Apostrophe entity using \xmltexentity is ignored
by Thangalin 08 Oct '22

08 Oct '22

Has the handling for the apostrophe character entity changed recently? In the following example, the \xmltexentity for apostrophe is ignored, resulting in a straight apostrophe instead of a curled one: % SOT \xmltexentity{apos}{’} \xmltexentity{lsquo}{‘} \xmltexentity{rsquo}{’} \xmltexentity{laquo}{«} \xmltexentity{raquo}{»} \startbuffer[document] <body> ‘Sylvia's spilled «wine».’ </body> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups xml:xhtml \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{body}{xml:*} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:body \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:xhtml} \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{xhtml}{document}{} \stoptext % EOT Any ideas on how to fix it? Thank you. mtx-context | current version: 2022.09.11 20:44

Example from Practex Journal

Hello, Could anybody help me out with the setup and a MWE to get a document exactly as the one from Steve Peter in the Practex Journal in 2005 as in https://tug.org/pracjourn/2005-1/peter/peter.pdf I find this one hard to replicate. What is the font type that was used for this document ? Thanks Jeroen

Spacing issue with \digits in math mode
by Gavin 04 Oct '22

04 Oct '22

Hi list, I have been trying to understand the workings of the \unit command, which is producing strange spacing in math mode. In an effort to be more systematic, I began by investigating the related \digit command. \digit works well in text, but in math mode the comma separators produce unwanted space. \digits {12,345.67} vs.\ $\digits {12,345.67}$ Below is a one page test document, derived from the code in phys-dim.mkxl. I think a simple fix would be to treat the comma as “ord” inside a number, but I don’t know if that is easy or not. I’d also like the space removed from around the “x" in scientific notation, which might be accomplished the same way. Thanks for all the work on spacing in math! Gavin \setuppapersize[A4] \showmakeup[mathglue] %\mathspacingmode=1 \starttext Digits in math mode have problems with comma separators. \startbuffer 10 \setdigitmode {1} \setdigitorder{0} $\digits {12,345.67e89}$ 20 \setdigitmode {2} \setdigitorder{0} $\digits {12,345.67e89}$ 30 \setdigitmode {3} \setdigitorder{0} $\digits {12,345.67e89}$ 40 \setdigitmode {4} \setdigitorder{0} $\digits {12,345.67e89}$ 50 \setdigitmode {5} \setdigitorder{0} $\digits {12,345.67e89}$ 60 \setdigitmode {6} \setdigitorder{0} $\digits {12,345.67e89}$ 11 \setdigitmode {1} \setdigitorder{1} $\digits {12,345.67e89}$ 21 \setdigitmode {2} \setdigitorder{1} $\digits {12,345.67e89}$ 31 \setdigitmode {3} \setdigitorder{1} $\digits {12,345.67e89}$ 41 \setdigitmode {4} \setdigitorder{1} $\digits {12,345.67e89}$ 51 \setdigitmode {5} \setdigitorder{1} $\digits {12,345.67e89}$ 61 \setdigitmode {6} \setdigitorder{1} $\digits {12,345.67e89}$ \stopbuffer \typebuffer This is typeset as: \startlines \getbuffer \stoplines In text, the \type{\digits} command works fine: \setdigitmode {2}\setdigitorder{0}\digits{12,345.67e89}. \blank Suggestion: Within \type{\digits} (and probably \type{\units}) the comma could be an \quotation{ord} rather than a \quotation{pun}. This appears to be how the period is handled. \blank I personally think the space around the \quotation{$\times$} is excessive, especially when the number is in a formula. \startformula \digits {12,345.67e89} + \digits {12,345.67e89} \stopformula I would like the \quotation{$\times$} to also be an \quotation{ord} when used for scientific notation. \stoptext

remote images
by Henning Hraban Ramm 04 Oct '22

04 Oct '22

Hi, fetching images per URI was supported (and is also documented in the wiki), but with LMTX 2022.09.11 and one of \externalfigure[http://tug.org/images/logobw.jpg] or \externalfigure[https://picsum.photos/300/200] I only get the usual grey box. No error message. Do I need any setup, was this discarded in LMTX, or what’s wrong? Hraban
