Hi How to put several blocks of text in the margin without them encroaching each other ? Thank.

No menu bar option for Adobe Reader
by Paul Schalck 01 May '19

01 May '19

Hi, I use the "Hide menu bar" option extensively in Adobe Acrobat Reader to get a cleaner interface. To this end, I usually hack lpdf-mis.lua after a ConTeXt upgrade to create a \setupinteractionscreen[option=nomenubar] switch. I wonder if it would be possible to add this little feature to the source code. Perhaps it can be useful to others as well. Greetings! Paul Attachment: patch + modified lpdf-mis.lua (from ConTeXt MkVI 2019.04.25)

underscore hyphenation in LMTX
by Pablo Rodriguez 01 May '19

Dear list, I have the following sample: \startluacode function document.addfunnyhyphen(tfmdata) local underscore = utf.byte("_") local char = tfmdata.characters[underscore] tfmdata.characters[0xFE000] = { width = 0, height = 0, depth = 0, commands = { { "right", -char.width }, { "down", char.depth }, { "slot", 1, underscore }, } } end utilities.sequencers.appendaction("aftercopyingcharacters","after", "document.addfunnyhyphen") \stopluacode \definehyphenationfeatures [whatever] [righthyphenchar="FE000] \setuphyphenation[method=traditional] \sethyphenationfeatures[strict, whatever] \setuppapersize[A10, lanscape] \starttext \startmakeup[standard] \hsize\zeropoint \tt definebodyfont \stopmakeup \stoptext I get the underscore hyphenation with latest ConTeXt beta (LuaTeX-1.10), but not with latest LMTX (LuaTeX-2.0). Am I missing something here? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

LMTX and system fonts
by Pablo Rodriguez 01 May '19

01 May '19

Dear list, fonts are my main problem using LMTX (on both Windows and Linux platforms). In Windows (I installed it again from scratch yesterday), system fonts (from c:/windows/fonts/) are simply ignored (I don’t know why). In Linux, a symlink in tex/texmf-fonts/ to the directory where fonts are stored doesn’t work either. The weird thing is that the ConTeXt Suite in both OSes works fine with system fonts or the mentioned symlink. What am I missing here? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

placetable and localfootnotes
by Otared Kavian 01 May '19

01 May '19

Hi Hans, It seems that there is a conflict between \startplacetable and \startlocalfootnotes: in the following example when the latter command (and its \stop counterpart) is commented out the table is placed correctly in the middle, while otherwise the table is not centered. Best regards: OK %%% begin localfootnotes-xtable.tex \startplacetable \startlocalfootnotes \startxtable \startxrow \startxcell Alpha \stopxcell \startxcell Beta\footnote{Footnote Here} \stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell Beta \stopxcell \startxcell Alpha\stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable \placelocalfootnotes \stoplocalfootnotes \stopplacetable %%% end localfootnotes-xtable.tex

file names lmtx
by John Kitzmiller 30 Apr '19

30 Apr '19

I just started testing with lmtx and this minor detail with different file names presented: fourth2.tex compiles to produce fourth2.pdf but fourth.2.tex compiles to produce fourth.pdf With mkiv I get fourth2.pdf and fourth.2.pdf Not a problem, just an observation.

PDF output routine in lmtx
by Christian Prim 30 Apr '19

30 Apr '19

Hi in lmtx the pdf output routine has changed afaik. I just wanted to report, that in lmtx our printer/copier (Ricoh 8200S or Ricoh 8110S) doesn't print any character. A standard document as the MWE prints well under mkiv. Under lmtx, there is no output (blank sheet). In a document with a tikz-figure, the tikz-figure (without labels, as they are text) is printed. Something with text output must have changed, that makes it incompatible with the copier at our school. I tried to print with different drivers and also used the printers interface (direct print via usb-stick). No success. Are they some flags I can play with (like other pdf-version or so) to find a solution to this problem? This "bug" prevents me to use lmtx at out school. MWE: \starttext That is a test. \stoptext Of course there is no problem with the preview and the output works on a HP-Printer. Many thanks for all suggestions! Christian

vertical justification of mixedcolumns

Hello list, in this MWE the columns are not aligned at the bottom, and they are not at the bottom of the page: \definevspacingamount[myBlank][5pt plus 5pt minus 2pt][5pt plus 5pt minus 2pt] \starttext \showgrid \startmixedcolumns[n=2,balance=yes] \dorecurse{2}{\input knuth \blank[myBlank]} Another paragraph to make columns uneven.\par\blank[myBlank] \dorecurse{3}{\input knuth \blank[myBlank]} \stopmixedcolumns \stoptext Is there a way to configure mixedcolumns so that \blank[myBlank] is stretched or shrinked to get the two columns end aligned at the bottom of the page? Thanks in advance, Massimiliano

registers: setting pageleft parameter by index term
by mf 29 Apr '19

29 Apr '19

Hello list, please consider this MWE: \definenumber[p] \setnumber[p][1] \def\PageLeft{ p.~} \def\TextCommand#1{\getnumber[p] #1\doif{\rawcountervalue[p]}{2}{\def\PageLeft{ P.~}}\incrementnumber[p]} \setupindex[n=1,pageleft=\PageLeft,pageright=,textcommand=\TextCommand] \starttext Foo\index{foo}. \page Bar\index{bar}. \page Baz\index{baz}. \page \placeindex \stoptext The pageleft parameter of \setupindex (\setupregister) is normally set to " p.~", but it gets redefined to " P.~" for the second term in the index ("baz"). Here i'm using a counter and i check when it is 2, but i'd like to check if the term is "baz" (and i don't know how to do that test). If you use deeptextcommand instead of textcommand, the pageleft parameter can't be redefined. The following variation compiles, but it does not work, because pageleft is always " p.~": \definenumber[p] \setnumber[p][1] \def\PageLeft{ p.~} \def\TextCommand#1{\getnumber[p] #1\doif{\rawcountervalue[p]}{2}{\def\PageLeft{ P.~}}\incrementnumber[p]} \setupindex[n=1,pageleft=\PageLeft,pageright=,deeptextcommand=\TextCommand] \starttext Foo\index{foo}. \page Bar\index{bar}. \page Baz\index{baz}. \page \placeindex \stoptext In my setup i must use deeptextcommand, and i want to set the pageleft and pageright parameters to a different value for some particular terms of the index. Since the argument passed to deeptextcommand is not the text of the term (it's actually an id used to retrieve a much longer text), i can discriminate the terms by their id, but i can't setup pageleft and pageright accordingly from the command specified by deeptextcommand. On the other hand, textcommand would let me set pageleft and pageright, but its argument is not pure text, and i don't know how to get the id from it. How can i solve this problem? Thanks, Massimiliano
