Does \startnotallmodes work?
by Gerben Wierda 11 May '22

Example. Call with context —mode=FR - Uncomment the first commented lines. Compilation fails because mode FR is on so that works But I get English anyway. Uncomment the second commented part and it fails, but it should not because mode=EN is not turned on. %\startmode[FR] % \BLURBONE % \stopmode \startnotallmodes[FR,RU]% english is the default \enablemode[EN] \stopnotallmodes \startmode[EN] % \BLURBTWO \setuplanguage[en][patterns={en}] \setupexternalfigure[directory=../LMTX-Output/without-ids/en/ArchiMate 3.1 Metamodel ESv4] \stopmode \startmode[FR] \setuplanguage[fr][patterns={en,fr}] \setupexternalfigure[directory=../LMTX-Output/without-ids/fr/ArchiMate 3.1 Metamodel ESv4] \stopmode \startmode[RU] \setuplanguage[ru][patterns={en,ru}] \setupexternalfigure[directory=../LMTX-Output/without-ids/ru/ArchiMate 3.1 Metamodel ESv4] \stopmode Gerben Wierda (LinkedIn <https://www.linkedin.com/in/gerbenwierda>) R&A IT Strategy <https://ea.rna.nl/> (main site) Book: Chess and the Art of Enterprise Architecture <https://ea.rna.nl/the-book/> Book: Mastering ArchiMate <https://ea.rna.nl/the-book-edition-iii/>

cross-reference query solved
by jbf 11 May '22

To those who assisted me with helpful hints yesterday, thank you. I finally got the cross-referencing working correctly after examining my overall structure in the light of those hints. I think that what was preventing things from working properly, was that I had all the entries for a particular chapter enclosed in a setup. I won't go into why I had adopted that approach, but in restructuring things far more sensibly, I was able to do away with the \start\...\stop setups. I think this is what was causing the problem.

Simple question
by Gerben Wierda 10 May '22

What is the easiest way to have a ‘database’ of translations for strings and maybe links? I now have 4 languages and 2 versions so 8 documents, but I’d like to have all translatable strings together so I can maintain these in a single file. Ideally I can do a file where the key of the translation is one language (say English) and the translations are part of that. Something I can call like this \translatephrase[English phrase][nl] \translatelocation[../LMTX-Output/without-ids/en/file.pdf][nl][simple] and where I can maintain all the translations a bit like this: \translationentry[English phrase]{ \definetranslatephrase[nl]Nederlandse frase] \definetranslatephrase[fr][Phrase français] } } \translatelocation[../LMTX-Output/without-ids/en/file.pdf][simple][nl][../LMTX-Output/without-ids/nl/file-simple.pdf]] \translatelocation[../LMTX-Output/without-ids/en/file.pdf][none][nl][../LMTX-Output/without-ids/nl/file.pdf]] Where the \translatelocation command can be used inside an \externalfigure command and \translatephrase can be used as as text. In the end I’d like to compile with context language=fr mode=simple mainfile.tex Doable?

Is there a "smart" capitalisation implementation?
by Zhichu 10 May '22

10 May '22

Hi, I am going to convince the Board of a journal to consider ConTeXt as an additional option. I want to make a module before I say anything. Right now I have this title problem. The journal requires the titles to be CAPITALISED, except for the acronyms. I'm currently using backticks `...` to wrap it and replace it with \egroup ...\WORD\bgroup{} with lpeg. This kinda works, but that's so ugly. Besides, the actual story is that I also want to add markdown as an option, so the backticks actually have meanings. I also checked the typo-cap.lua file to get a clue. But I used to use TeX exclusively and I have to admit that it's so overwhelming for a newbie. I really like the way where bibtex treats words enclosed in curly braces are ignored. Or are there something that's less aggressive than \WORD so the LaTeX trick works: \def\NoCaseChange#1{\noexpand\NoCaseChange{\noexpand#1}} Best wishes, ℤhichu ℂhen

a cross-reference query
by jbf 10 May '22

Hi list, In an attempt to make a dictionary interactive in certain ways, perhaps I am misusing the \in{}[] command here, but sometimes a reference works and sometimes it doesn't. I have no idea why it doesn't. Here is the situation: Each dictionary entry is a section that has been defined as 'entry', hence we have a \startentry[title=,marking=,reference=]...\stopentry structure. Many entries can refer to other entries in the dictionary (in most cases the headword is in Italian, but the definitions, explanations are in English in all cases). in 90% of cases my referencing is working, so here is an example of one that works when \setupinteraction[state=start] is set: \startentry[title={1aetà},marking={1aetà},reference={eta}]\\ 1. youth. 2. first age. {\emnp.} \bullet\enspaceThe age between adolescence and maturity and by extension all of the human being’sfirst age (as opposed to old age). Different cultures distinguish} age groupings in different ways. One would be unlikely to find, in English, terms like first age, second age etc. as recorded here. In fact there are probably only three general groupings in English: young, middle-aged, elderly, and the boundaries are rather flexible for these. Among the young category, English might distinguish infants, children, adolescents young adults. \rightarrow\enspace \in{giovani}[giovani] \stopentry In other words, there is an entry called 'giovani' and it begins \startentry[title={giovani},marking={giovani},reference={giovani}]. That correctly gives me a bold green clickable link which takes me to 'giovani'. There is no number or page reference involved. I simply want the link to take me to the entry concerned. But it does not always work. I have another entry called 'ad nutum' (Latin, not Italian in this case) with a reference to 'segretario' many pages on. I am absolutely sure I have the reference for segretario properly set up, both in its own entry and by calling it as I did for 'giovani', namely this time as \in{segretario}[segretario] but it is not recognized. This is not the only non-working case. There are several. Can anyone give me a hint as to what I might be doing wrong? I realise that usually these references call on page numbers or section numbers, but I don't want/need (or do I?) to use those. I simply the reader to be able to click on a hyperlink which takes them to the referenced entry. Julian

SVG style ignored after double semicolon
by Thangalin 10 May '22

10 May '22

Hey hey, The following produces a filled square, rather than an empty one: \startbuffer[svg] <svg> <rect width="100" height="100" style="stroke:rgb(0,0,0);;fill:none" /> </svg> \stopbuffer \starttext \placefigure{}{\includesvgbuffer[svg][conversion=mp]} \stoptext Remove the extra semicolon to get the expected result: <svg> <rect width="100" height="100" style="stroke:rgb(0,0,0);fill:none" /> </svg> It appears that a style immediately following two semicolons is ignored. The SVG was generated using the following R code: svg("filename.svg"); plot(rnorm(200)); dev.off() Arguably, R's SVG routines could be a bit tighter. Can the MP SVG parser code be relaxed to skip "empty" semicolons? $ context --version mtx-context | current version: 2022.05.02 16:19 Much appreciated.

How to place "Content" and other chapter-level titles the same vertical distance from the top?
by Joel 09 May '22

09 May '22

I created a chapter title style with a large number telling the chapter number, and below it the title of the chapter. It looks like this: --------------------- 1 <--really big chapter number=========== <-- there is a border created by a background image between these How to keep <--chapter title fish This is the article <-- the article begins about how to keepfish --------------------- \definefontsize[a]% \definefontsize[b]% \definefontsize[c]% \definefontsize[l]% \setupbodyfontenvironment[default]% [% a=1.200, b=1.440, c=1.728, l=8.916 ]% % \setuplabeltext[chapter=\strut] \setuphead[chapter][style=\ssc,placehead=yes,expansion=yes,page=yes, numbercommand=\groupedcommand{}{\blank[1cm]}, alternative=middle, numberstyle=ssl, numbercolor=green, strut=yes] \starttext \completecontent \chapter{Test} \input knuth \chapter{Test} \input knuth \stoptext The problem I'm facing, is anytime a chapter title is called, such as "Content" in complete content, or something in the appendix, such as one of the indexes, no number is printed above, so the vertical distance from the top of the page to the top of the chapter title changes. I need these to be consistent, as there is a background image, with vertical lines. Basically, if I call \chapter{}, it appears perfectly aligned vertically on the page, with no other settings. But when calling \completecontent or a similar title that won't get a number, because the number isn't placed, it is vertically higher on the page, but I need it to be printed the same height, as it it had an invisible number. I've tried adding strut (the code has it in two places), but don't know if I've used it appropriately, and it didn't solve the problem. --Joel
