Source very outdated
by Henri Menke 26 Aug '16

26 Aug '16

Dear list, I'm quite new to ConTeXt and have worked my way through a lot of documentation. The Garden is an invaluable source as well as this mailing list. Sometimes it occurs that a feature which is announced on the mailing list is neither documented in the Garden nor in some PDF. Then I proceed to browse the source where I found four resources: (1) local (for TeXlive in /usr/local/texlive/2016/texmf-dist/tex/context) (2) http://source.contextgarden.net/ (3) http://repo.or.cz/w/context.git (4) https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror The first three are outdated and the last doesn't offer full text search. I could update the first source, but I don't want to break my existing setup and often I just look at the source to find out how things are implemented or to checkout whether a new feature is worth updating. It would be great if the online sources (2) and (3) could be updated. Another option would be to move the (4) from bitbucket to github, because github offers full text search in a repository (among other features, like continuous integration or gitter.im chatroom which are all free for an open-source project, see [1] for details). I'd love to hear what the elders of ConTeXt think about this. Cheers, Henri [1] https://github.com/integrations

Evaluating a Lua expression at the end (repeat)

Dear List, Last year, Hans helped me with this example: \starttext \startluacode local name = nil local temp = 0 function document.startwhatever(s) name = s temp = 0 end function document.addwhatever(n) temp = temp + n context(n) end function document.stopwhatever() job.variables.save("document:temp:"..name,temp) end function document.getwhatever(s) context(job.variables.collected["document:temp:"..s]) end \stopluacode \def\startwhatever[#1]{\ctxlua{document.startwhatever("#1")}} \def\stopwhatever {\ctxlua{document.stopwhatever()}} \def\addwhatever #1{\ctxlua{document.addwhatever(#1)}} \def\getwhatever #1{\ctxlua{document.getwhatever("#1")}} total: \getwhatever{foo} \startwhatever[foo] test 1: \addwhatever{10}\par test 2: \addwhatever{20}\par test 3: \addwhatever{30}\par \stopwhatever \stoptext However, on my current ConTeXt on Debian (2016.05.17.20160523-1), I am unable to get it working. It says: lua error > lua error on line 37 in file /tmp/test.tex: /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/mkiv/core-uti.lua:165: attempt to index upvalue 'tobesavedmacros' (a nil value) stack traceback: /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/mkiv/core-uti.lua:165: in function 'save' [ctxlua]:14: in function 'stopwhatever' [ctxlua]:1: in main chunk 27 \def\getwhatever #1{\ctxlua{document.getwhatever("#1")}} 28 29 total: \getwhatever{foo} 30 31 \startwhatever[foo] 32 33 test 1: \addwhatever{10}\par 34 test 2: \addwhatever{20}\par 35 test 3: \addwhatever{30}\par 36 37 >> \stopwhatever 38 39 \stoptext 40 41 Could you please suggest a workaround?

Pretty print Ctx code into HTML
by Lukáš Procházka 25 Aug '16

25 Aug '16

Hello, does anybody know about a tool (maybe ConTeXt has something like this built-in) which would convert ConTeXt code into pretty-printed HTML code? E.g.: ---- t.mkiv \starttext \foo[bar] baz \stoptext ---- to be rewritten into e.g.: ---- t.html <pre class="keyword">\starttext</pre> <pre class="keyword">\foo</pre><pre class="bracet">[</pre>bar<pre class="bracet">]</pre><pre> baz</pre> <pre class="keyword">\stoptext<pre> ---- Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

APA formatting and reference questions
by Todd DeVries 24 Aug '16

24 Aug '16

Hello, I would like to use ConTeXt foracademic writing this year and am just scratching the surface of its capabilities. My first run at producing a document in APA format resulted in several questions. Below is abrief sample. In this excerpt, the following APA style formatting errors occur: 1. The first reference is cited as “Hartley, M.T. (2013).” There is usually a space separating these initials. Between the M. and T. in this reference. 2. The word “and” is appearing in both parenthetical and in-text citations. When a reference is completely within parentheses, the last author should be separated by the & (Ampersand) character. 3. The last reference has 3 authors and should be written as Koch et al (2014) instead, it replicates the entire list of authors previously cited. I must be missing something obvious in my settings. What changes to this sample need to be made to correct these formatting citation errors? Thank you in advance for any assistance or references to places in documentation where I can learn to correct these issues.

bug in widows and orphans prevention?

Dear list, I have the following sample: \showframe\showgrid \startsetups[orphanwidow] \setup[reset] \widowpenalty=10000 \clubpenalty=10000 \brokenpenalty=1 \stopsetups \setuplayout[setups={orphanwidow}] \setupbodyfont[12.5pt] %~ \setupbodyfont[pagella] \starttext \dorecurse{10}{\input zapf\par} \stoptext With both typefaces (Latin Modern at 12.5pt and TeX Gyre Pagella at 12pt), I get an orphan line on the second page. Have I hit a bug or am I missing something? BTW, I’m using latest beta from 2016.08.23 11:14. My platform is linux (32bit) and LuaTeX is 0.98.1. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

standalone / setuptex on ARM
by Philipp Gesang 23 Aug '16

23 Aug '16

Hi, when setting up Context for my phone, I noticed the ARM binaries that come with the Standalone don’t work because the system is armv7l soft-float: $ gcc -v Using built-in specs. COLLECT_GCC=gcc COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=/usr/lib/gcc/arm-linux-gnueabi/4.6/lto-wrapper Target: arm-linux-gnueabi Configured with: ../src/configure -v --with-pkgversion='Debian 4.6.3-14' --with-bugurl=file:///usr/share/doc/gcc-4.6/README.Bugs --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,objc,obj-c++ --prefix=/usr --program-suffix=-4.6 --enable-shared --enable-linker-build-id --with-system-zlib --libexecdir=/usr/lib --without-included-gettext --enable-threads=posix --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.6 --libdir=/usr/lib --enable-nls --with-sysroot=/ --enable-clocale=gnu --enable-libstdcxx-debug --enable-libstdcxx-time=yes --enable-gnu-unique-object --enable-plugin --enable-objc-gc --disable-sjlj-exceptions --with-arch=armv4t --with-float=soft --enable-checking=release --build=arm-linux-gnueabi --host=arm-linux-gnueabi --target=arm-linux-gnueabi Thread model: posix gcc version 4.6.3 (Debian 4.6.3-14) Since I’m supplying my own Luatex binary that’s no problem per se, I just had to modify setuptex a bit. Could we add a couple lines like the attached patch to the script? I’m under the impression that “armel” is a Debian specific term so feel free to change it. Though it might be better in general to use the “arm-linux-gnueabi” and “arm-linux-gnueabihf” triplets to separate the platforms. Best, Philipp

armhf luatex binary from the context minimals
by Lutz Haseloff 23 Aug '16

23 Aug '16

Hi all, i finally got the context minimals working on my phone. I use GNURoot (Debian Jessie). first-setup.sh works as expected. Only one problem remains. The luatex binary: http://minimals.contextgarden.net/current/bin/luatex/linux-armhf/bin/luatex This is LuaTex, Version 0.98.1 (TeX Live 2017/dev) ignores interword spaces completely. \starttext Test Test\kern 1cm Test \stoptext results in "TestTestTest" in the pdf. I helped myself and copied the luatex binary from the texlive binary archive to my phone. ftp://tug.org/historic/systems/texlive/2016/texlive-20160523-bin.tar.xz But i would like to try out the greatest and latest features of luatex. Is there a way to get the context minimals luatex binary properly working? Greetings Lutz

I want to place the caption of floats in the margin. I thought the locationparameter of setupcaption can be used to do this. But it doesnt work. What am I missing?

Me once again, a little bit trouble here
by Ursula Hermann 22 Aug '16

22 Aug '16

Hallo Alan, and list! Maybe someone has seen, what correspondence Henri Menke and i had. Now I have the following trouble: As you can see, I have two sections in the backmatter. I did, like Henri wrote to me, but I have two authors, which should be in two different sections: Truman in the first section: Allgemeine Literatur and Eriksson in an second section : Ich. Why are the titles in two sections? Iam sorry for the long text, but so you can understand, what I mean. Example: \startbuffer[biblio] @book{ErikssonBaaz2005, author ={Eriksson, Maria} title = {The Paternalism of Partnership. A Postcolonial Reader of Identity in Development Aid.}, year = {2005}, } @electronic{Truman1949, author = {Truman, Harry}, title = {Inaugural Address}, year = {1949}, note = {Letzter Zugriff: 10.07.2013}, url = {http:// www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/?pid=13282}, } \stopbuffer \usebtxdataset[eriksson][biblio.buffer] \usebtxdataset[truman][biblio.buffer] \usebtxdefinitions[apa] \definebtxrendering[eriksson][apa][dataset=eriksson] \definebtxrendering[truman][apa][dataset=truman] \setupbtxrendering[continue =yes] \starttext \startchapter[title={Einleitung:"Entwicklung" Behindern?}] \startnarrower[left, right] \en More than half the people of the world are living in conditions approaching misery. Their food is inadequate. They are victims of disease. Their economic life is primitive and stagnant. Their poverty is a handicap and a threat both to them and to more prosperous areas. For the first time in history, humanity possesses the knowledge and the skill to relieve the suffering of these people[...] I believe that we should make available to peace-loving peoples the benefit of our store of technical knowledge in order to help them realize their aspirations for a better life.\footnote{\cite[alternative=entry][eriksson::Truman1949]} \stopnarrower Das vorangestellte Zitat der Amtsantrittsrede des 33.
