Hello, running in circles I have to give up on such an easy thing as passing a tex variable to lua (knowing everything is stored in lua). \setvariable{test}{something}{HHHH} \starttext \getvariable{test}{something}\par % how to access the variable on lua end? \startluacode -- var = \stopluacode \stoptext Thank you, Jano

Unexpected underbar behaviour in sections
by Bruce Horrocks 25 Nov '20

25 Nov '20

The following is giving me a section title with triple underbars instead of single. \definehead [Heading] [section] \setuphead [Heading] [style={\underbar}] \starttext \Heading{First level section heading} \underbar{This is single underlined as expected} \stoptext (Same with \startHeading .. \stopHeading and for subsections, which is where I first noticed it.) It looks quite attractive in its own way - and certainly acts as a visual highlight - just not quite what I was expecting. ;-) version 2020.11.24 00:41 -- Bruce Horrocks Hampshire, UK

startCSV Wiki, Natural Table
by Fabrice L 24 Nov '20

24 Nov '20

Hi, I was using in the past (MKII) a snippet of code to produce (natural) tables from CSV. I was trying to compile my code with MKIV, but this does not work anymore. As a matter of fact, it doe snot work at all, nor MKII, nor MKIV (probably my error !). So I came back to the wiki, where my code came from, and the code below is just a copy for the wiki. It is supposed to make a table with three columns, but there is only one column in the resulting table… I admit I do not understand the code, but is there is missing \eTR somewhere ? Thanks for any help. Fabrice. Ps: in case someone is interested, I use this to produce statistical tables for teaching. I can share.. ! % ------------------------------------------------------ \starttext % Iterate over all the lines of text captured with \obeylines active % command to call is first argument, is not called for empty lines \bgroup \obeylines \gdef\ProcessLines#1#2{\doProcessLines{#1}#2^^M\doProcessLines}% \gdef\doProcessLines#1#2^^M#3\doProcessLines{% \doifnotempty{#2}{#1{#2}}% \doifnotempty{#3}{\doProcessLines{#1}#3\doProcessLines}% }% \egroup \def\startCSV{\bgroup\obeylines\dostartCSV} \def\TBLentry#1{\bTD#1\eTD} \def\TBLline#1{\bTR\processcommalist[#1]\TBLentry} \def\dostartCSV#1\stopCSV{% \bTABLE \ProcessLines\TBLline{#1}% \eTABLE \egroup } % some additional settings for the table may be made as well \setupTABLE[c][2][style=\tt] \setupTABLE[c][3][align=middle] \setupTABLE[r][1][style=bold] \startCSV Name,Email,Accepted \CONTEXT,worth(a)trying.to,Yes Hans,main(a)developer.of,Yes Bug,get(a)rid.of,No \stopCSV \stoptext

LMTX and descriptions
by Jean-Philippe Rey 24 Nov '20

24 Nov '20

Dear list, I am switching from MLIV to LMTX and I've found a problem with descriptions. Here is an example of the problem. ============================== \definedescription[D] \starttext \D{Label} description % Label is not printed \startD{Label} % OK, but pb with the following table description \stopD \bTABLE \bTR \bTH Label \eTH % The first line is located on the left at the bottom of the table, TD works OK. \eTR\bTR \bTD value \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext ============================== The short syntax "\D{Label} description" doesn't print "Label" at all. The syntax with \start, \stop works fine but has a nasty effect on the next TABLE if it uses TH (check attached pdf). Thank you for your help PS @Hans, thanks for adding \TB to \startcases, it works perfectly well. -- Jean-Philippe Rey jean-philippe.rey(a)centralesupelec.fr 91192 Gif-sur-Yvette Cedex - France Empreinte PGP : 807A 5B2C 69E4 D4B5 783A 428A 1B5E E83E 261B BF51

This worked for me a couple of versions ago but not under 2020.11.24 00:41.

issue with links
by Pablo Rodriguez 24 Nov '20

24 Nov '20

Dear list, this MWE shows that links may be misbehaving again: \setupindenting[yes, always, big] \setupinteraction[state=start] \enabledirectives[references.border] \unexpanded\def\MyURL#1% {\bgroup\goto{{\tt\hyphenatedurl{#1}}}[url(#1)]\egroup} \starttext \dorecurse{10}{word } \MyURL{https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=183423} \stoptext Could anyone confirm this? I experienced it first with the LMTX release from yesterday. MkIV (from 2020.01.30 14:13) doesn’t seem to be affected by this issue. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Subfigures, referencing and resetting counter
by Marco Patzer 23 Nov '20

23 Nov '20

Hi! I struggle with referencing subfigures. Combinations can't be referenced to my knowledge, that's why I went with another float for the inner subfigure. Example: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \useMPlibrary[dum] \definefloat [subfigure] [subfigures] [figure] \setupcaptions [subfigure] [numberconversion=characters, numberstopper=)] \setuplabeltext [subfigure=] \definecounter [subfigure] [way=bytext] \starttext \startplacefigure [title=First, reference=first] \startfloatcombination [nx=2, ny=1] \startplacesubfigure \externalfigure \stopplacesubfigure \startplacesubfigure [reference=fig:firstsub] \externalfigure \stopplacesubfigure \stopfloatcombination \stopplacefigure \startplacefigure [title=Second, reference=second] \startfloatcombination [nx=2, ny=1] \startplacesubfigure \externalfigure \stopplacesubfigure \startplacesubfigure [title=beta, reference=fig:secondsub] \externalfigure \stopplacesubfigure \stopfloatcombination \stopplacefigure See \in{figure}[first], \in{figure}[fig:firstsub] and \in{figure}[fig:secondsub]. \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% How to reset the counter for the subfigure to start anew for each new figure? The second issue is the referencing of subfigures. The MWE shows “figure b)” and “figure d)” rather than “figure 1b)” and “figure 2b)”. How to include the outer float counter in the reference? Marco

Adding Custom PDF Property
by Ramkumar KB 23 Nov '20

23 Nov '20

Hello List, I am looking for a way to add custom PDF properties to the document. >From the docs, I can see how to add standard properties (a.k.a headers) like Title, Author, Subtitle and Keywords - https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Interaction#PDF_Headers But I would like to add my own custom Name-Value properties (similar to what ConTeXt, by default, adds like `ConTeXt.Url=www.pragma-ade.com` when I open the document in Adobe Reader). Thank you for the help, best regards,
