Nested itemize
by Alexandre Christe 22 Aug '23

22 Aug '23

Dear all, I'm struggling to setup a nested itemize with no blank line and several columns. What I mean is something like 1. a) bla c) bla b) bla d) bla The following MWE is my starting point \starttext \startitemize[n] \item \blank[-line] \startitemize[a,horizontal,two] [margin=2cm] \item First \item Second \item Third \item Fourth \stopitemize \item \blank[-line] \startitemize[a,horizontal,columns,two] \item First \item Second \item Third \item Fourth \stopitemize \stopitemize \stoptext Thanks in advance

new uplaod
by Hans Hagen 17 Apr '23

17 Apr '23

Hi, I uploaded a new lmtx. Again some updated math of which details will be revealed later. Apart from some details we added suport for fourier notations. There are no high level definitions yet as we have to invent names but this is how it works (private unicode slots might change): \setupbodyfont[pagella] \starttext \setupmathdelimited [topoffset=.2\exheight] \definemathdelimited [fourier] [rule=no, left=\zerocount, right="FE944] \definemathdelimited [courier] [rule=no, left=\zerocount, right="FE946] \definemathdelimited [xourier] [rule=no, left=\zerocount, right="FE948] $ \fourier{(z+1)} $ $ \fourier{(z+1)} + \sqrt[2]{1}$ $ \fourier{(z+1)} + \courier{(z+1)} + \xourier{(z+1)} $ $ \fourier{\left(z+\frac12\right)} + \courier{\left(z+\frac12\right)} + \xourier{\left(z+\frac12\right)} $ $ \autofences \fourier{(z+\frac12)} + \courier{(z+\frac12)} + \xourier{(z+\frac12)} $ $ \widehat{x^2 + 2x + 2} $ \stoptext This example also shows a new \autofences feature and widehats (widetilde and widecheck also work that way) that overcome limitations in fonts, so \def\CrappyHack#1{\im{#1{a} + #1{a+b} + #1{a+b+c} + #1{a+b+c+d} + #1{a+b+c+d+e} + #1{a+b+c+d+e+f}}\par} \CrappyHack\widehat \CrappyHack\widetilde \CrappyHack\wideacute \CrappyHack\widecheck will work. For thise in finance we now have $ \annuity{x + 1} + \lannuity{x + 1} + \rannuity{x + 1} + \lrannuity{x + 1} $ these are basically radicals (like sqrt) with two sided symbols.

Convertnumber with \ref[number] fails in MkIV, works in LMTX
by Rik Kabel 06 Dec '22

06 Dec '22

Hello list, The following fails with ConTeXt ver: 2021.10.24 21:45 MKIV but works with the companion LMTX. The error message is:tex error > tex error on line 6 in file G:/TestConTeXt/convert.tex: ! Incompatible glue units , pointing to the second \convertnumber line. \definelabel[XX]%[text=,before=,after=,alternative=inright] \startTEXpage[offset=2em] abc\XX[xx]\par \ref[number][xx] · \convertnumber{r}{1} · \convertnumber{R}{\ref[number][xx]} \stopTEXpage In this case I am trying to display with roman numerals the number generated in the label created through \definelabel. Suggestions welcomed. -- Rik

Suboptimal German hyphenation
by Leah Neukirchen 31 Oct '22

31 Oct '22

Hi, I was typesetting some German text on a narrow page when I discovered the justification wasn't as good as expected. I think I tracked this down to differences in hyphenation points, namely, ConTeXt has fewer: \starttext \language[de] \showhyphens{Zusammenhang} \showhyphens{anderswo} \showhyphens{anderswoher} \stoptext This shows languages > hyphenation > show: Zusam[-||]men[-||]hang languages > hyphenation > show: anderswo languages > hyphenation > show: anders[-||]wo[-||]her Now with LaTeX and Babel: \documentclass{article} \usepackage[ngerman]{babel} \begin{document} \showhyphens{Zusammenhang} \showhyphens{anderswo} \showhyphens{anderswoher} \end{document} This shows [] \TU/lmr/m/n/10 Zu-sam-men-hang [] \TU/lmr/m/n/10 an-ders-wo [] \TU/lmr/m/n/10 an-ders-wo-her The LaTeX hyphenation points agree with the German Duden dictionary. As none of the words use more than 7-bit ASCII, I think newer pattern changes are not related. Curiously, the same effect already appears with MKII and MKIV from TeXLive 2014, the oldest I had around. I'm also surprised 'anders-wo-her' gets hyphenated but 'anderswo' is not hyphenated at all. I could not reproduce a difference with English words so far. Any ideas? As far as I understand, MKIV/LMTX should use the de-hyph-1996 patterns which LuaLaTeX uses these days too, via hyph-utf8. Thanks, -- Leah Neukirchen <leah(a)vuxu.org> https://leahneukirchen.org/

Hyphenation in multi-language projects
by Steffen Wolfrum 24 Oct '22

24 Oct '22

Hi, please have a look at this minimal example. The idea is to set the hyphenation for certain words regardless of the language that is used in the surrounding paragraphs. In this example it should stay: «steff-en» How do i set this to all non-english paragraphs (without using \hyphenation on each language-switch)? Best, Steffen — \starttext \setuppapersize[A6][A6] \mainlanguage[en] \startexceptions steff-en \stopexceptions english text english text english teste: steffen \start\language[it] italian text italian text italian teste: steffen \stop \start\language[it]\hyphenation{steff-en} italian text italian text italian teste: steffen \stop \stoptext

TeXGyre Heros on Firefox
by juh 19 Oct '22

19 Oct '22

Dear all, there were some discussions on pdf viewers on the list and I know that things are not always fine. I now have a problems with the Firefox pdf viewer and TeX Gyre Heros. The font looks uneven in FF, no problems elsewhere. When I scroll into the pdf to set the display to 150% or more the font shows up just fine. So it seems to be a display problems with firefox. I tried several pdf versions no change. My configuration: \definefontfamily[mainfont][serif][texgyreheros] \definefontfamily[mainfont][sans] [textgyreheros] \definefontfamily[mainfont][mono] [texgyrecursor][features=none] \definefontfamily[mainfont][math] [texgyrepagellamath] \definefallbackfamily [mainfont] [rm] [Latin Modern Math] [scale=0.925, range=0x22C0] \definefontfeature[smallcaps][script=latn, protrusion=quality, expansion=quality, smcp=yes, onum=yes, pnum=yes] \setupalign[hz,hanging] \setupitaliccorrection[global, always] Is there anything I can do? And the is another issue: To my big surprise ArialBold MT is included into the file. I am using the current lmtx. If you want to see the effect, download the pdf. https://www.hostsharing.net/publikationen/vereinshandbuch/ Just click on "Anonym herunterladen" no need to register.

lmt_outline not rendering properly
by Jacob Kauffmann 14 Oct '22

14 Oct '22

Dear list, attached is an example taken from the luametafun manual. The letter o looks odd. When I compile the manual the examples in section 4 look also bad (different font; page 10 attached). It seems like the paths miss one point. This is with the latest version 2022.09.11 20:44. Cheers, Jacob

TOC colors and in-page anchors
by Sylvain Hubert 11 Oct '22

11 Oct '22

Dear list, \usemodule[ipsum] \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext \completecontent \section{s1}\ipsum \section{s2}\ipsum \section{s3}\ipsum \section{s4}\ipsum \section{s5}\ipsum \section{s6}\ipsum \stoptext In the table of contents, s1 and s2 (at page 1) are rendered in red, while others in green. Moreover, when I click s4, it jumps to page 2 without locating the section precisely within the page. This is not the case when using the latex hyperref package. Does anyone know how to make the colors uniform and the links precise? Any help is appreciated. Sylvain
