Hyphenation questions
by Dmitry Starostin 01 May '19

01 May '19

1. is there an analog to \hyp{} command from the 'hyphenat' package? Double words with a dash happen all too often. 2. how to switch language for just three words for correct hyphenation? 3. if the citation in APS format falls out of the right margin, what needs to be changed to adjust it? 4. In APS, I cannot figure out how to make a space appear between the numbers for cited sources. [1, p. 1,2, p. 2]. But [1, p. 1, 2, p. 2] is what is desired. In one case it did appear automatically, but all others don't work. \cite[righttext={{{, p.~1}},{{, p.~2}}}][book1,book2]

How to write a wiki page?
by Rudolf Bahr 01 May '19

01 May '19

Hello All! I'd like to write a wiki page on special Fraktur fonts, but I don't know how to begin technically. Are there rules? Certanly, but where? To whom would I send the result to correct it with respect to format, ConTeXt commands, English language, bringing it into the ConTeXt wiki and so on? Greetings, Rudolf

Thanks, Clyde MWE: \starttext \startxtable \startxrow \startxcell Alpha \stopxcell \startxcell Beta\footnote{Footnote Here} \stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell Beta \stopxcell \startxcell Alpha\stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable \stoptext

13th International ConTeXt meeting
by Taco Hoekwater 01 May '19

01 May '19

TL;DR: See https://meeting.contextgarden.net/ for registration! Hi all, Registration for the next ConTeXt meeting is now open! 13th International ConTeXt Meeting ================================== The thirteenth ConTeXt meeting will take place in Bassenge, Belgium on September 16–21, 2019 You are cordially invited to join the 13th ConTeXt meeting. The meeting will host ConTeXt and LuaTeX developers and users and gives you the opportunity to present your results, experiences and ideas on future development. The talks will be followed-up by tutorials on different ConTeXt and LuaTeX techniques. Thematic context ================ The theme for this meeting is: dirty tricks & dangerous bends So we are particularly interested in submissions relating to either: • Sneaky ways to get ConTeXt to do exactly what you want, or • How to properly control ConTeXt is complicated environments The programme committee is Hans Hagen and Taco Hoekwater. Since not every dirty trick or dangerous bend is exciting enough to warrant a standalone presentation, we are also collecting small submissions separately that we will then combine into a single talk. Please email Hans or me with ideas. Social context ============== Registration opened today. We will be back in ’t Sjetootje in Bassenge-Boirs, the same location as the meetings in 2011 and 2014. There has been some remodelling (there is now an actual conference room with built-in wifi!) but the basic layout of the chateau has not changed so, as before, (single) rooms are very scarce. Note that the meeting starts on Monday evening and ends on Saturday morning. It is possible to stay on for another day (or even two, if you are OK with getting up early on Monday the 23rd). Arriving early is not possible, though. Jan (our previous host) is no longer attached to the chateau but a replacement has been found and there will still be special Belgian beers (and a marking list!). Calendric context ================= • May 1, 2019, beginning of registration • July 1, 2019, deadline for early bird payment • September 16-21, 2019, 13th ConTeXt Meeting See https://meeting.contextgarden.net/ for more details. Hope to see you there, Taco (your local organizer this year)

No menu bar option for Adobe Reader
by Paul Schalck 01 May '19

01 May '19

Hi, I use the "Hide menu bar" option extensively in Adobe Acrobat Reader to get a cleaner interface. To this end, I usually hack lpdf-mis.lua after a ConTeXt upgrade to create a \setupinteractionscreen[option=nomenubar] switch. I wonder if it would be possible to add this little feature to the source code. Perhaps it can be useful to others as well. Greetings! Paul Attachment: patch + modified lpdf-mis.lua (from ConTeXt MkVI 2019.04.25)

underscore hyphenation in LMTX

Dear list, I have the following sample: \startluacode function document.addfunnyhyphen(tfmdata) local underscore = utf.byte("_") local char = tfmdata.characters[underscore] tfmdata.characters[0xFE000] = { width = 0, height = 0, depth = 0, commands = { { "right", -char.width }, { "down", char.depth }, { "slot", 1, underscore }, } } end utilities.sequencers.appendaction("aftercopyingcharacters","after", "document.addfunnyhyphen") \stopluacode \definehyphenationfeatures [whatever] [righthyphenchar="FE000] \setuphyphenation[method=traditional] \sethyphenationfeatures[strict, whatever] \setuppapersize[A10, lanscape] \starttext \startmakeup[standard] \hsize\zeropoint \tt definebodyfont \stopmakeup \stoptext I get the underscore hyphenation with latest ConTeXt beta (LuaTeX-1.10), but not with latest LMTX (LuaTeX-2.0). Am I missing something here? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

LMTX and system fonts
by Pablo Rodriguez 01 May '19

01 May '19

Dear list, fonts are my main problem using LMTX (on both Windows and Linux platforms). In Windows (I installed it again from scratch yesterday), system fonts (from c:/windows/fonts/) are simply ignored (I don’t know why). In Linux, a symlink in tex/texmf-fonts/ to the directory where fonts are stored doesn’t work either. The weird thing is that the ConTeXt Suite in both OSes works fine with system fonts or the mentioned symlink. What am I missing here? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

placetable and localfootnotes
by Otared Kavian 01 May '19

01 May '19

Hi Hans, It seems that there is a conflict between \startplacetable and \startlocalfootnotes: in the following example when the latter command (and its \stop counterpart) is commented out the table is placed correctly in the middle, while otherwise the table is not centered. Best regards: OK %%% begin localfootnotes-xtable.tex \startplacetable \startlocalfootnotes \startxtable \startxrow \startxcell Alpha \stopxcell \startxcell Beta\footnote{Footnote Here} \stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell Beta \stopxcell \startxcell Alpha\stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable \placelocalfootnotes \stoplocalfootnotes \stopplacetable %%% end localfootnotes-xtable.tex
