A decade or so ago I read about a program callable from within Context that would create flowcharts etc. Was this Metapost? Or was it a different program? John Culleton

Stixtwo spacing between upright integrals and lower limits
by Mikael P. Sundqvist 04 Oct '17

04 Oct '17

Dear Hans (and others), In the tex stackexchange chat today we were discussing the stix two fonts, and in particular the spacing between the integral sign and the lower bound. It is known that this was way to big before (see https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/327710/52406) but it seems that it is still too big, at least if one uses the upright version. Judge yourself from the example file at the end of this email (result attached). I made a bug report (see https://sourceforge.net/p/stixfonts/tracking/95/) but Ulrike Fischer said that it could take time to get it fixed, and that you Hans made a fix for another bug ( https://sourceforge.net/p/stixfonts/tracking/86/) in the fontloader. Can you do that for this one as well? During the discussion Harald Hanche-Olsen came up with the following "quick fix" for LuaLaTeX: \usepackage{luatexbase,luacode} \begin{luacode} local patch_stixmath = function (fontdata) if fontdata.psname == "STIXTwoMath" then fontdata.characters[983352]["italic"]=3*fontdata.characters[983352]["italic"] end end luatexbase.add_to_callback ( "luaotfload.patch_font", patch_stixmath, "change_stixmath" ) \end{luacode} I don't know if this is the way to go, but I thought I should include it. Best regards, Mikael %%% TEST FILE %%% \setupbodyfont[stixtwo] \setupmathematics[ integral=nolimits, ] \startTEXpage[offset=3bp] With slanted integral: \startformula \int_0^\pi \sin x\,dx=2. \stopformula \setupmathematics[stylealternative={upright}] With upright integral: \startformula \int_0^\pi \sin x\,dx=2. \stopformula \stopTEXpage

sql / swiglib doesnt find lib
by Michael Eidenbenz 02 Oct '17

02 Oct '17

Hello, I'm experimenting with the SQL interface in context. My testfile compiles with: utilities.sql.setmethod("client"), but I don't manage to setup the swiglib method. Following the instruction described in swiglib-mkiv.pdf, I compiled the mysql library for osx, and put it into: context/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/lib/luatex/lua/swiglib/mysql/core.dylib But I get this error: swiglib > unknown: 'swiglib.mysql.core' my texmf.cnf has the line CLUAINPUTS = .;$SELFAUTOLOC/lib/{$progname,$engine,}/lua// Thanks!

size of footnote numbers
by Henning Hraban Ramm 30 Sep '17

30 Sep '17

Ahoi, in my current book there are some quotations typeset in a smaller type (via \switchtobodyfont in a defined startstop). Now the author insists that their footnote numbers should have the same size as in the body text. Since the footnotes are mostly source annotations at the end, it makes some sense. What would be the best way to achieve this? Here’s my setup: \setupbodyfont [alegreya,rm,11pt] % usual font size \startsetups[myQuotation] \setupwhitespace[none] \setupnarrower[left=2em,right=2em] \switchtobodyfont[rm,10pt] % I guess I should change the footnote number font size here? \stopsetups \definestartstop[myQuotation][ setups=myQuotation, before={ \testpage[2] \startnarrower[left,right] \noindent}, after={\stopnarrower \indenting[next]}] Greetlings, Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD

line correction
by MF 29 Sep '17

29 Sep '17

Hello list, I would like ConTeXt to snap normal text to grid after a quotation. This example does not work: -------------- \setupquotation[before={\switchtobodyfont[9pt]}] \starttext \showgrid \input knuth \startlinecorrection[halfline] \startquotation \input sapolsky \stopquotation \stoplinecorrection \input knuth \stoptext -------------- If I prepend a \setuplayout[grid=yes], it works, but grid snapping introduces also other side effects I don't want (i.e. tall formulas inside text taking too much vertical space). I would like the halfline spaces before and after the quotation to shrink or stretch a bit to the nearest multiple of the main text line height. Is there an automatic way to get the normal text "return" on the grid after a quotation without turning on a global grid snapping? Thanks, Massi

Hi all, I know I can break ligatures with \/, like Auf\/lage, but is there a general dictionary approach, like \hyphenation{} ? Greetlings, Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD

synctex, TeXShop and \input files
by Otared Kavian 29 Sep '17

29 Sep '17

Hi all, Some time ago Hans added a new synctex command which seemed to work quite well: on a Mac running MacOS and TeXShop I could for instance click on a sentence in the PDF file produced by ConTeXt and the sentence was highlighted in the source file, even it were part of an \input file. For instance after typesetting the file: %%% begin synctex-example.tex \setupsynctex[state=start,method=max] \starttext \input knuth.tex \hairline \input ward.tex \stoptext %%% end synctex-example.tex I could click on the sentence « The separation of any of these » in the PDF file and the file knuth.tex was opened and those words highlighted. In the recent versions of ConTeXt (the latest being ConTeXt version 2017.09.25 19:19 MKIV) this does not seem to work anymore. As a matter of fact even when the source file is not an \input file, the syncing between the PDF and the source does not work anymore. So my questions are the following (the « or » below is a mathematical one…): 1) Has the \setupsynctex command changed recently? 2) Or am I having troubles with the latest version of TeXShop (version 3.88). 3) Or is there an issue with the MacOS I am using (version 10.13 Beta). Thanks in advance for any kind of help. Best regards: OK

With the https protocol the upload of a new version indeed works. Thank you also for updating the help page. Regards, Christoph

minor bugfix
by Lawrence 27 Sep '17

27 Sep '17

Hi mailing list, Got another bug report for you. I was perusing the mkiv source files, and I noticed that: in the file "grph-inc.mkiv", lines 68 and 69 should have commas at the end of the line. (On noticing this I had a quick search through the rest of the source files for similar errors. I don't think there are any other such typos.) For reference, my context version is hot off the presses, "ConTeXt ver: 2017.09.25 19:19 MKIV beta fmt: 2017.9.27" Best regards, Lawrence

errors
by Hans Hagen 27 Sep '17

27 Sep '17

Hi, At the context meeting there was a bit of discussion about error messages. I looked into that a bit an ddecided to provide a summay option. The following text: \enabledirectives[logs.errors] % context --errors \setupinteraction[state=start] \environment is-not-there \usemodule[x][foobar] \starttext \chapter[foo]{foo} \in{foo}[foo] \in{bar}[bar] \chapter[bar]{bar} \in{foo}[foo] \in{bar}[bar] \xmlload{main}{crapcrap.xml}{} oeps \in{foo}[foo-a] oeps \char 999 \par oeps \in{foo}[foo-a] oeps \char 995 \par oeps \in{foo}[foo-b] oeps \char 991 \par \externalfigure[dummy] \dorecurse {10} { \samplefile{sapolsky} {\sl \char 999 \char 995 \char 991} {\bf \char 999 \char 995 \char 991} {\bfa \char 999 \char 995 \char 991} {\bfb \char 999 \char 995 \char 991} {\bfc \char 999 \char 995 \char 991} \par } \stoptext will produce (at the end of a run): system > start missing files system > tex is-not-there system > stop missing files modules > start missing modules modules > x-foobar modules > stop missing modules lxml > start problematic xml files lxml > 1 crapcrap.xml lxml > stop problematic xml files references > start missing references references > 4 [][foo-a] references > 2 [][foo-b] references > stop missing references fonts > start missing characters: c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex/texmf/fonts/opentype/public/lm/lmroman10-bold.otf fonts > 90 U+003DF ϟ GREEK SMALL LETTER KOPPA fonts > 90 U+003E3 ϣ COPTIC SMALL LETTER SHEI fonts > 90 U+003E7 ϧ COPTIC SMALL LETTER KHEI fonts > stop missing characters fonts > start missing characters: c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex/texmf/fonts/opentype/public/lm/lmroman12-bold.otf fonts > 10 U+003DF ϟ GREEK SMALL LETTER KOPPA fonts > 10 U+003E3 ϣ COPTIC SMALL LETTER SHEI fonts > 10 U+003E7 ϧ COPTIC SMALL LETTER KHEI fonts > stop missing characters fonts > start missing characters: c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex/texmf/fonts/opentype/public/lm/lmroman12-regular.otf fonts > 1 U+003DF ϟ GREEK SMALL LETTER KOPPA fonts > 1 U+003E3 ϣ COPTIC SMALL LETTER SHEI fonts > 1 U+003E7 ϧ COPTIC SMALL LETTER KHEI fonts > stop missing characters fonts > start missing characters: c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex/texmf/fonts/opentype/public/lm/lmromanslant12-regular.otf fonts > 10 U+003DF ϟ GREEK SMALL LETTER KOPPA fonts > 10 U+003E3 ϣ COPTIC SMALL LETTER SHEI fonts > 10 U+003E7 ϧ COPTIC SMALL LETTER KHEI fonts > stop missing characters graphics > start missing figures graphics > dummy graphics > stop missing figures In order to get the missing characters message we currently need to say \enabletrackers[fonts.missing] (which btw has some options, see manual) but in a next update of luatex you will get the log without this too. Specially for Taco there is: \enabledirectives[logs.errors=missing characters] which will quit with an exit state 1 (given that he runs an upcoming version of luatex). It was not that trivial to achieve this but at least it's there (soon).
