MP setup for a progress bar
by Henning Hraban Ramm 05 Jul '23

05 Jul '23

Thanks to Taco, Robbert and Jules for their work! I used the downtime to setup a presentation style with a progress bar in the footer. But I get the same (first page) graphics on all pages, and the footer background appears under the text area as well as under the margins. * I thought \useMPgraphics would be enough to re-calculate on every page? * How can I set a background to the footer area, but page width? * I tried \overlaywidth as well as OverlayWidth in the MP graphic – how do I get the page size? """ \setuppapersize[SW] \startuseMPgraphic{Blocks} fill unitsquare xysized (800 * RealPageNumber/NOfPages, 50) withcolor blue; \stopuseMPgraphic \defineoverlay[Blocks][\useMPgraphic{Blocks}] \setupbackgrounds[footer][background={Blocks}] \starttext \dorecurse{10}{\recurselevel\page} \stoptext """ Hraban

The use of \textfont in ConTeXt
by Leah Neukirchen 05 Jul '23

05 Jul '23

Hi, I've been porting Paul Taylor's prooftree.sty (https://www.paultaylor.eu/proofs/) to ConTeXt, which seemed quite easy. There's just one adjustment to make: 291c292 < \else \dimen6=\fontdimen22\the\textfont2 % height of maths axis --- > \else \dimen6=\the\dimexpr\triggeredmathstyleparameter\Umathaxis % height of maths axis It seems that ConTeXt stores the math font in \textfont0 instead of \textfont2 as LaTeX does. Now my question is: is \textfont2 used at all? (I grepped occurences of \textfont0 and \textfont1) Then I could just copy the \textfont0 to \textfont2 before loading the macro and would not require any patches. -- Leah Neukirchen <leah(a)vuxu.org> https://leahneukirchen.org/

mplib: identifiers starting with units
by Leah Neukirchen 05 Jul '23

05 Jul '23

Hi, I've been trying to use the 'cmarrows' metapost library with ConTeXt/mplib. Essentially it's a thin wrapper around the cmr metafont sources to get the arrowheads. This triggers an incompatibility between mplib and classic mpost/mf: pt#:=1pt; In MetaFont/MetaPost pt# is an allowed identifier, but in mplib this results in a parse error. Unfortunately, pt# is used all over the cmr sources... would it make sense to allow using this again? -- Leah Neukirchen <leah(a)vuxu.org> https://leahneukirchen.org/

After erasing the font cache and regenerating LM was doing it right again.

Most often, I’m isolated working with ConTeXt, most collaborators using LaTeX. Of course, some have seen the amazing things we can do with ConTeXt, and are using it a bit, but installation remains a challenge for most of them. Being able to work and share an overleaf project is a way to work in a collaborative way in ConTeXt (and Metafun of course !). > > Aditya Tanks agin for the tip ! Fabrice.

This site can’t be reached wiki.contextgarden.net took too long to respond.
by Carlos 04 Jul '23

Tried a few times to no avail. -- A novice asked the master: "I have a program that sometimes runs and sometimes aborts. I have followed the rules of programming, yet I am totally baffled. What is the reason for this?" The master replied: "You are confused because you do not understand the Tao. Only a fool expects rational behavior from his fellow humans. Why do you expect it from a machine that humans have constructed? Computers simulate determinism; only the Tao is perfect. The rules of programming are transitory; only the Tao is eternal. Therefore you must contemplate the Tao before you receive enlightenment." "But how will I know when I have received enlightenment?" asked the novice. "Your program will then run correctly," replied the master. -- Geoffrey James, "The Tao of Programming"

Server downtime
by Taco Hoekwater 04 Jul '23

04 Jul '23

Hi all, Many of you have noticed that https://wiki.contextgarden.net and https://www.ntg.nl are down, as well as all the mailing lists at domain ntg.nl, and a few less obvious websites like source.contextgarden.net and modules.contextgarden.net. The ntg.nl/wiki.contextgarden.net server’s disk (raid) controller crashed so badly that we did not trust it to come back up in read-write mode, so we had to rebuild the disk setup as read-only and then copy its revived data to a different machine that we also still had to configure. This is a complicated and slow process, unfortunately. Our apologies for the long down time! As of now, we at least have working emails for the mailing lists again. Tomorrow we will try to get the simple websites back up. We hope to at least be able to restore www.ntg.nl, wiki.contextgarden.net, and the mailing list web interface. Getting the email subsystem back up was the main priority today. More news later (sometime tomorrow) All the best, Taco (also from Robbert and Jules) ==== Dag Allemaal, Velen van jullie hebben gemerkt dat https://wiki.contextgarden.net en https://www.ntg.nl onbereikbaar zijn, evenals alle mailinglijsten op domein ntg.nl, en een paar minder voor de hand liggende websites zoals source. contextgarden.net en modules.contextgarden.net. De schijfcontroller (raid) van de ntg.nl/wiki.contextgarden.net-server crashte zo erg dat we het niet vertrouwden om hem terug te laten komen in lees-schrijfmodus, dus moesten we de schijfconfiguratie herstellen als alleen-lezen om vervolgens zijn nieuw leven ingeblazen data te kopiëren naar een andere machine die we ook nog moesten configureren. Dat is helaas een ingewikkeld en vrij langzaam proces. Onze excuses voor de lange downtime! Vanaf nu hebben we in ieder geval weer werkende e-mails voor de mailinglijsten. Morgen gaan we proberen de simpele websites weer aan de praat te krijgen. We hopen in ieder geval www.ntg.nl, wiki.contextgarden.net en de web-interface van de mailinglijsten te kunnen herstellen. Voor vandaag was het heropstarten van de e-mail faciliteiten de eerste prioriteit. Later (ergens morgen) meer nieuws Al het beste, Taco (ook van Robbert en Jules) ==== — Taco Hoekwater E: taco(a)bittext.nl genderfluid (all pronouns)
