Lines in \showbodyfontenvironment
by Tomas Hala 17 Feb '19

17 Feb '19

Hi all, I played with \definebodyfontenvironment and found the command \showbodyfontenvironment. Experimentally I changed parameters at \definebodyfontenvironment and I am not able to understand the logic of the table generated by the \showbodyfontenvironment. What is the meaning of lines in the table? Or is this published somewhere? Best wishes, Tomáš

How to configure context command in Emacs
by Jan U. Hasecke 16 Feb '19

16 Feb '19

Hello, I hope there are some Emacs users out there. ;-) I can use emacs with context-mode when I start the program like this: . ~/context/tex/setuptex ; emacs & I could not find a way to set this in my emacs init file. Neither of the ways described here worked for me: https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ExecPath I set this in .bashrc: if [-f ~/context/tex/setuptex ]; then . ~/context/tex/setuptex fi to always have context available in a shell and in emacs if I start it from bash. Starting Emacs via the start menu of Gnome results in an Emacs that does not know ConTeXt. I found some hints how to source .bashrc in emacs but this only affects the emacs shell not the command calling from within AucTeX. Has anyone found a solution for this? juh

mix two-column and single-column footnotes
by Mohammad Hossein Bateni 16 Feb '19

16 Feb '19

Hi, Is it possible to mix two-column and single-column footnotes? Here's my use case. I have two types of footnotes: 1) short one- or two-word terms 2) long descriptions and notes On some pages there are a lot of "short" footnotes which take up a lot of space at the bottom of the page. I'd like to typeset them in 2 or 3 columns. But then the "long" footnotes had better stay in one column. See below for desired input and output. Thanks, ~MHB Sample input: \definenote[shortfootnote][...,n=3] \definenote[longfootnote][...,n=1] \definenotation[shortfootnote][...] \definenotation[longfootnote][...] \starttext \shortfootnote{short}\shortfootnote{short}\shortfootnote{short} \longfootnote{This is a long footnote which spans the entire width of the page.} \shortfootnote{short}\shortfootnote{short} \longfootnote{Another "long" footnote.} \longfootnote{Note that footnotes 5, 6 used only two out of three available columns.} \stoptext Desired output: __________ 1 short 2 short 3 short 4 This is a long footnote which spans the entire width of the page. 5 short 6 short 7 Another "long" footnote. 8 Note that footnotes 5, 6 used only two out of three available columns.

\symbol (ConTeXt vs. LateX)
by Tomas Hala 16 Feb '19

16 Feb '19

Hi all, how can I print the corresponding character if I know its ordinal value? (In LaTeX, there is a command \symbol{number} but in ConTeXt this command has different meaning.) Thanks in advance, Best wishes, Tomáš Hála

Bug in math: version
by Otared Kavian 14 Feb '19

14 Feb '19

Hi Hans, With the latest beta there seems a bug has been intoduced with « \| » which should give a vertical double bar and not a simple bar. This is a minimal example: \starttext With 2019.02.10 17:43, the command \type{\|x\|} gives an incorrect result: $\|x\| = 1$ $|x| = 1$ \stoptext Best regards: OK

Minion Pro confuses italic correction
by Henri Menke 12 Feb '19

12 Feb '19

Dear list, The Minion Pro font, as distributed with Adobe Reader, confuses the ConTeXt italic correction. The MWE below will fail with luatex warning > node filter: error: ...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/typo-itc.lua:130: attempt to compare nil with number It's probably the font that is faulty but I guess ConTeXt shouldn't crash in that case. Cheers, Henri --- \mainlanguage[de] \definefontfeature[default][default][itlc=yes] \setupitaliccorrection[global, always] \setupbodyfontenvironment[default][em=italic] \setupbodyfont[minion,11pt] \starttext {\em riften}, \stoptext
