I tried to reproduce your example using \startuseMPgraphic{boxes} …

A modified one of your code is below.
There is no error message but no output at all.
Would you please tell me what is wrong in here?

You cannot use [offset=2mm] here. Just use \startuseMPgraphic{boxes}.

Hi Charles,

I think that "inright" is what you want:

   \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided,
   location=inright]

   \starttext
   \dorecurse{20}{\input knuth }
   \stoptext

With current latest from 2021.07.10 21:51, "location=inright" behaves as
you expect using LMTX.

Using MKIV with the current latest, there is no difference between
"location=inright" and "location=inmargin".

I don’t know whether this is intended or not.

I hope it might help,

the next version fixes it (the lmtx code is somewhat redone / modern)

Re: [NTG-context] double-sided page number placement

Dear Pablo,

can you put this in cont-new.mkxl and test it with options

 With this both   inright  and  inmargin work in LMTX and MKIV

So everything is working for me now.

Thank you for taking the time,

[NTG-context] Moving the old book-structure to a recent ConTeXt

2021-07-12 Thread Gerben Wierda

Years ago I wrote a book (Chess and the Art of Enterprise Architecture) using 
ConTeXt.

The setup was (I think Taco’s) basic book project setup, with a chapters, 
environments, products, etc. subdirectory where you work in the chapters 
directory and can both produce individual chapters and the whole book. The main 
tool to produce was texexec.

ConTeXt has moved on considerably since then (2014-2015).

So, I tried teh old project to see if it still works, but found out it didn’t. 
There still is a texexec in my MacTeX, but the compilation fails:

texexec --pdf --mode=SCREEN  ../products/prd_book.tex
resolvers   | initialization | fatal error: kpse library is accessed (key: 
original)

Is there a new ‘book’ project structure/template for the modern/standalone 
ConTeXt?

Note, I have both a standalone ConTeXt (for another project) and the MacTeX 
distribution on my system. PATH:

/Library/TeX/texbin:/usr/local/context-osx-64/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin:

Thanks,

The project struture with project/product/environment/components is still the 
same.

"texexec" is MkII, you must call "context" for MkIV (with --luatex) and LMTX.

You will probably need to update several setups, there were many changes since 
MkII.

Now, suppose I want to fill this highlighted box. Suddenly, we have a problem. The

With the new stacking mechanism, I can just put the highlight box on "stack 
-1", and everything works well. See page 4. What's also super cool is that I can 
control what gets shown by changing the stacking key.

Let's assume that the last MPpage was a \startuseMPgraphic{boxes}  
\stopuseMPgraphic. Suppose I wanted to use these pictures in a presentation. On 
the first slide, I can use

 \useMPgraphic[stacking=0]{boxes}

to show the three boxes, and on the next slide, I can use

 \useMPgraphic[stacking={-1,0}]{boxes}

to show the boxes and the highlight. Drawing such "conditional" graphics was 
cumbersome in the past. Now, it is easier.

If you show a bunch of such "conditional" graphics in a sequence, you get an 
animation (or you could wrap around the animation module).

PS: Hans, stacking doesn't completely work with the boxes macro. drawunboxed is always 
drawn on stack 0, which the bpath is drawn on the right stack. That is the reason I use 
stack = -1 to put the highlight in the "background".


in a netx upload this will work ok

the first slide, I can use

 \useMPgraphic[stacking=0]{boxes}

to show the three boxes, and on the next slide, I can use

 \useMPgraphic[stacking={-1,0}]{boxes}

to show the boxes and the highlight. Drawing such "conditional" graphics was 
cumbersome in the past. Now, it is easier.

If you show a bunch of such "conditional" graphics in a sequence, you get an 
animation (or you could wrap around the animation module).

PS: Hans, stacking doesn't completely work with the boxes macro. drawunboxed is always 
drawn on stack 0, which the bpath is drawn on the right stack. That is the reason I use 
stack = -1 to put the highlight in the "background".
I need to ckeck if the range checked does negative numbers ... anyway, 
you can do this


\startMPpage[offset=2mm, stacking={1,2,3,4}]

  boxit.A("\boxframed{Box A}");
  boxit.B("\boxframed{Box B}");
  boxit.C("\boxframed{Box C}");

  defaultdx := 0pt;
  defaultdy := 0pt;

  A.c = origin;

  B.w - A.e = (1cm, 0);

  0.5[ A.s, B.s ] - C.n = (0, 1cm);

  draw image (drawunboxed(A,B,C)) withstacking 2;

  drawarrow A.s +- C.w withstacking 3 ;
  drawarrow B.s +- C.e withstacking 4 ;

  newpath highlight;

  highlight := (A.sw -- B.se -- B.ne -- A.nw) enlarged EmWidth;
  fill highlight withcolor "darkgray" withstacking 1;

\stopMPpage

but only the first edge in an image picture is adapted ... (i actually 
know that i need to fix that in mplib because i noticed the same issue 
with color etc (some old issue)
