Typesetting abbreviations
by Clyde Johnston 28 Oct '18

28 Oct '18

What is the correct way to typeset an abbreviation in ConTeXt? The space after the full stop seems too big and if I use \thinspace, I cannot use ties. No command - space is too big \starttext Mr. John Doe \stoptext With tie - space is too big \starttext Mr.~John Doe \stoptext With \thinspace - looks right except at an end of line \starttext Mr.\thinspace John Doe \stoptext Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks, Clyde

Possible seeindex enhancement
by Rik Kabel 27 Oct '18

27 Oct '18

List, I am looking for a way to modify the text used for \seeindex (in English, "see") to have two types of seeindex result in the same index register. I would like to produce, for example, pseudepigraphy, 103,/see also obliteration/ and at the same time be able to produce the standard Marut, Ret,/see Traven, B./ For the first of these in print documents (no interaction required) I can use \seeindex{pseudepigraphy}{also obliteration}, but that does not produce an interactive link. Can anyone suggest how to accomplish this? -- Rik //

hyphenation
by Hans van der Meer 26 Oct '18

26 Oct '18

Using roman numbers in figures I encountered a case where XIII.9 was hyphenated into XI-II.9. A bit unclear, in my opinion. Easily repairable with something like \def\myfigure[#1]{{\nohyphens\in{figure}[#1]}} Just an observation, not really a problem but maybe something waiting to be fixed. dr. Hans van der Meer

Bibliography sort and name-hyphenation issues
by Rik Kabel 24 Oct '18

24 Oct '18

List, Given this example: \enabletrackers [publications.authorhash] \startbuffer [bib] @book{dalambert1743, title = {Traite de Dynamique}, author = {Jean Le Rond d’Alembert}, publisher = {David l’aîné}, address = {Paris}, language = {french}, year = {1743}, } @book{darwin1871, author = {Charles Darwin}, title = {The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex}, year = {1871}, publisher = {John Murray}, address = {London}, } @book{dee1564, author = {John Dee}, title = {Monas Hieroglyphica}, year = {1564}, publisher = {Gulielmus Sylvius}, address = {Antwerp} language = {latin}, } @book{defoe1704, author = {Daniel Defoe}, title = {An Essay on the Regulation of the Press}, year = {1704}, publisher = {sine nomine}, address = {London}, } @book{montaigne1908, title = {The Essayes of {Michael} {Lord} of {Montaigne}}, subtitle = {Done into {English} by {John} {Florio}}, volumes = {3}, volume = {1}, author = {Montaigne, Michel de}, introduction= {Thomas Seccombe}, translator = {John Florio}, origlanguage= {latin}, publisher = {Grant Richards}, address = {London}, year = {1908}, origyear = {1603}, } @book{digbyetal1712, author = {John Digby and others}, title = {{Epicurus’s} Morals}, publisher = {Sam. Briscoe}, year = {1712}, address = {London}, } @book{querard1850, author = {Joseph-Marie Quérard}, title = {Les supercheries littéraires dévoilées, galerie des auteurs apocryphes, supposés, déguisés, plagiaires, et des éditeurs infidèles, littérature française}, year = {1850}, publisher = {Imprimerie Maulde et Renou}, address = {Paris}, language = {french}, } \stopbuffer \usebtxdefinitions [apa] \usebtxdataset [bib.buffer] \starttext \placebtxrendering [method=dataset] \stoptext I expect to see a bibliography (reference list in APA terms) in the order: d'Alembert Darwin Dee Defoe de Montaigne Digby Quérard But the actual result is quite different (see attached), with de Montaigne following Digby, no hyphen between the initials in the Quérard entry, and an odd handling of d’Alembert. (The authorhash does have the hyphen for the Quérard entry.) So, the question is, what can be done to get the desired (APA defined) order (alphabetize letter-by-letter, ignoring spaces, capitalization, hyphens, apostrophes, periods, and accent marks)? Beyond that, what can be done to get Montaigne sorted with M entries (displayed as “Montaigne, M. de” or “de Montaigne, M.”)? -- Rik

--|--- not transformed to endash|emdash
by Tomas Hala 24 Oct '18

24 Oct '18

Hi all, usually, if one writes -- or ---, will receive real en-dash or em-dash, respectively. I just tried font called JohnBaskerville (commercial; from Štorm type foundry, CZ) but I got only '--' and '---', ie. sequences were not transformed to the proper characters. Dashes are present in then font, commands \endash and \emdash produce them correctly. What could be wrong? Best wishes, Tomáš

Problem updating 32b version
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. 24 Oct '18

24 Oct '18

Hello, I encountered problem updating ConTeXt. I'm still using 32b built due to some deps on 3rd party libs (32b, too). Running 'first-setup.bat' doesn't create 'tex\texmf-mswin\' directory as usually. I also modified the first-setup.bat to avoid 64b platform testing - see the first-setup.txt attached (.bat renamed to .txt due to mail filters). The 'tex' dir has now: texmf\ texmf-cache\ texmf-context\ texmf-fonts\ texmf-local\ texmf-modules\ texmf-project\ texmf-win64\ setuptex setuptex.bat setuptex.csh but it used to be: texmf\ texmf-cache\ texmf-context\ texmf-fonts\ texmf-local\ texmf-modules\ texmf-mswin\ <<<< WAS HERE texmf-project\ texmf-win64\ setuptex setuptex.bat setuptex.csh The log (first-setup.bat > Upd.log) may be downloaded here (~700 kB): http://leteckaposta.cz/260806806 Could anyone test obtaining 32b version of ConTeXt? TIA. Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

Hardcoded file extensions in typescript
by Henri Menke 24 Oct '18

24 Oct '18

Dear devs, Motivated by https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/456435 I found that the type-imp-source.mkiv typescript hardcodes the .ttf extension for the font files. However, TeX Live distributes those files with the .otf extensions, hence they are not found. Please fix! Cheers, Henri

\setuphead for a section block
by Pablo Rodriguez 23 Oct '18

23 Oct '18

Dear list, imagine that I need a different setup for chapter in the bodymatter than in the frontmatter and appendices. The way to do it seems to be: \setuphead[chapter][style=\bf] \startsectionblockenvironment[bodypart] \setuphead[chapter][style=\em] \stopsectionblockenvironment \starttext \startfrontmatter \chapter{Introduction} \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \chapter{Chapter} \stopbodymatter \stoptext But wasn’t there a command similar to the following one for such purposes? \setuphead[bodypart:chapter][style=\em] I remember that there was something similar to that command to setup headings in a section block. Am I creating my memories or did a similar option exist? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
