align=end not working
by Aditya Mahajan 18 Nov '18

18 Nov '18

Hi, According to an old thread (https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2016/085877.html) the option `align=end` should align the last line to be flush right. However, that is not working. The example from that thread: \starttext \showframe \showboxes \setupalign[end] \dostepwiserecurse{5}{8}{1}{ \hsize #1cm What does happen with a short paragraph?\par } \stoptext gives the attached pdf. Thanks, Aditya

Footnotes and endnotes
by Axel Kielhorn 18 Nov '18

18 Nov '18

Hello, I have some problems with footnotes and endnotes. I have two kinds of footnotes: Those by the original author and those by the translator. I want to show the translator notes in a different way. Right now I have the footnote in green, but the footnote marker in the text does change neither font nor color? Shouldn’t the marker be green and bold? Setting numberconversion works, but the other options seem to be without effect. I want to include longer note as endnotes. I can change the marker shown with the notes to (1) but he marker in the text does not change. Thus you can’t distinguish between a footnote and an endnote. I tried a footnote within a footnote, that didn’t work, should it? (I don’t actually need this, I was just curious.) When I define commentnote based on endnote I get the same numbering. How can I either - use different counters for both kind of notes or - print both notes with the same placenotes command, in the right order?

Overflowing text if placetable is set to split
by mailinglist.context＠christopher-bock.de 17 Nov '18

17 Nov '18

Hi all, I encountered weird behavior if \placetable[here, split] is set. The text after the table sometimes doesn't cause a pagebreak and flows into the footer and overlaps the footertext instead. See attached MWE. Is there a way to avoid this behavior? Manually entering a page break is no option. Thanks, Chris

TextMate ConTeXt bundle
by Manuel Blanco 16 Nov '18

16 Nov '18

Hi all, After some years with LaTeX and let's say three or four times trying to start with ConTeXt, I decided to try again. Difficult, there are many manuals and a lot of contradicting ideas (at least for those of us that do not know) in them, but still, I want to try to see if once and for all I can manage to dominate it. I have installed MacTeX 2018. I use TextMate, and the ConTeXt bundle is not working in Mac OS High Sierra. After installing it, when I tried to compile it said something along the lines "your PATH is ... you should have 'context' in your path", so I searched in my computer and changed TextMate PATH to: $PATH:/opt/local/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/texbin:/usr/local/texlive/2018/texmf-dist/scripts/context/stubs/unix And this last part is where I think the context binary seems to be /usr/local/texlive/2018/texmf-dist/scripts/context/stubs/unix But now when I run it it says env: texlua: No such file or directory What could be happening? What do I do? Also, the bundle was last updated in 2010, may be there are new things? Where could we learn what things to add? https://github.com/pgundlach/context.tmbundle Any updated documentation that takes you from beginner to intermediate would be apreciated too. Thanks, Manuel

Server upgrade planned for Nov 26.
by Taco Hoekwater 14 Nov '18

14 Nov '18

Hi all, We plan to update the software installation on the zapf.ntg.nl server on Monday Nov 26. As a consequence, various tex-related sites including www.ntg.nl, wiki.contextgarden.net and www.luatex.org, as well as the mailman lists @ntg.nl, will be down for some as-of-yet undetermined amount of time. We’ll try to be fast, but one never knows with these things... Best wishes, Taco

Two questions on bibliography
by Joshua Moerman 13 Nov '18

13 Nov '18

Dear mailing list, My questions are related to one by Rik a few weeks back (but he did not get an answer yet). I am using the APA style (context version 2018.10.03 16:02). Q1: Shouldn't the order of multiple citations (using a single \cite command) be the same as the order in the publications list? In the example below, the orders are different. Q2: Is there a way to capitalise the first letter of a last name in \cite[...]? For example, this may be necessary when starting a new sentence. But it is also generally preferred in Dutch when the last name starts with 'van' (or something similar). \startbuffer[biblio] @article{PAPER1, author = {First Author}, title = {A paper}, year = {2016} } @article{PAPER2, author = {First Writer}, title = {Another paper}, year = {2017} } @article{PAPER3, author = {Jan van Amsterdam}, title = {Yet another paper}, year = {2018} } \stopbuffer \usebtxdataset[biblio.buffer] \usebtxdefinitions[apa] \starttext % Order is 3, 1, 2 We refer to \cite[authoryears][PAPER1, PAPER2, PAPER3]. \cite[authoryears][PAPER3] provides background. \blank % Order is 1, 3, 2 (unlike before) \placelistofpublications \stoptext \showbtxdatasetcompleteness Thanks in advance, All the best, Joshua Moerman

Unifraktur Maguntia features
by Willi Egger 12 Nov '18

12 Nov '18

Hi all, is there somebody among the ConTeXt users, who has experience with the font UnifrakturMaguntja (http://unifraktur.sourceforge.net/maguntia.html#)? I tried all kind of approaches to get the font switching between lnum, tnum pnum and onum. — I come to the conclusion that I am unable to subtract and add features. I appreciate any help. Please refer to the appended tex file. Kind regards willi

by Florian Rudt 12 Nov '18

12 Nov '18

Dear list, I don’t find how to align xtables in lists. My mwe: \starttext \startitemize \item \input knuth \blank \startxtable[option=stretch] \startxrow \startxcell text \stopxcell \startxcell more text \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable \item \input knuth \stopitemize \stoptext The table has the correct width, but isn’t indented. Thanks in advance Florian
