setupregister with realpage?
by Benjamin Buchmuller 24 Sep '22

24 Sep '22

Dear list, \setuplist has the convenient option [pagenumber=realpage] \setupregister has not (yet). How can I get the realpagenumber instead of the userpagenumber for the register indices? I tried \def\MyPageCommand#1{\realpagenumber} \setupregister[MyIndex][pagecommand=\MyPageCommand] but this prints only the current (although real) page number. Thank you! Benjamin

Dear List! I do not know how to solve this issue. I want the formulas appear on same height, as you can se on the attachment the formula containing a fraction displaces on another vertical position compared to the other equations. How do I correct this? Code snippet pasted from garden \starttext \startitemize[a,columns,three] \item $ 56 + 2 \cdot 3 $ \item $ 5-(7) $ \item $ \frac{21}{7} $ \stopitemize \stoptext Thanks in advance Jan-Erik

OT: Hubert Lampo
by Henning Hraban Ramm 22 Sep '22

22 Sep '22

Hi, we (Dreiviertelhaus publishers) are considering to publish a German translation of some works of Flemish author Hubert Lampo. At the moment we need a copy of “De geheime Academie” (and maybe other works). If you have this at home and don’t need it anymore, we’d be glad to receive it (and pay for shipping, of course). Should have asked before the meeting... Yes, we know (online) used book shops, you don’t need to point us to those. Thanks in advance, Hraban for Verlag Dreiviertelhaus

cannot update ConTeXt to 2022.09.16
by Pablo Rodriguez 21 Sep '22

21 Sep '22

Dear list, after updating to latest from 2022.09.11 20:44 (altough LMTX was tagged as 20220918), I’m afraid I cannot update ConTeXt to 2022.09.16 (current latest according to https://www.pragma-ade.com/download-1.htm) This happens to me with both Windows and Linux (both 64bit). I guess this might be related to the issue with certificates and domains. Could anyone confirm the issue? Many thanks for your help, Pablo

ConTeXt news in the Fediverse
by Henning Hraban Ramm 20 Sep '22

20 Sep '22

At the meeting we talked about raising visibility for ConTeXt and the context group. I created a Mastodon account for context group and will use it to share news and interesting stuff related to ConTeXt: https://fosstodon.org/@context (i.e. @context@fosstodon.org) Never heard about Mastodon? It’s an alternative to company-owned microblogging services like Twitter and an important part of the Fediverse, where you can interact with other federated (decentral) services like Friendica, PeerTube, FunkWhale etc. You can use it with a bunch of different apps (e.g. Tusky) or via web interfaces. In that, it’s similar to Email: You choose a server of your liking and can subscribe to and communicate with users on other servers, while most of them have some focus (e.g. regional, political, interests). See also e.g. https://joinmastodon.org Please tell me if you post something somewhere that I could toot (share; Mastodons don’t tweet). Hraban (@fiee@literatur.social)

ConTeXt meeting and the annotated cow
by Axel Kielhorn 18 Sep '22

18 Sep '22

Hello, last week I learned something about MetaPost at the context meeting. Thanks Taco! First a little background: I write a lot of documentation and sometimes I need to include a picture with annotations. Until now I used a drawing program to add text and arrows. This has one disadvantage, these annotations are not translated. I have to prepare a set of pictures for every language. Well, that changed last week. Here is my first try (actually the 4th iteration): %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \setupexternalfigures[location=default] \starttext \startMPinclusions %draft := 0; draft := 1; color mycolor; if draft = 1 : mycolor := red ; else: mycolor := .4white ; fi ; % Draw a grid to count locations def gridscaled = pair ur; ur = urcorner currentpicture; width := xpart ur; height := ypart ur; xstep := ceiling(width / 10); ystep := ceiling(height / 10); if draft = 1: counter := 1; for i = xstep step xstep until width : draw (i, 0 ) -- (i, height); label.rt(counter, (i , 0.5 cm)); counter := counter + 1 ; endfor; counter := 1; for i = ystep step ystep until height : draw (0, i) -- (width, i); label.top(counter, (0.5 cm, i )); counter := counter + 1 ; endfor; fi; enddef; % Bottom: The annotation is at the bottom of the start point def annotb (expr a, b, c, d) (text t) = label.bot (t, (a * xstep, b * ystep)); drawarrow (a * xstep, b * ystep) -- ( c * xstep, d * ystep) withpen pencircle scaled .8mm withcolor white; drawarrow (a * xstep, b * ystep) -- ( c * xstep, d * ystep) withpen pencircle scaled .5mm withcolor mycolor; enddef ; % Top: The annotation is on top of the start point def annott (expr a, b, c, d) (text t) = label.top (t, (a * xstep, b * ystep)); drawarrow (a * xstep, b * ystep) -- ( c * xstep, d * ystep) withpen pencircle scaled .8mm withcolor white; drawarrow (a * xstep, b * ystep) -- ( c * xstep, d * ystep) withpen pencircle scaled .5mm withcolor mycolor; enddef ; % Right: The annotation is on the right of the start point def annotr (expr a, b, c, d) (text t) = label.rt (t, (a * xstep, b * ystep)); drawarrow (a * xstep, b * ystep) -- ( c * xstep, d * ystep) withpen pencircle scaled .8mm withcolor white; drawarrow (a * xstep, b * ystep) -- ( c * xstep, d * ystep) withpen pencircle scaled .5mm withcolor mycolor; enddef ; % Left: The annotation is on the left of the start point def annotl (expr a, b, c, d) (text t) = label.lft (t, (a * xstep, b * ystep)); drawarrow (a * xstep, b * ystep) -- ( c * xstep, d * ystep) withpen pencircle scaled .8mm withcolor white; drawarrow (a * xstep, b * ystep) -- ( c * xstep, d * ystep) withpen pencircle scaled .5mm withcolor mycolor; enddef ; \stopMPinclusions \startMPpage % Picture draw externalfigure "cow.pdf" xsized 16cm; % Grid gridscaled; % Text annotb (1, 5, .8, 7.3, "Maul"); annotb (6, 2, 7, 3.2, "Euter"); annott (9.2, 9.5, 9.6, 3, "Schwanz"); annotb (3, -.5, 3.1, .9, "Huf"); annotb (3, -.5, 3.9, 1.1, ""); \stopMPpage \startMPpage % Picture draw externalfigure "cow.pdf" xsized 10cm; % Grid gridscaled; % Text annotb (1, 5, .8, 7.3, "Maul"); annotb (6, 2, 7, 3.2, "Euter"); annott (9.2, 9.5, 9.6, 3, "Schwanz"); annotb (3, -.5, 3.1, .9, "Huf"); annotb (3, -.5, 3.9, 1.1, ""); \stopMPpage \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% There are still some further ideas and a lot to learn for me: - multi line annotations - a transparent white background - a frame around the text - a link to the section where the part is explained - moving to one command with the orientation as an argument Comments and improvements are welcome.
