Table of contents in the middle of a document
by Kalouguine Andre 17 Apr '23

17 Apr '23

Hi, I was trying to have my "Acknowledgements" section/chapter before the table of contents but be contained within it. Is it normal that the table of contents is empty if there is a chapter that begins before it? ``` \starttext \chapter{Acknowledgements} Thank you \completecontent \chapter{Intro} \chapter{Problem} \chapter{Solution} \stoptext ``` I'm mostly looking for an explanation rather than a direct solution, I'd like to understand why it's empty. It works when using sections instead of chapters. Best regards, -- Kalouguine Andre

new uplaod
by Hans Hagen 17 Apr '23

17 Apr '23

Hi, I uploaded a new lmtx. Again some updated math of which details will be revealed later. Apart from some details we added suport for fourier notations. There are no high level definitions yet as we have to invent names but this is how it works (private unicode slots might change): \setupbodyfont[pagella] \starttext \setupmathdelimited [topoffset=.2\exheight] \definemathdelimited [fourier] [rule=no, left=\zerocount, right="FE944] \definemathdelimited [courier] [rule=no, left=\zerocount, right="FE946] \definemathdelimited [xourier] [rule=no, left=\zerocount, right="FE948] $ \fourier{(z+1)} $ $ \fourier{(z+1)} + \sqrt[2]{1}$ $ \fourier{(z+1)} + \courier{(z+1)} + \xourier{(z+1)} $ $ \fourier{\left(z+\frac12\right)} + \courier{\left(z+\frac12\right)} + \xourier{\left(z+\frac12\right)} $ $ \autofences \fourier{(z+\frac12)} + \courier{(z+\frac12)} + \xourier{(z+\frac12)} $ $ \widehat{x^2 + 2x + 2} $ \stoptext This example also shows a new \autofences feature and widehats (widetilde and widecheck also work that way) that overcome limitations in fonts, so \def\CrappyHack#1{\im{#1{a} + #1{a+b} + #1{a+b+c} + #1{a+b+c+d} + #1{a+b+c+d+e} + #1{a+b+c+d+e+f}}\par} \CrappyHack\widehat \CrappyHack\widetilde \CrappyHack\wideacute \CrappyHack\widecheck will work. For thise in finance we now have $ \annuity{x + 1} + \lannuity{x + 1} + \rannuity{x + 1} + \lrannuity{x + 1} $ these are basically radicals (like sqrt) with two sided symbols.

help wanted: English native speaker as co-editor
by Henning Hraban Ramm 16 Apr '23

16 Apr '23

Hi, as most of you know, I’m the editor of context journal, the annual magazine for all members of context group, AKA “proceedings of the [previous] ConTeXt meeting”. While I have some experience as an editor in German, my English is far from perfect, so I need to rely on a native speaker for proofreading. In the least years, Clyde was filling that role very diligently, but he just moved and can’t make the time again. Deadline for the current issue is only in August, but we’re already at ~100 pages with the articles I got (by Willi, Willi, Willi, Taco, Taco, Götz, and me) and I’d like to spread the work a bit. * Would you like to help with that? * – You don’t need to understand the code. – I want the text to be correct and understandable, we don’t need to reach literary quality. – You can work in PDF or in the sources, as you like. – More than one person is welcome. BTW I never thought of offering “our” articles to TUG and NTG, while I sometimes got articles that were published in TUGboat or MAPS first. (And I’m writing/translating for DANTE’s DTK regularly.) I’ll start to do that, since “recycling” makes sense, and it also can’t hurt to spread the word. This is also a reminder to hand in your talks from Dreifelden – or new articles! Hraban

Nuclear reactions
by Gavin 16 Apr '23

16 Apr '23

Hi list, I’m writing nuclear reactions. When add prescripts to atomic symbols with two letters, (Be, Sr, Xe, etc.) the prescripts split the atoms! (See output below.) \starttext Text: \lohi[left]{4}{10}Be. Reaction: \startformula {\rm U}^^{235}__{92} + n \rightarrow {\rm Sr}^^{94}__{38} + {\rm Xe}^^{140}__{54} + 2n \stopformula \stoptext I looked at \chemical and \molecule, but could not find a way to make isotopes with those. Any ideas? Gavin

Software upgrade for ntg and contextgarden server 6 April
by Taco Hoekwater 16 Apr '23

16 Apr '23

Hi all, Tomorrow an attempt to upgrade the software on the ntg.nl / server-nl.contextgarden.nl server will be made. This means that various services will probably be offline for a while during the afternoon (CET timezone). Affected will be the NTG website, all the @ntg.nl mailing lists, the ConTeXt wiki, and some other subsites of contextgarden.net. We expect to the outage to last a few hours at most. I do not have an exhaustive list of potentially affected services and lists, so this message is sent out to the two largest mailing lists on the server. If you know of some other person or group that is likely going to be worried about a few hours of outage, please forward this message to them. Best wishes, Taco — Taco Hoekwater E: taco(a)bittext.nl genderfluid (all pronouns)

Hi, I just uploaded an update, the areas that were touched: - math (font) improvements (with mikael, roadmap stuff, fixes, compact mode testing) - text (font) improvements (with mikael, side track of math) - experimental stuff wrt project structure (with alan, complex huge files; prelude to possible partial overhaul) - some language details like labels (with tomas & students, ongoing) - little thingies that probably no one will notice unless it's bugged Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Using project-local fonts
by Kalouguine Andre 13 Apr '23

13 Apr '23

Hi, I'm writing a small report using EB Garamond as the main font. I am sometimes using Overleaf (which has a ConTeXt distribution that is accessible using a latexmkrc file). The problem is, the EB Garamond version that is included seems to have a bug: the c-t and s-t ligatures (and maybe others) are triggered when enabling `dlig` even though they are supposed to be in the `hlig` feature. I also would like to include the Hack font that isn't in the distribution. So, I'm looking for a way to embed the fonts into the project in a portable way instead of installing them in a system directory. Is there any way to do so ? The version of ConTeXt used is ConTeXt ver: 2021.03.05 19:11 MKIV fmt: 2023.4.13 int: english/english Here is a small MWE: output.tex``` \definefontfeature [myfontfeature] [default][ liga=yes, tlig=yes, dlig=yes, hlig=no, ] \definefontfamily [ebgaramond] [serif] [ebgaramond] [features=myfontfeature] \definefontfamily [ebgaramond] [math] [Garamond-Math] \definefontfamily [ebgaramond] [mono] [Hack] [tf = style:mono] \setupbodyfont[ebgaramond,12pt] \starttext The most distict sentence. \stoptext ``` latexmkrc``` $latex = 'ls /;context --luatex --synctex --batchmode %S' ``` -- Kalouguine Andre

Typescript definitions and font goodies for Adobe Garamond Premier Pro.
by Pawel Urbanski 13 Apr '23

13 Apr '23

Hi Everyone, Adobe's Garamond Premier Pro is one of the most popular fonts. However, it seems that there are always questions on how to properly use its features, such as optical sizes. I've found this Stackoverflow thread tha tprovides code and instructions: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/466645/context-how-to-use-font-opti… Context wiki does contain a page about using fonts, with instructions for optical sizes and other features too. Extra or less frequently used features are mentioned too. Do you know of any repository or would you be willing to share setup definition files for typescripts and goodies? Maybe we could update and expand a wiki section with such files and instructions? All the best, Pawel

Feynman Diagrams
by Gavin 13 Apr '23

13 Apr '23

Hi List, I’m looking for a way to include Feynman diagrams in my ConTeXt documents. I’ve used feynMF/feynMP and TikZ-feynman with LaTeX in the past, but it doesn’t look like either works directly with ConTeXt. My diagrams are pretty basic (example below). Does anyone have a ConTeXt solution they like? If not, I’ll add it to my list of summer MetaPost projects. Thanks! Gavin
