About a pagination
by Fabrice Couvreur 23 Jul '24

23 Jul '24

Hi, I'm trying to get the same pagination as in the attached photos. Using the wiki and Wolfgang's codes I get something interesting but not very elegant (\ACFRAME{}). Only, I don't see how to emphasize the title of each chapter in the same way. Thanks.

spacing in columns
by Hans van der Meer 23 Jul '24

23 Jul '24

The first screenshot has its items neatly stacked and is made with \startsimplecolumns[n=2] \placenotes[endnote] \stopsimplecolumns The second screenshot has its items wide apart and is made with \startcolumns[n=2,blank=1pt] \placenotes[endnote] \stopcolumns Question: how do I get rid of the interline space in the last case. Whatever I fill in for blank= doesn't make a difference, the output is always the same. yours sincerely dr. Hans van der Meer

Install urbanist fonts
by alan.caruanambom＠gmail.com 23 Jul '24

23 Jul '24

Hello, I was trying to install the urbanist fonts (https://github.com/coreyhu/Urbanist) but I couldn't get it to load and save the fonts in the system folder and in the ConTeXt folder without success, I could only get it to load when saving them in the current working directory but that is annoying, help me by telling me the correct way to install it... I leave you my code so you can review it and give me advice to improve it \starttypescript [sans] [urbanist] \definefontsynonym [Urbanist][file:urbanist-regular.otf*default][features=default] \definefontsynonym [UrbanistItalic][name:urbanist-italic.otf*default][features=default] \definefontsynonym [UrbanistBold][name:urbanist-bold.otf*default][features=default] \definefontsynonym [UrbanistBoldItalic][name:urbanist-bolditalic.otf*default][features=default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [sans] [urbanist] \definefontsynonym [Sans][Urbanist][features=default] \definefontsynonym [SansItalic][UrbanistItalic][features=default] \definefontsynonym [SansBold][UrbanistBold][features=default] \definefontsynonym [SansBoldItalic][UrbanistBoldItalic][features=default] \stoptypescript \definetypeface[urbanist][ss][sans][urbanist][default] \setupbodyfont[urbanist,30pt] \starttext \dorecurse{100}{\bf \input knuth \crlf} \stoptext

request for talk/article on writing modules
by Henning Hraban Ramm 22 Jul '24

22 Jul '24

Hi wizards, I’d really appreciate an introduction “how to write a ConTeXt module” at the meeting and in the next journal. * How does this namespace and setup stuff work? * When does it make sense to use variables, macros or parameters? * Should I use the namespace for internally used MP graphics, environments, buffers etc.? I guess I can figure out most of it on my own, but I think we should have some easily understandable documentation. Or do we already have something and I didn’t find it? I can contribute the part about distribution. Best, Hraban

How to create a second bibliography?
by Joel 22 Jul '24

22 Jul '24

My copy editor wants me to create a second bibliography for photo/illustration references. I'm using basic code to make a bibliography: \usemodule[publ-imp-sbl] \usebtxdataset[default][~/Commons/sources.bib] \setupbtx[dataset=default] \usebtxdefinitions[sbl] \setupbtx[sbl] \starttext \input knuth \cite[authoryear] \startchapter[title=Bibliography] \placelistofpublications \stopchapter\stoptext I know how to create custom lists and indexes, but not a bibliography list. How do I point the image references to go to a different list, but still its a bibliography? \startchapter[title=Image Credits] \placelistofcredits \stopchapter --Joel

spreadsheet module
by Henning Hraban Ramm 20 Jul '24

20 Jul '24

Hi, I checked the spreadsheet module for the first time (in my own invoices I do everything in Lua and don’t need it). In the attached example, I setup a decimal comma, as usual in German: \setupspreadsheet[rechnung][ period={,}, comma={\,}, split=yes] Unfortunately, this also replaces all dots in the text strings. Is there a workaround (beside using \getspr in a “real” table)? Apparently, \startrow or \startcell don’t understand the period setting. Hraban

Anyone working on a treesitter grammar?
by juh+ntg-context＠mailbox.org 20 Jul '24

20 Jul '24

Dear all, no mention here https://tree-sitter.github.io/tree-sitter/ and searching for treesitter on the Wiki gives no match? Many texteditors have treesitter support builtin so having a ConTeXt grammar would be nice. TIA juh

list of used files
by Henning Hraban Ramm 20 Jul '24

20 Jul '24

Hi, is there some mechanism (directive?) that gives me a list of files that were involved in making a PDF? Preferably only those outside of the texmf trees, but I could filter that myself. (With "latexmk -recorder somelatexfile" I get the file list as a .fls file.) My goal is to commit all used images to my git repo, while I often have a big collection of images that I didn’t use in the end and don’t need in the repo. Hraban
