[NTG-context] placefigure RTL
Hello,
Is there a way to make \placefigure[left,right] work in RTL documents?
Here's a MWE:
\starttext
\setupalign[r2l]
\placefigure[none,right]{}{\externalfigure[cow]}
\input knuth
\placefigure[none,left]{}{\externalfigure[cow]}
\input knuth
\page
\setupalign[l2r]
\placefigure[none,right]{}{\externalfigure[cow]}
\input knuth
\placefigure[none,left]{}{\externalfigure[cow]}
\input knuth
\stoptext
Thanks a lot,
--MHB

Now, of course you can define an injector for these commands, some are
predefined, like page, column, blank.
But, if my understanding is correct, you'd have to define one for each of the

So, you'll need:
\startsetups xml:directive:injector:testpagethree

\stopsetups
\startsetups xml:directive:injector:testpagefour

\adaptlayout[lines=+1]
\stopsetups
\startsetups xml:directive:injector:addtwolines
\adaptlayout[lines=+1]
\stopsetups
Here, I was thinking if something like this could be easier:
you can also do this:
\startxmlsetups xml:testpage
\testpage[\xmlatt{#1}{n}]
\stopxmlsetup
and register that one (as in previous examples)

Re: [NTG-context] arbitrary context commands in xml file
Just to provide more information about what I was thinking:
You do your typesetting based on an XML doc. Now it is time for the finishing
touches. In a tex document you'd add the usual commands to manipulate the

\adaptlayout[lines=+1]
\testpage[3]

\startsetups xml:directive:injector:addoneline
\adaptlayout[lines=+1]
\stopsetups
\startsetups xml:directive:injector:addtwolines
\adaptlayout[lines=+1]
\stopsetups
Here, I was thinking if something like this could be easier:
Wolfgang's solutions seems to provide that with different means. If I
understand correctly, you'd just map an arbitrary XML element to this setup,
and you can then do this:
\testpage[4]
Correct?
If yes, that would be a nice solution, but those elements are probably not
allowed if your document needs to be validated against a schema, yet processor
instructions will be ignored during validation.
Any ideas for alternative approaches? What do you think about a raw-tex
injector? (Another possibility would be to use Wolfgang's suggestion, and then
to use an XSLT stylesheet to remove those illegal nodes for validation
purposes...)
Best,
Denis

[NTG-context] TEXpage does not fit \placetable & \recurselevel always zero
Dear list,
thank you very much for the help so far.
I have two problems understanding the output of the code below. I am using
version 2021.02.23 17:47.
(1) The TEXpage is cut off after ~40 lines. Normally, the page is extended to
fit its content. It's probably related to \placetable which I only use here
because I need a centered table. I can set the height of the page manually, but
the whole purpose of using TEXpage was to avoid that.
(2) \recurselevel is always zero in the output. Normally, it counts the
iterations. This issue is not relevant for my actual use-case, but I found that
when writing the MWE.
Best wishes,
Jacob Kauffmann

[NTG-context] tex live code freeze
Hi, The 2021 texlive code is currently being frozen. This means that Mojca will check-in the current context release right before tl gets deep frozen. The MKII code (mkii and mpii files) hasn't changed so it should still work well with pdftex and xetex although I admit that I haven't checked to what extend updates to those engines have side effects for context, but I assume none. Let me know if there are problems. The MKIV code (mkiv, mkvi, mpiv, lua files) has changed but not much, mostly as a side effect of the code split and move to LMTX where the focus is on now. There have been recent changes in the metafun code, but new functionality is LMTX only, simply because we use an extended library (more features). Of course there have been some bug fixes to MKIV and if you think more (bugs) should be fixed let us know. The yearly texlive release is also the 'official' yearly current release but of course after that there will be updates when needed. In these updates we don't distinguish between betas and currents: we dropped that some time ago because it was only confusing. Last/this year much of LMTX (mkxl, mpxl, lmt files) already got split and I expect that this year all the lua and mp files also will be independent so that at some point we have a more or less frozen MKIV that uses luatex (which doesn't change fundamentally apart from fixes so we don't need to adapt code to it i.e. MKIV should keep working just like MKII does with pdftex; updates to for instance fonts and languages will be applied). I get the impression that most users already moved to LMTX which helped getting it in the state it is now (thanks for all the testing). Although MKII/MKIV serves a reference for functionality, new stuff got and gets added to LMTX. I could backport some but it probably makes no sense (some is probably easy). There is of course untested code like the overload protection mechasnisms but I have that enabled on my machine (users can do that too) so I can notice side effects. The new engine (luametatex) doesn't change much. Recent changes are mostly cosmetic and I don't expect many more fundamental additions, but who knows ... (not all in there is yet used extensively) and maybe context users have interesting demands that trigger extra stuff (read: challenges me). So apart from new trickery at the tex macro end, we also reach a more stable state in LMTX. Soon I'll pick up some todo's. Some users want parallel stuff (keeps coming up), I also want to see how we can do more metafun - let me know what is missing as I'm currently in metafun mode - and go over some older lua code that started as experiment but hasn't been checked recently. I also want to cleanup the export code a bit but it's kind of boring to do and maybe we should ditch some pdf backend functionilty that adobe dropped from its viewers. And there are always manuals to complete / update ... Anyway, the current LMTX release is also a kind of yearly snapshot. So, if there is some last minute stuff that needs to be done to context MKII and MKIV before the tl code freeze, let us know.

[NTG-context] reference chapters from another doc in this doc's toc
Hi, is it possible to include structure elements from other documents in a toc? E.g. when your having a multivolume book where each book is an individual book, but you want to have a TOC that covers all volumes?

[NTG-context] conditional formatting, checking the context (SOLVED)
Hi,
in the example below I’m using a custom highlighting macro in titles.
Now I don’t want this highlighting in the ToC or in bookmarks (in my real world
example the changes affect bookmarks, not in the MWE).
I know I can use the list= and bookmark= keys of \startchapter, but since the
text is always the same for all, I’d like to check within the \SPECIAL macro if
we’re within the chapter title or within a list or bookmarks.
In preparing the MWE and this message I found a solution with the *chapter
system mode.
Wanted to share anyway ;)
Hraban
\define[1]\SPECIAL{\doifmodeelse{*chapter}{{\bf #1}}{#1}}
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\placebookmarks[chapter,title]
\starttext
\startchapter[title={This \SPECIAL{and} That}]
\input knuth
\stopchapter
\startchapter[title={Something \SPECIAL{Other}}]
\input tufte
\stopchapter
\completecontent[criterium=all]
\stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] Write to tuc file

It's a book that will be published in two volumes, continually paginated.
In the end I need two pdf files, but I thought it might be easier to treat them
as one volume and just split the files with some external tool afterwards.
I could also treat them as two individual books, but then I'd have to get the
last page number of volume 1 in volume 2.
In the early days of context (more than 2 decades ago) we had a printer
where we could inject from different trays and that is why we have a
feature in context to mark pages (so that directives for printers could
be inserted). This feature survived / evolved into marked pages.
You can do this (oeps.tex):
\starttext
\chapter[one]{One}
\markpage[first] test \page test \page
\markpage[second] test \page
\chapter[two]{Two}
test \page
\markpage[fourth] test
\page
% \doifelsemarkedpage{second}{YES}{NO}
% \doifelsemarkedpage{fourth}{YES}{NO}
% \page
% \doifelsemarkedpage{second}{YES}{NO}
% \doifelsemarkedpage{fourth}{YES}{NO}
\stoptext
So, I was wondering if we can expose that differently.
>context --pages oeps
mtx-context | page : 0001 first
mtx-context | page : 0003 second
mtx-context | page : 0005 fourth
>context --pages --page=second oeps
mtx-context | page : 0003 second
>context --pages --page=second,fourth oeps
mtx-context | page : 0003 second
mtx-context | page : 0005 fourth
But, as you're talking chapters, a variants (with less overhead) is:
>context --pages --list=one,two oeps
mtx-context | list : 0001 one
mtx-context | list : 0004 two
Which of course assumes that you have a reference for the chapters.
This --pages feature is in the latest upload.
