Dear Aditya and Youssef Cherem, To: Aditya, > > There is the talk that Wolfgang gave in this year's context meeting: > > https://meeting.contextgarden.net/2021/talks/2021-09-23/definefontfamily.pdf > Thank you for letting me know the talk which gives me more understanding about \definefontfamily. To: Youssef Cherem, Recently, Wolfgang helped me to define a font family as following, and I hope that it gives you some idea to use \definefontfamily. \definefallbackfamily [nanum] [rm] [Tex Gyre Pagella] [range={basiclatin,latinsupplement,latinextendeda,latinextendedb}, force=yes] \definefallbackfamily [nanum] [rm] [Noto Serif CJK KR] [range={cjkunifiedideographs},force=yes] \definefontfamily [nanum] [rm] [Nanum Myeongjo OTF] [ it={style:regular,features:{*,slanted}}, bi={style:bold,features:{*,slanted}},force=yes] Explanation: 1. I use Korean font whose family name is “Nanum Myeongjo OTF” as main font. Since it doesn’t have italic style and bold italic style, I add [it=… , bi=…] to simulate the styles. 2. Since I want to use English character in "TeX Gyre Pagella”. I add it in the first \definefallbackfamily with an option [range={…},force=yes] which restrict the use of font to Latin characters. 3. We use chinese characters also in the Korean sentences. But "Nanum Myeongjo OTF” doesn’t have Chinese characters. So I add another font “Noto Serif CJK KR” which contains Chinese character with the option [range={cjkunified…},force=yes] in the second \definefallbackfamily. There are two font families more, sans and mono which is similar as rm. It is really nice to use \definefontfamily which saves a lot of work to define fonts. Thanks Wolfgang. If there are something should changed in the above definition, please tell me what to do. Best regards, Dalyoung

local notes, "serried" (paragraph) or column style.
by Youssef Cherem 03 Jan '22

03 Jan '22

I've tried to implement some sort of affiliation description with local notes. I'd like them to be either in a single paragraph or in columns (e.g., 3), but the options `serried` or `n=3` don't seem to work for text notes (they do work for notes at the bottom). Any help would be much appreciated. ==== \definenote[afiliação]%[numberconversion=set 2] \setupnote[afiliação][ %paragraph=yes, rule=off, location=text, ] \setupnotation[afiliação][numberconversion=a, way=bypage, %location=text, %alternative=serried, % no effect alternative=hanging, width=fit, % broad %distance=.5em, %display=no ] % or set 1 % n=3 doesn’t work \starttext \startlocalnotes Author 1\afiliação{asdf} Author 2\afiliação{asdf} \dorecurse{5}{\afiliação{Nota explicativa.}} \placelocalnotes[afiliação] \stoplocalnotes \stoptext ====

\thanks inside author in section
by Youssef Cherem 03 Jan '22

03 Jan '22

I've tried to implement a journal-like footnote with the authors' affiliation for each section/chapter, by adapting things from the wiki here <https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Table_of_Contents#Author_in_ToC> and here <https://wiki.contextgarden.net/LaTeX_Thanks>. However, one thing that bugs me is that any note name I choose other than "thanks" does not work, and I have no clue why. Am I missing something, or is there a more elegant way to implement this? As an aside, I'd rather have the footnotes below the "thanks" notes. Is there any option that does this? \setuplist[section][ textcommand=\SectionTocEntry, after=\blank, ] \define[1]\SectionTocEntry{% \doifnot{\rawstructurelistuservariable{author}}{} {\start \it \structurelistuservariable{author}\stop\space-- \crlf}% #1% title \doifnot{\rawstructurelistuservariable{subtitle}}{} {\crlf\structurelistuservariable{subtitle}}} \setuphead[section][ after=\setup{section}, align=center, number=no, style=\bold ] \startsetups section \blank \midaligned{\it \structureuservariable{author}} \blank\stopsetups %\foonote{\structureuservariable{affiliation}} \definenote[thanks]%[numberconversion=set 2]\setupnote[thanks][rule=off]\setupnotation[thanks][numberconversion=set 2] % or set 1 %\setupnote[footnote][location=bottom] % does not work %% all notes, footnotes etc.\setupnotation[ alternative={left,bottom}, hang=fit, % if commented, hanging is larger indenting={yes,small},indentnext=yes, % please, indent everything, should be default ] \setupinteraction[state=start,color=black,contrastcolor=black] \setuphead[subject][align=flushleft,style=\bfb] \starttext \subject{Grande lista de autores} \placecontent[alternative=c] \startsection[title={Whatever}][author={A.

Dynamic document variables from metadata
by Thangalin 02 Jan '22

02 Jan '22

Happy New Year! How would you implement a mechanism that takes arbitrary XHTML <meta> tags and produces document variables? Consider: <meta name="journal" content="Nature" /> After running XML setups, the following would write "Nature": \documentvariable{journal} The tricky part is doing this without pre-defining them. Here's a short, self-contained example to help demonstrate: \startbuffer[xdoc] <html> <head> <meta content="Milena Marić Einstein" name="author"/> <meta content="Annalen der Physik" name="journal"/> </head> <body> </body> </html>\stopbuffer \startxmlsetups xml:xhtml \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{*}{-} \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{html|body}{xml:*} \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{head}{xml:meta}\stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:xhtml} \startxmlsetups xml:html % "author" is a special setup, not generalized \xmlfilter{#1}{/head/meta[@name='author']/command(xml:author)} % What goes here to make this dynamic? %\xmlfilter{#1}{/head/meta[@name='journal']/command(xml:journal)} \xmlflush{#1}\stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:author \setupdocument[author={\xmlatt{#1}{content}}] \setupdocument[metadata:author={\xmlatt{#1}{content}}] \setupinteraction[author={\documentvariable{author}}]\stopxmlsetups % How can this be generalized?%\startxmlsetups xml:journal %\setupdocument[journal={\xmlatt{#1}{content}}]%\stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:body \startdocument Author: \documentvariable{author} \par Journal: \documentvariable{journal} \stopdocument\stopxmlsetups \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{xdoc}{} Thank you!

Dangerous bends symbol in manfnt.afm accidentally chopped by LMTX?

Hi list, using this example from the wiki, the dbend symbol appears cropped on the left side on my machine (ConTeXt ver: 2021.12.10 11:41 LMTX fmt: 2021.12.14), but not on the ConTeXt live server?

aligning Malayalam horizontally across column
by Ajith R 02 Jan '22

02 Jan '22

Hi, I am trying to prepare a moderate sized document in Malayalam using Context. Overall I have been successful. However, there are a few rough edges for which I need help. This is the second problem I face. I have some 300 group of short sentences placed in five columns using \startcolumns[n=5] \input aCharTable.tex \stopcolumns The aCharTex generated by a shell script contains the 300 plus commands with the structure \tfa{ \bold{variable} \par (12 - 0.13) } \blank The problems are that - a) the group, with the two short paras get separated into different columns and sometimes pages. How can I prevent that? In other words, how do I tell Context that this should be treated as cohesive unit? b) The horizontal space doesn't align across columns. This probably is because the different conjuncts in each of these lines have different heights. How can I ask Context to treat each of these cohesive units as having the same height? Thanks, ajith

Asking context to switch to a different font for a single character in many places
by Ajith R 02 Jan '22

02 Jan '22

Hi, I am trying to prepare a moderate sized document in Malayalam using Context. Overall I have been successful. However, there are a few rough edges for which I need help. This is the fifth problem I face. Is it possible to instruct Context to use a font in general, except for a single character? I want to show the space character with open box,␣ U+2423. However, the font doesn't have that character. The open box character shows up in many places within an otherwise Malayalam text. So, switching font is not possible. For the time being, I am using a substitution. However, I would like to know if it is possible. Thanks, ajith
