margin of left/right floats
by Henning Hraban Ramm 04 Apr '18

04 Apr '18

Hello again, this should be a simple question, but I didn’t find anything (or probably didn’t look at the right places): How can I setup/change the margin beside a float (image) that is placed left or right?

BTX subsystem fubar, borked, failing with current (2018-04-02) beta
by Rik Kabel 04 Apr '18

04 Apr '18

MWE from page 4 of mkiv-publications (same example found at in the Garden <http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Bibliography_mkiv>) produces: with an empty bibliography. I get similar results with other documents that processed cleanly in the past. Has the documentation (including the sample code) simply failed to keep up with recent changes? -- Rik

entity substitution
by dr. Hans van der Meer 03 Apr '18

03 Apr '18

Does ConText always process DOCTYPE definitions? Because in the next example the defined XXX entity is substituted in one case but not in the other. In a directory I have the following files: doctype.tex = \startxmlsetups demo:setups \xmlsetsetup{#1}{root}{demo:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{demo}{demo:setups} \startxmlsetups demo:root \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startbuffer[demo] <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE Entities [<!ENTITY XXX "My xxx definition">]> <root> See &XXX; for &XXX;. </root> \stopbuffer \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{demo}{demo}{} \stoptext Produces as output a subtituted entity But doctype-public.tex = \startxmlsetups demo:setups \xmlsetsetup{#1}{root}{demo:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{demo}{demo:setups} \startxmlsetups demo:root \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startbuffer[demo] <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE Entities PUBLIC "namen.dtd" "file://namen.dtd"><root> See &XXX; for &XXX;. </root> \stopbuffer \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{demo}{demo}{} \stoptext namen.dtd = <!ENTITY XXX "This is my XXX definition"> The last two do not output a substituted entity. Why is this not working? What I am doing wrong? dr. Hans van der Meer

Strange behaviour of \start/stopplacefigure
by Tomas Hala 03 Apr '18

03 Apr '18

Hi, in the example below I came across the very strange behaviour of key location: if I use values none or top, the following paragraph is indented according to the settings whereas if I use the value bottom, the first line of the following paragraph starts just on the left, without any indentation. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for a help, Tomáš %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% TL2017 \starttext \indenting[yes,2em,first] \setupfloat[indentnext=yes] 1none. \input knuth \startplacefigure[location={none,}] \setupcaption[width=0.45\makeupwidth,align={nothyphenated,middle},textcommand=\crlf,distance=0cc] \startfloatcombination[2*1] \placefigure{caption left}{\externalfigure[cow.pdf][height=5cm]} \placefigure{caption right}{\externalfigure[cow.pdf][height=5cm]} \stopfloatcombination \stopplacefigure 1top. \input knuth \startplacefigure[location={top,none,}] \setupcaption[width=0.45\makeupwidth,align={nothyphenated,middle},textcommand=\crlf,distance=0cc] \startfloatcombination[2*1] \placefigure{caption left}{\externalfigure[cow.pdf][height=5cm]} \placefigure{caption right}{\externalfigure[cow.pdf][height=5cm]} \stopfloatcombination \stopplacefigure 1bottom. \input knuth \startplacefigure[location={bottom,none,}] \setupcaption[width=0.45\makeupwidth,align={nothyphenated,middle},textcommand=\crlf,distance=0cc] \startfloatcombination[2*1] \placefigure{caption left}{\externalfigure[cow.pdf][height=5cm]} \placefigure{caption right}{\externalfigure[cow.pdf][height=5cm]} \stopfloatcombination \stopplacefigure 1end. \input knuth !!!

define xml entity
by dr. Hans van der Meer 03 Apr '18

03 Apr '18

How do I define an xml entity like ä? Is there an \xml-operation for defining an entity? Such that I can say \xml{ABC}{an alphabet} for using &ABC; so that it produces “an alphabet”, for example. dr. Hans van der Meer

structureuservariable
by Henning Hraban Ramm 31 Mar '18

31 Mar '18

Please consider: \starttext \startchapter[title=Test][author=Tufte] \input tufte\par Author: \structureuservariable{author} \startsection[title=Section] \input knuth\par Author: \structureuservariable{author} (empty!) \stopsection \stopchapter \stoptext i.e. the variable that I define in chapter is reset in the next section. But I need it for the whole chapter (i.e. for a head text). Is there some setting to avoid that reset? Greetlings, Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD

Bug in wrapped placefigure
by Henri Menke 29 Mar '18

29 Mar '18

Dear devs, When a figure is wrapped in a paragraph and that paragraph is the first in a section, ConTeXt adds spurious vertical space above the text (eyeballing it, I'd say it is \topskip). Find MWE with workaround below. Found at https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/423817 Cheers, Henri --- \setupwhitespace[big] \starttext \startsection[title=section] \startmode[fix] % Set default whitespace \setupwhitespace[none] \stopmode \startplacefigure [location={right}, title={just a dummy figure}] \externalfigure[dummy][width=.5\textwidth] \stopplacefigure \input lorem \startmode[fix] % Restore whitespace \setupwhitespace[big] \stopmode \input lorem \stopsection \stoptext

Combine overlapping margin notes with separator
by Benjamin Epstein 29 Mar '18

29 Mar '18

Hello! I am typesetting a text with line numbers in the margin and am interested in combining them if two should end up on the same line, dividing them with a comma or something like that. With the code below, the first line of the output contains an overlapping "1" and "2" in the margin. I would like the "1" and "2" not to be overlapping, nor to be stacked like \setupmargindata[stack=yes] would get me, but rather to automatically combine those that would overlap to get something like "1,2". Current output: https://i.imgur.com/RaTQ1ZO.png Desired output: https://i.imgur.com/oWKigTX.png Is there a reliable way to implement this? Any help would be appreciated! *** \starttext \inmargin{1}Now we are engaged in a great civil war. \inmargin{2}We are testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. \inmargin{3}We are met on a great battle-field of that war. \stoptext *** Thank you, Benjamin

(fake) bold as font feature
by Pablo Rodriguez 28 Mar '18

28 Mar '18

Hans, would it be possible to add a embold feature (similar to the slanted font feature) that fakes the bold font with \starteffect[both]...\stopeffect and it doesn’t strecht the font? This was already requested by Ulrike Fischer (https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2017/090094.html) Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

How to setup the footnote number in local footnotes
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 26 Mar '18

26 Mar '18

Dear gang, Consider the following: ============== \starttext \startframedtext[width=fit,frame=off,offset=0pt] % \startlocalfootnotes[n=2] \startlocalfootnotes \input ward \startfootnote \input ward \stopfootnote \placelocalfootnotes \stoplocalfootnotes \stopframedtext \stoptext ============== See attached: 1) Would like the footnote-number counter to start at 2, not 1. 2) Alternatively, would like to be able to define a conversion that sets the footnote numeral to 2. 3) Uncommenting the line % \startlocalfootnotes[n=2] doesn't work, although it is mentioned here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/startlocalfootnotes So that must be for MKII.. Any pointers in setting up 1) and 2) are much appreciated. Thank you in advance! Best wishes Idris -- Idris Samawi Hamid, Professor Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80512
