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] Re: can we do binding correction?
Thank you Willi! Generally I know for what binding correction is used, I just never tried to set it up. If I look carefully at one of our printed booklets, the printshop also didn’t. So I'd need pageshift without applying imposition (setting it up wouldn’t hurt). I didn’t think about vertical pageshift, but of course that’s also needed for cross-folded sheets. I'm not sure how (horizontal) pageshift is supposed to work with full page images without introducing white borders, but bleed at the inner edge should be enough. Theoretically the shift value should be the same as the paper thickness (don’t you think?), but there’s some deformation involved, so a factor might make sense? Unfortunately I threw out my old books on printing technology long ago, and my newer one doesn’t cover bookbinding (I’m not at home anyway).

[NTG-context] Re: can we do binding correction?
Hi Hraban, I think we should clarify this. Binding correction is a fixed amount of whitespace in the spine added to the inner white-space. This is to ensure, that the binding, which is consuming white-space, keeps the inner white-space optically as intended.. The page shift mechanism works only with imposition enabled. This ensures, that the type-setting area does not creep towards the spine because multiple sheets of paper are folded in the spine. I doubt whether it is enough to have the measure of the thickness do determine this creeping effect, because we are making folds which are probably more circles than just adding thickness of paper.

and not the whitespace:

\startitemize[a,packed,joinedup]

True, thanks for pointing that out. I wasn't aware and frankly,
that's rather unexpected behaviour.
So to put it all together, this now works for me:
\definefontfamily [mainface] [rm] [TeX Gyre Pagella]
\definefontfamily [mainface] [ss] [TeX Gyre Heros]
\starttypescript [math] [default] [size]
\definebodyfont [8.5pt] [mm] [default]

\definetypeface [mainface] [mm] [math] [pagella]
\setupbodyfont [mainface, 8.5pt]
\starttext
\math{V_y}
\bold{\math{V_y}}
\stoptext

You're right \unit{10 Farad} works.

Makes sense if you think about it. Never crossed my mind that ft not
meaning feet in this instance and also never contemplated the
existence of a “femto tonne”.

That gives some insight, indeed. Thanks.
What about:
\unit{10 um}
\unit{10 µm}
Can I assign µ to mean micro (prefix)?

Hi!
I struggle using the unit Farad (unit of capacitance):
The unit "farad" exists.
\starttext
%% prints 10 10 ft
\unit{10 F}
\unit{20 ft}
\registerunit [F=Farad]
\setupunittext [Farad=F]
%% prints 10 F 20 F⋅t
\unit{10 F}
\unit{20 ft}
\stoptext
When registering Farad as new unit it messes up feet. This looks
like a bug to me, since “20 ft” does not contain a capital “F” and
units are case-sensitive. How to use Farad correctly without messing
up other units?
The unit for feet is "foot" and "ft" is a combination of a prefix
(femto) and a unit (tonne).
You can list the individual parts in the log file with the
"physics.units" tracker.
To get a short unit you have to use the following method (it works
because farad exists):
\registerunitshortcut [F=farad]

I tend to think this might be a bug.
The \startblockquote command removes the last skip to ensure only the
space which is set by the environment appears in the output.
The default method to put some space before and after the environment is
to use the spacebefore and spaceafter keys.
begin example

It would interesting to know what you're trying to achieve with your

[NTG-context] new upload
Hi,
I uploaded a new lmtx (some new - experimental - things will be
explained after the ctx meeting), but there's one thing that is somewhat
important.
In addition to the built in units we can now have so called user units.
There is some more info about this in the lowlevel-registers manual. One
of the predefined units is 'uu' with an associated \ununit (dimension)
variable and it's is also interfaced to metafun. That means that when
you use uu in metapost graphics you have to make sure that you save the
meaning and/or numeric uu now.
The idea is that just as in mp one can say 20xx with xx being a (sort
of) unit, one can do the same in tex. Think of
\newdimension \MyUnitA \MyUnitA 1.23pt
\pushoverloadmode % just in case
\newuserunit\MyUnitA ua % binds the unit to the variable
\popoverloadmode
x\hskip 10ua\relax x
The units starting with 'u' are considered user units but be carefulk
with other combinations as we have (and will have more) built into
context ones, like
pi : pi for Mikael
ft : foot for Alan
fs : (global body) font size
tw : (layout) text width
th : (layout) text height
hs : (current) hsize
vs : (current) vsize
cd : (when set) column distance
cw : (when set) column width
cx : combination cell width
uu : user unit (\METAFUN)
So Mikael can now have
test \hskip 3pi\relax test
and Alan can have
\setuplayout
[width=1ft]
to be consistent with inches.
The reason why we have this mechanism is that it provides a level of
abstraction. It might evolve over time but don't expect the 600+ units
possible to show up because one needs sensible shortcuts. Already built
in unit always win and you cna only bind to already defined quantities.
Here's one for those who want to go beyond the normal:
\newdimension \FooA \FooA 1.23pt
\newdimen \FooB \FooB 12.3pt
\protected\def\FooC {\the\dimexpr\FooA +\FooB\relax}
So you can now figure how 'cx' is defined in a dynamic way.
Hans

Since my printing house requires 3mm of space around the page for trimming. Does defining a paper size taller and wider than the 6x9 'pawel' paper size you gave in hte example is a solution? For the example purposes: \definepapersize[printing_sheet][width440pt,height=656pt] Then use: \setuppapersize[pawel][printing_sheet] As I understand using 'location=middle in \seputlayout would place my 6x9 page in the middle of this wider and taller sheet. So many more htings are much more clear and I am copying these messages to propose osme changes to the wiki. ConTeXt already provides a named layout "oversized" where you can control the extra height/width for cutting. To get an extra of 3mm on each side you have to add \setuppapersize[distance=6mm] (you need 6mm because it's the combined value for the left and right side) in combination with \setuplayout[location=middle]. begin example \enablemode[print] %\enablemode[screen] \startmode[print] \setuppapersize [distance=6mm] \definepapersize [pawel] [width=432pt,height=648pt] \setuppapersize [pawel] [oversized] \setuplayout [ location=middle, backspace=52pt, cutspace=68pt, width=middle] \stopmode \startmode[screen] \definepapersize [pawel] [width=432pt,height=648pt] \setuppapersize [pawel] \setuplayout [backspace=60pt, width=312pt] \stopmode \starttext \showlayout \stoptext end example Wolfgang ___ 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 ___
Re: [NTG-context] Absolute positioning of \startcombination... \stopcombination
Thanks for your reply Pablo. I didn't see it till just now because for
some reason it ended up in my junk folder, along with a number of other
ConTeXt messages. You will probably have seen my reply to the list with
the three solutions, now we have four!
Yep, I know that A4 is the default page size and I always start with
that but sometimes I play about with page sizes when typesetting and so
can just change when coding.
In the document I'm working on, some pages will only contain images
and/or combination of images so I went down the Layers route since this
also allows me to absolutely position these images on the page.
Thanks again for your help!
Best Wishes

Hi Keith,
I think the following sample might achieve what you want:
\showframe
\setupexternalfigures[location={default}]
\setuplayout
[backspace=2.5cm,
topspace=1cm,
height=28cm,
width=17cm,
header=0cm,
footer=0.75cm,
]
\definelayer[test3]
%[x=.5\paperwidth, y=.5\paperheight]
[x=.5\textwidth, y=.5\textheight]
%\setupbackgrounds[page]
\setupbackgrounds[text]
[background=test3]
\starttext
\setlayer[test3][location={middle}]
\framed[offset=overlay]{{\startcombination[nx=3,ny=1,distance=15mm]
{\externalfigure[cow][width=15mm]}{}
\rotate[rotation=90]{\externalfigure[cow][width=15mm]}{}
{\externalfigure[cow][width=15mm]}{}
\stopcombination}}
\null
\stoptext
BTW, A4 portrait is the default page size.
\setupbackgrounds is the standard way to place layers.
Page and text centering would require different positions (I have
commented out the option for page centering).
I hope it helps (since I’m not sure I’m getting your point here),

Or you could put the combination in a frame:
\startparagraph [align=middle]
\startframed [frame=off,offset=\zeropoint]
\startcombination [nx=3,ny=1]
{first} {}
{second}{}
{third} {}
\stopcombination
\stopframed
\stopparagraph

Re: [NTG-context] Chapter cover page
Hi Bruce, and thanks for your answer.
In the end, I think a combination of `insidesection` and `placehead`
does what I want:
###
\setuphead[interview][
placehead=hidden,
insidesection={\setup{interview:cover}},
]
###
I'll test it harder in the coming days!

Hi Alex,
I couldn't get it to work with \tabulate so I switched to TABLE instead. The
workaround for the horizontal mode problem is to put the chapter title into row
two of the table. Hopefully this works with your actual text. Also I'm not sure
where \layoutcolumnwidth is coming from so I just hard-coded a width for now.
Lastly there are neater ways (using \setuptable) to define the table but it's
just an example...
\define[2]\MyChapter{
\bTABLE[frame=off]
\bTR
\bTD[width=4cm] \structureuservariable{author} \eTD
\bTD \structureuservariable{bio} \eTD
\eTR

\bTD[nc=2] #1 #2 \eTD
\eTR
\eTABLE

Hello,

I'd like to have the chapter page start on a right page. I'd like this page to feature

interviewee name and bio. All in a "fancy" layout.
I'm having issue putting it all together. The command parameter allow me to
override the content of the title but has some drawbacks (it seems to be stuck
in horizontal mode for instance).
I'm open to any solution but would find it nice to keep the \startstopinterview

Here is my code at the moment:

Re: [NTG-context] autospacing and colonequals (was Lucida-1.901 (2023-01-21) available)
Hi Hans and Mikael,
Thank you both for your attention to my reply and the clarification and hints
regarding the comman \colonequals and
\setupmathematics[autospacing=yes]
Indeed the command \colonequals give the precise expected alignment for the
combination glyph « := ». Befors changing the combination « := » to
\columnequals in my documents, I am wondering whether one could add a small lua
code in order to make an automatic replacement at run time. Actually, since I
don’t know of any other instance in which the combination « := » is used to
mean something else, would it not be reasonnable to make « := » synonym to
\colonequals?
I played a little bit with
\setupmathematics[autospacing=yes]
and it seems to me that without this command one gets automatic spacing in math
mode, while with the above command the spacing obeys what has been inserted in
the source. Is this behaviour intended, or is there a mismatch between
\setupmathematics[autospacing=yes]
and
\setupmathematics[autospacing=no]
Best regards: Otared

Hi,

I very much appreciated that article: one sees how the handling of almost

great thank you to Hans and Mikael for all this work!
Regarding the details of vertical alignment in math, I wonder whether the
column « : » in front of the equal sign « = », in the combination « := » (used
to define for instance a new variable) should be alos centered around the math
axis, as explained in the article. For instance in the following example
\setupbodyfont[lucidaot,12pt]
\starttext
\startformula
f(x) := -(u|x) := - \langle u, x \rangle
\stopformula
\stopformula
\startformula
f : A \longrightarrow B
\stopformula
\stoptext
it seems to me that the lower dot (or square…) in the semicolumn of the first
formula (in front of the equal sign) is lower than in the second formula.

Thank you for the kind words, Otared,
Regarding the colons (and other symbols with "dots"), I would say it
is still not optimal in Lucida (and difficult to make it "consistent",
there are too many symbols that are at the moment different). But in
your example you can use \colonequals and \colon if you prefer. They
are centered around the math axis.

f \colon A \longrightarrow B
\stopformula

There is a (experimental as we played with it and then got distracted)

\stoptext
the second line is not yet ok as collapsing the := (old feature) comes
at the wrong time when we do autospacing (something Mikasl and I now
need to discuss and test)
This autospacing is part of some larger effort, for instance we can also
auto handle fences and so. All this relates to minimizing the input and
make it a bit more natural. Think (1,2) vb (1, 2) where we - due to the
many more classes that we have - want spacing to be right.

It seems to be set to some lineheight or such, but I need the distance

How can I se the vertical spacing between this sequence of image to

Do you need floats at all? Otherwise a combination might fit your needs,
and there you can setup the distances.

According to “Scientific Style and Format: The CSE Manual for Authors, Editors,

As a recovering string theorist, I cannot help but speculate that this rule
extends to spherical coordinates in any number of dimensions. However, if you
don’t want the space, you can use 135\unit{℃}, which does not add a space.
> Also,

It is not a parsing bug; it is a limitation. In general, units must be spelled
out (newton, joule, etc.) which produces the correct SI symbol (N, J, etc.).
Some units are also recognized by their symbols (m, s, kg,…). Celsius is
recognized by the single character “℃” and by the name “celsius”, but not by
the two character combination “°C”. Probably, the parser could be expanded to
recognize the two character combination. That requires mucking around in
phys-dim.lua, which I’m not going to touch.
Use \unit{135 celsius} if you want the space, and 135\unit{celsius} if you
don’t. Or you can add your favorite abbreviations:
\registerunit[
°C=°C,
]
\setupunittext[
°C=℃,
]
Then use \unit{135°C} if you want the space and 135\unit{°C} if you don’t.
> Related,
> \unit{90°} does not seem to introduce a space, as indeed it should not.
Also related, using \unit for just the units, and not the number, is useful
when they follow something that is not a number, like a vector: $ \vec v =
(4.0, -3.2, 1.5)\unit{m/s} $. You frequently do not want a space in that
situation.
Now that I’ve had this success messing with other people’s code, I’ve got your
luagraph module on my mind.

I don't think that there's any way to do this from within a document
run, so I think that you'll need to use an external program.
> If not, is there a recommended external program that can do it?
But, you can use ConTeXt as the external program here.
Save as "imposition.cld":
local filename = document.getargument("filename")
local pdf = lpdf.epdf.image.open(filename)
local pages = pdf.nofpages
local max = math.ceil(pages / 4)
context.setuppapersize({ "A5" }, { "A3" })
context.setuppaper { nx = 2, ny = 2 }
context.setuparranging { "XY" }
local function insert_page(n)
context.startpagemakeup()
context.filterpages({ filename }, { n })
context.stoppagemakeup()
end
context.starttext()
for i = 1, max do
if i % 2 == 1 then
insert_page(i + 0 * max)
insert_page(i + 1 * max)
insert_page(i + 2 * max)
insert_page(i + 3 * max)
else
insert_page(i + 1 * max)
insert_page(i + 0 * max)
insert_page(i + 3 * max)
insert_page(i + 2 * max)
end
end
context.stoptext()
Then run:

I'm not sure if I got your desired output quite right here, but

right.

[NTG-context] \setuparranging values for perfect bound A5 on A3?
I have a book to be perfect bound[1] and I'm trying to work out what imposition to use. The printer would like 4 A5 pages laid out on A3 e.g. +---+---+ | | | | a | b | | | | +---+---+ | | | | c | d | | | | +---+---+ so that he can cut the paper and simply stack a, b, c, & d on top of each other and then put them in the binding machine[2]. If the book is 40 pages long, say, then stack 'a' has page 1 on the top, page 2 on the reverse, then the next sheet has page 3 and 4, and so on down to the last sheet which has page 9 on the front and page 10 on the back. Stack 'b' would have page 11 on the front, 12 on the back and so on, so that each stack has a quarter of the book. Is this something LMTX can do and if so what combination of \setuplayout and \setuppaper do I need to use? If they can be printed in reverse order then great but I assume the printer can do that fairly easily. If not, is there a recommended external program that can do it? I've tried \setuplayout[4*2] and XY with 2x2 but neither output is what I need. Thanks in advance. [1] glued spine (if that term isn't used outside the UK) [2] I'm sure it's actually harder than that. :-) — Bruce Horrocks Hampshire, UK ___ 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 ___
[NTG-context] lmtx status
Hi, At the ctx meeting we released luametatex, that is, the source code is now in the context zip (so it grew a few MB). At the same time Mojca set up some contextgarden repositories on github. We're working on a setup for users to generate older snapshots, if needed (for instance because there are platform changes). She's also working on cmake based installation helpers. One of the things we did was pruning the fonts that are part of the installation. With a few exceptions the type one fonts were dropped, which is most noticeable for math. There is no need for px and tx fonts, they served their puspose in the transition from old style t1 fonts to opentype math (when we started with mkiv; we could have dropped them already). We're looking into antykwa math as well as in alternative script and calligraphic math alphabets so eventually virtual math from t1 construction can be dropped completely (in principle if can be integrated in the tweak mechanisms) because it is not wirth the effort to make them better. That means that we will ship some additional companion fonts. There are math times fonts but they are currently not free and there is some effort going on to turn them opentype so we can ditch their setups too (we can't test anyway; to some extend that is also true for minion math). High on the agenda is euler (in combination with pagella). This also relates to upgraded mixed script and calligraphic support in math. It actually means that enabling alternative alphabets will happen a bit differently (more naturally integrated as we introduced dedicated ranges of slots). Again a side effect is that we have more granular math glyph properties (opentype math is too limited but basically frozen so we have to get over that and move on). We (Mikael and me) also try to compensate for the ommissions and weird things in unicode math but it will take some time before we have that all documented. One of the next uploads will have the pruned / upgraded texmf tree (one can always install more in the local tree of course). At some point installing from the garden (or from a git clone) will also be supported (basically anyone can host a lmtx install). For the next texlive we hope to switch to lmtx as default and that also means that luametatex is the runner then. One can (as currently in lmtx) always run luatex with "--luatex". Als-in-all it's a lot of work but we're getting there.

I’d like to write a long chapter title in two lines if it is longer than the

It is OK when I use just bigger fonts.
But it writes the long title in one line if I use outlined font for title as in

Is there a way to write it in two lines using the outlined font?

[NTG-context] TIL: figure combinations
You probably know about combinations to place images side by side:
\startcombination[3*1]
{\externalfigure[cow]}{cow}
{\externalfigure[mill]}{mill}
{\externalfigure[hacker]}{hacker}
\stopcombination
Now, the widths aren’t calculated automatically.
You could define them on your own:
\startcombination[3*1]
{\externalfigure[cow] [width=.3\textwidth]}{cow}
{\externalfigure[mill] [width=.3\textwidth]}{mill}
{\externalfigure[hacker][width=.3\textwidth]}{hacker}
\stopcombination
But that’s ugly and tedious. Hans did it for you:
\definemeasure[combination][
(\textwidth
-\effectiveleftskip
-\effectiverightskip
-\numexpr\combinationparameter\nx-\plusone\relax\dimexpr\combinationparameter\distance\relax
)/\combinationparameter]
So you can say:
\startcombination[3*1]
{\externalfigure[cow] [width=\measure{combination}]}{cow}
{\externalfigure[mill] [width=\measure{combination}]}{mill}
{\externalfigure[hacker][width=\measure{combination}]}{hacker}
\stopcombination
But that’s still tedious.
With the power of \defineexternalfigure:
\defineexternalfigure[combination][width=\measure{combination}]
(That’s predefined, no need to copy!)
\startcombination[3*1]
{\externalfigure[cow] [combination]}{cow}
{\externalfigure[mill] [combination]}{mill}
{\externalfigure[hacker][combination]}{hacker}
\stopcombination
Beautiful. ;)
Have fun,
Hraban

[NTG-context] Unwanted blank page before page figures when using non-placed (hidden) heads

[NTG-context] dorecurse within combination
Hi, I’d like to place pages from a multipage PDF in a combination:
\startcombination[3*1]
\dorecurse{3}{%
{\externalfigure[multipage][width=\textwidth/3,page=\recurselevel]}{}
}
\stopcombination
That doesn’t work, because ConTeXt expects a { after \startcombination.
(“A left brace was mandatory here, so I've put one in.”)
I guess I need some expansion, but \expanded doesn’t help.
How can I do this?

Re: [NTG-context] Xml - Lua - context
Hi Thomas, Not sure whether it helps or not, but in regards to combinations and Lua I have had some challenges as well, but Hans' and Wolfgangs' solution with externalfigures works fine for me now: https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2021/103822.html https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2021/103827.html Adam On Mon, Mar 28, 2022 at 2:42 PM Thomas A.

[NTG-context] Xml - Lua - context
And here comes question 2, a very basic one: on A4 landscape pages, I want to place two images next to each other (like the spread pages of a book). What would be the preferred way of the really competent users to do this, again keeping in mind that I want to loop over page numbers in a pdf file and thus am coding in Lua. So far, I have tried or thought about: 1. Embedded xtable This is what I’m using now, an xtable of two columns for every A4 page. It works, but I wonder if it’s a good method. 2. combinations This appeared to be the most natural approach (because it’s what combinations are for), but I ran into expansion problems, added a few “function () end” in my code, but couldn’t make it compile. Combinations, combined with framed and externalfigure, are difficult to write in Lua - or am I too stupid to find the winning combination (sorry for the puns). 3. columns Again, this would seen like a natural approach, having every A4 page set up as two columns, but maybe that’s overkill? I’d be curious to know what you think!

I could also mention here that in the upload Hans did some days ago, most changes are "behind the scenes", so the user should not really write their code differently. One exception: In integrals, texers have usually a \, in front of the differential. Now there is a differential class, and the macro \dd will give a differential d, with (hopefully) correct spacing. Thus, write for example \int_0^1 f(x)\dd x. If you find any strange distances between atoms, please mail me examples. With the introduction of new classes, there are many new pairs, and perhaps not all of them are setup "correct". /Mikael ___ 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 ___

I guess the number of internal ConTeXt counters will be tremendous. But

I have tried to apply \incrementcounter or \decrementcounter to some

I don't get any result.
most counters are 'protected' from messing them up and section related

Re: [NTG-context] TeXWorks and synctex SOLVED
For those searching in future, the minimum needed to make synctex work with ConTeXt and TeXShop on macOS Monterey is: 1) Reasonably new LMTX. I have version 2021.12.10 11:41. (It might well work going back a few versions but not too far.) 2) TeXShop version 4.68 3) TeXShop -> Preferences -> Engines -> Alternate path *must* be set to your LMTX installation. For me on an Intel Mac that is: /Users/bruce/Applications/context-osx-64/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin TeXShop uses this path to launch the program it needs to convert a synctex location into a file name and line number. If this path is wrong then the editor just does nothing. 4) These two lines at the top of each source file you want to sync to/from: % !TEX useAlternatePath % !TEX useConTeXtSyncParser 5) Either --synctex="1" on the command line in the .engine file or \setupsynctex [state=start, method=max] somewhere in your source (which can be in the current file or in an environment file). 6) Most times you will need to quit and restart TeXShop when you change any of the above. You *do not* need: 1) You do not need the "ConTeXt2021.engine" file: you can use your own engine file as long as it invokes your local LMTX. So, for me, the two key commands in the .engine file are: set path=(/Users/bruce/Applications/context-osx-64/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin $path /Library/TeX/texbin /usr/texbin /usr/local/bin) mtxrun --script context --autogenerate "$1" 2) You do not need the following magic line: % !TEX TS-program = ConTeXt2021 If you do include it then it will override the engine you select from the drop down. Hopefully this answer will help others with this problem:- at least until the version of ConTeXt shipped with TexShop is new enough to support the new synctex and then there won't be any need to configure anything. > On 13 Dec 2021, at 09:45, Bruce Horrocks via ntg-context > wrote: > > I'm having trouble getting the new synctex to work on a Mac.

Q1: is there a log file created somewhere or a debugging flag that can be turned on which will tell me what is happening when I try to jump from PDF to editor or vice versa? Q2: Is this the same error as reported at the bottom of https://wiki.contextgarden.net/SyncTeX ? Or has that been fixed? PS: \enabletrackers[system.synctex.visualize] works as expected - i.e. the .synctex file seems to be correct. — Bruce Horrocks Hampshire, UK ___ 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 ___

Apologies for spamming this list with my all the floaty stuff.
There's an issue with defining new floats in LMTX in combination
with bottom placement.

Yes, that is the right part to get started with. You could just copy the whole
\startuseMPgraphic and rename it for editing (to let’s say
rules:under:bardots), then do
\definebar[underbardot][undergraphic][mp=rules:under:bardots]

I would like to have this type of “complete” bar nesting as well.
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

[NTG-context] double underbars
Hi,
for a current project I'll need different variants of underbars.
- A normal underbar
- A dotted underbar
- A combination of both
Is there a way to combine them? I was hoping to have the dotted variant above
the normal bar.
This is not working

Thanks, \definetypeface fixes it. Should I not be using \definefontfamily?
I've just checked eulernova and the prime is still too high for this font.
\switchtobodyfont[eulernova]
\starttext
\m{x'}
\stoptext
To set the math font \definetypeface is the better choice because
ConTeXt loads patches for most math fonts to improve the spacing for
primes etc.
You can use \definefontfamily to set the math font but then you have to
load these patches yourself (\definefontfamily [...] [...] [...]
[extras=...,goodies=...]). For a few fonts these patches are loaded
automatically but the system is not always up to date.
What I suggest is to use \definefontfamily to select your text fonts
(serif, sans and mono) in combination with \definetypeface for the math
font. One reason where \definefontfamily is the better choice for the
math font is when you try to use fallbacks for the math font (e.g. to
have sans serif letters in math mode).

[NTG-context] Space before/after combinations + centring
Hi!
I'm in the process of converting some projects to LMTX. Combinations
lacking “”before” and “after” keys (that place content before/after
the *entire* combination, rather than the individual cell pairs), I
came up with the following ugliness – which worked for longer than
it deserved:
\unprotect
\unexpanded\def\startcombination
{\blank[halfline]%%
\startalignment[middle]%%
\dontleavehmode
\bgroup
\pack_combinations_push
\dodoubleempty\pack_combinations_start}
\unexpanded\def\stopcombination
{\bgroup\normalexpanded{\egroup{}\ntimes{{}{}}\c_pack_combinations_y}% brr
\dostoptagged
\egroup
\pack_combinations_pop
\egroup
\stopalignment
\goodbreak\blank[halfline]}
\protect
\starttext
\startcombination [2*2]
\startcontent foo \stopcontent \startcaption 1 \stopcaption
\startcontent bar \stopcontent \startcaption 2 \stopcaption
\stopcombination
\stoptext
I added vertical spacing and mid-aligned the content without having
to change the sources, that was the idea. However, this fails in
LMTX:
Undefined control sequence \pack_combinations_start
Does LMTX offer finer control over the combinations or do I have to
rewrite the sources files (to either use floats or surround the
combinations with the required commands)?

If you play a bit with these low level mechanism the luametatex /
context combination now permits weird applications (which for sure some
of you will (ab)use). The above example shows how to implement line
numbers (there are drawbacks compared to the existing mechanisms) and
other stuff in the margins and text edges but the most important aspect
is that when the content in these boxes has width, it will be taken into
account in the par builder because that is what this is about: these
local boxes are taken into acount when breaking lines. When the handlers
kick in, you have
\localboxattribute : more for internal use
\localboxlinenumber: as the par builder sees it
\localboxwidth : the local box width
\localboxoffset: the total distance to the edge
\localboxleftskip : the effective leftskip
\localboxrightskip : the effective rightskip
\localboxlefthang : the current shape related value
\localboxrighthang : the current shape related value
\localboxindent: only first line
\localboxparfillleftskip : effective value (onky last line)
\localboxparfillrightskip : effective value (only last line)
\localboxovershoot : overfull compensation
most of these relate to normalized lines and as such there is plenty to
play with. Others can be seen in the examples.
I might add some more control to both these 'injection' mechanism
because directly out of the (pdftex/omega/luatex) they are not that
useful (which is probably also why we don't use them.) These are cheap
extensions so they don't really influence runtime much, so .. when not
used ... no harm done. I really have no clue how useful this is.
I need to ponder this usage:
\definelocalboxes
[linetextA]
[command=\LeftTextA,
location=lefttext,
style=\bs,
color=darkblue]
\protected\def\LeftTextA#1{\llap{#1}\quad}
\definelocalboxes
[linetextB]
[command=\LeftTextB,
location=left,
style=\bs,
color=darkgreen]
\protected\def\LeftTextB{\llap{\unhbox\localboxcontentbox}\quad}
\starttext
\dorecurse{10}{some text #1 }
\leftparbox {\red \bf keyword}HERE\leftparbox{}
\dorecurse{10}{some text #1 }
\blank
{\dorecurse{10}{some text #1 }
\leftparbox {\red \bf keyword}test
\dorecurse{10}{some text #1 }}
\blank
{\dorecurse{10}{some text #1 }
\localbox[linetextA]{keyword}HERE
\dorecurse{10}{some text #1 }}
{\dorecurse{10}{some text #1 }
\localbox[linetextB]{keyword}HERE
\dorecurse{10}{some text #1 }}
{\dorecurse{10}{some text #1 }
\localbox[linetextB]{keyword 1}HERE1
\dorecurse{10}{some text #1 }
\localbox[linetextB]{keyword 2}HERE2
\dorecurse{10}{some text #1 }}

Any hints on what I am doing wrong in example 3?
as in any prodedural language a function as argument gets immediately
executed so you need to delay:
context.startplacefigure({title = "Figure"})
context.startcombination({nx = "2", ny = "2"},
context.delayed.externalfigure({"cow"},{width = "50mm"}),
"Caption 1",
context.delayed.externalfigure({"cow"},{width = "50mm"}),
"Caption 2",
context.delayed.externalfigure({"cow"},{width = "50mm"}),
"Caption 3",
context.delayed.externalfigure({"cow"},{width = "50mm"}),
"Caption 4"
)
context.stopcombination()
context.stopplacefigure()
(this is why encoding complex documents completely in a scrtipt
language is non trivial and why for instance these template systems
are there because these accumulate)
Another solution is to use the content and caption blocks for each
combination entry.
\starttext
\startluacode
context.startplacefigure({title = "Figure"})
context.startcombination({nx = 1, ny = 1})
context.startcontent()
context.externalfigure({"cow"},{width = "50mm"})

\stoptext
Any hints on what I am doing wrong in example 3?
as in any prodedural language a function as argument gets immediately
executed so you need to delay:
context.startplacefigure({title = "Figure"})
context.startcombination({nx = "2", ny = "2"},
context.delayed.externalfigure({"cow"},{width = "50mm"}),
"Caption 1",
context.delayed.externalfigure({"cow"},{width = "50mm"}),
"Caption 2",
context.delayed.externalfigure({"cow"},{width = "50mm"}),
"Caption 3",
context.delayed.externalfigure({"cow"},{width = "50mm"}),
"Caption 4"
)
context.stopcombination()
context.stopplacefigure()
(this is why encoding complex documents completely in a scrtipt language
is non trivial and why for instance these template systems are there
because these accumulate)
