problem since previous versions
by Hans van der Meer 07 Jun '20

07 Jun '20

A problem has arisen up since previous versions, where code without a problem now raises an error. This is the afflicted code: % Assign values to \locationbox. \doif{top}{\placexlocation}% {\def\startlocationbox{\vtop\bgroup\vss}}% \doif{center}{\placexlocation}% {\def\startlocationbox{\vcenter\bgroup}}% \doif{bottom}{\placexlocation}% {\def\startlocationbox{\vbox\bgroup}}% And it is used here: \setbox\placexbox=\startlocationbox \ignorespaces Previously this worked without a hitch, now the error is: tex error > tex error on line 9 in file ./familie-events.tex: ! A <box> was supposed to be here <to be read again> \vcenter \startlocationbox ->\vcenter \bgroup \dostartcontentplacexinline ...ables \par \setbox \placexbox =\startlocationbox \ignorespaces <to be read again> \syst_helpers_single_empty_one_nop \xmlflush \21>:xmlplc:placexcontent ...le=\xmlatt {#1}{alttitle}]}\startcontent \xmlflush {#1}\stopcontent l.9 } I can try to make a minimal example, but not without the afflicted module of some 800 lines. So perhaps the problem will be located by the experts at first sight. It is of course the \vcenter playing havoc, because replacing it by \vtop or \vbox makes the error disappear. Thanks for looking into it, because my work more or less depends on this code working in good order. dr. Hans van der Meer

errors in margindata?
by Hans van der Meer 07 Jun '20

07 Jun '20

I gues there are errors in \margindata. See the minimal example. The contextversion is fresh loaded just before this test. (1) \margindata{test} gives an error. The log message is: tex error > tex error on line 9 in file ./margindata.tex: ! Use of \typo_margins_data_yes doesn't match its definition l.9 \margindata{ text1}% One has to use \margindata[]{test} to avoid the error. (2) \margindata[]{test} has spurious whitespace, \margindata[]{test}% must be used to avoid that. Below the minimal example and the output. met vriendelijke groet dr. Hans van der Meer

Setup left, right, between entries in custom cite of multiple references
by Mike O'Connor 06 Jun '20

06 Jun '20

I'm trying to customise \cite and unable to get inbetween= to appear between entries in a multi-ref citation. My own customisations via a copy of publ-imp-apa.mkvi and .lua have this problem, so in case it was due to my customisation I went back to solid ground — the Chemistry example, pp. 70-74 in the Publications manual (http://pragma-ade.nl/general/manuals/mkiv-publications.pdf) The cite examples on p.74 work as shown, but when I add each of the following: \cite [name][108-95-2,566-33-5]\par \cite [formula][108-95-2,566-33-5]\par \cite [chemical][108-95-2,566-33-5]\par \cite [molarvolume][108-95-2,566-33-5,24599-57-3]\par I simply get the citation details, no separator between, and no left or right. Either of the following works for left= and right=. However inbetween= does not activate, and similarly for separator:2, separator:3, separator:4. \definebtx [chemistry:cite:formula] [left={\color[blue]{(}}, % the colour to differentiate from \setupbtx below right={\color[red]{)}}, inbetween={\btxcomma\btxspace}, % no effect ] \setupbtx [chemistry:cite:formula] [left={(}, right={)}, inbetween={\btxcomma\btxspace}, ] Grateful for any guidance as to how I can remedy this issue. Regards, and thanks, Mike

Two issues with respect to sections in ConTeXt
by Jairo A. del Rio 06 Jun '20

06 Jun '20

First: I made the following question wrt swapping section labels and section numbers: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/547761/how-to-swap-section-labels-a… What I tried to do is the following section structure 1. Chapter (Name of chapter) 1. 2 Section (Name of section) Wolfgang Schuster offered the following solution for chapters in Spanish, thanks :) \setuplabeltext[es][chapter={, capítulo}] However, I asked if there is a way to use predefined section labels according to chapters, sections, parts, etc. e.g. Chapter (EN) or Capítulo (ES) without manually writing a \setuplabeltext for every language, so he suggested that I move my question here and there we are. Second: The TeX command \S (section mark) seems to be insensitive to font size commands. I've tried with \setuphead[section][sectionstarter=\S] And the sign is smaller than the surrounding letters. I thought it was a matter of font design, but I've tried \setuphead[section][sectionstarter=§] And it worked. My question is: why? Is it a bug or a feature with respect to \S? I'm using ConTeXt MKIV version 2020.05.25 23:39 with LuaTeX Thank you in advance Jairo :D

Installing Modules with ConTeXt LMTX
by Sebastian Miele 06 Jun '20

06 Jun '20

I want to try the t-letter module. I have a fresh install of ConTeXt LMTX from today. The page https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Modules has sections "Installation by hand" and "ConTeXt standalone", but no section on ConTeXt LMTX. The section on ConTeXt standalone mentions a --modules switch to first-setup.sh in order to include modules. This cannot work with the install.sh from ConTeXt LMTX, as it does not pass any command line arguments to mtxrun. install.sh does have an empty by default variable LMTXEXTRAS at the top, which is passed as --extras="$LMTXEXTRA" to bin/mtx-install.lua near the bottom of the script. However, setting LMTXEXTRAS=t-letter seems to not work. Searching through the bin/mtx-install.lua for "modules" and "extras" reveals that most probably neither flag is handled at all. However, the helpinfo variable in bin/mtx-install.lua does mention the modules flag, but not the extras flag. Is there a way to install modules in ConTeXt LMTX not by hand?

\frac and vertical spacing issue in mathfractions
by Alan Bowen 06 Jun '20

06 Jun '20

In the current beta ( LuaMetaTeX, Version 2.06.05), \m{\frac{28}{8\times29}} puts the numerator and denominator too close to the dividing line. Similarly for the variants of \frac and \over. \m{{28}\over{8\times29}} Alan

reduced space below chapter title
by jbf 02 Jun '20

02 Jun '20

Hi list, I am attempting to achieve, for every second chapter, to have only one line of space between the chapter title and the text that follows. I looked at the following example in the wiki: \setuppapersize[A6][A6] \setupbodyfont[8pt] \def\MyChapterCommand#1#2% {\vbox to 4cm\bgroup {#1\hskip.75em #2} \vss \egroup} \setuphead[chapter][header=nomarking, command=\MyChapterCommand] \starttext \chapter{test} \input tufte \stoptext and presumed that I could adjust that to something like 1cm instead of 4cm. The problem is that when I try to process the original example, I get a fatal error at the line which reads \chapter{test} \input tufte. I'm not sure why that error, but that aside, would the \def\MyChapterCommand approach suggested above be the right way to achieve my purpose? In other words, I want the text that follows the chapter title to follow immediately for specific chapters, rather than the considerable vertical space that follows the default setup for chapter titles.
