list of used files
by Henning Hraban Ramm 20 Jul '24

20 Jul '24

Hi, is there some mechanism (directive?) that gives me a list of files that were involved in making a PDF? Preferably only those outside of the texmf trees, but I could filter that myself. (With "latexmk -recorder somelatexfile" I get the file list as a .fls file.) My goal is to commit all used images to my git repo, while I often have a big collection of images that I didn’t use in the end and don’t need in the repo. Hraban

expansion and variables
by Henning Hraban Ramm 17 Jul '24

17 Jul '24

Something’s wrong with my code. I’ll try to keep a status to output a certain marker only the first time after a change. With the code below I get it never. I guess it’s an expansion problem again, but I didn’t find the right places for \expanded – if I use it in front of every \getvariable, I get the output every time. Please help… Hraban \setvariable{Thing}{Status}{1} \setvariable{Thing}{PreviousStatus}{0} \define[1]\startThing{ \setvariable{Thing}{PreviousStatus}{\getvariable{Thing}{Status}} \setvariable{Thing}{Status}{#1} <<< % \doifnot{\getvariable{Thing}{Status}}{\getvariable{Thing}{PreviousStatus}}{% \bold{\getvariable{Thing}{Status}}% }% } \def\stopThing{>>>\par} \starttext \startThing{A} a \stopThing \startThing{B} b \stopThing \startThing{A} c \stopThing \startThing{C} d \stopThing \startThing{C} e \stopThing \startThing{A} f \stopThing \startThing{A} g \stopThing \startThing{A} h \stopThing \stoptext

14 Jul '24

Hi all, with the articles by Massimiliano and Willi, we have already more than 40 pages, more would be welcome, but please deliver within the next two weeks (until end of July)! I would appreciate the help of English native speakers for proofreading/editing, you could start immediately with the existing articles. I’m very sorry that I procrastinated for too long, so that we’re now in a hurry to get the journal printed in time for the meeting. Hraban

Quotation mark in drop caps
by Thangalin 11 Jul '24

11 Jul '24

Hi list! I have a three-part question. First, when using \placeinitial, how would you detect whether the first character is a quotation mark, and, if so, override the setupinitial to use m=2? Second, when using m=2 to capture a quotation mark, how would you change the font size of only the quotation mark, leaving the font size for the remaining characters the same? Third, can this be accomplished using setupinitial alone? Such as: \setupinitial[ quotefont=\SmallerFont, quotecolour=\QuoteColour, ] A few typographic examples of what I'd like to accomplish: Re: https://i.ibb.co/7rJYBS6/initial-Matching-Quotes.gif Re: https://i.ibb.co/Hz8v5w4/atlantips-drop-caps-and-quotation-marks-10.png My understanding of what exists in ConTeXt: \starttext \startchapter % This detaches the quotation mark from the paragraph, which looks strange. \placeinitial "We held ConTeXt in high esteem." \stopchapter \startchapter % This looks great. \placeinitial \input knuth \stopchapter \startchapter % I'd like to eliminate this next line. \setupinitial[m=2] % The quotation mark is a drop cap, albeit too big. \placeinitial "We held ConTeXt in high esteem." \stopchapter \startchapter % I'd like to eliminate this next line. \setupinitial[m=1] % The setups are reinitialized, which in theory should not be needed. \placeinitial \input knuth \stopchapter \stoptext Here's how I'd like to typeset the document (using setupinitial alone): \setupinitial[ % When a quotation mark is detected, the given font is applied to it. quotefont=\SmallerFont, % Not necessary, but could be useful to other people? quotecolour=\QuoteColour, ] \starttext \startchapter % The quotation mark gets attached and applies the smaller font size. \placeinitial "We held ConTeXt in high esteem." \stopchapter \startchapter % Only captures the first letter, because no quotation mark is present. \placeinitial \input knuth \stopchapter \stoptext Is this possible? If so, how? Thank you!

table float split behavior
by Henning Hraban Ramm 10 Jul '24

10 Jul '24

Table floats split in odd places, independent of top/page/here location. There’s always a first part, then some not-float text, then the other parts. Even if the table would fit on two pages (with location=page), it always gets split into three. Can I influence this anyhow?

Do you have a subject that you’d like to talk about? 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.

a different, but not zero, blank at the top of a page
by mf 09 Jul '24

09 Jul '24

Hello, I need advice on blanks at the start of a page. Usually a blank is ignored when it's at the top of a page. You can force it with \blank[...,force], but its value is the same as in the remainder of the text. So, if the blank over a heading is 2 lines, forcing it at the top of the page produces 2 empty lines (not exactly, because TeX uses a glue at the top for line alignment, if I remember well). What I need is a non zero blank at the top, to align the following text to the grid. A solution could be checking whether we are at the top of the page, and choose the blank amount accordingly. How can I make such a test? Massi

index sort order (de)
by Henning Hraban Ramm 08 Jul '24

08 Jul '24

Hi, I checked the German index sorting rules, and as far as I can tell, all of them are somewhat wrong. – de, default, or no setting (just mainlanguage de) – Duden - DIN 5007-1(:2005) - DIN 5007-2(:1996) - de-AT IMO, "Duden" is obsolete, should be the same as default; it makes no sense to have a default setting that doesn’t adhere to the official rules. If Û#m not mistaken it’s also the same as DIN 5007-1; maybe there was a difference before 2005. (DIN 5007-2 and de-AT have their uses.) The order of umlauts etc. should be ok. [ß] In tex/context/base/mkiv/sort-lan.lua, ß is replaced by s, while it should be sorted like ss in default and both DIN versions. (de-AT sorts ss after ß.) [upper-/lowercase] While casing is not mentioned in Wikipedia (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alphabetische_Sortierung) Duden „Satz und Korrektur“ says: Uppercase characters get sorted the same as lowercase (i.e. mixed), but if both appear, lowercase comes first. ATM all German settings sort lowercase behind uppercase. Generally, default method seems to be not "default" but "before". Does this make sense? If we look at the method presets, there’s none for {zm,pm,zc,zm,uc} (upper like lower, ignore diacritics – basic default for German). """ \mainlanguage[de] \setupregister[index][language=de] \starttext \index{Apfel} \index{Äpfel} \index{apfel} \index{äpfel} \index{aepfel} \index{Aepfel} \index{Ápfel} \index{ápfel} \page \completeindex \stoptext """ default order should be: aepfel Aepfel apfel Apfel äpfel Äpfel ápfel Ápfel aqua DIN 5007-2 sorts like: aepfel Aepfel äpfel Äpfel apfel Apfel ápfel Ápfel aqua de-AT sorts like: aepfel Aepfel apfel Apfel aqua äpfel Äpfel ápfel Ápfel Hraban

processor for index sub-entry?
by Henning Hraban Ramm 07 Jul '24

07 Jul '24

Hi, is it possible to apply a processor to an index sub-entry? \index{Modules+\type{filter}} looks good, but "filter" is sorted under "type". \defineprocessor[type][style=mono] \index{Modules+type->filter} results in a "Modules / type->filter" entry. \index[Modules+filter]{Modules+\type{filter}} works and looks good, but the code feels bad… Hraban

How to specify a default formatting for TABLE
by Gerion Entrup 02 Jul '24

02 Jul '24

Hi, I want to format a bunch a tables with the same formatting. It seems that specifying the \setupTABLE commands as part of the preamble works. However, I need some tables that are formatted in another way. Is there a generic way to specify this? Here is a MWE: ``` \setupTABLE[frame=off, offset=2pt] \setupTABLE[row][first][topframe=on, bottomframe=on, style=bf] \setupTABLE[row][last][bottomframe=on] \setupTABLE[row][even][background=color,backgroundcolor=red] \setupcolors[state=start] \starttext A table:\\ \bTABLE \bTR \bTD head1 \eTD \bTD head2 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD data1 \eTD \bTD data2 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD data3 \eTD \bTD data4 \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \blank[line] Another table with the same format:\\ \bTABLE \bTR \bTD head1 \eTD \bTD head2 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD data1 \eTD \bTD data2 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD data3 \eTD \bTD data4 \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \blank[line] This table should be formatted in another way (actually not formatted):\\ \bTABLE \setupTABLE[row][each][topframe=off, bottomframe=off, style=, background=] \bTR \bTD head1 \eTD \bTD head2 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD data1 \eTD \bTD data2 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD data3 \eTD \bTD data4 \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \blank[line] This does not work either:\\ { \setupTABLE[row][each][topframe=off, bottomframe=off, style=, background=] % \setupTABLE[row][1,2,3][topframe=off, bottomframe=off, style=, background=] % this deactivates the color at least \bTABLE \bTR \bTD head1 \eTD \bTD head2 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD data1 \eTD \bTD data2 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD data3 \eTD \bTD data4 \eTD \eTR \eTABLE } \stoptext ``` The last two tables should be formatted as if the four setupTABLE commands in the header are not existent. My solution does not work, however. Gerion

Use headcommand in \definedescription together with \definehighlight
by Gerion Entrup 01 Jul '24

01 Jul '24

Hi, I was in the process to convert an itemize part to a description and wanted to simplify the code in the same move. I discovered headcommand for that, but struggled to set the text in an highlight _and_ make a colon at the end. Do you know, if this is possible? Here is a MWE: ``` \definehighlight[hl][style={\m{>}\,\switchtobodyfont[tt]}] \definedescription[category][ alternative=top, headstyle=bold, width=broad, ] \definedescription[desc][ width=broad, distance={\widthofstring{~}}, headcommand={\groupedcommand{\hl}{:}}, % headcommand={\groupedcommand{}{:}}, % this compiles but the highlight is lost % headcommand={\groupedcommand{\starthl}{\stophl :}}, % this does not compile headstyle=, before={\startpacked}, after={\stoppacked}, alternative=hanging, ] \starttext This is a \hl{highlight}. Some listings \startcategory{Itemize} \startitemize[packed] \item \hl{first}: one \item \hl{second}: two \stopitemize \stopcategory Now the same as desc: \startcategory{Desc} \startdesc{first} one \stopdesc \startdesc{second} two \stopdesc \stopcategory \stoptext ``` The itemize looks like it should look (except of the dots). Best, Gerion

No roman numerals in frontmatter header
by jbf 29 Jun '24

29 Jun '24

Perhaps someone can advise me where I am going wrong. I have no trouble getting roman numeral page numbers in the footer text in frontmatter with \startsectionblockenvironment [frontpart] \setupuserpagenumber [numberconversion=romannumerals] \setcounter [userpage] [5] \stopsectionblockenvironment \startsectionblockenvironment [bodypart] \setcounter [userpage] [1] \stopsectionblockenvironment \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided,location={footer,middle}] But if I change to \setuppagenumbering[location= ], and choose, for example: \setupheadertexts [ ] [{\getmarking[chapter]\hskip1em \pagenumber}] [{\pagenumber \hskip1em \documentvariable{metadata:title}}] [ ] I get my header texts with page numbers in arabic numerals in frontmatter. I have tried various \setupheadertexts options, but I still get arabic numerals in frontmatter. The conversion does not work. What am I missing or doing wrong? Julian
