Hans, I have tried to update the ConTeXt Suite to latest beta and I got the following message: $ ./first-setup.sh --modules=all receiving incremental file list sent 29 bytes received 155 bytes 122.67 bytes/sec total size is 8,660,630 speedup is 47,068.64 ./bin/mtxrun:5878: attempt to call local 'ln' (a nil value) I think there may be a bug there. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Tabulate containing high element
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. 01 Nov '17

01 Nov '17

Hello, how to make tabulate row "aware" of some content of some "bigger" height? In the following sample: ---- \starttext \starttabulate[|pd(.4\textwidth)|p|] \HL \NC \framed[location=top,width=1in,height=1in]{Abc} \VL Def \NC\NR \HL \stoptabulate \stoptext ---- content of the \framed flows out of the height of the first row; I'd like the first row to have height of the highest element (here: the \framed - be 1 in). How to achieve this? Thank you in advance. Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

Tagging nested itemize with interaction
by Christoph Reller 31 Oct '17

31 Oct '17

Dear Hans, Consider the following MWE with nested multi-column itemize and item label: \setuptagging[state=start] \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext \startitemize[n] \item[label] First \startitemize[a, columns] \item Second \item Third \stopitemize \stopitemize\crlf Bla \in{Item}[label]. \stoptext The above results in a PDF whose tag tree looks as follows: ‹document› |-‹itemgroup› itemize | |-<item> | | |-‹itemtag› | | | '-"1." | | '-‹itemcontent› | | |-"First" | | '-‹itemgroup› itemize | | |-‹item› | | | |-‹itemtag› | | | | '-"a." | | | '-‹itemcontent› | | | '-"Second" | | '-‹item› | | |-‹itemtag› | | | '-"b." | | '-‹itemcontent› | | '-"Third" | '-‹link› | '-"Item 1" |-"Bla" '-"." In this tag tree, the ‹link› item is placed wrongly inside the topmost ‹itemgroup›. It sould be located between "Bla" and ".". This happens only if: 1. An itemization with multiple columns is nested in an itemization 2. Interaction is enabled. I think this is a bug. Please consider fixing it. Kind regards, Christoph

Two requests for new btx subsystem
by Rik Kabel 31 Oct '17

31 Oct '17

Two improvement requests for the new bibliography subsystem: 1. Tag titles (and subtitles) with the language explicitly provided in the bib entry. 2. Add editor and translator to fields supported in \cite[field][tag]. An example follows. It shows that the title generated by the \cite[title][tag] does not have an associated language, even though the bib entry specifies one and the publications manual indicates that this is intended for the rendering and hyphenation of the title. It is apparently used for that in the bibliography, but it is needed as well in the text. (And yes, /Formenwandlungen/ does have the same hyphenation points in both German and English; this was just a convenient example.) It also shows that [translator] is not inserted into the text. *NOTE* that when \cite[editor][tag] is attempted (and present in the bib entry) compilation halts with the Lua error no string to print, but continues to completion when allowed. \mainlanguage[en] \startbuffer[TestBib] @BOOK{Tschichold1953, author = {Jan Tschichold}, title = {Formenwandlungen der \&-Zeichen}, year = {1953}, publisher = {D. Stempelag}, address = {Frankfurt am Main}, language = {german}, } @BOOK{Plaat1957, author = {Jan Tschichold}, translator = {Frederick Plaat}, title = {The Ampersand: Its origin and development}, year = {1957}, publisher = {Woudhuysen}, address = {London}, note = {Translation by F.\ Plaat of \cite{Tschichold1953}.}, } \stopbuffer \loadbtxdefinitionfile[apa] \usebtxdataset [TestBib] [TestBib.buffer] \definebtxrendering [TestBib] [apa] [dataset=TestBib] \setupspellchecking [state=start, method=3] \definecolor [word:de] [r=.85] \starttext \startparagraph \cite[title][TestBib::Plaat1957] is a translation by \cite[translator][TestBib::Plaat1957] of \cite[title][TestBib::Tschichold1953] by \cite[author][TestBib::Tschichold1953]. \stopparagraph \startparagraph {\it The Ampersand: Its origin and development} is a translation by Frederick Plaat of {\it\de Formenwandlungen der \&-Zeichen} by Jan Tschichold. \stopparagraph \blank[big] \placebtxrendering[TestBib][method=dataset] \stoptext -- Rik

luatex
by Hans Hagen 30 Oct '17

30 Oct '17

Hi, Luigi and I are currently looking into Lua 5.3 in combination with LuaTeX. We have an experimental setup and all seems to work well, which given the new number model of Lua is good news. Depending on how we compile the binaries we either gain some speed or in the worst case loose half the performance but that will be sorted out one of these days as we know where to look. For most users the consequences will be minimal but for those who use a lot of Lua it makes sense to keep an eye on the subtle differences between 5.2 and 5.3 which is why I post this. For TeXLive we don't expect the switch before 2019 (so 2018 will ship two binaries with the 5.2 one the official one) but for the context distribution we will make the switch earlier so that we can test in real situations.

autopunctuation—semicolon key oddity
by Alan Bowen 30 Oct '17

Using the “semicolon” key with a space before it does not work. Remove the space and it does. \starttext \setupmathematics[autopunctuation={all, semicolon}] \m{a;b}\quad \m{a,b}\quad\m{a.b}\quad\m{1;11}\quad \m{1,11}\quad\m{1.11} \setupmathematics[autopunctuation={all,semicolon}] \m{a;b}\quad \m{a,b}\quad\m{a.b}\quad\m{1;11}\quad \m{1,11}\quad\m{1.11} \stoptext Alan

substituting characters in math font
by Alan Bowen 29 Oct '17

29 Oct '17

I need to substitute the regular and italic characters of a publisher’s non-math font (Unicode) for those in a math font. The non-math addresses are: 0041-005A, 0061-007A %italic uppercase and lowercase 0391-03A9, 03B1-03C9 %slanted Greek uppercase and lowercase The math addresses are: 1D434-1D44D, 1D44E-1D467 %italic uppercase and lowercase 1D6E2-1D6FA, 1D6FC-1D714 %slanted Greek uppercase and lowercase Is there a way to use the \definefallbackfamily mechanism that does not assume that the characters have the same Unicode addresses? Or is some other approach required? Alan

vertical alignment of images in Natural Table
by Martin Althoff 28 Oct '17

28 Oct '17

Hello, I am trying to vertically align images within a bTABLE/Natural Table cell. The result should be 4 cards on an A4 page with a simple maths exercise and a small image that illustrates the exercise. The image should be horizontally and vertically centered within the space after the text. Exercise text and image size vary somewhat, so a fixed placement is not possible. I have tried \vfill, but it seems to have no effect in a Natural Table. Similarly, \placefigure has not worked for me. As basic layout I am using a Natural Table (4 x 4 cells per page, 12 pages), maybe not the best solution. Alternative suggestions are most welcome. Suggestions would be much appreciated. Martin \starttext \setupTABLE[frame=on,offset=2mm] \setupTABLE[c][1,2][width=.5\textwidth] \setupTABLE[r][1,2][height=.5\textheight] \bTABLE \bTR \bTD 7·3 apples are on a tree. Anne picks 4·3 apples. \blank[.5em] How many apples remain on the tree? \framed[align={low,middle},location=lohi,width=local]{\externalfigure[apple]} \eTD \eTABLE \stoptext

Wiki pages on Unicode blocks
by N. Raghavendra 28 Oct '17

28 Oct '17

Based on what I have learnt from the replies to my queries in the last few days, I have added the following Wiki pages on Unicode blocks in ConTeXt: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Unicode_blocks_in_ConTeXt http://wiki.contextgarden.net/List_of_Unicode_blocks I will be adding a section of references to each of these two pages in a couple of days. I am not an expert on anything, and would be glad to learn if there are any errors in these pages. Thanks and regards, Raghu. -- N.
