Hmmm it seems the trick lies in adding \setupfloats [freeregion=no]

Question about text backgrounds
by Alexandre Christe 03 Sep '22

03 Sep '22

Hi, I just came across nofmultipars (which is great for splitting frames across pages, unlike a simple framed). Is there an equivalent for floats? The MWE would contain \startuseMPgraphic{mp:textFrame} begingroup; path p ; for i = 1 upto nofmultipars : p := (ulcorner multipars[i]) -- (llcorner multipars[i]) -- (llcorner multipars[i] xshifted .25cm) -- (ulcorner multipars[i] xshifted .25cm) -- cycle ; fill p withcolor "darkgreen" ; endfor; endgroup; \stopuseMPgraphic together with \definetextbackground [exampleFrame] [ mp=mp:textFrame, location=paragraph, ] Assuming I have between \starttextbackground[exampleFrame] and \starttextbackground[exampleFrame] also a figure in addition to text paragraphs. Would it be possible to also draw a rule next to it? Best regards, Alex

Is rendering furigana over horizontal or vertical japanese text doable in ConTeXt?

Typesetting furigana over kanji characters is common for japanese educational materials. Is this doable in ConTeXt?

Can't no break between a close punctuation and a open punctuation
by 黄复雄 03 Sep '22

03 Sep '22

I sent this email four days ago and it may not have been delivered? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Hans, I found that ConTeXt injected two infinity penalties between a close punctuation and a open punctuation, for example between `”` and `“`, or between `：` and `“`, so can not break at these places, as showed in following doc. But actually, we may sometimes need to do so. Please note that there is no space around full width punctuations in Chinese document. doc for example: ```lmtx \setscript[hanzi] \usetypescriptfile[mscore] \usebodyfont [mschinese,20pt] \showframe \starttext \dorecurse{5}{“好？！；”“：，。”} % linebreak sutck \dorecurse{30}{“我”} % linebreak sutck \dorecurse{30}{我} % linebreak work \dorecurse{30}{我。} % linebreak work \stoptext ``` What I see between any two consecutive punctuations are <penalty userpenalty> 10000 <glue userskip> 0 0 655500 <penalty userpenalty> 10000 <glue userskip> 0 655500 0 so nowhere to linebreak. Thanks.

How to make a reference go to an exact point of a section on a page?
by amano.kenji 02 Sep '22

02 Sep '22

I just created a reference to a \section with \in. Clicking the \in reference doesn't go to the \section, but to the page that has the \section. Does ConTeXt lack the ability to go to an exact point of a numbered element on a page?

Hebrew punctuation with SBL Hebrew
by denis.maier＠unibe.ch 31 Aug '22

31 Aug '22

Hi, I’m running into something weird with Hebrew punctuation. Consider the example below. SBL Hebrew gives me incorrect results when there’s a vaw with a holam = וֹ just before a chet with a patach = חַ => the patach below the chet ist misplaced. If I remove the holam from the vaw, everything looks ok. Oddly, in Linux Libertine I get the correct results in both cases. Does anyone know what the problem is here? User error? A bug in SBL Hebrew (which would be very odd since that font should be designed specifically for that kind of stuff). A missing seeting? Best, Denis \definefontfamily[notok][rm][SBL Hebrew][features=hebrew] \definefontfamily[ok][rm][Linux Libertine O][features=hebrew] \setupdirections[bidi=global,method=unicode] \starttext Ok: {\switchtobodyfont[notok] חִיוּחוחַ } Broken: {\switchtobodyfont[notok] חִיוּחוֹחַ } Linux Libertine works in both cases: Ok: {\switchtobodyfont[ok] חִיוּחוחַ } Ok: {\switchtobodyfont[ok] חִיוּחוֹחַ } \stoptext

Dear all, I fear I hit a bug or missed a change. \starttext \underbar{First line}\\ Second line. \stoptext With lmtx from 2022.07.24 the lines align fine. With current lmtx the first line has a small indent. Ciao! juh
