Horizontal spacing
by Steffen Wolfrum 21 Nov '22

21 Nov '22

Hi, these line can modify the space between words: \installtolerancemethod {horizontal} {MySpace} {\spaceskip2.75pt plus1.60pt minus1.10pt\relax} \setupalign[line,block]\setfalse\raggedonelinerstate% kein hz=expansion mehr? \setuptolerance[MySpace] But how can I adjust in general the horizontal distance between glyphs (I don't mean \kern, I am looking for a general setup)?

Xml filtering in Lua
by Thomas A. Schmitz 21 Nov '22

21 Nov '22

Hi all, I thought this was easy, but I overestimated my competence… I want to filter xml elements via their attributes and retrieve and typeset parts belonging together. Here is a small test file that explains what I’m trying: \startbuffer[test] <document> <topics> <topic id="test1"> <title>This is the first test</title> <date>22/11/16</date> </topic> <topic id="test2"> <title>This is the second test</title> <date>22/11/17</date> </topic> </topics> <chapters> <chapter id="test1"> <content> This will be the content of the <emph>first</emph> chapter. </content> </chapter> <chapter id="test2"> <content> This will be the content of the <emph>second</emph> chapter. </content> </chapter> </chapters> </document> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups xml:testsetups \xmlsetsetup{#1}{*}{-} \xmlsetsetup{#1}{document|chapters|chapter|content|emph}{xml:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:testsetups} \startxmlsetups xml:document \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:chapters \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:chapter \xmlfunction {#1} {chapter} \xmlflush {#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:chapter:content \xmltext {#1} {content} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:emph {\em \xmlflush {#1}} \stopxmlsetups \startluacode function xml.functions.chapter (t) local ch_id = t.at.id local metadata = xml.filter (root, '../../topics/topic[@id=="%s"]', ch_id) print (inspect(metadata)) lxml.command(t, ".", "xml:chapter:content") context.par () context (ch_id) context.par () end \stopluacode \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{test}{} \stoptext The line with xml.filter does not work as I expected. How can I walk the tree, find the “topic” element with the same “id” attribute as the chapter I’m currently in, and then typeset the different children of the topic element? Thanks a lot and all best Thomas

\setupmathematics oddity
by Alan Bowen 20 Nov '22

20 Nov '22

The following \setupmathematics[autopunctuation={all,semicolon}] %\setupmathematics[autopunctuation={all, semicolon}] %\setupmathematics[autopunctuation={all,semicolon,colon}] \starttext \startformula 0,0;2,0,35,17,40,41\textdegree{} \cdot 365;15 \cdot 40 = 2,9;23,14\textdegree{}. \stopformula \stoptext works as it should (no space after the “;” or the “,”). With the second and third versions of \setupmathematics there is an unwanted space after each punctuation mark. Alan

annotated equations

Here’s an interesting example for annotated equations, done with LaTeX/TikZ: https://mastodon.social/@sibin/109349703357749846 I guess something similar is possible with node anchors in ConTeXt/MetaPost? Hraban

Do environment files add implicit \starttext ... \stopttext
by denis.maier＠unibe.ch 18 Nov '22

18 Nov '22

Hi, if I process an XML buffer, I've noticed I need to wrap the \xmlprocessbuffer in a \starttext ... \stoptext pair. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \startbuffer[test] <?xml version='1.0' standalone='yes?> <document> a paragraph of text another paragraph of text </document> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups xml:demo \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{document|p}{xml:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:demo} \startxmlsetups xml:document \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:p \xmlflush{#1}\endgraf \stopxmlsetups \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{test}{test}{} \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% However, if I have the XML and the setups in dedicated files, there seems to be no need for \starttext ... \stoptext. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% text.xml <?xml version='1.0' standalone='yes?> <document> a paragraph of text another paragraph of text </document> %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% setups.tex \startxmlsetups xml:demo \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{document|p}{xml:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:demo} \startxmlsetups xml:document \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:p \xmlflush{#1}\endgraf \stopxmlsetups %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Running context text.xml -environment=setups.tex gives me a proper PDF without errors. Therefore my question: Does the use -environment automatically wrap the processed file in \starttext ... stoptext ? If not, what's the reason for this behaviour? Am I missing something? Best, Denis

\autoinsertedspace fails following \nbsp under LMTX
by Rik Kabel 17 Nov '22

17 Nov '22

ConTeXt ver: 2022.11.14 22:58 LMTX on W11 x64 I have been testing the recently added \autoinsertedspace, and I found an odd failure. The following compiles with \nbsp commented as shown, but once that line is active, the compilation fails: lua error: callback error: ...MTX/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/font-hsh.lmt:151: table index is nil It fails differently in MkIV (but it is nice to see that the new command has been backported): luatex warning > node filter: error: ...MTX/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/node-nut.lua:380: Attempt to node.direct.remove() a non-existing node %<------------------------------------------------------ \starttexdefinition unexpanded New \dodoublegroupempty \doNew \stoptexdefinition \starttexdefinition doNew #1#2 \removeunwantedspaces \ (#1|–|#2) \autoinsertedspace \stoptexdefinition \starttext ABC 0\New{123}{456} 789 ABC % \nbsp 0\New{123}{456} 789 \stoptext Am I doing something wrong here? \nbsp is needed to prevent improper line breaks. -- Rik

Dear list, I like to use the Iosevka as mono typeface. It worked in the past, but sadly context crashes now with the following error. fatal error: /font-dsp-macro.lua:2336: attempt to index a nil value (local 'sequence') Plese see MWE below.

How to break margin notes across page breaks?
by Joel 16 Nov '22

16 Nov '22

How can I allow margin text to break across the page breaks? I have a document with many \inmargin code. The problem I'm finding is that sometimes I have a lot of items in the margin. I hope this margin details can break across the page and continue onto the next page. The problem is instead it just runs off the print boundaries of the page. See this sample code for an example: \starttext \input knuth \inmargin{\input knuth } \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \stoptext How can I allow margin notes to break across pages instead of running off the page boundaries? --Joel
