[NTG-context] Re: outlinetext broken?
As for the current ConTeXt, the example above still produces the wrong
output. Can anyone reproduce this case? Thank you in advance.

Dear list,
I have the following sample:
\definefontfamily[mainface][tt][TeX Gyre Termes]
Apply the none feature when you set the monospace font, i.e.
\definefontfamily[...][tt][...][features=none]
Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang.
This solves the issue, but I have two questions.
Why is this only required for \inlinetypebuffer and not for \typebuffer?
Which is the exact font feature that does the hyphen ligatures?
I’m interested in not disabling hz and hanging.
\typebuffer disables automatic \endash and \emdash with the
\nohyphencollapsing command
but the command isn't used for \typeinlinebuffer.
\starttext
\type{--} = --
\nohyphencollapsing
\type{--} = --
\dohyphencollapsing
\type{--} = --
\stoptext

So, unfortunately while using `\testpage` helped in the version of the resume I
was working on at the time, I've encountered the error again now that some
different content is making the page break at a different point, and setting
`\testpage` as high as 6 is not fixing the problem. Is there something else I

Dear list, I have the following sample: \definefontfamily[mainface][tt][TeX Gyre Termes] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext \startbuffer context --purgeall \stopbuffer inline \typeinlinebuffer block: \typebuffer \stoptext As long as there is no defined font family for mono, \typeinlinebuffer doesn’t convert -- into an en-dash (the same way as \typebuffer behaves). But as in the sample above, when a font is defined for mono (at least with \definefontfamily), \typeinlinebuffer converts -- into en-dashes (different from \typebuffer). Sorry, but how could I fix this \typeinlinebuffer? This is important for me, since two hyphens is one of the most common ways to marks options when invoking programs (which I try to explain to others). BTW, \sciteinlinebuffer seems have the same problem (in the scite module).

[NTG-context] Font switching for titles and subtitle not working as expected ?
Hi,
I just jumbled upon this question on tex stackexchange :
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/715799/context-switching-font-for-both-title-and-subject#715804
Using the style key as suggested in the accepted answer works, but I've had a
look in to this, and I don't understand why the original code does not work.
I've also tried to find a solution using textcommand instead of command, but
that makes no difference. Only one setting will be accepted. As soon as both,
titles and subjects, are changed only the first change will be accepted.
Is this a bug, or am I missing something?
Best,
Denis

[NTG-context] Re: QR Code
Hi Ben,
I’m not sure if this is your issue, but the zint library’s API used to
change with every version, so that ConTeXt supports only the “latest”
few, and probably that’s still 2.10 to 2.12.
I still have 2.12 via MacPorts on MacOS 10.15, and it works.
Can you try an older zint version?
And just for information, MkIV used to call the zint binary, while LMTX
uses the library to create the structures and converts them via MP into
PDF objects (no additional files).

MkIV with \par works in your sample and LMTX with \par doesn’t. I wonder whether this might be a bug in LMTX. Just in case it might help, Thanks for your answer and sorry for not being clearer. 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?

There is nothing wrong, this is just a side effect of the scanner used

I tried this approach (I hope it isn’t wrong):

which check for the number of arguments you use doesn't matter in a

\ifarguments commands where you use \or to set a case for the number of
argument passed.
\protected\tolerant\def\MyCommand#_#,#_#,#_#,#_%
{\ifarguments
% no arguments are passed
\or
#1% one argument is passed
\or
#2% two arguments are passed
\or
#3% three arguments are passed
\or
#4% four arguments are passed
\fi}
\MyCommand{}{second}{third}{fourth},\\
\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)?
Hans added many additions to command parameters in Luametatex and #_
means the argument to a commands has to be enclosed in braces while #1
allows you to pass text without it.
In the following example \CommandA take in the first case "a" as
argument while CommandB ignores it and would only accept "{a}" with
braces around it.
begin example
\def\CommandA#1{(#1)}
\tolerant\def\CommandB#_{(#1)}
\starttext
\CommandA abc\par
\CommandB abc\blank
\CommandA {ab}c\par
\CommandB {ab}c\blank

You can find a list with all new command parameters in lowlevel-macros.pdf.

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.

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}
{#3}
{#2}}}
\MyCommand{}{second}{third}{fourth},\\
\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,
Pablo

I solved it, although it's kinda hacky. I'm pretty sure that

It always returns nil.

[NTG-context] Combine lua and btx setup, was: Re: Customize citation format of a bibliography (use the short form as reference format)
Here is a solution for the first part of my question. This is based on
https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg101156.html
and try and error based on publ-imp-aps.mkvi and publ-imp-apa.mkvi:
It display now the citation _and_ numbering labels in the short form:
```
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\startbuffer[testdata]
@Book{knuth1,
author = {Donald E. Knuth},
title = {TEX and METAFONT. New directions in typesetting},
year = {1979},
publisher = {Addison-Wesley},
}

author = {Some Person and Some Otherperson},
title = {Another title},
year = {1900},
}
\stopbuffer

\usebtxdataset[main][testdata.buffer]

\setupbtx[dataset=main]
\definebtxrendering[bibrendering][aps][dataset=main, numbering=short]
\setupbtxlist[aps][
alternative=b,

]
\setupbtx[aps:cite][alternative=short]
\starttext
Knuth developed \TeX \cite[knuth1]
Several persons said something \cite[someother].
\placelistofpublications[bibrendering]
\stoptext
```
The remaining part now is to mark publications of Knuth in a different way.
I have tried this and failed. Here is my code so far:
```
\startluacode
function render_cite(short, author)
print(author)
if author:lower():find("knuth") then
context("[>" .. short .. "]")
else
context("[" .. short .. "]")
end
end
\stopluacode
\definebtx[aps:cite:special][aps:cite]
\startsetups btx:aps:cite:special
\btxcitereference
\ctxlua{render_cite([==[\btxflush{year}]==], [==[\btxflush{author}]==])}
\stopsetups
% use it with \cite[special][knuth1]
```
This has several problems:
- \btxflush{short} does not work as I expected that. How can I get the short
form?
- \btxflush to pass arguments to lua does not work as intended. On the lua side
the
variable "author" resolves to "\btxflushauthor{author}" and not to "D. E.
Knuth".
How can I pass the data?
I use Lua only because I find it more convenient as a programming language. If a
plain tex solution is simpler, I'm happy to use that.
Another question that came up while studying the source code:
What effect have \c!, \s!, and \v!? These commands exist a lot in the above
cited files.

[NTG-context] Re: Why don't footnotes appear in floats or figures?
I've managed to get a minimum working example. If you check, you'll see the
5th footnote inside a placefigure doesn't render anywhere:
\starttext
\input knuth
\placefigure{Caption\footnote{message
A}}{\externalfigure[cow][width=\textwidth]}
\input knuth
\placefigure{Caption\footnote{message
B}}{\externalfigure[cow][width=\textwidth]}
\input knuth
\placefigure{Caption\footnote{message
C}}{\externalfigure[cow][width=\textwidth]}
\input knuth
\placefigure{Caption\footnote{message
D}}{\externalfigure[cow][width=\textwidth]}
\input knuth
\placefigure{Caption\footnote{message
E}}{\externalfigure[cow][width=\textwidth]}
\input knuth
\placefigure{Caption\footnote{message
F}}{\externalfigure[cow][width=\textwidth]}
\stoptext
Is this the correct way to be using the \startpostponing code (see example
below)?
\starttext
\input knuth
\startpostponing
\placefigure{Caption\footnote{message

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

I'm kind of satisfied with the publication-list layout of the APS style so I
chose
this as a base. If it is simpler to start with the APA style, I can do that.
My hope is that it is possible to just change the "label" that is used for
referencing and keep everything else as is.
> Is there some specification for your short tag-based citation style?
biblatex implements this with the "alphabetic" style. I'm not aware of
a specification, though. Does the "short" form in ConTeXt exist for a
specific reason? :)

[NTG-context] Re: Customize citation format of a bibliography (use the short form as reference format)
Hello,
The APS style is an example of a number-based citation system. As you
are looking for a tag-based citation, it might be better to start with
something like the APA style.
Is there some specification for your short tag-based citation style?

[NTG-context] Customize citation format of a bibliography (use the short form as reference format)
Hi,
I'm trying to customize a cite format in a bibliography. Currently, I'm using
the aps style which fits so far, except of the plain number as reference.
In concrete, I want to change the following:
- Use the first letter of the last name and the year as reference (this should
be exactly the short form). It is more less also described here [1].
- Highlight publications of a certain author with an extra char (e.g. '>')
Here is a minimal example (lets assume, every occurrence of Knuth should be
highlighted):
```
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\startbuffer[testdata]
@Book{knuth1,
author = {Donald E. Knuth},
title = {TEX and METAFONT. New directions in typesetting},
year = {1979},
publisher = {Addison-Wesley},
}
@Article{someother,
author = {Some Person and Some Otherperson},
title = {Another title},
year = {1900},
}
\stopbuffer
% enable tracing
\enabletrackers[publications, publications.crossref, publications.details,
publications.cite, publications.strings]
\usebtxdataset[main][testdata.buffer]
\usebtxdefinitions[aps]
\setupbtx[dataset=main]
\definebtxrendering[bibrendering][aps][dataset=main]
% this seems to have no effect?
\setupbtx[alternative=short]
\starttext
Knuth developed \TeX \cite[knuth1].
Several persons said something \cite[someother].
\placelistofpublications[bibrendering]
\stoptext
```
It should be rendered as:
```
Knuth developed TeX [>Knu79].
Several persons said something [PO00].
[Knu79] D.E. Knuth, TEX and METAFONT. New directions in typesetting
(Addison-Wesley, 1979).
[PO00] S. Person and S. Otherperson, Another title, (1900).
```
How can I achieve that \cite[something] always renders in the short form by
default?
How can I customize that references to Knuth contain this extra '>'?
How can I customize the APS style to also use the short form in the list of
publications instead of numbers?
Best

I made it work with Pulsar and the pdfjs-viewer plugin: The sourcecode of the plugin is broken but easily fixable: https://github.com/allefeld/atom-pdfjs-viewer/issues/15 Then pdf->tex works with synctex from TeX live, "--synctex=repeat" and a right click in the viewer.

Looking at two synctex files, it would seem that the state=repeat version creates a synctex file that has syntax matching the "original" synctex format. And you are right, the file is bigger. In any case, now that I know what is going on, I have convinced auctex to play nicely with the new way of doing things, and so all is now good. Question for anyone who made it down this far: Is there a mailing list or other way that a ConTeXt user can find out about non-backward-compatible changes like this? I wasted a fair amount of time tracking this problem down (*), and if there is some other mailing list I should be subscribed to, I'd love to know about it. (*) Unfortunately, this change to ConTeXt happened around the same time I upgraded emacs from 27.2 to 29.3, and when things didn't work I upgraded auctex from 13.

And should emacs+auctex+PDFview work now? What will work will depend on the viewers. We noticed a few weeks ago that synctex (pdf -> editor) was not working in a few viewers (okular) while it was working in others.

I don’t think so.
In some cases you may not get the ligature for a good reason:
\starttyping
program --option=value file.ext
\stoptyping
It would make no sense to get an en-dash there (but I guess you don’t
mean that).
But all OSes provide character maps to get single characters. And also
Unicodia works fine in Windows (https://mercury13.github.io/unicodia/,
just in case it might suit your needs).
Having a single character (emoji, dashes or whatever) is way more
readable than a character combination for a ligature or a TeX command.
This single-character approach also makes easier to copy and paste text
to other formats.

Just consider that you should add an horizontal box (or pair both space
and hyphen), otherwise you may get a line break between character and
hyphen (instead of the hair space):
\starttext
\startTEXpage[offset=2st]
\hsize\zeropoint
this —\hairspace or so\hairspace— that
this \hbox{—\hairspace}or so\hbox{\hairspace—} that
\stopTEXpage
\stoptext
Just in case it might help,

[NTG-context] context editor support / syntax highlighting for Pulsar
Hi Hans (et al.),
find attached a slightly extended version of the "interface" script that
can also generate the list of commands in cson format for Pulsar/Atom.
It just creates a basic list of commands for syntax highlighting; for a
complete plugin, "grammars" and "settings" are missing, see
https://codeberg.org/fiee/language-context
(Yes, this approach is oldfashioned and a plugin could do a lot more,
but I don’t speak TypeScript.)
The generated cson file is for "snippets", like in:
https://codeberg.org/fiee/language-context/src/branch/master/snippets/language-context.cson
There, I added information from the interface files and also from the
wiki, if existing. I don’t know how to do that in the lua script.
---
function flushers.pulsar(collected)
for interface, whatever in next, collected do
local commands = whatever.commands
local environments = whatever.environments
local result, r = { }, 0
r = r + 1 ; result[r] = "'.text.tex.context':\n"
for i=1,#commands do
r = r + 1 ; result[r] = format("\t'\\%s':\n",commands[i])
r = r + 1 ; result[r] = format("\t\tprefix:
'%s'\n",commands[i])
-- can we have some information?
--r = r + 1 ; result[r] = format("\t\tdescription: 'level:
primitive; interface: i-tex.xml'",'')
-- no URL if command starts with "stop"
r = r + 1 ; result[r] = format("\t\tdescriptionMoreURL:
'https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/%s'\n",commands[i])
end
io.savedata(format("language-context-%s.cson",interface),
concat(result),"\n")
end
end
---
Also, the "en" interface is empty, everything is in "common", so the
iteration over interfaces makes no sense here.
Actually, Atom/Pulsar could work with a tree sitter parser
(https://github.com/pmazaitis/tree-sitter-context), but I don’t know how
to use it.
[TextMate]
For TextMate and other editors that use TM bundles, it might make sense
to update https://github.com/pgundlach/context.tmbundle
At least the list of commands could be automatically converted from the
interface files, but it’s more involved than what mtx-interface does.
[Visual Studio Code / VSCodium]
BTW, is the ConTeXt language server for VS Code public anywhere?
(Ramkumar KB promised…) Or is "mtxrun --script=vscode --lsfile" the same?

[NTG-context] upload
Hi,
There is a new lmtx upload.
-- The svg inclusion via metapost has been upgraded and cleanup a bit,
using some more recent metapost features. There are some new (not yet
all documented metapost) features.
-- In the process, support for LCH colors has been added, which is
documented in the (eg luametafun manual).
-- The math manual is not yet there because we were distracted by
improving support for envelopes (penbased outlines) in metafun. This is
still work in progress, some is present and discussed in the manual, and
we'll come back to that sometime next month. Given the next item, we
also might need to change some in the manual (different focus).
-- Because we have users who have to conform to the European
Accessibility Act we have been wondering how to deal with that and at
Mikaels place there are two demands: distinctive colors and tagging and
especially math (somehow validators love to check that). Colors never
were an issue as they can be controlled, and tagging math neither,
especially because nothing was/is done with it anyway, but ... we are
happy that we found a reasonable (more modern and future proof) way out.
As explained / shown in the attached document we're basically forced to
choose a different approach with math (a pity as we worked hard to get
the rendering right but the attached file works fine in the viewers that
we tested).
-- We like to hear from users what other demands wrt accessibility there
are. We're not interested in the (commercial) big money aspects (of pdf
and tagging) nor in the politics behind it (changes over time). What are
the demands, so that we can see how to make it work or just work around
it (as it's kind of boring to cook uyp complex features , esp compared
to playing with metapost).
-- Furthermore .. the usual bits and pieces as discussed on the list and
otherwise.
-- If you have troubles (crash) you need to wipe the cache due to a
change in lua bytecode storage (no easy way to catch it).

We're done with math. After years of active development, Mikael and Hans have
decided to quit working on math, and concentrate on \METAPOST\ and handing over
to the next generation instead. We lost our user to the way more popular
alternative (frozen in stone standards). Also, we had it with suboptimal math
fonts, Unicode math not getting improved, MathML constantly being changed,
browsers dealing with math differently every few years, math archives getting
polluted with tons of useless tagged math.
There are other motivations, like the European union imposing strict rules with
respect to accessibility in educational content management systems, and Dutch
schools trying to get rid of math in favor of simple calculus, if at all. This
is
why the next iteration of the engine will no longer have a math engine:
MathLessTeX. Of course, in the beginning \MLTX\ will be compatible with \LMTX,
because we owe that to the users and we need to prototype the new engine anyway.
In order to get an idea of how we will get rid of the disturbing formulas, you
can load the module:
\starttyping
\usemodule[math-goodriddance]
\stoptyping
Until becoming the default setting, the command \typ {\goodriddancemath} will
bring you into \MLTX\ mode while \typ {\badriddancemath} will bring you back to
the obsolete \LMTX\ mode. Like:
\startbuffer
\usemodule[math-goodriddance] \goodriddancemath
Who wants to solve the equation \m {x + 1 = 4} or deal with the function \m {x
\mapsto
\root [3] {x}}, when we have AI around the corner to help us out with simple
and silly
things like the Pythagorean theorem: \m {a^2 + b^2 = c^2}, or even with more
advanced
math like geometric series: \m {\sum_{k = 0}^{+\infty} x^k = 1/(1 - x)}?
We will not support complicated nonsense stuff like:
\startplaceformula
\startformula
F__{1}{2}(a,b;b;z) = (1 - z)^{-a}
\stopformula
\stopplaceformula
When developing this Hans' Swedish improved a lot. {\language[sv] Den lilla del
av
befolkningen som handlar på IKEA och tittar på fåniga krimserier förstår kanske
detta:
\im {\sqrt {x + 1} = \sin(4 + y)}!}
\stopbuffer
\typebuffer[option=TEX]
Which gives us the beautifully typeset:
\startcolor[darkblue] \getbuffer \stopcolor
We hope that the highly respected Swedish Academy will consider our prose in
their upcoming evaluations. Our first submission to the leading \TEX\ journal

[NTG-context] Re: Unknown units es and dk
Jan Ulrich Hasecke via ntg-context schrieb am 23.03.2024 um 13:57: I saw this in (the btw great) bachotex-stepbystep presentation \definepapersize [example] [width=8.5es, height=11es] \setuptextbackground [location=paragraph, backgroundcolor=MyColors:4, backgroundoffset=1dk, frame=off] The units "es" and "dk" are unknown to me.

Here is the fitting error message when you pass a dimension too large for TeX: Dimension too large", I can't work with sizes bigger than about 19 feet (45 Theodores as of 2023), 575 centimeters, Toves, 230 Ediths or 16383 points. Continue and I'll use the largest value I can. You should also take a look at the lowlevel register manual (lowlevel-registers.pdf) which explains how you can define your own units.

[NTG-context] issue with \xmlinlineprettyprinttext
Dear list,
I have the following sample:
\startbuffer[demo]
a --b c
a --b c
\stopbuffer
\startxmlsetups xml:initialize
\xmlsetsetup{#1}{doc|code|inlinecode}{xml:*}
\stopxmlsetups
\xmlregistersetup{xml:initialize}
\startxmlsetups xml:doc
\xmlflush{#1}
\stopxmlsetups
\startxmlsetups xml:code

[features={default, quality}]
\setupbodyfont[mainface]
\starttext
\xmlprocessbuffer{main}{demo}{}
\type{a --b c}
\stoptext
Using current latest (from 2024.03.11 09:34), LMTX transforms "--" in
"–" (en-dash) only with \xmlinlineprettyprinttext (LuaTeX writes the
en-dash in the three cases).
This issue has been driving me crazy, since it took me a while what was
different here.
Is there something I can do to get \xmlinlineprettyprinttext as
\xmlprettyprinttext in this point?
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

Oh, I see. So, I should really try to get something out. It is
difficult to find enough time working on it, in particular since Hans
is always adding new (not only math) stuff, but I will try. It is fun
to participate in the development, and I do not want to delay it
(somebody has to push him and test, and so on...)
But I should probably get something out, even if that is not really
finished/polished. All the basics are there. Then it can be a
work-in-progress document, adding/modifying new stuff.
Yes, please! The version that you gave me a year ago is already really
interesting and helpful, and Hans’ manuals are also often "in progress".
A visible TODO marker might help – I’m using the following in my book to
keep track of incomplete sections:
\defineregister[todos]
\define[1]\TODO{\inouter{\tt\color[red]{TODO}}\expanded{\todos{\structurevariable{title}}}\color[red]{\bf
#1}\autoinsertnextspace}

\startsection[title=Lists]
\TODO{Research the options of \tex{setupitemgroup}!}
\stopsection
…
\startchapter[title=Work list]
Sections that still need work.\blank
\placetodos
\stopchapter
So I get a prominent marker in the content and the title of the affected
section as an index.
There have been many changes along the way, and maybe at some time
some things were not really working, but later fixed.
I thought so, too.
For promotion I’d like to have a few examples where the difference
between TeX/LaTeX default rendering and new ConTeXt rendering is visible.

Thanks Hans, I was not familiar with those. The above code worked fine for
me in plain TeX (the last time I used it, anyway).
By the looks of things, Max has a vastly better idea of ConTeXt internals
than I do, and if his proposed \pgfutil@emu@rgb doesn't break anything, it
might give some confidence that the above \pgfutil@emu#cmyk won't either.
(Yeah, I know, that is hardly a robust argument of anything.)

I hope that time doesn't come, because either someone (you? :-) would be
left with an on-going job of patching the snapshot, or ConTeXt's version of
tikz would become increasingly different (and, presumably, increasingly
less capable than the "mainline" version).
Cheers.

[NTG-context] Re: how to include an an svg file?
another matter because svg dropped glyph support so now
everything has to go through font features which in turn means that if
one uses svg as output format one has to specify every character with
possible abuse of a substitution feature that accesses it. So that is
no longer a real interesting option, unless of course one exports all
text as curves, just to be sure.
(I will extend general text suport but it will always be suboptimal
but then, svg is not a long term archival format anyway.)
No upload yet as i also want to do some cleanup,
ps. For metapost lovers, here is some of the trickery used:
\startMPpage[offset=1ts]
draw image (
fill (unitsquare xscaled 10cm yscaled 4cm)
withcolor svgcolor(0.5,0,0)
;
registerluminositygroup ("test") (
fill (unitsquare scaled 2cm) shifted (1cm,1cm)
withshademethod "circular"
withshadecolors (.6,.1)
) ;
applyluminositygroup ("test") (
fill (unitsquare scaled 2cm) shifted (1cm,1cm)
withshademethod "circular"
) ;
draw luminositygroup (
fill (unitsquare scaled 2cm) shifted (4cm,1cm)
withshademethod "circular"
withshadecolors (.6,.1)
) (
fill (unitsquare scaled 2cm) shifted (4cm,1cm)
withshademethod "circular"
) ;
draw luminosityshade (
(unitsquare scaled 2cm) shifted (7cm,1cm)
) (
withshademethod "circular"
withshadecolors (.6,.1)
) (
withshademethod "circular"
) ;
) ;
\stopMPpage
Not that intuitive and a bit ugly deep down but it works (there was no
need to extend mp btw as we already have graphic grouping in the engine).

[NTG-context] Re: PDF, runner, and TikZ patches
Max (et al),
were you hoping the ConTeXt distribution would ship its own
pgfutil-context.def, or were you hoping that someone could convince Henri
to put the RGB change in?
And, if anyone has the will to push this (or add it in to a ConTeXt
distribution version), I'd still like the cmyk support, even if there is no
ability to specify colour profiles:
\def\pgfutil@emu@cmyk#1#2,#3,#4,#5\@nil
{
\pgfmathsetmacro{\@red@}{(1 - #2) * (1 - #5)}%
\pgfmathsetmacro{\@green@}{(1 - #3) * (1 - #5)}%
\pgfmathsetmacro{\@blue@}{(1 - #4) * (1 - #5)}%
\expandafter\edef\csname\string\color@#1\endcsname
{\noexpand\xcolor@ {}{}{rgb}{\@red@,\@green@,\@blue@}}
}
I don't see that it would hurt anything, even if it doesn't give complete
cmyk support.
Cheers.

[NTG-context] PDF, runner, and TikZ patches
Hi all,
I've had a few patches applied to my installation for a little while
now, so I figured that I should send them in. There's a diff at the end
of the email, and the modified files are attached [but rejected by the
mailing list, so sent separately to Hans]
* In the definition of "featurecreep()" in "lpdf-mis.lmt",
"structures.pages.tobesaved[i].status" should be "[...].state" to
match the definition of "pages.save" in "strc-pag.lua".
* For the "resultof" runner in "util-sbx.lmt", the current io.popen
mode only works with Windows. See the definition of "l_checkmodep" in
"liolib.c".
* Some of the pgfplots 3D shaders appear to be broken,
see https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/708121 .
* The TikZ "RGB" colour model does not currently work properly. This is
internally used by "\usepgfplotslibrary[colorbrewer]" among others.
See https://github.com/pgf-tikz/pgf/pull/1130 .
Thanks,

[NTG-context] Re: how to include an an svg file?
Hi Hraban & Seyal I can confirm that converting the *.svg file into a *.pdf file displays the colour shades correctly ... (I used Gimp to export the smile.svg file to a smile03.pdf file). The MWE below works correctly, even if you have to make finer adjustments to place the figure in a precise position on the page. As I'm in the process of enriching and clarifying a few pages of the ConTeXt wiki and the French wikibook, I'm interested in the details concerning the position of figures, images and photos etc. So please let me know (in private mail) how you make your documents (a MWE will do). \starttext \input tufte \externalfigure[smile03.pdf][conversion=mp] \stoptext It seems to me that Pablo has been struggling with the fine graining of PDF files in recent months, but I think it was more about the information contained in the PDF output than the processing of PDF images in *.tex file output.

[NTG-context] Creating a module for calligraphy practice templates
Hello, list! I've been working on a module to typeset calligraphy practice templates using ConTeXt and MetaPost. You are welcome to check it out on github: https://github.com/conradolandia/pauta I'm not including a MWE because the repository has all the current code. I hope this is fine. I did not want to clutter the list with too much text. The module is only a single file (t-pauta.mkxl) and some examples of use and documentation that are still somewhat unfinished, but I've tried to document the source code as much as I could. If you need clarification about anything, please let me know. (At the root of the repository, there is a file build.lua, that is not really part of the project, just a custom tool I use to process the files, a sort of minimal build system. You can ignore it.) I welcome any kind of suggestions and dire warnings. I've tried to read the wiki and the manuals carefully and made as many tests as possible, and in general it works fine, but I have ADHD and things frequently get over my head. There are still some things that don't work as they should, and things that need improvement: 1. I use top/bottom areas to display some info. These areas are not being handled properly so far. For example, if I place a chapter before the Pauta macro invocation, there will be data on the top and bottom areas in the last page of the chapter. I've tried using \page and clearing the areas, which feels like cheating, but still does not work well. Any ideas on how to better handle this are more than welcome. 2. I'm using what I found at https://wiki.contextgarden.net/System_Macros/Handling_Arguments and \getparameters to handle the arguments for my Pauta macro, but today I found out about \processaction at https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Module_Parameters and I'm not really sure if I should change my module to work with this instead of \getparameters. In general, after checking the source code of several modules, I'm not really sure how much I have to follow the guidelines at https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Module_Parameters or if those are the most current recommendations. 3. I'm including in my module the code of the file hatching.mp that can be found at https://ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/metapost/contrib/macros/hatching. I did this for portability reasons, since it's less than 70 lines and has not been updated in 20 years. But if it's better to have this in a separate file, please let me know. Also, if a better method to create pattern filled paths is available, please let me know, I confess I didn't look too much into it yet. This has solved my requirement so far. 4. I want to be as close as possible to the new LMTX syntax and way of doing things. so If you think I'm doing something in anachronistic ways, please let me know. In general, if someone wants to check it out and provide feedback so I can improve it, with the objective of eventually being shared on modules.contextgarden.net, will be much appreciated.

[NTG-context] \intertext and highlighting with \alignhere/\breakhere
Hi all,
Often I want to include a sentence/paragraph in the middle of a long
multipart formula. With the old \startalign/\stopalign formulas, I could
use \intertext{...} to do this, but this doesn't work with the new
\alignhere/\breakhere formulas. I've managed to find a "solution" for
this, although I'd prefer something a bit less hacky. Any ideas?
Also, is there a way to highlight an equation across an \alignhere? Once
again, I've found a "solution", but like before, it's pretty hacky.
Example files are attached.
Thanks,

[NTG-context] Re: How can I do this?
Hi Hans and Hraban,
Thank you both for your remarks: indeed I am aware of the commands \m{} and
\dm{} in ConTeXt, but for my work with math stuff I use the usual dollar signs
for inline maths, since in this way it is easier for me to read the source on
the one hand, and and on the hand when exchanging parts of a file with people
using Plain TeX or LaTeX, it is more standard.

\enableexperiments[fonts.compact]
Which seeems weird to me. Or at least, I thought I read that Hans
enabled it by default in LMTX.
AFAIR Hans uses the setting in his own documents.
I have been using it for a while.
I hope the issue with \glyphslant might be fixed to enable it again.
Then my question is whether this was caused by simply enabling compact
fonts or by doing it twice.
The results happen when you use compact mode and is a result of
\glyphslant which keeps the value of the italic style even when you
switch back to the upright style.
Many thanks for your explaination,
using the low level commands
\glyphscale
\glyphxscale
\glyphyscale
\glyphslant
\glyphweight
directly can have side efects when at an outer level these are also
set, so you need to accumulate, like
\starttext
test {\glyphscale 2000 test \glyphscale \numericscaled1.2\glyphscale
test} test
test {\glyphslant 500 test \glyphslant \numericscaled2.0\glyphslant
test} test
test {\glyphweight 100 test \glyphweight\numericscaled2.0\glyphweight
test} test
\stoptext
The problem is that compact mode uses them to apply the slanted feature
without any manual use of the commands from a user.
\enableexperiments[fonts.compact]
\definefontfamily[mainface][rm][TeX Gyre Termes]
[it={style:regular, features:{default,slanted}},
sl={style:regular, features:{default,slanted}}]
\setupbodyfont[mainface]
\starttext
\startstyle[style=italic]normal {\em emphasized} normal\stopstyle
\stoptext
The only way to mask the effect is to create a new fontfeature with the
minimum slant value and apply it to the upright style.
\definefontfeature [unslanted] [slant=0.001]
\definefontfamily[mainface][rm][TeX Gyre Termes]
[features={default,unslanted},
it={style:regular, features:{default,slanted}},
sl={style:regular, features:{default,slanted}}]
ok, i'll fix that (build is down so no update)

Which seeems weird to me. Or at least, I thought I read that Hans
enabled it by default in LMTX.
AFAIR Hans uses the setting in his own documents.
I have been using it for a while.
I hope the issue with \glyphslant might be fixed to enable it again.
Then my question is whether this was caused by simply enabling compact
fonts or by doing it twice.
The results happen when you use compact mode and is a result of
\glyphslant which keeps the value of the italic style even when you
switch back to the upright style.
Many thanks for your explaination,
using the low level commands
\glyphscale
\glyphxscale
\glyphyscale
\glyphslant
\glyphweight
directly can have side efects when at an outer level these are also set,
so you need to accumulate, like
\starttext
test {\glyphscale 2000 test \glyphscale \numericscaled1.2\glyphscale
test} test
test {\glyphslant 500 test \glyphslant \numericscaled2.0\glyphslant
test} test
test {\glyphweight 100 test \glyphweight\numericscaled2.0\glyphweight
test} test
\stoptext
The problem is that compact mode uses them to apply the slanted feature
without any manual use of the commands from a user.
\enableexperiments[fonts.compact]
\definefontfamily[mainface][rm][TeX Gyre Termes]
[it={style:regular, features:{default,slanted}},
sl={style:regular, features:{default,slanted}}]
\setupbodyfont[mainface]
\starttext
\startstyle[style=italic]normal {\em emphasized} normal\stopstyle
\stoptext
The only way to mask the effect is to create a new fontfeature with the
minimum slant value and apply it to the upright style.
\definefontfeature [unslanted] [slant=0.001]
\definefontfamily[mainface][rm][TeX Gyre Termes]
[features={default,unslanted},
it={style:regular, features:{default,slanted}},
sl={style:regular, features:{default,slanted}}]

Look at the second example of the Lua code in the example below for each

Many thanks for your extended explanation, Wolfgang.
Here is another solution which uses \ifcase the select a different case
dependent on the value of the remainder.
\def\beforequadruplenumber#1%
{\ifcase\numexpr#1;4\relax
\the\numexpr#1+3\relax % remainder = 0
\or
\the\numexpr#1+2\relax % remainder = 1
\or
\the\numexpr#1+1\relax % remainder = 2
\or
\the\numexpr#1+4\relax % remainder = 3
\fi}
\def\afterquadruplenumber#1%
{\ifcase\numexpr#1;4\relax
\the\numexpr#1+1\relax % remainder = 0
\or
\the\numexpr#1+4\relax % remainder = 1
\or
\the\numexpr#1+3\relax % remainder = 2
\or
\the\numexpr#1+2\relax % remainder = 3
\fi}
Now it is clearer to me (although I need some time to learn from it).
When you use \numexpr to perform arithmetic in TeX it is recommended to
add a final \relax to stop the command from scanning to additional
values, e.g. in the example below \testone takes value beyond the
argument because \numexpr hasn't ended yet.
\starttext
\def\testone#1{\the\numexpr #1 + 1 }
\testone{1} + 1
\def\testtwo#1{\the\numexpr #1 + 1 \relax}
\testtwo{1} + 1
\stoptext

Sorry for not having answered before, Wolfgang.
I’m afraid I don’t get how \ifcase is deployed with as conditional
(being \ifcase used to give numbers for weekdays or months).
The \ifcase command is the TeX version of a switch statement from other
programming languages.
The first case in \ifcase checks against zero which is shorter than
writing "\ifnum ... = 0".
The semicolon is also mysterious to me, I don’t know what it does there
in plain language.
The semicolon is a undocumented extension (I noticed it in the
definition of \page[quadruple]) of \numexpr in Luametatex for the
modulus operator.
Sorry, I know it has to be simple, but the syntax is too cryptic for me.
Could you write the first line in plain language?

Sorry for asking that. I’m afraid this would be the only way I could get
what \ifcase is doing there.
As was mentioned above I used it as a check when the remainder was 0.

Many thanks for the new command, Hans.
I‘m afraid this new command breaks my compilation.
The error message isn’t very helpful for me (see below).
I wonder whether this requires a minimal sample to be fixed.
Many thanks for your help,
