Recursive search in resources folder
by Marcus Vinicius Mesquita 06 Jul '18

06 Jul '18

Dear list, In a project I received, there are a lot of images distributed in several folders like: figures/folder1 ... figures/folderN Which is the syntax for ConTeXt to find recursevely all images under the folder figures in the main folder of the project? I tried \setupexternalfigures[location=global,directory=figures] then ConTeXt finds the images in the figures folder, but not in the subfolders folder1, folder2, ... folderN TIA Marcus Vinicius

mtxrun fails to install fonts
by Stanislav Sokolenko 04 Jul '18

04 Jul '18

Dear list, I have what seems to be an OS- or ConTeXt version-specific issue with mtxrun installing fonts. I've been trying to add new truetype fonts (specifically Archivo ttf files) on Arch Linux using the following command: export OSFONTDIR=~/.fonts//; mtxrun --script font --reload And I've been using the following to check the installation: mtxrun --script font --list --all --pattern=*archi* It seems like a relatively new version of ConTeXt on Arch Linux (2018.04.04 00:51) recognizes but does not install the ttf files located in ~/.fonts/. The (shortened) output is: fonts | names | identifying system font files with suffix 'ttf' fonts | names | globbing path '/home/stanislav/.fonts/**.ttf' fonts | names | identifying system font files with suffix 'TTF' fonts | names | globbing path '/home/stanislav/.fonts/**.TTF' fonts | names | 8 system files identified, 0 skipped, 0 duplicates, 8 hash entries added, runtime 0.006 seconds But when I check the installation, no Archivo files are found. Strangely, an older installation on Linux Mint (2015.05.18 12:26) has no problems with the same ttf files: fonts | names | globbing path '/home/stanislav/.fonts/**.ttf' fonts | names | identifying system font files with suffix 'TTF' fonts | names | globbing path '/home/stanislav/.fonts/**.TTF' fonts | names | 8 system files identified, 0 skipped, 0 duplicates, 8 hash entries added, runtime 0.000 seconds And the check: mtxrun --script font --list --all --pattern=*archi* archivo archivomedium /home/stanislav/.fonts/typecatcher/Archivo_500.ttf archivobold archivobold /home/stanislav/.fonts/typecatcher/Archivo_700.ttf archivobolditalic archivobolditalic /home/stanislav/.fonts/typecatcher/Archivo_700italic.ttf archivodemi archivosemibold /home/stanislav/.fonts/typecatcher/Archivo_600.ttf archivoitalic archivoitalic /home/stanislav/.fonts/typecatcher/Archivo_italic.ttf archivomedium archivomedium /home/stanislav/.fonts/typecatcher/Archivo_500.ttf archivomediumitalic archivomediumitalic /home/stanislav/.fonts/typecatcher/Archivo_500italic.ttf archivonormal archivoitalic /home/stanislav/.fonts/typecatcher/Archivo_italic.ttf archivoregular archivoregular /home/stanislav/.fonts/typecatcher/Archivo_regular.ttf archivosemibold archivosemibold /home/stanislav/.fonts/typecatcher/Archivo_600.ttf archivosemibolditalic archivosemibolditalic /home/stanislav/.fonts/typecatcher/Archivo_600italic.ttf I've been searching for a couple of days and I'm at a loss. Is there a way to check why the identified system files aren't being installed? Thanks, Stan

tex-gyre fonts missing in 2018.07.02 14:39
by Thomas A. Schmitz 04 Jul '18

04 Jul '18

Hi Hans, is it possible that you forgot to include the texgyre fonts in the latest beta? I just realized that the directory experimental/tex/texmf/fonts/opentype/public/tex-gyre is missing… (and my documents are in latin modern) All best Thomas

The best command for parallel texts
by Martin Hasoň 04 Jul '18

04 Jul '18

Hi all, I need to type parallel text on double columns. I've tried paragraphs, tabulate, table and column environments. The best result of these options gives the tabulate. Unfortunately, it does not respect alignment - many \hbox errors in all environments except columns :(. What should I use and set up? \setuppapersize[A6][A6] \defineparagraphs[TwoLang][n=2] \setuptabulate[split=yes] \setupalign[verytolerant,stretch] \starttext \startTwoLang \input lorem \nextTwoLang \input davis \stopTwoLang \starttabulate[|p|p|] \NC\input lorem \NC\input davis \NC\NR \stoptabulate \bTABLE[frame=off,align=yes,split=yes] \bTR \bTD[roffset=2mm]\input lorem\eTD \bTD[loffset=2mm]\input davis\eTD \eTR \eTABLE \startcolumns[n=2] \input lorem \column \input davis \stopcolumns \stoptext Best regards Martin Hasoň

Parallel output of source data
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. 03 Jul '18

Hello, is there a way to let ConTeXt to flush the input stream in parallel into an output buffer, like: ---- \starttext A \startoutput{Test.mkiv} Hello! \startitemize \item Item \stopitemize \stopoutput B \stoptext ---- which would produce: ---- Test.mkiv Hello! \startitemize \item Item \stopitemize ---- Thank you in advance.

about \useexternalsoundtrack
by Pablo Rodriguez 02 Jul '18

02 Jul '18

Dear list, I’m interesting in embedding media clip objects (sounds) in PDF documents and using them with JavaScript (something I’d have to learn later). I found the \useexternalsoundtrack command, but I don’t get it working (https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2006/016503.html) I don’t mean that Adobe is crappy, but that no sound is embedded or referenced in the PDF document itself. Or at least, I don’t find either of them. lpdf-wid.lua seems to contain the functionality, but I don’t know how to use it in a ConTeXt document. Does anyone know how to use the functionality shown in lpdf-wid.lua? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Referencing footnotes by SECTION
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 02 Jul '18

02 Jul '18

Dear gang, When referencing footnotes that reset each chapter, is there a way to include the chapter information? See attached and below: ======= \setuphead[chapter] [alternative=normal,conversion=R] \setuphead[subsection][alternative=text] \setuphead[subsection][distance=0em, textdistance=0.7em, sectionstopper=., criterium=local] \setupnotation[footnote][way=bychapter] \setupreferencestructureprefix [section] [default] [prefixstopper=\zerowidthspace] \setupwhitespace[big] \starttext \startchapter[title={First},reference={}] \startsubsection[title={},reference={reference1}] \input ward \startfootnote[footnote1] \input ward \stopfootnote{} See \in{Footnote}[footnote2]. \stopsubsection \startsubsection[title={},reference={reference2}] \input ward \stopsubsection \stopchapter \startchapter[title={Second}] \startsubsection[title={},reference={reference3}] \input ward \stopsubsection \startsubsection[title={},reference={reference5}] \input ward \startfootnote[footnote2] \input ward \stopfootnote{} See \in{Footnote}[footnote1]. \stopsubsection \stopchapter \stoptext ======= If line 8 is commented - \setupnotation[footnote][way=bychapter] - we get what we expect. But if line 8 is activated, we get an ambiguity: Both references give back "Footnote 1" Whereas what we would like is something like this: Footnote I.1 i.e., Chapter I, Footnote 1 - for the first footnote; and Footnote II.1 i.e., Chapter II, Footnote 1 - for the second footnote. Is there a straightforward way to do this? [[Of course, for the roman chapter numbering we also run into the reference-numberconversionset issue of the other thread, where \definestructureconversionset[OLIE][n,R,n,n,n,n][n] \setupreferencestructureprefix [section] [default] [prefixstopper=\zerowidthspace, numberconversionset=OLIE] doesn't seem to work.]] Thank you in advance for any guidance or pointers you can provide!

\setupreferencestructureprefix and numberconversionset
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 02 Jul '18

02 Jul '18

Dear gang, Chapter numbers are indicated roman numerals (conversion=R), all subsectioning by decimal numerals. See attached and below: ======= \setuphead[chapter] [alternative=normal,conversion=R] \setuphead[subsection][alternative=text] \setuphead[subsection][distance=0em, textdistance=0.7em, sectionstopper=., criterium=local] \definestructureconversionset[OLIE][n,R,n,n,n,n][n] \setupreferencestructureprefix [section] [default] [prefixstopper=\zerowidthspace, numberconversionset=OLIE] % \setupreferencestructureprefix [chapter] [default] % [prefixstopper=\zerowidthspace, % numberconversionset=OLIE] \setupwhitespace[big] \starttext \startchapter[title={First},reference={}] \startsubsection[title={},reference={reference1}] \input ward See \in{Sections}[reference3] and \in{Section}[reference4]. \stopsubsection \startsubsection[title={},reference={reference2}] \input ward \stopsubsection \stopchapter \startchapter[title={Second}] \startsubsection[title={},reference={reference3}] \input ward \stopsubsection \startsubsubsection[title={},reference={reference4}] \input ward \stopsubsubsection \startsubsection[title={},reference={reference5}] \input ward See \in{Sections}[reference1] and \in{Section}[reference2]. \stopsubsection \stopchapter \stoptext ======= So, e.g., Chapter II, Subsection 1, Subsubsection 1 In the references we get 2.1.1 But what we want is II.1.1 Adding the following to the preamble doesn't appear to work: \definestructureconversionset[OLIE][n,R,n,n,n,n][n] \setupreferencestructureprefix [section] [default] [prefixstopper=\zerowidthspace, numberconversionset=OLIE] What am I missing? Thanks in advance for any guidance. Best wishes Idris -- Idris Samawi Hamid, Professor Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80512

referencing and stoppers
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 30 Jun '18

30 Jun '18

Dear gang, For, e.g., \setuphead[...][alternative=text], one often wants the stopper to appear in the main text sectioning but not in the references to those sections. For example (attached and below): ======= \setuphead[chapter] [alternative=normal] \setuphead[subsection][alternative=text] \setuphead[subsection][distance=0em, textdistance=0.7em, sectionstopper=., criterium=local] \setupwhitespace[big] \starttext \startchapter[title={First},reference={}] \startsubsection[title={},reference={reference1}] \input ward See \in{Sections}[reference3] and \in{Section}[reference4]. \stopsubsection \startsubsection[title={},reference={reference2}] \input ward \stopsubsection \stopchapter \startchapter[title={Second}] \startsubsection[title={},reference={reference3}] \input ward \stopsubsection \startsubsection[title={},reference={reference4}] \input ward See \in{Sections}[reference1] and \in{Section}[reference2]. \stopsubsection \stopchapter \stoptext ======= See Sections 2.1. and Section 2.2.. See Sections 1.1. and Section 1.2.. SHOULD BE See Sections 2.1 and Section 2.2. See Sections 1.1 and Section 1.2. Is there a straightforward way to remove the stopper from the \in reference while maintaining it in the main sectioning but removing it in the referencing? If there is no straightforward way, what is the best workaround? As mentioned at the outset, this is not an uncommon scenario. If there is no straightforward way, would like to make it a feature request. Thank you in advance for your help.

Dear List, In the MWE below, I expected the numbers to appear above the cow figure.
