directsetup vs setups
by Rik Kabel 15 Nov '21

15 Nov '21

Hello list, Can anyone provide a description of, or a point to a description of, the differences between setups= and directsetup= for including setups? I searched the list archive and the documents and found nothing. (That may indicate my level of search foo, but nonetheless I am in need of help with this.) -- Rik

Can't replicate a simple example in the wikipage
by A A 15 Nov '21

15 Nov '21

Dear All, I'm trying to run one of the examples in the ConTeXt wiki page https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Titles Here's the code: *\setuppapersize[A5]\section[sec:old]{Old Section}This is an old-style \ConTeXt\ section.\startsection [ title={New Section} reference=sec:new, ]This is a new-style section.\stopsection* However, my compiled pdf looks nothing like the example on the wiki. What am I doing wrong? Is there anything wrong with my ConTeXt settings? Regards, Amine

\startbodymatter forcing new page in document
by A A 15 Nov '21

15 Nov '21

Dear All, The following code generates a title and some fake text: *\setuppagenumbering[location=right]\usemodule[visual]\usebtxdataset[bibliography.bib]\starttext\title{test}\fakewords{1000}{1200}\stoptext* The following code does the same, but wraps the fakewords in a *bodymatter * environment: *\setuppagenumbering[location=right]\usemodule[visual]\usebtxdataset[bibliography.bib]\starttext\title{test}* *\startbodymatter\fakewords{1000}{1200}\stopbodymatter* *\stoptext* In the first case, the title remains on the same page as the fake text. In the second case, a new page is forced after the title. Why does this occur? Regards, Amine

Paragraph break over pages with hanging float
by Adam Reviczky 15 Nov '21

15 Nov '21

Hi, Is there a way to allow a paragraph to break over two pages (between the paragraph start and the placement of the float) with a hanging float further down the paragraph? MWE: \starttext \input lorem \blank[20*line] % commenting out the hanging float allows paragraph break \startplacefigure[location={right,15*hang}] \framed[width=3cm,height=2cm]{graphic} \stopplacefigure \dorecurse{10}{\input lorem} \stoptext When I remove the hanging float, the paragraph is broken down at the first pagebreak. With the float, the paragraph starts always on the next page, regardless of the space left on the previous page. Adam

Emojis showing up in black instead of colours
by Vincent Hennebert 15 Nov '21

15 Nov '21

Hi there, freshly upgraded LMTX installation. TwemojiMozilla.ttf downloaded from GitHub [1]. The following: \usemodule[fonts-emoji] \definefontfeature [overlay] [default] [ccmp=yes, colr=yes, dist=yes] \starttext {\definedfont[name:twemojimozilla*overlay] \ShowEmoji} \stoptext gives me pages of emojis, all black. According to what is described on Stackexchange, I should be getting colours. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks, Vincent [1] https://github.com/mozilla/twemoji- colr/releases/download/v0.6.0/TwemojiMozilla.ttf [2] https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/466442/context-using-emoji- fonts-without-color

Re: [NTG-context] mwe (font proble) SOLVED
by skyhorse＠gmx.us 15 Nov '21

Solved. Well almost. I do know that it's an access problem of some sort. I used 'font-manager' to look at fonts and it showed 'DejaVu Math Tex Gyre' as "disabled" For su is shows the font as usable. When context is run su, it compiles successfully. So the fonts are there. The example does work, but, not for me as user. I for some reason have the some fonts disabled. I'll figure out how to enable them. Thank you all for your time. I'll post back when I know what to do in case any future user has this problem.

That is all that is in the .lmtx source file. From looking at the errors, I agree, it looks like there are no math fonts or, they are not visiable to context. I need advice on how I can remedy that. What do I need and what do I need to do to install them if I don't have them already on disk. I assume that they are not distributed with the <install.sh> shelll script. Thanks

Here is the minium not-working example which I took from the Wikigarden a few minutes ago. \def\T#1{% \startitemize[#1,joinedup] \item This is a bullet of type #1. \stopitemize } \starttext \dorecurse{9}{\T\recurselevel} \stoptext Compiling this into a pdf file with context produces an error.

issue importing metadata from PDF
by Pablo Rodriguez 12 Nov '21

12 Nov '21

Hans, I have a PDF document (which I didn’t generate) and it contains the following objects: 1 0 obj << /Title 272 0 R /Producer 273 0 R /Creator 274 0 R /CreationDate 275 0 R /ModDate 275 0 R >> endobj 272 0 obj (This is an important title) endobj 273 0 obj (Mac OS X 10.12.1 Quartz PDFContext) endobj 274 0 obj (Keynote) endobj 275 0 obj (D:20161108071428Z00'00') endobj I cannot import these objects, since they are tables instead of strings, after checking that with: \startluacode function document.transfer_metadata(name) local main_doc = lpdf.epdf.load(name) context(type(main_doc.Info.ModDate)) context(type(main_doc.Info.Title)) end \stopluacode Would it be possible that LMTX can deal with these objects and import them as strings? Many thanks for your help, Pablo
