[NTG-context] using lua fonts

[Ulrike Fischer]

I'm trying to run one of the examples of fonts-mkiv.pdf

I copied the code from 4.5 Lua fonts to a file
"fonts-demo-rule.lua". This lua file is in the same directory as my
test file.

Then I tried

\definefont
[MyRuleFont]
[file:fonts-demo-rule.lua*default sa 1]

\starttext

{\MyRuleFont So when we use it we get text }

\stoptext

but I get in the log

fonts > defining > forced type 'lua' of 'fonts-demo-rule' not found
fonts > defining > font with asked name 'fonts-demo-rule' is not
found using lookup 'file'
fonts > defining > unknown font 'fonts-demo-rule', loading aborted
fonts > defining > unable to define 'fonts-demo-rule.lua' as
'MyRuleFont--0'

The file itself is found (I can see its path later on). What is
going on here?

[NTG-context] ToC as itemize

[Henning Hraban Ramm]

Hi again,
Alan Bowen invented this interesting setup where the table of contents is to be 
included in an itemize.
E.g.

   Foreword   I
1. Smth unrelated .. II
2. Author: Title ...  1
3. Author: Title ...  5

etc.
Only 2. and 3. come from a "list" of chapters, other entries are added manually.


The attached not-really-minimal working example also handles the author setup – 
IRL we use a lot of user variables for metadata that needs different 
representation in ToC and titling.

This is the core code:

\define[1]\ChapterTocEntry{%
  \startitem
\structurelistuservariable{author}:
#1\leaderfill\currentlistentrypagenumber
  \stopitem
}

\definelist[chapter][%
alternative=b,
interaction=all,
criterium=all,
textcommand=\ChapterTocEntry,
pagecommand=\gobbleoneargument,
]

\startContentsList
%\sym{}Preface\leaderfill\at{Preface} % Preface unnumbered

\startitem Test entry\leaderfill 123 \stopitem

\placelist[chapter][criterium=all]

\stopContentsList


The actual problem:
The chapter list entries don’t adhere to the formatting of the itemize.
I guess there’s some expansion problem, due to the \startitem inside if the 
textcommand?


Greetlings, Hraban

Re: [NTG-context] "unusual usage" (was: ConTeXt Meeting 2018 – registration)

What’s *your* unusual use?

I create books, songbooklets, forms, a magazine, my invoices and business 
letters with ConTeXt and don’t think that’s unusual...

But all the time I run into things that I can’t accomplish on my own, so maybe 
my use of ConTeXt *is* unusual?

Recently I got solutions for margin notes as I need for "my" German 
literature/linguistics magazine "Kritische Ausgabe". (There are some edge cases 
where the mechanism doesn’t work, but I found workarounds.)

At the last meeting some of you helped me a lot with image placement (bleeding 
floats etc.), so I have now a good foundation for the books I publish, e.g. our 
series of architectural guide booklets. But there are still some options open 
to desire (e.g. I never got a reliable placement on the text baseline).

While I like to show off my works, I don’t think my code is good enough for a 
presentation...

BTW I would love to publish a book about (the making of) historical-critical 
editions, as far as I found there’s (in German) only one very old one. I 
enjoyed some interesting presentations about such projects with LaTeX and 
ConTeXt, but lack the expertise myself. In case you would be interested – our 
publishing house Dreiviertelhaus would be interested...

would also need this for \startTABLE.)

On the wiki I found a command \blank[samepage], but this does not seem to work 
(at least not in MkII), because the parameter 'samepage' is not recognized.

I would be very grateful for suggestions.

you can put \testpage[4] before the \subsubject (number of lines you want)
