Sectionwise page range in ConTeXt TOC
by Jairo A. del Rio 12 Oct '19

12 Oct '19

I know ConTeXt TOC is quite customizable. However, I don't figure out how to include a page range next to section labels. For instance, something like that: 1. Chapter . . . 1 - 4 1.1 Section . . . 1 - 3 1.2 Section . . . 3 - 4 2. Chapter . . . 4 - 7 I've seen a LaTeX implementation here: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/145206 Is something similar (or maybe better) possible? Thanks in advance.

Re: [NTG-context] new (lmtx) beta

Dear Hans, I read the manual of luametafun and do some examples. Thanks for many new features. It is really great. I’d like to ask two things. 1. On page 26,27, in the manual, > > http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/luametafun.pdf <http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/luametafun.pdf> a function name of the graphics are appeared as same as in the argument ‘function = “x^2 + y^2”’. Though it calculates function using “x^2 + y^2”, it is better to write the name of it as the output of $x^2 + y^2$. Is it possible to write it as in mathematical form? 2. To define a mathematical function, it uses “function = “ in Contour, while it uses “code = “ in Surfaces and in Functions. Is there any reason to use two different names “function” and “code” to define functions? Thank you again. Best regards, Dalyoung

Difference in right justification in LMTX
by Joseph Canedo 11 Oct '19

11 Oct '19

Dear list. Given the following MWE (could not reproduce with smaller example). \setuppapersize[A5][A5] \definefontfeature[base][mode=node, protrusion=quality, expansion=quality] \definefontfamily[mainfont][serif][EBGaramond][features=base] \setupalign[hanging, lesshyphenation, hz] \setupbodyfont[mainfont, 9pt] \showframe \starttext les bestes/ & sus toute la terre/ & sus tout reptile qui bouge sur surete sur la {\righttoleft terre. Dieu} donc crea l'homme a son image. \stoptext I notice that LMTX seems to add some small gap at right margin in the 1st typeset line. I attach the pdf I get with luatex and lmtx. The showframe directive makes it more visible. Joseph

List of Symbols/Abbreviations/Glosses with more then two entries
by Thomas Welter 11 Oct '19

11 Oct '19

The synonym "sym" defined by \definesynonyms[sym][syms][\symdesc] can take 2 entries by default: \sym[<RefName>]{<ShortName>}{<LongName>} For theses and whitepapers in the natural sciences and in engineering it is needed to introduce another entry for the unit: \sym[<RefName>]{<ShortName>}{<Unit>}{<LongName>} (<-- This does of course not compile, take it as a feature request) e.g. \sym[Salpha]{\alpha\ }{$[W~m^{-2}~K^{-1}]$}{Heat Transfer Coefficient} where \sym[Salpha]{\alpha\ }{$[W~m^{-2}~K^{-1}]$ Heat Transfer Coefficient} cannot be a good workaround since \symdesc{Salpha} should not include the unit. And of course I want the unit entry to be in a separate column when calling \placelistofsynonyms[sym] In LaTeX I accomplished this with glossaries and glossary-mcols. Is there some neat trick to get this behaviour "the ConTeXt way" (maybe with some Lua + *.aux)? The next step would be to define the table headers of the list of symbols such as "Symbol \NC Unit \NC Description"... Thanks in advance and kind regards, Thomas

space between headings
by Pablo Rodriguez 11 Oct '19

11 Oct '19

Dear list, I have the following sample: \showframe\showgrid \starttext \section{Section} \subsection{Subsection} A sentence. \section{Section} Another sentence. \subsection{Subsection} Even another sentence. \stoptext Is there any way to setup the space after of \section when it is followed by another heading? I mean, is there no way to decrease the space between two headings? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

(bug?) no destinations for footnote links in LMTX
by Pablo Rodriguez 11 Oct '19

11 Oct '19

Hi Hans, I have the following sample: \setupinteraction[state=start, focus=standard] \starttext a\footnote{b} \stoptext I’m afraid that LMTX doesn’t generate a link to go back from footnote. All I can see is that MkIV generates two named destinations: << /D [ 5 0 R /XYZ 61.65861 129.0214 null ] >> << /D [ 5 0 R /XYZ 76.72182 722.72927 null ] >> But I’m afraid that LMTX generates only one: << /D [ 5 0 R /XYZ 61.65861 129.0214 null ] >> Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

new beta
by Hans Hagen 11 Oct '19

11 Oct '19

Hi, I uploaded a new beta. Some might have noticed that stepwise some font support has been redone. We're talking of lmtx only here. For instance low level handling of color fonts as used for emoji but there are also other (often incomplete) fonts out there (overlay, png, svg) has become (on the average) a bit more efficient. It's somewhat tricky to satisfy viewers but at my end things work ok. It should also work in a cmyk only mode. As usual it's work in progress (and in this case very likely lmtx only). Also some first (runtime) metafun (2) font creation support has been added (was always possible but it's a bit more convenient now). An example can be found in: meta-imp-gamesymbols.mkxl (the file can be processed with the 'context' command and will produce an example). As usual imagination determines the limits of what context provides, so feel free to suggest more (examples). Again this is lmtx specific.

Documentation of change / Evolving documents
by Axel Kielhorn 11 Oct '19

11 Oct '19

Hi, I often have documents that are not finished but need to change over time. A client changes their mind, laws are changed, … While working with the document, I want to see the changes. When the document is finally finished, I only want to see the change history. I came up with the following. When the mode is „change“ the date (or version) is shown in the margin and the change is printed in red. Without mode „change“ only the change history is printed. What I want now is to change the layout of the register. Adding some vspace around the date and printing the date in bold. Is there a way to achieve this or am I on the wrong way? (Should the date be the indicator, thus giving me the layout I want?) \enablemode[change] \setuppapersize [A4][A4] \setuplayout [width=middle, backspace=1.5in, cutspace=1.5in, height=middle, topspace=0.75in, bottomspace=0.75in] \setupbodyfont[11pt] \defineregister [change] \setupregister [change] [ indicator=no %% no letter style=sansbold, %% headings textstyle=slanted, %% entries pagestyle=bolditalic, %% page refs n=1, %% columns ] \def\ChangeV#1#2{\change{#1+#2}\doifmode{change}{\inmargin{\tx #1}{\red #2\par}}} \def\ChangeD#1#2{\change{#1+#2}\doifmode{change}{\inmargin{\tx #1}{\red #2\par}}} \starttext \ChangeV{V. 1.0}{Fertig!} \input knuth \ChangeD{2018-12-22}{Fertig!} \ChangeD{2018-12-23}{Letzter Fehler beseitigt.} \input knuth \ChangeD{2018-12-23}{Allerletzter Fehler beseitigt.} Ende \startsection[title={History}] \placechange \stopsection \stoptext

by Floris van Manen 10 Oct '19

10 Oct '19

List, In the metafun-p document, there is the example creating a clock with labels placed at the dots. pair destination ; for whereto = 0 step 30 until 330 : destination := dir(whereto) * 1.5cm ; freedotlabel(decimal whereto, destination, origin) ; drawarrow origin -- destination withpen pencircle scaled .25mm withcolor .625 red ; endfor ; I cannot find any example as how to have a label with multiple lines. like: . one two two . three four Can someone point me to an example as how to do that? Thanks .Floris

\startitemize + "joinedup" ("nowhite") not working in footnotes?
by context＠vivaldi.net 10 Oct '19

10 Oct '19

Hello, in the following sample there is unwanted vertical gap between text "Foo" and the first item "- bar" in the footnote 1 (and also between "Bar" and "- bar") - see red arrows. The same code used outside the footnote behaves as expected - there is no vertical space. Is there anything special about handling itemization inside footnotes? My code: ---- \def\T{% \startitemize[joinedup,nowhite] \item bar \item baz \stopitemize } \def\U{% Foo \T Bar \T } \starttext \U \startitemize \item Item\footnote{\U} \stopitemize \stoptext ---- Best regards, Lukas
