mtxrun uses 'nil' for platform
by Vladimir Lomov 16 Apr '18

16 Apr '18

Hello list, recent update of context suite (beta) changed something in the code of 'mtxrun' so now it shows me a warning: ${CONTEXT}/bin/mtxrun:20683: attempt to concatenate a nil value (field 'platform') I didn't notice this warning earilier. The line 20683 in 'mtxrun' is local texos="texmf-"..os.platform To check the return of 'os.platform' I made small lua script and run it as mtxrun --script SCRIPT --platform=linux-64 It returned 'nil nil'. Is this expected behavior? % SCRIPT.lua ----------------------- 8< ------------------------ local plat=os.platform local plat2=os.getenv("MTX_PLATFORM") print("platform = ", plat) print("platform2 = ", plat2) ----------------------- 8< ------------------------ --- WBR, Vladimir Lomov -- Hacking's just another word for nothing left to kludge.

\replaceword with spaces
by Pablo Rodriguez 15 Apr '18

15 Apr '18

Dear list, I have the following sample: \replaceword[some][via ][Vía] \replaceword[some][calle ][c/ ] \replaceword[some][ calle][ Calle] \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=2em] This is what I get: \setreplacements[some]% calle via del viaducto de la calle \resetreplacements This is what I need: c/ Vía del viaducto de la Calle \stopTEXpage \stoptext Is there any way to get spaces in the string to be replaced? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

links don’t work with focus=standard
by Pablo Rodriguez 15 Apr '18

Hans, I’m afraid that links with "focus=standard" are broken after beta from 2018.04.13 14:53. \setupinteraction[state=start, focus=standard] \starttext \completecontent \chapter{Chapter} a\footnote{footnote} \stoptext I think that all links that worked fine before the latest fix (https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2018/091304.html) don’t work now. Could you fix them? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Prevent repeated caption for split table
by Magnus J 15 Apr '18

I have a long natural table split vertically over several pages. How can I prevent the caption from being repeated on the second page? Or even better, how can I have a different caption? /MJO

Questions about \starttext
by Tomas Hala 15 Apr '18

15 Apr '18

Hi all, doing some tests I discovered two interesting facts. The first is that commands \starttext and \stoptext do not behave as a group. Minimal example (tested on TL2015, TL2016, TL2017, current CTX from the Garden): \starttext text \starttext \bf text \stoptext text % this text is in bold, too. \stoptext Is this the expected behaviour, or not? The second interesting thing is that the unbalanced document is compiled without protests: Minimal example #1 (tested on TL2015, TL2016, TL2017, current CTX from the Garden): \starttext text % in this case, the "text" is shipped out Minimal example #2 (tested on TL2015, TL2016, TL2017, current CTX from the Garden): text % in this case, the "text" is not shipped out \stoptext If this is ok, it does not correspond to our garden wiki (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/starttext) "The first command takes care of a number of initializations, and the last command tells TEX that processing can stop. When this command is left out TEX will display a * (a star) on the command line at the end of the job. TEX will expect a command, for example \end."

newcolumnsets: Why are settings only applied on left pages?
by Henri Menke 14 Apr '18

14 Apr '18

Dear list, I want to have columns of different widths in my document. Therefore I'm using the newcolumnsets (aka pagegrids). However, it seems as if my settings are only applied on right pages. Why is that? I tried adding page=left and page=right but that doesn't do anything. MWE is below. Cheers, Henri --- \usemodule[newcolumnsets,visual] \definepagegrid[example][n=3,distance=.05\makeupwidth] \setuppagegrid[example:1][width=.4\makeupwidth] \setuppagegrid[example:2][width=.25\makeupwidth] \setuppagegrid[example:3][width=.25\makeupwidth] \starttext \startpagegrid[example] \dorecurse{6}{\fakewords{50}{75}\column} \stoppagegrid \stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] Font fallback scaling
by Magnus J 13 Apr '18

13 Apr '18

Well that's even more odd. Is it visible in the attachment? Tested with updated Acrobat Reader and Sumatra pdf viewer without any visible \prime or \doubleprime, except in the footnote (where there is no \wedge on the other hand)... Note that \prime is visible as a footnote symbol, which is also in math mode. If I comment *all* of the \definefallbackfamily rows, it shows in the math example (but then it's Termes of course). With any of the \definefallbackfamily uncommented, it won't show. Should I disable the fallback for a specific character, i.e., remove the characters from one of the fallback ranges? And how is that done? I don't care if Termes is used for most of the symbols, but I want to keep as much Garamond as possible in math mode, especially for letters and number. /MJO > On 4/13/2018 12:34 PM, Magnus J wrote: > > > $D\prime = 0.98$ % <-- no \prime in output > > > > $D\doubleprime = 0.98$ % <-- no \doubleprime in output > hm, i see primes here > > > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE > Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands > tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl > -----------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks, I could have sworn I had tested that. With my new setup, I still have trouble with some characters in math mode. Specifically, I don't see the \prime and \doubleprime characters in math mode, and I can't use \wedge as a footnote symbol. Consider this commented example, pdf result attached. /MJO % define the characters to use for Garamond in math mode \definefontfamilypreset [math:somesymbols] [range={0x0002A-0x0002E,0x000A7,0x000B6,0x000D7,0x000F7,0x02020-0x02021,0x02212,0x02219-0x02226,0x02228-0x02265,0x02012,0x0003C-0x0003E,0x0007C}, tf=style:regular, offset=lowercasenormal, ] \definefallbackfamily[mainface][math][Adobe Garamond Pro][rscale=1.05,range=digitsnormal] \definefallbackfamily[mainface][math][Adobe Garamond Pro][rscale=1.05,range=lowercasenormal] \definefallbackfamily[mainface][math][Adobe Garamond Pro][rscale=1.05,range=lowercaseitalic] \definefallbackfamily[mainface][math][Adobe Garamond Pro][rscale=1.05,range=uppercasenormal] \definefallbackfamily[mainface][math][Adobe Garamond Pro][rscale=1.05,range=uppercaseitalic] \definefallbackfamily[mainface][math][Adobe Garamond Pro][rscale=1.05,range=math:somesymbols] \definefontfamily[mainface][serif][Adobe Garamond Pro] \definefontfamily[mainface][math][TeX Gyre Termes Math][scale=0.9] \setupbodyfont[mainface,11pt] % footnotes \defineconversion[avhset][\m{\wedge},\m{\prime}] \setupnotation[footnote][way=bypage,numberconversion=avhset] \enabletrackers[fonts.missing] \starttext $D\prime = 0.98$ % <-- no \prime in output $D\doubleprime = 0.98$ % <-- no \doubleprime in output wedge\wedge\footnote{wedge} % <-- lua stats > unknown math characters: ∧ (U+02227) (n=2) prime\prime\footnote{prime} % <-- \stoptext > On 4/12/2018 6:17 PM, Magnus J wrote: > > I use Adobe Garamond Pro in combination with Termes Math for math (the > > latter for missing glyphs, Garamond is not very complete).

This issue is not about a trade-off between print-ability and inter-activeness. If I understand Hans' position correctly, then at least part of his reasoning is the following (please correct me if I'm wrong): It is easy to produce two versions of a document from one common source, one version for print and one for the screen. The former needs no interactive links and the latter should best be viewed fullscreen, i.e., without scrolling, in which case focus=standard is unnecessary. While I largely agree with this approach, many of the ConTeXt users (including myself) are not in a position to decide how their documents should be published. I believe that many of today's PDF documents still are meant to be both, viewed on screen and printed. And it's only for this scenario that focus=standard makes sense. Kind regards, Christoph
