request for talk/article on writing modules
by Henning Hraban Ramm 22 Jul '24

22 Jul '24

Hi wizards, I’d really appreciate an introduction “how to write a ConTeXt module” at the meeting and in the next journal. * How does this namespace and setup stuff work? * When does it make sense to use variables, macros or parameters? * Should I use the namespace for internally used MP graphics, environments, buffers etc.? I guess I can figure out most of it on my own, but I think we should have some easily understandable documentation. Or do we already have something and I didn’t find it? I can contribute the part about distribution. Best, Hraban

How to create a second bibliography?
by Joel 22 Jul '24

22 Jul '24

My copy editor wants me to create a second bibliography for photo/illustration references. I'm using basic code to make a bibliography: \usemodule[publ-imp-sbl] \usebtxdataset[default][~/Commons/sources.bib] \setupbtx[dataset=default] \usebtxdefinitions[sbl] \setupbtx[sbl] \starttext \input knuth \cite[authoryear] \startchapter[title=Bibliography] \placelistofpublications \stopchapter\stoptext I know how to create custom lists and indexes, but not a bibliography list. How do I point the image references to go to a different list, but still its a bibliography? \startchapter[title=Image Credits] \placelistofcredits \stopchapter --Joel

spreadsheet module
by Henning Hraban Ramm 20 Jul '24

20 Jul '24

Hi, I checked the spreadsheet module for the first time (in my own invoices I do everything in Lua and don’t need it). In the attached example, I setup a decimal comma, as usual in German: \setupspreadsheet[rechnung][ period={,}, comma={\,}, split=yes] Unfortunately, this also replaces all dots in the text strings. Is there a workaround (beside using \getspr in a “real” table)? Apparently, \startrow or \startcell don’t understand the period setting. Hraban

Anyone working on a treesitter grammar?
by juh+ntg-context＠mailbox.org 20 Jul '24

20 Jul '24

Dear all, no mention here https://tree-sitter.github.io/tree-sitter/ and searching for treesitter on the Wiki gives no match? Many texteditors have treesitter support builtin so having a ConTeXt grammar would be nice. TIA juh

list of used files
by Henning Hraban Ramm 20 Jul '24

20 Jul '24

Hi, is there some mechanism (directive?) that gives me a list of files that were involved in making a PDF? Preferably only those outside of the texmf trees, but I could filter that myself. (With "latexmk -recorder somelatexfile" I get the file list as a .fls file.) My goal is to commit all used images to my git repo, while I often have a big collection of images that I didn’t use in the end and don’t need in the repo. Hraban

expansion and variables
by Henning Hraban Ramm 17 Jul '24

17 Jul '24

Something’s wrong with my code. I’ll try to keep a status to output a certain marker only the first time after a change. With the code below I get it never. I guess it’s an expansion problem again, but I didn’t find the right places for \expanded – if I use it in front of every \getvariable, I get the output every time. Please help… Hraban \setvariable{Thing}{Status}{1} \setvariable{Thing}{PreviousStatus}{0} \define[1]\startThing{ \setvariable{Thing}{PreviousStatus}{\getvariable{Thing}{Status}} \setvariable{Thing}{Status}{#1} <<< % \doifnot{\getvariable{Thing}{Status}}{\getvariable{Thing}{PreviousStatus}}{% \bold{\getvariable{Thing}{Status}}% }% } \def\stopThing{>>>\par} \starttext \startThing{A} a \stopThing \startThing{B} b \stopThing \startThing{A} c \stopThing \startThing{C} d \stopThing \startThing{C} e \stopThing \startThing{A} f \stopThing \startThing{A} g \stopThing \startThing{A} h \stopThing \stoptext
