indentnext option for \setuplanguage?
by Pablo Rodriguez 23 Jul '20

23 Jul '20

Hans, as Garulfo mentioned in a previous message (https://mailman.ntg.nl’t /pipermail/ntg-context/2020/098826.html), French may require that all paragraphs are indented (no matter what comes before the paragraph). Spanish also requires that. How about a key for "indentnext" in \setuplanguage? That makes it easier to have documents that require all "indentnext" keys set to "yes". I don’t mean changing the default behaviour for any language. Could the "indentext" option be added to \setuplanguage? Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

\insertpages and remote file
by Pablo Rodriguez 23 Jul '20

23 Jul '20

Dear list, I have the following sample: \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext \insertpages [https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EL/TXT% /PDF/?uri=CELEX:32015D0022] [width=0pt] \attachment[file=https://eur-lex.europa.eu/% legal-content/EL/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32015D0022] \attachment[https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/% EL/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32015D0022] \stoptext The docuemnt may be attached to the PDF document, but pages cannot be inserted to generate a booklet. Attachment doesn’t work either when the "file" key is removed (see second one. Would it be possible that \insertpages and \filterpages could deal with these urls? Or what am I missing here? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

context --engine=luatex not working
by Jairo A. del Rio 23 Jul '20

Hi list! Is --engine=luatex working? Has it changed? The switch seems to be ignored with newer ConTeXt distributions, so only LuaMetaTeX is used. Thank you in advance. Jairo :)

--silent and so on
by thierry horsin 23 Jul '20

23 Jul '20

Hi everybody I am a current context user since now many years and in particular I use it on linux with automatic compilation with a bash script detecting any modifications of the .tex file. In order for this to work I used with previous versions the "--nonstopmode --batchmode --silent --noconsole" compilation options. With these options with a new error in the .tex files with old versions of mkiv the previous pdf produced was not changed. Now with lmtx, appears a single page pdf file with ERROR written on it. Are there compulations options with lmtx in order to have something similar as before ? Any ideas ? Thanks

Fill an area defined by a subpath (Metafun)

Hello, I have a little problem with coloring an area (path b). Thanks for your help. Fabrice \starttext \startMPcode path circle, p, q, b; circle = fullcircle xscaled 6cm yscaled 3.5cm; p = (point 2 of circle ..

Using variables and macros for styling of section title and line in table of contents
by James Withers 22 Jul '20

22 Jul '20

Dear list I have a document with section headings which include a title, date and reference spread over two lines with different font style and justification, plus a slightly different text for the table of contents. So that I can alter the styling of the section headings without having to recode each \startsection command, I have used variables and a macro command for the style. This works for section 'title' and 'marking', but not for the 'list' attribute. The minimal working example below shows what I'm trying to do. Best wishes and many thanks in advance. James \define\mytitle{\getvariable{myvar}{title}\crlf{\tfx\getvariable{myvar}{date}\hfill\getvariable{myvar}{ref}}} \define\mylist{\getvariable{myvar}{list}---{\bf \getvariable{myvar}{date}}} \starttext \completecontent \setvariables[myvar][ title={What I would like}, date={2020}, ref={Reference No 1}, list={Variation on title}, ] \startsection[title=\mytitle,list={Variation on title---{\bf 2020}}] Contents line to look like this: \mylist \stopsection \setvariables[myvar][ title={What I get}, date={2021}, ref={Reference No 2}, list={Something for the contents}, ] \startsection[title=\mytitle,list=\mylist] Contents line to look like this: \mylist \stopsection \stoptext <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> Virus-free. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>

No inverse Search when using \usepath
by Gerhard Schramm 22 Jul '20

22 Jul '20

Hello List, Greetings to all members! This is my first post here... Relatively new in Context, I've loved it since the first minute! I write technical manuals with Context. Some chapters of the manuals are depending on the type of the machine which are described in the manual. I try to use \usepath to load the right texfile from different folders. My variable for searching the correct folder is \machinename. \machinename is set before compiling The folders are: /MakeText/Ang/machineA/techdaten/Ang_techdaten.tex /MakeText/Ang/machineB/techdaten/Ang_techdaten.tex ... /MakeText/Ang/machineX/techdaten/Ang_techdaten.tex Tex example: \usepath[/MakeText/Ang/\machinename/] .... \input /techdaten/Ang_techdaten.tex \input /otherfolder/otherfile.tex \input... I can compile and I get a nice PDF, but the inverse search is not possible. (I use Sumatra and Notepad++) NPP only looks at the path after \input... /techdaten/Ang_techdaten.tex Do any of you know a workaround for this? Is \usepath the suited command? Thank you in advance! Gerhard

Bug in latest LMTX
by Otared Kavian 22 Jul '20

22 Jul '20

Hi Hans, It seems that \cap is not anymore defined in the latest LMTX: the following gives an error \starttext $A \cap B$ \stoptext with current version: 2020.07.21 18:39. Also, I would like to place a request about the reporting of errors: can we get back the nice reporting of errors we had a few months ago? Indeed while a few months ago the reporting of errors was extremeley clear and helpful, now one gets a cryptic message like this in the html file produced: Error ! Missing } inserted File chapitre-1.tex Line 834 Of course there is no missing } error in that file and that line, and one has to spend a lot of time to find what the error would be. In this case I could guess that the error comes from the fact that \cap is not defined, but it wasn't easy (the file used to typeset correctly with version 2020.07.13, and it typesets correctly with mkiv). In eralier versions, ConTeXt would tell the user undefined control sequence \cap and one could fix things very quickly. Best regards, and please pardon my early morning request… Otared

But in Acrobat DC, no character is displayed. Could anyone confirm the issues with current latest? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
