Hi, I have seen ConTeXt comes with an extension for VS Code. How do you use that? I have tried the code in the readme, but this doesn't seem to work. Best, Denis

Dear Sytse, Thank you for your suggestion. > > Maybe paragraphs work for you? > (https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Columns) I will check it. BTW, Use “\column” and don’t print a blank page is the simplest way. Thank you again. Best regards, Dalyoung

configure \digits
by Damien Thiriet 25 Aug '19

25 Aug '19

Hi, According to the wiki and 2003 article Pasting Digits together, to get 1314000 typeset as 1\,314\,000, I should do \setdigits 3 \digits{1314000} unfortunatly, the \setdigits command looks obsolete (MkII command? Could not find in my ConTeXt help information server (http://localhost:8088/mtx-server-ctx-help.lua? and so on…). I am using 2018 texlive. Maybe job is now done by \setupunit, but couldn't figure out how it works. So what should I do to have numbers typeset the French way (points&commas or thinmuskip&commas)? MWE to be improved \starttext \setdigits 3 \digits{1314000} \stoptext Thanks, Damien Thiriet

Bug with jobs.file.run?
by Aditya Mahajan 25 Aug '19

25 Aug '19

Hi, I use jobs.file.run in t-filter to cache the results so that the external filters are only run if the content has changed. For some reason, this is not working but I cannot figure out why? Repeating the same steps as t-filter manually works, but something goes wrong when I use the t-filter interface. See the attached test.tex file. When I run context test.tex context test.tex | grep run I get graphics > run > processing file, no changes in 'test.md', not processed graphics > run > processing file, changes in 'test-temp-pandoc-0.tmp', processing forced Notice that the first run is the manual job.files.run and the second run is the one from t-filter. The test file contains a fix, which is simply a copy-paste of the relavant code from graph-fil.lua. When I run context --mode=fix test.tex context --mode=fix test.tex | grep run I get graphics > run > processing file, no changes in 'test.md', not processed graphics > run > processing file, no changes in 'test-temp-pandoc-0.tmp', not processed So, I am not sure what is going wrong, and why is it getting fixed if I simply copy the definition of jobs.file.run. Any hints? Thanks, Aditya

Produce multiple versions in one run
by Denis Maier 23 Aug '19

23 Aug '19

Hi, let's say I want to produce two different versions of my document, one with papersize a4, the other with papersize a5. ``` \setuppapersize[a4][a4] \startmode[a5] \setuppapersize[a5][a5] \stopmode ``` What is the best way to produce both versions with one command? A makefile? Or is there a way to do this with context alone? Best, Denis

Different layout for specific pages
by Stanislav Sokolenko 23 Aug '19

23 Aug '19

Dear list, I would like to specify in advance that certain pages are to have different layouts. I put together an example based on what read on the wiki (https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Layout#Multiple_layouts) \setuppapersize[A6] \definelayout[bigheader][header=0.5\textheight] \definelayout[smallheader][header=0.1\textheight] \setuplayout[smallheader] \definelayout[1][bigheader] \definelayout[2][smallheader] \starttext \showframe \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \stoptext However, rather then having the big header only on page 1, I end up with it on every page except page 2. Is this a bug or can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I've tried using the lmtx binaries, a recent context standalone version (2019-08-17) and using context live with the same result everywhere. Thanks, Stan
