\placelistofabbreviations in project structure?
by jbf 20 Jun '22

20 Jun '22

Hi, I wonder what I might be doing wrong for \placelistofabbreviations not to work in a project. Everything else about \definesysnonyms and indeed the project is working, but I seem unable to place the list correctly in the component that is intended to list all abbreviations. The main environment file for the project contains the definitions. e.g. \definesynonyms[abbreviation][abbreviations][\infull] \setupsynonyms[abbreviation][synonymstyle=\em] \abbreviation[adjp] {adjp.} {adjectival phrase} All dictionary components (A-Z) call on the main environment file where the above is defined and give me the correct result if I write \adjp\ or \infull{adjp} in any one of them. My MWE below for the (as yet not working) abbreviations component that contains the placelist command: \startcomponent 04_abbreviations \project project_Dictionary \startchapter[title={Abbreviations}] \placelistofabbreviations[criterium=all] \stopchapter \stopcomponent According to me that should work, but all I get is the chapter title. I also tried adding a state=start in case that was needed, but it did nothing. Julian

Dear list, I have the following sample: \setuppapersize[A6] \definelinenote[otherlinenote] \setupnote[otherlinenote] [compress=yes] \startsetups[line:notes] \setupinterlinespace[line=2.9ex] \stopsetups \setupnote[linenote] [paragraph=yes, compress=yes, compressmethod=separator]% \setupnotation[linenote][alternative=serried, width=broad] \starttext \startlinenumbering \dorecurse{3}{\subject{Heading\linenote{title}} \dorecurse{2}{text\linenote{some text}\linenote{another text}\par}} \stoplinenumbering \stoptext How can I get headings added to the line numbers? Many thanks for your help, Pablo

\setuplist only for bodypart
by Pablo Rodriguez 18 Jun '22

18 Jun '22

Dear list, sorry for the very basic question, but I cannot find the way to do it. Imagine I have the following command: \setuplist [chapter] [alternative=d] But I only want for sectionblock bodypart (nof for frontpart, backpart or the appendices). I have enclosed in: \startsectionblockenvironment[bodypart] ... \stopsectionblockenvironment I have also tried: \setuplist [bodypart:chapter] [alternative=d] But nothing changed. Which is the right way to do it? Many thanks for your help, Pablo

How to print a random whole number between x and y?
by Joel 17 Jun '22

17 Jun '22

I was using this code for a long time in my document. I have a PDF with 10 pages, and this would randomly display one of those pages: \ctxlua{math.randomseed( os.time() )} \getrandomnumber \n {1} {10} \placefigure[force, none]{}{\framed[frame=off]{\externalfigure[comic.pdf][page=\n, width=\textwidth]}} For reasons I cannot understand, after an update of ConTeXt, the code no longer works, though trying to reduce it to a minimum working example it works, so I cannot figure out what is wrong in my code. Undefined control sequence <argument> ...domseed( os.time() )} \par \getrandomnumber \n {1} {10} \par \placefigure... \doifsomething #1->\edef \m_syst_string_one {#1 }\ifx \m_syst_string_one \emp... \event ... {#6}{{\bf #6}} \par \doifsomething {#7} {#7 } \par \doifsomething ... Is there another solution for generating a random whole number between 1 and 10? --Joel

Custom engine settings in AUCTEX
by Jan-Erik Hägglöf 17 Jun '22

17 Jun '22

HI! I’ve been trying out Doom-Emacs and when I open a ConTeXt file i want the engine point to my LMTX installation. /Users/jan-erikhagglof/context/context-osx-64/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/ is the path to my install on my Macos Monterey. How can this been customized? Its a bit confusing reading the AUCTEX manual so maybe someone has a working config already? Thanks in advance Jan-Erik

lmtx installation paths not working
by Jano Kula 17 Jun '22

17 Jun '22

Hello list, I cannot make fresh install of lmtx to work. The structure after unzipping: C:\data\context\bin\beta C:\data\context\bin\beta\bin C:\data\context\bin\beta\tex C:\data\context\bin\beta\tex\texmf C:\data\context\bin\beta\tex\texmf-cache C:\data\context\bin\beta\tex\texmf-context etc. First compilation of texfile is not working, so mtxrun --generate is the friend. C:\data>mtxrun --generate These paths contain probably correct path (watch /beta): resolvers | resolving | variable 'SELFAUTOLOC' set to ' *C:/data/context/bin/beta/bin*' resolvers | resolving | variable 'SELFAUTODIR' set to ' *C:/data/context/bin/beta*' resolvers | resolving | variable 'SELFAUTOPARENT' set to ' *C:/data/context/bin*' resolvers | resolving | variable 'TEXMFCNF' set to '' resolvers | resolving | variable 'TEXMF' set to '' resolvers | resolving | variable 'TEXOS' set to 'beta' resolvers | resolving | and the paths bellow have no */beta* from above, they are derived from selfautoparent *C:/data/context/bin *(without /beta), so no surprise they cannot be found. resolvers | resolving | using configuration specification 'home:texmf/web2c;selfautoparent:/texmf-local/web2c;selfautoparent:/texmf-context/web2c;selfautoparent:/texmf-dist/web2c;selfautoparent:/texmf/web2c' resolvers | resolving | resolvers | resolving | looking for regular 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path 'C:/Users/jano/texmf/web2c' from specification 'home:texmf/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for regular 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path *'C:/data/context/bin/texmf-local/web2c*' from specification 'selfautoparent:/texmf-local/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for regular 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path '*C:/data/context/bin/texmf-context/web2c'* from specification 'selfautoparent:/texmf-context/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for regular 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path '*C:/data/context/bin/texmf-dist/web2c*' from specification 'selfautoparent:/texmf-dist/web2c' [... skip ...] resolvers | resolving | looking for regular 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path resolvers | resolving | resolvers | resolving | warning: no lua configuration files found resolvers | resolving | no texmf paths are defined (using TEXMF) resolvers | resolving | mtxrun | mtxrun | elapsed lua time: 0.026 seconds Do you have an idea how to fix problem?

local footnotes and captions
by denis.maier＠unibe.ch 16 Jun '22

16 Jun '22

Hi, another experiment with footnotes in captions, this time local footnotes : %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \setupcaptions[location=top] \starttext \startlocalfootnotes \placetable % The caption {A breakfast table.\footnote{asdf}} % the table \placelegend {\starttable[|l|r|] \HL \VL Spam \footnote {lovely} \VL Bacon \footnote {wonderful} \VL\FR \VL Eggs \footnote {wonderful} \VL Spam \footnote {lovely} \VL\LR \HL \stoptable} % the footnotes {\placelocalfootnotes} \stoplocalfootnotes \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Two observations : 1. the footnote numbering is a bit odd, shouldn't the footnote in the caption be numbered with 1? 2. The footnote in the caption is not included in the local footnotes. Why is that? Denis

Foonotes in Captions ... again
by denis.maier＠unibe.ch 16 Jun '22

16 Jun '22

Hi everyone What's the current state of affairs regarding footnotes in floats? Both version in the example below don't quite work... (Ideally, the note should be on the page with the float and the caption, but the numbering should also be adjusted.) Best, Denis \starttext \footnote{asdf} \footnote{asdf} \footnote{asdf} \input ward \startplacefigure[title={asdfasdf\footnote{test 1}}] \externalfigure[cow.pdf] \stopplacefigure \footnote{asdf} \footnote{asdf} \footnote{asdf} \startplacefigure[title={asdfasdf\footnote{test 2}}] \externalfigure[cow.pdf][height=10cm] \stopplacefigure \footnote{asdf} \footnote{asdf} \footnote{asdf} \page \footnote{asdf} \footnote{asdf} \footnote{asdf} \input ward \startplacefigure[title={asdfasdf\footnote{test 1}}] \externalfigure[cow.pdf] \stopplacefigure \footnote{asdf} \footnote{asdf} \footnote{asdf} \startpostponingnotes \startplacefigure[title={asdfasdf\footnote{test 2}}] \externalfigure[cow.pdf][height=10cm] \stopplacefigure \stoppostponingnotes \footnote{asdf} \footnote{asdf} \footnote{asdf} \stoptext

Footnotes in captions -> "inherit" textwidth from float
by denis.maier＠unibe.ch 16 Jun '22

16 Jun '22

Hi, I think I've ran into a somewhat strange behaviour. If you have a footnote in a float caption, the footnote won't use the full textwidth, but only the width of the corresponding caption. Is that on purpose, a context bug or a user bug? Best, Denis \starttext asdf \startplacefigure[title={My caption with a long footnote.\footnote{\input ward}}] \externalfigure[cow.pdf] \stopplacefigure \stoptext

Why are some images rendered very tiny?
by Joel 15 Jun '22

15 Jun '22

I wrote this macro to display images in my book. It should place the image to the left, filling ~50% of \textwidth, then the caption is to the right. \setupcaption[location=right, minwidth=.5\textwidth] \define[4]\figureis{% \placefigure{#2, Courtesy #3, photo no. #1\nocite[#4]{}}{\externalfigure[#1][maxheight=.7\paperheight, maxwidth=.5\paperwidth, minwidth=.5\paperwidth]} } #1 = filename, other variables are used for reference/credit details. The problem is, somehow some images are inexplicably displayed very tiny on the page. I check the image file and they are not small, but somehow is rendered small with the code above. What is wrong in my code? --Joel
