Are paths resolved relative to file location or calling location?
by denis.maier＠unibe.ch 18 Feb '25

18 Feb '25

Hi, I have a (simplified) project structure like this: root-folder /asset /tex /results /source My tex file is stored under assets, the source is an xml file under source, the pdf should be saved under results. If I call context from within the assets folder, the pdf is created as expected, but if I call context from the results folder, I get an error message saying that the xml file is not found. As the file is created properly when I call context from the assets folder, I assume context performs lookups based on the calling location (not the file location). Is that correct? Is there a simple way to call context from the results folder and still have the sources found, or do I have to call context from the assets folder and copy/move the result afterwards? Best, Denis

Math hat misplaced in Libertinus
by Gavin 18 Feb '25

18 Feb '25

The hat accent is misplaced in Libertinus. I just noticed this in the LMTX from January. It is still the case in the latest LMTX. \usetypescriptfile[libertinus] \setupbodyfont [libertinus,12pt]% \startTEXpage[offset=1pt] \m{ \hat v \neq \vec v } \stopTEXpage This problem is not present in the TexLive 2024 version of LMTX. Thanks! Gavin

What is the right way now?

mixed profiles in validation
by Pablo Rodriguez 17 Feb '25

17 Feb '25

Hi Hans (and Steffen), I get mixed profiles with the following source: \setupbackend[format=ua2] \starttext a \stoptext The latest version of VeraPDF (https://software.verapdf.org/) complains of both PDF-2 UA-2 detected and PDF-1.7 A-3a. In fact, only VeraPDF only validates PDF-1.7 (and results are a mess). I must admit I don’t know what may be causing the inclusion of the A-3a profile (marking). Any ideas about what may be going wrong here? Many thanks for your help, Pablo

Copy PDF text without hyphenated words
by Gerion Entrup 17 Feb '25

17 Feb '25

Hi, I recently learned that Typst seems to be able to produce PDFs where a hyphenated text can be copied without the hyphenation (so all words in the copied text are not hyphenated). I seem to recall that the PDF format has an extra mode for this, where the creation program can embed some text that should only appear when copied and replace the word parts that are visible on the page. ConTeXt, in it's default mode, seems not to embed this text. When copying hyphenated words, the hyphenated word parts appear as distinct words (even without the hyphen). Is there a way to tell ConTeXt to produce PDF where the text can be copied without hyphenated words? Gerion

Invalid href in ToC in exported html
by Florent Michel 16 Feb '25

16 Feb '25

Hi, It seems (unless I am missing something) that hyperlinks in the table of contents for the exported html are incorrect when `reference` is set. Minimal(-ish) working example: _________________________________ \setupbackend[export=yes] \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext \placecontent \startchapter[title=Chapter 1] Blahblah \stopchapter \startchapter[title=Chapter 2, reference=chapter_2] Blahblahblah \stopchapter \stoptext _________________________________ Annotated relevant part of the generated `.html`: ... <div> <div class="list"> <div class="listitem chapter" href="#aut-1" onclick="location.href='#aut-1'">  <div class="listtag">1</div> <div class="listcontent">Chapter 1</div> <div class="listpage">2</div> </div> <div class="listitem chapter" href="#aut-2" onclick="location.href='#aut-2'">  <div class="listtag">2</div> <div class="listcontent">Chapter 2</div> <div class="listpage">3</div> </div> </div> <div class="section chapter level-2" id="aut-1"> <div class="sectioncaption"> <div class="sectionnumber">1</div> <div class="sectiontitle">Chapter 1</div> </div> <div class="sectioncontent"> Blahblah </div> </div> <div class="section chapter level-2" id="chapter_2"> <div class="sectioncaption"> <div class="sectionnumber">2</div> <div class="sectiontitle">Chapter 2</div> </div> <div class="sectioncontent"> Blahblahblah </div> </div> </div> ... Would someone be aware of a workaround (apart from using ‘aut-2’ as reference in this case) or other solution? Best regards, Florent

extending protrusion values for Greek characters
by Pablo Rodriguez 16 Feb '25

16 Feb '25

Dear list, as I’m playing with column sets for parallel texts, I have noticed that some Greek characters lack protrusion values. Is there a way to add them (as an extension to "protrusion=quality" values) to a single document? This would be great to test them (to consider their addition to main ConTeXt in the future). Many thanks for your help, Pablo

cutting pages for booklet
by Pablo Rodriguez 15 Feb '25

15 Feb '25

Dear list, the way to have a booklet is straightforward: \setuppapersize[A4][A3, landscape] \setuparranging[2UP] \setupbodyfont[128pt] \setupmakeup[page] [pagestate=start, align=center, style=\ssbfd] \starttext \dorecurse{24} {\startmakeup[page]\recurselevel\stopmakeup} \stoptext But what happens if I already have landscape A3 that I need to print as an A4 booklet? I mean, which is the way to instruct ConTeXt to cut each A3 page in half and arrange each half in its proper position in the booklet? Many thanks for your help, Pablo
