How to get enumerated tables to line up with the left edge of text?
by Joel 27 Dec '24

27 Dec '24

I created this simple example to show, when I add enumerations to my tables, its indenting the content. How can I stop this indentation from happening? I want the numbering to be consistent with the other numbers in my document, not indented. --Joel Example below: \starttext \input knuth % notice that the numbers line up with the text to the left \startitemize[n] \startitem test\stopitem \startitem test2\stopitem \stopitemize \input knuth % notice that the text in this table lines up with the text to the left \starttabulate[|p|p|p|] \NC test \NC info \NC details \NC\NR \NC test 2 \NC info \NC details \NC\NR \stoptabulate \input knuth % notice the numbering is indented from the left, no longer lines up \startitemize[n] \starttabulate[|p|p|p|] \NI test \NC info \NC details \NC\NR \NI test 2 \NC info \NC details \NC\NR \stoptabulate \stopitemize \input knuth \stoptext

Why isn't font changing inside tabulate environment?
by Joel 27 Dec '24

27 Dec '24

I need to make a symbol, checkmark, appear inside a table. It is from a different font. If I use this, it displays the checkmark in the document: {\switchtobodyfont[garamondsymbols, 12 pt]✔} But inside a tabulate environment, it stops displaying the checkmark. Is there any solution for this? \starttabulate[|p|p|]\NC{\switchtobodyfont[garamondsymbols, 12 pt]✔} \NC \NC\NR\stoptabulate --Joel

[ extra line in last tabulate column ]
by vm 24 Dec '24

24 Dec '24

if the last column of a tabulate table is a paragraph, an extra blank line is added at the top, making the last column not align. adding data in the last (non) paragraph column, will make them top align correctly. 8<--- \starttext \starttabulate[|p|p|p|l|][width=\textwidth, split=yes,margin=2mm, align=right] \dorecurse{3}{ \dorecurse{3}{ \NC Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adip iscing elit. Curabitur massa turpis, semper quis fringilla ut, viverra nec risus. }% <<< no data here \AR } \stoptabulate \page \starttabulate[|p|p|p|l|][width=\textwidth, split=yes,margin=2mm, align=right] \dorecurse{3}{ \dorecurse{3}{ \NC Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adip iscing elit.

playing with dates
by Pablo Rodriguez 23 Dec '24

23 Dec '24

Dear list, I would like to be able to design some calendars. Is there any way to have a command (Lua or ConTeXt) that can increase or decrease a given date by days (something like \nextday or \previousday). I have tried \date and \increment or \decrement, as shown in the wiki: \starttext Today is \currentdate. \dorecurse{25} {\increment\normalday} Tomorrow will be \currentdate. \decrement\normalday %\increment\normalmonth% -- gives an error \increment\normalyear And today in a year will be \currentdate. \stoptext But the main problem is that I end up having the improbable day of December 41st, 2024 (with \decrement\normalday, it would read -9th). Besides, \normalmonth cannot be incremented or decremented (although this would be useless for me). Is there any way to get a command that can increment or decrement by days a given date? Many thanks for your help, Pablo

log messages with logs.reporter
by Henning Hraban Ramm 21 Dec '24

21 Dec '24

Hi, is it configurable which log messages are shown in the console output or in the log file? Because, with local report = logs.reporter("DOWNSAMPLE") I can see my messages in console output but not in the log file. That’s a bit unfortunate for debugging. Hraban

using the \externalfigure option orientation i noticed a difference between orientation=-90 orientation=270 whereas orientation=90 orientation=-270 are identical (as they should) \starttext \startcombination[4 * 2] {\externalfigure[top.jpg][width=40mm, orientation=0]}{0} {\externalfigure[top.jpg][width=40mm, orientation=90]}{90} {\externalfigure[top.jpg][width=40mm, orientation=180]}{180} {\externalfigure[top.jpg][width=40mm, orientation=270]}{270} {\externalfigure[top.jpg][width=40mm, orientation=0]}{0} {\externalfigure[top.jpg][width=40mm, orientation=-90]}{-90} {\externalfigure[top.jpg][width=40mm, orientation=-180]}{-180} {\externalfigure[top.jpg][width=40mm, orientation=-270]}{-270} \stopcombination

Vertical space between section and subsection.
by Jeong Dal 19 Dec '24

19 Dec '24

Hi, I use the following code to make a class material. When I use \startcolumns … \stopcolumns, the vertical space between section title and subsection title so big. 1. Is there a way to reduce the vertical space between them? 2. Is there a way to make section command simpler? Thank you for reading. Best regards, Dalyoung \startbuffer[styleOutline] \startuseMPgraphic{outlineT} draw lmt_outline [ text = \MPvar{tt}, kind = "both", width = OverlayWidth, align = "middle", fillcolor = "gray", rulethickness = 1pt, drawcolor = "dBlue" ] ; \stopuseMPgraphic \define[1]\outlineTitle{\useMPgraphic{outlineT}{tt="#1"}} \setuphead[chapter,title] [textcommand=\outlineTitle, textstyle=\BigFontThree, numberstyle=\BigFontThree, numbercommand=\outlineTitle, align=middle,%flushright, number=yes] \define[2]\SectionCommand% {\framed [frame=off, width=\textwidth, align={right}, background=color, backgroundcolor=lightgray] {\hbox to.011\textwidth{}\hbox to.05\textwidth{\strut#1}\quad \vtop{\hsize\dimexpr\hsize-.061\textwidth-1em\relax\begstrut#2 \endstrut}}} \setuphead[section][command=\SectionCommand,numbercolor=, style=\ss\bf] \setuphead[subsection][command=,style=\ss\bf]%%%%%%%%% \stopbuffer \getbuffer[styleOutline] \showframe \starttext \startcolumns \section{First} \subsection{firstsub} \dorecurse{3}{\samplefile{knuth}} \section{Second} \subsection{secondsub} \dorecurse{3}{\samplefile{ward}} \stopcolumns \stoptext

[ pdf images upside down in firefox ]
by vm 19 Dec '24

19 Dec '24

This is most likely an issue with firefox, but i noticed that when i create a file with z serie of images, the pdf shows correct in my local gnome document viewer (42.3) but when I vew the same file in firefox, for some unknow reasom the images are upside down. When I download the pdf, then view it with the local document viewer, the images are correct. When I drag the pdf into firefox, the turn upside down again. Is it related to the orientation option in the \externalfigure command that is not recognized by firefox? this is the code I use to place the images on the page: 8<--- \def\zzz#1{ \startTEXpage \externalfigure[2024/12/small/#1.JPG][width=\textwidth,orientation=180] \blank[10mm] \startcombination[3*1] {\externalfigure[2024/12/thumbs/#1a.JPG][width=0.316\textwidth,orientation=90]}{} {\externalfigure[2024/12/thumbs/#1b.JPG][width=0.316\textwidth,orientation=90]}{} {\externalfigure[2024/12/thumbs/#1c.JPG][width=0.316\textwidth,orientation=90]}{} \stopcombination \setcounter[userpage][\pagenumber+1] \stopTEXpage } \starttext \zzz{IMG_8616} \zzz{IMG_8617} ... \stoptext --->8

On the use of btx datasets to manage images and plots
by marco.riggirello.98＠gmail.com 19 Dec '24

19 Dec '24

Dear all, since this is my first post on the mailing lists, let me make a small preamble: after years of LaTeX experience I decided in May to give ConTeXt a try. The journey has been extremely pleasant up to now, so I want to thank all the contributors to this project for making such a great piece of software. Now, let's dig into the topic: I'm a PhD student in High Energy Physics (HEP) and my typical work include producing lot of plots and then presenting them in various meetings, comparing my results with existing ones present in the literature. Tipically, many plots and figures are re-used in different meetings and they might end up in the final thesis. My current workflow is just copying in different directories these (mostly vector) images and copying the caption between different tex sources. This workflow clearly scales very bad, and I would like to exploit all the goodies of the ConTeXt dataset machinery. In the Bibliografies manual it is mentioned that one can use datasets to manage images as well [1]. My case however is (slightly) more complicated than the one showed in the manual. What I would like to have is four databases: - a bibliography dataset; - an "others' figure" dataset, with all the images I took from the references. This means that in some way in the caption I would like to cite the references included in the bibliography dataset; - a "own figures" dataset, with the plots I produced with external programs; - a "metafun figures" dataset, pointing at the metafun code corresponding to some diagram. In my idea, for each figure dataset the \placebtxrendering should plot the figure with the right label to refer to in the main text and the right caption. (Clearly for the metafun dataset it should not include the pdf of the diagrams but instead compile the metafun code). In this way, I could create a single ConTeXt project with different products for different presentations, posters and other documents. Do you think this workflow can be implemented in ConTeXt? If so, how? Is btx the right tool for the job? I hope I was clear, and sorry if I was not. Thanks in advance for the help. Cheers MR [1] https://www.pragma-ade.nl/general/manuals/mkiv-publications.pdf#%5B%7B%22nu…
