Is there something else I can/should try? For the start you can show us a minimal example with the problem. When you're still trying to create a paragraph with different text widths there are limitations. TeX always typesets more text than it can fit on the current page and when on the next page the text widths changes this is to late for TeX at this moment because the text has already been set with the width of the previous page.

The module provides features like - alignment of the verse lines - numbering of the lines (which isn't supported by \startlines unless you add the normal linenumbering mechanism) - support for lines which don't fit on a single page where the consecutive lines are indented but the module is outdated and relies on an old mkii style code base. A big difference between the \startlines environment and the format module is that the first treats each line in the input file as a separate line in the output while the format module requires begin/end tags for each line which works better for xml input.

Unlike the framed mechanism this no longer works with the root instance of your own commands because we create a new counter only when you create a instance (with \define...) of the new command. begin example \unprotect \installnamespace{sidenote} \installcommandhandler \sidenote {sidenote} \sidenote \installcounterassociation{sidenote} \appendtoks \registersidenotecounter\currentsidenote \definecounter[\currentsidenote]% \to \everydefinesidenote \appendtoks \synchronizesidenotecounters \to \everysetupsidenote \protect \starttext % create a new sidenote instance with a associated counter \definesidenote[example] \start % use grouping to keep the sidenote instance local \def\currentsidenote{example}% set the sidenote instance to example \incrementcounter[example]% increment the example/sidenote counter \convertedcounter[example]% print the example/sidenote counter \stop % change the number format of the example/sidenote counter \setupsidenote[example][numberconversion=romannumerals] \start \def\currentsidenote{example} \incrementcounter[example] \convertedcounter[example] \stop \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://mailman.ntg.nl/mailman3/lists/ntg-context.ntg.nl webpage : https://www.pragma-ade.nl / https://context.aanhet.net (mirror) archive : https://github.com/contextgarden/context wiki : https://wiki.contextgarden.net ___

Quotation from https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq: /In principle, when composing a line with //ideographic (cl-19) <https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/#cl-19>//, //hiragana (cl-15) <https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/#cl-15>// and //katakana (cl-16) <https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/#cl-16>// characters, no extra spacing appears between their //character frame <https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/#term.character-frame>//. This is called solid setting (see //Figure 5 <https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/#fig1_8>//)./ 1. ConTeXt has a mechanism to typeset Japanese texts. 2. There are flaws in the output it produces but this nothing which can't be fixed. 3. To fix the problems someone has to be passionate to fix them and we're willing to help here. As you can see in my second example file japanese.tex there is a font feature to create half sized parentheses etc. which isn't supported yet by ConTeXt's mechanism for japanese and in case your willing to improve it this should be taken care of as well.

Sure I'll update the https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Chinese_Japanese_and_Korean hopefully with the help of Jeong Dal and others as soon as things are sorted out. In attached example, the opening Brackets (I marked them with \color[red]{【} and \color[red]{{}) are taking the previous character with them to the next line. Please remove these to see that the previous character would stay on the previous line. Thanks Wolfgang for checking wether this is a bug. Can you stick to fonts which are available for all systems (e.g. Noto CJK) because system fonts are a pain when you're on a different system. The missing line break before 【 is caused by a wrong table entry in scrp-cjk.lua and I guess the following change is necessary local japanese_2 = { jamo_initial = korean_break, korean = stretch_break, chinese = stretch_break, hiragana = stretch_break, katakana = stretch_break, half_width_open = nobreak_stretch_break_autoshrink, half_width_close = nobreak_stretch, - full_width_open = nobreak_stretch_break_shrink, + full_width_open = stretch_break, full_width_close = nobreak_stretch, full_width_punct = japanese_before_full_width_punct, -- nobreak_stretch, hyphen = nobreak_stretch, non_starter = nobreak_stretch, other = stretch_break, } but there can be more wrong entries. I was not successful in figuring out how the protrusion mechanism can be set in order to keep full stops and commas on the previous line (protruding the column box). Could you please give me a hint, Wolfgang? Thanks. There's a \color[red]{。} in my example which should not jump to the next line. Adding the first and last line to your example document worked for me. \definefontfeature [default] [default] [protrusion=pure] \definefontfamily [...] [...] [...] \setupbodyfont [...] \setupalign [hanging] My example follows the Kihon-hanmen dimensioning as described in https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq . What could be the reason that lines which could hold 25 characters are having only 24 characters, for example lines 2, 3 or 13 in column 1? I would expect them to have 25 characters, the same as for example lines 7, 9 or 16 in column 1. I guess the par builder is responsible for this when it arranges the paragraph but this is just a guess. How can I change alignment of the lines so that the highest character boxes align with the top border of the layout boxes for text and header and with the bottom border of the layout box for footer? I hope that when this is achieved for the layout box for text, then this box would hold the expected 45 lines, and not 44 lines as it is doing now. Ruby characters in the first line should protrude the box, what they already do. I tried to implement the 1em hskip of the header and footer away from the page border. While it works for left aligned headers and footers, it doesn't for the right aligned headers and footers (negative hskip has no effect). How to solve this problem? Do you a proper example of the layout? Setting a few values is not enough because TeX doesn't work the way you need for your layout. Things can be improved but in cases like header and footer you have to tell ConTeXt there are no characters with depth. Also how to get rid of the first empty page? To load a math font from a typescript you have to use the \definetypeface command, replace the line \definefontfamily [JapaneseFont] [mm] [math] [lucidaot] [default] with \definetypeface [JapaneseFont] [mm] [math] [lucidaot] [default] and the page disappears.

I don't intend to nag, but when looking at what ConTeXt is producing, I need to state that the result is still far away from a properly typeset Japanese text. So the nihongo script which comes with ConTeXt handles *line breaks / line wrapping*. But the line break rules defined in it need a rework, because they don't follow the standards. The standards are documented here: https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/#possibilities_for_linebreaking_between_characters , and all affected characters are listed here: https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/tables/table_en3.pdf We have different rules, depending what kind of character is surpassing the text width (or is in its last position).

Rule 2: After opening Brackets and opening quotation marks, line breaking is prohibited (but not before). ‘“(〔[{〈《「『【 The actual programmed behaviour by the nihongo script is that these characters jump to the next line and take the previous character with them. This behaviour is wrong. They should jump to the next line without taking the previous character with them, just like any regular character.

The correct behaviour can be seen in LibreOffice Writer in action. Can you provide a minimal example because this should be correct and if not it's a bug. Rule 3: Comma (tōten), full width comma, full stop 、,。 The actual programmed behaviour by the nihongo script is that, if in the position which exceeds the line width, these characters jump to the next line and take the previous character with them.

Rules 4, 5, ...: Combinations of inseparable characters... (see https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/#possibilities_for_linebreaking_between_character ) and eventually more, which I didn't test. It might be useful to define three scripts nihongo_loose, nihongo_strict and nihongo_very_strict which each implement one of the 3 cases described here: https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/#addendum_a According the *line gap* (Otared uses \setupwhitespace[big], which is exceeding common line gaps), I'd like to quote from https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/ : /It is common that the line gap for the kihon-hanmen is set to a value between half-em spacing and the one em spacing of the character frame used for the kihon-hanmen. Half-em spacing can be chosen in cases where the line length is short, but one em spacing or close to it is more appropriate when the line length is longer than 35 characters./ I like the standard line gap which is provided by ConTeXt, which is equivalent to \setupwhitespace/[0pt]/. Even when using ruby, it works well. I found the best voffset for ruby to be -1.7ex. The \setupwhitespace setting controls the distance between paragraphs but you're looking for the \setuplinespace command. The *line adjustment* provided by ConTeXt by default is not meeting the needs for Japanese (and Chinese) text, which follow a grid pattern. Especially the last line of a paragraph is squeezed, which is "hurting the eye". When characters need to jump to the next line due to previously discussed line breaking rules, ConTeXt seems to apply "Line adjustment by inter-character spacing expansion", which is a valid method according to https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/#line_adjustment , although "Line adjustment by inter-character spacing reduction" is preferred. The last point which ConTeXt is missing, when talking about Japanese typesetting, is vertical writing. Vertical typesetting is possible but only for small text blocks which fit on a single page. Typesetting text which spans multiple pages isn't supported yet (it was possible ages ago with MkII) because nobody needed it yet. Wolfgang ___ If your question

[NTG-context] Re: Two bugs with descriptions in ConTeXt.
SirColeman via ntg-context schrieb am 13.02.2024 um 22:04: The first bug is that descriptions interfere with the counters, resulting in the peculiar behavior demonstrated in the resulting PDF. Still no bug and there is no need to create your own counter because enumerations exist which are descriptions with a counter. Unless I'm mistaken, I think it happens because the head of the description is evaluated twice, thus incrementing the counter twice---at least, that's the only explanation for how the number is incremented by 2 each time. Further, this issue seems to persist whether we're using macros or writing \incrementcounter directly. The solution is to either make sure that the head of descriptions is evaluated only once, or document that text placed as the head of descriptions is meant to be evaluated twice, if there's a good reason for doing so. Of course, this silly example of incrementing counters can be subdued by placing the \incrementcounter directly in the after option when customizing descriptions. But it demonstrates the issue. What you're supposed to do here is to increment the counter *before* you use the counter value. As you guessed the content of the title is evaluated multiple times to get the width of the description title, in cases where a counter is incremented in such a case (very common when you have counters in a table cell) you use the trialtypesetting mode to increment only once. I've tried to make the examples given be as varied as possible, demonstrating the different ways in which descriptions interact with the counter. The second bug is that descriptions, or at least that's my intuitive expectation, shouldn't interfere with the bullets of items. I expect that the bullet stays where it is, and the description is placed next to it. But what happens is that the bullet is shifted to the right, making it overlap with the description's head, which isn't pretty. Is this even a real world example? The reason why the bullet points are at the wrong position is that descriptions and items use the same mechanism to set the text offset on the left and right sides and when you combine both mechanism the values are added. In case you you have a document where a descriptions appear as part of an item I suggest to use a different alternative (e.g. serried) for the description layout.
