[NTG-context] new upload

[Hans Hagen]

Hi,

I uploaded lmtx. There have been some additions to tabulate.

\starttext

% \showboxes
% \showstruts

\starttabulate[|w(top,3cm)|w(top,3cm)|]
\NC test \NC test \par test \NC \NR
\NC test \NC test \par test \NC \NR
\stoptabulate

\starttabulate[|w(top,packed,3cm)|w(top,packed,3cm)|]
\NC test \NC test \par test \NC \NR
\NC test \NC test \par test \NC \NR
\stoptabulate

\starttabulate[interlinespace=no,format={|w(bottom,3cm)|w(bottom,3cm)|}]
\NC test \NC test \par test \NC \NR
\NC test \NC test \par test \NC \NR
\stoptabulate

\starttabulate[format={|w(3cm)|w(3cm)|}]
\NC \vtop{\strut test} \NC \vtop{\strut test\par \strut test} \NC \NR
\NC \vtop{\strut test} \NC \vtop{\strut test\par \strut test} \NC \NR
\stoptabulate

\starttabulate[interlinespace=no,format={|w(3cm)|w(3cm)|}]
\NC \vtop{\strut test} \NC \vtop{\strut test\par \strut test} \NC \NR
\NC \vtop{\strut test} \NC \vtop{\strut test\par \strut test} \NC \NR
\stoptabulate

\starttabulate[interlinespace=no,format={|w(3cm)|w(3cm)|}]
\NC \vbox{\strut test} \NC \vbox{\strut test\par \strut test} \NC \NR
\NC \vbox{\strut test} \NC \vbox{\strut test\par \strut test} \NC \NR
\stoptabulate

\starttabulate[interlinespace=no,format={|w(3cm)|w(3cm)|}]
\NC \vtop{\strut test} \NC \vbox{\strut test\par \strut test} \NC \NR
\NC \vbox{\strut test} \NC \vtop{\strut test\par \strut test} \NC \NR
\stoptabulate

\stoptext

This permits top and bottom alignments of text blobs without interrow 
spacing being disturbed.

A bit more weird addition is the new \TM (move) option:

\starttext

\defineorientation[test][orientation=down,vertical=top]

\startbuffer[b]
\definetabulatemove[a][xoffset=40pt]
\definetabulatemove[b][orientation=test,yoffset=depth]

\starttabulate[|c|c|]
\TM[a] \NC \darkred   cell one   \NC \darkgray cell one   \NC \NR
\TM[b] \NC \darkgreen cell one   \NC \darkblue cell one   \NC \NR
\TM[a] \NC \darkred   cell two   \NC \darkgray cell two   \NC \NR
\TM[b] \NC \darkgreen cell two   \NC \darkblue cell two   \NC \NR
\TM[a] \NC \darkred   cell three \NC \darkgray cell three \NC \NR
\TM[b] \NC \darkgreen cell three \NC \darkblue cell three \NC \NR
\TM[a] \NC \darkred   cell four  \NC \darkgray cell four  \NC \NR
\TM[b] \NC \darkgreen cell four  \NC \darkblue cell four  \NC \NR
\stoptabulate
\stopbuffer

\start \showmakeup[line] \showstruts \ruledvbox{\getbuffer[b]} \stop
\start                   \showstruts \ruledvbox{\getbuffer[b]} \stop
\start                               \ruledvbox{\getbuffer[b]} \stop

\startbuffer[b]
\definetabulatemove[a][xoffset=20pt]

\starttabulate[|p|p|]
\TM[a] \NC \darkred   \samplefile{tufte} \NC \darkgray \samplefile{ward} 
\NC \NR
        \NC \darkgreen \samplefile{tufte} \NC \darkblue 
\samplefile{ward} \NC \NR
\TM[a] \NC \darkred   \samplefile{tufte} \NC \darkgray \samplefile{ward} 
\NC \NR
        \NC \darkgreen \samplefile{tufte} \NC \darkblue 
\samplefile{ward} \NC \NR
\stoptabulate
\stopbuffer

\start \small \small \showmakeup[line] \showstruts \getbuffer[b] \stop

\stoptext

This uses some new low level alignment options that operate on rows as a 
whole. As usual, I have no clue what users will come up with but the 
idea is that these 'moves' are independent of the alignment so the in 
this case shifted columns actually keeps their alignment. (It is mostly 
about consistent support luametatex engine features but it might come in 
handy.)

Some other 'new' things are too obscure to mention now,
