Seeking Advice on Electron Configuration Notation in ConTeXt
by Jorge Manuel 31 Oct '24

31 Oct '24

Hello everyone, I’m searching for an efficient way to represent electronic configurations in subshell and orbital notation within ConTeXt. I found similar examples discussed on StackExchange, which you can see here: Atomic electronic configuration with small boxes: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/372581/atomic-electronic-configurat… Box and arrow notation of writing electron configuration https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/616989/box-and-arrow-notation-of-wr… Ideally, I’d like to use a package similar to atoms.sty for this purpose. Does anyone know of a straightforward approach to achieve this in ConTeXt? Thank you very much for any guidance or examples! Best regards, Jorge

using command line arguments
by Henning Hraban Ramm 28 Oct '24

Hi, I’m trying to use a command line argument in parameter names – color name in the example below, variable namespace in my actual project. I guess I need more expansion, but where? Or what’s the problem here? """ \setupbodyfont[plex,18pt] % set \OEM to the parameter name, fall back to "fiee" \expanded\define\OEM{\expanded\doifelsedocumentargument{OEM}{\expanded\getdocumentargument{OEM}}{fiee}} \definecolor[col:fiee][c=1] \definecolor[col:pragma][m=1,y=1] \definecolor[col:black][k=1] \starttext \color[col:\OEM]{Company: \OEM} \stoptext """ Hraban

Spacing issue in \digits with mode=3
by Kirill Davidov 26 Oct '24

26 Oct '24

Greetings, I have been making a table with \digits aligned cells and noticed that in mode 3 (thin mu skips as group separator, comma as decimal separator) a specification like {_X.=} causes the single digit number to be misaligned, it's like there's about 2mu worth of space just before the number. I don't have much of an idea as to what causes it. It doesn't seem to be an issue in mode 1, although it may be simply not as noticeable. This also affects \unit. MWE: \setdigitmode{3} \startdocument \showglyphs \enabletrackers[visualizers.glue] \startxtable[align=center] \startxtablehead \startxrow \startxcell Data \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtablehead \startxtablebody \startxrow \startxcell \digits{10.001==} \stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell \digits{_1.=====} % weird spacing issue here \stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell \digits{20.34909} \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtablebody \stopxtable \halign{% \hss\alignmark\hss\cr \digits{10.001==}\cr \digits{_1.=====}\cr % weird spacing issue here \digits{20.34909}\cr } \stopdocument Kirill

Why didn't I get the correct ordinal number, after defining an environment via command "installcounterassociation".
by ai2472206007＠yeah.net 23 Oct '24

23 Oct '24

hi, everyone I defined a command to unite counters by the method of defining counters that I saw on other posts. When I wanted to modify the start parameter of the counter, I found that it did not inherit the settings of the current environment, but inherited the settings of the previous environment. For example, in the first chapter, I set the counter for the environment to start counting from 5, but it inherited the original count of 9, and in the second chapter, it inherited the setting from the first chapter, and its counter became 5. The same happens in Chapter 3. Pls can someone fix this? Since the command to unite with the counter is what I found through previous posts and source files, I don't know exactly how it is used. If my question or the mistake I made was too stupid, be sure to let me know. Many thanks.

italian words with apostrophe - hyphenation and discretionary
by mf 23 Oct '24

23 Oct '24

Hello list, I'd like to know how to specify the following rules of the Italian language. Feminine words starting with a vowel change the preceding indefinite article ending with a vowel: the article loses the ending vowel, that is replaced by an apostrophe. Example: una opera => un'opera ("a work", but also "an opera") una opera => un’opera (with the unicode curly single quote) In case of definite articles, that is true also for masculine words starting with a vowel. la opera => l'opera ("the work", also "the opera", feminine) lo operaio => l'operaio ("the worker", masculine) This extends to articulate prepositions (preposition+article), like nella opera => nell'opera ("in the work", "in the opera") dello operaio => dell'operaio ("of the worker") HYPHENATION In Italian you can't hyphenate after an apostrophe: un'opera => un'o-pe-ra nell'opera => nel-l'o-pe-ra so these are the allowed hyphenations: un'o- pera typographically rather ugly un'ope- ra better nel- l'opera typographically the best (preposition-article split) nell'o- ugly pera nell'ope- ra but, though it's not used much anymore, you can go back to the version without apostrophe, as long as the uncut article or preposition is the last word in a line: una opera nella opera These are seldom used, but they would be a good solution, especially when the line break occurs across pages. Sometimes it's also the finest typographical solution when you have narrow columns. The reason it is seldom used is because there's no automatic solution in typesetting software. You can do it manually, but when a change in the text modifies the line breaking, the article/preposition could move away from the end of the line, and you'd get "una opera" or "nella opera" in the middle of a line, which is grammatically correct but definitely not something you would expect in a printed text, considered almost an error. THE QUESTION Is there a way to encode such rules with \hyphenation and \discretionary? I tried \hyphenation{nel{-l'o}{la}{o}-pe-ra} but it does not seem to work. Massi
