loading hyphenation patterns (again)
by Pablo Rodriguez 10 Jul '18

10 Jul '18

Dear list, sorry for bothering with this again: \setuplanguage[agr][patterns={agr, en}] \setuplanguage[en][patterns={en, agr}] \starttext \hyphenatedword{judgmental} \agr\hyphenatedword{judgmental} \stoptext I wonder why English cannot have extra hyphenation patterns, while ancient Greek allows them. Have I hit a bug or am I missing something? Sorry for insisting, but I get weird results with column balancing (registers). Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

text in mathematics
by Alan Braslau 10 Jul '18

10 Jul '18

Hello ConTeXt users, Does it drive you crazy to see TeX users write $t = time$? (I see this all of the time by LaTeX users in Beamer presentations.) One can do better writing $t = {\rm time}$ (maybe) or in ConTeXt $t = \mathrm{time}$. Sometimes, too, I might write $t = \text{time}$. We also have the commands \mathematics{} that can be used in place of the TeX shorthand $...$, and this also has the shortcut \m{...}. I thought that it might be useful to have an equivalent escape, to be used as $t = \t{time}$. What do other users think? OK, \m{t = \t{time}} might be a bit funky... Alan P.S. I proposed doing this via \let\t\mathrm but Hans tells me that this is not good, as \mathrm{} does not give proper font processing, so implementation of \t{} would be something different...

Hi! How to scale an image in MetaPost, maintaining the aspect ratio (without specifying the height explicitly)? Example: \setupexternalfigures [location=default] \starttext \externalfigure [cow][width=5cm] \startMPcode draw externalfigure "cow" scaled 5cm; \stopMPcode \stoptext Marco

issues with \comment
by Pablo Rodriguez 06 Jul '18

06 Jul '18

Dear list, I have the following sample: \setupinteraction[state=start] \setupcomment[location=inmargin, color=darkred] \showframe \startbuffer[abc] \input zapf \stopbuffer \setuptype[option=tex] \starttext \comment[space=yes,buffer=abc]{} \type{\comment[space=yes,buffer=abc]{}} \blank[2*big] \comment[location=leftmargin,space=yes,buffer=abc]{} \type{\comment[location=leftmargin,space=yes,buffer=abc]{}} \blank[2*big] \comment[location=rightmargin,space=yes,buffer=abc]{} \type{\comment[location=rightmargin,space=yes,buffer=abc]{}} \blank[2*big] \comment[location=inmargin,space=yes,buffer=abc]{} \type{\comment[location=inmargin,space=yes,buffer=abc]{}} \blank[2*big] \comment[location=leftedge,space=yes,buffer=abc]{} \type{\comment[location=leftedge,space=yes,buffer=abc]{}} \blank[2*big] \type{\comment[location=rightedge,space=yes,buffer=abc]{}} \blank[2*big] \comment[location=text,space=yes,buffer=abc]{} \type{\comment[location=text,space=yes,buffer=abc]{}} \blank[2*big] \comment[space=yes,buffer=abc]{} \type{\comment[space=yes,buffer=abc]{}} \blank[2*big] \comment[location=high,space=yes,buffer=abc]{} \type{\comment[location=high,space=yes,buffer=abc]{}} \blank[2*big] \stoptext I’m afraid buffer contents aren’t expanded in \comment. Locations for leftedge, rightedge and text don’t seem to work (in Acrobat Reader, SumatraPDF and Evince). Default value for location seems to depend on the value of last comment (even if a default value has been set in \setupcomment). Am I missing something or have I hit a bug? Many thanks for your replies, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Recursive search in resources folder
by Marcus Vinicius Mesquita 05 Jul '18

05 Jul '18

Dear list, In a project I received, there are a lot of images distributed in several folders like: figures/folder1 ... figures/folderN Which is the syntax for ConTeXt to find recursevely all images under the folder figures in the main folder of the project? I tried \setupexternalfigures[location=global,directory=figures] then ConTeXt finds the images in the figures folder, but not in the subfolders folder1, folder2, ... folderN TIA Marcus Vinicius

mtxrun fails to install fonts
by Stanislav Sokolenko 04 Jul '18

04 Jul '18

Dear list, I have what seems to be an OS- or ConTeXt version-specific issue with mtxrun installing fonts. I've been trying to add new truetype fonts (specifically Archivo ttf files) on Arch Linux using the following command: export OSFONTDIR=~/.fonts//; mtxrun --script font --reload And I've been using the following to check the installation: mtxrun --script font --list --all --pattern=*archi* It seems like a relatively new version of ConTeXt on Arch Linux (2018.04.04 00:51) recognizes but does not install the ttf files located in ~/.fonts/. The (shortened) output is: fonts | names | identifying system font files with suffix 'ttf' fonts | names | globbing path '/home/stanislav/.fonts/**.ttf' fonts | names | identifying system font files with suffix 'TTF' fonts | names | globbing path '/home/stanislav/.fonts/**.TTF' fonts | names | 8 system files identified, 0 skipped, 0 duplicates, 8 hash entries added, runtime 0.006 seconds But when I check the installation, no Archivo files are found. Strangely, an older installation on Linux Mint (2015.05.18 12:26) has no problems with the same ttf files: fonts | names | globbing path '/home/stanislav/.fonts/**.ttf' fonts | names | identifying system font files with suffix 'TTF' fonts | names | globbing path '/home/stanislav/.fonts/**.TTF' fonts | names | 8 system files identified, 0 skipped, 0 duplicates, 8 hash entries added, runtime 0.000 seconds And the check: mtxrun --script font --list --all --pattern=*archi* archivo archivomedium /home/stanislav/.fonts/typecatcher/Archivo_500.ttf archivobold archivobold /home/stanislav/.fonts/typecatcher/Archivo_700.ttf archivobolditalic archivobolditalic /home/stanislav/.fonts/typecatcher/Archivo_700italic.ttf archivodemi archivosemibold /home/stanislav/.fonts/typecatcher/Archivo_600.ttf archivoitalic archivoitalic /home/stanislav/.fonts/typecatcher/Archivo_italic.ttf archivomedium archivomedium /home/stanislav/.fonts/typecatcher/Archivo_500.ttf archivomediumitalic archivomediumitalic /home/stanislav/.fonts/typecatcher/Archivo_500italic.ttf archivonormal archivoitalic /home/stanislav/.fonts/typecatcher/Archivo_italic.ttf archivoregular archivoregular /home/stanislav/.fonts/typecatcher/Archivo_regular.ttf archivosemibold archivosemibold /home/stanislav/.fonts/typecatcher/Archivo_600.ttf archivosemibolditalic archivosemibolditalic /home/stanislav/.fonts/typecatcher/Archivo_600italic.ttf I've been searching for a couple of days and I'm at a loss. Is there a way to check why the identified system files aren't being installed? Thanks, Stan

tex-gyre fonts missing in 2018.07.02 14:39
by Thomas A. Schmitz 04 Jul '18

04 Jul '18

Hi Hans, is it possible that you forgot to include the texgyre fonts in the latest beta? I just realized that the directory experimental/tex/texmf/fonts/opentype/public/tex-gyre is missing… (and my documents are in latin modern) All best Thomas

The best command for parallel texts
by Martin Hasoň 04 Jul '18

04 Jul '18

Hi all, I need to type parallel text on double columns. I've tried paragraphs, tabulate, table and column environments. The best result of these options gives the tabulate. Unfortunately, it does not respect alignment - many \hbox errors in all environments except columns :(. What should I use and set up? \setuppapersize[A6][A6] \defineparagraphs[TwoLang][n=2] \setuptabulate[split=yes] \setupalign[verytolerant,stretch] \starttext \startTwoLang \input lorem \nextTwoLang \input davis \stopTwoLang \starttabulate[|p|p|] \NC\input lorem \NC\input davis \NC\NR \stoptabulate \bTABLE[frame=off,align=yes,split=yes] \bTR \bTD[roffset=2mm]\input lorem\eTD \bTD[loffset=2mm]\input davis\eTD \eTR \eTABLE \startcolumns[n=2] \input lorem \column \input davis \stopcolumns \stoptext Best regards Martin Hasoň

Parallel output of source data
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. 03 Jul '18

03 Jul '18

Hello, is there a way to let ConTeXt to flush the input stream in parallel into an output buffer, like: ---- \starttext A \startoutput{Test.mkiv} Hello! \startitemize \item Item \stopitemize \stopoutput B \stoptext ---- which would produce: ---- Test.mkiv Hello! \startitemize \item Item \stopitemize ---- Thank you in advance.
