itemize
by Hans Hagen 15 Aug '23

15 Aug '23

Hi, There has been some additions to itemize wrt columns. One problem with columns is that we have a 'cross page' and 'balancing' situation. The existing columns features has been improved a bit. That leaves the problem that mixing single and multi columns is not really tex's strong point. So, when Mikael and I were looking at one of his documents that mixes a lot of math into itemized situations, a different variant was made (ok, there was another reason but that's a bit technical). At that time, I had already adapted itemize to work a bit better with bTABLE and starttabulate (nesting, trial mode etc), think of \bTABLE \bTR \bTD \startitemize[a] \startitem \im{\sqrt{\frac{1}{x^4}}} \stopitem \startitem \startitemize[n] \startitem \im{\sqrt{\frac{1}{x^4}}} \stopitem \startitem \im{\sqrt{\frac{1}{x^4}}} \stopitem \stopitemize \stopitem \startitem \im{\sqrt{\frac{1}{x^4}}} \stopitem \stopitemize \eTD \eTR \eTABLE or with tabulate \startitemize[n] \starttabulate[||k2|] \NC \startitem test \stopitem \NC \startitem test \stopitem \NC \NR \NC \startitem test \stopitem \NC \startitem test \stopitem \NC \NR \stoptabulate \stopitemize so basically inside these tables items can be dealt with. Don't wonder too much how this translates into structure. So, back the columns, a logical next step was to add tabulated columns to itemize: \startitemizetable[n,four] \dorecurse{10}{ \startitem \im{\sqrt{\frac{1}{x^4}}} \stopitem \startitem \im{\sqrt{x^5}} \stopitem \startitem \im{\frac{x^5}{x^5}} \stopitem } \stopitemizetable or with \defineitemgroup[xxxx] because every itemgroup also gets an additional pair of commands defined. \startxxxxtable[n,four][inbetween={\blank[big]}] \dorecurse{10}{ \startitem \im{\sqrt{1/x}} \stopitem \startitem \im{\sqrt{\frac{2}{x}}} \stopitem \startitem \im{\frac{3}{x}} \stopitem } \startitem \im{\sqrt{\frac{1}{x^4}}} \stopitem \startitem \im{\sqrt{x^5}} \stopitem \stopxxxxtable etc etc. The distance can be set with columndistance and vertical spacing with inbetween. This kind of columnizing has the advantage that esp with math that has different heights all aligns rather well. A limitation is that we number horizontally but that actually makes sense when we cross pages (I might cook up a transposed numbering but it's not entirely trivial). The first one who uses this other than Mikael is invited to wikify it. Hans ps. The page columns also have some improvements but that's for next month. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Very strange error:
by Xavier B. 15 Aug '23

15 Aug '23

After I run context (LMTX version) to my document (attached) I get this error: tex error > tex error on line 540 in file ./dev.tex: The file ended when scanning an argument. I don't know how to start... Can anyone help me? Thanks, Xavier PS: I receive this error after upgrading to MKIV to LMTX. Before with MKIV I get no errors.

split align in formulas
by Xavier B. 14 Aug '23

14 Aug '23

I have this text and the end of the paragraph: Definitivament és el mètode més senzill. L'atribució més antiga que conec d'aquest mètode és de James Tanton \cite{canvi-variable-equacio-segon-grau, james-tanton-web}. \placeformula[eq:james-tanton-canvi-de-variables] \startformula \startalign \NC ax^2 + bx + c = 0 \NC \NR \NC ax^2 + bx = -c \NC \quad \text{transposem } c\NR \NC x^2 + \frac{b}{a} x = - \frac{c}{a} \NC \quad \text{dividim per }a\NR \NC x \left( x + \frac{b}{a} \right) = - \frac{c}{a} \NC \quad \text{factoritzam} \NR \NC (k-D)(k+D) = - \frac{c}{a} \NC \quad \text{canvi de variable} \NR \NC k^2 - D^2 = - \frac{c}{a} \NC \quad \text{suma per diferència} \NR \NC k = \pm\sqrt{ D^2 - \frac{c}{a}} \NC \quad \text{resolem l'equació} \NR \NC x = k - D = \NC \pm \sqrt{ D^2 - \frac{c}{a}} - D\quad \text{desfeim el canvi} \NR \stopalign \stopformula on $D = (\frac{b}{2a})$ i $x = k-D$. and then the formula goes to next page. Is there any way to split align environment? In wiki I could not find nothing. Thanks in advance,

Why overbar is so big
by Xavier B. 14 Aug '23

14 Aug '23

If you run \starttext Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum. $\overbar{OA} = 4,2$ \stoptext Then the overbar has the bar in a very long altitude. Can you please, see the output attached.

Nested aligns in formulasjj
by Gerion Entrup 14 Aug '23

14 Aug '23

Hi, I try to typeset a nested align in a formula. However, the results looks really wrong. Here is a MWE: ``` \starttext \startformula \startalign \NC a = \NC (b, c) \quad \text{with}\NR \NC \NC \startalign \NC b \NC = something \NR \NC c \NC = someother \NR \stopalign \NR \NC somelong = \NC bla \NR \stopalign \stopformula \stoptext ``` Am I doing something wrong or are nested aligns not possible? Best, Gerion

Pass string into text background graphic
by Thangalin 13 Aug '23

13 Aug '23

Hi list, I'm attempting to make a stylized border around paragraphs that can span pages. The border runs along the side and the top. (Ideally the top border wouldn't repeat, but that's a minor issue.) The issue I'm having is that the title for the text doesn't always appear. Instead, there's a small gap along the top border where the title should be. Am I going about this the wrong way? % SOT \startbuffer[demo] <html> <body> <div class="concurrent" data-title="Berth 5" data-location="San Diego"> Text Goes Here </div> <div class="concurrent" data-title="Road" data-location="Beale AFB"> Different Text Goes Here </div> </body> </html>\stopbuffer \startxmlsetups xml:xhtml \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{*}{-} \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{html|body}{xml:*} \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{div}{xml:*}\stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:xhtml} \startxmlsetups xml:html \xmlflush{#1}\stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:body \xmlflush{#1}\stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:div \setvariable{div}{\xmlatt{#1}{class}}{#1} \start[\xmlatt{#1}{class}]\xmlflush{#1}\stop\stopxmlsetups \startusableMPgraphic{GraphicConcurrent} begingroup; string legend; picture title; picture border; picture bg; numeric tw; numeric th; legend := \MPstring{concurrent}; title := nullpicture; border := nullpicture; bg := textext( "\strut " & legend ); tw := xpart lrcorner bg - xpart llcorner bg; th := ypart ulcorner bg - ypart llcorner bg; addto title also image( fill unitsquare xysized (tw + 8, th) shifted ulcorner multipars[1] shifted 28 right shifted 8 down withcolor white; draw textext.drt( legend ) shifted ulcorner multipars[1] shifted 32 right shifted 3 down; ); addto border also image( for i = 1 upto nofmultipars: draw llcorner multipars[i] -- ulcorner multipars[i] shifted 8 down .. ulcorner multipars[i] shifted 8 right -- urcorner multipars[i] withpen pencircle scaled 0.75 withcolor black; endfor; ); draw image( draw border; draw title; ); endgroup;\stopusableMPgraphic \definetextbackground[TextConcurrentFrame][ mp=GraphicConcurrent, frame=off, topoffset=1em, leftoffset=1em, location=paragraph, ] \definestartstop[concurrent][ before={% \blank[big]% LEGEND: \xmlatt{\getvariable{div}{concurrent}}{data-title}% \blank[big]% \setMPtext{concurrent}{\xmlatt{\getvariable{div}{concurrent}}{data-title}} \startTextConcurrentFrame}, after={\stopTextConcurrentFrame\blank[big]}, ] \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{demo}{}\stoptext % EOT If I change the following line: legend := \MPstring{concurrent}; to: legend := "some string"; Then the title "some string" is repeated. It seems like the value for \MPstring{concurrent} is being cached in some situations and ignored in others. Essentially, I'm trying to visually offset multiple paragraphs using a left-hand vertical rule along with a top horizontal rule that has a title. Each new "concurrent" section needs its own header that doesn't repeat. Is there a ConTeXt-way to accomplish this feat? Cheers!
