XML Export: Suppressing Presentation Forms in Arabic Script Fonts
by Hamid,Idris 19 Jun '19

19 Jun '19

Dear gang, Just documented the following in the wiki: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Export#Suppressing_Presentation_Forms_in_Ara… For those who use certain commercial Arabic-script fonts with XML export: In the course of ConTeXt processing, many standard codepoints from the U+600 block are substituted with those from a subset of Presentation Forms B, which breaks the input in critical ways. Many thanks to Hans for pointing out this simple way to solve the issue. For details, see the link above. Best wishes Idris -- Idris Samawi Hamid, Professor Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80512

newlines in return Lua string
by Hans van der Meer 15 Jun '19

15 Jun '19

From \ctxlua{tex.print(hvdm.myluacall("\xmlatt{#1}{argument}"))} Lua returns a string containing newline characters '\n'. In ConTeXt this returned string is printed as one line, the embedded newlines are not honoured. I thought to replace with \crlf in this manner: string1 .. "\\crlf" .. string2 but the returned \crlf are not executed as such. How to force \crlf's in the executed return? dr. Hans van der Meer

aligning rotated text in a natural table
by Martin Althoff 13 Jun '19

13 Jun '19

I am trying to align rotated text horizontally and vertically in a table cell. Vertically is no problem, horizontally it fails. Non-rotated text is, of course, fine. What can I do to fix the problem? Thanks for suggestions. Martin using: mtx-context | current version: 2019.05.18 10:42 PDF of my output is attached. MWE: \starttext \setupTABLE[c][1][width=7mm] \setupTABLE[c][2][width=30mm] \setupTABLE[r][each][align={lohi,middle},height= 50mm] \bTABLE \bTR \bTD \rotate[270]{\switchtobodyfont[8pt]a bit more text} \eTD \bTD blah \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext

mkii to mkiv - what an ancient user needs to know
by Duncan Hothersall 12 Jun '19

12 Jun '19

Hi all. Long-time user but haven't posted in a long while... After many happy years of running a mkii set up I am finally facing the fact that time has moved on and upgrading to mkiv. I understand the biggest change needed to my sources is in the fonts handling, but I am getting a few other problems with things like chapter/sectioning setups that I can't see mentioned in https://www.contextgarden.net/MkIV_Differences I was wondering if there exists a comprehensive "what you have to change in your sources to move from mkii to mkiv" document anywhere or, failing that, if anyone can offer guidance on what has changed in the chapter/sectioning setups code between the two. Apologies for not supplying an example of code - I'm not yet at the point that that's possible. Any help much appreciated. And hello to anyone who remembers me from fifteen plus years ago! Duncan
