[NTG-context] Different authorconversion for citation alternatives and bibliographic entries
I dealt with this issue at length in a separate thread (“Different author rendering in entry citation vs. list”) a couple months after you asked about this, so for the benefit of anyone who has been following this thread specifically, I’ll describe the solution I found here. There are (at least) a few commands defined in publ-imp-ini.mkiv that can help conditionally render author fields according to cite parameters rather than list parameters. The first, \btxflushauthornormal{author} (where author can be replaced by another name-type field, if I understand correctly), will flush the specified field according to the “normal” authorconversion. There are similar commands for \btxflushauthorname, \btxflushauthornormalshort, \btxflushauthorinverted, and \btxflushauthorinvertedshort, if you need a different conversion.If you also want to use other cite-specific name-rendering parameters, like etallimit, etaldisplay, and etaloption, then the \currentbtxciteauthorbyfield (which does not accept an argument and will only render the author field or any field in the author set) will do this. To handle citation alternative-dependent formatting, you can use the \currentbtxcitealternative as follows:```\doifelse {\currentbtxcitealternative} {entry} { % Normal short conversion for entry citations \btxflushauthornormalshort{author}} { % Normal conversion for list citations \btxflushauthornormal{author}}```Joey

How can I get that match for #1 ends in the last slash (including it
"../a/b/cb/ce.b/ca.b/c/") and match for #2 ends in the last period
(excluding it, "dabc")?
it really helps to read the cld manual (or look into l-* files) as there
are plenty of efficient helpers for these things
local s = "./a/b/cb/ce.b/ca.b/c/dabc.pdf"
print(file.pathpart(s))
print(file.nameonly(s))
print(file.basename(s))
print(file.suffix(s))
print(file.replacesuffix(s,"tmp"))

Re: [NTG-context] Different author rendering in entry citation vs. list
Happy I could help! The \btxflushauthornormal command should handle the
authorconversion switch that you want. Just remember that if you need to
use different et al. settings in citations as well, you should use
\currentbtxciteauthorbyfield!

Re: [NTG-context] getting path and filename from url
Hi Pablo,
is the following what you need?
context("1. " .. url:match ".+/")
context("2a. " .. url:match "[^/]+/.+[.]") -- path and name with period
--context("2b. " .. url:match "[^/]+[^.]+$") -- name with period and
extension
context("2c. " .. (url:match "[^/]+[^.]+$") :match ".+[.]") -- name with
period
Best wishes,
Tomáš

I have no idea what you try to achieve but the check for the number of
pages in your document is never used. The layout on the first page is
different from the following pages but this is just how \definelayout
work when you use a number as first argument.
What you have to understand is that a setups-environment is just a macro
definition where you provide the names as argument to the start command.
This means
\startsetups [header]
...
\stopsetups
works the same way as
\def\internalname_header
{...}
but you have to use
\setups [header]
rather than
\internalname_header
to get the content of the environment.

The purpose of abbreviations is, well, to abbreviate. Even though ‘ème’
is seen a lot, it’s wrong because it’s too long. Source (pretty
official):
https://www.academie-francaise.fr/abreviations-des-adjectifs-numeraux
So for numbers starting from 3 the proper abbreviation is ‘e’.
For 1 and 2 it’s more complicated, however, as it depends on the
gender. For 1:
* masculine: 1er
* feminine: 1re
In addition for 2, and when the enumeration contains only 2 elements,
there is the option to use the older word ‘second(e)’:
* masculine: 2d
* feminine: 2de
For 3 elements and above, we always use the newer word ‘deuxième’,
which is abbreviated in the form of the generic ‘e’.
While that rule is optional, people who use tools like ConTeXt are
likely to pay attention to that kind of details and will probably want
to use it.
Finally, we have to add an ‘s’ to all the abbreviations if the plural
is needed (the 1st (1ers) elements, the 2nd (2ds or 2es) elements,
etc., vs the 1st (1er) element, 2nd (2d or 2e) element…).
Now, can all those subtleties be coded in a function? :)

[NTG-context] problem with MkIV/TeXlive/TEXMFCACHE
Dear experts, I want to use ConTeXt MkIV as supplied by TeXlive 2021. After installation, I ran "mtxrun --generate". I also tried "context --generate". Both create output in the wrong place. The TeXlive documentation says that ConTeXt uses TEXMFCACHE, which uses the default $TEXMFSYSVAR;$TEXMFVAR in my texmf.cnf. My TEXMFSYSVAR is /var/opt/texlive, but ConTeXt doesn't use it. Instead, it creates /opt/texmf-var and creates its output there. I don't understand why it used that path; I've never used or configured it. How can I convice ConTeXt to use TEXMFSYSVAR? Or is this a question for the TeXlive folks? Thanks for looking at this.

Re: [NTG-context] layer disappears when showframe is set
Hi Wolfgang, thanks a lot for your help.
