Combine \setupdelimitedtext with an author (define custom variable?)
by Gerion Entrup 18 Jun '24

18 Jun '24

Hi, I like to achieve something that looks like this: ``` \definedelimitedtext[extract][blockquote] \setupdelimitedtext [extract] [leftmargin=1.5pc, style={\italic}, before={\setupindenting[next]}, after={\blank[1ex] \hrule \blank[1ex] \startalignment[flushright] \tfx\italic{René Descartes} \stopalignment}] \starttext \startextract Cogito ergo sum. \stopextract \stoptext ``` So it should setup a quotation and mentions the author. However, here the author is hardcoded within the blockquote. I would like it to use like this: ``` \definedelimitedtext[extract][blockquote] \setupdelimitedtext [extract] [leftmargin=1.5pc, style={\italic}, before={\setupindenting[next]}, after={\blank[1ex] \hrule \blank[1ex] \startalignment[flushright] \tfx\italic{\getcustomvariable{author}} \stopalignment}] \starttext \startextract[author=René Descartes] Cogito ergo sum. \stopextract \stoptext ``` Is there an easy way to achieve that? I tried with \structureuservariable (like possible in \startchapter) but it does not work. Best, Gerion

Upgrading from 2021.03.05.20230120 -> 2023.05.05.20230730 breaks BibTeX footnotes
by Kip Warner 17 Jun '24

17 Jun '24

Hello list, I recently upgraded my distro release to Ubuntu Noble on one of my machines. The ConTeXt packages that were previously for 2021.03.05.20230120 were upgraded to 2023.05.05.20230730. Since the upgrade I've noticed my BibTeX footnotes that previously looked like this: https://imgur.com/vg7Xjd3.png Now look like this: https://imgur.com/I3hq6bM.png I haven't changed anything in the source of my document. This is how I typeset in my Environment.tex: % Select References.bib and name it the main database... \usebtxdataset[main][./References.bib] % Citation style... \usebtxdefinitions[apa] % Use our main dataset for citations... \setupbtx[dataset=main] \definebtxrendering[main][apa][dataset=main] % When listing all references use APS style... \definebtxrendering [list_all_references] [aps] [dataset=main, group=examples] \setupbtxrendering[main][ pagestate=start, continue=yes, numbering=yes] % Macro to put the citations as footnotes... \unexpanded\def\footnotecite{\dodoubleempty\domycite} \def\domycite[#1][#2]% {\ifsecondargument \footnote{\cite[alternative=entry,#1][main::#2]}% \else \footnote{\cite[alternative=entry][main::#1]}% \fi} Any help appreciated! -- Kip Warner OpenPGP signed/encrypted mail preferred https://www.thevertigo.com

line numbering respecting original lines
by Henning Hraban Ramm 17 Jun '24

17 Jun '24

When discussing verses or other texts that have distinct line breaking, I need line numbering to adhere to that, even if some lines are too long and need breaking. Is that possible? In my example below the 3rd line is too long and gets line numbers 3 and 4. Same problem with source code examples, i.e. \starttyping with numbering. I thought numbering=file (or \setuplinenumbering[method=file]) would address that, but apparently not. Hraban \mainlanguage[de] \setuppapersize[A7,landscape] \setuplayout[topspace=0mm,bottom=0mm,width=90mm,height=70mm] \setuppagenumbering[location=none,state=stop] %\setuplinenumbering[method=file] \starttext \startlinenumbering \startlines Und doch, wie viel wahnsinniger, einen Freund, weil ers in einer Kleinigkeit versah, die nur ein Mensch, mit dem gar nicht zu leben ist, ihm nicht verzeihen konnte, gleich dafür zu hassen und zu fliehen, wie den Ruso … \stoplines \stoplinenumbering % aus: C. M. Wieland, Horazens Satiren. Weimar 1786 (2. Aufl. 1804) \stoptext

contextwiki what is going on?
by Hans van der Meer 17 Jun '24

17 Jun '24

Today I find on my Mac the following alert when browsing wiki.contextgarden.net <http://wiki.contextgarden.net/> Do you want to allow downloads on “wiki.contextgarden.net”? instead of the home page. Since I changed nothing in my system, no preferences changes, no system update, no security settings, this behaviour deviates from the previously prompt loading of the home page. What is happening? Is the site hacked? Or was there a change on the server? I do not want to allow downloads just to lookup something in the garden. yours sincerely dr. Hans van der Meer

table float split behavior
by Henning Hraban Ramm 17 Jun '24

17 Jun '24

Table floats split in odd places, independent of top/page/here location. There’s always a first part, then some not-float text, then the other parts. Even if the table would fit on two pages (with location=page), it always gets split into three. Can I influence this anyhow? Hraban \usemodule[visual] \starttext \samplefile{tufte} \startplacetable[location={top,split},title=table split test] \bTABLE%[setups=twoparamstable] \bTABLEhead \bTR\bTH One \eTH\bTH Two\eTH\bTH Three \eTH\eTR \eTABLEhead \bTABLEbody \dorecurse{60}{% \bTR\bTD #1\eTD\bTD \fakewords{1}{10}\eTD\bTD \fakewords{1}{10}\eTD\eTR } \eTABLEbody \eTABLE \stopplacetable \samplefile{knuth} \stoptext

Math manual
by Mikael Sundqvist 17 Jun '24

17 Jun '24

Hi! Hans just uploaded a new version. I am not writing about the news in that version (although there are some fun things!), but rather to announce that the math manual is finally included. We have been working on and off since 2021 on math and therefore also on this document, and we finally believe that both math and the document are now in a state that should be sufficiently useful and not too confusing. You can find a screen and a paper version: ./tex/texmf-context/doc/context/documents/general/manuals/mathincontext-screen.pdf ./tex/texmf-context/doc/context/documents/general/manuals/mathincontext-paper.pdf The versions are generated from the same tex files, so the content (except for some chapter pages only available in the screen version) should be the same. We hope that this will be useful for all of you who use math in your documents. If you have any questions, find any errors, or miss something, please let us know. We consider the document not to be finished, so there will be updates. Also, we will also at some point include the tex files, but that will have to wait a bit. /Hans and Mikael

expanded doif's
by Hans van der Meer 16 Jun '24

I remember there was an incantation to work with expanded doif's etc. In this case I need \doifelsedefined{ARG} with ARG expanded. I lost the exact spelling of the command and dldn't find it in the garden. What was it? yours sincerely dr. Hans van der Meer
