Metafun's utflen not working in certain contexts
by Jairo A. del Rio 05 Oct '21

Hi, list. The following works for MkIV, but not LMTX (adapted from here: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/617597/how-can-i-use-luas-string-le… ): \startMPinclusions vardef MotMystere(expr taille, speciale, index) = save avant,apres,case; numeric avant,apres; path case; case := fullsquare scaled 13; avant := speciale-1; %For Unicode, use "utflen" instead apres := utflen(taille) - speciale; if avant >= 1: for j=1 upto avant: draw (case rotated 180 cutafter point 3 of case rotated 180) shifted (-13j,-13*index); endfor; fi; label.lft (index,point 3.5 of case shifted (-13*avant,-13*index)); draw case yshifted (-13*index); fill case yshifted (-13*index) withcolor \MPcolor{gray-8}; if apres > 0: for j=1 upto apres: draw (case cutafter point 3 of case) shifted (13j,-13*index); endfor; fi; enddef; \stopMPinclusions \starttext An example with "enigma" \startMPcode MotMystere("enigma",4,1) \stopMPcode \stoptext

Text expander
by Luis Montgomery 03 Oct '21

03 Oct '21

Has anyone used a "text expander" like Espanso https://espanso.org to ease work with ConTeXt? Ex. - trigger: ":s1" replace: "\\startsection\n$|$\n\\stopsection" Best regards Luis Antelo

Dumb question about ligatures
by Bruce Horrocks 03 Oct '21

03 Oct '21

I'm using a TTF file that has no ligature capability as a built-in feature. It does however have glyphs for fi and fl but ConTeXt isn't substituting them. So the question is: what do I need to do to persuade ConTeXt to do fi & fl ligature substitution? — Bruce Horrocks Hampshire, UK

ConTeXt's equivalent of standalone class
by noib3 02 Oct '21

02 Oct '21

Coming from LaTeX, when I had some TikZ pictures I wanted to add in my document I would usually keep them on a separate file, I would compile them with the standalone class so that the resulting PDF's size would be limited to exactly the dimensions of the figure. I would then import the compiled PDF in my main document. All this to not slow down compilation times. What's the ConTeXt equivalent of this workflow? How can I keep the PDF dimensions limited to the figure?

Blank line after \item: MkIV vs LMTX and how to properly get rid of it
by Vladimir Lomov 30 Sep '21

30 Sep '21

Hello. Consider the following small example: ------------------------------------ 8< -------------------------------------- \starttext \startitemize[n] \item \input tufte \item \placefigure[right,none]{}{\externalfigure[cow]}% \input tufte \item \blank[overlay]% \placefigure[right,none]{}{\externalfigure[cow]}% \input tufte \stopitemize \startitemize[n,intext] \item \input tufte \item \placefigure[right,none]{}{\externalfigure[cow]}% \input tufte \item \blank[overlay]% \placefigure[right,none]{}{\externalfigure[cow]}% \input tufte \stopitemize \stoptext ------------------------------------ 8< -------------------------------------- I see a difference in MkIV and LMTX work: - MkIV always put a blank line despite '\blank[overlay]' command; - with \blank[overlay] and 'intext' option LMTX clutters item label (number in this case). Q1: is this the expected behavior for MkIV and LMTX? I found a recipe with \blank[overlay] in the mailing list. Q2: is it expected that LMTX will clutter item label when I use \blank[overlay]? I suspect the answer is "yes" due to the option name. Q3: how to prevent blank line insertion in such case: an item with text framing a picture (on right side or on left side but the picture is below the item label)? --- WBR, Vladimir Lomov -- Without freedom of choice there is no creativity. -- Kirk, "The return of the Archons", stardate 3157.4

\hyphenatedurl
by jbf 29 Sep '21

At the moment \hyphenatedurl is not working for me in the latest LMTX but is in MkIV. Am I the only one experiencing this? I am aware that I am using a rather special typeface (Atkinson Hyperlegible) but am not sure if that would cause a problem... it doesn't for MkIV. Julian

Hi, Due to domain transfer issues (provider quits services) there is the possibility that the coming days the pragma-ade.com address fails. The pragma-ade.nl and other addresses are okay, If all works well the installer handles fallbacks. Eventually the context garden will also have the files.

special case of hskip...?
by jbf 28 Sep '21

28 Sep '21

In just one instance I would like the following to work differently: \startchapter[title={Introduction\\Disability and marginalisation},list={Introduction:\crlf Disability and marginalisation}]. That gives me: Introduction: Disability and marginalisation But I would like to have: Introduction: Disability and marginalisation Is there some way I can provide a space (whose amount I can determine specifically) after the \crlf in list={}? Effectively I am trying to provide a space at the beginning of a line, and I know I can't use \indentation or similar here. I may have to do it back at the preamble level by setting up a different kind of \setuphead, but I was hoping that in just this one case I could do it inside the existing setup. Julian
