Re: [NTG-context] notes in the margin
by Henning Hraban Ramm 12 Feb '18

12 Feb '18

Ahoi, I’m still working on this issue. For the usual cases, the current mechanism is good (see attachment). * I gave up on the number placement in its own line (without text indent). * Footnotes in captions mostly disappear. * Footnotes in captions or other boxed environments (chapter title in my case) get misplaced, e.g. if a figure is narrower than \textwidth, the margin note is moved into the textarea by the difference. \startplacefigure[location=here,title={Some caption\footnote{Source of the image. This disappeares or gets misplaced}}] \externalfigure[cow]%[width=.8\textwidth] \placelocalfootnotes % doesn’t change anything \stopplacefigure * Further, in some cases it would be good to move the margin note by a few lines higher or lower. \inmargin has this first parameter: "+ - low" in reference, e.g. \inmargin [method=first,voffset=-6pt] in source typo-mar.mkiv) I just need a way to transfer this option through \footnote: I used a global definition that I redefine where I need it: \def\FNVOffset{0} % vertical shift of footnotes in negative lines % this is unclean, but works quite well \define\PlaceFootnote% {\inmargin[voffset=\dimexpr-\FNVOffset\lineheight\relax]{\vtop{\placelocalnotes[footnote][before=,after=]}}} \def\FNo#1{{\ss\tfx #1}} \setupnote[footnote] [location=text, bodyfont=, indenting=no, before={\noindent}, next=\PlaceFootnote] \setupnotation[footnote][ way=bychapter, align=flushleft, style={\ss\tfx}, indenting=no, location=serried, alternative=serried, width=broad, numbercommand=\FNo, ] \setuptexttexts[margin][] [{\framed[ align={flushleft,bottom}, frame=off, height=\textheight, width=\rightmarginwidth]{% \strut\vfill\placenotes[footnote]}}] \setupmargindata[inmargin][location=outer,stack=continue,align=flushleft,style={\ss\tfx}] \setupmargindata[inouter][location=outer,stack=continue,align=flushleft,style={\ss\tfx}] Greetlings, Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD

Dear Wolfgang, “\setupmathematics[integral=nolimits]” did what I want. If I knew this two weeks ago, I saved my time to edit formulas. I should ask for this feature two weeks ago.

Typesetting an interview
by Henning Hraban Ramm 12 Feb '18

12 Feb '18

Ahoi, I’m trying to typeset an interview and thought, a "description" might be the best setup. But I can’t find the right parameters for the layout I want... Every contribution should look like: """ HHR Here’s the text, question or answer. OTR And here’s the next one. Might have several lines. """ Working example: \definedescription[Interview][ headstyle=italic, style=normal, align=flushleft, alternative=hanging, ] \def\dostartInterview[#1][#2]% {\doifsomethingelse{#2}% {\startInterview[reference={#1},title={#2}]}% {\startInterview[title={#1}]}% } \def\startInt{\dodoubleempty\dostartInterview} \def\stopInt{\stopInterview} \starttext \chapter{An Interview} \startInt[{Hennning Hraban Ramm (HR)}] This might be a short question or a long response. Name or initials of the person should stand in their own line (without breaking), while the answer should be indented, without additional paragraph indent. \stopInt \startInt[{Hans Hagen (HH)}] And I’m sure the author has something to say. \input tufte \stopInt \startInt[HR] \input knuth \stopInt \startInt[HH] \input zapf \stopInt \startInt[thankyou][HR] This might also have a reference. \stopInt \stoptext Greetlings, Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD

Midsentence alias
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 11 Feb '18

11 Feb '18

Dear gang, Midsentences in the ConTeXt sense are quite common. Consider the following: ======= \setuplanguage[en] [leftsentence={{} \endash\nobreakspace}, rightsentence={{} \endash\nobreakspace}, leftsubsentence={{} \textbar\nobreakspace}, rightsubsentence={{} \textbar\nobreakspace}, midsentence={{} \endash\nobreakspace}] \starttext This is a sentence|<|this is a subsentence|>|that includes a subsentence. \blank This is a sentence|<|this is a subsentence|<|this is a nested subsentence|>|that includes a nested subsentence|>|that includes a subsentence. \blank This is a sentence that ends in a midsentence\midsentence Here is the midsentence. \stoptext ======= A primary subsentence or nested subsentence is marked off by |<| and |>| respectively. Is there an analogous symbol for a midsentence, which requires a mark only at its beginning? If not, how can I make a private one? For example: This is a sentence that ends in a midsentence|<>|Here is the midsentence. How can I properly define |<>| to be an alias for \midsentence, in a way consistent with the rest of the subsentence mechanism? Note: Could only find one reference to midsentence in the sources: lang-ini.mkiv, line 354 If this is not already supported, would like to propose that |<>| be added to ConTeXt as an alias for \midsentence. BTW: It may appear that one can just use |<| to mark a midsentence, but then the next subsentence in the document will be treated as a nested subsentence. Thank you in advance!

placing a wide float at the bottom
by Henning Hraban Ramm 11 Feb '18

11 Feb '18

Ahoi, while \placefigure[bottom]{}{\externalfigure[hacker][width=\textwidth]} works just fine, I get "top" placement with \placefigure[bottom]{}{\externalfigure[hacker][width=\paperwidth]} I.e. if the figure exceeds \textwidth, bottom placement fails. I’m actually trying to place page wide images including bleed. I’d guess this is a bug. Or can I do anything about it?

To \getbuffer or to \input: which one is it better?
by Otared Kavian 10 Feb '18

10 Feb '18

Hi all, In a project using the \setvariables command of ConTeXt, a file containing more than 200 instances of a structure resembling (but with much more fields…) \setvariables[talk] [speaker={Dr Some Speaker}, title={Some title}, room={Some Room}, ] is input several times, in order to extract from these variables one or more informations to be typeset, for different types of documents. However I don’t know whether this is a wise solution, or is it better to define once and for all a buffer and then use the \getbuffer command for each of the different uses in my global document. For now, unfortunately, I cannot come up with a minimal example because the question I am asking is about a real situation where nothing is minimal. That is why I am asking a general abstract question to understand the general philosophy underlining the buffer commands versus the \input command. Thanks in advance for any hint: OK

Unexpected emergency stop
by Tim Steenvoorden 10 Feb '18

10 Feb '18

Dear all, After some time I’m back to ConTeXt and I dug up some old macros. I used to define a \see macro to automatically insert labels like “chapter”, "figure" etc. in front of a reference based on the structure of the label. Below you'll find its definition. It worked in MKIV about two years ago, nevertheless, now ConTeXt hangs when placing punctuation after the command. I.e. TeX hangs with an emergency stop (“*" on the terminal) after all files have been processed (after cont-yes.mkiv is closed). What am I doing wrong that such a thing happens? I’m on macOS 10.13.3 with minimals beta 2018.02.09 00:04.

Hi Otared, Thanks for your response. In mkii this worked flawlessly. I tried it in mkiv Texlive too (2017.05.15 21:48), but it does not work.

bug with special hyphenation?
by Pablo Rodriguez 09 Feb '18

09 Feb '18

Dear list, I have been experiencing an issue with the new hyphenator for months (or maybe almost a year), but it took me a while to discover what was triggering it. First, the mandatory sample: \startluacode function document.addfunnyhyphen(tfmdata) local underscore = utf.byte("_") local char = tfmdata.characters[underscore] if not char then return end tfmdata.characters[0xFE000] = { width = 0, height = 0, depth = 0, commands = { { "right", -char.width }, { "down", char.depth }, { "slot", 1, underscore }, } } end utilities.sequencers.appendaction("aftercopyingcharacters", "after","document.addfunnyhyphen") local shared = { start = 1, length = 1, before = utf.char(0xFE000), after = nil, left = false, right = false, } local all = table.setmetatableindex({ }, function(t,k) return shared end) languages.hyphenators.traditional.installmethod("sha", function(dictionary,word,n) return all end ) \stopluacode \definehyphenationfeatures [sha] [characters=all, alternative=sha, righthyphenchar="FE000] \unexpanded\def\sha#1% {\begingroup\tt \sethyphenationfeatures[sha]% \setuphyphenation[method=traditional]% #1% \endgroup} \showframe \starttext some sha \sha{8b984688efec2}.\par \sha{8b984688efec2}\hskip0pt.\par {\sha{8b984688efe3a}\hskip0pt.}\par \stoptext Just in case you wonder, I need this to add SHA512 sums of attached files to PDF documents. (I have mixed the code from different samples that Hans gave me in replies to diverse questions.) If I use the \sha command right before a point, I get: - Only the first and the last character from the especially-hyphenated text are formatted with the monospaced font. The other ones are formatted with the Roman font. - The point outside the command is formatted with the monospaced font, instead of the Roman one. - It might be possible that hyphenation could behave wrong in this case. The simplest way to avoid the issue seems to be to use a zero-width space. Have I hit an issue with the new hyphenator, or am I simply missing somehting? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Sending data from lua to context and back to lua
by Rudolf Bahr 08 Feb '18

Hello Contexteers! Sometimes the necessity could arise to send data from lua to context and answers back to lua. I tried this by using "read" and "immediate\write" commands in context. These commands are described in chapter 21 and 22 of Donald E. Knuth's "The TeXbook". My question is: Do there exist better and more simple solutions? Here is my WE which is admittedly a little bit ugly, but it works. Appended the pdf-output: ======================================================================== \starttext \startluacode tex.print("Here is lua.") tex.print(" ") tex.print("I'm sending some picture names to Context in order to get back their sizes.") local imageA = "2007-01-01---Intro.png" local imageB = "2007-01-01---Neujahrsballade---1.png" local imageC = "2007-01-01---Neujahrsballade---2.png" local f = assert(io.open("contextin.txt", "w")) f:write(imageA ..

Wrong Lua package loaded by 'require'
by Przemek Wesolek 08 Feb '18

08 Feb '18

Hi, I have problems using PGF graph drawing with ConTeXt. The problem is described on https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/414102/ It all boils down to Lua trying to load wrong file. When require 'pgf.gd.control' is called, ConTeXt resolvers come into play and 'lua variable format' locates Control.lua -- note the uppercase letter here -- which cannot be loaded (on Linux) and 'require' fails: > sandbox > requiring: pgf.gd.control > resolvers > libraries > locating, level '1', method 'already loaded', name 'pgf.gd.control' > resolvers > libraries > locating, level '1', method 'preload table', name 'pgf.gd.control' > resolvers > libraries > locating, level '1', method 'lua variable format', name 'pgf.gd.control' > resolvers > libraries > lua format, checking 33 paths > resolvers > libraries > lua format, identifying 'pgf/gd/control.lua' using format 'tex' > resolvers > libraries > lua format, 'pgf/gd/control.lua' found on '/opt/texlive/2017/texmf-dist/tex/generic/pgf/graphdrawing/lua/pgf/gd/Control.lua' > resolvers > libraries > locating, level '1', method 'lib variable format', name 'pgf.gd.control' I suspect some part of the system (ConTeXt? kpsewhich? TeXLive?) messes up and the resolver instead of pgf/gd/control.lua hits pgf/gd/force/Control.lua. But I have plainly no experience in where to look... One more place, where I found some traces: in texmf-var/luatex-cache/context/a86c089b384a3076dc514ba966a1fac9/trees/929f6dbc83f6d3b65 dab91f1efa4aacb.lua file I have (in ["content"]["files"]) > ["control.lua"]={ "tex/generic/pgf/graphdrawing/lua/pgf/gd", "tex/generic/pgf/graphdrawing/lua/pgf/gd/force" } as well as (in ["content"]["remap"]) > ["control.lua"]="Control.lua" Clearly not OK.

Scale figure to fill a box
by Wolfgang Schuster 04 Feb '18

04 Feb '18

Hi Hans, I want to use a few graphics as page backgrounds but with the \scale command the image always stays within the borders of the page. Can you add a command (probably easier than adding such a function to \scale) which does as same as in the second row of the example below where the image extends outside of the borders of the frame. A option to clip parts – which can be disabled – of the image which are outside of the frame would be a nice extension to this command (e.g. in case you want a image in a table cell). \setupexternalfigure[location=default] \defineframed [PageBorder] [offset=overlay, rulethickness=2pt, framecolor=red, width=6cm, height=6cm] \starttext \startcombination[nx=2,ny=1,distance=4cm] {\PageBorder{\externalfigure[hacker][factor=fit]}}{} {\PageBorder{\externalfigure[mill] [factor=fit]}}{} \stopcombination \blank[4cm] \startcombination[nx=2,ny=1,distance=4cm] {\PageBorder{\clap{\externalfigure[hacker][height=6cm]}}}{} {\PageBorder {\externalfigure[mill] [width=6cm]}} {} \stopcombination \stoptext Wolfgang

Presentation sections identified by color and mark
by jmmora＠us.es 04 Feb '18

04 Feb '18

Hi, I'm starting a presentation with ConTeXt. I'd like to visually differentiate each section, so I've come up with two complementary approaches to do that: * Use a different color palette for each section, and * Mark the progress bar to indicate the start of each section. I've done an small example (at the end) but: * Last Subject of a Topic take color from next Topic. (e.g. "Some greenB") * I don't like interactionBar styles provided. I'd like something like: |-----|-|-----|--|------ (horizontal line and a vertical line at the begin of each section and a vertical line of different color for current position) other option I like: ######%%@@@@@@HHH&&&&&&& (each letter represents a color.

Django: using ConTeXT mkiv to output PDF

i have a small Django app <https://bitbucket.org/kaddourkardio/kardiology> to manage my patients data, and use LaTeX to output reports. It consists un a *parent* model called Patients and child models Consultation , StressEcho and so on. With LaTex this works without problems def courrier_pdf(request, pk2, pk1): entry = Courrier.objects.get(pk=pk2) source = Patient.objects.get(pk=pk1) context = dict({'courrier': entry, 'patient': source})#buffer = BytesIO()template = get_template('courrier/courrier.tex') rendered_tpl = template.render(context, request).encode('utf-8')#Python3 only. For python2 check out the docs!with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as tempdir: # Create subprocess, supress output with PIPE and # run latex twice to generate the TOC properly. # Finally read the generated pdf. for i in range(2): process = Popen( ['xelatex', '-output-directory', tempdir], stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE, ) process.communicate(rendered_tpl) with open(os.path.join(tempdir, 'texput.pdf'), 'rb') as f: pdf = f.read() r = HttpResponse(content_type='application/pdf') r.write(pdf)return r i tried with this view in order to use ConTeXT but without success def courrier_mkiv(request, pk2, pk1): entry = Courrier.objects.get(pk=pk2) cource = Patient.objects.get(pk=pk1) context = dict({'courrier': entry, 'patient': cource})# buffer = BytesIO()template = get_template('courrier/courrier.mkiv') rendered_tpl = template.render(context, request).encode('utf-8')with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as tempdir: process = Popen(['context', '--result', tempdir], stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE, ) process.communicate(rendered_tpl) with open(os.path.join(tempdir, 'textput.pdf'), 'rb') as f: pdf = f.read() r = HttpResponse(content_type='application/pdf') r.write(pdf)return r My feeling is that the problem is in the workspace since i get logfiles in the root of my app Here is log file from ConTeXT: open source > level 1, order 1, name '/home/kaddour/context/tex/texmf- context/tex/context/base/mkiv/cont-yes.mkiv' system > system > ConTeXt ver: 2018.01.04 17:37 MKIV beta fmt: 2018.1.4 int: english/english system > system > 'cont-new.mkiv' loaded open source > level 2, order 2, name '/home/kaddour/context/tex/texmf- context/tex/context/base/mkiv/cont-new.mkiv' close source > level 2, order 2, name '/home/kaddour/context/tex/texmf- context/tex/context/base/mkiv/cont-new.mkiv' system > files > jobname 'tmpy82c5j7i', input '/tmp/tmpy82c5j7i', result 'tmpy82c5j7i' fonts > latin modern fonts are not preloaded languages > language 'en' is active tex error > tex error on line 8 in file /home/kaddour/context/tex/texmf- context/tex/context/base/mkiv/cont-yes.mkiv: !

\setvariables and database module
by Otared Kavian 02 Feb '18

02 Feb '18

Hi all, I need to create a document using a database and the \setvariables command (which I understood thanks to Wolfgang Schuster). Everything works fine except that using the approach below I need to change the entries in the database by enclosing each entry between a pair of braces {}, because otherwise the macro I have imagined does not work as expected. In the example below the first line of entries is treated correctly, while the second one is understood wrongly by my macro \maketalk defined below in the minimal example. It is indeed possible, in theory, to change the database file so that each entry is enclosed in a pair of braces, but I would like to avoid that mainly because I am not the one who produces nor maintains that file and I want to avoid modifying a copy of that file myself. How can I change my approach to this problem in order to achieve what is needed? Many thanks for any hint. Best regards: OK % begin database-command.tex \usemodule[database] \starttext \startbuffer[pagetalk] \starttabulate[|f{\bi}l|p|][before=]% \NC Speaker \EQ \goto{{\sc \getvariable{talk}{speakername}}}[fig:\getvariable{talk}{speakername}] \NC\NR \NC Title \EQ \getvariable{talk}{title} \NC\NR \stoptabulate \startplacefigure[number=no] \externalfigure[\getvariable{talk}{picture}] \stopplacefigure \page \stopbuffer \setvariable{talk}{set}{\getbuffer[pagetalk]} \define[3]\maketalk{% \setvariables[talk]% [speakername={#1}, title={#2}, picture={#3}, ]} \defineseparatedlist[seplisttalk] [separator={;}, first=\maketalk ] \startseplisttalk {Hacker} ; {Up to date hacking} ; {hacker.jpg} % this works fine Hacker ; Up to date hacking ; hacker.jpg % this does not work: the macro takes only the three characters H a c \stopseplisttalk \stoptext % end database-command.tex

Expansion help needed, getvariable and TABLE
by Rik Kabel 31 Jan '18

31 Jan '18

Listers, I have a problem, and a question on ConTeXt programming efficiency. In the example below, I have a set of variables. When these are reference directly via \getvariable, everything works as expected in simple text and in TABLEs. When I \define a macro to the \getvariable, that works in simple text, but only the value of the last iteration appears in the TABLE. The macro definition is saved and when it is used, that is the value that it has. So, how can I \define (or \def, ...) a macro to the expanded value to avoid this? That is the problem. The question is, Is there is any advantage to be had in doing this? Assume that the value is referenced many (tens of) times. There seems to be an aesthetic value of factoring out the multiple identical instances of the \getvariable syntax and assigning a more semantically informative name, but beyond that, is there any other value? % macros=mkvi engine=luajittex \setvariables [one] [a=1a,b=1b] \setvariables [two] [a=2a,b=2b] \define \Sets {one,two} \starttexdefinition unexpanded doInlineText #SET Direct: \getvariable{#SET}{a} \getvariable{#SET}{b}\par \stoptexdefinition \starttexdefinition unexpanded doTableRow #SET \bTR \bTC\getvariable{#SET}{a}\eTC \bTC\getvariable{#SET}{b}\eTC \eTR \stoptexdefinition \starttexdefinition doInlineTextExp #SET \define\A{\getvariable{#SET}{a}} \define\B{\getvariable{#SET}{b}} Factored: \A\ \B\par \stoptexdefinition \starttexdefinition doTableRowExp #SET \define\A{\getvariable{#SET}{a}} \define\B{\getvariable{#SET}{b}} \bTR \bTC\A\eTC \bTC\B\eTC \eTR \stoptexdefinition \starttext \starttext \expandafter\processcommalist\expandafter[\Sets]\doInlineText \bTABLE[frame=off] \bTABLEhead \bTR[nc=2] \bTH Direct\eTH \eTR \eTABLEhead \bTABLEbody \expandafter\processcommalist\expandafter[\Sets]\doTableRow \eTABLEbody \eTABLE \expandafter\processcommalist\expandafter[\Sets]\doInlineTextExp \bTABLE[frame=off] \bTABLEhead \bTR[nc=2] \bTH Factored\eTH \eTR \eTABLEhead \bTABLEbody \expandafter\processcommalist\expandafter[\Sets]\doTableRowExp \eTABLEbody \eTABLE \stoptext -- Rik

about \placeindex: uppercase initial and lowercase initial, two languages
by Jeong Dal 28 Jan '18

28 Jan '18

Hi, To place the index at the end of the book, I put \placeindex before \stopproduct. It is compiled well. But, for the better output, I have two questions about the index. 1. In the output, it distinguished uppercase and lowercase initial. For example, S Squeeze theorem s set simple statements … Is there a way to make index combining the lowercase and the uppercase together as follows? s set simple statements … Squeeze theorem 2. The index shows the English letters first and the Koren letters follows. Although it is OK that English words are shown first, is there a way to make Korean words are shown first since the main language is Korean? Since I just use “\placeindex”, I don’t give a Minimal sample. Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung

Bug in interaction and button?

Hi Hans, While experimenting with \button according to your suggestions, I noticed that there might be a bug somewhere between interaction and the button command: the following code (sent by you some years ago…) works fine as expected in mkii but does not work in mkiv (neither the most recent beta, nor the stable one from TeXLive 2017). The link to jump to the figure works fine, but the one to jump back (PreviousJump) does not work in mkiv.

Correct usage of \placebookmarks
by Lars 26 Jan '18

26 Jan '18

Hello there, I've stumbled upon a behaviour in CTX that I don't fully understand. My goal is to create a multipage document *without* heads (title, chapter, etc) but only text. Yet I would like to create bookmarks. So my MWE looks the following: \setupinteraction[state=start] \setupinteractionscreen[option=bookmark] \definelist[Marks] \placebookmarks[Marks][Marks][force=yes] \starttext \bookmark[Marks]{Bookmark one} \input tufte \page \bookmark[Marks]{Bookmark two} \input knuth \stoptext Yet CTX doesn't create bookmarks in that case. I first have to add a blank predefined header like chapter or section anywhere in the text: \setupinteraction[state=start] \setupinteractionscreen[option=bookmark] \definelist[Marks] \placebookmarks[Marks][Marks][force=yes] \starttext \bookmark[Marks]{Bookmark one} \input tufte \page \bookmark[Marks]{Bookmark two} \input knuth \startchapter[title={},marking={}] \stopchapter \stoptext Although I haven't added chapter key to \placebookmarks, so that it also doesn't show up in the bookmarks window, only then CTX seems to create bookmarks for the list which I created called Marks. Is there a way to circumvent this? I'd like boomarks only where I place them manually, without using headers. Thanks in advance, Lars.

How to control the placement of a button
by Otared Kavian 26 Jan '18

26 Jan '18

Hi all, Some years ago Wolfgang Schuster answered a question about interactive buttons placed on a page in order to navigate in a PDF document. Somehow, unfortunately, I did not keep his complete answer, but kept just an example code he sent, which I copy below. So my question is: how can one control the placement of a button created by the commands \startbut[GoToDestination] NameOfTheButton \stopbut For instance if one wishes to put a button on the bottom, or even somewhere on a page? Is it possible to give coordinates, like when one places a layer? In the example below if the layout is modified then the buttons may disappear, since they might be out of the boundaries of the predefined locations of the buttons (which are unknown to me…). Thanks in advance: OK %%% begin button-example.tex \setuppapersize[S6,S6] \setuplayout [width=13cm, rightedge=1.5cm] \setupinteraction [state=start, menu=on] \setupinteractionmenu[right] [state=start, align=middle, background=screen, frame=on, width=broad, style=bold, color=] \startinteractionmenu[right] \startbut[content] $\leftarrow$ \stopbut % this button is too high on the page \vfill \startbut[index] $\rightarrow$ \stopbut % this button should be a little bit lower \stopinteractionmenu \starttext \completecontent \showframe \dorecurse{4} {\chapter{Chapter #1}\index{chapter #1} \input knuth \index{Knuth}\page} \completeindex \stoptext %%% end button-example.tex

notes in the margin

23 Jan '18

While I’m still waiting for answers to my other questions, I got some more: In my layout, left margin width is zero, but \inmargin always uses left margin.

It works like this: \setupnote[footnote][location=none] \setupnotation[footnote][ align=flushleft, location=serried, width=broad, ] \setuptexttexts[margin][] [{\framed[% align=right, frame=off, height=\textheight, width=\rightmarginwidth ]{\placenotes[footnote]}}] But I’d like the notes to start in the line of the marker, if there’s space.

Registers and getparameters

Three problems with ConTeXt standalone for armhf

Hi all, 1. the luatex binary for linux armhf is too old for the recent version of ConTeXt. It is a 1.0.3 from March 2017. 2. first problem would be not a so big one, but since development level 6505 I'm not able to compile the experimental luatex myself anymore. It compiles luajittex but not luatex. My call to build.sh is: sh ./build.sh --jit --parallel 1>compile.log 2>error.log I append the error.log. 3. In first-setup.sh is an entry for armv7l. On my system, "uname -m" shows armv8l. After every download of the script, I have to edit it. If someone adds a section for armv8l, I could use the original first-setup.sh without changing armv7l to armv8l. Greetings Lutz -- GPG Key ID 3C4F83BC

Dear list, When I use the numberstopper option in setupcaptions it appears unexpectedly in the references. The wiki states otherwise. Wiki and a working example are listed below. Kind regards, Bernard wiki: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupcaptions: numberstopper MKIV only. The numberstopper text follows the number and, if present, the suffix, and precedes the caption text. It does not appear in references. Working example: \setupcaptions[table][numberstopper={:}] \starttext \placetable[here][tab:ships]{Ships that moored at Hasselt.}{ \starttable[|c|c|] \HL \NC \bf Year \NC \bf Number of ships \NC\SR \HL \NC 1645 \NC 450 \NC\FR \NC 1671 \NC 480 \NC\MR \NC 1676 \NC 500 \NC\MR \NC 1695 \NC 930 \NC\LR \HL \stoptable } ...

Word and character count excluding TeX-directives
by Dr. Thomas Möbius 16 Jan '18

16 Jan '18

To meet some formal guidelines, I need to provide a word count of my abstract and a character count of the main text, and a character count of all the text appearing in figure captions. Is this possible (maybe using some lua-magic)? Thank you! Thomas Minimal example: \definestartstop [abstract] [style=bold, after={\blank[big]}] \starttext \title{My title: example of a word and character count} {\strut\tfx Formal guidelines: word count of abstract: $x$, character count of main text: $x$, character count of figure captions: $x$.} \blank \startabstract This is the abstract. Read this and that. \stopabstract % start of the main text Some random text with formulas \startformula y = α + βx + ε, \quad ε \sim N(0,σ^2) \stopformula And there are also figures with captions. \startplacefigure[ location=bottom, title={Residual plot with time $t$ on the x-axis and residuals $e_{jt}$ on the y-axis}, reference={fig:subject-residual}] \externalfigure[residuals][height=.242\textheight] \stopplacefigure And some more text with $x$ and $y$ and $z$, and \placeformula \startformula \startalign \NC a =\NC b \NR \NC c =\NC d \NR \stopalign \stopformula And stop. \stoptext

Labels and Enumerations
by Rik Kabel 16 Jan '18

16 Jan '18

I would like to request the restoration of labels (\definelabel) to full citizenship in MKIV. While enumerations are more flexible in many ways, they cannot replace one particular use of labels if find necessary. Enumerations are paragraph entities, while labels are not so restricted. I use labels displayed as numbers in the margin to serially identify quotations in a book about the development of quotation and misquotation, at the same time generating reference information for cross-referencing. While most quotations are blocks and can be handled by enumerations, many are in-line quotations, and enumeration cannot be used for these. The wiki describes enumerations as the MKIV replacement for labels, and the documentation as far as I can see omits \definelabel. Unless there is something else supported in MKIV that can assume this function of labels, can we please have full support for labels? I would not want to see labels deprecated before the functionality is reproduced. (Of course, if you can suggest how enumeration can be adapted to this requirement, or suggest an alternative mechanism, this request can be rejected.) -- Rik

context tarball distribution?
by Martin Fechner 15 Jan '18

15 Jan '18

Dear list, Our slightly paranoid system administrator refuses to pull context via rsync on our development and production hosts. He says there's no protection against someone who may tamper with the data on its transfer like e.g. TLS-protected traffic via https. So I got the following question from him: Can ConTeXt be obtained as a tarball or zipfile? Preferably with version identifiers in the name so he can ensure the parity of the installations across severeal host. Greetings, Martin

Firstline problem with smallcaps

When \setfirstline is used to set the first line of a paragraph in a small-cap style, the line is mis-set. This does not occur with every font and input, but occurs with most fonts and many inputs.

Command line tool for macro definitions
by Henri 14 Jan '18

14 Jan '18

Dear list, For TeX/LaTeX users there is the neat command line tool `texdef` with which you can show the definition of a macro. Here an example: $ texdef -t latex section \section: \long macro:->\@startsection {section}{1}{\z@ }{-3.5ex \@plus -1ex \@minus -.2ex}{2.3ex \@plus .2ex}{\normalfont \Large \bfseries } Is there something similar for ConTeXt? It is quite tedious to either grep the full source or setup an extra dummy document to use \show or \meaning. Cheers, Henri N.B.: I already asked this long time ago but got no response. https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2016/086249.html

Label problems with \definelabel and \defineenumeration, in and out of footnotes
by Rik Kabel 13 Jan '18

13 Jan '18

The example below documents the problems. In short, \definelabel suppresses paragraph indent when the label is at the beginning of a paragraph and fails to print the label or generate references with alternative=inmargin (or inright, or inleft) when in a footnote. \defineenumeration fails to work in a footnote. \setupindenting[yes,small] \definelabel [ID][ %\defineenumeration[ID][ text=, after=, before=, headcolor=red, alternative=inright, ] \starttext \starttitle[title={Label testing}] \startsubject[title={Problems with \tex{definelabel}}] This is a test. It is only a test. \ID[id1]This paragraph should be indented, with an ID number in the margin. When \tex{ID} is placed at the beginning of the paragraph, as it is here, the paragraph is not indented. This paragraph has a footnote.\footnote{% \ID[id2]The ID number is not printed in the margin with {\tt alternative=inright}, {\tt alternative=inmargin}, or {\tt alternative=inleft}. Without any {\tt alternative} the ID number is printed where the macro appears. The positioning is unsatisfactory using {\tt alternative=right}.% } The footnote has an ID number which should be printed in the right margin. This \ID[id3]paragraph has an ID, but it is not at the beginning of the paragraph and the paragraph is properly indented. The value of the ID number indicates that \tex{ID} in the footnote of the previous paragraph incremented the associated counter, but the failure of the references (\tex{in} and \tex{at}) to id2 suggests that there are other problems. \dorecurse{3}{ ID id#1 is \in[id#1] and is on page \at[id#1].\par} References for footnotes are generated without \tt{alternative=}. \stopsubject \startsubject[title={Problems with \tex{defineenumeration}}] When \tex{definelabel} is changed to \tex{defineenumeration}, the example fails to compile. It does not properly handle the \tex{ID} in the footnote, complaining of an extra \} or forgotten \tex{endgroup}. \stopsubject \stoptitle \stoptext -- Rik

Problem with definelabel and footnotes
by Rik Kabel 12 Jan '18

12 Jan '18

I have a document with hundreds of labels generated by \definelabel. They are used to index quotations in the text. Some of these occur in notes. Previously I had all such notes at the end of the book, as endnotes, but an editor requested a version with the notes as traditional footnotes. When the notes with labels appear in footnotes, the labels are not printed. The MWE below demonstrates the problem. I would expect to see a red 2 at the end of the first line of the footnote. I have tried to use \defineenumeration instead of \definelabel, but I cannot get a comparable result to what I have with definelabel. Is this a bug in the footnote typesetting, or a problem with my expectations? \setuppapersize[A6] \definelabel [Qi][text=,alternative=inright,headcolor=red] \definenote [pagenote] \setupnotation [pagenote][way=bypage,numberconversion=set 2] \definenote [endnote] \setupnotation [endnote][way=bytext,location=none,conversion=numbers] \starttext {\Qi}An index in the margin.\par Text with a numbered endnote with an index\endnote{% {\Qi}The numbered endnote with its index.

TOC and appendices
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. 08 Jan '18

08 Jan '18

Hello, I have document which contains Appendices. The part of appendices should be numbered form "A", contrary to the rest of the document (body part), which is to be numbered naturally from 1. Sections, even these in appendices, are numbered OK; the problem is that even sections of appendices in TOC are numbered by NUMBERS, not by letters. In the example, section "Sec A" is numbered well as "A SecA in the document", whilst in TOC it is marked as "1 SecA". So - how to tell TOC to use the same numbers (sectionconversionset?) to sections of appendices? Here is my ME: ---- \starttext \placecontent \startbodymatter \section{Sec1} In sec 1 \stopbodymatter \startappendices \definestructureconversionset[T][][A] \setupheads[sectionconversionset=T] \section{SecA} In sec A \stopappendices \stoptext ---- Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

xtables: rowwise, columnwise, and cellwise operations
by Henri 05 Jan '18

Dear list, The Natural Tables have this great feature that I can control the layout with rowwise, columnwise, or cellwise setups. For example: \starttext \setupTABLE [frame=off] \setupTABLE [r] [first] [topframe=on,bottomframe=on,style=bold] \setupTABLE [c] [2] [style=italic] \setupTABLE [2] [3] [color=red] \setupTABLE [r] [last] [bottomframe=on] \startTABLE \NC A \NC A \NC A \NC\NR \NC B \NC B \NC B \NC\NR \NC C \NC C \NC C \NC\NR \NC D \NC D \NC D \NC\NR \NC E \NC E \NC E \NC\NR \stopTABLE \stoptext How can I do such a thing with Extreme Tables? If it is not yet possible I'd like to request the inclusion of such a mechanism. Cheers, Henri

speaker notes in context presentations
by Gour 03 Jan '18

03 Jan '18

Hello! I'm about to start working on series of slide-show presentations for educational/teaching purposes... While I was investigating the possibility of using (Pandoc) Markdowm to author prsentation, I noticed that e.g. reveal.js (https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js) has capability to create 'speaker notes': "reveal.js comes with a speaker notes plugin which can be used to present per-slide notes in a separate browser window. The notes window also gives you a preview of the next upcoming slide so it may be helpful even if you haven't written any notes. Press the 's' key on your keyboard to open the notes window. A speaker timer starts as soon as the speaker view is opened. You can reset it to 00:00:00 at any time by simply clicking/tapping on it." However, just a thought that I would have to deal with downloading npm stuff, running local server etc. instead of just having single PDF file is not attractive to me at all. However, I know that one can do it with LaTeX Beamer class - see e.g. https://gist.github.com/andrejbauer/ac361549ac2186be0cdb and there are even applications to help with that like pdfpc: https://github.com/pdfpc/pdfpc and wonder what would be the best way to do it in ConTeXt and/or whether someone has some experience with ConTeXt-generated PDFs and e.g. pdfpc? Sincerely, Gour -- One who sees inaction in action, and action in inaction, is intelligent among men, and he is in the transcendental position, although engaged in all sorts of activities.

Module for Markdown: any volunteer to make a ConTeXt interface?
by Mojca Miklavec 24 Dec '17

24 Dec '17

Hi, There's a really nice module for processing markdown: https://github.com/Witiko/markdown that has been presented during the TUG meeting and is included in TeX Live. It theoretically works for ConTeXt (the output is perfectly usable), but it needs a cleanup of the user interface to turn the options on and off. For example, it would be nice to use something like \setupmarkdown [fencedCode=true] rather than \def\markdownOptionFencedCode{true} Is anyone willing to look into the code and help the author fix the interface? (I can add it to our distribution if needed.) Mojca

Question to Lua and Postgres (and ConTeXt)
by Tomas Hala 20 Dec '17

20 Dec '17

Hi all, I installed the module (I'm at CentOS 6.6) by yum install luasql-postgres, ok. Then I used: lua myscript.lua /usr/bin/lua myscript.lua /usr/local/bin/lua myscript.lua I discovered that it is version dependent: lua (=/usr/local/bin/lua) does not operate, it is 5.3, whereas /usr/bin/lua works ok, it is 5.1. At the command line, it is not a problem to choose another lua interpreter than the default one is. But if I use the same lua script within the ConTeXt, I came across the same problem because the default version in ConTeXt is 5.2. First, I thought about the way how to change version of lua inside the current version of ConTeXt (is it possible?) but the same behaviour appeared when I tryed older versions (TL 2010, 2011, 2012) containing lua v5.1 by the default. It seems that file postgres.so which is the main important is not visible for ConTeXt. Neither package.path = '/usr/lib/lua/5.1/luasql;', not copying the postgres.so to the current directory did not help. I have any clue how to fix it. Have you any ideas? Thanks in advance, Tomáš %%%%%%%% ! LuaTeX error <main ctx instance>:3: module 'luasql.postgres' not found: no field package.preload['luasql.postgres'] no file './luasql/postgres.so' no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/luasql/postgres.so' no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/loadall.so' no file './luasql.so' no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/luasql.so' no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/loadall.so' stack traceback: [C]: in function 'require' <main ctx instance>:3: in main chunk. %%%%%%%%

Dear list, sorry for probably a stupid question. The problem looks obvious, but I could not find a solution by googling the list archive. Suppose I want to have a chapter head on a separate page. The chapter includes some sections, each starting from its own page too (so I don't want a header on the pages where a section starts). The following example is simplified (I actually have a 'command' option for chapters): \setuphead[chapter][ after={\page[empty,odd]}, page=odd, header=empty, ] \setuphead[section][ page=yes, header=empty, ] \starttext \startbodymatter \chapter{My Chapter} \section{My First Section} \input{knuth} \section{My Second Section} \input{knuth} \stopbodymatter \stoptext Now you can see that the "header=empty" setting is ignored for the first section (one immediately following the chapter head). So, how can I get rid of the header in this case? -- Regards, Alexey Kryukov <anagnost at yandex dot ru> Moscow State University Faculty of History

Latex has a \llistfigures command. Does context have an equivalent command? John Culleton

Problem with vocalised hebrew
by Lutz Haseloff 16 Dec '17

Hi all, i would like to typeset hebrew with context. My not fully working example: \starttext \definedfont[name:narkisim at 20pt] \setupalign[r2l] טְרוֹפוֹתִי \stoptext In the resulting pdf the vocalisations are on the left side of the glyph, instead of being centered. I append the result of context and the result of Libreoffice. Is there a way to typeset vocalised hebrew with context or am I doing something wrong? Greetings Lutz -- GPG Key ID 3C4F83BC
