How to Define a New Language
by ai2472206007＠yeah.net 27 May '24

27 May '24

Hello, everyone. As the title describes, I want to define a new language: Chinese Traditional. Based on what I could find on the Internet, I made these settings. But I couldn't get the results I wanted. %%%start example \usetypescriptfile[osx] \setupbodyfont [stfangsong] \unprotect \installlanguage[cnt] [default=cn,patterns=cn,factor=yes] \setuplanguage [cnt] [spacing=packed,default=cn,patterns=cn,factor=yes] \setuplabeltext [cnt] [appendix={附錄}] \protect \mainlanguage[cnt] \currentmainlanguage \labeltext{appendix} %%% stopexample I think I'm going to get the two kanji [附錄]. But the truth is, he has nothing. But when I converted to Chinese Simplified, he magically appeared. %%%start example \usetypescriptfile[osx] \setupbodyfont [stfangsong] \unprotect \setuplabeltext [cn] [appendix={附錄}] %%% here switch to Chinese-Simplified \protect \currentmainlanguage \labeltext{appendix} %%% stopexample So, what should I do to get it. Of course, my original assumption was that when I changed the language, these labels, fonts, indentations, line spacing, etc., would change. But for now, I'm stuck at defining a new language. If anyone can give advice, appreciate it Muyik

page number
by Charles Doherty 26 May '24

26 May '24

Dear Wolfgang, I have a book in preparation with running heads. Pagenumber marking | marking Pagenumber The chapter title page has empty headings. The publisher would like the page number centered on the Chapter title page. I manage to put it there but I don’t want it to run on the following pages. I have made various attempts but can’t manage it. I have \setuplayout[location=doublesided] \setuppagenumbering[location=,alternative=doublesided] \setupheadertexts[chapter][][pagenumber] \setupheadertexts[{\getmarking[chapter]}][pagenumber] Can anyone show me code to achieve this? Thanks, Charlie

Problem with PNG images in the latest standalone version
by Hajtmar Jaroslav 24 May '24

24 May '24

Hello. After a long time of using ConText from TeXlive installation I tried the standalone version again. I found that my old documents that I normally compile exclusively with the old ConText ver: 2018.04.04 00:51 MKIV beta fmt: 2019.5.2 latest version of standalone ConText compiles smoothly, seamlessly and most importantly very quickly and the results are the same at a glance. Unfortunately, the only problem I have not been able to solve is that the new standalone ConTeXt (ConTeXt ver: 2024.05.17 16:32 LMTX fmt: 2024.5.23) does not display PNG files in my PDF document for me. If I replace the PNG files with JPG files, the images are loaded and displayed in PDF file after compilation. I have also tried experimenting with the png method, see e.g. \setupexternalfigures[directory={../texlibrary/}, method=png], I have tried a few things, but it fails to work. I tried to search for something, but I couldn't find anything relevant. Can anyone advise me what the problem is or what I'm doing wrong? Is it caused by some version incompatibility or some setting? I apologize if something similar has already been addressed here, but I have not been able to follow the happenings in this mailing list for quite some time. Thanks a lot for any advice. Jaroslav

Playing with math font setup
by Ali Ali 21 May '24

21 May '24

Hi, hope everyone's doing well! Is it possible to setup math font so that all the basic ascii characters (i.e. a..zA..Z0..9) glyphs are substituted with current serif (or sans) font. I tried playing with fallback thing but it didn't got me anywhere! e.g. $x$ will use the 'x' glyph from current serif italic font, and $\bf x$ will use the 'x' glyph from current serif bold font! I would appreciate any suggestions and help! Suppose we have all the required font files in the 'font' directory of the working directory, and below is the minimal source code! """ \starttypescriptcollection[CustomFontSelection] \starttypescript [serif] [CustomFontSelection] [name] \setups[font:fallback:serif] \definefontsynonym [Serif] % [file:font/Lora-Regular.ttf] [file:font/Lora-Medium.ttf] [features=default,fallbacks=Serif] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [file:font/Lora-Bold.ttf] [features=default,fallbacks=SerifBold] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] % [file:font/Lora-Italic.ttf] [file:font/Lora-MediumItalic.ttf] [features=default,fallbacks=SerifItalic] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [file:font/Lora-BoldItalic.ttf] [features=default,fallbacks=SerifBoldItalic] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [math] [CustomFontSelection] [name] %%% \definefontfallback [MathRomanFallBack] %%% [SansItalic] %%% [extendedlatin] %%% [force=yes] \definefontsynonym [MathRoman] [file:font/STIXTwoMath-Regular.otf] [features=math,fallbacks=MathRomanFallBack] \stoptypescript \starttypescript[CustomFontSelection] \definetypeface [CustomFontSelection] [rm] [serif] [CustomFontSelection] [default] [rscale=0.9] \definetypeface [CustomFontSelection] [ss] [sans] [newcomputermodern-book] [default] \definetypeface [CustomFontSelection] [tt] [mono] [newcomputermodern-book] [default] \definetypeface [CustomFontSelection] [mm] [math] [CustomFontSelection] [default] [rscale=0.97] \stoptypescript \stoptypescriptcollection \setupbodyfont[CustomFontSelection] \starttext We use $X$, $Y$, $Z$ and $n$, $m$, etc. $\sin(x) \to \limsup x_n$ whatever. \mathematics{% \delta_{ij} = \startmathcases \NC 1 \NC \text{if } i = j \NR \NC 0 \NC \text{otherwise} \NR \stopmathcases } We use $\bf X$, $\bf Y$, $\bf Z$ and $\bf n$, $\bf m$, etc. $\bf \sin(x) \gets \limsup x_n$ whatever. \stoptext """ Best regards, Ali

LUA API for page numbers
by Luc Chabassier 21 May '24

21 May '24

Hi everyone, I have recently migrated my PhD dissertation from LaTeX to ConTeXt. In LaTeX I was using kaobook, a template with lots of margin notes, but I was frustrated with the automatic placement of the notes. I implemented a system using overlays that automatically places the notes using lua. To know where the ideal placement should be (if they do not interact with each other), I use lua to insert a latelua whatsit that uses lpdf.getpos() to get the coordinate on the rendered page. However, I haven't found a way to get the page number using lua, and the tex macro \pagenumber is unreliable near pagebreaks. Furthermore, it would be helpful to know if there is a way to access the position and sizes of figures at the end. Thanks, Luc

Hi all, I want to define a command that simulate hashtag behavior in social networks, In other words, this command should put the hashtag sign at the beginning of it, replace spaces with dashes and also it should be a clickable link and unbreakable world. I mean like this, for example: \myhashtag{hello world} It should be displayed as #hello_world in the final PDF and when clicked it will search for #hello_world throughout the pdf How is this possible?

luatex doesn't see installed 3rd party module
by andrei＠borisov.dev 20 May '24

20 May '24

Hello! I’ve installed a 3rd party module by copying its TDS folder structure and invoking `context --generate` as described in https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Modules#ConTeXt_LMTX When I compile my project with `context` (using LuaMetaTeX), it's found and works just fine; however, when I try to compile with LuaTeX by invoking `context --latex`, it can’t find the module. Do I need to do something special to make it visible for LuaTeX? I can’t find the answer in the wiki. Any help would be appreciated 🙏🏻 Best, Andrei.
