Converting a CSV file to a Lua table and Lua file
by Otared Kavian 04 Jul '20

04 Jul '20

Hi all, I have a bash script which converts a CSV file into a Lua table, which is then used in ConTeXt. It works fine, but I wonder whether there is a code within LuaMetaTeX for doing this directly there (writing a new file which contains the Lua table). This would be more efficient and neater. Thus a CSV file « example.csv » containing the lines: X,Y,Z 0.05597,0.6612,0.8618 0.156804,0.8784,0.961 0.496804,0.8784,0.9324 0.176804,0.648,0.9643 would be converted and wriiten into a lua file « example.lua » containing the lines: return{ -- {X,Y,Z}, {0.05597,0.6612,0.8618} {0.156804,0.8784,0.961} {0.496804,0.8784,0.9324} {0.176804,0.648,0.9643} } Thanks in advance for any help: Otared K.

overfull message
by Hans van der Meer 03 Jul '20

03 Jul '20

I would very much like to get rid of the overfull hbox messages in the log. They clutter the log and I have not much use for them Setting \hbadness to a large enough value should suppress them below the threshold. But this does not happen. At least not in the minimal example enclosed herby. Is there a remedy making these messages disappear from the log? dr. Hans van der Meer

Store images and text in the right margin
by Fabrice Couvreur 03 Jul '20

03 Jul '20

Hello everyone and in particular to Wolfgang who has already provided me with the solution below. I will have to write a Mathematics book for my students and the remarks and graphics should be in the right margin. I got the code written by Wolfgang and tried to include the graphics in it. The result is not as expected because the graphic overflows on the text. The course will be written in A4 format with an 11 pts font. Thanks for your help.

Typesetting poetry with particular indenting
by Tommaso Gordini 02 Jul '20

02 Jul '20

Hi everyone. I am typesetting a poetry text in triplets and I would like the second and third lines of each triplet to be indented (i.e., in the next example, verse no. 2, 3, 5, and 6). Is it possible to get what I ask for with ConTeXt? The most I managed to do is this: \starttext \setupindenting[yes,1em] \setuplines[indenting=even] \startlines Per correr miglior acque alza le vele omai la navicella del mio ingegno, che lascia dietro a sé mar sì crudele; e canterò di quel secondo regno dove l'umano spirito si purga e di salire al ciel diventa degno. \stoplines \stoptext but that's not what I want. Thank you very much in advance? Tommy

something between packed and "small"??
by Mike Cooper 01 Jul '20

01 Jul '20

Me again... I've got an itemize that needs to fit on one page. I've been using inbetween={\blank[small]} for all the other analogous lists but this one is longer and with that spacing, it goes about one inch onto the next page. But if I use packed, the list is way too crammed together and there's about 2.5 inches of extra space on the page! How do I go smaller than small? Is there a "lightly packed"? Or other degrees? I've tried \blank[1mm] and other dimensions but nothing will go smaller than small... :-( THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!

Wiki ConText Installation updated
by Taco Hoekwater 01 Jul '20

01 Jul '20

Hi all, Today I updated the ConText behind wiki.contextgarden.net, live.contextgarden.net and source.contextgarden.net to the current latest: 2020.06.30 17:30. * The wiki’s <context> tag now defaults to “lmtx” mode, and you can switch back to “mkiv“ using the “mode” attribute. The “mkii” mode is no longer working. * The wiki’s <syntax> now supports the latest ConText as well, and I added support for all the “system-level” commands. Also the colors have changed a little and generated commands now have a link back to generating command. * the live website always run lmtx. * the source website’s software has been improved a little as well; I have updated the documentation page accordingly. Happy TeXing, Taco

Avoid indentation after \typebuffer
by Mikael Sundqvist 01 Jul '20

01 Jul '20

Hi, I want to avoid indentation after \typebuffer (or set indentnext to auto perhaps). I am probably missing something simple, but I thought that the example file below should have worked: \setupindenting[yes,medium] \setuptyping[buffer][ indentnext=no, ] \starttext \startbuffer \startformula \int_a^b f'(x)\,dx \stopformula \stopbuffer \typebuffer I do not want this line to be indented. \stoptext Compiled with an updated lmxt, and resulting pdf file is attached. /Mikael

\hideframe to cancel \showframe
by Mikael Sundqvist 01 Jul '20

01 Jul '20

Hi, say that I, for educational purposes, want to use \showframe for a couple of pages, and then want to hide the frames. What is the correct way of doing this? I have for now added a \begingroup and \endgroup, but then another document parameter that is set inside is cancelled after the \endgroup. I tried to look in the source, but could not find anything that worked (what I tried with was to use \setupbackgrounds[state=stop], but that was merely a guess, and it did not work). /Mikael
