You can write your own style, or your own modified style. Also, we can
implement more styles if (1) there is a need, and (2) there is a clear,
defined standard that can be followed.

I suppose you mean the APS setup when NO date field is given
("to be published" for an article, "in press" for a book, and
"unpublished" otherwise)?

You can redefine the setup btx:aps:nd (no date) to give something else,
but you might have to go further not to get empty parenthesis.

A better solution, using the APS specification is to have a correct
database. Maybe a different publication type category might be more
appropriate.

[NTG-context] fatal error with latest beta

Ok. Sounds good. How can I call the style in the xml files? I know that I
can process a file with \xmlprocessfile or call it from the command line
with --env=, and in a normal tex-file I could obviously use \environment
for this,  but how does this work with xml?

I want to avoid enabling auto rotate in the screens where these
documents are viewed.

In any case, as long as I use "\setupinteractionscreen[option={none,
max}]", everything works as expected.

May thanks for your help,

I think it might be a bug.

When you add \setupinteractionscreen to your document ConTeXt uses a
more complex method to save the page size which includes calculations
for the different box types. Part of these calculations are the width
and height of the document and paper but when you rotate one of them you
get unexpected values for them.

Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang.

I see that a more complex method is deployed to get the box sizes.

I simply thought that this could be a bug.
What is the reason for this page rotation, maybe there is a better 
solution for this?

I find that the current (default) settings tend to break pages early,

small parts of a paragraph at the top of the page.


What parameters do I have to tweak to fill the pages more completely? 
Because I planned already to examine all pages individually for their

You have to change the penalty values for orphans, widows etc.

Shouldn't products, components, and environments provide a way of doing

Re: [NTG-context] XML roundtripping

If your web requirement is single XML files per article, you should be able to 
feed ConTeXt multiple XML files and typeset them as one PDF.

 columnsetspans (I'm trying with an updated lmtx), and have some
 questions.

 1) Is it only the floats that has the long list of placement options
 (given on p. 18 in the columnsets manual), or should they also apply
 to columnsetspans and columnsetareas? (I cannot get it to work with
 "default=fxtb:2*10" and similar options for other elements than
 floats). It would be useful to have it for other type of elements as
 well.

 2) What is the current correct way to get back on grid after formulas?
 The only key that had lead me to something that seems to work in
 \setupformulas is "option=depth". Is that the way to go?

 3) This is a bit unrelated, but is it possible to set page backgrounds
 on specific page. Something like \setupbackgrounds[page][page=3, ...]
 (I cannot find any keys for this in setup-en.pdf). Right now I can set
 it for an odd and an even page, but then if I want a background on the
 page after that, I have to put that code at the place where it will be
 used. (I got an error with \startpostponing[+1] ... \stoppostponing)

 4) To be a bit more concrete on the first issue: In the example below,
 how can I place the columnsetspan at the bottom right? Second and
 third column, 10 lines down? I attach the result of running this file.

 /Mikael

 \setuplayout[grid=yes]
 \showgrid
 \definecolumnset[three][n=3]

 \definecolumnsetspan[two][
 n=2,
 background=color,
 backgroundcolor=lightgray,
 ]

 \starttext
 \startcolumnset[three]
 \samplefile{knuth}

 \startcolumnsetspan[two][default=btrl]
 \samplefile{ward}
 \stopcolumnsetspan

 \dorecurse{5}{\samplefile{knuth}\par}
 \stopcolumnset
 \stoptext


Hi!

I have looked more carefully at the columnsets manual, and it looks like
(parts of) the columnsets mechanism is somehow broken at the moment,
since some of the examples there are not showing what they are supposed to.


the mkii mechanism has been replaced by a new one but it's not
completely compatible (these placements are actually for floats and
spans were just a special kind abusing that mechanism)


Can this be confirmed? Is there a plan to get it to work soon again?

i'll put it on the todo list

Hi!

Many thanks for your reply! Then I stop my playing with it now
(several things work and it looks quite nice!).

I really appreciate any effort in this direction, since I think this
grid+column functionality is a very nice feature to have!!

this will work in a next upload (watch out: columnsets operate on a spread)

\setuppagenumbering[alternative={doublesided}]

\showgrid

\setupalign[verytolerant] \dontcomplain

\definecolumnset[three][n=3]

\definecolumnsetspan[two]
  [n=2,
   background=color,
   backgroundcolor=lightgray]

\starttext

\page[left]

\startcolumnset[three]

\startcolumnsetspan[two][c=1,r=5]
\samplefile{ward}
\stopcolumnsetspan

\startcolumnsetspan[two][method=btlr,c=2,r=3]
\samplefile{ward}
\stopcolumnsetspan

\dorecurse{6}{\samplefile{knuth}\par}

\stopcolumnset

\stoptext

[NTG-context] filling page to bottom

[Hans van der Meer]

I find that the current (default) settings tend to break pages early, leaving a 
fairly large amount of whitespace at the bottom of the pages. Obviously in 
order to avoid breaking paragraphs or to avoid small parts of a paragraph at 
the top of the page.

What parameters do I have to tweak to fill the pages more completely? Because I 
planned already to examine all pages individually for their appearance, 
inserting breaks by hand is not the problem here.

it all depends on where the number comes from; saving a number is a file

also, there is always the tuc file one can analyze

[NTG-context] Which math font for LinLibertine family?

[Tomas Hala]

Hi all,

the font family LinLibertine (ConTeXt from TL2018 and older) does not
contain any math font. 

On the file type-imp-libertine.mkiv there is a (disabled) line joining math
from times family. Is the times math the best for LinLibertine or
would you recommend me something else (from the design point of view)?

What is the best way how to add math to the existing typescript?
(I would like to avoid changing the file from the installation.)

Best wishes

Tomáš

[NTG-context] \includeonly and ConTeXt components

[Denis Maier]

Hi again,

last question for the moment ;-)

With LaTeX we can use  `\includeonly` for partial compilation. The good
thing is that we can still refer to labels from other files, have a
complete TOC, and correct page numbers.
In ConTeXt the project structure is supposed to be used for partial
compilation. But it does not seem to have those features, right? Having
correct page numbers across the individual components would be especially
helpful. Any ways to get this?

Best,
Denis

[NTG-context] Questions regarding project structure

[Denis Maier]

Hi,

I am just testing out the project structure. Let's suppose I have these
files:

- test_env.tex
```
\startenvironment *

\setuphead
[section]
[textstyle=\bf]

\stopenvironment
```

- test_project
```
\startproject *
\environment test_env

\product test_prod

\stopproject
```

- test_prod.tex
```
\startproduct *
\project test

\startalignment[middle]
HEY
\stopalignment

\component test_comp

\stopproduct
```

- test_comp.tex
```
\startcomponent *
\product test_prod
% \project test_project % uncomment this to use the

\section{Test}
\input ward

\stopcomponent
```

>From the documentation [https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Project_structure] I
would assume two things
1. The environment should be used in the component via project=>product.
2. Everything in the product that is not in a component should be used in
the component as well.

Both assumptions seem not be correct. Any hints about this? Am I missing
something? Am I doing something wrong? Or is there a bug somewhere?
Documentation errors?

Best,
Denis

[NTG-context] Compiling multiple files without master document

[Denis Maier]

Hi,

Currently it is possible to process a file with an external environment
file specified via the command line.

```
context file --environment=mydefs
```

Very nice.

Is it possible to process multiple files from the command line without a
master document? Like so:

```
context file1 file2 file3 --environment=mydefs
```

Or should I just use `cat file1 file2 file3 > file` before processing?

Best,
Denis
