how to set overprint
by Jano Kula 30 Oct '20

30 Oct '20

Hello, whatever I try, I cannot get the overprinting right (checked in Output Preview of Acrobat). Even overprint-001.tex from the test suite (2020-09-19) doesn't seem to have it right (latest beta). What I'm missing here? \setupcolors[intent=overprint] \startTEXpage[offset=10mm] \framed[frame=on,offset=10mm, background=color,backgroundcolor=darkgreen]{ % \startcolorintent[overprint] \startoverprint text in black \stopoverprint % \stopcolorintent } \stopTEXpage Thank you, Jano

Hi all, Does anyone know if it is possible to input unicode in math formulas in LMTX with the help of something similar to unicode-math in LaTeX? Best, Sylvain

invoking ConTeXt from .bat file in Win7
by Pablo Rodriguez 28 Oct '20

28 Oct '20

Dear list, I have the following sample: \mainlanguage[es] \setupbodyfont[dejavu] \starttext %~ \startmode[*last] \startluacode io.write("¿Cuál es el mensaje? ") document.message = io.read() \stopluacode %~ \stopmode El mensaje es: \cldcontext{document.message} \stoptext I have two questions about it. How can I invoke an extra run (as mentioned at http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/mmodes.pdf#search=last) to be able to use the *last mode in the code above? The other question is that the sample above works fine in Linux. I guess macOS would be also fine. But in Windows (Win7 in my case), I get garbage for "¿". "chcp 65001" in the .bat file doesn’t make any difference. How can I get non-ASCII chars displayed right? (Echoing UTF-8 characters in the same batch file works perfectly right.) Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

xtable row number trouble
by Oleg 28 Oct '20

28 Oct '20

Hi, all. I try to place a row number into the first column of my table. I tried: \definecounter[rownum][way=bytext,prefix=no] \setcounter[rownum][0] \starttext \startxtable \startxrow \startxcell \incrementcounter[rownum] \rawcounter[rownum] \stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell \incrementcounter[rownum] \rawcounter[rownum] \stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell \incrementcounter[rownum] \rawcounter[rownum] \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable And got: 7 8 9 If i place \setcounter[rownum][0] right after \startxtable, then i got: 1 2 3 Is this normal? I tried: \newcount\rownumd \rownumd = 0 \starttext \startxtable \startxrow \startxcell \advance\rownumd by 1 \the\rownumd \stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell \advance\rownumd by 1 \the\rownumd \stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell \advance\rownumd by 1 \the\rownumd \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable And got: 1 1 1 Can anybody help? -- Олег Неманов (Oleg Nemanov)

Which version of MkIV should we use?
by Rik Kabel 28 Oct '20

28 Oct '20

Hello all, I have noticed some differences between the MkIV installed as part of LMTX and the MkIV installed via first-setup. Which should be used going forward when one wants to use MkIV? (One difference: \contextkind is defined in file context.mkiv installed via first-setup. It is not defined in the file of the same name installed as part of LMTX. Another, more significant difference, is loading modules.) -- Rik

troubles with cutafter
by Damien Thiriet 27 Oct '20

27 Oct '20

Hello, I went into some troubles with cutafter. Must have missed something obvious. \starttext \startMPpage path p[]; p1:= origin -- (100,0); p2:= (50,-50) -- (50,100); draw p1; draw p2; draw (p1 cutafter (p1 intersectionpoint p2)) withcolor red; \stopMPpage \stoptext Can someone explain me why the whole path p1 of this MWE is in red? I expected only its first half to be in red, and the whole line is. Thanks, Damien Thiriet

Bug(s)(?) in \processwords (Mark IV)
by Jairo A. del Rio 27 Oct '20

27 Oct '20

The following: \starttext \unexpanded\def\lol#1% { \begingroup \let\processword\inframed \processwords{#1}% \endgroup } \lol{nice $x^2$} %see what happens with the superscript \stoptext works with ConTeXt LMTX, but fails with ConTeXt MkIV: ...mtx/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/attr-ini.lua:144: attempt to call a nil value (upvalue 'currentattributes') stack traceback: ...mtx/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/attr-ini.lua:144: in function <...mtx/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/attr-ini.lua:142> (...tail calls...) In both cases, including inline math gives funny outputs. Regards, Jairo :)

Re: [NTG-context] Fw: statistical charts (was: Changing the colors of Charts in luametafun)
by Tamara Kocurova 26 Oct '20

26 Oct '20

Hi Jan, Thank you for noticing! Probably the fastest way to fix this would be making the dots more dense. We will add a parameter for that in the near future (it is also possible to add it directly to the code). Best, Tamara ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: "Jan U.

MkIV and LMTX difference in comma list expansion
by Rik Kabel 26 Oct '20

26 Oct '20

Hello list, Another difference, perhaps the result of my lack of knowledge, but a difference. The following example produces different results for the fourth sequence, with the index being passed one item under MkIV and two items under LMTX. (The code is stripped out of a much more complex bit to show the issue.) % macros=mkvi \starttexdefinition unexpanded startBlockQuotation \dosingleempty\dostartBlockQuotation \stoptexdefinition \starttexdefinition dostartBlockQuotation [#SETUPS] \getrawparameters[BlockQuotation] [index=,#SETUPS] \expandafter\processcommalist \expandafter[\BlockQuotationindex]\doIndexIt{} \stoptexdefinition \starttexdefinition stopBlockQuotation \stoptexdefinition \starttexdefinition doIndexIt #INDEXTERM indexer sees #INDEXTERM\ \index{#INDEXTERM} \stoptexdefinition \starttext \startBlockQuotation[index=aaa] \startparagraph 1 \quad when indexing aaa. \stopparagraph \stopBlockQuotation \startBlockQuotation[index={aab}] \startparagraph 2 \quad when indexing \{aab\}. \stopparagraph \stopBlockQuotation \startBlockQuotation[index={aac, aad}] \startparagraph 3 \quad when indexing \{aac, aad\}. \stopparagraph \stopBlockQuotation \startBlockQuotation[index={{aae, aaf}}] \startparagraph 4 \quad when indexing \{\{aae, aaf\}\}. \stopparagraph \stopBlockQuotation \startBlockQuotation[index={{{aag, aah}}}] \startparagraph 5 \quad when indexing \{\{\{aag, aah\}\}\}. \stopparagraph \stopBlockQuotation \startBlockQuotation[index={{aai, aaj},{aak, aal}}] \startparagraph 6 \quad when indexing \{\{aai, aaj\},\{aak, aal\}\}. \stopparagraph \stopBlockQuotation \startBlockQuotation[index={{{aam, aan}},{{aao, aap}}}] \startparagraph 7 \quad when indexing \{\{\{aam, aan\}\},\{\{aao, aap\}\}\}. \stopparagraph \stopBlockQuotation \placeindex \stoptext Did I misuse the comma list processing, or is this a bug? -- Rik

marvosym on the wiki
by Mojca Miklavec 26 Oct '20

26 Oct '20

Hi, Someone asked me a question about marvosym In LaTeX (I just pointed him to the documentation), but then I checked the wiki and noticed that the wiki page is showing latin modern for \showfont[fmvr8x] https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Symbols/mvs What would be the correct syntax for the wiki nowadays? Thank you, Mojca
