Double Lines
by Ursula Hermann 02 Jan '23

02 Jan '23

Dear List, The following example is from the mailing list: I would like to have double vertical Lines with $\Vert instead of \VL, and also \HL. How can I do this with an Math Modus? \setupcolors[state=start] \starttext \null\vskip15ex \hskip1em\framed[orientation=90,frame=off]{\bf Region}\blank\vskip-25.5ex \starttable[|c|l|r|r|r|r|r|r|r|] \DC \DC \DL[7] \DR \NC \NC \VL \use{7}\ReFormat[cB]{Years} \VL \AR \DC \DC \DL[7] \DR \NC \NC \VL \ReFormat[cB]{$<1$} \VL \ReFormat[cB]{$1-2$} \VL \ReFormat[cB]{$3-4$} \VL \ReFormat[cB]{$5-9$} \VL \ReFormat[cB]{$10-14$} \VL \ReFormat[cB]{$15+$} \VL \ReFormat[cB]{Total} \VL \AR \HL % \VL \offset[y=8ex]{\framed[orientation=90,frame=off]{\bf Region}} \VL East \VL 32 \VL 54 \VL 59 \VL 112 \VL 77 \VL 118 \VL 452 \VL \AR \VL \null\hskip2em\null \VL {\bf East} \VL 32 \VL 54 \VL 59 \VL 112 \VL 77 \VL 118 \VL 452 \VL \AR \VL \VL {\bf Midwest} \VL 31 \VL 68 \VL 68 \VL 120 \VL 63 \VL 173 \VL 523 \VL \AR \VL \VL {\bf South} \VL 53 \VL 92 \VL 93 \VL 158 \VL 106 \VL 158 \VL 660 \VL \AR \VL \VL {\bf West} \VL 41 \VL 56 \VL 67 \VL 78 \VL 45 \VL 86 \VL 373 \VL \AR \DC \DL[8] \DR \VL \VL {\bf Total} \VL 157 \VL 270 \VL 287 \VL 468 \VL 291 \VL 535 \VL 2008 \VL \AR \HL \stoptable \stoptext Many Thanks Uschi

Ajami script

I just read this: https://www.bu.edu/articles/2022/fallou-ngom-discovers-ajami-african-writin… And now I’d like to know if ConTeXt is capable of typesetting this variant of Arabic. (Just out of curiosity, I can’t read any Arabic and don’t know any African language.) Hraban

numbering questions
by Henning Hraban Ramm 01 Jan '23

01 Jan '23

A happy new year to everyone! I’m playing with some examples of section numbering. * Is there a setup to influence the order of number segments? I.e. can I have “section.chapter.part“ instead of “part.chapter.section”? * How can I format the segments, e.g. to get two or three digits each (leading zeros)? * I can force a section number with “ownnumber”, but the next one is back in the previous scheme. Itemize has “start”. How can I start section chapter numbering at 3 (or -1 or whatever; I know I can start at 0 with “zero”) and let ConTeXt continue from there? My example tries to (ab)use the section numbering for a date (e.g. for a diary): ----- \definestructureconversionset[default][n,n,month,n][n] \definestructureseparatorset [default][-,-,-,-] \definehead[Year][chapter] \definehead[Month][section] \definehead[Day][subsection] \define[2]\TitleCmd{#1} % number only \setuphead[Year,Month,Day][number=yes,page=no,command=\TitleCmd] \setuphead[Year][page=yes] %\setuphead[Month][] \setuphead[Day][style={\ss\bf}] \def\Dummycontent{ \dorecurse{12}{ \startMonth New Month. \dorecurse{5}{ \startDay Another day. \stopDay } \stopMonth }} \starttext \startYear[ownnumber=2023,title=This] A new year begins. \Dummycontent \stopYear \startYear Next year. \Dummycontent \stopYear \stoptext ----- Hraban

issue with font
by Pablo Rodriguez 01 Jan '23

Hans, I have the following sample. \starttext \definedfont[TruetypewriterPolyglott-mELa.ttf] \input zapf \stoptext I get a fatal error in the font file (both LMTX and MkIV). Font is https://www.fontspace.com/truetypewriter-polyglott-font-f14955 (direct donwnload from https://www.fontspace.com/get/family/zmmx1) I don’t know what is wrong in the font, but it would be great to be able to use it with ConTeXt. Many thanks for your help, Pablo
