[NTG-context] wrong 2TOPSIDE?
Dear list,
I have the following sample:
\startmode[*first]
\startbuffer[abcde]
\setuppapersize[A5, landscape]
\setupbodyfont[100pt]
\starttext
\dorecurse{158}{%
\startmakeup[page][style=\bf\ss, align=center, pagestatus=start]
\recurselevel
\stopmakeup}
\stoptext
\stopbuffer
\savebuffer[abcde][singular.tex]
\executesystemcommand{context --purgeall
--result=\jobname-singular.pdf \jobname-singular.tex}
\ctxlua{os.remove(tex.jobname.."-singular.tex")}
\stopmode
\startnotmode[*first]
\setuppapersize[A5, landscape][A4]
\setuparranging[2TOPSIDE]
\setuplayout[page]
\setupinteractionscreen[option={portrait,paper}]
\starttext
\insertpages[\jobname-singular.pdf][width=0pt]
\stopnotmode
\stoptext
I would say that last page (number 158 on #81) is misplaced. I think it
should be on #80.
Could anyone confirm this?
I’m also experiencing issues (I don’t get the first 11 imposed pages),
because I have to use:
\executesystemcommand{context --purgeall
--result=\jobname-singular.pdf --environment=\jobname-singular.tex
\jobname-singular.xml}
Is there a fix for this?
I’m reporting this right now, but I won’t be reaching a computer until
next Wednesday. (I know I’m going to forget, if I don’t write this now.)
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

[NTG-context] Tagged PDFs from Context
Hi See this discussion. https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/5409#issuecomment-678781349 Would it be possible to generate PDFs with headings tagged like H1, H2, H3, H4..., instead of using the H tag for all levels, which seems to be required for proper rendering with some screenreaders? It seems to me that it would require modfications to the Context source code. https://source.contextgarden.net/tex/context/base/mkiv/strc-tag.lua Any ideas?

Re: [NTG-context] catch % in gsub("%", "\\letterpercent")
In Lua patterns % is a socalled magic character like ^$ etc. These are esacped
with a %. Thus %% is what you need in the first string.

I have and \xmlraw command that gives some text with percent signs.
ConTeXt parses them as comments (so no output).

While I was a long time user of InDesign (2.0 to CS 5.5), and QuarkXPress before, I don’t use it any more, my old copy doesn’t run any more on my current MacOS. Nowadays I use Serif’s Affinity Publisher/Designer for graphical layout jobs (also not free and not a full replacement, but good enough if you know how to work around the quirks, and much cheaper). The terms and measures of graphical layout programs aren’t directly translatable to TeX since the concepts are just too different. Even the pt is different.
