about character expansion
by Pablo Rodriguez 30 Aug '18

30 Aug '18

Dear list, I would like to introduce character expansion to novice users. I know that ConTeXt adds values automatically. But I’m interested in showing extremely stretched and shrinked characters, as an example of character expansion done wrong. Sorry for not providing a minimal example, but I don’t have any idea about how to achieve that. Does anyone know how to do it? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Table of contents setup
by Willi Egger 30 Aug '18

30 Aug '18

Hello, I am busy to typeset a book with Maguntia.ttf. I should prepare the TOC with leaders. However how can I get ConTeXT to use the same leader-size on all levels which need leaders? As in the given example the leaders are adapted to the size of the font. Secondly I would like to have the page numbers all in the same size, irrespective from the level. Thirdly, I would love to adapt the distance between the leader-dots to a bigger size. How to do that? Kind regards Willi

Emacs + latest beta
by Fabrice Couvreur 30 Aug '18

30 Aug '18

Hello, Sorry to insist, but could anyone help me understand the problem I'm having in using Emacs with standalone context ? The following file compiles perfectly from a terminal : /home/aragorn/texlive/2018/bin/x86_64-linux/context test.tex /home/aragorn/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/context test.tex (latest beta) With Emacs, it compiles perfectly if you use the 2018 texlive context binary. If I want to use the latest beta context binary, I need to add this to my ~/.emacs file : (setenv "PATH" "/home/aragorn/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/:$PATH" t) And there, I encounter a compilation problem : Running `ConTeXt Full' on `pouf' with ``context --purgeall --nonstop pouf.tex''resolvers | trees | analyzing 'home:texmf' mtx-context | run 1: luatex --fmt="/home/aragorn/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/formats/luatex/cont-en" --interaction="nonstopmode" --jobname="pouf" --lua="/home/aragorn/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/formats/luatex/cont-en.lui" --no-parse-first-line --c:currentrun=1 --c:fulljobname="./pouf.tex" --c:input="./pouf.tex" --c:kindofrun=1 --c:maxnofruns=9 --c:nonstopmode --c:purgeall "cont-yes.mkiv" This is LuaTeX, Version 1.08.0 (TeX Live 2018) system commands enabled. resolvers > trees > analyzing 'home:texmf' open source > level 1, order 1, name '/home/aragorn/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/cont-yes.mkiv' job > passes > version mismatch: 1.3 <> 1.31 system > system > ConTeXt ver: 2018.08.20 17:47 MKIV beta fmt: 2018.8.20 int: english/english system > system > 'cont-new.mkiv' loaded open source > level 2, order 2, name '/home/aragorn/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/cont-new.mkiv' system > beware: some patches loaded from cont-new.mkiv close source > level 2, order 2, name '/home/aragorn/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/cont-new.mkiv' system > files > jobname 'pouf', input './pouf', result 'pouf' fonts > latin modern fonts are not preloaded languages > language 'en' is active open source > level 2, order 3, name '/home/aragorn/pouf.tex' fonts > preloading latin modern fonts (second stage) fonts > 'fallback modern-designsize rm 12pt' is loaded structure > sectioning > chapter @ level 2 : 0.1 -> First chapter metapost > initializing instance 'metafun:1' using format 'metafun' and method 'default' metapost > loading 'metafun' as '/home/aragorn/context/tex/texmf-context/metapost/context/base/mpiv/metafun.mpiv' using method 'default' metapost > initializing number mode 'scaled' lua error > lua error on line 10 in file /home/aragorn/pouf.tex: ...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/node-nut.lua:190: attempt to call a nil value (global 'getid') stack traceback: ...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/node-nut.lua:190: in upvalue 'getexpansion' ...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/font-mps.lua:343: in function <...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/font-mps.lua:338> ...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/font-mps.lua:437: in local 'boxtomp' ...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/mlib-pps.lua:1894: in function <...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/mlib-pps.lua:1891> (...tail calls...) 1 2 \startusableMPgraphic{NumberHead} 3 draw outlinetext.f 4 ("\bf\namedheadnumber{chapter}") 5 (withcolor "lightgray") 6 ysized 50pt ;

Question on enabling/disabling modes
by Mikael P. Sundqvist 30 Aug '18

30 Aug '18

Hi! I am writing notes for my teaching and would like to do the following with modes: * If the file is compiled with context file.tex then everything (i.e. the content in all modes) is typeset. * If the file is compiled with context --mode=test1 file.tex then only mode test1 is typeset. I do not see how to do this easily. The example I am working on looks like this: %%% file.tex \definemode[test1][keep] \definemode[test2][keep] \starttext \startmode[test1] We are in mode test1. \stopmode \startmode[test2] We are in mode test2. \stopmode \stoptext %%% This, however, naturally gives not output, since the modes test1 and test2 are not activated. If I compile with context --mode=test1 file.tex I get the content in mode test1, as I want. I have tried to change "keep" to "yes" in the setup of the modes, but then the material in both modes are typeset no matter what command flag I use. Do I miss something? /Mikael PS In reality I have about 25 lectures, so using this method there will be about 25 modes in total.

protrusion with opening exclamation and question marks
by Pablo Rodriguez 30 Aug '18

30 Aug '18

Hi Hans, I have the following sample: \definefontfeature[default][default] [protrusion=quality] \setupxtable[frame=off, option=stretch] \startbuffer[standard] ¿Cómo? ¡No! \stopbuffer \startbuffer[right] \hfill¿Cómo? \hfill¡No! \stopbuffer \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=2em] \startembeddedxtable[framecolor=red, align=hanging, foregroundstyle={\ss\bfd}, offset=overlay] \startxrow \startxcell[leftframe=on] \getbuffer[standard]\stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow[toffset=2em] \startxcell[rightframe=on] \getbuffer[right]\stopxcell \startxcell[rightframe=on, align=nothanging] \getbuffer[right]\stopxcell \stopxrow \stopembeddedxtable \stopTEXpage \stoptext It shows that question and exclamation marks are sligtly protruded. Well, in Spanish (and Galician in some ortographies) there are opening exclamation and quotation marks. I think it would make sense to have the same protrusion values for opening quotation and exclamation marks as for the closing ones. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

\startuserdata syntax questions
by Rik Kabel 29 Aug '18

29 Aug '18

Wolfgang, Hans, et al, The new \startuserdata macro looks very promising, and can simplify some work I have in progress. The first question: the wiki example and the source use \userparameter{optionkey} \userparameter{anotherkey} to retrieve the value of optionkey and anotherkey. Is there a way to provide the key/value pairs in a manner that they can be retrieved with the getparameters mechanism, as: \getrawparameters [XX] [optionkey=,anotherkey=,#1] This has the added advantage of allowing the setting of a default value, as \getrawparameters [XX] [optionkey=2em,anotherkey=,#1] Or is there a reason not to use getparameters in this setting? The second question: Is there the possibility to enhance the syntax so that one can write \startMyStuff [optionalkey=value, anotherkey=value] stuff \stopMyStuff instead of \startuserdata [MyStuff] [optionalkey=value, anotherkey=value] stuff \stopuserdata Such syntactic sugar makes sweeter reading of the text, and makes clearer what is being done when nesting the macro. -- Rik Kabel
