Project structure with nested subfolders and shared environments.
by Pawel Urbanski 16 Dec '22

16 Dec '22

Dear Everyone, I'm setting up a project structure that will possibly let me share styles and layouts with lots of documents I need to create weekly. Unfortunately my definitions in the environment file or files are ignored... Here is the setup under the purposely created structure: ** The folder called: 'MainFolder' is the root of my document repository. ** The 'Metadata' folder inside the 'MainFolder' contains environment files. ** The 'SubFolder/SubSubFolder' inside the 'MainFolder' is the nestin glevel I need with all the documents. Here are the files: % /MainFolder/Meta.tex \startproject * \usepath [{ Metadata }] \environment Environment.tex \stopproject % /MainFolder/Metadata/Environment.tex \startenvironment * % Test if setup is applied. \setupbodyfont[ebgaramond] \stopenvironment % /MainFolder/SubFolder/SubSubFolder/Doc.tex \startproduct * \project Meta \startcomponent * \startchapter[title={ Nested }] \input tufte \stopchapter \stopcomponent \stopproduct Unfortunately the default font is applied and EB Garamond is not picked up from the environment. The question is: ** How can I use such a structure to share styles and layouts kept i the 'Metadata' folder and use htem in products that are ment to be complete documents kept in the 'SubSubFolders'? All the very best and htank you in advance for any clarifications... Pawel

issues with variable fonts in latest
by Pablo Rodriguez 15 Dec '22

15 Dec '22

Dear Hans, since you mentioned current latest (2022.12.09 16:34) regarding to variable fonts today, I have found the following issues with Recursive (comparing it with https://www.recursive.design/#toolbar) \definefontfeature[serifa] [axis={wght=500}] \definefontfeature[monor] [axis={wght=500,mono=1}] \definefontfeature[handy] [axis={wght=500,mono=1,casl=0.75}] \definefontfeature[cali] [axis={wght=500,crsv=1}] \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][Recursive] [features={default, serifa}] \definefontfamily[mainface][tt][Recursive] [features={default, monor}] \definefontfamily[mainface][hw][Recursive] [features={default, handy}] \definefontfamily[mainface][cg][Recursive] [features={default, cali}] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=1em] \scale[width=\textwidth] {\rm áéíóúijrf} \scale[width=\textwidth] {\tt áéíóúijrf} \scale[width=\textwidth] {\hw áéíóúijrf} \scale[width=\textwidth] {\cg áéíóúijrf} \stopTEXpage \stoptext 'mono=1' misplaces the dot in i and j and the accent in i (all to the left). It also misses bottom lines in i, r and f. And it also misses the upper left stroke in r. 'crsv=1' gives no alternate glyphs. I use Recursive for a project and I discovered the issues. Many thanks for your help, Pablo

\setuplanguage[explicitrighthyphenchar=-1] only works for English
by Pablo Rodriguez 15 Dec '22

15 Dec '22

Hans, sorry for insisting again, but I’m still experiencing this issue in latest current (from less than an hour ago): \startluacode function document.addfunnyhyphen(tfmdata) local underscore = utf.byte("_") local char = tfmdata.characters[underscore] if not char then return end tfmdata.characters[0xFE000] = { width = 0, height = 0, depth = 0, commands = { { "right", -char.width }, { "down", char.depth }, { "slot", 1, underscore }, } } end utilities.sequencers.appendaction("aftercopyingcharacters", "after","document.addfunnyhyphen") \stopluacode \definehyphenationfeatures [underscore] [righthyphenchar="FE000] \setuphyphenation[method=traditional]% \sethyphenationfeatures[underscore]% \setuplanguage [explicitrighthyphenchar=-1] \setupinteractionscreen[option=singlesided] \starttext \doloopoverlist {es,en,uk,de,nl,pt,fr,it,deo,da,sv,af,no,nb,pl,cs,sk,hr,sl,fi,et,hu} {\mainlanguage[\recursestring] \startTEXpage[offset=1em, width=5em] \hsize\zeropoint \recursestring: \\ \tt \hyphenatedword{legibility-legible} \stopTEXpage} \stoptext pt, hr and et don’t break the line at the hyphen. af breaks the line at the hyphen adding an underscore just below the hyphen. Either I’m missing something extremely basic, or "\setuplanguage[explicitrighthyphenchar=-1]" only works for English. Many thanks for your help, Pablo

Containerized ConTeXt
by Thangalin 14 Dec '22

14 Dec '22

Hi again, I've added the start of a podman container for invoking ConTeXt that may be of interest: https://github.com/DaveJarvis/keenwrite/tree/main/container The Containerfile sets up ConTeXt to work with my themes: https://github.com/DaveJarvis/keenwrite-themes The manage.sh shell script is a wrapper around the podman command to help build, save, and load the container, as well as connect and run commands. It's a work-in-progress. My goal is to simplify the setup and configuration of ConTeXt as well as make the instructions "cross platform" owing to containerization. >From there, I want to call out to the container from KeenWrite to typeset PDF documents using one of the themes. Further, I'd like to have KeenWrite download and install ConTeXt automatically using podman. I believe this will make it easier for people to generate high-quality PDFs from (R) Markdown documents because they'd only have to download KeenWrite, then ask KeenWrite to download/configure ConTeXt automatically, in a cross-platform fashion. Thoughts? Suggestions for improvement?

regular online meet-up
by Henning Hraban Ramm 12 Dec '22

12 Dec '22

You’re invited to join on Wednesday, November 9th, 15:00 CET (UTC+1) at https://lecture.senfcall.de/hen-rbr-rku-oke (same, but shorter: https://v34h.de/ctxmtg) ConTeXt users of all levels are welcome! Next meeting will be on December 14th. (Same blurb as every time:) [Howto] * No special software installation required; most modern browsers should work (WebRTC required). * Open the above URL, accept the privacy statement, * enter your name, * click "join" (or "start" if you’re the first), * click "with microphone", allow your browser to access it, check the audio. * Your microphone is muted if you join. Activate microphone and/or camera with the buttons at the bottom. * Minimize the default presentation with the "screen" button, bottom right. * If you’d like to share your screen or upload a file, you can make yourself the presenter: Click on your user name, change the setting, then you’ll see the "screen sharing" button beside the camera button; also there’s now "manage presentations" behind the "plus" button. Beware there is only one presenter at a time, so don’t kill someone else’s presentation. [Technical hints] * Sound is usually better if you use a headset (less noise for everyone). * Connection problems are mostly due to low bandwidth or high latency on your side, e.g. with mobile connections. * If audio/video doesn’t work for you, you can still use the text chat. * Screen sharing needs a lot of bandwidth. * BigBlueButton documentation applies: https://bigbluebutton.org/teachers/tutorials/ [Netiquette] * Please use a name that we recognize from here. Some feel uncomfortable with anonymous lurkers. * Mute your microphone while you’re not talking. * It’s nice to show your face at least when you join. * If there are connection problems, stop camera sharing. * The room is set to “everyone’s a moderator“, I trust you... See you, Hraban

Dear List! Sorry, but my pdf was too big. So I send a little picture. [cid:image001.jpg@01D90E45.CE727480] I would like to know, if there is a modus in ConTeXt like the same in LaTeX. I found this on page 108, Chapter 3 Math symbos LaTeX Compherensive list. Many thanks Uschi
