Command \hyphenatedurl{} doesn't work
by Lars 25 Jan '19

25 Jan '19

Hi there, the \hyphenatedurl{} command doesn't seem to work. Only the first line of the link is clickable and only the first line is being pasted into the browser, resulting in a 404. I tested Sumatra and Adobe. MWE: %--------------- \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext hyphenatedurl on its own is only clickable in the first line and pastes wrong URL to browser: \blank \hyphenatedurl{https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/11/05/heart-surgeon-turned-training-pioneering-robot-used-operation/} \blank Same in the footnote:\footnote{\hyphenatedurl{https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/11/05/heart-surgeon-turned-training-pioneering-robot-used-operation/}} \emptylines[5] useurl...url behaves the very same: \blank \useURL[urlVar][https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/11/05/heart-surgeon-turned-training-pioneering-robot-used-operation/]\url[urlVar] \blank Same in the footnote:\footnote{\url[urlVar]} \stoptext

definefontfamily use
by Alan Braslau 23 Jan '19

23 Jan '19

Hello, Previously, in order to make punctual use of a true-type font in a title for example, I did the following: \definefontfamily [myfont] [serif] [myfont] where myfont.ttf is located in the current project directory, and selecting the font was simply {\switchtobodyfont[myfont]My Font!} Using the present context, this yields the error selectfont > The requested font 'myfont' has no files for the 'tf' alternative, Latin Modern is used instead. What has changed and what should be the proper use? (I have tried setting explicitly [tf=file:myfont.ttf], which was only a guess.) Alan

Hello List! It is a long time ago, that I have written the last mail to you. Thank you Taco so much, because for the new example of the Recent changes from 17.January 2019. Because: Modyfying the page before a chapter is something, that i can need. I mean this one: % next five lines just to show the effect on this wiki \setuppapersize[A8][A5,landscape] \setuppaper[nx=4, ny=2] \setuplayout[page][location=middle, marking=on] \setuparranging [XY] \setupbodyfont[6pt] % actual example starts here \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided] \startsetups [chapter:before] \doifoddpageelse {} {\pushbackground[page] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=color,backgroundcolor=gray] \page[right] \popbackground} \stopsetups \setuphead [chapter] [page=yes, before=\directsetup{chapter:before}] \starttext \startchapter[title={Knuth}] \dorecurse{2}{\samplefile{knuth}} \stopchapter \startchapter[title={Ward}] \dorecurse{1}{\samplefile{ward}} \stopchapter \startchapter[title={Zapf}] \dorecurse{2}{\samplefile{zapf}} \stopchapter \stoptext I have a question: how can I have a empty page before the next chapter without a page number? Do I have to write: \page =empty. ? Ursula Hermann

Sorting registers method for "uppercase like lowercase, diacritics ignored"
by Marcus Vinicius Mesquita 22 Jan '19

22 Jan '19

Dear list, In the wiki page https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Registers it is said that: - There’s no preset for the combination "uppercase like lowercase, diacritics ignored", try "zm,pm,zc,zm,uc". Well, I tried all possible permutations thereof, and also the predefined methods, and none gives what my editor wants, which is just "uppercase like lowercase, diacritics ignored". See MWE attached. Please, would somebody help me achieve the desired result? TIA ConTeXt version: ConTeXt Process Management 1.02 current version: 2019.01.19 12:06 Marcus Vinicius

textext with plain MetaFun
by Henri Menke 21 Jan '19

21 Jan '19

Dear list, When I process the short MetaFun example beginfig(1) draw textext("MetaFun") ; endfig; end with plain MetaFun, i.e. mpost '&metafun' test.mp the resulting file only contains “unknown”. How can I get the expected output? Cheers, Henri

Problem with grid alignment and paragraph
by Luca Donetti 19 Jan '19

19 Jan '19

Dear list, I am facing a problem with grid alignment when using paragraphs. I think it could be a bug because the MWE below produces lines which are correctly aligned to the grid with the context version included in texlive 2017, but it does not seem to work with the context in texlive 2018 and the current beta (ConTeXt ver: 2018.12.07 19:37 MKIV beta fmt: 2018.12.14). This is the MWE: \setuplayout[grid=yes] \defineparagraphs[twocols][n=2] \showgrid \starttext \starttwocols \input knuth \nexttwocols \input knuth \stoptwocols \stoptext Am I doing anything wrong? If not, I'll appreciate any suggestion or workaround. Thank you in advance for your help. LD

Scaling down symbols and emojis
by User 19087 19 Jan '19

19 Jan '19

I'm having trouble scaling down symbols and emojis. For a while I assumed these don't scale with the current font size. Then I scoured the mailing list and realized that while scaling down seems broken, scaling up works as expected: \usesymbols[mvs] \setupsymbolset[martinvogel 2] %\showallmakeup \starttext % Progressively larger as expected. \symbol[ShortForty] {\tfa\symbol[ShortForty]} {\tfb\symbol[ShortForty]} {\tfc\symbol[ShortForty]} {\tfd\symbol[ShortForty]} % Unexpectedly all the same size. \symbol[ShortForty] {\tfx\symbol[ShortForty]} {\tfxx\symbol[ShortForty]} % This works, but why? Isn't \small just a synonym for \tfx via % \definealternativestyle? Anyway there is no synonym for \tfxx. \symbol[ShortForty] {\switchtobodyfont[small]\symbol[ShortForty]} {\small\symbol[ShortForty]} % This also works but is less than ideal when matching surrounding font sizes. % Which factor should I use to match \tfxx? \symbol[ShortForty] \scale[factor=4]{\symbol[ShortForty]} % Same as above comment, more or less. \symbol[ShortForty] {\switchtobodyfont[5pt]\symbol[ShortForty]} \stoptext * MWE for builtin symbols; emojis require local fonts. I assume whichever solution would apply equally to either. thanks,

regression in fontloader?
by Ulrike Fischer 19 Jan '19

19 Jan '19

The following example gave with the generic fontloader from 2018-12-19 and luatex 1.07 two identical lines. With a fontloader from 2019-01-07 and luatex 1.09 the first line is wrong at the left side, the "j" is squashed into the next glyph: \font\test = {name:FreeSerif:mode=node;script=arab;language=DFLT;+tlig;+ccmp;+locl;+isol; +fina; +fin2;+fin3;+medi;+med2;+init;+rlig;+calt;+liga;+cswh;+mset;+curs;+kern;+mark;+mkmk;} \test \textdir TRT \pardir TRT \bodydir TRT \pagedir TRT الإشارات برهن \hbox{الإشارات برهن} \bye -- Ulrike Fischer https://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/

Hi all, I'm trying to use \startchapter...\stopchapter command to typeset an article, I need the title of the chapter in the entire \textwidth and the following parts in two columns (from abstract to references). With \chapter command, it is not problem, but I can not do it with \start..\stop command. Somebody knows how to do it ?
