Pre-registration for 14th ConTeXt Meeting, September 6–12, 2020
by Jano Kula 20 Jul '20

20 Jul '20

Dear ConTeXt users! The 14th ConTeXt Meeting <https://meeting.contextgarden.net/2020/> in the Czech Republic is in preparation as originally planned. As nobody is able to predict the situation in September, we have started pre-registration only and will discuss conditions at the end of July via the mailing list of pre-registered participants. We will take into account up-to-date travel restrictions and health risks and make the final decision on July 31, 2020, based also on the number of pre-registrations. Till then no payment is wanted. All pre-registered participants qualify for early bird discount to be paid during the first week of August. Pre-registration doesn't bind you to pay or attend the meeting. The ConTeXt Group board has discussed other options (on-line meeting, postponing the meeting), but these are unlikely to happen, in case the meeting is cancelled. *14th ConTeXt Meeting* *September 6–12, 2020, Sibřina, Czech Republic* For the second time we will held the meeting at the friendly farm U Škodů, at the eastern border of Prague. See the gallery from 2018 <http://kostverlorenvaart.nl/context2018/> by Frans Goddijn. Topics will cover usage and development of LuaMetaTeX, ConTeXt, and everything related. Each meeting is source of inspiration for everybody, from beginner to expert. Friendly company is always looking for meeting new participants, users of LuaTeX, LuaMetaTeX, ConTeXt, Metapost, etc. There is a special discount for those, who attend the meeting for the first time and for students. Also ConTeXt Group members are qualified for the discount, so consider joining the group. For more details and pre-registration visit the 14th ConTeXt Meeting <https://meeting.contextgarden.net/2020/> page. Hope to see you in September, Jano on behalf of the ConTeXt Group <https://group.contextgarden.net>

Hi, For those interested in tiny machines and tex, processing the luametate xmanual gives this: % 20200720 : 258 pages % % mingw : 10.6 (sometimes less) % rpi 32 : 32.3 % rpi 64 : 26.0 (overclocked) % amd 10 fitlet : 28.2 (the 10.6 is on an 8+ year old intel laptop cpu so i guess that on a modern machine or desktop we're talking half of that) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Code lua in a table
by Fabrice Couvreur 18 Jul '20

18 Jul '20

Hello, I want to display the values of Pascal's triangle in a table. Unfortunately my knowledge of Lua is not sufficient to run this code. Thank you. Fabrice \starttext \startluacode function Binom(n,k) if k > n then return 0 elseif (n == 0 or k == 0) then return 1 else return (n*Binom(n-1,k-1))/k end context(Binom(n,k)) end context.startxtable({"align={middle,lohi}, width=1.2cm,offset=0.8ex,bodyfont=9pt"}) context.startxrow({"background=color,backgroundcolor=green"}) for i = 0, 10 do for j = 0, i do context.startxcell() context(Binom(i,j)) context.stopxcell() end end context.stopxrow() \stopluacode \stoptext

embolden font in LMTX
by Pablo Rodriguez 17 Jul '20

17 Jul '20

Dear list, I have the following sample: \definefontfamily [mainface] [rm] [TeX Gyre Pagella] [it={style:regular, features:{default, slanted}}, bi={style:regular, features:{default, boldened, slanted}}, bf={style:regular, features:{default, boldened}}] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext \input{zapf}\\ {\it \input{zapf}}\\ {\bf \input{zapf}}\\ {\bi \input{zapf}}\\ \stoptext I’m afraid that LMTX (current latest 2020.07.13 23:53) cannot deal with the boldened feature. MkIV (from 2020.01.30 14:13) works just fine. Am I missing something or have I hit a bug? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

how to with \margindata
by Hans van der Meer 15 Jul '20

15 Jul '20

Using the following: \margindata{some macro expansions} I know that \margindata is typeset at a later moment than its place in the code suggests. The problem is that macro expansions inside the {}'s are expanded twice. This interferes badly with the things I want to happen. Tracing what happens, I conclude that the result of the first expansion is lost and is not carried into the actual placement of the marginnote. The question this is: how to solve this problem? dr.
