[Bug] Two-column text: Larger top spacing in inline images
by Marcin Ciura 27 Jun '22

27 Jun '22

Dear Hans and ConTeXt developers, When you compile the following code with ConTeXt ver: 2021.10.28 10:19, you will see that: * in 1-column text the top spacing of the circle is normal, * in 2-column text, the top spacing of the circle is too large. Here is the link to the output PDF: https://live.contextgarden.net/cgi-bin/result.cgi?id=7K5tLW \def\example{% Lorem ipsum. Lorem ipsum. Lorem ipsum. Lorem ipsum. Lorem ipsum. Lorem ipsum.

Re: [NTG-context] Count (and limit) glyphs per line?
by Benjamin Buchmuller 26 Jun '22

I completely agree, Hans, that such specifications are often made without a second thought on them. And Max is probably right that they originated from the typewriter area. In a sense these "challenges" can be at least somewhat educational. I've learnt---also thanks to Max's suggestions---a fair amount on LMTX. So, I'm looking forward to see how the "crappyspec" parbuilder will finally look like. Thank you very much for the demo, looks very impressive! Best Benjamin

"mtxrun --scripts cache --erase" not working?
by Pablo Rodriguez 26 Jun '22

26 Jun '22

Dear list, as reported some months ago (https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2022/105420.html) "mtxrun --scripts cache --erase" doesn’t erase the cache at all. Could anyone confirm this issue (which I experience on both Linux64 and Win64)? Many thanks for your help, Pablo

Radiobuttons again...
by Henning Hraban Ramm 25 Jun '22

25 Jun '22

Hi Hans, I know you hate form widgets, but I found a clue what might be wrong with radiobuttons. While we can’t fix the behaviour of viewers, ConTeXt’s radiobuttons misbehave if they don’t have a custom symbol (that OTOH is not shown in many viewers). If I don’t use a custom symbol in \definesubfield, all subfields are activated together, which is clearly wrong. I hope that’s an easy fix. Hraban """ \setupinteraction[state=start] \setuppaper[a6,landscape] \setupfield[CGradio][frame=off, height=1em, width=1em] \definefield[CGjoin][radio][CGradio][CGPerson,CGCompany][CGPerson] \definesubfield[CGPerson][][] % doesn’t work \definesubfield[CGCompany][][] \definefield[CGjoinA][radio][CGradio][CGPersonA,CGCompanyA][CGPersonA] \definesubfield[CGPersonA][][x,-] % works, but ugly \definesubfield[CGCompanyA][][x,-] \starttext I’d like to join CG as a \field[CGPerson]\ person / \field[CGCompany]\ company. I’d like to join CG as a \field[CGPersonA]\ person / \field[CGCompanyA]\ company. \stoptext """

return a labeltext with color...
by Willi Egger 24 Jun '22

24 Jun '22

Hi all, Sorry for bothering you again. I would like that lua is returning a colored string, which is a label-text. The following does not work, the labeltext remains black, there is no error though: return context.color({"red"},context.labeltext(s)) What is the correct approach? Thanks for enlighten me :-) Willi

by Hans Hagen 24 Jun '22

24 Jun '22

Hi, I just found otu that the majority of the mailing list mails ended up in a different mail box (som,ehoe thunderbird has problems with two accounts being subscribed to the same list). So, if there has been serious issues not resolved (the last year) let me know. A quick checked that most got answered in some way, Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Good evening gurus! Why is the minimal example failing? i.e. executing always the else-branch? \setuppapersize[A6][A6] \setvariables [Test] [Number=] \starttext Value of variable Number before test: \getvariable{Test}{Number} \crlf \doifemptyelse{\getvariable{Test}{Number}} {\dorecurse {5} {TEST} } {Nothing defined \par Contents of variable Number: \getvariable{Test}{Number} } \stoptex I am using ConTeXt version 2022.05.11 11:36 LMTX fmt: 2022.6.15 Kind regards Willi

Detailed citation of reference
by Johann Birnick 24 Jun '22

24 Jun '22

Hi there, using \cite[myreference] I will get a result like "[1]", or I could also change the "1" into some more detailed information such as a tag. However, I want to obtain something like "[1, section 2.1]". How can I achieve this? Thank you very much, Johann
