columnsets messed up
by Henning Hraban Ramm 02 Jul '21

02 Jul '21

Hi, I’m working at the current CG journal whose layout uses columnsets. They aren’t usable any more. Same in current LMTX and MkIV. - the first line can start one or more lines lower - then the same number of lines is printed over each other at the bottom - it gets worse with footnotes (looks like their space isn’t considered at all) - if the column set doesn’t start at the top of the page, the second column does Hraban \definecolumnset[cgjcolset][n=2] \starttext \chapter{This is a chapter about column sets} \startcolumnset[cgjcolset] \dorecurse{20}{ \samplefile{sapolsky}\par } \stopcolumnset \stoptext

Hi Hans, I noticed that with the recent LMTX version 2021.06.27 16:59 the hyphens do not show up correctly with lucidaot. Here is a minimal example and the resulting PDF \setupbodyfont[lucidaot,10pt] \startTEXpage c'est-à-dire sous-ensemble sous-préfet \stopTEXpage Best regards: Otared

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 =============================

using variable font
by Herbert Voss 01 Jul '21

Hello all, this worked years ago with another variable font. But it fails with FiraCode. I get always the same weight: \definefontfeature[w300][default][axis={weight:300}] \definefontfeature[w400][default][axis={weight:400}] \definefontfeature[w500][default][axis={weight:500}] \definefontfeature[w600][default][axis={weight:600}] \definefontfeature[w700][default][axis={weight:700}] \definefont [FiraCode@300] [file:FiraCode-VariableFont_wght.ttf*w300] \definefont [FiraCode@400] [file:FiraCode-VariableFont_wght.ttf*w400] \definefont [FiraCode@500] [file:FiraCode-VariableFont_wght.ttf*w500] \definefont [FiraCode@600] [file:FiraCode-VariableFont_wght.ttf*w600] \definefont [FiraCode@700] [file:FiraCode-VariableFont_wght.ttf*w700] \starttext \csname FiraCode@300\endcsname FiraCode, weight=300\par \csname FiraCode@400\endcsname FiraCode, weight=400\par \csname FiraCode@500\endcsname FiraCode, weight=500\par \csname FiraCode@600\endcsname FiraCode, weight=600\par \csname FiraCode@700\endcsname FiraCode, weight=700\par \stoptext the font is availabel at Google: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Fira+Code It also fails with another variable font. up-to-date lmtx on macOS. thanks Herbert

Re: [NTG-context] Different authorconversion for citation alternatives and bibliographic entries
by Gavin 01 Jul '21

Hi Alan, Hans, and Chicago style bibliography users, > 3) I believe that Gavin (on CC:) is a user of the Chicago author-year > model. I’d like to use the Notes and Bibliography style in my physics book, with endnotes after each chapter. I would gladly participate by testing and providing feedback. I am using a patched-together \footnote solution right now, and it is not great. The existing "biblatex-chicago” package might be helpful for development, especially in selecting database syntax and perhaps in designing algorithms. The author, David Fussner, has been maintaining and updating since the first public release in 2008. It the extensive documentation, he invites contact. It looks like a complicated project! I’d be happy to discuss this more at our next Norther Colorado ConTeXt User meeting. Would some time next week work? (Alan, who I met on this mailing list, lives a short bike ride from my house.)

hyphenate nothyphenated
by Steffen Wolfrum 01 Jul '21

01 Jul '21

When running this mwe with luatex, the command \- could be used to manually break the line, even though it is set up nothyphenated. When running luametatex the word does not break: \setuppapersize[A10] \showframe \setuphead[chapter][align={nothyphenated}] \starttext \chapter{abc\-def} \stoptext Is this intended? Steffen

Loading a file at the line ConTeXt throws as an errror automatically with vim

Dear list, Is there a way to do this when running context from the command line in linux? TIA Marcus Vinicius -- Todas as coisas fatigam o corpo, salvo a música, que não fatiga nem o corpo nem seus membros, por ser descanso da alma, primavera do coração, distração do aflito, entretenimento do solitário, e viático do viajante.
