How to create cell data that spans four rows in a table?
by Joel 09 Jan '22

09 Jan '22

I created a table that has some cells span multiple rows. This works good with cells that span an odd-number of rows, but when I try to span 4 rows, the text isn't quite vertically centered. How can I get the cell with the text "Archaeon Eon" to be a little lower, so it is centered within its box? --Joel Minimum working example: \starttext \starttable[|c|c|] \NC {\bf Eons} \NC {\bf Eras} \NC \AR \HL \NC Hadeon Eon \VL \NC \AR \HL \NC \VL Eoarchean Era \NC \AR \DC \DL[1] \DR \NC \smash{Archaeon Eon} \VL Paleoarchean Era \NC \AR \DC \DL[1] \DR \NC \VL Mesoarchean Era \NC \AR \DC \DL[1] \DR \NC \VL Neoarchean Era \NC \AR \HL\NC \VL Paleoproterozoic Era \NC \AR \DC \DL[1] \DR \NC Proterozoic Eon \VL Mesoproterozoic Era \NC \AR \DC \DL[1] \DR \NC \VL Neoproterozoic Era \NC \AR \HL \HL\NC \VL Paleozoic Era \NC \AR \DC \DL[1] \DR \NC Phanerozoic Eon \VL Mesozoic Era \NC \AR \DC \DL[1] \DR \NC \VL Cenozoic Era \NC \AR \HL \stoptable \stoptext

I don’t know since when the questionnaire item command \its doesn’t exist any more: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/its \starttext \startitemize[5,packed][items=7,width=5em,distance=1em] \ran{\ss\tfx 1 \hss 7} \its \CONTEXT\ or \LaTeX? \its Tofu or sausage? \its Freedom or security? \stopitemize \stoptext It’s also absent in the interface files, i.e. autosyntax doesn’t work in the wiki. Is there a better alternative? Hraban

descriptions with long titles
by Henning Hraban Ramm 08 Jan '22

Hi again, I tried to use a description for a list of organizations with partly long titles. * title and description should both use linebreaking (works) * title should have a fixed width (doesn’t work) * description should run beside a multi-line title, without a gap (doesn’t work) Is this possible, and how? ----- \mainlanguage[de] \setuppapersize[A5] \definedescription[Desc][ headstyle=bold, style=normal, align={flushleft,nothyphenated}, headalign={flushleft,nothyphenated}, alternative=hanging, width=.33\textwidth] \starttext \subject{Friedensnobelpreisträger} \Desc{\fr Quartet du dialogue national} (2015) für seinen entscheidenden Beitrag zum Aufbau einer pluralistischen Demokratie in Tunesien infolge der Jasminrevolution des Jahres 2011. \Desc{\es Juan Manuel Santos} (2016) für seine entschlossenen Anstrengungen, den mehr als 50 Jahre andauernden Bürgerkrieg in Kolumbien zu beenden. \Desc{Internationale Kampagne zur Abschaffung von Atomwaffen} (2017) für ihre Arbeit, Aufmerksamkeit auf die katastrophalen humanitären Konsequenzen von Atomwaffen zu lenken und für ihre bahnbrechenden Bemühungen, ein vertragliches Verbot solcher Waffen zu erreichen. \stoptext ----- Hraban

Fallback fails for Linux Libertine O to Junicode over private area, debugging?
by J. P. Ascher 08 Jan '22

08 Jan '22

Hi, all, I'm a long time lurker (on gmane), first time poster. First, thank you all, very much, for your excellent work and superb community. ConTeXt has become a critical part of my academic writing and integral to my research. I'm not exaggerating when I say it changed how I thought about texts and became a major source for my dissertation work. Thank you! I'm trying to get a typescript for setting a text in Libertine with Junicode fallbacks for characters in MUFI, in the private use area. For some reason Libertine roman will not fallback no matter what I do. However Libertine italic will. I can also work around it by using Junicode as a base and forcing fallback to Libertine. My question is: why? What's wrong with Libertine roman? Or my approach? My hypothesis is that there's something about `LinLibertine_R.otf` that's not quite right. I looked in FontForge, but couldn't spot anything. Does anyone have a suggestion as to another place to look? Or something I'm overlooking? Minimal example (attached too, if it comes through): ``` \definefontfeature[default][default][script=latn] % Libertine with a Junicode fallback, lib-fb-jun \definefontfallback[junicodefallback][name:Junicode][privateusearea][check=yes,force=no] \starttypescript [serif] [lib-fb-jun] \definefontsynonym [Libertine-Roman] [file:linlibertiner] \definefontsynonym [Libertine-Slanted] [file:linlibertineri] % works fine \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [lib-fb-jun] [name] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [Libertine-Roman] [features=default,fallbacks=junicodefallback] \definefontsynonym [SerifSlanted] [Libertine-Slanted] [features=default,fallbacks=junicodefallback] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [lib-fb-jun] \definetypeface [lib-fb-jun] [rm] [serif] [lib-fb-jun] [default] \stoptypescript % Junicode with Libertine as a fallback, preferring Libertine, jun-pr-lib % this hack does what I want the above to do \definefontfallback[preferlibertine][name:linlibertineo][0-FFFFF][check=yes,force=yes] \starttypescript[serif] [jun-pr-lib] \definefontsynonym [JunicodeRoman] [name:Junicode] \stoptypescript \starttypescript[serif] [jun-pr-lib] [name] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [JunicodeRoman] [fallbacks=preferlibertine] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [jun-pr-lib] \definetypeface [jun-pr-lib] [rm] [serif] [jun-pr-lib] [default] \stoptypescript % some tracking stuff \enabletrackers[fonts.missing=replace] \enabledirectives[logs.errors] % text, we use lib-fb-jun first, then jun-pr-lib \starttext \setupbodyfont[lib-fb-jun] {\em emph. lib-fb-jun: \Uchar61125 \char64259 \utfchar{"eec5} (three glyphs)} lib-fb-jun: \Uchar61125 \char64259 \utfchar{"eec5} (three glyphs) % <- fallback fails here \switchtobodyfont[jun-pr-lib] jun-pr-lib: \Uchar61125 \char64259 \utfchar{"eec5} (three glyphs) % <- works \stoptext ``` Any ideas?

Seperate footnotereference and footnotenumber if necessary
by Huseyin Özoguz 05 Jan '22

05 Jan '22

Hello dear list, I work with grids and in many cases a footnote on one of the last lines forces and too early page break. See this min-example: \setuplayout[grid=yes] \showgrid \starttext \dorecurse{40}{Word.\\} Word.\footnote{Footnote} \stoptext % Lines 41 on page 1 is empty It preserves the footnote and the reference on the same (next) page, but the not full lines because of early pagebreak are inacceptable in my cases. What I do as a workaround: I seperate the footnote and the reference with \note[] and \footnotetext[]{} – but that is not ideal in a developing and changing document. Is there some automatic method to allow the footnote to set on the next page if otherwise the pagebreak would leave one or more lines at the buttom empty? Maybe some penalty for empty lines or something else? Thank you. Huseyin
