integer displayed as .0 float in Lua-5.3
by Pablo Rodriguez 12 Aug '18

12 Aug '18

Dear list, I have the following sample \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=1em] Pages: \ctxlua{context([[\lastpage]])}. Next page: \ctxlua{context([[\lastpage]] + 1)}. (Lua \luaversion) \stopTEXpage \stoptext With Lua-5.2 (ConTeXt with JIT), I get the expected results. But with Lua-5.3 (standard ConTeXt), I get 2.0 as the value for the next page. I’m afraid that there is a bug here. I was told that the integer type has been introduced in Lua-5.3. I had experienced the same issue with the handlecsv module. In my very limited understanding of the issue, integers are displayed as .0 floats. I wonder which would be the way to fix it. Is this a real bug or am I missing something? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

footnote and endnote markers aligned with the left margin of the main text
by Robert Zydenbos 11 Aug '18

11 Aug '18

Sorry for all these footnote questions, but here's another one. I want to print the notes without the footnote marker jutting out into the margin, but flushed with the left margin of the main text. Any help will be highly appreciated. Robert

Using \dorecheckindentation inside a group
by Aditya Mahajan 10 Aug '18

10 Aug '18

Hi, In t-filter module, I use a group inside \startfilter ... \stopfilter to keep various definitions local. However, as reported on [1], this breaks the `indentnext` option. The following minimal example illustrates the issue: \unprotect \definenamespace [whatever] [ name=whatever, command=yes, setup=list, parent=whatever, ] \appendtoks \setuevalue{\e!start\currentwhatever}{\start_whatever[\currentwhatever]}% \setuvalue {\e!stop\currentwhatever}{\stop_whatever}% \to \everydefinewhatever \starttexdefinition start_whatever \dodoubleargument\start_whatever_indeed \stoptexdefinition \starttexdefinition start_whatever_indeed[#1][#2] \begingroup % to keep assignments local \edef\currentwhatever{#1} \setupwhatever[#1][#2] \stoptexdefinition \starttexdefinition stop_whatever \useindentnextparameter\whateverparameter \dorechecknextindentation \endgroup \stoptexdefinition \protect \definewhatever[whatever] \setupindenting[big,yes] \startbuffer \input ward \startwhatever \input tufte \stopwhatever \input ward \stopbuffer \starttext \section{With indentnext=yes} \setupwhatever[indentnext=yes] \getbuffer \section{with indentnext=no} \setupwhatever[indentnext=no] \getbuffer \section{with indentnext=auto} \setupwhatever[indentnext=auto] \getbuffer \stoptext I use a \begingroup inside \start_whatever to keep the definitions local (otherwise \setupwhatever[#1][#2] will change the global setup). This means that I have to use \dorecheckindentation \endgroup. As a result, when I use `indentnext=auto`, the check for \par fails (see the third case in the above example). How can I fix this? Thanks, Aditya [1]: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/445198/context-break-paragraph-afte…

Dear Thomas, Using your example, > \starttext > > \startitemize[n,text] > \startitem > One > \stopitem > \startitem > Two > \stopitem > \stopitemize > > \stoptext > I tested the following example and it is working well. %%%%% \starttext \startitemize[n,text] \item This is the first sentence. \par \item This is the second sentence. \par \item This is the third sentence. \par \stopitemize \stoptext %%%%% The numbers are always in the () by default like (1) (2)… I’d like to ask one thing more. Is it possible to make the output 1), 2), 3)? \startitemize[n,text][stopper=,left=,right=)] just add one more ) like (1)),… Thank you for reading. Best regards, Dalyoung

Buffer within a \def
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. 10 Aug '18

10 Aug '18

Hello, I'm not very familiar with using buffers, so a basic question: Is it possible to use buffers within a \def? The following sample doesn't compile: ---- \def\T{ \startbuffer[Buf] a b ccc d e f \stopbuffer \getbuffer[Buf] } \starttext \T A \stoptext ---- What's wrong? Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

referencing the equation
by Jeong Dal 10 Aug '18

10 Aug '18

Dear, The examples in mathalign.pdf(p4 - ) tells us the method of referencing the equation. The numbers for the equation is written as (1.1), and in the text, it is written as (1.1). That is the numbers are always surrounded by ( , ). In the output of the following code, the equations are numbered surrounded by (). But there is no (), when we referece it. What is the difference between MWE and mathalign.pdf. Thank you for reading. Best regards, Dalyoung

by Alan Braslau 09 Aug '18

09 Aug '18

Gentle ConTeXt user, * Do you still struggle with lua? (I do, because it is magic and mysterious) * Are you baffled by MetaPost? (because MetaPost is beautiful and particular) * Are you itching to get Hans to fix this or fix that? (or are you willing to learn what you are doing wrong) * Do you want to meet in person some of those who write and answer emails on this mailing list? * Do you want to blow us away with some fabulous new idea, or impress us with some really beautiful typeset text? * Do you want to attend fun lectures and presentations from morning 'till night? * Do you want to perhaps code until who knows when? * Or perhaps you wish to partake in some good Czech beer and some excellent Czech wine (with moderation)? * Or simply, do you not want to miss out on a really great time?? Then we wish to bring your attention the the 12th International ConTeXt Meeting to be held in Prague-Sibrina in the Czech Republic from Sunday September 2nd through Saturday September 8th, 2018. http://meeting.contextgarden.net *A fun time will be had by all!* Alan "... and may your night be restful"

resetting footnote counter
by Robert Zydenbos 09 Aug '18

09 Aug '18

What I've done is the following: I've made a zip archive (see attachment) with a few relevant files – the two first files that will be a part of the book: preface.tex and how-to-use.tex, together with an environment file manual-environment-xasia.tex with a lot of settings, and the starting file sample.tex which puts everything together. This does not need odd things like exotic fonts, and it does not contain uncommon tables etc. I've changed the main font to TeX Gyre Termes, which all of us have (so I assume, since it comes with the major TeX distributions), so there should be no problems there either; but if there is an error message, you can comment out line 12 in manual-environment-xasia.tex and de-comment line 13 to turn the font into Times (or you can change the name of the font to anything you have on your computer). Right now I am using an iMac with the latest OS installed. The 'footnotes' will be placed at the end of the chapters (i.e., they will be endnotes). If you run sample.tex through ConTeXt and XeTeX (i.e., MkII) and look at the final page, you will see that the footnote / endnote marker has not been reset. Robert > On 9.

resetting footnote counter
by Robert Zydenbos 09 Aug '18

09 Aug '18

A simple footnote question this time. I would like to print endnotes at the end of every chapter in my book, and then reset the footnote counter so that in the next chapter the first note will be ‘1’ again. I suppose this should be done by means of \setupfootnotes – but with which parameter? Robert
