Customising referencing failures (\in, etc)
by Robin.Kirkham＠csiro.au 27 Mar '15

27 Mar '15

Folks, Is there a way to customise the ?? that is substituted in the output when a reference does not work out (nonexistent reference label, etc)? I’d like to make it more obvious for proofreading (like making it red, putting a marker in the margin, or something). Cheers, Robin \starttext \input tufte Bad reference \in[missing]. \input tufte \stoptext

beta
by Hans Hagen 26 Mar '15

26 Mar '15

Hi, I uploaded a beta (for luatex 0.80) that has some changes in low level interfaces. Hopefully there are no side effects but there are they can be sorted out fast. I tested the code on projects and manuals so it should not be too bad. Depending on how complex your setup up is, there can be a speed gain of some 5% compared to previous versions.

Bug with ligatures (EBGaramond) and \mainlanguage[es]
by Andrés Conrado 26 Mar '15

26 Mar '15

Hello, list. When I try to use the EBGaramond font (http://www.georgduffner.at/ebgaramond/) in spanish (using \mainlanguage[es]), ligatures disappear. But they only disappear when they belong to a word (when alone, they look fine). See MWE, if you remove the comment in the \mainlanguage command, ligatures get screwed up: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % remove the comment below to see the effect on ligatures. %\mainlanguage[es] \loadtypescriptfile[ebgaramond] \setupbodyfont[ebgaramond,48pt] \starttext flagrantemente y figurativamente ff fl fi ffi ffl ffii figura ffla fflego \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Thanks for any ideas you may have, I'm clueless, and really need to use those ligatures. I can edit whatever needs to be edited, but I can't find any ideas in the source, nor the mailing list.

slanting an intermezzo.
by John Culleton 26 Mar '15

26 Mar '15

I am redoing a book originally done in InDesign and the prior typesetter took delight in using every trick in the book. I can match all of them in context except one. He creates little sidebars and sometimes he leans them to the left by a few degrees. Here is an example of one such sidebar. How do I cause it to lean to the left about 3 degrees? -------------------------------------- \starttext \setupframed[background=screen,framecorner=rectangular,backgroundscreen=0.70] \placeintermezzo[right,none]{} \startframedtext[width=3in] \centerline {\bf RECIPE FOR SUCCESS} ------------------------------------------------ \noindent \input knuth.tex \stopframedtext \input knuth.tex \input knuth.tex \input knuth.tex \stoptext ------------------------------ I know I am supposed to use \rotate but I can't figure out how to rotate an intermezzo.

Hi, I uploaded a beta. This is the last one that works with luatex < 0.80 but the good news is that the contextgarden has 0.80. I will start moving in some new code now so if you don't want any risks you need to snapshot your context tree.

Is there a way to completely remove all auxiliary and resulting files?
by Norbert Melzer 24 Mar '15

24 Mar '15

Is there a way to completely delete all files, that were created during a context run? Similar to the `-c`/`-C` options in `latexmk`? I could create a script using bat/sh but I would prefer to not have to maintain 2 cleanscripts for the different environments that are used to create the document.

How to "code" the file name? (BTW: I'm aware that # in file names is not recommended. But files with # mean "final" among all files I (and others) are working on, so keeping # in the file name (like a flag) is really desirable.) Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

about installation instructions in the wiki
by Pablo Rodriguez 22 Mar '15

22 Mar '15

Dear list, composing an explanation about ConTeXt, I came to the name of the distrubtion. I think it is “ConTeXt Suite” (I would also capitalize the first letter from the second word). If I’m not wrong, the wiki article that offers installation instructions has the title “ConTeXt Standalone”. I wonder whether it would be better to move “ConTeXt Standalone” to “ConTeXt Suite” (and also subpages) and redirect all pages to the new destinations. Otherwise, we can’t prevent that people call the “ConTeXt Suite” “ConTeXt Standalone” instead. (I know it isn’t a question of forcing anyone, but of diseminating a newer name :-).)

define macros only visible in a definestartstop-block that have arguments?
