[NTG-context] installing modules
Hi, while the rsync installation shown in https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Modules#ConTeXt_LMTX works well, it doesn’t install all available modules listed in modules.contextgarden.net. E.g. lua-widow-control and metaducks are missing. Why, and how can we change that? Has it to do with the t- prefix?

Re: [NTG-context] cropoffset reduces paper size

If I set:

Then the resulting paper size is A4, because the "oversized" factor is
nulled by the crop offset.
While I can work around this "feature", the behaviour is different from
earlier versions. Can’t check with MkIV, since that doesn’t work any
more, as reported by Pablo et al.

Re: [NTG-context] placing (on) layers
Hi Willi,
thank you, I wasn’t aware that \flushlayer works this way. This was also
the problem in my real project.
And I had the wrong layer mentioned in \setupbackgrounds from another test.
Also, cropoffset was interfering in the real project, see my other mail.

Hi Hraban,
if you flush a layer like in your example, then the layer is attached to the
left top of the text area. If you want to place it in another place, you will
have to move it by x and y dimensions to the right place in the first brackets
of the \setlayerframed command . — What would be possible is to attach the
layer as a background to one of the different areas of the paper.
I hope this gives you a hint how to proceed..

Oh, great work, thank you! (While I keep working with WebCMS and avoid math...) And I guess you forgot to mention that you discontinued the support for non-metric measures like the obsolete inch, except Potrzebie, of course. Hraban Am 01.04.22 um 10:02 schrieb Hans Hagen via ntg-context: Hi, As most of you know by now, Mikael and I are working on a math support upgrade. In order to let users keep up we uploaded a new version. We have been revisioning some of the more obscure constructs where we have no clue of usage, like pmod, bmod, bordermatrix etc, commands that we took (and reimplemented) decades ago from plain TeX or AMS TeX, assuming that these are standards. In this release, encouraged by the positive response we received from users regarding the new simplealignment construction, and in particular regarding the self-explaining sesac, we have decided to introduced some new constructs. First out is \startformula \startxıɹʇɐɯ \NC a_1 \NC b_1 \NC c_1 \NR \NC a_2 \NC b_2 \NC c_2 \NR \NC a_3 \NC b_3 \NC c_3 \NR \stopxıɹʇɐɯ \stopformula for rotation matrices. This was demanded for some advanced math courses that Mikael teaches. It might inspire users to come up with demands that suits their own obscure but nevertheless interesting math. At some point we realized that, with (also) scientific publishers (of math journals) moving to MS Word and Indesign, we operate in a rather peculiar niche and the fact that we use an upgraded and more granular math engine, made us wonder how to communicate all these new features and standards that we set. It is for that reason that from now on we will operate under the CMS umbrella. That abbreviation stands for ConTeXt Math Society. It has no funny swirly TeX logo which itself is a statement: in Unicode math script and calligraphic alphabets are so messed up that it is impossible to have a reliable and predictable rendering. We go for Dutch and Swedish simplicity in the spirit of W.N. Lansburgh: back to the times before TeX was written (1964). There will be no limits and boundaries set. (Talking math limits and boundaries: these can already go everywhere anyway, as can fences.) So, when we mention CMS, we mean serious math business, but kindergarten math is also embraced! There are no consequences for users: ConTeXt users with a proven math track record are automatically a member, but we are not too picky, everyone is welcome. We don't have honorary members but Taco (the first ConTeXt math user) and Aditya (the most experienced one) might consider themselves as such. Mikael Sundqvist is the chairman, which is a livelong appointment. (A nice side effect is that with Arthur living in Sweden too, that gives us a very strong position in the TeX landscape there.) So, today's upload is sort of special: welcome CMS (ConTeXt Math Shines), goodbye AMS (American Math Second). Of course we're open for suggestions and it being an open society all voices will be heard, but only proper (retro) math cf Lansburgh will be honored. Of course we only listen to ConTeXt users and, as that package is not supposed to be used for serious math, we don't bother about the few publishers left that still do math. Are we done? Not yet. We're in the middle of (colorful and graphic) alignment ornaments and after that we're going to expand and improve multi-line display formulas and equation numbering. It will be no coincidence that the cover of Landburghs book about math typesetting has a prominent 'AWE' embedded in a logo with a lion on top: we hope all users are in awe about what the TeX lion can do.

Re: [NTG-context] \setupheadertexts for chapters with different authors
Hi Julian,
you’re right, the example didn’t do what you wanted, and it didn’t
intend to.
Using \getmarking you can get a section title (or another “mark”), you
can’t combine it with the variable commands, and you don’t need it for
your case.
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/getmarking isn’t really helpful
since there’s no example with section titles, but it shows you can also
get previous or next “marks”.
BTW, I can’t remember when you need \structurevariable vs.
\namedstructurevariable...

I might need a little more help just to understand how best to adapt
this to my situation:
One thing is clear: I was attempting to use a 'list' variable, and I can
see why that was an error, since it is headertexts, not TOC that I want
to influence.
But let me simplify my situation:
You seem to suggest initially that I could use \structureuservariable
(or \structurevariable) instead, especially since I already have a
variable to call on, e.g \startchapter[title={My title}][author={A.
uthor}]. But in the example you then gave, you made no use of either of
these.
My current setting is:
\setupheadertexts [{\hfill\getmarking[chapter]\hfill}][]
[{\hfill\documentvariable{metadata:title}\hfill}][]
which gives me the book title centred on verso pages, and the chapter
title centred on recto pages. All I want to do is to have the chapter
contributors' name for each chapter instead of the chapter title.
So why can't I create a setups along the lines of:
\startsetups[contributor] \getmarking[\structureuservariable{author}]
\stopsetups
Then just swap 'chapter' in \setupheadertexts, with 'contributor'? I
tried it but it doesn't work. I thought it would be logical. Clearly I'm

Re: [NTG-context] Calling in chapter number in list={}
Hi Julian,
have fun with:
\currentlistentrylocation
= Laufende Nummer des Listeneintrags \namedstructureheadlocation{section}
= Abschnittsnummer der angegebenen Hierarchiestufe (chapter, section usw.)
\currentlistentrynumber
= Abschnittsnummer des aktuellen Listen eintrags
\currentlistentrytitle
= Überschrift des aktuellen Listeneintrags
\currentlistentrypagenumber
= Seitenzahl des aktuellen Listeneintrags
(in German, because I copied it from my book)
If you use \setuplist[command=...], you should set
alternative=interactive, otherwise you don’t get bookmarks and links.
\define[3]\MeinEintrag{#3: #2 (#1)} % Seite: Titel (Nummer)
\setuplist[alternative=interactive,command=\MeinEintrag]
or define your own alternative:
\definelistalternative[j][renderingsetup=list:jbf]

I wonder if there is a way I can call in the chapter number in the TOC,
although that number is not used for chapters as such. I know the
chapter number is 'remembered' anyway, so there is probably a way I can
call it in just for the TOC.
The context for this question is the layout for book which comprises
individual contributions, and each contribution has its own
author/copyright (hence the individual chapters bear a title without a
number, but the editor who has compiled these wants them numbered in the
TOC).
I currently call the author name in the TOC with:
\define[1]\SectionTocEntry{%
\leftaligned{#1}\par% title. \leftaligned is needed
\hskip1cm\relax\doifnot{\structurelistuservariable{author}}{}{\structurelistuservariable{author}}%
}
\setuphead[chapter] of course includes number=no.
\setuplist[chapter] is currently set as:
[label=yes,distance=1.2cm,style=normal,before=\blank,after=\blank,textstyle=normal,alternative=c,textcommand=\SectionTocEntry,]
And for the moment I simply use, as part of the \startchapter[]
description: list={1. This is the rather long title of the first
chapter, with the number included at the beginning}.
While that gives me the number of the chapter, it does not give me
correct indentation when the chapter title runs to more than one line.
What I would prefer to do is to be able to call the chapter number
automatically with placing 1., 2., etc. in list={}.

[NTG-context] interlinespacing in margin notes – solved
Hi all, esp. Hans and Massimiliano,
yesterday in the online meeting we discussed (again) my margin notes
problems. A quite minimal setup is shown below.
My remaining problem was that the footnotes always used the
interlinespacing (baseskip) of the main text.
Finally I found the reason in my typescript file:
\definefontfeature[default][dimensions=strut]
(I guess I tried to solve the irregular line spacing with that setting.)
Thank you for your patience!
Now I need to adjust the linespacing and page breaking in all other
parts of my current book...

Hi Alain,
in my current project I need the same. I use floats and move the
externalfigure with \offset; can show you on Tuesday.
e.g.
\startplacefigure[title={},location=left]% or outer...
\offset[topoffset=-1em,leftoffset=-20mm]{%

Hi!
I'll try to join and I have a question regarding inserting floats in
outer margins in double sided document. The outer margins are large and
the inner small. I want to insert my floats (mainly figures) in the
outer margins and have them at level where they are called. Furthermore,
sometimes the float is to large, so it should take part of the text,
with the text surrounding it.
But this is perhaps answered in context garden, but I didn't find where.
And if there are more fundamental questions, my can wait.
See you on Tuesday.

You’re invited to join next Tuesday, February 8th, 15:00 CET (UTC+1)

ConTeXt users of all levels are welcome!
Hans offered to give a Q session again – please announce subjects
you’d like to discuss ASAP, so that he can prepare.
Regarding the date:
Denis, who originally suggested Tuesday afternoon, can’t take part due
to other obligations. I could also offer Wednesday or Thursday.
We could also change the weekday every time, but that might be
confusing. I would keep the European afternoon time, since that makes
participation possible for people from America and Asia.

(Same blurb as last time:)
[Howto]
* No special software installation required; most modern browsers
should work (WebRTC required).
* Open the above URL, accept the privacy statement,
* enter your name,
* click "join" (or "start" if you’re the first),
* click "with microphone", allow your browser to access it, check the
audio.
* Your microphone is muted if you join. Activate microphone and/or
camera with the buttons at the bottom.
* Minimize the default presentation with the "screen" button, bottom
right.
* If you’d like to share your screen or upload a file, you can make
yourself the presenter: Click on your user name, change the setting,
then you’ll see the "screen sharing" button beside the camera button;
also there’s now "manage presentations" behind the "plus" button.
Beware there is only one presenter, so don’t kill someone else’s
presentation.
[Technical hints]
* Sound is usually better if you use a headset (less noise for everyone).
* Connection problems are mostly due to low bandwidth or high latency
on your side, e.g. with mobile connections.
* If audio/video doesn’t work for you, you can still use the text chat.
* Screen sharing needs a lot of bandwidth.
* You can also join with a regular telephone (audio only, of course),
call +49-6151-86275-22 (German landline); then you must enter a PIN
that changes every time – if you need it, ask me for it via email.
Mute/unmute your microphone with "0".
[Netiquette]
* Please use a name that we recognize from here. Some feel
uncomfortable with anonymous lurkers.
* Mute your microphone while you’re not talking.
* It’s nice to show your face at least when you join.
* If there are connection problems, stop camera sharing.
* The room is set to “everyone’s a moderator“, I trust you...
See you, Hraban

The location= option is for where on the page (e.g. in a margin, in the main

'here' or 'force' or the default which is to float along until it finds what it
thinks is a good place.
Not really. "here" and "force" are just options for location, i.e.
location={here,force}
should mostly do what you want.

see an other solution than to use formatting in the entry and set the

Ah, of course. So “normalization” to some ruler’s shoe size was already progress. In India, from what I am aware, the pre-imperial units of measurements had similar origins as imperial. Length was based on width of fingers, cubit (also used in other civilizations of the time), person-height and so on. As with the imperial units, these definitions were not uniform and went through a uniformization process in the middle ages. However, India moved to imperial units with colonization, and adopted metric system after Independence.

Re: [NTG-context] How to let a macro check the previous value of #1 the last time the same macro was called?

You can get rid of the temp variable before the command definition but
now you have to access it with a different method in \mymacro, below is
one way (LMTX only) but \setvariable and \getvariable work as well.
\define[1]\mymacro
{\iftok{#1}{\getvalue{previousmymacro}}%
same as last time
\else
it is different from last time
\fi
\setvalue{previousmymacro}{#1}}
That was the approach that I meant. Thank you.

I tried to use a description for a list of organizations with partly

Am 03.01.22 um 08:09 schrieb Jean-Pierre Delange via ntg-context: Thank you very much for your quick answer to you both Fabrice and Henning ! It seems there is no detailed documentation about peculiar aspects of CTX on MacOS. For instance, the use of fonts database on unix-like and MacOS are a bit different (but not quite a lot) and this command : mtxrun --script fonts —reload Works fine with this one based on fontconfig: fc-cache -v -f I don’t remember to have used this for years. ConTeXt AFAIK doesn’t use fontconfig. (LilyPond does...) There is some adaptation in the transition from Linux to MacOS, because one has to play and to look for the fonts paths which are a bit different with Mac than the Unix paths … Of course, but that is basic MacOS knowledge and not specific to ConTeXt. You might want to set: OSFONTDIR='/System/Library/Fonts//:/Library/Fonts//:~/Library/Fonts//:/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Fonts// #:~/FontExplorer\ X/Font\ Library//' ICCPROFILES='~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles//:/Library/ColorSync/Profiles//:/System/Library/ColorSync/Profiles//:' PATH=~/lmtx/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin:/Library/TeX/texbin:...

Hans offered to give a Q session again – please announce subjects you’d like to discuss ASAP, so that he can prepare. I’d suggest to have a look at the recent changes to learn how they might affect us: math font settings, bars, some outdated modules, low-level stuff... [Howto] * No special software installation required; most modern browsers should work (WebRTC required). * Open the above URL, accept the privacy statement, * enter your name, * click "join" (or "start" if you’re the first), * click "with microphone", allow your browser to access it, check the audio. (Some strings might be different, I see the German interface, you should get the main language of your browser.) * Your microphone is muted if you join. Activate microphone and/or camera with the buttons at the bottom. * Minimize the default presentation with the "screen" button, bottom right. * If you’d like to share your screen or upload a file, you can make yourself the presenter: Click on your user name, change the setting, then you’ll see the "screen sharing" button beside the camera button; also there’s now "manage presentations" behind the "plus" button. Beware there is only one presenter, so don’t kill someone else’s presentation. [Technical hints] * Sound is usually better if you use a headset (less noise for everyone). * Connection problems are mostly due to low bandwidth or high latency on your side, e.g. with mobile connections. * If audio/video doesn’t work for you, you can still use the text chat. * Screen sharing needs a lot of bandwidth. * You can also join with a regular telephone (audio only, of course), call +49-6151-86275-22 (German landline); then you must enter a PIN that changes every time – if you need it, ask me for it via email. Mute/unmute your microphone with "0". [Netiquette] * Please use a name that we recognize from here. Some feel uncomfortable with anonymous lurkers. * Mute your microphone while you’re not talking. * It’s nice to show your face at least when you join. * If there are connection problems, stop camera sharing. * The room is set to “everyone’s a moderator“, I trust you...

As it stands, you can nest \underbars inside \underbars and \overstrikes inside
\overstrikes and \overbars inside \overbars, but no other combinations work.
Interoperability between these (as well as \underdot, \underdash, \underrandom

\startbar[under,over,strikethrough] ... \stopbar ?

You can’t nest modes in \startmode ... \stopmode.

Maybe it helps to use additional grouping with {}, \bgroup .. \egroup or

I'd always thought of proportional versus tabular rather than > proportional + tabular. You’re right, tabular numbers are nonproportional. I meant versal (“normal”) numbers in opposite of oldstyle (mediaeval) numbers.

I don’t doubt that you’re right. I was probably tinkering until the result fitted my needs. Or the font has wrong features...

So am playing > around with the roffset to adjust that. It might make sense to use a different number style for paginations – most fonts set unproportional tabular numbers as default, in this case proportional tabular numbers make sense. That will affect the spacing around the 1 – don’t know if it solves your case. Example from one of my projects: \definefontfeature[ptabnum][default][ onum=no,pnum=yes,tnum=yes, ] \definefontfeature[tabnum][default][ onum=no,pnum=no,tnum=yes, ] Hraban ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

[NTG-context] Regular online meet-up
You’re invited to join next Tuesday, November 9th, 15:00 CET (UTC+1) at https://lecture.senfcall.de/hen-rbr-rku-oke ConTeXt users of all levels are welcome! Hans offered to give a Q session again – please announce subjects you’d like to discuss ASAP, so that he can prepare. From my part: I will show off the novel that I’m sending to the printshop tomorrow. Typeset with extreme HZ... A first run of these 332 pages needed just 33s on my old Mac – ConTeXt LMTX is fast! (In comparison: a first latexmk run of my short DTK article about the ConTeXt meeting, using the DTK LaTeX class, needed more than a minute. My ConTeXt book though, now at 298 pages and using *all* the features, needs ~8 min for a first run.) Also, I’m playing with different SyncTeX parsers for a LaTeX project, maybe there’s something to show/discuss next week. (SyncTeX *is* convenient with bigger projects! Using MuPDF lib, it should even be possible to combine SyncTeX information with PDF annotations to get corrections from PDF into ConTeXt sources...) [Howto] * No special software installation required; most modern browsers should work (WebRTC required). * Open the above URL, accept the privacy statement, * enter your name, * click "join" (or "start" if you’re the first), * click "with microphone", allow your browser to access it, check the audio. (Some strings might be different, I see the German interface, you should get the main language of your browser.) * Your microphone is muted if you join. Activate microphone and/or camera with the buttons at the bottom. * Minimize the default presentation with the "screen" button, bottom right. * If you’d like to share your screen or upload a file, you can make yourself the presenter: Click on your user name, change the setting, then you’ll see the "screen sharing" button beside the camera button; also there’s now "manage presentations" behind the "plus" button. Beware there is only one presenter, so don’t kill someone else’s presentation. [Technical hints] * Sound is usually better if you use a headset (less noise for everyone). * Connection problems are mostly due to low bandwidth or high latency on your side, e.g. with mobile connections. * If audio/video doesn’t work for you, you can still use the text chat. * Screen sharing needs a lot of bandwidth. * You can also join with a regular telephone (audio only, of course), call +49-6151-86275-22 (German landline); then you must enter a PIN that changes every time – if you need it, ask me for it via email. Mute/unmute your microphone with "0". [Netiquette] * Please use a name that we recognize from here. Some feel uncomfortable with anonymous lurkers. * Mute your microphone while you’re not talking. * It’s nice to show your face at least when you join. * If there are connection problems, stop camera sharing. * The room is set to “everyone’s a moderator“, I trust you... Next time will be December 14th.
