Map XML attributes to variables, dynamically
by Thangalin 10 Aug '23

10 Aug '23

Hello! A Markdown document resembles the following: ::: {.concurrent title="Berth 5" location="San Diego"} Text Goes Here ::: ::: {.concurrent title="Road" location="Beale AFB"} Different Text Goes Here ::: The XHTML generated from that document resembles: <div class="concurrent" data-title="Berth 5" data-location="San Diego"> Text Goes Here </div> <div class="concurrent" data-title="Road" data-location="Beale AFB"> Different Text Goes Here </div> Environments for the DIV element gets translated using: \startxmlsetups xml:div \start[\xmlatt{#1}{class}]\xmlflush{#1}\stop \stopxmlsetups This creates "\startconcurrent" and "\stopconcurrent", which are later defined using "\definestartstop[concurrent]". I'd like to dynamically define all the data- attributes to make key/value pairs accessible from the document. For example, I have this: \definestartstop[concurrent][ before={% \blank[big]% \setMPtext{1}{Berth 5}% \startTextConcurrentFrame}, after={\stopTextConcurrentFrame\blank[big]}, ] I'd like to replace \setMPText calls with a reference to a dynamically created variable reference. For example: \setMPtext{1}{\usermap[concurrent.title]} \setMPtext{2}{\usermap[concurrent.location]} I can verify the attribute values exist by exporting them to the document: \startxmlsetups xml:div title:\xmlatt{#1}{data-title} location:\xmlatt{#1}{data-location} \start[\xmlatt{#1}{class}]\xmlflush{#1}\stop \stopxmlsetups How would you change the xml:div setup to create a map of its attributes as key/value pairs? Thank you!

Tracker for hyphens at the end of lines
by Keith McKay 09 Aug '23

09 Aug '23

Hi colleagues, Is there a tracker for highlighting hyphens at the end of lines similar the way underfull and overfull boxes can be displayed with a coloured bar at the end of the offending line? I have looked at the wiki page "Reviewing hyphenation" and it has a solution for mkii from 2009 which, I would think, won't be suitable for present day ConTeXt. I have tried searching for hyphens using Skim and Adobe Acrobate viewers but although they find hyphenation in line they don't recognise hyphens at the edge of lines. Any help would be appreciated.

Triaging tikz error: Cannot parse this coordinate
by Xavier B. 09 Aug '23

09 Aug '23

After some time, I could write a minimal example with tikz with strange error: Cannot parse this coordinate. Can someone help me to find the bug? I attach the file and the log. Help very appreciate I run $ context --version mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 1.04 mtx-context | mtx-context | main context file: /usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/mkiv/context.mkiv mtx-context | current version: 2023.03.10 12:15 mtx-context | main context file: /usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/mkxl/context.mkxl mtx-context | current version: 2023.03.10 12:15 via texlive (arch) Thanks, Xavier

regular online meet-up
by Henning Hraban Ramm 09 Aug '23

09 Aug '23

You’re invited to join on Wednesday, August 9th, 15:00 CEST (UTC+2) at https://lecture.senfcall.de/hen-rbr-rku-oke (same, but shorter: https://v34h.de/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

Parallel columns using start/stop setups
by Thangalin 08 Aug '23

08 Aug '23

Two concurrent situations can happen, which I'd like to typeset as two parallel columns while keeping the overall page layout (i.e., headers, footers, margins, and such). current version: 2023.07.18 22:07 I'd like to find a way to set up start/stop environments, if possible, to come up with a general-purpose solution (i.e., the prose itself is not changed). Here are a few examples. In the first, a "concurrent" environment is created with two "timelines": % SOT \definestartstop[concurrent][ before={\startcolumns[n=2, align={verytolerant,stretch}, separator=rule]}, after=\stopcolumns, ] \definestartstop[timelinea][ after=\column, ] \definestartstop[timelineb][] \starttext \startconcurrent \starttimelinea \dorecurse{5}{\input ward} \stoptimelinea \starttimelineb \dorecurse{5}{\input knuth} \stoptimelineb \stopconcurrent \stoptext % EOT The ward and knuth texts end up in the same column because one is shorter than the other. Here's another attempt: % SOT \defineparagraphs[concurrent][n=2] \definestartstop[timelinea][ before=\concurrent, after=\concurrent, ] \definestartstop[timelineb][ before=\concurrent, ] \starttext \startconcurrent \starttimelinea \dorecurse{5}{\input ward} \stoptimelinea \starttimelineb \dorecurse{5}{\input knuth} \stoptimelineb \stopconcurrent \stoptext % EOT This loses much of the input text. Can this be accomplished using LMTX and what would be the best approach? Would this setupparagraphs, definecolumnset, synchronizestreams, or possibly incomplete/experimental functionality? Thank you!
