ZapfDingbats Unicode differences MKIV vs LMTX
by Christoph Reller 22 Sep '20

22 Sep '20

Dear List, I have the following MWE: \definefontsynonym[ZapfDingbats][file:ZapfDingbats][features=dingbats] \usemodule [fnt-10] \starttext (1) \getglyphdirect{ZapfDingbats}{61491}\crlf % MKIV log: char  (U+0F033) in font 'ZapfDingbats-4' with id 8: missing (2) \getglyphdirect{ZapfDingbats}{983059} % LMTX log: char 󰀓 (U+F0013) in font 'ZapfDingbats-4' with id 8: missing \ShowCompleteFont{name:ZapfDingbats}{14pt}{1} \stoptext In MKIV, line (1) fails to output the requested glyph, while line (2) produces a "check" (✓). In LMTX, line (2) fails and line (1) produces the "check" (✓) . The output of "\ShowCompleteFont" reports differing Unicodes for the same glyphs. Apparently the Unicodes for ZapfDingbats have changed. I would like to have a "check" (✓) in the output for both MKIV and LMTX. Options: A) Is there a way to address the glyph in ZapfDingbats for both MKIV and LMTX uniformly, e.g. by glyph index? (By glyph name does not seem to work: MKIV reports glyph names, LMTX does not.) B) Is there a conditional that I can build into the source to distinguish between MKIV and LMTX? C) Is there a font in the distribution for which I can have a "check"-symbol in both MKIV and LMTX? Any help is appreciated! Cheers, Christoph

How to get the last item from an XML node
by Denis Maier 22 Sep '20

22 Sep '20

Hi struggling again: Shouldn't the code below give me the last element under <tbody>? Right now \xmlfilter{#1}{/tr/last()/command(xml:table:tbody:tr)} gives me nothing... (Use case is that I want to have a frame above the table and one bar below. So I think I should wrap the last line in the \startxtablefoot ...\stopxtablefoot, i.e., I need one command for the last element, and one for the rest (Or is there a better way?). What would be the everything but the last? What am I missing? Thanks again, Denis ================== \setupxtable[frame=off,split=yes] \setupxtable[head][topframe=on,bottomframe=on] \setupxtable[body][] \setupxtable[foot][bottomframe=on] \startbuffer[test] <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <article> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td>5</td> <td>A</td> </tr> <tr> <td>7</td> <td>B</td> </tr> <tr> <td>2</td> <td>C</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </article> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups xml:test \xmlsetsetup{#1}{*}{-} \xmlsetsetup{#1}{article}{xml:*} \xmlsetsetup{#1}{table}{xml:table} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:test} \startxmlsetups xml:article \starttext \xmlflush{#1} \stoptext \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:table \startembeddedxtable \xmlfilter{#1}{/tbody/command(xml:table:tbody)} \stopembeddedxtable \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:table:tbody \xmlfilter{#1}{/tr/last()/command(xml:table:tbody:tr)} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:table:tbody:tr \startxrow \xmlfilter{#1}{/td/command(xml:table:tbody:tr:td)} \stopxrow \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:table:tbody:tr:td \startxcell \xmlflush{#1} \stopxcell \stopxmlsetups \xmlprocessbuffer{test}{test}{} ==================

Dear Aditya, Jairo, Wolfgang, and Otared, Thank you for the replies and explanations. I also read the blog. In this case, using '##1’ is an easy way. For more complex table, I may use luacode. Thanks again. Best regards, Dalyoung

\dorecurse{}{} problem
by Jeong Dal 21 Sep '20

21 Sep '20

Hi, I tried to make a table using \dorecurse or \doloop as in the example. There is no error but \recurselevel is not increased, all are 0 in the first example and only two rows are created with the \recurselevel 0 and 2 only in the second example. Does the tabulate cause the error? What is wrong in this MWE? Thank you for reading.

Math fonts for Nimbus fonts
by Otared Kavian 21 Sep '20

21 Sep '20

Hi, I wish to use the Nimbus fonts, but since I didn't know which Math fonts is best adapted to this family, I tried several fonts such as Stix Math, TeX Gyre Math, and so on, but doing this the math-italic does not appear in these fonts: does this mean that I have to set explicitely math-italic in definefontfamily? Also what is the best math font adapted for Nimbus? Below is my definition of a fontfamily for Nimbus fonts. Thanks in advance for any help: Otared K %% begin definefontfamily-nimbus.tex \definefontfamily [mainface] [rm] [Nimbus Roman No9 L] \definefontfamily [mainface] [ss] [Nimbus Sans L] [rscale=0.85] \definefontfamily [mainface] [tt] [Nimbus Mono] [features=none,rscale=0.95] \definefontfamily [mainface] [mm] [STIX Math] %\definefontfamily [mainface] [mm] [Asana Math] %\definefontfamily [mainface] [mm] [Lucida Bright Math OT] %\definefontfamily [mainface] [mm] [TeX Gyre Termes Math] %\definefontfamily [mainface] [mm] [XITSMath] \setupmathematics[integral=nolimits,lcgreek=normal,default=normal] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext {\rm\tf Regular \it Italic \bf Bold \bi BoldItalic} {\ss\tf Regular \it Italic \bf Bold \bi BoldItalic} {\tt\tf Regular \it Italic \bf Bold \bi BoldItalic} And here are a few math formulas $\alpha^2 + \beta^2 + \gamma^2 = x^2 + y^2 + t^2$. \startformula \int_{0}^{2\pi} \sin(x)dx = 0, \qquad {\rm e}^{{\rm i}\pi} + 1 = 0, \qquad \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}{1 \over n^2} = {\pi^2 \over 6}. \stopformula \stoptext %% end definefontfamily-nimbus.tex

Extreme tables and XML conflict?
by Denis Maier 21 Sep '20

Parallel text support
by Denis Maier 21 Sep '20

21 Sep '20

Hi, I'm trying to typeset a parallel text that should appear in columns. The sources are XML, and there I have to use tables for this. So, I thought the easiest way is to use extreme tables for this: ========================= \starttext \dorecurse{3}{\input knuth} \startxtable[split=yes,frame=off] \startxrow \startxcell Text \stopxcell \startxcell Übersetzung \stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell \input ward \stopxcell \startxcell \input tufte \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable \stoptext ========================= However, as it turns out, split only seems to mean that the table is split between rows, individual rows stay on the same page. Is there a better approach? I've found the page-streams, but that seems to be too much... Best, Denis

Old-Style numerals command (\os) breaks conversion of hyphens to dashes
by Art Chimes 21 Sep '20

21 Sep '20

I have a fairly large document, 50-60 pp, with lots of numerals, including hundreds of dates. I wanted to see how it would look with old-style numbers and I assumed I could bracket the whole text section of the document within braces and apply the \os command. I didn't turn out as I expected, however. It did convert the numbers to old-style digits. But it also unexpectedly changed the em and en dashes back to hyphens, as they were entered in the source .tex document. MWE follows below. I could possibly do a search-and-replace but I am hoping there is a simpler way to do it.. I am using Libertinus Serif (which does support old style numerals) and columns, if that matters. Thank you. \starttext First two examples: Brackets surround text including digits, grouped hyphens are {\emph not} converted to en and em dashes. {\os Ford--Chevy 12345 Chrysler---Plymouth 67890 } \blank[line] Next two examples: Brackets surround just the digits, the grouped hypehns {\emph are} correctly converted to en and em dashes Honda--Toyota {\os 12345} Renault---Volkswagen {\os 67890} \stoptext

columns yet again
by Thomas A. Schmitz 20 Sep '20

20 Sep '20

Hi all, I hope everybody made it back home safely after the meeting. It was great listening in, even if I couldn't be there in person, unfortunately! Today's question is an old one, but I'm confused. What I need: two columns, of unequal width, the left column has line numbering; two column layout starts in the middle of pages. What I tried so far: 1. \defineparagraphs allows to have two paragraphs of unequal width, but the line numbering isn't visible: \setuppapersize[A4,landscape][A4,landscape] \setuplayout[grid=yes] \definelinenumbering [original] [step=2,location=text,align=flushright,distance=0.4cm,style=small,color=magenta] \defineparagraphs [Half] [n=2] \setupparagraphs [Half] [before=,after=,align=verytolerant] \setupparagraphs [Half] [1] [width=0.45\textwidth] \starttext \startlinenumbering [original] [start=4] Poetry One Word Per Line is Poetic \stoplinenumbering \nextHalf Prose translation \stopHalf \stoptext 2. columnsets:\usemodule[old-columnsets]: unequal width, but no line numbering: \usemodule [old-columnsets] \setuppapersize [A4,landscape][A4,landscape] \setuplayout [grid=yes] \definecolumnset [numbered] [n=2] \setupcolumnset [numbered] [distance=0.5cm,frame=on] \setupcolumnset [numbered:1] [width=4cm] \setupcolumnset [numbered:2] [width=10cm] \starttext \startcolumnset [numbered] \startlinenumbering[step=1,location=left] Poetry One Word Per Line is Poetic\par % needed, otherwise last line is not indented correctly \stoplinenumbering \column Two \stopcolumnset \stoptext 3. Same example without the first line: line numbers, but width is ignored; both columns are of width 0.5\textwidth. 4. page columns: always start at new page. 5. \startcolumns: like 3.; equal width. In addition, for reasons that are completely unclear to me, the example from the columnsets manual (p. 32) does not compile: \setuppapersize[A4,landscape][A4,landscape] \setuplayout[grid=yes] \showframe \definecolumnset[example][n=3,page=left] \setupbackgrounds[text][text][background=contrast] \setupcolumnset[frame=on,framecolor=color-4,rulethickness=1mm] \definecolor[fakerulecolor][white] \setupcolumnset[example:1][width=2cm] \setupcolumnset[example:2][width=4cm] \setupcolumnset[example:3][width=3cm] \setupcolumnset[example:4][width=3cm] \setupcolumnset[example:5][width=4cm] \setupcolumnset[example:6][width=6cm] \starttext \startcolumnset[example] \dorecurse{5}{ \dorecurse{3}{\fakewords{10}{15}\par} \column[yes] } \stopcolumnset \stoptext ends in "tex error > tex error on line 23 in file /tmp/test.tex: ! Undefined control sequence So I'm a bit confused: what I should use? What is the current status of the diverse columns environments? Have a nice Sunday! Thomas
