something between packed and "small"??
by Mike Cooper 01 Jul '20

01 Jul '20

Me again... I've got an itemize that needs to fit on one page. I've been using inbetween={\blank[small]} for all the other analogous lists but this one is longer and with that spacing, it goes about one inch onto the next page. But if I use packed, the list is way too crammed together and there's about 2.5 inches of extra space on the page! How do I go smaller than small? Is there a "lightly packed"? Or other degrees? I've tried \blank[1mm] and other dimensions but nothing will go smaller than small... :-( THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!

Wiki ConText Installation updated
by Taco Hoekwater 01 Jul '20

01 Jul '20

Hi all, Today I updated the ConText behind wiki.contextgarden.net, live.contextgarden.net and source.contextgarden.net to the current latest: 2020.06.30 17:30. * The wiki’s <context> tag now defaults to “lmtx” mode, and you can switch back to “mkiv“ using the “mode” attribute. The “mkii” mode is no longer working. * The wiki’s <syntax> now supports the latest ConText as well, and I added support for all the “system-level” commands. Also the colors have changed a little and generated commands now have a link back to generating command. * the live website always run lmtx. * the source website’s software has been improved a little as well; I have updated the documentation page accordingly. Happy TeXing, Taco

Avoid indentation after \typebuffer
by Mikael Sundqvist 01 Jul '20

01 Jul '20

Hi, I want to avoid indentation after \typebuffer (or set indentnext to auto perhaps). I am probably missing something simple, but I thought that the example file below should have worked: \setupindenting[yes,medium] \setuptyping[buffer][ indentnext=no, ] \starttext \startbuffer \startformula \int_a^b f'(x)\,dx \stopformula \stopbuffer \typebuffer I do not want this line to be indented. \stoptext Compiled with an updated lmxt, and resulting pdf file is attached. /Mikael

\hideframe to cancel \showframe
by Mikael Sundqvist 01 Jul '20

01 Jul '20

Hi, say that I, for educational purposes, want to use \showframe for a couple of pages, and then want to hide the frames. What is the correct way of doing this? I have for now added a \begingroup and \endgroup, but then another document parameter that is set inside is cancelled after the \endgroup. I tried to look in the source, but could not find anything that worked (what I tried with was to use \setupbackgrounds[state=stop], but that was merely a guess, and it did not work). /Mikael

Translation of ConTeXt interface
by Garulfo 30 Jun '20

30 Jun '20

Thanks a lot Wolfang for your answer. I have 5 additional questions... sorry. ----------------------------------------------------------- >> \placeFLOAT becomes \placerFLOAT >> \startplaceFLOAT becomes \debutplacerFLOAT >> \placerchemical becomes \placerchemical >> \startplacerchemical becomes \debutplacerchemical >\placefigure is a combination of the element "place" (\e!place) and the > variable "figure" (\v!figure) >\startplacefigure is a combination of the elements "start" (\e!start) >and "place" (\e!place) and the variable "figure" (\v!figure.) So, I'm still doing something wrong, because changing the translation of "figure" in "mult-def.lua" (in the part "variables"), only affect : 1- command "\startfigure \stopfigure" 2- "figure" in "\setuppageinjection" > alternative = figure buffer... ----------------------------------------------------------- I get another difficulty with \startitemize and \stopitemize the translation of the variable "itemize" has no impact on the setup-fr.pdf file produced with : context --interface=fr --global --result=setup-fr x-setups-overview.mkiv But, I just found that if I actually use the translated commands in a test.tex file, it just works. % interface=fr \debuttexte \debutlister \elem first \elem second \finlister \fintexte What should I do in order to have a setup-fr.pdf file that shows the translations actually available ? ----------------------------------------------------------- With the translation of the command textwidth, I can use "largeur=0.5\largeurtexte" (cool !) But this command is not listed in setup-fr.pdf. Is there a way to add these basic commands to setup-fr.pdf ? ----------------------------------------------------------- Math. I get the following error : fonts > preloading latin modern fonts (second stage) fonts > defining > font with asked name 'fichier' is not found using lookup 'file' fonts > defining > unknown font 'fichier', loading aborted I suppose that due to the translation of "file" to "fichier". It's OK when I switch back to - setupstrings cd:file ==> file - variables file ==> file How can I translate the variable "file" into fichier, without messing with fonts (and maybe other file related functions) ----------------------------------------------------------- > Delimited command are problematic (especially when they change > catcodes), e.g. \startluacode use \stopluacode as hard coded delimiter > for the environment. While it is easy to create a synonym for > \startluacode this isn't the case for \stopluacode because the > environment always look for \stopluacode as stopper and alternative > names are ignored. \startsection \stopsection and \startformula \stopformula seem OK. How can I identify the delimited commands that should not be translated in order to avoid this issue. ----------------------------------------------------------- Thanks again

Fwd: Continued fractions in ConTeXt
by Jairo A. del Rio 30 Jun '20

30 Jun '20

Hi list! I've tried adapting the following code for continued fractions: %https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/73195/how-to-typeset-a-continued-fraction-in-the-following-format \documentclass{article}\usepackage{amsmath} \begin{document}\newcommand*{\cofrac}[2]{% {% \rlap{$\dfrac{1}{\phantom{#1}}$}% \genfrac{}{}{0pt}{0}{}{#1+#2}% }%}\[ a_0 + \cofrac{a_1}{ \cofrac{a_2}{ \cofrac{a_3}{ \genfrac{}{}{0pt}{0}{}{\ddots} }}}\]\end{document} As I could read from the mailing list, ConTeXt no longer supports \genfrac, so I've tried the following using \definemathfraction \definemathfraction[gefrac][cfrac] \setupmathfraction[gefrac][rule=no] \def\cofrac#1#2{% {% \rlap{\cfrac{1}{\displaystyle\phantom{#1}}}% \gefrac{}{\displaystyle\gefrac{#1+}{}#2}% }% } \def\cofracnorule#1#2{% {% \rlap{\gefrac{\displaystyle\phantom{1}}{\displaystyle\phantom{#1}}}% \gefrac{}{\displaystyle\gefrac{#1}{}#2}% }% } \def\endfrac#1{\cofracnorule{#1}{\phantom{1}}} \startTEXpage \startplacefigure[location=force,number=no] \externalfigure[cofrac.png] \stopplacefigure \startformula \alpha + \cofrac{\alpha'}{\cofrac{\alpha''}{\cofrac{\alpha'''}{{\endfrac{\ddots}}}}} \frac{1}{\alpha'''} \stopformula \stopTEXpage Mmm, superscripts and fraction rules superpose, so indeed something is wrong. Any ideas or references to a better result? I've attached the expected result (it's from Legendre's Théorie des nombres) and a normal fraction for comparison. Thank you very much. Jairo :)

Re: [NTG-context] CONTEXT for OpenBSD 6.7

I just want to be sure that files will soon be available and that no mistake slipped in when you uploaded the files. Thank you for all your work! Actually, I just generated installer zips for 6.7 as mOjca got it all working. We dropped 6.5 in the process. (At some point the garden can have these installer files too as they are just files with no further dependencies but there has to be a dns or web server entry for it then.)

Commands with arguments before in ConTeXt
by Jairo A. del Rio 30 Jun '20

30 Jun '20

I've read the following is not possible in TeX \def#1\macro{blabla#1} where arguments come before. The only partial exceptions are commands like \atop or \over, which are in fact primitives. Is there a way to do this in ConTeXt? Could it be a feature request for LuaMetaTeX? I've seen Hans experimenting a lot with new primitives and new possibilities for arguments, like #0 and co., so I ask in case it's not too nonsensical to propose it. Regards Jairo :)

missing command for xmlinfo in latest?
by Pablo Rodriguez 29 Jun '20

29 Jun '20

Dear list, I have the following sample: \startbuffer[demo] <document> text </document> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups xml:demo:base \xmlsetsetup{#1}{document}{xml:demo:doc} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:demo:base} \startxmlsetups xml:demo:doc \xmlinfo{#1} \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{demo}{} \stoptext It crashes with latest form 2020.06.29 19:47, because of the use of \xmlinfo and some undefined command. Could anyone confirm the issue? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
