font pathes with colons
by Ulrike Fischer 13 Jun '18

13 Jun '18

I have been playing around with lua fonts and investigating where to store and how to load them. The best with luaotfload and latex seems to be currently to get (with a kpse call) the absolute path and then load with the "xetex" syntax: \font\duckchessfont = [\directlua{tex.sprint(kpse.find_file("luafont-duckchess.lua", "misc fonts"))}]:mode=node;+liga;+tlig;original=latinmodernsans This worked but I also saw in the log curious messages luaotfload | load : font option "/Users/XXXX/Documents/Git/lua-font- pond/texmf/fonts/misc/luafont/luafont-duckchess.lua]:mode=node" unknown. I investigated a bit. I'm on windows and imho this looks as if the syntax parser is splitting after the C: of the drive and putting the rest in the specification.detail field. As far as I can see the code which does the splitting is in font-def.lua and so part of the generic code. Is there anything that can be done to correct his? Or can one somehow protect the colon after c: to be interpretated as file-detail separator? -- Ulrike Fischer http://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/

OT: Pexeso (one missing rule)
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. 12 Jun '18

12 Jun '18

Hello, there is a card game called "Pexeso". It is played by two or more players with pairs of cards of identical pictures. Initially, cards are spread regularly and are turned upside down. The first player turns two cards; if they are identical, he picks them and continues turning two more cards. If both cards do not show the same picture, ---> THEY ARE TURNED BACK UPSIDE DOWN and the next payer follows. (So the game is about to remember as many cards as possible which have been turned/shown.) The game stops when there are no more cards to turn. Who collects more pairs of cards is winner. Usually, you can buy Pexeso of Barbies, princesses, road signs, castles, ... My little son (of nearly 4 years) ignores all above as he is interested (or even fascinated) by construction machinery and woodworking tools. So I decided to create a Pexeso of woodworking tools for him with the following points: - Pictures to be processed are placed in the subdirectory called "1" (may be changed). - Pictures whose name do not start by "-" have the first letter uppercased shown on the card ("education" for letters). - You may simply change the text or MP code to draw the card back. - Backs of cards are intentionally a bit randomized (I am curious how quickly children are able to recognize some cards by their backs). - When the number of cards is not multiple of two (also my case), two more backs of cards will be drawn. This is intended and it comes due to some simplicity of the code; and it doesn't matter to anything. - Source uses UTF-8 coding. - There are no dependencies to external files (excluding pictures). - The source file is attached. Due to the size (~2.3 MB), all data including the result and source pictures are available for download here: http://leteckaposta.cz/611754576 (The link will be valid for ~27 days from now.) Enjoy!

Graphics gets extra indent if hanging in list
by Mikael P. Sundqvist 11 Jun '18

11 Jun '18

Hi! Please look at the example below. I wish the red rectangle to be located as the green one aligned with text to the right, but it gets pushed a bit (the space to the left in the list?). Am I doing things wrongly? Is it possible to fix easily? /Mikael \setuppapersize[A6] \starttext \starthanging[location=right]{\blackrule[color=darkgreen,width=1in,height=0.5in]} \input ward \stophanging \startitemize[n] \item \starthanging[location=right]{\blackrule[color=darkred,width=1in,height=0.5in]} \input ward \stophanging \stopitemize \stoptext

highlighting in registers (index)
by Henning Hraban Ramm 11 Jun '18

11 Jun '18

According to http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Registers#Processors, processors are the MkIV way of highlighting within index entries. If there are highlighted and not-highlighted entries, the normal version wins. If there is a highlighted version with subentry, the subentry becomes highlighted and is sorted unter the normal main entry, if there doesn’t exist a normal entry with the same subentry. (These are just observations, I wouldn’t know how it should be different.) But: Is there a way to highlight just subentries? e.g. \index{Sun+emph->rays} """ \defineprocessor[emph][style=italic] \starttext \index{Sun} \index{Sun->rays} \index{emph->Sun} \index{Sun+emph->rays} % doesn’t work \index{emph->Sun+rays} % rays upright \index{emph->Sun+beams} % beams italic \placeindex[n=1] \stoptext """ Greetlings, Hraban --- https://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.dreiviertelhaus.de GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD

issue with hyphenation patterns
by Pablo Rodriguez 11 Jun '18

11 Jun '18

Dear list, I have the following sample: \setuplanguage[agr][patterns={agr, en}] \setuplanguage[en][patterns={en, agr}] \starttext \hyphenatedword{judgmental} \agr \hyphenatedword{judgmental} \stoptext I wonder why \en hyphenates the word and \agr doesn’t. I mean, both languages have the same patterns loaded. Using \de or \es, hyphenation works fine in both cases: \setuplanguage[agr][patterns={agr, deo}] \setuplanguage[deo][patterns={de, agr}] \mainlanguage[de] \starttext \hyphenatedword{Klugheit} \agr \hyphenatedword{Klugheit} \stoptext \setuplanguage[agr][patterns={agr, deo}] \setuplanguage[es][patterns={es, agr}] \mainlanguage[es] \starttext \hyphenatedword{experimentado} \agr \hyphenatedword{experimentado} \stoptext If this isn’t a bug, what am I missing? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

With TL18, the following produces the expected xml and associated files. \setupbackend [export=yes] \starttext \input knuth \stoptext With current betas, the xhtml file contains: <error>invalid xml file - parsed text</error> and the other files have similar content. Can anyone reproduce the error or offer a workaround? -- Rik

sort order in registers (indexes)
by Henning Hraban Ramm 10 Jun '18

10 Jun '18

Ahoi, usually, uppercase index entries are sorted before all lowercase entries. Is there a simple setup to change that? i.e. I need the sorting sum - Sun - sunny instead of Sun - sum - sunny I know I can influence sort order for single entries, but I’d like a general setting. (Diacritics are handled as wanted.) \starttext \strut \index{Sun}\index{sun}\index{Suomi}\index{suave} \index{sunny}\index{sum}\index{Sumatra}\index{summon} \index{sample}\index{super} \index{şample}\index{südlich}\index{súper} \index{şun}\index{sün}\index{şüñ} \completeindex \stoptext Greetlings, Hraban --- https://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.dreiviertelhaus.de GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD

ToC as itemize
by Henning Hraban Ramm 10 Jun '18

10 Jun '18

Hi again, Alan Bowen invented this interesting setup where the table of contents is to be included in an itemize. E.g. Foreword ........ I 1. Smth unrelated .. II 2. Author: Title ... 1 3. Author: Title ... 5 etc. Only 2. and 3. come from a "list" of chapters, other entries are added manually. The attached not-really-minimal working example also handles the author setup – IRL we use a lot of user variables for metadata that needs different representation in ToC and titling. This is the core code: \define[1]\ChapterTocEntry{% \startitem \structurelistuservariable{author}: #1\leaderfill\currentlistentrypagenumber \stopitem } \definelist[chapter][% alternative=b, interaction=all, criterium=all, textcommand=\ChapterTocEntry, pagecommand=\gobbleoneargument, ] \startContentsList %\sym{}Preface\leaderfill\at{Preface} % Preface unnumbered \startitem Test entry\leaderfill 123 \stopitem \placelist[chapter][criterium=all] \stopContentsList The actual problem: The chapter list entries don’t adhere to the formatting of the itemize. I guess there’s some expansion problem, due to the \startitem inside if the textcommand? Greetlings, Hraban --- https://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD

Bug with \setuptagging and layers
by Rik Kabel 10 Jun '18

10 Jun '18

When the first line of the following example is removed, all is well. With it present, the image in the layer has the text "image" added to the image. This problem is not present in, inter alia, TL18. \setuptagging [state=start] \setupexternalfigures [location=default] \definelayout [testpage] \definelayer [testpage] [width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight] \startsetups [testpage] \setlayerframed [testpage] [preset=rightbottom,hoffset=.25in,voffset=.25in, background=color,backgroundcolor=yellow] {\externalfigure[cow.pdf]} \stopsetups \setupbackgrounds [page] [setups=testpage,background={testpage}] \starttext \startmakeup [testpage] \framed[background=color,backgroundcolor=yellow] {\externalfigure[cow.pdf]} \stopmakeup \stoptext -- Rik
