Status of Asymptote
by Alexandre Christe 10 Jan '24

10 Jan '24

Dear all, I'd like to know what is the status of Asymptote in Context. To my knowledge, metapost/metafun only support 2D (except with the additional libraries from Roegel, which would have to be cleaned up a bit). Otherwise, what shall be used for 3D drawings in Context? TikZ? Something else? Thanks in advance. Alex

Re: [NTG-context] checkbox in fields show the word yes
by Andres Conrado Montoya 05 Oct '23

Firefox doesn't show the "yes", nor Acrobat X, but SumatraPDF does. I modified your definition as: \definefield[test][check][cbox][][] And now the "yes" doesn't appear. However, I don't know how this affects the functionality of the form. -- Andrés Conrado Montoya Andi Kú andresconrado(a)gmail.com http://sesentaycuatro.com http://messier87.com http://chiquitico.org ---------------------------------------- Los fines no justifican los medios, porque la medida verdadera de nuestro carácter está dada por los medios que estamos dispuestos a utilizar, no por los fines que proclamamos. ---------------------------------------- “You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it.

Dear all, I'm struggling to setup a nested itemize with no blank line and several columns. What I mean is something like 1. a) bla c) bla b) bla d) bla The following MWE is my starting point \starttext \startitemize[n] \item \blank[-line] \startitemize[a,horizontal,two] [margin=2cm] \item First \item Second \item Third \item Fourth \stopitemize \item \blank[-line] \startitemize[a,horizontal,columns,two] \item First \item Second \item Third \item Fourth \stopitemize \stopitemize \stoptext Thanks in advance

new uplaod
by Hans Hagen 17 Apr '23

17 Apr '23

Hi, I uploaded a new lmtx. Again some updated math of which details will be revealed later. Apart from some details we added suport for fourier notations. There are no high level definitions yet as we have to invent names but this is how it works (private unicode slots might change): \setupbodyfont[pagella] \starttext \setupmathdelimited [topoffset=.2\exheight] \definemathdelimited [fourier] [rule=no, left=\zerocount, right="FE944] \definemathdelimited [courier] [rule=no, left=\zerocount, right="FE946] \definemathdelimited [xourier] [rule=no, left=\zerocount, right="FE948] $ \fourier{(z+1)} $ $ \fourier{(z+1)} + \sqrt[2]{1}$ $ \fourier{(z+1)} + \courier{(z+1)} + \xourier{(z+1)} $ $ \fourier{\left(z+\frac12\right)} + \courier{\left(z+\frac12\right)} + \xourier{\left(z+\frac12\right)} $ $ \autofences \fourier{(z+\frac12)} + \courier{(z+\frac12)} + \xourier{(z+\frac12)} $ $ \widehat{x^2 + 2x + 2} $ \stoptext This example also shows a new \autofences feature and widehats (widetilde and widecheck also work that way) that overcome limitations in fonts, so \def\CrappyHack#1{\im{#1{a} + #1{a+b} + #1{a+b+c} + #1{a+b+c+d} + #1{a+b+c+d+e} + #1{a+b+c+d+e+f}}\par} \CrappyHack\widehat \CrappyHack\widetilde \CrappyHack\wideacute \CrappyHack\widecheck will work. For thise in finance we now have $ \annuity{x + 1} + \lannuity{x + 1} + \rannuity{x + 1} + \lrannuity{x + 1} $ these are basically radicals (like sqrt) with two sided symbols.

Adding support for German language to the Words conversion
by Marcus Christopher Ludl 31 Dec '22

31 Dec '22

Hello all, this is my first contribution to this mailing list. 😄 Recently, when I posted a question on StackExchange.com regarding adding support for another language (German) to the "Words" conversion in ConTeXt (see here: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/657534/how-to-add-support-for-anoth…), @mickep suggested that I post the patched file (core-con.lua) to the mailing list, once I have it finished, so that it can be added for all to use. So, now that I'm confident my code works well, I would like to do just that. 😄 How should I proceed? Should I just send the file including my new code as an attachement to the mailing list? Or would it be preferrable to paste only the new parts of the code inline into an e-mail? Is that even the correct mailing list or would it be better to send this to dev-context(a)ntg.nl? Best, Marcus

Convertnumber with \ref[number] fails in MkIV, works in LMTX
by Rik Kabel 06 Dec '22

06 Dec '22

Hello list, The following fails with ConTeXt ver: 2021.10.24 21:45 MKIV but works with the companion LMTX. The error message is:tex error > tex error on line 6 in file G:/TestConTeXt/convert.tex: ! Incompatible glue units , pointing to the second \convertnumber line. \definelabel[XX]%[text=,before=,after=,alternative=inright] \startTEXpage[offset=2em] abc\XX[xx]\par \ref[number][xx] · \convertnumber{r}{1} · \convertnumber{R}{\ref[number][xx]} \stopTEXpage In this case I am trying to display with roman numerals the number generated in the label created through \definelabel. Suggestions welcomed. -- Rik

context --autopdf and --showdirectives
by Henning Hraban Ramm 02 Nov '22

02 Nov '22

I’d like to configure the default behaviour of "context --autopdf"; since on my Mac I must always write "--autopdf=auto", otherwise context tries to call wine "sumatrapdf.exe" -reuse-instance -bg-color 0xCCCCCC instead of e.g. "open". There’s a hint about "directives_pdfview_method", so I wanted to find out more about directives: "context --showdirectives" looks promising; it tells me "result saved in file: .../texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/mtx-context-setters.pdf", but that file isn’t there; it is actually in the current directory, but broken. * How can I configure the command for --autopdf ? (Something in texmfcnf.lua?) * Can we add additional options ("pdfview methods: auto default okular pdfxcview sumatra"), e.g. open (should be default on Mac), xdg-open (could be default on Linux)... * What’s wrong with --showdirectives?

Create the values of a sequence with Lua
by Fabrice Couvreur 31 Oct '22

31 Oct '22

Hi, The idea is to fill the array with the sequence defined by p(0) = 0.3 and p(n + 1) = 0.3 + 0.7*p(n) The problem is that I don't really master Lua but I will learn when I have some time! Thanks for your help. Fabrice \starttext \startluacode context.startxtable({"align={middle,lohi},width=2cm,bodyfont=9pt"}) p = {} p[0] = 0.3 for i=0,19 do p[i+1] = 0.3+0.7*p[i]^2 end context.startxrow() for i=0,19 do context.startxcell() context(i) context.stopxcell() context.startxcell() context(i+1) context.stopxcell() context.startxcell() context("%0.8f",p[i] ) context.stopxcell() context.stopxrow() end context.stopxtable() \stopluacode \stoptext
