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.

How to disable hyphenation at the end of a line?
by Joel 20 May '24

20 May '24

I'm using mostly default ConTeXt settings, but an editor has warned I should avoid using hyphenation at the end of lines--at least for my particular audience. I've found manual text that says how to disable specific words from being hyphenated. Is there a whole-document switch to disable it? --Joel

build_parshape and \getshapetext - need for a deeper understanding
by garulfo＠azules.eu 19 May '24

19 May '24

I still get some difficulties with build_parshape, \getshapetex and sectionning. I though I find a solution by removing \blank with \setuphead [subsection] [before=, after=, style=, command=\MySubSectionCommand, alternative=text ] But actually it's not enough : when I add text before the first section, new issues appear. I tried to build a MVE by refactoring and tidying as much as I could. It build 3 comparative pages (i) basic issue, (ii) solution, (iii) remaining issue. Your guidance are most welcome :-) \setupbodyfont[11pt] %------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \usecolors[svg] \definemeasure [mywidth] [7cm] \definemeasure [mywidtha] [5cm] \definemeasure [myheight] [{\the\dimexpr\baselineskip*37+\lineskip\relax}] \definemeasure [myheighta] [{\the\dimexpr\baselineskip*18+\lineskip*1\relax}] \definemeasure [myheightb] [{\the\dimexpr\baselineskip*25-\lineskip*1\relax}] \startuseMPgraphic{mymetafunpath} path p ; numeric mywidth ; mywidth := \measure{mywidth}; numeric mywidtha ; mywidtha := \measure{mywidtha}; numeric myheight ; myheight := \measure{myheight}; numeric myheighta ; myheighta := \measure{myheighta}; numeric myheightb ; myheightb := \measure{myheightb}; p := (0,0) -- (mywidth,0) -- (mywidth,myheighta) -- (mywidtha,myheighta) -- (mywidtha,myheightb) -- (mywidth,myheightb) -- (mywidth,myheight) -- (0cm,myheight) -- cycle; build_parshape(p,0,0,0,\baselinedistance,\strutheight,\strutdepth,\topskip) ; fill p withcolor \MPcolor{tan}; \stopuseMPgraphic \defineoverlay[myoverlay][\useMPgraphic{mymetafunpath}] %------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \define[2]\MySubSectionCommand{\leftaligned{#2}} %------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \define[2]\MyPageBuilder{% \page \setupbackgrounds[page][background=testA] \definelayer[testA] [x=0mm, y=0mm,width=\paperwidth, height=\paperheight] ~ \startshapetext[mymetafunpath, mymetafunpath] % <=== WITHOUT \startsubsection #2 %\startsubsection[title={Title for section #1}] \MySubSectionCommand{1}{Title for section #1} \input knuth \endgraf \input ward %\stopsubsection \stopshapetext \setlayer [testA] [hoffset={\the\dimexpr\backspace\relax}, voffset={\the\dimexpr\topspace+\headerheight+\headerdistance\relax},] {\framed[background=myoverlay,frame=off]{\strut\getshapetext}} \startshapetext[mymetafunpath, mymetafunpath] % <===== WITH \startsubsection #2 \startsubsection[title={Title for section #1}] %\MySubSectionCommand{1}{Title for section #1} \input knuth \endgraf \input ward \stopsubsection \stopshapetext \setlayer [testA] [hoffset={\the\dimexpr\backspace+\measure{mywidth}+5mm\relax}, voffset={\the\dimexpr\topspace+\headerheight+\headerdistance\relax},] {\framed[background=myoverlay,frame=off]{\strut\getshapetext}} } %============================================================================== %\showboxes \starttext \MyPageBuilder{A}{} \setuphead [subsection] [ before=, after=, style=, command=\MySubSectionCommand, alternative=text, ] \MyPageBuilder{B}{} \MyPageBuilder{C}{\strut Hi from here. \endgraf} \stoptext

Wiki - test/proposal to further clarify documentation
by garulfo＠azules.eu 19 May '24

19 May '24

Hi all, I just discover the Diátaxis documentation framework : - https://www.diataxis.fr/ - 30min video : "What nobody tells you about documentation", https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4vKPhjcMZg , from Daniele Procida at PyCon 2017 As I understand it, it can help both readers and writers of the documentation by clarifying the purpose of each element. So I started a potential new "welcome page" : https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Main_Page2 The main lines would be : - Tutorials: installation pages, step by step examples - How-to guides: most of the existing wiki pages which are not https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Commands/ ... - Discussions and manuals: most of the existing manuals - Reference : the pages dedicated to commands which already include link to mailing list, stack exchange, ConTeXt's source - https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Category:Commands - https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Special:PrefixIndex?prefix=Command%2F To match the logic of Diátaxis, maybe some material from command pages should be moved from "Reference" to "How-to guides", for example, when the examples go beyond "pure description" and begin to deal with "how-to" cases, e.g. : - Reference for setuphead: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setuphead - How-to guides for headings: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Titles If it make sense, and according to your feedbacks, I can continue to reallocate existing contents. Thanks for your feedback and thoughts. Garulfo

Why is only the first frame protruding into the margin?
by madiazm.eoicc＠gmail.com 18 May '24

Hi, I used some code from the meta-fun manual to recreate a labelled frame around my sections. But the first framedtext protrudes a couple of mm into the margin. Only the first one in the page. I intentionaly added other sections and the frames aline to the margin ok. I tried to put something before the first frame (noindentation, dontleavehmode) because I sometimes read it solves problems, but not the case here. so Why is the first frame protruding and only the first? \definepapersize[vertical][A4, portrait] \definepapersize[horizontal][A4, landscape] \setuppapersize[vertical] \setuplayout[location=middle, marking=off, topspace=1cm, topdistance=0cm, backspace=2.5cm, height=fit, width=fit, rightedge=5mm, rightedgedistance=0cm, rightmargin=20mm, rightmargindistance=7mm, leftmargin=1.5cm, header=1cm, headerdistance=.5cm, bottomspace=.5cm, bottomdistance=0mm, footer=.8cm, footerdistance=.2cm, setup=strict,] \startuseMPgraphic{FunnyFrame} picture p ; numeric w, h, o ; p := textext.rt(\MPstring{FunnyFrame}) ; w := OverlayWidth ; h := OverlayHeight ; o := BodyFontSize ; p := p shifted (2o,h-ypart center p) ; draw p ; drawoptions (withpen pencircle scaled .25pt withcolor blue) ; draw (2o,h)--(0,h)--(0,0)--(w,0)--(w,h)--(xpart urcorner p,h) ; %draw boundingbox p ; %%%quitamos el frame pequeño setbounds currentpicture to unitsquare xyscaled(w,h) ; \stopuseMPgraphic \defineoverlay[FunnyFrame][\useMPgraphic{FunnyFrame}] \defineframedtext[FunnyText][width=.85\textwidth, height=20mm, frame=off, background=FunnyFrame, align=flushright,location=right, after={\blank[2*big]}]%foregroundsytel amplía la palabra Apartado \def\FrameTitle#1% {\setMPtext{FunnyFrame}{\hbox spread 1em{\hss\strut \color[blue]{\tfx Apartado #1}\hss}}} \setMPtext{FunnyFrame}{} % initialize the text variable \define[2]\firstHeadings{% \dontleavehmode \switchtobodyfont[miCorm] \FrameTitle#1% \dontleavehmode \startFunnyText {\switchtobodyfont[miCorm,20.7pt] #2} \stopFunnyText } \setuphead [section] [color=blue, command=\firstHeadings, indentnext=no] \starttext \noindentation \dontleavehmode \startsection[title=Aspectos generales] Esta guía contiene toda la documentación necesaria para administrar la prueba unificada de certificación que ha diseñado la comisión de alemán.

Igualmente se incorporarán o enlazarán subcarpetas con los archivos necesarios para las pruebas orales: monólogos, diálogos y mediaciones orales. \stopsection \stoptext

update
by Hans Hagen 17 May '24

17 May '24

Hi, This weekends update: - we're currently checking the upcoming math manual and in the process we streamline some mechanisms - as part of the BT presentation about par passes we introduced \toddlerpenalty but we leave it to the user to guess what that is (it fits into widow, club and orphan penalty collection) - we could already produce pdf 2.0 but especially when one mises with older files, some care is needed; the inclusion 'compact' mechanism has been cleaned up a bit and the merge interface is converging (it has to do with efficient font sharing, cleanup and fixing of files outside our control); when one has issues with inclusion, try with compact= (set to nothing) - although we're mostly done with tagging it will get some attention as we go; it's mostly about playing safe and getting valid pdf's - for rhaban (posters) another fancy feature was added: \startTEXpage[offset=1ts] \samplefile{tufte}\removeunwantedspaces\space \startshadow[contrastcolor=red,weight=100]\blue\samplefile{tufte}\removeunwantedspaces\stopshadow\space \samplefile{tufte}\removeunwantedspaces\space \startshadow[contrastcolor=red,weight=100,dx=0,dy=0]\blue\samplefile{tufte}\removeunwantedspaces\stopshadow\space \samplefile{tufte} \blank \setupshadows[shadowed][unit=pt,dx=.5,dy=-.5,weight=200] \shadowed{\bfd Tufte\setstrut\strut} \stopTEXpage Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
