math symbols
by Hans Hagen 05 Aug '22

05 Aug '22

Hi, We're curious what math symbols users actually use. There are for instance all kind of variations on '<' and '>' and the quesiton is: how should we group them and are they used differently in different contexts. Traditionally tex sort of groups according to spacing related classes but we are (1) mor egranular than that and (2) like to organize symbols (and related commands) into meaning related groups. The fact that for instance mathml and openmath only groups a small selection is kind of puzzling because it means that only a handful is considered useful while on the other han dwe have plenty in unicode and fonts (of course multiple usage and overloads complicate matters). We'd like to sort out some of the mess that the tex community accumulated over decades and are not that bound to conventions, more to a well organized whole, 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

issue with lpath
by Pablo Rodriguez 05 Aug '22

05 Aug '22

Dear list, I have this sample: \startbuffer[demo] <xml> <div class="section level3"> <h3>One</h3> <p>Standard paragraph</p> <blockquote> <p>Quoted text</p> </blockquote> </div> <div class="section level3"> <h3>Two</h3> <blockquote> <p>Direct quote</p> </blockquote> </div> </xml> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups xml:initialize \xmlsetsetup{#1} {p|blockquote} {xml:*} \xmlsetsetup{#1} {(div|section)[contains(@class,'level3')]/h3/../!p/../h3} {xml:section} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:initialize} \startxmlsetups xml:p \startpar\xmlflush{#1}\stoppar \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:blockquote \startblockquote\xmlflush{#1}\stopblockquote \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:section \section{\xmlflush{#1}} \stopxmlsetups \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{demo}{} \stoptext I need an lpath to select the h3 node above, but only the one with "h3 + blockquote" as a CSS selector (which could be added the lpath "../h3" after). It would be "<h3>Two</h3>" and not "<h3>Two</h3>" in this sample. Excuse my ignorance, but which is the way to achieve this? Many thanks for your help, Pablo

understanding mtxrun --generate
by Henning Hraban Ramm 05 Aug '22

05 Aug '22

Hi, this is not related to the current version of LMTX: When I run install.sh, the file database is regenerated. But in a different terminal window, "context" is not found, even if I run "mtxrun --generate" in the install window again, it works only, if I run this in another terminal window (and then it works for all my open windows). I couldn’t find out yet why. Do you experience the same, and what is the reason? Hraban

lmtx and \prime ?
by Michael Urban 04 Aug '22

04 Aug '22

I get a different result for mkiv and lmtx for the following input: \starttext Even now, a six footer is two standard deviations from the mean. Remember, 5\prime{}7\prime\prime{} is 50th percentile today for a 15 year old. \stoptext With mkiv, the prime marks for inches and feet are where I expect them; in lmtx, they are placed almost to the baseline. Wrong lmtx, or user error? Mike

ConTeXt meeting 2022 – please register!
by Henning Hraban Ramm 04 Aug '22

04 Aug '22

Hi folks & friends, I’d like to remind you to register for the current ConTeXt meeting (September 12–18 in Germany), we must close registration in about two weeks, and my list is still rather short. https://meeting.contextgarden.net/2022/ If you registered early and got only an error message from the form, please register again. And please don’t think you could avoid a registration because everyone knows you’ll come (except Hans). Otherwise it’s normal that you got no response from me (sorry!). We have no Covid restrictions in Germany any more, even if the incidences are high, except that you must wear a mask in trains and are asked to in some other places. I’d ask you to test yourself before traveling. It would be nice if you would register also for online attendance, just for my information. Since the regular online meetup would be during the conference, we will drop that. Looking forward to seeing you soon, Hraban

bibliography problem
by Henning Hraban Ramm 03 Aug '22

03 Aug '22

Hi, Denis’ article in the CG journal uses the publications module with a .bib database. With ConTeXt LMTX 2022.05.11 all was well, with the current version (2022.07.27) it can’t find the entries of the database: open source > level 2, order 20, name 'dm-ligatures/dm-ligatures.tex' publications > adding bib data to set 'dmlig' from source 'dm-ligatures/references.bib' interface > macros > processed mkvi file '/Users/hraban/lmtx/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/publ-imp-apa.mkvi', delta 94 interface > macros > processed mkvi file '/Users/hraban/lmtx/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/publ-imp-apa.mkvi', delta 0 open source > level 3, order 21, name '/Users/hraban/lmtx/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/publ-imp-apa.mkvi' close source > level 3, order 21, name '/Users/hraban/lmtx/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/publ-imp-apa.mkvi' structures > bookmark: Automatic suppression of unwanted ligatures — Denis Maier structure > sectioning > part @ level 1 : 1 -> Automatic suppression of unwanted ligatures\doifsomething {Denis Maier}{ —\ }\IndexAuthor Denis Maier structures > bookmark: Introduction structure > sectioning > section @ level 3 : 1.0.1 -> Introduction fonts > defining > unable to define 'IBMPlexSansHebrew-regular' as 'dummy--5' publications > analyzing previous publication run for 'dmlig' publications > no entry 'taraborelli:beauty' found in dataset 'dmlig' publications > no entry 'knuth:texbook' found in dataset 'dmlig' publications > no entry 'duden' found in dataset 'dmlig' publications > no entry 'detailtypografie' found in dataset 'dmlig' publications > no entry 'butterick:practical-typography-ligatures' found in dataset 'dmlig' publications > no entry 'bringhurst:style' found in dataset 'dmlig' publications > no entry 'rafaeli:book-typography' found in dataset 'dmlig' But the entries do exist in the bib file, and a minimal example works. In both cases, the setup looks like: \usebtxdataset[dmlig][dm-ligatures/references.bib] \setupbtx[dataset=dmlig] \usebtxdefinitions[apa] \setupbtx[apa:cite][alternative=num] I don’t know what to look for. Any hints? Hraban

What exactly is lpath?
by denis.maier＠unibe.ch 03 Aug '22

03 Aug '22

Hi everyone Just a question I've been thinking about from time to time: What exactly is lpath? Is that ConTeXt-specific? Or something more general from Lua? I've of course asked Google, but Lpath seems to a Python-inspired path library for Lua unrelated to XML...

Forbid footnotes from splitting across pages
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 03 Aug '22

03 Aug '22

Dear gang, Objectives: i) Prevent footnotes from splitting across a page or pagebreak ii) Make sure that the footnote reference number in the main text is always on the same page as the footnote. Yes, the result may not be pretty, but for some manuscript submissions it will make sense. In the attached MWE (copied below), footnote 3 gets split across the page, despite [split=verystrict]. Indeed, split=verystrict seems to do nothing. (Reproducing case ii) is more difficult.) Thank you in advance for your help. ============== % \setupalign[flushleft,nothyphenated] \setupnote[footnote][split=verystrict] % \setupnotation[footnote][split=verystrict] \starttext \input ward\ \startfootnote \input knuth \stopfootnote{} \dorecurse{3}{\input ward\ } \startfootnote \input knuth \stopfootnote{} \dorecurse{2}{\input ward\ } \startfootnote \input knuth \stopfootnote{} \dorecurse{3}{\input ward\ } \startfootnote \input knuth \stopfootnote{} \stoptext ============== Best wishes Idris -- Idris Samawi Hamid, Professor Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80512
