv mtx-context | current version: 2019.03.21 21:39 The latest version I found to be working: context installed with TexLive 2018 mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 1.02 mtx-context | mtx-context | main context file: texmf-dist/tex/context/base/mkiv/ context.mkiv mtx-context | current version: 2018.04.04 00:51 Cheers, Ivan -- dr Ivan Čukić MATF, ivan(a)math.rs, https://cukic.co, http://poincare.math.rs/~ivan gpg key fingerprint: 8FE4 D32F 7061 EA9C 8232 07AE 01C6 CE2B FF04 1C12

Can you make a \setupTABLE only apply to one table?
by T. Kurt Bond 06 Dec '20

06 Dec '20

If I understand correctly, \setupTABLE applies to each table after the \setupTABLE, correct? If so, can you make it only apply to one table? -- T. Kurt Bond, tkurtbond(a)gmail.com, https://tkurtbond.github.io

Can I caption a table without using something that makes it float?
by T. Kurt Bond 05 Dec '20

05 Dec '20

If I use \placetable or startplacetable with location=force it shows up but there is lots of space before and after it, I assume it is because it is a float. Is there a way I can caption the table without using something that makes it float, or remove the space otherwise? -- T. Kurt Bond, tkurtbond(a)gmail.com, https://tkurtbond.github.io

sacling isue in lmt_followtext
by Pablo Rodriguez 05 Dec '20

05 Dec '20

Hi Hans, I have this sample: \starttext \startMPcode{doublefun} draw lmt_followtext [ text = " ·\input{zapf} ", path = ((12,0)--(32,15)--(50,0)--(45,26)--(64,42) --(40,42)--(32,65)--(24,42)--(0,42)--(0,42) ..(20,26)--(12,0)), autoscaleup = "max", reverse=true, ] xsized TextWidth ; \stopMPcode \stoptext Text doesn’t scale properly (I would say starting with latest from 2020.12.03 19:02). It gets worse with \dorecurse{2}. With current latest (2020.12.04 20:22), each glyph seems to have a different scaling. I even wonder whether all glpyhs are embedded (using \setupbodyfont[dejavu] and \input{aristotle-grc}). But this may be my impression, since random scaling in each glyph might be distorting the glyphs With latest from 2020.12.01 17:52, I get perfect scaling in lmt_followtext. Am I missing something or have I hit a bug? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Getting the filename which is being typeset
by Otared Kavian 05 Dec '20

05 Dec '20

Hi everyone, I have to typeset a few files which get each an input file named in a certain way. For instance, a file named « myfile.tex » in which another file named « myfile-buffer.tex » is used as an \input file, as in % content of myfile.tex %%%%% \starttext This is a test. \input myfile-buffer.tex \stoptext %%%%% When typesetting « myfile.tex » I wonder whether it is possible to get the name of the file without its suffix, that is to get « myfile », with a command such as \getNameOfCurrentFile and then be able to replace the above snippet by: % desired content of myfile.tex %%%%% \starttext This is a test. \input \getNameOfCurrentFile-buffer.tex \stoptext %%%%% Best regards and thanks for any hint: Otared K.

repeated chapter in LMTX Reference Manual?
by Pablo Rodriguez 04 Dec '20

04 Dec '20

Hi Hans, many thanks for your new upload that fixes the issue with scaled external figures. I have just accidentally realized: \startbodymatter \component luametatex-preamble \component luametatex-differences [...] \stopbodymatter \startbackmatter [...] \component luametatex-differences \component luametatex-statistics \stopbackmatter I mean, “Differences with LuaTeX” is the second chapter and the second appendix (sort of) in the “LuaMetaTEX Reference Manual”. I wonder whether this is intended. Just in case it might help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
