Not free but good value: Fontspring have a font called Ophian that looks (to my 
untrained eye!) a reasonable match with Optima.



$22 for the first licence added to the shopping cart then reductions show for 
the subsequent licences. I'm guessing you'll need two: desktop in order to 
install on a PC and publish a printed book, and eBook to allow distribution of 
a PDF or eBook, so 33 USD in total. There's no time limit nor number of copies 
limit as far as I can see - just one eBook licence per title.

Maybe there will be VAT etc added when you get to checkout - I didn't go that 
far.

Good point about the MPLS.

I was using https://www.geolocation.com/ to do the geolocation and it claims 
Warsaw but that - in hindsight - is wrong. So "us-was" is likely to be 
Washington as per the name and is also the device "taking the blame" for the 
entirety of the MPLS latency. Since that will include the transatlantic time 
the extra 75ms isn't quite so bad as it looks.

This timeout is almost certainly because the last server has been set to ignore 
UDP traffic.

  $ traceroute -I lmtx.pragma-ade.com

uses TCP packets rather than UDP and we get the final response much more 
quickly, which is:

17  d57d1da5.static.ziggozakelijk.nl (213.125.29.165)
which is in Hasselt. :-)

Yes. A bit of weirdness in Canada - which could be down to a fault causing 
re-routing. But the Warsaw hop, with its huge increase in latency looks like a 
misconfiguration.

Update: just tried it through a VPN that emerges in Vancouver and I also get 
the trip to Warsaw with a big increase in latency. For some reason Aorta.net 
routing some (or maybe all) traffic through Warsaw - perhaps that's where the 
NSA pay them to spy on on all US->Europe traffic? [1]

[1] Joke. (Besides, they'd never do it for traceroute packets because they'd 
want to hide their snooping.) ;-)  [2]
[2] Also a joke ;-)

I'm not sure which of these needs to be the larger. Perhaps that could be the

Re: [NTG-context] Font error in PDF using ConTeXt and Kepler typeface

Another check you can do is to run

  $ mtxrun --script font --list --name '--pattern=*kepler*'

and see if the file for keplerstd-light is the one you are expecting and not a 
second copy somewhere that is upsetting things.

I'd be happy with that, especially as there is already headstyle and headcolor.

If you disregard the Wiki page instructions to use \bTH...\eTH then you can 
format the header using:

  \bTABLEhead
\bTR \bTH Column 1 \eTH \bTD[color=blue] Column 2 \eTD \eTR
  \eTABLEhead

but I'm not sure what the consequences might be, if any. You lose the default 
bold heading so maybe that's all /bTH.../eTH is adding?

It would be nice to have a way of specifying the header explicitly. My 
suggestion would be to have:
- \setupTABLE[r][head][...] affect just the header
- \setupTABLE[r][next][...] affect the new page header
- \setupTABLE[r][first|last|body][...] affect the first, or last, or only the 
body rows (i.e. not the header or footer)
- \setupTABLE[r][foot][...] affect just the footer 

[r][last] (and [r][-1]) would represent the last body row (but not the footer 
row if one has been requested).

Extending to the formatting of header/footer/next etc columns is not quite so 
neat as an extra parameter is required, e.g. [c][][head][...] to reference 
column n in the header. For consistency the syntax [c][][body][...] could be 
an option.

Me neither. :)

For me, \setupTABLE [c] [1] [width=3cm] fixes the width of column 1 and forces 
long text to wrap.

I'm not sure what your \textwidth comment relates to because \setupTABLE [c] 
[1] [width=.2\textwidth] works as expected for me.

\setupTABLE [split=repeat] % works as expected for me
\setupTABLE [header=repeat] % doesn't work for me

One way to achieve what you want is to have a dummy last row.

\setupTABLE[frame=off]
\setupTABLE[row] [first] [topframe=on,bottomframe=on,style=bold]
\setupTABLE[row][2][topframe=on]
\setupTABLE[row][2][topframe=off,rightframe=on,leftframe=on,framecolor=lightgray]
\setupTABLE[row][3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22][frame=on,

\setupTABLE[row] [last] [topframe=on,framecolor=black, height=0pt]

\starttext

The answer turns out to be trivial - just needed to use \long\def for

\long\def\stopMyExample{\stoptabulate}  %% long def required here

[NTG-context] Problem with \stoptabulate

[Bruce Horrocks via ntg-context]

I have a technical manual style document that requires a lot of examples to be 
included.

They can easily be typeset with a table so I thought I would save myself some 
typing by defining macros for the various bits of a tabulate table. Thus I have:

\def\startMyExample{\starttabulate[|r|c|l|p|]}
\def\stopMyExample{\stoptabulate}
\def\MyExampleItem#1#2#3{\NC #1 \NC \rightarrow \NC #2 \NC #3 \NC\NR}

\starttext
Here are some examples...

\startMyExample
  \MyExampleItem{before}{after}{change before into after}
  \MyExampleItem{straw}{gold}{Rumpelstiltskin}
\stopMyExample
%\stoptabulate

\stoptext

The problem is that \stopMyExample doesn't work - the \stoptabulate isn't 
recognised and I get an end of file reached error. If use a straight 
\stoptabulate then it works as expected. That's fine but it would be nice, from 
an aesthetic point of view, to have start & stop 'paired' commands in the 
source.

Presumably some sort of deep ConTeXt fu is going on - can anyone explain it 
please?

Re: [NTG-context] Automatic numbering of footnotes set with \note (not with \footnote)

[Bruce Horrocks via ntg-context]

I don't have the answer to your explicit question, but a work-around might be 
to put the footnotes into buffers instead of \footnotetext and then use 
/footnote[...]{\getbuffer[name]} in the body. That way ConTeXt sees them in 
order of appearance in the body and so the numbering should be as you want.

Re: [NTG-context] rotated headers in natural tables

[Bruce Horrocks via ntg-context]

\setupTABLE inherits from \setupframed which has an orientation option.

So \bTR[orientation=90] on the header row should do it, with the content 
specified normally i.e. without using \RtH.

A quick test on one of my tables showed some issues with alignment so you may 
need to fix the 'width' (now the height) of the cells rather than let it be 
calculated by contents.

Thanks Alan but I've never used LaTeX so I've no idea what the philosophical 
differences are.

I wanted three mandatory and two optional params. One of those optional params 
is not typeset so I assumed it should be [ ] delimited and not { }.

[NTG-context] How to extend an existing macro to take optional parameters?

[Bruce Horrocks via ntg-context]

I have an existing macro that I'd like to extend.

The current definition is \define[3]\mycommand{...} which I'd like to extend to 
take an optional 4th parameter plus an optional setup parameter.

Thus I currently invoke it as:

  \mycommand{aa}{bb}{cc}

and I'd like to be able to extend it so that any of the following can be used:

  \mycommand{aa}{bb}{cc}
  \mycommand{aa}{bb}{cc}{dd}
  \mycommand{aa}{bb}{cc}{dd}[ee]

or

  \mycommand[ee]{aa}{bb}{cc}{dd}  % if this is more the ConTeXt way 

where {dd} is the optional extra parameter and, if it is present, then [ee] can 
also be optionally added (because it controls how {dd} is printed).

If it helps, the actual body of the macro can easily be a call to Lua so it's 
fine if the function takes 5 params where 4 and 5 can be nil or empty strings.

I've trawled through syst-aux.mkiv but it only covers optional numbers of [ ] 
or { } but not combinations of both (which given the vast numbers of 
combinations is perhaps not surprising!). Have I missed something obvious that 
would help me?

[NTG-context] Aaligned numbers in a matrix?

[Bruce Horrocks via ntg-context]

I'm using the following MWE to produce a matrix:

\definemathmatrix[bmatrix]
  [matrix:brackets]
  [simplecommand=bmatrix]
\starttext
$ a \rightarrow
  \bmatrix{1, 2, 3, 4; 
   2, 1, 4, 3;
   3,-4, 1,-2;
   4,-3, 2,-1} $
\stoptext

The columns with negative numbers in are centred and I would rather have them 
right-aligned so that the digits stack up above each other and the negative 
signs stick out to the left, so to speak. Is there an easy way to achieve this?

Re: [NTG-context] Chapter cover page

[Bruce Horrocks via ntg-context]

Hi Alex,

I couldn't get it to work with \tabulate so I switched to TABLE instead. The 
workaround for the horizontal mode problem is to put the chapter title into row 
two of the table. Hopefully this works with your actual text. Also I'm not sure 
where \layoutcolumnwidth is coming from so I just hard-coded a width for now. 
Lastly there are neater ways (using \setuptable) to define the table but it's 
just an example...

\define[2]\MyChapter{
   \bTABLE[frame=off]
   \bTR
 \bTD[width=4cm] \structureuservariable{author} \eTD
 \bTD \structureuservariable{bio} \eTD
   \eTR
   \bTR
 \bTD[nc=2] #1 #2 \eTD
   \eTR
   \eTABLE
}

\definehead[interview][chapter]
\setuphead[interview][
   page=right,
   command=\MyChapter,
   % insidesection={\page},
   style={\tfa},
]

\starttext
\startinterview[title={My Interview}][
   author={Jane Doe},
   year={2022},
   month={Decembre},
   bio={\input ward}
]

\dorecurse{10}{\input ward \crlf}
\stopinterview
\stoptext

Thank-you Hans, these work great - so well in fact that now I've seen the 
output I've come to the conclusion that the scaled text would be too small and 
what I should really do is flag the one or two addresses in our mailing list 
that have long lines and print them on larger labels in a separate run. :-)

[NTG-context] Problem using \scale

[Bruce Horrocks via ntg-context]

I'm printing address labels. Sometimes an address has a long line that is too 
long to fit on the label with the result that it wraps. Instead of wrapping, I 
thought it would be nice to try and auto-scale the label and shrink it so that 
the long line just fits.

I'm using \crlf to break the address into lines and this doesn't play well with 
the \scale command, see MWE below, where the second frame is just one long line 
as the \crlf's seem to be ignored.

Is there a simple solution that allows \crlf and also scale?

\starttext
\startbuffer[address]
Name \crlf
Address 1 \crlf
A long line that wraps \crlf
Town \crlf
Postcode
\stopbuffer
\framed[width=3cm,align=flushleft]{\getbuffer[address]}
\framed[width=3cm,align=flushleft]{\scale[factor=fit]{\getbuffer[address]}}
\stoptext

[NTG-context] A corner case relating to corners!

[Bruce Horrocks via ntg-context]

In the Wiki  the examples 
for corner styles 00 - 09 no longer work and the single digit values 0 - 9 need 
to be used instead. (Styles 10 upwards continue to work as per the page.)

Is this a deliberate change and the Wiki needs to be updated or should the 
change be reverted for backwards compatibility?

MWE:

\starttext
\framed[corner=7]{Some text}
\stoptext

With value 07 the frame doesn't display, with value 7 the frame appears as 
expected. (Readers with a long-haired white cat can try corner=007) ;-)

[NTG-context] Printing mailing list labels

[Bruce Horrocks via ntg-context]

If you've ever struggled with Word's or (worse) LibreOffice's mail merge 
features to print a mailing list onto sticky labels then this might be of 
interest.

I've created some macros and an example file showing how to print address 
labels on Avery L7160 paper (which is 7 rows of 3 labels on A4) and uploaded 
them here.


Features:
- full control over label content (can even differ from one label to the next 
if necessary)
- easily use up a part-used sheet of labels to avoid waste
- read address data from a CSV file
- easily support different address formats for different international 
destinations
- option to preview on plain paper
- even label your labels in the page header so you remember why you printed 
them!


No licence - the files are placed in the public domain. Feedback welcome.

Re: [NTG-context] Minor bug in Lua or ConTeXt

[Bruce Horrocks via ntg-context]

Thanks Hans.

Before Pablo spends too much effort on the wiki it's worth pointing out that 
this only happened because I was in-line documenting the Lua function that I 
had written and wanted to name the ConTeXT macro that would invoke it - so it's 
trivial for me to avoid this error.

Perhaps the Wiki only needs to point out that if you get a Lua related error 
and the error log lists the entire contents of \startluacode ... \stopluacode 
then a possible source of the error is a \command somewhere in there?

For some reason your PNG images came through in extremely low resolution. 
Without having the ConTeXt source it's hard to say for sure what's happening - 
for example, I would have expected the text on the second page to be at the 
bottom of the first even if there wasn't room for the image - because that was 
what was happening in your first example.

Or Pablo's answer shown another way... change the end of the example to:

\starttext
\dorecurse{11}{\input ward}
\placerecipe{}{\externalfigure[dum]}
\dorecurse{5}{\input ward} %% extra
\stoptext

and the extra text shows how much space the image requires. Holding a ruler up 
to the screen you can see that it won't fit.

The problem seems to be that the image is reserving space for a caption even 
though there isn't a caption. A work-around is to change \setupfloat to the 
following:

 \setupfloat
 [recipe]
 [default={right,none,high}]

and then the image fits as you want it to.

[NTG-context] \setuparranging values for perfect bound A5 on A3?

[Bruce Horrocks via ntg-context]

I have a book to be perfect bound[1] and I'm trying to work out what imposition 
to use.

The printer would like 4 A5 pages laid out on A3 e.g.

+---+---+
|   |   |
| a | b |
|   |   |
+---+---+
|   |   |
| c | d |
|   |   |
+---+---+

so that he can cut the paper and simply stack a, b, c, & d on top of each other 
and then put them in the binding machine[2].

If the book is 40 pages long, say, then stack 'a' has page 1 on the top, page 2 
on the reverse, then the next sheet has page 3 and 4, and so on down to the 
last sheet which has page 9 on the front and page 10 on the back. Stack 'b' 
would have page 11 on the front, 12 on the back and so on, so that each stack 
has a quarter of the book.

Is this something LMTX can do and if so what combination of \setuplayout and 
\setuppaper do I need to use? If they can be printed in reverse order then 
great but I assume the printer can do that fairly easily. If not, is there a 
recommended external program that can do it?

I've tried \setuplayout[4*2] and XY with 2x2 but neither output is what I need.

Thanks in advance.

[1] glued spine (if that term isn't used outside the UK)
[2] I'm sure it's actually harder than that. :-)

The colour change is because those links are on the same page that you are 
jumping to. When you have more text in your document they will be consistent. 
You can override the colors with \setupinteraction[state=start,color=black] for 
example if you wish.

You need focus=standard to jump direct but only when the viewer is in scrolling 
mode. It's explained on the Wiki.

I too would prefer less space around the times e.g. \starttext 3.00×10\high{8} 
\stoptext is fine (except for the 8 which is nicer in \unit).

[NTG-context] Is there an "align with item on facing page" option?

[Bruce Horrocks via ntg-context]

Is there a way to align text with an item on the facing page?

I'm typesetting author biographies for a book and I'm doing two per page. The 
author's name appears on a line of its own in \tfa size and then the bio text 
follows. Ideally I'd like their names aligned so that all four (on a two page 
spread) appear nicely symmetrical.

Currently I'm using \godown[\dimexpr80mm-\pagetotal] (for A5 pages) between 
each pair which works nicely in that if the first biography is too long it 
overlaps and I know to edit it to be shorter.

However, if the second biography is a little long, it pushes the first back up 
the page a little - maybe only one line - and then it no longer aligns with the 
the one on the facing page. If I could somehow tell ConTeXt to vertically align 
the author names then that might do the job?

I've tried using two frames above each other with fixed min and maxheight but 
then I can't get the author's thumbnail picture to place properly and have the 
text wrap around it.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for the suggestions Richard and Mikael.

For the benefit of the list I went with the following quick'n'dirty™ approach 
which will be good enough:

\def\index{\dosingleempty\debugIndex}
\def\debugIndex[#1]#2{%
  \iffirstargument
\null% Ignore it for now
  \else
\inmargin[color=blue,stack=yes,style=ssxx]{#2}%
  \fi
}

\def\startregister{\dotripleempty\debugStartRegister}
\def\debugStartRegister[#1][#2][#3]#4{%
\inmargin[color=darkgreen,stack=yes,style=ssxx]{↓ #2}%
}

\def\stopregister[#1][#2]{\inmargin[color=darkred,stack=yes,style=ssxx]{↑ #2}}

[NTG-context] Quick way to proofread / check index entries?

My own fault for not thinking head :-) but I have a largeish text with a lot of 
\index{...} entries. To make life easier for the proofreader I would like to 
temporarily redefine \index to wrap it or replace it with something that will 
highlight indexed items in the text where they occur, e.g. change their colour.

I could do this with a global find and replace (across many files) to replace 
\index with \MyIndex, say, and then define a \MyIndex that understands the 
various parameter options but this is a hassle. Before I do this, is there 
anything already pre-built?

The ultimate aim is to enable a proofreader to see each indexed term where it 
appears in order to judge whether the term deserves to be in the index at all. 
(Working backwards from the index itself is possible but clicking a page 
number, trying to find the term on the page, then reading the context to make a

[NTG-context] Bug (?) with \placefigure[right]

\setuppapersize [A5] [A5]
\starttext
\dorecurse{12}{
\subject{Some heading}
\placefigure[right] {} {\externalfigure[cow.pdf] [width=3cm]}
\input lorem

\stoptext

I actually want \placefigure[right,none] in my real doc but that also goes awry.

My actual requirement is to have a set of short biographies, including a small

wrap text around the photo that avoids this issue would be welcome.

If you must use a Linux that makes life hard... ;-)

I'm guessing you're trying to prepare ConTeXt for use in a private repository 
on a LAN so that your users can install it without needing Internet access?

ConTeXt only depends on glibc (iirc) - and it assumes it is present already. So 
do an install on a machine that does have Internet access and everything you 
need will then be self-contained in the directory you chose to install into. 
Zip up that directory and use it for subsequent installs as many times as you 
want just by unzipping it - no further Internet access required.

You'll need to set up the PATH for where you unzipped the file - but the 
install.sh file has the necessary information towards the end.

Try it and see - it's not like typical modern bloatware that pulls down 100's 
of Gbytes of dependencies willy-nilly.

The solution turned out to be really simple (for small tables at least - less 
fun if you have hundreds of pages!). Just use:

\defineconversion[Contd][~,{ (cont’d)},{ (cont’d)},{ (cont’d)},{ (cont’d)},{ 
(cont’d)},
   { (cont’d)},{ (cont’d)},{ 
(cont’d)},{ (cont’d)},{ (cont’d)},
   { (cont’d)},{ (cont’d)},{ 
(cont’d)},{ (cont’d)},{ (cont’d)},
   { (cont’d)},{ (cont’d)},{ 
(cont’d)},{ (cont’d)},{ (cont’d)} ]
\setupfloatsplitting[conversion=Contd]

This results in "Table 1 My Long table", "Table 1 (cont’d) My Long table" and 
so on.

[NTG-context] Any way to configure \setuphead to run a setups on the stop command?

[Bruce Horrocks via ntg-context]

If I use \definehead [Chapter] [chapter] and then \setuphead[Chapter][...] I 
can specify setups to run before and after \startChapter.

Is there any way to specify setups that are run before & after \stopChapter?

My real problem is that I have a double-sided book with new chapters starting 
on a right hand page. If an extra left-hand page gets added then that extra 
page is blank except for the header which continues from the previous chapter. 
This makes the page look a bit odd and I'd rather the header was blank.

I can fix this by ensuring each chapter emits a final page (to ensure the 
headers on the last text-bearing page of the chapter are shown) and then 
clearing the header temporarily using: 
\stopChapter\page\setupheader[state=empty]

This works so I wondered if there was a way of adding it to \stopChapter ?

I can edit each individual chapter file easily enough so no need to add it as a 
feature if it's not already available in some way.

Yes - I had to do the same for a font called Venetian 301 for which I found 
these 4 files:

FilenameName as it appears to MacOS
--
Venetian301BT-Roman.otf Venetian 301 Regular
Venetian301BT-Italic.otfVenetian 301 Italic
Venetian301BT-Bold.otf  Venetian 301 Bold
venetian-301-demi-bt.ttfVenetian Dm BT Demi

They each had the fi and fl ligatures, but at different character positions 
depending on which file, and they weren't recognised by default. So I used the 
following code to add them (and add en and em dash substitution as well).

%%  start
\startluacode

Note that the names v1, v2 and v3 are entirely arbitrary. Also, the 
\starttypescript section sets the font features to be just those I've defined - 
potentially losing whatever 'default' would provide. But since the font doesn't 
seem to have a lot of features in the first place I've so far not noticed any 
problems. I'm sure a real expert could tell you how to retain 'default' and add 
the ligatures, if needed.

I've adapted this example from the metafun-p manual by adding some "write" 
statements.

\starttext
\startMPpage
  
numeric done[][], i, j, n ; n := 0 ;
forever :
i := round(uniformdeviate(10)) ;
j := round(uniformdeviate(10)) ;
if unknown done[i][j] :
drawdot
(i*cm,j*cm)
withpen pencircle scaled 0.5cm
withcolor darkred;
n := n + 1 ;
done[i][j] := n ;

write "done[" & tostring(i) & "][" & tostring(j) & "] := " & 
tostring(n) & " ;" to "mp_test_file.txt" ;

fi ;
exitif n = 10 ;

endfor ;

write EOF to "mp_test_file.txt" ;
   
\stopMPpage
\stoptext

This results in the expected graphic but also a local file (in the same 
directory as the source) called "mp_test_file.txt" that contains:

done[9][1] := 1 ;
done[4][3] := 2 ;
done[5][3] := 3 ;
done[5][1] := 4 ;
done[2][9] := 5 ;
done[8][6] := 6 ;
done[9][10] := 7 ;
done[9][7] := 8 ;
done[10][2] := 9 ;
done[6][5] := 10 ;

I think, with a bit of judicious use of "write" statements to add some ConTeXt 
/ MP setup code, it would be possible to include the output from the previous 
run as MP source of the next run.

Hope this helps, or at least provides some food for thought.

(Note you need to delete the mp_test_file.txt before re-running else it fails.)

[NTG-context] New tabulate features broken under new maths release

[Bruce Horrocks via ntg-context]

Hi Hans,

A few months back you announced some new tabulate features and gave some 
examples, from which I have taken the following MWE:

\starttext
\starttabulate[|lG{}|lG{}|]
\NC \showglyphs \setalignmentcharacter{=}111=111 \NC 
\setalignmentcharacter{=}111=111 \NC\NR
\stoptabulate
\stoptext


This works under "ConTeXt  ver: 2022.01.10 08:36 LMTX  fmt: 2022.1.13  int: 
english/english" but fails to compile under "ConTeXt  ver: 2022.07.06 21:42 
LMTX  fmt: 2022.7.9  int: english/english" with the Lua error:

callback error: 
...-64/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/node-ali.lmt:366: attempt to 
index a nil value (field '?')

function <...-64/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/node-pro.lmt:146>  

Narrowing it down a bit, it seems to be the use of G{} as the MWE works with a 
plain \starttabulate[|l|l|] on the latest ConTeXt.

Do you have an anti-virus product installed?

In the past I've noticed that Symantec sometimes gives a false positive on some 
of the ConTeXt files as they are installed and silently deletes them thinking 
they contain malware.

The result is a broken ConTeXt because files are missing but you have no idea 
which files are missing. :-(

Try temporarily disabling AV and then do a complete re-install into an empty 
C:/data/context directory.

I'm probably missing something here but...

1) The file you attached doesn't include the word "wolfing", nor "wolfin". I 
assume they need to be added into the f|i section? Wolfish *is* present so I'm 
not sure why it's being ignored unless there is an error being generated as a 
result of point (2) below, causing the whole file to be ignored.

2) Your suffixes list has comma separators - all the other word lists use 
whitespace as a separator.

3) Lastly, dumb question but... have you checked that you edited the right 
file? In my ConTeXt install there are two "lang-en.llg" files - one under 
/context-osx-64/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/patterns/lmtx and the other 
under .../patterns/mkxl

You could put the move command into the Bash script.
e.g.
context --purgeall --mode=THISSECTIONONLYHARD 
--arguments="o=_identifikacni_udaje,k=1,pk=1,ppk=1,t=,s=14" 
—result="svp_identifikacni_udaje.pdf" _identifikacni_udaje
mv "svp_identifikacni_udaje.pdf" "pdfresult"

For the benefit of others, the error is:

tex memory  > bumping category 'token' failed, details: all=8000 | 
ini=495183 | max=1000 | mem=1000 | min=100 | ptr=10002079 |

I can't see where max token memory is defined to try and increase it. The only 
reference seems to be in ~/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/luat-cod.lmt 
but uncommenting and increasing had no obvious effect.

Re: [NTG-context] Compiling a large metapost document

Hi Stefan,

What exactly are you asking for help with?

The previous file was 12MB and simply ran out of resource when compiled. The 
new file is 812KB and compiles provided you remove the references to 
\setxheight[...] because \setxheight generates an error.

Re: [NTG-context] XML Namespaces and XML Setups

[Bruce Horrocks via ntg-context]

I haven't seen it explicitly documented - my cue to add it to the Wiki I guess!

I work with XML a fair bit and, IMHO, the WWW consortium docs do a very poor 
job of explaining namespaces because they make them seem much more complicated 
than they are. Essentially, a tag with a namespace identifier is just another 
tag i.e. treat all the characters, including the colon, as the tag name. Armed 
with that knowledge I just created a second tag definition in the sample code 
you posted.

Seven days is a big time commitment, unless you are a major user of ConTeXt. Is 
there a possibility to split it up into "professional" during the week and 
"hobbyist" over the weekend so people could come for just the weekend, or the 
whole week?

Perhaps you could start by typesetting a technical source rather than prose?

I suggest trying to typeset the UK Meteorological Office's Shipping Forecast :-)

- web page version
  


- XML source data
  


- as broadcast on the Radio
  

It's a good (in my opinion) source because it is amenable to being printed in 
several different ways: one might be to simply copy the webpage's layout, while 
another could be to use columns to fit more onto a single page of text.



Alternatively, a much more demanding exercise would be to typeset the user 
manual for the XML editing software "Oxygen".
  

The XML source for the manual is here:

Re: [NTG-context] Crediting copyright on photographs

[Bruce Horrocks via ntg-context]

Thank-you Adam, Hraban and Richard for your suggestions.

In the end it was remarkably simple:

\starttext
\definecollector[example]
\setcollector [example] {\externalfigure[cow][width=6cm,frame=off]}
\setcollector [example] [corner={right,bottom},location={right,top}]
{\rotate[rotation=90]{\copyright A great artist}}
\placefigure [ ] [fig:cow] {A fine figure of a cow} 
{\composedcollector{example}}
\stoptext

In the above the cow is drawn with the figure caption below as normal and with 
the copyright text running upwards along the edge of the right-hand edge of the 
image. And if you want to fine tune the space between the image and the text 
then it's easy to \framed the text and play around with the size and offsets.

[NTG-context] Crediting copyright on photographs

[Bruce Horrocks via ntg-context]

I need to include the copyright acknowledgement / photographer credit on an 
image but I'm not sure what's the best way to do it.

Option 1: I can add the acknowledgement to the end of the \placefigure caption 
text:

e.g.   \placefigure{A picture of a cow. Image of a cow that may or may not be 
under copyright anymore.}{\externalfigure[cow][height=6cm]}

then the copyright bit will appear in the Table of Figures which I don't really 
want to happen. Is there a way to truncate this?


Option 2: some magazines print the copyright credit running up the side of the 
image, independently of the caption. I'd quite like to do this and wondered if 
anyone had already written something they could share?

[NTG-context] Word wrap of 'part' titles

[Bruce Horrocks via ntg-context]

In the MWE below the 'part' title is centred but on one line only and, because 
it is a long title, the beginning and end are lost off the sides of the page.

If it were a 'chapter' title then I could insert '\\' to cause a line break at 
that point. However this does not seem to work for 'part'.

Is there a way of making 'part' titles wrap the same way that 'chapter' titles 
do?

% ---begin---
\define[2]\placePartTitle{\midaligned{#2}}

\definehead [Part] [part]
\setuphead[Part]
  [ placehead=yes,

You have Hombrew installed in a non-standard location. Mine is in 
/usr/local/Cellar with the executables linked into /usr/local/bin.

But, assuming other Homebrew commands work when run from Terminal then you 
might still be okay.

"Yes" to creating the path but "no" to copying. Create a symbolic link instead.

So, in Terminal:

  $ cd $TEXROOT/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/lib/luametatex/zint

  # In my case I used the following:
  $ ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/zint/2.10.0/lib/libzint.dylib libzint.so

  # For you with Homebrew in a different location, try:
  $ ln -s /opt/homebrew/Cellar/zint/2.10.0/lib/libzint.dylib libzint.so

Then steps 4 and 5 as below. I ran the MWE below: the ISBN worked, the ISBNX

Not sure what will happen here - try it and see. Whenever my table layouts go

Re: [NTG-context] Make footnote/endnote number not superscript?

Thank-you all - the textcommand= was the necessary magic incantation. 

I will certainly use the linknote suggestion, not least because I'll still need 
regular footnotes as well.

And if I can pluck up courage to "move" the \setupnote Wiki page over to the 
new style (I don't know how to do an "undo" if it all goes wrong!) I will 
document the parameters discovered so far.

[NTG-context] Make footnote/endnote number not superscript?

[Bruce Horrocks via ntg-context]

I'm editing a book that will be printed, however the authors have included URLs 
which will no doubt suffer from "bit rot" in no time at all. I think it will 
make the main text cleaner if I use endnotes rather than include the URL 
in-line in the text or as a (distracting) footnote. So when the author writes 
"See my video at " I will print "See my video at link 1". At 
the back of the book, in an appendix somewhere, I then use \placenotes to 
display a table of the actual URLs for any readers that want to type them in. 

I want the "link 1" bit to be normal text rather than superscript so it's more 
visible. Using the \setupnote[textstyle=...] command I can change the style of 
the number but not the superscript placing.

Is there a way to remove the superscript placing, please?

Alternative solutions welcome: the URLs printed in the book will be mirrored on 
a web page associated with the book for as long as possible so that content 
that vanishes over time can be replaced with Internet Archive links as they are 
discovered. However the order of the book isn't finalised yet so I'd like the 
numbering to be sequential regardless of whether I move a chapter around later 
on. This is partly the reason for using \endnote because I can use a reference 
elsewhere in the text if necessary.

Thanks in advance.

Ditto - working for me as well.

I completely deleted everything and re-installed using the 64-bit MacOS ARM 
image on this page.


The normal install steps worked: i.e unzip; move the "context-osx-arm64" parent 
directory to where you want it to be (/home/Users//Applications) in my 
case; ran the install script  using the command ". ./install.sh" and it all 
installed nicely. I then added the path it told me about to my .zprofile file 
and to the engine file that I use. Logged out and in just to make sure the 
paths were picked up and it all works from both command line and from TeXShop.

The instance of mtxrun that TeXShop finds is entirely down to path settings 
and/or TexShop preferences settings (in its 'engine' files) and nothing to do 
with the security permissions.

Regarding the security permissions there is something else to check: go to 
System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Privacy tab -> Full Disk Access.
Make sure 'TeXShop.app' and 'Terminal.app' are both in the list.

If that still doesn't work then there is one more thing but it will be a PITA. 
:-(

And that is to install Xcode and the Xcode developer tools. This then gives you 
another Privacy entry in the left hand list called "Developer Tools" and, above 
the apps list on the right, the description reads "Allow the apps below to run 
software locally that does not meet the system's security policy." Add 
Terminal.app here.

A simpler solution as you only have 10 chapters might be to 'manually' add the 
facing page rather than fiddle with the definition of \startchapter.

For example:

\definestartstop [ChapterPreface]
  [ before={\setups{ChapterPrefaceSetup}},
after={\page}
  ]

% which gives you the commands \startChapterPreface ... \stopChapterPreface 
which I put immediately before \startchapter in the text.

% Then use a setup to prepare the page for your image (you may only need 
\page[left] but also remember you need to stop page headers/footers etc from 
the previous chapter)
\startsetups ChapterPrefaceSetup
  \page[left]
  \setupheader[state=empty]
  % etc
\stopsetups

% If the page setup is complicated then you might need another setup to clean 
it up afterwards. In this example there is just the "after=" in the definition.

% Now you can print your images by using:

\starttext
\startChapterPreface
  \externalfigure[cow.pdf]
\stopChapterPreface
\startchapter[title={firstchapter}}
...
\stopchapter

\startChapterPreface
  \externalfigure[another_cow.pdf]
\stopChapterPreface
\startchapter{title={second chapter}]
...
\stopchapter
\stoptext

Hope this helps.

Please see the attached PDF which is your sample with the command 
\showmakeup[vbox] added after \starttext

The green line shows how much space is needed to fully print item (b).  Item 
(c) will need the same amount of space, shown by the red line. However, this 
would take you into the footer area (shown by the blue arrows), so item (c) is 
split: the item label fits into the space at the bottom of the column and so is 
printed there; the fraction doesn't fit and so is moved to the next column.

We can confirm this theory by setting the footer to nothing with the command 
\setuplayout[footer=0mm] and then the columns are as you wish. However that 
only works for this example and the situation would inevitably arise again.

The solution to your problem would be some way of forcing the item body to stay 
with the label. I don't know what that command is - hopefully someone here can 
tell us.

[snip]

Removing "alternative=serried" gives a more grid like layout and (possibly 
coincidentally) the problem of the 'c' and 'h' labels being orphaned at the 
bottom of the page goes away.

However the Exercici 1.3 heading is now too close to the end of the previous 
set. Perhaps changing your "before=" setting might improve things.

Have you tried 

\startitemize[columns,three]

instead of \startcolumns?

There are examples in the manual on page 16


The spacing can be adjusted as well if the default is too big.

Use the force Luke...

e.g.
\placefigure [force] [fig1] {Caption} {\externalfigure [filename.png]}

The location= option is for where on the page (e.g. in a margin, in the main 
text) the picture will go, the actual page it appears on is controlled by 
'here' or 'force' or the default which is to float along until it finds what it 
thinks is a good place.

[NTG-context] \setupheadertexts not working when text contains \subject

[Bruce Horrocks via ntg-context]

I've found an unexpected interaction between \setupheadertexts and the \subject 
command, and I'm hoping that someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Version:  current version: 2022.01.10 08:36

I'm trying to set a book whereby
- chapter title pages have no headers
- left hand (even) pages have the chapter title in the left header and the book 
title in the right header
- right hand (odd) pages have the book title in the left header and the 
author's name in the right header

The following MWE does this perfectly provided the \subject line is 
commented-out. When the \subject line is included then the author name 
disappears - there's just a blank space in the header.

MWE:
\setuppagenumbering
  [ alternative=doublesided,
location={footer},
  ]
\definefont [stylePageHeader] [Serif at 10pt]
  
\startsetups ChapterSetup
  \setupheadertexts
[{\stylePageHeader {My Book}}]  
[{\stylePageHeader{\structureuservariable{author}}}]
[{\stylePageHeader{\getmarking[Chapter]}}]  [{\stylePageHeader {My 
Book}}]  
  \setupheader[state=empty]
\stopsetups

\definehead [Chapter] [chapter]
\setuphead[Chapter]
  [ page=right,
number=no,
before={\setups{ChapterSetup}},
  ]
  
\starttext
\startChapter[title={The Strange Case of the Missing Header}] [author={Bruce}]

\dorecurse{10}{
%\subject{A heading}
\input Knuth
\par
}

\stopChapter
\stoptext

Can you not specify a full list of sections in your exporter code and then 
truncate that list to the appropriate value of n before generating the ConTeXt 
source from the truncated list?

Assuming you are using an Emacs macro to do the export then the following code 
will return the first 2 from the list of section types:

(let ((list '("part" "chapter" "section" "subsection" "subsubsection" 
"subsubsubsection" "subsubsubsubsection")))
  (butlast list (- (length list) 2)))

I stole that from StackOverflow so I'll leave it to you work out how to get 
your depth variable substituted for the 2. :-)

Note that you probably don't want "part" but I include it for completeness. 
Best to start with "chapter".

Firstly, you have an extra } in the example above.

Secondly, rules need to come inside a data section. Thus (untested):

fonts.handlers.otf.addfeature{
name = "unfio",
type = "chainsubstitution",
lookups = {
{
type = "substitution",
data = {
[ "f_i" ] = { "f", "i" }
}
}
},
data = {
rules = {
{
after = { { "o" } },
current = { { "f_i" } },
lookups = { 1 }
}
}
}
}

I'm not a user but was intrigued by Juergen's original post. In an effort to 
educate myself I found this page 
 and thought about how those 
examples might be set using ConTeXt instead. It didn't take long to realise 
that Juergen pretty much has it exactly right with his sample code.

If it would help I could have a go at setting one or two of those examples and 
put it onto the Wiki somewhere?

The only real question I have to those who produce critical editions for real: 
are the examples I've linked to useful and appropriate to be copied?

Re: [NTG-context] TeXWorks and synctex SOLVED

[Bruce Horrocks via ntg-context]

For those searching in future, the minimum needed to make synctex work with 
ConTeXt and TeXShop on macOS Monterey is:

1) Reasonably new LMTX. I have version 2021.12.10 11:41. (It might well work 
going back a few versions but not too far.)

2) TeXShop version 4.68

3) TeXShop -> Preferences -> Engines -> Alternate path *must* be set to your 
LMTX installation.
   For me on an Intel Mac that is: 
/Users/bruce/Applications/context-osx-64/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin

TeXShop uses this path to launch the program it needs to convert a synctex 
location into a file name
and line number. If this path is wrong then the editor just does nothing.

4) These two lines at the top of each source file you want to sync to/from:

% !TEX useAlternatePath
% !TEX useConTeXtSyncParser

5) Either --synctex="1" on the command line in the .engine file or 
\setupsynctex [state=start, method=max]
somewhere in your source (which can be in the current file or in an environment 
file).

6) Most times you will need to quit and restart TeXShop when you change any of 
the above.


You *do not* need:

1) You do not need the "ConTeXt2021.engine" file: you can use your own engine 
file as long as it invokes your local LMTX. So, for me, the two key commands in 
the .engine file are:

set path=(/Users/bruce/Applications/context-osx-64/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin $path 
/Library/TeX/texbin /usr/texbin /usr/local/bin)
mtxrun --script context --autogenerate "$1"

2) You do not need the following magic line:

% !TEX TS-program = ConTeXt2021

If you do include it then it will override the engine you select from the drop 
down.


Hopefully this answer will help others with this problem:- at least until the 
version of ConTeXt shipped with TexShop is new enough to support the new 
synctex and then there won't be any need to configure anything.

[NTG-context] TeXWorks and synctex

[Bruce Horrocks via ntg-context]

I'm having trouble getting the new synctex to work on a Mac. I've completely 
re-installed MacTeX and TeXWorks and synctex works fine for LaTeX documents. 
But for ConTeXt no combination of magic lines etc will work for me. The 
symptoms are... nothing - no errors but no synching, either way.

Q1: is there a log file created somewhere or a debugging flag that can be 
turned on which will tell me what is happening when I try to jump from PDF to 
editor or vice versa?

Q2: Is this the same error as reported at the bottom of 
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/SyncTeX ? Or has that been fixed?

PS: \enabletrackers[system.synctex.visualize] works as expected - i.e. the 
.synctex file seems to be correct.

  mtx-context | current version: 2021.12.03 15:20

Dalyoung: the error line that Hans quoted implies that your .tex file is on 
your iCloud drive. Try moving it to a local, hard drive.

How about:

\usecolors[svg]
\starttext
\ssa\bold
\starttabulate[|r|CT{red}c|c|CT{yellow}c|c|CT{green}c|c|CT{cyan}c|c|CT{blue}c|c|CT{darkmagenta}c|]
\NC   S = \NC 1 \NC + \NC 2 \NC + \NC 3 \NC + \NC 4 \NC + \NC 5 \NC + \NC 6 
\NC\NR
\NC + S = \NC 6 \NC + \NC 5 \NC + \NC 4 \NC + \NC 3 \NC + \NC 2 \NC + \NC 1 
\NC\NR
\HL[cornflowerblue]
\NC  2S = \NC 7 \NC + \NC 7 \NC + \NC 7 \NC + \NC 7 \NC + \NC 7 \NC + \NC 7 
\NC\NR
\stoptabulate
\stoptext

That looks right for the root directory but there's a lot more than that for a 
working install, of course.

In your first email you said you used the command "txrun": I've no idea what 
that is because I've never needed it.

I just use the 'context' command so all you need do to check the install is 
working is (from your home directory) to run the command

  $ context --version

If that gives sensible output (about 6 lines) then do

  $ context my_example.tex

where "my_example.tex" is the name of the file containing your maths expression 
example as plain text. Hopefully you will get a successful run through 
resulting in a 'my_example.pdf' file containing a typeset version of the 
expression.

If after that it's still not working then report back to this mailing list with 
the error details.

Re: [NTG-context] adding module to ConTeXt basic installation

I'm not quite sure what you mean by 'render' Python code. If you just mean to 
typeset it using a monospaced font so that the indentation is preserved then a 
simple \definetyping is probably all that you need.

e.g.
\definetyping[PythonSource][style=\mono]
\starttext
This is taken from Rosetta Code:\par
\startPythonSource
def eratosthenes2(n):
multiples = set()
for i in range(2, n+1):
if i not in multiples:
yield i
multiples.update(range(i*i, n+1, i))
 
print(list(eratosthenes2(100)))
\stopPythonSource
\stoptext

If the source code is in a file then you can read the file directly with:
\typefile [PythonSource] [ ] {filename.py}

If you wanted to typeset your code with syntax highlighting/colouring then 
there are more advanced options to \definetyping that can be used and there is 
also the Vim module.
