upload
by Hans Hagen 01 Apr '24

Hi, There is a new lmtx upload. -- The svg inclusion via metapost has been upgraded and cleanup a bit, using some more recent metapost features. There are some new (not yet all documented metapost) features. -- In the process, support for LCH colors has been added, which is documented in the (eg luametafun manual). -- The math manual is not yet there because we were distracted by improving support for envelopes (penbased outlines) in metafun. This is still work in progress, some is present and discussed in the manual, and we'll come back to that sometime next month. Given the next item, we also might need to change some in the manual (different focus). -- Because we have users who have to conform to the European Accessibility Act we have been wondering how to deal with that and at Mikaels place there are two demands: distinctive colors and tagging and especially math (somehow validators love to check that). Colors never were an issue as they can be controlled, and tagging math neither, especially because nothing was/is done with it anyway, but ... we are happy that we found a reasonable (more modern and future proof) way out. As explained / shown in the attached document we're basically forced to choose a different approach with math (a pity as we worked hard to get the rendering right but the attached file works fine in the viewers that we tested). -- We like to hear from users what other demands wrt accessibility there are. We're not interested in the (commercial) big money aspects (of pdf and tagging) nor in the politics behind it (changes over time). What are the demands, so that we can see how to make it work or just work around it (as it's kind of boring to cook uyp complex features , esp compared to playing with metapost). -- Furthermore .. the usual bits and pieces as discussed on the list and otherwise. -- If you have troubles (crash) you need to wipe the cache due to a change in lua bytecode storage (no easy way to catch it).

How to get an image to fill the maximum available space?
by Joel 30 Mar '24

30 Mar '24

I have code like this: \placefigure[here, force]{my caption}{% \externalfigure[#1][frame=on, maxheight=1.2\textwidth, maxwidth=\textwidth]% }% I need some images to appear in a book. I need them to keep their proper ratios, but scale up to the maximize the available space. The image can't be more than \textwidth wide, and can't ever be more than 1.2\textwidth high. The problem I am getting with this code, and it does seem to be limiting the images to be not bigger than those two dimensions above, is some of the images, for reasons I can't understand, are appearing really tiny and aren't scaling up to fill as much space as is possible. I can't explain why this is happening--the images themselves are very very high resolution. Is there any way to modify the code to make sure the image stretches up to be the biggest it can, without exceeding the sizes I've listed? --Joel

Underbar
by Willi Egger 28 Mar '24

28 Mar '24

Hello everybody, I have a text, where a couple of lines are typeset with \underbar. — To me this underbar is a fraction to near the text. So I wanted to use \setupbar[…] to change the offset. Unfortunately nothing happens whatever I try. MWE: \setupbar[offset=-.5,dy=-.5] \starttext Hello! \blank \underbar{Good buye!} \stoptext I am using the latest version of ConTeXt from March 11. Do I miss something? Kind regards Willi

Visually balanced columns
by Alexey Kryukov 27 Mar '24

27 Mar '24

Hi list, I'd like to know if its is possible to get visually balanced mixedcolumns in lmtx. For example, if I have \blank's between paragraphs, I would like them to be stretched or expanded by a such way that the bottommost lines have the same vertical position -- no matter, how many lines there are in each column and how exactly they are aligned. If I understand correctly, that's how the multicols environment in LaTeX works, and that's how old-multicolumns worked -- but this module seems to be no longer supported in lmtx. I tried to disable gridfitting for startcolumns, but it produces a completely distorted output. -- Regards, Alexey Kryukov <anagnost at yandex dot ru> Moscow State University Faculty of History

Headertext
by Thomas Meyer 27 Mar '24

27 Mar '24

Hi folks, I know, with \setuphead[chapter][header=high] I can suppress the header text on the first page. But what can I do if I still want to have part of the header text on the first page? Is there something I can do with \definetext and if so, how? Thanks for any help Greetings Thomas

start/end pages in ToC
by Alan Bowen 26 Mar '24

26 Mar '24

Our journal is currently in the process of moving to continuous publication of items in a given volume as they are ready. This entails re-jigging the ToC so that it now includes the start and end page numbers of each item. So far, I have everything pretty much in the right place, but for the page numbers I am getting only “??”. I am not sure why this is happening and would be grateful if someone could tell me why or point me to documentation that explains the problem and how to solve it. Many thanks in advance. My minimalish working example: \definehead[SourceTitle][chapter] \setuphead[SourceTitle][page=yes, footer={ItemData}] \definehead[StudyTitle][chapter] \setuphead[StudyTitle][page=yes, footer={ItemData}] \definetext[ItemData][footer][ {\at[\Reference]– \at[\namedstructureuservariable{}{authorInitials}endPage]} ] \setuplist[SourceTitle][ state=start, textcolor=black, alternative=startendpages, criterium=all, headnumber=no, interaction=page, numberalign=flushright, before={\blank[2.2ex, fixed]}, inbetween=\endgraf, ] \setuplist[StudyTitle][ state=start, textcolor=black, alternative=startendpages, criterium=all, headnumber=no, interaction=all, numberalign=flushright, before={\blank[2.2ex, fixed]}, inbetween=\endgraf, ] \define\ToCEntry{% \structurelistuservariable{author}\crlf \structurelistuservariable{title}\hfill% \at[\structurelistuservariable{reference}]–% \at[\structurelistuservariable{authorInitials}endPage] } \definelistalternative[startendpages] [renderingsetup=list:startendpages] \startsetups[list:startendpages] {\ToCEntry} \vglue1pc \stopsetups \starttext {\tfa\bf Contents} \blank[line, fixed] \WORD{Sources} \blank[halfline, fixed] \placelist[SourceTitle][criterium=all] \blank[line, fixed] \WORD{Studies} \blank[halfline, fixed] \placelist[StudyTitle][criterium=all] \page[makeup] \setnumber[userpage][1] \def\Reference{RefSo01} \startSourceTitle[reference={\Reference}, bookmark=Source01, title={}][ title=Source01, author=Author01, authorInitials=ABC, reference={\Reference}, ] \input knuth \page \dorecurse{25}{\input ward\par} \reference[ABCendPage]{} \stopSourceTitle \page[makeup] \setnumber[userpage][1] \def\Reference{RefSo02} \startSourceTitle[reference={\Reference}, bookmark=Source02, title={}][ author=Author02, title=Source02, authorInitials=PQR, reference={\Reference}, ] \input knuth \page \dorecurse{10}{\input ward\par} \reference[PQRendPage]{} \stopSourceTitle \page[makeup] \setnumber[userpage][1] \def\Reference{RefSt01} \startStudyTitle[reference={\Reference}, bookmark=Study01, title={}][ author=Author03, title=Study01, authorInitials=XYZ, reference={\Reference}, ] \input knuth \blank[big] \page \dorecurse{15}{\input ward\par} \reference[XYZendPage]{} \stopStudyTitle \page[makeup] \stoptext Alan
