issue with \placenotes[linenote]
by Pablo Rodriguez 05 Jan '22

05 Jan '22

Dear list, I have the following sample: \setuplinenote[location=text, paragraph=yes] \starttext \startbuffer \startlinenumbering[step=3] \dorecurse{25} {a\linenote{b} } \stoplinenumbering \stopbuffer \getbuffer \placenotes[linenote] \stoptext I cannot compile it. ConTeXt complains about "\placenotes[linenote]" being undefined. Is there something I’m missing or have I hit a bug? Many thanks for your help, Pablo

context manuals -- absence of \definefontfamily
by Youssef Cherem 05 Jan '22

05 Jan '22

Dear all, I've come back to using Context and I noticed the nice manuals around -- but one thing I miss is \definefontfamily (and \definefallbackfamily). There is info here: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Use_fonts_distributed_with_ConTeXt and then checking out the specific page: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/definefontfamily It still baffles me that definefontfamily, though much simpler than typescripts (which is intimidating), is not mentioned in the beginner's manuals (unless I missed something) and neither is it given more prominence in the Wiki, although I often see it mentioned in the forums. Being used to fontspec's simplicity, I'd never use typescripts. It would help a lot, for example, to include a sample of "definefontfamily" in "Use any font you like". Is there a reason why definefontfamily doesn't appear at all in the manuals (as far as I could see), which are rather comprehensive otherwise? All the best and thanks again for everything.

how to place getmarking[title] in header instead of getmarking[chapter]
by juh 04 Jan '22

04 Jan '22

Hi all, I know how to put the current chapter in the header. But how can I also put the value of \starttitle in the header. In this mwe the \starttitle command does not modify the header. Is it possible to do something like: \getmarking[chapter or title] I cannot include \setmarking[chapter]{title headline} right before \starttitle as the source is created automatically. \setupheadertexts [text] [{\getmarking[chapter]}] [] [] [{\getmarking[chapter]}] \setupcombinedlist[content][list={chapter}] \starttext \placecontent \startchapter [title=Lorem] \startsection [title=Lorem subsection] \stopsection \stopchapter \startchapter [title=Ipsum] \stopchapter \starttitle [title=title headline] Pellentesque dapibus suscipit ligula. Donec posuere augue in quam. Etiam vel tortor sodales tellus ultricies commodo. \page Nullam eu ante vel est convallis dignissim. \stoptitle \stoptext

Align table (framed) top
by Mikael Sundqvist 04 Jan '22

04 Jan '22

Hi, This is probably simple, but I cannot combine the right keys to get it to work. What is the correct way to get the last line, "The last foo", to automatically be placed below the second table? I still want the first line of the table to align vertically with the text Bar. /Mikael \starttext Foofoo Bar\bTABLE[width=2cm,location=top] \bTR \bTD This is a long sentence \eTD \eTR \eTABLE The last foo \stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] context manuals -- absence of \definefontfamily
by Jeong Dal 04 Jan '22

Dear Aditya and Youssef Cherem, To: Aditya, > > There is the talk that Wolfgang gave in this year's context meeting: > > https://meeting.contextgarden.net/2021/talks/2021-09-23/definefontfamily.pdf > Thank you for letting me know the talk which gives me more understanding about \definefontfamily. To: Youssef Cherem, Recently, Wolfgang helped me to define a font family as following, and I hope that it gives you some idea to use \definefontfamily. \definefallbackfamily [nanum] [rm] [Tex Gyre Pagella] [range={basiclatin,latinsupplement,latinextendeda,latinextendedb}, force=yes] \definefallbackfamily [nanum] [rm] [Noto Serif CJK KR] [range={cjkunifiedideographs},force=yes] \definefontfamily [nanum] [rm] [Nanum Myeongjo OTF] [ it={style:regular,features:{*,slanted}}, bi={style:bold,features:{*,slanted}},force=yes] Explanation: 1. I use Korean font whose family name is “Nanum Myeongjo OTF” as main font. Since it doesn’t have italic style and bold italic style, I add [it=… , bi=…] to simulate the styles. 2. Since I want to use English character in "TeX Gyre Pagella”. I add it in the first \definefallbackfamily with an option [range={…},force=yes] which restrict the use of font to Latin characters. 3. We use chinese characters also in the Korean sentences. But "Nanum Myeongjo OTF” doesn’t have Chinese characters. So I add another font “Noto Serif CJK KR” which contains Chinese character with the option [range={cjkunified…},force=yes] in the second \definefallbackfamily. There are two font families more, sans and mono which is similar as rm. It is really nice to use \definefontfamily which saves a lot of work to define fonts. Thanks Wolfgang. If there are something should changed in the above definition, please tell me what to do. Best regards, Dalyoung

local notes, "serried" (paragraph) or column style.
by Youssef Cherem 03 Jan '22

03 Jan '22

I've tried to implement some sort of affiliation description with local notes. I'd like them to be either in a single paragraph or in columns (e.g., 3), but the options `serried` or `n=3` don't seem to work for text notes (they do work for notes at the bottom). Any help would be much appreciated. ==== \definenote[afiliação]%[numberconversion=set 2] \setupnote[afiliação][ %paragraph=yes, rule=off, location=text, ] \setupnotation[afiliação][numberconversion=a, way=bypage, %location=text, %alternative=serried, % no effect alternative=hanging, width=fit, % broad %distance=.5em, %display=no ] % or set 1 % n=3 doesn’t work \starttext \startlocalnotes Author 1\afiliação{asdf} Author 2\afiliação{asdf} \dorecurse{5}{\afiliação{Nota explicativa.}} \placelocalnotes[afiliação] \stoplocalnotes \stoptext ====

\thanks inside author in section
by Youssef Cherem 03 Jan '22

03 Jan '22

I've tried to implement a journal-like footnote with the authors' affiliation for each section/chapter, by adapting things from the wiki here <https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Table_of_Contents#Author_in_ToC> and here <https://wiki.contextgarden.net/LaTeX_Thanks>. However, one thing that bugs me is that any note name I choose other than "thanks" does not work, and I have no clue why. Am I missing something, or is there a more elegant way to implement this? As an aside, I'd rather have the footnotes below the "thanks" notes. Is there any option that does this? \setuplist[section][ textcommand=\SectionTocEntry, after=\blank, ] \define[1]\SectionTocEntry{% \doifnot{\rawstructurelistuservariable{author}}{} {\start \it \structurelistuservariable{author}\stop\space-- \crlf}% #1% title \doifnot{\rawstructurelistuservariable{subtitle}}{} {\crlf\structurelistuservariable{subtitle}}} \setuphead[section][ after=\setup{section}, align=center, number=no, style=\bold ] \startsetups section \blank \midaligned{\it \structureuservariable{author}} \blank\stopsetups %\foonote{\structureuservariable{affiliation}} \definenote[thanks]%[numberconversion=set 2]\setupnote[thanks][rule=off]\setupnotation[thanks][numberconversion=set 2] % or set 1 %\setupnote[footnote][location=bottom] % does not work %% all notes, footnotes etc.\setupnotation[ alternative={left,bottom}, hang=fit, % if commented, hanging is larger indenting={yes,small},indentnext=yes, % please, indent everything, should be default ] \setupinteraction[state=start,color=black,contrastcolor=black] \setuphead[subject][align=flushleft,style=\bfb] \starttext \subject{Grande lista de autores} \placecontent[alternative=c] \startsection[title={Whatever}][author={A.

Dynamic document variables from metadata
by Thangalin 02 Jan '22

02 Jan '22

Happy New Year! How would you implement a mechanism that takes arbitrary XHTML <meta> tags and produces document variables? Consider: <meta name="journal" content="Nature" /> After running XML setups, the following would write "Nature": \documentvariable{journal} The tricky part is doing this without pre-defining them. Here's a short, self-contained example to help demonstrate: \startbuffer[xdoc] <html> <head> <meta content="Milena Marić Einstein" name="author"/> <meta content="Annalen der Physik" name="journal"/> </head> <body> </body> </html>\stopbuffer \startxmlsetups xml:xhtml \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{*}{-} \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{html|body}{xml:*} \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{head}{xml:meta}\stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:xhtml} \startxmlsetups xml:html % "author" is a special setup, not generalized \xmlfilter{#1}{/head/meta[@name='author']/command(xml:author)} % What goes here to make this dynamic? %\xmlfilter{#1}{/head/meta[@name='journal']/command(xml:journal)} \xmlflush{#1}\stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:author \setupdocument[author={\xmlatt{#1}{content}}] \setupdocument[metadata:author={\xmlatt{#1}{content}}] \setupinteraction[author={\documentvariable{author}}]\stopxmlsetups % How can this be generalized?%\startxmlsetups xml:journal %\setupdocument[journal={\xmlatt{#1}{content}}]%\stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:body \startdocument Author: \documentvariable{author} \par Journal: \documentvariable{journal} \stopdocument\stopxmlsetups \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{xdoc}{} Thank you!
