Spurious missing character reports
by Rik Kabel 10 Dec '18

10 Dec '18

List, I have one document that after the 2018-11-18 update (beginning with 12-01 and continuing to the current 12-07) has generated hundreds of spurious missing character messages in the log. A short extract: fonts > start missing characters: C:/ConTeXt/tex/texmf/fonts/opentype/public/antt/AntykwaTorunskaCond-Regular.otf fonts > 72 U+00021 !

I have pared down the files to the following example which demonstrates the problem. I do not understand now all the features interact to cause this, but the reports disappear upon removing any (such as the seemingly-redundant \definebodyfontenvironment or the \switchtobodyfont[small]). \enabletrackers [fonts.missing] \definebodyfontenvironment [11pt] [a=1] \definefontfallback [fb:ebgr] [file:libertinusserif-regular] [0x204A] \starttypescript [serif] [ebgaramond] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [file:ebgaramond-regular] [fallbacks=fb:ebgr] \stoptypescript \define\Test{¡Missing!} \setupbodyfont [ebgaramond,11pt] \setupbodyfont [libertinus,11pt] \starttext \dorecurse{6}{ \switchtobodyfont[small] \Test\par} \stoptext While the messages appear to be incorrect, there is no apparent problem associated with them. I do not know if they point to some problem I have not recognized, or are truly spurious. (And I can eliminate them by turning off the tracker when I am sure that I have the needed coverage in the fallbacks.) Of course, if I am doing something wrong I would like to correct it. -- Rik

Strange behaviour of TABLE with \currentTABLErow
by Tomas Hala 10 Dec '18

10 Dec '18

Hi all, at https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/currentTABLEcolumn I learnt about \currentTABLErow etc. for counting lines in natural tables. I have got the following two minimal non-working examples (on TeXlive 2018): \starttext\setupTABLE[split=yes] \bTABLE \bTABLEhead\bTR\bTH head \eTH\eTR\eTABLEhead \bTABLEbody \dorecurse{100}{\bTR\bTD \currentTABLErow xxx \eTD\eTR} \eTABLEbody \eTABLE \stoptext In this case, the head-line is alse counted which makes no sense and I do not know how to supress it. If I add \bTABLEnext (below), I receive very strange result -- both heads are at the beginning of the table and both counted. Moreover, the "next" head is not used on the following pages. \starttext\setupTABLE[split=yes] \bTABLE \bTABLEhead\bTR\bTH head \eTH\eTR\eTABLEhead \bTABLEnext\bTR\bTH next head \eTH\eTR\eTABLEnext \bTABLEbody \dorecurse{100}{\bTR\bTD \currentTABLErow xxx \eTD\eTR} \eTABLEbody \eTABLE \stoptext I tried \TC and \TD instead of \TH, also without success. What I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance for help. Best wishes, Tomáš

I remember there existed a macro \disableXML, which at this time is undefined. Or does my memory fails me here? dr. Hans van der Meer

fontfamily not loaded anymore

Issues using publications subsystem for non-bibliographic database
by Rik Kabel 08 Dec '18

08 Dec '18

List, I am trying to use the publications subsystem to support a non-bibliographic database, as chapter 10 of mkiv-publications suggests one can. My example is a database of quotations. I have been partially successful, which is another way of saying there are some issues I have not been able to resolve. First, what goes into a specification lua file (I think that is what the document suggests I need) that says my author field should be handled as a bibliographic author field? There is some processing: {Schopenhauer, Arthur} gets displayed as ArthurSchopenhauer (with no space). Specifying an authorconversion in \setupbtx has no effect, so it looks like I have to do something else. Second, how can I link one entry to another. The example shows my almost-working attempt, adding a linking key (translation in the example) and recursively using it in processing. This fails, but when I use the literal equivalent, it works. (And the recursion does not seem to be the problem.) I know that this description is not clear, but the example should demonstrate the issue. Finally, the document loses all data from the quotation database when \placebtxrendering for that database is omitted. I apologize for the larger-than-usual example size. %{[( \startbuffer[quotesources] @book{Schopenhauer1862v2, title = {Parerga und Paralipomena}, subtitle = {Kleine Philosophische Schriften}, publisher = {A.

Dear list, it seems that \mframed does not align properly. Compare the example fount at https://www.contextgarden.net/Framed#Location_parameter <https://www.contextgarden.net/Framed#Location_parameter> to the compiled example attached. What can I do to get a correctly aligned framed formula? Many thanks for you help, Mathias

indenting after placefigure
by Hans van der Meer 06 Dec '18

I used \setupindenting[always,medium]. This works everywhere except after a figure placed with \placefigure. Why does placing the figure suppress the indent after it? And how can this behaviour be changed? dr. Hans van der Meer
