(again) wrong destination types?
by Pablo Rodriguez 06 Dec '23

06 Dec '23

Dear list, sorry for insisting, but this is important for my documents. I have the following sample: \setupinteraction[state=start, page=name, focus=standard] \starttext a\footnote{b} \stoptext If page is set to anything different than no in \setupinteractionscreen, focus=standard will not work (it will be used as focus=fit). Could anyone confirm the issue or explain me what I’m doing wrong? Many thanks for your help Pablo

multipage metapost output from ConTeXt
by Emanuel Han 04 Dec '23

04 Dec '23

How can I achieve multipage metapost output from ConTeXt? The result should be a multipage pdf. It contains just a metapost graphic per page. The graphic has always the same bounding box and evolves from page to page: Some elements to be drawn are added, and some others would ideally also be removed, while keeping elements which has already been drawn on previous pages. I can manage when it is not possible to remove elements (in that case I'll just cover them with a covering element). I saw that it is possible to achieve my goal with standalone metapost, as described here: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/471662/mptopdf-is-multipage-output-… But I'll need to achieve this with Metapost inside ConTeXt because I use labels in Metapost which print text in Japanese, Korean , Arabic and Roman script: Thanks to ConTeXt, I can define appropriate fonts for each script. All this works already in my working example. The only unsolved problem is to ship out multiple pages. For the minimal working example, I didn't remove the font defining part, because having 4 different fonts is a condition of my use case. The graphic on the other hand is some simple dummy nonsense graphic not from my project. The graphic is in the provided example drawn as a summing up of layered drawing steps (6 steps, to be precise), so no removing is implemented here (because I don't know how that would be done). If each of the figures 1 to 6 of my mwe can be put alone on a page, I'd be already very happy. Now, they're put on top of each other all on the same single page, also on top of figure 0. The desired multipage pdf will be used in presentation mode of a pdf viewer and skipped forward and backward from page to page (that is from drawing step to drawing step). mwe: \enableregime[utf] % enable unicoded input \definefontfamily [RomanFont] [rm] [calluna] \definefontfamily [KoreanFont] [rm] [applemyungjo] \definefontfamily [JapaneseFont] [rm] [hannotatesc] \definefontfeature [fea] [mode=node,language=dflt,script=arab, init=yes, medi=yes, fina=yes, isol=yes, calt=yes, rlig=yes, tlig=yes, trep=yes, curs=yes, kern=yes, mark=yes ] \starttypescript [serif] [notonaskharabic] \definefontsynonym [notonaskharabic-Light] [name:notonaskharabic] [features=fea] \definefontsynonym [notonaskharabic-Bold] [name:notonaskharabic] [features=fea] \definefontsynonym [notonaskharabic-Italic] [name:notonaskharabic] [features=fea] \definefontsynonym [notonaskharabic-Bold-Italic] [name:notonaskharabic] [features=fea] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [notonaskharabic] \usetypescript[serif][fallback] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [notonaskharabic-Light] [features=fea] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [notonaskharabic-Italic] [features=fea] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [notonaskharabic-Bold] [features=fea] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [notonaskharabic-Bold-Italic] [features=fea] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [notonaskharabic] \definetypeface [notonaskharabic] [rm] [serif] [notonaskharabic] [default] \stoptypescript \usetypescript[notonaskharabic] \setupbodyfont [RomanFont] \starttext \startMPcode picture p[]; path bb; %bounding box z0 = (0,0); z1 = (60,40); z2 = (40,90); z3 = (10,70); z4 = (30,50); z5 = (90,70); z6 = (-10,70); path A; A = z0..z1..z2..z3..z4 ; pair AStartPoint; AStartPoint = point 0 of A; pair AEndPoint; AEndPoint = point 4 of A; path B; B = z5..z6; pair BStartPoint; BStartPoint = point 0 of B; pair BEndPoint; BEndPoint = point 1 of B; path C; C = AStartPoint..AEndPoint; % drawing steps: p1:=image( draw A withcolor red; ); p2:=image( label(textext("\JapaneseFont 日本語"), AEndPoint); ); p3:=image( label(textext("\notonaskharabic \textdir TRT دانگ") scaled 1.2, AStartPoint); ); p4:=image( label(textext("\KoreanFont 한국어"), BStartPoint); ); p5:=image( label(textext("\RomanFont bāng"), BEndPoint); draw C withcolor green; ); p6:=image( draw B withcolor blue; ); beginfig(0); %% the whole picture for the common bbox for k=1 upto 6: draw p[k]; endfor bb:=bbox(currentpicture); endfig; for $=1 upto 6: beginfig($); for k=1 upto $: draw p[k]; endfor setbounds currentpicture to bb; endfig; endfor \stopMPcode \stoptext

I would like to change the width of the margins on the page. In the MWE here, the pagelayout does not seem to obey the \setuplayout command. Why are the margins shown uneffected by \setuplayout? yours sincerely dr. Hans van der Meer

unwanted blank page
by Hans van der Meer 03 Dec '23

03 Dec '23

I should have a first page without pagenumber and pagenumbers on the subsequent ones. However the MWE here introduces an unwanted blank page from the call to \setuppagenumbering[state=start]. And the \setuppagenumbering has to come after the \page, of course. Should I program otherwise? yours sincerely dr. Hans van der Meer % test pagenumbering start-stop \setuppapersize[A5][A5] \starttext \setuppagenumbering[state=stop] \ConTeXt\space\contextversion\blank This is page 1 without pagenumber.\crlf \page \setuppagenumbering[state=start] This should be a page with pagenumber 2.\crlf But the pagenumber is 3 instead after blank page 2. \stoptext

mathalignment; alignment of columns
by wolfgangbackes＠mail.de 28 Nov '23

28 Nov '23

Something as elementary as "mathenvironment" can't really be faulty, can it? According to my recent tests, a mathalignment environment does not seem to react (any more) to the values of the "align" option. The source code hab been rendered correctly a few years ago, Minimal example 1: \starttext \startformula \startmathalignment[n=2,align={left, right}] \NC always aligned to the right \NC = u + at, \NR \NC d \NC = ut + \frac12 at^2. \NR \stopmathalignment \stopformula \stoptext Despite "align={left, right}", the first column is aligned to the right and the second to the left. This does not change, no matter which values I assign to "align", for example align={middle, middle}. The align option is also ignored in the case of other column numbers., for example: \starttext \startformula \startmathalignment[n=1,align=left] \NC This single column should \NR \NC be left-aligned, \NR \NC but it is centered. \NR \stopmathalignment \stopformula \stoptext What am I missing here? Where is my mistake? Regards Wolfgang

Converting XHTML captions to ConTeXt captions
by Thangalin 26 Nov '23

26 Nov '23

I'd like to capture a caption and apply it to the block-level element that immediately follows. In the MWE, is there a more "ConTeXt way" to accomplish the task of adding captions to tables, figures, blockquotes, etc? % SOT \startbuffer[demo] <body> <p><span class="caption">Caption 1 <a data-type="tbl" name="lbl-1"/></span></p> <table>table 1 with caption</table> <table>table 2 without caption</table> <p><span class="caption">Caption 3 <a data-type="tbl" name="lbl-2"/></span></p> <table>table 3 with caption</table> </body> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups xml:demo \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{*}{-} \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{a|p|body|table}{xml:*} \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{span[@class='caption']}{xml:span} \define\CaptionText{} \define\AnchorXref{} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:span \define\CaptionText{\xmlflush{#1}} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:a \define\AnchorXref{\xmlatt{#1}{data-type}-\xmlatt{#1}{name}} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:body \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:p \xmlflush{#1}\par \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:table \blank \doifelsetext{\CaptionText}{% \startplacetable[ title={\ignorespaces\CaptionText{}\removeunwantedspaces.}, reference={\AnchorXref} ] \define\CaptionText{} \define\AnchorXref{} }{ \startplacetable } \startembeddedxtable \startxtablebody[body] \startxrow \startxcell \xmlflush{#1} \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtablebody \stopembeddedxtable \stopplacetable \blank \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:demo} \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{demo}{demo}{} \stoptext % EOT
