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

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.

OT: help from native speakers
by Henning Hraban Ramm 28 Jun '18

28 Jun '18

Hi there, I’m writing (and later typesetting, of course) a book for young people (in German) that contains a short scene in English. My young protagonists meet an American couple in Lübeck, and I’d like them to speak natural and not think like me. Are you a native speaker and would you like to create that scene with me? (No special requirements, just be yourself.) I’ve got a concept that you could comment/correct, or we can do this like a roleplay (I’ll tell you what you see and hear, you tell me how you’d react). I’d also enjoy hearing about typical (or just funny) mistakes of young Germans trying to talk in English. Otherwise have a nice summer!

6-sided letter fold (TRYPTICHON) with unequal page size
by Marco Patzer 28 Jun '18

28 Jun '18

Hi, I try getting a 6-sided letterfold with unequal page size to work. This is how it's supposed to look like: https://www.saxoprint.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/roll-fold-leafl… This is easy with the arranging option TRYPTICHON. *But* the page sizes are not equal and manually adjusting them shifts them not the way they're supposed to. Page 4 and 5 need to be a bit less wide to be able to fold neatly. Page width 1,2,3,6: 10cm Page width 4,5: 9.7cm How to adapt for the changed page size without an overlapping page 4 and a page with clearance to the adjacent 6th page? Suggestions welcome! Here the example you've all been waiting for: %% 6-sided letter fold %% https://www.saxoprint.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/roll-fold-leafl… \definepapersize [flyer] [width=10cm, height=21cm] \definepapersize [flyer-small] [width=9.7cm, height=21cm] \setuppapersize [flyer] [A4, landscape] \setuplayout [page] \setuparranging [TRYPTICHON] \starttext \showframe 10cm:\blank \rightaligned{\blackrule[width=10cm]}\vfill{\tfd\currentpage} \page 10cm:\blank[5mm] \blackrule[width=10cm]\vfill{\tfd\currentpage} \page 10cm:\blank[8mm] \blackrule[width=10cm]\vfill{\tfd\currentpage} \page %% shifts page to the left, why? \setuppapersize [flyer-small] [A4, landscape] 9.7cm:\blank[11mm] \rightaligned{\blackrule[width=9.7cm]}\vfill{\tfd\currentpage} \page \setuppapersize [flyer-small] [A4, landscape] 9.7cm:\blank[14mm] \blackrule[width=9.7cm]\vfill{\tfd\currentpage} \page \setuppapersize [flyer] [A4, landscape] 10cm:\blank[10mm] \blackrule[width=10cm]\vfill{\tfd\currentpage} \stoptext Marco

bidi in footnotes
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 27 Jun '18

27 Jun '18

Dear gang, In the attached/following example, bidi is not applied in the footnote: \setupdirections[bidi=global] \starttext \definedfont[file:almfixed.otf*arabic at 14pt] Test امتحان test \startfootnote \definedfont[file:almfixed.otf*arabic at 14pt] Test امتحان test \stopfootnote{} \stoptext Is there something else that I need to do? Thanks in advance! [Also: Is there a way to not have to declare \definedfont twice?] Best wishes Idris -- Idris Samawi Hamid, Professor Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80512

Problem with luatex experimental on linux armhf
by Lutz Haseloff 27 Jun '18

27 Jun '18

Hi all, since the replacement of poppler by pplib the self-compiled luatex executables doesn't work properly anymore. The binaries compile without stop errors. The size of the binaries is about 2MB less than with poppler. The embedding of pdf files doesn't work. ConTeXt breaks without writing a logfile and the last lines on the terminal are: ... fonts > preloading latin modern fonts (second stage) fonts > 'fallback modern-designsize rm 12pt' is loaded mtx-context | fatal error: no return code, message: luatex: execution interrupted I think, pplib isn't enabled. In the build.sh, there is a line: (336) (cd libs/poppler; $MAKE all ) but /libs/poppler doesn't exist. My testfiles are: \starttext \externalfigure[a.pdf] \stoptext a.tex \startMPpage fill fullcircle scaled 5cm withcolor blue; \stopMPpage Is there anything I can do or is it a problem of the source? Greetings Lutz

Table generator : Issues with borders and rotated cells
by Xavier Dionne 27 Jun '18

27 Jun '18

Hi everyone, Excuse my poor English. I recently updated my online table generator (http://latex-tables.com) to support ConTeXt. It also supports many languages, like LaTeX, Plain TeX, Markdown, HTML and more. It uses the eXtreme table format and supports many features including : - Borders, border width and border color - Merged cells - Background color - Alignment (flushleft, center, flushright) - Splitted tables - Rotated tables - Caption - More... However, I have many issues that I have trouble to fix. 1/ I have many troubles with borders, because I can't set the color and the width of each border. Instead, I use "fake rows" and "fake cells" when it is necessary. However, I can't figure out how to set the height of a row to 0.4pt. It's always bigger. So, instead I use "location=hanging" on this row but, because of this, borders are hidden behind the next row's background. What can I do about this ? MWE without background color : \definecolor[Siren][r=0.502,g=0,b=0.251] \definecolor[Rose][r=1,g=0,b=0.502] \definecolor[FlushOrange][r=1,g=0.502,b=0] \definecolor[ElectricViolet][r=0.502,g=0,b=1] \definecolor[Chartreuse][r=0.502,g=1,b=0] \definecolor[BlushPink][r=1,g=0.502,b=1] \placetable[none]{}{ \startxtable[align=lohi,framecolor=Siren,frame=off,leftframe=on,rightframe=on] \startxrow[offset=overlay,location=hanging,topframe=on] \startxcell\stopxcell \startxcell[framecolor=Rose]\stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell[rightframe=off,framecolor=cyan] A\stopxcell \startxcell[rightframe=off,framecolor=FlushOrange] B\stopxcell \startxcell[width=0pt,framecolor=ElectricViolet]\stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow[offset=overlay,location=hanging,topframe=on,framecolor=Chartreuse] \startxcell\stopxcell \startxcell[framecolor=BlushPink]\stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable } MWE with background color \definecolor[Siren][r=0.502,g=0,b=0.251] \definecolor[Rose][r=1,g=0,b=0.502] \definecolor[FlushOrange][r=1,g=0.502,b=0] \definecolor[ElectricViolet][r=0.502,g=0,b=1] \definecolor[Chartreuse][r=0.502,g=1,b=0] \definecolor[BlushPink][r=1,g=0.502,b=1] \definecolor[Dolly][r=1,g=1,b=0.502] \placetable[none]{}{ \startxtable[align=lohi,background=color,backgroundcolor=Dolly,framecolor=Siren,frame=off,leftframe=on,rightframe=on] \startxrow[offset=overlay,location=hanging,topframe=on,background=none] \startxcell\stopxcell \startxcell[framecolor=Rose]\stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell[rightframe=off,framecolor=cyan] A\stopxcell \startxcell[rightframe=off,framecolor=FlushOrange] B\stopxcell \startxcell[width=0pt,framecolor=ElectricViolet]\stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow[offset=overlay,location=hanging,topframe=on,framecolor=Chartreuse] \startxcell\stopxcell \startxcell[framecolor=BlushPink]\stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable } 2/ I have trouble with rotated cells. It seems to affect the width of the table. How can I use a rotated cell without setting manually a fixed width. MWE : \placetable[none]{}{ \startxtable[align=lohi] \startxrow \startxcell \rotate[rotation=90]{Test test test}\stopxcell \startxcell Test\stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell Test\stopxcell \startxcell Test\stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable } Thank you ! - X.D.

Custom tags, revisited
by Rik 27 Jun '18

27 Jun '18

In September 2015 thread "Custom XML Export," Hans instructed us on how to create custom tags. The example he presented is: \setupbackend[export=yes] \definehighlight[this] \starttext \startelement[what] \this{that} \input ward \stopelement \stoptext When that example is run with the current (2018-06-25) beta or TL18, there is no html body: </head> <body> <div class="document" xmlns="http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/export"> <div class="warning">Rendering can be suboptimal because there is no default/fallback css loaded.</div> <div> <div class="metadata"> </div> </div> </div> </body> </html> Further experimentation suggests that \startelement is gobbling the output. (Adding \setupstructure does not change the result.) What is the proper way to add custom tags? -- Rik
