typing+framedtext: different behaviour between TL2017 and 2019
by Tomas Hala 17 Jan '20

17 Jan '20

Hi all, if I compile the following (minimised) code with ConTeXt from TL2017, I receive expected result -- one framed gray box with correct width. \starttext\showframe \defineframedtext[MPT][background=color,backgroundcolor=gray,width=\makeupwidth,frame=on,offset=1cc,] \setuptyping[MP][before={\startMPT},after={\stopMPT},] \startMP bla \stopMP \stoptext Now I tried it with ConTeXt from TL2019 (TL2018 produces the same result as TL2019) and I have got _two_ boxes -- the outer one is correct and frames the typing environment as in the past whereas the new box frames the text inside the typing. Unfortunately, both boxes seems to be controlled by the \defineframedtext[MPT] which caused that the inner box runs outside the typesetting area, i.e. the left offset value is applied twice. I found out that it is related with the given name MP. Therefore, I renamed it to another name (it was ok) but after adding "option=mp" I came across the same problem. Is there any way how to define behaviour of both boxes in the existing \startMP environment apart? Or is it not possible? Best wishes, Tomáš

Epub export css buglets
by Rik Kabel 17 Jan '20

17 Jan '20

A couple of small issues with the css for epub output. First, back-exp.lua creates, in \jobname-styles.css @namespace context url('%namespace%') ; This should probably be: @namespace context url('http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/export') ; That file also has: document, %namespace%div.document { font-size : %size% !important ; max-width : %width% !important ; text-width : %align% !important ; hyphens : %hyphens% !important ; } which contains the invalid css property text-width. Perhaps that should be text-align or text-justify. Something else appears to be creating, in \jobname-defaults.css: pubfld[detail="title"], div.pubfld.title { display : inline ; font-weight : italic ; } which incorrectly assigns italic to font-weight when of course it is a font-style as far as css is concerned. This can be seen in file export-example.css in the distribution. -- Rik

Your font setup should be good without trying to load that module (that doesn’t do anything anymore anyway). Just \mainlanguage[es] and \language[agr] (= \agr) where you need it should be enough. You can’t expect ConTeXt to auto-detect your language, even if that maybe would work for Greek. (My texts are usually in German, thus I have \mainlanguage[de] and use \en or \fr to markup foreign quotes. Correct me if I miss something. > When you mark your Greek passages with {\agr ἡ Ἑλληνικὴ γλῶσσα} (or \language[agr] instead of \agr), you should get the right pattern without that setup. > > The module simplefonts is obsolete since 2013. > > Greetlings, Hraban > --- > https://www.fiee.net > http://wiki.contextgarden.net > https://www.dreiviertelhaus.de > GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD

Historic ligatures with lucidaot
by Otared Kavian 16 Jan '20

16 Jan '20

Hi all, How can I add the so-called « historic ligatures », such as in st, ct, to a font (assuming it has that feature)? For instance \setupbodyfont[lucidaot] \starttext construction \stoptext does not show the historic ligature in « st » and in « ct »: how can I get them? Best regards: OK

Hi, Thanks for "language-context”. > >> what are the key shortcuts to compile the context file at hand? >> i try the atom editor on Linux platform. >> Can't find the way to feed the tex file into context luatex... > > There are no key shortcuts. I use a terminal. > As I wrote: > >> So there’s no run command or something like Atom-LaTeX > When I use Atom for ConTeXt, I use the package,”process palette” in which commands and a key shortcut are defined. By pressing the defined key-shortcut, terminal will do the job as Hraban said. Best regards, Dalyoung

Impacts Project: Two-Page Spread
by Thangalin 15 Jan '20

15 Jan '20

Hi all! Pleased to share with you a new two-page spread of the Impacts project: https://impacts.to/downloads/lowres/impacts-dual.pdf Best viewed in "Dual" (or "Even Spreads") mode. Compare with the original single-page spread: https://impacts.to/downloads/lowres/impacts.pdf If you'd like a hard-copy, please sign up at: https://impacts.to/ The document is written in pandoc-flavoured markdown. ConTeXt, TeX, and Lua code are used to accomplish various stylish feats: * Page setup (bleed, margins, text safe zones) * Override page flushing for columnsets * Timeline indicator line based on section heading numeric text value * Lua converts annotated Markdown to an inline image ConTeXt macro * Clipped background images for pixel-perfect two-page spread * Custom global counter to enumerate illustrations in TeX Annotations will be explained in Part 8 of the Typesetting Markdown series: https://dave.autonoma.ca/blog/ Feedback on any of this is very welcome and, again, thank you for all the support over the years. Cheers!

fancy chapter setup
by Henning Hraban Ramm 13 Jan '20

13 Jan '20

Hi all, I’m trying to setup a book layout where each chapter begins with a quote and an image on the left page, followed by title and text start on the right page. While the quote & image thing works, I can’t get the title on the right page, ConTeXt always puts it right of the image, even if that’s as wide as the text width. \page[right] doesn’t do anything. Where’s my mistake? There are also chapters without that intro, therefore I use \doifnot{\structureuservariable{subtitle}}, but those should also start on a right page. I could also use a different section name. But I don’t think that’s the problem. (The page number should appear on the right page; it wouldn’t hurt on the left page, but the chapter title should only appear on following pages.) Best, Hraban %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \define[2]\FancyChapter{% \doifnot{\structureuservariable{subtitle}}{}{% \startstandardmakeup \framed[ width=\textwidth,height=fit, offset=overlay, align=flushleft, ]{% \definedfont[SerifItalic at 16pt] \structureuservariable{subtitle}% } \framed[width=\textwidth]{% \externalfigure[dummy][width=\textwidth]% } %\hfill\vfill\strut % doesn’t help \stopstandardmakeup } \page[right] % \framed[ width=\textwidth, offset=overlay, align=flushleft, ]{% \definedfont[Sans at 32pt]%#2 \structurevariable{title}% }% } \setupheadertexts[][pagenumber][pagenumber][chapter] \setuphead[chapter][ page=left, number=no, header=high, command=\FancyChapter, ] \starttext \startchapter[title={My Normal Text}] \input knuth \stopchapter \startchapter[title={My Fancy Story}] [subtitle={\quotation{I thought that was real.}}] \input tufte \stopchapter \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

BUG: module loading is broken
by Henri Menke 13 Jan '20

13 Jan '20

Dear Hans, Recent updates to ConTeXt broke my CV. This MWE \usemodule[letter] \starttext \stoptext fails with ...texmf-modules/tex/context/third/letter/base/s-cor-00.lua:88: attempt to call a nil value (field 'uselibrary') Here are the steps by which I can reproduce on my machine: rm -rf /opt/context/tex/texmf-cache mtxrun --generate context --make context test.mkvi Same for LMTX. Cheers, Henri

luametatex segmentation fault
by Ramón Casares 12 Jan '20

12 Jan '20

Hi list, I am new to LMTX, so before going any further I wanted to compile my plain TeX documents with LMTX. I am aware that LMTX is experimental, so perhaps what I am doing is impossible for the moment or worse, it is not even in your plans. In any case, this is how I got a segmentation fault when I was trying to make the plain format for LMTX in my Debian 10 Buster OS on linux-64 PC. <pre> $ cd ~/context/ $ ./install.sh $ ~/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/luametatex --ini lmtx.tex This is LuaMetaTeX, Version 2.03.7 (INITEX) Segmentation fault $ cd ~/context/tex/texmf-cache $ rm -R * $ cd ~/context/ $ ~/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/mtxrun --generate $ ~/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/context --make $ ~/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/luametatex --ini lmtx.tex This is LuaMetaTeX, Version 2.03.7 (INITEX) Segmentation fault $ ~/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/luametatex --ini plain.tex This is LuaMetaTeX, Version 2.03.7 (INITEX) Segmentation fault $ cat $(~/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/mtxrun --locate lmtx.tex) \input plain \directlua {tex.enableprimitives('', tex.extraprimitives())} \pdfoutput=1 \everyjob \expandafter {% \the\everyjob \input luatex-basics.tex\relax \input luatex-fonts.tex\relax \input luatex-mplib.tex\relax } \edef\fmtversion{\fmtversion+lmtx} </pre> Best regards, Ramón Casares
