Making text disappear depending on mode
by Axel Kielhorn 06 Feb '21

06 Feb '21

Hello, I’m currently writing an article for „Die TeXnische Komödie“ and discovers that my code is not working. When the mode „change“ is set, the text should appear with a red line on the side, that part is working. When the mode is not set, it should disappear, that’s the part that is not working. My idea was to put the text into a buffer and ignore it, that didn’t work. % !TEX TS-program = ConTeXt (LuaTeX 1.0.9) % !TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode %\enablemode[change] % Paragraph removed \definestartstop[ChangePR][ before={\doifmodeelse{change} {\startsidebar[rulecolor=red]} {}}, after={\doifmodeelse{change} {\stopsidebar} {}}, ] % Paragraph removed %\definestartstop[ChangePR][ % before={\doifmodeelse{change} % {\startsidebar[rulecolor=red]} % {\startbuffer[ignore]}}, % after={\doifmodeelse{change} % {\stopsidebar} % {\stopbuffer}}, % ] \starttext Before \startChangePR \input knuth \stopChangePR After \stoptext Greetings Axel

midi

Hi, So, in context, we can do text, and we can do graphics, and also fonts, now do we also need an interface to midi? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIKEiKTVwgE 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

Is old-multicolumns module still supported?
by Martin Bruchanov (BruXy) 04 Feb '21

04 Feb '21

Hi guys, I have updated to the mtx-context to the current version: 2021.02.02 15:49 and startcolumns is throwing errors about not defined (>> \startcolumns[n=2]) I have found m-old-multicolumns.mkiv in the ConTeXt directory. Not sure if it is deprecated, but if yes, my motivation to use it was because some default length registers have different values so there is a bigger space before and after column.

Forcing indentation on item groups
by Jairo A. del Rio 03 Feb '21

03 Feb '21

Hi list. I have the following example: \setupindenting[yes,medium] \starttext \startitemize[n,text][stopper=,lefttext=(,righttext=)] \startitem A\stopitem \startitem B\stopitem \startitem C\stopitem \stopitemize \stoptext The item group doesn't follow indentation. Adding \leavevmode only has effect on the first line, and only insert a spurious space from the second item on. How would I solve this? To be clear, I want indenting before numbers, i.e. <indent>(1), not (1)<indent>. Thanks beforehand. Jairo

small lmtx update
by Hans Hagen 02 Feb '21

02 Feb '21

Hi, In the perspective of fancyfying context I made an alternative rendering for missing glyphs (and in the process also made the visualization italic and bold aware which is of course feature creepifying). \replacemissingcharacters \startbuffer \startlines[before=,after=] \strut {\tf test \char 12345\ test \char 12346\ test} \strut {\bf test \char 12345\ test \char 12346\ test} \strut {\it test \char 12345\ test \char 12346\ test} \strut {\bi test \char 12345\ test \char 12346\ test} \strut {test ὀ ρ φ α ν ῖ ο ς test} \stoplines \stopbuffer \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=2pt,strut=no] \getbuffer \switchtobodyfont[pagella] \getbuffer \switchtobodyfont[dejavu] \getbuffer \stopTEXpage \stoptext This is dedicated to Jano who wants to be able to search and these are proper glyphs (so one can search, assuming a sane viewer). It also fits the "new mechanisms should reduce code" bill, 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

lmtx-20210118 | Corruption with rotated floats
by Richard Mahoney 01 Feb '21

01 Feb '21

List members, I've found that recent versions of LMTX seem to have broken table and figure floats using rotation. Lmtx-20210118 with for example: \placetable[here,90] results in the trashing of all subsequent body text in the PDF. This can be corrected with something such as: \placetable[here] ... \framed[orientation=90] (although one looses the ability to rotate the title of the table). The last really stable version of LMTX, which I'm finding that I'm constantly returning to as my default, is lmtx-20200920. This error has been occurring for some time now, and unfortunately, while I would like to keep up the recent releases of LMTX, it is essential that I should be able to rotate tables and images. Does anyone know of a fix.

font fallback hook (alphabet suspects)
by Jano Kula 01 Feb '21

01 Feb '21

Hello to everybody! Warning: 50 % of Greek glyphs in MWE, so they might be randomized :) Is there any hook in the font fallback? There are some Greek, Hebrew, etc. words used in the text. While proofreading, the editor would like to check these words separately (glyphs from different alphabets, unusual symbols, ...), so I'd like to typeset the warning (margin note), where these words are located. To avoid usual markup \greek{ὀρφανῖος} it could be useful to typeset a margin note whenever the defined fallback is called. The unfamiliar symbols could be in the main font and no fallback would be called then (one can still define the fallback with the main font as in the MWE, bold used for the illustration), but you might have a better ideas how to point out these suspects. The margin note is ment for searching PDF where one cannot search for color (basic viewer), which could be the other approach (also visible in print). I think, the color could be achieved with finalizers. One should also think of hyphenation and l2r/r2l direction, so in the end the usual approach might be the best way. You might use other approaches, how to deal with suspects of this type. Below the MWE for font fallbacks with distribution fonts. Not critical, just looking for ideas. Thank you, Jano \definefontfallback[Fallback] [file:DejaVuSerif-Bold.ttf] [0x0370-0x03FF] [force=yes,rscale=1] \definefontfallback[Fallback] [file:DejaVuSerif-Bold.ttf] [0x01F40,0x01FD6] [force=yes,rscale=1] \starttypescriptcollection[DejaVu] \starttypescript[serif] [DejaVu] [name] \definefontsynonym[Serif] [file:DejaVuSerif.ttf] [fallbacks=Fallback] \stoptypescript \starttypescript[DejaVu] \definetypeface[DejaVu][rm][serif] [DejaVu][default] \stoptypescript \stoptypescriptcollection \setupbodyfont[DejaVu] \starttext from ὀρφανῖος, thus \stoptext
