Adjusting Font Based Math Parameters
by juliusross＠gmail.com 12 Oct '24

12 Oct '24

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
by Alan Bowen 12 Oct '24

12 Oct '24

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

Footnote in a cell inside a row into a table !
by Jean-Pierre Delange 11 Oct '24

11 Oct '24

Dear users, I'm struggling with a bibliographic reference that I want to integrate after a name that happens to be in a cell, itself located in a table. All my code works, except for the bibliographic reference given by the footnote and the \cite command. Here's the line as it appears in my code: \startxtable[option=stretch, align={middle,lohi}, frame=off, distance=0.5em] \startxrow \startxcell \em Ambrosianus\footnote{Cf. \cite[alternative=entry][Bibliography::mai1]} \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable All preliminary declarations into the file are made correctly, as is the backmatter. The PDF output is correct, but the bibliographic reference is not displayed. I seem to vaguely remember a message pointing out a similar difficulty. By coding the bibliographic reference outside the cell, the whole text display is correct, but the bibliographic reference is not displayed. I’m testing this code under Mac OSX : system > ConTeXt ver: 2022.01.06 19:51 LMTX fmt: 2022.1.7 int: English/English and I’m satisfied with the work it is doing. Any idea about what I could looking for ? Many thanks ! JP

Re: Lua <-> TeXShop

Thank you very much, Hans, I had already written to Dick Koch before the first replies arrived. He wrote that I could simply use Lua(La)TeX. So it works with Lua(La)TeX. A self-created lua.engine works and your ConTeXt solution with --runner=mtxrun in the first line works as well.

penalties
by Henning Hraban Ramm 10 Oct '24

10 Oct '24

Yesterday I learned: \startsetups[*default] \widowpenalties 3 10000 1000 0 \clubpenalties 3 10000 1000 0 \orphanpenalties 2 8000 1000 \stopsetups If I want the penalty settings applied to “everything” (after defining the layout, I think?), then I need the setup "*defaults". Since TeX uses a club against orphans (brutal!), I’m not sure what \orphanpenalty is for. I remember \twinpenalty is against doubled words (below each other?), and \toddlerpenalty against single letter words at the end of a line (why “toddler”?). widows and clubs get only 150 in TeX, but 2000 in ConTeXt, as far as I could find. Are there more penalties that make sense to set individually? WRT demerits: Did I understand correctly that demerits are the “sum” (some formula) of badness and penalties in a line or paragraph?

widows and orphans in \definestartstop?
by Florian Grammel 09 Oct '24

09 Oct '24

I have defined a simple environment for verse within prose-context. Obviously I never want the first or last lines of the verses to stand as widows or orphans. I could just add \nobreak to every first and last line of verse to achieve this. But I was wondering whether I could change anything of my \definestartstop to do this automatically. Simply adding \nobreak to before= and after= doesn't work. Thank you all for your time! Best, Florian. \definestartstop [origverse] [before={\startnarrower[left,right]\startlines}, after={\stoplines\stopnarrower % \setupindenting[next] %\indenting is deprecated! \blank}] \startdocument prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose \startorigverse vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv vvvvvvvvvvv vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv vvvvvvvv vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv \stoporigverse prose again prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose prose \startorigverse vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv vvvvvvvvvvv vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv vvvvvvvv vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv \stoporigverse prose again ____________________________________________ Florian Grammel Copenhagen, Denmark

Lua <-> TeXShop

Hello, at the risk of this being the wrong address: can I edit and run Lua with TeXShop? Does anyone have experience with this? Or what could be used as an IDE for Lua? Greetings Thomas
