imposition: getting to the last page of a booklet
by Michael Guravage 07 Mar '24

07 Mar '24

Greetings, I would like to use the nextquadruple and beforequadruple pagebreakhandlers described at the bottom of the wiki's imposition page. However, the examples complain of an error invoking the \installpagebreakhandler command. The wiki page was last updated nearly four years ago. Is anyone using updated versions of these? -- With kind regards, Michael

multicolumn title and abstact (bachotex) using tugboat.mkxl
by damien＠thiriet.web4me.fr 07 Mar '24

07 Mar '24

Hello, I am currently writing my paper for last year's BachoTeX proceedings. I am using tugboat.mkxl module to design the layout. In bachotex proceedings, the author's data and abstract are on a single column and the article is usually typeset on two columns. Comments in tugboat.mkxl states: %D We have several column mechanisms and they all serve a different purpose. Here we %D use pagecolumns. They support much of what we can do in single columns, but of %D course there are exceptions. Floats can go into columns of aremoved to the top or %D bottom when there is no room. We don't span mid column. Notes can go in columns %D or at the end. We can start with a single column (for titles and such). I can't figure out which part of the file should be used/adapted to start with a single column. What I did is to put datas and abstract in a frame and use \placefigure. As stated in pagecolumns manual, everything is put on the top of next page. (BTW, there is a typo: «of aremoved») I don't know, whether this MWE helps is relevant, but just in case, here is what I did: * copy tugboat.mkxl to a new file p-bachotex.mkxl * changed p-bachotex.mkxl like this: \startsetups bachotex:naglowek:columns \defineframedtext [Dane] \setupframedtext [Dane] [width=18cm , align=normal, frame=no] \definenarrower [Streszczenia] [2*middle] \startplacefigure [location={here,none}] {\startDane {\tfa\getvariable{tugboat}{author}}\par \getvariable{tugboat}{address}\par {\tt\getvariable{tugboat}{email}}\par \startStreszczenia \doifelsebufferempty {abstract} { % no abstract } { \blank[line] \enforced\let\\\endgraf \setups[tugboat:abstract:setup] \startAbstracts[title={Abstract}] \stopAbstracts } \stopStreszczenia \stopDane} \stopplacefigure \stopsetups \startsetups tugboat:article:start \starttext \setups{tugboat:columns:presets} \setups{tugboat:banner:setup:\getvariable{tugboat}{type}} \setupheadertexts [\setups{tugboat:banner:text:article}] [pagenumber] \setuppagenumber [number=\getvariable{tugboat}{page}] \startmode[columns] \startpagecolumns \stopmode \setups[tugboat:introduction:article] \doifmodeelse{columns}{ \setups{bachotex:naglowek:columns} } { \setups{bachotex:naglowek:nocolumns} } \stopsetups My article begins so: \enablemode [columns] \usemodule [bachotex] % skipped tugboat variables for this MWE \StartAbstract \input tufte \StopAbstract \StartArticle \input knuth \StopArticle Thank you for your help Damien T

missing metadata in LMTX
by Pablo Rodriguez 06 Mar '24

Dear list, this issue has been bugging me for some time: \startbuffer[demo] <doc> <meta> <author>author</author> <title>title</title> </meta> <text> text </text> </doc> \stopbuffer \starttext \startxmlsetups xml:initialize \xmlsetsetup{#1}{code|meta|text}{xml:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:initialize} \startxmlsetups xml:doc \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:meta \setupinteraction [author={\xmltext{#1}{/author}}, title={\xmltext{#1}{/title}}] \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:text \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \setupinteraction[state=start] \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{demo}{} \stoptext With LuaTeX, I get PDF metadata. With LuaMetaTeX, I cannot get them. For both, I’m using current latest (from 2024.02.27 09:21). Could anyone confirm the issue or explain me what I am missing? Many thanks for your help, Pablo

\showsymbolset is noop
by Henning Hraban Ramm 06 Mar '24

06 Mar '24

The \showsymbolset has no output any more, apparently already for some time. I checked on COW (ConTeXt ver: 2022.12.22 22:17 LMTX fmt: 2022.12.23) and my local installation (ConTeXt ver: 2024.02.22 18:31 LMTX fmt: 2024.2.22). Can someone try on MkIV?

.jpx and .jxl
by Jim 05 Mar '24

05 Mar '24

Recently I've been trying to make some PDFs smaller by using better compression of JPEG pictures. I was happy to see that \externalfigure cheerfully accepts .jp2 (JPEG 2000) files. However, my understanding (and I could well be wrong, but I've seen it multiple places) is that JPEG 2000 *Part 2* files should have extension .jpx, not .jp2. By default, ConTeXt does not recognize .jpx. But if I rename a .jpx file to have a .jp2 extension, then ConTeXt properly processes the file and I see the picture in the PDF. Q: are there any plans to make ConTeXt recognize the .jpx extension? If not, can anyone suggest some ConTeXt code which allows me to tell ConTeXt to process a .jpx file as a .jp2 file? I have also been investigating the use to JPEG-XL files (.jxl). One of the interesting aspects of JXL files is that .jpg files can be **losslessly** compressed into .jxl files. (That is, you can recover the exact .jpg from the .jxl file if you want, so there is no further degradation of the image by doing this lossless compression.) I have been seeing 20% to 30% reduction in file sizes by converting JPGs into JXLs, which I would be happy to make use of in my PDFs, if possible. Bonus question: is there any plan to support JXL files in ConTeXt? Thanks. Jim

issue mixing font features (LMTX & MkIV)
by Pablo Rodriguez 04 Mar '24

04 Mar '24

Dear list, I have the following sample: \definefontfeature[wider][extend=2] \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][TeX Gyre Pagella] [features={default, quality, wider}, it={style: regular, features:{default, slanted, quality}}, bf={style: regular, features:{default, boldened-30}}, bi={style: regular, features:{default, boldened-30, slanted}}] \setupbodyfont [mainface, 30pt] \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=1ex] a {\it a}\\ {\bf a} {\bi a} \stopTEXpage \stoptext With current latest (2024.02.27 09:21), LuaTeX gets boldened and slanted for regular (but the other fonts cannot inherit the wider feature and wider will not mix with boldened-30 [even when specified]). For some reason, LMTX from current latest cannot get slanted and boldened-30 (but it mixes the inherited wider feature in all fonts). This began to behave differently in latest from 2024.01.08 11:23 (which is my next version after the one from 2023.09.26 18:19). Could anyone confirm the issue? Many thanks for your help, Pablo

Dear list, I have the following sample: \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][TeX Gyre Termes] \definefontfamily[mainface][cg][Twemoji Mozilla][features={color}] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext \scale[width=30em]{a} \scale[width=30em]{\cg 🇬🇧} \stoptext Using current latest from both MkIV and LMTX, I cannot scale the emoji flag. Latest font release can be directly download from https://github.com/mozilla/twemoji-colr/releases/latest/download/Twemoji.Mo…. Am I missing something to scale the glyph properly?

enhancing documentation: initials
by Henning Hraban Ramm 04 Mar '24

04 Mar '24

Hi, I tried to figure out what the "method" parameter of \setupinitial does – it changes the handling of quotation marks at the beginning of the text. It’s defined in context/base/mkiv/typo-drp.lua But I found no difference between first, last, and none; just "auto" includes the mark in the initial, and it works only with a few languages, e.g. English and French, but not e.g. German or Dutch: """ \mainlanguage[de] \setuppapersize[A6] \setupinitial[n=2,color=orange,] \starttext \start \setupinitial[method=first] \placeinitial \quotation{Keine andere Kunst hat mehr Berechtigung, ihren Blick auf die zukünftigen Jahrhunderte zu richten als die Typographie.}\wordright{Giambattista Bodoni} \stop \start \setupinitial[method=last] \placeinitial \quotation{Nationalökonomie ist, wenn die Leute sich wundern, warum sie kein Geld haben.}\wordright{Kurt Tucholsky} \stop \start \setupinitial[method=auto] \placeinitial \quotation{Der Mensch wird auf natürlichem Wege hergestellt, doch empfindet er dies als unnatürlich und spricht nicht gern davon.}\wordright{Kurt Tucholsky} \stop \start \setupinitial[method=none] \placeinitial \quotation{Keine andere Kunst hat mehr Berechtigung, ihren Blick auf die zukünftigen Jahrhunderte zu richten als die Typographie.}\wordright{Giambattista Bodoni} \stop \stoptext """
