Re: [NTG-context] page number with brief centered line above
Thanks Wolfgang. It seems I was almost there, but had forgotten the
braces for \pagenumber! I am grateful for the observation. \framed is
definitely the preferred solution.

Hi list,
I am trying to achieve a layout where there is a brief line above the
bottom-centered page number (of a double-sided document). I am able
to achieve the centered bottom-located page number easily and
obviously enough with:
\setuppagenumbering
[alternative=doublesided,location={footer,middle}]
\setupfooter
[style=bold]
And I was able to achieve a result with a short line above where the
page number should be - but by adopting the solution below I have now
lost the page number.
\setuppagenumbering
[alternative=doublesided,location={footer,middle}]
\setupfootertexts[{\framed[frame=off,topframe=on,width=.5\textwidth]}]
You forgot the braces for the argument of \framed.
So then I thought that having left out any reference to page numbers
I had better put it in, so I added [pagenumber] to the above, but I
ended up with two page numbers, one centered, the other to the inner
or outer margins (depending on recto/verso), and the line was
likewise to the right or left of the centred number. So clearly not
what I want.
Maybe the solution lies with some combination of the above I haven't
thought of, or maybe there is another solution altogether. Any thoughts?
1. Add a rule at the top of the footer.
\setuppagenumbering
[location=footer]
\setupfooter
[text]
[before=\hrule]
\starttext
\page[dummy]
\stoptext
2. Put the page number in a frame (preferred method).
\setuppagenumbering
[location=]
\setupfootertexts
[{\framed[width=max,frame=off,topframe=on]{\pagenumber}}]
\starttext
\page[dummy]
\stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] Blank page added after pagecolumns
Okay, I think I'm getting close, but I'm not quite there yet. The
pagecolumns source code is found in page-pcl.mkiv (
source.contextgarden.net/tex/context/base/mkiv/page-pcl.mkiv), and in that
code, the \page_col_stop_yes macro seems to have something to do with the
issue:
```
\unexpanded\def\page_col_stop_yes
{\column % \page_otr_eject_page
\page
\endgroup
% \setupoutputroutine[\s!singlecolumn]%
\page_otr_command_set_vsize
\page_otr_command_set_hsize
\page
\endgroup}
```
If I redefine this macro in my MWE as follows, I can remove the extra page
that is added when the last page ends with text in the last column:
```
\unprotect
\def\page_col_stop_yes
{\column %\page_otr_eject_page
%\page
\endgroup
% \setupoutputroutine[\s!singlecolumn]%
\page_otr_command_set_vsize
\page_otr_command_set_hsize
%\page
\endgroup}
\protect
```
Commenting out the \page calls does the trick in this case, but now, if the
last page ends with its text in a column before the last one, then the last
page is not typeset at all, and a blank page takes its place.

Re: [NTG-context] Retrieving original value of enviroment variable HOME
Hello Hans,
I made some observations and ... - shortly, the simpliest solution seems
to me:
Would it be accptable for your to replace
"
local homedir = osgetenv(ostype == "windows" and 'USERPROFILE' or
'HOME') or ''
"
with:
"
local homedir= ostype=="windows" and (osgetenv('HOME') or
osgetenv('USERPROFILE')) or osgetenv('HOME') or ''
"
- I made that replacement in:
tex\texmf-mswin\bin\mtxrun.lua
and
tex\texmf-context\tex\context\base\mkiv\data-ini.lua
(I have also another solution, but you might find it more hacky, so
let's keep it in silence so far...)
Best regards,
Lukas
