how to prevent item appearing in List of Figures
by Charles Doherty 30 May '24

Hi Mikael, > I notice that you addressed Wolfgang, but you also sent to the list. > One way could be to condition on being on a chapter page: > > \setupheadertexts > [\doifelsefirstsectionpage{chapter}{\userpagenumber}{}] > > \setupheadertexts > [\doifelsefirstsectionpage{chapter}{}{\getmarking[chapter]}] > [\doifelsefirstsectionpage{chapter}{}{\userpagenumber}] Thank you for your suggestion. Along with your suggestion and that of Wolfgang I get what I need. I thought I was sending to the list but I copied and pasted from an email and didn’t realise that Wolfgang was included. I have only ever written to the list many years ago. I haven’t typeset a book before and various things are a challenge. The most recent is the following. I have \placelistoffigures some of which are logos (for the publisher and two granting bodies) that I have placed with: \setupcaptions[number=no] \starttplacefigure[ location={middle,high,low}, reference=fig:logo, title=] {\externalfigure[FCLogo][width=0.045\textwidth]} \stopplacefigure These are not part of the text and I don’t want them to appear in the list. The caption for the logo doesn’t appear in the List of Figures but the page number does. How can I prevent these particular graphics from being listed in the List of figures. Thanks, Charlie

BibTeX choking on comments in database
by Kip Warner 29 May '24

29 May '24

Hello list, I am using BibTeX under ConTeXt to typeset a publication. I noticed while building the publication ConTeXt raises the following non-fatal warning: ... This is BibTeX, Version 0.99d (TeX Live 2023/Debian) The top-level auxiliary file: Secret_Sauce.aux The style file: cont-au.bst Database file #1: ./References.bib I was expecting a `{' or a `('---line 2 of file ./References.bib : : % See the file Copying for details on copying conditions. (Error may have been on previous line) I'm skipping whatever remains of this entry (There was 1 error message) publications > loading formatting style from 'bibl-apa' open source > level 4, order 13, name '/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/bib/mkii/bibl-apa.tex' close source > level 4, order 13, name '/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/bib/mkii/bibl-apa.tex' ... All that's present on the first few lines of the References.bib BibTeX database are comments that begin with the '%' character. Is there a different character that should be used for BibTeX databases when used with ConTeXt? -- Kip Warner OpenPGP signed/encrypted mail preferred https://www.thevertigo.com

I'm defining a command to generate options for multiple choice questions, but at the moment I'm stuck at this step. I want to get a number and assign a value to the counter, but why can't I get it? %%%% \starttext \definedataset [myset] \setdataset [myset] [foo=1,boo=4] \newcount\tempa \datasetvariable{myset}{1}{boo} % definitely get 4 %\tempa=\datasetvariable{myset}{1}{boo} % why i cannt pass 4 to tempa? %\number\tempa \stoptext %%%%% If anyone can fix it, thanka very much Muyik

regular expression as lua pattern
by Pablo Rodriguez 29 May '24

29 May '24

Dear list, I have the following sample: \starttext \startTEXpage[pagestate=start, offset=1em] \startluacode local str = "this is that" context(str:match("(this|these)")) \stopluacode \stopTEXpage \stoptext In short, I would like to know whether it is possible to have the regular expression (this|these) as a Lua pattern. I mean, I need complete strings and I haven’t found the way to do it. Many thanks for your help, Pablo

Re: lua error in `strc-lev.lua`
by Sylvain Hubert 29 May '24

29 May '24

I replaced `strc-lev.lua` and rerun `context` but the error message stays the same. `context` command doesn't seem to recognize the change of `strc-lev.lua`. Should I run `mtxrun` or something before?

I rerun `install.sh` after replacing `strc-lev.lua` and the error goes away. Thanks Hans!

wrong font scaling in LMTX?
by Pablo Rodriguez 28 May '24

28 May '24

Dear list, I have the following sample: \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][TeX Gyre Pagella] \definefontfamily[mainface][ss][TeX Gyre Heros] [scale=0.125] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext \startTEXpage[pagestate=start, offset=1em] \rm a\ss a\\ {\rm a\ssd a}\\ {\rm a\ssx a}\\ {\rm a\ssxx a} \stopTEXpage \stoptext Scaled \ssx and \ssxx are wrong in LMTX (not scaled at all). All font sizes are scaled fine in MkIV. In both cases, I‘m running latest from 2024.05.17 16:32. Could anyone confirm the issue? BTW, this is the first time I indent the sample sent to the list with a single character (one tab) instead of two or four spaces. If the sample is wrong displayed in the medium you use with the mailing list, please tell me and I will go back to spaces instead of tabs. Many thanks for your help, Pablo
