Re: [NTG-context] the --path option
Hi all,
to answer the question myself is: yes --path is the right option.
I wrote a build script that calls context inside a deep nested directory
like this:
context --path="${environmentdir}" --result=${project}.pdf ${project}.tex
The variable ${environmentdir} is created by the script. Everything
works fine.
But now I would like to use a second path variable in a style file
instead of this long relative path:
\setupexternalfigures[directory={../../../hs.pub.bilder},local]
Any idea how to achieve this?
TIA
Jan Ulrich Hasecke

[NTG-context] the --path option
Hi all, in my document I have to set a long path to my environment files: \environment ../../../hs.pub.context/env-fonts I wonder if I can use the option --path to set hs.pub.context as input folder to look for environment files. But I have no idea how to pass a "list" to this option as --help tells, and if it is the right option to achieve what I want.

[NTG-context] typescripts and variants
Hi In my current project I need to use different variants if the Noto Serif font (Regular, Medium, Semi Condensed Bold, Regular ExtraBold.) Is my understanding of typescripts correct that I cannot have bold and extrabold in the same typescript? And that I need a typescript for regular and one for the semicondensed variants?

Re: [NTG-context] Setup output name from within ConTeXt document

I can do it on the command line by adding --result="CustomName.pdf", but I'd need to do it according to certain variables in the content of the file itself... You can set a different name at the first line of your document, e.g. % result="newfilename" but this is only a alternative to the result-argument on the command line. Setupinteraction[title="CustomName.pdf"] will just set the internal pdf name, not the file system name. With \setupinteraction you can set/change metadata values but not the file name.

Hans is working on a new mechanism and has recently been thinking about integrating (some of) the functionality of this module. As far as I remember, it was mkii. (And I was the one who pushed Hans to do work on it, but could never really come up with a reasonable interface and specifications.) So I would say yes, it is more or less obsolete; I wouldn't start a project with it.
