Environments
by Hans Aberg 07 Jul '15

07 Jul '15

ConTeXt does not seem to have LaTeX style environments. FYI, for the latter, I developed [1] a long time ago more advanced ones: The environments admit hooks, i.e., code executed before and after the local group. The name can be omitted in the closing, which works also when using one environment to define a new. And a more compact syntax. 1. https://secure2.storegate.com/Shares/Home.aspx?ShareID=db8465b3-112f-4194-8… Compile 'lualatex test0.tex’.

Smallmatrix not implemented
by Hans Aberg 07 Jul '15

07 Jul '15

Smallmatrix from AMS-TeX is not implemented in ConTeXt (Tex Live 2015), though crossed out in m-newmat.tex. I found this old post: http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2005/013146.html

\appendtoks for options
by Pablo Rodriguez 06 Jul '15

06 Jul '15

Dear list, I have the following sample: \appendtoks \let\sethyphenationfeatures[underscore]\space \to \simplifiedcommands \setupinteraction[state=start] \placebookmarks[chapter] \starttext \chapter{\sethyphenationfeatures[underscore] code} \stoptext Is there a way that I can add the whole "\sethyphenationfeatures[underscore]" to \simplifiedcommands? All I want is to have the whole command removed from the PDF bookmarks. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

font features in XeTeX
by Robert Zydenbos 06 Jul '15

06 Jul '15

Dear ConTeXt folk, Is there any simple way to pass font features as a parameter to XeConTeXt? i am thinking of things like what in LaTeX would be (between square brackets) "\setromanfont [AutoFakeSlant=0.5, AutoFakeBold=0.5] {Doulos SIL Phon}". There has to be some way to do this, but I seem unable to find it in the documentatioin I have. RZ

Integral spacing
by Hans Aberg 06 Jul '15

06 Jul '15

I get too much spacing after the integrals when using ‘context’ (TeX Live 2015) - see first example below. Cf. the second example below, compiled with luatex. In ConTeXt, the result is the same regardless of body font, and also if using original TeX \int. --- context --- \setupbodyfont[xits,10pt] %\setupbodyfont[stix,10pt] \starttext \startformula ⟨φ|ψ⟩ ≔ ∫… ∫ dx_1 … dx_n\, φ(x_1, …, x_n)^* ψ(x_1, …, x_n) \stopformula \startformula ⟨φ|ψ⟩ ≔ \int … \int dx_1 … dx_n\, φ(x_1, …, x_n)^* ψ(x_1, …, x_n) \stopformula \stoptext --- --- luatex --- $$ \left<\phi|\psi\right> = \int \ldots \int dx_1 \ldots dx_n\, \phi(x_1, \ldots, x_n)^* \psi(x_1, \ldots, x_n) $$ \end ---

Unfortunately, as far as I know, some screen readers (for the visually impaired) use these as navigation aids, i.e. press button "jump to next section", and the reader will look for the next section marked as <Sect> or something. Is it difficult to make the mapping user-defineable in the source tex-file? Say, like such a command: \definemapping[ section=Sect, sectiontitle=H sectionnumber=H, ... tablerow=TR ... ] It would then give users the control on what to map onto what, depending on what kind of documents they create. >> All in all, these seem to be the only issues that prevent accessible PDF >> documents with context.

I can fully understand that such things are not of the highest priority. Nevertheless accessibility plays more and more a role, e.g. lately, even conferences like http://chi2015.acm.org/authors/guide-to-an-accessible-submission/ require accessible pdfs (the workflow they suggest, i.e. tagging a pdf by acrobat pro after compiling of course doesn't work at all - the generated structure is useless). Hence, for some users, it makes all the difference. For example for me and some other friends, it would allow to change from using Microsoft Word to a ConTeXt based workflow. cheers - Dominik

New btx code problem with quote protrusion
by Rik Kabel 06 Jul '15

06 Jul '15

List folk: In the MWE below, everything builds cleanly if the \setupdelimitedtext line is removed. With it removed, however, quote marks protrusion looks poor when nearby quote marks in non-quotation text is allowed to protrude. The happens when there is a citation in a footnote in the quoted text. Is this a bug, or simply something not yet ready with the new regime, or am I doing something wrong? % The next line should allow \startquotation to protrude quotes \setupdelimitedtext[quotation][method=font] % However, it causes the new bib code to fail when there is a % footnote containing a citation in the quote. See % http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg35580.html \definefontfeature [default][protrusion=quality] \setupalign [hz,hanging] \usebtxdataset [xx.bib] \starttext \startparagraph\noindent There is a citation in the footnote to this standard paragraph\footnote{This footnote has a citation \cite[One].} \stopparagraph \startquotation[right] There is a citation in the footnote to this block quotation\footnote{This footnote has a citation \cite[Two].} \stopquotation \startparagraph\noindent “There is a citation in the footnote to this standard paragraph\footnote{This footnote has a citation \cite[One].}” \stopparagraph \placelistofpublications \stoptext And the corresponding xx.bib file: @BOOK{One, author = {A. N. Author}, title = {A Book Title}, year = {2017}, publisher = {Self}, address = {sine loco}, } @ARTICLE{Two, author = {N. O. Author}, title = {A Pipe}, journal = {The Journal}, year = {2018}, volume = {32}, number = {3}, pages = {42--69}, } -- Rik Kabel

bug with bookmarks?
by Pablo Rodriguez 05 Jul '15

05 Jul '15

Dear list, I have the following sample: \setupinteraction[state=start] \placebookmarks [part,chapter,section,subsection,subsubsection] [part,chapter] \starttext \placelist[part,chapter] \startfrontmatter \chapter{Introduction} \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \dorecurse{2}{\part{Part} \dorecurse{3}{\chapter{Chapter} \dorecurse{5}{\section{Section}}}} \stopbodymatter \stoptext For some strange reason, with front and body matters the bookmarks for parts don’t contain bookmarks for chapters (although chapter bookmarks do contain section bookmarks). Removing \placelist[part,chapter] shows the same issue (part bookmarks not containing chapter bookmarks). And replacing \placelist[part,chapter] with \completecontent places bookmarks from front matter after the ones from the body matter. (Besides the fact that I don’t want to have sections in the TOC.) I suspect this may be a bug. Could you confirm it or explain me what I’m missing? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

conTeXt Mkiv: the number of parameters can not be more than 9?
by 土卜皿 05 Jul '15

05 Jul '15

hi, all For testing, I have a definition: \define[9]\DEFINETEST{#1,#2,#3,#4,#5,#6,#7,#8,#9} context test can work fine, when I modify the above into: \define[10]\DEFINETEST{#1,#2,#3,#4,#5,#6,#7,#8,#9,#10} I got a error: test.tex: ! Illegal parameter number in definition of \DEFINETEST >From StackExchange, I got a answer: Since ConTeXt is based on TeX, the maximum number of 9 parameters is inherited So, in Context mkiv, what should I do for more than 9 parameters? Thanks! Best Regards Dillon
