Index range with page number suffix
by Duncan Hothersall 24 Sep '20

24 Sep '20

(Using mkiv.) I have an index in which some entries need suffixes on the page numbers, for which I have used processors. For index ranges, I need the page number suffix only to appear on the end page number, not the start page number. The below MWE produces an index entry: sausage 1i-2i What I need is: sausage 1-2i Is this possible? MWE \defineprocessor[important][right={\it{i}}] \starttext \samplefile{knuth} \startregister[index][sausage][important->sausage]{sausage} \dorecurse{6}{\samplefile{knuth}} \stopregister[index][sausage]{sausage} \samplefile{knuth} \page \placeindex \stoptext Thanks in advance, Duncan

Arabic support
by Denis Maier 23 Sep '20

23 Sep '20

Hi Just wondering what the current support for Arabic is. Does anyone know? My document works fine for Hebrew and I've just added a new fontfallbac: \definefallbackfamily[mainface][rm][Scheherazade] [range=arabic, force=yes, features=arabic] Bidi is activated with \setupdirections[bidi=global,method=unicode] Is that enough for Arabic? Or are there other things I need to take care of? E.g. searching in the mailing-list archive I found this message: https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg78573.html > You have to set the bidi settings again for the footnotes because > the notes mechanism resets many of these setups. > \startsetups[note:footnote] > \setupdirections[bidi=global] > \stopsetups > > \setupnote[footnote][setups=note:footnote] % align=righttoleft Is that still true? Anything else I need to be aware of? Best, Denis

Debug mode for XML processing
by Denis Maier 23 Sep '20

23 Sep '20

Hi, Is there are debug mode for XML processing? I'm thinking of something where the XML mapping gets applied to your XML, and you receive a tex file as the output. Could sometimes be easier to see where things go off the rails. Best, Denis

issue with interaction=all and \insertpages
by Pablo Rodriguez 23 Sep '20

23 Sep '20

Dear list, I have the following sample: \setuplayout[page] \setupinteraction [state=start, color=, contrastcolor=, focus=standard] \enabledirectives[references.border=red] \setupexternalfigures[interaction=all, method=pdf] \setupinteractionscreen[option={portrait, paper}] \starttext %~ \insertpages[http://gaceta.rsme.es/abrir.php?id=1495][width=0pt] \insertpages[GacRSocMatEsp.pdf][width=0pt] \stoptext I have some issues with it. 1. For some strange reason, the first \insertpages command with a remote file cannot deal with the interaction from the file (no internal or external links). 2. The local file includes internal destinations to page parts. After imposition, destinations to page for internal links cannot reach the page parts as links in original document do. 3. Even external links are converted. On last page, https://www.cs.umb.edu/~offner/files/pi.pdf is rewritten as https://www.cs.umb.edu/õffner/files/pi.pdf. Besides the rewritten link, would it be possible that links are added so they reach the same destinations as their source PDF document? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

How to shift unnumbered ToC entry?
by Lukas/ConTeXt 23 Sep '20

23 Sep '20

Hello, how do I shift unnumbered ToC entry (here: \subsubsection)? My attempt: ---- \setuphead[subsubsection][number=no] \setuplist[subsubsection][distance=20mm,width=20mm] \starttext \placecontent \page \section{S} \subsection{Ss} \subsubsection{Sss} \stoptext ---- I'm getting: " 1. S 1.1 Ss Sss " but I'd rather see: " 1. S 1.1 Ss Sss " How to achieve this? Best regards, Lukas

Full page image and caption in another page?
by José de Mattos Neto 23 Sep '20

23 Sep '20

Hi, it's my first message on this list. I've searched in ConTeXt manuals, TeX.SX and here, but couldn't find a way to achieve these 4 requirements altogether: 1. Place a figure as full-page figure 2. Change orientation accordingly (if it's a landscape PDF, for instance) 3. Make that using \setupfloat (or other setup), not directly in \placefloat 4. Place captions in another page (ideally on opposite page) Problems: - I can't get # 1 and # 3 at same time - \setupfloat doesn't have before option, which I could use to change orientation - I have no idea how to accomplish # 4 A minimal working example (PDF in attachment): %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \definepapersize[default][A4, portrait] \definelayout[default][topspace=0.6cm, topdistance=0cm, header=1cm, headerdistance=0cm, height=27.3cm, footer=0cm, backspace=4.2cm, width=13.6cm] \setuppapersize[default] \setuplayout[default] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided, location={header}] \setupexternalfigures[location={default}] \definepapersize[rotate][A4, landscape] \definefloat[bigfigure][bigfigures][figure] \setupfloat[bigfigure][default={page}, width=1\textwidth, height=1\textheight, before={\setuppapersize[rotate]}] % there's no before in setupfloat \setupcaption[bigfigure][location={opposite}] % there's no opposite location in setupcaption \starttext \showframe \dorecurse{2}{\input{knuth}} \setuppapersize[rotate] % this doesn't work because is in same page \startplacebigfigure[title={A cow}]{\externalfigure[cow]}\stopplacebigfigure \setuppapersize[default] \dorecurse{2}{\input{knuth}} \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Thanks in advance!

Re: [NTG-context] issue with interaction=all and \insertpages
by Andres Conrado Montoya Acosta 22 Sep '20

22 Sep '20

I am also following this question and some related ones by Pablo with great interest, and it seems to me that it's falling through the cracks... so, I am asking again: is it possible to preserve links correctly when imposing / inserting pdf pages in ConTeXt?

PDF/A conformance
by Denis Maier 22 Sep '20

22 Sep '20

Hi, I need to produce PDF/a. I've followed the advice on the Wiki, and the file validates with: https://www.pdf-online.com/osa/validate.aspx But Acrobat complains about some problem with the XMP definition. Does anyone know more about this? Best, Denis

More table questions
by Denis Maier 22 Sep '20

22 Sep '20

Hi, I usually don't need tables, therefore this maybe stupid question: What is the currently recommended way to typeset tables? Still natural tables? Or extreme tables? (My tables won't be 30 pages long.) Also, how do you easiest define booktabs style tables? I mean: can you define tables such that the last row end with thicker lines without having to make this explicit? Is there a mechanism for this? (That would make the XML mapping much simpler.) Best Denis

Judeo-Arabic punctuation
by Denis Maier 22 Sep '20

22 Sep '20

Hi, I'm getting weird punctuation with a judeo-arabic text: ==================== %This gives correct results \definefontfamily[hebrew][rm][SBL Hebrew] [range=hebrew, force=yes, features=hebrew] \setupbodyfont[hebrew] % This doesn't %\definefallbackfamily[mainface][rm][SBL Hebrew] [range=hebrew, force=yes, features=hebrew] %\definefontfamily[mainface][rm][Tex Gyre Pagella] %\setupbodyfont[mainface] \setupalign[r2l] \setupdirections[bidi=global,method=unicode] \starttext פאדא וג̇ד אפעאל אללה תעאלי עלי ג̇איה̈ אלאחכאם ואלאתסאק נחו כלקה̈ אלאנסאן עלי עג̇יב צורתה ותכֿטיטה̈ וחואסה ומג̇ארי טעאמה ושראבה ותרכיב(ה) אעצ̇איה ותרתיבהא פי אמאכנהא וכמה קאל אלואלי ע׳אלס׳ הלא כֶֿחָלָבֿ ת[ת]יכֵֿני וכגבינה תקפיאני. עור ובשר תלבי[שני] ובעצמות וגידים תסוככני חיים וחסד [עשי]ת עמדי. ופקדתך שמרה [רוחי]. \stoptext =============================== The first setting produces correct punctuation. The second setting works well with regular Hebrew text, even with punctuation. But the special diacrital marks needed for judeo-arabic texts are misplaced with this settting. (I can only guess, but it has probably to do with the Unicode range that is covered by `range=hebrew`.) Best, Denis
