Structure: multi-volume products
by Alan Braslau 18 Dec '22

18 Dec '22

Hello, I have a book project that is being cut into two volumes (because it is too long and will be sold as a boxed set). Each volume is presently a separate *product* in the project structure. I presently set the counters in the second volume using: \setupheadnumber [part] [2] \setupheadnumber [chapter] [5] (I have multiple [5] parts in the project, and the first volume ends with part 2 and chapter 5.) 1) Is this the right way to be handling this? 2) Any suggestions on how I can put a Table of Contents for the first volume in the second volume? Thanks! Alan

\typefile not including file and returning success
by Marco Patzer 17 Dec '22

17 Dec '22

Hi! In the following example the file “bar” is not included: # create file “bar” echo Bar > bar # t.tex \starttext Foo \typefile{bar} \stoptext Then run context --errors='*' t.tex The text “bar” is not included in the PDF, only Foo is. The log file shows: verbatims > file 'bar' does not exist However, the file “bar” clearly does exist. Furthermore, context exits with no error in the log file and a successful exit value: context --errors='*' t.tex > /dev/null; echo $? 0 Is this working as intended? Marco

Definestartstop, Narrower, and Blockquotej
by Michael Urban 17 Dec '22

17 Dec '22

I get a decidedly odd (or, at least, unexpected by me) result from this, based on the example on the contextgarden page for definestartstop: \starttext \defineblank[ExtractDistance][3pt] \definestartstop[Extract][ style=slanted, before={\blank[ExtractDistance] \setupnarrower[left=2in,right=1in] \startnarrower[left,right] \noindent}, after={\stopnarrower \blank[ExtractDistance] \indenting[next]}] %Now the following commands are available: \startExtract and \stopExtract \starttext The extract from Knuth \startExtract \input knuth \stopExtract \stoptext But now, blockquote is altered: \startblockquote \input lorem \stopblockquote But not narrower itself: \startnarrower \input lorem \stopnarrower \stoptext

Project structure with nested subfolders and shared environments.
by Pawel Urbanski 16 Dec '22

16 Dec '22

Dear Everyone, I'm setting up a project structure that will possibly let me share styles and layouts with lots of documents I need to create weekly. Unfortunately my definitions in the environment file or files are ignored... Here is the setup under the purposely created structure: ** The folder called: 'MainFolder' is the root of my document repository. ** The 'Metadata' folder inside the 'MainFolder' contains environment files. ** The 'SubFolder/SubSubFolder' inside the 'MainFolder' is the nestin glevel I need with all the documents. Here are the files: % /MainFolder/Meta.tex \startproject * \usepath [{ Metadata }] \environment Environment.tex \stopproject % /MainFolder/Metadata/Environment.tex \startenvironment * % Test if setup is applied. \setupbodyfont[ebgaramond] \stopenvironment % /MainFolder/SubFolder/SubSubFolder/Doc.tex \startproduct * \project Meta \startcomponent * \startchapter[title={ Nested }] \input tufte \stopchapter \stopcomponent \stopproduct Unfortunately the default font is applied and EB Garamond is not picked up from the environment. The question is: ** How can I use such a structure to share styles and layouts kept i the 'Metadata' folder and use htem in products that are ment to be complete documents kept in the 'SubSubFolders'? All the very best and htank you in advance for any clarifications... Pawel

issues with variable fonts in latest
by Pablo Rodriguez 15 Dec '22

15 Dec '22

Dear Hans, since you mentioned current latest (2022.12.09 16:34) regarding to variable fonts today, I have found the following issues with Recursive (comparing it with https://www.recursive.design/#toolbar) \definefontfeature[serifa] [axis={wght=500}] \definefontfeature[monor] [axis={wght=500,mono=1}] \definefontfeature[handy] [axis={wght=500,mono=1,casl=0.75}] \definefontfeature[cali] [axis={wght=500,crsv=1}] \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][Recursive] [features={default, serifa}] \definefontfamily[mainface][tt][Recursive] [features={default, monor}] \definefontfamily[mainface][hw][Recursive] [features={default, handy}] \definefontfamily[mainface][cg][Recursive] [features={default, cali}] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=1em] \scale[width=\textwidth] {\rm áéíóúijrf} \scale[width=\textwidth] {\tt áéíóúijrf} \scale[width=\textwidth] {\hw áéíóúijrf} \scale[width=\textwidth] {\cg áéíóúijrf} \stopTEXpage \stoptext 'mono=1' misplaces the dot in i and j and the accent in i (all to the left). It also misses bottom lines in i, r and f. And it also misses the upper left stroke in r. 'crsv=1' gives no alternate glyphs. I use Recursive for a project and I discovered the issues. Many thanks for your help, Pablo

\setuplanguage[explicitrighthyphenchar=-1] only works for English
by Pablo Rodriguez 15 Dec '22

15 Dec '22

Hans, sorry for insisting again, but I’m still experiencing this issue in latest current (from less than an hour ago): \startluacode function document.addfunnyhyphen(tfmdata) local underscore = utf.byte("_") local char = tfmdata.characters[underscore] if not char then return end tfmdata.characters[0xFE000] = { width = 0, height = 0, depth = 0, commands = { { "right", -char.width }, { "down", char.depth }, { "slot", 1, underscore }, } } end utilities.sequencers.appendaction("aftercopyingcharacters", "after","document.addfunnyhyphen") \stopluacode \definehyphenationfeatures [underscore] [righthyphenchar="FE000] \setuphyphenation[method=traditional]% \sethyphenationfeatures[underscore]% \setuplanguage [explicitrighthyphenchar=-1] \setupinteractionscreen[option=singlesided] \starttext \doloopoverlist {es,en,uk,de,nl,pt,fr,it,deo,da,sv,af,no,nb,pl,cs,sk,hr,sl,fi,et,hu} {\mainlanguage[\recursestring] \startTEXpage[offset=1em, width=5em] \hsize\zeropoint \recursestring: \\ \tt \hyphenatedword{legibility-legible} \stopTEXpage} \stoptext pt, hr and et don’t break the line at the hyphen. af breaks the line at the hyphen adding an underscore just below the hyphen. Either I’m missing something extremely basic, or "\setuplanguage[explicitrighthyphenchar=-1]" only works for English. Many thanks for your help, Pablo
