macro that does not work (Metapost)

Hi, I have some problems with the following macro : tex error > mp error on line 23 in file /home/viserion/macro.tex: ! Missing argument to suite. <to be read again> { <*> suite{ 1,0}; suite(2,1); ; That macro has more parameters than you thought. I'll continue by pretending that each missing argument is either zero or null. ! Missing argument to suite. <to be read again> { <*> suite{ 1,0}; suite(2,1); ; That macro has more parameters than you thought. I'll continue by pretending that each missing argument is either zero or null. ! Extra tokens will be flushed. <to be read again> { <*> suite{ 1,0}; suite(2,1); ; I've just read as much of that statement as I could fathom, so a semicolon should have been next. It's very puzzling... but I'll try to get myself back together, by ignoring everything up to the next `;'. Please insert a semicolon now in front of anything that you don't want me to delete. (See Chapter 27 of The METAFONTbook for an example.)

Referencing formulas doesn't work?

09 Feb '20

MWE: \starttext The famous result (and again) is given by \placeformula[formulalabel] \startformula c^2 = a^2 + b^2. \stopformula And now we can refer to formula \ref[][formulalabel]. \stoptext There is a blank where the formula label should be at “now we can refer to formula ---“. Regards Jon

page break

Hi, Sorry if my minimal example is not, but I have to understand with your help what is wrong. For example, why a page break after the second item when there seems to be enough space to stay on this page ?

Side effects with \startformula \stopformula

Hi, I composed a large document and I often use \ startformula \ stopformula. I have the impression that this creates untimely page breaks or white spaces. Fabrice

issues with \attachment when specifying name
by Pablo Rodriguez 08 Feb '20

08 Feb '20

Hi Peter, here you have a minimal sample with file name changed inside the attachment command: \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext an attachment\attachment[file=secret-name.pdf, type={application/pdf}, %~ method=hidden, name=other-name] \stoptext If method is hidden (no annotation), /EmbeddedFiles doesn’t honor the "name" option. If method is normal (generating an annotation), /T in /FileAttachment doesn’t "honor the "name" option. Would it be possible that both cases contain the value from the name "option" instead of file? Many thanks for checking this, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Fonts from various .otf to work with \bold, \emph, \bf, \bfa ...
by context＠vivaldi.net 08 Feb '20

08 Feb '20

Hello, although font switching used to be discussed here and I studied wiki about font changing, I don't switch fonts in ConTeXt very often and my "maximum" font change was provided by \setupbodyfont[(e.g. termes)]. Now I am in the situation that I need to use fonts defined in: work-sans.bold.otf work-sans.bold-italic.otf work-sans.light.otf work-sans.light-italic.otf (all from https://www.1001fonts.com/work-sans-font.html) so that: - normal text and math (nothing special - just subscripts) would be typeset with work-sans.light.otf - \bold (\bf) would use work-sans.bold.otf, - \emph (\em and \it) would use work-sans.light-italic.otf, - \bi would use work-sans.bold-italic.otf - also commands \bfa, \bfc, ... would use work-sans.bold.otf scaled somehow (probably by multiples of 1.2). Some help setting it up and making it work would be appreciated... Best regards, Lukas

suggestions for \definefontfamily and \definefallbackfamily
by Pablo Rodriguez 07 Feb '20

07 Feb '20

Hi Wolfgang, would it be possible that \definefontfamily could load fonts directly (not defined in the font database), like \definefont? \definefont[Test][file:texgyrepagella-regular.otf at 10pt] \definefont[TestOne][file:texgyrepagella-regular-500.otf at 10pt] \definefontfamily [mainface] [rm] [Pagella] [tf={file:texgyrepagella-regular.otf}, bf={file:texgyrepagella-regular-500.otf}] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext normal\\ \bf bold not working\\ \Test this works \TestOne this works \stoptext The second improvement would be to allow "method=uppercase" with \definefallbackfamily to be able to fake smallcaps (as used with \definefontfallback in https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2018/092878.html) Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

[HOWTO] spanning xtable cells

07 Feb '20

Does anyone knows a hint to get the stacked boxes to the correct size? When usinig non-zero values for the options spaceinbetween and/or columndistance the cells of the xtable will not properly size when spanning over rows and/or columns. e.g. \starttext \startxtable[spaceinbetween=2mm, columndistance=2mm, corner=round] \startxtablebody \startxrow \startxcell[ny=3] a1 \stopxcell \startxcell[nx=2] a2/3 \stopxcell \startxcell[ny=3] a4 \stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell b2 \stopxcell \startxcell b3 \stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell c2 \stopxcell \startxcell c3 \stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell[nx=3] d1/2/3 \stopxcell \startxcell d4 \stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell e1 \stopxcell \startxcell e2 \stopxcell \startxcell e3 \stopxcell \startxcell e4 \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtablebody \stopxtable \stoptext

math font
by Thomas A. Schmitz 07 Feb '20

07 Feb '20

Hi all, in my environment file, I have defined a math font: \definefontfamily [thomas] [math] [XITS Math] and as far as I can see in the log file, this font is found: system > 9: filename=xits-math.lfg filetype=tex foundname=/Users/lmtx/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/fonts/mkiv/xits-math.lfg fullname=/Users/lmtx/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/fonts/mkiv/xits-math.lfg usedmethod=database system > 14: filename=XITSMath-Regular.otf filetype=otf format=otf foundname=/Users/lmtx/tex/texmf/fonts/opentype/public/xits/XITSMath-Regular.otf fullname=/Users/lmtx/tex/texmf/fonts/opentype/public/xits/XITSMath-Regular.otf usedmethod=database mkiv lua stats > loaded fonts: 16 files: texgyretermes-bold.otf, texgyretermes-italic.otf, texgyretermes-regular.otf, xitsmath-regular.otf, dejavusansmono.ttf, gentiumalt-i.ttf, gentiumalt-r.ttf, myriadpro-it.otf, myriadpro-regular.otf, kadmosu.otf, monotype - timesnrmtpro-bold.otf, monotype - timesnrmtpro-italic.otf, monotype - timesnrmtpro.otf, timesbold.ttf, timesitalic.ttf, times-roman.ttf nevertheless, on the terminal and in the log file, I get dozens of lines with this message fonts > math: unset for global bodyfont thomas at 11pt This is with the latest 2020.01.26 19:19. I have a slight suspicion that this behavior is new, but I’m not totally sure. It’s just a small nuisance, but something is wrong here, I would say? All best Thomas
