by Mojca Miklavec 24 Jun '19

24 Jun '19

Hi, I recieved this via CTAN updates. Any volunteers for testing? (Using --modules=all or --modules=t-tikz should automatically give you the latest version.)

CrossWords Puzzles with context
by Jorge Manuel 24 Jun '19

24 Jun '19

After some attempts to build crosswords puzzles with context, I found this approach: 1) Create the puzzle with genxword https://github.com/riverrun/genxword <https://github.com/riverrun/genxword> 2) Edit the output table and change all {} to * 3) Save the table in a file (p.e. crosswords.txt) 3) In context use this script (Revised By Wolfgang Schuster) \startluacode context.startmidaligned() context.bTABLE( { rulethickness = ".25pt", width = ".8cm", height = ".8cm", align = "{lohi, middle}" } ) for line in io.lines("crosswords.txt") do for w in (line .. "|"):gmatch("([^|]*)|") do -- print (w) if w == ' ' then context.bTR() elseif w == '.' then context.eTR() else if w == '* ' then context.bTD( { frame = "off" } ) context.eTD() else ww = string.match (w, "%d+") print (ww) if ww then context.bTD( { foregroundstyle = "\\bfxx" } ) context("%s",ww) context.eTD() else context.bTD() -- context("%s",w) context.eTD() end end end end end context.eTABLE() context.stopmidaligned() \stopluacode Files: crossword.txt file: |* |* |[2]T|* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |. |[1]A|D|R|I|A|N|O|* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |. |* |* |A|* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |. |[6]H|* |J|* |* |* |[4]T|* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |. |[3]I|T|A|L|I|C|A|* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |. |S|* |N|* |* |* |R|* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |. |P|* |O|* |* |* |G|* |[10]S|* |* |[7]P|* |* |* |* |. |A|* |* |* |[5]G|U|A|D|A|L|Q|U|I|[9]V|I|[8]R|. |L|* |* |* |* |* |R|* |N|* |* |B|* |E|* |O|. |I|* |* |* |* |* |Y|* |T|* |* |L|* |N|* |M|. |S|* |* |* |* |* |E|* |I|* |* |I|* |U|* |A|. |* |* |* |* |* |* |N|* |P|* |* |O|* |S|* |N|. |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |O|* |* |* |* |* |* |O|. |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |N|* |* |* |* |* |* |S|. |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |* |C|* |* |* |* |* |* |* |. |* |* |* |[11]A|N|F|I|T|E|A|T|R|O|* |* |* |.

After some searching in the test suite I found the answer, which I'll put here in case someone else is searching for it, which is: \setuphead[section][sectionsegments=section] \setuphead[subsection][sectionsegments=section:subsection] which sets up sections to just be numbered with the section number instead of the part, chapter and section number, and sets up subsections to just be numbered with the section and subsection number. Now that I know how to do it I see mkiv is much cleaner on this code and the change gets reflected in tables of contents etc. This was much harder in mkii. Thanks again. Duncan

italic correction (before the glyph)
by Pablo Rodriguez 23 Jun '19

23 Jun '19

Dear list, I have the following sample: \def\DesiredFont{TeX Gyre Termes} \definefontfeature[italic][itlc=yes,textitalics=yes] \setupitaliccorrection[global, always] \definefontfamily [mainface] [rm] [\DesiredFont] \definefontfamily [mainface_corrected] [rm] [\DesiredFont] [features={italic}] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \setupitaliccorrection[global,always] \starttext \startbuffer[chars] \startTEXpage[offset=1em] \dorecurse{26} {\setupbodyfont[mainface]% [{\em \recurselevel}] [{\em \characters{\recurselevel}}] [{\em \Characters{\recurselevel}}] ({\em \characters{\recurselevel}}) ({\em \Characters{\recurselevel}}) \hfill \setupbodyfont[mainface_corrected] [{\em \recurselevel}] [{\em \characters{\recurselevel}}] [{\em \Characters{\recurselevel}}] ({\em \characters{\recurselevel}}) ({\em \Characters{\recurselevel}}) \par} \stopTEXpage \stopbuffer \getbuffer[chars] \def\DesiredFont{TeX Gyre Pagella} \getbuffer[chars] \stoptext This shows that sequences such as ({\em f}) are corrected with the closing parenthesis, but not with the opening one. Wouldn’t it be possible that italic correction could be enabled also before the italic glyph(s)? BTW, I wonder why the second definition of \DesiredFont doesn’t change the font for the buffer used after it. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

mkii to mkiv - section numbering with minimal example
by Duncan Hothersall 23 Jun '19

23 Jun '19

Further to my previous query about updating from mkii to mkiv, I have solved some of the issues by trial and error but am beginning to identify the ones I can't resolve. My first minimal example is below. I want the sections and subsections not to prefix the part and chapter numbering, giving me this output: Part 1 Chapter 1.1 Section 1 Subsection 1.1 The line that used to achieve this result was \setupsection[section-3][previousnumber=no] and there was also \setuphead[section][partnumber=no,chapternumber=no] but neither of these seems to work in mkiv Minimal example: \setupsection[section-3][previousnumber=no] \setuphead[section][partnumber=no,chapternumber=no] \starttext \part{Part} Part \chapter{Chapter} Chapter \section{Section} Section \subsection{Subsection} Subsection \stoptext Many thanks for any pointers.

is it useful to use the option "--fonts=all" when running first-setup-sh?
by Andres Conrado Montoya 22 Jun '19

22 Jun '19

As the subject says. I've been experimenting with having a by-project context folder, so I can have a "frozen" version for each project. I see there's an option to install more fonts (including utopia, useful for a project I'm working on). However, I have no idea how to use these fonts. Are they available in mkiv? only for mkii? Do we have typescripts for those fonts? If so, how are they called? Are those fonts actually usable or are they just remains from a past era? Thank you for your time.

How to get a minimal context installation
by Denis Maier 22 Jun '19

22 Jun '19

Hi, the homepage says that the included fonts increase the installation to 200mb while the macros themselves are rather small. Is there a way to install only what is absolutely necessary? I'll be using system fonts anyway... Best, Denis

ConTeXt Group Newsletter
by Taco Hoekwater 21 Jun '19

21 Jun '19

In this newsletter: * 2018 journal progress * ConTeXt Meeting updates * Board elections * 2018-2019 membership invoices * Becoming a CG member * Membership promo action = 2018 journal progress = Production of the 2018 CG journal has finally started. With articles by Alan Braslau, Willi Egger, Hans Hagen and Taco Hoekwater, this will be a varied and even rather substantive issue. CG Members that attend the 2019 ConTeXt meeting will receive their copy at that meeting. The other CG members will find the journal issue in their mailbox about a week later. This is the first issue that will use the free IBM Plex Sans and IBM Plex Mono font families instead of the commercial Alwyn New and Inconsolata. See https://www.ibm.com/plex/ if you are interested in this new font family. = ConTeXt Meeting updates = We filled in the abstracts page with the parts of the program that we already know right now. We have quite a varied program already, and more is yet to come! The ConTeXt meeting is an excellent way to get help with any problems you may have in ConTeXt, to learn about future directions of ConTeXt and LuaTeX, or just to talk and have a drink with other ConTeXt users. You do not have to be a ConTeXt Group member to attend the meeting, but members do get a meeting fees discount worth more than the CG membership fees for a year. In fact, if you attend for the very first time, there is an extra discount for that as well. Oh, and there are now just nine days left for the early registration discount! For registration and other information, see the website at https://meeting.contextgarden.net/2019 The 13th ConTeXt Meeting is sponsored by Dante e.V (www.dante.de) and NTG (www.ntg.nl) as well as by Pragma ADE (Hans & Ton) and Bittext (Taco). We are very grateful to all our sponsors! = Board elections = The ConTeXt meeting is also the location of the annual CG membership meeting. This year, no less than four board members are forced to resign according to the bylaws. We are looking for CG members to help fill those spots in the board. If you are interested in joining the CG board, please send a message to any of the current board members and we will get in touch with you. We can really use the help! = 2018-2019 membership invoices = The invoices for the membership fees for the current period (2018-2019) will be sent out digitally early next week. = Becoming a CG member = Our official stated purpose: * to promote the ConTeXt typographic system; * provide its users with infrastructure and information; * support its development; * provide a platform for discussion of quality automated typography; * serve as a meeting place for people who want the best possible typography for the languages and writings of the world; * organise congresses and trainings for users and ConTeXt developers to meet; * provide financial support to those involved in documentation and ConTeXt development, including through their participation in conferences; * produce and sell printed materials on ConTeXt; * sell advertising items for ConTeXt. The more members we have, the more we can do. If you are not a member already, please consider registering at https://group.contextgarden.net/register.shtml Membership fees are €40 per year for normal members, €20 for students, and €200 for institutions and corporations. = Membership promo action = ConTeXt Group currently has close to 50 members. We have in fact been close to 50 members for a few years now, but we never seem to actually reach that number. So as a special promotion, the 50th active member will have their meeting fees waived for their first membership period (2018-2019 or 2019-2020 at your option). = That’s all for now = Keep happy ConTeXting! Best wishes, Taco
