processor for index sub-entry?
by Henning Hraban Ramm 07 Jul '24

07 Jul '24

Hi, is it possible to apply a processor to an index sub-entry? \index{Modules+\type{filter}} looks good, but "filter" is sorted under "type". \defineprocessor[type][style=mono] \index{Modules+type->filter} results in a "Modules / type->filter" entry. \index[Modules+filter]{Modules+\type{filter}} works and looks good, but the code feels bad… Hraban

Dear list, Anytime I try make a document I get: token call, execute: ...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/toks-aux.lmt:291: attempt to call a nil value (field 'getmathvariantpresets') stack traceback: ...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/toks-aux.lmt:291: in local 'code' ...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/util-lua.lua:97: in field 'loadedluacode' ...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/luat-env.lua:108: in field 'luafilechunk' ...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/luat-cod.lmt:82: in function 'lua.registercode' [ctxlua]:1: in main chunk <empty file> You injected something that confused the parser, maybe by using some Lua call. resolvers | formats | resolvers | formats | binary path : /Users/me/context/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin resolvers | formats | format path : /Users/me/context/tex/texmf-cache/luametatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/formats/luametatex resolvers | formats | luatex engine : luametatex resolvers | formats | lua startup file : /Users/jme/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/luat-cod.lmt resolvers | formats | context file : /Users/me/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/cont-en.mkxl resolvers | formats | run time : 0.457 seconds resolvers | formats | return value : error resolvers | formats | mtx-context | error, no format found with name: cont-en, aborting system I have tried deleting context/texmf-cache and running: context --make context --make cont-en Still no luck.

How to specify a default formatting for TABLE
by Gerion Entrup 02 Jul '24

02 Jul '24

Hi, I want to format a bunch a tables with the same formatting. It seems that specifying the \setupTABLE commands as part of the preamble works. However, I need some tables that are formatted in another way. Is there a generic way to specify this? Here is a MWE: ``` \setupTABLE[frame=off, offset=2pt] \setupTABLE[row][first][topframe=on, bottomframe=on, style=bf] \setupTABLE[row][last][bottomframe=on] \setupTABLE[row][even][background=color,backgroundcolor=red] \setupcolors[state=start] \starttext A table:\\ \bTABLE \bTR \bTD head1 \eTD \bTD head2 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD data1 \eTD \bTD data2 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD data3 \eTD \bTD data4 \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \blank[line] Another table with the same format:\\ \bTABLE \bTR \bTD head1 \eTD \bTD head2 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD data1 \eTD \bTD data2 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD data3 \eTD \bTD data4 \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \blank[line] This table should be formatted in another way (actually not formatted):\\ \bTABLE \setupTABLE[row][each][topframe=off, bottomframe=off, style=, background=] \bTR \bTD head1 \eTD \bTD head2 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD data1 \eTD \bTD data2 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD data3 \eTD \bTD data4 \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \blank[line] This does not work either:\\ { \setupTABLE[row][each][topframe=off, bottomframe=off, style=, background=] % \setupTABLE[row][1,2,3][topframe=off, bottomframe=off, style=, background=] % this deactivates the color at least \bTABLE \bTR \bTD head1 \eTD \bTD head2 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD data1 \eTD \bTD data2 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD data3 \eTD \bTD data4 \eTD \eTR \eTABLE } \stoptext ``` The last two tables should be formatted as if the four setupTABLE commands in the header are not existent. My solution does not work, however. Gerion

Use headcommand in \definedescription together with \definehighlight
by Gerion Entrup 01 Jul '24

01 Jul '24

Hi, I was in the process to convert an itemize part to a description and wanted to simplify the code in the same move. I discovered headcommand for that, but struggled to set the text in an highlight _and_ make a colon at the end. Do you know, if this is possible? Here is a MWE: ``` \definehighlight[hl][style={\m{>}\,\switchtobodyfont[tt]}] \definedescription[category][ alternative=top, headstyle=bold, width=broad, ] \definedescription[desc][ width=broad, distance={\widthofstring{~}}, headcommand={\groupedcommand{\hl}{:}}, % headcommand={\groupedcommand{}{:}}, % this compiles but the highlight is lost % headcommand={\groupedcommand{\starthl}{\stophl :}}, % this does not compile headstyle=, before={\startpacked}, after={\stoppacked}, alternative=hanging, ] \starttext This is a \hl{highlight}. Some listings \startcategory{Itemize} \startitemize[packed] \item \hl{first}: one \item \hl{second}: two \stopitemize \stopcategory Now the same as desc: \startcategory{Desc} \startdesc{first} one \stopdesc \startdesc{second} two \stopdesc \stopcategory \stoptext ``` The itemize looks like it should look (except of the dots). Best, Gerion

No roman numerals in frontmatter header
by jbf 29 Jun '24

29 Jun '24

Perhaps someone can advise me where I am going wrong. I have no trouble getting roman numeral page numbers in the footer text in frontmatter with \startsectionblockenvironment [frontpart] \setupuserpagenumber [numberconversion=romannumerals] \setcounter [userpage] [5] \stopsectionblockenvironment \startsectionblockenvironment [bodypart] \setcounter [userpage] [1] \stopsectionblockenvironment \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided,location={footer,middle}] But if I change to \setuppagenumbering[location= ], and choose, for example: \setupheadertexts [ ] [{\getmarking[chapter]\hskip1em \pagenumber}] [{\pagenumber \hskip1em \documentvariable{metadata:title}}] [ ] I get my header texts with page numbers in arabic numerals in frontmatter. I have tried various \setupheadertexts options, but I still get arabic numerals in frontmatter. The conversion does not work. What am I missing or doing wrong? Julian

SciTE
by Lutz Haseloff 28 Jun '24

Hi Hans, hi all, I try to use SciTE for ConTEXt. One problem seems to be the file scite-context-internal.properties in recent cont-sci zip. My Ubuntu says it is a binary file. Is this intended? Greetings Lutz

A second try… Hi all, Is it possible to have different background colors for different cells in flow charts ? For instance in the following example, is it possible to have a particular color for each cell ? Thanks in advance and best regards: Otared \usemodule[chart] \starttext \startFLOWchart[example] \startFLOWcell \name {flow} \location {1,1} \text {Flow} \connection [rl] {chart} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \name {chart} \location{2,1} \text {Charts} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \name {flow2} \location {1,2} \text {Chart} \connection [rl] {chart} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \name {chart2} \location{2,2} \text {Flow} \stopFLOWcell \stopFLOWchart \FLOWchart[example] \stoptext

(any) link with document breaks Reader DC
by Pablo Rodriguez 27 Jun '24

27 Jun '24

Dear list, investigating the issue of why Acrobat Reader DC doesn’t recognize ConTeXt signatures, I related it to another issue. I use Acrobat Reader DC for Windows at work. DC is regularly updated. Since a year ago or so, if I open a PDF document (opening Acrobat with the document) and double-click (sometimes, it may be triple-click) too fast on a link or a signature field (either to be signed or already signed), Acrobat Reader crashes. I have tested sample documents on other computers and with other people and everybody told me Reader crashed. BTW, the document structure is perfectly fine (according to the Arlington PDF model from the PDF specification). I thought Acrobat Reader DC changed something and this was buggy. I have been consistently experiencing this issue for about a year, so I took for granted it was a common bug. I experienced the crash only with the Spanish version (the one installed on all tested computers). Although I sometimes I load the English version by pressing Ctrl when starting Acrobat, right now I cannot say whether I experienced the crash with the English version loaded. But this seemed to be not enough, since I have just found out that Acrobat Reader for Windows and macOS with the US English version may not crash (I was told). The sample document contains only a link. It has generated from the following source: \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=1dk] \protected\define[1]\myurl% {{\tt\goto{\hyphenatedurl{#1}}[url(#1)]}} \myurl{https://contextgarden.net} \stopTEXpage \stoptext Sorry for asking for this, but would you be so kind to compile (or download the attachment) and open it with an updated Acrobat (opening Acrobat with the document)? I need that you double (or triple) click on the link (to the Garden) as fast as you can. Either if this crashes Acrobat or not, I would really appreciate if you could tell me which is your OS and language version of Acrobat. I’m affraid I cannot tell yet what may be triggering the crash, but I view PDF in Windows with SumatraPDF. When I open them with Acrobat and click on any kind of link too fast, I get back to SumatraPDF (since Acrobat crashed and dissapeared). Excuse for what it seems to be a tricky issue with Acrobat (the signature being way more important than the crash 😅). Many thanks for your help in advance, Pablo

Draft vertical text in margins
by Kip Warner 27 Jun '24

27 Jun '24

Hello list, I'd like to place the text "DRAFT" in the left and right side margins of every page, rotated 90 degrees so that the text runs vertically. It would be nice if the text was 180 degrees rotated on the right side in comparison to the left margin. I've tried with overlays and I can't seem to get them to work correctly. This should be simple, but as with so many things with ConTeXt it's a bit enigmatic. -- Kip Warner OpenPGP signed/encrypted mail preferred https://www.thevertigo.com
