Fine tuning an index
by Duncan Hothersall 09 Oct '20

09 Oct '20

I'm doing my first mkiv index (it took me a long time to upgrade from mkii!) and I really like the processor feature to format elements differently. But there are a couple of things I would really like to achieve that I'm struggling with: 1. Elided numbers in an index range entry. For example if I have a \startregister - \stopregister pair resulting in an index entry like entry 354--356 I would like to be able to make this read entry 354--6 There are different conventions for number span elision but usually teens aren't elided so entry 314--316 would become entry 314-16. It strikes me that if I could set up a processor specifically for page number ranges I could possibly write a macro to do elision; but I don't think that's currently possible? Maybe it's possible in lua to write code which both identifies range page numbers and carries out the elision. I'm not quite sure where to start. 2. Fine tuning column and page breaking in an index. This is tricky, because there are usually very few "good" places to break an index, and automatic breaking seems to alter slightly depending on whether interactions are set up or not, but is there a way to manually insert a column or page break into the register before or after a certain entry, the way there is for a table of contents? Sorry for no MWE, for obvious reasons. Any pointers to what might be able to be done on these would be much appreciated. Thanks. Duncan

Hyperref-style borders around clickable links
by Denis Maier 08 Oct '20

08 Oct '20

Hi, I prefer links to be styled as normal text, but I'd nevertheless to highlight them somehow on screen. The LaTeX package Hyperref adds red frames to clickable content. Is something like that possible with ConTeXt? Best, Denis

Split Table, don't repeat caption
by Denis Maier 08 Oct '20

08 Oct '20

Hi, is there a way not to repeat the caption of a multipage natural table? I've searched the list archive and it looks the question came up a couple of times, but I couldn't find an answer. Also, if I add a footnote to a caption of a split table, this note always appears when the caption appears for the last time. Can that be changed? Best, Denis

Disappearing characters with nolig-german-wordlist
by Denis Maier 08 Oct '20

08 Oct '20

Hi, I do as adviced on the Wiki and input the nolig-german-wordlist.tex to suppress wrong ligatures. However, I'm seeing strange results: ``` \input nolig-german-wordlist.tex \starttext auffasste auffasse \stoptext ``` gives me "auffasse auffasse" (see attachment.) I don't really understand what is happening here. Why is the t disappearing. ``` \replaceword[eka][auffasse][au{ff}asse] \replaceword[eka][auffasste][au{ff}asste] \setreplacements[eka] \starttext auffasste auffasse \stoptext ``` This example gives correct results.

playing with Windows drag & drop
by Pablo Rodriguez 08 Oct '20

08 Oct '20

Dear list, I have a minimal sample file: \starttext \insertpages[\env{PDFdocument}] \stoptext I invoke it in Windows, using the following batch file: @echo off REM ~ context --purgeall --arguments="PDFdocument=%1" b.tex I’m afraid it only works if the batch file and the PDF document are on the same directory. I guess this is related to "\" in Windows paths. Is there a way to make it work with the sample above? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Sections in content: macros v text
by Tomas Hala 07 Oct '20

07 Oct '20

Hi all, the content generated by the MWE below contains 1 bb ... 1 2 bb ... 1 instead of 1 aa ... 1 2 bb ... 1 because the content structure refers to the macro name \name in both sections instead of to work with the text. Maybe it was already discussed by I am not able to find any solution how to send the text "aa" to the content in this case. Thanks in advance for any hint. Best wishes, Tomáš MWE (TL2020): \starttext \define\name{aa} \startsection[title=\name,list=\name] \stopsection \define\name{bb} \startsection[title=\name,list=\name] \stopsection \completecontent \stoptext

xml bookmarks
by Jano Kula 07 Oct '20

07 Oct '20

Hello to everybody! I have a similar problem as Tomas two days ago. When inserting bookmarks from XML the reference to the node is stored in TUC file ["titledata"]={ ["label"]="section", ["title"]="\\xmlatt {xml:name::4}{title}" and this reference ends up in bookmarks. Any advice on how to change it to text in bookmarks? Find attached MWE (mkiv, current beta), third section is inserted manually. Thank you, Jano

wrong url border (LMTX only)
by Pablo Rodriguez 07 Oct '20

07 Oct '20

Dear list, I have the following sample: \setupinteraction[state=start] \enabledirectives[references.border] \definemakeup[slide] \define[1]\newurl{\goto{\tt\hyphenatedurl{#1}}[url(#1)]} \starttext \startmakeup[slide]\newurl{a}\stopmakeup \stoptext LMTX (latest from LuaTeX 2.07 20200920 + ConTeXt MkIV 2020.09.20 23:02) generates a link border that goes to the end of the text width. I have found this issue not only with makeups. Also some footnotes in my documents, but I couldn’t provide a minimal sample that displays the problem with those. Could anyone confirm this issue? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

URLs in XML, escaping special characters
by Denis Maier 07 Oct '20

07 Oct '20

Hi, I'm struggling with getting hyphenated URLs to work from XML input. How do you enter ampersands and percent signs correctly so that they can be used in links? This here doesn't really works: ================ \startxmlsetups xml:test \xmlsetsetup{#1}{*}{-} % Hauptgruppen \xmlsetsetup{#1}{article|ext-link}{xml:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:test} \startxmlsetups xml:article \starttext \xmlflush{#1} \stoptext \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:ext-link \goto{\hyphenatedurl{\xmlflush{#1}}}[url(\xmlflush{#1})] \stopxmlsetups \startbuffer[test] <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <article> <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://merhav.nli.org.il/primo-explore/search?query=any,contains,Glikl&…">http://merhav.nli.org.il/primo-explore/search?query=any,contains,Glikl&…</ext-link> </article> \stopbuffer \xmlprocessbuffer{test}{test}{} ============= Visual output is ok, but the clickable link contains only the text until the end of the line. Best, Denis
