Space between the term (left column) and the definition (right column) is too small. \definesynonyms[term][terms][\deffull] \setupsynonyms[term][textstyle=cap] \placelistofterms

changing alignment inside a paragraph

12 Dec '19

Hello list, is there a way to achieve this? \def\FlushRightFromNextLine{\relax} \setupnarrower[left=0cm,right=11cm] \setupalign[stretch] \starttext This is what I'd like to type in my source:\par \blank \type{This is the text of an index term, that is normally justified, but I'd like the page numbers to be flushed to the right from their second line \FlushRightFromNextLine 34, 57, 101-104, 276, 345, 401-403.}\par \blank This is the normal result:\par \blank \startnarrower[right] This is the text of an index term, that is normally justified, but I'd like the page numbers to be flushed to the right from their second line \FlushRightFromNextLine 34, 57, 101-104, 276, 345, 401-403. \stopnarrower \blank This is the expected result:\par \blank \startnarrower[right] \parfillskip=0pt This is the text of an index term, that is normally justified, but I'd like the page numbers to be flushed to the right from their second line 34, 57,\par \penalty10000 % no page break in the middle of page numbers \startalignment[flushright] 101-104, 276, 345, 401-403.\par \stopalignment \stopnarrower \stoptext The expected result is to be intended visually, because there might be no need to break the text into two paragraphs.

lmtx
by Hans Hagen 12 Dec '19

12 Dec '19

Hi, The last few days there have been reports about garbled files in the lmtx installation so I did some test oinon a linux machine and indeed there was some issue (I'm not sure what causes it). Anyway, I made new zips so maybe one needs to reinstall (using the installer zip). It installs okay on wsl so probably also on other linuxes. This version (luametatex 2.03.3) has (again) a little smaller mem footprint as I still want it all to perforem ok on relative small devices or vm's and as side effect a bit smaller format file, not that that matters much (compared to general mem usage). There is not much to gain anyway, in terms of memory usage and performance so it's more an occasional challenge than a neccessity I guess. Anyway, hopefully nothing got broken. Peter Rolf and I are updating some of the pdf validation related stuff (additional formats), so that can be in flux.

Using lmtx and new metafun
by Otared Kavian 12 Dec '19

12 Dec '19

Hi Aditya, Following your explanations in https://adityam.github.io/context-blog/post/new-metafun-interface/ I wrote an environment in order to display the graph of a function on a grid which can be adapted to each case. Assuming that I have an MPinstance named GridAxis (for example) which can dispaly a grid and axes, how can I call it and write a line such as draw function (1,"x","x*x/4 - 2.5",xmin,xmax,.001) scaled sx ; without changing the part whichh is included in \startMPdefinitions, in oder to draw the above function on that grid ? Thanks for your help: Otared PS: Here is my definition of GridAxis (I guess many parts of it could be better written…) \defineMPinstance[GridAxis] [ format=metafun, extensions=yes, initializations=yes, method=double, ] \startMPdefinitions{GridAxis} def GridAxisPlot = applyparameters "GridAxisPlot" "do_GridAxisPlot" enddef ; presetparameters "GridAxisPlot" [ xmin = -2.5, xmax = 2.5, ymin = -2.5, ymax = 2.5, dx = 1, dy = 1, sx = 5mm, sy = 5mm, scale = 0.5, grid = true, xaxisnumbers = true, yaxisnumbers = true, showmyorigin = true, style = "\switchtobodyfont[8pt]", ]; vardef do_GridAxisPlot = image ( pushparameters "GridAxisPlot"; newnumeric xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax; xmin := getparameter "xmin"; xmax := getparameter "xmax"; ymin := getparameter "ymin"; ymax := getparameter "ymax"; newnumeric sx, sy; sx := getparameter "sx"; sy := getparameter "sy"; newnumeric dx, dy; dx := getparameter "dx"; dy := getparameter "dy"; newpath xaxis, yaxis; xaxis := (xmin*sx, 0) -- (xmax*sx, 0) ; yaxis := (0, ymin*sy) -- (0, ymax*sy) ; newpath xtick, ytick; xtick := (-0.1sx, 0) -- (0.1sx, 0); ytick := (0, -0.1sy) -- (0, 0.1sy); newstring style; style := getparameter "style"; pickup pencircle scaled .1mm ; newboolean grid; grid := getparameter "grid"; newboolean xaxisnumbers ; xaxisnumbers := getparameter "xaxisnumbers" ; newboolean yaxisnumbers ; yaxisnumbers := getparameter "yaxisnumbers" ; for x = dx step dx until xmax : if grid : draw yaxis shifted (x*sx, 0) withcolor 0.75white ; fi draw ytick shifted (x*sx, 0); if xaxisnumbers : label.bot(style & decimal x, (x*sx, 0)); fi endfor newboolean showmyorigin ; showmyorigin := getparameter "showmyorigin" ; if showmyorigin : label.lrt(style & "0", origin) ; fi for x = -dx step -dx until xmin : if grid : draw yaxis shifted (x*sx, 0) withcolor 0.75white; fi draw ytick shifted (x*sx, 0); if xaxisnumbers : label.bot(style & decimal x, (x*sx, 0)); fi endfor for y = dy step dy until ymax : if grid : draw xaxis shifted (0, y*sy) withcolor 0.75white; fi draw xtick shifted (0, y*sy); if yaxisnumbers : label.lft(style & decimal y, (0, y*sy)); fi endfor for y = -dy step -dy until ymin : if grid : draw xaxis shifted (0, y*sy) withcolor 0.75white; fi draw xtick shifted (0, y*sy); if yaxisnumbers : label.lft(style & decimal y, (0, y*sy)); fi endfor drawarrow xaxis; drawarrow yaxis; label.rt( style & "$x$", (xmax*sx, 0)); label.top(style & "$y$", (0, ymax*sy)); newpair p ; newnumeric scale; scale := getparameter "scale" ; popparameters; ) enddef; \stopMPdefinitions

Ebooks with ConTeXt?
by Nicola 11 Dec '19

11 Dec '19

What is the current status of epub support in ConTeXt? I have never followed ConTeXt's development on the XML front too closely, but recently I have been asked to help format a text-only manuscript for publishing on platforms such as Kindle or Apple Books Store. Can ConTeXt be used (or perhaps even recommended) for that? Or would I have better luck with the proprietary tools (Kindle Create, iBooks Author)? Nicola

Bug: Segmentation fault

Dear devs, The example below crashes LuaTeX with a segmentation fault. It is reproducible with LuaTeX 1.10.1 7143 and LuaTeX 1.11.2 7226. To this end I built 7226 from source with --debugopt to get a backtrace, which can be found below as well.

Blank page inserted when text reaches column's end
by Thangalin 11 Dec '19

11 Dec '19

When text reaches the end of a column, it appears to trigger inserting a blank page. In the following code, \dorecurse{3} causes a blank page to appear but \dorecurse{2} does not. The only difference is that when set to 3, the additional text is written on the last line of the last column. This scenario results in a blank page. Any ideas how the blank page can be suppressed? \showgrid \setuplayout[grid=yes] \starttext \startcolumnset[n=2] \input knuth \input lorem \input lorem \input knuth \dorecurse{3}{No TV and no beer make Homer something something.} \stopcolumnset \stoptext Version: $ context --version mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 1.03 mtx-context | mtx-context | main context file: /opt/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/context.mkiv mtx-context | current version: 2019.06.11 19:20 Thank you!
