Footnotes in columns
by Clyde Johnston 13 Aug '21

13 Aug '21

I can no longer print the footnotes when I using columns in LTMX. If I remove the \{start|stop}columns, it works fine. This works on my old MKIV 2018.07.02 14:39 version. \setupcolumns[n=2,rule=off,balance=no] \starttext \startcolumns \input ward\footnote{A small footnote here} \stopcolumns \stoptext Context Version: 2021.01.24 16:07 Clyde

A not so short introduction to ConTeXt Mark IV
by Joaquín Ataz López 28 Jul '21

28 Jul '21

Hello to all: Two months ago I informed to the list that I had written an introduction in Spanish to ConTeXt Mark IV. This interested several people, and in order to increase their potential audience, a member of this list (native English speaker) has proceeded to translate my text into English. It is precisely the members of this list who need no introduction at all, but it can sometimes be useful to help someone get started with the fascinating typesetting system that is ConTeXt. As for the English translation, I have made some small changes to the Spanish version, so anyone who understands Spanish and prefers to read it in its original language can download the new version: Both versions are available at the following links - Spanish: https://webs.um.es/jal/docs/introCTX_esp.pdf - Engilish: https://webs.um.es/jal/docs/introCTX_eng.pdf Soon I will send both texts, with their source files, to the documentation section of the CTAN repository. -- Joaquín Ataz López Derecho Civil Universidad de Murcia

Call for papers: CG journal 2020
by Henning Hraban Ramm 24 Jul '21

24 Jul '21

Hi, do you remember our ConTeXt meeting 2020 in Sibřina? (programme attached) There were some interesting talks and presentations that should get preserved in our current journal (to be distributed at the meeting in Bassenge this fall). Also, additional articles are always welcome – there were a lot of interesting new features and solutions since then. So far, I/we got only one(!) article, by Taco on MetaPost. Please don’t let me/us down and hand in your articles until end of July (but ASAP)! @Harald: Please send the latest version of your German report, too! I’ll translate it into ConTeXt. Thank you – I’m looking forward to another interesting issue of CG journal! Yours, Hraban

Proper ligatures in Malayalam
by Ajith R 14 Jul '21

14 Jul '21

Hi, I tried to make a document in Malayalam, an Indian language. However, the ligatures don't form as expected. A minimal example is \mainlanguage[ml] \definefontfamily [malayalam] [ss] [Rachana] [features=malayalam-one] \definefontfeature[default] [mode=node,kern=yes, liga=yes,tlig=yes, ccmp=yes,language=dflt, protrusion=quality, expansion=quality] \setupbodyfont [malayalam] \starttext അദ്ധ്യായം \stoptext What setting am I missing? The expected form is show in libre office with the same text and font, attached as an image The sequence of Malayalam characters used is U+0D05 U+0D26 U+0D4D U+0D27 U+0D4DU+0D2F U+0D3E U+0D2F U+0D02 Thanks, ajith

by Garulfo 13 Jul '21

13 Jul '21

Hi all, Joaquín I hope your are doing well. To keep you informed of my progress on the French version of "a not so short introduction to ConTeXt", I am done for part I, and II, and I am starting with Part III... I really appreciate Joaquín's Introduction, its structure, the sequence of steps. Thanks again for that. The latest french pdf can be found here : https://raw.githubusercontent.com/contextgarden/not-so-short-introduction-t… The GitHub directory is here : https://github.com/contextgarden/not-so-short-introduction-to-context/tree/… I added some content : - 6.7 : how to use fonts from the operating system - 7.4.3.D : tweaks with sectionconversionset - p.6 : kind of "visual Table of Content" - 9.6 : attachements I added some "features" : - use of ~10 environnement files for typesetting configuration - colors : to provide a somewhat attractive document inspired by Hans Hagen "Typographic Programming" https://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/style.pdf - commands to typeset Demos (showing code and results side by side) - some attachments to provide "ready to go .tex for beginners" Some thoughs: - to move "page break section" from Part I section 5.5 to something like Part III 11.x - Once the translation finished, to simplify some explanations.

LMTX: different output if dots are used in the file name
by Marco Patzer 09 Jul '21

09 Jul '21

Hi! LMTX and MkIV behave differently if dots are used in the file name. Example: printf '%s\n' '\starttext\null\stoptext' > foo.10.tex && context foo.10.tex MkIV: → foo.10.pdf LMTX: → foo.pdf Is this intentional? This is LuaMetaTeX, Version 2.06.05 current version: 2020.05.25 23:39 Marco

names of cached images
by Jano Kula 02 Jul '21

02 Jul '21

Hello list, using conversion=gray.pdf in lmtx the cached images' names have some string in their name. I thought it's a name of random sequence of luatex cache, but the string is the same on other machines and I don't know, where it comes from. mkiv used to have m_k_i_v_ string there. hacker.pdf = source image hacker_jpg_c60ccda70ef92e32d7a6334f31c23259.gray.pdf = cached linux hacker_jpg_c60ccda70ef92e32d7a6334f31c23259.gray.pdf = cached win MWE \starttext \externalfigure[hacker] [cache=./, conversion=gray.pdf] \stoptext Is it intended behavior? Thanks, Jano

Different authorconversion for citation alternatives and bibliographic entries
by Ágoston Volcz 02 Jul '21

02 Jul '21

Hi there, My university has special requirements for the theses I submit. Layout, fonts etc. are pretty straightforward to set up in ConTeXt. The one part I'm struggling with is citations / bibliography. I have to use the german citation style with footnotes. Essentially the first time I cite something, I have to put the full entry in a footnote. From the second time on, I only have to put a shorter entry in the footnotes. I have two problems: 1. I created the publ-imp-deu.lua and publ-imp-deu.mkvi files. If I put them into the ~/bin/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/ directory, I get the following two lines in the log: ``` publications > unknown library 'deu' publications > no data definition file 'publ-imp-deu.lua' for 'deu' ``` If I put them into the directory where my thesis is, they seem to get recognized, but I would very much like to reuse them and not have to copy them to each project directory. What am I doing wrong? 2. Entries in the bibliography and fist time citations must have 'normal' authorconversion, while consequent citations must have 'normalshort'. For consequent citations I defined the 'authortitle' alternative. In the thesis I have: ``` \usebtxdataset[default][literature.bib] \usebtxdefinitions[deu] \setupbtx[deu] ``` A snippet from the publ-imp-deu.mkvi: ``` \definebtx [deu:list] [deu] [authorconversion=normal] \definebtx [deu:cite] [deu] [authorconversion=normalshort, alternative=authortitle] \startsetups btx:deu:list:book {\sc \btxflush{author}}\btxcolon \btxflush{title} \btxdoif{subtitle}{\btxperiod\btxflush{subtitle}}\btxperiod \btxflush{address}\btxcolon \btxflush{publisher} \btxflush{year} \btxdoif{series}{ (\btxflush{series} \btxflush{volume})}\btxperiod \stopsetups ``` In the setup and definition, the fields I defined do get into the citation correctly, but the authorconversion remains 'normal'. If I comment out the lines which set up 'normal' authorconversion for the list, everything, including the bibliography and 'entry' type citations get 'normalshort'. Is that a bug or am I missing something? Thank you, Agoston

Heading for endnotes / grouped by chapter endnotes
by denis.maier＠unibe.ch 02 Jul '21

02 Jul '21

Hi, I have two questions regarding endnotes: 1. Is there a way to add a heading automatically to the endnotes placed with \placenotes[endnote]? 2. I reset the endnote number at each part. Is there a way to insert the title of the corresponding part heading to the endnotes? I have searched the wiki and the mailing list, and I've found two relevant questions, but no answers. https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg68490.html https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg34163.html Best, Denis =================================== \setuphead[part][placehead=yes] \setupnotation [endnote] [way=bypart] \starttext \part{First Part} asdf\endnote{asdf} jklö\endnote{jklö} \part{Second Part} asdf\endnote{asdf} jklö\endnote{jklö} \placenotes[endnote] \stoptext =============================
