Isn't the name ConTeXt a bit search-engine unfriendly?
by Exp 19 Apr '19

19 Apr '19

Hi, ConTeXt is great but the pun of the name could cause unnecessary annoyance for newbies like me who need to google it a lot. Not sure if this is the right place to ask but is it possible to rename it to, like, ConTeX, in the future? Cheers, Exp

Font expansion breaks interword spacing
by Wolfgang Schuster 19 Apr '19

19 Apr '19

Hi, I have a document where I use font expansion to get better line breaks but as a result the spacing between the letters is completely messed up in some words. \definefontfeature [default] [default] [expansion=quality] \setupbodyfont [lucidaot] \setupalign [hz] \starttext \dorecurse{20}{appeared } \dorecurse{20}{around } \dorecurse{20}{accompanying } \stoptext Wolfgang

Hi, If I compile the following code, the result is not the one expected. \usemodule[tikz] \usetikzlibrary[matrix,decorations.pathreplacing, calc, positioning,fit] \starttext \starttikzpicture[>=stealth,thick,baseline, every right delimiter/.append style={name=rd}, ] \matrix [matrix of math nodes, left delimiter=(, right delimiter=), ](A){ a_{1,1} & a_{1,2} & \dots & a_{1,j} & \dots & a_{1,n}\\ a_{2,1} & a_{2,2} & \dots & a_{2,j} & \dots & a_{2,n}\\ \vdots & \vdots & & \vdots & & \vdots\\ a_{i,1} & a_{i,2} & \dots & a_{i,j} & \dots & a_{i,n}\\ \vdots & \vdots & & \vdots & & \vdots\\ a_{n,1} & a_{n,2} & \dots & a_{n,j} & \dots & a_{n,n}\\ }; \draw[<-] (rd)--++(0:6mm) node[right]{$i$-ième colonne}; \draw[<-] (A.south-|A-1-4.center) --++(-90:6mm) node[below]{$j$-ième colonne}; \stoptikzpicture \stoptext Thank you Fabrice

Imposition: 4 on 1, last 2 pages upside down
by Paul Schalck 18 Apr '19

18 Apr '19

Hello, I'm trying to get four small A6 pages on one A4 page (portrait) like this: 4 1 3 2 The last two pages should be upside down. This is my starting point: \setuppapersize[A6][A4] \setuparranging[1*4] Aside from the different page sequence, this rotates the last two pages, which is not what I'm looking for. Can anyone help me with this? Sorry if this has been covered before. I'm not very familiar with imposition. Greetings! Paul

Move footnotes without moving the footnotes-reference
by Huseyin Özoguz 17 Apr '19

17 Apr '19

Dear list, here my min-example and the question within. \setuplayout[grid=yes] \showgrid \starttext \dorecurse{779}{test }\footnote{Just a footnote. Wants to stay on this page without forcing the last line of the first page to move on this page (the 41rd line of the first page is now empty, but it should not). So the reference of the footnote and the foonote itself would be on different pages, but that would be ok. Is that possible?} \stoptext Thank you. -- Huseyin Özoguz E-Mail: h.oezoguz(a)mmnetz.de

Variable space with hanging description
by Cedric Tissieres 16 Apr '19

16 Apr '19

Dear all, I recently switched to mkiv and experienced some problems with descriptions when set with alternative=hanging. The horizontal space between the description title and the rest of the text varies a lot and looks ugly. When the same code is compiled with mkii, this space is almost constant (replace alternative=hanging by location=hanging in mkii). Thanks Cedric ---- \definedescription[desc][ align=hyphenated,alternative=hanging, width=fit,margin=standard] \starttext \startdesc{Abcdefgh} \input knuth \stopdesc \startdesc{Abcdefghij} \input knuth \stopdesc \startdesc{Abcdefghijklmn} \input knuth \stopdesc \stoptext

local command description
by Damien Thiriet 16 Apr '19

16 Apr '19

Hi, Last year after my speech at BachoTeX, Hans told me, that we can get a local catalogue of ConTeXt macros. So I wrote on a piece of paper two commands but did not note much more and now I am not sure what do they stand for mtxrun --script server --auto When I run this, I got this on my console resolvers | trees | analyzing '/home/dthiriet/texmf' mtx-server | running at port: 8088 mtx-server | document root: /usr/local/share/texmf-dist/scripts/context/lua mtx-server | main index file: unknown mtx-server | scripts subpath: /usr/local/share/texmf-dist/scripts/context/lua mtx-server | context services: http://localhost:8088/mtx-server-ctx-startup.lua and then nothing appends for a quite long time (10 minutes). Is it building a base or something like this? How long should I wait to have it made? The second command I note is mtxrun --gethelp --url=http://localhost:8088/mtx-server-ctx-help.lua?command=%command% --command= "\definecolor" When I run this, I get sh: http://localhost:8088/mtx-server-ctx-help.lua?command=definecolor: not found Is it because I did not build the base, or did I miss something (typo or so on?) Thanks, Damien Thiriet

change in treating errors
by Mohammad Hossein Bateni 16 Apr '19

16 Apr '19

Hi, ConTeXt used to recover better from errors. Consider the following file: ============= \xyz \abc \starttext HELLO \stoptext ============= Running ConTeXt ver: 2019.03.21 21:39 MKIV beta fmt: 2019.3.26 int: english/english would catch both "Undefined control sequence" errors before exiting with the message "mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 256". (I either press enter to move to the next error, or I use the --nonstopmode option.) Now with ConTeXt ver: 2019.04.13 17:01 MKIV beta fmt: 2019.4.15 int: english/english, even when I do not supply the --nonstopmode option, ConTeXt exits abnormally with the same error message right after discovering the first undefined control sequence. The old "?" TeX prompt allowing once to fix the misspellings, etc. does not appear at all. Has some defaults changed? Is it possible to get the old behavior? Thanks, ~MHB
