Is there a way to remove the thinspace after a semicolon when it is followed by a number? It does not seem to be covered by the autopunctuation key in \setupmathematics. Alan

Problem with setup for fonts
by Robert Blackstone 24 Aug '17

24 Aug '17

Dear all, I’ve been “out of ConTeXt” for a few months. In the meantime some things seem to have changed quite a bit. My present task is to handle the typesetting of the revision, for an external publisher, of my wife’s PhD thesis. I stumbled on a problem with fonts. I can typeset the book in its present version and the revised chapters with mkiv versions till mid 2016. The version I recently installed, on 23-08-2017, does not recognize the setups for the font selection anymore. The MWE below shows the problem. The older mkiv’s give Verdana, the present version some different font, probably the default TeX font. The same happens, m.m., when I replace Verdana with, for example, dejavu. %%%%%%%%%++++++MWE+++++++%%%%%%%% \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[Verdana] \setupbodyfont[10pt] %\setupinterlinespace[line=18pt] \definebodyfontenvironment[10pt][interlinespace=19pt] \definebodyfontenvironment[9pt]%[interlinespace=16pt] \definebodyfontenvironment[8pt] \setupindenting[yes,20pt]%,next] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \starttext \input knuth \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%+++++++++++++++%%%%%%%%%% So clearly these commands do not work anymore. I experimented a bit with information on wiki.contextgarden.net but without success. Can someone help me out here? Thanks in advance. Best regards, Robert Blackstone

Bug in mathmatrix and possible fix
by Henri 23 Aug '17

23 Aug '17

Dear devs, It is currently not possible to have nested mathmatrices. The reason is that \popmacro\math_matrix_NC is done at an inner scope and a succeeding \endgroup will happily overwrite this again. A possible fix is to move \popmacro\math_matrix_NC to the very outer scope in \math_matrix_stop, see below. I don't know and have not tested whether this breaks something else.

MnSymbol vectors and goodie file
by Никола Милинковић 22 Aug '17

22 Aug '17

Hello, world! :) I'm a recent LaTeX->ConTeXt convert, and I've started working on .lfg files for MnSymbol (and related MdSymbol and FdSymbol) fonts. The code written so far is on GitHub: https://github.com/nikmilpv/ConTeXt-MnSymbol Here's a bit of info first, and then a couple of questions. MnSymbol font consists of following files in several design sizes: - MnSymbolA*.tfm - arrows - MnSymbolB*.tfm - negated (stroked) arrows - MnSymbolC*.tfm - binary operators - MnSymbolD*.tfm - relations - MnSymbolE*.tfm - brackets, braces, parens, sqrt, overbrace, widehat,... - MnSymbolF*.tfm - big operators Getting MnSymbolA-D to work is a matter of writing the right unicode->tfm slot vectors ("symb-a", ..., "symb-d") and is a WIP. 1. I couldn't get MnSymbolE to work with "extension=true", so I have patched math-vfu.lua in a way that allows me to set bigger sizes for brackets, etc. manually in mnsymbol.lfg. Is there a better/smarter way to do this? 2. MnSymbol has a lot of non-unicode glyphs. What's the right way of using (some of) them in ConTeXt? I was thinking of mapping them to a private use area (eg. [0x0F000] = 18) and then defining \def\somename{\Umathchar"0"0"F000} on TeX end. What is the syntax of \Umathchar? I skimmed the LuaTeX manual, but couldn't find it. 3. Overbrace and underbrace don't work at all, but they do give correct output with \showmathfontcharacters. I can't figure out why. Widetilde and widehat work OK. 4. MnSymbol has both / (slash, solidus) and \ (backslash, reverse solidus) in several sizes. Slash works with \left, \middle, \right, but backslash doesn't. How can this be fixed? 5. There are glyphs for \cdots, \vdots, \udots, etc. in MnSymbolC, but even after setting them in "symb-c" vector, I'm under the impression that faked dots from math-vfu.lua are used. Am I wrong? 6. How can I set rule thickness for \sqrt? Thanks in advance! -- Nikola Milinković

(again) issues with typing
by Pablo Rodriguez 17 Aug '17

17 Aug '17

Dear list, sorry for insisting, but I need to solve this. I have to explain to newcomers (in my Spanish introduction to ConTeXt) what comments are and multiple lines don’t affect the final PDF document. I have the following sample: \setuptyping[lines=yes] \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=1em] \startTEX This is text. % and this is a comment \stopTEX \startXML This is text. \stopXML \startLUA if code=="code" then --this is a comment --[[ this is a multiline comment --]] ---[[ this isn’t a multiline comment --]] \stopLUA \stopTEXpage \stoptext I have three questions: 1. How do I enable that multiple blank lines are displayed as more than a single one? The Lua code contains one, two and three blank lines and they are displayed always as separation from single lines. I thought lines=yes should do that, but it doesn’t. 2. I accidentally discovered that the block comment opening (--[[) removes break with next line. I think it should be fixed. 3. The most important issue is that the whole comment (both markers and content) is displayed with \darkyellow. I wonder why comments aren’t display in typing as in any other editor. All comment characters should be displayed the same, since none of them would affect to the final output. How can I get the same color for the whole comment (again, both markers and content)? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

(My) problem with percent sign in URLs

Hi all, I came across the problem with typesetting long URLs containing special characters transformed to hexadecimal form. Hyphenation of URLs is needed. Minimal examples (URL taken from our garden and adopted): 1. \hyphenatedurl{http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/03/05/a-former-book-designer-says-good-riddance-to-print/?hpw\%20hpw} 2. \hyphenatedurl[]{http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/03/05/a-former-book-designer-says-good-riddance-to-print/?hpw\%20hpw} Ad 1: Hyphenation of the URL is OK, but the output contains percent sign preceded by escaping backslash. Ad 2: Percent sign is not escaped but hyphenation of the URL does not operate. I hoped that there could be any option for this purpose but it seems not, brackets are printed out, too. Thank in advance for the help and best regards, Tomas

Primes in mathmode — the neverending story
by Henri 15 Aug '17

15 Aug '17

Dear list, For reference here some old thread on the same(?) topic. https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2017/088699.html https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2017/088747.html https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2017/088926.html I noticed, that the placement of the prime now depends on the placement in the source code. If I write \omega_n' the prime is placed in the exponent of the whole \omega_n atom rather than just the \omega atom. MWE is below. At the same time, I do not see why the Plain TeX behaviour of an active prime in mathmode was abandoned, because if I simply backport this, everything seems to work fine. Cheers, Henri --- \starttext \startformula \omega_n' \neq \omega'_n \stopformula % --- \catcode`@=11 % from plain.tex \mathcode`\'="8000 % ^\prime {\catcode`\'=\active \gdef'{^\bgroup\prim@s}} \def\prim@s{\prime\futurelet\next\pr@m@s} \def\pr@m@s{\ifx'\next\let\nxt\pr@@@s \else\ifx^\next\let\nxt\pr@@@t \else\let\nxt\egroup\fi\fi \nxt} \def\pr@@@s#1{\prim@s} \def\pr@@@t#1#2{#2\egroup} \startformula \omega_n' = \omega'_n \stopformula \stoptext

Bug in startcombination
by Otared Kavian 14 Aug '17

14 Aug '17

Hi Hans, It seems that in the latest ConTeXt beta a bug shows up when using \startcombination, or something has changed recently that I have overlooked. The following example typesets correctly in mkii, and used to produce a correct output with mkiv. However, now, with ConTeXt version 2016.05.17 19:20, the typesetting stops with an error message saying: [………] Missing { inserted <inserted text> { <to be read again> \cr \pack_combinations_pickup_package_pair_c ->\cr \pack_combinations_flush_capt... l.20 \stopcombination} [………] Here is the example: %%% begin bug-combination.tex \setupcolors[state=start] \useMPlibrary[dum] \starttext This is our first picture. \placefigure[none]{}{\externalfigure[dummy][width=6cm]} \blank This is a combination of 3 figures on two lines \placefigure[none]{} { \midaligned{ \startcombination[1*2] {\startcombination[2*1] {\externalfigure[dummy][width=6cm]}{} {\externalfigure[dummy][width=6cm]}{} \stopcombination} {\externalfigure[dummy][width=6cm]}{} \stopcombination} } \stoptext %%% end bug-combination.tex Thanks for your attention and best regards: OK

Bibliography in MKIV, custom rendering
by Alan Braslau 14 Aug '17

14 Aug '17

Hello, You find a need to modify the rendering of the bibliography as you are misusing the bibtex data entry. Here is your example, corrected: 1) @electronic is more appropriate than @misc; 2) Apple Inc. is not a name so you should not be using author: organization is more appropriate. Note that the only difference, in fact, between @electronic and @misc is this optional field, organization. We get this from the bibtex references and from the standard definitions in bibtex tools such as jabref. Your example did point out a correction that should now be in the APS specification definitions in the latest version that can be found on the Garden. Previously, a url (or doi) got included as a hyperlink tag to the text "howpublished" field. The logic has been modified to show the url (or doi) explicitly if present, in the absence of the howpublished field. Alan \startbuffer [input] @electronic{objective-c, organization = "Apple Inc.", note = "Online; accessed at 31-July-2017", title = "About Objective-C", url = "https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/…", year = "2014" } \stopbuffer \usebtxdataset[default][input.buffer] \usebtxdefinitions[aps] \setupinteraction [state=start] \starttext According to Apple Inc., Objective-C is the main programming language, when writing software for MacOS~\cite[objective-c]. \placelistofpublications \showbtxdatasetcompleteness \stoptext -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [NTG-context] Bibliography in MKIV, custom rendering Date: Mon, 31 Jul 2017 04:23:16 +0200 From: Gerion Entrup <gerion.entrup-ctex(a)flump.de> Reply-To: mailing list for ConTeXt users <ntg-context(a)ntg.nl> To: ntg-context(a)ntg.nl > Hi, > > I need your help again.

combined / compressed / collapsed page and numbered citation references in bibliographies
by Rik Kabel 13 Aug '17

13 Aug '17

I noticed that in bibliographies, page indexing combines runs of two or more pages (pp. 150–151), as does page number compression in registers, while it takes three or more numbered citations to cause a similar collapse (per the MKIV-Publications manual, page 38, I do not have an example) for citation number references. Is there a way to change such compression minimums so that they can be made consistent? -- Rik

Interaction in bibliographies
by Rik Kabel 13 Aug '17

13 Aug '17

MKIV Publications <http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/mkiv-publications.pdf>, page 46, states: If interaction is active (\setupinteraction[state=start]), then these page numbers will be hyperlinks back to the citations. If numbering=yes, then the numbered bibliography entries will also contain hyperlinks back to the first occurrence in the text where the entry is cited (which is the same as the first page indexed). However, that does not seem to be the case, either in my own documents or in that manual, which clearly has interaction enabled for other items. Is the manual incorrect, or is this a bug? -- Rik

packed slashes and hyphenate after slash in urls

Hans, I have the following sample: \setuppapersize[A8] %~ \enabledirectives[hyphenators.urls.packslashes] \sethyphenatedurlafter{/} \starttext \hsize\zeropoint \tt\hyphenatedurl{/home//user/Documents/}, \stoptext To prevent having http:// (or similar protocols) with one slash ending one line and other beginning the next one, I have to use the commented directive. But the directive only works if \setuphypenatedafter (or before) doesn’t contain the slide between its characters.

xml verbatim in xml...

Hi all, excellent excuse to pester the list with a program: it’s for my presentation at the ConTeXt meeting (have YOU registered yet?)… So: I want to show verbatim xml, and I’m writing in xml.

My efforts to figure this out have not been successful thus far, so any suggestions will be most welcome. Alan

question for metapost experts

Hi all, this one is for all the metapos/metafun experts out there (Alan, are you there?). For a counter in one of my slide backgrounds, I have to calculate an intersectionpoint, given in percentage of the difference between current page and last page. I have always had some difficulties on the first run, when the value of the last page isn’t known yet and hence not written to the tuc file, but the error > ! The paths don't intersect. > <to be read again> used to disappear in subsequent runs. Now, ConTeXt doesn’t compile the file at all and stops on this error. There is an error message I haven’t seen before: > intersectionpoint->...The paths don't intersect"); > origin.else:0.5[point.x_.o... > <to be read again> > ; > <*> ... ;z13 = (z11 -- z12) intersectionpoint qw ; > draw z13 withcolor (0.1,0.... > This error message was generated by an `errmessage' > command, so I can't give any explicit help. > Pretend that you're Miss Marple: Examine all clues, > and deduce the truth by inspired guesses. Is there a way to make this conditional, such as (pseudocode) if q intersects p: z = q intersectionpoint p ; else: z = (0,0) ; fi ; I hope that this would allow ConTeXt to proceed and calculate the point correctly on the second run. Thanks, and all best Thomas

methods for numbered paragraphs (ii)
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 09 Aug '17

09 Aug '17

[Sent this a couple of days ago, maybe will get some takers this time -)] Dear syndicate, Not sure if there is a canonical way to do numbered paragraphs. In the following, I use subsections to mimic numbered paragraphs: =======section-intext.tex======= \setuphead[section][style=\bfa,after={\blank[big]},before={\blank[big,medium]},color=walayahblue] \setuphead[subsection][style=\bf,after={\blank[big]},before={\blank[big,medium]},color=walayahgreen,alternative=text,distance=0.28em] \setuphead[subsubsection][style=\tf,after={\blank[big]},before={\blank[big,medium]},color=walayahred,alternative=text,distance=0.28em] \starttext \startsection[title=Section 1] \startsubsection \input ward \stopsubsection \startsubsection[title=Paragraph 2] \input ward \stopsubsection \startsubsection \startparagraph \input ward \stopparagraph \stopsubsection \stopsection \stoptext ============== See attached output. In paragraphs 1 and 2, there is too much distance between the subsection number (subsection number + title in paragraph 2) and between the text. The distance parameter is not appropriate here, it is the distance *after* the section head that needs adjustment (even if the text portion of the head (i.e., the section title) is empty). Question 1: How do we fix the post-head distance? Paragraph three shows that one apparently cannot mix this sectioning approach with the \start-stopparagraph mechanism. Question 2: Is there a way to mix \start-stopparagraph with the above subsection approach to par numbering? I suppose that as long as I maintain exactly one paragraph per subsection, then structured output (xml etc.) should look ok. Question 3: Is there a wiser way to handle this kind of par numbering in mkiv? Thanks in advance!

Hans, I have the following sample: \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=1em] \startTEX This is text. % and this is a comment \stopTEX \startXML This is text. \stopXML \startLUA if code=="code" then --this is a comment --[[ and this is a multiline comment --]] \stopLUA \stopTEXpage \stoptext All comments are colored in darkyellow, but the issue is that in Lua and TeX only the comment markers are colored, while in XML only the comment content is colored. Because it is basic to display what it won’t affect to the interpretation or compilation of the code, would it be possible that the whole comments (both markers and content) could be colored? Sorry, but in all the code editors I have used in my life, comment coloring involved both markers (or delimiters) and content. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

concatenating attribute values in XML
by Pablo Rodriguez 07 Aug '17

07 Aug '17

Dear list, I have the following definition: \startxmlsetups xml:image:sidebyside \blank\startalign[center] \dontleavehmode \externalfigure[\xmlattribute{#1}{./p/img}{src}] [width=.5\textwidth] %~ \xmlconcat{#1}{./p/img}{ } \stopalign\blank \stopxmlsetups How can I define the external figure so I concatenate the image file names in the code above? I mean, \xmlconcat is great, but I don’t see how I could make it work to get values from the src attribute. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Help with xml & lua
by Olivier Binda 07 Aug '17

07 Aug '17

Hello I have been trying for the past 3 days to process files with xml on the lua side (with Context beta 0.70), but I'm at then end of my wits and really need help. On the lua side, I would really like to be able to : 1) transform a tree : replace nodes with other nodes 2) transform a tree : walk it and modify node attributes 3) walk a modified tree and flush it with setups Could someone give me hints or better yet a lua snipet that : 1) load a tree in lua 2) modify it 3) walk it 4) it can be done again I have had some success with 1, but lost 2 days trying to make 2 & 3 work with setups A) I managed to replace a node of an xml document with a subtree of another xml document by doing : -- load the main tree local mainTree = lxml.load("mainTree", "mainFile.xml) local replacementNode = xml.first(lxml.load("replacement", "replacementFile.xml), somePattern) -- replace nodes for node in xml.collected(tree, pattern) do node.tg ="toBeReplaced" xml.replace(tree, "toBeReplaced", replacementNode) end But then I failed to walk the modified tree with setups : my setups for "mainTree" work, but not for the inserted subtrees B) So, to process my tree further, I need to first serialize it -- save the modified tree xml.save(mainTree, "saved.xml") And then, I can reload the modified tree and work further with it (but it sucks to have to save to reload). C) "xml.replace" works in a weird way : it erases node (toBereplaced) and inserts the children of replacementNode as children of the parent of the node to be replaced... D) I did not manage to walk a tree loaded with xml.load in lua. I know that I have to register setups, I tried all sort of things, looked at the Tex/Lua context source code but could not make it work. Also the xml documentation for context on the net is really old, sparse and obsolete. On the tex side, it works : \xmlprocessfile{mySetups}{saved.xml}{} works like a charm But the TeX commands don't allow you to grab a modified xml tree, once you have walked it E) I tried lxml.load(id, filename) context("\\xmlregistereddocumentsetups{" .. id .. "}{}") Best regards, OlivierBinda

methods for numbered paragraphs
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 06 Aug '17

06 Aug '17

Dear syndicate, Not sure if there is a canonical way to do numbered paragraphs. In the following, I use subsections to mimic numbered paragraphs: =======section-intext.tex======= \setuphead[section][style=\bfa,after={\blank[big]},before={\blank[big,medium]},color=walayahblue] \setuphead[subsection][style=\bf,after={\blank[big]},before={\blank[big,medium]},color=walayahgreen,alternative=text,distance=0.28em] \setuphead[subsubsection][style=\tf,after={\blank[big]},before={\blank[big,medium]},color=walayahred,alternative=text,distance=0.28em] \starttext \startsection[title=Section 1] \startsubsection \input ward \stopsubsection \startsubsection[title=Paragraph 2] \input ward \stopsubsection \startsubsection \startparagraph \input ward \stopparagraph \stopsubsection \stopsection \stoptext ============== See attached output. In paragraphs 1 and 2, there is too much distance between the subsection number (subsection number + title in paragraph 2) and between the text. The distance parameter is not appropriate here, it is the distance *after* the section head that needs adjustment (even if the text portion of the head (i.e., the section title) is empty). Question 1: How do we fix the post-head distance? Paragraph three shows that one apparently cannot mix this sectioning approach with the \start-stopparagraph mechanism. Question 2: Is there a way to mix \start-stopparagraph with the above subsection approach to par numbering? I suppose that as long as I maintain exactly one paragraph per subsection, then structured output (xml etc.) should look ok. Question 3: Is there a wiser way to handle this kind of par numbering in mkiv? Thanks in advance!

TeXworks or TeXItEasy as ConTeXt editors
by Pablo Rodriguez 06 Aug '17

06 Aug '17

Dear list, I’m writing an introduction to ConTeXt in Spanish. Before any new user can start compiling ConTeXt sources, I realize that I have to explain how to configure an editor for ConTeXt. Since I plan to deal with the latest beta from the ConTeXt Suite, I need to explain how to deploy it. I use Geany in Linux and Notepad++ in Windows. But they are too complex for newbies. TeXworks seems the best option to start with (and to explain to newcomers). I compile my documents with the following commands: source ~/context/tex/setuptex && contextjit document.tex I had never problems with that. But as soon as I started to test Qt applications, I cannot use this. I mean, the commands above don’t work either with TeXworks or TexitEasy. Does anyone know how to make the previous commands work with TeXworks? Setting paths is something I want to avoid, since it is potentially dangerous for newbies. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Disable overlay on chapter pages
by Mikael P. Sundqvist 04 Aug '17

04 Aug '17

Hi, I'm trying to print chapter and section titles in the margins, and it works fine, except that the chapter title is also printed on the same page as the chapter starts, which I find unnecessary. 1) Can I somehow (probably via the right \setuphead trick) disable this overlay only on chapter pages? 2) If I want to disable it on another page, is there some smart way of doint it, or should I just set it blank and then enable it when I know I'm on next page again? /Mikael PS The code I have right now is given below. It compiles, but the chapter title is shown on the first page... \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \defineoverlay[mymargin][{\framed[frame=off,width=0.8in,height=0.8\textheight,offset=overlay,align={top}]{\doifrightpageelse{{\startalignment[flushleft]\getmarking[chapter]\stopalignment}}{{\startalignment[flushright]\getmarking[section]\stopalignment}}}}] \setupbackgrounds[text][rightmargin][background=mymargin] \starttext \chapter{Foo} \dorecurse{15}{\section{Bar}\input ward\par} \stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] TwoColumns in two different languages, with alternate text on even and odd page.
by Marcello Urgo 03 Aug '17

03 Aug '17

Dear Hans, I am also intersted in this issue. In the last years I am dealing with a multi-language technical lexicon. Hence, different languages refer to different columns, and if the languages are three or four, then it is better to go with two pages side-by-side. Nevertheless this seems a problem also in LaTeX redelpar (multiple columns are not supported). I tried to manage it with \linetable but without success (https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/380923/synchronise-data-spanning-ov…) I think this feature could be really interesting because, according to my knowledge, ConTeXt is at present the best way to manage the publishing of XML data. Hence, this could be a useful tool to publish large sets of data. Thank you in advance Marcello Urgo, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Manufacturing and Production Systems Lab.

imposition with some rotated pages
by Pablo Rodriguez 02 Aug '17

02 Aug '17

Dear list, I have a PDF document in A4 paper size with some rotated pages. I would like to make a booklet of it: \setuppapersize [A5][A4, landscape] \setuparranging [2UP] \setuplayout [backspace=0pt, topspace=0pt, width=middle, height=middle, location=middle, header=0pt, footer=0pt] \setupinteractionscreen[option={landscape, paper}, copies=1] \starttext \filterpages[report.pdf][1:25][width=0pt] \filterpages[report.pdf][27:30][width=0pt]%they are rotated \filterpages[report.pdf][31:100][width=0pt] \stoptext The rotated pages in the source PDF document are a problem here. The wiki contains the info that \filterpages may be rotated with [orientation=90]. But this seems to be old, since it doesn’t work. If I add \rotate[rotation=90]{\filterpages[report.pdf][27:30][width=0pt]}, automatic scaling doesn’t work. And all pages will be considered as a single image. Is there any way to have rotation for some pages in the source document to get the right imposition? I’m afraid rotation comes from the source PDF document in this case.

(again) \typebufferinline for XML inline code
by Pablo Rodriguez 02 Aug '17

02 Aug '17

Hans, sorry for asking for this again, but I really need it to write some documents about ConTeXt. I have the following sample: \startTEXpage[offset=1em] only \type{a b c} one line \stopTEXpage \stoptext \type Would it be possible to have a new \typebufferinline that behaves such as \type above (and has the same options in \setuptype)? The most important part isn’t the suppression of line breaks inside, but avoiding the addition of line breaks after and before the typed buffer. I have been reading buff-ver.mkiv, but I’m afraid I cannot contribute such a patch. This is essential to have \xmlprettyprintinline and \xmlprettyprintinlinetext in order to handle inline code in XML. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Bibliography in MKIV, custom rendering
by Gerion Entrup 01 Aug '17

01 Aug '17

Hi, I need your help again. I've a bibliography and some entries references to websites. Unfortunately the URL is not always rendered and the name ist always parsed as name of a person, not from an organisation etc. What I want to achieve is to use the standard aps style, but with additionally the following two rules: 1. The name is always rendered without abbrevations (I guess, this is authorconversion=normal). 2. If an URL is given, it is always rendered. My input is a bib-file. Here is a minimal example: input.bib ``` @misc{objective-c, author = "Apple Inc.", note = "Online; accessed at 31-July-2017", title = "About Objective-C", url = "https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/…", year = "2014" } ``` test.tex ``` \usebtxdataset[default][input.bib] \usebtxdefinitions[aps] \setupbtx[default:cite][alternative=num] \setupbtx[default:list][authorconversion=normal] \starttext According to Apple Inc., Objective-C is the main programming language, when writing software for MacOS~\cite[objective-c]. \placelistofpublications \stoptext ``` I've tried to understand the manual, yout can see some of my attempts in the minimal example.

Kerning between primes and left parenthesis (again)
by Mikael P. Sundqvist 31 Jul '17

31 Jul '17

Dear Hans, now, in luatex 1.05, that the primes are "constructed" in new manner, I wonder if there is a way to specify in a goodie file the kerning between characters, in particular primes and the left parenthesis? I tried kernpairs = { [0x2032] = {[0x0028] = -1000, }, -- prime and ( }, but that does not seem to have any effect. The pre-1.05 modification dimensions = { default = { [0x2044] = { xoffset = 275, width = 600 }, [0x2032] = { xoffset = 50, width = 290 }, -- prime [0x2033] = { xoffset = 50, width = 690 }, -- double prime [0x2034] = { xoffset = 50, width = 1090}, -- triple prime [0x2057] = { xoffset = 50, width = 1490}, -- quadruple prime }, }, (which is a non-optimal way of solving this issue since it has side effects) does not change anything anymore. So, is there now a way to do this cleanly now that the mechanism is changed? /Mikael

Couple of questions
by Gerion Entrup 31 Jul '17

31 Jul '17

Hi, this is a rather long mail, but I'll add the answers to the wiki. For the future: Should I write one mail per question or all in one? :) 1. Color of references and table of content: How can I define/change the colors of references and the table of content? And why are some references red and others green? 2. Own title format I've set an own title format for chapters, like described in the wiki. Unfortunately this applies to the table of contents and bibliography as well. Below a minimal example, that reproduces it: ``` \setupinteraction[state=start] \define[2]\MyChapter{\framed[frame=off,bottomframe=on,topframe=on] {\vbox{\headtext{chapter} #1\blank#2}}} \setuphead[chapter][command=\MyChapter, style={\switchtobodyfont[24pt,ss]}, header=empty, page=mychapterpagebreak] \setupheadtext[chapter=Chapter, content=Table of Contents] \starttext \completecontent \page[yes] \startchapter[title=foo] \stoptext ``` How can I prevent the printing of "Chapter" in the table of contents and bibliography? 3. Text size in t-vim I've defined a smaller text size in t-vim, but this seems to affect \inline... as well. Is there a way to circumvent this? Minimal example: ``` \setupinteraction[state=start] \usemodule[t-vim] \definevimtyping[python][syntax=python, style={\switchtobodyfont[8pt,tt]},] \starttext \startpython for line in foo: print(line) \stoppython This is keyword \inlinepython{in} Python. \stoptext ``` 4. Captions of combinations The wiki shows, how to completely autolabel figures in a combination with mkiv. Is there a way to simply prefix the label with a), b), c),...? Another related question: Is there a way to define the width and align of the labels of a combination? 5. Numbering of floats I want a numbering for my figures in this format: way=bychapter, prefixsegments=chapter I guess, this is the default, but I've explicitly set it. In some captions the prefix is ignored. For example there are 5 figures in chapter 2, then the captions of the figures (the text is in German) are: Abbildung 2.1 foo Abbildung 2.2 bar Abbildung 3 foobar Abbildung 4 otherfoo Abbildung 5 lastfoo Is there anything, I can do, to prevent this? 6. Multiple references I want to create the same footnote on multiple locations in the text. Therefore I used: ``` \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext This\footnote[letter-s]{"s" is a letter.} is\note[letter-s] a nons\note[letter-s]ens\note[letter-s]e text. \stoptext ``` But this uses different fonts for the number in the text. Is there a way to fix this or do it better?

Problems with headers using margintext alternative
by Rik Kabel 30 Jul '17

30 Jul '17

The following example demonstrates two problems with alternative=margintext in \setuphead: 1. When used with start/stop sectioning, text following the title may be set on the wrong line. 2. Without regard to the type of sectioning, margintext titles may spill over the left edge of the margin and beyond the page frame. \setuppapersize [letter] [letter,oversized] \setuplayout [location={middle,middle}] \showframe \setuphead [chapter] [number=no, alternative=inmargin] \setuphead [section] [ alternative=margintext, insidesection={\blank[-line]}, ] \starttext \starttitle [title={Problem description}] \bgroup \setupwhitespace[medium] \startparagraph This demonstrates two problems with \type{alternative=margintext} in \tex{setuphead}: \startitemize[packed,n] \startitem When used with start/stop sectioning, text following the title may be set on the wrong line. \stopitem \startitem Without regard to the type of sectioning, \type{margintext} titles may spill over the left edge of the margin and beyond the page frame. (Oddly, \tex{paperwidth} is less than the sum of \tex{makeupwidth} and the margin widths and distances for both letter and A4 paper.) \stopitem \stopitemize \stopparagraph \startparagraph With start/stop sectioning, the text following the section title may begin one line below the start of the title. That can be remedied if there is no whitespace between paragraphs with \type{insidesection={\blank[-line]}}, but the remedy fails when there is whitespace, and increasing the correction has no effect. With traditional sectioning, the text appears baseline|-|aligned with the heading, as expected. The the correction has no effect in any case with traditional sectioning. \stopparagraph \startparagraph It makes no difference in any test how the paragraphs are delimited—blank lines, \tex{bpar}/\tex{epar}, \tex{startparagraph}/\tex{stopparagraph}, or \tex{par}. \stopparagraph \startparagraph Tested with standalone beta 2017.07.17 00:20. \stopparagraph \egroup \page \startchapter [title={Start/stop sectioning}] \startsection[title={Mis\-cel\-la\-neous quo\-ta\-tions}] \startparagraph \input jojomayer \stopparagraph \startparagraph \input carrol \wordright{No indent no whitespace.} \stopparagraph \stopsection \bgroup \setupwhitespace[medium] \startsection[title={Miscellaneous quotations}] \startparagraph \input jojomayer \stopparagraph \startparagraph \input carrol \wordright{No indent medium whitespace.} \stopparagraph \stopsection \egroup \bgroup \setupindenting[yes,small] \startsection[title={Miscellaneous quotations}] \startparagraph \input jojomayer \stopparagraph \startparagraph \input carrol \wordright{Small indent no whitespace.} \stopparagraph \stopsection \egroup \bgroup \setupwhitespace[medium] \setupindenting[yes,small] \startsection[title={Miscellaneous quotations}] \startparagraph \input jojomayer \stopparagraph \startparagraph \input carrol \wordright{Small indent medium whitespace.} \stopparagraph \stopsection \egroup \stopchapter \chapter{Traditional sectioning} \section{Mis\-cel\-la\-neous quo\-ta\-tions} \input jojomayer \par \input carrol \wordright{No indent no whitespace.} \par No indent no whitespace. \par \bgroup \setupwhitespace[medium] \section{Miscellaneous quotations} \input jojomayer \par \input carrol \wordright{No indent medium whitespace.} \par \egroup \bgroup \setupindenting[yes,small] \section{Miscellaneous quotations} \input jojomayer \par \input carrol \wordright{Small indent no whitespace.} \par \egroup \bgroup \setupwhitespace[medium] \setupindenting[yes,small] \section{Miscellaneous quotations} \input jojomayer \par \input carrol \wordright{Small indent medium whitespace.} \par \egroup \showlayout \stoptext -- Rik

Hello, With Latex, for my layout, I used this : \documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{article} \usepackage[left=2cm,right=2cm,top=2cm,bottom=2cm]{geometry} With Context, I did this : \setuppapersize[A4][A4] \setuplayout [ topspace=2cm, header=0pt, footer=1.5cm, bottomspace=0pt, backspace=2cm, cutspace=0pt, width=middle] Is it correct ? Thank you Fabrice

(bug?) itlc removes liga

Dear list, using latest beta (2017.07.28 14:24), I have the following sample: \definefontfeature [default] [default] [script=latn, itlc=yes] \setupitaliccorrection [global, always] \definefontfamily [mainfont] [rm] [EB Garamond] \startbuffer[words] office final floor affliction \stopbuffer \startbuffer[ligatures] {\em \getbuffer[words]}\\ {\bi \getbuffer[words]}\\ {\getbuffer[words]}\\ {\bf \getbuffer[words]}\\ \stopbuffer \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=1em] \getbuffer[ligatures] \setupbodyfont[pagella] \getbuffer[ligatures] \setupbodyfont[mainfont] \getbuffer[ligatures] \stopTEXpage \stoptext In Latin Modern italics (and TeX Gyre typefaces), the “ffi” ligature isn’t added. With EB Garamond, italics don’t get the “ffl” ligature. The previous beta from 2017.07.27 16:17 doesn’t have the issue that I describe. Could anyone be so kind to confirm the bug with latest beta?

width of floats
by Henning Hraban Ramm 30 Jul '17

30 Jul '17

Ahoi, I wonder how I can limit the width of a custom float, neither "width" nor "maxwidth" seems to have any effect: \definefloat[Beispiel][Beispiele] \setupfloat[Beispiel][ %width=36mm, maxwidth=.6\textwidth, offset=1em, background=color,backgroundcolor=yellow, ] \setupcaption[Beispiel][ location=none,number=no ] \starttext \input knuth \startplaceBeispiel \input tufte \stopplaceBeispiel \input knuth \stoptext While it’s nice that the "Beispiel" paragraphs stays the same width as the main text, even with "offset", I’d like to limit the whole box to the textwidth (or any other measure).

I have now another problem with inline code: \definetype[TeX][option=TEX, lines=hyphenated] \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=1em] This is inline code: \TeX{\command[option=value]{final text}} \startXML Inline code: <code class="sourceCode latex">\TeX[option=value]{final text}</code> \stopXML \stopTEXpage \stoptext I need the \TeX command from the first text paragraph, but I have to make it work with an XML source such as the second one (the code element). Would it be possible to have something like \xmlprettyinlinetext (it is essential to have consistent marking in code blocks and in inline code? I have tried to find out a solution, but \typebuffer requires a separate paragraph (or I didn’t know how to disable it). Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Dear Contex’ers, I have used the letter module of mkii for serial letters with an xml database (see example), but now I would like to step forward to mkiv. I have found out how to process the xml data from an xml file (now in the buffer). The recipient’s address neatly shows up in the designed place. (See pdf). So far, everything seems OK. Yet when I add text, only the text appears, and all address data from the xml file disappear. You can try it out by uncommenting the %\input knuth or %tekst lines.

Odd numbering of
by Sebastian L. 28 Jul '17

28 Jul '17

Hi folks, I have a document that is structured like this: \startfrontmatter \placecontent \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \startchapter \component whatever.tex \stopchapter \stopbodymatter What I noticed is, that when I build the PDF, open it in Sumatra PDF and check the page counter at the top, then the first page (frontmatter) is numbered 1, then the second page (1st page of the bodymatter) is numbered 1.1, the second page of the bodymatter then is numbered correctly again. How would one change the frontmatter counter to roman numbers (I, II, III etc.)? And the first page of the bodymatter to 1 instead of 1.1? For the record: within the PDF itself the numbers are printed correctly (front: no numbers, body: 1, 2, 3 etc.). This seems to be reader software related. I saw romans for frontmatter and arabics for bodymatter in other documents already, so I am sure there has to be a way of achieving this in CTX. Any ideas? Greetings, Sebastian

> Which is your OS? How about checking them with Acrobat Reader? I am working under OpenBSD and context TeXLive 2017 pre-release. Acrobat Reader is not avalaible. Btw, I had the same issue as you under Linux : Evince could'nt display slides with Steps macros, while mupdf displays content without steps. The new mkiv Rawsteps nearly works for me with mupdf : both steps are displayed on the same slide, which is not what is intended, but at least contents are duplicated. If steps are only working with AcroRead, this means that steps may rather rely on a workaround and it might be considered a kind of bug. Unfortunately my programming skills are none, so I migt be exagerating. Anyway it would be really great to have something working with poppler and mupdf engines. Could the \pause macro from beamer be a starting point or is this too LaTeX dependant?

Creating SVG: using MetaFun, exporting proper units, conversion to DXF
by Mojca Miklavec 27 Jul '17

27 Jul '17

Hi, I want to play with CNC and don't yet have any experience with CAD software (nor the licence for the expensive ones) other than perhaps some Blender, so I decided to try to use the super ugly route with metapost -> svg -> dxf -> g-code for the first time. I have a few questions. (1) I love Hans' shortcuts in metafun, but I seem to remember that things like input metafun; or perhaps input mp-tool; used to work, so that I don't have to remember to use mpost -mem=metafun my-drawings.mp when compiling the graphics. Did the method with "input" ever work (or is it supposed to work)? Now I'm getting a bunch of weird errors. I would love to specify everything in the source file and then just call mpost. If that doesn't work, that's fine, I can still add "-mem=metafun", but ... (2) I guess that using "raw metapost" is the only sane way to generate SVG. If I use metapost inside ConTeXt that's probably not going to work, right? (3) Is there any way to convince the SVG output mode to generate something like <svg ... width="100.0mm" height="100.0mm" ... > rather than <svg ... width="283.46456692913387" height="283.46456692913387" ... > because the program I use to convert SVG to DXF has troubles interpreting "points" properly. I read somewhere that they assume 90 points per inch because that's Inkskape's default. (4) Does anyone have a better proposal for conversion into DXF (or G-code)? I'm currently playing with FreeCAD and I've seen some tutorials showing that AutoCAD can open PDF directly, but I don't want to buy AudoCAD just for the sake of converting files. (Not to mention that FreeCAD's SVG importer crashes when reading output from MetaPost unless I manually remove parts of the SVG, but that's an unrelated problem that I'm somehow able to overcome.) Thank you, Mojca

context-2011-mathml-update.pdf FlushStep and mupdf
by Damien Thiriet 26 Jul '17

26 Jul '17

Hi, As suggested a few months ago in thread "which command would give the same effect as \pause in beamer ?", I am digging in context example to use the step mecanism for presentation. I grepped the example folder and founded files using \FlushStep, for example : context-2011-mathml-update.tex The trouble is that when opening context-2011-mathml-update.pdf with mupdf I do not see anything similar to beamer \pause. The whole slides are shown in one piece. I tried several other pdf with Steps mecanism (context-2011-ebook-export, context-2012-thescript, context/2013/context-2013-speed.pdf). Steps weren't displayed in any case. Did I miss something or is it a viewer issue? Thanks, Damien

Hyphens missing (again) with setupbackend[export

26 Jul '17

Aditya came across this in 2011 ([NTG-context] export kills hyphen symbol <https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg58460.html>)[1] with the Fontin font. It wasn’t answered then. It is back if it ever left. Here is an example: \definefontfamily [TestFont] [rm] [Antykwa Torunska Cond] \setupbodyfont [TestFont] \setupbackend [export=maybe]% or yes, or no, or ... \setuppapersize [A7] \starttext \input ward \stoptext If the \setupbackend statement is removed, or an invalid key is used, all is well. It fails with a valid key and any value for that key. I am experiencing the problem of missing hyphens with this font even without \setupbackend, but cannot yet construct a working example. -- Rik [1] https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg58460.html

t-vim module: math in "normal" code and background color
by Gerion Entrup 20 Jul '17

20 Jul '17

Hi, I have two questions with the vim module. 1. I want to use the math mode inside the code. I've seen the escape option, e.g. here [1], but this seems to work only with comments. Is there a possibility to use it directly in the code, too? Minimal example: ``` \usemodule[vim] \definevimtyping[python][syntax=python, escape=on] \starttext \startpython # Returns \m{\sum_{i=1}^{n}i} def sum_upto(\m{n \in \mathbb{N}}) r = range(1, \m{n} + 1) return sum(r) \stoppython \stoptext ``` 2. It would be cool, if I can define some background color for the code. Unfortunately I'm very new to context and haven't seen a direct option. I assume this is possible with some kind of extra environment around the code? (I've subscribed the list, so you don't have to CC me.) Thank you in advance, Gerion
