output filename with SHA256
by Pablo Rodriguez 28 Feb '24

28 Feb '24

Dear list, I have the following sample file: \starttext whatever \startluacode luatex.wrapup( function() local t = {} local pdf_file_name = tex.jobname..".pdf" local sha_pdf = utilities.sha2.hash256(io.loaddata(pdf_file_name)) local c_r = environment.currentrun t[c_r] = sha_pdf local exists_pdf = ("%s_%s-%s.pdf"):format(c_r-1, tex.jobname, t[c_r-1]) if io.exists(exists_pdf) then os.remove(exists_pdf) end os.rename(pdf_file_name, ("%s_%s-%s.pdf"):format(c_r, tex.jobname, sha_pdf)) end ) \stopluacode \stoptext In short, it adds its SHA256 to the final filename. Since renames the PDF document in each run, I would like to remove the output from the previous run. The table seems not to store the value from a previous run. I see now that I am creating it again with each run. Is there any way to check if compilation needs any other run? Many thanks for your help, Pablo

\getdocumentfilename or document.files
by Pablo Rodriguez 27 Feb '24

27 Feb '24

Dear list, I have the following sample (saved as "a.tex"): \starttext \getdocumentfilename{1} \cldcontext{document.files[1]} \getdocumentfilename{2} \cldcontext{document.files[2]} \getdocumentfilename{3} \cldcontext{document.files[3]} \stoptext I compile it with: context --purgeall a b c "b.tex" is a different file and "c.tex" is a symlink to "a.tex". I only get the first filename for "a.tex" and the last filename for "c.tex". Which is the right way to get the second and third filenames when in "a.pdf" (or the first two ones in "c.pdf")? Many thanks for your help, Pablo

Works now! At Work, and a question to paragraphs in an Theorem
by Ursula Hermann 27 Feb '24

27 Feb '24

Dear List, At Work everything works fine now. Many thanks for those, who have written me. I have a question to my paragraphs: \definetextbackground[Paragaph][ location=paragraph, background=color, backgroundcolor=lightgray, leftoffset=.5\bodyfontsize, rightoffset=.5\bodyfontsize, topoffset=.5\bodyfontsize, bottomoffset=.5\bodyfontsize, frame=off,] \startparagraph \starttext Mitunter ist es aus der Formulierung nur schwer zu erkennen, dass ein \m{∃\forall} oder ein \m{\forall\m∃} versteckt ist. Dann ist es besonders wichtig, die Formulierung sehr lange zu prüfen und eventuell auch formalisiert noch einmal aufzuschreiben.” \blank Der Wert von \m{y = f(x)} ist unabhängig von der Wahl\par von \m{x\doubleprime} ist gleichbedeutend mit \m{∃y : ∀x : f(x) = y} \par (Beutelspacher [10, S.54]). \stopparagraph \stoptext So this is the example. What I like to do: The first paragraph should be normal written, but the second one should have more space between the words. Because of Math: Is \hspace the right way? The right command? And using \startnarrower, \stopnarrower? Many thanks Uschi

Hyperlinks cease working after page selection
by Michael Guravage 27 Feb '24

27 Feb '24

Greetings, The document in question compiles correctly. Its hyperlinks are correct and work as expected. However, if I apply a page selection, the hyperlinks in the resulting document, while correctly coloured, no longer work. Any suggestions on how to correct or work around this would be greatly appreciated. \setupinteraction[state=start, color=darkblue] \setupwhitespace [big] \starttext Consult the \goto{\ConTeXt\ wiki}[url(https://wiki.contextgarden.net/)] .\par \dorecurse{5}{\samplefile{lorem}\par} \stoptext Processed as follows: context mwe.tex context --extra=select --selection=1 --result=foobar.pdf mwe.pdf -- With kind regards, Michael Guravage

Issue with italics
by Jean-Pierre Delange 26 Feb '24

26 Feb '24

Dear list, When handling the preamble to a document in which I would like to treat the text in French, with sometimes italics text and phrases in ancient Greek, I encounter the following difficulty: if I use TeX Gyre Pagella as the main font, everything works fine, except for the Ancient Greek text, which I don't like the look of. But the Greek text is displayed, as are the French italics. On the other hand, if I use GFS Didot as the main font and Theano Didot for the Greek, the italics disappear and the Greek text looks better. The CTX version I use is: mtx-context | current version: 2024.01.24 22:39. Herewith are two MWE attachments (*.tex + *.pdf) with different fonts. What am I missing ? Thanks for your answers. JP

Thank you for your interest, Aditya. The error was kindly fixed by Hans introducing the following fix at line 993 in tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/back-exp-imp-mth.lmt: function extras.msubsup(di,element,n,fulltag) local data = di.data local nuc = found(data) local sup = found(data,"sup") local sub = found(data,"sub") data[1] = nuc or dummy_nucleus data[2] = sub or dummy_nucleus data[3] = sup or dummy_nucleus data.__i__ = 3 local sp = specifications[di.fulltag] if attributes then attributes.mathsupindex = sp.supshifted attributes.mathsubindex = sp.subshifted else di.attributes = { mathsupindex = sp.supshifted, mathsubindex = sp.subshifted, } end end This solved the issue. -- Andrés Conrado Montoya Andi Kú andresconrado(a)gmail.com http://sesentaycuatro.com http://messier87.com http://chiquitico.org ---------------------------------------- Los fines no justifican los medios, porque la medida verdadera de nuestro carácter está dada por los medios que estamos dispuestos a utilizar, no por los fines que proclamamos. ---------------------------------------- “You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it.

Strange error at lxml-mms.lmt:749

However, this same file Im working on has many formulas before that, those work fine. I changed all the $...$ to \math{...} just in case, but with no success. Already tried remaking, regenerating, updating the distribution. Do you have any ideas to work this out? I don't know how to provide a MWE for this because it's a very big project (statistics book).

MetaPost lines in tables?

I guess I asked this a while ago, but I can’t find an answer: Is it possible to replace the lines of a TABLE with my own MetaPost graphics? ATM I’m trying to place my MP lines behind a frame-less TABLE; it will probably work, but it’s a crutch… Hraban

using an end of line as parameter
by Miguel Diaz 22 Feb '24

22 Feb '24

Dear list, I want to format some language tests that different people are preparing. Each one uses different software and there are always problems in format that i want to solve. for a a/b/c questions I receive text that I will format to a list (comments are mine) In den Büchereien gibt es auch … %the question … Kuchen. %option a … Theater. %option b … Workshops. %option c I need to detect \par or whatever sign marks the newline character as an argument delimiter so that I dont have to paste hundreds of times braces for each argument. For the example, I use this macro definition (which does no work!) \long\def\prueba #1\par#2\par#3\par#4ñ{\framed[frame=off,width=0.8\textwidth,corner=round,offset=1em,align=flushleft]% {{\bf Beispiel}: #1\\ \qquad a) #2\\ \qquad b) {\bf #3}\\ \qquad c) #4 } I get: tex error on line 493 in file ./prueba.tex: The file ended when scanning an argument. the macro seems to read to the end of file not detecting \par; I know its the \par that causes the problem; I used ^^M also which I read is a sinonym for return but it also does not work. Help would be appreciated (my computer keyboard would appreciate it too...)

LuaTeX 1.18.0
by luigi scarso 21 Feb '24

21 Feb '24

The upcoming version 1.18.0 has some changes that are not compatible with previous versions but should only apply in kpse mode: 1) the debug library is disabled; can be enabled with --luadebug 2) os.rename os.remove and lfs library functions are checked from kpse to see if the path is legal I'm sure some packages that use debug won't work without --luadebug at least. LuaLaTeX should be ok, and also ConTeXt mkiv should be ok. -- luigi

Hi all I went to use the lmt_shade function and it fails with two error messages. the first one is: /metafun > log > error: Not a cycle/ followed by lots of trace messages, then: /metafun > log > That contour should have ended with '.. cycle' or '& cycle'.

Text in Margin
by Jeroen 20 Feb '24

20 Feb '24

In a textbook I am looking to place a large left margin at every page of each chapter. At left printed pages a left margin and at right printed pages a right margin, so like a double sided construction. In this margin I would like to place: 1. Keywords and small descriptions to emphasize some text from the textflow 2. Figures 3. An expansion of a table that is placed in the main textflow but that needs to cover a wider range then the text area so it expands into the margin What is the the easiest way to achieve this? Jeroen

Fwd: Re: Working with layer sets with Metapost
by Emanuel Han 19 Feb '24

19 Feb '24

I just made a strange observation in the output pdf of the attached layer_set.tex, which is that when opening it with a pdf viewer like skim or macos preview and showing miniatures, all pages except the last one show page number 1 (the last showing page number 2).

Working with layer sets with Metapost
by Emanuel Han 17 Feb '24

17 Feb '24

Dear list, the attached .tex file is the minimal working example we discussed today in the online meeting. I realized that the approach of looping through k of p[k] is not fitting my needs, because it's not flexible enough. I need another approach, one which works with layer sets. I would stop using p as an array, because with the layer sets approach we don't have a fixed order of the layers. So the definition of the layers would be something like picture layerA; layerA:=image( label("Word 1", z1); ); picture layerW; layerW:=image( label("Mot 2", z2); ); picture layerM; layerM:=image( label("Parola 3", z3); ); picture layerC; layerC:=image( label("Wort 4", z3+z1); ); picture layerY; layerY:=image( label("Nummer 5", z2+z3); ); picture layerU; layerU:=image( label("number 6", z2+z1); ); After that, I would define layer sets and layer subsets. This will be done manually for each layer set and each layer subset. I don't know the proper syntax to do that. Let's assume we could use a variable type called "myset". myset layersubsetGamma; layersubsetGamma:={layerU,layerM}; In my logic, the layers will be drawn in the order of their appearance within the {}. In the example, drawn content of layerM might cover drawn content of layerU. Contrary to a layer subset, each layer set will result in a PDF page, and thus the layer sets are related to each other by an inner order. That's why I would use an array variable here with []. I don't know how to append a set. In the following example, I assumed there would be a function myappend(<initial set>, <the things what the initial set should be appended with>) myset layerset[]; layerset1 := {layerW,layerA}; layerset2 := myappend{layerset1, layerY}; layerset3 := myappend{layerset2, layersubsetGamma}; layerset4 := myappend{layerset2, layerU}; layerset5 := myappend{layerset4, layersubsetGamma}; Finally, I would need each layerset[k] typeset on its own pdf page. And of course on each page k, only the layers which appear in the definition of the layerset[k] should be drawn on top of each other in the order as they appear in that definition. I'm very curious to hear your suggestions. Thanks Emanuel

behaviour sy in externalfigure
by Hans van der Meer 16 Feb '24

16 Feb '24

The scaling in \externalfigure[][] with option sy=number seems to have a discrete change in behaviour between sy=1.0 and sy=(not 1.0). The MWE (see below, FIGURE REMOVED BECAUSE OTHERWISE MESSAGE TOO LARGE) shows that factor sy≠1.0 is applied to the original height of the figure, but for sy=1.0 the height is changed proportional to the reduction in width. Thus the series sy=0.999 sy=1.0 sy=1.001 has a discontinuity in the scaling of height. I would expect sy=1.0 to return the figure in the original height. Is this behaviour on purpose? With the current behaviour I must provide for sy=1.0 => sy=1.001 in order to get the original height. Although not to difficult with a jump to Lua code, I would prefer not. yours sincerely dr.

XML processing, unwanted indentation/alignment
by Michael Guravage 16 Feb '24

16 Feb '24

Greetings, I'm typesetting an address book whose addresses are in XML. A typical entry has this structure: <family surname=""> <address street="" housenumber="" postcode="1" city="" telephone="" /> <members> <member first_name="" initials="" maiden_name="" birthday="" email="" mobile="" /> <member first_name="" initials="" birthday="" email="" mobile="" /> <member first_name="" initials="" birthday="" /> </members> </family> initials and birthday are required, first_name can be left blank and email, mobile and maiden_name are optional. I've written a macro (name) to compose the name, i.e. initials, first_name (maiden_name), and another macro (nameemaillink) to make the name a link associated with an email address. % Derive an individual's name \def\name#1% {\ifxmlattempty{#1}{first_name} {\xmlatt{#1}{initials}} \else {\xmlatt{#1}{initials}, \xmlatt{#1}{first_name}} \fi \ifxmlattempty{#1}{maiden_name} {} \else { \tfxx(\xmlatt{#1}{maiden_name})} \fi} % Create a mailto:link that associates a individual's name with their email address. \def\nameemaillink#1% {\ifxmlattempty{#1}{email} {\name{#1}} \else {\goto{\name{#1}} [url(mailto:\xmlatt{#1}{email})]} \fi} I thought I was done when I noticed that a composed name with an empty first name, with or without an email address, is slightly indented. In the mwe Moe and Curly, without first names, are indented; while Shemp and Michael aren't. That the undesired indentation/alignment is dependent on the presence of a first name is baffling. After this long description, if someone would look at the code and tell me where I've gone wrong I would be very grateful. The interesting bits begin on lines 8 and 12 in xml.tex. -- With kind regards, Michael

Re: An announcement of my new book.
by SirColeman 15 Feb '24

>> This is wrong, the counter commands are official and the number variants are kept for backwards compatibility with old styles. I do recall reading on the ConTeXt wiki that \definenumber is maintained for backwards compatibility reasons. However, why then does ConTeXt fail to compile with \getcounter, if that's how it's supposed to work? I was confused, don't get me wrong, but what I wrote was my own conclusion on the matter. Clearly, we have a bug that needs to be reported. I wish my email hadn't included such misinformation. But now, this is a bug that needs to be resolved. I'm running ConTeXt version 2024.01.24, and the given attachment fails to compile, even with MkIV. I don't want to pester those subscribed to this mailing list with bug reports, so I thought it would be more sensible to post such reports on the context developers mailing list. I ask for confirmation that I can post there instead of here. Thanks.

Installation of linux-32bits
by Alain Delmotte 15 Feb '24

15 Feb '24

Hi! I tried to install the linux 32 bits kindly provided by Hans. It went all right up to: mtxrun -generate First I had to change my PATH putting the path to lmtx before TeXlive, because it was always the files from TeXlive which were used. Then I got: ---------------------------- alain@alain:~/context/tex/texmf-linux/bin$ mtxrun --generate resolvers | resolving | variable 'SELFAUTOLOC' set to '/home/alain/context/bin' resolvers | resolving | variable 'SELFAUTODIR' set to '/home/alain/context' resolvers | resolving | variable 'SELFAUTOPARENT' set to '/home/alain' resolvers | resolving | variable 'TEXMFCNF' set to '' resolvers | resolving | variable 'TEXMF' set to '' resolvers | resolving | variable 'TEXOS' set to 'context' [...] resolvers | resolving | resolvers | resolving | warning: no lua configuration files found resolvers | resolving | no texmf paths are defined (using TEXMF) resolvers | resolving | mtxrun | mtxrun | elapsed lua time: 0.113 seconds ----------------------------- so the binaries were not created. What did I wrong? How to solve the problem? Thanks, Alain

upload
by Hans Hagen 15 Feb '24

15 Feb '24

Hi, as we're around texlive code freeze time we're also in upload mode - i uploaded a new lmtx - i also added linux and windows 32 bin (as it seems to have users) - we're now using lua 5.5 which has one restriction (was already announced a while ago): for i=1,10 in t do .... i = 2 * i .... end should now be: for i=1,10 in t do .... local i = 2 * i .... end as one cannot change the (local constant) i which actually is not that different from what metapost does. The good news is that voilating this is reported when a lua file is loaded so one can't get it unexspectedly.

An announcement of my new book.
by SirColeman 14 Feb '24

14 Feb '24

Greetings all. I have a passion for typesetting. I found that currently the best typesetting systems are those that are based on TeX. Of them, there are LaTeX, and ConTeXt. LaTeX is very well documented and popular; ConTeXt, on the other hand, is apparently very powerful and capable, but is not as well documented. There are things that are spectacularly well documented, others that only show hints, and leave it up to the user to figure things out on their own, and others still that won't even compile on a more recent version of ConTeXt (apparently the proper way to access a counter's value in ConTeXt is to use \getnumber or \convertednumber, and not \getcounter. That's just an example). I thus thought, as an exercise in typesetting, in writing, and also to help the ConTeXt documentation, to write a new book, a large book, that teaches the details of how ConTeXt on a lower level works, allowing one to understand how to utilize low level typesetting features for anything more sophisticated than a simple book or article. By lower level, I mean how things like heads, items, references, alignment, tables, etc., work. Also, I would like a book that teaches things like how to program it using lua, how to understand and utilize the underlying engine itself (the low level LuaMetaTeX), how to even use DocBook with ConTeXt, etc. (I do realize that there already are manuals for lua in ConTeXt and on LuaMetaTeX, etc., and manuals on various different parts of ConTeXt, and I'll certainly be learning from them whenever their particular topic comes, but I reserve the opportunity to rewrite parts of these manuals for this book, as is necessary for the book's purpose, perhaps referencing these manuals for further details.) In particular, I want to go a step beyond the book "A not so short introduction to ConTeXt Mark IV", and teach the particularly advanced features, where there is sparse information. Particularly, it's meant to serve as one complete reference, instead of having to hunt for different manuals, which explain things differently, and with the consequence that it's hard to find a particular piece of information because its scattered around so many different places. This book should serve as the one and only final documentation that you would need. It would contain everything in a highly cohesive format, in one place, and make particular pieces of information particularly easy to find. I realize that this is a very ambitious undertaking, but I find that a unified source of information is better than information with varying levels of quality scattered across more places than one can hold in his head. I just have one question: What is all the necessary material to understand and utilize the low level TeX programming language itself? That is, what do I need to read to learn to be able to read the ConTeXt source code itself (which is written in TeX---and lua, but I can help myself in that regard)? Is the "Low Level TeX" set of manuals all that I'll need, or will I need other sources of information too? And also, is it worth learning Plain TeX, and reading The TeXbook, or is not necessary? And, I'm grateful to have an alternative to LaTeX. It's certainly promising, but I would like to help make it appealing, by making it easy to learn and master it, and provide a single source of information. I'm grateful for having ConTeXt. P.S. If I have bugs to file, should I file them on this mailing list, or on the dev-context(a)ntg.nl mailing list? And, to all beginner ConTeXt users: What would you like to see covered in this book? Thanks. -- Sent with Tuta; enjoy secure & ad-free emails: https://tuta.com

regular online meet-up
by Henning Hraban Ramm 14 Feb '24

14 Feb '24

You’re invited to our regular online meet-up, this upcoming Wednesday, February 13th, 19:00 CET (UTC+1) at https://lecture.senfcall.de/hen-rbr-rku-oke (same, but shorter: https://u.mtxrun.eu/ctxmtg) ConTeXt users of all levels are welcome! Do you have a subject that you’d like to talk about? (I hope I’ll manage to show a poster draft…) Looking forward to seeing you, Hraban (Same blurb as always:) [Howto] * No special software installation required; most modern browsers should work (WebRTC required). * Open the URL above, accept the privacy statement, * enter your name, * click "join" (or "start" if you’re the first), * click "with microphone", allow your browser to access it, check the audio. * Your microphone is muted if you join. Activate microphone and/or camera with the buttons at the bottom. * Minimize the default presentation with the "screen" button, bottom right. * If you’d like to share your screen or upload a file, you can make yourself the presenter: Click on your user name, change the setting, then you’ll see the "screen sharing" button beside the camera button; also there’s now "manage presentations" behind the "plus" button. Beware there is only one presenter at a time, so don’t kill someone else’s presentation. [Technical hints] * Sound is usually better if you use a headset (less noise for everyone). * Connection problems are mostly due to low bandwidth or high latency on your side, e.g. with mobile connections. * Sometimes leaving and re-entering helps. * If audio/video doesn’t work for you, you can still use the text chat. * Screen sharing needs a lot of bandwidth. * BigBlueButton documentation applies: https://bigbluebutton.org/teachers/tutorials/ [Netiquette] * Please use a name that we recognize from here. Some feel uncomfortable with anonymous lurkers. * Mute your microphone while you’re not talking. * It’s nice to show your face at least when you join. * If there are connection problems, stop camera sharing. * The room is set to “everyone’s a moderator“, I trust you...

Two bugs with descriptions in ConTeXt.
by SirColeman 13 Feb '24

The first bug is that descriptions interfere with the counters, resulting in the peculiar behavior demonstrated in the resulting PDF. Unless I'm mistaken, I think it happens because the head of the description is evaluated twice, thus incrementing the counter twice---at least, that's the only explanation for how the number is incremented by 2 each time. Further, this issue seems to persist whether we're using macros or writing \incrementcounter directly. The solution is to either make sure that the head of descriptions is evaluated only once, or document that text placed as the head of descriptions is meant to be evaluated twice, if there's a good reason for doing so. Of course, this silly example of incrementing counters can be subdued by placing the \incrementcounter directly in the after option when customizing descriptions. But it demonstrates the issue. I've tried to make the examples given be as varied as possible, demonstrating the different ways in which descriptions interact with the counter. The second bug is that descriptions, or at least that's my intuitive expectation, shouldn't interfere with the bullets of items. I expect that the bullet stays where it is, and the description is placed next to it. But what happens is that the bullet is shifted to the right, making it overlap with the description's head, which isn't pretty. ConTeXt version 2024.1.24

Context lmtx for 32bit under LUBUNTU 18.04
by Alain Delmotte 13 Feb '24

13 Feb '24

Hi, A month or so ago Hans provided a new upload (thanks I managed to get and install it on my Windows 10 64b). At that time I was struggling for having my computers back in order (that appends sometimes). Now I'd like to have LMTX on an old but still used (when travelling) portable under lubuntu 18.04 32Bits. There is no more executable available on pragma and I am using Context from TeX Live, but it is the 2017 version. I can do with it, but it would be better to have Context lmtx latest. Is it possible to have it? But if this a too complicate problem, I'll stand with the TeX Live Context. Thanks for the system anyway. Regards, Alain Delmotte Montpellier, France

Hi, I came across this interview with John Warnock (founder of Adobe and developer of PostScript): https://archive.computerhistory.org/resources/access/text/2023/08/102738759… Maybe you already know it. And there’s probably a video version. While the first half about his personal history might not be that interesting, “how computer graphics came to be” surely is (a simulator for ship pilots played an important role). And there’s a side blow to Don Knuth that his approach to fonts was wrong. ;) HR

How to print the book title and section title where \reference is located?
by Joel 09 Feb '24

09 Feb '24

I have an extensive multi-book project. Each book has a nickname, like TB for "Textbook", "WB 1" for the "Workbook, Vol. 1": TB -- 01_textbook.texWB 1 -- 03_workbook.texWB 2 -- 04_workbook.texWB 3 -- 05_workbook.tex WB 4 -- 06_workbook.tex TG -- 08_teachersguide.tex I have to prove to a government agency that the content meets several requirements, so I'm giving them a simple file that says something like "Requirement A is met in TB, "Cats", p. 11" basically letting the reader know its in the textbook, section called "Cats", on p. 11. To mark the pages, I'm simply dropping in macros called "\requirementA" "\requirementB" on whichever page of whichever book demonstrates it meets the requirement, then the file will aquatically list the book, section, and page number by searching for that macro. \define\requirementA{ \reference[markerA]{This is a comment.} } \define\requirementB{ \reference[markerB]{This is a comment.} } \define\requirementC{ \reference[markerC]{This is a comment.} } \starttext \section{Cats} \requirementA \input knuth \requirementC \requirementB \pagebreak \section{Fish} \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \requirementC \requirementB \pagebreak \section{Frogs} \input knuth \requirementB \pagebreak \section{Markers} \startitemize \item Requirement A is met \at{page}[markerA]. \item Requirement B is met \at{page}[markerB]. \item Requirement C is met \at{page}[markerC]. \stopitemize \stoptext I have this sample code, but it only works for a single document, and only displays page number. I tried looking at the \about and other related command, but that requires giving a reference name and referring to the titles, not my dropped macro. How can I modify this to display a message like below, plus also scans the other files. *It only needs to reference the first found occurrence.* Here is a sample message what the output should give: "Requirement A is met in WB 3, "Bears", p. 33." --Joel

\startcolumns and \startcolumnset
by Jeong Dal 09 Feb '24

09 Feb '24

Dear all, I have a little problem to use “columns” in the following example. If I use “\startcolumnset”, then I have the following problems: 1. The figures is aligned left even though I use \startplacefigure[]. 2. In the second column, the first item located at the end of the page. However, \vfill works, so I managed the items evenly spaced vertically. If I use “\startcolumns”, then I have the following problems: 1. \vfill doesn’t works, but \blank[] works. So, it isn’t easy to locate the items evenly spaced vertically. Here are sample code and its outputs of two cases for comparison. Any suggestions are welcomed.

hyphenation question
by Hans van der Meer 02 Feb '24

02 Feb '24

In the 18th century documents I am transcribing often words are abbreviated as for example voorschreeve becoming voors: In the transcription it is usual to write this as voors[chreeve] indicating to the reader how the abbreviation was interpreted. The problem then arises with hyphenation, because voors[chreeve] in the example will not be hyphenated as if the []'s were absent. Which is what I would like to happen. Question: is it possible to realize this and how? yours sincerely dr. Hans van der Meer

Nested itemize lists: unexpected spacing
by Jim 01 Feb '24

01 Feb '24

Consider the following: \starttext Text before. \startitemize[1,nowhite] \item item 1 \item item 2 \startitemize[5,nowhite] \item sub-item 1 \item sub-item 2 \stopitemize \item item 3 \stopitemize Text after. \stoptext Notwithstanding the "nowhite" options, there is a blank line before sub-item 1, which I do not want. Oddly (to me), if I change the first "nowhite" to "packed", the space before sub-item 1 goes away, but then I get undesired space before and after the out itemization. Q1: Can someone explain the Zen of this? That is, why does the blank line before sub-item 1 go away with "packed", but not "nowhite"? Poking around on the internet, I find that if I leave the "nowhite"s, but precede "Text before." with \unprotect \c_strc_itemgroups_spacing_mode=1 % 0 works too, but 2 doesn't \protect then I get the spacing I want. Q2: \c_strc_itemgroups_spacing_mode seems to be an undocumented "feature". Is there a "documented" way of making the unwanted blank line go away, without introducing unwanted blank lines before and after the outer itemize list? Thanks. Jim

textbackground spacing offset

Hi! I'm having problems getting the textbackground spacing offset to work. Example: \setupframedtext [offset=overlay, width=max, depthcorrection=off] \setuptextbackground [location=paragraph, %% offset=overlay, %% does nothing %% backgroundoffset=overlay, %% does nothing %% depthcorrection=off, %% does nothing %% topoffset=3mm, %% works, but only for positive values background=, frame=on] \starttext \startframedtext \framed{Foo} \stopframedtext \starttextbackground \framed{Foo} \stoptextbackground \stoptext How do it get the same spacing as in the framedtext case? The textbackground has a small gap between the inner and outer frame at the top and a larger gab at the bottom. I'm not concerned with horizontal spacing here. Marco LMTX 2023.09.04 19:15

chronological TOC
by jbf 30 Jan '24

30 Jan '24

I wonder if someone can point me in the right direction for a separate TOC which needs to be in chronological order at the back of the book (i.e. not in page number order, although I need the page numbers to show up in the TOC. There is the normal TOC at the front of the book, according to chapter titles. I have succeeded in defining a separate TOC to place at the back, but have not succeeded in the chronological order! Here is what I have done: \definelist[chron][criterium=all,alternative=c] At the back of the book: \placelist[chron][criterium=all] Then at an appropriate point after each \startchapter I have placed (as an example): \writetolist[chron]{}{{\bf 29 April 2017,} Speech, Panama City} This gives me my list, but in page number order. How do I get the date (e.g. 29 April 2017) to be the ordering factor in the list. I assume it will be something to do with criterium, but am clueless at the moment on how to indicate this. Julian

Own command definition breaks with interaction: Use of \do_my_command doesn't match its definition

Here is a minimal example (also attached): ``` \startluacode function userdata.my_command(keywords, text) commands.writestatus("test", string.format("text: %s, config: %s", text, keywords)) local cfg = utilities.parsers.settings_to_hash(keywords) if cfg['emph'] ~= nil then context("\\emph{" .. text ..

How to stop

I have a document that uses ~40 different TABLE configurations, each with their own special requirements, such as these below, and in total, perhaps 2000 tables appear in a file, using one of the configurations. \setupTABLE[r][1][align=raggedleft] \setupTABLE[c][1][width=.1\textwidth] \setupTABLE[c][2][width=.33\textwidth] \setupTABLE[c][3][width=.37\textwidth] \setupTABLE[c][4][width=.1\textwidth] \setupTABLE[c][5][width=.1\textwidth] \setupTABLE[c][1,2,3,4,5][align=raggedleft, frame=off] %\setupTABLE[r][2,3,4,5,6,8,9,11,12,14][bottomframe=off] \setupTABLE[r][1][bottomframe=on] \bTABLE[split=yes] \bTR\bTD {\it Lesson} \eTD\bTD {\it Time} \\eTD\bTD {\it Date} \eTD\bTD {\it Page} \eTD\eTR \eTABLE What I've been finding is that previous settings on TABLES appearing earlier in the document is impacting later tables. For instance, if one has a frame to the right of column 1, then the next table seems to acquire this setting as well, even if it isn't expected to have any frames at all. Note that each unique table is defined inside a macro. How can I make these table settings only apply to the a specific table? --Joel

\framed{\externalfigure} vs \externalfigure[frame=on]
by Jim 27 Jan '24

27 Jan '24

The wiki page for \setupexternalfigure says "Show frame around image. Most(?) options of \setupframed are usable!" I tried to put a frame around a picture (using \externalfigure with frame=on) but I didn't get the frame to play nicely (see example below). I can get the frame where I want it if instead I do \framed[frame=on,...]{\externalfigure...} but this leaves me wondering whether (1) I am misinterpreting the wiki pages, (2) The wiki pages are misleading/wrong, or (3) There is a bug in some code. If anyone would care to enlighten me, I would appreciate it. In particular, the offset=... option of \externalfigure does not seem to be consistent with the offset=... option of \framed. Here is the example... one and all should be able to directly run it, but the text above and below each picture may make the issues clear without having to run the code. (The result I was looking for is the second figure in this example.) Thanks. Jim %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% cut here %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \setuppapersize[legal] \starttext fr[ef] with frameoffset=1cm: This preceding text ends up inside the frame. \framed[frame=on,frameoffset=1cm]{\externalfigure[cow][width=3cm,frame=on]} This following text ends up inside the frame. \vskip0.25 in\hrule\vskip0.25 in fr[ef] with offset=1cm: This preceding text is above the frame as desired. \framed[frame=on,offset=1cm]{\externalfigure[cow][width=3cm,frame=on]} This following text is below the frame, as desired. \vskip0.25 in\hrule\vskip0.25 in ef[fr] with frameoffset=1cm: This preceding text ends up inside the frame. \externalfigure[cow][width=3cm,frame=on,frameoffset=1cm] This following text ends up inside the frame. \vskip0.25 in\hrule\vskip0.25 in ef[fr] with offset=1cm: The frame is tight to the image, not 1cm away. \externalfigure[cow][width=3cm,frame=on,offset=1cm] This following text ends up just below the image. \vskip0.25 in\hrule\vskip0.25 in ef[fr] with frameoffset=1cm,offset=1cm: This preceding text ends up inside the frame. \externalfigure[cow][width=3cm,frame=on,frameoffset=1cm,offset=1cm] This following text ends up inside the frame. \stoptext

Suggestions and problems of the manuals
by Gerion Entrup 26 Jan '24

26 Jan '24

Hi, I discovered the manuals in the context distribution. My general way to built the manuals were these steps: ``` # execute one time git clone https://github.com/contextgarden/context.git cd context/doc/context/sources/general/manuals/ # for every manual cd $MANUALFOLDER context $MAIN_MANUAL_FILE.tex ``` Is there a way to speed this up, so to build all manuals with one command (some make file or shell script for example)? I saw some problems within the manuals: - In units/units-mkiv.tex the spacing seems not to work with current LMTX. See the attached screenshot (units-mkiv.png) for my rendering. In my understanding the spaces should differ. - I changed some typos(?) and other stuff in that file. The patch is attached (0001-units-mkiv-improve.patch). - math/math-mkiv.tex seems not to compile.

\starttable questions
by Jim 26 Jan '24

26 Jan '24

Hi, I was wondering if anyone here could help me with these three things: For a long time I have been using Wichura's TaBle macros (i.e., what one gets with \input table in plain TeX) and would like to use what appears to be ConTeXt's version of those (i.e., what one gets with \starttable ... \stoptable). However, https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/starttable says The environment \starttable ... \stoptable is and (sic) old and nearly obsolete way to handle tabular material Q1: are there plans to remove \starttable ... \endtable from ConTeXt any time "soon", or is that wiki comment gratuitously pessimistic? In a recent answer on this list, Mikael helped someone by pointing out the \HF[...] command. The \HF command is not listed in the \starttable wiki page. Q2: Is \HF[] documented anywhere? If so, can someone point me to that/those document(s)? Perhaps an answer to Q2 will answer this one too, but in case it doesn't... When using Wichura's \BeginTable ... \EndTable macros, I occasionally use the \\+nm feature to add n points above the current line and/or m points below the current line. Q3: Does ConTexT's \starttable ... \endtable have this feature? If so, how does one access this feature? Thanks. Jim

Caching Metafun images and VIM Syntax highlighted code
by Shiv Shankar Dayal 24 Jan '24

24 Jan '24

I am writing two books. One is on Rust programming and another is on geometry, so I have syntax highlighted code and in second has lost of diagrams. Perhaps Aditya Mahajan can tell me how can I cache code snippets. Invoking VIM will have heavy penalty on highlighting the code otherwise. Other than that, how can I cache Metafun images so that they are not recomputed on every processing of file. -- Respect, Shiv Shankar Dayal

Hi all, not a complaint, just a question (for Hans and Wolfgang, I guess): in recent versions of lmtx, Greek named characters (constructs such as \greekdasiatonos) don't work any more. Which means I have to adapt some of my older macros. Is this an oversight or did they get axed? All best Thomas

cont-new.mkiv and \everymathematics
by Rogers, Michael K 21 Jan '24

21 Jan '24

Hi all, In writing class notes, I frequently make one-letter macros for formatted symbols, such \v and \w for vectors. Generally speaking, one-letter names for function/macros/variables is frowned upon in programming, but I find this localized use very convenient. In cont-new.mkiv, one finds definitions of \t and \w (via \let) appended to \everymathematics, which overwrites my definition of \w every time TeX enters math mode. I can fix this by appending my definition to \everymathematics. The inefficiency seems minor, and I can live with it. I have a question and a couple of points: 1. Is there a better way than adding the definition to \everymathematics? 2. I don’t think these definitions should be in ConTeXt. Let users add them if they wish. Or add a ‘useshortcuts’ option to \setupmathematics. 3. \t and \w are undocumented, \mathword is undocumented, and it took me a while to track down the bug it created for me. In particular, they overwrote my definition only in math mode, and “\show\w” did not work in math mode. Frustrating. I could add a wikipage, I suppose, but I’m not proud of the extent of my knowledge: “\mathword{word} typesets “word” in math mode in a normal text font, somewhat like \text{word}, and \w is an abbreviation of it that is added to \everymathematics on startup.” Thank you very much, Michael

LuaMetaTeX code
by Shiv Shankar Dayal 19 Jan '24

19 Jan '24

Dear Hans, I saw the C code of LuaMetaTeX and I saw a lot of gotos which is not good coding practice. These potions of code which have goto should be refactored. I am a C programmer, but I know very little of TeX. If you can point me towards where should I start for TeX(perhaps TeX Book or TeX for the Impatient), I can help with refactoring of code to make is more efficient/easier. -- Respect, Shiv Shankar Dayal

scaling tweaked fonts
by Pablo Rodriguez 18 Jan '24

18 Jan '24

Hi Hans, I have the following sample which behaves differently after latest from 2023.09.26 18:19: \definetweakedfont[wider][xscale=1075] \starttext \startTEXpage[align=center] \contextversion\\ \wider \contextversion \stopTEXpage \stoptext Up to that version, no scaling was 1000, after that one no scaling became 1. This should be the reason behind my previous issue about too large sizes in the first latest from 2024 (https://mailman.ntg.nl/archives/list/ntg-context@ntg.nl/thread/JVB7AWJE53NW…) I just want to confirm that this change was intended.

How to Create Asymmetrical Continuous Columns in ConTeXt?
by seyal.zavira＠gmail.com 18 Jan '24

18 Jan '24

Hi all, I have a lengthy text that I wish to seamlessly incorporate using the \input{mytext} command in ConTeXt. Additionally, I aim to present it in asymmetrical continuous columns, where the text flows over several pages. I have tried paragraphs and columns, but in paragraphs, I can't flow text across several pages without manually breaking it, and in columns, I haven't found a way to implement asymmetric columns. How can I achieve this layout in ConTeXt? this is a MWE but it does not work properly: \definecolumnset[mymixedcolumn][n=2] \setupcolumnset[mymixedcolumn:1][width=4cm] \setupcolumnset[mymixedcolumn:2][width=7cm] \starttext \startcolumnset[mymixedcolumn] \dorecurse{5}{ \input{knuth} } \stopcolumnset \stoptext also is there a mechanism to automatically continue text between desired frames? For example, is there a way to write a function that, if the text reaches the end of the line and there is not enough space for another line in that frame, it continues the text in another frame that is already specified? in other word How do you make text flow to another part of a page? Thanks in advance. Best regards, Seyal

How to obtain older versions of LMTX?
by Otared Kavian 18 Jan '24

18 Jan '24

Hi all, In order to circumvent a bug in the latest versions (2023-09-26 and 2024-01-08) of LMTX regarding math alignments, I am trying to get an older version of LMTX (from before September 2023) for MacOS ARM. Does any one know how to proceed? Thanks in advance. Best regards: Otared

Re: Math alignment issue

Hi Mikael, I installed anew the latest version and I get still the same bizarre result with math alignment. Please can someone on the list typeset the following in order to see whether the result is correct or not ? %begin 240117-1-bis.tex \definemathsimplealign[alignedcases] [left={\startmathfenced[cases]}, right=\stopmathfenced, align={1:right,2:left,3:left}, strut=yes] \setupformula [location=left] \starttext \samplefile{knuthmath} \startplaceformula \startformula \startalignedcases \NC u'(t) - \nabla \cdot (a(x)\nabla u) + Vu \NC = 0 \NC \mtext{bla bla bla} \NR \NC u(x,0) \NC = u_0(x) \NC \mtext{bla bla} \NR \NC u(t,\sigma) \NC = 0 \NC \mtext{bla bla bla bla} \NR \stopalignedcases \stopformula \stopplaceformula \samplefile{knuthmath} \startplaceformula \startformula \startalign[location=packed,n=2,m=2,align={1:right,2:left},fences=cases] \NC u'(t) - \nabla \cdot (a(x)\nabla u) + Vu \NC = 0 \NC \NC \mtext{bla bla bla} \NR \NC u(x,0) \NC = u_0(x) \NC \NC \mtext{bla bla} \NR \NC u(t,\sigma) \NC = 0 \NC \NC \mtext{bla bla bla bla} \NR \stopalign \stopformula \stopplaceformula \samplefile{knuthmath} \stoptext % end 240117-1-bis.tex Thanks in advance: Otared > On 17 Jan 2024, at 12:09, Mikael Sundqvist <mickep(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > Could your installation be broken? > > /Mikael > > Den ons 17 jan. 2024 11:41Otared Kavian <otared(a)gmail.com <mailto:otared@gmail.com>> skrev: > Hi Mikael, > > Actually it seems that the math alignment stuff has been broken even in version 2023-09-26, since I get also something incorrect, as you can see in the attached PDF. > > Many thanks for your help: Otared > > > >> On 17 Jan 2024, at 11:06, Mikael Sundqvist <mickep(a)gmail.com <mailto:mickep@gmail.com>> wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >> Then there was a problem with the last update.

issue with fonts in current latest (2024.01.08 11:23)
by Pablo Rodriguez 16 Jan '24

16 Jan '24

Dear list, I have the following sample: \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][TeX Gyre Pagella] \definefontfamily[coverface][rm][TeX Gyre Termes] \setupbodyfont[mainface, 16pt] \starttext \startmakeup[standard][style=\bf] \switchtobodyfont[coverface] This is a cover. \stopmakeup This is text. \stoptext Compiling the sample with current latest (2024.01.08 11:23), LMTX puts Latin Modern Roman (no bold) and MkIV puts Termes (no bold). The results with previous latest (2023.09.26 18:19), cover is in Termes bold with LMTX and in Termes regular with MkIV. I guess there might be an issue here. Could anyone confirm this? Many thanks for your help, Pablo

Looking for itemize help
by Jim 16 Jan '24

16 Jan '24

I have \setupwhitespace [big] so that I get "a blank line" between paragraphs. I would like to *not* have "blank lines" before and after my items. For example, if there is more "paragraph text" after the last item I would like to see this structure: ------------------------------------------------------------------ Some text preceding the list of items: a. Item one. b. Second item. This sentence is part of the same paragraph. The next paragraph starts here... ------------------------------------------------------------------ and if there is no "paragraph text" after the last item, I'd like to see this structure: ------------------------------------------------------------------ Some text preceding the list of items: a. Item one. b. Second item. The next paragraph starts here... ------------------------------------------------------------------ Try as I might, I can't find the right options to give to \startitemize. The closest I have found is to start with \startitemize[a,nowhite] but that prevents the "blank line" even in the second case above, which is not what I want. Further, 'packed' and 'joinedup' seem to behave identically here, both leaving "a blank line" before the first item and after the last item. Clearly, I can force a blank line before the following paragraph with a \vskip<the right amount>, but that seems like a crude way to do it. Can someone either enlighten me on either (a) the Right ConTeXt Way to do this, or (b) a document that would tell me this, if I knew to read it? I've looked in the wiki, the not-so-short intro to ConTeXt, and "ConTeXt: an excursion" with no luck. Thanks. Jim
