parsing multi-valued parameters
by Werner Hennrich 13 Feb '21

13 Feb '21

Hello everyone, please can you give me pointers on how to easiest parse multi-valued \dummyparameter{...} like in \something[...,weather={sunshine, rain, hail},...] so that I can test for e.g. rain, sunshine, wind, hail, mist, fog, storm etc, each if it is present or not? ...so I can keep my number of parameters down and my parameter list as simple as possible. I have no idea what to search for in the docs or (better) in the test cases / samples. Would be great if you could just let me know where to look or what to sarch for Thank you very much! Werner

Loop?
by Angel M Alganza 13 Feb '21

13 Feb '21

Hello: I am trying to print a list of names always followed by the same info (generated by a new command). At the moment, I have all the names followed by the command like so: Person Number One \mycommand Person Number Two \mycommand Person Number Three \mycommand Person Number Four \mycommand Person Number Five \mycommand . . . I'd rather have the list of people stored somewhere (a list? an array?) and loop through it and then inserting \mynewcommand at compilation time. That way, when I need to replace the list of people with a new one, I'd just do that instead of building the above structure again and again. Is it possible to do that with just ConTeXt or would I need to resort to Lua. I guess it should be possible both ways, but I haven't figure out how to do it. Any pointer, please? Thank you so much in advance. Cheers, Ángel

[pagenumbers in pdf]
by Floris van Manen 13 Feb '21

13 Feb '21

When I generate a serie of TEXpages, those pages end up with the same page number in the pdf. 1, 1, 1 \starttext \def\blz{\begingroup \startTEXpage 1 2 3 \stopTEXpage \endgroup} \blz \blz \blz \stoptext If I insert a \strut at the start, I get pagenumbering 1, 2, 3, 1 \starttext \def\blz{\begingroup \startTEXpage 1 2 3 \stopTEXpage \endgroup} \strut \blz \blz \blz \stoptext As in most software, there is a probable reason for that :-) But how to get the pages numbered 1, 2, 3 without an empty page at the start? .F

new upload
by Hans Hagen 12 Feb '21

Hi, I uploaded a new version. I'v enow tagged all public macros (not that anyone will notice) as a step in the overload protection effort. If you want to get an idea about what we're talking of you can process s-system-macros.mkxl This file is mostly for Wolfgang and me when we update to lmtx, but it's used to identify 'todo's. We're talking tex as well as metapost here. In the process some orphan (mkii) stuff has been removed and a few small fixes applied (in code that probably no one ever encounters anyway). In lmtx I also updated the stixtwo fonts (new names again) and added libertinus (for Tomas Hala to test).

LMTX bug? \completelistofabbreviations
by Bert Verbeek 12 Feb '21

12 Feb '21

Hello all, I've used ConTeXt MkIV for years to make technical reports. For a new computer I looked for updates of the software and discovered LMTX. I ran it on my latest report and found an error on \completelistofabbreviations, both on win-64 and linux. Context --luatex worked fine. A minimal file based on the wiki examples produced the same error on \completelistoftests: \definesynonyms[test][tests][\infull] \setupsynonyms[test][criterium=all] \test{ITU}{International Telecommunication Union} \test{MID}{Maritime Identification Digit} \test{Ch}{Switzerland} \starttext The \ITU\ is an organisation in \infull{Ch} % \subject{Short is nice} % \placelistoftests \completelistoftests \stoptext Did something change, or did I find a bug?

issue printing with Acrobat?
by Pablo Rodriguez 12 Feb '21

12 Feb '21

Dear list, I have the following sample: \setuppapersize[A4, landscape] \setupinteractionscreen[option={landscape, paper}] \starttext \dorecurse{2} {\startmakeup[page][pagestate=start, align=middle] \dontleavehmode \scale[width=.8\textwidth]{middle} \stopmakeup} \stoptext Selecting paper in option from \setupinteractionscreen also sets (printing) orientation to auto. I couldn’t print the resulting PDF generated from the code above without having to set orientation to landscape (in Acrobat’s printing dialog). Otherwise, I was getting wrong orientation in printed pages. Printing was wrong in both printers I tried. Acrobat DC (reader) version is Acrobat DC (2021.001.20135). I was using both MkIV and latest LMTX. I think there might be a bug in latest Acrobat. Could anyone confirm whether the latest Acrobat DC is able to print the PDF document from the code above with the printing orientation set to automatic? -- http://www.ousia.tk
