Adjust kern for one character
by Rik Kabel 26 Dec '19

26 Dec '19

List, Is there a way in ConTeXt to adjust the left-side kern for one character? The cap J in the font I am using is being set too close to the preceding characters and I would rather not insert a thinspace before each. (Inserting a thinspace is sufficient, but finer control is welcome.) -- Rik

There is no mentioning in the red section that n is possible. However the n in the green section must be used as the symbol with n=123 or symbol=2. The n-key is used to set the number of columns when you set your items in multiple columns and it has the same effect as the two, three etc. keywords. The way how numbered items work is different. To change the symbol for the bullets or use numbers instead ConTeXt checks if the applies keywords include the name of a symbol (something you create with \definesymbol) or the name of a number conversion (something you create with \defineconversion) and applies it to the current entry. This check also you to create your own symbols or numbers orders by simply creating a new symbol and conversion. Wolfgang

Problem loading a font
by Mohammad Hossein Bateni 23 Dec '19

23 Dec '19

Hi, Here's a simple MWE: ============== \starttext Default {\definedfont[ALMFixed]ALM} Default \stoptext ============== I have the "ALM Fixed" font installed (otf from https://ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/almfixed) I do not see any errors in the output. In particular, Context sees the font and the logs contain the following line: mkiv lua stats > loaded fonts: 3 files: almfixed.otf, latinmodern-math.otf, lmroman12-regular.otf Yet, the output from lmtx does not display the "ALM" string, though its place is reserved on the line. The same file typesets fine with mkiv. Thanks --MHB

Symbol Footnote Command
by Aykut Aykutt 23 Dec '19

23 Dec '19

Hi, I can change the mark of the second footnote from "2" to asterix by defining a conversion like so: %-- Working example, but it is not what I need -- \setupindenting[yes,small] \defineconversion[mymix][1,\m{*},2] \setupnotation[footnote][align={hz,hanging},indenting={yes,small,next},numberconversion=mymix] \startdocument This is the first sentence with a footnote.\footnote{This is the first footnote and its mark is "1".} This is the second sentence with a footnote.\footnote{This is the second footnote and its mark is "*". } This is the third sentence with a footnote.\footnote{This is the third footnote and its mark is "2". } \stopdocument Clearly this conversion repeats the marks "1", "*" and "2" repeatedly. Is there a way to define a new/special footnote command (say, "\symfootnote") which blends with normal footnotes, but prints footnotes with symbol marks (say, Set 2) and not with numbers. In other words, is it possible to achieve the same result as the working example above with something like the (pseudo) example below? %-- Pseudo example -- \setupindenting[yes,small] \def\symfootenote ?????????? \setupnotation[symfootnote][align={hz,hanging},indenting={yes,small,next}] \setupnotation[footnote][align={hz,hanging},indenting={yes,small,next}] \startdocument This is the first sentence with a footnote.\footnote{This is the first footnote and its mark is "1".} This is the second sentence with a footnote.\symfootnote{This is the second footnote and its mark is "*". } This is the third sentence with a footnote.\footnote{This is the third footnote and its mark is "2". } \stopdocument Thank you.

Disappearing font feature
by Rik Kabel 22 Dec '19

22 Dec '19

List, I have a strange case of a font feature disappearing when many fonts are used. In creating a sampler for the Jost* font (free at https://indestructibletype.com/Jost.html) and using its feature ss01 to get single-storey lower-case a, the font reverts to the default two-storey a when many weights are shown. When I create the fonts with \definefontfamily, the upright weights are fine and the italic weights revert. When I create the fonts with \definefont, the reverse is the case. Below is the demonstration for the \definefont variation and a snip of the failing result. \definebodyfontenvironment[13pt] [interlinespace=15pt] \setuplayout [backspace=0pt, topspace=30pt, width=middle, height=middle, location=middle, header=0pt, footer=0pt] \setuppagenumbering [location=] \definefontfeature [default] [default] [ss01=yes] \definefont [JHair] [jost-100-hairline] \definefont [JThin] [jost-200-thin] \definefont [JLigh] [jost-300-light] \definefont [JBook] [jost-400-book] \definefont [JMedi] [jost-500-medium] \definefont [JSemi] [jost-600-semi] \definefont [JBold] [jost-700-bold] \definefont [JHeav] [jost-800-heavy] \definefont [JBlac] [jost-900-black] \definefont [JHairI][jost-100-hairlineitalic] \definefont [JThinI][jost-200-thinitalic] \definefont [JLighI][jost-300-lightitalic] \definefont [JBookI][jost-400-bookitalic] \definefont [JMediI][jost-500-mediumitalic] \definefont [JSemiI][jost-600-semiitalic] \definefont [JBoldI][jost-700-bolditalic] \definefont [JHeavI][jost-800-heavyitalic] \definefont [JBlacI][jost-900-blackitalic] \startbuffer [Sampler] A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z à ë í ô ç 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 ` \texttilde\ - = ! @ \# \$ \letterpercent\ ^ \& * ( ) _ + [ ] \textbackslash\ ; ' , . / \{ \} \| : " < > ? \fontname\font \blank [line] \stopbuffer \setupalign [middle] \starttext \obeylines \JHair \getbuffer[Sampler] \JThin \getbuffer[Sampler] \JLigh \getbuffer[Sampler] \JBook \getbuffer[Sampler] \JMedi \getbuffer[Sampler] \JSemi \getbuffer[Sampler] \JBold \getbuffer[Sampler] \JHeav \getbuffer[Sampler] \JBlac \getbuffer[Sampler] \page \JHairI \getbuffer[Sampler] \JThinI \getbuffer[Sampler] \JLighI \getbuffer[Sampler] \JBookI \getbuffer[Sampler] \JMediI \getbuffer[Sampler] \JSemiI \getbuffer[Sampler] \JBoldI \getbuffer[Sampler] \JHeavI \getbuffer[Sampler] \JBlacI \getbuffer[Sampler] \stoptext Below is the demonstration for the \definefontfamily variation and a snip of the expected result, although the italics fail. \definebodyfontenvironment[13pt] [interlinespace=15pt] \setuplayout [backspace=0pt, topspace=15pt, width=middle, height=middle, location=middle, header=0pt, footer=0pt] \setuppagenumbering [location=] \definefontfeature [default] [default] [ss01=yes] \definefontfamily [up-one] [sansserif] [Jost] [tf={style:hairline,features}, bf={style:thin,features}, bi={style:light,features}, it={style:book,features}] \definefontfamily [up-two] [sansserif] [Jost] [tf={style:medium,features}, bf={style:semi,features}, bi={style:bold,features}, it={style:heavy,features}] \definefontfamily [up-three] [sansserif] [Jost] [tf={style:black,features}, bf={style:black,features}, bi={style:black,features}, it={style:black,features}] \definefontfamily [it-one] [sansserif] [Jost] [tf={style:hairlineitalic,features}, bf={style:thinitalic,features}, bi={style:lightitalic,features}, it={style:bookitalic,features}] \definefontfamily [it-two] [sansserif] [Jost] [tf={style:mediumitalic,features}, bf={style:semiitalic,features}, bi={style:bolditalic,features}, it={style:heavyitalic,features}] \definefontfamily [it-three] [sansserif] [Jost] [tf={style:blackitalic,features}, bf={style:blackitalic,features}, bi={style:blackitalic,features}, it={style:blackitalic,features}] \startbuffer [Sampler] A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z à ë í ô ç 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 ` \texttilde\ - = ! @ \# \$ \letterpercent\ ^ \& * ( ) _ + [ ] \textbackslash\ ; ' , . / \{ \} \| : " < > ? \fontname\font \blank [line] \stopbuffer \setupalign [middle] \setupbodyfont [up-one,13pt] \starttext \obeylines \ss\tf\getbuffer [Sampler] \ss\bf\getbuffer [Sampler] \ss\bi\getbuffer [Sampler] \ss\it\getbuffer [Sampler] \switchtobodyfont [up-two] \ss\tf\getbuffer [Sampler] \ss\bf\getbuffer [Sampler] \ss\bi\getbuffer [Sampler] \ss\it\getbuffer [Sampler] \switchtobodyfont [up-three] \ss\tf\getbuffer [Sampler] \page \switchtobodyfont [it-one] \ss\tf\getbuffer [Sampler] \ss\bf\getbuffer [Sampler] \ss\bi\getbuffer [Sampler] \switchtobodyfont [it-two] \ss\tf\getbuffer [Sampler] \ss\bf\getbuffer [Sampler] \ss\bi\getbuffer [Sampler] \ss\it\getbuffer [Sampler] \switchtobodyfont [it-three] \ss\tf\getbuffer [Sampler] \stoptext Assistance or explanation is welcome.

How to use together lmt_axis, lmt_grid and lmt_function
by Otared Kavian 22 Dec '19

22 Dec '19

Hi, I am experimenting the new LuaMetaTeX features introduced recently, but I can't get the built-in features together. To explain the problem I encounter, I want to draw the graph of a function on a grid in which the x-axis and the y-axis are alos drawn. Now lmtx has the « instances » (if I am not wrong…) named lmt_axis, lmt_grid and lmt_function which separately work fine, but I dont see how to use them simultaneously by keeping the correct scaling. In the minimal example below, copied from luametafun.pdf, the graph of the function $f(x) := (x - 1)^2$ should be drawn by showing its minimum at $x = 1$, and its value at $x = 0$ should be equal to 1. However the graph on the grid does not show this. Moreover the axes do not match the grid. This means that I have not understood how to give the same units and scales in the three instances lmt_axis, lmt_grid and lmt_function. Thanks for any help: Otared K. PS: here is a minimal example % begin grid-axis-function.tex \starttext \startplacefigure \startMPcode{doublefun} draw lmt_grid [ nx = 10, ny = 10, dx = 1, dy = 1 ] xsized 5cm withpen pencircle scaled .1pt withcolor "darkblue" ; draw lmt_axis [ nx = 10, ny = 10, dx = 1, dy = 1, ] xsized 5cm withpen pencircle scaled .5pt withcolor "darkred" ; draw lmt_function [ xmin = 0, xmax = 2, xstep = .05, ymin = 0, ymax = 1.5, code = "(x - 1)*(x - 1)", ] xsized 5cm withpen pencircle scaled .75pt ; \stopMPcode \stopplacefigure \stoptext % end grid-axis-function.tex

Moving horizontally a whole ensemble of layers in the same run?
by Rudolf Bahr 17 Dec '19

17 Dec '19

Hi Hans, assume we fixed between "\definelayer" and "\flushlayer" a whole ensemble of layers on a page. And by calculating per luacode we determined the leftmost and the rightmost edge of the ensemble and would now like to horizontally centre the ensemble. We don't know the rightmost edge before we placed the last layer. By luacode we can calculate how much the centring movement should be, because we know "\textwidth", but we cannot save the calculated centring value in the context program for another run. Saving the luacode values of hundred of pages in flattened lua tables would be possible, but rather awkward; the problem of relating pages to tables would arise, especially when pages are taken out or additional pages are inserted. Do you know a way to settle the centring in the same context run in which the layers are placed? Could "\flushlayer" perform it somehow? Rudolf

Very strange behaviour of itemize, \quotation and \dots
by Otared Kavian 17 Dec '19

17 Dec '19

Hi Hans, Last week I sent you a PDF showing a strange behaviour of \startitemize and \quotation in LMTX. I finally could nail down the origin of the problem: it seems that if the command \setupsynctex[state=start] is present twice at the beginning of the document, then the combination \item and \quotation and \dots prevents the item to be shown correctly… (In my case I was typesetting a document with the above command in which a file containing it also was \input). Below is the minimal example and its PDF. Best regards: OK % begin file: bug-itemize-lmtx.tex \setupsynctex[stat=start] \setupsynctex[state=start] % if this is removed then everything is fine… \setupquotation[style=italic,left={«~},right={~»}] \showframe \starttext \startitemize[n] \dorecurse{4}{\item This item \quotation{is shown correcly\dots} \item This item \quotation{\dots is not shown correctly}} \stopitemize \stoptext % end file: bug-itemize-lmtx.tex

ConTeXt is not causing me any problems. I just wanted to thank the developers for creating such a useful tool, and for providing such excellent support. I have just received copies of my 730 page hard cover book that chronicles part of my immediate family's life together, created by programmatically converting Libre Office documents to ConTeXt, and a bit of manual tweaking. It would never have been possible to produce such a book in such a short time without a tool like ConTeXt, and, unfortunately, time is short for me. Thank you again for making it possible to create such an important book for me and my family.

Dear list, With the example below (perhaps not minimal, but I have stripped out as much as I could), the second page is set completely in the color of the overlay. This also happens when a layer is used instead of an overlay. When tagging is turned off, the colors are what they should be. When a few lines are removed from the first page, the colors are correct as well, but ... Attached is the resulting pdf. LMTX 20191206 only. MKIV 20191206 is fine.

math align broken
by Mikael P. Sundqvist 15 Dec '19

15 Dec '19

Hi, I hope this report is not a duplicate of another one. I updated lmtx today (from http://lmtx.pragma-ade.nl/install-lmtx/context-linux-64.zip, a fresh install in the folder), and found some strange things with math: The file %%% EXAMPLE \starttext \startformula \startalign \NC \int e^{2x}\sin 3x\,dx\NC=\int\Im e^{(2+3i)x}\,dx\NR \NC\NC =\Im\int e^{(2+3i)x}\,dx\NR \NC\NC = \Im\Bigl(\frac{1}{2+3i}e^{(2+3i)}\Bigr)\NR \stopalign \stopformula >From this we see that $\lim_{n\to+\infty}f(n)=0$. \stoptext %%% gives the attached ex1.pdf. As we can see the spacing inside \startalign \stopalign is wrong. Also, the "lim" in the example after the displayed formula has disappeared. Any clues? /Mikael (I tried in any case to remove cache and rebuild, but since it was a fresh install, I could not see why it could help here. Thought I mention it anyways.)

Bug inline math in lmtx

Hi Hans, It seems that the bug which was reported recently is again there: inline math does not show some symbols (lmtx version 2019.12.12 19:35). However mkiv version 2019.12.12 19:23 MKIV beta fmt: 2019.12.14 works fine. Here is a minimal example. \starttext Let $f(x) := \sum_{n \geq 1}2^{-n}x^n$. \stoptext Best regards: OK

Dear Otared, > I updated the wiki page for installing LuaMetaTeX on MacOS: > > https://wiki.contextgarden.net/installing_luametatex Thank you for the wiki. It explains the complicate processes well. As I wrote in the last mail, I don’t have a problem of installation as before. At this time, I don’t need to change SIP and the options of Gatekeeper in Mac OSX Catalina. Since I downloaded “install.sh”, it is inexecutable at the first time. But it worked well after allowing its running in the preference>security tab once. I don’t know why there is no problem at all as before. There may be some changes in the new beta. For test, I installed the new beta once more and confirmed that it is installed well and running well. However, your description is very useful when “install.sh” needs a permission of execution again and again. Thank you for your helpful advice again. Best regards, Dalyoung

Dear Hans, I downloaded the new beta today. It installs files and makes format file well. I compiled a test file without any problem. Of course, there is a security issue of OSX, but allowing the execution in the preference>security once, it doesn't ask about again. I also run a test file containing a new graphic feature of LMTX and I got a nice output. Thanks!!! Best regards, Dalyoung P.S. Here is a beginning part of log file.

lmtx
by Hans Hagen 12 Dec '19

12 Dec '19

Hi, The last few days there have been reports about garbled files in the lmtx installation so I did some test oinon a linux machine and indeed there was some issue (I'm not sure what causes it). Anyway, I made new zips so maybe one needs to reinstall (using the installer zip). It installs okay on wsl so probably also on other linuxes. This version (luametatex 2.03.3) has (again) a little smaller mem footprint as I still want it all to perforem ok on relative small devices or vm's and as side effect a bit smaller format file, not that that matters much (compared to general mem usage). There is not much to gain anyway, in terms of memory usage and performance so it's more an occasional challenge than a neccessity I guess. Anyway, hopefully nothing got broken. Peter Rolf and I are updating some of the pdf validation related stuff (additional formats), so that can be in flux.

Using lmtx and new metafun
by Otared Kavian 12 Dec '19

Hi Aditya, Following your explanations in https://adityam.github.io/context-blog/post/new-metafun-interface/ I wrote an environment in order to display the graph of a function on a grid which can be adapted to each case. Assuming that I have an MPinstance named GridAxis (for example) which can dispaly a grid and axes, how can I call it and write a line such as draw function (1,"x","x*x/4 - 2.5",xmin,xmax,.001) scaled sx ; without changing the part whichh is included in \startMPdefinitions, in oder to draw the above function on that grid ? Thanks for your help: Otared PS: Here is my definition of GridAxis (I guess many parts of it could be better written…) \defineMPinstance[GridAxis] [ format=metafun, extensions=yes, initializations=yes, method=double, ] \startMPdefinitions{GridAxis} def GridAxisPlot = applyparameters "GridAxisPlot" "do_GridAxisPlot" enddef ; presetparameters "GridAxisPlot" [ xmin = -2.5, xmax = 2.5, ymin = -2.5, ymax = 2.5, dx = 1, dy = 1, sx = 5mm, sy = 5mm, scale = 0.5, grid = true, xaxisnumbers = true, yaxisnumbers = true, showmyorigin = true, style = "\switchtobodyfont[8pt]", ]; vardef do_GridAxisPlot = image ( pushparameters "GridAxisPlot"; newnumeric xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax; xmin := getparameter "xmin"; xmax := getparameter "xmax"; ymin := getparameter "ymin"; ymax := getparameter "ymax"; newnumeric sx, sy; sx := getparameter "sx"; sy := getparameter "sy"; newnumeric dx, dy; dx := getparameter "dx"; dy := getparameter "dy"; newpath xaxis, yaxis; xaxis := (xmin*sx, 0) -- (xmax*sx, 0) ; yaxis := (0, ymin*sy) -- (0, ymax*sy) ; newpath xtick, ytick; xtick := (-0.1sx, 0) -- (0.1sx, 0); ytick := (0, -0.1sy) -- (0, 0.1sy); newstring style; style := getparameter "style"; pickup pencircle scaled .1mm ; newboolean grid; grid := getparameter "grid"; newboolean xaxisnumbers ; xaxisnumbers := getparameter "xaxisnumbers" ; newboolean yaxisnumbers ; yaxisnumbers := getparameter "yaxisnumbers" ; for x = dx step dx until xmax : if grid : draw yaxis shifted (x*sx, 0) withcolor 0.75white ; fi draw ytick shifted (x*sx, 0); if xaxisnumbers : label.bot(style & decimal x, (x*sx, 0)); fi endfor newboolean showmyorigin ; showmyorigin := getparameter "showmyorigin" ; if showmyorigin : label.lrt(style & "0", origin) ; fi for x = -dx step -dx until xmin : if grid : draw yaxis shifted (x*sx, 0) withcolor 0.75white; fi draw ytick shifted (x*sx, 0); if xaxisnumbers : label.bot(style & decimal x, (x*sx, 0)); fi endfor for y = dy step dy until ymax : if grid : draw xaxis shifted (0, y*sy) withcolor 0.75white; fi draw xtick shifted (0, y*sy); if yaxisnumbers : label.lft(style & decimal y, (0, y*sy)); fi endfor for y = -dy step -dy until ymin : if grid : draw xaxis shifted (0, y*sy) withcolor 0.75white; fi draw xtick shifted (0, y*sy); if yaxisnumbers : label.lft(style & decimal y, (0, y*sy)); fi endfor drawarrow xaxis; drawarrow yaxis; label.rt( style & "$x$", (xmax*sx, 0)); label.top(style & "$y$", (0, ymax*sy)); newpair p ; newnumeric scale; scale := getparameter "scale" ; popparameters; ) enddef; \stopMPdefinitions

Ebooks with ConTeXt?

What is the current status of epub support in ConTeXt? I have never followed ConTeXt's development on the XML front too closely, but recently I have been asked to help format a text-only manuscript for publishing on platforms such as Kindle or Apple Books Store. Can ConTeXt be used (or perhaps even recommended) for that? Or would I have better luck with the proprietary tools (Kindle Create, iBooks Author)? Nicola

Blank page inserted when text reaches column's end
by Thangalin 10 Dec '19

10 Dec '19

When text reaches the end of a column, it appears to trigger inserting a blank page. In the following code, \dorecurse{3} causes a blank page to appear but \dorecurse{2} does not. The only difference is that when set to 3, the additional text is written on the last line of the last column. This scenario results in a blank page. Any ideas how the blank page can be suppressed? \showgrid \setuplayout[grid=yes] \starttext \startcolumnset[n=2] \input knuth \input lorem \input lorem \input knuth \dorecurse{3}{No TV and no beer make Homer something something.} \stopcolumnset \stoptext Version: $ context --version mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 1.03 mtx-context | mtx-context | main context file: /opt/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/context.mkiv mtx-context | current version: 2019.06.11 19:20 Thank you!

by Bernd Donner 10 Dec '19

10 Dec '19

Hello, the following small sample illustrates the problem: \starttext \enabletrackers[math.stackers.texts] \math{\overbar {ABC}} %<-- somewhat okay \math{\overbar {F}} %<-- too short on the right side %manual fixing \math{\overbar {ABC\mkern\onemuskip}} \math{\overbar {F\mkern3\onemuskip}} \stoptext I wish to have an overbar that extends over the exact boundingbox of the letter or sequence of letters. How can this be done in context without manual fixing? Thnk you, Bernd Donner

Dear Dalyoung, Thank you for the good news! Now I will add to the wiki the procedure I described, which you followed, but we have to find a way for people to get a zip file containing a complete tree of LuaMetaTeX which can be installed « by hand » under MacOS 10.15 Catalina. Maybe Hans or Mojca have a suggestion in this regard. Best regards: OK > On 9 Dec 2019, at 15:21, Jeong Dal <haksan(a)me.com> wrote: > > Dear Otared, > > I followed your instruction.

Dear Otared, Thank you for the zip file. I downloaded it and copied it in a folder. (There is no context-cache folder in the zip file) In the terminal, I run “mtxrun —generate” and “context —make”. But system doesn’t allow the execution of “luametatex”. So I open the system preference:security part, and clear and allow the running “luametatex”. But the system hinders “luametatex” continuously. I have to ask about it to MAC service first to resolve this problem. If it is not working after the resolve security problem, I may go back to previous version of OSX. I’ll let you know the progress. Thank you again.

problem with a new installation of LMTX
by Jeong Dal 08 Dec '19

08 Dec '19

I read some reports about the problems of a new installation of LMTX. Today, I did fresh install and also have a problem in compilation. I did the following: 0. Open the terminal 1. Remove all files in the folder “ConTeXtLMTX” 2. Download install files from PRAGMA ADE. 3. run “install.sh”(at first, it won’t run because of the MacOS Catalina. I have to allow the running in the preference.) 4. it installs the folder “tex” and some files but context-cache is empty. And, it couldn’t compile test.tex I copied the log during the installation for checking. Thank you.

Re: [NTG-context] problem with a new installation of LMTX
by Jeong Dal 08 Dec '19

08 Dec '19

Dear Hans and Otared, Thank you again for your attempt to find a solution. Catalina(MacOS 10.15.1) prohibits an unauthorized program run. So I have to allow the execution of “mtxrun” manually in the preference. Since "mtxrun —generate” ends with the message “unknown script mtxrun-context.lua or mtx-mtxrun-context.lua”, I tried to locate it in the finder. There is one in a folder installed by MacTeX(TeXLive), but not in “ConTeXtLMTX”. As you said, many files are not copied during the installation. I’ll try to understand what is going on, but it would be very hard to find a solution by myself. I have to use old ConTeXt for a while. Thank you again. Best regards, Dalyoung

Hello Hans, Yes, the Linux install fails as well. I have just tried another. The output of context --make is attached.

For test, I installed again after removing ConTeXtLMTX folder. But it is same as before. I looked files in “/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin”. There are 5 files: context, context.lua, luametatex, mtxrun, mtxrun.lua. context and mtxrun are symbolic linked to luametatex. But luametatex is not executable, so I changed it using “chmod 755 luametatex”. I run “mtxrun —generate”, then it set variables as follows: % mtxrun --generate resolvers | resolving | variable 'SELFAUTOLOC' set to '/usr/local/texlive/2019/bin/x86_64-darwin' resolvers | resolving | variable 'SELFAUTODIR' set to '/usr/local/texlive/2019/bin' resolvers | resolving | variable 'SELFAUTOPARENT' set to '/usr/local/texlive/2019' resolvers | resolving | variable 'TEXMFCNF' set to '' resolvers | resolving | variable 'TEXMF' set to '' resolvers | resolving | variable 'TEXOS' set to 'bin' resolvers | resolving | ……. and do many things in the texlive/2019 folders. My question is that luametatex is distributed as an inexecutable form deliberately? Thank you for reading. Best regards, Dalyoung

Hi Hans, which is the way I can get the glyphs from the second line in the following sample? \definefontfamily[emoj][rm][Noto Emoji] \setupbodyfont[emoj] \starttext 🔔💻🔨🔩 󾓧󾓨󾓩󾓪󾓫󾓬󾓭󾓮 \stoptext Would it be possible that Noto Color Emoji font works with ConTeXt? I think this is handy, since they are useful in presentations. In fact, I need one flag (in the second line form the sample) for one presentation.

issue with beta from 2019.11.29 21:47 in Windows

Dear list, I have the following sample: \def\ThisOption{ab} \def\ThatOption{ábc} \starttext \executesystemcommand{contextjit --purgeall --arguments="OptionThis={\ThisOption},OptionThat={\ThatOption}" second.tex} \contextversion \stoptext The contents of second.tex read: \starttext \enablemode[\env{OptionThis}] \enablemode[\env{OptionThat}] This: \doifmodeelse{ab}{enabled}{disabled}.\par That: \doifmodeelse{ábc}{enabled}{disabled}. \stoptext I use --arguments to pass modes to documents compiled via \executesystemcommand. Everything worked fine. This morning I updated ConTeXt at work (with Win7) and modes with non-ASCII chars aren’t recognized. Could anyone confirm the issue I’m describing in Windows? Is there any ConTeXt command (or Lua function) that translates non-ASCII chars to their ASCII values? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

hz / expansion
by Hans Hagen 07 Dec '19

07 Dec '19

Hi, The latest lmtx has a new feature: expansion control independent of font specific settings. When used the font specific step stretch and shrink will be overloaded. This permits mixed setups that are normally nor possible because these three properties need to be consistent within a paragraph. It also permits local deviations from the defaults, for instance in more extreme cases. \startluacode local classes = fonts.expansions.classes classes.qualityb = { vector = "default", factor = 1, stretch = 8, shrink = 4, step = .5, } classes.qualitya = { vector = "default", factor = 1, stretch = 4, shrink = 2, step = .5, } \stopluacode \showframe % \enabletrackers[*expansion] \setupbodyfont[dejavu,8pt] \defineexpansion [myexpansion] [step=1, stretch=50, shrink=20] \definefontfeature [basea] [default] [expansion=qualitya] \definefontfeature [baseb] [default] [expansion=qualityb] \definefont[FontA][Serif*basea] \definefont[FontB][Serif*baseb] \setupalign[verytolerant,stretch,hz] \starttext \startbuffer \dorecurse {30} {% {\FontB \red test me #1,} \FontA \dorecurse{#1}{test ##1, }% }\par \stopbuffer {\getbuffer \page} \setexpansion[myexpansion] {\getbuffer \page} \stoptext Maybe it's useful (I hardly use expansion myself).

Filling a page with \thinrules
by Otared Kavian 07 Dec '19

07 Dec '19

Hi all, I am preparing a test for my students where I would like to have the statement of the problem on the top of a page and the remainder to the bottom of that page filled with \thinrules, for them to write the solution. And sometimes there might be an empty page filled with thinrules when the solution to the exercise is longer. The following minimal example gives the idea of what I want to achieve, but since the statement of each exercise may be longer or shorter, I would like ConTeXt to compute how many \thinrules can be put in the remainder of the page. That is, can one imagine a macro named (say) \fillpagewiththinrules which puts the exact number of thinrules before ejecting the page? Is this possible or have I to do it by hand for each page? \showframe \starttext \dorecurse{2}{\input knuth.tex\par} \thinrules[n=20] % On the first page I can put 20 thinrules \page \thinrules[n=40] % On an empty page I can put 40 thinrules \page \input ward.tex \thinrules[n=37] % On the third page there can be 37 thinrules \stoptext Thanks for any hint and help, Best regards: Otared K.

new beta
by Hans Hagen 06 Dec '19

Hi, I uploaded a new lmtx beta. Hopefully the installer works ok as I redid some of the "zip" related code (simpler, smaller binary too). FWIW, the luametatex codebase is now pretty close to okay, but of course there can be bugs, but nothing thay can't be solved fast. Given some earlier discussions on the list, I wonder about running context in containers and (behind the screens) web applications. Is there anything needed, mostly in the support scripts I guess, that can make that more comfortable / efficient / etc?

Using ConTeXt with LuaTeX variants

I want to know if it's possible use HarfTeX/LuaHBTeX with ConTeXt (MKIV), mainly for what can be done with them (the "mode=harf" feature and Lua language features).

Impacts Project
by Thangalin 05 Dec '19

05 Dec '19

Hi list! Thank you for helping to answer so many questions and remove so many roadblocks with my project. The result is a photobook written in Markdown, piped through pandoc to generate ConTeXt code, then stylized using a series of .tex files. The coolest ConTeX part, IMO, is the orange dot in the timeline. Using MetaPost, the date for the timeline is read directly from the document, then plotted relative to the \overlaywidth. Changing the date in the Markdown document winds up repositioning the timeline dot automagically. https://impacts.to/ The book is going to be released under a CC BY 4.0 license, including all the source code necessary to generate the book. Meanwhile, if anyone is interested in nabbing a copy of the PDF, let me know (preferably via the web form). Again, my sincerest gratitude, this project would have been a much more time-consuming and arduous journey without your generous help.

Bug: \adjustspacing=1 does not disable expansion
by Henri Menke 05 Dec '19

05 Dec '19

Dear devs, The \adjustspacing register is described in the LuaTeX manual as follows: When \adjustspacing has value 2, hz optimization will be applied to glyphs and kerns. When the value is 3, only glyphs will be treated. A value smaller than 2 disables this feature. However, setting \adjustspacing=1 will only disable shrink but not stretch. Please find a minimal example example, where I have used exaggerated values for shrink and stretch to emphasize the issue. It can be reproduced with both mtxrun --script plain and luatex with luaotfload.sty. I have already checked linebreak.c but add_to_widths looks innocuous and properly checks the adjust_spacing parameter. Cheers, Henri --- %\input luaotfload.sty \directlua{ fonts.expansions.setups.default.stretch = 2000 fonts.expansions.setups.default.shrink = 2000 } \adjustspacing=1 \font\1="file:lmroman10-regular.otf:expansion=default" \hsize=5em \1 \input lorem \bye

Indenting number in TOC, particular numbering scheme, and other questions
by Daniel Haid 04 Dec '19

04 Dec '19

Hello everyone, I just started to experiment with ConTeXt. I have a few issues with my first document structure. I need a very particular numbering scheme, which I have tried to implement. I have appended the document below. 1. Why is there no indenting in the TOC starting with (what I call) level 7? This could have to something with the fact that the levels starting from 7 are defined in the subsub module? 2. Why are the numbers in the headings inside the main text not printed for levels 8 and 9? Interestingly, they *are* printed for level 7, which is defined in the subsub module. I have looked into m-subsub.mkiv and saw no difference at all between the different levels defined there. 3. Is it possible to indent not only the section name but also the number in the TOC? Moreover, I would like to have a dot after the first three levels, but not the other ones (in the TOC and in the text), like this: A. First Level .................. 1 I. Second Level ............. 2 1. Third Level .......... 3 a) Fourth Level ..... 4 ... 4. I use the conversions A, I, 1 (without dot), and then defined my own ones "a)", "aa)", etc. *with* the ")". I think this is correct, since the way a section has to be referenced in the text is like this (for example): B.IV.5.c).aa).(4) Is there a way to get this? Moreover, is it possible to have a relative referencing command, for example, if section B.IV.5.d) is quoted from inside section B.IV.6.f) the command should only print 5.d) since the B.IV is implied. 5. How can I get rid of the additional vertical space before the second entry "B. Another first level" (chapter)? 6. I wanted to define aliases for the \subsub...subsection commands, since they are difficult to read, and I used \def as you can see below. Is this the right way to do it or would you recommend something else? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hans, thanks for your answer. But two questions: First: Am I right to assume that the important part is `\GetPar`. The rest is syntactic sugar to make to code more ConTeXt-like, right? Second: For some reasons I have not received your message. It wasn't in the Spam folder and I usually receive mails from the list. Any ideas? Are there some known problems?

Abstracting styles
by Juraj Fiala 28 Nov '19

28 Nov '19

Hi, I’m trying to learn ConTeXt, but I’m discovering a few hurdles along the way. Essentially what I currently want to do is to emulate paragraph styles found in other software, e.g. Scribus. After several hours of research all I have in my head is a complete mess of conflicting approaches, so I’d like to get some sane present-day advice. :-) Say I wanted to achieve this (as a rough example, the point is mixing weights and OpenType features in different contexts): Heading 1: Source Serif Semibold, smcp=yes, 12% letter-spacing Heading 2: Source Serif Semibold Emphasis: Source Serif Regular, smcp=yes, 8% letter-spacing What is the most straightforward way should I load the fonts and set the ‘styles’? Thanks!

Dear list, I’m teaching with R this term, and I tried (without success) the R-module (I think the path of R is not found). Having no time to test and find out the problem, I have tried with success knitr (with is Rmarkdown code converted to latex-beamer). But I’m missing Context… My understanding is that the R-module is working only with mk-ii. Is there people in this list using successfully the r-module with mk-iv ? Thanks, Fabrice.

ConTeXt as a service

Hi everyone, Is it possible to run ConTeXt as a service on a server? If yes, is there documentation about this? Background: I'm currently on the PKP conference, and we are discussing OJS plugins for automated PDF production. I was wondering if ConTeXt could be an option... Best, Denis P.S.: I'll be giving here a brief introduction to XML typesetting with ConTeXt to spread the word... just to let you know.

LuaTeX incompatible with Lua
by Henri Menke 21 Nov '19

21 Nov '19

Dear list, The following Lua script behaves differently when executed in Lua vs. LuaTeX. print(os.execute("date")) It seems that the definition of os_execute in loslibext.c was copied over from Lua 5.1 and not adapted to newer versions. $ lua5.1 test.lua 0 $ lua5.2 test.lua true exit 0 $ lua5.3 test.lua true exit 0 $ texlua test.lua 0 $ luajit test.lua 0 $ texluajit test.lua 0 As you can see from the example, this comes with the additional complication that LuaJIT has Lua 5.1 behaviour and should also retain that.

ConTeXt as a service
by Brian Ballsun-Stanton 20 Nov '19

20 Nov '19

In reply to: https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2019/096313.html I personally run ConTeXt as a service (as a sort of do-it-yourself Overleaf). I use floobits (https://floobits.com/Denubis) as an intermediary code server, and their floomatic sevice(https://floobits.com/help/floomatic) running on a server I have. That then calls a shell script that invokes ConTeXt, which writes logs and pdfs to an nginx monitored folder. It's been running for about 4 years now and has been solid enough for me to use without thinking too much about. Happy to share code and details. My deployment is super-hacky, but it works? -Brian

setup according to total numbers
by Pablo Rodriguez 20 Nov '19

20 Nov '19

Hi Hans, this is related to a previous message (https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2019/096253.html) I don’t know how hard could to implement them, but it would be useful to be able to setup xtables and lists based on the total number of columns, rows and items. Some cases would be: - Set a different width in list if their total number of items is more than 9 and another one if items are more than 19. - List iwith alphabetic numbering when it contains fewer items than 5 and with digits in other case. - Stretch xtable to width, if it contains more than 4 columns. - Stretch xtable to height, if it contains more than 10 rows. Sure, there may be plenty of other cases in which being able to setup xtables and list based on the total number of their elements would be handy. I wonder whether it would be possible to have commands that provide the number of these elements to be used to set them up. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

two issues with inmargin attachments
by Pablo Rodriguez 20 Nov '19

20 Nov '19

Hi Hans, I have the following sample, using latest beta from 2019.11.14 17:07: \setuppapersize[A5] \showframe \setupinteraction[state=start] \setupinteractionscreen[option=attachment] \starttext a\attachment[file=xml-mkiv.pdf] b\attachment[file=mkiv-publications.pdf] c\attachment[file=onandon.pdf, location=inmargin] d\attachment[file=notnow.pdf, location=inmargin] e\attachment[file=about.pdf, location=text] f\attachment[file=i-context.pdf, location=text] \stoptext The default location seems to be "text", but when specified as option it prevents the attachment. The general configuration for location may be different, but in that case it seems impossible to use "text" for a single attachment. "location=inmargin" seems to place all /FileAttachment annotations on the same place (when from the same line, they have the same /Rect), as shown in the excerpt: 21 0 obj << /Type /Annot /NM (attachment:3) /Subtype /FileAttachment /Rect [ 35.54572 493.13349 41.52002 499.1078 ] >> endobj 22 0 obj << /Type /Annot /NM (attachment:4) /Subtype /FileAttachment /Rect [ 35.54572 493.13349 41.52002 499.1078 ] >> endobj Would it be possible that inmargin attachments allow more than one from the same line?

Exchangeing content of variables between luacode and context
by Rudolf Bahr 20 Nov '19

20 Nov '19

Hello All! To send variable contents from context to luacode I can put them into the function invocation or use 'tokens.getters.macro("TestA")', an interesting and very nice possibility to let luacode itself getting contents of context macros. The (only?) way back, from luacode to context, could be done by 'tokens.setters.macro("TestA","a")' [1] . Now, to store Luacode's variable contents permanently in context programs I could Luacode let copy my ConTeXt program to another place on disk with a newly defined macro inside. But, does somebody know (by chance) of another, more elegant possibility? I think giving back a value by "return" won't work.

ConTeXt: specify a path to font in \definefontfamily
by Krešimir Cindrić 20 Nov '19

20 Nov '19

I'm *very* new to ConTeXt, so please excuse the newbie question. I'm trying to load a font from a file. The .otf files are stored in a directory named fonts/ which is in the directory of the .tex file I'm trying to compile. This code does not work, and reverts to the default font: \definefontfamily [mainface][serif] [My Font] [tf=file:./fonts/MyFont.otf, it=file:./fonts/MyFont-It.otf, bf=file:./fonts/MyFont-Bd.otf, bi=file:./fonts/MyFont-BdIt.otf] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext\title{Hello, world!} Hello World! \emph{Hi!} \stoptext However, if I copy the .otf files into the same directory as the .tex file, and write tf=file:MyFont.otf etc, then everything works fine. How do I specify a relative path to the font, inside the .tex file? In LaTeX, I would use fontspec package and do the following: \setmainfont {MyFont.otf} [Path =./fonts/, ItalicFont = MyFont-It.otf] However, I couldn't find the equivalent syntax for \definefontfamily in ConTeXt. Just to mention, I am using ConTeXt version: 2019.03.21 21:39 as part of TeX Live, on Manjaro Linux. Regards, Krešimir

context command line interface documentation?
by Philipp A. 20 Nov '19

20 Nov '19

Hi, I want context to shut up, specifically the “mkiv lua stats” at the end are useless to me and make me scroll up for actual error messages, but better would be to just stop after the first error. I consulted the --help docs but found them entirely unhelpful. Also there’s no examples. As doing it wrong results in no error message or indeed any kind of effect, I was in the dark. First I consulted the --help and found: “--silent=list disable logcatgories (show list with --showlogcategories)”. What’s a “list”? comma separated? Do I need string delimiters? Whatever, executing “context --showlogcategories” tells me the log category “mkiv lua stats” exists, so: “context --silent='mkiv lua stats' doc.tex” does … nothing, the lua stats are still there mocking me. OK, let’s do what you do when there’s no documentation; dive in the code: “grep -C3 'batchmode' /usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/context/lua/mtx-context.lua” This tells me that there’s a “errorstopmode” in luatex but no way to make the context script invoke “luatex -interaction=errorstopmode”, great. Diving deeper, “setblocked” in mtxtun.lua checks if --silent=all is specified, nice! But that affects everything EXCEPT for the “mkiv lua stats”. Therefore the two most useful ways to run context (--errorstopmode and --silent='mkiv lua stats') seem impossible unless one writes a wrapper script. Would be cool to have this fixed. And to have actually useful documentation instead of having to deep-dive into mtxrun.lua. Best, Philipp PS: I filed http://tracker.luatex.org/view.php?id=1014 and http://tracker.luatex.org/view.php?id=1015

Hi everyone, My goal is to have a PDF that - allows users to input numeric information in various fields, - makes calculations on the data in those fields, - ...and reports that information somewhere in the PDF. It seems that the widget support could handle this, but I'm struggling to understand how the pieces go together; does anyone have an example of this use case I could puzzle over? Many thanks! -Paul
