mathcal generates error in ConTeXt
by A A 26 Mar '22

26 Mar '22

Dear All, I am using pandoc to covert a file called test.tex from LaTeX to ConTeXt. Here are the contents of test.tex: *\documentclass{article}* *\begin{document}* *\mathcal{A}* *\end{document}* The file compiles OK with the following command and I see a resulting pdf: *latexmk -pdflatex test.tex* Then I try to convert with pandoc: *pandoc -f latex -t context -o test_context.tex test.tex* Pandoc appears to successfully generate a file test_context.tex containing the following: *\mathcal{A}* Then I try to compile the test_context.tex file: *context test_context.tex* Which unfortunately results in an error: *resolvers | formats | executing runner 'run luametatex format': C:/context/tex/texmf-win64/bin/luametatex --jobname="./test_context.tex" --fmt=C:/context/tex/texmf-cache/luametatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/formats/luametatex/cont-en.fmt --lua=C:/context/tex/texmf-cache/luametatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/formats/luametatex/cont-en.lui --c:currentrun=1 --c:fulljobname="./test_context.tex" --c:input="./test_context.tex" --c:kindofrun=1 --c:maxnofruns=9 --c:texmfbinpath="C:/context/tex/texmf-win64/bin"* *system > callbacks > not registering frozen 'local_box_filter'* *system >* *system > ConTeXt ver: 2021.11.02 10:03 LMTX fmt: 2021.11.4 int: english/english* *system >* *system > 'cont-new.mkxl' loaded* *open source > level 1, order 1, name 'C:/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/cont-new.mkxl'* *system > beware: some patches loaded from cont-new.mkiv* *close source > level 1, order 1, name 'C:/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/cont-new.mkxl'* *system > files > jobname './test_context', input './test_context.tex', result './test_context'* *fonts > latin modern fonts are not preloaded* *languages > language 'en' is active* *open source > level 1, order 2, name './test_context.tex'* *tex error > tex error on line 1 in file ./test_context.tex: \textfont0 is undefined in (text) char, font id 0, character 63)* *<line 3.1>* * $\mathcal{A}$* *1 >> $\mathcal{A}$* *2* *Somewhere in the math formula just ended, you used the stated character from an* *undefined font family.

zint module on LMTX
by Pablo Rodriguez 25 Mar '22

25 Mar '22

Dear list, using latest LMTX and following the steps from https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Barcodes#Zint_module, I’m afraid I don’t get any barcode either in Linux or Windows. Minimal sample: \starttext \usemodule[zint] \barcode[alternative=isbnx, text=9783865419026, width=4cm] \stoptext Error message is rather weird on Linux: optional > using library '/home/ousia/context/tex/texmf-linux- 64/bin/lib/luametatex/zint/libzint.so' zint > unknown barcode alternative 'isbnx' zint > zint > valid barcode alternatives: zint > [...] zint > isbn zint > isbnx [...] It seems that a valid barcode alternative ends up being unknown to the library. What am I missing here? Many thanks for your help, Pablo

redefining xmlsetups inside a XML document
by mf 24 Mar '22

24 Mar '22

Hello, I'm trying to add new templates (xmlsetups) from the XML document itself. See the attached MWE. - the XML document is a simple XHTML file - in the "head" element there's a "script" element with the "type" attribute set to "text/vnd.context", whose contents are then passed to \xmlcontext - the "body" element has a "data-xmlsetups" attribute whose value should tell which xmlsetups is to be applied on the body contents (it's defined in the "script" element above) If it worked, the resulting PDF should show the body element, followed by a "Hello world!" paragraph written in red. But it does not work, because there's something I'm missing in the redefinition and application of xmlsetups. To try the MWE, type: context --environment=nested-xmlsetup.tex --forcexml nested-xmlsetup.xhtml Massi

Chapter number retrieval
by Willi Egger 23 Mar '22

23 Mar '22

Hello everybody! I would like to typeset the chapter title without number in the text. — However I still would need to retrieve the number for a calculation in a MetaFun graphic. I assume, that even though this number is not typeset, it is kept in the background. How to retrieve it? Kind regards Willi

Make footnote/endnote number not superscript?
by Bruce Horrocks 22 Mar '22

22 Mar '22

I'm editing a book that will be printed, however the authors have included URLs which will no doubt suffer from "bit rot" in no time at all. I think it will make the main text cleaner if I use endnotes rather than include the URL in-line in the text or as a (distracting) footnote. So when the author writes "See my video at <long Youtube URL>" I will print "See my video at link 1". At the back of the book, in an appendix somewhere, I then use \placenotes to display a table of the actual URLs for any readers that want to type them in. I want the "link 1" bit to be normal text rather than superscript so it's more visible. Using the \setupnote[textstyle=...] command I can change the style of the number but not the superscript placing. Is there a way to remove the superscript placing, please? Alternative solutions welcome: the URLs printed in the book will be mirrored on a web page associated with the book for as long as possible so that content that vanishes over time can be replaced with Internet Archive links as they are discovered. However the order of the book isn't finalised yet so I'd like the numbering to be sequential regardless of whether I move a chapter around later on. This is partly the reason for using \endnote because I can use a reference elsewhere in the text if necessary. Thanks in advance. — Bruce Horrocks Hampshire, UK

Small bug in publ-imp-aps.mkvi
by Jack Hill 21 Mar '22

21 Mar '22

Hi everyone, Just letting you know that there is an extra . (full stop) on the end of lines 732 and 734 of publ-imp-aps.mkvi which causes references to be typeset like "p.. 417" and "pp.. 417--418". Thanks, Jack

Metafun, difficulty with graphical element in the margin
by Willi Egger 21 Mar '22

21 Mar '22

Good evening! I have a dictionary where I would like to include thumb-pictures in the margin. — When I use the attached code with a single \startchapter...\stopchapter, it works. However if I add another \startchapter…\stopchapter before loading the setups for the thumb-picture metafun throws an error about not having complete information for performing a transformation. I am currently using the before last version of LMTX-ConTeXT (January 21st 2022). Could someone try to compile? Thanks, kind regards Willi

\setupheadertexts for chapters with different authors
by jbf 20 Mar '22

20 Mar '22

I thought this should work, since \structurelistuservariable{author} works fine to call the author name into the TOC, but the same does not work for header texts it seems: \setupheadertexts [{\hfill\getmarking[\structurelistuservariable{author}]\hfill}][] [{\hfill\documentvariable{metadata:title}\hfill}][] But it doesn't. What am I doing wrong? Julian

Metafun, difficulty with graphical element in the margin, again.

Hello, I am a little desperate… I have installed in a new directory the latest version of ConTeXt. I run the sample file I provided before. After enabling a second chapter-section before the \setups{Thumb-picture} the metafun error reoccurs. — Looking at the log I do net get really wiser, lacking the background of the implementation… So here follows the section of the log with the error: metafun > log > metafun > log > error: Transform components aren't all known metafun > log > metapost > trace > <error> (0,0,mfun_page_hsize[-4],0,0,1) metapost > trace > <to be read again> yscaled metapost > trace > <for(-4)> mfun_page_field [ (EXPR 0) ] [ (-40) ] := unitsquare xscaled mfun_page_hsize [ (EXPR 0) ] yscaled mfun_page_vsize [ (-40) ] shifted ( mfun_page_hstep [ (EXPR 0) ] , mfun_page_vstep [ (-40) ] ) ; mfun_page_field [ (-40) ] [ (EXPR 0) ] := mfun_page_field [ (EXPR 0) ] [ (-40) ] ; ENDFOR metapost > trace > <for(-40)> for HorPos = LeftEdge step 1 until RightEdge : mfun_page_field [ HorPos ] [ (EXPR 0) ] := unitsquare xscaled mfun_page_hsize [ HorPos ] yscaled mfun_page_vsize [ (EXPR 0) ] shifted ( mfun_page_hstep [ HorPos ] , mfun_page_vstep [ (EXPR 0) ] ) ; mfun_page_field [ (EXPR 0) ] [ HorPos ] := mfun_page_field [ HorPos ] [ (EXPR 0) ] ; endfor ; ENDFOR metapost > trace > <macro> mfun_check_page_field -> -> mfun_check_page_dimensions;for.VerPos=Top.step10until.Bottom:for.HorPos=LeftEdge.step1until.RightEdge:mfun_page_field[HorPos][VerPos]:=unitsquare.xscaled.mfun_page_hsize[HorPos]yscaled.mfun_page_vsize[VerPos]shifted(mfun_page_hstep[HorPos],mfun_page_vstep[VerPos]);mfun_page_field[VerPos][HorPos]:=mfun_page_field[HorPos][VerPos];endfor;endfor; metapost > trace > <argument> mfun_check_page_field ; metapost > trace > <macro> hide -> (TEXT0)-> exitif.numeric.begingroup(TEXT0);endgroup; metapost > trace > <macro> Field -> -> hide(mfun_check_page_field;)mfun_page_field metafun > log > metafun > log > I'm unable to apply a partially specified transformation except to a fully known pair or transform.

Tex capacity exceeded...
by jbf 17 Mar '22

17 Mar '22

Thanks Hans, and Rik. Perhaps I need to take a much closer look at this file to see if I have created some grouping issues. The removal of the .tuc file is a very handy tip that I hadn't thought of, and I assume it is associated with the way Hans put it, namely, 'looks like you load the same file...' Julian
