Table of Contents Header?
by Michael Urban 31 Dec '21

31 Dec '21

I am playing around with imitating the design of fiction books from the early 20th century. The table of contents for these books often has small headings, 'CHAPTER' (or 'CHAP.') and 'PAGE' over the respective columns. How might this best be accomplished in ConTeXt? Just add a carefully formatted line before the \placecontent ? Or is there some more foolproof way of getting those headers into the right place?

Unicode superscript and subscript parentheses as operators
by Hans Åberg 30 Dec '21

30 Dec '21

Is it possible to use the Unicode superscript and subscript parentheses as superscript and subscript operators? That is, ⁽…⁾ having the same function as ^{…}, and ₍…₎ as _{…}. It might be something like the following, but somehow bundling the last part of \letcharcode into a command. \appendtoks \catcode`⁽=\activecatcode \letcharcode `⁽ ^{ \catcode`⁾=\activecatcode \letcharcode `⁾ } \catcode`₍=\activecatcode \letcharcode `₍ _{ \catcode`₎=\activecatcode \letcharcode `₎ } \to \everymathematics

Hi, I pploaded a new lmtx (no rpi 64 bins yet, one can pick these up from the build in a few days). Apart from a few fixes (older side float issue, some recent special rule related things) the only new thing is 'low level anchoring'. More can be found in ontarget.pdf (ontarget-anchoring.tex). It basically boils down to boxes listening to source, target and anchor keys, as in: \vbox source 123 \bgroup \offinterlineskip \blackrule[width=4cm,height=2cm,depth=0cm,color=darkred]\par \blackrule[width=4cm,height=0cm,depth=1cm,color=darkblue]\par \setbox\scratchboxtwo\hbox anchors "0004 "0001 % anchor "00040001 target 123 orientation 1 {\blackrule[width=2cm,height=1cm,depth=0cm,color=darkgreen]% \hskip-2cm \blackrule[width=2cm,height=0cm,depth=1cm,color=darkyellow]}% % \smash{\box\scratchboxtwo}% \egroup the mentioned document describes a bit higher interface (plugs into layers) .. all kind of experimental and meant as teaser for users who like low level stuff (playground). I also made it possible to use context \frules with leaders as in: test \leaders \frule height 6mm depth 3mm radius 1mm\hfill test \startuseMPgraphic{demoleader} fill unitcircle xysized (RuleWidth,RuleHeight+RuleDepth) withcolor RuleColor ; \stopuseMPgraphic test {\red \leaders \frule height 6mm depth 3mm type mp data {\includeMPgraphic{demoleader}} \hfill} test \startuseMPgraphic{demoleader} drawdblarrow (0,RuleHeight) -- (RuleWidth,RuleHeight) withpen pencircle scaled RuleThickness withcolor RuleColor ; \stopuseMPgraphic test {\red \leaders \frule height 1mm % we need at least some dimensions type mp line 1mm data {\includeMPgraphic{demoleader}} \hfill} test (leaders can have boxes, rules and also glyphs) In principle we can also have adaptive images (basically scaling) so I might make an example of that later (when i need it). Of course I'll fix things I broke this time, Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Is there a syntax for making many index entry's all in one?
by Joel 28 Dec '21

28 Dec '21

I am using \index{} to populate \placeindex (an index) with items. I am wondering if there is any syntax that allows one \index{} command to define more than one entry, for example, something like this: \index{presidents+Lincoln, Abraham; Lincoln, Abraham} The result is two appearances in the index: LLincoln, Abraham Ppresidents Lincoln, Abraham Is there some syntax for making this possible, without calling \index{} multiple times? --Joel

Strange behavior with \startbodymatter ... \stopbodymatter
by Fabrice Couvreur 28 Dec '21

28 Dec '21

Hi, In my file cours_premiere.tex if I indicate \startbodymatter \component[probabilites.tex] \stopbodymatter I get the following error message tex error > tex error on line 49 in file ./cours_premiere.tex: Undefined control sequence \pgfmath@settrigformat <inserted text> \pgfmath@settrigformat \pgfmath@settrigformat \pgfmath@settrigformat <line 3.49> \stopbodymatter 39 [criterium=all, 40 interaction=all, 41 alternative=c] 42 43 \stoptitle 44 45 \stopfrontmatter 46 47 \startbodymatter 48 \component[probabilites.tex] 49 >> \stopbodymatter 50 51 52 \stopproduct The control sequence at the end of the top line of your error message was never \def'ed. You can just continue as I'll forget about whatever was undefined. mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 1 TeX Output exited abnormally with code 1 at Tue Dec 28 15:31:31 On the other hand, if I indicate \component[probabilites.tex] the file compiles without error. Thanks Fabrice

Contextual removal of some ligatures using fonts.handlers.otf.addfeature (LuaTeX 1.13.2)
by Thomas Savary 28 Dec '21

28 Dec '21

Hello, dear list ! In order to fix a few bugs in some OpenType features included in EB Garamond font provided by Google Fonts, I am trying to remove some ligatures (erroneous in some contexts) with fonts.handlers.otf.addfeature. I must be missing something, because I can't get it to work. Here is a minimal —non working—example :-) (The attempted removal (“f_i” → “fi” only before “o”) is of course irrelevant. I chose it just for the sole purpose of this test, to provide a simple example. What I am trying to achieve is more complex, with other ligatures.) fonts.handlers.otf.addfeature{ name = "unfio", type = "chainsubstitution", lookups = { { type = "multiple", data = { [ "f_i" ] = { "f", "i" } } } } rules = { { after = { { "o" } }, current = { { "f_i" } }, lookups = { 1 } } } } } Could someone please explain to me what I did wrong ?

Why are endnotes not working with ConTeXt-SBL?
by Joel 26 Dec '21

26 Dec '21

I am using the ConTeXt-SBL package for citations. I need to move my footnotes to the end of each article. According to the manual, I can suppress the placement of footnotes using two lines of code. I've added these to my minimal working code, placing \setupnote[footnote][location=none] in the header and \placenotes[footnote] where I want the endnotes to appear. It complains this error: "Undefined control sequence \doifendswithpunctelse" What did I do wrong? --Joel Code follows: \usemodule[publ-imp-sbl] \startbuffer [bib] @Article{na2006, title={Volcanoes \word{of} New Mexico}, year={2006}, journal={New Mexico Earth Matters}, publisher={New Mexico Bureau \word{of} Geology \word{and} Mineral Resources}, volume={6}, number={1}, location={Socorro, New Mexico} } @Book{clark1989, author = {Clark, William}, title = {Railroads \word{and} railroad towns \word{in} New Mexico}, publisher = {New Mexico Magazine}, year = {1989}, address = {Albuquerque, New Mexico}, isbn = {9780937206126} } \stopbuffer \usebtxdataset[bib.buffer] \setupbtx[dataset=default] \usebtxdefinitions[sbl] \setupbtx[sbl] \setupnote[footnote][location=none] \starttext \input knuth \cite[clark1989] \placenotes[footnote] \startchapter[title=Bibliography] \placelistofpublications \stopchapter \stoptext
