error with sbl bibliography on latest LMTX
by Henning Hraban Ramm 09 Jul '22

09 Jul '22

Hi Joel (et al.), I tried the SBL bibliography setup with the latest LMTX; the example and bib database are from Dennis’ article on ligatures in the upcoming CG journal: """ \usebtxdataset[default][references.bib] \setupbtx[dataset=default] \usebtxdefinitions[sbl] \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext superior typographic output \cite[lefttext={e.g.}][taraborelli:beauty]. Therefore, the {\TEX}book mentions that the word \quotation{shel\noligature{ff}ul} should indeed be rendered without the ff-ligature \cite[righttext={p.~19}][knuth:texbook]. \placelistofpublications%[numbering=yes] \stoptext """ Unfortunately, I get some errors, while it works with APS and APA: -- invalid parent sbl:list:title:unpublished for sbl:list:title:thesis, sbl:list:title:unpublished defined too (best check it) -- Undefined control sequence \currentbtxloctext I installed your files in TEXMFHOME, and apparently, ConTeXt can find them.

two issues with \sciteinlinebuffer
by Pablo Rodriguez 09 Jul '22

09 Jul '22

Hi Hans, many thanks for the new release. I experience two issues with scite buffers: \usemodule[scite] \setuptyping[margin=yes] \starttext \startbuffer[b]b\stopbuffer \startTEXpage[offset=1em] no margin a \sciteinlinebuffer[none][b] a a \typeinlinebuffer[b][option] a \stopTEXpage \stoptext 1. Margin is applied to \sciteinlinebuffer. 2. An extra unwanted space is added after \sciteinlinebuffer. Isn’t it intended that \sciteinlinebuffer behaves in a similar way as \typeinlinebuffer? Many thanks for your help and your excellent work, Pablo

Hi, We're pleased to announce the first official release of the new math code. We're talking of: -- a reworked math engine (which happened stepwise so some already trickled into previous uploads) -- settling on one model for display math but with alignment variants as well as improving inline math (e.g. wrt linebreaks) -- redoing bit of the (sub) numbering -- improving the alignment features (the traditional one and the text/page mode one) -- fixing the math font using all kind of tweaks in the goodie file -- providing means to annotate formulas -- we ditched support for \over simply because it is too fragile wrt spacing (one can \usemodule[oldmath] to get it back -- we might move some more alien stuff to m-oldmath in due time We paid a lot of attention to details of positioning, sizing and spacing of glyphs. We do have some documents in the making that describe this (some are in the ontarget namespace) and the second half of this year we use for writing a math manual (Mikael) and updating the luametatex manual (Hans). For sure we will run into unforseen issues, come up with additional things and try to please users who have demands. There are 'hidden' features that will be revealed stepwise. An example of some usage will be posted next. The pragma-ade.com domain is still in transfer but the nl one should work fine. There is now also a https://www.luametatex.org that might be get some more than there is now (when i find it useful but best to have the domain for the ctx group).

What is going wrong with this use of --mode for switching language?
by Gerben Wierda 08 Jul '22

08 Jul '22

I have this minimal example: \definemode[EN,FR,RU,PT,EL][keep] \startmodeset [EN] {\disablemode[FR,RU,PT,EL]} [RU] {\disablemode[EN,FR,PT,EL]} [FR] {\disablemode[EN,RU,PT,EL]} [PT] {\disablemode[EN,FR,RU,EL]} [EL] {\disablemode[EN,FR,RU,PT]} [default] {\enablemode[EN]} \stopmodeset \startmode[EN] \setuplanguage[en][patterns={en}]\mainlanguage[en] \stopmode \startmode[RU] \setuplanguage[ru][patterns={ru}]\mainlanguage[ru] \stopmode \startmode[EL] \setuplanguage[el][patterns={el}]\mainlanguage[el] \stopmode \definelabelclass[phrase] \setupphrasetext[en][sheettitle={EN Core}] \setupphrasetext[ru][sheettitle={RU Ядро}] \setupphrasetext[el][sheettitle={EL AΒασικό}] \definefallbackfamily [archimate] [ss] [Helvetica] [preset=range:cyrillic, tf=style:light, it=style:lightoblique, bf=style:regular, bi=style:oblique, force=yes, rscale=1.0] \definefallbackfamily [archimate] [ss] [Helvetica] [preset=range:greek, tf=style:light, it=style:lightoblique, bf=style:regular, bi=style:oblique, force=yes] \definefontfamily [archimate] [ss] [Optima] \setupbodyfont[archimate] \starttext \phrasetext{sheettitle} \stoptext I run this with one of three modes: context --mode=EN --result=test-en test.tex context --mode=RU --result=test-ru test.tex context --mode=EL --result=test-el test.tex This works for EN, RU, but not for EL. When I run with “—mode=EL” I get EN. Why? I am either blind or something is wrong.

dorecurse within combination
by Henning Hraban Ramm 07 Jul '22

07 Jul '22

Hi, I’d like to place pages from a multipage PDF in a combination: \startcombination[3*1] \dorecurse{3}{% {\externalfigure[multipage][width=\textwidth/3,page=\recurselevel]}{} } \stopcombination That doesn’t work, because ConTeXt expects a { after \startcombination. (“A left brace was mandatory here, so I've put one in.”) I guess I need some expansion, but \expanded doesn’t help. How can I do this? Hraban

Fwd: Malfunctioning of syllabic partitioning of words in Spanish
by Joaquín Ataz López 07 Jul '22

-------- Mensaje reenviado -------- Asunto: Re: [NTG-context] Malfunctioning of syllabic partitioning of words in Spanish Fecha: Thu, 7 Jul 2022 08:26:49 +0200 De: Joaquín Ataz López <jal(a)um.es> Organización: Universidad de Murcia Para: Max Chernoff <mseven(a)telus.net> Thank you very much for the quick response. Indeed with the \language[es] command the syllable partitioning is correct. I had not included it because in the preamble of the document appears the instruction \mainlanguage[es]. After verifying that indeed the syllabic partitioning works well, I have been doing several tests to see why the \mainlanguage[es] command in the environment file was ignored. In the end I have come to the conclusion that this was because I had written in it \startenvironment instead of \startenvironment environment_name What I do not understand is why, when not putting the name of the environment some commands of this one are ignored, but others are executed.

Malfunctioning of syllabic partitioning of words in Spanish
by Joaquín Ataz López 06 Jul '22

06 Jul '22

I am writing a document in Spanish and I notice that the syllable partitioning of words does not conform to the rules of the language. And so, for example, the word "limitarse" is partitioned as "lim-itarse" (the correct one is "li-mi-tar-se"), "colores" as "col-ores" (instead of "co-lo-res"), "abstenerse" as "absten-erse" (and it should be "abs-te-ner-se"), etc. These are too many errors; moreover, given that the syllabic partitioning rules in Spanish are relatively simple. Is it possible that something has been changed in the Spanish language module? I do not know Lua and therefore I am not in a position to correct the corresponding module on my own, but I could synthesize the syllable partitioning rules for those who can, if they do not speak Spanish and need help in that field. -- Joaquín Ataz López Universidad de Murcia | jal(a)um.es

MetaPost cutdraw
by Henning Hraban Ramm 06 Jul '22

06 Jul '22

Hi, I’m trying to understand MetaPost better. I’d like to draw a fat line that’s cut at its end points. I learned, “cutdraw” should do the trick, but I get a parallelogram instead of a rectangle. What’s wrong? Hraban \startMPpage draw (0,20)--(20,20) withpen pensquare scaled 10; cutdraw (0,0)--(20,0) withpen pensquare scaled 10; % just to show start and end draw (0,-10)--(0,30); draw (20,-10)--(20,30); \stopMPpage

ConTeXt meeting: register now!
by Henning Hraban Ramm 06 Jul '22

06 Jul '22

Hi everyone, the early bird period for meeting registration went by mostly unnoticed, and I simply forgot to remind everyone to register. So we’ll extend “early bird” to end of this week, i.e. 10th of July. https://meeting.contextgarden.net/2022/ If you tried to register while the form didn’t work (around 1st of June), please try again. Also, I need to finish the CG journal ASAP – please hand in your articles (of last year’s talks or anything new) now! Looking forward to meeting you in Dreifelden! Hraban
