ConTeXt editing with Kate editor + Digestif lsp-server
by garulfo＠azules.eu 02 Mar '25

02 Mar '25

just discovering that it is possible to benefit from the lsp-server Digestif within Kate (a KDE text editor) to edit ConTeXt input files. - https://github.com/astoff/digestif - wiki page: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Input_and_compilation/Text_editors/Kate Digestif provides hyperlinks to ConTeXt's commands wiki pages: great for new users.

\currentlistentrynumber and \currentlistlocation
by Pablo Rodriguez 02 Mar '25

02 Mar '25

Dear list, I’m struggling with an alternative list setup: \showframe \setupinteraction [state=start, style=, focus=standard] \enabledirectives[references.border=red] \definelistalternative [pmcols] [renderingsetup=pmcol] \startsetups [pmcol] \ifnum\modulonumber{3}{\currentlistentrylocation} = 1 \dontleavehmode% \rlap{\[\currentlistentrynumber\]\nbsp\nbsp\nbsp% \currentlistentrypagenumber\narrownobreakspace·% \narrownobreakspace\the\numexpr1+\currentlistentrypagenumber\relax} \orelse\ifnum\modulonumber{3}{\currentlistentrylocation} = 2 \hfill\[\currentlistentrynumber\]\nbsp\nbsp\nbsp% \currentlistentrypagenumber\narrownobreakspace·% \narrownobreakspace\the\numexpr1+\currentlistentrypagenumber\relax \else \hfill\llap{\[\currentlistentrynumber\]\nbsp\nbsp\nbsp% \currentlistentrypagenumber\narrownobreakspace·\narrownobreakspace% \the\numexpr1+\currentlistentrypagenumber\relax}\crlf \fi \stopsetups \definestructureconversionset[rom][n,R] \setuphead[title] [page=yes] \setuphead[chapter] [page=even, sectionconversionset=rom] \starttext \placelist [chapter] [alternative=pmcols, criterium=all, interaction=all] \dorecurse{100} {\startchapter \samplefile{zapf} \stopchapter} \stoptext The sample above works only here, not in my real world document. The main reason is that \currentlistentrylocation doesn’t give the same number as \currentlistentrynumber. Is there any way (considering the sample above, where chapter has to be in Roman capital numbers) to get the pure number value of \currentlistentrynumber? BTW, I wonder also how could I get a link to the corresponding chapter (as standard lists always have with interaction enabled). Many thanks for your help, Pablo

Quads not appearing

Hi, I have an xml setup like the one below. In my real document the qquads in xml:index-entry don't appear, but I haven't been able to reproduce the problem in the MWE. What could be the cause of such an issue? I don't know if this is helpful, but I had to change the line \xmlfilter{#1}{/term/command(xml:term)}\qquad\xmlfilter{#1}{/loc/command(xml :loc)} to \xmlfilter{#1}{/term/command(xml:term)} -\qquad- \xmlfilter{#1}{/loc/command(xml:loc)} to make the qquad appear.

margn text on makeup page -- how?
by Rik Kabel 28 Feb '25

28 Feb '25

Is there a way to get margin text in a makeup page? The following example, modified by the addition of \inmargin... from the wiki at https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Document_layout_and_layers/Makeup, results in no margin text in the makeup with either luatex or lmtx. \definepapersize[sheet][width=208mm,height=222mm] \setuppapersize[A8][sheet] \setuppaper[nx=4,ny=3] \setuparranging[XY] \setupbodyfont[9pt] \setupalign[tolerant] \showframe \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided, page=,] \setupmakeup[pagestate=start] \definemakeup[custom][align=middle] \starttext \startmakeup[custom] This is a \par \mono{custom}\par title page \stopmakeup \startmakeup[text] This is a \par \mono{text}\par title page \stopmakeup \startmakeup[middle] This is a \par \mono{middle}\par title page\inmargin{\color[red]{Ha!}} \stopmakeup \startmakeup[standard] This is a \par \mono{standard}\par title page \stopmakeup \startmakeup[page] This is a \par \mono{page}\par title page \stopmakeup \inmargin{\color[red]{Ha!}} \input zapf \stoptext -- Rik

Question about matrices with vertical and horizontal lines
by Matthias Weber 27 Feb '25

27 Feb '25

Hi, I’d like to typeset a matrix with vertical and horizontal lines like so: starttext \startformula \startmatrix \HL \VL 16 \VL 3 \VL 2 \VL 12 \VL\NR \HL \VL 5 \VL 10 \VL 11 \VL 8 \VL\NR \HL \VL 9 \VL 6 \VL 7 \VL 12 \VL\NR \HL \VL 4 \VL 15 \VL 14 \VL 1 \VL\NR \HL \stopmatrix \stopformula \starttable[|c|c|c|c|] \HL \VL $16$ \VL $3$ \VL $2$ \VL $12$ \VL \FR \HL \VL $5$ \VL $10$ \VL $11$ \VL $8$\VL \SR \HL \VL $9$ \VL $6$ \VL $7$\VL $12$ \VL\SR \HL \VL $4$ \VL $15$ \VL $14$ \VL $1$ \VL\SR \HL \stoptable \stoptext In the matrix version, the horizontal lines extend too far to the left. Ideally, I would like the cells to be squares, with the entries centered. Thanks for any suggestions! Matthias

\setuplist[chapter][alternative=d] inside margins

27 Feb '25

Dear list, I have the following sample: \starttext \showframe %\setuppapersize[A5] \setupinteraction [state=start, color=,] \enabledirectives[references.border=darkgreen] \definestructureconversionset[rom][n,R] \protected\def\doPageNumber#1% {#1\narrownobreakspace·\narrownobreakspace% \the\numexpr 1 + #1\relax} \setuphead[title] [page=yes] \setuphead[chapter] [page=even, sectionconversionset=rom] \setuplist[chapter] [alternative={d}, pagecommand=\doPageNumber, left={\letterleftbracket}, right={\letterrightbracket}, distance=.125tw, ] \completecontent \dorecurse{100} {\startchapter \samplefile{zapf} \stopchapter} \stoptext Having this sample (which in my real-world document is contained inside an A5 page), which is the way to have all contents fully justified and single entries not broken between lines? BTW, in both this sample and the final document, chapters contain only their Roman number and no title. Many thanks for your help, Pablo
