Hi, I'm new to context and found this ``` \installpagearrangement 1*4*reversed {\dosetuparrangement{2}{2}{4}{3}{3}% X,Y,Total,hcutmarks,vcutmarks \pusharrangedpageFOURSINGLESIDEDFOLDEDREVERSED\poparrangedpagesTWO\relax} \def\pusharrangedpageFOURSINGLESIDEDFOLDEDREVERSED#1% {\advancearrangedpageN \reportarrangedpage\arrangedpageN \ifcase\arrangedpageN \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}010\arrangedpageA % 1 rot,hskip,vskip \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}111\arrangedpageA % 2 \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}101\arrangedpageA % 3 \or \handlearrangedpageXandY{#1}000\arrangedpageA % 4 \poparrangedpages \fi} \setuppapersize [A10][A8] \setuparranging [1*4*reversed] \setuplayout [margin=0pt, width=fit] \showframe \starttext \dorecurse{8}{\vbox to \textheight{\vfill\midaligned{\tfd ABC}\vfill}\page} \stoptext ``` imposition scheme in the garden wiki and tried it out. Now i noticed that this sets the imposition scheme for *every* page, but i would like to have a different scheme on the second page (1*4), how do i set that (if this is even possible)? The result should look like ``` P4 P1 R3 R2 P5 P6 P7 P8 ``` where 5-8 should be on the back of 1-4 (double sided). Thanks in advacne for any help :) Malte

Indeed there is more checking. So, when you create a token you need to use a valid cmd code and a valid chr code. \ctxlua{ local t = token.new(string.byte("X"),token.command_id("letter")) tex.print(t) } The interface might evolve a bit more. Valid commands (at this moment) are: \ctxlua{ for k, v in ipairs(token.values("command")) do print(k,v) end } So, things like this should work \dimen3456=1234pt \dimen3467= \ctxlua{ local t = token.new(3456,token.command_id("register_dimen")) % local t = token.new("register_dimen",3456) % in upcoming version tex.sprint(t) } \the\dimen3467 As does: \ctxlua{ local t1 = token.new(string.byte("{"),token.command_id("letter")) local t2 = token.new(string.byte("}"),token.command_id("letter")) tex.print(t1) tex.print(t2) } Properties like cs_token_flag are not user level and have no meaning in the interface. In fact, the 'token-as-number' is just some representation with no intended meaning. Also, tokens that are problematic or can interfere badly might become inaccessible in future versions. (I don't expect many users to use the low level token interface anyway but it's there as part of the package.)

No dots in \dotfill with new font
by James Withers 17 Jun '20

17 Jun '20

Hello I've followed the instructions on the Context Garden wiki to make use of a different font. Unfortunately when using \dotfill the dots do not show up. My minimal example is below. I think this might be because \dotfill takes its dots from the math mode font which I have not set up correctly. Grateful for any assistance James \starttypescript [cormorant] \definefontsynonym[Cormorant-Regular] [file:Cormorant-Regular] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [cormorant] \setups[font:fallback:serif] \definefontsynonym[Serif] [Cormorant-Regular] [features=default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [cormorant] \definetypeface [cormorant] [rm] [serif] [cormorant] [default] \definetypeface [cormorant] [mm] [math] [cormorant] [default] \stoptypescript \setupbodyfont [cormorant] \starttext ..... text before dotfill\dotfill text after dotfill ..... \stoptext

issue with \comment
by Pablo Rodriguez 16 Jun '20

16 Jun '20

Dear list, when trying to report another issue, I found the following one (using latest from 2020.06.12 17:43): \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext a\contextversion \comment[location={rightmargin}]{comment} \stoptext For some strange reason, \comment isn’t added when there is no other content in the paragraph. I think it might be a bug. Could anyone confirm this? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Filter module for R
by Fabrice L 15 Jun '20

15 Jun '20

Hi, Following a question about the broken R module (R the statistical software), Aditya suggested me the filter module (thanks to him). I’m about to distribute a set of course notes to colleagues, and I need to deal with details now. I have one problem and two questions. 1) the filter collect R code between \startR / \stopR and submit this code to R. As it can be seen in the following minimal example, when a label contains an accented character (« Fréquence » in my example), the pdf graphic does not contains the « é ». Strangely, the snippet of code (which is saved locally as « test2-temp-R-0.tmp » (for test2.tex)) when submitted with the same command as the filtercommand, works correctly; that means the same file works when submitted to R outside of ConTeXt. I have no idea how to solve this. 2) In a teaching context, we may want sometimes to show the code. The filter module actually permits to show the output of the code submitted to R (which can include or not the input commands); would it be possible to typeset the submitted code ? 3) Finally, using "R CMD BATCH… » as the filtercommand add an extra line at the end of the output file which can be typeset to visualize results. Would it be possible by a magic trick to deleter the last line of the file ? Here is a minimal code: % ————————————————— \usemodule[filter] \defineexternalfilter [R] [ filtercommand={R CMD BATCH -q --no-timing --save --restore \externalfilterinputfile\space \externalfilteroutputfile}, output=\externalfilterbasefile.out, directory=output, readcommand=\typefile, read=no, cache=yes, purge=yes ] \starttext Some text... \startR[read=yes] pdf("RPlots/MyHistogram.pdf",5,5) X <- rnorm(200,mean=10,sd=2) hist(X, col = "red3" , xlab="Score QI" , main="", ylab="fréquence") \stopR \externalfigure[MyHistogram.pdf][width=.5\textwidth] \stoptext % ————————————————— Sorry for the three questions… and thanks for any help. Fabrice.
