How to make an in-text list without periods
by Joel 23 Jan '22

23 Jan '22

I am trying to create an in-text list, with parenthesis, but without the period. If I use this `\startitemize[text, n]`, I get an in-text list, but there are periods: There are many kinds of animals at the children's zoo: (1.) rabbits, (2.) pigs, (3.) sheep, and (4.) dogs. Strangely when I use `\startitemize[text, n, stopper=]`, which I hoped would make the period go away, I just get a regular bulleted list, it seems to ignore the 'text' command. How can I achieve this output (below)? There are many kinds of animals at the children's zoo: (1) rabbits, (2) pigs, (3) sheep, and (4) dogs. --Joel Minimum working example: \starttext There are many kinds of animals at the children's zoo: \startitemize[text, n, stopper=] \item rabbits, \item pigs, \item sheep, and \item dogs. \stopitemize \stoptext

Linespacing modified across document
by Alexandre Christe 23 Jan '22

23 Jan '22

Dear list, I've noticed that in my document the linespacing (verified with \the\baselineskip) is not consistent across the whole document. In the first section, it's fine (no maths). Later on, it gets increased by some amount, which tends to depend on what kind of mathematics are in between, so it's not constant. Has anyone else noticed this too? BR Alex

\installpagearrangement doublesided stickers
by Jigé 22 Jan '22

22 Jan '22

Greetings everyone. Well, it's not exactly about double-sided stickers but sort of. Imagine printing a double-sided sheet and using a so-called plastifying device to make tokens. I began with the File Card and Labels examples from the wiki, then tried to change the \installpagearrangement example from the 'imposition' wiki page. My question is: how to position everything in the middle of the sheet, so that double-siding actually works? As is, it's all in the top left corner. Changing the location argument for "location=middle" in \setuplayout doesn't work here. What should it be? By the way, I'm not sure about the 3rd, 4th and 6th arguments in the dosetuparrangement command. Thanks a lot! Here it is: \installpagearrangement 2*5*double*2*5 {\dosetuparrangement{5}{2}{10}{3}{6}% X,Y,Total,hcutmarks,vcutmarks \pusharrangedpageTWOFIVEDOUBLESIDED\poparrangedpagesAB\relax} \def\pusharrangedpageTWOFIVEDOUBLESIDED#1% {\advancearrangedpageN \reportarrangedpage\arrangedpageN \ifcase\arrangedpageN \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}000\arrangedpageA % 1 rot,hskip,vskip \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}010\arrangedpageB % 2 \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}010\arrangedpageA % 3 \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}000\arrangedpageB % 4 \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}001\arrangedpageA % 5 \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}011\arrangedpageB % 6 \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}011\arrangedpageA % 7 \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}001\arrangedpageB % 8 \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}002\arrangedpageA % 9 \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}012\arrangedpageB % 10 \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}012\arrangedpageA % ... \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}002\arrangedpageB % \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}003\arrangedpageA % \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}013\arrangedpageB % \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}013\arrangedpageA % \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}003\arrangedpageB % \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}004\arrangedpageA % \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}014\arrangedpageB % \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}014\arrangedpageA % \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}004\arrangedpageB % \poparrangedpages \fi} \definepapersize[Etiquette][width=80.0mm,height=50.0mm] \setuppapersize [Etiquette][A4] \setuparranging [2*5*double*2*5] %\setuplayout [margin=0pt, width=fit] \setuplayout[ %location=middle,%nx=2,ny=5, %location=middle, location=left, marking=on, margin=0mm, topspace=0mm, backspace=0mm, width=fit, %header=0mm, %footer=0mm, %align=middle, ] \showframe %\setuppagenumbering[state=stop] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \starttext \dorecurse{20}{\vbox to \textheight{\vfill\midaligned{\tfd ABC}\vfill}\page} \stoptext

Engine mismatch in Windows 8.1 (32 bits)
by Jairo A. del Rio 22 Jan '22

22 Jan '22

Hi everyone! I've just installed ConTeXt on an old machine running Windows 8.1 (x86) and I've noticed the format is regenerated each time I process a file. It can be read on the log (third line): warning: engine mismatch (luv: This is LuaMetaTeX 2.09.36 <> bin: This is LuaMetaTeX 2.09.34), forcing remake grep -r '09.34' finds a coincidence in mtxrun.exe. Is anyone else facing this issue? Jairo

Font scaling via sa in LMTX
by Rik Kabel 21 Jan '22

21 Jan '22

Hello list, It seems that font scaling to a letter is not working consistently in LMTX. This example: \definefont[TitleA][Sans sa a] \definefont[TitleAB][Sansbold sa a] \starttext {\ssa This is ssa \TitleA and this is TitleA}\par {\ssbf This is ssbf \TitleAB and this is TitleAB}\par \contextbanner \stoptext Produces different relevant output with each engine. I suppose one could use numeric values instead of defined font size letters as a work-around, but that means lack of coordination with custom sizes in \definebodyfontenvironment. -- Rik

Fuzzy lines
by Henning Hraban Ramm 21 Jan '22

21 Jan '22

Hi MetaFans, is it possible to get lines with Metapost that look like they were drawn with a pencil or brush? Some vector graphics apps (in my case: Affinity Designer) can use such naturally looking brushes for vector graphics (and I don’t know how they do it), but I’d like to automate/parametrize some designs, and that would finally be a reason to learn Metapost...

Reset environment between MetaPost graphics?
by Vincent Hennebert 21 Jan '22

21 Jan '22

Hi, Say I’m writing a document containing many independent MetaPost figures. I don’t want to bother with enclosing each and every graphics in a ‘begingroup...endgroup’ with the appropriate ‘save’ statement. But I don’t want variables from previous graphics to leak into following ones either. Like this: % SOF \starttext Text about some topic. \startMPcode u=1cm; draw (-u, u)--origin--(u ,u); \stopMPcode Now on to another topic. \startMPcode u=2cm; % Triggers an error: Inconsistent equation (off by 28.34645) draw (-u, u)..origin..(u ,u); \stopMPcode \stoptext % EOF Is that achievable? Thanks, Vincent

placelist created by defineenumeration fails in numbered headings
by Youssef Cherem 20 Jan '22

20 Jan '22

That pretty much sums it up: if I change \title to \chapter, for example, the list is generated only if I set the option criterium=chapter, for example. Is criterium really necessary in this case? ``` \defineenumeration [Exercício] [alternative=top, before=\blank, after=\blank, between=\blank] \defineenumeration [Título] [alternative=left, headcolor=darkcyan, width=2cm, text={Título}, before=\blank, after=\blank, between=\blank] \setuplabeltext[Exercise=Exercício~,Título=Título~] \setuplist[Exercício][width=6em] \starttext \title{defineenumeration} \subject{Lista de exercícios} \placelist[Exercício][label=Exercise] \subject{Lista de títulos} \placelist[Título][label=Título] \Exercício[title=Título do exercício] Um exercício O mesmo exercício. \Exercício Outro exercício com {\tt start ... stop} \subExercício Um subexercício. \startExercício Um exercício. \stopExercício \startsubExercício Um subexercício. \stopsubExercício \Título Título 1 \Título Título 2 \subTítulo sub-Título 1 \subTítulo sub-Título 2 \startTítulo Agora vai. \stopTítulo \stoptext ```

Counter names
by Joaquín Ataz López 20 Jan '22

20 Jan '22

Good morning to all. I would like to ask where I can find information about the name of the different counters that are handled in ConTeXt, in order to manipulate them manually. I guess the number of internal ConTeXt counters will be tremendous. But I would like to know what the "most common" counters are called, for example the ones that control the different structural units (chapter, section...) or the elements of a structured list, etc. I have tried to apply \incrementcounter or \decrementcounter to some counters that also exist in TeX as, for example, chapter, section... but I don't get any result. Thanks in advance for your answers Joaquín
