Hatch a cell : meta:hash:left
by Fabrice Couvreur 16 Jan '21

16 Jan '21

Hi, I seem to have seen a method for hatching the cell of a table, but maybe it's my imagination. The following code does not work. Thanks for your help. Fabrice ################## hatching.tex ############# \setupcolors[state=start] \usemodule[xwi] \starttext \startxtable [align={lohi,middle}, width=1.5cm,framecolor=purple] \startxrow \startxcell[background=color,backgroundcolor=paleturquoise] i \stopxcell \startxcell [background=meta:hash:left, meta:hash:linecolor=green] \stopxcell \startxcell 0 \stopxcell \startxcell 1 \stopxcell \startxcell 2 \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable \stoptext ########################################

Floating object in text - Spacing
by Johann Birnick 16 Jan '21

16 Jan '21

Consider the following example: \setupexternalfigures[location=default] \starttext \placefigure[right,none]{}{\externalfigure[hacker.jpg][scale=518]} \samplefile{lorem} \stoptex What bothers me is the top spacing. There is space to the top, and I dont want it to be there. On the bottom there is no spacing. I would expect it to be evenly distributed. But the spacing on the top will always be there. How to remove this? Thank you, Johann

\setupcolors and \underbar bug?
by Alan Bowen 14 Jan '21

14 Jan '21

The mwe \starttext \setupcolors[state=stop] {\darkred Test} \underbar{Here} \stoptext fails: “Here” does not appear above the underbar (which has the correct length). When \setupcolors[state=stop] is commented out, the file runs as it should. Alan

what’s up with \setupdelimitedtext[method=font]?
by Henning Hraban Ramm 14 Jan '21

14 Jan '21

Hi again, the following example used to work with LMTX (but not MkIV) from September. Now I get the "narrower" indentation only if I comment the first line (in both versions) – apparently there’s a setup conflict, and I don’t know any more why I needed this setup. Could you explain what it does (did, should do)? Hraban \setupdelimitedtext[quotation][method=font] % hanging quotation marks %\setupalign[hanging] \setupnarrower[left=2em,right=1.5em] \definenarrower[Zitat] \setupnarrower[Zitat] [left=2em, right=1.5em, before=\dontleavehmode\hskip-0.33em\startquotation, % fake hanging quotation mark after=\stopquotation] \usemodule[visual] \starttext \fakewords{50}{50} \startquotation quotation \fakewords{100}{100} \stopquotation\footnote{about quotation} \startZitat Zitat \fakewords{100}{100} \stopZitat\footnote{about Zitat} \stoptext

LMTX problem with \input
by Henning Hraban Ramm 14 Jan '21

14 Jan '21

Another LMTX/MkIV difference: In a component, I include another file with \input, that starts with \page in the first line. With LMTX I get an error: """ I can't figure out why you would want to use a tab mark here. If some right brace up above has ended a previous alignment prematurely, you're probably due for more error messages. """ It works if I insert a blank line, and it works in MkIV. Sorry, I can’t reproduce this apparent edge case in a MWE yet. Hraban

LMTX/MkIV difference in date handling
by Henning Hraban Ramm 14 Jan '21

14 Jan '21

ConTeXt ver: 2021.01.11 17:27 LMTX fmt: 2021.1.11 The following works in MkIV, but not in LMTX: \def\Jahr{\currentdate[year]} \settaggedmetadata[ rights={© \Jahr{} Me} ] \starttext \strut \stoptext The error message is: 1 \def\Jahr{\currentdate[year]} 2 3 \settaggedmetadata[ 4 >> rights={© \Jahr{} Me} 5 ] 6 7 \starttext 8 \strut 9 \stoptext 10 You've closed more groups than you opened. Such booboos are generally harmless, so keep going. Hraban

Extra space in align if tagging is enabled
by Mikael Sundqvist 13 Jan '21

13 Jan '21

Hi, There is an extra vertical space after displayed formulas with align if pdftagging is enabled. If I remove the last \NR it goes away (but I have got the idea that one should have that final \NR there?) /Mikael \setuptagging[state=start] \starttext \samplefile{knuth} \startformula \startalign \NC A \NC = B\NR \stopalign \stopformula \samplefile{knuth} \startformula \startalign \NC A \NC = B \stopalign \stopformula \samplefile{knuth} \stoptext

extra width in cropbox and trimbox
by Pablo Rodriguez 12 Jan '21

12 Jan '21

Dear list, I have already reported this before (https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2020/099636.html) I have the following sample: \setupinteractionscreen [width=fit] \starttext \null \stoptext Mediabox is fine: [ 0 0 595.2756 841.8898 ] But cropbox and trimbox contain extra width: [ 0 0 741.4331 841.8898 ] This is caused by \setupinteractionscreen[width=fit]. Generating booklets from documents with the values above leads to wrong output. Could anyone explain me what is wrong here? Sorry, but I don’t know what I may be missing. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

xtable as list item
by Pablo Rodriguez 12 Jan '21

12 Jan '21

Dear list, I have the following sample: \starttext \startitemize[n][margin=yes] \item a \item \startembeddedxtable[option={stretch, width}] \dorecurse{25}{\startxrow \startxcell \Characters{\recurselevel}\stopxcell \startxcell \characters{\recurselevel}\stopxcell \stopxrow} \stopembeddedxtable \stopitemize \stoptext I want to add the xtable as a list item. I’m experiencing two issues: 1. Item number is placed at the bottom of the xtable. 2. There is an added horizontal space, so that the xtable has a minimal indentation that the first item doesn’t have. (In my real document, this horizontal space is huge.) Is there any way to suppress both issues? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

lmtx upload
by Hans Hagen 11 Jan '21

11 Jan '21

Hi, I uploaded a new lmtx. Nothing spectacular as I'm still playign with compact font support (as explained in previous mails). Most seem to work now. New magic: \startTEXpage[offset=10pt] \vl\glyph `M\vl\quad \vl\glyph raise 3pt `M\vl\quad \vl\glyph left 3pt `M\vl\quad \vl\glyph right 2pt`M\vl\quad \vl\glyph raise -4pt right 4pt`M\vl\quad \vl\glyph left -1pt right -1pt`M\vl \stopTEXpage This is part of some experiments with manipulating glyph dimensions instead of font kerns. These extensions will stay (who knows when it comes un handy) but we will probably stick to font kerns as default. \startTEXpage[offset=10pt] \showfontkerns \showglyphs \strut average\par \vskip-2ex \enabledirectives[fonts.injections.method=advance] {\red \strut average}\par \stopTEXpage Both methods have their pros and cons.
