by Lizardo M. Reyna Bowen 20 Aug '18

Hi, There is a way to put the guitar chords above of a syllable? I have tried with \high{G} command, but it is not the correct form. The result must be similar to this. https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/104222/songs-package-chord-size Thanks for you help -- Lizardo

Change PDF viewer with Scite
by Fabrice Couvreur 20 Aug '18

Hello, The default viewer is GhostView. I would like to replace it with Evince. In user mode, I edited the /usr/share/scite/scite-context.properties file to replace the command.2 line. $ (File.patterns.context) = $ (name.context.gsview) $ (FileDir ) / $ (FileName) .pdf by command.2. $ (File.patterns.context) = $ (name.context.evince) $ (FileDir) / $ (FileName) .pdf It does not work . Thank you. Fabrice

With the latest beta, labels do not work for me. With the following code: \definelabel[Q] \starttext Label: \Q[abc] Label: see \in[abc]. Reference: \reference[def]{2} Reference: see \in[def]. \stoptext I get: and the log states: references > unknown reference '[][abc]' while with tl18, I get the expected: -- Rik

structures.lists.ordered empty in latest beta
by Joseph Canedo 19 Aug '18

19 Aug '18

Hi, I use the global lua table ConTeXt provides called : structures.lists.ordered to perform some manipulations with sections (using structures.lists.ordered.section which is itself a lua table), but from latest beta it seems that that variable (a lua table) is now completely empty. Is this expected ? Thanks a lot Best regards Joseph

by Ulrike Fischer 18 Aug '18

18 Aug '18

On the luaotfload tracker was a bug report that the loading of a font failed if too many character variant were requested https://github.com/lualatex/luaotfload/issues/424 I wanted to check if the problem still exist with a current fontloader. Here (both context and latex) the loading of this fonts fails even if no character variants at all are requested: \starttext \font\x={file:iosevka-type-slab-regular.ttf} \x ablub \stoptext gives ...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/font-oup.lua:2137: bad argument #1 to 'for iterator' (table expected, got nil) The font can be get from https://github.com/be5invis/Iosevka/releases it is in the 07-iosevka-type-slab-2.0.0.zip. -- Ulrike Fischer https://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/

Hello, I want to create a template with a header on the first page for student testing. If the document contains text that is on more than one page, it works perfectly. On the other hand, if the document has text on one page, it does not work. Thanks.

How can I remove a blank leading line from a buffer
by Rik Kabel 16 Aug '18

16 Aug '18

%% How can one remove blank lines at the start of a buffer so that %% commands that grab a buffer can be used in the same way as, for %% example, \startparagraph...\stopparagraph, which allow blank %% lines around the content? %% %% The problem appears when an optional argument is allowed but none %% is provided. Adding \relax does not help; adding empty brackets %% does. I see no way to distinguish between a buffer without %% leading blank lines and a buffer that was created when brackets %% are provided. %% %% \inlinebuffer handles the leading blank lines when there is %% nothing prepended, but I need to prepend. (It also handles the %% unwanted trailing line, but that is not an issue here). %% %% How can I unpack the buffer, apply the equivalent functions of %% ignorespaspaces and removeunwantedspaces to it, and repack it? %% The buffer may contain internal blank lines and macros, and %% those should be retained. Or, is there already a function to %% strip a buffer in the manner that string.strip does a string? \setupwhitespace[none] \setupindenting[none] \define\Mark{\color[middlegray]{\itb¿\ }} \define\First{nothing yet} \define\Arg{nothing yet} \setuplanguage[en][spacing=packed] \starttexdefinition unexpanded startBufTest \bgroup \dosingleempty\dostartBufTest \stoptexdefinition \starttexdefinition dostartBufTest [#SETUPS] \doifsomethingelse{#{SETUPS}} {\define\Arg{yes}} {\define\Arg{no}} \iffirstargument \define\First{yes} \else \define\First{no} \fi \relax \getrawparameters[BufTest][xx=yy,#SETUPS] \grabbufferdata[TestBuffer][startBufTest][stopBufTest] \stoptexdefinition \starttexdefinition stopBufTest \startparagraph \dontleavehmode\llap{\Mark}\inlinebuffer[TestBuffer] \ (first: \First, arg: \Arg) \stopparagraph \egroup \stoptexdefinition \starttext \startparagraph A starting paragraph. \stopparagraph \startBufTest Buffer without blank lines. \stopBufTest \startparagraph An intervening paragraph. \stopparagraph \startBufTest Buffer with blank lines. \stopBufTest \startparagraph An intervening paragraph. \stopparagraph \startBufTest\relax Buffer with \tex{relax}. \stopBufTest \startparagraph An intervening paragraph. \stopparagraph \startBufTest[] Buffer with \type{[]}. \stopBufTest \startparagraph An intervening paragraph. \stopparagraph \startBufTest[key=value] Buffer with \type{[key=value]}. \stopBufTest \startparagraph A closing paragraph. \stopparagraph \stoptext \stopmode %% -- %% Rik Kabel
