Sure, I will tomorrow create a transliteration to latin script and post diffs here.

A simple table lookup is enough. Going from latin to cyrillic, there are some exceptions, but we could solve that. I can provide Hans with all that is needed. Ivan

troubles with \enablemode
by Damien Thiriet 30 Oct '20

30 Oct '20

Hi @list, I don't fully understand the \enablemode mechanism. Given this MWE: \startmode[test] \setupframedtext [foregroundcolor=white,style={\tfa}] \stopmode \starttext \startframedtext ceci est un texte \stopframedtext \enablemode [test] \startframedtext ceci est un texte \stopframedtext \stoptext I cannot see the expected effect when I compile, that is both texts are in black. When I compile with context --mode=test both framed texts are in white, which is what I expect. What did I miss? Best regards, Damien Thiriet

Asymmetrical Column layout leads to an extra blank page
by Ramkumar KB 30 Oct '20

30 Oct '20

Hello All, I am new to this community and am really excited about the possibilities with ConTeXt. My question is related to the thread - https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg92767.html (the suggested solution did not work, unfortunately) After trying out various options, I am faced with these 2 (sub-optimal) choices - 1. Extra Blank page with Asymmetric Columns in the next page (with the \subject{} uncommented) 2. No Blank page with Symmetric Columns (with the \subject{} commented) 3. page=yes / no - does not work (same outcome as above) I am not sure the role of \section or \subject in this matter (seems to be somehow interfering with asymmetrical columnset). \usemodule[newcolumnsets] ... % \subject{} \definecolumnset[soi1][n=3, distance=3mm, page=yes] % \definecolumnset[currency][n=3, page=yes] \setupcolumnset[soi1:1][width=.25\makeupwidth] \setupcolumnset[soi1:2][width=.30\makeupwidth] \setupcolumnset[soi1:3][width=.45\makeupwidth] Any tips, help or pointers would be greatly appreciated. If not for columnset, is there any other way to get this type of layout? Thank you,

Line numbering skips lines
by Felix Krause 30 Oct '20

30 Oct '20

Hi all, in a typing environment, I have the problem that not every line is numbered: \definetyping [code] [numbering=line, escape={@[,@]}] \setupcolors[state=start] \definecolor[nonsigpart][r=.7,g=.7,b=.7] \defineframed[nonsig] [location=low,frame=off,background=color,backgroundcolor=nonsigpart] \starttext \startcode lorem ipsum @[ @] @[foo@] @[\nonsig{bar}@] dolor sit amet \stopcode \stoptext This will number * the first and last lines, containing normal text * the third line containing nothing at all * the forth line containing `foo` inside an escape sequence It will skip * the second line containing a space character inside an escape sequence * the fifth line which produces text with a gray background Why does it skip those lines? This seems really strange as a completely empty line does get numbered. How can I number every line? Regards, Felix

how to set overprint
by Jano Kula 30 Oct '20

30 Oct '20

Hello, whatever I try, I cannot get the overprinting right (checked in Output Preview of Acrobat). Even overprint-001.tex from the test suite (2020-09-19) doesn't seem to have it right (latest beta). What I'm missing here? \setupcolors[intent=overprint] \startTEXpage[offset=10mm] \framed[frame=on,offset=10mm, background=color,backgroundcolor=darkgreen]{ % \startcolorintent[overprint] \startoverprint text in black \stopoverprint % \stopcolorintent } \stopTEXpage Thank you, Jano

invoking ConTeXt from .bat file in Win7
by Pablo Rodriguez 28 Oct '20

28 Oct '20

Dear list, I have the following sample: \mainlanguage[es] \setupbodyfont[dejavu] \starttext %~ \startmode[*last] \startluacode io.write("¿Cuál es el mensaje? ") document.message = io.read() \stopluacode %~ \stopmode El mensaje es: \cldcontext{document.message} \stoptext I have two questions about it. How can I invoke an extra run (as mentioned at http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/mmodes.pdf#search=last) to be able to use the *last mode in the code above? The other question is that the sample above works fine in Linux. I guess macOS would be also fine. But in Windows (Win7 in my case), I get garbage for "¿". "chcp 65001" in the .bat file doesn’t make any difference. How can I get non-ASCII chars displayed right? (Echoing UTF-8 characters in the same batch file works perfectly right.) Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Which version of MkIV should we use?
by Rik Kabel 28 Oct '20

28 Oct '20

Hello all, I have noticed some differences between the MkIV installed as part of LMTX and the MkIV installed via first-setup. Which should be used going forward when one wants to use MkIV? (One difference: \contextkind is defined in file context.mkiv installed via first-setup. It is not defined in the file of the same name installed as part of LMTX. Another, more significant difference, is loading modules.) -- Rik
