Can I just put a footnote without marking in the main text?
by Zhichu Chen 18 May '22

18 May '22

Hi everybody, After some attempts to put footnotes in a mixed 1&2 columns layout, I decide to put marks in the one-column environment and flush them when entering the two-column environment. The code is ugly but the result is acceptable. Except that the invisible footnote marks do generate something in the main text, so there's a blank line for each footnote. Here's an MWE: ============================================= \definenote[address] \setupnote[address][rule=off,location=text] \definenote[putjustmark] \setupnote[putjustmark][location=none] \setupnotation[putjustmark][numberconversion=set 2] \definenote[putjustnote]%[footnote] % if footnotes need to be grouped, uncomment the second argument and the line after \the\titlefootnotes \setupnote[putjustnote][textcommand=\gobbleoneargument] \setupnotation[putjustnote][numberconversion=set 2] \newtoks\titlefootnotes \def\thanks#1{\putjustmark{#1}\appendtoks \putjustnote{#1} \to \titlefootnotes} \def\email#1{\putjustmark{#1}\appendtoks \putjustnote{#1} \to \titlefootnotes} \appendtoks \setcounter[footnote][0] % this looks stupid because it has no effect %\setupnotation[footnote][numberconversion=numerals] \to \titlefootnotes \definenamespace [addr] [type=module, name=address, command=yes, setup=list, parent=addr, ] \define[1]\useaddress {\setnotetext[address][#1]{\namedaddressparameter{#1}{name}}} \starttext \defineaddress[fst][name={Name of Institute or Affiliation, City, Country}] \defineaddress[snd][name={Name of Secondary Institute or Affiliation, City, Country}] \processcommacommand[fst,snd]\useaddress The Title\thanks{Work supported by somebody.} Me\email{myemail(a)some.where}\high{,}\note[address][fst]\high{,}\note[address][snd] \placenotes[address] \blank[medium] \startcolumns \the\titlefootnotes %\setcounter[footnote][0] % why it's necessary to set the counter outside the token if I define [putjustnote] as [footnote]? test\footnote{test} \input knuth \stopcolumns \stoptext =============================================

Re: [NTG-context] List of publications…

And using lowercase characters is unfortunately a no-op as far as I'm concerned: my bib files have been filled with CamelCase for years, and are loaded by dozens of other files… is there something I missed? current version: 2022.05.02 16:19 Damien

Achieving the style of Jean-Luc Doumont
by Stefan Nedeljkovic 16 May '22

16 May '22

Dear list, Years ago I stumbled upon the work of Jean-Luc Doumont. He typesets all his documents using TeX, although his modified Version called Quantum. The whole idea of his fascinating approach is that the page is quantized in 2 dimensions and that all positioning, even graphical elements stick to that grid. I'm attaching a link to a presentation by him in which he gives some fragments of code that I, unfortunately, have a hard time understanding. I'm interested in replicating this 2d grid in Context. How would one go about enforcing such strict 2d organization? As I get it he does a lot of manual tweaking, and his documents are less automated and more hand crafted than a typical Context document. I'm specifically interested in using this approach for report generation. To me data I/O is not an issue since I would use a Python script to generate the markup. I know the question is pretty general, but any pointers would be welcome. Maybe the first thing useful would be the grid and how to position everything in accordance with it. I envisioned this thread more for discussion and suggestions than a complete recreation of his ideas. As I learn Context and Metapost, I hope I will figure out how to recreate his work. Sorry for the blog post :) Link to files: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1KpYbDlukvSCirKkFvJICOX3wABl_83bW?us… Sincerely, Stefan

lua-widow-control module error in LMTX
by Eduardo Bohoyo 14 May '22

14 May '22

Hi, I would like to know if anyone has experienced the same error with the lua-widow-control module when compiling the pdf: modules > 'lua-widow-control' is loaded open source > level 2, order 3, name '/opt/luametatex/texmf-modules/tex/context/third/lua-widow-control/t-lua-widow-control.mkxl'. resolvers > lua > unknown file 'lua-widow-control.lua' lua error > lua error on line 74 in file /opt/luametatex/texmf-modules/tex/context/third/lua-widow-control/t-lua-widow-control.mkxl The odd thing is that line 75 of the t-lua-widow-control file is empty. On the other hand, I confess that I don't know what "resolvers" means when it says it doesn't know the lua-widow-control.lua file. I don't see any mention of this file within the t-lua-widow-control module. Could it be that this module is not yet mature for lmtx, or am I missing something? I have \usemodule[lua-widow-control] in my tex document, and I haven't forgotten to do the prescribed mtxrun --generate after including the module in my third-party folder of my luametatex installation on Arch. Kind regards, Edu

conditionals for font features
by Pablo Rodriguez 13 May '22

13 May '22

Dear list, I wonder whether there is a conditional for font features similar to \doifelseitalic. \doifelsecurrentfonthasfeature checks whether the font supports an OpenType feature. \doifunknownfontfeature checks whether the font feature has been defined. It seems that \doifelsefontfeature checks whether the font feature has been defined or not. Could anyone explain me how to check whether c2sc is being used or not in the following sample? \definefontfeature[asc][c2sc=yes, smcp=yes] \setupbodyfont[palatino] \starttext \feature[+][asc] abc\\ \feature[-][asc] abc \stoptext Many thanks for your help, Pablo
