Status of Asymptote
by Alexandre Christe 11 Jan '24

11 Jan '24

Dear all, I'd like to know what is the status of Asymptote in Context. To my knowledge, metapost/metafun only support 2D (except with the additional libraries from Roegel, which would have to be cleaned up a bit). Otherwise, what shall be used for 3D drawings in Context? TikZ? Something else? Thanks in advance. Alex

Re: [NTG-context] checkbox in fields show the word yes
by Andres Conrado Montoya 05 Oct '23

Firefox doesn't show the "yes", nor Acrobat X, but SumatraPDF does. I modified your definition as: \definefield[test][check][cbox][][] And now the "yes" doesn't appear. However, I don't know how this affects the functionality of the form. -- 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.

Dear all, I'm struggling to setup a nested itemize with no blank line and several columns. What I mean is something like 1. a) bla c) bla b) bla d) bla The following MWE is my starting point \starttext \startitemize[n] \item \blank[-line] \startitemize[a,horizontal,two] [margin=2cm] \item First \item Second \item Third \item Fourth \stopitemize \item \blank[-line] \startitemize[a,horizontal,columns,two] \item First \item Second \item Third \item Fourth \stopitemize \stopitemize \stoptext Thanks in advance

Can ConTeXt write its pdf to a different directory?
by peter.hopcroft＠icloud.com 07 Aug '23

07 Aug '23

My .tex file is in a directory within my working directory. I would like ConTeXt to write its output in the same directory as my .tex file. But it writes to the working directory. This was asked 10 years ago: `tex.stackexchange.com/questions/67928/how-to-set-output-directory-in-context-command` The answer given then was to use: `context filename --result=output-directory/filename` But this doesn't work now. When I compile my .tex file, I get a message: `results are to be on the running path, not on 'output-directory', ignoring --result` I've looked in the wiki: `https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Context` Thank you, Peter
