usage of conversion in \date
by Peter Münster 18 Dec '23

18 Dec '23

Hi, When printing a date in French, I would like to convert the "1" to "1\ier", but it does not work as I expect: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- \startluacode -- from https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/defineconversion: interfaces.implement { name = "FRdate", public = true, arguments = "string", actions = function(s) local n = tonumber(s) if n == 1 then context"1\\ier" else context(s) end end } \stopluacode \def\ier{\highordinalstr{er}} \mainlanguage[fr] \defineconversion[frd][\FRdate] \setuplanguage[fr][date={day:frd,\ ,month,\ ,year}] \starttext Conversion: \convertnumber{frd}{1}, \convertnumber{frd}{2} (OK)\\ Dates: \date[d=1], \date[d=2] (not OK) \stoptext --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- How could I get "1\ier\ novembre 2023" please? TIA for any help, -- Peter

Problem with the paragraph
by Ursula Hermann 18 Dec '23

18 Dec '23

Dear list, I have this example. I need the whole paragraph in color. But there is something wrong. \definepapersize[MyBook][width=19cm,height=24cm] \setuppapersize[MyBook][MyBook] % Prints on paper the size of MyBook %\setuppapersize[MyBook][A4] %Would print MyBook-size pages on A4 paper \setupbodyfont[Times New Roman, 12.2pt] \definemargindata [MyInMargin][inright] \definemarginframed[MyInMargin][topframe=on,bottomframe=on,rulethickness=1pt,width=1.90cm] \defineenumeration [theorem] [ text=Theorem, title=yes, width=fit, distance=0.2em, alternative=serried, ] \definetextbackground[paragraph][ location=paragraph, background=color, backgroundcolor=lightgray, leftoffset=.5\bodyfontsize, rightoffset=.5\bodyfontsize, topoffset=.5\bodyfontsize, bottomoffset=.5\bodyfontsize, before={\switchtobodyfont[global]}, after={}, frame=off,] \margintext{\blackrule[color=black, height=0.10ex, width=1cm]\\}\blackrule[color=black, height=0.10ex, width=13.50cm] \starttext \margintext {1.1.1} \starttext \bf{Beispiel 3.2.17 (Vertauschung von All- und Existenzquantor)}. \stoptext \starttext {\it \par Sei M die Menge aller Männer und F die Menge aller Frauen. Die Aus-\par sage h(m, f) sei ”m ist verliebt in f“. Unter diesen Voraussetzungen machen Sie sich die Bedeutung der beiden Aussagen klar. \stoptext \par \starttext 1. \m\forall m ∈ M : ∃f ∈ F : h(m, f).\par 2. ∃f ∈ F : ∀m ∈ M : h(m, f).\par \stoptext \blank \starttext \startparagraph \blank \tf Mitunter ist es aus der Formulierung nur schwer zu erkennen, dass ein \m ∃\forall∀ oder ein \m \forall∀\m∃ versteckt ist. Dann ist es besonders wichtig, die Formulierung sehr lange zu prüfen und eventuell auch formalisiert noch einmal aufzuschreiben.”\blank Der Wert von y = f(x) ist unabhängig von der Wahl\par von x“ ist gleichbedeutend mit ∃y : ∀x : f(x) = y \par (Beutelspacher [10, S.54]). \blank \stopparagraph \stoptext Many thanks Uschi

by Oliver Marugg 17 Dec '23

17 Dec '23

Hi I am quite new with ConTeXt, coming from LaTeX. I really like it and it is sooo fast;-). I am currently preparing the framework for the typeset of a research paper with a bibtex bibliography and current apa7 citations. How to achieve a change the url in bibliographies DOI from doi: to https://doi.org/ in the list of publications and change the url path in PDF from http: to https:// as recommended in APA7? Any hints? Many thanks, Oliver

How to input first n lines from file?
by Joel 16 Dec '23

16 Dec '23

With the command `\input file`, I can input the entire contents of `file.tex`. Is there a way to limit it to the first n lines, for instance, something like `\input[10]` file would only input the first 10 lines from `file.tex` and ignore the rest of the lines. --Joel

LMTX: Command handling, Interface between TeX and Lua
by Gerion Entrup 14 Dec '23

14 Dec '23

Hi, I'd like to understand more of the inner workings of LMTX. When I understand it right, most of the code is now processed in Lua but I was not able to find it. For example, I tried to find out how setupitemgroup is handled (just as an example of a more complex command). The wiki has a (kind of) autogenerated description: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupitemgroup I found the data for this (at least this is my guess) here: tex/texmf-context/tex/context/interface/mkiv/i-itemgroup.xml Are these xml files created by hand or somehow generated? Now, when I use `\setupitemgroup[itemize:1][symbol=3,itemalign=middle]`: How are the arguments handled and is this a generic process or specific to each command? Is there a simple way to define a new command/environment and handle the keyword arguments in Lua? For example defining a frontend command like this: \startsomething[firstword={Some},secondword={Text}] Body \stopsomething which I can handle in some lua code like this: function something(firstword, secondword, body) tex.print(firstword) tex.print(secondword) tex.print(body) end Are there any resources beside the context code itself where I can learn that?

Score sums and references

13 Dec '23

Hi, dear list. Is there a proper "ConTeXt way" to do the following? \integerdef\lmao=0 \starttext Sum: \in[trick] % 10 from the result below +1\advance\lmao\plusone +2\advance\lmao\plustwo +3\advance\lmao\plusthree +4\advance\lmao\plusfour \normalexpanded{\reference[trick]{\the\lmao}} % 10 printed above \stoptext I want the result of a sum (either via Lua or TeX) to be printed before summands in text, but without the mess of reference options such as interaction, etc. Thank you in advance and sorry for any inconvenience. Regards, Jairo
