PDF/UA Support
by Andrew Dunning 20 Oct '15

20 Oct '15

Dear list, I am beginning to see increasing need for PDF/UA (ISO 14289) files. Earlier this year, the US Access Board announced an update to the rules for the accessibility of electronic documents produced by the government that embraces the standard, which I expect will make it much more prominent. XeTeX cannot produce PDF/UA, and it seems unlikely that it ever will, but unless I am misreading the documentation it appears that ConTeXt has already implemented the necessary functionality. If this is so, it would be helpful to have a page discussing its use in parallel to <http://wiki.contextgarden.net/PDF/A>, and I would even suggest making PDF/UA the default for documents that do not have conflicting commands. The PDF Association seems to be pushing this as the future of the format; if this is so, this is an opportunity to bring ConTeXt to much greater prominence. All best, Andrew Dunning PhD Candidate Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto http://andrewdunning.ca

Here's the (complete) code: \startbuffer[test] <text> Dear list, this paragraph should not be indented, because it follows the “incipit” of the letter. This one and the following ones should be indented. You may question whether “Dear list,” should be a paragraph of his own, but my text is already formatted like that and I can’t do anything about it. </text> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups xml:somesetups \xmlsetsetup{#1}{text}{xml:text} \xmlsetsetup{#1}{p}{xml:p} \xmlsetsetup{#1}{p[@class='incipit']}{xml:p:noindent} % the following lpath expression does not work % \xmlsetsetup{#1}{p[reverse-sibling::p[1]/attribute('class') == 'incipit']}{xml:p:noindent} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:somesetups} \startxmlsetups xml:text \indenting[{yes,first,12pt}] \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:p \doif{\xmlattribute{#1}{reverse-sibling::p[1]}{class}}{incipit}{\noindent} \xmlflush{#1}\par \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:p:noindent \noindent\xmlflush{#1}\par \stopxmlsetups \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{test}{} \stoptext It's the example of the original message of this thread, with the modifications posted in the second message. In the \startxmlsetups section I tried to put that condition in a \xmlsetsetup, but I commented it out because it did not work. Here's where I found an example with reverse-sibling: https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context%40ntg.nl/msg77364.html I was searching for "sibling" in the mailing list archive to see whether "sibling expressions" had been implemented.

Fwd: JabRef Survey
by Henning Hraban Ramm 20 Oct '15

20 Oct '15

Are there users of ConTeXt plus JabRef? --- Hello, JabRef is an open-source software for bibliographic management. To foster its developments, the JabRef core team is conducting a survey: <https://enquetes.inra.fr/index.php?sid=29749> We are interested in getting your opinion (whether you are currently a user or you decided to move to another software). The survey is open up to November 14, and consists of 3 sets of questions: - What do you think about the current features? - Which new features should be included? - Who are JabRef users? It will take between 15 and 30 minutes to complete. See: <https://enquetes.inra.fr/index.php?sid=29749> The survey is anonymous, and the server is hosted by a research institute (Inra, France). If you have any question regarding this survey, please feel free to contact me: <Frederic.Darboux(a)orleans.inra.fr> Thank you for your time!

You can check this with the freely available "PDF Accessibility Checker". (Just google for it.) Nevertheless, ConTeXt is the only TeX-based option that supports PDF tagging and it does a good job - thank you Hans for your efforts. Regards, Christoph Reller

setting lineheight in embedded xtables
by Thomas A. Schmitz 19 Oct '15

19 Oct '15

Hi, I have a small problem with adjusting the height of embedded xtables. Here's my example (the colors are there just to see that all the setups are read and applied): \startbuffer[test] <text> <bilingual> <bilingualrow> <bilingualcell> First line of text </bilingualcell> <bilingualcell ny="2"> This is the translation. It is slightly longer than the width of the paragraph. </bilingualcell> </bilingualrow> <bilingualrow> <bilingualcell> Second line of text </bilingualcell> </bilingualrow> </bilingual> <bilingual> <bilingualrow> <bilingualcell> third line of text </bilingualcell> <bilingualcell ny="3"> An even longer translation which should span three rows of the table. </bilingualcell> </bilingualrow> <bilingualrow> <bilingualcell> fourth line of text </bilingualcell> </bilingualrow> <bilingualrow> <bilingualcell> fifth line of text. </bilingualcell> </bilingualrow> </bilingual> </text> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups xml:somesetups \xmlsetsetup{#1}{text|bilingual|bilingualrow|bilingualcell}{xml:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:somesetups} \startxmlsetups xml:text \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:bilingual \startembeddedxtable [Bilingual] \xmlflush{#1} \stopembeddedxtable \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:bilingualrow \startxrow [height=\the\baselineskip,background=color,backgroundcolor=gray] \xmlflush{#1} \stopxrow \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:bilingualcell \startxcell [width=0.4\textwidth,align=normal,ny=\xmlattdef{#1}{ny}{1}] \xmlflush{#1} \stopxcell \stopxmlsetups \setupxtable [Bilingual] [option=stretch, frame=on, align=normal, columndistance=1em, foregroundcolor=darkred] \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{test}{} \stoptext Problem: while the fist table <bilingual></bilingual> follows the height assignment for table rows, in the second table, the lines are much higher. When I try to reproduces in a TeX file and apply the height=\the\baselineskip to every row individually, it works. What's going wrong here? All best Thomas

footnotes spanning margin and textwidth
by Brian R. Landy 17 Oct '15

17 Oct '15

Hi, is it possible to get the footnote area to span the full width of textwidth+margins? For example, in this layout I have a wide left margin and I’d like the footnotes to start at the left edge of the left margin rather than the left edge of the text area, but still extend to the right edge of the text area. \setuplayout[backspace=2.75in,cutspace=0.50in,leftmargin=2.25in,rightmargin=0.00in,width=middle,topspace=0.0in,header=0.88in,height=middle,footer=1.50in,location=middle] \starttext text\footnote{one} text\footnote{\input knuth} \stoptext Best regards, Brian

\startplacefloat [location=bottom]
by Alan BRASLAU 16 Oct '15

16 Oct '15

Hello, When placing floats, location=bottom will attempt to place the float at the bottom of the current page; if it will not fit, then it will be placed at the *top* of the following page. How can one specify that the float is be placed at the *bottom* of the subsequent page if there is not enough room for it to be placed at the bottom of the current page? MWE: \starttext \dorecurse{4}{\input knuth\par} \startplacetable [location=bottom] \input tufte \stopplacetable \dorecurse{2}{\input dawkins\par} \stoptext Alan
