margn text on makeup page -- how?
by Rik Kabel 28 Feb '25

28 Feb '25

Is there a way to get margin text in a makeup page? The following example, modified by the addition of \inmargin... from the wiki at https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Document_layout_and_layers/Makeup, results in no margin text in the makeup with either luatex or lmtx. \definepapersize[sheet][width=208mm,height=222mm] \setuppapersize[A8][sheet] \setuppaper[nx=4,ny=3] \setuparranging[XY] \setupbodyfont[9pt] \setupalign[tolerant] \showframe \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided, page=,] \setupmakeup[pagestate=start] \definemakeup[custom][align=middle] \starttext \startmakeup[custom] This is a \par \mono{custom}\par title page \stopmakeup \startmakeup[text] This is a \par \mono{text}\par title page \stopmakeup \startmakeup[middle] This is a \par \mono{middle}\par title page\inmargin{\color[red]{Ha!}} \stopmakeup \startmakeup[standard] This is a \par \mono{standard}\par title page \stopmakeup \startmakeup[page] This is a \par \mono{page}\par title page \stopmakeup \inmargin{\color[red]{Ha!}} \input zapf \stoptext -- Rik

Question about matrices with vertical and horizontal lines
by Matthias Weber 27 Feb '25

27 Feb '25

Hi, I’d like to typeset a matrix with vertical and horizontal lines like so: starttext \startformula \startmatrix \HL \VL 16 \VL 3 \VL 2 \VL 12 \VL\NR \HL \VL 5 \VL 10 \VL 11 \VL 8 \VL\NR \HL \VL 9 \VL 6 \VL 7 \VL 12 \VL\NR \HL \VL 4 \VL 15 \VL 14 \VL 1 \VL\NR \HL \stopmatrix \stopformula \starttable[|c|c|c|c|] \HL \VL $16$ \VL $3$ \VL $2$ \VL $12$ \VL \FR \HL \VL $5$ \VL $10$ \VL $11$ \VL $8$\VL \SR \HL \VL $9$ \VL $6$ \VL $7$\VL $12$ \VL\SR \HL \VL $4$ \VL $15$ \VL $14$ \VL $1$ \VL\SR \HL \stoptable \stoptext In the matrix version, the horizontal lines extend too far to the left. Ideally, I would like the cells to be squares, with the entries centered. Thanks for any suggestions! Matthias

\setuplist[chapter][alternative=d] inside margins
by Pablo Rodriguez 27 Feb '25

27 Feb '25

Dear list, I have the following sample: \starttext \showframe %\setuppapersize[A5] \setupinteraction [state=start, color=,] \enabledirectives[references.border=darkgreen] \definestructureconversionset[rom][n,R] \protected\def\doPageNumber#1% {#1\narrownobreakspace·\narrownobreakspace% \the\numexpr 1 + #1\relax} \setuphead[title] [page=yes] \setuphead[chapter] [page=even, sectionconversionset=rom] \setuplist[chapter] [alternative={d}, pagecommand=\doPageNumber, left={\letterleftbracket}, right={\letterrightbracket}, distance=.125tw, ] \completecontent \dorecurse{100} {\startchapter \samplefile{zapf} \stopchapter} \stoptext Having this sample (which in my real-world document is contained inside an A5 page), which is the way to have all contents fully justified and single entries not broken between lines? BTW, in both this sample and the final document, chapters contain only their Roman number and no title. Many thanks for your help, Pablo

Description Lists with labels longer than a single line
by denis.maier＠unibe.ch 26 Feb '25

26 Feb '25

Hi, I have a list of description (used to typeset an index) where in a few cases the label is longer than a single line. Apparantly, the label can’t span multiple lines: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \definedescription[indexentry] [alternative=hanging, align=flushleft, headstyle=normal, margin=1cm, width=broad, ] \starttext \startindexentry{Aliba oros irged ba: mongγol irged-neri qara tamiki tataγsan büged jaručiγulaqu jerge-yi jiγaburi abču sidken čegerlegülkü dürme ene bolumui} 123 \stopindexentry \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Is there a way to make this work? Or maybe there’s an easier solution? Best, Denis

issue with agr loaded patterns
by Pablo Rodriguez 25 Feb '25

25 Feb '25

Dear list, I have the following sample: \setupbodyfont[dejavu] \mainlanguage[agr] \setuplanguage[es][patterns={es, agr}] \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=1em] \hyphenatedword{πράγματα}\\ \es\hyphenatedword{πρᾶγματα}\\ \hyphenatedword{τέκνον}\\ \stopTEXpage \stoptext On the first line, I get the hyphenated word πράγ-μα-τα. But on the second line (with I thought they were the same paterns), I get the same word hyphenated as πρά-γμα-τα. What am I missing here? I would expect the same results. BTW, shouldn’t be τέκνον hyphenated as τέκ-νον? Many thanks for your help, Pablo

New Wiki
by Joaquín Ataz López 24 Feb '25

24 Feb '25

I just visited the ConTeXt wiki, and I was very pleasantly surprised by the new organization of the material. Without a doubt, it has been a great effort, but I believe it is well worth it, as the new structure helps both newcomers who want to get started and experienced users who want to delve deeper into specific aspects. My sincerest gratitude. -- Joaquín Ataz López Departamento de Derecho civil Universidad de Murcia
