This is one way (from the wiki): \startitemize[a][left=(,right=),stopper=] \item 1234 \item 5678 \item 9876 \stopitemize HTH, John

LMTX lua xml interface: xml.tag()?
by Gerben Wierda 02 Jun '20

02 Jun '20

According to the mkiv manual, there is a \xmltag which I think should translate to xml.tag() in lua. But while xml.name() works, xml.tag() fails: attempt to call a nil value (field 'tag') Should xml.tag() work? G

spacing between chapters in TOC
by jbf 01 Jun '20

01 Jun '20

Hi list, I want my table of contents to look like: Chapter 1 section 5 section 10 section 15 In other words with section items indented. I presumed I would need to do something with \setuplist[section]. I know how to control interline distance, whitespace, but in this instance, not indentation of certain lines in a toc. I tried \setuplist[section][indenting=yes] and even indentation=yes in the hope that existed. It doesn't, at least not used this way. But it must be simple enough to achieve? Julian

Two questions concerning numerals in ConTeXt
by Jairo A. del Rio 01 Jun '20

01 Jun '20

Hi, everybody. I expect you to be safe. I found the following issues. *First. *The following gives wrong results for Spanish numbers \mainlanguage[es] \starttext \convertnumber{words}{100} %Prints "ciento" instead of "cien" \convertnumber{words}{2000000} %Prints "dos millón" instead of "dos millones" \stoptext I've read other messages from the list concerning numerals and I found the following in core-con.lua [100] = "ciento", [1000000] = "millón", [1000000000] = "mil millones", [1000000000000] = "billón", "cien" (for numbers from 100 to 199) and "millones" (for numbers from 2 000 000 to 999 999 999 999) are missing (no issue with "billón", as Lua doesn't seem to handle too big numbers natively). *Second. *I tried to use Unicode tally marks (U1D377 and U1D378): \definefont[tallyfont][babelstonehan] %\mainlanguage[es] \startluacode userdata = userdata or {} userdata.tallymarks = function(n) local one = [[\char"1D377]] --Also tried "\u{1D377}" local five = [[\char"1D378]] --Also tried "\u{1D377}" return string.rep(five, (tonumber(n)//5))..string.rep(one, (tonumber(n)%5)) end \stopluacode \def\tallymarks#1{\ctxlua{userdata.tallymarks("#1")}} \starttext \tallyfont \tallymarks{47} \stoptext This works on Lua 5.4.0 (rc4) interpreter, but it doen't on ConTeXt LMTX nor LuaTeX and codes are printed instead (1D3781D378...). What is weird considering that \starttext \char"1D377 \stoptext gives the right output with an adequate font. Btw, I know about the Metafun alternative described on the book, but I'd prefer to use Unicode when possible. Thank you in advance. Jairo :D

Writing the caption above figures in combinations
by Otared Kavian 01 Jun '20

01 Jun '20

Hi all, Is it possible to write the individual captions for each element of a combination of floats above it, while the caption for the figure appears below? \startplacefigure[title={A combination of three figures}] % this title appears below the figure \startcombination[3*1] {\externalfigure[image-1.pdf][width=4cm]}{a} % a appears above image-1 {\externalfigure[image-2.pdf][width=4cm]}{b} % b appears above image-2 {\externalfigure[image-3.pdf][width=4cm]}{c} % c appears above image-3 \stopcombination}{} \stopplacefigure I tried to define a new float, say myfigure, which has captions below and then I tried \setupcaptions[location=top] and \setupcombinations[location=top] but this does not work… Thanks for any help: Otared

background of \typing fills column
by Henning Hraban Ramm 01 Jun '20

01 Jun '20

Hi, I finally wanted to attack CG journal 2019 again and stumble upon this error: If an article contains several \starttyping ... \stoptyping examples with a textbackground, it sometimes fills the whole column (pagecolumns). It doesn’t occur if the "typing" is at top or bottom of the column or even breaks. It’s the same with MkIV and LMTX. I’ll try to come up with a MWE, but perhaps you already know what’s wrong? Here’s the PDF: https://sedna.fiee.net/f/a75380127d7b4f17a940/ Best, Hraban

status of t-rst
by Saša Janiška 01 Jun '20

01 Jun '20

Hello, yesterday when browsing new ConTeXt site (yay!!) I found about the existance of 't-rst' to be used for typesetting files written in reST markup. However the referenced web site (https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-rst/src/default/) shows last activity 6yrs ago, so wonder if it is still relevent today or obsolete? The static-site-generator (Nikola) which I use for web stuff has good support for rst markup, so just wonder(ed) if I could continue using it for short stuff which *might* become typeset with ConTeXt one day? Nikola does support using Markdown markup as well and it's usually possible to do rst --> md by e.g. using Markdown, but just wonder... Sincerely, Gour -- He who is satisfied with gain which comes of its own accord, who is free from duality and does not envy, who is steady in both success and failure, is never entangled, although performing actions.

MKIV to LMTX (enumerations)
by Weber, Matthias 31 May '20

31 May '20

Dear List, After staying with a frozen MKIV version for time-critical work for a while, I took the plunge and ran one of my longer math-heavy documents through LMTX. To my delight, it mostly looks fine or trivially fixable. There is one problem I have with enumerations. The spacing between them in LMTX is notoriously smaller than in MKIV. I bet there is a parameter I can set to tweak that? Below is a MWE with output for both engines. Thanks! Matthias

Unicode chars and \insertpages (Win7)
by Pablo Rodriguez 31 May '20

31 May '20

Dear list, I have the following sample: \startext \insertpages[ξ_file.pdf] \stoptext Using latest on Linux, it works perfectly fine. On Windows (I’m still on Win7), it doesn’t work unless I replace "ξ" with an ASCII character. Could this be fixed or is it really a limiatation of Windows? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
