automatic generation of em dash at the beginning of a line
by Piotr Kopszak 02 Mar '15

02 Mar '15

Hello list, This is probably a Polish idiosyncrasy, but we have to live with it. According to punctuation rules when an em dash is at the end of a line, it should be repeated at the beginning of the next one (true, it is often disregarded due to lack of support for it in typesetting programs). Is there any way to deal with it in ConTeX? Best Piotr -- http://okle.pl

\setupnotedefinition in mkiv?
by Gerben Wierda 01 Mar '15

01 Mar '15

What do I replace these mkii command with in mkiv? The first seems to be ignored (all numbering is capital roman) and the others lead to an error message in mkiv \setupfootnotes[conversion=set 2,way=bypage,align=flushleft] \setupnotedefinition[footnote][indenting={yes,medium}] \setupnotedefinition[endnote][indenting={yes,medium},style={\switchtobodyfont[10pt]}]

Incompatibility catcodes of characters in ConTeXt and PlainTeX
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 01 Mar '15

01 Mar '15

Hello ConTeXist. Petr Olsak (maintainer of Czech/Slovak support for TeX) helped me with simple typing of sign charts. He made a PlainTeX macro who is working too in ConTeXt (see http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/230273/typing-of-math-sign-charts) Petr Olsak (not ConTeXt even LaTeX user) was modified PlainTeX macro to work in ConTeXt and asked the question: "Does anybody know why ConTeXt sets catcode of & to 12? This means that it is incompatible with plain TeX". May I therefore ask , what is the reason that has character & catcode other than in Knuth PlainTeX? There are catcodes of other characters incompatible? Thanx Jaroslav Hajtmar

I’m trying to get my project from mkii to mkiv. I’m running into a font issue. I’m using the Optima font from OS X on the Mac. My current setup is as added below.

I am not very keen on maintaining my own version of ConTeXt so I would like to know if I can count on this feature being added. Thanks for your effort and kind regards, Christoph

total pages in external PDF
by Pablo Rodriguez 26 Feb '15

26 Feb '15

Dear list, I need to get the number of pages from an external PDF file that I also define with an \env. I think I could get something like this.: \def\Myfilename{\env{filename}} doc = epdf.open(arg[\MyFilename]) total_pages_ = doc:getNumPages() \def\Mypages{total_pages} But mixing both lua and ConTeXt commands the wrong way won’t work. Sorry, but this is all Greek to me. Although I see how it could be done, I cannot write the code for this. Which is the right way to get the code above working? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
