Does the return of "wdpart positionwhd" is the width of the box ?
by garulfo＠azules.eu 01 Feb '25

Hi, the metafun function positionwidth doesn't seems to be available, so I triy to use wdpart positionwhd. But in the MVE, the green point is not at the expected position (on the right border of the frame). %%%%%%%%%%%%% \setupheadertexts[] \setuppapersize[A8,landscape] \setupbodyfont[40pt] \startuseMPgraphic{MPMyPage} StartPage ; draw positionbox("locA") withpen pencircle scaled 5pt withcolor transparent(1,0.5,blue); pair ThePoint; ThePoint := positionxy("locA"); draw ThePoint withpen pencircle scaled 5pt withcolor red ; draw ThePoint shifted (wdpart positionwhd("locA"),0) withpen pencircle scaled 5pt withcolor green ; StopPage ; \stopuseMPgraphic \defineoverlay [OLMyPage] [\useMPgraphic{MPMyPage}] \setupbackgrounds [page] [background={foreground,OLMyPage}] \starttext A \framed [region=locA, offset=overlay, frame=off] {\TeX}. \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%

Hi, sorry for the potentially puzzling title. I try to figure out why \setuplayout[grid=yes] seems to insert a line break in a short formula.

How to load external lua library
by krulis.tomas＠seznam.cz 25 Jan '25

25 Jan '25

Dear ConTeXt mailing list, I've been struggling with loading the sqlite external lua library. I tried the following: 1. Instaling the system package and running ConTeXt with the `--permitloadlib` option (I am running Manjaro, an arch-linux derivative: https://archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/sqlite/) 2. Installing the luarocks package (https://luarocks.org/modules/dougcurrie/lsqlite3) for the 5.1, 5.3 and 5.4 lua versions. I also tried to symlink the files in $HOME/.luarocks/lib/lua/{version}/lsqlite3.so to the project directory 3. I tried also setting the relevant lua paths with `eval $(luarocks path)`. The compilation always fails with an error that context can't locate the sqlite3 library. How can I load data from sqlite database during context compilation? As an MWE, I am adding the example in the documentation for the interaction with sqlite from the context garden (https://www.pragma-ade.nl/general/manuals/sql-mkiv.pdf) ```tex \starttext \startluacode require("util-sql") utilities.sql.setmethod("sqlite") require("util-sql-loggers") local loggers = utilities.sql.loggers local presets = { -- method = "sqlite", database = "loggertest", datatable = "loggers", id = "loggers", } os.remove("loggertest.db") -- start fresh local db = loggers.createdb(presets) loggers.save(db, { -- variant 1: data subtable type = "error", action = "process", data = { filename = "test-1", message = "whatever a" } } ) loggers.save(db, { -- variant 2: flat table type = "warning", action = "process", filename = "test-2", message = "whatever b" } ) local result = loggers.collect(db, { start = { day = 1, month = 1, year = 2016, }, stop = { day = 31, month = 12, year = 2116, }, limit = 1000000, -- type = "error", action = "process" }) context.starttabulate { "||||||" } for i=1,#result do local r = result[i] context.NC() context(r.time) context.NC() context(r.type) context.NC() context(r.action) if r.data then context.NC() context(r.data.filename) context.NC() context(r.data.message) else context.NC() context.NC() end context.NC() context.NR() end context.stoptabulate() -- local result = loggers.cleanup(db, { -- before = { -- day = 1, -- month = 1, -- year = 2117, -- }, -- }) \stopluacode \stoptext ``` I am sorry for the poor quality of the example, but I don't know how to add an attachment to a message in a mailing list. I have found a few references on the web and on this mailing list (https://mailman.ntg.nl/archives/list/ntg-context@ntg.nl/message/IDZBJQIXG3J…) but I wasn't able to figure out what I could be doing wrong. I found a reference that the issue might be a version mismatch, so I tested multiple lua versions. My project is about using multiple data sources in multiple formats and creating reports from them. I know I will definitely need to load YAML as well (with the `lyaml` luarocks package I guess). There's always the alternative of trying to use other programs to get the data, but I was wondering if I could leverage ConTeXt to do that directly. Thank you for any guidance on this, and I hope this message is not too long ...

Decreasing size of the section number according to its level

Hi, in setuphead, I try to get a decreasing size of the section number according to its level with \defineconversion and \definestructureconversionset.

wiki update
by garulfo＠azules.eu 19 Jan '25

19 Jan '25

Hi all, for your information, many significant changes have been done on the wiki pages and their structure. Many pages are now nested by theme to make it easier for new ConTeXt users to navigate (by giving them a better overview of the material available on a given subject) and for wiki users to identify duplicates and old content. Of course, there are still “duplicates”, “aging content” and “unclear tutorials”, but the changes are significant and should be noted here. - Summary of changes - https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Talk:Main_Page#January_2025.2C_improving_wik… - Before / After illustrations - https://wiki.contextgarden.net/User:Garulfoo#January_2025_Wiki_before_.2F_a… Hoping that these improvements will compensate for the disruption to your habits and the inconveniences of recent weeks.

New module to typeset Pandoc JSON files (as XML) in ConTeXt
by mf 18 Jan '25

18 Jan '25

Hello, I just uploaded a module for ConTeXt to typeset Pandoc JSON files (as XML) with ConTeXt. You can find it here: https://github.com/massifrg/t-pandocxml I made a script to create a t-pandocxml-YYYY-MM-DD.zip file (see the devhelpers directory). But I don't know how to install it, starting from the zip file. This is what I did: - cd [context_installation_dir]/tex/texmf-context - unzip .../t-pandocxml-YYYY-MM-DD.zip - rm LICENSE README.md VERSION - mtxrun --generate It works, but I'm sure there's a better way to install it.

defining macros
by Henning Hraban Ramm 14 Jan '25

14 Jan '25

Hi, I just recognized that I’m not sure how to define a macro with optional and mandatory arguments the best way. E.g. (oldfashioned) \def\doMyMacro[#1]#2% {Do something ... \iffirstargument #1\fi #2} \def\MyMacro% {\dosingleargument\doMyMacro} Is this still the way to do it? Does it also work with \define? I have more questions like that: From Wolfgang’s presentation (article in progress…) I know all the cool stuff for modules (namespaces, setup helpers…), I also know the Lua way of interface.implement, but how to combine those? When should I use brackets or other characters in a definition, when not? Which docs should I read? Hraban

Weird date output
by autumnus 14 Jan '25

14 Jan '25

hi, When I try to output the Chinese date with the command below, I find that it doesn't process the month at all. No matter how I try any of the "month,month:cn-a,month:cn-c,month:cn-d" conversions Unless I pre-set the labeltext for the Chinese month. %%%% \definedfont[name:adobesongstdlight] \currentdate[year:cn-d,年,month:cn-a,day:cn,号] %output : 二〇二五年January 十一号 \setuplabeltext [en][january={一月},] \currentdate[year:cn-d,年,month:cn-a,day:cn,号] %output : 二〇二五年一月十一号 %%%% If so, then when should I use those conversion method ? (At present, the output of "month:cn-d" is only suitable for the year, not the month and day. Its naming is somewhat misleading) What's more, there seems to be a strange space here between the month and the day. It should output 二〇二五年一月十一号 instead 二〇二五年一月十一号 autumnus

Apparently, the PDF engines of Firefox and Chrome support enough JavaScript to play Doom (in 6 grayscales): https://github.com/ading2210/doompdf or (much easier) Tetris: https://github.com/ThomasRinsma/pdftris That might mean we could check support for presentations fetures (OCGs?) again. “C code can be compiled to run within a PDF using and old version of Emscripten that targets asm.js instead of WebAssembly.” Hraban

Spacing between Chapter title and first paragraph sometimes changes
by Keith McKay 13 Jan '25

13 Jan '25

H, I'm typesetting a memoir for a friend and I've come across a strange problem which I'm trying to solve. The memoir will be A5 format and has quite a few chapters which are less than a page long. I noticed that for some chapters the distance between the the chapter head and the first paragraph were not aligned in double page view. You can see this quite clearly in the attached screenshot. I was given a docx file consisting of 80 chapters and and appendices which I converted to individual xhtml files. The resulting xhtml files are very simple and the format is as follows: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" href="../styles/style001.css" type="text/css" /> <title></title> </head> <body> <h2 id="heading_id_no>Chapter Number</h2> <p>Some text</p> <p>Some text</p> <p>And so on...</p> </body> </html> In some of the xhtml files I have added <div>...</div> for layout purposes and also inserted images. I use xmlsetups to typeset the tags as follows: \startxmlsetups xml:html \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:body \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:h2 \page \chapter{\xmlflush{#1}} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:p \xmlflush{#1}\par \stopxmlsetups along with a few others for divs, images and some other tags. For the chapters setup I use: \setuphead[chapter][page=no, number=no, header=empty, align=middle, after={\blank[3cm]}] I would expect that using this \setuphead, there should be a gap of three cm between the head text and the first paragraph, however in a few chapters this does not happen and an extra blank line is either added or subtracted to the gap. I'm obviously missing something simple and struggling to find a solution to correct this problem so I would be grateful for any hints on how to go about it. Best Wishes Keith McKay

Hi, In plain TeX, $$\smash{\sum_0^n}$$ is set in \displaystyle, just like $$\smash{\sum_0^n}$$ However, ConTeXt \starttext $$\smash{\sum^0_n}$$ \stoptext outputs the above in \textstyle, whereas \starttext $$\sum^0_n$$ \stoptext is in (of course(?)) \displaystyle. Is this difference intentional? Thanks. Jim

The 30th GUST TeX conference - call for papers ***TeX in education*** The jubilee, thirtieth BachoTeX conference is dedicated to using TeX in and for education. Though TeX is known and used in Poland at academia, especially in STEM, for more than thirty years it still is a niche tool at lower levels of education. The aim of this year’s conference is to look at how TeX may be used to support education processes in different contexts: pupils at various levels, teachers, authors of curricula, school management or persons less obvious in this context such as carers of special interest groups and others involved in school’s life. Those who contribute to education processes should be able to see the value of and potential offered by the TeX system – be it for preparing teaching materials or creating tools to support everyday school activities – TeX’s advantages over other software systems or packages should be obvious. Authors are invited to submit papers not only directly on the conference theme, we encourage you also to relate to the 30th BachoTeX jubilee. We look forward to receiving inspirations and hearing of your experiences as impulses for further research and developments. * Papers/presentations Of course we also look forward to the normal mix of TeX, Metafont / Metapost (please, do not forget the fonts!), ConTeXt, LaTeX, and friends related presentations. We also do upkeep the BachoTeX trend in which we try to bring together programmers and designers of typographic systems, typographers and other users of such systems. The normal channel of offering papers is the emailing of proposals to the Program Committee, but before rushing off to the mailer, please consult the info for authors at https://bachotex.gust.org.pl/2025/auth_en.html. * Workshops and tutorials We look forward to proposals for TeX-related tutorials or introductions. If you have suggestions for tutorials or workshops by others than yourself or about specific topics, please let us know. * Poster sessions As always at BachoTeX participants will be given the opportunity to present their TeX and typographic results in the form of posters for which we provide exhibition space. * Deadlines and addresses The deadline for “regular” abstracts and other proposals is March 31th 2025. The deadline for final versions to appear in the conference materials is April 14th. Contributions should be sent by email using the address prog-2025(a)gust.org.pl.
