What is the meaning of `\start`

Hi, in some examples I have found `\start` and `\stop`. What are they exactly? Just like `\begingroup` `\endgroup`? Or is there something else? Best, Denis

Dear Fabrice, I run your code using ConTeXt LMTX and got the figure. (LuaMetaTeX 2.00, ConTeXt version: 2019.11.14.) I don’t know why you have errors.

Hello, I have a little trouble with the management of transparency : the colors are not respected. Thank you.

I think that i found the reason so i'll do a new upload later. There have been a few (not that large) changes in the engine wrr to (1) font memory used at the tex end (not dramatic but for huge fonts it matters), (2) some (potential) improvements of hz and protrusion (removing dead code and improving directional awareness) and (3) normalzation of node lists (very experimental but won't kick in normally).

Anyone? After updating LMTX to the latest version 2019.11.28, context stopped working, only to produce core dumps ... Any hints as how to resolve this?

Fwd: Re: Spurious newlines at beginning of startstop pair
by denis.maier.lists＠mailbox.org 29 Nov '19

Hans, thanks for your answer. But two questions: First: Am I right to assume that the important part is `\GetPar`. The rest is syntactic sugar to make to code more ConTeXt-like, right? Second: For some reasons I have not received your message. It wasn't in the Spam folder and I usually receive mails from the list. Any ideas? Are there some known problems?

Watchmode

Hi, is there a watchmode for ConTeXt? So that I can it once and ConTeXt will re-typeset a file once there are changes? Best, Denis

Abstracting styles
by Juraj Fiala 28 Nov '19

28 Nov '19

Hi, I’m trying to learn ConTeXt, but I’m discovering a few hurdles along the way. Essentially what I currently want to do is to emulate paragraph styles found in other software, e.g. Scribus. After several hours of research all I have in my head is a complete mess of conflicting approaches, so I’d like to get some sane present-day advice. :-) Say I wanted to achieve this (as a rough example, the point is mixing weights and OpenType features in different contexts): Heading 1: Source Serif Semibold, smcp=yes, 12% letter-spacing Heading 2: Source Serif Semibold Emphasis: Source Serif Regular, smcp=yes, 8% letter-spacing What is the most straightforward way should I load the fonts and set the ‘styles’? Thanks!
