Trial to use LibreOffice Calc (+ python) to build ConTeXt customized environnements files
by Garulfo 10 Apr '23

10 Apr '23

Hi all, I started an attempt to help producing customized environnements files with LibreOffice Calc and macro with python, to see if and how it can helps newcomers (after viewing video about batch commander from Ricardo Lafuente and Kaveh Bazargan). It is very early stage (and very quick and dirty), but any feedback is welcome. ================================================================= Currently working: - one sheet to setup colors ==> env_A05_color.tex - after clicking on button Go!, colors are actually shown deduced from hsv parameter - one sheet to setup sectionning ==> env_B14_section.tex - Options are categorized - 01-Style - 02-Numbering - 03-Position (not yet clear) - 04-Insert - 05-Reference - 06-commands - one sheet to setup layout ==> env_A01_layout.tex - one sheet to setup font ==> env_A04_fonts.tex - thanks to mtxrun --script font it provides - the list of available font families - after 1st clic on fonts button - the list of available font names - after selecting families and 2nd clic on fonts button - it can help to produce simple typescripts in 1min ================================================================= Package can be found at https://wiki.contextgarden.net/images/7/73/SetupContext_with_libreoffice_v0… 4 files 1/ SetupContext_with_libreoffice.py ----------------------- Python file that should be put in - gnu+linux : ~/.config/libreoffice/4/user/Scripts/python - win : C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Roaming\OpenOffice\4\user\Scripts\python - mac : /Applications//LibreOffice\ Vanilla.app/Contents/Resources/Scripts/python/ def Initialization(): should be adapted for ContextPath = "path to …/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/" 2/ readme.tex ---------------------------------------------------- Basic document with content and ref to global environnement file 3/ env_00.tex ---------------------------------------------------- environnement file that refers to other specific environnement files which are produced by the macro 4/ gui_v04.ods ---------------------------------------------------- LibreOffice Calc as interface for user ================================================================= examples of output env files are attached.

Hi, I try to use the Noto Sans Math fnt which can be downloaded from https://fonts.google.com/noto/specimen/Noto+Sans+Math But I use it like the following \definefontfamily[myfonts][rm][latin modern roman] \definefontfamily[myfonts][mm][noto sans math] \setupbodyfont[myfonts,rm,12pt] \starttext Test Noto Sasn Math Fonts \startformula a^2 \quad \sqrt{a} \stopformula \stoptext I get the errors `Math error: parameter 'supshiftup' with id 51 in style 0 is not set'. Is there some method to solve it? -- Best regards, Li Yanrui

Is LuaLaTeX behaving the same way? Answer: no. The permission denied message happened first with folders whose permeissions were not owned by the user, but the root, so I moved the files out of harm's way to another folder . Anothr folder, NOT a subfolder. Then the problem persisted to read folders and even subfolders (directories, subdirectories) with cache filenames and headers that follow So let's not get to apprehensive, It's understandable that say, not reasonable, but understandable maybe? that mtxrun or lua for that matter will stop right before. So the folders were moved right after. Gone out of the binaries. But what I can't understand is why would it try to access cache folders unrelated with anything TeX or header folders for that matter???? This is perhaps more serious than I thought at first. And Let's not blame the TeXLive pre-packaged running under Alpine Linux. To put it in laymans' terms and If anything is clear to me, is that Alpine ir not letting Lua running beserk on the system and its folders, owned by whatever/whoever else, and with pesmissions set elsewhere. It's out of the question. Or it rather be. This is all writh a fresh TeX Live Installation. I mentioned the problem that may arise by questioning the Alpine installation because there were some problems with some binaries from the prepackaged TeX Live put out by Alpine devs. But this is not prepackaged. Nope. -- "We are on the verge: Today our program proved Fermat's next-to-last theorem." -- Epigrams in Programming, ACM SIGPLAN Sept. 1982

English-Vietnamese facing pages
by jbf 03 Apr '23

03 Apr '23

Am always up for a challenge, but hope this one is not beyond my possibilities! Have a request to produce a book with English-Vietnamese facing pages. The text doesn't have to be strictly in sync, but generally so. The only ConTeXt guidelines I think I have at the moment are (1) an old module called m-streams (which I am assuming is now obsolete), and (2) an exchange of emails on this list over a decade about bilingual typesetting. It won't bother me too much if I have to tell the intending author and his editor that this might be beyond me, but before taking that stance, I have a couple of simple questions that someone might be able to respond to. And, BTW, the Vietnamese font is not the problem. Tex Gyre Pagella seems to be able to cope with that at least! Q 1: Has anybody reading this actually produced a bilingual book (it doesn't have to be en-vn) with ConTeXt? And if so would you be prepared to offer me some basic guidelines? Q 2: There is some guidance from Wolfgang on https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Columns towards the end of that page. I tried two or three pages of the first chapter of the book, placing English in outputstream[one] and the Vietnamese in outputstream[two] and kind of got a suitable result except that the last paragraph of both languages ended up BEFORE the chapter began. No idea why. The rest seemed okay. So my question is whether or not Wolfgang's sample (where he says 'a simple example but I had to write the splitter myself') would be sufficient for me to put the book together? Q 2: I suppose the third question is whether, since LMTX, there has been any further development in the 'streams' mechanism that might help me? Julian

separators between non-instantiantiated (foot)notes
by Rudd, Kevin 03 Apr '23

03 Apr '23

Is there a better (automatic, consistent) way to insert separators between non-instantiated (foot)notes (i.e., where there is at least one \note involved with an immediately preceeding/following \footnote or \note? looking at the source, the obvious hack was apparent but ... not ideal. Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but from what I see: \starttext something that works \footnote[a]{AAAA} \footnote[b]{BB} something that doesn't \footnote[c]{CCCCCC} \note[b] something else that doesn't \footnote[d]{DDDDDDDD} \unprotect\strc_notes_inject_separator\protect \note[b] but can be made to work, but does not adapt to \quotation{normal} \type{\footnote} style/format customizations \footnote[e]{E E E E}% \high{\tx{,}} \note[a] \stoptext It would be great if there were a command that treated a (some command like) \note as a \footnote-equivalent command for typesetting purposes but I'm not sure how/where the appropriate template that could produce this command might go. (And I don't know if there are? footnote-state subtleties that I'm missing that would make this kind of thing non-trivial to implement.)' Many thanks, -K Kevin W.

bold small caps
by Peter Münster 03 Apr '23

03 Apr '23

Hi, I'm quite sure, that this worked some time ago with the standard font (LM): \setff{smallcaps} Normal and \bf bold Small Caps. (See also https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Bold_small_caps) But it does not work with the latest ConTeXt version. How could I get bold small caps with the latest version please? TIA for any hints, -- Peter

Userdata environment
by Fabrice Couvreur 03 Apr '23

03 Apr '23

Hi, I have already created a thread on the subject and Wolgang, Marco and Taco have replied but the userdata environment is not yet clear to me. I would like, if possible, to write a definition, a property or a theorem on the left and illustrate it in the right margin with an example. In the code below, the second example is on the second page and not next to the second definition. Thanks.
