(ConTeXt LMTX) How do I fix the centering and setting up width in xtables?
by Felix 02 Sep '24

https://pastebin.com/TQdzmxeP I am trying to make a resume in ConTeXt (to see how well my skills have gotten, I am still quite a beginner) and Iw as able to produce what is in Pastebin. Though, I am having trouble with the table that goes over the big sized text that would be my name. It has an email, a phone number, and an address but they are all.... aligned very weirdly. I want them to be centered. Though, the phone number has some sort of problem with alignment, and I don;t know fi the other ones are causing it or are also aligned wrong. I also wanted to make this code: \startxcell[topframe=on,bottomframe=on,align=flushright] Ability to communicate strongly and effectively, being a reliable team member, supporting a team whenever needed, and the desire to help everyone \stopxcell has it so that it doesn't take up so much horizontal space (Ideally it is taking up 1/3 of the width I am allowing for since there are three rows in total) , but when I add width={some value} into the square brackets, it will add a blank line after all the text, and this is not what I want. is there a way to fix what I am experiencing? I would also not mind if I could be told how to improve my code, whether it be by adding startxrowgroup, startxcellgroup, or head and footer sections., or other options. Thank you for reading.

BUG(?): mailing list archive formatting
by Jim 02 Sep '24

To whomever might be able to do something about this: The "quoting" on the mailing list archive seems to have a bug. For example, in https://mailman.ntg.nl/archives/list/ntg-context@ntg.nl/thread/NZOIVLVPZHHM… in Hans' response of 27 Aug 1:07 a.m., it has "There are three ways" attributed to contact(a)0vladimirgrbic.com, whereas in the email I received those four words (appear to) come from Hans. Is this something that someone can (and cares to) fix? Cheers. Jim

Problem with end note processing
by Rik Kabel 01 Sep '24

Hello all, I am working through some issues with end notes, and came across a what appears to be a bug as demonstrated in the following MWE. ConTeXt ver: 2024.08.16 15:49 LMTX fmt: 2024.8.16 int: english/english \setupnote [endnote][location=none] \setupnotation [endnote][] \starttext text\endnote[-]{end note} text\endnote{end note} %text\endnote[-]{end note} \placenotes[end note] \stoptext When run as shown, both end notes get indices, but the first should not. When the commented line is enabled, none of the three end notes gets an index, but the second should. It seems that the last end note determines the display for all end notes. I have other questions about end notes that I will submit separately. -- Rik
