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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

Is there any command that equates to "keep with previous paragraph"?
by Joel 16 May '24

16 May '24

If I have text like this, it interprets the gap as needing a paragraph break: This is some text. This is some other text, it will appear in a new paragraph. Is there any macro I can place that will ignore the gap before it, treating the next text as if it belongs at the end of that sentence? Ex. This is some text. \ignorebreak This is some other text, it will appear in a new paragraph. That way output is more like this: This is some text. This is some other text, it will appear in a new paragraph. --Joel

compatibility between \startshapetext and \startsection ?
by garulfo＠azules.eu 15 May '24

15 May '24

Hi all, \startshapetext works pretty well, but when I use \startsection \stopsection, shapes are not respected anymore. I use layers, to be able to place the content anywhere, but the issue remains without layers. Any clues ? (\placeinitial seems also to break the shaping) Example : 2 pages without sectioning, and after 2 pages by uncommenting the \startsection and \stopsection commands. \setupbodyfont [pagella, 8pt] \setupframed [frame=on, offset=0.000pt, rulethickness=0.000pt, location=top, align=normal, strut=yes, ] \setuplayout [grid=yes] \setupinteraction [state=start] %------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \definemeasure [myheight] [{\the\dimexpr\baselineskip*33+\lineskip\relax}] \definemeasure [myheighta] [{\the\dimexpr\baselineskip*10+\lineskip*2\relax}] \definemeasure [myheightb] [{\the\dimexpr\baselineskip*20-\lineskip*2\relax}] \startuseMPgraphic{mp1} path p ; numeric myheight ; myheight := \measure{myheight}; numeric myheighta ; myheighta := \measure{myheighta}; numeric myheightb ; myheightb := \measure{myheightb}; p := (0,0) -- (6cm,0) -- (6cm,myheighta) -- (4cm,myheighta) -- (4cm,myheightb) -- (6cm,myheightb) -- (6cm,myheight) -- (0cm,myheight) -- cycle; build_parshape(p,0,0,0,\baselinedistance,\strutheight,\strutdepth,\topskip) ; fill p withcolor \MPcolor{lightyellow}; \stopuseMPgraphic \defineoverlay[ol1][\useMPgraphic{mp1}] %============================================================================== \starttext %============================================================================== {\sc\bfd Version A, without sectionning, pages 1\ampersand 2} \startshapetext[mp1, mp1, mp1, mp1, mp1, mp1] \setupalign[hz,hanging,verytolerant,stretch,normal]% \setupindenting[yes,small]% \strut% \reference[myref1]{MyRef1}Here is the first reference.\par See reference \in[myref2] on \at{page}[myref2]\par % \dorecurse{5}{ %\startsection[title={Title for section{\recurselevel}}] \darkred\input knuth \par \darkblue\input ward %\stopsection } \reference[myref2]{MyRef2} Here is the second reference.\par See reference \in[myref1] on \at{page}[myref1]\par \stopshapetext \definelayer[testA] \setlayer[testA][x=-1cm,y=3cm]{\framed[background=ol1]{\strut\getshapetext}} \setlayer[testA][x=9cm,y=3cm] {\framed[background=ol1]{\strut\getshapetext}} \flushlayer[testA] \page \setlayer[testA][x=-1cm,y=3cm]{\framed[background=ol1]{\strut\getshapetext}} \setlayer[testA][x=9cm,y=3cm] {\framed[background=ol1]{\strut\getshapetext}} \flushlayer[testA] \page %============================================================================== {\sc\bfd Version B, with sectionning, pages 3\ampersand 4} \startshapetext[mp1, mp1, mp1, mp1, mp1, mp1] \setupalign[hz,hanging,verytolerant,stretch,normal]% \setupindenting[yes,small]% \strut% \reference[myref3]{MyRef3}Here is the first reference.\par See reference \in[myref4] on \at{page}[myref4]\par % \dorecurse{5}{ \startsection[title={Title for section{\recurselevel}}] \darkred\input knuth \par \darkblue\input ward \stopsection } \reference[myref4]{MyRef4} Here is the second reference.\par See reference \in[myref3] on \at{page}[myref3]\par \stopshapetext \definelayer[testB] \setlayer[testB][x=-1cm,y=3cm]{\framed[background=ol1]{\strut\getshapetext}} \setlayer[testB][x=9cm,y=3cm] {\framed[background=ol1]{\strut\getshapetext}} \flushlayer[testB] \page \setlayer[testB][x=-1cm,y=3cm]{\framed[background=ol1]{\strut\getshapetext}} \setlayer[testB][x=9cm,y=3cm] {\framed[background=ol1]{\strut\getshapetext}} \flushlayer[testB] %============================================================================== \stoptext %==============================================================================

expansion question
by Pablo Rodriguez 15 May '24

15 May '24

Dear list, I have the following sample: \setupinteraction[state=start] \setupattachments[method=hidden] \protected\def\PDFfile[#1]% {\cldcontext{file.addsuffix("#1", "pdf")}} \starttext \doifelsefile{\PDFfile[xml-mkiv]} {yes}{no} \attachment[file={\PDFfile[xml-mkiv]}] \stoptext I need the \PDFfile definition to be \protected for only one case (that I cannot reproduce in my sample). Is there any way to define an unprotected command and invoke it as protected only for a particular case? Many thanks for your help, Pablo
