Floating objects next to text mess up paragraph spacing
by Daniel Barker 01 Apr '21

Hi all, I have noticed that placing a floating object next to text with location "left", "right", etc. seems to move the current paragraph slightly up, resulting in too little space between the current and previous paragraph. This can be seen quite clearly in the output of the following example: \setupbodyfont[dejavu, serif, 12pt] \starttext \samplefile{lorem} \startplacefigure[location={right, none}] \framed[width=3cm, height=2cm]{graphic} \stopplacefigure \samplefile{lorem} \samplefile{lorem} \stoptext I am using the current (2021.03.31 18:04) version of ConTeXt LMTX. On ConTeXt live, which seems to be running an older version, this does not occur, i.e. the spacing is even, as I would expect it to be. I assume this is a bug, or am I doing something wrong? Thank you, Daniel

README for pending new subscribers March 2021
by Taco Hoekwater 01 Apr '21

01 Apr '21

Hi all, Regretfully, we have had problems with a hacker messing with the html subscription page of this mailing list. In mitigation, we have disabled web - based subscription requests completely. From now on, subscription to this mailing list can only be requested by sending an email message to ntg-context-request(a)ntg.nl with “subscribe" as the Subject. Unfortunately, it was impossible for us to differentiate between "hacked" and “legit” subscription requests made during the month of March 2021 so to prevent our mail server from being blacklisted as email sender we have had to discard all pending subscription requests. This means that anyone that has tried to subscribe to ntg-context during the past month (that has not received a confirmation message from mailman welcoming them to the mailing list) will have to re-start the subscription process. Apologetically, Taco — Taco Hoekwater E: taco(a)bittext.nl genderfluid (all pronouns)

KeenWrite + ConTeXt: a sneak peek

01 Apr '21

Hi all! Here's a screenshot showing a PDF file created using ConTeXt, exported from my text editor, KeenWrite: https://ibb.co/SNg19Sn Notice the areas highlighted with rounded red rectangles: * Export PDF button (top-left) * Exported file name and ConTeXt processing time (lower-left) * Settings for the --path option (preferences dialog, top) * Settings for the --environment option (preferences dialog, bottom) * Document stats (lower-right) The app has a preview tab that is updated in real-time, which can be repositioned or closed and is shown to the left. Shown on the right is the PDF document generated using ConTeXt by clicking the export PDF button. App screenshots: https://github.com/DaveJarvis/keenwrite#screenshots Thoughts? Ideas for ConTeXt integration features? P.S. Thank you for all the hard work that has gone into ConTeXt: it's truly a splendid piece of software to use.
