Straight Quotes / Curly Quotes
by Thangalin 18 Jun '21

18 Jun '21

I've written a Java-based lexer/parser that can convert straight quotes to curly quotes for English prose. It's a one-pass algorithm (O(n)) that uses neither look-behind nor regex. Here's a list of test cases it handles: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DaveJarvis/keenquotes/main/lib/src/test/r… A test harness converted several Project Gutenberg texts quite well. The folks at PG may be interested in using it themselves to help convert quotes in older texts en masse. The source code is MIT-licensed: https://github.com/DaveJarvis/keenquotes/ The code should port to Lua fairly easily, should anyone be interested in adding a straight/curly quotation mark conversion module to ConTeXt. (Similar to the LaTeX package, but without using regex.) Cheers everyone!

Fatal error: return code: 256 with documents in ConTeXt's distribution
by Nicola 18 Jun '21

18 Jun '21

I am trying to typeset some documents under tex/texmf-context/doc/context/sources with mixed results. I am using ConTeXt from TeX Live 2021, and the latest LMTX (just rsync'ed). Results vary: 1. Successful in both cases: $ /Library/TeX/texbin/mtxrun --script context --autogenerate mag-0000-mkiv.tex [...] system | total runtime: 5.074 seconds $ ~/context-osx-64/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/mtxrun --script context --autogenerate mag-0000-mkiv.tex [... $ system | total runtime: 3.323 seconds of 3.389 seconds 2. Fatal error with TeX Live vs apparently stuck with beta: $ /Library/TeX/texbin/mtxrun --script context --autogenerate mag-1104-mkiv.tex [...] mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 256 $ ~/context-osx-64/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/mtxrun --script context --autogenerate mag-1104-mkiv.tex [...] pages > flushing realpage 7, userpage 6, subpage 7 pages > flushing realpage 8, userpage 7, subpage 8 pages > flushing realpage 9, userpage 8, subpage 9 [Gets stuck at this point, with luametatex using 100% CPU] 3. Fatal error in both cases: $ /Library/TeX/texbin/mtxrun --script context --autogenerate mag-1102-mkiv.tex [...] mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 256 $ ~/context-osx-64/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/mtxrun --script context --autogenerate mag-1102-mkiv.tex [...] mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 256 4. Fatal error in TeX Live, successful with beta: $ /Library/TeX/texbin/mtxrun --script context --autogenerate metafun.tex [...] mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 256 $ ~/context-osx-64/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/mtxrun --script context --autogenerate metafun.tex [...] system | total runtime: 10.509 seconds of 10.569 seconds And so on. The above tests were done in two different terminal windows, with $PATH set accordingly. I have reported the full path to the executable for clarity. This is with Intel macOS. Is anyone able to reproduce these results? Or should I search for something wrong with my setup? Nicola

Hi all, I use this for legal documents: \setuplabeltext[section=§~] But I wonder if there is a named command like \letterhash for this. TIA juh

[#1] CJK regression? | lmtx-20210613 &c.

I'm wondering if there has been a regression in the rendering of CJK recently?

xtable as list item (again)
by Pablo Rodriguez 17 Jun '21

17 Jun '21

Dear list, I already posted a similar question some time ago (https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2021/101021.html) but I got no reply. I have the following sample: \showframe\showstruts \starttext \startitemize[n][margin=yes] \item a \item \startembeddedxtable[option={stretch, width}] \dorecurse{25}{\startxrow \startxcell \Characters{\recurselevel}\stopxcell \startxcell \characters{\recurselevel}\stopxcell \stopxrow} \stopembeddedxtable \item b \stopitemize \stoptext And I get two issues: 1. Item number in 2 is placed on the bottom of the xtable. I need it on the top of the xtable. 2. There is an extra horizontal space before the xtable. How can I get rid of it? (In my real-world document, the space before is huge. In any case, it misplaces the xtable.) Maybe my approach is wrong, but I need the xtable as part of a list (and I need it to strecht it horizontally). Does anyone know how to achieve this? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Natural tables | 2 tables in a page seem to interfere with each other?
by Ramkumar KB 17 Jun '21

17 Jun '21

Hi, I have 2 "natural tables" in one page and it appears that I have to (manually) reset the columns in the second table, for those columns that I had set specific width. See the example below - Maybe I am missing a trick or two - or this indeed is the desired behavior? Thank you very much. \setupTABLE[r][each][height=0.5cm,frame=on] \setupTABLE[c][each][width=0.6cm] \setupTABLE[r][1][height=0cm,topframe=off] \setupTABLE[c][1][width=5cm] \setupTABLE[c][4,7][width=3cm] \bTABLE ... \eTABLE \setupTABLE[r][each][height=1.3cm,topframe=on] \setupTABLE[c][each][width=1.7cm] \setupTABLE[c][1,4,7][width=1.7cm] %This is to reset from the previous Table \setupTABLE[r][1][height=0cm,topframe=off] \setupTABLE[c][2][width=0.3cm,frame=off] \bTABLE ... \eTABLE - Ramkumar

Project structure: Specifying environment in component
by mastermind_ x 16 Jun '21

16 Jun '21

Hello everyone, I am creating a project of notes across different areas of mathematics I am studying and the structure looks like this: env_notes.tex project_notes.tex geogroups/groups-prd_geometry-groups.tex geogroups/groups-c_chapter1.tex I am following this wiki: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Project_structure My question is: Why do I need to specify \environment env_notes before It works at the component level? The wiki didn’t say that. Plus it is already specified at the product level. Thanks. ~Jethro

Hi, When checking soem code I saw this (again): \definecolor[MyColor][t=.5,a=1,r=.5] \hpack\bgroup \framed[framecolor=MyColor,frame=on] {!!!!!!!!} \framed[framecolor=MyColor,frame=closed]{!!!!!!!!} \framed[framecolor=MyColor,frame=small] {!!!!!!!!} \egroup Just in case someone needs these subtle differerences (and then is doomed to wikify it).

\startplacetable[location=none] doesn't have a "Table X" label, but \startplacetable[location=force] does
by T. Kurt Bond 15 Jun '21

15 Jun '21

I've got three questions: 1. I've got a document with some xtables. If I use \startplacetable[location=none] the tables *don't* have a "Table X" label, but they float and end up in locations where I don't want them. If I use \startplacetable[location=force] the tables *do* have a "Table X" label (which I don't want), but the tables *do* show up where I want them, that is, they don't float. How do I get rid of the "Table X" label when I use \startplacetable[location=force]? 2. Also, when I constructed the example I used \startmode[locationforce] \startplacetable[location=force] \stopmode \startnotmode[locationforce] \startplacetable[location=none] \stopmode so I could build both outputs from the same input file. When the locationforce mode was *not* set the command finished with no errors, but when the locationforce mode *was* set the command finished with the error: tex error > tex error on line 229 in file ./table-location-label-wrong.ctx: The file ended when scanning an argument. however, when I used \doifmodeelse{locationforce}{\startplacetable[location=force]}{\startplacetable[location=none]} instead, it worked fine. 3. Even when I use the --noconsole option on my context invocation, there is a lot of information that is written to the console. It looks like the information is repeated for each run context makes over the file. Is there some way to get this information to show up in the log file, instead of on the console? ConTeXt's version information: ConTeXt ver: 2021.06.13 19:21 LMTX fmt: 2021.6.13 int: english/english. I've attached my example (table-location-label.ctx), the GNUmakefile I use to build it using --mode so that the same source produces both the version with location=force and location=none, and the two PDF output files ( table-location-label-none.pdf and table-location-label-force.pdf). I've also attached the version where I tried to use \startmode/\startnotmode (table-location-label-wrong.ctx). -- T. Kurt Bond, tkurtbond(a)gmail.com, https://tkurtbond.github.io
