Re: [NTG-context] margin in TocEntry definition
It works, though I'm happy also to have Wolfgang's very simple version!
I'm learning a lot! I'm a great believer in Occam's Razor - the law of
parsimony, so the simpler version is the way to go, and my earlier use
of a TeX hack (\-\) can be put to rest!
Thanks Bruce and thanks Wolfgang.

The problem, you see, is that \startalignment only offers a few key words like
flushleft, middle etc. and not what I need this time, which is a precise
indentation feature like .5cm. I suppose my real problem is not being
sufficiently au fait with how definitions work. I just can't seem to get a
definition that gives me a result like
Chapter title
author . page number
the \startalignment approach with flushleft would not give me the indentation
obviously, and middle does not work for what I need, and either of them also
pushes the page number line down onto the next line, which I don't want. I
tried \skip .5cm, so:
\define[1]\SectionTocEntry{%
#1\crlf% title
\hskip
.5cm\doifnot{\structurelistuservariable{author}}{}{\structurelistuservariable{author}}%
}
But the \hskip is ignored at the beginning of a line. I wonder if there is
something else I can substitute it for?
D'oh! Sorry - completely forgot about the indent.
Best I can come up with at the moment is this - but I'm not sure how to get
leading dots.

Use \par after the first line (and add \relax after \hskip).
\define[1]}SectionTocEntry
{#1\par
\hskip.5cm\relax\doifnot{...}{...}}

Re: [NTG-context] lmt_outline
Thanks for the pointer, Aditya. I had not seen this, but I couldn't get it to do what I wanted. I don't fully understand what nofill does and how it interacts with fill and eofill. I get strange results sometimes. One complication, though, is that the picture I get from lmt_outline seems to cover some part (small area around the joining part) twice, so that messes up the even/odd logic of eofill. Here is one of the things I tried: \starttext \definedfont[dejavusansmono*arabic] \setupalign[r2l] \startMPcode picture op; op := lmt_outline [ text = "سلام", kind = "fillup", align = "r2l", ] scaled 6mm; for i within op: nofill pathpart i; endfor; for i within op: eofill pathpart i withpen pencircle scaled 1mm; endfor; \stopMPcode \stoptext On Wed, Mar 10, 2021 at 11:09 PM Aditya Mahajan wrote: > On Wed, 10 Mar 2021, Mohammad Hossein Bateni wrote: > > > Hello, > > > > Hans said he's in the metapost mode now :) > > > > I have used lmt_outline in the following example and it is really an > > improvement over the previous outline "effect" because one can set the > > fillcolor and drawcolor separately.

Re: [NTG-context] margin in TocEntry definition
Re: indented line in TocEntry definition:
I have come up with what is probably an inelegant solution (using \-\ so
that \hskip is recognised at the beginning of a line), but it works!
Maybe someone could suggest how to make it more elegant, but for the
moment, it's all I need!
\define[1]\SectionTocEntry{%
#1\crlf% title
\-\ \hskip
.5cm\doifnot{\structurelistuservariable{author}}{}{\structurelistuservariable{author}}%

There is a very similar previous question that might be what you are looking
for.
Try that but use 'flushleft' instead of 'middle'.

[NTG-context] Problem creating format file after downloading current version: 2021.03.09 11:42

[NTG-context] issue with \in and \xmlrefatt
Hans,
after the fix in current latest (2021.03.09 11:42), I get the following
error when using \in[\xmlrefatt{#1}{href}] in Windows (Linux has no
problems).
The error message reads:
fatal lua error:

stack traceback:

I cannot provide a minimal sample and I wonder whether this could be
enough to find out what is missing.
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo
