Reinserting a section title followed by (continued) after a page break
by Calvin Ross 04 Sep '23

04 Sep '23

I'm trying to use ConTeXt for playwriting, and I think it would be best to use sections for dialog. However, if a dialog's text is interrupted by a page break, it is customary to restate the character name followed by (continued) on the following page: --- open --- John My name is John, and I seek help with my --- page break --- John (cont'd) typesetting needs... --- end --- Maybe what I need is instead a mark? Here's a catch though, I will also need this to work for simultaneous dialog as well. This kind of dialog is represented by having dialog sections in columns: --- open --- Alice Bob John, you fool. John, you imbecile. --- page break --- Alice (cont'd) Don't you know that everyone uses Word to typeset their plays? --- end --- How can I do this kind of thing in ConTeXt? At the moment, I've been looking into adding a hook to shipout to prepend a section header with the last custom mark I've set. Even still, I don't know if this would work, or how to go about achieving this. If columns would be too difficult to implement, I'd be fine with living without (continued) support in them since they are pretty rare.

(feature proposal) link to attachments: /GoToE
by Pablo Rodriguez 03 Sep '23

03 Sep '23

Hi Hans, having attachments in PDF is very useful, but the vast majority of people don’t know how to handle them (even with the attachment pane displayed when Acrobat opens the document, or with file annotation). It would be really useful to have a link with destination that it would open the embedded document (when clicked). Since in its basic functionality, this is very similar to links to external documents (GoToR), I wonder whether it would be possible to implement links to embedded documents (GoToE, https://opensource.adobe.com/dc-acrobat-sdk-docs/pdfstandards/PDF32000_2008…) At least to begin with, only links to embedded children documents would be required. If this GoToR is generated by ConTeXt from "\goto{whatever}[destination-doc::page(15)]": 17 0 obj << /D [ 14 /Fit ] /F (destination-doc.pdf) /NewWindow true /S /GoToR >> endobj A GoToE destination for "\attachment[file=destination-doc.pdf, method=hidden]" would read: 1 0 obj << /S /GoToE /D [ 14 /Fit ] /NewWindow true /T << /R /C /N (destination-doc.pdf) >> >> endobj With EmbeddedFiles, the F entry from GoToR is a target dictionary (T key) in GoToE. The T dictionary contains the relation (R key) to the destination file (only C, child, needed) and the name (N) from EmbeddedFiles/Names for the attachment. This is the most basic implementation that allows to link to an attachment. What the spec describes as “a complete facility for linking between a file in a hierarchy of nested embedded files and another file in the same or different hierarchy” is probably unnecesarily complex (even to use). With file annotations, instead of the name from EmbeddedFiles/Names in the target dictionary, it requires the keys P and A (as numbers or strings). P gives the page number which contains the file annotation: zero-based as number, or named destination as string. A gives the annotation: zero-based index of the annotation in the Annots array, or NM entry value from the annotation object. As for the interface, it would be great that GoToR links could be converted automatically in "\goto{some text}[file::page(number)]" for attached files. This basic implementation of GoToE links would be extremely helpful to access embedded documents (believe it or not, this is something I explain almost every week at work). I would be happy to provide the code to implement this, but I’m afraid this is way beyond my knowledge. Many thanks for your help, Pablo

list of modules: need changes/testing/response
by Henning Hraban Ramm 03 Sep '23

03 Sep '23

Hi all, esp. module authors! I went through the list of modules on https://modules.contextgarden.net/ (dl/) and the list that controls module installation for “--script install-modules". I removed all font-related modules from the list (not yet from the garden), since they’re probably all obsolete & outdated. Consider publishing typescripts in the wiki. The following modules don’t adhere to the necessary structure and need changes: * t-handlecsv (2023, Pablo) * metaducks (2021, Jairo) * presvoz (2023, Pablo) All of them have a name directory on top of the TDS (tex, doc). If you used a git checkout URL, please try again, for me it worked today. Several modules need testing if they still work and make sense. If their authors are present, I’d appreciate a comment if we should keep them. I’d like to delete at least everything older than 10 years. * grph-downsample.lua (2019) is known to fail in current LMTX (I hope for an integrated solution during the meeting.) t-degrade (2018) is AFAIK an older version of it – delete? * high (2018) and pret-c (2018) are syntax highlighters. Are they better than the vim and scite modules? Does it make sense to keep/update them? * karnaugh (2021, VicSanRoPe; probably OK, I just don’t understand it) * t-account (2009, Wolfgang) * t-algorithmic (2013, Wolfgang) * t-animation (2013, Wolfgang) * t-annotation (2013, Wolfgang) * t-bnf (2006, Now) * t-chromato (2008, Peter) * t-construction-plan (2008, Peter) * t-crossref (2016, Zenlima) * t-cyrillicnumbers (2016, Philipp) * t-fancybreak (2015, Wolfgang) * t-french (2011, Peter) * t-fullpage (2017, Wolfgang) * t-gantt (2012, Adam) * t-gm (2015, Luigi) * t-gnuplot (2013, Mojca) * t-greek (2013, Thomas – is this more than fonts?) * t-gs (2015, Luigi) * t-inifile (2008, Peter) * t-layout (2007, Patrick) * t-letterspace (2016, Philipp) * t-mathsets (2011, Aditya) * t-rst (2016, Philipp) * t-rsteps (2006, David) * t-simplebib (2016, Zenlima) * t-taspresent (2008, Thomas – AFAIK an old version of simpleslides) * t-title (2017, Wolfgang) * t-transliterator (2021, Philipp) * t-typearea (2008, Peter) * t-visualcounter (2018, Aditya, isn’t there a newer version?) Modules not mentioned are probably fine. Hraban

Hi, beloved list. Since sources are in the distribution, I've tried compiling luametatex by setting LMT_STRIP in CMakeLists.txt to 0, yet the resulting binary still warns about undefined symbols, such as lua_gettop, when an external library is loaded in Lua. Any ideas on how to solve it? Thank you in advance. Best regards, Jairo

slanted font feature: LMTX vs. MkIV
by Pablo Rodriguez 02 Sep '23

02 Sep '23

Dear list, I have the following sample (using current latest from 2023.08.27 13:48): \setupinteractionscreen[option=max] \definefontfamily[maf][rm][DejaVu Sans] [sl={style:tf, features:{default,slanted}}] \setupbodyfont[maf, 8pt] \setupfittingpage[offset=1ex] \starttext \startTEXpage a {\em b} \stopTEXpage \startTEXpage[foregroundstyle={\setupbodyfont[100pt]}] a {\em b} \stopTEXpage \stoptext Using LMTX higher font size gives less slanted text (or not at all). Using MkIV text is slanted fine, independent from font size. Could anyone confirm the issue? Many thanks for your help, Pablo

TeX in Czech?
by Henning Hraban Ramm 30 Aug '23

30 Aug '23

Hi, a friend just asked for a LaTeX book in Czech to give a PhD student for their birthday. According to https://www.cstug.cz/informace/literatura/, there are only outdated TeX books in Czech. Is that true? Looking at the CSTUG page, I wondered why our ConTeXt meeting isn’t listed in https://www.cstug.cz/informace/zpravy/ (While TUG 2023 in Bonn is listed, BachoTeX 2023 also isn’t.) Sad.

XML: Correct usage of hash symbol in url
by denis.maier＠unibe.ch 27 Aug '23

27 Aug '23

Hi, I need to process URLs in XML documents differently depending on the target. Thanks to Hans and Thomas I can now deal with the attributes. Now I need to prefix certain kind of targets with a certain URL (a web viewer for IIIF images in this particular case). The prefix contains a #, which, as a special character seems to cause an error. Adding a double hash seems to work, but those ## will end up in the link URL. How can I properly escape a single #? I've already tried using \Ux{23}, but that won't work either.

Fallbacks for design sizes in the current typescripts regime
by Hamid,Idris 23 Aug '23

23 Aug '23

Dear gang, Design sizes for typefaces -- aka "optical sizes" -- are no longer directly implemented in typescripts. From the manual Fonts out of ConTeXt by Hans Hagen, p. 109: "at some point the decision was made to kick out these definitions and move the burden of figuring out the right size to Lua." (Thus some large typescript collections painstakingly built over the years are now obsolete and have to be rewritten. Oh well..) But there is an issue in the new regime: In the old system, every typescript mapping to a font within a design-size range could have its own fallback. For example: % Small ="small point size" % Regular = "regular point size" % Bigger = "bigger point size" % Biggest = "biggest point size" \definefontsynonym [MyRomanRegular] [file:MyFont-Regular.ttf] [features=<features>,fallbacks=<fallback1>] \definefontsynonym [MyRomanSmall] [file:MyFont-Small.ttf] [features=<features>,fallbacks=<fallback2>] \definefontsynonym [MyRomanBigger] [file:MyFont-Bigger.ttf] [features=<features>,fallbacks=<fallback3>] \definefontsynonym [MyRomanBiggest] [file:MyFont-Biggest.ttf] [features=<features>,fallbacks=<fallback4>] In the new typescripts regime we keep one font from the design-size range in the typescript file; the rest of the optical sizes go into an lfg goodies file: \definefontsynonym [MyRomanRegular] \loadfontgoodies[myfonts-opticalsizes] % other three fonts go into an lfg table [file:MyFont-Regular.ttf] [features=<features>,fallbacks=<fallback1>] designsizes = { ["MyRomanRegular"] = { ["7pt"] = "file:MyFont-Small", ["8pt"] = "file:MyFont-Small", ["9pt"] = "file:MyFont-Regular", ["10pt"] = "file:MyFont-Regular", ["11pt"] = "file:MyFont-Regular", ["12pt"] = "file:MyFont-Bigger", ["14pt"] = "file:MyFont-Bigger", ["17pt"] = "file:MyFont-Biggest", ["21pt"] = "file:MyFont-Biggest", default = "file:MyFont-Regular", }, But there is an apparent drawback to this new way of doing things: It appears that only the default font can have an explicit fallback, and there appears that there is no straightforward way to map each of the other design sizes to its own fallback. If there is indeed no way to map each non-default design size to a fallback, then that constitutes a significant/unfortunate loss of functionality in the user interface. If this appearance of a loss reflects the reality of the situation, would like to kindly request that the original functionality be restored to the higher-level user interface, presumably within the lfg file. So perhaps something like a keyval fallbacks = { ["MyRomanRegular"] = { "file:MyFont-Small" = "fallbacks=<fallback2>", "file:MyFont-Regular", = "fallbacks=<fallback1>", "file:MyFont-Bigger", = "fallbacks=<fallback3>", "file:MyFont-Biggest", = "fallbacks=<fallback4>", }, On the other hand, if access to the former functionality is still there somewhere in the user interface, would like to humbly request that someone share where it is and how to use it! Thank you kindly for consideration of this request. Best wishes Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

I have been using the following macro to add a bunch of sections to the start of chapters in a book, it works but I think is kind of weak: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \define[7]\metadatos{ \startsection[title={Resumen}] #1 \stopsection \startsection[title={Palabras clave}] #2 \stopsection \start \language[en] \startsection[title={Abstract}] #3 \stopsection \startsection[title={Keywords}] #4 \stopsection \stop \startsection[title={¿Cómo citar este capítulo? / How to cite this book?}] \startsubsection[title={Apa}] #5 \stopsubsection \startsubsection[title={Chicago}] #6 \stopsubsection \startsubsection[title={MLA}] #7 \stopsubsection \stopsection } \starttext % Then I call the macro like this: \metadatos{spanish abstract \input knuth}{some, comma, separated, keywords, in, spanish}{english abstract \input knuth}{same, comma, separated, keywords, in, english}{Apa citation style for this article}{Chicago citation style for this article}{MLA citation style for this article} \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% I've been exploring different ways to do it better, but with not much luck, I was thinking something based in key=value assignments? setups? datasets? Not really sure, but If you know a better solution or point me in the direction of something I can use to replace that macro, it would be greatly 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.
