Like we have for editors: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Text_Editors I’ve an overview in my (still upcoming…) book, see attachment.

There are so many features where viewers differ... Greetlings, Hraban --- https://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.dreiviertelhaus.de GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD

Hi, I've attached a document that I made last week. It's (currently) an lmtx only feature. In acrobat, the 'marked' areas (some tracing option) are the hyperlink. I have no clue how useful this is, maybe for maps or some educational setting. I had it on my agenda to play with it anyway. I don't think that viewers other than acrobat support it (even if it's already quite old pdf stuff; they should anyway fall back on the rectangle) but who knows ... I only tested sumatra (the okular that I have doesn't even seem to handle the links at all). It's not really efficient in bytes because it's (I think) meant for another usage. As with more features in the pdf format I think it might have started as some hack, but it's documented so ...

Hi, I have seen ConTeXt comes with an extension for VS Code. How do you use that? I have tried the code in the readme, but this doesn't seem to work. Best, Denis

Dear Sytse, Thank you for your suggestion. > > Maybe paragraphs work for you? > (https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Columns) I will check it. BTW, Use “\column” and don’t print a blank page is the simplest way. Thank you again. Best regards, Dalyoung

configure \digits
by Damien Thiriet 25 Aug '19

25 Aug '19

Hi, According to the wiki and 2003 article Pasting Digits together, to get 1314000 typeset as 1\,314\,000, I should do \setdigits 3 \digits{1314000} unfortunatly, the \setdigits command looks obsolete (MkII command? Could not find in my ConTeXt help information server (http://localhost:8088/mtx-server-ctx-help.lua? and so on…). I am using 2018 texlive. Maybe job is now done by \setupunit, but couldn't figure out how it works. So what should I do to have numbers typeset the French way (points&commas or thinmuskip&commas)? MWE to be improved \starttext \setdigits 3 \digits{1314000} \stoptext Thanks, Damien Thiriet

Bug with jobs.file.run?
by Aditya Mahajan 25 Aug '19

25 Aug '19

Hi, I use jobs.file.run in t-filter to cache the results so that the external filters are only run if the content has changed. For some reason, this is not working but I cannot figure out why? Repeating the same steps as t-filter manually works, but something goes wrong when I use the t-filter interface. See the attached test.tex file. When I run context test.tex context test.tex | grep run I get graphics > run > processing file, no changes in 'test.md', not processed graphics > run > processing file, changes in 'test-temp-pandoc-0.tmp', processing forced Notice that the first run is the manual job.files.run and the second run is the one from t-filter. The test file contains a fix, which is simply a copy-paste of the relavant code from graph-fil.lua. When I run context --mode=fix test.tex context --mode=fix test.tex | grep run I get graphics > run > processing file, no changes in 'test.md', not processed graphics > run > processing file, no changes in 'test-temp-pandoc-0.tmp', not processed So, I am not sure what is going wrong, and why is it getting fixed if I simply copy the definition of jobs.file.run. Any hints? Thanks, Aditya
