compatibility between \startshapetext and \startsection ?
by garulfo＠azules.eu 15 May '24

15 May '24

Hi all, \startshapetext works pretty well, but when I use \startsection \stopsection, shapes are not respected anymore. I use layers, to be able to place the content anywhere, but the issue remains without layers. Any clues ? (\placeinitial seems also to break the shaping) Example : 2 pages without sectioning, and after 2 pages by uncommenting the \startsection and \stopsection commands. \setupbodyfont [pagella, 8pt] \setupframed [frame=on, offset=0.000pt, rulethickness=0.000pt, location=top, align=normal, strut=yes, ] \setuplayout [grid=yes] \setupinteraction [state=start] %------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \definemeasure [myheight] [{\the\dimexpr\baselineskip*33+\lineskip\relax}] \definemeasure [myheighta] [{\the\dimexpr\baselineskip*10+\lineskip*2\relax}] \definemeasure [myheightb] [{\the\dimexpr\baselineskip*20-\lineskip*2\relax}] \startuseMPgraphic{mp1} path p ; numeric myheight ; myheight := \measure{myheight}; numeric myheighta ; myheighta := \measure{myheighta}; numeric myheightb ; myheightb := \measure{myheightb}; p := (0,0) -- (6cm,0) -- (6cm,myheighta) -- (4cm,myheighta) -- (4cm,myheightb) -- (6cm,myheightb) -- (6cm,myheight) -- (0cm,myheight) -- cycle; build_parshape(p,0,0,0,\baselinedistance,\strutheight,\strutdepth,\topskip) ; fill p withcolor \MPcolor{lightyellow}; \stopuseMPgraphic \defineoverlay[ol1][\useMPgraphic{mp1}] %============================================================================== \starttext %============================================================================== {\sc\bfd Version A, without sectionning, pages 1\ampersand 2} \startshapetext[mp1, mp1, mp1, mp1, mp1, mp1] \setupalign[hz,hanging,verytolerant,stretch,normal]% \setupindenting[yes,small]% \strut% \reference[myref1]{MyRef1}Here is the first reference.\par See reference \in[myref2] on \at{page}[myref2]\par % \dorecurse{5}{ %\startsection[title={Title for section{\recurselevel}}] \darkred\input knuth \par \darkblue\input ward %\stopsection } \reference[myref2]{MyRef2} Here is the second reference.\par See reference \in[myref1] on \at{page}[myref1]\par \stopshapetext \definelayer[testA] \setlayer[testA][x=-1cm,y=3cm]{\framed[background=ol1]{\strut\getshapetext}} \setlayer[testA][x=9cm,y=3cm] {\framed[background=ol1]{\strut\getshapetext}} \flushlayer[testA] \page \setlayer[testA][x=-1cm,y=3cm]{\framed[background=ol1]{\strut\getshapetext}} \setlayer[testA][x=9cm,y=3cm] {\framed[background=ol1]{\strut\getshapetext}} \flushlayer[testA] \page %============================================================================== {\sc\bfd Version B, with sectionning, pages 3\ampersand 4} \startshapetext[mp1, mp1, mp1, mp1, mp1, mp1] \setupalign[hz,hanging,verytolerant,stretch,normal]% \setupindenting[yes,small]% \strut% \reference[myref3]{MyRef3}Here is the first reference.\par See reference \in[myref4] on \at{page}[myref4]\par % \dorecurse{5}{ \startsection[title={Title for section{\recurselevel}}] \darkred\input knuth \par \darkblue\input ward \stopsection } \reference[myref4]{MyRef4} Here is the second reference.\par See reference \in[myref3] on \at{page}[myref3]\par \stopshapetext \definelayer[testB] \setlayer[testB][x=-1cm,y=3cm]{\framed[background=ol1]{\strut\getshapetext}} \setlayer[testB][x=9cm,y=3cm] {\framed[background=ol1]{\strut\getshapetext}} \flushlayer[testB] \page \setlayer[testB][x=-1cm,y=3cm]{\framed[background=ol1]{\strut\getshapetext}} \setlayer[testB][x=9cm,y=3cm] {\framed[background=ol1]{\strut\getshapetext}} \flushlayer[testB] %============================================================================== \stoptext %==============================================================================

Dear list, I have the following sample: \setupinteraction[state=start] \setupattachments[method=hidden] \protected\def\PDFfile[#1]% {\cldcontext{file.addsuffix("#1", "pdf")}} \starttext \doifelsefile{\PDFfile[xml-mkiv]} {yes}{no} \attachment[file={\PDFfile[xml-mkiv]}] \stoptext I need the \PDFfile definition to be \protected for only one case (that I cannot reproduce in my sample). Is there any way to define an unprotected command and invoke it as protected only for a particular case? Many thanks for your help, Pablo

weird \inlinetypebuffer interaction
by Pablo Rodriguez 14 May '24

14 May '24

Dear list, I have the following sample: \definefontfamily[mainface][tt][TeX Gyre Termes] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext \startbuffer context --purgeall \stopbuffer inline \typeinlinebuffer block: \typebuffer \stoptext As long as there is no defined font family for mono, \typeinlinebuffer doesn’t convert -- into an en-dash (the same way as \typebuffer behaves). But as in the sample above, when a font is defined for mono (at least with \definefontfamily), \typeinlinebuffer converts -- into en-dashes (different from \typebuffer). Sorry, but how could I fix this \typeinlinebuffer? This is important for me, since two hyphens is one of the most common ways to marks options when invoking programs (which I try to explain to others). BTW, \sciteinlinebuffer seems have the same problem (in the scite module). Many thanks for your help, Pablo

[installation] "unzipping" gives 0K files on windows
by yashpalgoyal1304+ntgcontext＠gmail.com 14 May '24

14 May '24

hi! greetings of the day. ----- ### QoL improvements for installation * on win10 22h2 pc, i am facing problems (attached below) in installing context via [`context-win64.zip`]. * so, i had to run the install.bat again and again. * due to which the same step of "fetching 'http://lmtx.pragma-ade.com/install-lmtx//texmf.zip'" and "fetching 'http://lmtx.pragma-ade.com/install-lmtx//texmf-context.zip'" was performed repeatedly * this consumes lots of time, will & internet bandwidth & takes away the focus from other important part of installation So, 1. can `install.bat` (or whatever responsible) pick these zips from current directory if these exist there? of course, it should match their hash from the internet for verifying that these are same zips it needs. 2. rather than blindly removing the zips after (trying to) unzip, the `mtx-install.lua` should confirm if the "unzipping" hasn't resulted in these empty 0B files - as it seems some fundamental issue on windows (description & context attached below) ----- ### version number i understand that there's [only a 'latest' version, ... no stable release][context_history], * but still where is the version number for this latest shown on web? * i am looking for a plaintext way, i.e. which can be accessed from anywhere without any install. * so, it might be via some "Releases" section on an html webpage, or some file like xml, yml, json, etc containing release versions listing also, please don't use `:` colon or ` ` spaces in version as various package managers use version as directory names. so, my suggested one is: `2025.01.08.T1320` i.e. `yyyy.MM.dd.THHmm` i found various places which mentioned versions, but none of those mentioned "latest stable" version: * news on [main_page]: `The Wiki's ConTeXt installation is on version ConTeXt 2024.01.08 11:23 LMTX.` again, it shows the "wiki's context installation". not the release. * installation wiki: [check_installation]: `mtx-context | current version: 2024.04.01 08:59` it is aimed at illustration & outdated. no reason for it to be kept up-to-date. * [pragma-ade] shows: `2024-05-11 12:57 | 118925584` but it seems for the sources i guess? and it uses `-` dashes as date separator rather than dots at other places above. also, what does last column show with '118925584'? ----- ### details of the problem: * on running `context-win64/install.bat` even as admin & finishing the procedure, the `context --version` is not running. * the `texmf` directory tree matches [`texmf.zip`] (~52MB), but rather than `fonts`, `web2c` being dirs, those appear as files of 0B * similarly the `texmf-context` dir tree matches [`texmf-context.zip`] (~115MB), but again, all the `colors`, `context`, `doc`, `tex`, `web2c` are shown as 0B files rather than being dirs * also the `texmf-win64/bin/` contains a link-file (broken) of 0B with its name in chinese: `畬浡瑥瑡硥攮數` just for records: i have already enabled the developer tools on windows since a long time ago. so, creating filesystem links should work here already. here's exerpt from the `install.bat` run's console output for "unzipping": ``` mtx-install | fetching 'http://lmtx.pragma-ade.com/install-lmtx//texmf.zip' mtx-install | unzipping 'texmf.zip' 70 files of 706 done, 6960406 bytes, 0.083 seconds 140 files of 706 done, 10371456 bytes, 0.151 seconds 210 files of 706 done, 14124718 bytes, 0.234 seconds 280 files of 706 done, 19504148 bytes, 0.318 seconds 350 files of 706 done, 24662280 bytes, 0.401 seconds 420 files of 706 done, 33169752 bytes, 0.484 seconds 490 files of 706 done, 40851921 bytes, 0.583 seconds 560 files of 706 done, 47678981 bytes, 0.672 seconds 630 files of 706 done, 68347030 bytes, 0.818 seconds 700 files of 706 done, 85872915 bytes, 0.943 seconds 706 files of 706 done, 86963093 bytes, 0.963 seconds mtx-install | fetching 'http://lmtx.pragma-ade.com/install-lmtx//texmf-context.zip' mtx-install | unzipping 'texmf-context.zip' 533 files of 5333 done, 88905129 bytes, 0.807 seconds 1066 files of 5333 done, 96885926 bytes, 1.333 seconds 1599 files of 5333 done, 116688474 bytes, 1.911 seconds 2132 files of 5333 done, 125260237 bytes, 2.375 seconds 2665 files of 5333 done, 142877653 bytes, 2.890 seconds 3198 files of 5333 done, 152403593 bytes, 3.375 seconds 3731 files of 5333 done, 160173210 bytes, 3.854 seconds 4264 files of 5333 done, 170072731 bytes, 4.333 seconds 4797 files of 5333 done, 176877135 bytes, 4.791 seconds 5330 files of 5333 done, 183560838 bytes, 5.270 seconds 5333 files of 5333 done, 183587012 bytes, 5.270 seconds mtx-install | installing tex/texmf-win64, 5 files mtx-install | skipping tex/texmf-win64/bin/context.exe mtx-install | new : 31 % : 1315 : tex/texmf-win64/bin/context.lua mtx-install | new : 62 % : 3075584 : tex/texmf-win64/bin/luametatex.exe mtx-install | skipping tex/texmf-win64/bin/mtxrun.exe mtx-install | new : 100 % : 701766 : tex/texmf-win64/bin/mtxrun.lua ``` ----- ### links [context_history]: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_history#ConTeXt_LMTX "lmtx in context history" [check_installation]: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Installation#Check_the_installation "check the installation" [main_page]: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Main_Page "context main page" [pragma-ade]: https://www.pragma-ade.nl/download-1.htm "pragma webpage" [`context-win64.zip`]: https://lmtx.pragma-ade.com/install-lmtx/context-win64.zip "~1.5M" [`texmf.zip`]: http://lmtx.pragma-ade.com/install-lmtx//texmf.zip "~52M" [`texmf-context.zip`]: http://lmtx.pragma-ade.com/install-lmtx//texmf-context.zip "~115M"

Hbox error with itemized list on second page
by Ross Schulman 14 May '24

14 May '24

Hello, I'm attempting to format a resume in Context building off of a template I found online. I'm having an odd error with some bullets on the second page, however. I'm guessing it has something to do with my \definelayout for the second (and subsequent) pages, but I can't figure it out for sure. What is happening is that whichever bullets are at the top of the second page are being wrapped as if they were appearing on the first page, which has a different layout structure. I've pasted a sanitized version of the tex file below. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

applying style to frame content
by seyal.zavira＠gmail.com 14 May '24

14 May '24

Hi all, what is the better way to apply a metapost effect to a piece of any structure text for example when defining footnotes, frames , etc. i use this method for frames: this is my MWE: \defineframed[Myframe][frame=off] \starttexdefinition spaces protected Mystyle #1 \startMPcode picture tt ; tt:= lmt_outline [ kind = "path", text = "\Myframe{#1}", ]; fill for i within tt : pathpart i && endfor cycle withshademethod "linear" withshadedirection up withshadecolors (red,blue); \stopMPcode \stoptexdefinition \starttext \Mystyle{hello} \stoptext but what is the proper way if i want to use this style as simple as \tfb in definition of this structures? such as: \defineframed[Myframe][frame=off,style=\tfb\Mystyle,] Thanks in advance.

Fwd: outlinetext broken?

To: Hans Hagen <j.hagen(a)xs4all.nl> Hi, Hans! Thank you for the update! I'm curious about the following issue: when I use Latin Modern (by default), a thick, filled line is drawn next to the radical. However, when I use another font such as TeX Gyre Schola, I get something similar to outlines-003.pdf, which is, in turn, similar to the result of applying PDF effects.
