Hi Paavnet,
I think this could achieve what you might need:
\definepapersize[tblcard][width=4in,height=3in]
\setuppapersize[tblcard][letter,portrait]
\setuparranging[2TOP]
\setuplayout[
height=3in,
width=4in,
topspace=0in,
header=0in,
bottomspace=0in,
footer=0in,
backspace=0.0in,
%%
location=middle,
marking=on,
]
\startbuffer[tblcard]
\startframedtext
[frame=off, width=\textwidth, height=\textheight,
align={lohi, middle}]
\tfd A Name
\stopframedtext
\stopbuffer
\starttext
%~ \showframe
\rotate[rotation=180]{\getbuffer[tblcard]}
\page
\getbuffer[tblcard]
\stoptext
I hope it goes on time ;-),
Pablo

[NTG-context] Disappearing font feature
List,
I have a strange case of a font feature disappearing when many fonts are
used.
In creating a sampler for the Jost* font (free at
https://indestructibletype.com/Jost.html) and using its feature ss01 to
get single-storey lower-case a, the font reverts to the default
two-storey a when many weights are shown. When I create the fonts with
\definefontfamily, the upright weights are fine and the italic weights
revert. When I create the fonts with \definefont, the reverse is the case.
Below is the demonstration for the \definefont variation and a snip of
the failing result.

[NTG-context] Tent style cards
Hello. I am trying to do up some tent style table place holder cards for my daughter's wedding, and have been wracking my brain for a solution for a couple of days now. Having tried many alternatives, this is the closest I have come up with. But mirroring doesn't work. If I use \setuparranging[2*4] mirroring works, but I only need tent style (1*2 head-to-head) so that I can trim to size. Any template that could be suggested would be most helpful as the wedding is on Mon (yikes!). advTHANKSance. >>>MWE<<< \definepapersize[tblcard][width=4in,height=3in] \setuppapersize[tblcard][letter,portrait] \setuparranging[2TOP] \setuplayout[ height=3in, width=4in, topspace=0in, header=0in, bottomspace=0in, footer=0in, backspace=0.0in, %% location=middle, marking=on, ] \startbuffer[tblcard] \strut \tfd A Name \stopbuffer \starttext \showframe \adaptpapersize[tblcard,mirrored][letter,portrait]\getbuffer[tblcard] \page \getbuffer[tblcard] \stoptext -- Pavneet Arora m: +1 647-406-6843 Waroc Informatike: pavneet_ar...@waroc.com ___ 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 ___

MkII ConTeXt processes the argument list in TeX and checks first if the argument is a valid name (e.g. big) which is then expanded, when the argument isn't a valid name it is handled as a dimension which is added to the skip value. Since everything happens in TeX length registers (e.g. \lineheight) are allowed in the argument. 2. MkIV ConTeXt passes the complete list with all arguments to Lua where a loop iterates over all entries. The problem here is that Lua can't deal with \lineheight because it expects the value of the register and you have to pass the length as \the\lineheight which delivers the current value for the line height. 3. LMTX The same things as MkIV but there is a additional check on the TeX end before the arguments are passed to Lua where ConTeXt checks if the argument is a dimension. The reason why this is only done for LMTX is that a new command (\ifchkdim) in the engine was needed for this and many of these new helpers exist only here. Be aware that this check works only when a length register is the *first* argument in the list because every other case the check fails. \starttext line 1 \blank[line] line 2 \blank[\lineheight] % works line 3 \blank[preference,line] line 4 \blank[preference,\lineheight] % fails line 5 \stoptext Wolfgang ___ 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 ___
