How to place text, but make it completely hidden from viewers?
by Joel 10 May '24

10 May '24

I have found a few situations is confusing/breaking ConTeXt: - Footnotes inside tables, figures, frames, margins (won't render the cited item). - Custom index items inside those items (displays "entry not flushed"). My workaround has been to define a size 0 font \tfz, then put it in a block like this: {\tfz% \starteffect[hidden]% \cite[author1912] \stopeffect% }% The problem this seems to create, is sometimes if placed between two passages, it interprets a need to create two paragraph breaks: \input knuth {\tfz% \starteffect[hidden]% \cite[author1912] \stopeffect% }% \input knuth It creates a paragraph break after the first knuth, then another after the hidden text, thereby creating a "double spaced" break between two paragraphs. Note the above code is used in many macros, so I don't have full control always where it appears, but its making the double-spaced break everywhere. Is there either (1) something can enter before this code that essentially has the effect of "backup to the previous paragraph" or (2) some other method of hiding text that makes it present on the page, but just not visible to the reader, that won't create a double spaced break, or take up any space what-so-ever? --Joel

Re: intercolumn pull quotes typesetting
by Garulfo 08 May '24

08 May '24

Hi all, I am happy to share one way to get "pull quotes between two columns" (in a three columns layout). https://wiki.contextgarden.net/images/5/50/context_3columns_layout.pdf It's not based on Columns / ColumnSet / Page Columns. It just combines \startuseMPgraphic + build_parshape + \framed + \getshapetext (and several precautions regarding offsets, thicknesses, spacings, dimensions, box positioning...) It's not used in this case, but I discovered that \placelocalfootnotes and \reference \at \in etc... are fully functional with \getshapetext :-) The resulting layout isn't as complex as a newspaper, but a lot can be done (at the cost of some investment, but really, it's not that hard). LuaMetaTeX is definitely fun and pretty. Thanks devs and community. =====> One question <===== Would it be possible to define several shapetex like \startshapetex[NAME1], \startshapetex[NAME2], in order to alternate the use of \getshapetext[NAME1] and \getshapetext[NAME2] because currently only one can be active at a time ?

You’re invited to our regular online meet-up, this upcoming Wednesday, May 8th, 19:00 CEST (UTC+2!) 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’m hoping to hear about BachoTeX (have fun, everyone who’s there)! 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.

more register questions!
by Thomas A. Schmitz 08 May '24

08 May '24

Hi, making wonderful progress on my registers and translating from xml. There is one thing I can't figure out (and I or some other good soul may have asked in the past...). Is it possible to mark occurrences in footnotes? Ideally, the entry in the register would look like p. 100\high{20} to show that the term occurs in note 20 on p. 100. But if that's asking too much, I would be content with applying a processor (say, italic) to these register entries. From the looks of the tuc file, Context doesn't appear to "know" that a register entry is within a footnote. But Hans never ceases to amaze me, so maybe there is a way (short of applying special markup to these notes in the source)? All best Thomas

I would like to use a transparent version of an existing color. Thus \definecolor[transparentcolor][color,t=0.2,a=1] instead of \definecolor[transparentcolor][r=..,g=..,b=..,t=0.2,a=1] because I do not know the rgb values of the color that must be made transparent, only its name.

The items inside {} should be bold, then there is a gap before the next text. I am using this to display a simple timeline. Though the formatting looks perfect, very strangely when I compile it, it changes all of the dates to say "1540" (or whatever date was used first).

How to stop ConTeXt from thinking period is at the end of a sentence?
by Joel 05 May '24

05 May '24

I noticed that some code is being rendered wrong, most especially apparent in a column environment where sometimes the text can get stretched a bit more to fit the column width nicer. If a sentence says "They appeared between c. 1200 BCE and c. 1500 CE." it appears ConTeXt thinks that the period in "c." marks the end of a sentence. As such, when setting the text, sometimes it will give a large space between "c." and "1200 BCE". How do I correctly tell ConTeXt that that period doesn't mark the end of a sentence, so shouldn't be given extra space afterwards? --Joel

\par and \startlines

Hi, I'm trying to typeset a poem from XML, but I can't figure out how to make the inbetween key working here.

Font switching for titles and subtitle not working as expected ?

Hi, I just jumbled upon this question on tex stackexchange : https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/715799/context-switching-font-for-b… Using the style key as suggested in the accepted answer works, but I've had a look in to this, and I don't understand why the original code does not work. I've also tried to find a solution using textcommand instead of command, but that makes no difference. Only one setting will be accepted. As soon as both, titles and subjects, are changed only the first change will be accepted. Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

Re: QR Code
by Benjamin Buchmuller 29 Apr '24

29 Apr '24

Catching up on an earlier thread by Ursula and Hraban, I'm also experienceing problems with \usemodule[zint] while \usemodule[t-zint] works fine. Running on macOS (ConTeXt ver: 2024.04.01 08:59 LMTX fmt: 2024.4.28). The issue seems somewhat unrelated to ConTeXt on first glance (??) if this is helpful. My code stopped working after I updated the OS (to Sonoma) and my homebrew cellar (to zint 2.13.0) while keeping a ConTeXt version from 2022 which compiled the barcodes perfectly fine before these updates. This being said, the newer ConTeXt version doesn't resolve the issue. Observations: 1) Zint (and Inkscape) is in my PATH and correctly sym-linked as specified in the wiki (~/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/lib/luametatex/zint/libzint.so <http://libzint.so/>). However, the library was (still) not fount after mtxrun --generate [This seems an odd, but unrelated problem] 2) So, I hardcoded libfile in libs-impzint.lmt to local libfile = "/usr/local/Cellar/zint/2.13.0/lib/libzint.dylib" 3) Running the wiki example: \usemodule[m-zint] \starttext \barcode[alternative=isbnx, text=9783865419026, width=4cm] \barcode[alternative=qrcode, text={https://wiki.contextgarden.net}, width=3cm] \barcode[alternative=maxicode, text={test}, width=3cm] \stoptext * With \usemodule[m-zint], I correctly get: zint --barcode=qrcode --output="zint-qrcode-495165e08dbc5ce650aaaf13caa2229f.eps" --input="zint-qrcode-495165e08dbc5ce650aaaf13caa2229f.tmp" zint --barcode=maxicode --output="zint-maxicode-098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6.eps" --input="zint-maxicode-098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6.tmp" [Barcodes show up as expected] * With \usemodule[zint], no success: optional > using library '/usr/local/Cellar/zint/2.13.0/lib/libzint.dylib' zint > something went wrong: invalid result vector zint > something went wrong: invalid result zint > something went wrong: invalid result vector Maybe this is helpful to pinpoint the issue?

Define a new command that inherits from multiple other command options

hi! I'm new to ConTeXt. I want to define a command with sidenote function.

Dear list, I have the following sample: \starttext \def\MyCommand{\doquadruplegroupempty\doMyCommand} \def\doMyCommand#1#2#3#4{% \iffourthargument #4% \orelse\ifthirdargument #3% \else #2% \fi} \MyCommand{}{second}{third}{fourth},\\ \MyCommand{}{second}{third}{fourth} e,\\ \MyCommand{}{second}{third},\\ \MyCommand{}{second}{third} e,\\ \MyCommand{}{second},\\ \MyCommand{}{second} e,\\ \stoptext I don‘t know why only the command gets the space after right only when the four arguments are provided. What is wrong in my definition above? Many thanks for your help, Pablo
