Re: [NTG-context] Title for tabulate

[Benjamin Buchmuller via ntg-context]

Yes, this works! Thanks!

I'll try to add a section on the Wiki. Is there a reason why the second 
approach works while the other doesn't?

[NTG-context] Extra shift with ornament

[Mikael Sundqvist via ntg-context]

Hi,

When using an ornament on a \startframedtext \stoptextframed the frame
is shifted just a little bit. Can one get rid of that shift? MWE
below.

\defineornament[MyOrn][

[NTG-context] \startcolumnset ... \stopcolumnset fatal error: return code 11

[Jeong Dal via ntg-context]

Hi,

I have used newcolumnset module to make a test sheet. It was made by the help 
of experts in the list.
It worked fine a month ago and also worked via TeXlive 2021.
But I got error using the recent version.
Thanks Nicola and John for testing.

I have listed it before and tried to find out the cause.
I have test the following file in the editors,  vscode, vim, atom and even in 
the terminal.
It might be an apple binary problem as Hans suspected.
I’d like to know that it is the only problem for Mac users.

Here is the code and the part of error message:
It was tested in vscode, vim and terminal too.

I am using Mac OSX, 
ConTeXt  ver: 2021.12.03 15:20 LMTX  fmt: 2021.12.9  int: english/english

Thank you for reading.
Best regards,

Chapters start by default on a right page when you use a doublesided 
layout, to change this behavior set a different value to the page key.


\setuphead [chapter] [page=yes]

Hi Denis,

I don’t think it may have (other than forgetting other options, such as
hz or hanging).

> Is it possible to change the text direction for single notes?

It doesn’t seem an option for \startfootnote. How about defining a new
command?

  \definedelimitedtext[rtlblockquote][before={\righttoleft}]
  \definenote[otnote][footnote]
  \setupnote[otnote][align=l2r]
  \starttext
  \input zapf
  \startblockquote

  \startrtlblockquote
  \input zapf\footnote{this should start on the left.}
  \input zapf\otnote{this should start on the left.}
  \stoprtlblockquote
  \input zapf
  \stoptext

Just in case it might help,

Pablo

best make a copy of your tex directory and install in there

(btw, why is a new luametatex bin needed? are you sure the rest of 
context is in sync? e.g. Some internal (lua) keys were normalized recently.)


So all I need to do is replace the luametatex binay (dl from the build

it as is?

luatex is the same fr a while already

Re: [NTG-context] LTR footnotes from RTL paragraph

Betreff: [NTG-context] LTR footnotes from RTL paragraph

Hi

Footnotes originating from an RTL paragraph will be also typeset in RTL mode as 
the following example illustrates:

%%
\setupdelimitedtext[blockquote]
[leftmargin=1.5em,rightmargin=0em,]

\definedelimitedtext[rtlblockquote]
\setupdelimitedtext[rtlblockquote]
[leftmargin=0em,rightmargin=1.5em,before={\righttoleft}]


\starttext

\input knuth

\startblockquote
\input knuth\footnote{this starts on the left.}
\stopblockquote

\startrtlblockquote
\input knuth\footnote{this should start on the left, but it doesn't.}
\stoprtlblockquote

\input knuth

\stoptext


According to the wiki, that's the expected behaviour 
(https://wiki.contextgarden.net/RTL#Footnotes).
However, I'd prefer to keep the footnotes as LTR footnotes. Can I convince 
ConTeXt to typeset these footnotes in LTR mode?

Best,
Denis
