overfull gone?
by Steffen Wolfrum 07 Jun '22

07 Jun '22

Hi, in order to easily see overfull lines I used \overfullrule30\points : this gave a clear black box in the right margin. Is this command (\version[temporary]) gone?? Please have a look at the example below: no overfull indicator ... Steffen --- \setuppapersize[A6] \setupexternalfigures[location={default}] %\version[temporary] \overfullrule30\points% < BLACK BOX? \starttext \startcolumns[n=3] % Overfull lines will have slugs in colum margins. \input linden % Underfull hboxes get no warning x \stopcolumns \stoptext

How do I turn off indentation inside a \framed with align=?
by Gerben Wierda 03 Jun '22

03 Jun '22

I have these kinds of statements \framed[frame=off,align=flushleft,width=\textwidth]{\phrasetext{metamodelexplanation}} but the text inside the frame is typeset with indentation. I tried \setupindenting both before and after \starttext, (none,no,never) but that doesn’t work. How do I turn indenting off in all frameds with align=flushleft or otherwise *everywhere*?

issue in Lua syntax formatting

Hi, the formatting of Lua multi-line strings messes up the source structure, in the following MWE, the "one" is displayed after "[[": \starttext \startLUA words = [[ one two three ]] \stopLUA \stoptext (Denis recognized that in his MAPS/CGJ article on ligature handling.) Hraban

stacking of marginals
by Henning Hraban Ramm 31 May '22

31 May '22

If you have many marginals, they tend to conflict. The option stack=yes should enhance the situation. I don’t expect wonders – if there’s not enough space, then ConTeXt can’t solve it. But it used to work better, as I can see in my magazines from the last years. Now I can’t see a difference between stack=yes or no: \usemodule[visual] \useMPlibrary[dum] \setupmargindata[inmargin][stack=yes] \starttext \dorecurse{20}{% \fakewords{5}{30} \inmargin{\externalfigure[dummy\recurselevel][width=15mm,height=15mm]} \fakewords{5}{40}\par } \stoptext Hraban

issue with compress in linenote
by Pablo Rodriguez 31 May '22

31 May '22

Dear list, I have the following sample: \setuppapersize[A6] \setuplinenumbering [width=margin, location=outer, align=middle] \setupnote[linenote] [paragraph=yes, compress=yes, compressmethod=separator] \setupnotation[linenote] [alternative=serried, width=broad] \definelinenote[otherlinenote] %~ \setupnote[otherlinenote] %~ [compress=yes] \starttext \startlinenumbering \dorecurse{20} {uvwxyz\linenote{abcdef} } \stoplinenumbering \stoptext For some reason unknown to me, "compress=yes" only works in linenote if I setup another linenote and set it up with "compress=yes". Could anyone tell me what I am missing or have I hit a bug? Many thanks for your help, Pablo

Changing font and font size inside textex
by Stefan Nedeljkovic 31 May '22

31 May '22

Dear list, I want to be able to change the font and the font size inside a MPpage. But if I try to prepend \switchtobodyfont to the text inside textext it doesn't work. I'm using the following macro to set the font size via h-height: \starttexdefinition setxheight [#1][#2] \switchtobodyfont[#1, 12pt] \scratchdimen=\dimexpr#2\relax \switchtobodyfont[#1, \cldcontext{tex.dimen.scratchdimen / tex.sp"1ex" * tex.sp"1em" .. "sp"}] \stoptexdefinition But I can't figure out how to use that in MPpage. Any help would be appreciated. Sincerely, Stefan

Context path resolving, Problem with MkIV and TeXLive
by Gerion Entrup 31 May '22

31 May '22

Hi, I'm having a problem with TeXLive 2021 in conjunction with MkIV. Basically, executing context results in: % context mtxrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua I researched this and found that probably there is a path problem. LaTeX seems to be using kpathsea and /etc/texmf.cnf while context uses texmfcnf.lua. Looking into this file, it defines nearly all paths relative to "home:" or "selfautoparent:". Home is self explaining. I have no clue what selfautoparent is and also did not find an explanation in the internet. Anyway, selfautoparent seems not to be resolved correctly. I figured this by running `mtxrun --variables`. Here is a little excerpt: resolvers | lists | TEXMF resolvers | lists | env: {$TEXMFCONFIG,$TEXMFHOME,!!$TEXMFSYSCONFIG,!!$TEXMFSYSVAR,!!$TEXMFPROJECT,!!$TEXMFFONTS,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFDIST} resolvers | lists | var: TEXMF resolvers | lists | exp: {home:.texlive2020/texmf-config,home:texmf,!!selfautoparent:texmf-config,!!selfautoparent:texmf-var,!!selfautoparent:texmf-project,!!selfautoparent:texmf-fonts,!!.,!!selfautoparent:texmf-dist} resolvers | lists | res: {/home/gerion/.texlive2020/texmf-config,/home/gerion/texmf,!!./texmf-config,!!./texmf-var,!!./texmf-project,!!./texmf-fonts,!!.,!!./texmf-dist} ... resolvers | lists | TEXMFSYSVAR resolvers | lists | env: selfautoparent:texmf-var resolvers | lists | var: TEXMFSYSVAR resolvers | lists | exp: selfautoparent:texmf-var resolvers | lists | res: ./texmf-var resolvers | lists | TEXMFVAR resolvers | lists | env: unset resolvers | lists | var: TEXMFVAR resolvers | lists | exp: home:.texlive2020/texmf-var resolvers | lists | res: /home/gerion/.texlive2020/texmf-var "home:" seems to be resolved correctly to "/home/gerion". "selfautoparent" seems to be resolved to "." (the current directory?). My context (and TeXLive) installation is in /usr/share/texmf-dist. So running mtxrun --generate in exactly this directory and running context after that works: % mtxrun --generate resolvers | resolving | variable 'SELFAUTOLOC' set to '/usr/bin' resolvers | resolving

Running context or mtxrun anywhere else does not work. Can you help me fixing that? Do I need to edit texmfcnf.lua or is there a correct place for setting the tex installation directory? My distribution is Gentoo. I use the texlive packages from there. Also, this Gentoo bug is related: https://bugs.gentoo.org/740442 So probably, this is a Gentoo packaging problem. However, I'm asking here because I think that you know best about the search path internals. My main problem is to understand the path and variable resolving of context. Which files does it look at and what is selfautoparent? Best, Gerion

Setting up zint on a mac with macOS Montery Version 12.3.1
by Keith McKay 31 May '22

31 May '22

Hi All I have been struggling today trying to setup and use the Barcode module zint in ConTeXt and failed. I have followed the instructions on the wiki ( https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Barcodes ) but with some changes as follows. Which maybe why I failed. 1) I downloaded Zint using Homebrew since I'm using macOS, and installed it according to the instructions. 2) Since I'm using LMTX I looked for the file libzint.dylib and found it in /opt/homebrew/Cellar/zint/2.10.0/lib . This is different from the path given on the wiki. The directory contained three files, two of which were aliases, libzint.2.10.dylib and libzint.dylib, and an exe file libzint.2.10.0.0.dylib 3) I created the path $TEXROOT/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/lib/luametatex/zint and copied libzint.2.10.0.0.dylib into but replaced dylib with 'so' as suggested on the wiki instructions. So I basically added lib/luametatex/zint to texmf-osx-64/bin . 4) I ran mtxrun --generate to update the database. 5) I ran the MWE below but no barcode appeared. The console output shows: /modules > using user prefixed file 'libs-imp-zint'/ // /modules > 'zint' is loaded/ however further down the output it gives: /optional > unable to locate library 'libzint'/ // I have tried renaming libzint2.10.0.0.so to libzint.so, but still no barcode. Is their something I am missing? Tips or hints appreciated. Best Wishes Keith McKay %%%%%%%%%%%%%% MWE %%%%%%%% \usemodule[zint] \starttext \barcode[alternative=isbn,text=9783865419026,width=4cm] \barcode[alternative=isbnx, text=9783865419026, width=4cm] \barcode[alternative=qrcode, text={https://wiki.contextgarden.net}, width=3cm] \stoptext

MathML when processing XML
by Duncan Hothersall 30 May '22

30 May '22

This feels like a really stupid question but I can't find an answer to it anywhere. When processing an XML file directly with ConTeXt, i.e. using \startxmlsetups rules, how can I make use of the MathML module for the MathML content in my XML source? Should I include a specific piece of code with a \registerctxluafile command as well as / instead of \usemodule[mathml]? Do I need to use something other than \xmlflush to pass the XML to the module? Sorry, it's probably obvious but I can't work it out! Thanks. Duncan

Hello all, my first post in this mailing list and I hope you can help me. I am looking for a setting that sets the headings completely left-aligned.
