Thanks for the explanation and wiki.contextgarden.net link. Should ConTeXt simply refuse to process the project file, instead of the message that it is producing a project PDF? In some cases might it be helpful to regenerate in one pass the complete set of products for a project. I guess that is a job for a shell script rather than TeXShop. Thanks again Henri, Mike

Character translation with Luaotfload
by Hans Åberg 13 Jun '17

13 Jun '17

Since Luaotfload is extracted from ConTeXt, I figure people here will know this: In the code below, math mode '.' and ',' are translated into ':'and ';', which seems to occur because that is what ASCII/Unicode has in those positions, unlike CMMI. So how to correct this? The issue is really trying to find get texinfo.tex working with Unicode fonts using LuaTeX, as it probably does not work with ConTeXt. (Later versions of the former use LuaTeX UTF-8 directly without translations.) ---- \input luaotfload.sty \font\stix={file:STIX-Regular.otf} at 10pt \font\stixit={name:STIXMath-Regular} at 10pt \font\stixsc={file:STIX-Regular.otf} at 7pt \font\stixscsc={file:STIX-Regular.otf} at 5pt \stix \textfont0=\stix \textfont1=\stixit % Translates ',' into ';'. \scriptfont0=\stixsc \scriptscriptfont0=\stixscsc \scriptfont1=\stixsc \scriptscriptfont1=\stixscsc \textfont2=\stix \textfont3=\stix Hello 𝑃, ±, $𝑥 = ±𝑦_𝑃$, $$𝑃_0, …, 𝑃_{𝑘 - 1} ⊢ 𝑃.$$ \end ----

nested \xmlprocessfile calls
by Meer, Hans van der 13 Jun '17

13 Jun '17

In a document <root> <file name="file1"/><file name="file2"/></root> a series of xml files is processed. The nodes processed are as usual defined in \xmlsetsetup{#1}\writestatus{}{MARKER}{node1|node2|..}{name:*}\stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{name:setups} The root is called with \xmlprocessfile{root}{filename}{} and has a setup as follows: \startxmlsetups name:root % each inner <file> node is in turn called with \xmlprocessfile{root-node in file}{filename from attribute}{} \stopxmlsetups The problem is that the \xmlsetsetup is called each time one of the file's is processed, as shown by the MARKER in the log. However, it is the intention to process the setups one and for all. How can the apparent rereading on the defining setups be restricted to an inital setup only? Hans van der Meer

Position of standard footnotes that are set-up in floats
by Sebastian L. 13 Jun '17

13 Jun '17

Hello together, I have the following example: I place a simple float (a graphic) in the text within \startplacefigure...\stopplacefigure and create a footnote with the graphic's source, that I want to be placed as simple footnote at the bottom of the page. CTX, LuaTX do this just fine. But when the float is being set on the next page, due to spacing, then the footnote remains on the initial page, i.e. the footnote stays on page 1, whereas the float with its description text and the footnote marker are set on page 2. Is it possible to make the footnote's location depend on the location of the float, rather than where the last text passage was before the float? An example: \startplacefigure[title={Heijunkabox \footnote{source: https://commons.wikimedia.org/Box.svg}}, reference=gfxHeijunka, location=] \externalfigure... \stopplacefigure Thanks in advance for any suggestions, Sebastian.

Simply try latin modern has all kind of issues ... and it's inconsistent with cambria, other gyre fonts etc ... in a decade of luatex and open type math fonts i captured a lot of font issues in runtiem fixes but that will always give side effects so, i can fix somethign for you with lm and then someone else complains about lucida etc etc as i explained before, primes are a mess conceptually .. not a real character and not a proper superscript candidate either so when one corrects for one aspect one has to fight the other also, we have unicode and therefore multiple primes are one character i simply have no time (nor motivation) to spend days on some temporary solution that will be complained about also and discarded a while later anyway Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Bug regarding placement and size of primes
by Mathias Schickel 12 Jun '17

12 Jun '17

Dear Hans, the newest beta (I have updated some hours ago) contains again some bugs regarding the size and placement of primes. You can verify that by using the following minimal example (created to show some older bugs being resolved meanwhile): %%%%%%% \starttext % Compare $f'$ to $(f')$ and to $f''$, $(f'')$, $f^{''}$ and $(f^{''})$. % \startformula % \int\nolimits_a^b \bigl(\|f(x)\|\bigr)\, {\mathrm d}x % \stopformula % \stoptext %%%%%%% The output is attached. The primes are obviously rendered too small. And while $f'$ seems to lead to a placement of the prime a little too low, $f^{'}$ seems to cause the prime being placed too high. Best Mathias

Typesetting all documents in a project
by Mike O'Connor 12 Jun '17

12 Jun '17

Hello all, I'm setting up a new project structure, and having trouble when I typeset the project file in TeXShop with engine ConTeXt (LuaTeX). The console report includes... close source > level 2, order 7, name '/Users/mhoc/Documents/projects/histories/history-earlyMidWest/proj-git/context/project_guide.tex' system > invalid \starttext ... \stoptext structure and further down... mkiv lua stats > result saved in file: project_guide.pdf, compresslevel 3, objectcompresslevel 3 The claimed output “project_guide.pdf” does not materialise (nor should it). Instead I hoped typesetting "project_guide.tex" would create a PDF of each product mentioned i.e. "prd_guide" in this case ; a way of generating in one action all outputs for a project. I saw the same result in the TexLive 2017 version, but the above messages are from the latest beta: My ConTeXt ver: 2017.05.15 21:48 MKIV beta fmt: 2017.6.10 Grateful for any hints about where I'm going wrong. Mike ----- project_guide.tex ----- \startproject project_guide \environment env_guide \product prd_guide \stopproject ----- prd_guide.tex ----- \startproduct prd_guide \project project_guide \environment env_guide2 \startfrontmatter \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \component c_guide.tex \stopbodymatter \startbackmatter \stopbackmatter \stopproduct ----- c_guide.tex ----- \startcomponent c_guide \project project_guide \starttext \startchapter[title={Chapter 1}] Chapter 1 begins here. \stopchapter \stoptext \stopcomponent

problem loading attachments (important for my work)
by Pablo Rodriguez 11 Jun '17

Dear list, I have the following sample: \setupinteraction[state=start] \setupinteractionscreen[option=attachment] \setuppapersize[A5, landscape] \setuppagenumbering[location=] \starttext File: \attachment[file={h:/general-documents/document.pdf}] \stoptext I’m afraid that the file exists and ConTeXt in Win10 (64bit) isn’t able to load the file. ConTeXt loads \attachment[file=document.pdf], but not documents with paths. Could anyone confirm the issue in Windows? This is important for my work. BTW, if you don’t want to invoke "net use", "subst" may do the trick (https://ss64.com/nt/subst.html) Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

splitting a landscape table with local footnotes
by Alan Bowen 08 Jun '17

08 Jun '17

I have a very long table (landscape) with local footnotes that I wish to split over two pages so that (a) the table is on a verso page and (b) the notes on the next recto page. Any suggestions about how to do this will be gratefully received. Here is a MWE that is not too small, I hope. \starttext \dorecurse{5}{\input knuth} \setupnotation[footnote][numberconversion=characters] \startlocalfootnotes \setupTABLE[frame=off,split=yes] \setupTABLE[c][1,2,3,4,5,6][roffset=.3pc] \setupTABLE[c][2,3,4,5,6,7][loffset=.3pc] \startplacetable[title={Hellenistic calendars}, location={page,header,high,90}] %leftpage does not seem to work {\setbox\scratchbox\vbox{% \bTABLE \bTABLEbody \bTR\bTD \eTD \bTD Babylonian\eTD \bTD Greek\eTD \bTD Egyptian\eTD \bTD Roman\eTD \bTD Judaean% \footnote{\input knuth}\eTD\eTR \eTABLEbody \eTABLE} \par \hsize\wd\scratchbox \box\scratchbox \par \placelocalfootnotes \stoplocalfootnotes} \stopplacetable \stoptext Alan
