Natural tables | 2 tables in a page seem to interfere with each other?
by Ramkumar KB 16 Jun '21

16 Jun '21

Hi, I have 2 "natural tables" in one page and it appears that I have to (manually) reset the columns in the second table, for those columns that I had set specific width. See the example below - Maybe I am missing a trick or two - or this indeed is the desired behavior? Thank you very much. \setupTABLE[r][each][height=0.5cm,frame=on] \setupTABLE[c][each][width=0.6cm] \setupTABLE[r][1][height=0cm,topframe=off] \setupTABLE[c][1][width=5cm] \setupTABLE[c][4,7][width=3cm] \bTABLE ... \eTABLE \setupTABLE[r][each][height=1.3cm,topframe=on] \setupTABLE[c][each][width=1.7cm] \setupTABLE[c][1,4,7][width=1.7cm] %This is to reset from the previous Table \setupTABLE[r][1][height=0cm,topframe=off] \setupTABLE[c][2][width=0.3cm,frame=off] \bTABLE ... \eTABLE - Ramkumar

Hans, current latest from 2021.06.14 17:16 includes both s-inf-01-pdf-keep.pdf and s-inf-03-pdf-keep.pdf. I wonder whether these files are part of the distribution. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Project structure: Specifying environment in component
by mastermind_ x 16 Jun '21

16 Jun '21

Hello everyone, I am creating a project of notes across different areas of mathematics I am studying and the structure looks like this: env_notes.tex project_notes.tex geogroups/groups-prd_geometry-groups.tex geogroups/groups-c_chapter1.tex I am following this wiki: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Project_structure My question is: Why do I need to specify \environment env_notes before It works at the component level? The wiki didn’t say that. Plus it is already specified at the product level. Thanks. ~Jethro

Hi, When checking soem code I saw this (again): \definecolor[MyColor][t=.5,a=1,r=.5] \hpack\bgroup \framed[framecolor=MyColor,frame=on] {!!!!!!!!} \framed[framecolor=MyColor,frame=closed]{!!!!!!!!} \framed[framecolor=MyColor,frame=small] {!!!!!!!!} \egroup Just in case someone needs these subtle differerences (and then is doomed to wikify it).

\startplacetable[location=none] doesn't have a "Table X" label, but \startplacetable[location=force] does
by T. Kurt Bond 15 Jun '21

15 Jun '21

I've got three questions: 1. I've got a document with some xtables. If I use \startplacetable[location=none] the tables *don't* have a "Table X" label, but they float and end up in locations where I don't want them. If I use \startplacetable[location=force] the tables *do* have a "Table X" label (which I don't want), but the tables *do* show up where I want them, that is, they don't float. How do I get rid of the "Table X" label when I use \startplacetable[location=force]? 2. Also, when I constructed the example I used \startmode[locationforce] \startplacetable[location=force] \stopmode \startnotmode[locationforce] \startplacetable[location=none] \stopmode so I could build both outputs from the same input file. When the locationforce mode was *not* set the command finished with no errors, but when the locationforce mode *was* set the command finished with the error: tex error > tex error on line 229 in file ./table-location-label-wrong.ctx: The file ended when scanning an argument. however, when I used \doifmodeelse{locationforce}{\startplacetable[location=force]}{\startplacetable[location=none]} instead, it worked fine. 3. Even when I use the --noconsole option on my context invocation, there is a lot of information that is written to the console. It looks like the information is repeated for each run context makes over the file. Is there some way to get this information to show up in the log file, instead of on the console? ConTeXt's version information: ConTeXt ver: 2021.06.13 19:21 LMTX fmt: 2021.6.13 int: english/english. I've attached my example (table-location-label.ctx), the GNUmakefile I use to build it using --mode so that the same source produces both the version with location=force and location=none, and the two PDF output files ( table-location-label-none.pdf and table-location-label-force.pdf). I've also attached the version where I tried to use \startmode/\startnotmode (table-location-label-wrong.ctx). -- T. Kurt Bond, tkurtbond(a)gmail.com, https://tkurtbond.github.io

Bug in Luatex file handling?
by Hans van der Meer 15 Jun '21

15 Jun '21

This I cannot explain. Opening a file directly from its full name in a string succeeds. But doing the same from a parameter transferred from ConteXt to Lua succeeds if the file is in one directory deeper but fails if the file is two directories deeper. I suspect there is something not ok in LuaTeX. The lines with .... and >>>> directly come from print statements inserted in the Lua code. dr. Hans van der Meer Open file in directory 1 and 2 levels deep - direct call succeeds ..........io.open("events/hga-0372-345-62.xml","r")=>file (0x7fff97415f88) ..........io.open("events/transcripten/hga-0372-345-62.xml","r")=>file (0x7fff97416020) Idem but now from parameter filename transferred from ConTeXt into Lua: Open file one level deeper succeeds (printed filename comes from the call): >>>>>>>>>>io.open(filename,"r") filename=events/hga-0372-1764-63.xml=>file (0x7fff974160b8) Open file two levels deeper fails: >>>>>>>>>>io.open(filename,"r") filename=events/transcripten/hga-0372-1764-63.xml=>nil Caller: \def\FileExist#1{\cldcontext{hvdm.existfile([===[#1]===])}} Lua code: hvdm.existfile = function (filename) -- The test code was inserted here -- local file = io.open(filename, "r") if file then file:close() end return file ~= nil and "true" or "false" end

Trouble with using predefined typescript files
by mastermind_ x 15 Jun '21

15 Jun '21

Hello everyone, I am reading the ConTexT manual’s chapter on Typography. I want to achieve a Palatino-like small font which is bolder than the default provided by ConTeXt like in some math textbooks. So I loaded the typescript files ie type-xxx stated in the chapter in turns no matter the type-xxx I load. I always got this in the log: fonts > typescripts > unknown library 'xtx' fonts > typescripts > unknown library 'gyr' selectfont > the requested font 'palatino' has no files for the 'tf' alternative, Latin Modern is used instead. selectfont > the requested font 'palatino' has no files for the 'tf' alternative, Latin Modern is used instead. selectfont > the requested font 'palatino' has no files for the 'tf' alternative, Latin Modern is used instead. selectfont > the requested font 'palatino' has no files for the 'tf' alternative, Latin Modern is used instead. \usetypescriptfile[type-xtx] \usetypescriptfile[type-gyr] \usetypescript[palatino][ec] \definefontfamily [mainface] [rm] [palatino] \definefontfamily [mainface] [ss] [palatino] \definefontfamily [mainface] [mm] [palatino] \definefontfamily [mainface] [tt] [palatino] \setupbodyfont[mainface,11pt] \starttext Hello world! \stoptext What am I missing? Are these not available right from the box like the book said? These are ‘predefined typescripts’ as the book said after all. Thanks. I use MacOS if that helps current version of ConTeXt: 2021.03.05 19:11 ~Jethro

Hi, A few things (1) Thomas and I picked up the facing floats thread. I will probably remove the experimental code from mkiv and only work on the lmtx implementation. The same can be true for streams. (2) The \limits and \nolimist etc commands are actually modifiers and so are \Umathadapttoright and \Umathadapttoleft. Because we have a couple of 'handy' options in several math constructs in the engine I decided to add a few more modifiers to (ab)use those features too. The next examples are for 'math detail lovers': % \displaylimits % \limits % \nolimits % \ordlimits (maybe replace that one now or maybe no longer needed anyway) % \Umathadapttoleft % \Umathadapttoright % \Umathaxis % \Umathnoaxis % \Umathphantom % \Umathvoid % \Umathopenupheight <dimension> % \Umathopenupdepth <dimension> % \Umathlimits % \Umathnolimits \startTEXpage[offset=5mm] \startformula x = \integral^1_2 \mathinner{\vrule height 10mm depth 10mm width 5mm} = x = \integral^1_2 \mathinner{\vrule height 20mm depth 20mm width 5mm} = x = \integral^1_2 \mathinner{\vrule height 30mm depth 30mm width 5mm} = x = \integral^1_2 \mathinner{x} = x = \integral^1_2 x \stopformula \stopTEXpage \startTEXpage[offset=5mm] $ x = \integral^1_2 \mathinner{\vrule height 10mm depth 10mm width 5mm} = x = \integral^1_2 \mathinner{\vrule height 20mm depth 20mm width 5mm} = x = \integral^1_2 \mathinner{\vrule height 30mm depth 30mm width 5mm} = x = \integral^1_2 x = $ \stopTEXpage \def\rab {\Umathchar"1"00"007C } \def\lrab{\Umathchar"4"00"007C } \def\rrab{\Umathchar"5"00"007C } % \Umathmodifier : plus\minus \definecolor[mtestcolor][a=1,t=.5,s=.5] \startTEXpage[offset=5mm] $ \color[green]{\rab\Umathadapttoright^{\black 1}_{\black 2}^^3__4} \color[blue] {\mathinner{\vrule height 30mm depth 30mm width 5mm}} \color[red] {\rab\Umathadapttoleft ^5_6^^{\black 7}__{\black 8}} $ \quad $ \rab\Umathadapttoright^1_2^^3__4 \mathinner{\vrule height 30mm depth 30mm width 5mm} \rab\Umathadapttoleft^5_6^^7__8 $ \quad $ \showboxes \rab\Umathadapttoright\Umathnoaxis^1_2^^3__4 \mathinner{\vrule height 30mm depth 30mm width 5mm} \rab\Umathadapttoleft\Umathnoaxis^5_6^^7__8 $ \quad $ \showboxes \rab\Umathadapttoright\Umathnoaxis\Umathphantom^1_2^^3__4 \mathinner{\vrule height 30mm depth 30mm width 5mm} \rab\Umathadapttoleft\Umathnoaxis\Umathphantom^5_6^^7__8 $ \quad $ \showboxes \rab\Umathadapttoright\Umathnoaxis\Umathvoid^1_2^^3__4 \mathinner{\vrule height 30mm depth 30mm width 5mm} \rab\Umathadapttoleft\Umathnoaxis\Umathvoid^5_6^^7__8 $ \quad $ \showboxes \rab\Umathadapttoright\Umathnoaxis\Umathvoid\Umathopenupheight5mm^1_2^^3__4 \mathinner{\vrule height 30mm depth 30mm width 5mm} \rab\Umathadapttoleft \Umathnoaxis\Umathvoid\Umathopenupdepth 5mm^5_6^^7__8 $ \stopTEXpage \startTEXpage[offset=5mm] $ \showmakeup[math] \rab\Umathadapttoright\Umathnoaxis\Umathopenupheight 5mm^1_2^^3__4 \mathinner{\mtestcolor\vrule height 10mm depth 10mm width 5mm} \rab\Umathadapttoleft \Umathnoaxis\Umathopenupdepth 5mm^5_6^^7__8 $ \quad $ \showmakeup[math] \openinnerspacing \textstyle 5mu \innerclosespacing\textstyle 5mu \lrab\Umathadapttoright\Umathnoaxis\Umathopenupheight 5mm^1_2^^3__4 \mathinner{\mtestcolor\vrule height 10mm depth 10mm width 5mm} \rrab\Umathadapttoleft \Umathnoaxis\Umathopenupdepth 5mm^5_6^^7__8 $ \quad $ \showmakeup[math] \openinnerspacing \textstyle 5mu \innerclosespacing\textstyle 5mu \lrab\Umathnolimits\Umathadapttoright\Umathnoaxis\Umathopenupheight 5mm^1_2^^3__4 \mathinner{\mtestcolor\vrule height 10mm depth 10mm width 5mm} \rrab\Umathlimits \Umathadapttoleft \Umathnoaxis\Umathopenupdepth 5mm^5_6^^7__8 $ \stopTEXpage \startTEXpage[offset=5mm] $ \showmakeup[math] \frozen\openinnerspacing \textstyle 10mu \frozen\innerclosespacing\textstyle 10mu \lrab\Umathnolimits\Umathadapttoright\Umathnoaxis^1_2^^3__4 \mathinner{\mtestcolor\vrule height 10mm depth 10mm width 5mm} \rrab\Umathlimits \Umathadapttoleft \Umathnoaxis^5_6^^7__8 = \frozen\openinnerspacing \textstyle 2mu \frozen\innerclosespacing\textstyle 2mu \lrab\Umathnolimits\Umathadapttoright\Umathnoaxis^1_2^^3__4 \mathinner{\mtestcolor\vrule height 10mm depth 10mm width 5mm} \rrab\Umathlimits \Umathadapttoleft \Umathnoaxis^5_6^^7__8 $ \stopTEXpage \stoptext I'm still wondering about some interfacing but that depends on it being used (at all) but at least we can finetune a bit more abstract if we want to.

I'm wondering if there has been a regression in the rendering of CJK recently?
