Hi folks, if I use this: \setupheadertexts[] \setuptexttexts [margin] [] [\unframed[align=middle,width=\outermarginwidth]{\pagenumber}] [\unframed[align=middle,width=\outermarginwidth]{\pagenumber}] [] \starttext \dorecurse{50}{\samplefile{tufte}\par} \stoptext How can I avoid the pagenumber on the first page? Thank you very much for your help! Greetings Thomas

regular online meet-up
by Henning Hraban Ramm 09 Apr '25

09 Apr '25

You’re invited to our regular online meet-up, this upcoming Wednesday, April 9th, 19:00 CEST (UTC+2) at https://lecture.senfcall.de/hen-rbr-rku-oke (same, but shorter: https://u.mtxrun.eu/ctxmtg) ConTeXt users of all levels are welcome! Looking forward to seeing you, Hraban (Same blurb as always:) [Howto] * No special software installation required; most modern browsers should work (WebRTC required). * Open the URL above, 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, esp. with mobile connections. * Sometimes leaving and re-entering helps. * 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/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...

character replace
by Alan Caruanambo 09 Apr '25

09 Apr '25

Hi, I'm using a font (only in the headers) that doesn't have Spanish characters. What I want is for it to automatically replace the text with a custom font when I type it in the header. Sample: \chapter{Peru} ==> Peru (replace ú with u) ========= \definefont[typographercaps][name:typographercaps*default at 35pt] \setuphead [chapter] [align=middle, color=darkred, number=no, style=\typographercaps] \starttext \dorecurse{5}{\chapter{ann chapter} \input knuth} \stoptext

Dear list, I have the following sample: \startbuffer[x] a \stopbuffer \starttext \savebuffer[x][\jobname-temp.tex, prefix=no] whatever \stoptext Compiling it with current latest (2025.04.01 12:45) LMTX, the saved file name is "x". With current latest MkIV, the saved file name is \jobname-temp.tex. I think this may be a bug. Could anyone confirm this? Many thanks for your help, Pablo

This is as best as I could simplify it. First, there are values that define a series of state standards. These list what students need to know according to state law. Next, theres two registers that keeps track of every time the standard is taught in the text. For instance, in the third chapter, "standard2" is covered. It then has a list at the start of evey chapter listing the standards that appeared; and I could similarly add an index at the end listing page numbers.
