Gavin (and the mailing list), I would very strongly argue that the space between the number and the following units be UNBREAKABLE. Perhaps a thin space (preference), but most certainly non-breakable. Similarly around the times in scientific notation. I further cannot imagine that a line break be acceptable around a \cdot in composite units. This can possibly lead to overfill and underfill, something that I find *infinitely* more acceptable then breaking numbers and units. I do not know or use the \units command. Maybe it uses unbreakable spaces, maybe not. I would never use it unless it could be configured to only use nonbreakable spaces. Perhaps others feel differently?

[NTG-context] How to make something appear to the right of every paragraph?
I'd like to add some area for readers to write in the margins of some text. This would leave three lines, like this to the right of the text. __ The passage would take up about the left 60% of the text and the margin note space about 30% of textwidth, so no need to use the margins. Though its easy for me to implement this code using some \thinrules and manually dropping macros in the text, is there some way ConTeXt can be told to just add them to right of every paragraph (at the start of the paragraph)? Sample: This is some text that is written in the passage and you can see the th-ree lines to the right.The text in the para-graph continues eventhough there arejust three lines tothe right. Here is another par- agraph. Here is yet another paragraph. You can see it also has the three liens. This is just for a segment of the book, not every paragraph in the book. --Joel ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / https://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : https://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : https://contextgarden.net ___

You can use \framed to create a box which takes the size of its content.
The borders
of the framed box can be used to cut the stickers and with the
frameoffset key
(or offset if your prefer) you can increase the distance between the borders
and the content.

Beware there is only one presenter at a time, so don’t kill someone else’s presentation.

Hello list, I'm trying to install ConTeXt Standalone on my Mac (macOS 12.6 Monterey and Apple M2 chip) but at the end of the installation the ConTeXt-MkIV folder (where I install Standalone) on the disk weighs only 7MB (the tex tree is created, but its folders are empty). I've never had a problem installing it on my old computer (Intel processor). Do you know if it is a known problem? These are the commands I used (taken from the wiki): rsync -av rsync: //contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/first-setup.sh . sh ./first-setup.sh --modules = all --fonts = all --goodies = all --context = latest --engine = luatex Where am I wrong? LMTX installation, on the other hand, should be successful (the folder weighs 297.8 MB, as much as the Standalone one should weigh). Thanks in advance.

Just to add some more data points, I tested the attached MkXL file on two printers, and the file printed perfectly on both. Printer 1: Brother HL-3170CDW Printed via running "cat test.mkxl.pdf | nc Colour-Printer.local 9100" Printer 2: HP M227f LaserJet Printed from the PDF file on a USB stick Neither printer is anything fancy; they're both fairly inexpensive home laser printers. I've got a much older Brother laser printer that I may be able to test with next week. Sorry I can't be of more help. -- Max ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / https://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : https://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : https://contextgarden.net ___
