\registerhyphenationexception not working
by Jano Kula 07 Mar '20

07 Mar '20

Hello Hans, \registerhyphenationexception as described in latest languages-mkiv.pdf and i-context.pdf does nothing, contrary to \startexceptions, which behaves as expected. Here is the minimal example: \mainlanguage[cs] \showmakeup[discretionary] \registerhyphenationexception[cs][cíl-em]% % \startexceptions[cs] % cíl-em % \stopexceptions \startTEXpage cílem \stopTEXpage By the way, what is the reason to print \showlayout on four pages? Regards, Jano

color

Hi, As a side effect of svg color manipulations (experiments by ms and me) the next release will have support for hbw colors: {\directcolored[h=.1,b=.2,w=.1]\blackrule[width=3cm,height=3cm]} {\directcolored[h=.1,b=.2,w=.2]\blackrule[width=3cm,height=3cm]} {\directcolored[h=.1,b=.2,w=.4]\blackrule[width=3cm,height=3cm]} {\directcolored[h=.2,w=.1,w=.2]\blackrule[width=3cm,height=3cm]} {\directcolored[h=.2,w=.2,w=.2]\blackrule[width=3cm,height=3cm]} {\directcolored[h=.2,w=.3,w=.2]\blackrule[width=3cm,height=3cm]} not that useful as it's kind of hard to predict but anyway. Just in case someone needs it (which then makes a volunteer for wikifying it).

[preventing blackrule tp break line]
by Floris van Manen 06 Mar '20

06 Mar '20

Using lmtx, while trying to get multiple pieces of black rule on one line, for some reason the line breaks after the first item, to continue on the second line with the remainder. \starttext \blackrule[width=15mm,height=1mm,depth=0mm,color=yellow]\quad% \blackrule[width=15mm,height=1mm,depth=0mm,color=red]\quad% \blackrule[width=15mm,height=1mm,depth=0mm,color=green]\quad% \blackrule[width=15mm,height=1mm,depth=0mm,color=blue]\quad \blackrule[width=15mm,height=1mm,depth=0mm,color=yellow]\quad% \blackrule[width=15mm,height=1mm,depth=0mm,color=red]\quad% \blackrule[width=15mm,height=1mm,depth=0mm,color=green]\quad% \blackrule[width=15mm,height=1mm,depth=0mm,color=blue]\quad \stoptext What is the proper way to do it? .F

Second derivative ''
by Weber, Matthias 05 Mar '20

05 Mar '20

Dear List, \starttext \startformula \left(f\right)'' = f'' \stopformula \stoptext has the second apostrophe set too low. This is in MKIV on ConTeXt live as well as in my slightly older version. What is the “right” way to typeset a second derivative? Thanks, Matthias

Hi all, in composed words in Czech and Slovak languages, the hyphen must be repeated at the beginning of the new line. How can I make it hanging at the left margin? Tomáš % for repeating the hyphen \definebreakpoints[czcompound] \definebreakpoint[czcompound][-][nleft=3,nright=3,type=4] \def\mylanguage{cs} \appendtoks \ifx\mylanguage\currentlanguage \setbreakpoints[czcompound] \else \resetbreakpoints \fi \to\everylanguage \def\mylanguage{sk} \appendtoks \ifx\mylanguage\currentlanguage \setbreakpoints[czcompound] \else \resetbreakpoints \fi \to\everylanguage \starttext\showframe \hsize1dd modro-zelený %blue-green \stoptext

unwanted <break/> with epub
by Hans van der Meer 05 Mar '20

05 Mar '20

In producing epub <break/>s are appearing (on the -raw.xml file) that are unwanted and seem spurious to me. For example aftersome macro's. Can someone tell me what triggers a <break/>? In the pdf output such breaks are absent. dr. Hans van der Meer

Re: [NTG-context] Capitalize first word of first line within \startlines
by Thangalin 05 Mar '20

05 Mar '20

If it helps, here's why I thought it would work: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/definefirstline The wiki page shows that the macro takes a style option. The style option links to: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Style_Alternatives This page has a list of predefined styles and describes how to set up an alternative style: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Style_Alternatives#Defining_a_Style_Alternat… >From the wiki page: \definealternativestyle [head:neat] [\WORD] [] While \definealternativestyle[PoemFirstWord][{\bf\uppercasing}][] will work for my needs, I am concerned that it is inconsistent wrt wiki documentation, and also appears to expose an inconsistent API, as it were. Is there any way to make the two conform to the same usage? That is, it was not obvious (from the wiki) that I could not use "WORD" as an alternative style even though it is literally listed and used as an alternative style. Thanks again!

Capitalize first word of first line within \startlines
by Thangalin 04 Mar '20

04 Mar '20

Looking to uppercase the first word of a poem: \setupindenting[yes, 0.75em] \setupinitial[ state=start, n=2, distance=\zeropoint, ] % This does not appear to work? \definealternativestyle[PoemFirstWord][\WORD][] \definefirstline[PoemFirstLine][ alternative=word, style=PoemFirstWord, n=1, ] \definestartstop[poem][ before={\startlines \setfirstline[PoemFirstLine] \placeinitial}, after={\stoplines}, ] \setuplines[indenting=odd] \starttext \startpoem Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. >From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great, And would suffice. \stoppoem \stoptext Any ideas why the first word is not capitalized? Thank you!

Quick question about dual output pdf and epub
by Christoph Hintermüller 04 Mar '20

04 Mar '20

Hi Hust not to miss something or mess up every thing. Can i setup my document preamble such that i can without any switching create pdf and epub output at the same time. Want to provide my lecture notes in pdf and epub format. In other words does it have any side effects on pdf output, if i put \setuptoutput command preparing document for xhtml/epub output in my document preamble/main document? Or would i have to enclose this in some \ifelse conditional block? If is there a possibility to control condition from mtxrun command line? Best Xristoph
