issues scaling glyphs of Twemoji Mozilla
by Pablo Rodriguez 04 Mar '24

04 Mar '24

Dear list, I have the following sample: \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][TeX Gyre Termes] \definefontfamily[mainface][cg][Twemoji Mozilla][features={color}] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext \scale[width=30em]{a} \scale[width=30em]{\cg 🇬🇧} \stoptext Using current latest from both MkIV and LMTX, I cannot scale the emoji flag. Latest font release can be directly download from https://github.com/mozilla/twemoji-colr/releases/latest/download/Twemoji.Mo…. Am I missing something to scale the glyph properly? Many thanks for your help, Pablo

enhancing documentation: initials
by Henning Hraban Ramm 04 Mar '24

Hi, I tried to figure out what the "method" parameter of \setupinitial does – it changes the handling of quotation marks at the beginning of the text. It’s defined in context/base/mkiv/typo-drp.lua But I found no difference between first, last, and none; just "auto" includes the mark in the initial, and it works only with a few languages, e.g. English and French, but not e.g. German or Dutch: """ \mainlanguage[de] \setuppapersize[A6] \setupinitial[n=2,color=orange,] \starttext \start \setupinitial[method=first] \placeinitial \quotation{Keine andere Kunst hat mehr Berechtigung, ihren Blick auf die zukünftigen Jahrhunderte zu richten als die Typographie.}\wordright{Giambattista Bodoni} \stop \start \setupinitial[method=last] \placeinitial \quotation{Nationalökonomie ist, wenn die Leute sich wundern, warum sie kein Geld haben.}\wordright{Kurt Tucholsky} \stop \start \setupinitial[method=auto] \placeinitial \quotation{Der Mensch wird auf natürlichem Wege hergestellt, doch empfindet er dies als unnatürlich und spricht nicht gern davon.}\wordright{Kurt Tucholsky} \stop \start \setupinitial[method=none] \placeinitial \quotation{Keine andere Kunst hat mehr Berechtigung, ihren Blick auf die zukünftigen Jahrhunderte zu richten als die Typographie.}\wordright{Giambattista Bodoni} \stop \stoptext """

Wiki page : Mixed languages sample (French, Ancient Greek, Arabic, Chinese)
by Jean-Pierre Delange 01 Mar '24

01 Mar '24

Dear List, Several years ago I tried to write documents, mainly lectures, but also essays, in which I tried to make several languages (Romance and non-Romance) coexist. Here below is an example of an attempt to compose an acceptable document, in the form of an exercise in which Arabic and Chinese are introduced into a document written in French. With footnotes and a few framed lines. I submit this example for your perusal and ask you whether it could possibly appear on a wiki page devoted to the combination of non-European languages in the same text. In English translation, of course. %We are giving below an example of a text written in a Latin language, in which we want to print here and there some text in ancient Greek, Arabic and Chinese. \setuplanguage[fr][patterns={fr,agr}] \mainlanguage[fr] \setuplayout [backspace=40mm] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided, location={header, inmargin}] \setupmargindata[inmargin][location=inner, style={\ssx\setupinterlinespace[line=2.8ex]}] \setupmarginframed[inmargin][align=right] \setupbodyfontenvironment[default][em=italic] % Use Theano Didot as Ancient Greek font \definefallbackfamily[mainface][serif][Theano Didot][preset=range:greek, it={Old Standard Italic}, force=yes] % Choose between Ipaexmincho font and NotoSansTC (Traditional Chinese) %\definefallbackfamily [mainface] [rm] [ipaexmincho] [range=cjkunifiedideographs] \definefallbackfamily [mainface] [rm] [notosanstc] [range=cjkunifiedideographs] % Choose between two Arabic fonts %\definefallbackfamily[mainface] [serif] [nafeesnastaleeq] [range=arabic] \definefallbackfamily[mainface] [serif] [hussaininastaleeq] [range=arabic] \definefontfamily [mainface] [serif] [GaramondNo8][sc=NewG8 Regular SC] \definefontfamily [mainface] [sans] [FreeSans] [rscale=0.7] \definefontfamily[mainface] [serif] [GFS Didot] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \setupindenting[1.5em] \setupindenting[yes] \setupcolors[state=start] \defineframedtext [MyFrame] [before={\blank}, after={\blank}, frame=off, background=MyFrame, %width=\textwidth, width=max, height=fit, style=italic] \definelabel [Définition] [headstyle=\bf\smallcaps] \startuseMPgraphic{MyFrame} path b; picture p; %p := textext.rt("\white\Définition"); p := textext.rt("\white\framedtextparameter{Title}"); %p := textext.rt("\white\getvariable{text}{text1}"); p := p shifted (2BodyFontSize,OverlayHeight-ypart center p+.25ExHeight); b := boundingbox p leftenlarged .5EmWidth rightenlarged .5EmWidth; fill OverlayBox withcolor lightgray; %\MPcolor{ fill b withcolor darkred; draw bottomboundary OverlayBox withpen pencircle scaled 1pt withcolor darkred; draw topboundary OverlayBox withpen pencircle scaled 1pt withcolor darkred; draw p; setbounds currentpicture to boundingbox currentpicture enlarged 2mm; \stopuseMPgraphic \defineoverlay [MyFrame] [\useMPgraphic{MyFrame}] \setupwhitespace[medium] \setupinterlinespace[line=3.2ex] \setupitemize[each][margin=yes] \setuphead[title][header=empty] \setupheader[style={\sc}] \setupfooter[style={\itxx}] \setupheadertexts[Utilisation de plusieurs langues dans un même texte avec \ConTeXt][][][{\getmarking[section]}] \setupfootertexts[][][][© J.-P.

Les suites logicielles comme Microsoft Office ou LibreOffice ne manquent pas de puissance, mais à vrai dire, dès que nous entrons dans les exigences de l'édition professionnelle, qui consistent à présenter un texte lisible et enrichi (en notes, etc.), la situation devient vite techniquement assez pénible. La situation la plus courante que nous rencontrons dans les Lettres, en Philosophie, en Histoire, et plus généralement dans les Humanités, est celle d'un texte dans lequel il y a des citations d'auteurs grecs ou latin, avec des références en notes de bas de page, qui contiennent du grec. Cela pourrait être quelque chose comme ceci : \blank\startnarrower[1*left,1*right]\tfx\setupinterlinespace \noindent \quotation{Ἔφη γάρ οἱ Σωκράτη ἐντυχεῖν λελουμένον τε καὶ τὰς βλαύτας ὑποδεδεμένον, ἃ ἐκεῖνος ὀλιγάκις ἐποίει· καὶ ἐρέσθαι αὐτὸν ὅποι ἴοι οὕτω καλὸς γεγενημένος. καὶ τὸν εἰπεῖν ὅτι· Ἐπὶ δεῖπνον εἰς Ἀγάθωνος. χθὲς γὰρ αὐτὸν διέφυγον τοῖς ἐπινικίοις, φοβηθεὶς τὸν ὄχλον· ὡμολόγησα δ᾽ εἰς τήμερον παρέσεσθαι. ταῦτα δὴ ἐκαλλωπισάμην, ἵνα καλὸς παρὰ καλὸν ἴω}. \noindent \quotation{Je rencontrai, dit-il, Socrate, sortant du bain et les pieds chaussés de sandales, ce qui n'est guère dans ses habitudes, et je lui demandai où il allait si beau. Il me répondit : «Je vais dîner chez Agathon.

Cependant, l'utilisation de ce logiciel repose sur un ensemble assez important de déclarations et il est nécessaire d'avoir une longue pratique pour arriver à jouer avec, sinon la puissance, du moins la finesse de \LaTeX. Les commandes sont très nombreuses et il faut recourir souvent à un Manuel pour se remémorer les subtilités qui ont permis d'atteindre tel rendu à l'impression. Bien entendu, il existe des logiciels commerciaux d'aide à l'édition professionnelle pour le secteur des Humanités. Mais d'une part ils sont payants et relativement coûteux pour une personne, sans parler du prix des licences pour les groupements professionnels d'enseignants et de chercheurs. Devant cet état de choses, on peut se tourner vers \ConTeXt, qui n'est pas une alternative à \LaTeX, mais une manière plus synthétique (voire plus élégante) d'utiliser \LaTeX. \ConTeXt, de même que \LaTeX, est une suite logicielle qui contient les macros de \LaTeX, les routines du langage {\em Perl}, ainsi que les macros de \LuaTeX. On peut donc définir à peu près tout ce qui est exigé au niveau de l'édition professionnelle, sans entrer dans la connaissance technique du langage \LaTeX. Bien entendu, on n'échappera pas à un certain nombre de questions techniques, si l'on veut travailler avec ce type d'outil : pour le mathématicien, rendre possible la présentation et l'édition parfaites d'équations complexes, mais aussi de schémas et de tableaux nécessite un apprentissage assez poussé. C'est vrai aussi pour les les utilisateurs qui viennent des Humanités, qui connaissent leur domaine, et qui veulent rédiger un document simple, un article de revue, voir des chapitres entiers d'un ouvrage. Très certainement, ce sont les éditeurs qui se chargent de la mise en page (sur la base d'une feuille de style Word) du document que l'on veut publier. Mais parfois, s'il s'agit d'un dossier de plusieurs articles, voire d'une édition avec une aide financière à la publication, on aimerait avoir la main sur la qualité du document imprimé. C'est une des raisons qui font que l'on pourrait désirer maîtriser la chaîne éditoriale, non seulement pour se passer éventuellement d'un éditeur, mais pour disposer d'un aperçu de son propre travail. \section{Faire coexister du Grec, du Chinois et de l'Arabe dans le même texte} Il n'est pas d'usage commun de lire dans le même document du texte courant en français, une référence en grec, par exemple, lorsque dans le {\em Timée}, Platon indique que le plus difficile est de commencer par un commencement qui soit naturel (κατὰ φύσιν ἀρχήν)\inmargin{Platon, {\em Timée}, 29b.}, une indication du nom du philosophe chinois {\em Tchouang Tseu} (en {\em pinyin}\footnote{Le {\em pinyin} (chinois classique 漢語拼音, littéralement “assembler les sons de la langue des Han”), est une romanisation de la langue chinoise, qui est écrite en alphabet latin. Ainsi, au lieu d'écrire 漢語拼音 en chinois traditionnel, ou bien 汉语拼音 en chinois simplifié, on écrira {\em Hànyù Pīnyīn}.} Zhuangzi et en chinois classique et simplifié : 莊周/庄周). Si l'on ajoute à cela une référence au philosophe arabo-persan Farabi\footnote{Al-Fārābī est nommé dans la philosophie arabe médiévale {\em le second maître}, le premier étant Aristote.} (Al-Fārābī, محمد فارابی), par le biais d'une précision sur Platon, avec des indications sur son nom en arabe, on aura fait le tour de quelques difficultés qui se présentent à ceux qui voudraient établir avec soin des documents un peu exigeants. % \showframe \startMyFrame[Title=Conclusion] \setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation] \startlines Pour éditer un texte un peu complexe, avec plusieurs langues non-romanes utilisées occasionnellement, on peut faire appel à \ConTeXt.

Le code est réutilisable et c'est vrai aussi pour les utilisateurs qui viennent des multiples horizons des {\em Humanités}, qui connaissent leur domaine de compétence et qui veulent rédiger un document simple, un article de revue, voir des chapitres entiers d'un ouvrage. \stoplines \stopMyFrame \stoptext

Dear List, This is my little example: the problem is, that everything was fine, in itemize 1 and 2. In the third itemize i have a problem, because after n^3 and after \Rightarrow there should be a spaace , if I want to write : \Rightarrow n ungerade, but it says nungerade, what I dont want,. \startitemize[n] {\it \item \m{\forall n ∈ \naturalnumbers:n^2 >n\Rightarrow>1,\par}\nospace \par \item \m{\forall n ∈ \naturalnumbers:3\mid n\Rightarrow 4 \mid n,\par} \nospace \par \item \m{\forall n ∈ \naturalnumbers:n^3 ungerade \Rightarrow n ungerade \par} Uschi

Structuring a magazine or booklet
by Jean-Pierre Delange 29 Feb '24

29 Feb '24

Dear list, I am reading up on how to replace InDesign with CTX when producing a newsletter, using 2 or 3 double-sided A3 sheets containing text in two columns per page (with images). I'm looking for an example of a composition structure. Unfortunately, the wiki page devoted to projects seems meagre. The link to an example given by Hans at the bottom of the page: Hans Hagen (2011) Project Structure, ConTeXt magazine #1101 is a dead link. For example, if I take a notebook consisting of 2 A3 sheets, folded to give 8 pages, the first page, which is an odd page, will be printed on the back of sheet 1, as will page 8. Page 2 is printed on the same sheet, but on the front as an even page. However, note that page 3 (odd) is printed (as an odd page, like page 1) on the reverse of sheet 2. Then pages 4 and 5 are printed on the front of sheet 2, while page 6 faces page 3 on the back of sheet 2. Page 7 is on the same front as page 2 (sheet 1) and finally, page 8 faces (on the back of sheet 1) page 1. My question is this: is there a way to automate the placement of text and images on the right pages with ConTeXt, or do you have to organise everything manually with a layout? Does anyone have more detailed information? I'd be delighted to add this information to the Wiki page. Thank you for your help. JP

Dear List, In the Documentation IntroCTX_eng_s.pdf at page 170 , I found the two examples with \in and \at, and also the lable.

The sentence says: Task 1: Formulate equivalents according to rule (3.1): Sorry, I have no example. Uschi

output filename with SHA256

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

Works now! At Work, and a question to paragraphs in an Theorem

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

Strange error at lxml-mms.lmt:749
by Andres Conrado Montoya 25 Feb '24

25 Feb '24

I keep bumping into this error, I have no idea what may be causing it, in a statistics book with lots of math: registered function call [250]: ...mtx/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/lxml-mms.lmt:749: attempt to index a nil value (local 'a2') I have checked everything. I have tried commenting out many things and the weird part is that it fails in a simple math expression: \math{E_{i}j}. Even a simple $y$ or \math{a+b} will trigger the error. 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). I have tried 2 versions, the system-wide one, just upgraded: mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 1.06 mtx-context | current version: 2024.02.22 18:31 And a less recent version, attached to the project: mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 1.05 mtx-context | current version: 2024.02.14 13:38 Any help will be much appreciated. -- 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.

typing with scite module and escape
by Henning Hraban Ramm 24 Feb '24

24 Feb '24

Hi, I’m trying to use escaping in a typing environment. It works until I load the scite module. I need that only for btx highlighting, but I can’t limit it to that. What should I do? \usemodule[scite] \define[1]\SAY{\hfill{\rm #1}} \setuptyping[TEX][ option=tex,% scite sets cld escape=yes, ] \starttext \startTEX \starttext/BTEX\SAY{Text starts here}/ETEX \input tufte \stoptext/BTEX\SAY{Text ends here}/ETEX \stopTEX \stoptext

MetaPost lines in tables?
by Henning Hraban Ramm 22 Feb '24

22 Feb '24

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
