27 Feb '25

Hi all, Coming Wednesday 5 March we will be upgrading the operating system software of the NTG/ConTeXt Group web server. Starting at 1pm local time services like this and other ntg.nl <http://nth.nl/> and contextgarden.net mailing lists, the ConTeXt wiki, and the NTG and ConTeXt Group websites will be offline for a (hopefully short) period. Komende woensdag 5 maart gaan we de besturingssysteem software van de NTG/ConTeXt Group webserver upgraden. Vanaf 13:00 uur lokale tijd zijn diensten als deze en andere ntg.nl en contextgarden.net mailinglijsten, de ConTeXt wiki en de NTG en ConTeXt Group websites voor een (hopelijk korte) periode offline. Best wishes, Taco — Taco Hoekwater E: taco(a)bittext.nl genderfluid (all pronouns)

how to only switch fontclass ?
by autumnus 26 Feb '25

26 Feb '25

I've been writing bilingual documentation lately. When I switched the font class, I found that it was back to the default size. How should I just switch the font class without changing the font size or other attributes. %%%%%% \starttext \section{A\textbar A} \section{A\textbar{\switchtobodyfont[pagella]A}}% fontsize changed to default fontsize {\tfa A}\textbar{\tfa \switchtobodyfont[pagella]A}\textbar{A}% not work {\tfa A}\textbar{\switchtobodyfont[pagella]\tfa A}\textbar{A} % work but not handy \stoptext %%%%%% more about this issue, I don't know if context contains a command to switch fonts with the language. %%%%%% not work \starttext \appendtoks \usebodyfontparameter\languageparameter \languageparameter{bodyfont} \to \everylanguage \setuplanguage[cn][bodyfont={pagella,12pt}] A \the\font \textbar \cn A \the\font \stoptext %%%%%% thank for your help, autumnus

Description Lists with labels longer than a single line
by denis.maier＠unibe.ch 26 Feb '25

26 Feb '25

Hi, I have a list of description (used to typeset an index) where in a few cases the label is longer than a single line. Apparantly, the label can’t span multiple lines: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \definedescription[indexentry] [alternative=hanging, align=flushleft, headstyle=normal, margin=1cm, width=broad, ] \starttext \startindexentry{Aliba oros irged ba: mongγol irged-neri qara tamiki tataγsan büged jaručiγulaqu jerge-yi jiγaburi abču sidken čegerlegülkü dürme ene bolumui} 123 \stopindexentry \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Is there a way to make this work? Or maybe there’s an easier solution? Best, Denis

non standard tag for structure
by Pablo Rodriguez 25 Feb '25

25 Feb '25

Hans, with the following source, veraPDF-1.29.11 complains about a non-standard tag named /documentpart: \setuptagging[state=start] \setupbackend [format=PDF/A-3a, intent=sRGB IEC61966-2.1, level=0] \starttext whatever \pdfbackendactualtext{abc}{hoh} \stoptext The problematic object reads: 4 0 obj << /K 28 0 R /ParentTree 5 0 R /RoleMap << /break /NonStruct /document /Document /documentpart /DocumentFragment /navigationpage /NonStruct >> /Type /StructTreeRoot >> endobj If I replace (according to https://opensource.adobe.com/dc-acrobat-sdk-docs/pdfstandards/PDF32000_2008…) /documentpart with /Part, validation in veraPDF is perfectly fine. BTW, /DocumentFragment seems not to be included in PDF-1.7 (https://opensource.adobe.com/dc-acrobat-sdk-docs/pdfstandards/PDF32000_2008…) According to https://github.com/veraPDF/veraPDF-model/blob/4c8e855b68546547971121281ff2a…, /DocumentFragment seems to be only available in PDF-2.0. Providing a patch for strc-tag.lmt would be easy, but this would affect to ua-2 (which may use /DocumentFragment). Many thanks for your help, Pablo

issue with agr loaded patterns
by Pablo Rodriguez 25 Feb '25

25 Feb '25

Dear list, I have the following sample: \setupbodyfont[dejavu] \mainlanguage[agr] \setuplanguage[es][patterns={es, agr}] \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=1em] \hyphenatedword{πράγματα}\\ \es\hyphenatedword{πρᾶγματα}\\ \hyphenatedword{τέκνον}\\ \stopTEXpage \stoptext On the first line, I get the hyphenated word πράγ-μα-τα. But on the second line (with I thought they were the same paterns), I get the same word hyphenated as πρά-γμα-τα. What am I missing here? I would expect the same results. BTW, shouldn’t be τέκνον hyphenated as τέκ-νον? Many thanks for your help, Pablo

New Wiki
by Joaquín Ataz López 24 Feb '25

24 Feb '25

I just visited the ConTeXt wiki, and I was very pleasantly surprised by the new organization of the material. Without a doubt, it has been a great effort, but I believe it is well worth it, as the new structure helps both newcomers who want to get started and experienced users who want to delve deeper into specific aspects. My sincerest gratitude. -- Joaquín Ataz López Departamento de Derecho civil Universidad de Murcia
