Writing the caption above figures in combinations
by Otared Kavian 01 Jun '20

01 Jun '20

Hi all, Is it possible to write the individual captions for each element of a combination of floats above it, while the caption for the figure appears below? \startplacefigure[title={A combination of three figures}] % this title appears below the figure \startcombination[3*1] {\externalfigure[image-1.pdf][width=4cm]}{a} % a appears above image-1 {\externalfigure[image-2.pdf][width=4cm]}{b} % b appears above image-2 {\externalfigure[image-3.pdf][width=4cm]}{c} % c appears above image-3 \stopcombination}{} \stopplacefigure I tried to define a new float, say myfigure, which has captions below and then I tried \setupcaptions[location=top] and \setupcombinations[location=top] but this does not work… Thanks for any help: Otared

background of \typing fills column
by Henning Hraban Ramm 01 Jun '20

01 Jun '20

Hi, I finally wanted to attack CG journal 2019 again and stumble upon this error: If an article contains several \starttyping ... \stoptyping examples with a textbackground, it sometimes fills the whole column (pagecolumns). It doesn’t occur if the "typing" is at top or bottom of the column or even breaks. It’s the same with MkIV and LMTX. I’ll try to come up with a MWE, but perhaps you already know what’s wrong? Here’s the PDF: https://sedna.fiee.net/f/a75380127d7b4f17a940/ Best, Hraban

status of t-rst
by Saša Janiška 01 Jun '20

01 Jun '20

Hello, yesterday when browsing new ConTeXt site (yay!!) I found about the existance of 't-rst' to be used for typesetting files written in reST markup. However the referenced web site (https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-rst/src/default/) shows last activity 6yrs ago, so wonder if it is still relevent today or obsolete? The static-site-generator (Nikola) which I use for web stuff has good support for rst markup, so just wonder(ed) if I could continue using it for short stuff which *might* become typeset with ConTeXt one day? Nikola does support using Markdown markup as well and it's usually possible to do rst --> md by e.g. using Markdown, but just wonder... Sincerely, Gour -- He who is satisfied with gain which comes of its own accord, who is free from duality and does not envy, who is steady in both success and failure, is never entangled, although performing actions.

MKIV to LMTX (enumerations)
by Weber, Matthias 31 May '20

31 May '20

Dear List, After staying with a frozen MKIV version for time-critical work for a while, I took the plunge and ran one of my longer math-heavy documents through LMTX. To my delight, it mostly looks fine or trivially fixable. There is one problem I have with enumerations. The spacing between them in LMTX is notoriously smaller than in MKIV. I bet there is a parameter I can set to tweak that? Below is a MWE with output for both engines. Thanks! Matthias

Unicode chars and \insertpages (Win7)
by Pablo Rodriguez 31 May '20

31 May '20

Dear list, I have the following sample: \startext \insertpages[ξ_file.pdf] \stoptext Using latest on Linux, it works perfectly fine. On Windows (I’m still on Win7), it doesn’t work unless I replace "ξ" with an ASCII character. Could this be fixed or is it really a limiatation of Windows? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Bar within math
by context＠vivaldi.net 30 May '20

30 May '20

Hello, it seems that bar (even with option 'continue=yes') is not rendered in place of '~' within math. See the sample: ---- \definebar[MyBar][color=green,rulethickness=2.8,order=background,offset=1.5,continue=yes] \starttext 1 + 2 = \startbar[MyBar]3~kN\stopbar $1 + 2 = \startbar[MyBar]3~\text{kN}\stopbar$ \stoptext ---- In the sample 'kN' is a unit, which should be separated by space from the result (here: 3); I am used to put the unit into the math environment and enclose it into \text{...}. Is there a way to make the bar be rendered in places of blanks within math, too (like if it was inside $ ... $ - as the first line of the sample)? Or is there a better way to add an unbroken background to a (part of) math expression followed by a text (unit)? Best regards, Lukas

A simpler way to install LMTX in macOS Catalina
by Nicola 30 May '20

30 May '20

Today I wanted to try LMTX and I have found these instructions in the wiki: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Installing_ConTeXt_LMTX_on_MacOS Rather than disabling SIP, I have proceeded as follows: 1. Download macOS's version of LMTX from https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Installation 2. Unpack 3. cd context-osx-64 4. xattr -d com.apple.quarantine bin/mtxrun 5. sh ./install.sh Point 4 is important to avoid the dialog "mtxrun cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified." Of course, it would be better if the binary were signed... Nicola

Math delimiters across math alignment environments
by Jairo A. del Rio 29 May '20

29 May '20

Hi dear list! I have a question about the use of delimiters. There are commands as \left ... \right which allow delimiters of variable size, but they are usually asymmetrical. AFAIK, ConTeXt has mechanisms of the form \definemathfence[something][something][command=yes]. My question is: is it possible to make math fences work in a math alignment, e.g. \definemathfence[something][brace][command=yes] \startformula \startmathalignment[n=2,align={middle,middle}] %This won't work (I didn't expected to work, anyway) \NC \NC \something{\frac{1}{2} + \NR \NC \NC x} \NR \stopmathalignment \stopformula so that the fences are the same size? Thank you in advance. Stay safe. Jairo <3

Checking existence of a macro (control sequence) by Lua
by context＠vivaldi.net 29 May '20

29 May '20

Hello, is it possible to check whether a macro exists (or - is it a non-\undefined control sequence) with Lua? Suppose: ---- \starttext \def\MyMacro{Ahoj} \def\MyMac#1#2{Something} \startluacode IsDefined = function(ctl_seq) print("CS " .. ctl_seq .. (tex.IsCS(ctl_seq) -- Or what to come here? "is defined" or "is unknown") .. ".") end -- So the function should print to the console: IsDefined("MyMacro") --> "CS MyMacro is defined." IsDefined("MyMac") --> "CS MyMac is defined." IsDefined("bf") --> "CS bf is defined." IsDefined("dummy") --> "CS dummy is unknown." \stopluacode \stoptext ---- Is it possible? Best regards, Lukas
