Youssef has got a point, though: \definefontfamily should perhaps be given a tiny bit better treatment on the wiki. I agree with him that https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Use_the_fonts_you_want seems like the best place to mention it, and even think that all of the last section could be rewritten using \definefontfamily instead of a typescript definition (which can be moved elsewhere, it obviously doesn’t need to be deleted from the wiki entirely). But I wouldn’t like to disturb the good work that Garulfo did when he overhauled the wiki, hence if you’re around, Garulfo, perhaps you could comment on that?

Re: [NTG-context] Critical Editions?
Thomas, Even if I am an occasional user of CTX (mainly class courses for beginners and sophomore or by trying to write samples of what it is possible to achieve with it), and if I think I am aware about what can do CTX or what it cannot do, I didn't know that you wrote a wiki page on TEI-XML with ConTeXt : even if I am interested by clever printing and issues with multi-languages texts topics, I ignored your precious piece of work. I was interested by the questions of Pr. Jürgen Hanneder, because even if I don't know a word of Sanskrit, it is allways a true pain to begin with technical requisits when your real job is to think about the problematic meaning of ancients or less ancients texts. You precise clearly what I think about University mores, and J. Hanneder tell us his problems, which all of us know. There are, for people who are working on Ancient Greek, Latin, Middle Age texts or Sanskrit (or whatever) some commercial tools which seem do the work : but technical efficiency asks allways money. I know of a company that works for a publisher, whose service is to code some Perl with text formatted in LaTeX and XML, in order to produce a display on screen and a printout on paper, until the page which presents the cover of the book and the summary of the contents, as well as its ISBN code, its price and the quantity of books in stock. ConTeXt was at the very start a kind of a clever answer to the huge of technical abilities asked by LaTeX, and free of charge, numerous people interested by text editing have turned their eyes to ConTeXt. I agree with you about reading and solving problems for a 400 pages text with 2 or 3 different languages and several levels of criticus apparatus : one needs to begin with the beginning or a kind of beginning with some issues given by a real and modest sample.

Re: [NTG-context] Critical Editions?
Thomas, You are deeply right ! But this is an issue in academic edition, not only because students read no more at length (specially in humanities), and by consequence, don't buy books, but among other reasons there is a general problem in publishing in academic fields, pointed by Jürgen Hanneder : even Universities libraries don't buy all items published by scholars in a specific field, but publishers themselves have leveled the academic criterium by commercial/economic considerations. Then, scholars have to gather financial funding with technical computing practice, which is another issue, and furthermore they have to find money in order to publish at expansive cost (see Brill prices, for example). You are right about some academic tools, like those developed by Tuft University (like ancient greek thesaurus : http://stephanus.tlg.uci.edu/ or The Liddell-Scott-Jones online dictionary : http://stephanus.tlg.uci.edu/lsj/#eid=1), but for providing such tools as online digital work, there is two ways : 1. Academic courses on TEI XML given to advanced students in order to help them to produce well achieved projects (and provide manuals to do that; an example here in French : http://www.bvh.univ-tours.fr/XML-TEI/ManuelWeb/Manuel_TEI_BVH.html) 2. Or, there are not so numerous nests like NTG-Context discussion list ! How to help Jürgen (and scholars generally) who knock at the door looking for an analysis of their needs and questioning how ConTeXt may help them ? a) They have to learn TEI XML, then b) learn Context stylesheet !

But how can I also put the value of \starttitle in the header.

Is it possible to do something like:

\setmarking[chapter]{title headline}
right before \starttitle as the source is created automatically.

Re: [NTG-context] context manuals -- absence of \definefontfamily

To: Aditya,

>
> https://meeting.contextgarden.net/2021/talks/2021-09-23/definefontfamily.pdf
>
Thank you for letting me know the talk which gives me more understanding about
\definefontfamily.
To: Youssef Cherem,
Recently, Wolfgang helped me to define a font family as following, and I hope
that it gives you some idea to use \definefontfamily.
\definefallbackfamily [nanum] [rm] [Tex Gyre Pagella]
[range={basiclatin,latinsupplement,latinextendeda,latinextendedb},
force=yes]
\definefallbackfamily [nanum] [rm] [Noto Serif CJK KR]
[range={cjkunifiedideographs},force=yes]
\definefontfamily [nanum] [rm] [Nanum Myeongjo OTF]
[ it={style:regular,features:{*,slanted}},
bi={style:bold,features:{*,slanted}},force=yes]
Explanation:
1. I use Korean font whose family name is “Nanum Myeongjo OTF” as main font.
Since it doesn’t have italic style and bold italic style, I add [it=… , bi=…]
to simulate the styles.
2. Since I want to use English character in "TeX Gyre Pagella”. I add it in the
first \definefallbackfamily with an option [range={…},force=yes] which restrict
the use of font to Latin characters.
3. We use chinese characters also in the Korean sentences. But "Nanum Myeongjo
OTF” doesn’t have Chinese characters. So I add another font “Noto Serif CJK KR”
which contains Chinese character with the option
[range={cjkunified…},force=yes] in the second \definefallbackfamily.
There are two font families more, sans and mono which is similar as rm.
It is really nice to use \definefontfamily which saves a lot of work to define
fonts.
Thanks Wolfgang.
If there are something should changed in the above definition, please tell me
what to do.
Best regards,
Dalyoung

Re: [NTG-context] Align table (framed) top
Oh, thanks!
I can simply wrap my table in a framed environment, then. If it is
still possible to solve without the surrounding framed I'm interested
to hear how.

Hi Jürgen,
if you mean http://www.ediciones-criticas.tk/pdf/criticas-context.pdf,
this is outdated. I hope to update it in a not so distant future... .

As far as I can remember linenotes are footnotes with references to line
numbers.
I don’t think it makes a difference if the line number is set
automatically by ConTeXt or the user specifies a given value.

I’m only a ConTeXt newbie (who has been using it for about a decade ).
There might be other solutions, but I’m afraid I don’t know which is
exactly the problem you are facing.
Sorry, but the text structure isn’t clear to me (this is independent
from the fact that I don’t understand a word from the language you may
be using).
BTW, I could only make your sample work in the following form:
\starttext
\setupnotation[linenote]
[alternative=serried,width=broad,distance=.5em,display=no]
\setupnote[linenote][way=bypage,paragraph=yes,rule=off]
\definenote [variant]
\setupnotation[variant][number=no]
\setupnote[variant][way=bypage,paragraph=yes,rule=off]
\definelines[slokaed][][indenting={yes, small, even},
before={\startnarrower\startlinenumbering},
after={\stoplinenumbering\stopnarrower}]
\definelines[slokaedplain][][indenting={yes, small, even},
before=\startnarrower, after=\stopnarrower]
\startslokaed
mano buddhir ahaṃ prāṇās tanmātrendriyajīvanam yaṃ
dṛṣṭvā\linenote{dṛṣṭvā ] dṛṣṭva G\lohi{pc}{1}} vinivartante tam
\linenote{tam ] tat} upāsyam upāsmahe
\stopslokaed
\startslokaedplain

tam ] tat} upāsyam upāsmahe (2)
\stopslokaedplain
\stoptext
Just in case it might help,
Pablo

There is only one table in your example.

If you don't need a table, the following achieves the same:
\starttext
Foofoo
Bar
\framed[width=2cm,align=normal,location=top]{this is a long sentence}\par
The last foo
\stoptext
Best,

[NTG-context] Align table (framed) top
Hi, This is probably simple, but I cannot combine the right keys to get it to work. What is the correct way to get the last line, "The last foo", to automatically be placed below the second table? I still want the first line of the table to align vertically with the text Bar. /Mikael \starttext Foofoo Bar\bTABLE[width=2cm,location=top] \bTR \bTD This is a long sentence \eTD \eTR \eTABLE The last foo \stoptext ___ 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 ___
