placing \externalfigure
by Hans van der Meer 12 Nov '23

12 Nov '23

In placing \externalfigure[file] I observe the figure is placed with its bottom on the baseline, thus: [externalfigure] --------------------------- baseline I looked into the option list of setupexternalfigure but could not find one whereby the location with respect to the baseline is either top, bottom or center. Such an option might not exist and then I must program around it. But I prefer to use something that is already there and fits my needs. yours sincerely dr. Hans van der Meer

how can I do this in CLD
by Henning Hraban Ramm 08 Nov '23

08 Nov '23

Hi, I’m generating some code in a loop and would like to use formatting like \quotation or \emph in a caption: context.startplacefigure({title = "Style " .. context.quotation(style)}) That doesn’t work. I guess context.quotation is executed immediately and doesn’t return anything? How can I do this? Hraban

Wiki problem - labels missing from the main diagram on the Page Layout page
by Bruce Horrocks 08 Nov '23

08 Nov '23

When I go to the page layout page on the Contextgarden wiki <https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Page_Layout> the "typesetting areas" diagram is missing its text labels. If I click on the diagram the Wiki takes me to the underlying layout.svg file and then I /do/ see the labels. This happens in both Safari and Firefox. Any suggestions as to what needs to be changed to get the diagram to display correctly? — Bruce Horrocks Hampshire, UK

regular online mett-up
by Henning Hraban Ramm 08 Nov '23

08 Nov '23

You’re invited to join on Wednesday, November 8th, 19:00 CET (UTC+1) at https://lecture.senfcall.de/hen-rbr-rku-oke (same, but shorter: https://u.mtxrun.eu/ctxmtg) ConTeXt users of all levels are welcome! There will be no online meeting in September, since we’ll meet in Sibřina in person. And let’s discuss there (or here) if we should move the date. CU soon! (Same blurb as every time:) [Howto] * No special software installation required; most modern browsers should work (WebRTC required). * Open the above URL, accept the privacy statement, * enter your name, * click "join" (or "start" if you’re the first), * click "with microphone", allow your browser to access it, check the audio. * Your microphone is muted if you join. Activate microphone and/or camera with the buttons at the bottom. * Minimize the default presentation with the "screen" button, bottom right. * If you’d like to share your screen or upload a file, you can make yourself the presenter: Click on your user name, change the setting, then you’ll see the "screen sharing" button beside the camera button; also there’s now "manage presentations" behind the "plus" button. Beware there is only one presenter at a time, so don’t kill someone else’s presentation. [Technical hints] * Sound is usually better if you use a headset (less noise for everyone). * Connection problems are mostly due to low bandwidth or high latency on your side, e.g. with mobile connections. * If audio/video doesn’t work for you, you can still use the text chat. * Screen sharing needs a lot of bandwidth. * BigBlueButton documentation applies: https://bigbluebutton.org/teachers/tutorials/ [Netiquette] * Please use a name that we recognize from here. Some feel uncomfortable with anonymous lurkers. * Mute your microphone while you’re not talking. * It’s nice to show your face at least when you join. * If there are connection problems, stop camera sharing. * The room is set to “everyone’s a moderator“, I trust you... See you, Hraban

A possible reason for this is that the use of xlink:href, the attribute used to render the text glyphs created by symbol elements in https://wiki.contextgarden.net/images/5/54/layout.svg, has been deprecated since SVG 2.0, as you can see in https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Attribute/xlink:href Instead, as the article recommends, just href should be used instead, and the xlink:href attribute can be preserved as a fallback for (very) old browsers. -- Andrés Conrado Montoya Andi Kú andresconrado(a)gmail.com http://sesentaycuatro.com http://messier87.com http://chiquitico.org ---------------------------------------- Los fines no justifican los medios, porque la medida verdadera de nuestro carácter está dada por los medios que estamos dispuestos a utilizar, no por los fines que proclamamos. ---------------------------------------- “You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it.

Hi, I'm new to ConTeXt and try to use the module typearea (https://modules.contextgarden.net/cgi-bin/module.cgi/action=find/name=typea…) But the example doesn't work: \usemodule[typearea] \setupTypeArea[bcor=0mm,alphabets=3.1] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \starttext \dorecurse4{\framed[width=\textwidth,height=\textheight]{test}\page} \stoptext I got: texmf-dist/tex/context/third/typearea/t-typearea.tex' loading > Something like KOMA-TypeArea tex error > tex error on line 89 in file /usr/local/texlive/2023/texmf-dist/tex/context/third/typearea/t-typearea.tex: Missing number, treated as zero <to be read again> { <macro> \TA@alphabets \par \PageWidth =\dimexpr \paperwidth -\TA@bcor \relax \par \edef \Ratio {\withoutpt { \the \dimexpr 2\paperheight /(\PageWidth /32768)\relax }} \par \setbox \scratchbox \hbox {\dorecurse {26}{\character \recurselevel }} \Width =\dimexpr \TA@alphabet <line 5.89> \setupTypeArea[bcor=0pt,oneside=no,alphabets=2.6] 79 height=\the\Height, 80 width=\the\Width, 81 header=2\lineheight, 82 headerdistance=\lineheight, 83 footer=2\lineheight, 84 footerdistance=3\lineheight, 85 topspace=\Top] 86 } 87 \protect 88 89 >> \setupTypeArea[bcor=0pt,oneside=no,alphabets=2.6] 90 91 \doifnotmode{demo}{\endinput} 92 93 %D Usage example: 94 \usemodule[typearea] 95 \setupTypeArea[bcor=0mm,alphabets=3.1] 96 \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] 97 \starttext 98 \dorecurse4{\framed[width=\textwidth,height=\textheight]{test}\page} 99 \stoptext A number should have been here; I inserted '0'. (If you can't figure out why I needed to see a number, look up 'weird error' in the index to The TeXbook.) mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 1 Line 89 in the module should be the problem. But how can I solve it? I think some lines in the module should be commented out. (An example directly in the module?) I thank you for any hint. Greetings Thomas
