Dangerous bend metafont/post code?
by Gerben Wierda 28 May '20

28 May '20

To honour Donald Knuth, I’ve use his ‘dangerous bend’ (with attribution of course) in one of my publications. But I only had a low res image. Is the code of this symbol available somewhere so I can do it proper justice in a next edition? G

issue with environment and Lua
by Pablo Rodriguez 27 May '20

27 May '20

Dear list, I have added an \xmlflushcontext to a non-minimal environment file and it crashes again and again. I get the following errors: lua error > lua error on line 8 in file cont-yes.mkiv: function call [560]: ...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/lxml-tex.lua:918: bad argument #2 to 'lpegmatch' (string expected, got table) <empty file> mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 256 Is there any way to be able to know which XML code outputs a table instead of the string ConTeXt expects and complaints about? I already spent three hours and I got nothing. In cases like that, it would be useful that ConTeXt could translate XML + environments to ConTeXt sources. This would make easier to spot errors on documents or issues in ConTeXt. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Change hyphenation mark
by Marc Trius 27 May '20

27 May '20

Hi, I would like to use a different hyphenation mark (־, U+05be) in Yiddish, as it is the standard in that language. It's my understanding from reading the wiki that this is currently impossible—I am wondering if there is a hack that could accomplish this. Thank you, Marc Trius

Proper presentations with stepping
by Thomas Welter 26 May '20

26 May '20

The presentation examples with stepping always seem to lack page and section numbers because \incrementcounter gets fired on every stepping iteration. For that I adjusted a few lines in spresent-steps.mkiv. You can see an (scientifically-styled) example presentation here: https://github.com/WelterDevelopment/present-steps-context Also I would like to propagate the idea of removing the sectioning heads from the page content and move them to the page header. This does simplify a lot of issues in (non-javascript) stepped presentations: \setuphead[section,subsection][page=yes, placehead=empty] \setupheadertexts[{\getmarking[sectionnumber] \getmarking[section] -- \getmarking[subsectionnumber] \getmarking[subsection]}][] Maybe something like this can be added as a new example presentation in texmf-context\doc\context\presentations\examples because the current present-steps-001 is a little too minimal. If you have any ideas to automate the prevention of auto-incrementing the counters for floats and equations, please don't hesitate to commit changes. Kind regards, Thomas

\setupbackend in MkIV
by Rik Kabel 25 May '20

25 May '20

I cannot get a PDF/A document produced with the latest MkIV beta 2020.05.18 16:46 (LMTX works without issue). Using the example from the wiki (https://wiki.contextgarden.net/PDF/A) I get the error stating: <inserted text> ... \p_file {\backendparameter {xmpfile}}\ifempty \p_file \else \clf_setxmpf... \setup_backend ...end [#1]\the \everysetupbackend l.11 ...ISO coated v2 300\letterpercent\space (ECI)] mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 1 Removing either of the \setupbackend instructions still results in the same error. Same issue for PDF/X. Is it a bug, or is it me? -- Rik

About Latex compatibility module
by Jairo A. del Rio 25 May '20

25 May '20

Hi everyone! I was reading some old posts on TeX.SX about LaTeX support on ConTeXt and I found the following: https://web.archive.org/web/20110822085249/https://modules.contextgarden.ne… However, not only the module seems to be deprecated, but there's no more info about the module now (links are broken and the like). Btw the test file (latextest.tex) included fails to compile: > tex error on line 165 in file t-ltmsen.tex: ! Undefined control sequence >> \newskip\@rightskip \@rightskip \z@skip Is it possible to make it work? I think it would be nice if some minimal LaTeX macros were supported. Thank you in advance!
