index sort order (de)
by Henning Hraban Ramm 08 Jul '24

08 Jul '24

Hi, I checked the German index sorting rules, and as far as I can tell, all of them are somewhat wrong. – de, default, or no setting (just mainlanguage de) – Duden - DIN 5007-1(:2005) - DIN 5007-2(:1996) - de-AT IMO, "Duden" is obsolete, should be the same as default; it makes no sense to have a default setting that doesn’t adhere to the official rules. If Û#m not mistaken it’s also the same as DIN 5007-1; maybe there was a difference before 2005. (DIN 5007-2 and de-AT have their uses.) The order of umlauts etc. should be ok. [ß] In tex/context/base/mkiv/sort-lan.lua, ß is replaced by s, while it should be sorted like ss in default and both DIN versions. (de-AT sorts ss after ß.) [upper-/lowercase] While casing is not mentioned in Wikipedia (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alphabetische_Sortierung) Duden „Satz und Korrektur“ says: Uppercase characters get sorted the same as lowercase (i.e. mixed), but if both appear, lowercase comes first. ATM all German settings sort lowercase behind uppercase. Generally, default method seems to be not "default" but "before". Does this make sense? If we look at the method presets, there’s none for {zm,pm,zc,zm,uc} (upper like lower, ignore diacritics – basic default for German). """ \mainlanguage[de] \setupregister[index][language=de] \starttext \index{Apfel} \index{Äpfel} \index{apfel} \index{äpfel} \index{aepfel} \index{Aepfel} \index{Ápfel} \index{ápfel} \page \completeindex \stoptext """ default order should be: aepfel Aepfel apfel Apfel äpfel Äpfel ápfel Ápfel aqua DIN 5007-2 sorts like: aepfel Aepfel äpfel Äpfel apfel Apfel ápfel Ápfel aqua de-AT sorts like: aepfel Aepfel apfel Apfel aqua äpfel Äpfel ápfel Ápfel Hraban

x mark symbol and general symbol guide
by Gerion Entrup 15 Jun '24

15 Jun '24

Hi, I recently tried to typeset a table with checkmarks and x marks. \checkmark exists but is there a predefined x mark symbol (\xmark does not work)? In general: For LaTeX there exists the very helpful comprehensive LaTeX symbol list [1]. Is there a similar documentation for ConTeXt somewhere? Best, Gerion [1] https://www.ctan.org/pkg/comprehensive

setuphead in connection with the command argument
by Gerion Entrup 06 Jun '24

06 Jun '24

Hi, I'm trying to adapt the format of chapters in my document and have a few questions regarding setuphead. My aim is to have the chapter (title) on a separate page with an additional intro in different text sizes for title, subtitle and the intro. I chose to use the "command=" argument in setuphead for that. However, I'm not quite sure about it's internals. Let's begin with a minimal example: ``` \define[2]\MyChapter{% #1 #2: \structureuservariable{subtitle} (\structureuservariable{intro}) } \setuphead[title, chapter][command=\MyChapter] \setupbodyfont[11pt] \starttext \startchapter[title=foo][subtitle=bar, intro={some explanation}] some text \stopchapter \stoptext ``` This produces 1.pdf. ## Font size What is the reason that that the font of the chapter is bigger? How can I reset it to normal size? This does not work at all: ``` \define[2]\MyChapter{% \setupbodyfont[11pt] #1 #2: \structureuservariable{subtitle} (\structureuservariable{intro}) } ``` However, changing to a bigger font works somehow. Is there a factor applied to the font size internally? For example: ``` \define[2]\MyChapter{% \setupbodyfont[20pt] #1 #2: \structureuservariable{subtitle} (\structureuservariable{intro}) } ``` produces 2.pdf (the chapter font is not 20pt). ## Line breaks How can I achieve line breaks? This does not work: ``` \define[2]\MyChapter{% #1 #2:\\ \structureuservariable{subtitle}\\ (\structureuservariable{intro}) } ``` (see 3.pdf) I also want to set everything except of the intro in a flushright environment but do not know how. I tried: ``` \define[2]\MyChapter{% \startalignment[flushright] #1 #2:\\ \structureuservariable{subtitle}\\ \stopalignment \structureuservariable{intro} } ``` (see 4.pdf, no change) ## Bold text I tried to get the text bold. However, `#1` and `#2` does not seem to follow this. ``` \define[2]\MyChapter{% \bold #1 #2: \structureuservariable{subtitle} (\structureuservariable{intro}) } ``` ## Makeups The best solution, I had so far, was to define a makeup, but I don't get it to work with text with mixed alignment and it does not solve the font size problem: ``` \definemakeup[chapter][align=left, top=] \define[2]\MyChapter{% \startmakeup[chapter] #1 #2:\\ \structureuservariable{subtitle}\\ \stopmakeup (\structureuservariable{intro}) } ``` (see 5.pdf) ## Framed I also have tried this but it does not bring any linebreaks: ``` \define[2]\MyChapter{% \framed[frame=off, offset=0pt]{#1\\#2:\\ \structureuservariable{subtitle}\\ (\structureuservariable{intro})} } ``` (see 6.pdf) I hope you can shed some light into setuphead with command. I search on the wiki, Stackoverflow and the manuals but didn't really find anything. Best, Gerion

Number in a circle
by Kip Warner 04 Jun '24

04 Jun '24

Hello list, I would like to typeset a number in a circle. Nothing fancy. No special colours, transforms, or complex metapost magic (which I am not familiar with). I have tried \circled{3} and \textcircled{3}, but ConTeXt does not appear to recognize these commands. Any help appreciated. -- Kip Warner OpenPGP signed/encrypted mail preferred https://www.thevertigo.com

framed boxes top aligned howto?
by Hans van der Meer 31 May '24

31 May '24

I have no problem of aligning two or more \framedtext boxes bottomwise on the baseline, nor centering them vertically within a \vcenter. But I do not succeed in placing them with their top aligned without the following trick: typeset them in a box, determine largestheight and then typeset again each within: \vbox to largestheight and \vill'ed to the bottom. All very well, but it is disastrous when there are side effects: twice typesetting then fails in some instances. I hope I described the question sufficiently clear, because an MWE is not so minimal. Therefore my question: how can I align two or more \framedtext's thus: |----------] |----------] |----------] ... | ] [ ] [ ] | ] [ ] [ ] | ] [ ] [ ] | ] |----------] [ ] | ] [ ] | ] [ ] |----------] [ ] |----------] yours sincerely dr.

self defined conversion in \date
by Peter Münster 30 May '24

30 May '24

Hi, It seems, that you cannot use self defined conversions in \date: \defineconversion[mytest][X-\romannumerals] \starttext Self defined conversion: \convertnumber{mytest}{1} (OK)\\ Predefined conversion in date: \date[d=1][day:a] (OK)\\ Self defined conversion in date: \date[d=1][day:mytest] (not OK) \stoptext Is this a bug, or a feature? How could one use self defined conversions in \date please? TIA for any help, -- Peter

Hi Hans & Mikael, \hfrac is not defined anymore in latest LMTX, is this intentional? (I don’t need it, it’s just about documentation.) Hraban
