Aaligned numbers in a matrix?
by Bruce Horrocks 27 Feb '23

27 Feb '23

I'm using the following MWE to produce a matrix: \definemathmatrix[bmatrix] [matrix:brackets] [simplecommand=bmatrix] \starttext $ a \rightarrow \bmatrix{1, 2, 3, 4; 2, 1, 4, 3; 3,-4, 1,-2; 4,-3, 2,-1} $ \stoptext The columns with negative numbers in are centred and I would rather have them right-aligned so that the digits stack up above each other and the negative signs stick out to the left, so to speak. Is there an easy way to achieve this? — Bruce Horrocks Hampshire, UK

How to add data from another PDF in index?
by Joel 26 Feb '23

26 Feb '23

I am making a textbook and workbook set. I have this custom index using this code, in both the textbook and workbook: % \defineregister[learnedshort][compress=yes] \setupregister[learnedshort][style=sansbold, textstyle=slanted, n=2, pagenumber=yes, indicator=no] % \defineregister[learnedlong][compress=yes] \setupregister[learnedlong][style=sansbold, textstyle=slanted, n=2, pagenumber=yes, indicator=no] % \define[1]\learnedis{% \txt{} \getvalue{#1} \learnedshort{#1} \learnedlong{#1} } \define[1]\learned{% \learnedshort{#1} \learnedlong{\getvalue{#1}} } \starttext \learnedis{blah blah} \input knuth \learnedis{some more} \startchapter[title=Standards] \placelearnedshort \stopchapter \stoptext My question is, can I have references to the Workbook page numbers in the textbook? And visa-versa? For instance, the Textbook index currently looks like this: ------------- Standards blah blah 1 some more 2 -------------- With the data in the Workbook it might look like this: Standards blah blah 1, WB: 1, 3-8 some more 2, WB: 8-9 yet more WB: 10, 12 -------------- Is this possible to merge index information like this? --Joel

Chapter cover page
by Alex Leray 23 Feb '23

23 Feb '23

Hello, I'm trying to figure out how to design a chapter page for a custom head section with uservariables defined. I'd like to have the chapter page start on a right page. I'd like this page to feature the title of the chapter (here: an interview) along with some other info like the interviewee name and bio. All in a "fancy" layout. I'm having issue putting it all together. The command parameter allow me to override the content of the title but has some drawbacks (it seems to be stuck in horizontal mode for instance). I'm open to any solution but would find it nice to keep the \startstopinterview structure. Here is my code at the moment: %%% \define[2]\MyChapter{ \starttabulate[|p(\layoutcolumnwidth)|p(\layoutcolumnwidth)|] \NC \structureuservariable{author} \NC \structureuservariable{bio} \NR \stoptabulate } \definehead[interview][chapter] \setuphead[interview][ page=right, command=\MyChapter, % insidesection={\page}, style={\tfa}, ] \starttext \startinterview[title={My Interview}][ author={Jane Doe}, year={2022}, month={Decembre}, bio={\input ward} ] \dorecurse{10}{\input ward \crlf} \stopinterview \stoptext %%% Many thanks

Unexpected results with \xmlpos

22 Feb '23

Hi, I'm getting unexpected results for \xmlpos With the example below, I was expecting to get the following positions: 1 2 3 4 However the result is: 2 4 6 8, i.e. each time it's exactly the double.

How to prevent \subject from being the last line
by Sylvain Hubert 21 Feb '23

21 Feb '23

Dear list, I have a long document (A4 * 170 pages) with some CJK fonts, where some of the \subject{...} are placed at the end of the corresponding pages, which looks awkward. How can one flush those last-line titles to the next pages? Currently I don't have a MWE, as trivial filling-up with 1-2 pages of \lipsum doesn't reproduce the problem. I'm optimistically asking without MWE, but if it is necessary anyway, please tell me and I will obfuscate the 170-page document and find a way to upload it. Many thanks, Sylvain

Makeup and page numbering increment
by Alex Leray 15 Feb '23

15 Feb '23

Dear Context users, I'm new to this mailing-list. I've decided to use Context for two separate publications. My previous experience with Context was almost 10 years ago and it seems like the resources on Context have greatly expanded. So thank you all! There is a little thing that I can't figure out though... In one of my document I have makeup pages. But inserting them result in wrong page numbering of subsequent pages. It appears that makeups do not increment page numbers. Is this a feature? How could re-establish the right page number for the rest of the document? Thank you in advance, Alex

Sentence breaks for "English-style" (TeX default in English language) spacing regime
by Henry House 14 Feb '23

14 Feb '23

List: What method should one use to code whitespace after a period as being sentence-ending, not midsentence, when not employing French spacing? For example, if one writes "... John Doe, PhD. Next sentence x y z ... ." the space in "PhD. Next". In LaTeX, we have "\@. " (code whitespace following puctuation mark as sentence-separating length) and "\ " (code space as intrasentence length) to adjust the magical behavior of ASCII spaces. By experimentation I have found that "Prof.\ Smith" works as expected in ConTeXt but "PhD\@. Next sentence ..." is a nonexistent control code. Prof. Smith % heuristic thinks that the period ends a sentence --- wrong typesetting behavior Prof.\ Smith % coded as space after abbreviation not sentence-separating space --- correct typesetting behavior under English spacing regime versus: PhD\@. Next sentence % Official LaTeX method, nonexistent control References: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/French_spacing Not helpful alas.

However, I also get this: charlie@Air-di-Tommaso ~ % luametatex startup error : no format file given, quitting Also, I created the TeXShop engine as indicated on the page (I've done it before with no problems). However, now when I run LMTX from editor to compose a source, the source is compiled with MkIV Standalone, which I have in another folder ( /Users/charlie/Documents/ConTeXt/ConTeXt-MkIV). LMTX doesn't even work from a terminal, of course. The curious thing is that even by launching the ConTeXt present in TeX Live, what really works is always MkIV Standalone. Do you have any idea where I might have gone wrong? Thank you very much Tommaso

Problem using \scale
by Bruce Horrocks 10 Feb '23

10 Feb '23

I'm printing address labels. Sometimes an address has a long line that is too long to fit on the label with the result that it wraps. Instead of wrapping, I thought it would be nice to try and auto-scale the label and shrink it so that the long line just fits. I'm using \crlf to break the address into lines and this doesn't play well with the \scale command, see MWE below, where the second frame is just one long line as the \crlf's seem to be ignored. Is there a simple solution that allows \crlf and also scale? \starttext \startbuffer[address] Name \crlf Address 1 \crlf A long line that wraps \crlf Town \crlf Postcode \stopbuffer \framed[width=3cm,align=flushleft]{\getbuffer[address]} \framed[width=3cm,align=flushleft]{\scale[factor=fit]{\getbuffer[address]}} \stoptext — Bruce Horrocks Hampshire, UK

Hello, The criterium key in setupregister (so placeregister, placeindex, ...) takes the following values: criterium local text current previous all section all: places all entries of the document section: (part, chapter, section, ...) places entries associated with that structure element. Can someone explain local, text, current, previous for their scope and perhaps subtle differences are not entirely obvious to me. Thank you Alan

Dear all, I copied the code of defining chapter command from metafun-000.tex, and run it. But the result is different from that in MetaFun Manual.

regular online meet-up
by Henning Hraban Ramm 08 Feb '23

08 Feb '23

You’re invited to join on Wednesday, February 8th, 15:00 CET (UTC+1) at https://lecture.senfcall.de/hen-rbr-rku-oke (same, but shorter: https://v34h.de/ctxmtg) ConTeXt users of all levels are welcome! Next meeting will be on March 8th. (Same blurb as every time:) [Howto] * No special software installation required; most modern browsers should work (WebRTC required). * Open the above URL, accept the privacy statement, * enter your name, * click "join" (or "start" if you’re the first), * click "with microphone", allow your browser to access it, check the audio. * Your microphone is muted if you join. Activate microphone and/or camera with the buttons at the bottom. * Minimize the default presentation with the "screen" button, bottom right. * If you’d like to share your screen or upload a file, you can make yourself the presenter: Click on your user name, change the setting, then you’ll see the "screen sharing" button beside the camera button; also there’s now "manage presentations" behind the "plus" button. Beware there is only one presenter at a time, so don’t kill someone else’s presentation. [Technical hints] * Sound is usually better if you use a headset (less noise for everyone). * Connection problems are mostly due to low bandwidth or high latency on your side, e.g. with mobile connections. * If audio/video doesn’t work for you, you can still use the text chat. * Screen sharing needs a lot of bandwidth. * BigBlueButton documentation applies: https://bigbluebutton.org/teachers/tutorials/ [Netiquette] * Please use a name that we recognize from here. Some feel uncomfortable with anonymous lurkers. * Mute your microphone while you’re not talking. * It’s nice to show your face at least when you join. * If there are connection problems, stop camera sharing. * The room is set to “everyone’s a moderator“, I trust you... See you, Hraban

lmtx update
by Hans Hagen 06 Feb '23

06 Feb '23

Hi, We were considering to drop the virtual math fonts mechanism (which has served its purpose in the transition in the very early days of luatex but became obsolete as math fonts evolved) but in the end we were forced keep this feature and even upgrade it because we liked iwona, kurier and anwykwa math too much. A typical case where one needs a week for reviewing, supporting, discussing, testing a few fonts, so let's hope it wi;l be used. Iwona and Kurier are nice sansish fonts and antykwa has a rather distinctive look and feel. The current variant works okay for most of math (in most weights of the fonts) but then, these fonts are not used for complex math or math using obscure symbols anyway. It can also serve as a test case for somewhat ancient fonts but it is configured in the modern way we like more (as we might completely drop old code paths some day anyway). And so, this update is dedicated to Janusz Nowacki, a Polish font friend, who passed away some time ago. % \setupbodyfont[iwona] % \setupbodyfont[kurier] % \setupbodyfont[antykwa] Hans & Mikael ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Fwd: BachoTeX 2023: invitation and call for papers
by Henning Hraban Ramm 05 Feb '23

05 Feb '23

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: BachoTeX 2023: invitation and call for papers Datum: Wed, 1 Feb 2023 20:33:11 +0100 Von: Jerzy.Ludwichowski <Jerzy.Ludwichowski(a)gust.org.pl> Dear Friends, please pass on the BachoTeX 2023 announcement to your members. With best wishes, -- Jerzy Ludwichowski =========================================== Dear TeX users and friends, good news - come what may, there will be BachoTeX 2023 as indeed I promised when announcing BachoTeX 2022 cancellation. The SARS-CoV-2 virus did not disappear but seems to have become less of a danger as far as one can tell. The war in Ukraine is raging still, but none the less we decided to organize BachoTeX 2023 at the usual dates and venue. We hope that for the fall and to make up for the lost time by keeping the same theme as the cancelled 2020 conference. Please find below the call for papers for BachoTeX 2023, with the same theme as planned for BachoTeX 2020 and 2022. The dates are from 29th of April until 3rd of May, 2023. Registrations will be announced separately as soon as possible. -- Jerzy Ludwichowski (for the Organizing Committee) The 28th GUST TeX conference A model kit. Modeling and implementing text typesetting in TeX and other systems. TeX as a program created by a scientist - Professor of The Art of Computer Programming, D. E. Knuth - stands out among other typesetting programs. Here we have not only an implementation but also a theoretical model to explain its behavior. For example the line breaking algorithm is based on the "algebra of glue and boxes". Algorithms designed for TeX became the basis for several scientific publications. TeX became a suitable environment for research in typography. We ask participants to reflect on the dependencies between theoretical models and implementation. Do they help or are they an obstacle? * Papers/presentations Of course we also look forward to the normal mix of TeX, Metafont/Metapost (please, do not forget the fonts!), ConTeXt, LaTeX, and friends related presentations. We also do upkeep the BachoTeX trend in which we try to bring together programmers and designers of typographic systems, typographers and other users of such systems. The normal channel of offering papers is the emailing of proposals to the Program Committee, but before rushing off to the mailer, please consult the info for authors. * Workshops and tutorials We look forward to proposals for TeX-related tutorials or introductions. If you have suggestions for tutorials or workshops by others than yourself or about specific topics, please let us know. * Poster sessions As always at BachoTeX participants will be given the opportunity to present their TeX and typographic results in the form of posters for which we provide exhibition space. * Deadlines and addresses The deadline for "regular" abstracts and other proposals is March 26th, 2023. The deadline for final papers to appear in the conference materials is April 16th. Contributions should be sent by email to the Program Committee: prog-2023 at gust.org.pl. The Program Committee is chaired by Bogusław Jackowski (b_jackowski at gust dot org dot pl). For other conference details see http://gust.org.pl/bachotex/2023-en.

A corner case relating to corners!
by Bruce Horrocks 05 Feb '23

05 Feb '23

In the Wiki <https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupframed> the examples for corner styles 00 - 09 no longer work and the single digit values 0 - 9 need to be used instead. (Styles 10 upwards continue to work as per the page.) Is this a deliberate change and the Wiki needs to be updated or should the change be reverted for backwards compatibility? MWE: \starttext \framed[corner=7]{Some text} \stoptext With value 07 the frame doesn't display, with value 7 the frame appears as expected. (Readers with a long-haired white cat can try corner=007) ;-) Version: ConTeXt ver: 2023.01.26 18:34 LMTX — Bruce Horrocks Hampshire, UK

Font substitution for extensible symbols
by Yaroslav Beltukov 02 Feb '23

02 Feb '23

Good day everyone, I'm trying to replace the math radical symbol (with all its variants) in one font with another one. Some fonts have too few radical symbols of different sizes, which results in enormous spacing in radicals. However, there is a bug in the new font replacement mechanism. Here is MWE: % 0x221A is the radical symbol \definefallbackfamily [MainFace] [mm] [TeX Gyre Pagella Math] [force=yes, range=0x221A] \definefontfamily [MainFace] [tf] [Cambria] % or [XITS] \definefontfamily [MainFace] [mm] [Cambria Math] % or [XITS Math] \setupbodyfont [MainFace] \starttext \startformula \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}}\dorecurse{15}{+\sqrt{\blackrule[width=10pt,height=#1pt,depth=#1pt,color=gray]}} \stopformula \startformula \sqrt{\blackrule[width=10pt,height=100pt,depth=100pt,color=gray]} \stopformula \stoptext It works in MKIV but it gives the following error in the latest LMTX: ...mkxl/math-vfu.lmt:675: attempt to get length of a nil value (global 'hp') It is caused by the following loop in math-vfu.lmt: local pv = olddata.parts if pv then pv = fastcopy(pv) newdata.parts = pv for i=1,#hp do local pvi = pv[i] ... One can see that #hp should be #pv. After this correction, the error disappears and we get different sizes of radicals from the new font. However, now the extended version of the radical does not work. Actually, this loop is devoted to copying the parts of the extended symbol, and it does not work as expected. Obviously, there is something deeper than the correction of the typo. The same behaviour is for other extensible symbols (e.g. parentheses). I hope this issue can be resolved. A more deeper understanding is required here. Best regards, Yaroslav P.S. sometimes I get the following output. Maybe it is related: otf reader > cff > unknown local call ?, case 1 : [] n=0

Wrong prefix in cross references to formulas in external document
by Yaroslav Beltukov 31 Jan '23

31 Jan '23

Dear Hans and all contributors, I really appreciate ConTeXt for the right way to obtain high quality documents. I'm a theoretical physicist and I'm going to write a book. I think ConTeXt is the right choice to work with a number of formulas, figures and cross-references. The visual quality of formulas is better than in regular LaTeX. The new feature with formula autosplitting looks also very promising. For me it is important to obtain the high quality without a lot of manual tweaks of each formula for each given document format and figure placement. However, I have found a problem with references if I compile one component only. The references to formulas in other components have wrong prefixes, e.g. (2.1) instead of (3.1). Needless to say, the right formula references are very important. I started looking into this issue. The references to other components are taken from the whole product as from an external document. It turned out that this is a general problem with references with prefixes to external documents. The prefix is stored in a tuc file as a reference to a section as a sequential number of the header in the document. As a result, the prefix from the external document is calculated using the structure of the current document. Here is the MWE, which consists of two files: foo.tex: \defineenumeration[remark][prefix=yes, prefixsegments=chapter:section] \starttext Equations: \in[eq1], \in[eq2], \in[eq3], \in[eq4] Sections: \in[sec1], \in[sec2], \in[sec3], \in[sec4] Chapters: \in[chap1], \in[chap2], \in[chap3], \in[chap4] Remarks: \in[remark1], \in[remark2] \startbodymatter \chapter[chap1]{Chapter} \placeformula[eq1]\startformula x = y\stopformula \chapter[chap2]{Chapter} \section[sec1]{Section} \section[sec2]{Section} \placeformula[eq1]\startformula x = y\stopformula \placeformula[eq2]\startformula x = y\stopformula \stopbodymatter \startappendices \chapter[chap3]{Chapter} \section[sec3]{Section} \placeformula[eq3]\startformula x = y\stopformula \section[sec4]{Section} \startremark[remark1]\stopremark \placeformula[eq4]\startformula x = y\stopformula \startremark[remark2]\stopremark \chapter[chap4]{Chapter} \stopappendices \stoptext bar.tex: \starttext Equations: \in[foo::eq1], \in[foo::eq2], \in[foo::eq3], \in[foo::eq4] Sections: \in[foo::sec1], \in[foo::sec2], \in[foo::sec3], \in[foo::sec4] Chapters: \in[foo::chap1], \in[foo::chap2], \in[foo::chap3], \in[foo::chap4] Remarks: \in[foo::remark1], \in[foo::remark2] % any chapters and sections here \stoptext It is expected to have the same first page on these documents: Equations: 1.1, 2.2, A.1, A.2 Sections: 2.1, 2.2, A.1, A.2 Chapters: 1, 2, A, B Remarks: A.2.1, A.2.2 However, the bar.tex produces wrong prefixes to formulas and remarks. The output depends on the document structure of bar.tex, not foo.tex. I started looking into the source code. Thanks to lua, it is not a big deal to track the problem. The prefixdata is complemented by the sectiondata after the loading the tuc file. So, the question is: is it possible to store the full prefixdata with all necessary prefix numbers in the tuc file? Here is my proposal to change the source code: --- strc-lst-old.lmt 2023-01-29 11:30:15.610309948 +0300 +++ strc-lst.lmt 2023-01-29 12:10:08.864228923 +0300 @@ -266,6 +266,16 @@ if r and not r.section then r.section = structures.sections.currentid() end + -- store sectiondata in prefixdata (necessary for external files) + if t.prefixdata and r.section then + local sectiondata = structures.sections.collected[r.section] + if sectiondata then + for k, v in next, sectiondata do + t.prefixdata[k] = v + end + end + end + -- local b = r and t.block if r and not b then local s = r.section --- strc-ref-old.lmt 2023-01-29 11:30:15.823643904 +0300 +++ strc-ref.lmt 2023-01-29 12:07:45.697109862 +0300 @@ -2318,7 +2318,17 @@ if data then numberdata = lists.reordered(data) -- data.numberdata if numberdata then - helpers.prefix(data,prefixspec) + -- helpers.prefix(data,prefixspec) + -- use the actual numbers from prefixdata + local prefixdata = data.prefixdata + if prefixdata then + -- adapted from helpers.prefix (not sure) + if (prefixspec and prefixspec == no) or prefixdata.prefix == no then + prefixdata = false + end + sections.typesetnumber(prefixdata,"prefix", prefixspec or false, prefixdata) + end + -- sections.typesetnumber(numberdata,"number",numberspec,numberdata) else local useddata = data.useddata After this small change, all the references are correct. However, I'm quite new to ConTeXt, so maybe here are some caveats. It would be great to fix the references to formulas, especially for the forthcoming document about maths. Best regards, Yaroslav Beltukov

Best way to access casul fonts
by Mattias Märka 30 Jan '23

30 Jan '23

Hi, I'm trying to access Lucida Casual. I see in type-imp-lucida-typeone.mkiv that there is, indeed, a typescript for it, but I can't figure out how to switch to it. That is, I want to make some text be Lucida Casual. I gather from a previous thread that I should be using \definefontstyle, but I don't know how to go about this. Currently I'm just defining a new typescript and making Lucida Casual a synonym for Serif and then using \switchtobodyfont --- but this feel silly. I searched the wiki and skimmed the reference manual, but to no avail. Perhaps I don't know what I should be looking for. Any help would be appreciated. What's the easiest way to access a casual font? What's the cleanest way? Thanks, Mattias Märka

Subject: Leading spaces verbatim
by Kalouguine Andre 30 Jan '23

30 Jan '23

Good day to everyone, I'm trying to make a verbatim block of text with copiable leading spaces so that students can just copy my Python code snippets into their IDE. I believe the question has been asked before (though I confess I can't find the right search terms to find the answer again). I get that PDFs are not the optimal way to give code to students (which is why for longer snippets, I just give them the files or I attach them into the PDF), but for short snippets it would be so much simpler... I recently stumbled onto this article: https://www.overleaf.com/latex/examples/using-luatex-to-convert-interword-g… wherein the author replaces the TeX glue with spaces and kerning. I was wondering whether the same idea could be applied within the typing environment but making a primitive verbatim environment using \obeylines and \obeyspaces did not result in copiable spaces. Unfortunately, whilst I have some concepts of how luatex works on the input file, the step wherein a pdf is formed is fairly misterious to me, meaning I can't really understand the Lua code from said article (https://gist.github.com/Semptum/076cca71bc251ebe19ff96c5effca3cb) Hence, my three questions: - Is it even realistic to make such a typing environment? - What would be the best path to do so? - Can someone recommend some reading material specifically about this kind of typographical adjustments using LuaTex? Stuff like adjusting the glyphs's position, replacing characters with combined characters etc... Sorry if that's a bit vague, as you can see from the rest of the message, I never really went too deep into the later stages of the TeX pipeline. Best regards, Andre

Am trying to understand how best to change the title metadata in headertext halfway through a document that has two parts: Constitutions and Regulations. My first attempt (did not work) \startsetups[headertext] \startdocument [metadata:title={Regulations}] \stopsetups \setupheadertexts [ ] [{\getmarking[chapter]\hskip1em \pagenumber}] [{\pagenumber \hskip1em \setup{headertext}}] [ ] My second attempt (quite crass, but it works!!) was to create a second \startdocument within the main \startdocument (obviously closing it towards the end but before the main \stopdocument), this time with [metadata:title={Regulations}] instead of the original [metadata:title={Constitutions}]. However, I have a strong feeling this is not a very elegant solution! Thoughts? Julian

How to create multi-line headers and footers?
by Joel 29 Jan '23

29 Jan '23

I am creating a template for a 1-page newsletter. At the top of every page is a huge title, below which is a block with a brief introduction to the newsletter. The body is just 200-300 words each issue--I edit it such that all of the content fits on just one-side, one page. Finally, in the footer, is contact information and some other closing details. ======TITLE <-- big title ............ <-- introduction paragraph ............ ====== -------------------- <-- body text ----------======............ <-- message in footer ====== I tried placing that all into a macro called "\introduction" then calling with this \setupheadertexts[\introduction] It seems when placing the macro inside \setupheadertexts, the text is reduced to a single line. Any code involving \frames{} doesn't seem to work normally. Its all compressed to a single line, then centered. How can I put a mult-line frame or multi-line text in the headers and footers? --Joel

Can ConTeXt print specific paragraph and sentences from an input file?
by Joel 29 Jan '23

29 Jan '23

Assuming I have an input file with an essay: \starttext \input essay \stoptext Is there any command to tell ConTeXt to print a specific sentence, e.g. the first sentence from paragraph 2, or the last sentence from paragraph 1, etc? --Joel

notes by paragraph
by jbf 28 Jan '23

28 Jan '23

Re my earlier question on footnotes by defined paragraph: \start...stoplocalfootnotes and \placelocalfootnotes largely solves the issue (had forgotten that option), but I am still getting the footnotes repeated at the bottom of the page. I am obviously missing a setting. There are parts of this text that do require the usual footnotes at the bottom, so I would not want to turn off this option permanently. I have tried \setupnotation[footnote][display=no] but that is not working. Julian

footnotes by paragraph?
by jbf 28 Jan '23

28 Jan '23

Here's a tricky one (for me) that I haven't been able to work out. I am dealing with a set of constitutions that I am organizing with a paragraph definition \defineparagraphs[Two][n=2] \setupparagraphs[Two][1][width=.2\textwidth,style=\bfx,after={\blank},align=flushleft] \setupparagraphs[Two][2][width=.77\textwidth,style=normal,after={\blank}] But I need to get the footnotes (which all apply to [2] in each article of the constitutions) to come beneath my defined 'Two'. I do not want them to come at the bottom of the page. I thought I might be able to do it by placing \start...stopTwo within a \start...stopsection and defining \setupnotation[way=bysection] but that is not working. Any thought on how I could approach this? Julian

Fwd: Lucida-1.901 (2023-01-21) available
by Henning Hraban Ramm 27 Jan '23

27 Jan '23

https://tug.org/pipermail/lucida/2023-January/000921.html A new version (1.901) of the Lucida OpenType fonts from TUG is available. As with previous updates, there's no additional charge if you've already purchased licenses; you can use the same download information sent to you at the time of purchase to get the new fonts. (If you've lost the download info, you can email us at lucida-admin at tug.org.) I will append the changes for this release. The same information is also online at https://tug.org/store/lucida/NEWS.txt. To summarize, the most significant changes have been to the math fonts, especially the regular-weight LucidaBrightMathOT. Many of these changes were discussed in greater detail in the recent article about Lucida math by Hans Hagen and Mikael Sundqvist: https://tug.org/TUGboat/tb43-3/tb135hagen-lucida.pdf The four Lucida Sans fonts and the three specialized fonts (Blackletter, Calligraphy, Handwriting) are not changed at all from the last release (not even version numbers or dates). All other fonts were changed. On behalf of TUG, I thank Hans, Mikael, and Michael Sharpe, who among them did essentially all of the technical font editing for this release. And we must thank Chuck Bigelow and Kris Holmes (they approved this release, as always), without whom nothing could be done. Bug reports and character/feature requests are welcome (email to this list is best), though, as usual, we cannot promise any particular timeline for the next release. Happy typesetting, Karl [Berry]

protected macro vs protected luacall
by Henri Menke 27 Jan '23

27 Jan '23

Dear list, I have noticed a somewhat strange difference between protected macros and protected luacalls, namely that the latter cannot be expanded by \the. In the example below I define a Lua function that prints \numexpr 17\relax to the token stream and I call it once from a protected TeX macro wrapping \directlua and once from a protected luacall registered with token.set_lua. \directlua{ userdata = userdata or {} function userdata.test() tex.print("\string\\numexpr 17\string\\relax") end } \tt \protected\def\test{\directlua{userdata.test()}} \meaning\test\par \edef\x{\test}\meaning\x\par \the\test \directlua{ local t = lua.get_functions_table() t[\string#t + 1] = userdata.test token.set_lua("test", userdata.test, \string#t, "protected") } \meaning\test\par \edef\x{\test}\meaning\x\par \the\test \bye However, the second \the\test fails with the following error: ! You can't use `luacall 0' after \the. l.21 \the\test Is this asymmetry between luacalls and regular macros intended? Is there a workaround where I can have a luacall that doesn't expand inside of \edef but still expands after \the? Cheers, Henri

Printing mailing list labels
by Bruce Horrocks 26 Jan '23

26 Jan '23

If you've ever struggled with Word's or (worse) LibreOffice's mail merge features to print a mailing list onto sticky labels then this might be of interest. I've created some macros and an example file showing how to print address labels on Avery L7160 paper (which is 7 rows of 3 labels on A4) and uploaded them here. <https://context-address-labels.sourceforge.io/> Features: - full control over label content (can even differ from one label to the next if necessary) - easily use up a part-used sheet of labels to avoid waste - read address data from a CSV file - easily support different address formats for different international destinations - option to preview on plain paper - even label your labels in the page header so you remember why you printed them! No licence - the files are placed in the public domain. Feedback welcome. — Bruce Horrocks Hampshire, UK

pgfplots module wrecks in latest
by Gavin 25 Jan '23

25 Jan '23

Hi List, The TikZ related module “pgfplots” is causing a fatal error in the latest ConTeXt. Here is a MWE: \usemodule[tikz] \usemodule[pgfplots] % PGFPlots module for graphs \starttext \starttikzpicture \draw (0, 0) circle (3cm); \stoptikzpicture \stoptext Without loading the pgfplots module, this draws a circle. With the \usemodule[pgfplots] line, this has the error below before doing anything. I don’t know when this started happening, because I don’t use pgfplots often, but it was probably in the last couple months. Thanks for all the great updates! Gavin tex error > tex error on line 521 in file pgfplots.code.tex: Use of \pgfplots@command@to@string@@ doesn't match its definition <inserted text> m acro:colormap <argument> \pgfplots@colormap@catcodemagic <macro> \pgfplots@command@to@string #1#2->\expandafter \pgfplots@command@to@string@@ \meaning #1 \pgfplots@EOI {#2} <line 6.521> \pgfplots@command@to@string\pgfplots@colormap@catcodemagic\pgfplots@colormap@catcodemagic <empty file> If you say, e.g., '\def\a1{...}', then you must always put '1' after '\a', since control sequence names are made up of letters only. The macro here has not been followed by the required stuff, so I'm ignoring it.

ConTeXt features in pandoc 3
by Albert Krewinkel 24 Jan '23

24 Jan '23

Hello, a new version of pandoc, the universal document converter, was released two days ago; pandoc 3 comes with new ConTeXt-related features on which we've spend a good bit of time: - *Syntax highlighting*: Pandoc makes use of the syntax definitions and styles created by the KDE project to highlight source code. This already worked with HTML, LaTeX, and formats like docx, and is now also supported for ConTeXt. - *Inline code*: older versions of pandoc had some weird behavior wrt inline code in ConTeXt, switching between `\type` and `\mono`, which made it difficult to customize the output. This has been fixed. - *Tagging-focused output*: Calling pandoc with `--to=context+tagging` creates markup that is geared towards the creation of tagged PDFs. This can be combined with `-V pdfa=3a` to produce accessible PDFs from various input sources. - *Unlisted/unnumbered headings*: Headings with class "unnumbered" are not numbered; those with class "unlisted" get omitted from the ToC. - *Figures*: We have improved support for figures considerably, and now also support subfigures. This is currently most noticeable when converting from HTML to ConTeXt. Downloads and full changelog: https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/releases/tag/3.0 I'm grateful for any and all feedback, including tips on how to improve pandoc further. Cheers, Albert -- Albert Krewinkel GPG: 8eed e3e2 e8c5 6f18 81fe e836 388d c0b2 1f63 1124

Hi folks, I forked the New Typesetting System (NTS) as KeenType. KeenType is a 100% pure Java library/app that can generate SVG diagrams from plain TeX documents. Here's a list of the changes (and sample output): https://github.com/DaveJarvis/KeenType/releases/tag/1.0.0 Here's how typesetting appears in KeenWrite: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DaveJarvis/KeenType/main/docs/images/keen… Special thanks to Hans and Taco who, no doubt, played important roles in bringing the original NTS to life. My sincere gratitude to any NTS developers who may be reading. For further details, see: https://github.com/DaveJarvis/KeenType/ Cheers!

font features in the wiki
by Pablo Rodriguez 22 Jan '23

22 Jan '23

Dear list, since Hans has asked me for an addition to the wiki, I was thinking of adding a complete explanation of font features. I must admit that https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Featuresets wouldn’t be the best way that I would choose to explain this. Of course, I don’t want to impose my view on this topic. I wonder whether it would make sense that I start a new article on font features and when finished, see the way to merge the contents from the featureset. I’m especially asking Idris, Hraban and MHB. Of course, I might be wrong and I’m happy to be corrected about my proposal on font features in the wiki. Many thanks for your help, Pablo

rewrite for Greek in the wiki
by Pablo Rodriguez 22 Jan '23

22 Jan '23

Dear list, just in case it might help, I’ve rewritten the Greek entry in the wiki: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Greek Although nobody seemed to have mentioned them (afaIk), there are two issues: 1. Hyphenation patterns are different for ancient, monotonic and modern polytonic Greek. Greek ortography was polytonic before 1982. ConTeXt includes patterns for ancient and monotonic Greek, but none for modern polytonic Greek (http://mirror.ctan.org/language/hyph-utf8/tex/generic/hyph-utf8/patterns/te…) Ironically, modern polytonic Greek patterns would be required to typeset both the act and the decree that introduced the monotonic ortography. 2. Greek doesn’t seem to have language-dependent commands (such as \currentdate). In both cases, Hans will reply that nobody asked for any of them. Of course, I totally agree. AfaIk, nobody asked for these features. Just in case it might help, Pablo

Change in \vec behavior
by Jean-Philippe Rey 22 Jan '23

22 Jan '23

Hello, As I usually do at the end of each year, I upgraded my ConTeXt installation. I noticed a change in \vec behavior which doesn't extend the arrow anymore. Here is my example: \starttext Engine: \texenginename\ \texengineversion \ConTeXt: \contextversionnumber \type{$\vec{AB}$} : $\vec{AB}$ \stoptext The result with the latest ConTeXt version: and with the version from a year ago: I am aware that I could use \overrightarrow, but I prefer the shape and position of the \vec arrow, especially with single letters. What is the rationale for the change in \vec? Is there a way to get the previous behavior back? Thanks, -- Jean-Philippe Rey jean-philippe.rey(a)centralesupelec.fr 91192 Gif-sur-Yvette Cedex - France Empreinte PGP : 807A 5B2C 69E4 D4B5 783A 428A 1B5E E83E 261B BF51

A new version of the PocketDiary module and a collection of examples for creating calenders
by Willi Egger 20 Jan '23

20 Jan '23

Hi everybody, I uploaded a new version of the PocketDiary module to the ConTeXt garden. The version 2.2 is providing the calendar functionality as it is presented in PocketMods (https://pocketmod.com/) It includes day, week, month and year tables. There are two variations of the outcome. The first is that the module creates a week calendar with eahc working day on one page and the weekend on one page. The other version allows to setup an individual setup of the pages. This module also comes with a couple of templates for general information keeping. The new version includes also sun and moon data calculations. The latest version now calculates the Daylight Saving Time automatically for America and Europe or none if desired. Next to this I uploaded a collection of calendars based on the PocketDiary module’s machinery. These calendars are typeset either as A6 or A5 sized pages printed on A4 paper and impositioned for making books.. There is also a photo-calender on A4 paper. Calendar types included are: year calendar with 1 day per page, year calendar with 1 week on two facing pages, a menu calendar and a sun and moon data calendar. Also included in this collection is a so called date-driven list generator. This allows to produce lists with any kind of date interval in days for any duration. It allows to adjust the number of columns in the list as well as changing the column heads to the requirements of the list. I hope that some of you might find this helpful. Kind regards Willi

question about multimedia renderings
by Pablo Rodriguez 16 Jan '23

16 Jan '23

Dear list, I’m planning to add an explanation about multimedia inclusion to the wiki, but first I wanted to discuss an issue I have found. I have the following sample (adapted from scrn-wid.mklx): \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext \null\page \definerenderingwindow[myrenderingwindow] [width=\textwidth, height=\textwidth, %openpageaction=StartCurrentRendering, %closepageaction=StopCurrentRendering, openpageaction=StartRendering{\currentrendering}, closepageaction=StopRendering{\currentrendering}, framecolor=red] \startTEXpage[offset=1em, pagestate=start] \userendering[key-name][video/mp4][video.mp4] [embed=yes, auto, ] \placerenderingwindow[myrenderingwindow][key-name] \stopTEXpage \null\page \stoptext \userendering[][][auto] would enable automatic play or stop when the page with the rendering is reached or left (respectively). I cannot get it working. Neither do work the commented lines in \definerenderingwindow. Inspecting the PDF code, the screen annotation only gets an additional actions dictionary (https://opensource.adobe.com/dc-acrobat-sdk-docs/standards/pdfstandards/pdf…) with /PO and /PC entries, when open and close page actions are set to StartRendering{\currentrendering} and StopRendering{\currentrendering}. Just for reference, this is the screen annotation object with the additional actions dictionary: 13 0 obj << /Type /Annot /A << /AN 13 0 R /OP 0 /R 12 0 R /S /Rendition >> /AA << /PC << /AN 13 0 R /OP 1 /R 12 0 R /S /Rendition >> /PO << /AN 13 0 R /OP 0 /R 12 0 R /S /Rendition >> >> /Border [ 0 0 0 ] /P 14 0 R /Subtype /Screen /T <FEFF006B00650079002D006E0061006D0065> /Rect [ 12.353668 12.353668 437.54664 437.54664 ] >> endobj And this is what I get with \userendering[][][auto]: 13 0 obj << /Type /Annot /A << /AN 13 0 R /OP 0 /R 12 0 R /S /Rendition >> /Border [ 0 0 0 ] /P 14 0 R /Subtype /Screen /T <FEFF006B00650079002D006E0061006D0065> /Rect [ 12.353668 12.353668 437.54664 437.54664 ] >> endobj Could anyone be so kind to confirm the issue?

Why does \doifsomething think there is content?
by Joel 15 Jan '23

15 Jan '23

I am creating a book that presents readers with a list of recommended materials. If materials are listed, then its displayed under the \subject{Materials} heading in a simple itemized list. I'm using \doifsomething{} to check if any items are listed. The problem I'm having is, when fed a blank macro, `\define\needsoven{}` it thinks there is content, so it displays the "Materials" heading, but an empty list. I have a custom macro that determins "if oven is needed" independent of these other items. So I need `\define\needsoven{}` to be regarded as nothing. How can I get \doifsomething{} to think \define\needsoven{} is an empty value? --Joel My minimal working example is below: \define\needsoven{} \define[1]\materialsneeded{% \doifsomething{#1}{ \subject{Materials} \startitemize #1 \stopitemize } } \starttext \chapter{Recipe 1} \materialsneeded{\needsoven} \subject{Instructions} Spread peanut butter on sandwich. \chapter{Recipe 2} \materialsneeded{\item pizza cutter \item stove} \subject{Instructions} Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. \stoptext

by Willi Egger 12 Jan '23

12 Jan '23

Good morning! Last night I updated LMTX on my Raspberry Pi4. — After this action it appeared, that I could no-more compile tex-files: error no format found. I tried to generate a format manually., however this did not work out. In the log-file the following error is placed: …/anch-pgr.lmt:901: unexpected symbol near ‘0” ... error loading file: anch-pgr.lmt (aborting). Kind regards Willi

binaries in latest
by Pablo Rodriguez 12 Jan '23

12 Jan '23

Dear list, as already reported in another thread, bimaries (for Linux64) weren’t updated with current latest (2023.01.04 11:35), Just in case it might help others (and to fix the issue), deleting the file tex/texmf-linux-64.tma allows the download of newer binaries (although the name for your platform should be different in other OS). Just in case it might help, Pablo

regular online meet-up
by Henning Hraban Ramm 11 Jan '23

11 Jan '23

You’re invited to join on Wednesday, January 11th, 15:00 CET (UTC+1) at https://lecture.senfcall.de/hen-rbr-rku-oke (same, but shorter: https://v34h.de/ctxmtg) ConTeXt users of all levels are welcome! Next meeting will be on February 8th. (Same blurb as every time:) [Howto] * No special software installation required; most modern browsers should work (WebRTC required). * Open the above URL, accept the privacy statement, * enter your name, * click "join" (or "start" if you’re the first), * click "with microphone", allow your browser to access it, check the audio. * Your microphone is muted if you join. Activate microphone and/or camera with the buttons at the bottom. * Minimize the default presentation with the "screen" button, bottom right. * If you’d like to share your screen or upload a file, you can make yourself the presenter: Click on your user name, change the setting, then you’ll see the "screen sharing" button beside the camera button; also there’s now "manage presentations" behind the "plus" button. Beware there is only one presenter at a time, so don’t kill someone else’s presentation. [Technical hints] * Sound is usually better if you use a headset (less noise for everyone). * Connection problems are mostly due to low bandwidth or high latency on your side, e.g. with mobile connections. * If audio/video doesn’t work for you, you can still use the text chat. * Screen sharing needs a lot of bandwidth. * BigBlueButton documentation applies: https://bigbluebutton.org/teachers/tutorials/ [Netiquette] * Please use a name that we recognize from here. Some feel uncomfortable with anonymous lurkers. * Mute your microphone while you’re not talking. * It’s nice to show your face at least when you join. * If there are connection problems, stop camera sharing. * The room is set to “everyone’s a moderator“, I trust you... See you, Hraban

Issue with location parameter in matrix
by Jacob Kauffmann 09 Jan '23

09 Jan '23

Hi all, Thank you for your recent assistance with calligraphic math fonts. I am trying to use a matrix example from math-ali.mkxl, but I am running into an issue. When I try to use the location parameter, I receive the error A <box> was supposed to be here. I have also tried both location=bottom and location=top, but both give the same error. Do you have any ideas on how I can get the matrix in the desired locations? Thank you in advance for your help. Best regards, Jacob \starttext \startformula \startmatrix[left={\left(},right={\right)}] \NC A \NC B \NR \NC C \NC D \NR \stopmatrix = \startmatrix[left={\left(},right={\right)},location=low] \NC A \NC B \NR \NC C \NC D \NR \stopmatrix = \startmatrix[left={\left(},right={\right)},location=high] \NC A \NC B \NR \NC C \NC D \NR \stopmatrix \stopformula \stoptext

TUG 2023
by Thomas A. Schmitz 07 Jan '23

07 Jan '23

Hi everybody, an excellent year 2023 to all of you - I hesitate to say "it can only get better from 2022." That's what we thought last year, and boy were we wrong and did it get worse... Let's hope that this year will be more peaceful and less pandemic... But to my topic: the official announcement for TUG 2023 is out. It will be in Bonn, Germany, in a building literally (literally!) just across the street from my university office. So I feel somewhat motivated to go and give a talk on ConTeXt and spread the word. Since I'm a simple user and no developer, I'm a bit hesitant though: is any of the developers going (Hans?)? Since the public will be 99 % LaTeX-centric: I had the idea of showing (off) how ConTeXt can typeset xml and produce different outputs from the same source (similar to what I've done in Bassenge in 2019). Those of you who have been to TUG conferences before: would that be of interest even to people who know little to nothing about ConTeXt yet are familiar with other forms of TeX? I guess I just what to get a feeling what to expect at a TUG conference. All best wishes Thomas

MP figure continuation

Dear list, Is there a way to "continue" an MP figure? Like keeping the axes, etc. and just adding code to the figure? Maybe I missed something, otherwise I'd find it super useful. Thanks in advance and happy new year, Alex

How to buy a copy of NTG MAPS 52 (2022.1)
by Keith McKay 06 Jan '23

06 Jan '23

Colleagues Can someone point me as to where I can purchase a copy of MAPS 52 (2022.1) published by the Nederlandstalige TeX Gebruikersgroep last year? I am not a member of the NTG and it is too early for it to be freely available for viewing on their site, but I would like to read the article by Fabrice Larribe "MetaFun for generative art (English)" within that volume. The article was also mentioned in Chapter 7 of the manual "On Target". Best Wishes Keith McKay

\autoinsertedspace fails
by Rik Kabel 06 Jan '23

06 Jan '23

Happy New Year all! Following up on the problem with \autoinsertnextspace (https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2022/107111.html) and the new \autoinsertedspace that came from that report, I see that there is still a problem, or perhaps a problem again after it was previously repaired. The following code, run under the latest (and recent previous) version, produces an incorrect result, with no space inserted where expected in many cases. As the first examples after \starttext show, the problem appears to be with \autoinsertedspace, but perhaps I am using it incorrectly in the macro as well. \starttexdefinition unexpanded BD \dodoublegroupempty \doBD \stoptexdefinition \starttexdefinition doBD #1#2 \removeunwantedspaces\ % insert a space ( \ifsecondargument #1|–|#2 \else\iffirstargument #1– \else {\red I NEED A DATE OR DATES!} \fi\fi ) \autoinsertedspace \stoptexdefinition \tt \starttext This\autoinsertedspace fails unexpectedly with autoinsertedspace.\par This\autoinsertedspace \emph{fails unexpectedly} with autoinsertedspace.\par This\autoinsertnextspace works with autoinsertnextspace.\par This\autoinsertnextspace \emph{fails} as expected with autoinsertnextspace.\par Saussure\BD{1857}{1913} works.\par Saussure \BD{1857}{1913} \emph{works}.\par Saussure \BD{1857}{1913}.

Hi Hraban, I had a similar problem with math fallbacks (no errors, fallbacks not used) and just found a solution. Please find a small example below. I don't understand why we need the line \definefontfamily, but it's necessary for the fallbacks to work. Also, it stops working when I do \setupbodyfont[mainface,rm].

lmtx upload
by Hans Hagen 04 Jan '23

04 Jan '23

Hi, I uploaded the first 2023 lmtx. There are not that many changes, most relate to updating manuals. Currently we're looking at the metafun / luametafun and lowlevel manuals - adding some accumulated todo's. Keep in mind that when we update manuals that is is not automatically reflected in new pdf's (processing happens outside the tree on temporary paths) and only occasionally I push back a pdf (when it looks ok). So, manual sources can be more up to date than manual pdfs. If you feel something (fundamental and stable) is missing you can let us know here. We gained some performance over the last month, mostly due to using different low level mechanisms (there are some more not yet widely used ones). The gain depends on (extreme) usage so quite likely most goes unnoticed unless one has many runs. After all, there are no fundamental changes in context, which is already reasonable optimized for ages (it's kind of a game to make it faster without obscuring the code, which is a criterium for rejection). As usual, (new and old) bugs will be fixed, Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Ajami script

I just read this: https://www.bu.edu/articles/2022/fallou-ngom-discovers-ajami-african-writin… And now I’d like to know if ConTeXt is capable of typesetting this variant of Arabic. (Just out of curiosity, I can’t read any Arabic and don’t know any African language.) Hraban

numbering questions
by Henning Hraban Ramm 01 Jan '23

01 Jan '23

A happy new year to everyone! I’m playing with some examples of section numbering. * Is there a setup to influence the order of number segments? I.e. can I have “section.chapter.part“ instead of “part.chapter.section”? * How can I format the segments, e.g. to get two or three digits each (leading zeros)? * I can force a section number with “ownnumber”, but the next one is back in the previous scheme. Itemize has “start”. How can I start section chapter numbering at 3 (or -1 or whatever; I know I can start at 0 with “zero”) and let ConTeXt continue from there? My example tries to (ab)use the section numbering for a date (e.g. for a diary): ----- \definestructureconversionset[default][n,n,month,n][n] \definestructureseparatorset [default][-,-,-,-] \definehead[Year][chapter] \definehead[Month][section] \definehead[Day][subsection] \define[2]\TitleCmd{#1} % number only \setuphead[Year,Month,Day][number=yes,page=no,command=\TitleCmd] \setuphead[Year][page=yes] %\setuphead[Month][] \setuphead[Day][style={\ss\bf}] \def\Dummycontent{ \dorecurse{12}{ \startMonth New Month. \dorecurse{5}{ \startDay Another day. \stopDay } \stopMonth }} \starttext \startYear[ownnumber=2023,title=This] A new year begins. \Dummycontent \stopYear \startYear Next year. \Dummycontent \stopYear \stoptext ----- Hraban

issue with font
by Pablo Rodriguez 01 Jan '23

01 Jan '23

Hans, I have the following sample. \starttext \definedfont[TruetypewriterPolyglott-mELa.ttf] \input zapf \stoptext I get a fatal error in the font file (both LMTX and MkIV). Font is https://www.fontspace.com/truetypewriter-polyglott-font-f14955 (direct donwnload from https://www.fontspace.com/get/family/zmmx1) I don’t know what is wrong in the font, but it would be great to be able to use it with ConTeXt. Many thanks for your help, Pablo

Adding support for German language to the Words conversion
by Marcus Christopher Ludl 31 Dec '22

31 Dec '22

Hello all, this is my first contribution to this mailing list. 😄 Recently, when I posted a question on StackExchange.com regarding adding support for another language (German) to the "Words" conversion in ConTeXt (see here: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/657534/how-to-add-support-for-anoth…) @mickep suggested that I post the patched file (core-con.lua) to the mailing list, once I have it finished, so that it can be added for all to use. So, now that I'm confident my code works well, I would like to do just that. 😄 How should I proceed? Should I just send the file including my new code as an attachement to the mailing list? Or would it be preferrable to paste only the new parts of the code inline into an e-mail? Is that even the correct mailing list or would it be better to send this to dev-context(a)ntg.nl? Best, Marcus

language identifier for all languages
by Pablo Rodriguez 30 Dec '22

30 Dec '22

Hi Hans, as already mentioned in a previous thread (https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2022/106713.html) I think it might be useful to have an identifier for any language, such as in: \setuphyphenation[method=traditional] \registerhyphenationexception[*][macOS] \registerhyphenationexception[any][macOS] \registerhyphenationexception[it][macOS] \startbuffer \currentlanguage: \hyphenatedword{macOS} \stopbuffer \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=1em] \getbuffer \language[it]\getbuffer \stopTEXpage \stoptext I think this is better than having other commands to add hyphenation exceptions for all languages. I wonder whether Steffen would be fine with this addition. Many thanks for your help, Pablo
