Is it possible to have a rotated label in Metafun?
by Otared Kavian 25 May '20

25 May '20

Hi all, In a graph which I am trying to draw with LuaMetafun, I have a variable the values of which I want to show on the graph rotated 90 degrees (or whatever other value). Is it possible to do that? An example is: numeric a, u ; u := 10mm ; a := 4.5 ; label.bot(a, (10,-0.1) scaled u) % I would like to have printed 4.5 rotated 90 degrees for instance. Thanks in advance for any help: Otared

Wiki - Proposal to update the Welcome page
by Garulfo 25 May '20

25 May '20

Hi all, thanks for your encouraging feedbacks. 1/ Concerning the Manuals Page - As proposed, "obsolete banners" are added to thumbnails of the oldest manuals. - About providing zips of manuals per topics: maybe we could just add a index.html in the distribution structure, to provide the user with a browsing system similar to the wiki's one. - If the admistrators wish, I can now replace the current page. 2/ After the Manuals, please find a proposal for the Welcome Page, which is probably trickier - https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Main_Page_TempProposal - https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Main_Page (the current) - 4 objectives : 1/ do something more visual, reduce the amount of text, 2/ provide a fairly comprehensive overview with less than 15 topics, 3/ but hold in one (big) screen, 4/ avoid redundancies on the Welcome Page, 5/ match both the Wiki's structure & the Manuals' structure. Again, depending on your feedbacks, I would be happy to improve it. It's built from scripts ==> not too hard now to reorder, to adapt. Best

\doublehyphendemerits in project environment
by Marc Trius 24 May '20

24 May '20

Hi, I'm having an issue where \doublehyphendemerits=20000 doesn't seem to have an effect when I put it in the environment file, only when it's in the component file. What's going on? I would prefer to not have to repeat this line in every component.. Thank you, Marc Trius

Change of Optima to Optima Nova: fallback for cyrillc stops working
by Gerben Wierda 24 May '20

24 May '20

I’ve decided to buy the Optima Nova font. But now that I use it, I run into the problem that suddenly my fallback for Cyrillic has stopped working. \definefallbackfamily [archimate] [ss] [Helvetica] [preset=range:cyrillic, tf=style:light, it=style:lightoblique, bf=style:regular, bi=style:oblique, force=yes, rscale=1.0] \definefontfamily [archimate] [ss] [OptimaLT-Medium] \setupbodyfont[archimate] \starttext The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. Ядро метамодели. \stoptext With \definefontfamily [archimate] [ss] [Optima] Cyrillic fallback works (as does the old Optima). What do I need to do to remedy that? Thanks, G

How to define a font with an effect as a font with \definefont
by Gerben Wierda 23 May '20

23 May '20

Wityh this working example: \starttext The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog \definefontfeature [effect-widen] [effect={width=.2,delta=0.3}] \definedfont[Sans*widen,effect-widen] The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog \stoptext I am puzzling to turn my working \definedfont into a \definefont so I can use that instead. Actually, my setup is Optima with Helvetica used for Cyrillic: \definefallbackfamily [archimate] [ss] [Helvetica] [preset=range:cyrillic, tf=style:light, it=style:lightoblique, bf=style:regular, bi=style:oblique, force=yes, rscale=1.0] \definefontfamily [archimate] [ss] [Optima] \setupbodyfont[archimate] And I would like the effect to work on just the Optima font (which is a bit light for this use) I’ve been trying to work out using \definefont with the effect but have so far failed. Thanks, G

output file name query
by Alan Bowen 23 May '20

23 May '20

In my project, I process a single product file by enabling various modes. What I would like to do is to vary the name of the output PDF file in each instance. So, in processing a file, how does one go directly from prd_filename.tex to myfilename.pdf rather than to prd_filename.pdf—assuming that it is possible? Any tips or pointers to what I should be reading will be greatly appreciated. Alan

List of language-specific hyphenation commands
by Jairo A. del Rio 23 May '20

23 May '20

Hi everybody! I've read about some commands which allow hyphenation according to an specific language in ConTeXt, e.g. \french{word} for French hyphenation in a text the main language of which is Spanish, English, etc. Unlike \language[code], I couldn't find any extensive list of those commands, so where should I find them? Thank you in advance!

Getting width of text to be typeset
by context＠vivaldi.net 23 May '20

23 May '20

Hello, is it possible to get somehow the width of the "material" (box?) of the current line which is "ready" to be typeset? See the case: ---- \starttext some text pqrs % Here I need to get width (or content) of the text from the begin of the current line, % i.e. width of the text "pqrs". % (Depending of the width I will decide what to do later.) \stoptext ---- I am too laical to know how to "inject" TeX workflow or whether to access LuaTeX internals (nodes?) to get the desired information. - Is it possible somehow? Best regards, Lukas
