How to make a row of text have vertical centering in tabulate environment?
by Joel 25 Oct '22

25 Oct '22

I have a simple tabulate environment like this: \starttext \starttabulate[|p(.45\textwidth)|cp(.1\textwidth)|p(.45\textwidth)|] \NR \HL \NC Cause \NC \NC Effect \NC\NR \HL \NC \NC \NC \NC\NR \NC text a \NC text b \NC \input knuth \NC\NR %<-- vertically center this row \HL \NR \stoptabulate \stoptext I'd like to vertically center the content in the one marked row. By default, they seem to place each cell aligned to the top, but how can I adjust them vertically so the text is vertically centered just in specific rows? --Joel

Hi, according to the Chicago Manual of Style we should «never add a hyphen to break a URL»: (https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/qanda/data/faq/topics/URLs/faq0008.html) Is there a switch to forbid \useURL adding hyphens? \starttext \useURL[test][https://litteraturbanken.se/f\%C3\%B6rfattare/CollijnI/titlar/ActaEtProcessusCanon/sida/614/faksimil? show_search_work&s_query=retractata&s_lbworkid=lb487378&s_mediatype=faksimil&s_word_form_only][][{https://litteraturbanken.se/f\%C3\%B6rfattare/CollijnI/titlar/ActaEtProcessusCanon/sida/614/faksimil? show_sear-ch_work&s_query=retractata&s_lbworkid=lb487378&s_mediatype=faksimil&s_word_form_only}]\from[test]% \stoptext Steffen

How to set the vertical spacing between a sequence of images?
by Joel 25 Oct '22

25 Oct '22

I have code like this which randomly pulls a page from `comic2.pdf` and displays it, scaled to fit \textwidth, then displays four more random pages afterwares. \starttext \dorecurse{5}{ \placefigure[force, none]{}{\framed[frame=off]{\externalfigure[comic2.pdf][page=\randomnumber{1}{34}, width=\textwidth]}} }\stoptext The problem is I need to adjust the vertical space between the images. It seems to be set to some lineheight or such, but I need the distance between each image to be at 1/50th or 0.02 of \textwidth. ...though the last image can have the ordinary gap afterwards. How can I se the vertical spacing between this sequence of image to 0.02\textwidth? --Joel

Hyphenation in multi-language projects
by Steffen Wolfrum 24 Oct '22

24 Oct '22

Hi, please have a look at this minimal example. The idea is to set the hyphenation for certain words regardless of the language that is used in the surrounding paragraphs. In this example it should stay: «steff-en» How do i set this to all non-english paragraphs (without using \hyphenation on each language-switch)? Best, Steffen — \starttext \setuppapersize[A6][A6] \mainlanguage[en] \startexceptions steff-en \stopexceptions english text english text english teste: steffen \start\language[it] italian text italian text italian teste: steffen \stop \start\language[it]\hyphenation{steff-en} italian text italian text italian teste: steffen \stop \stoptext

Backgrounds has changed in latest lmtx
by Thomas A. Schmitz 23 Oct '22

23 Oct '22

Hi everybody, With the latest lmtx, my page backgrounds don’t work any more. I think Otared mentioned that the simpleslides module is having problems. I’m trying to figure out what is happening, but I don’t see any warnings or errors, just unexpected results (which is not a good thing). I’m starting with the fundamentals. Here is a fairly minimal example: compile with context --luatex to see the expected result and with lmtx to see what is wrong. All best Thomas \setuppapersize[A6,landscape][A6,landscape] \setuplayout[backspace=1cm, topspace=0.4cm, marking=off, width=13cm, height=9.7cm, header=0.6cm, footer=0cm, ] \startreusableMPgraphic{card} StartPage ; save p ; path p[] ; p[0] = ulcorner Page -- urcorner Page ; p[0] := p[0] shifted (0, -0.97cm) ; for i = 1 upto 18 : p[i] = p[i-1] shifted (0, -14.42pt) ; draw p[i] withcolor (0.5,0.5,0.5) ; endfor ; pickup pencircle scaled 2pt ; draw p[0] withcolor red ; StopPage ; \stopreusableMPgraphic \defineoverlay[Card][\reuseMPgraphic{card}] \setupbackgrounds[page] [state=repeat, background={Card}] \starttext Test \stoptext

issue with variable font
by Pablo Rodriguez 23 Oct '22

23 Oct '22

Dear list, I have the following sample (using current latest from 22022.10.22 11:23): \definefontfeature [book] [axis={weight=700}] \definefontfamily[mainface][rm] [Commissioner][features={default, book}] \setupbodyfont[mainface, 25pt] \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=1ex, align=center] EFT ΕΘΞ \blank[quarterline] \dontleavehmode \externalfigure[commissioner][width=.25\textwidth] \stopTEXpage \stoptext The external figure is the output from Inkscape 1.1.2. I attach the generated PDF document from the source above. The variable font from Commissioner can be downloaded from https://github.com/kosbarts/Commissioner/releases/download/1.000/Commission…. ConTeXt seems to misread the font strokes (paths [or whatever the right name might be]), since Inkscape has no problems with it. Could anyone be so kind to confirm the issue? Many thanks for your help, Pablo

Formula has excess vertical spacing when in two column itemize
by Gavin 22 Oct '22

22 Oct '22

Hi List, I am getting better at adjusting the space in enumerations, but I just put a formula inside an enumeration, and the formula’s vertical spacing became excessive. I’m not sure how the enumeration caused this problem. \starttext Evaluate the following derivatives. \startitemize[n, columns, two, nowhite, after] \item\hspace[big] $\frac{d}{dx} x^2$ This is where the solution should be. Text answers look fine, but formulas have too much space above, below and between lines\dots. \item\hspace[big] $\frac{d}{dx}\left( x^3 + 2x \right)$ \item\hspace[big] $\frac{d}{dx}\left( x^{-2} \right)$ \item\hspace[big] $\frac{d}{dt}\left( 4t^4 - 3t^{\onehalf} \right) $ \item\hspace[big] $\frac{d}{dt}( 9 - 3t )$ \startformula\startmathalignment \NC \frac{d}{dt}( 9 - 3t ) \NC= \frac{d}{dt} 9 - \frac{d}{dt} 3t \NR \NC \NC= 0 - 3\frac{d}{dt} t \NR \NC \NC= -3\cdot 1t^0 \NR \NC \NC= -3 \NR \stopmathalignment\stopformula \item\hspace[big] $\frac{d}{dp}\left( p^3 - 2p \right)$ \stopitemize \stoptext I’m also attaching a file with the above issue followed by the correct spacing in one-column for comparison. I’m using LMTX (today’s upload, ver: 2022.10.21 21:13 LMTX fmt: 2022.10.21) on an M1 Mac. Any ideas? Gavin
