Hi, list \startMPpage draw outlinetext.d("\mathematics{\sqrt{2}-1}")(withcolor black withpen currentpen) scaled 1; \stopMPpage fails (radicals are not drawn at all). As for context --version, mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 1.06 mtx-context | mtx-context | main context file: /usr/local/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/context.mkiv mtx-context | current version: 2024.04.01 08:59 mtx-context | main context file: /usr/local/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/context.mkxl mtx-context | current version: 2024.04.01 08:59 Maybe it's only me, but I tried with several fonts and the outcome is similar. Best regards, Jairo

Is there a way to consolidate index reference numbers by book?
by Joel 11 May '24

11 May '24

\useregister[workbookA][03_workbook][learnedlong][WB~1:~] \useregister[workbookB][04_workbook][learnedlong][WB~2:~] \useregister[workbookC][05_workbook][learnedlong][WB~3:~] \useregister[workbookD][06_workbook][learnedlong][WB~4:~] \startchapter[title=Standards] \placeregister[learnedlong,workbookA,workbookB,workbookC,workbookD] \stopchapter I setup a custon index that lists items from four different workbooks. The problem is in the indexi, it displays entreis like this: WHST.1.1: 11, 231, WB 1: 124, WB 1: 133, WB 2: 325, WB 2: 345, etc. In other words, it says WB 1 in front of every page number from the first workbook. Is there any way to consolidate the page numbers by book, e.g. output instead like this: WHST.1.1: 11, 231, WB1: 124, 133, WB 2: 325, 345 In other words, it list all page numbers for Workbook 1 right after WB 1: instead of placing WB 1 in front of every single page from Workbook 1? --Joel

How to place text, but make it completely hidden from viewers?
by Joel 10 May '24

10 May '24

I have found a few situations is confusing/breaking ConTeXt: - Footnotes inside tables, figures, frames, margins (won't render the cited item). - Custom index items inside those items (displays "entry not flushed"). My workaround has been to define a size 0 font \tfz, then put it in a block like this: {\tfz% \starteffect[hidden]% \cite[author1912] \stopeffect% }% The problem this seems to create, is sometimes if placed between two passages, it interprets a need to create two paragraph breaks: \input knuth {\tfz% \starteffect[hidden]% \cite[author1912] \stopeffect% }% \input knuth It creates a paragraph break after the first knuth, then another after the hidden text, thereby creating a "double spaced" break between two paragraphs. Note the above code is used in many macros, so I don't have full control always where it appears, but its making the double-spaced break everywhere. Is there either (1) something can enter before this code that essentially has the effect of "backup to the previous paragraph" or (2) some other method of hiding text that makes it present on the page, but just not visible to the reader, that won't create a double spaced break, or take up any space what-so-ever? --Joel

Re: intercolumn pull quotes typesetting
by Garulfo 08 May '24

08 May '24

Hi all, I am happy to share one way to get "pull quotes between two columns" (in a three columns layout). https://wiki.contextgarden.net/images/5/50/context_3columns_layout.pdf It's not based on Columns / ColumnSet / Page Columns. It just combines \startuseMPgraphic + build_parshape + \framed + \getshapetext (and several precautions regarding offsets, thicknesses, spacings, dimensions, box positioning...) It's not used in this case, but I discovered that \placelocalfootnotes and \reference \at \in etc... are fully functional with \getshapetext :-) The resulting layout isn't as complex as a newspaper, but a lot can be done (at the cost of some investment, but really, it's not that hard). LuaMetaTeX is definitely fun and pretty. Thanks devs and community. =====> One question <===== Would it be possible to define several shapetex like \startshapetex[NAME1], \startshapetex[NAME2], in order to alternate the use of \getshapetext[NAME1] and \getshapetext[NAME2] because currently only one can be active at a time ?

regular online meet-up
by Henning Hraban Ramm 08 May '24

08 May '24

You’re invited to our regular online meet-up, this upcoming Wednesday, May 8th, 19:00 CEST (UTC+2!) at https://lecture.senfcall.de/hen-rbr-rku-oke (same, but shorter: https://u.mtxrun.eu/ctxmtg) ConTeXt users of all levels are welcome! Do you have a subject that you’d like to talk about? I’m hoping to hear about BachoTeX (have fun, everyone who’s there)! Looking forward to seeing you, Hraban (Same blurb as always:) [Howto] * No special software installation required; most modern browsers should work (WebRTC required). * Open the URL above, accept the privacy statement, * enter your name, * click "join" (or "start" if you’re the first), * click "with microphone", allow your browser to access it, check the audio. * Your microphone is muted if you join. Activate microphone and/or camera with the buttons at the bottom. * Minimize the default presentation with the "screen" button, bottom right. * If you’d like to share your screen or upload a file, you can make yourself the presenter: Click on your user name, change the setting, then you’ll see the "screen sharing" button beside the camera button; also there’s now "manage presentations" behind the "plus" button. Beware there is only one presenter at a time, so don’t kill someone else’s presentation. [Technical hints] * Sound is usually better if you use a headset (less noise for everyone). * Connection problems are mostly due to low bandwidth or high latency on your side, e.g. with mobile connections. * Sometimes leaving and re-entering helps. * If audio/video doesn’t work for you, you can still use the text chat. * Screen sharing needs a lot of bandwidth. * BigBlueButton documentation applies: https://bigbluebutton.org/teachers/tutorials/ [Netiquette] * Please use a name that we recognize from here. Some feel uncomfortable with anonymous lurkers. * Mute your microphone while you’re not talking. * It’s nice to show your face at least when you join. * If there are connection problems, stop camera sharing. * The room is set to “everyone’s a moderator“, I trust you...

more register questions!
by Thomas A. Schmitz 08 May '24

08 May '24

Hi, making wonderful progress on my registers and translating from xml. There is one thing I can't figure out (and I or some other good soul may have asked in the past...). Is it possible to mark occurrences in footnotes? Ideally, the entry in the register would look like p. 100\high{20} to show that the term occurs in note 20 on p. 100. But if that's asking too much, I would be content with applying a processor (say, italic) to these register entries. From the looks of the tuc file, Context doesn't appear to "know" that a register entry is within a footnote. But Hans never ceases to amaze me, so maybe there is a way (short of applying special markup to these notes in the source)? All best Thomas
