Spacing within combinations
by Michael Guravage 22 Jun '24

22 Jun '24

Greetings, The attached MWE combines 12 images in a 3 by 4 grid; with horizontal and vertical spacing set by setupcombinations. I have two questions. First, can someone please tell me why the vertical spacing is not applied between the first and second and third and fourth rows? Second, why, If I try, e.g.c 15 images, does ConTeXt complain of a missing left brace. More generally, my mwe failed with an odd number of images, but succeeded with an even number. Thanks. With kind regards, Michael <http://literatesolutions.com>

(off-topic) hovering over links in Acrobat Reader
by Pablo Rodriguez 21 Jun '24

21 Jun '24

Dear list, I have the following source: \setupbodyfont[dejavu, sans, 24pt] \setupinteraction[state=start, style=, color=, contrastcolor=, display=new] \enabledirectives[references.border=darkgreen] \def\myurl#1% {{\tt\goto{\hyphenatedurl{#1}}[url(#1)]}} \protect\def\myhref#1#2% {\goto{\hyphenatedurl{#1}}[url(#2)]} \starttext \startTEXpage[pagestate=start, offset=1em, align=center] {\bfa Hovering Over Links} \blank[1st] \attachment[method=hidden, file={signed-a.pdf}] \goto{An embedded PDF document}[signed-a::] \blank[.5st] \myurl{https://contextgarden.net} \blank[.5st] \myhref{A link to the Garden}{https://contextgarden.net} \stopTEXpage \stoptext I also attach my output, since the first link is a link to an embedded document and not the expected link to an external document (I modified ConTeXt to get that kind of link). The issue I’m experiencing with Acrobat Reader DC on Windows (automatically updated to latest version) is that when hovering over links, I get different results. The three links are (in order from top to bottom): 1. A link to the embedded document. 2. An external link with its address as text. 3. Another external link without its address as text. Some days (as today [sorry, I don’t have access to Windows now]), hovering over the three links displayed the word "link" (even with Acrobat set to Spanish). Other days, hovering over the first link displays nothing and hovering over the two other links show their actual destination address. This behavior seems so random to me that I‘m not sure I’m not missing anything. Would you be so kind to test the attached document (and the one you may generate from the sample source) hovering over the link frames in Acrobat (ideally DC updated to latest)? At least, I would like to be sure what is going on here. Hovering over links is basic precaution before clicking them. To explain that to others, I’d rather know how Acrobat (Reader) behaves in these cases. Sorry the off-topic issue and many thanks for your help in advance, Pablo

Specify separator within setupbtx for custom bibliography rendering
by Gerion Entrup 21 Jun '24

21 Jun '24

Hi, according to the section "Custom citation renderings" in the bibliography manual, I have specified an own setup for citation rendering. However, this seems only to work for single citations (of one source). I want to also specify the separator but did not get it to run. Here is a minimal example: ``` \setupinteraction[state=start] \startbuffer[testdata] @Book{knuth1, author = {Donald E. Knuth}, title = {TEX and METAFONT. New directions in typesetting}, year = {1979}, publisher = {Addison-Wesley}, } @Article{someother, author = {Some Person and Some Otherperson}, title = {Another title}, year = {1900}, } \stopbuffer % enable tracing \enabletrackers[publications, publications.crossref, publications.details, publications.cite, publications.strings] \usebtxdataset[main][testdata.buffer] \usebtxdefinitions[aps] \setupbtx[dataset=main] \definebtxrendering[bibrendering][aps][dataset=main, numbering=short] \setupbtxlist[aps][ alternative=b, distance=.5em, ] \definebtx[aps:cite:special][aps:cite][ left={((}, right={))}, separator:2={sfd}, separator:3={sfd}, separator:4={sfd}, ] \startsetups btx:aps:cite:special % just a dummy \btxcitereference \currentbtxtag \stopsetups \setupbtx[aps:cite][ alternative=special, ] \starttext Both said something~\cite[knuth1, someother]. \placelistofpublications[bibrendering] \stoptext ``` The output of this is: > Both said something ((knuth1someother)). How can I get the separator to work? My expectation would be: > Both said something ((knuth1sfdsomeother)). or > Both said something ((knuth1sfd someother)). Best, Gerion

\brokenpenalties query
by Alan Bowen 21 Jun '24

21 Jun '24

I have in the past relied on \setpenalties\brokenpenalties{1}{10000}\ to set the penalty for a page break after a hyphen. But with the latest LMTX, when I run the file, I get the error message Error count has to be 1 for \brokenpenalties Any advice on how to fix the file would be most welcome. Alan

Transparency in external PDFs does not work
by Gerion Entrup 21 Jun '24

21 Jun '24

Hi, I'm using LaTeX-Beamer and TikZ for figure typesetting. With this combination, it is easy to combine Beamer's animation system with TikZ transparency feature. This way, the resulting PDFs contain the full graphic on every page, but parts of it are invisible for a specific page. One of these files is attached as an example. The problem is to embed these PDFs into a ConTeXt document. For example, this MWE seems to not respect transparency (see mwe.pdf): ``` \starttext \externalfigure[fig.pdf][page=1] \stoptext ``` I use Okular/Poppler as PDF viewer. Can I fix this somehow or is it a bug somewhere deeper? Best Gerion

URL in footnote citation
by Kip Warner 20 Jun '24

20 Jun '24

Hello list, I am trying to get my references that have URLs to automatically set the entry title to the URL and not print the URL after it. Here is a minimal: \startbuffer[testdata] @Article{wikipedia2024_depeche_mode_sounds_of_the_universe, author = {{Wikipedia contributors}}, title = {Sounds of the Universe}, year = {2024}, url = {https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sounds_of_the_Universe&oldid=1224785220}, note = "[Online; accessed 20-May-2024]" } \stopbuffer % Setup bibliography... % Select References.bib and name it the main database... \usebtxdataset[main][testdata.buffer] % Citation style... \usebtxdefinitions[apa] % Use our main dataset for citations... \setupbtx[dataset=main] \definebtxrendering[main][apa][dataset=main] \setupbtxrendering[main][ pagestate=start, continue=yes, numbering=yes] % Macro to put the citations as footnotes... \unexpanded\def\footnotecite{\dodoubleempty\domycite} \def\domycite[#1][#2]% {\ifsecondargument \footnote{\alwayscite[alternative=entry,#1][main::#2]}% \else \footnote{\alwayscite[alternative=entry][main::#1]}% \fi} \starttext Some footnote.\footnotecite[wikipedia2024_depeche_mode_sounds_of_the_universe] \stoptext The footnote renders like so: Wikipedia contributors (2024). Sounds of the Universe. Retrieved from https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sounds_of_the_Universe&oldid =1224785220 ([Online; accessed 20-May-2024]) It would look much better if it looked like so: Wikipedia contributors (2024). Sounds of the Universe. ([Online; accessed 20-May-2024]) ...where "Sounds of the Universe" is linked to the URL in the BibTeX database. Is this possible to do? -- Kip Warner OpenPGP signed/encrypted mail preferred https://www.thevertigo.com

upgrade problem, more info
by jbf 20 Jun '24

20 Jun '24

I should give a little more info on the upgrade problem. My system is Linux (Mint). Context installed at /home/jbf/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/context Current version after upgrade : 2024.06.18 22:04 I tried reinstalling, but same result: error, no format found with name: cont-en, aborting And the simpler fact is that everything worked as normal before I upgraded. I tried deleting texmf-cache, running mtxrun -- generate and context --make but problem still persists. Don't know if it is relevant but after running context --make I see an error line: lua error > lua error on line 18 in file typo-lin.mkxl: But that would seem to be a different error to the 'no format found....' error. Or is it? Julian
