no packed in current latest (LMTX only)
by Pablo Rodriguez 04 Sep '23

04 Sep '23

Dear list, after updating to current latest (from 2023.09.03 19:03), packed list doesn’t seem to work in LMTX: \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=1em] \startitemize[packed] \item item \item item \stopitemize \stopTEXpage \stoptext MkIV gets packed lists just right. Could anyone confirm this? Many thanks for your help, Pablo

Trimming (rearranging) long section name
by context＠vivaldi.net 04 Sep '23

04 Sep '23

Hello, is there a way to alter the section name to be " Specifické požadavky pro předpokládanou technologii stavby (přístupy, přívody el. energie, skladovací plochy, montážní a pomocné plochy, montážní a pomocné konstrukce, ...) " instead of " Specifické požadavky pro předpokládanou technologii stavby (přístupy, přívody el. energie, skladovací plochy, mon- tážní a pomocné plochy, montážní a pomocné konstrukce, ...) " IOW to force the word "stavby" not to cross the right border (see the green vertical line) but to appear on the next line? I played with "strict", "verytolerant" and similar options but they seem not to affect section titles. (MkIV solution preferably.) Best regards, Lukas

Different Layout for First Page
by Jeroen 04 Sep '23

04 Sep '23

I have a document with the first page in startfrontmatter and all other pages in startbodymatter. The layout setting is as following \setuplayout [backspace=20mm, width=175mm, topspace=15mm, header=0mm, footer=2mm, height=275mm, bottomheight=1mm, footerdistance=10mm] \setupfootertexts [title] [\pagenumber{} of \totalnumberofpages] \setupfooter[state=stop] \startfrontmatter \input{frontpage.tex} \stopfrontmatter \setupfooter[state=start] \startbodymatter \input{introduction.tex} \stopbodymatter What would be the easiest way to change the layout only for the first page since it has no footer. For the first page, I would like to have the text run all the way to the bottom with \vfill where normally the footer would be. Thanks Jeroen

Bug or feature? \numexpression and hashes

Hi, list. The following fails with a "Missing number, treated as zero" error prompt: \starttext \expandedrepeat2{\expandedrepeat2{\the\numexpression#I+#P\relax\ }} \stoptext OTOH, \numexpr works seamlessly. Tested on ConTeXt 2023.09.03 19:03. Thanks in advance. Best regards, Jairo

Reinserting a section title followed by (continued) after a page break
by Calvin Ross 04 Sep '23

04 Sep '23

I'm trying to use ConTeXt for playwriting, and I think it would be best to use sections for dialog. However, if a dialog's text is interrupted by a page break, it is customary to restate the character name followed by (continued) on the following page: --- open --- John My name is John, and I seek help with my --- page break --- John (cont'd) typesetting needs... --- end --- Maybe what I need is instead a mark? Here's a catch though, I will also need this to work for simultaneous dialog as well. This kind of dialog is represented by having dialog sections in columns: --- open --- Alice Bob John, you fool. John, you imbecile. --- page break --- Alice (cont'd) Don't you know that everyone uses Word to typeset their plays? --- end --- How can I do this kind of thing in ConTeXt? At the moment, I've been looking into adding a hook to shipout to prepend a section header with the last custom mark I've set. Even still, I don't know if this would work, or how to go about achieving this. If columns would be too difficult to implement, I'd be fine with living without (continued) support in them since they are pretty rare.

(feature proposal) link to attachments: /GoToE
by Pablo Rodriguez 03 Sep '23

03 Sep '23

Hi Hans, having attachments in PDF is very useful, but the vast majority of people don’t know how to handle them (even with the attachment pane displayed when Acrobat opens the document, or with file annotation). It would be really useful to have a link with destination that it would open the embedded document (when clicked). Since in its basic functionality, this is very similar to links to external documents (GoToR), I wonder whether it would be possible to implement links to embedded documents (GoToE, https://opensource.adobe.com/dc-acrobat-sdk-docs/pdfstandards/PDF32000_2008…) At least to begin with, only links to embedded children documents would be required. If this GoToR is generated by ConTeXt from "\goto{whatever}[destination-doc::page(15)]": 17 0 obj << /D [ 14 /Fit ] /F (destination-doc.pdf) /NewWindow true /S /GoToR >> endobj A GoToE destination for "\attachment[file=destination-doc.pdf, method=hidden]" would read: 1 0 obj << /S /GoToE /D [ 14 /Fit ] /NewWindow true /T << /R /C /N (destination-doc.pdf) >> >> endobj With EmbeddedFiles, the F entry from GoToR is a target dictionary (T key) in GoToE. The T dictionary contains the relation (R key) to the destination file (only C, child, needed) and the name (N) from EmbeddedFiles/Names for the attachment. This is the most basic implementation that allows to link to an attachment. What the spec describes as “a complete facility for linking between a file in a hierarchy of nested embedded files and another file in the same or different hierarchy” is probably unnecesarily complex (even to use). With file annotations, instead of the name from EmbeddedFiles/Names in the target dictionary, it requires the keys P and A (as numbers or strings). P gives the page number which contains the file annotation: zero-based as number, or named destination as string. A gives the annotation: zero-based index of the annotation in the Annots array, or NM entry value from the annotation object. As for the interface, it would be great that GoToR links could be converted automatically in "\goto{some text}[file::page(number)]" for attached files. This basic implementation of GoToE links would be extremely helpful to access embedded documents (believe it or not, this is something I explain almost every week at work). I would be happy to provide the code to implement this, but I’m afraid this is way beyond my knowledge. Many thanks for your help, Pablo

list of modules: need changes/testing/response
by Henning Hraban Ramm 03 Sep '23

03 Sep '23

Hi all, esp. module authors! I went through the list of modules on https://modules.contextgarden.net/ (dl/) and the list that controls module installation for “--script install-modules". I removed all font-related modules from the list (not yet from the garden), since they’re probably all obsolete & outdated. Consider publishing typescripts in the wiki. The following modules don’t adhere to the necessary structure and need changes: * t-handlecsv (2023, Pablo) * metaducks (2021, Jairo) * presvoz (2023, Pablo) All of them have a name directory on top of the TDS (tex, doc). If you used a git checkout URL, please try again, for me it worked today. Several modules need testing if they still work and make sense. If their authors are present, I’d appreciate a comment if we should keep them. I’d like to delete at least everything older than 10 years. * grph-downsample.lua (2019) is known to fail in current LMTX (I hope for an integrated solution during the meeting.) t-degrade (2018) is AFAIK an older version of it – delete? * high (2018) and pret-c (2018) are syntax highlighters. Are they better than the vim and scite modules? Does it make sense to keep/update them? * karnaugh (2021, VicSanRoPe; probably OK, I just don’t understand it) * t-account (2009, Wolfgang) * t-algorithmic (2013, Wolfgang) * t-animation (2013, Wolfgang) * t-annotation (2013, Wolfgang) * t-bnf (2006, Now) * t-chromato (2008, Peter) * t-construction-plan (2008, Peter) * t-crossref (2016, Zenlima) * t-cyrillicnumbers (2016, Philipp) * t-fancybreak (2015, Wolfgang) * t-french (2011, Peter) * t-fullpage (2017, Wolfgang) * t-gantt (2012, Adam) * t-gm (2015, Luigi) * t-gnuplot (2013, Mojca) * t-greek (2013, Thomas – is this more than fonts?) * t-gs (2015, Luigi) * t-inifile (2008, Peter) * t-layout (2007, Patrick) * t-letterspace (2016, Philipp) * t-mathsets (2011, Aditya) * t-rst (2016, Philipp) * t-rsteps (2006, David) * t-simplebib (2016, Zenlima) * t-taspresent (2008, Thomas – AFAIK an old version of simpleslides) * t-title (2017, Wolfgang) * t-transliterator (2021, Philipp) * t-typearea (2008, Peter) * t-visualcounter (2018, Aditya, isn’t there a newer version?) Modules not mentioned are probably fine. Hraban
