Not sure I’m getting your point.
But this should show a difference in font size:
\definenote[Mynote]
\starttext
\color[green]{\tfd hello \Mynote{refrence} not really required}
\switchtobodyfont[36pt]
\color[green]{hello \Mynote{refrence} not really required}

Could you show how the second paragraph above doesn‘t inherit both size
and color from the current font?
Sorry, otherwise I simply don’t get it.

I don’t think the text command value is right.
Besides, if you intend the second paragraph from the sample, this
approach looks unnecessarily complex for me.
I hope it might help,

[NTG-context] Re: missing space with French quotation
I have *never* understood how this works and, in fact, have always done
weird stuff like explicitly putting a nbps before double punctuation
(:;) in my document sources. I do this as it makes the sources much
more readable, preventing my text editor from ever breaking lines
before the punctuation (and not having some space in the source looks
awkward when reading French text).
I use:
\setupcharacterspacing
[frenchpunctuation]
[language=fr]
\mainlanguage [fr]
\setcharacterspacing [frenchpunctuation] % why necessary?
\setupitemize [symbol=2] % dash rather than bullet
This gives proper spacing with \quotation{} and with \startquotation
... \stopquotation. Also, {\en\quotation{}} and {\de\quotation{}} in
the document correctly do not add spaces.
Is \setupquotation[symstyle=\resetcharacterspacing]
necessary?

Hi Christoph,
as far as I know (and as Hraban has already mentioned), this is not
possible.
Either XSLT or pandoc would be a way to do that.
That being said, I would avoid conversion (a second source) in all cases.
I use ConTeXt to typeset XML sources typing Markdown sources.
pandoc generates XML and then ConTeXt typesets these XML sources.

Different spaces are Unicode characters. As entities, or

I don’t mean the proofreader personally, but TeX code may not be
inherenlty more readable that XML code.
Compile the following:
\starttext
\startXML
St.Martin
A comprehensive treatise
The medieval part of the church
\stopXML
\startTEX
\starttext
\startchapter[title=St.\, Martin] \stopchapter
\startsection[title=The medieval part of the church]\stopsection
\stoptext
\stopTEX
\stoptext
I think that a text editor with reasonable highlighting for XML is key
to your issue.
I mean, XML sources tend to be highlighted leaving pure text as
uncolored and unformatted (no bold or italics).
In that case, I think the text to be proofread may be recognized as not
having any format at all (besides not enclosed inside "<" and ">").
> And now a second approach to my question:
> Are all these \startxmlsetups like '\startxmlsetup xml:chapter'

No, these are formatting commands after the mapping.
In short, there are three steps involved in XML typesetting.
First, you select which elements you would like to select from the XML
source in an XML setup (with a mapping to your configuration commands).
Second, you register this XML setup.
Third, your configure the selected elements with ConTeXt commands.
Here is a sample (using a buffer instead of an external file):
\startbuffer[demo]
line 1
line 2
line 3
\stopbuffer
\starttext
\startxmlsetups abc:def
\xmlsetsetup{#1}{foo|bar}{xyz:*}
\stopxmlsetups
\xmlregistersetup{abc:def}
\startxmlsetups xyz:foo
\xmlflush{#1}
\stopxmlsetups
\startxmlsetups xyz:bar
\startparagraph
\xmlflush{#1}
\stopparagraph
\stopxmlsetups
\xmlprocessbuffer{main}{demo}{}
\stoptext
First of all, XML has no hardcoded names for any element (from a certain
point of view, XML are only rules on how to use the "<>" tags).
This is why, and are perfectly valid element names (although
they have no meaning for people).
Second, the mapping may use any name for destination setups.
\xmlsetsetup does the mappings, the second group of parentheses contains
the lpath (an Lua version of XPath [how XML is selected]) and the third
group of parentheses is setups.
The command \xmlsetsetup{#1}{foo|bar}{xyz:*} above is bound to existing
elements (or paths) in the XML source, but both "xyz:foo" and "xzy:bar"
may read as the user wants.
Third, after that you need specify the setup for each mapping (or it
won’t appear in your final document).
The setup is what you defined as the second part of the mapping, may it
be "xml:title" or "xyz:bar".
Nothing here is hardcoded. XML is not HTML (elements with meaning).
In order to deal with XML, ConTeXt has to provide the tools to select
elements (and more complex constructs) and map them to configurable setups.
How both tools (construct selection and setup configurations) may be
deployed, this is up to each individual.
Hardcoding this would be a real problem in the short run.

Thank you for your suggestion. Along with your suggestion and that of Wolfgang
I get what I need. I thought I was sending to the list but I copied and pasted
from an email and didn’t realise that Wolfgang was included. I have only ever
written to the list many years ago.
I haven’t typeset a book before and various things are a challenge. The most
recent is the following.
I have \placelistoffigures some of which are logos (for the publisher and two
granting bodies) that I have placed with:
\setupcaptions[number=no]
\starttplacefigure[
location={middle,high,low},
reference=fig:logo,
title=]
{\externalfigure[FCLogo][width=0.045\textwidth]}
\stopplacefigure
These are not part of the text and I don’t want them to appear in the list.
The caption for the logo doesn’t appear in the List of Figures but the page
number does. How can I prevent these particular graphics from being listed in
the List of figures.
Thanks,
Charlie

Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang. I tend to forget that I have always compact fonts enabled by default. Only enabling or disabling it, compilation with sample goes from 2.6s when enabled to 3.2s when disabled (using --purgeall) Without your help, I would have been never detected this.

[NTG-context] wrong font scaling in LMTX?
Dear list,
I have the following sample:
\definefontfamily[mainface][rm][TeX Gyre Pagella]
\definefontfamily[mainface][ss][TeX Gyre Heros]
[scale=0.125]
\setupbodyfont[mainface]
\starttext
\startTEXpage[pagestate=start, offset=1em]
\rm a\ss a\\
{\rm a\ssd a}\\
{\rm a\ssx a}\\
{\rm a\ssxx a}
\stopTEXpage
\stoptext
Scaled \ssx and \ssxx are wrong in LMTX (not scaled at all).
All font sizes are scaled fine in MkIV.
In both cases, I‘m running latest from 2024.05.17 16:32.
Could anyone confirm the issue?
BTW, this is the first time I indent the sample sent to the list with a
single character (one tab) instead of two or four spaces.
If the sample is wrong displayed in the medium you use with the mailing
list, please tell me and I will go back to spaces instead of tabs.
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

Your guidance are most welcome :-)
you have to fight several issues:
- parshapes being reset at the end paragraph (handled here by luametatex

- parshapes operate on lines, not dimension (i might add an aletnative
one day)
- you use a bit old mechanism (checkout the luametafun-paragraphs chapter)
Now, is there a solution? It really depends on the circumstances, so
here is one.

\startshapedparagraph[mp=shape:1]%
\setupalign[verytolerant,stretch]%
\hpos{test}{!}\samplefile{tufte}
\samplefile{tufte}
\stopshapedparagraph

The "test" position is hard coded but should be namespaced, the ! can be
a \strut instead.
So, more thinking from the end of the text flow.

Just a comment about typescripts.
At least in how I use ConTeXt, I live happily without having to use them.
See the following sample:
\definefontfamily[libertin][rm][Libertinus Serif]
\definefontfamily[libertin][ss][Libertinus Sans]
\definefontfamily[libertin][tt][Libertinus Mono]
\definefontfamily[cormora][rm][Cormorant]
\setupbodyfont[cormora]
\starttext
\input zapf\par
\switchtobodyfont[libertin]
\doloopoverlist{\rm,\ss,\tt}
{\recursestring\input zapf\par}
\stoptext
You may define font families (which are actually typeface families).
I think they may be easier to use than typefaces.
Just in case it might help,
Pablo

Hi Miguel,
this should work (also in the sense of a minimal sample):
\showframe\showgrid
\defineframedtext[FunnyText]
[frame=on, align=flushright,location=right]
\def\FrameTitle#1%
{\setMPtext{FunnyFrame}
{\hbox spread 1em{\hss\strut \color[blue]{\tfx Apartado #1}\hss}}}
\define[2]\firstHeadings{%
\dontleavehmode \switchtobodyfont[miCorm]%
\FrameTitle#1%
\startFunnyText
{\switchtobodyfont[miCorm,20.7pt] #2}
\stopFunnyText}
\setuphead [section] [command=\firstHeadings, indentnext=no]
\starttext
\startsection[title=a]
b
\stopsection
\startsection[title=a]
b
\stopsection
\startsection[title=a]
b
\stopsection
\stoptext
BTW, you inadvertely introduce the space here:
\define[2]\firstHeadings{%
\dontleavehmode \switchtobodyfont[miCorm]%
\FrameTitle#1%
Unless you comment the space after the right bracket, it will be
included in your definition of first headings.
As for external downloads, better avoid unless required.
In any case, the minimal code should be part of your message.
Just in case it helps,
Pablo

[NTG-context] How to place text, but make it completely hidden from viewers?
I have found a few situations is confusing/breaking ConTeXt:
- Footnotes inside tables, figures, frames, margins (won't render the cited
item).
- Custom index items inside those items (displays "entry not flushed").
My workaround has been to define a size 0 font \tfz, then put it in a block
like this:
{\tfz% \starteffect[hidden]%
\cite[author1912] \stopeffect%
}%
The problem this seems to create, is sometimes if placed between two passages,
it interprets a need to create two paragraph breaks:
\input knuth
{\tfz% \starteffect[hidden]%
\cite[author1912] \stopeffect%
}%
\input knuth
It creates a paragraph break after the first knuth, then another after the
hidden text, thereby creating a "double spaced" break between two paragraphs.
Note the above code is used in many macros, so I don't have full control always
where it appears, but its making the double-spaced break everywhere.
Is there either (1) something can enter before this code that essentially has
the effect of "backup to the previous paragraph" or (2) some other method of
hiding text that makes it present on the page, but just not visible to the
reader, that won't create a double spaced break, or take up any space
what-so-ever?

changes all of the dates to say "1540" (or whatever date was used first).

Thanks for this solution. I've had a quick look, and it seems to do exactly
what I need. My requirements are rather simple at the moment, but that should
be sufficient, but to repeat Hraban's question: What would be the advantage of
using the format module?

Footnotes apply the \tx style to the number in the running text and to
get the same text size with \high you need \tx before the argument.
Another solution is to create your own \high command where you set the
text size as default value but now you have to pass \txx as value
because by default \high already uses style=\tx. When you now combine
the default \tx from \high and the \tx from the footnote you get the
\txx size (which is used in the custom \high command).
begin example
\definehigh[fakenotesymbol][style=\txx]
\starttext
\startlines
test\footnote{\unknown}
test\high{\tx 1}
test\fakenotesymbol{1}
\stoplines
\stoptext
end example

I was just wondering why the \par seems to have no effect. (I first guessed that it might be related to XML, to but then realized it happens with context markup as well. Usually, you won't run into this because an empty line works, but with XML that's not am option.) As you've said, it looks like a bug then. The lines environment treats each line of the input as paragraph by adding \par at the end of it and adding another \par makes no difference here. BTW: ConTeXt has a module for poems which can be loaded with \usemodule[format]. Wolfgang Ok. I'll have a look at this module. Just two questions: 1. so did this behavior change? 2. What is inbetween referring to then? If each line is a paragraph, what's this group of paragraphs then? Can you manually switch to the next one? The inbetween setting works because ConTeXt checks at the start of each line whether it's empty (in this case the value is used) or not. When you add a \par you just end the current line/paragraph and it doesn't matter how many \par's you use because TeX just ignores them. Wolfgang I see. But there's no command that could be used to simulate an empty line? If not, me should I perhaps try to replicate the wrapper structure from the XML source in context? (I'll also look into the format module of course.) What do you think? Thank you so much for your help.

Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang.
I tried this approach (I hope it isn’t wrong):
\starttext
\expanded\tolerant\def\MyCommand#_#,#_#,#_#,#_{%
\doiftextelse{#4}%
{#4}
{\doiftextelse{#3}

\MyCommand{}{second}{third}{fourth} e,\\
\MyCommand{}{second}{third},\\
\MyCommand{}{second}{third} e,\\
\MyCommand{}{second},\\
\MyCommand{}{second} e,\\
\stoptext
BTW, this is the first time I see #_ instead of #1.
There is no way to search for "#_" in the wiki.
Grepping the source, "#_" seems to be used for optional arguments
(mainly in syst-aux.mkxl).
But what are these "#_" (which don’t seem to come from TeX)?
Many thanks for your help,

[NTG-context] Re: Why don't footnotes appear in floats or figures?
Okay, I've been trying many things with this \startpostponing code--if I
understand what's happening, its moving the figures to a later page. I'm not
sure that's quite ideal, its not fully working with my actual documents, and
leaves lots of empty white space, when I'm already in a situation where I need
to reduce page count.
So I thought an alternative route:
(1) have a code that checks "what is current footnote number?" that sets that
as a variable
\def\currentfoodnote{\somevariableincontextthatgetsfoodnotenumber}
(2) adjust my placefigure macro such that the footnote is outside the
placefigure, but color it white so its invisible:
\define\showafigure{
\cite[author2019]<--somehow hide this invisible
\placefigure{Caption\superscript{\currentfootnote}}}{\externalfigure[cow][width=\textwidth]}
<--this places a superscript number inside the caption, but it isn't the true
marker(3) in the caption, place a superscript number with value to
\currentfootnoteIts basically a fake footnote, just a superscript number of the
same value as the real footnote.
Shouldn't this result work? Any idea how I can get current footnote value?

Hi Joel,
the bibliography part doesn’t work for me at all.
But notes may be placed as their location is text (and you add a real
footnote).
This works fine:
\setupnote[footnote][location=text]
\starttext
\input knuth
\footnote{Footnote}
\cite[clark1989]
\placenotes[footnote]
\startchapter[title=Bibliography]
\placelistofpublications
\stopchapter
\stoptext
I never used a bibliography in ConTeXt, so that part is left to you.
I hope it helps,
Pablo

you need to consider the complications of such notes ...
- tex needs to take the notes into account when determining a page break
- it does so by the insert mechanism
- when floats can't be placed they also become inserts (top and bottom)
- when there are inserts in inserts th eproblem becomes more complex (so
notes inside floats)
- in traditional tex deeply burried inserts disappearm less so in lmtx
There are things that are hard to get right. This works:
\startpostponing
\startplacefigure[location=here,title={test \footnote{oeps 1}}]
\blackrule[width=1tw]
here
\footnote{hello 1} and
\footnote{hello 2} and
\footnote{hello 3} done
\stopplacefigure
\stoppostponing
\dorecurse{10}{\samplefile{tufte}\par}
Because here the inserts (notes) will migrate but even then one can get
them out of order (unless we renumber, which then is sensitiev for
oscillation).
I occasionally wonder if top floats could be done more directly but
bottom notes still would have an out-of-sync problem

Because here the inserts (notes) will migrate but even then one can get
them out of order (unless we renumber, which then is sensitiev for
oscillation).
I occasionally wonder if top floats could be done more directly but
bottom notes still would have an out-of-sync problem

[NTG-context] Why don't footnotes appear in floats or figures?
I'm three days out from sending my work to an editor, and found some serious problem: many footnotes just aren't rendering. I have a history text that uses ConTeXt-SBL for the citations, as such, it has lots of footnotes. Sometimes the footnotes are just in the main text, but sometimes also in figure captions, inside floats, inside tables that are inside floats, inside tabulations inside floats, etc. What I find alarming is it is frequently not rendering all of the footnote messages at the bottom of the page. The actual footnote number within the body is rendered, but no number is listed in at the bottom of the page. So I might see a list of footnotes, for instance, on page 1, I only get footnotes 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6, but 4 was mysteriously skipped. ---1 message2 message3 message5 message6 message After a lot of trial-and-error and checking logs and checking my BibTeX files for errors, running everything through BibTex Tidy, etc., and failures to make a minimum working example, I found a single pattern: If the footnote marker appears on the SAME page as the footnote text, it has no problem rendering the footnote. But, if ConTeXt decides to move a float a page or two later on--as it frequently seems to do---such that the footnote marker and footnote text at bottom of page should be on DIFFERENT pages, the footnote message at the bottom of the page won't render. I've seen some 2+ year old mailing list posts suggesting ConTeXt might have issues with footnotes; they appear to be similar to my issue--is that still a problem? Is there a fix or workaround? Old fixes I could finding in the mailing list don't seem to work with current versions of ConTeXt anymore. --Joel___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / https://mailman.ntg.nl/mailman3/lists/ntg-context.ntg.nl webpage : https://www.pragma-ade.nl / https://context.aanhet.net (mirror) archive : https://github.com/contextgarden/context wiki : https://wiki.contextgarden.net ___

There are no minwidth/minheight values for \externalfigure.

It seems that you can place the figures somehow
(https://www.pragma-ade.nl/general/qrcs/setup-en.pdf#page=169):
See the extreme example:
\showframe\showgrid\showstruts
\setupexternalfigures
[location={local,global,default}]
\starttext
\placefigure{A Cow}{\externalfigure[cow][
height=.5\textheight,
]}
\placefigure{A Cow}{\externalfigure[cow][
height=.3\textheight,
%height=.4\textheight,
]}
\placefigure{A Cow}{\externalfigure[cow][
width=3cm,
%width=2cm,
]}
\placefigure[inleft]{A Cow}{\externalfigure[cow][width=2cm]}
\placefigure[inright]{A Cow}{\externalfigure[cow][width=2cm]}
\stoptext
Just in case it helps,
Pablo

Hi Denis,
maximum widht or height work fine, but their minimum counterparts seem
not to be working at all:
\showframe
\starttext
\doloopoverlist{none, width, height, maxwidth, maxheight}
{\externalfigure[cow.pdf][\recursestring=.125\textwidth]}
\page
\doloopoverlist{none, width, height, minwidth, minheight}
{\externalfigure[cow.pdf][\recursestring=.33\textwidth]}
\stoptext
Just to confirm the issue,
Pablo

Hi again,
just a quick follow up on this one. Can anyone reproduce this?
Would be good to know how this can be fixed. I have this in a real document,
and as I'm typesetting a XML source I cannot just adjust slightly adjust the
dimensions to get rid of that.

Betreff: Weird (?) float placement for specific widths of image
Hi,
another graphics/floats question: consider the following example
%
\setupexternalfigures
[location={local,global,default}]
\starttext
\placefigure{A Cow}{\externalfigure[cow][
height=.5\textheight,
]}
\placefigure{A Cow}{\externalfigure[cow][
height=.3\textheight,
%height=.4\textheight,
]}
\placefigure{A Cow}{\externalfigure[cow][
width=3cm,
%width=2cm,
]}
\placefigure{A Cow}{\externalfigure[cow][width=2cm]}
\placefigure{A Cow}{\externalfigure[cow][width=2cm]}
\stoptext%
On the first page, the images appear stacked above each other while on the
second page they appear next to each other.
It took me some time to reproduce this behaviour, and I can't claim to
understand what is happening. But it seems to be related to the specific
widths of the images. When I change them to other values the behaviour
disappears. Is this a bug? Anything I can do about this?
Best
Denis

[NTG-context] How to isolate serious errors from warnings?
I'm about to have a lengthy (2,000+ page) document published. Normally if it compiles and looks okay, I regard that as meaning no errors appeared, but I've noticed that sometimes ConTeXt will still compile, even if something isn't displayed on screen as it should: (1) I tried placing a table inside a startitemize environment, as instead of it not compiling, it left a message in the document warning that wasn't supported. (2) In another case, I had an image that ConTeXt couldn't find, as I mispelled the filenmame, and it fully compiled and made a PDF, without me noticing. (3) Or maybe in some case, a font couldn't be found for a specific character, so a single character in the file isn't displaying. Those are just some examples; I intended for something to be printed on the PDF, but it isn't showing there. Since a document of this size will have a lot of messages, is there a way to adjust the settings, from "show everything" to "show some" to "show only serious errors"? Or maybe to use > to send the errors to another file for careful study? (using Linux if that matters) --Joel ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / https://mailman.ntg.nl/mailman3/lists/ntg-context.ntg.nl webpage : https://www.pragma-ade.nl / https://context.aanhet.net (mirror) archive : https://github.com/contextgarden/context wiki : https://wiki.contextgarden.net ___
