index sort order (de)
by Henning Hraban Ramm 08 Jul '24

08 Jul '24

Hi, I checked the German index sorting rules, and as far as I can tell, all of them are somewhat wrong. – de, default, or no setting (just mainlanguage de) – Duden - DIN 5007-1(:2005) - DIN 5007-2(:1996) - de-AT IMO, "Duden" is obsolete, should be the same as default; it makes no sense to have a default setting that doesn’t adhere to the official rules. If Û#m not mistaken it’s also the same as DIN 5007-1; maybe there was a difference before 2005. (DIN 5007-2 and de-AT have their uses.) The order of umlauts etc. should be ok. [ß] In tex/context/base/mkiv/sort-lan.lua, ß is replaced by s, while it should be sorted like ss in default and both DIN versions. (de-AT sorts ss after ß.) [upper-/lowercase] While casing is not mentioned in Wikipedia (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alphabetische_Sortierung) Duden „Satz und Korrektur“ says: Uppercase characters get sorted the same as lowercase (i.e. mixed), but if both appear, lowercase comes first. ATM all German settings sort lowercase behind uppercase. Generally, default method seems to be not "default" but "before". Does this make sense? If we look at the method presets, there’s none for {zm,pm,zc,zm,uc} (upper like lower, ignore diacritics – basic default for German). """ \mainlanguage[de] \setupregister[index][language=de] \starttext \index{Apfel} \index{Äpfel} \index{apfel} \index{äpfel} \index{aepfel} \index{Aepfel} \index{Ápfel} \index{ápfel} \page \completeindex \stoptext """ default order should be: aepfel Aepfel apfel Apfel äpfel Äpfel ápfel Ápfel aqua DIN 5007-2 sorts like: aepfel Aepfel äpfel Äpfel apfel Apfel ápfel Ápfel aqua de-AT sorts like: aepfel Aepfel apfel Apfel aqua äpfel Äpfel ápfel Ápfel Hraban

processor for index sub-entry?
by Henning Hraban Ramm 07 Jul '24

07 Jul '24

Hi, is it possible to apply a processor to an index sub-entry? \index{Modules+\type{filter}} looks good, but "filter" is sorted under "type". \defineprocessor[type][style=mono] \index{Modules+type->filter} results in a "Modules / type->filter" entry. \index[Modules+filter]{Modules+\type{filter}} works and looks good, but the code feels bad… Hraban

Dear list, Anytime I try make a document I get: token call, execute: ...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/toks-aux.lmt:291: attempt to call a nil value (field 'getmathvariantpresets') stack traceback: ...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/toks-aux.lmt:291: in local 'code' ...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/util-lua.lua:97: in field 'loadedluacode' ...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/luat-env.lua:108: in field 'luafilechunk' ...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/luat-cod.lmt:82: in function 'lua.registercode' [ctxlua]:1: in main chunk <empty file> You injected something that confused the parser, maybe by using some Lua call. resolvers | formats | resolvers | formats | binary path : /Users/me/context/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin resolvers | formats | format path : /Users/me/context/tex/texmf-cache/luametatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/formats/luametatex resolvers | formats | luatex engine : luametatex resolvers | formats | lua startup file : /Users/jme/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/luat-cod.lmt resolvers | formats | context file : /Users/me/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/cont-en.mkxl resolvers | formats | run time : 0.457 seconds resolvers | formats | return value : error resolvers | formats | mtx-context | error, no format found with name: cont-en, aborting system I have tried deleting context/texmf-cache and running: context --make context --make cont-en Still no luck. I get the exact same error message when I run those two commands as well. Any idea why this is happening? Noticed this after upgrading to the latest version. I am on MacOS if that helps. Thanks Jethro

How to specify a default formatting for TABLE
by Gerion Entrup 02 Jul '24

02 Jul '24

Hi, I want to format a bunch a tables with the same formatting. It seems that specifying the \setupTABLE commands as part of the preamble works. However, I need some tables that are formatted in another way. Is there a generic way to specify this? Here is a MWE: ``` \setupTABLE[frame=off, offset=2pt] \setupTABLE[row][first][topframe=on, bottomframe=on, style=bf] \setupTABLE[row][last][bottomframe=on] \setupTABLE[row][even][background=color,backgroundcolor=red] \setupcolors[state=start] \starttext A table:\\ \bTABLE \bTR \bTD head1 \eTD \bTD head2 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD data1 \eTD \bTD data2 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD data3 \eTD \bTD data4 \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \blank[line] Another table with the same format:\\ \bTABLE \bTR \bTD head1 \eTD \bTD head2 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD data1 \eTD \bTD data2 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD data3 \eTD \bTD data4 \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \blank[line] This table should be formatted in another way (actually not formatted):\\ \bTABLE \setupTABLE[row][each][topframe=off, bottomframe=off, style=, background=] \bTR \bTD head1 \eTD \bTD head2 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD data1 \eTD \bTD data2 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD data3 \eTD \bTD data4 \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \blank[line] This does not work either:\\ { \setupTABLE[row][each][topframe=off, bottomframe=off, style=, background=] % \setupTABLE[row][1,2,3][topframe=off, bottomframe=off, style=, background=] % this deactivates the color at least \bTABLE \bTR \bTD head1 \eTD \bTD head2 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD data1 \eTD \bTD data2 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD data3 \eTD \bTD data4 \eTD \eTR \eTABLE } \stoptext ``` The last two tables should be formatted as if the four setupTABLE commands in the header are not existent. My solution does not work, however. Gerion

Use headcommand in \definedescription together with \definehighlight
by Gerion Entrup 01 Jul '24

01 Jul '24

Hi, I was in the process to convert an itemize part to a description and wanted to simplify the code in the same move. I discovered headcommand for that, but struggled to set the text in an highlight _and_ make a colon at the end. Do you know, if this is possible? Here is a MWE: ``` \definehighlight[hl][style={\m{>}\,\switchtobodyfont[tt]}] \definedescription[category][ alternative=top, headstyle=bold, width=broad, ] \definedescription[desc][ width=broad, distance={\widthofstring{~}}, headcommand={\groupedcommand{\hl}{:}}, % headcommand={\groupedcommand{}{:}}, % this compiles but the highlight is lost % headcommand={\groupedcommand{\starthl}{\stophl :}}, % this does not compile headstyle=, before={\startpacked}, after={\stoppacked}, alternative=hanging, ] \starttext This is a \hl{highlight}. Some listings \startcategory{Itemize} \startitemize[packed] \item \hl{first}: one \item \hl{second}: two \stopitemize \stopcategory Now the same as desc: \startcategory{Desc} \startdesc{first} one \stopdesc \startdesc{second} two \stopdesc \stopcategory \stoptext ``` The itemize looks like it should look (except of the dots). Best, Gerion
