Ajami script
by Henning Hraban Ramm 01 Jan '23

I just read this: https://www.bu.edu/articles/2022/fallou-ngom-discovers-ajami-african-writin… And now I’d like to know if ConTeXt is capable of typesetting this variant of Arabic. (Just out of curiosity, I can’t read any Arabic and don’t know any African language.) Hraban

numbering questions
by Henning Hraban Ramm 01 Jan '23

01 Jan '23

A happy new year to everyone! I’m playing with some examples of section numbering. * Is there a setup to influence the order of number segments? I.e. can I have “section.chapter.part“ instead of “part.chapter.section”? * How can I format the segments, e.g. to get two or three digits each (leading zeros)? * I can force a section number with “ownnumber”, but the next one is back in the previous scheme. Itemize has “start”. How can I start section chapter numbering at 3 (or -1 or whatever; I know I can start at 0 with “zero”) and let ConTeXt continue from there? My example tries to (ab)use the section numbering for a date (e.g. for a diary): ----- \definestructureconversionset[default][n,n,month,n][n] \definestructureseparatorset [default][-,-,-,-] \definehead[Year][chapter] \definehead[Month][section] \definehead[Day][subsection] \define[2]\TitleCmd{#1} % number only \setuphead[Year,Month,Day][number=yes,page=no,command=\TitleCmd] \setuphead[Year][page=yes] %\setuphead[Month][] \setuphead[Day][style={\ss\bf}] \def\Dummycontent{ \dorecurse{12}{ \startMonth New Month. \dorecurse{5}{ \startDay Another day. \stopDay } \stopMonth }} \starttext \startYear[ownnumber=2023,title=This] A new year begins. \Dummycontent \stopYear \startYear Next year. \Dummycontent \stopYear \stoptext ----- Hraban

issue with font
by Pablo Rodriguez 01 Jan '23

01 Jan '23

Hans, I have the following sample. \starttext \definedfont[TruetypewriterPolyglott-mELa.ttf] \input zapf \stoptext I get a fatal error in the font file (both LMTX and MkIV). Font is https://www.fontspace.com/truetypewriter-polyglott-font-f14955 (direct donwnload from https://www.fontspace.com/get/family/zmmx1) I don’t know what is wrong in the font, but it would be great to be able to use it with ConTeXt. Many thanks for your help, Pablo

Adding support for German language to the Words conversion
by Marcus Christopher Ludl 31 Dec '22

31 Dec '22

Hello all, this is my first contribution to this mailing list. 😄 Recently, when I posted a question on StackExchange.com regarding adding support for another language (German) to the "Words" conversion in ConTeXt (see here: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/657534/how-to-add-support-for-anoth…) @mickep suggested that I post the patched file (core-con.lua) to the mailing list, once I have it finished, so that it can be added for all to use. So, now that I'm confident my code works well, I would like to do just that. 😄 How should I proceed? Should I just send the file including my new code as an attachement to the mailing list? Or would it be preferrable to paste only the new parts of the code inline into an e-mail? Is that even the correct mailing list or would it be better to send this to dev-context(a)ntg.nl? Best, Marcus

language identifier for all languages
by Pablo Rodriguez 30 Dec '22

30 Dec '22

Hi Hans, as already mentioned in a previous thread (https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2022/106713.html) I think it might be useful to have an identifier for any language, such as in: \setuphyphenation[method=traditional] \registerhyphenationexception[*][macOS] \registerhyphenationexception[any][macOS] \registerhyphenationexception[it][macOS] \startbuffer \currentlanguage: \hyphenatedword{macOS} \stopbuffer \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=1em] \getbuffer \language[it]\getbuffer \stopTEXpage \stoptext I think this is better than having other commands to add hyphenation exceptions for all languages. I wonder whether Steffen would be fine with this addition. Many thanks for your help, Pablo

New c-o-w: The XMas gift for ConTeXt users
by Zdeněk Svoboda 28 Dec '22

28 Dec '22

Hello ConTeXt community! I'm Zdeněk Svoboda, a master degree student at Mendel university in Brno. I've been using ConTeXt for a while now and have always been impressed by its capabilities and the helpfulness of this community. For my thesis project with Tomáš Hála as the supervisor, I've developed an online application for working with ConTeXt. The main goal was to create an application capable of compiling ConTeXt source right from the browser but I thought that it's not enough and added a few features or tools on top of that. Functions of the application include: - User accounts to save files and access them from other computers. - Editor with syntax highlighting and autocompletion for ConTeXt command. - Generating PDF document and previewing it directly from the browser. - Layout designer to customize the layout of their documents with a variety of options and mouse resizability of each layout element. - Table designer for creating and customize tables with alignment and border settings, colors, merging and splitting cells eg. - Lists designer with a simple interface to customize lists. - Help function for ConTeXt commands (hidden under the "?" button) Developing this application was a great learning experience for me, and I faced a number of technical challenges along the way. For example, having to dig through the XML document to extract all the information needed for the "?" help function. I'm excited to share my project with the ConTeXt community and hope that it will be a useful resource for someone. If you're interested in trying it out, you can find it at https://www.context-on-web.eu/. I'd love to hear any feedback or suggestions you have. If you find a bug or encounter an error while using the application, please let me know (and cc: thala(a)mendelu.cz) the steps you took that caused it. Known bugs: - Generated code from table designer needs better formatting - Duplicated color definitions in table designer - Layout designer -- numbers are not rounded Best regards, Zdeněk Svoboda
