[NTG-context] Part label and chapter numbers

This is a Mark IV issue rather than LMTX, and while it is almost certainly simple enough, I seem to have got myself confused and am not getting the results I need. essentially I am dealing with a book that is divided into parts and chapter, but the parts need to be called 'Section' not 'Part',

[NTG-context] upcoming lmtx

Hi, I'm playing with future font trickery and as a consequence touching some low level font code. Now, of course we want to be compatible but it might be that I mess up something the process. At some point I'll do a more drastic split in the code paths (because when we use these new tricks

Re: [NTG-context] A not so short introduction to ConTeXt Mark IV

This is a great resource which I am at the moment enjoying to read but I can't help wondering if there is a text aimed at those who already know LaTeX and know the basics of TeX describing ConTeXt in terms of differences (and similarities) between the two, and in particular the gotchas. --

Re: [NTG-context] SILE typesetter and other projects

Hi Denis. SILE seems interesting, aslo Patoline. However, I think both of these are very immature, and I feel somewhat puzzled by the authors of SILE when they say that you can't do grid typesetting on TeX without horrible hacks, blatantly ignoring ConTeXt's achievements on the matter. If you

Also thank you! Patoline is partly LaTeX based, Speedata Publisher uses LuaTeX, and I know of troff and XSL/FO. I’d be interested to hear about experiences with other code based typesetting engines (besides ConTeXt and LaTeX), since I used LinoSetting and 3B2 in earlier days. A healthy and

Re: [NTG-context] Text editor support via Digestif

You would set DIGESTIF_TEXMF to the (list of) directory(ies) containing the ls-R file(s). However, I gather from Hans's comment that lmtx does not have the ls-R files. So something lmtx-specific has to be added to Digestif. Best, Augusto On Sun, Jan 3, 2021 at 11:21, Saša Janiška wrote:
