\setupbackend in MkIV
by Rik Kabel 25 May '20

25 May '20

I cannot get a PDF/A document produced with the latest MkIV beta 2020.05.18 16:46 (LMTX works without issue). Using the example from the wiki (https://wiki.contextgarden.net/PDF/A) I get the error stating: <inserted text> ... \p_file {\backendparameter {xmpfile}}\ifempty \p_file \else \clf_setxmpf... \setup_backend ...end [#1]\the \everysetupbackend l.11 ...ISO coated v2 300\letterpercent\space (ECI)] mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 1 Removing either of the \setupbackend instructions still results in the same error. Same issue for PDF/X. Is it a bug, or is it me? -- Rik

About Latex compatibility module
by Jairo A. del Rio 25 May '20

25 May '20

Hi everyone! I was reading some old posts on TeX.SX about LaTeX support on ConTeXt and I found the following: https://web.archive.org/web/20110822085249/https://modules.contextgarden.ne… However, not only the module seems to be deprecated, but there's no more info about the module now (links are broken and the like). Btw the test file (latextest.tex) included fails to compile: > tex error on line 165 in file t-ltmsen.tex: ! Undefined control sequence >> \newskip\@rightskip \@rightskip \z@skip Is it possible to make it work? I think it would be nice if some minimal LaTeX macros were supported. Thank you in advance!

Anyone managed a tabulated table of contents
by Bruce Horrocks 25 May '20

25 May '20

I can't be the first to have wanted to try something like this. Is it possible to use tabulate (or any of the table types) to customise the layout of the table of contents? I'd like 4 columns - title, subject, author and page - where subject and author will (eventually) be additional parameters supplied to \startchapter. Bonus points if it works in interactive mode as well. Minimum non-working example below. This generates the 4 column values per chapter heading but they run together into a single paragraph as if the table formatting was not present. %%% Begin %%% \setuppapersize [A4] [A4] \setupinteraction [state=start] \setuplist [chapter] [ alternative=command, %interactive command=\myTOCrow, before=\myTOCbefore, after=\myTOCafter ] % #1 == Section number; #2 == text; #3 == page number \define[3]\myTOCrow{\NC #2 \NC dummy \NC John Doe \NC #3 \NC\NR } \define\myTOCbefore{ \starttabulate[|pw(8.75cm)|l|lw(4.2cm)|r|] \NC \underbars{Title} \NC \underbars{Subject} \NC \underbars{Author} \NC \underbars{Page} \NC\NR } \define\myTOCafter{% \stoptabulate } \starttext \title{Tabulated Table of Contents} \placelist[chapter] \startchapter[title=Tufte 1] \input tufte \stopchapter \startchapter[title=Tufte 2] \input tufte \stopchapter \stoptext %%% End %%% -- Bruce Horrocks Hampshire, UK

Is it possible to have a rotated label in Metafun?
by Otared Kavian 25 May '20

25 May '20

Hi all, In a graph which I am trying to draw with LuaMetafun, I have a variable the values of which I want to show on the graph rotated 90 degrees (or whatever other value). Is it possible to do that? An example is: numeric a, u ; u := 10mm ; a := 4.5 ; label.bot(a, (10,-0.1) scaled u) % I would like to have printed 4.5 rotated 90 degrees for instance. Thanks in advance for any help: Otared

Wiki - Proposal to update the Welcome page
by Garulfo 25 May '20

25 May '20

Hi all, thanks for your encouraging feedbacks. 1/ Concerning the Manuals Page - As proposed, "obsolete banners" are added to thumbnails of the oldest manuals. - About providing zips of manuals per topics: maybe we could just add a index.html in the distribution structure, to provide the user with a browsing system similar to the wiki's one. - If the admistrators wish, I can now replace the current page. 2/ After the Manuals, please find a proposal for the Welcome Page, which is probably trickier - https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Main_Page_TempProposal - https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Main_Page (the current) - 4 objectives : 1/ do something more visual, reduce the amount of text, 2/ provide a fairly comprehensive overview with less than 15 topics, 3/ but hold in one (big) screen, 4/ avoid redundancies on the Welcome Page, 5/ match both the Wiki's structure & the Manuals' structure. Again, depending on your feedbacks, I would be happy to improve it. It's built from scripts ==> not too hard now to reorder, to adapt. Best

\doublehyphendemerits in project environment
by Marc Trius 24 May '20

24 May '20

Hi, I'm having an issue where \doublehyphendemerits=20000 doesn't seem to have an effect when I put it in the environment file, only when it's in the component file. What's going on? I would prefer to not have to repeat this line in every component.. Thank you, Marc Trius

Change of Optima to Optima Nova: fallback for cyrillc stops working
by Gerben Wierda 24 May '20

24 May '20

I’ve decided to buy the Optima Nova font. But now that I use it, I run into the problem that suddenly my fallback for Cyrillic has stopped working. \definefallbackfamily [archimate] [ss] [Helvetica] [preset=range:cyrillic, tf=style:light, it=style:lightoblique, bf=style:regular, bi=style:oblique, force=yes, rscale=1.0] \definefontfamily [archimate] [ss] [OptimaLT-Medium] \setupbodyfont[archimate] \starttext The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. Ядро метамодели. \stoptext With \definefontfamily [archimate] [ss] [Optima] Cyrillic fallback works (as does the old Optima). What do I need to do to remedy that? Thanks, G
