register for biblical citations
by jbf 17 Apr '21

17 Apr '21

I am wondering if anyone has had to set up a register (index) for biblical citations, where the order is not alphabetical but the order of the biblical books themselves, so, for example, citations from Genesis (e.g. Gen 1:1; Gen 6:4; Ex 15:2; Deut 12:8 etc. etc). I am not at all sure how to achieve this. Julian

autopdf on MacOS?
by Hans van der Meer 16 Apr '21

16 Apr '21

When running the command: context --autopdf --run myfile.tex I had hoped the pdfviewer Preview on my MacOS system (version Catalina) would open the pdf for viewing. Allthough a new pdf is created, this is not opened. If the pdf is open in Preview already, it is not updated unless switching to the Preview application. It something wrong here? Is it not functional in MacOS? Am I missing some clue? met vriendelijke groet dr. Hans van der Meer

lmtx goodies
by Hans Hagen 15 Apr '21

15 Apr '21

Hi, I'm checking out some old experiments (either use or drop 'm) and here's one that made it into lmtx in the end (not much code). We have a bunch of arrays in the engine: \uccode, \lccode, \sfcode, \efcode, catcodes etc and while traditional tex just has 256 slot arrays in luatex these are sparse: it saves memory because often these lists cover a small range of unicode. Because this is kind of a general mechanism, I've added a lua interface to 'user sparse arrays' shown in the following examples (they can be 1, 2 or 4 bytes numbers): \setuplayout[tight] \setupbodyfont[tt,10pt] \starttext \startluacode local d = io.loaddata(resolvers.findfile("tufte.tex")) local a = sparse.new() for v in string.utfvalues(d) do -- sparse.set(a,v,sparse.get(a,v)+1) a[v] = a[v] + 1 end for i, v in sparse.traverse(a) do if i > 32 and v > 0 then context("%03i %U\\crlf",i,i) end end \stopluacode \blank \startluacode local a = { } local y = string.byte("1") local n = string.byte("0") for i=1,20 do a[i] = sparse.new(1,n) -- bytes (1|2|4) | default end for i=8,15 do local ai = a[i] for j=10,15 do -- sparse.set(ai,j,y) ai[j] = y end end for i=1,20 do a[i] = sparse.concat(a[i],1,20) end context(table.concat(a,"\\crlf")) \stopluacode \blank \codedef\mycode { \mycode 999 = 123} 000 = \the\mycode999\par {\global\mycode 999 = 124} 124 = \the\mycode999\par { \mycode 999 = 125} 124 = \the\mycode999\par \stoptext Often using a lua array or hash is more efficient, but when you allocate many real large sets the sparse arrays might win. I can add more options at the tex end, like wipe, concat, prealloc, save, load, always global etc. but that depends on expected usage of which I have no clue (but as usual with tex features, at some point they will be used in unexpected ways).

Sudoku module
by Jairo A. del Rio 12 Apr '21

12 Apr '21

Hi, list! I've just finished a minimal module for sudoku puzzles based on Peter Norvig's algorithm. The module and examples are in the link below: https://github.com/JairoAdelRio/context-sudoku My port is a sorta literal translation of Python's version, so improvements are to be done. As always, I'm having trouble passing color data from TeX to Lua so that sudokus have more customizable aesthetics. I'll gladly accept any feedback and recommendations before I submit the module to the Garden. Thank you very much. Stay safe. Jairo

Set luatex cache directory path

Peter Münster once asked: > What should I do please, to prevent ConTeXt from creating $HOME/luatex-cache? I'd like to do the same: $ cd $HOME $ ls luatex-cache ls: cannot access 'luatex-cache': No such file or directory $ context test.tex $ ls luatex-cache/ context $ rm -rf luatex-cache $ export TEXMFCACHE=/tmp $ context test.tex mtxrun | unknown script 'mtx-context.lua' or 'mtx-mtx-context.lua' $ export TEXMFCACHE= $ context --version ... mtx-context | current version: 2021.03.31 18:04 What environment variable must change to set the luatex-cache directory? Thank you!

Arabic place names
by jbf 11 Apr '21

11 Apr '21

I have a lengthy text in English which occasionally uses Arabic place names in brackets, e.g. Khàbab ( خبب )is a Syrian town 50 km south of Damascus The text is copy-pasted from a Word file, so I do not have to type the Arabic as such, and would not know how to do that anyway. Since I never usually have to work with Arabic script (though I do have a font installed and recognised by ConTeXt (with the usual mtxrun commands) I am not sure how to achieve this. There might be just half a dozen of these place names involved in a text of some 300 pages worth. The font, BTW is Arslan Wessam A.ttf My humble attempt: I did the following in my preamble: \definefallbackfamily [mainface] [sans] [aarslanwessama] [range=arabic] The rest of the [mainface] setups are obviously western fonts. But the fallbackfamily approach did nothing to help. I also tried: Khàbab {\switchtobodyfont[aarslanwessama](خبب)} is a Syrian town 50 km south of Damascus... but that did nothing either. Am quite out of my depth with this one so any help would be appreciated. Julian
