APA Bibliographic refs. | Hyphenated first names | Lower case first letter of Title
by Richard Mahoney | Indica et Buddhica 23 May '17

23 May '17

Dear list, I have been cleaning up the following proof-of-concept edition set with ConTeXt ver: 2017.05.15 21:48 MKIV beta: http://indica-et-buddhica.org/siksasamuccaya-progresse-bodhisattva-concept.… On the whole I'm very pleased but I'm noticing something odd with the APA typesetting. This can be seen on concept:226 & 229. Here is my set up followed by the BibTeX refs.: % Bibliographic referencing \usebtxdataset[thesis-clean-k-final.bib] \setupbtx[default:cite][alternative=num] \setupbtx[apa:cite][alternative=authoryear,compress=yes] \usebtxdefinitions[apa] \definebtxrendering[apa][specification=apa,sorttype=authoryear,numbering=no] \setupbtxlist[apa][alternative=paragraph,width=325pt,maxwidth=325pt,distance=.5em,margin=3em,align={hz,hanging}] 1.) For Hans-Georg and Jens-Uwe I'm getting H. -G. & J. -U. not H.-G. & J.-U.: @Book{gadamer:truth, author = "Hans-Georg Gadamer", title = "Truth and Method", publisher = "Seabury Press", shorttitle = "Truth", year = 1975, address = "New York", key = "gadamer:75", } @InCollection{klaus:einige, author = "K.

And for the initial letter of the title, SGam.po.pa not sGgam.po.pa: @Book{guenther:sgam, title = "{s}{G}am.{p}o.{p}a, The Jewel Ornament of Liberation\,: {D}am.\-{c}hos {y}id.{b}žin.{g}yi {n}or.{b}u {t}har.{p}a {r}in.{p}o {c}he'i {r}gyan {ž}es.{b}ya.{b}a {t}heg.{p}a {c}hen.\-{p}o'{i} {l}am.{r}im.{g}yi {b}śad.{p}a", publisher = "Rider \& Co.", shorttitle = "{s}{G}am.{p}o.{p}a", year = 1970, key = "guenther:70a", address = "London", author = "H.

change width of a character with fonts.handlers.otf.addfeature
by Ulrike Fischer 20 May '17

20 May '17

In extensions-001.tex (http://minimals.metatex.org/current/context/test/doc/context/tests/mkiv/fon…) there is an example how to add or change the kern between two chars: fonts.handlers.otf.addfeature { name = "ktest", type = "kern", data = { a = { b = -500 }, } } Can this be used to implement also a "Single adjustment positioning" which would effectivly change the width of character? (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/opentype/afdko/topic_feature_file_syntax.html#6…) (I tried a few probable variants but got either errors or no effect at all). -- Ulrike Fischer http://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/

\doifmode error with question blocks

19 May '17

Dear list members If using modes to show or hide certain part of the text. In the MWE below the part between the startmode[test] .. stopmode works jus fine. When using the \doifmode construction an error is produced on the position of the closing curly bracket. I prefer to use \doifmode constructions because they can be nested. The question block must play a role here but I don’t know why. Am I overlooking something here?

(re)defining command with options
by Florian Grammel 18 May '17

18 May '17

While visualising index-entires in the margin using \version[temporary] isn't implemented for MkIV yet, I'd like to define a basic stand-in in the meantime: \setupmargindata[inmargin][location=outer, style=itxx] \define[1]\myindex{\index{#1}% \inmargin{#1}% } But occurrences of e.g. \myindex[CONTEXT]{\ConTeXt} break these simple definitions. Is there an easy way to define commands with options and/or patching (extending) existing commands? Thanks in advance!

\definenamespace and the list option
by Henri Menke 15 May '17

15 May '17

Dear list, Motivated by this question on TeX.SX https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/369778 I took a look at the \definenamespace mechanism in ConTeXt. It seems that it permits a syntax like \define<NAMESPACE>[...,...][...=...,...=...] where you can provide a list of instances to define in the first argument. I don't know about any \define command in ConTeXt that would permit that and the implementation in mult-aux.mkiv does not even support that properly. My approach would actually be to remove the list option from \definenamespace completely. Cheers, Henri

definefallbackfamily and utfchar, something changed?

Hi, the Lucida font does not have all variants of \heartsuit, \varheartsuit and so on (see for example http://mirror.unl.edu/ctan/macros/latex/contrib/unicode-math/unimath-symbol… for their unicode slots). For this reason I borrow these symbols from Xits. The code below used to work, but not anymore (I updated to latest standalone today, not sure when it stopped work). I don't get Xits symbols at all, but only a filled diamondsuit from vardiamondsuit. That one belongs to the Lucida font. Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

If requested, I gladly change that. %% Test file \definefallbackfamily [lucidaopentype][mm][Xits Math][range={2660,2661,2662,2663,2664,2665,2666,2667}] \definefontfamily[lucidaopentype][rm][Lucida Bright OT] \definefontfamily[lucidaopentype][ss][Lucida Sans OT] \definefontfamily[lucidaopentype][tt][Lucida Sans Typewriter OT] \definefontfamily[lucidaopentype][mm][Lucida Bright Math OT] \setupbodyfont[lucidaopentype] \def\diamondsuit{\utfchar{"02662}} \def\varspadesuit{\utfchar{"02664}} \def\varheartsuit{\utfchar{"02665}} \def\vardiamondsuit{\utfchar{"02666}} \def\varclubsuit{\utfchar{"02667}} \starttext Test: $\vardiamondsuit$ and $\diamondsuit$ \stoptext

Location of primes and strange latin modern font
by Mikael P. Sundqvist 14 May '17

14 May '17

Dear list, I posted this question on stack exchange (https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/369226/52406) and got the suggestion that it might be a bug, and therefore I post it here as well: I have a problem with typesetting derivatives (and latin modern) in ConTeXt in latest standalone. Minimal example: \starttext Compare $u_p''$ and $u''_p$ with $u''$ \stoptext Please see the attached image for the output (here I have also included the corresponding output, compiling a similar simple document in LaTeX, where things look as I expect.) Basically, I have two questions: 1) How should I write derivatives (say second derivatives) in ConTeXt? I think that the primes are too far away from each other. In particular when the subscript $p$ is there (the first formula). 2) The math font looks strange (or should I say different) in the ConTeXt example. (Wrong size, scaled?) For a while I thought that the second problem might be because I define no font. But the following example gives a similar result. \definefontfamily[myface][rm][Latin Modern Roman] \definefontfamily[myface][mm][Latin Modern Math] \setupbodyfont[myface] \starttext Compare $u_p''$ and $u''_p$ with $u''$ \stoptext Any ideas? /Mikael

Table of content in presentation example
by cryo shock 13 May '17

13 May '17

Hi guys, I downloaded a sample presentation with component and example presentation from a link off of ctxwiki. I will attach both files and a premade PDF that shows what I mean. So far I edited the component a little in display style, yet I don't know why I can't get a simple table of content on the second slide. In the component I found the following code: \definehead [slide] [subject] [ style=\ssbfc, color=foreground:contrast, alternative=middle, page=yes ] So I understand that the head called slide comes from the head subject, which by default isn't shown in the table of content. So I searched ctxwiki for table of content and modified the above setup to \definehead [slide] [subject] % default: subject [ style=\ssbfc, color=foreground:contrast, alternative=middle, page=yes, * incrementnumber=yes, % keep track of the number* * number=no % but don't show it* ] I also added the following line: \setuplist[subject][width=2cm] The example .tex then starts with \starttext \setvariables ... \startslide ... \stopslide ... \stoptext So I inserted another \startslide \stopslide with \placecontent in between: \startslide[title={T.o.c.}] \placecontent \stopslide Yet the rendered PDF shows only a blank page where the TOC is supposed to be. Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance, Sebastian

\xmlloadfile undefined
by dr. Hans van der Meer 12 May '17

12 May '17

In the xml-mkiv.pdf manual is written on page 18: > \xmlloadfile {...} {...} {...} > > loads the file FILE and registers it under NAME and applies either given or standard XMLSETUP (alias: \xmlload) > However, \xmlloadfile gives an undefined macro TeX-error, allthough the given alias \xmlload is present (useed beta of 2017-04-16). Shouldn't macro \xmlloadfile be added? Besides \xmlloadbuffer and \xmloaddata that would appeal to my preference for systematic naming. By the way. In this document all descriptions "\macro{}{}{}" refer to arguments like FILE, NAME etc. but these are absent from the API as shown. I think presented as \xmlloadfile{NAME}{FILE}{XMLSETUP} for example, would be more informative (at least I guess I have the order right). Any way, I get confused with some of the other APIs and would be pleased if a newer version of the manual has them. Hans van der Meer

But it takes more vertical space that cause the alignment trouble while using \overbar has no problem at all. Is it normal behavior? Thank you.

BUG: % is comment in btx fields

Dear list, The percent character in btx field is taken as a comment characters which leads to the rest of the field being discarded.

Fwd: ANNOUNCE: pandoc scholar
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 09 May '17

09 May '17

Dear gang, This just in. Slightly off-topic, but in the wake of the recent markdown thread some of you may find this approach interesting or a source of ideas for doing something similar in ConTeXt. Best wishes Idris ------- Forwarded message ------- From: "Albert Krewinkel" <albert+pandoc(a)zeitkraut.de> To: pandoc-discuss(a)googlegroups.com Cc: Subject: ANNOUNCE: pandoc scholar Date: Mon, 08 May 2017 11:43:42 -0600 I'm happy to announce pandoc scholar, a tool and general effort to enable and promote the use of pandoc markdown as a format for scientific publishing <https://github.com/pandoc-scholar>. We developed conventions, lua scripts, and accompanying makefiles to make authoring of scientific articles as simple and comfortable as possible, enabling authors to semantically enrich their manuscripts with additional metadata. The corresponding manuscript has been published today in PeerJ CS: <https://peerj.com/articles/cs-112/>. The pandoc scholar utility was build with compatibility in mind, requiring only `pandoc` and `make`. Most computations are performed using lua scripts, using [panlunatic] to output the modified document as pandoc JSON. Makefiles are used to hide the additional complexity and to set sensible default options when calling pandoc. A styled html template, which makes use of the additional metadata fields, is provided as well. Any feedback is welcome. -- Idris Samawi Hamid, Professor Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80512

linenumbers in marking
by Thomas A. Schmitz 08 May '17

08 May '17

Hi all, 5 years ago, on the mailing list, there was a thread started by Pablo Rodríguez (http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg62140.html) about line numbers in headers. Wolfgang Schuster replied that in principle, it's possible to have line numbers in headers, "but it’s not usable because the numbers are always shown on the next page." He made the following example (which I have slightly adapted): \definemarking[linenumber] \define\LinenumberCommand {\normalexpanded{\setmarking[linenumber]{\linenumber}}} \setuplinenumbering[command=\LinenumberCommand] \startsetups linenumber \doiftext { \getmarking[linenumber] } { \getmarking[linenumber][top] – \getmarking[linenumber][bottom] } \stopsetups \setupheadertexts[\texsetup{linenumber}] \starttext \dorecurse{6}{\input tufte\par} \startlinenumbering \dorecurse{20}{\input knuth\par} \stoplinenumbering \resetmarking[linenumber] \dorecurse{6}{\input tufte\par} \stoptext Hans wrote: "currently it's not possible but it's no big deal to add that feature at some point." I have now a similar problem with markings in a header. Is there a solution to this? Could it be implemented now? Thanks, and best wishes Thomas

include google maps in context document
by DesdeChaves 06 May '17

Dear Sirs I need to justify my displacements from my school to the various companies where I have students in training. For this I must include in my report a gloogle maps image with the path and the distance covered. In the browse o found all the information that I need. For example, with an url address like: http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/json?origins=Seattle&des… i get a json response, but not the google map image. If I try an address like this " https://www.google.pt/maps/dir/Chaves/Valpaços/" I found all information in the browser, but I need to include it in my context document report. Anybody know a simply way to make this work or this is a too hard task for now. Have a good night Thanks in advance Jorge

Dear Contexters, Since yesterday I have a font-problem. Until yesterday this would work perfectly: \usemodule[simplefonts][size=10pt] %voor mkiv \setmainfont[dejavuserif] %voor simplefonts The system fonts worked too. Yesterday I wanted to make a presentation with simpleslides. The fonts did not work. Then I tried complexslides. The modules work fine, the fonts do not. I then updated to the latest bèta: luatools — generate, context —generate, etc. No improvement. Through mtxrun —script fonts I can see which fonts are accessible to Context. There things are probably going wrong, yet I do not know what. It appears that Context does not find the local fonts, and the system fonts only partially.

Dear all, First of all, the sample code is working under the ConTeXt beta(standalone) installed in my notebook. I am very sorry to send mails of false result. I found the file “lm-ec.map” installed in the ConTeXt beta(standalone), and I don’t know why it was not working in the iMac. I have to check the installation. However, I’d like to know how to make map files of the fonts in the system for which the map file is not provided? Thank you for reading.

Dear all, In the previous mail, I tested the given code under the ConTeXt beta(standalone) which has no file “lm-ec.map” installed, so I couldn’t get the result. But the following sample is working under MKIV in TeXlive 2016. It looks great. I guess that it is also working any font if the map file is provided.

(again) index sorting of accented characters
by Pablo Rodriguez 02 May '17

02 May '17

Dear list, sorry for bothering again with this issue, but I need to have indices in my documents. I have the following sample: \mainlanguage[es] \setupregister[method=default] \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=1em] \index{ámame}\index{arisco}\index{ándrago} \index{antonia}\index{antón} \placeindex \stopTEXpage \stoptext Word sorting is the following: antonia antón arisco ámame ándrago Right word order is: ámame ándrago antón antonia arisco In Spanish, as in other languages, an accented letter has no different sorting that its unaccented counterpart. I got the right word order adding these replacements in sort-lan.lua: replacements = { { "á", "a" }, { "é", "i"}, { "í", "i" }, { "ó", "o"}, { "ú", "u" }, { "ü", "u" }, }, Could anyone explain me whether this is the right way of doing it? I mean, if this is the way, I have other two patches for other two languages in which I have indices. And if I’m wrong, I would like to know how to get right word sorting in registers. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

getting the glyph of a character
by Jeong Dal 01 May '17

Dear all. At page 50-52 of the manual of metapost, “Mpman”, it is explained to get a glyph of font using the command ‘glyph'. glyph ⟨numeric expression⟩ of ⟨string expression⟩ glyph ⟨string expression⟩ of ⟨string expression⟩ . Is it possible to do the similar thing in metafun?

Index with distinguishable entries -- again
by Florian Grammel 28 Apr '17

28 Apr '17

Back in april 2012 Robert Blackstone asked some questions about indexing http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg63134.html i.a.: > For a book in the area of musicology I would like to make one register with > entries of different kinds, distinguishable by their appearance in the > register (or index or whatever). > The index entries will mostly be authors, including composers, musical terms > and musical compositions. The titles of the compositions and the foreign words > are set in italic characters throughout in the text of the book. > What I would like is to be able to distinguish all entries according to whether > they are treated in the text, are shown in a musical example, or are mentioned > only in a foot- or endnote. > > In many books page numbers indicating illustrations are set in italics. > Pagenumbers indicating foot- or endnotes often have a suffix "n". > His other question were resolved, but this one remained unanswered, apart from that two other users also wanted to do exactly the same thing. I would like to do something very similar and was wondering: Has this been addressed/solved since then? Thanks in advance!

This is the original produced by the \eqalignno. See the active links to previous equations in green, produced by my \ineq-macro. The equation numbers here are from the 7th chapter, in the latter (shortened) examples the chapter number will be 1.

Putting my \ineq-macro there \NC W(I,J) \NC H(J) - H(J|I)\NR\hbox{\ineq[eq:wedinfo]} gives an equally unacceptable result: [cid:ACE1072E-59D0-4310-8FC5-4E9E1FF3485C] On 26 Apr 2017, at 16:38, Otared Kavian <otared(a)gmail.com<mailto:otared@gmail.com>> also wrote: Hi Hans, Since a few weeks (or months?…) ago the use of \eqno and \eqalignno has been changed in mkiv.

In fact I wouldn't have spotted this, had not a colleague drawn my attention to it. Is this the only math macro behaving differently, giving a TeX error? Are there others? I cannot but ask most strongly not to let mkiv deviate in this manner from basic TeX's behaviour. I am doing a lot in ConTeXt but I mix it with parts of basic TeX. When I can no longer trust TeX doing like TeX I really don't know how to go further. Please return the original behaviour. Thanks for looking into it. Hans van der Meer

How to go through a vbox line by line in Lua?
by Henri Menke 27 Apr '17

27 Apr '17

Dear list, Recently I answered a question on TeX.SX where it was necessary to go through an already typeset vbox and examine it line by line. Therefore I used the macro \eatlines from Viktor Eijkhout's "TeX by Topic", here a version tailored to my needs: \def\eatlines{% \setbox\scratchbox=\lastbox \ifvoid\scratchbox\else \unskip\unpenalty {\eatlines}% \setbox\scratchbox=\hbox{\unhbox\scratchbox}% % Do something with scratchbox, e.g. examine width \fi } It is then used like \vbox{ ... some content ... \par\eatlines} The macro goes through all hboxes (lines) in the vertical list until there is none left (\ifvoid) and unpacks each hbox into a new one. I was wondering, can the same thing be done in Lua (with probably less and more readable code)? Kind regards, Henri

Long and slender floating tables
by Javier M Mora 23 Apr '17

23 Apr '17

Hi, I have several long and slenders tables like this: -------8<------- \starttext Some Text at start. % Point bA \placetable[split]{My long table}{ % Point bB \bTABLE[split=repeat] \bTABLEhead \bTR\bTD one \eTD\bTD two \eTD\bTD three \eTD\eTR \eTABLEhead \bTABLEbody \dorecurse{100}{\bTR\bTD 1 \eTD\bTD 2 \eTD\bTD 3 \eTD\eTR} \eTABLEbody \eTABLE % Point eB } % Point eA Some Text at the end. \stoptext -------8<------- Typesetting this tables are quite ugly because the wide white space each side. I think the ideal solution is to place columns inside the floating but context garden wiki says float and columns doesn't work very well. I've tried put in Points "bA" and "eA" and in "bB" and "eB" the commands \startcolumn - \stopcolumn \startsinglecolumn - \stopsinglecolumn but unsuccesful. I am thinking to cut manually the table but there are enough amount of table to don't like the idea. In the worst case, I'll force tables to start a page and cut them manually. Questions: * Is there a easy automatically system to cut tables in columns? How? * Do you think/know a better way to show/expose data with this shape (long rows and few columns)? Thanks. Javier M. Mora

\hyphenation command in TL 16

The \hyphenation{}-command is ignored in the texlive 2016 version (ver: 2016.05.17 19:20 MKIV). This has obviously been fixed since, as it works in the standalone. For other reasons I’d prefer to keep working with the TL16-version -- is it possible to patch the hyphenation easily in TL 16? Thanks in advance!

\xmldoifelse false condition
by Gerard Keiser 15 Apr '17

15 Apr '17

I am trying to select specific elements from an XML document to make anthologies, and still retain the original numbering, by using \xmldoifelse; if the node matches, it is printed, and if it is not, the head number is incremented, to get something like this: 1 First Section (first match) 4 Fourth Section (second match, but fourth element in the XML file) But the fail condition is not being triggered properly. Here are the files: % % anthologize.xml % \def\incrementheadnumber[#1]{\setupheadnumber[#1] [\numexpr\namedheadnumber{#1}+1\relax]} \startxmlsetups xml:selectivity:* \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{*}{-} \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{stuff|div|head}{xml:selectivity:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregisterdocumentsetup{selectivity}{xml:selectivity:*} % Here is the difficulty. \startxmlsetups{xml:selectivity:stuff} \xmldoifelse{#1}{/div[match()==1 or match()==4]/all()} { \xmlflush{#1} } { \incrementheadnumber[section] } \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups{xml:selectivity:div} \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups{xml:selectivity:head} \startsection[title={\xmlflush{#1}}]\stopsection \stopxmlsetups \starttext \xmlprocessfile{selectivity}{bob.xml}{} \stoptext % % bob.xml % <stuff> <div> <head>First Section</head> </div> <div> <head>Second Section</head> </div> <div> <head>Third Section</head> </div> <div> <head>Fourth Section</head> </div> </stuff> The result is that only the first and fourth heads are printed, as desired, but I end up with: 1 First Section 2 Fourth Section. I have used the \incrementheadnumber function elsewhere, and it works fine. If I replace \incrementheadnumber[section] with \xmlflush{#1}, it prints: 1 First Section 2 Fourth Section 3 First Section 4 Second Section 5 Third Section 6 Fourth Section So it seems to be properly triggering the true condition, but not the false condition, and I cannot figure out how to fix it. Using ConTeXt 2017.04.08 and LuaTeX 1.0.3. I do thank you for your help. Sincerely, Gerard Keiser

\language[is] not working
by Florian Grammel 14 Apr '17

14 Apr '17

The Icelandic hyphenation and language settings, though present in the installation (lang-is.lua), don’t seem to work on ConTeXt ver: 2016.05.17 19:20 MKIV current fmt: 2017.3.21 I’ve tried both \language[is] / \language[icelandic] and \mainlanguage[is] but the result is identical to English. Other languages (fr, ru, de) work as expected. Thanks in advance! ____________________________________________ Florian Grammel Copenhagen, Denmark

XML inclusion
by Meer, Hans van der 12 Apr '17

12 Apr '17

The command \xmlinclude{}{}{} includes the file specified by attribute IDENTIFIER of the element located by LPATH at NODE. What I would like to do is including a bunch of .xml files where the directory to load from is given. Is this a possibility or could this be a feature added to the ConTeXt XML-processing in a new beta? Hans van der Meer

How do I set the path to the figure cache?
by Kevin D. Robbins 12 Apr '17

12 Apr '17

By default, converted figures (m_k_i_v_foo.pdf for source figure foo.svg) are written to the same directory as the source figure. I would like all converted figures to be written instead to a cache directory in my home directory. How do I set this path? Best Regards, Kevin

processing very big tables
by Thomas A. Schmitz 12 Apr '17

12 Apr '17

Hi all, I need some fundamental advice from experienced users: I'm processing xml and collecting the data in lua tables, which I want to typeset in some sort of table or tabular format. Typesetting requirements are fairly low, just a couple of columns that need to be nicely aligned, with the occasional horizontal overflow that should be handled gracefully (i.e. longer lines should be broken), and of course, the table has to break across pages. However, the lua tables have several thousands of entries, and I expect the final document to have around 3,000 pages. When I tried Natural Tables, I got a "TeX capacity exceeded" error, which disappeared when I tried with a smaller part of my document. So my question is: what is the most "inexpensive" way of typesetting this sort of material? One of the table environments? Which one (would xtables be better?)? Or low-level vboxes within hboxes etc.? Or just \framed within \framed? What would you suggest for this sort of material? Thanks for your insights! Thomas

side caption top aligned on grid -- not implemented?
by Florian Grammel 08 Apr '17

08 Apr '17

At http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/362215/6819 I asked: How can I place the top line of the caption (location={left, high}) on the grid and have it align with the figure at same height. I hoped this to be solvable by some simple instructions that I just haven’t been able to figure out. But Henri Menke suggested in a comment that the mechanism might not be implemented. Is this really the case? And if so: is there any way to achieve the alignment anyway? I’d greatly appreciate any help as this is an important requirement for my present project! Best regards, Florian. ____________________________________________ Florian Grammel Copenhagen, Denmark

> How exactly do you mean to combine "ffi" and > "--shell-escape" to work with latest ConTeXt/LuaTeX? In usual luatex, ffi needs --shell-escape, since ffi is dangerous from the point of view of the security. As you know, ConTeXt allows --shell-escape, so the following works with context test.tex. % % context test.tex % \starttext \placeformula \startformula j_1(2.387) = \startluacode local ffi = require("ffi") ffi.cdef[[ double _j1(double x); ]] local mscrt = ffi.load("msvcrt") tex.print(mscrt._j1(2.387)) \stopluacode \stopformula \stoptext In the above example, a function _j1(x) in msvcrt.dll is evaluated. The msvcrt.dll must be loaded as above, because standard C library is linked statically. The following DLLs can be used without loading, because luatex knows them: SHLWAPI.dll WSOCK32.dll USER32.dll ADVAPI32.dll SHELL32.dll KERNEL32.dll WS2_32.dll GDI32.dll Note that you may not be able to use "DLL Lua Modules" in this way.

Strange behaviour with spacing in itemization using "columns" vs "horizontal".
by cryo shock 06 Apr '17

06 Apr '17

Hi folks, I noticed a difference in how spacing is set after an itemization. I have the following example: ----------------------------- \starttext \startitemize[packed, joinedup, columns, two] \startitem top left item \stopitem \startitem bottom left item \stopitem \startitem top right item \stopitem \startitem bottom right item \stopitem \stopitemize Notice the size of the blank space? \startitemize[packed, joinedup, horizontal, two] \startitem top left item \stopitem \startitem top right item \stopitem \startitem bottom left item \stopitem \startitem bottom right item \stopitem \stopitemize Notice the size of the blank space? \stoptext --------------------------------- Both itemizations are the same except item order and using "columns" in the first one and "horizontal" in the second. Yet the spacing after the first itemization seems not right. Or do I oversee something? Greetings, Sebastian

float pages again
by Florian Grammel 05 Apr '17

05 Apr '17

Back in 2007 there was a discussion here on the list about whether context could do something like LaTeX’s float pages. http://www.mail-archive.com/search?l=ntg-context%40ntg.nl&q=subject%3A%22%5… In short these are designated pages that LeTeX puts in to collect abundant top- and here-floats. There can -- in contrast to contex’s default=page -- be more than one float on such a page and there is no running text. In a LaTeX-setup correcponding to: %\setupfloats[nlines=15] \setupfloat[figure][default={here,top,bottom,page}] \starttext \section{First Section} \input zapf \placefigure {Blah} {\externalfigure[figurename][width=5.0in, height=3.0in]} \placefigure {Blah} {\externalfigure[figurename][width=5.0in, height=3.5in]} \placefigure {Blah} {\externalfigure[figurename][width=5.0in, height=3.5in]} \placefigure {Blah} {\externalfigure[figurename][width=5.0in, height=3.3in]} \placefigure {Blah} {\externalfigure[figurename][width=5.0in, height=3.3in]} \section{Second Section} \input zapf \input zapf \input zapf \stoptext pages 2 and 3 wouldn’t have body text on them. Is there a possibility to have context remove body text from pages with floats when the space falls short of a certain number of lines? Hans mentioned nlines in the old thread, but commenting it in doesn’t seem to have any effect. Best regards, Florian. ____________________________________________ Florian Grammel Copenhagen, Denmark

Presentations
by Mathias Schickel 04 Apr '17

04 Apr '17

Dear ConTeXt users, me again. I tried to send this emails before, but it seemed to be blocked, because I attached a sample file that seemed too big. This time I have a question concerning presentations. I was not able to figure out how I can define presentation steps in a way that each step is shipped as a single PDF page in the output. By this I mean steps in one slide that unfold step by step by moving on to the next pdf page. (This means one slide is represented in the PDF as a whole bunch of pages.) The command \StartSetps and \FlushStep does something like that, but this seems to use some JAVA script magic that only works using Adobe Acrobat (and the steps are unfolded by hitting the mouse button and not by going on to the next PDF page). How can it be modified in a way that a new page per step is created containing the next step in a way that going to the next pdf page unfolds the next step? You can get an example using (code out of the file present-stepper-001.tex out of the distribution) \usemodule[present-stepper] \starttext \Topic{Female Artists} \StartSteps \startitemize \item Fiona Apple \FlushStep \item Tori Amos \FlushStep \item Kate Bush \FlushStep \item Heather Nova \FlushStep \item Alanis Morissette \FlushStep \item Suzanne Vega \FlushStep \stopitemize \StopSteps \stoptext I really like the step solution ConTeXt uses but it would be nice to be able to switch between the (supposed) JAVA script solution and the presentation of a the steps of a slide as several pages. Besides that, it would be nice, too, to be able to configure the step mechanism in a way that the arrow keys of the keyboard unfold the next step (instead of hitting the mouse button). Is there any possibility to do that (if it would be, I would in deed prefer the ConTeXt approach to steps before the LaTeX one with several pages per slide). Apart from that, I have noticed that viewing the steps the first time disables them if you go back in the presentation. This means there is no way to go back that preserves the steps as such (or I was not able to found that way :-) ). (Especially it does not seem to be able to go back one step.) It would be more intuitive if going forward and backward followed the same steps. Another way to achieve something like that would be a reset button for each page that resets the step behaviour after having viewed the slide and it steps for the first time (in a way that for second viewing the steps mechanism could be reset). Apart form that the beamer package of LaTeX knows some commands like \only<[number of slide]>{<content>} that places the content in the brackets {} on the slide only at slide number [number of slide]. Does ConTeXt have a command like that? Thank you for your assistance! Kind regards Mathias Schickel

ConTeXT does not seem to be finding the fonts that I have in my OSFONTDIR, which is set in my .bash_profile by the line export OSFONTDIR=./Users/bowen1/Library/Fonts/ I have clean-installed the latest beta (ConTeXt ver: 2017.03.26 16:15 MKIV beta) The file processes but substitutes fonts for what I want: mkiv lua stats > loaded fonts: 10 files: latinmodern-math.otf, lmroman10-bold.otf, lmroman10-bolditalic.otf, lmroman10-italic.otf, lmroman10-regular.otf, lmroman12-regular.otf, lmromancaps10-regular.otf, texgyretermes-math.otf, texgyrecursor-regular.otf, texgyrepagella-regular.otf Files worked until yesterday (with the latest beta). But then I began experimenting with a Hieroglyphic font….. I am running MacOS 10.12.4 (if that is relevant). Any suggestions will be most welcome. Alan

--------------------------------------------------------------------->8 I had to add more replacements to have words sorted right (ἀδικία goes before αὐτός) and not to get two instances of lowercase and uppercase letters. What is weird is that ς (final form for σ [the same letter]) is sorted before σ. But I don‘t know how to force to the final form be sorted the other form. It is also strange that δ’ is placed after δέ or δὲ, but I don‘t know how to avoid that. Could you replace the definitions with the ones provided here? (Remember that the grc identifier should be replaced.) Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

understanding index sorting
by Pablo Rodriguez 02 Apr '17

02 Apr '17

Hans, I have just discovered the following: \define[1]\indx{#1\index{#1}} \starttext \indx{an} \indx{american} \indx{Aphrodite} \placeindex \stoptext Lowercase letters are placed after its uppercase counterparts. I don’t have (almost) any experience with indices in ConTeXt, but which is the way to turn this off? Sorry, but I don’t see a reason to have this as default. I mean, I have never seen any encyclopedia or dictionary that sorts entries according to letter case. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

How do I insert characters before \par
by Rik Kabel 01 Apr '17

01 Apr '17

ConTeXters, I am stymied trying to insert characters into a buffer, or failing that, to back up, removing the \par, and adding characters after the buffer is loaded. The code I am working with reduces to this: 1. % macros=mkvi engine=luajittex 2. \starttexdefinition unexpanded startABC 3. \begingroup 4. \dosingleempty\dostartABC 5. \stoptexdefinition 6. \starttexdefinition dostartABC [#SETUPS] 7. \getrawparameters[ABC][inset=2em,#SETUPS] 8. \grabbufferdata[bu:ABC][startABC][stopABC] 9. \stoptexdefinition 10. \starttexdefinition stopABC 11. \setupnarrower[left=\ABCinset] 12. \startnarrower[left,right] 13. \startlines 14. (\,\inlinebuffer[bu:ABC]\,) 15. \stoplines 16. \stopnarrower 17. \endgroup 18. \stoptexdefinition 19. \starttext 20. \startsubject[title={Test of ABC}] 21. \startABC[inset=5em] 22. “Hope” is the thing with feathers\,— 23.

Inlining a second buffer which contains the closing bits with (\inlinebuffer[a,b]) does the same. Can somebody suggest a path? --- Rik

A question about Lucida fonts
by Otared Kavian 30 Mar '17

30 Mar '17

Hi, I would like to buy the set of Lucida fonts from TUG https://www.tug.org/store/lucida/index.html <https://www.tug.org/store/lucida/index.html> but I am wondering which flavor, Open Type or Type 1, is supposed to work smoothly (and easily…) with ConTeXt mkiv. Actually a very long time ago I bought those fonts from yandy.com <http://yandy.com/>, but those were designed to work only on a Mac OS 9 (yes I am so that old… :-). Since I am sure some people on the mailing list have an experience and good advices to share, I would appreciate having their opinion. Best regards: OK
