Blank line after \item: MkIV vs LMTX and how to properly get rid of it
by Vladimir Lomov 30 Sep '21

30 Sep '21

Hello. Consider the following small example: ------------------------------------ 8< -------------------------------------- \starttext \startitemize[n] \item \input tufte \item \placefigure[right,none]{}{\externalfigure[cow]}% \input tufte \item \blank[overlay]% \placefigure[right,none]{}{\externalfigure[cow]}% \input tufte \stopitemize \startitemize[n,intext] \item \input tufte \item \placefigure[right,none]{}{\externalfigure[cow]}% \input tufte \item \blank[overlay]% \placefigure[right,none]{}{\externalfigure[cow]}% \input tufte \stopitemize \stoptext ------------------------------------ 8< -------------------------------------- I see a difference in MkIV and LMTX work: - MkIV always put a blank line despite '\blank[overlay]' command; - with \blank[overlay] and 'intext' option LMTX clutters item label (number in this case). Q1: is this the expected behavior for MkIV and LMTX? I found a recipe with \blank[overlay] in the mailing list. Q2: is it expected that LMTX will clutter item label when I use \blank[overlay]? I suspect the answer is "yes" due to the option name. Q3: how to prevent blank line insertion in such case: an item with text framing a picture (on right side or on left side but the picture is below the item label)? --- WBR, Vladimir Lomov -- Without freedom of choice there is no creativity. -- Kirk, "The return of the Archons", stardate 3157.4

\hyphenatedurl
by jbf 30 Sep '21

30 Sep '21

At the moment \hyphenatedurl is not working for me in the latest LMTX but is in MkIV. Am I the only one experiencing this? I am aware that I am using a rather special typeface (Atkinson Hyperlegible) but am not sure if that would cause a problem... it doesn't for MkIV. Julian

Hi, Due to domain transfer issues (provider quits services) there is the possibility that the coming days the pragma-ade.com address fails. The pragma-ade.nl and other addresses are okay, If all works well the installer handles fallbacks. Eventually the context garden will also have the files.

special case of hskip...?
by jbf 29 Sep '21

29 Sep '21

In just one instance I would like the following to work differently: \startchapter[title={Introduction\\Disability and marginalisation},list={Introduction:\crlf Disability and marginalisation}]. That gives me: Introduction: Disability and marginalisation But I would like to have: Introduction: Disability and marginalisation Is there some way I can provide a space (whose amount I can determine specifically) after the \crlf in list={}? Effectively I am trying to provide a space at the beginning of a line, and I know I can't use \indentation or similar here. I may have to do it back at the preamble level by setting up a different kind of \setuphead, but I was hoping that in just this one case I could do it inside the existing setup. Julian

flushlayer
by Bruce Horrocks 28 Sep '21

28 Sep '21

Latest LMTX. I noticed the following \flushlayer behaviour and wondered if it was a bug or something I've misunderstood? \showframe \setuppapersize [A5][A5] \setuplayout[marking=on, location=middle] \definelayer[coverlayer] [width=\paperwidth, height=\paperheight] \setupbackgrounds [paper] [background=coverlayer,state=start ] \starttext \setlayerframed [coverlayer] [width=60mm,height=60mm,hoffset=0mm,voffset=0mm] [frame=on] {Some framed text top left of paper}% Hello world. %\flushlayer[coverlayer] \stoptext The above works as expected: the framed text is at the top left of the paper. But if I change the last three lines to: %Hello world. \flushlayer[coverlayer] \stoptext (i.e. swap around the 'commenting out') then the framed text moves to the top left of the text area not the paper. Is this intended? — Bruce Horrocks Hampshire, UK

manual hyphenation LMTX
by jbf 28 Sep '21

28 Sep '21

I may have seen a response to this at some stage in the list, but I cannot find it. \- works for manual hyphenation in Mkiv but not (for me at least) in LMTX. My general setting is \setupalign [hz, nothyphenated,stretched,verytolerant] because I am typesetting a book for visually-impaired readers using Atkinson Hyperlegible, especially developed by the Braille Foundation. In general, hyphenation is not recommended for the visually-impaired, but just occasionally it becomes necessary. Is there a reason for LMTX is not accepting \- or is there another way to achieve it in LMTX? Julian

Invalid conversion specification
by Marcus Vinicius Mesquita 28 Sep '21

28 Sep '21

Dear list, The command in the last line of p. 66 of the fonts-mkiv.pdf file: mtxrun --script font --list --info --pattern=pagella throws a lua error: function call: invalid conversion specification: '% -8s' I'm on a linux64 platform using: current version: 2021.09.26 17:00 Marcus Vinicius -- Todas as coisas fatigam o corpo, salvo a música, que não fatiga nem o corpo nem seus membros, por ser descanso da alma, primavera do coração, distração do aflito, entretenimento do solitário, e viático do viajante.

Getting Textadept to open pdf?
by jbf 27 Sep '21

27 Sep '21

The occasional response to a similar question can be found, e.g. on stackexchange, but none of the responses work for me. Textadept is very fast at compiling (and does compile correctly). I can certainly open the pdf independently in various pdf viewers, but I cannot get Textadept to automatically open, say, Okular (installed on Linux Mint), at the end of the process. The last part of the log reads: mkiv lua stats > runtime: 0.640 seconds, 8 processed pages, 8 shipped pages, 12.492 pages/second mtx-context | pdfview methods: auto default okular pdfxcview sumatra, current method: okular (directives_pdfview_method) pdfview | command: okular --unique "test1.pdf" 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null & mtx-context | pdfview overhead: 0.001 seconds system | total runtime: 0.649 seconds of 0.701 seconds > exit status: 0 Have tried setting up a custom text editor on okular with: /home/me/.textadept "%f" -e textadept.editing.goto_line(%l-1), as suggested by one response, but to no avail. Current version of ConTeXt is 2021.09.17 10:01 Anyone tried Textadept successfully and might have a suggestion? Julian

\placeinitial to account for quotation mark
by Thangalin 26 Sep '21

26 Sep '21

Hi list, The following example shows a lettrine that stylizes a quotation mark: \setuphead[chapter][ after={\placeinitial}, page=no, ] \starttext\chapter{Harriet Tubman} "Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.\chapter{Eleanor Roosevelt} Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.\stoptext Without changing the text itself, how would you make the lettrine stylize the E in Every while making the quotation mark retain the body font (i.e., much smaller and hang to the left, possibly protruding into the margin)? For reference: https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/609544/2148 Thank you!
