Layers – when do they repeat?
by Henning Hraban Ramm 21 Jul '21

21 Jul '21

Hi, I’m struggling with layers again. According to https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Layers and my previous experience, what you typeset on layers appears only once, while you don’t set repeat=yes. But in my example (derived from a magazine layout where I use this margin layer for subtitles) the margin text is repeated on every page. Same behavior in current LMTX and MkIV. What did I wrong? Or is it a bug? (The same setup didn’t cause repeats in 2019.) Hraban \usemodule[visual] \setuplayout[ backspace=82mm, width=118mm, leftmargindistance=4mm, leftmargin=57mm, ] \definelayer[leftmargin][ x=0mm,y=3mm, width=\leftmarginwidth, height=\textheight ] \setupbackgrounds[text][leftmargin][background=leftmargin,state=start] \starttext \setlayerframed[leftmargin][ frame=off, offset=overlay, width=\leftmarginwidth, align={flushleft,verytolerant}, ]{Why is this repeated on every page? It should not.}% \dorecurse{20}{ \fakewords{20}{100}\par } \stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] ntg-context Digest, Vol 205, Issue 1 // log: use \thinspace instead of \,
by Rudd, Kevin 21 Jul '21

Revisiting this one---as noted in the thread \, used to work in text mode; according to the logs it was deprecated and now produces an error preventing most of my documents from compiling. Is there solution that restores \, (and friends) for abbreviated spacing in text mode that doesn't require bulk changes to all of my documents (and making the source documents hard to type/read)? I appreciate using the more verbose \thinspace in macros but the abbreviations have real value in bulk text, especially when heavily used. I have many uses throughout my documents where I need a thin space (such as working with SI units) where it would be very awkward to use \thinspace everywhere in the source text. for example, consider a simple example that used to work but no longer does with the alternatives that I'm aware of: 32\,MiB--64\,MiB 32$\,$MiB--64$\,$MiB 32\thinspace MiB--64\thinspace MiB The difference in both writeability and readability for these cases is significant, especially when there are many uses close together in either text or table.

At least in German typography these “spatiums” are necessary. In French typography as well. Indeed, American: 10,000.00 French: 10\,000,00 (and other languages). This is quite readable, and much preferred to the use of any kind of macro that might format numbers according to language. I find that students often need such helpers when deciphering many digits. Let's not forget all of these spaces commands are used in math mode. Sure, and thet adaot to math mode. They will nto dissppear, it's just that in macros I like more verbose names. Hans Kevin W.

But I don’t know how to ge the identifier of the div which contains the destination idetifier. How could I get that? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Mojca, sorry I missed you query about the location of the image zip. I used: https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspios_arm64/images/raspios_arm64-2020-0… But the lite version you mention below should use the same library. > ....Does this look like the correct place for fetching the images with Debian 10? > https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspios_lite_arm64/images/raspios_lite_ar… > > Mojca Regards, Jay p.s. I'm away from the rpi now but will try out the new runtime prog you sent and get back to you. --- END

languages
by Hans van der Meer 18 Jul '21

18 Jul '21

Here is something I think that should be added to the documentation. In the ConTeXt garden (page Command/mainlanguage) the description is: mainlanguage Set the language of auto-generated language elements, like the title of the table of contents or the appendix. On the Command/language page: Change the hyphenation rules, quotation marks, all that sort of thing, to that of a different language. (The default language is English.) Testing showed that \mainlanguage sets both \currentlanguage and \currentmainlanguage to the same value, while \language sets \currentlanguage only. My suggestion is to add info to this behaviour to the mainlanguage page, reflecting the fact that \mainlanguage does set both \currentlanguage and \currentmainlanguage.Which is not apparent from the current documentation. Another solution would be to separate \language and \mainlanguage completely. An option I would prefer for clarity, because now the order of calling \language and \mainlanguage makes a difference. dr. Hans van der Meer

date formatting
by Hans van der Meer 18 Jul '21

18 Jul '21

From Wikipedia: In English-language <safari-reader://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language> outside North America (mostly in Anglophone Europe and some countries in Australasia), full dates are written as 7 December 1941 (or 7th December 1941) and spoken as "the seventh of December, nineteen forty-one" (exceedingly common usage of "the" and "of"), with the occasional [my emphasis] usage of December 7, 1941 ("December the seventh, nineteen forty-one"). In common with most continental European usage, however, all-numeric dates are invariably ordered dd/mm/yyyy. From this I infer that \language[en] or \language[en-gb] should format dates normally in day-month-year order, reserving mont-day-year for \language[us] i.e. language[en-us]. But in ConTeXt both \language[en] and \language[en-gb] produce the us ordering for \currentdate. I would be pleased if ConTeXt could be changed to the above mentioned normal behaviour for english. That is [en] and [en-gb] produce the day-month-year order and that [us] and [en-us] month-day-year. dr. Hans van der Meer

Moving the old book-structure to a recent ConTeXt
by Gerben Wierda 18 Jul '21

18 Jul '21

Years ago I wrote a book (Chess and the Art of Enterprise Architecture) using ConTeXt. The setup was (I think Taco’s) basic book project setup, with a chapters, environments, products, etc. subdirectory where you work in the chapters directory and can both produce individual chapters and the whole book. The main tool to produce was texexec. ConTeXt has moved on considerably since then (2014-2015). So, I tried teh old project to see if it still works, but found out it didn’t. There still is a texexec in my MacTeX, but the compilation fails: texexec --pdf --mode=SCREEN ../products/prd_book.tex resolvers | initialization | fatal error: kpse library is accessed (key: original) Is there a new ‘book’ project structure/template for the modern/standalone ConTeXt? Note, I have both a standalone ConTeXt (for another project) and the MacTeX distribution on my system.
