Lemma in footer - some display issue
by Jean-Pierre Delange 16 Oct '24

16 Oct '24

Dear CTX users, After many months of procrastination and after discovering Ekdosis for LaTEX, I've dived back into the issues of different levels of footnotes in order to display on the first level the current notes and on the levels below the notes concerning lemmatization. Unfortunately, while I'm quite satisfied with the first page of notes, a strange phenomenon affects the lemmatization notes on the 4th page: the number of the line concerned by the lemma overwrites the last letter of the word in the lemma or in the previous lesson. I can't work out the cause of this problem. Even something like the addition of : \kern0.5em doesn't help. Does anyone have an approach that I haven't intuited? Below a MWE :

max function in spreadsheettable
by juh+ntg-context＠mailbox.org 16 Oct '24

16 Oct '24

Dear all, I have a cell that calculates a value that may not be a negative value. If it is a negatiive value the cell should show zero. \startcell[style=normal] @ "0.2f EUR" $pauschale.eintag$ - ((D[row] * (0.2 * $pauschale.vororttag$)) + (E[row] * (0.4 * $pauschale.vororttag$)) + (F[row] * (0.4 * $pauschale.vororttag$))) \stopcell The $-variables will get resolved by Pandoc before ConTeXt comes into play. As far as I understood the handdbook spreadsheets-mkiv.pdf it is possible to define lua functions inside a cell. Who would you implement a max function that sets the value to 0 if it is negative? TIA juh P.S. For German speakers: We try to implement a Reisekostenformular.

Do you have the pdf file for the spec of BG/T 7714-2015? send me one please if you have it.

I am trying to implement bibliography management in GB/T 7714-2015 (Chinese bibliography style standard), of Author-Year format.

making TABLE spacing match tabulate/halign spacing
by Kirill Davidov 15 Oct '24

15 Oct '24

Greetings, TABLE uses framed extensively to make its cells. it adds all sorts of offsets and paddings (especially vertical) to cells that annoy me greatly. i'd like to set up TABLEs to have the same vertical spacing as a regular tabulate table or even halign, but i keep getting lost in the options for both TABLE and framed. which ones do i need? i'd like it to play nice with interline spacing options as well. MWE: % === mwe start === \startsetups document:start \setupinterlinespace[line=3.5ex] \stopsetups %\showboxes \startdocument \startcolumns[n=4] text\blank[none] more text\blank[none] \columnbreak \unprotect \halign{% \hss#\tabskip=1em&\tabskip=0pt#\cr text&more text\cr more text&text\cr }% \protect \columnbreak \starttabulate[|r|l|] \NC text \NC more text \NC\AR \NC more text \NC text \NC\AR \stoptabulate \columnbreak \start \setupTABLE[column][1][align=flushright]% \setupTABLE[column][2][align=flushleft]% \bTABLE \bTR \bTD text \eTD \bTD more text \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD more text \eTD \bTD text \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stop \stopcolumns \stopdocument % === mwe end === Kirill

creating a printed book
by David Roderick 14 Oct '24

14 Oct '24

I have created 22 MSword files mainly text with embedded PNG diagrams. I am seeking to have these converted to Context and to redo the (simple) diagrams. I was thinking of using MetaPost. I am seeking to pay a typesetter to assist me in this task. I would be willing to pay for your time or for the time of a colleague you could direct me to. I am seeking to have typeset a book. The MSWord files have already been professionally proof-read, and the subject matter is political economy from the 18th century and how this translates to and may contradict conventional wisdom within the field of modern economics. Other typesetters I have contacted have suggested running pandoc to create a LaTeX file and use Tikz for the diagrams. But I have spent 3 days reading on advancements in the ConText side of the industry which I suspect is far more advanced. I would prefer to use better tools as a longer term solution. Can you advise me? David Roderick.

Adjusting Font Based Math Parameters

Hi, For testing I would like to be able to adjust the font-based math parameters within ConTeXt MKIV. I have been trying this \startformula \Umathfractiondenomdown\displaystyle=1em \displaystyle \frac{a}{b} \stopformula but the second command does not seem to have any effect on the output at all. I am sure I am missing something, any help much appreciated. JR

equation to right margin

I have the following which works, except for the fact that the equation number does not go to the right margin. \startplaceformula \startformula[align=middle, prefix=no] \startcases[distance=2pt] \NC \[21-(9 - n^2)\NC =□^\prime\]\NR \NC\hfill n^2+12 \NC=□^\prime.\NR[eq04] \stopcases \stopformula \stopplaceformula I expect that I have missed something pretty basic here, so any guidance will be greatly appreciated. All best, Alan

Issue with Custom Conversion Code in Latest Version of ConTeXt
by Jorge Manuel 12 Oct '24

12 Oct '24

Dear ConTeXt Support Team, I hope this message finds you well. In the latest version of ConTeXt, the following piece of code no longer works as expected. I use it to define a custom legal numbering format for itemized lists: \def\legalconversion#1{ \dorecurse{\numexpr\currentitemlevel-1}{% \namedstructurecounter{itemgroup}{\currentparentitemgroup}{\recurselevel}.}% #1% } \defineconversion[legal][\legalconversion] Could you kindly advise on how to modify or fix this code to be compatible with the current version of ConTeXt? Thank you very much for your assistance and support! Best regards, Jorge
