Regular online-meetup

09 May '22

You’re invited to join this Wednesday, May 11th, 15:00 CEST (UTC+2) at https://lecture.senfcall.de/hen-rbr-rku-oke ConTeXt users of all levels are welcome! Hans will probably give a Q&A session again – please announce subjects you’d like to discuss ASAP, so that he can prepare. E.g. we can talk a bit about bibliography (citeproc/CSL) and widow/orphan control, and I’d like to understand collectors. (Same blurb as every time:) [Howto] * No special software installation required; most modern browsers should work (WebRTC required). * Open the above URL, accept the privacy statement, * enter your name, * click "join" (or "start" if you’re the first), * click "with microphone", allow your browser to access it, check the audio. * Your microphone is muted if you join. Activate microphone and/or camera with the buttons at the bottom. * Minimize the default presentation with the "screen" button, bottom right. * If you’d like to share your screen or upload a file, you can make yourself the presenter: Click on your user name, change the setting, then you’ll see the "screen sharing" button beside the camera button; also there’s now "manage presentations" behind the "plus" button. Beware there is only one presenter, so don’t kill someone else’s presentation. [Technical hints] * Sound is usually better if you use a headset (less noise for everyone). * Connection problems are mostly due to low bandwidth or high latency on your side, e.g. with mobile connections. * If audio/video doesn’t work for you, you can still use the text chat. * Screen sharing needs a lot of bandwidth. [Netiquette] * Please use a name that we recognize from here. Some feel uncomfortable with anonymous lurkers. * Mute your microphone while you’re not talking. * It’s nice to show your face at least when you join. * If there are connection problems, stop camera sharing. * The room is set to “everyone’s a moderator“, I trust you... See you, Hraban

32-bit OpenBSD
by Mojca Miklavec 08 May '22

08 May '22

Hi, How long do we want/need to keep running the builders for 32-bit OpenBSD? It's taking 2 or 3 times longer to build binaries than for the 64-bit OS (not that this is super relevant since ppc builder is a whole order of magnitude slower anyway: building TL there takes about 6 hours) and I suspect that nobody is using those 32-bit binaries anyway.

Hi Mojca, hi Hans, OpenBSD 7.1 64-bit binaries works fine, thanks for upgrading ConTeXt to the new OpenBSD version. I don't use 32-bit version so as far as I am concerned, there is no need to compile them. Best regards, Damien Thiriet

Citeproc-lua
by denis.maier＠unibe.ch 07 May '22

07 May '22

Hi, I just came across this: https://github.com/zepinglee/citeproc-lua Thats's an lua implemenation of the CSL language targeting LaTeX. I don't know if the processor itself contains any LaTeX specific code, but it looks like the integration basically happens here : https://github.com/zepinglee/citeproc-lua/blob/main/latex/citation-style-la… So, at least in theory, shouldn't it be possible to make this workable also with context? Best, Denis

\xmlpos and \xmldepth misbehave? (again)
by Pablo Rodriguez 06 May '22

06 May '22

Dear list, I have the folloing sample: \startbuffer[text] <doc>first level <s>second level <ss>third level</ss> <ss>third level</ss> </s> <s>second level <ss>third level</ss> <ss>third level</ss> </s> <s>second level <ss>third level</ss> <ss>third level</ss> </s> </doc> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups xml:text \xmlsetsetup{#1}{doc|s|ss}{xml:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:text} \startxmlsetups xml:doc \chapter{\xmlpos{#1}\letterat\xmldepth{#1}: \xmlflush{#1}} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:s \section{\xmlpos{#1}\letterat\xmldepth{#1}: \xmlflush{#1}} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:ss \subsection{\xmlpos{#1}\letterat\xmldepth{#1}: \xmlflush{#1}} \stopxmlsetups \setuphead[chapter,section,subsection][before=,after=,] \setuppapersize[A7] \setuplayout[width=middle, header=0cm] \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{text}{} \stoptext All \xmldepth values are +1 that I think they should be (starting from 2 [instead of 1] up to 4 [instead of 3]). \xmlpos values seem to count 2, 4, 6… (instead of 1, 2, 3…). This is with current latest from 2022.05.02 16:19. Sorry, but could anyone confirm whether I’m missing something or whether this issue is a bug? Many thanks for your help, Pablo

Crediting copyright on photographs
by Bruce Horrocks 05 May '22

05 May '22

I need to include the copyright acknowledgement / photographer credit on an image but I'm not sure what's the best way to do it. Option 1: I can add the acknowledgement to the end of the \placefigure caption text: e.g. \placefigure{A picture of a cow. Image of a cow that may or may not be under copyright anymore.}{\externalfigure[cow][height=6cm]} then the copyright bit will appear in the Table of Figures which I don't really want to happen. Is there a way to truncate this? Option 2: some magazines print the copyright credit running up the side of the image, independently of the caption. I'd quite like to do this and wondered if anyone had already written something they could share? — Bruce Horrocks Hampshire, UK

XML: calculations on attribute values before output
by Duncan Hothersall 05 May '22

05 May '22

Hi. I'm processing an XML table and need to set a row span. Because we use a variant of the CALS table model, spans are defined by an attribute saying how many *additional* rows should be spanned, as opposed to how many *in total*. So to translate this into TABLE \bTD[nr=X] syntax I need to add 1. I'm guessing this is very easily doable (in lua?) but I've tried various permutations and can't work it out. If anyone could give me a pointer that would be great. (In reality I'm going to need to handle lots of other conversions of attribute values into \bTD[...] commands, so if there's a generalised way of doing that sort of thing, or even better if someone has already tackled CALS tables in this way, that would also be great!) MWE below, but obviously it just passes the morerows="1" value straight through into \bTD[nr=1] so it doesn't give me a row span at all. Thanks in advance. Duncan ------ \startbuffer[demo] <informaltable> <tgroup> <tbody> <row> <entry morerows="1">1</entry> <entry>2</entry> </row> <row> <entry>3</entry> </row> </tbody> </tgroup> </informaltable> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups xml:demo:base \xmlsetsetup{#1}{*}{xml:demo:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregisterdocumentsetup{demo}{xml:demo:base} \startxmlsetups xml:demo:informaltable \bTABLE \xmlflush{#1} \eTABLE \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:demo:tgroup \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:demo:tbody \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:demo:row \bTR \xmlflush{#1} \eTR \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:demo:entry \bTD[nr=\xmlattdef{#1}{morerows}{1}] \xmlflush{#1} \eTD \stopxmlsetups \setupbodyfont[modern] \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{demo}{demo}{} \stoptext ------

how to choose a font variant "book" / LMTX
by Heinrich Paeßens 04 May '22

04 May '22

Hi there I have a quick question: I was successful to install and use a new font in LMTX (New Computer Modern). All good except that I’d like to use the »Book« variant instead of the »Regular« variant (NewCM10-Book.otf vs NewCM10-Regular.otf). Trying many ways but the right one. please advise, can I define something similar like \bf for bold — maybe \bk for book? … all I get is hp@mbp16 ~ % pdffonts page1.pdf name type encoding emb sub uni object ID ------------------------------------ ----------------- ---------------- --- --- --- --------- CRBMBE+NewCM10-Regular CID Type 0C Identity-H yes yes yes 1 0 my definitions are: \definefontfamily [newCM] [rm] [newcomputermodern10] \definefontfamily [newCM] [ss] [newcomputermodernsans10] \definefontfamily [newCM] [tt] [newcomputermodernmono10] [scale=0.85, features=none] \definefontfamily [newCM] [mm] [newcomputermodernmath] \setupbodyfont[newCM, rm, 10pt] Many thanks Heinrich

Issue in btx rendering
by śrīrāma 04 May '22

04 May '22

Hi, [my current version: 2022.05.02 16:19] With the past two-or-so uploads, btx output seems to be broken in some cases. Compiling the below example \usebtxdataset[refs.bib] \usebtxdefinitions[aps] \starttext This reference has a tag which is in camel-case: \cite[Nielsen2011_ChernoffInformationExponentialFamilies] On the other hand this reference has a tag which is lower-case: \cite[vaart1998_asymptoticstatistics] \placelistofpublications \stoptext along with the bibtex file (refs.bib attached here), only the second citation entry has a properly rendered bibliography entry while the first one does not. Notably, any bibtex entries whose tags are not all lowercase (ASCII) are not rendered correctly. Instead, in the log I get publications > unknown tag 'nielsen2011_chernoffinformationexponentialfamilies' in dataset 'default' Almost all my entries in bib files are in camel-case since I find that to be easier to read and it gives me a better clue of what the item is. With some recent uploads I noticed that in publ-ini.lua 'tag' and 'field' entries were string.lowered(). Upon removing those statements, I am able to get the proper output. I also have certain bib files where the entries are not at all in ASCII (so I am not sure what the code might do there, I did not check in detail). I hope I can continue to use camel case for the tags (if its not too much to ask): is there some additional setting that I should change to allow this so that the output is rendered correctly? Thanks, Sreeram
