Flushright problems with Japanese
by Gerben Wierda 16 May '23

16 May '23

When I use flushright, my Japanese characters get widely spaced as if flushing right doesn't work Minimal example: % =============================== \definefallbackfamily [archimate] [ss] [Hiragino Sans] [preset=range:japanese, tf=style:W3, it=style:W3, bf=style:W5, bi=style:W5, force=yes] \definefontfamily [archimate] [ss] [Optima] \setupbodyfont[archimate] \startsetups [japanese] \setscript [nihongo] \stopsetups \setuplanguage [ja] [setups=japanese] \mainlanguage [ja] \starttext \setupindenting[none] \setupindenting[no] \framed[width=\textwidth,frame=off,align=flushleft]{作図：A bit of text} \framed[width=\textwidth,frame=off,align=flushright]{作図：A bit of text} \framed[width=\textwidth,frame=off,align=flushright]{作図: A bit of text} \framed[width=\textwidth,frame=off]{作図: A bit of text} \stoptext % =============================== Output: Gerben Wierda (LinkedIn <https://www.linkedin.com/in/gerbenwierda>, Mastodon <https://newsie.social/@gctwnl>) R&A IT Strategy <https://ea.rna.nl/> (main site) Book: Chess and the Art of Enterprise Architecture <https://ea.rna.nl/the-book/> Book: Mastering ArchiMate <https://ea.rna.nl/the-book-edition-iii/>

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t-tikz t-title t-transliterator t-typearea t-typescripts t-vim t-visualcounter Some of these are probably outdated, I didn’t check.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

installer
by Hans Hagen 13 May '23

13 May '23

Hi, The mtx-install-tikz is now mtx-install-modules, so mtxrun --script install-modules will show what to do. By looking at mtxrun --script install-modules --list some might be inspired to adapt then name of the archive to more fit the t-* scheme. Willi's updated module wins the price for the lonbgest name and I didn't want to impose on users to key that one in. So: - which ones are missing - which ones are obsolete - which modules deserve better names - do we need more features - should we push to and fetch from ctan instead (in the future) The outlier is tikz where we also need to wipe files (maybe more needs to be wiped). I had to adapt some 'unzip archives' code because two modules were kind of different (delayed compression data) and I hope it doesn't affect the regular installer (as I couldn't test that here) but we'll notice that soon enough. The lazy user can run mtxrun --script install-modules --install --all but best is to go lightweight (as there are some modules related to typescripts that might be outdates). Someone (not me) has to adapt the wiki.

This is rmally done by loading special math fonts into the math family slots.
by Carlos 11 May '23

11 May '23

Hello list the whole error message I get is tex error > tex error on line 90 in file ./atestinminion-context.mkiv: Math error: parameter 'operatorsize' with id 8 in style 0 is not set <macro> \m_operator_text \endgroup \Ustopmathmode <macro> \m_operator_text \stopforceddisplaymath \egroup \ifcase \c_strc_formulas_frame_mode \else \strc_math_number_check_offsets \fi \ifcase \c_strc_formulas_frame_mode \strc_math_number_check \or \strc_math_number_check_outside \else \strc_math_number_check_inside \fi \str <macro> \m_operator_text \endgroup \strc_formulas_endstrut \stopinnermath \afterdisplayspace \egroup <macro> \m_operator_text \strc_formulas_place_number \strc_formulas_flush_number \dostarttagged \t!formulacontent \empty \dotagregisterformula \c_strc_formulas_n \csname \e!stop \formulaparameter \c!alternative \v!formula \endcsname \dostoptagged \dostoptagged \nonoindentati <line 3.90> \stopformula \startformula \int_{\infty} >> \stopformula Sorry, but I can't typeset math unless various parameters have been set. This is normally done by loading special math fonts into the math family slots. Your font set is lacking at least the parameter mentioned earlier. What parameter is this referring to here? If I were to load sans it finishes off without errors on the math side, but then again, doesn't load sans at all mkiv lua stats > loaded fonts: 2 files: latinmodern-math.otf, minionpro-regular.otf And as you can guess, the above is not I was looking forward to -- Real computer scientists don't comment their code. The identifiers are so long they can't afford the disk space.

Custom TOC with makeup and setups
by Jethro Djan 10 May '23

10 May '23

Hello, I am trying to create a presentation where at the start of each section in my presentation, a custom TOC page is shown. When I am at a particular section, the TOC will grey out all other sections (not implemented in my MWE). I have tried different ways but I find using makeups for the TOC page works ok (following https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setuplistalternative and Aditya's presentation slides on their blog). My challenge is that when a makeup page is inserted, it leaves a page with the section name blank before it. How do I fix it? Any other way to achieve this is also welcome. My MWE: \setuppapersize[S6] \startuseMPgraphic{itemize:toc} save p; path p; p := ( (0,-0.5)--(0,0.5)--(0.866,0)--cycle ) scaled 1.5ExHeight; fill p withcolor \MPcolor{Black}; \stopuseMPgraphic \definesymbol[itemize:toc][\useMPgraphic{itemize:toc}] \definelistalternative [toclist] [renderingsetup=list:toclist] \setupheadtext[section=Table of Contents] \startsetups toclist \framed[align=normal, frame=off]{\placelist [section] [criterium=all, alternative=toclist]} \stopsetups \definehspace[tspace][4cm] \setupframed[ height=fit, width=fit, location=middle, frame=off, align=normal, offset=none, ] \startsetups list:toclist {\hbox to \hsize \bgroup \hspace[tspace] \framed[width=10mm,align=flushleft]{\symbol[itemize:toc]}% \framed[empty=yes]{\currentlistentrynumber\currentlistentrypagenumber}% \doifelse\currentlistentrylocation{\namedstructureheadlocation{section}}{% \framed[align=flushright,]{{\bfb\currentlistentrytitle}}% }{\framed[align=flushright,]{\currentlistentrytitle}} \egroup} \stopsetups \definemakeup [toc] [ doublesided=no, page=yes, bottom=, top=, pagestate=start, headerstate=empty, footerstate=empty, setups={toclist}, before=\setups{toc:setups}, ] \startsetups toc:setups \setupbackgrounds[page][background=color, backgroundcolor=blue] \stopsetups \definemakeup [standard] [ doublesided=no, page=right, pagestate=start, headerstate=empty, footerstate=empty, before=\setups{standard:setups}, ] \startsetups standard:setups \setupbackgrounds[page][background=color, backgroundcolor=lightgray] \stopsetups \define\TOC{ \starttocmakeup \stoptocmakeup } \starttext \startstandardmakeup \title{Your Title Here} \stopstandardmakeup \startsection[title={Motivation}] \TOC \startitemize \item something cool \item something else cool \stopitemize \stopsection \startsection[title={Main strands of theory}] \TOC \startitemize \item another cool thing \item cool too \stopitemize \stopsection \stoptext Thanks in advance.

regular online meet-up
by Henning Hraban Ramm 10 May '23

10 May '23

You’re invited to join on Wednesday, May 10th, 15:00 CEST (UTC+2) at https://lecture.senfcall.de/hen-rbr-rku-oke (same, but shorter: https://v34h.de/ctxmtg) ConTeXt users of all levels are welcome! Next meeting will be on June 14th. (Same blurb as every time:) [Howto] * No special software installation required; most modern browsers should work (WebRTC required). * Open the above URL, accept the privacy statement, * enter your name, * click "join" (or "start" if you’re the first), * click "with microphone", allow your browser to access it, check the audio. * Your microphone is muted if you join. Activate microphone and/or camera with the buttons at the bottom. * Minimize the default presentation with the "screen" button, bottom right. * If you’d like to share your screen or upload a file, you can make yourself the presenter: Click on your user name, change the setting, then you’ll see the "screen sharing" button beside the camera button; also there’s now "manage presentations" behind the "plus" button. Beware there is only one presenter at a time, so don’t kill someone else’s presentation. [Technical hints] * Sound is usually better if you use a headset (less noise for everyone). * Connection problems are mostly due to low bandwidth or high latency on your side, e.g. with mobile connections. * If audio/video doesn’t work for you, you can still use the text chat. * Screen sharing needs a lot of bandwidth. * BigBlueButton documentation applies: https://bigbluebutton.org/teachers/tutorials/ [Netiquette] * Please use a name that we recognize from here. Some feel uncomfortable with anonymous lurkers. * Mute your microphone while you’re not talking. * It’s nice to show your face at least when you join. * If there are connection problems, stop camera sharing. * The room is set to “everyone’s a moderator“, I trust you... See you, Hraban
