documenting sources
by Pablo Rodriguez 27 Nov '19

27 Nov '19

Dear list, I would like to be abbe to commento some ConTeXt code that we use at work. From what I see in the distribution itself, %D is the way to comment text (and %C the copyright information). Sorry, I don’t even know how to look for this (either in the distribution, or in the wiki). I would like to know how to compile back-swf.mkiv to get the documentation. Which is the right command for that? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

R module
by Fabrice L 25 Nov '19

25 Nov '19

Dear list, I’m teaching with R this term, and I tried (without success) the R-module (I think the path of R is not found). Having no time to test and find out the problem, I have tried with success knitr (with is Rmarkdown code converted to latex-beamer). But I’m missing Context… My understanding is that the R-module is working only with mk-ii. Is there people in this list using successfully the r-module with mk-iv ? Thanks, Fabrice.

Re: [NTG-context] Difference between direct use of quotation marks and \quotation
by denis.maier.lists＠mailbox.org 24 Nov '19

Hi, is it possible to enable hanging punctuation only on the right margin? I think that's the way the microtype package does that in LaTeX, but I don't know how to replicate this behavior in ConTeXt.

ConTeXt as a service
by Denis Maier 24 Nov '19

24 Nov '19

Hi everyone, Is it possible to run ConTeXt as a service on a server? If yes, is there documentation about this? Background: I'm currently on the PKP conference, and we are discussing OJS plugins for automated PDF production. I was wondering if ConTeXt could be an option... Best, Denis P.S.: I'll be giving here a brief introduction to XML typesetting with ConTeXt to spread the word... just to let you know.

Difference between direct use of quotation marks and \quotation
by Tomas Hala 22 Nov '19

22 Nov '19

Hi all, I have got two "same" documents which differ at the left side when the hanging punctuation has been enabled. The difference is in use of quotation marks. (It seems as a language and font independent problem.) How can I persuade macro \quotation to move the punctuation outside the frame? Best wishes, Tomáš %%% MWE: \setupalign[hz,hanging] \definefontfeature [default] [default] [protrusion=quality, expansion=quality] \starttext\showframe one \hfill two \crlf „three“ four \par one \hfill two \crlf \quotation{three} four \stoptext

eqalign
by nohop＠posteo.org 22 Nov '19

22 Nov '19

Dear All, The command \eqalign does not work as described under: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Math_with_newmat as the ampersands are typeset (and the equal signs unaligned). The following minimal example shows the issue: ------------- \usemodule[newmat] \starttext \startformula \eqalign{ A & = x\cr & = y\cr} \stopformula \stoptext ------------- (Issue showing up in context 2019.11.14 17:07.) Best regards.

LuaTeX incompatible with Lua
by Henri Menke 21 Nov '19

21 Nov '19

Dear list, The following Lua script behaves differently when executed in Lua vs. LuaTeX. print(os.execute("date")) It seems that the definition of os_execute in loslibext.c was copied over from Lua 5.1 and not adapted to newer versions. $ lua5.1 test.lua 0 $ lua5.2 test.lua true exit 0 $ lua5.3 test.lua true exit 0 $ texlua test.lua 0 $ luajit test.lua 0 $ texluajit test.lua 0 As you can see from the example, this comes with the additional complication that LuaJIT has Lua 5.1 behaviour and should also retain that. Cheers, Henri

ConTeXt as a service
by Brian Ballsun-Stanton 21 Nov '19

21 Nov '19

In reply to: https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2019/096313.html I personally run ConTeXt as a service (as a sort of do-it-yourself Overleaf). I use floobits (https://floobits.com/Denubis) as an intermediary code server, and their floomatic sevice(https://floobits.com/help/floomatic) running on a server I have. That then calls a shell script that invokes ConTeXt, which writes logs and pdfs to an nginx monitored folder. It's been running for about 4 years now and has been solid enough for me to use without thinking too much about. Happy to share code and details. My deployment is super-hacky, but it works? -Brian

setup according to total numbers
by Pablo Rodriguez 20 Nov '19

20 Nov '19

Hi Hans, this is related to a previous message (https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2019/096253.html) I don’t know how hard could to implement them, but it would be useful to be able to setup xtables and lists based on the total number of columns, rows and items. Some cases would be: - Set a different width in list if their total number of items is more than 9 and another one if items are more than 19. - List iwith alphabetic numbering when it contains fewer items than 5 and with digits in other case. - Stretch xtable to width, if it contains more than 4 columns. - Stretch xtable to height, if it contains more than 10 rows. Sure, there may be plenty of other cases in which being able to setup xtables and list based on the total number of their elements would be handy. I wonder whether it would be possible to have commands that provide the number of these elements to be used to set them up. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
