Hi śrīrāma, > I hope you made the format (context --make) after > applying the changes. That's exactly what I missed. Should have read the whole thread and not the last part… Reading your diff, I also didn't comment out the lines with string.tolower and local lowered, but I guess this is not an issue since I commented out all the entries with lowered[tag|field] Many thanks, Damien Thiriet

Can I just put a footnote without marking in the main text?
by Zhichu Chen 18 May '22

18 May '22

Hi everybody, After some attempts to put footnotes in a mixed 1&2 columns layout, I decide to put marks in the one-column environment and flush them when entering the two-column environment. The code is ugly but the result is acceptable. Except that the invisible footnote marks do generate something in the main text, so there's a blank line for each footnote. Here's an MWE: ============================================= \definenote[address] \setupnote[address][rule=off,location=text] \definenote[putjustmark] \setupnote[putjustmark][location=none] \setupnotation[putjustmark][numberconversion=set 2] \definenote[putjustnote]%[footnote] % if footnotes need to be grouped, uncomment the second argument and the line after \the\titlefootnotes \setupnote[putjustnote][textcommand=\gobbleoneargument] \setupnotation[putjustnote][numberconversion=set 2] \newtoks\titlefootnotes \def\thanks#1{\putjustmark{#1}\appendtoks \putjustnote{#1} \to \titlefootnotes} \def\email#1{\putjustmark{#1}\appendtoks \putjustnote{#1} \to \titlefootnotes} \appendtoks \setcounter[footnote][0] % this looks stupid because it has no effect %\setupnotation[footnote][numberconversion=numerals] \to \titlefootnotes \definenamespace [addr] [type=module, name=address, command=yes, setup=list, parent=addr, ] \define[1]\useaddress {\setnotetext[address][#1]{\namedaddressparameter{#1}{name}}} \starttext \defineaddress[fst][name={Name of Institute or Affiliation, City, Country}] \defineaddress[snd][name={Name of Secondary Institute or Affiliation, City, Country}] \processcommacommand[fst,snd]\useaddress The Title\thanks{Work supported by somebody.} Me\email{myemail(a)some.where}\high{,}\note[address][fst]\high{,}\note[address][snd] \placenotes[address] \blank[medium] \startcolumns \the\titlefootnotes %\setcounter[footnote][0] % why it's necessary to set the counter outside the token if I define [putjustnote] as [footnote]? test\footnote{test} \input knuth \stopcolumns \stoptext =============================================

And using lowercase characters is unfortunately a no-op as far as I'm concerned: my bib files have been filled with CamelCase for years, and are loaded by dozens of other files… is there something I missed? current version: 2022.05.02 16:19 Damien

Achieving the style of Jean-Luc Doumont
by Stefan Nedeljkovic 17 May '22

17 May '22

Dear list, Years ago I stumbled upon the work of Jean-Luc Doumont. He typesets all his documents using TeX, although his modified Version called Quantum. The whole idea of his fascinating approach is that the page is quantized in 2 dimensions and that all positioning, even graphical elements stick to that grid. I'm attaching a link to a presentation by him in which he gives some fragments of code that I, unfortunately, have a hard time understanding. I'm interested in replicating this 2d grid in Context. How would one go about enforcing such strict 2d organization? As I get it he does a lot of manual tweaking, and his documents are less automated and more hand crafted than a typical Context document. I'm specifically interested in using this approach for report generation. To me data I/O is not an issue since I would use a Python script to generate the markup. I know the question is pretty general, but any pointers would be welcome. Maybe the first thing useful would be the grid and how to position everything in accordance with it. I envisioned this thread more for discussion and suggestions than a complete recreation of his ideas. As I learn Context and Metapost, I hope I will figure out how to recreate his work. Sorry for the blog post :) Link to files: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1KpYbDlukvSCirKkFvJICOX3wABl_83bW?us… Sincerely, Stefan

lua-widow-control module error in LMTX
by Eduardo Bohoyo 14 May '22

14 May '22

Hi, I would like to know if anyone has experienced the same error with the lua-widow-control module when compiling the pdf: modules > 'lua-widow-control' is loaded open source > level 2, order 3, name '/opt/luametatex/texmf-modules/tex/context/third/lua-widow-control/t-lua-widow-control.mkxl'. resolvers > lua > unknown file 'lua-widow-control.lua' lua error > lua error on line 74 in file /opt/luametatex/texmf-modules/tex/context/third/lua-widow-control/t-lua-widow-control.mkxl The odd thing is that line 75 of the t-lua-widow-control file is empty. On the other hand, I confess that I don't know what "resolvers" means when it says it doesn't know the lua-widow-control.lua file. I don't see any mention of this file within the t-lua-widow-control module. Could it be that this module is not yet mature for lmtx, or am I missing something? I have \usemodule[lua-widow-control] in my tex document, and I haven't forgotten to do the prescribed mtxrun --generate after including the module in my third-party folder of my luametatex installation on Arch. Kind regards, Edu
