setupbackend breaks page layout
by Steffen Wolfrum 02 May '25

02 May '25

When uncommenting the first line the header disappears ( ConTeXt ver: 2025.04.28 14:29 LMTX). Is this a bug? Steffen %\setupbackend[export=yes] \starttext \startsection [title={\ConTeXt\ is fun}] \stopsection \stoptext

TDM Reservation Protocol (TDMRep)
by Steffen Wolfrum 01 May '25

01 May '25

Hi, we just saw the Accessibility Directive, now there is another demand: the TDM protocol (concerning the reuse of protected works for AI training purposes). Is it possible to implement these TDM Metadata when producing PDF files with ConTeXt? This technique provides a way to embed the rightsholder's choice into a PDF file. (See «§6.6 TDM Metadata in PDF files»: https://www.w3.org/community/reports/tdmrep/CG-FINAL-tdmrep-20240510/#sec-p…) Steffen

Hello, I think the following used to place the footnote rule on the right side (as in rule=right). Now it doesn't. --------- \setupfootnotes[rule=paragraph] \starttext \setupalign[r2l] hello\footnote{foot} \stoptext --------- Am I doing something wrong? Thanks, Mohammad

cannot find fonts in a manual install; what did I miss
by damien＠thiriet.web4me.fr 30 Apr '25

30 Apr '25

Hello! Since OpenBSD has upgraded to 7.7, I performed a manual installation of LMTX standalone after upgrading to my new OS version. What I did: download cont-lmt.zip into /usr/local/context/tex/texmf-context/ mv /home/dthiriet/cont-lmt.zip . unzip cont-lmt.zip cd source/luametatex/ ./build.sh (ou si ça ne marche pas pour des raisons d’autorisation: sh build.sh) cp build/native/luametatex tex/texmf-openbsd-amd64/bin/ depuis $HOME mtxrun --generate mtxrun --script fonts --reload Everything compiles, but the fonts are not found: fonts > defining > font with asked name 'lmsans10-regular' is not found using lookup 'file' fonts > defining > unable to define 'lmsans10-regular' as 'modern-12pt-ss-tf-' fonts > defining > forced type 'otf' of 'latinmodern-math' not found fonts > defining > unable to define 'latinmodern-math.otf' as 'modern-12pt-mm-mr-' fonts > defining > unable to define 'latinmodern-math.otf' as 'modern-12pt-mm-mb-' fonts > 'fallback modern ss 12pt' is loaded When I search my texmf-context file, I cannot find these otf files, so the problem isn't that I put them in the wrong place. I compared with my previous context install, and I can see the difference is that in the former my tree looked like this /usr/local/context | |-- texmf-context/ |-- texmf-openbsd-amd64/ |-- texmf This texmf/ folder, which contains fonts/ (with lmodern otf files and so on) and web2c misses in my current tree. But the context-readme.txt AFAIU does not say anything about a texmf/ folder in the tree. What did I miss? Should I have downloaded another zip from pragma pages? Thanks, Damien

Hi, Thanks to Bruce end others for providing input and testing it we managed to get binary that works on apple arm. Hopefully there are not more issues as we need to make a tex live 2025 snapshot this month.

How to easily comment out/uncomment multiple lines all at once?
by Joel 27 Apr '25

27 Apr '25

I have a single *.tex file that I have setup, here's a simple minimal example: \define\macroA{This outputs some stuff.} \define\macroB{\input knuth } \define\macroC{This outputs other stuff.} \define\macroD{This outputs other stuff.} \define\macroE{This outputs other stuff.} \define[2]\macroF{This is text #1 and #2.} \define\macroG{This outputs other stuff.} \define\macroH{This outputs other stuff.} \starttext \macroA%\macroB%\macroC%\macroD%\macroE %%% some more code \macroF{a}{b}\macroG\macroH \stoptext Normally, I will compile it as above, so only two of the macros actually appear. But sometimes, for testing purposes, I want to make sure my code is functioning good, so I will go an un-comment all of the macros, and then compile, and it basically does a test, making sure all of the macros in my code function perfectly. When testing, it looks like this: \starttext \macroA\macroB\macroC\macroD\macroE %%% some more code \macroF{a}{b}\macroG\macroH \stoptext Because the actual file is quite large, commenting and un-commenting the lines takes a long time, and can lead to mistakes. Is there any simpler way to easily switch between the two versions? --Joel

Tagging Math

Dear All, Following the instructions in tagging.pdf, I tried \setupbackend[format=pdf/ua-2] \setuptagging[state=start] \enabledirectives [backend.usetags=crap] \registermathsymbol[default][en][ z ][the variable] \registermathsymbol[default][en][ k ][the index] \starttext \startformula \startalign \NC \left|(z_0+h)^n - z_0^n\right| \NC = \left|\sum_{k=1}^n \binom{n}{k}h^k z_0^{n-k}\right| \NR \NC \NC = \left |h \sum_{k=0}^{n-1} \binom{n}{k+1} h^k z_0^{n-1-k}\right| \NR \NC \NC = \left|h \sum_{k=0}^{n-1} \frac n {k+1} \binom{n-1}{k} h^k z_0^{n-1-k}\right| \NR \NC \NC \le n | h| \sum_{k=0}^{n-1} \binom{n-1}{k} |h|^k |z_0|^{n-1-k} \NR \NC \NC \le n | h| (|z_0|+|h|)^{n-1} \NR \stopalign \stopformula \stoptext This creates within the pdf the XML attachment below: This XML contains all the information from the formula. Wrapping it into \usemodule[mathml] \starttext \xmlprocessdata{}{ % content of XML file }{} \stoptext produces which is also what my Mac screen reads from the original PDF, but it is evidently not what I want. Does someone have a working example that shows how to do this right? Thanks, Matthias

How to force end-of-sentence space?
by Joel 27 Apr '25

27 Apr '25

When I have a word like "U.S." in a sentence, I'm using code like this: After the U.S.\ Army left Vietnam, they focused on... ...that seems to make sure the space between U.S. Army isn't so big. My copy editor noticed that when I use footnote, there isn't the right space after, like. Here is a sentence.\footnote{This is footnote text.} This is another sentence. They are saying that after that, the space isn't the right size. Is there something similar to the first option that makes sure a full end-of-sentence space width appears? --Joel
