Inline framed verbatim text
by Jeroen 19 May '23

19 May '23

In order to get some inline framed verbatim text, I have in the past always used the following: \starttext This is an \inframed [frame=on, corner=00, radius=2mm,offset=-1.5pt] {\ttx \bf example} \stoptext Since this has come-up more and more often, I created the following: \define[1]\infr{ \inframed [frame=on, corner=00, radius=2mm,offset=-1.5pt]{#1}} \starttext This is an \infr{example} \stoptext This works fine except that I cannot get the text in verbatim/teletype. I have tried style=mono and style={\ttx \bf} but nothing seems to work. Thanks Jeroen

Probably simple: using a variable for \switchtobodyfont size
by Gerben Wierda 19 May '23

19 May '23

I want to use a variable for a font size so I can set it based on language (as some translated texts have widely different sizes) This fails: %=========================== \newdimen\relationsFontSize \relationsFontSize=8pt \starttext \switchtobodyfont[\relationsFontSize] Hello, world! \stoptext %=========================== How can I use a variable to steer \switchtobodyfont size?

Replacer based on function rathen than tables
by Jairo A. del Rio 18 May '23

18 May '23

Hi, list. There's lang-rep.mkxl and lang-tra.mkxl in the distribution which allows replacing a list of words and applying transliteration, respectively. Both are based on tables. I want to know if there's a way to use a function instead, say local function nice(str) return str .. " is nice" end Thanks in advance. Best regards, Jairo

\placeinitial inside \framed?
by Gerben Wierda 16 May '23

16 May '23

I'd like to use a drop cap inside a \framed, but it doesn't work. Minimal example: %========================== \starttext \setupinitial[n=2,text=Knuth]\placeinitial\input knuth \framed[align=flushleft]{\setupinitial[n=2,text=Knuth]\placeinitial\input knuth } \stoptext %========================== The first drop cap works, the second is empty.

Module authors: please update your metadata
by Henning Hraban Ramm 16 May '23

16 May '23

Hi, I just updated the module writing guidelines, since I couldn’t find a description of the necessary structure of a module release file: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Modules#Module_writing_guidelines I also added an explanation how the publishing via https://modules.contextgarden.net works. If you ever published a module, please check if its metadata is still correct, e.g. if the module works for MkIV / LMTX and how it should be published – some modules aren’t installable via rsync as outlined in https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Modules#ConTeXt_LMTX (For me, the “simplified version” works.) These modules get installed that way: f-urwgaramond f-urwgothic t-account t-algorithmic t-animation t-annotation t-bnf t-chromato t-cmscbf t-cmttbf t-construction-plan t-cyrillicnumbers t-degrade t-fancybreak t-filter t-fixme t-french t-fullpage t-games (not in dl) t-gantt t-gnuplot t-handlecsv (newer than in dl) t-layout t-letter t-lettrine t-lilypond (not in dl, obsolete) t-mathsets t-rst t-ruby t-simplefonts t-simpleslides t-tikz t-title t-transliterator t-typearea t-typescripts t-vim t-visualcounter Some of these are probably outdated, I didn’t check. If you know something is obsolete, please let us know or remove it yourself, if you still know your account data. Several more modules are available via https://modules.contextgarden.net/dl/ (mentioned as "dl" above). I added a comment where the directory structure isn’t quite right: PocketDiary-V2.zip (module folder on top) Collection-of-calendars-based-on-PocketDiary-module.zip (module folder on top) Date-driven-lists.zip (module folder on top) Environment-for-collating-marks.zip (module folder on top) aquamints (no structure) bibmod-doc (looks right) gfsdidot (looks right) grph-downsample.lua (looks right, except .lua in folder name) enigma.zip (looks right, except .zip in folder name) handlecsv (not unzipped, no VERSION file, but newer version in dl) high (looks right) karnaugh (looks right) lua-widow-control (looks right) lucida-cint.zip (looks right, except .zip in folder name) metaducks (metaducks folder on top) presvoz (looks right) pret-c.lua (looks right, except .lua in folder name) stormfontsupport (looks right) sudoku (sudoku folder on top) t-gm (looks right) t-greek (looks right) t-gs (looks right) t-inifile (looks right) t-layout (looks right) t-letterspace.mkiv (looks right, except .mkiv in folder name) t-rsteps (looks right) t-simplebib (looks right) t-taspresent (looks right) u-texshow (looks right) (“looks right” only means that the structure looks like TDS, many are old and probably obsolete, but a few are quite new, like the first four by Willi) All the best & happy TeXing, Hraban

Is there a way to centrally add a list of indexed items to a sub category?
by Joel 15 May '23

15 May '23

I have a document like this: \starttext \index{dogs} \index{cats} \index{flowers} \index{snails} \index{trees} \placeindex \stoptext As I understand, if you use \index{animals+dogs}, it will place dogs as a sub-category of dogs. Is there any way to control this centrally, for instance: \addtosub[animals]{dogs, cats, snails} \addtosub[plants]{flowers, trees} Such a way would make it so \index{dogs} places an entry for "dog" under "d" and "animals --> dogs" under "a". --Joel

Bug in context
by Lutz Haseloff 14 May '23

14 May '23

Hi Hans, hi all, I mainly use ConTeXt in a server environment. So I am a friend of the console. I found a small problem there. When I invoke context with parameter --ansi, the logfile remains empty. I tried Linux aarch64 and Windows64. Greetings Lutz
