Joel via ntg-context schrieb am 20.09.2024 um 04:57:
I have a document that's quite long. It uses a recurse function, a bit
like this:
\starttext
\dostepwiserecurse{1}{180}{1}{%
\input chapter\recurselevel
}
\stoptext
That produces 180 chapters of content.
Anyway, my boss is upset she has to use a table of contents to navigate
to the page she wants, and so wants me to split the file into 180
separate files, which somehow is going to be easier to look at.
Honestly, she probably still won't ever actually look at it, but that's
her requirement.
The problem is, I've been splitting the file by using Print --> PDF and
choosing a custom print range, and then saving it. If I ned to repeat
that 180 times, it not only will have errors, but probably take 5-10 hours.
Is there something I can put, like \breakpdf or something that will tell
it to start a new PDF file? They can be named something like file1.pdf,
file2.pdf, etc.
\starttext
\dostepwiserecurse{1}{136}{1}{%
\input chapter\recurselevel
\breakpdf
}
\stoptext
The perhaps "obvious" answer is just make 180 *.tex files, but since
the minimal example above is like 0.01% of the complexity of the real
file, that isn't so easy...
You can use the pdf script file but it's slower than mutool or pdftk.
mtxrun --script pdf --split file.pdf

[NTG-context] Re: Table and rotation: push together 45 degree rotated cells

Hi,
I want to typeset a table where some of the column headings are really long,
while in the columns itself consists only of numbers.
Therefore, my idea was to rotate the column headings but not 90 degrees (I
found some solutions for that) but 45 degree.
It then would be beneficial to push together the rotated cells, so the text of
one cell actually starts above the previous cell.
Do you know, how to achieve that?
Here is a minimal example:
```
\startsetups[table:rotated]
\setupTABLE[frame=off]
\setupTABLE[row][first][bottomframe=on, style=bf, align={center, low}]
\setupTABLE[row][2][align=flushright]
\stopsetups
\starttext
\define\tablerotate{\dontleavehmode\rotate[rotation=-45, location=high]}
\bTABLE[setups=table:rotated]
\bTR \bTD \eTD \bTD \tablerotate{Water buffalo} \eTD \bTD
\tablerotate{Mexican redknee tarantula} \eTD \bTD \tablerotate{European turtle
dove} \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD Amount of legs \eTD \bTD \digits{4} \eTD \bTD \digits{8} \eTD
\bTD \digits{2} \eTD \eTR
\eTABLE
\stoptext
```
I would like to achieve that the text "Mexican redknee tarantula" is typeset right and
above of "Water buffalo" so that the single columns have a width that is similar to the
width of the single digit coming in the second row.
To visualize this, I patched the PDF of the above example to the desired
result. See the attachment.
You can use Metapost.
\startuseMPgraphic{tableheader}{text,rotation}
label.lft("\strut\bf\MPvar{text}",origin)
rotated \MPvar{rotation}
shifted (\the\strutht,0);
setbounds currentpicture to unitsquare
xyscaled(\the\struttotal,sin(\MPvar{rotation})*\the\widthofstring{\MPvar{text}});
\stopuseMPgraphic
\starttext
\bTABLE[frame=off]
\bTR[align={middle,low}]
\bTH \eTH
\bTH[width=3em]
\dontleavehmode\useMPgraphic{tableheader}{text=Water

[NTG-context] Re: (ConTeXt LMTX 2.11.05) how do I make it so that sections, descriptions, and itemizations have just a space between some of the text that they produce
Felix schrieb am 16.09.2024 um 16:24:
[...]
This code shows how I am getting the default spacing between the words from
itemize, description, and the spacing between the roman numeral and the section
title. I tried figuring out how to get the spacing for all of these to be set
to a single space worth but it seems to not be possible with `distance`,
because it asks for a dimension. How can I get a `\space`'s worth of spacing to
be the default in descriptions, itemizations, and sections? for itemizations
and descriptions the spacing seems to vary and I really don't like that. I
would be thankful to know if there's a way to change the spacing.
Please remove everything from your examples which isn't necessary to
show the problem, in your example you can get rid of
- the page layout,
- the font settings,
- the title page and
- all settings from \setupdescription and \setuphead unrelated to the
space between number/title and the text.
The value you're looking for is \spaceamount which can be used with the
distance-key to set the width of a space as separator.
For descriptions you have to set the value of the width to fit and use
the distance key to set a fixed
value for the space between the title and following text, to ensure the
space doesn't increase set
also the shrink and stretch values to 0.
begin example
\definedescription
[description]
[alternative=serried,
width=fit,
distance=\spaceamount,
stretch=0,
shrink=0]
\starttext
\startdescription [title={I'm not a fan of the}]
default spacing
\stopdescription
\stoptext
end example
For itemize you can use the fit keyword but be aware once you have more
than 9 entries you get
a bigger space between the number and content because the environment
set the width of all
entries to width of the widest number.
begin example
\starttext
\startitemize[n,fit][distance=\spaceamount]
\startitem
I'm not a fan of the default spacing
\stopitem
\stopitemize
\stoptext
end example
For section titles you just have to change the distance value.
begin example
\setuphead
[section]
[distance=\spaceamount]
\starttext
\startsection[title={I'm not a fan of the}]
default spacing
\stopsection
\stoptext
end example

Yes, the default value is 2.8ex and the medium, big and numeric values

Florent Michel schrieb am 15.09.2024 um 17:44: Hello, It's probably not the best solution, but it seems to work on my side if I replace `big` by `2em`; see code below. When the whole document needs a larger interlinespace \setupinterlinespace[big] is the wrong method and \setupinterlinespace[line=4x] or (which is an alternative form for the one above) \setupinterlinespace[4ex] are the recommended solutions. The reason why Kirill had the problem with is that tabulate resets the interlinespace value to the global settings while "big" is just a relative value which depends on the global value. This reset is necessary because tabulate uses the global interlinespace value to split the table into slices which allows it to break cells across pages. When you need a different interlinespace for a part of the document you should use \start \setupinterlinespace[line=4ex] content which a different interlinespace setting \stop which does also work for tabulate.

\setuplayout command, but I'm afraid I don't quite understand how to

Create a normal document without imposition in A5 and use afterwards the

You can get a short information block with an example when you write

Feel free to switch out the fonts if you'd like
You're trying to justify a text with a fixed width font which fails
because the often have a fixed width space. When you have a space a
fixed width TeX can stretch or shrink the space between the word to
align them with the right margin.
The best solution is to disable justification and use ragged text on the
right side. An alternative is to allow bigger spaces between words but
as you can see in the following example the gaps between words can be
quite large.

\setupbodyfont[tt]

Whether there is a difference or not depends on your text, when you have
a wide
text block and short words TeX can produce good results without the need for
additional parameters but when you have a narrow text blocks (e.g. for
text in
columns) or long words you need additional settings.
The example below shows how different options can result in different
line breaks
but not all sample text produce the same effect, sometimes you get the
same result
with and without verytolerant etc.
Don't forget to enable expansion and protrusion before you use the
hanging and hz

[features=generalfeatures,]
\definetypeface [myfonts] [mm] [math] [stixtwo]
[features=generalfeatures,]
\setupbodyfont[myfonts,12pt]
do you think this code is flawed?
Stay with the following basic setups and add only expansion or
protrusion when you use the features in your document, otherwise there
is no need for them.
\definefontfeature [times] [default] [trep=yes,dlig=yes]
\definefontfeature [aptos] [default] [trep=yes]
\definefontfamily [myfonts] [rm] [Times New Roman] [features=times]
\definefontfamily [myfonts] [ss] [Aptos] [features=aptos]
\definefontfamily [myfonts] [tt] [Aptos Mono] [features=none]
\definetypeface [myfonts] [mm] [math] [stixtwo]
\setupbodyfont[myfonts,12pt]
\starttext
\samplefile{lorem}
\stoptext
Also, do you think you could explain how locl and extrakerns works? do I need
to have kern=yes for it to enable? how can I test if extrakerns Is working?
when I just have kern=yes enable, and then enable extra, a pdf that has a
paragraph using both in code looks the same. locl is something I'm completely
unsure about.
1. Many features above are part of the default set.
2. When you don't know what the effect of an opentype feature is (look
at https://www.preusstype.com/techdata/features.php for a few examples)
don't enable it because you can get an unexpected output in your
document. It is also important to know what your font makes with the
feature because like I previously mentioned Times New Roman uses dlig to
produce standard ligatures which isn't what you expect here.

Thank you for your careful and patient explanation.
I'll check my code again.
Because it's still very simple,
and some situations haven't been taken into account.
In particular, the condition judgment to split the part of the box.
I run your code and already found a few example where it fails, e.g.
- when you have a very short text it is spread over the while line and
you get a line break at the end
- when you use it in the narrower environment you don't compensate the
left/right indentations
Regarding the part about referencing commands,
I inadvertently forgot to delete it.
I have a question about the command "\warichuparameter\c!XXX" :
Why can we use "\warichuparameter\c!XXX" instead of "\warichuparameter{XXX}" in
most cases,
but in some cases, it says that the command is not defined?
For example, \warichuparameter\c!pointstyle --> Control sequence expected
instead of undefined
I've used "\warichuparameter\c!XXX" before, but it causes the error
because there are some keys that are specifically named.
For the sake of stylistic consistency, I used "\warichuparameter{XXX}" for all
command.
Maybe it's because I didn't define it? Should I define the following in advance?
%%%
\def\c!pointstyle{pointstyle}
%%%
Yes, these constants are predefined to have language dependent keys in
the setup command, e.g.
\setupitemize[width=1cm]
is written as
\stelleaufzaehlungein[breite=1cm]
with the german interface.
To ensure you use the correct name for the key you use \c!width as
argument for the \xxxparameter command.
While you can use \def\c!...{...} to create a new constant the proper
method is to use \setinterfaceconstant.
You can run the following example to get a list with a predefined
constant. When you uncomment the first three lines you see the new entry
also appears in the list.
begin example
% \startinterface all
% \setinterfaceconstant {pointstyle} {pointstyle}
% \stopinterface
\setuplayout[tight]

What doesn't works is to use them to print the number of the current page within running text because TeX collects more text than it can fit on a single page which can result in the number of the previous page when the text is moved to the next one.

There does seem to be an anomaly here. Simpler MWE:
\starttext
\dorecurse{15}{
\input knuth
%{\ssd\color[red]{\pagenumber}} % not as expected
{\color[red]{\pagenumber}} % as expected
}
\stoptext
With the \ssd the first number at the top of the second and subsequent pages is
one less than it should be. Without the \ssd then the numbers are as expected.
@Muyik: Are you able to use \pagenumber without using \ssd or similar to change
the size? That might be a work-around for you. There is also \userpagenumber.
You can't use page counters in running text without problems because
you're working against the way how TeX constructs pages.
The only reliable way are multipass solutions like the pagestate or
reference mechanism.

1. The usage of the command "\definepagestate " is what I searched for in
previous posts and source files.
I don't know exactly how he used it. (╥﹏╥)
2. I've devised a command that needs to get the current page number to
determine if it's an odd or even page.
This is then used to get a certain width to determine the width of the command
on that line.
Below I designed the command. The code related to this issue is mainly
You have to differentiate between odd and even and right hand and left
hand pages.
When you want to check whether you have an right hand or left hand page
you can use the following method.
To get the correct result ensure you start a paragraph before you set
the flag with \signalrightpage.
begin example
%\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
%\setuppagenumbering[alternative={singlesided,doublesided}]
\starttext
\dorecurse{20}
{\dontleavehmode\signalrightpage\doifelserightpage{\bold{Right
page}}{\bold{Left page}}
\samplefile{lorem}}
\stoptext
end example
To have a check which works for odd and even pages you have to use the
pagestate mechanism.
Even in this case it is important to start a paragraph before save the
current state, afterwards
you can check the stored pagenumber.
begin example
\definepagestate[warichu]
\starttext
\dorecurse{20}
{\dontleavehmode\autosetpagestate{warichu}%
\ifodd0\autopagestaterealpage{warichu}%
\bold{Odd page}
\else
\bold{Even page}
\fi
\samplefile{lorem}}

[NTG-context] Re: What could possibly be wrong with 'P'?
jbf schrieb am 10.09.2024 um 02:36:
Here is a really odd one that I have a simple workaround for, but for
the life of me I cannot work out why this is happening. Is 'p' (or
'P') some sort of restricted letter in certain circumstances?
Here is the issue:
\startdocument
[metadata:author={Author name},
metadata:title={Psalms}]
1. This is *not* a complete minimal working example.
2. The following example works (with and without \setupinteraction) here
with the latest version.
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\startdocument
[metadata:author={Author name},
metadata:title={Psalms}]
Psalms.
\stopdocument
And I get an error. Document will not compile. Any other initial
letter than 'p' (in Psalms) does not produce the error.
So if I do something like:
\startdocument
[metadata:author={Janet Dawson},
metadata:title={~Psalms}]
Then I no longer get the problem. Which just seems to confirm the fact
that it is the initial letter 'p' that is the problem. I can also
change the spelling of 'psalms' (anything really, asalms, xsalms) and
there is no problem, but of course that would be silly.
I have never had this issue before, so while it looks like 'p' is the
problem (it can hardly be the Psalms!), it is possibly something else,
but what, I would not know. If it helps, I am calling in that
metadata:title in the header in the usual way, e.g.:
\setupheadertexts
[ ] [{\getmarking[chapter]\hskip1em \pagenumber}]
[] [ {\pagenumber \hskip1em \documentvariable{metadata:title}}]
But that should not be a problem.
The \hskip is a problem because the commands is looking for additional
parameters and when it encounters the "p" at the beginning of
metadata:title it assumes you set the plus parameter.
To prevent the error either add a \relax after the dimension (i.e.
\hskip1em\relax) or use \quad which inserts a horizontal space of 1em.

Felix schrieb am 05.09.2024 um 22:58:
https://pastebin.com/245uwYj4
I have this setup for my fonts, called myfonts.
I assume that `\definefontfeature [default] [default]
[trep=yes,dlig=yes,itlc=yes]` will affect every single font that goes into my
preamble (Forgive me if I seem incompetent, I am a beginner at ConTeXt)
It is applied to all fonts which use the "default" feature set and which
enabled after you made the changes.
In the following example only pagella uses the "trep" feature because
modern was loaded before the settings was added to the default feature set.
begin example
\starttext
\setupbodyfont[modern]
a'b
\definefontfeature [default] [default] [trep=yes]
\setupbodyfont[pagella]
a'b
\stoptext
end example
To be on the save side create custom feature set where you add
additional settings and apply these to your fonts.
begin example
\definefontfeature [MyFeatures] [default] [trep=yes]
\definefontfamily [OldTimes] [rm] [Times New Roman]
\definefontfamily [NewTimes] [rm] [Times New Roman] [features=MyFeatures]
\starttext
\setupbodyfont[OldTimes]
a'b
\setupbodyfont[NewTimes]
a'b
\stoptext
end example
I have dlig and trep on so that works with single quotations like don't have a
directional quote, and so that I get the Times New Roman ligatures via dlig and
not just liga. itlc is enabled since I read some documentation and they
sometimes mention enabling it
It shouldn't be necessary to add "itlc" anymore to get italic correction
for \em etc.
is there some stuff like the extrafeatures option or anything that you would
recommend i enable? might there be options for extrakerns that would be seen as
something that one should enable?
also, how can I see all the options available? dlig is something I discovered
by accident that was not in the options list in the documentation.
Unless you know the effect of a feature you shouldn't add or enable it.
You even have to know what is supported by the fonts in your document
which can differ between certain versions of a font, take Times New
Roman which is included with Windows as an example.
1. For a long time ligatures weren't supported by the font at all and
the first mention of the support it is from 2022.
2. The font uses the "dlig" feature to enable the f ligatures even
though the normal tag for it is "liga". My guess why they made this
decision is backwards compatibility with existing document to avoid them
from using these ligatures.
3. You shouldn't enable "dlig" by default for all fonts because the
results of the feature can vastly for the fonts which provide it, take
the following two fonts as example.
begin example
\definefontfeature [discretionary-ligatures] [dlig=yes]
\starttext
\startbuffer[pagella]
\starttabulate[|||]

\start \feature[+][discretionary-ligatures]
\getbuffer[dejavuserif]

end example
The only additional features which can be added without problems are
"expansion" and "protrusion" because until you enable them with
\setupalign nothing changes in your document.

further complex problems as you describe so far. Can you give more
specific examples for these,
I have to check, because I am also finalising a book at the moment.
References need an anchor to know on which page they end up because a
page is finished you don't know the answer.
The following example sets three references, one and three marks the
start of each paragraph but where should two end up?
begin example
\usemodule[visual]
\setuppapersize[A6,landscape]
\setupwhitespace[line]
\starttext
\showmakeup[hbox]
\pagereference[one]\fakelines{10}{10}
\pagereference[two]
\pagereference[three]\fakelines{10}{10}
\page
\showmakeup[reset]

\NC one \NC \at[one] \NC\NR
\NC two \NC \at[two] \NC\NR
\NC three \NC \at[three] \NC\NR
\stoptabulate
\stoptext
end example
When you process the example you get page 1 as output, but why is this
the case. Take a look the the tracing information and you can see a "H"
at the left bottom on page 1 which is missing on page 2, this is where
ConTeXt places reference two. You get this "H" mark because
\pagereference starts a new paragraph to ensure the is a anchorpoint but
as a side effect you can end up with unwanted empty lines in your
document, to test this change the argument of the first \fakelines from
10 to 12 and now the stray "H" appears at the top left on the second
page but in addition you get 2 empty lines at the top (1 for the
reference and another 1 for the parskip).

Your problem the usage of "option=stretch" to add filler space in the
table cells.
To calculate the space which is added in each cell context takes the
widest text in each column
to calculate the current width of the table and when table is narrower
then the page it distributes
the reaming spaces equally to all rows. This results in a different
width for each row but another
problem in your case is that context takes the long text in the first
row (even though it spans
three column) as value to compute the reaming space in the table.
The fix for your case is to set a fixed width for all three column which
ensures the text
in the second column is centered. You can also simplify your setup by
moving all settings
at the start of the table and the only local change is needed for the
merged cells.
begin example

[NTG-context] Re: Is there an alternative to \reference[]{} that won't interfere with the document design?
Joel via ntg-context schrieb am 31.08.2024 um 16:37:
I had to place \reference[]{} in various places in my document as I need
to refer to page numbers of a lot of various items in the document.
There are hundreds of these. When placing them, I hadn't realized it
would impact the document design--I assumed such a command would be
invisible.
Though I've tried placing as many inside the section titles, where they
become invisible, I've found just placing \reference[]{} anywhere on a
page will create extra blank spaces, leading my document to expand from
440 lines to 448. It added up quite quickly to 8 whole pages. No matter
how much I use % or try to hide it within the page, it still produces
weird results. It isn't invisible, its doing things to the document,
moving text around, leaving gaps. In addition, it makes the document
look haphazard, creating random formatting "glitches".
I'm assuming because \reference has a curly bracket {} that its causing
something to be rendered, even it its not really something visible
always, it often makes a carriage return on the page if placed say after
a table, or before a section title. Sadly, the way the document was
designed I don't have a way to integrate them inside the section titles
everywhere, there are too many and some need to mark a specific page
within a section.
I haven't placed anything inside the {} and only use the square brackets
to mark the reference name. Is there an alternative command that won't
occupy space like this?
Did you learn anything from the answers of your last question [1] with
similar content?
Hint: Minimal example!

Jim schrieb am 29.08.2024 um 21:19: Hans (et al), I'm a couple of days late to this party, but none of the above suggestions give me any italic correction. I updated my ConTeXt today, but the fact that the first one doesn't work didn't surprise me, given your last sentence. However, since the second two don't work, can anyone speculate as to what I might be doing wrong? Or, did I somehow misinterpret what "There are three ways:" means? Italic correction is fixed (for \/ and \italiccorrection) but there hasn't been a new context release since then. The \em variant didn't work because it inserts \/ (which was broken) at the end of the text.

Dear all,
1. I am trying to define the "pitchfork" unicode
character(https://unicodeplus.com/U+22D4) to use in ConTeXt as stated on
page 387 of new math manual authored by Hans and Mikael:
\definemathsymbol[pitchfork][relation]["22D4]
It works with some unicode characters and not others (like this
character). What can I do to make it work?
1. You forgot to provide a minimal example to reproduce the problem.
2. You need a math which contains the symbol because you can't expect to
get each symbol with all of them.
You can run the following sample to see which font contains \pitchfork.

Hi,

There is no need to set default features like ligatures and kerning, the
better alternative here is to use
\definefontfeature [default] [default] [protrusion=quality,...]
which adds additional settings to the default set.
\definefontfamily [myfont][roman][xcharter]
\definefontfamily [myfont][sansserif][overpass][rscale=0.93]

\stopTEXpage
```
It produces the PDF in the attachment. I'm struggling with several things:
- xcharter seems to have no kerning applied. It is listed as font feature,
though. Is it correct to have no kerning at all for that font?
The font has kerning information but none for characters in the ASCII range.
Good to know. Especially for the "Va" in "Vase", I expected kerning (it looks
not equally spaced currently).
- xcharter also have no ligatures (at least it doesn't look like that). That is
listed as font feature, too, although only for italic and slanted. According to
https://tug.org/FontCatalogue/xcharter/ there are ligatures in the font.
There are ligatures for ff[il].
They are defined in the font, but they are not used in the PDF output, aren't they? For example in the "ffi"
in "Effizient" the "f" is not connected with the "i", while the ligature glyph has a
connection there.
You have to change the value of the script tag because the don't set
them for the dflt script.
\definefontfeature[default][default][script=latn]
\definefontfamily[myfont][rm][xcharter]
\setupbodyfont[myfont]
\showmakeup[glyph]
\starttext
ff fi fl ffi ffl fb fh fk
\feature[-][ligatures]
ff fi fl ffi ffl fb fh fk
\stoptext
I attached a screenshot for comparison. The ligature was generated with
"\ShowCompleteFont{name:xcharter*default}{11pt}{1}" (with the fnt-10 module).
It is, however, noticeable that the whole xcharter font is thicker in the
output of \ShowCompleteFont. Is this part of the reason?
When you load a font by name use one which is listed in the table you
get with "mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=xcharter*". In
this case the table is
identifier familyname fontname
filename subfont instances
xcharterbold xcharter xcharterbold XCharter-Bold.otf

and as you can see there is no entry "xcharter". In your case context
loaded the bold version of the font but when you use "xcharterroman" as
name the document shows the normal upright version.
- Overpass has a glyph for the ae ligature. Is it normal that it is not used as
a ligature for ae?
This seems to be a stupid decision to replace ae by default with a
ligature, maybe dependent on the language but not for all of them.
Ok, I've seen it here as (somewhat) common ligature:

- Overpass Mono does not contain italic glyphs. I would have expected obliques
when using \slanted then. However, it just remains normal.
You can use the slanted feature for this but the default setting is to
fall back to the upright alternative and you as a user has to make the
choice.
Example: \definefontfamily[myfont][tt][overpassmono][sl={features:slanted}]
- I included the ™ in the example since its italic glyph is not slanted. For
all fonts \slanted seems to switch to the extra (italic?) glyphs, while I would
have expected obliques. At least overpass seems to have no dedicated slanted
style, while xcharter has one.
How a glyph for a certain styles appears depends on the font designer.
When you use \definefontfamily you get always the same style for italic
and slanted because most fonts provide only italic or oblique (but not
both). In some case you do something like the following font setting but
the best solution when you have a large font family have is to write a
typescript.
\definefontfamily[myfont][rm][xcharter][sl=style:slanted]

Henning Hraban Ramm schrieb am 16.08.2024 um 10:52: I’m not sure if "cambmath" or "cambria.ttf" relates to "cambria.ttc". When Cambria was released you had two ways to get the fonts: 1.

The second option is no longer available because Ascender was bought in 2010 by Monotype and it seems the fonts aren't available for purchase anymore. @Hans and Mikael: Can we remove the ascender version from the typescript or change the file check to make the microsoft version the default?

Indeed. In my XeTeX publications settling the font was quite
straightforward:

But coming back to ConTeXt:
I am grateful to Pablo and Wolfgang for their suggestions, but
it does not (yet) work as it should. Perhaps this has to do
with the problem in the language command. Here is my test file that
works up to the point, and then shows the problem.

The normal scenario would be a document in English with Sanskrit as a

You can put all settings (fonts, transliteration etc.) you need for your

the \language

I never seen \multispan before. But this seems to work:
\multispan is a plain TeX command to create cells which span multiple
columns
and makes only sense when you create tables with the \halign primitive
because
tables in context use hidden cells for padding on the left and right etc.

Hi Gerion,
there is an \ifinframed conditional, such as in:
...
This may help to achieve what you want.
Just in case it helps,
Thanks for the answer, but we misunderstood. I'll try to formulate it clearer:
If I get it right, to set margin notes, you need to specify \setupmargindata
in any case.
However, on the one hand, there might be notes that follow the style of the
"style" argument within \setupmargindata.
And on the other hand, there might be notes that internally uses \framed and
follow the "style" argument within a separately specified \setupmarginframed.
My question is, whether I have any chance to get in advance (when writing down
the document styling) which style argument my future (not yet written) margin
notes will follow to know if I need to specify a \setupmarginframed at all.
Is it the style argument of \setupmargindata or \setupmarginframed or is it a
good practice to _always_ specify \setupmarginframed with the same style
argument as given to \setupmargindata?
I have no idea what your question is but you should use
\setupmarginframed only when the setup
requires it, e.g. to change the alignment for blocks which use the
framed mechanism.
The example below shows which predefined margin blocks rely only on
margindata where
you can change the alignment with \etupmargindata and also the ones
which require \setupmarginframed.
begin example
\setuppapersize[A4][A3]
\setuplayout[location=middle]
\starttext
\doloopoverlist{
inleftmargin,
inrightmargin,
inoutermargin,
ininnermargin,
inleftedge,

\margindata[\recursestring]{Text in the margin!}
\samplefile{lorem}
}
\doloopoverlist{

}

\setupmarginframed[\recursestring][align=middle]

Hi,
I want to make a two sided document with margin notes.
The notes should not be hyphenated and always aligned to the inner text body.
However, I did not get this to work.
It hyphenates and the alignment is only correct at even pages.
Do you know the correct way?
Here is a MWE:
```
\setuppagenumbering[location={footer, right}, alternative=doublesided]
\definealign[myalign][inner, nothyphenated]
\setupmargindata[inmargin][
location=outer,
style=italic,
% nothing of that seems to have any effect
% align=myalign,
% align=inner,
% align=nothyphentated,
align={inner, nothyphentated},
]
Use \setupmarginframed for the alignment.
\setupmarginframed
[inmargin]
[align={inner,nothyphenated}]
Does the align parameter of \setupmargindata has any function, then?
Also, using setupmarginframed leads to other problems:
- The margin text is bold now(?)
- All margin nodes are on the left of the page now (this should be only the
case for even pages)
The location of the margin block and the style are still controlled by
\setupmargindata and only the alignment has to be changed with
\setupmarginframed.
\setupmargindata
[inmargin]
[location=outer,
style=italic]
\setupmarginframed
[inmargin]
[align={inner,nothyphenated}]
Thanks, that works for the alignment. It does not change the hyphenation.
I would have expected this line breaks in the margin note:
significant
incredible
components
Instead, ConTeXt generates:
significant in
credible com
ponents
In general:
Does the "align" argument in setupmargindata has a meaning at all?
The align key works and the output is correct but the problem in this
case is a user error.
When you compare mine and your example you should notice a difference in
the spelling of nothyphenated which has an extra "t" in your case.
Why is the action to setup margin notes splitted in setupmargindata and
setupmarginframed? I find it kind of unintuitive.
There are two different mechanism at work here:
1. The placement of the texts is controlled with the margindata
mechanism has style and align options.
2. In addition to the placement mechanism some of the margin texts make
use of \framed for the content. Because not all margin texts should make
use \framed this is optional and controlled with an extra setup-command.
The separate setup mechanism avoid also problems with keys which have a
different meaning for the placement of the margin texts, e.g. location
is an already existing framed-key but it is also used to set the
horizontal position of the block.

Hi,
I want to make a two sided document with margin notes.
The notes should not be hyphenated and always aligned to the inner text body.
However, I did not get this to work.
It hyphenates and the alignment is only correct at even pages.
Do you know the correct way?
Here is a MWE:
```
\setuppagenumbering[location={footer, right}, alternative=doublesided]
\definealign[myalign][inner, nothyphenated]
\setupmargindata[inmargin][
location=outer,
style=italic,
% nothing of that seems to have any effect
% align=myalign,
% align=inner,
% align=nothyphentated,
align={inner, nothyphentated},
]
Use \setupmarginframed for the alignment.
\setupmarginframed
[inmargin]
[align={inner,nothyphenated}]
Does the align parameter of \setupmargindata has any function, then?
Also, using setupmarginframed leads to other problems:
- The margin text is bold now(?)
- All margin nodes are on the left of the page now (this should be only the
case for even pages)
The location of the margin block and the style are still controlled by
\setupmargindata and only the alignment has to be changed with
\setupmarginframed.
\setupmargindata
[inmargin]
[location=outer,
style=italic]
\setupmarginframed
[inmargin]
[align={inner,nothyphenated}]

Jean-Pierre Delange schrieb am 22.07.2024 um 12:29: As Taco suggested, the best way to install new fonts on MS Windows (and other OSes) is to tell ConTeXt where they are located. On Windows, fonts are usually found in /Fonts. But you still need to purge the font cache and regenerate it so that the system can interact with ConTeXT. A safer method is to create separate directories, as indicated by Taco: /tex/texmf-fonts/fonts/data/urbanist. You can also distinguish between True Type fonts (ttf) and Open Type fonts (otf) by separating folders as follows: /tex/texmf-fonts/fonts/otf/ and /tex/texmf-fonts/fonts/ttf/. When you use context for a single user you can create a folder texmf in the users home directory and place all files in the subfolder fonts/data, e.g. C:\Users\...\texmf\fonts\data> There is no need to make distinctions between the two file extension ttf and otf because they are meaningless because most truetype fonts are also opentype font.

[NTG-context] Re: How to specify a default formatting for TABLE
Gerion Entrup schrieb am 01.07.2024 um 23:56:
Hi,
I want to format a bunch a tables with the same formatting.
It seems that specifying the \setupTABLE commands as part of the preamble works.
However, I need some tables that are formatted in another way.
Is there a generic way to specify this?
Here is a MWE:
[...]
The last two tables should be formatted as if the four setupTABLE commands in
the header are not existent.
My solution does not work, however.
1. Put your table settings in a setups-block and load the one you want
at the start of your table.
2. You don't need \setupcolors[state=start] because colors are enabled
by default (since a veee...eeery long time).
3. You can replace \bTD ... \eTD with \bTH ... \eTH for table headers to
get bold text.
begin example
\startsetups[table:a]
\setupTABLE [each] [frame=off,width=1cm,height=1cm,align={middle,lohi}]
\setupTABLE [each] [background=color,backgroundcolor=lightgray]
\stopsetups
\startsetups[table:b]
\setupTABLE [each]
[frame=off,width=2cm,height=1.2\lineheight,align=middle]
\setupTABLE [each] [topframe=on,bottomframe=on]
\stopsetups
\starttext
\bTABLE
\bTR
\bTD A \eTD
\bTD B \eTD
\eTR

\bTD C \eTD

This seems to be much better but does not lead to the wanted result. The full
example now is:
```
\definestartstop[myhl][style=mono,left={›\thinspace}]
\definedescription[categorie][
alternative=top,
headstyle=bold,

\definedescription[desc][

headcommand={\groupedcommand{\startmyhl}{\stopmyhl :}},
headstyle=,
before={\startpacked},
after={\stoppacked},
alternative=hanging
]
\starttext
This is a \myhl{highlight}.
Some listings
\startcategorie{Itemize}
\startitemize[packed]
\item \myhl{first}: one
\item \myhl{second}: two
\stopitemize
\stopcategorie
Now the same as desc:
\startcategorie{Desc}
\startdesc{first} one \stopdesc
\startdesc{second} two \stopdesc
\stopcategorie
\stoptext
```
This adopts the correct style in \startdesc \stopdesc and sets the colon but
omits the › (the left part).
You can do the following in the next version.
1. Add "arguments=yes" to \definestartstop to enable the optional
argument for the new command.
2. Use the new commands with the "headcommand" key and apply ":" as
right delimiter for the content of \Highlight.
\definestartstop
[Highlight]
[arguments=yes,
style=mono,
left={›\thinspace}]
\definedescription
[description]
[ width=broad,

Yes, I’m just documenting line and paragraph numbering, and I wonder

Maybe Hans (or somebody) needed this for a single document and the

Thank you. That works well for this case.
I have a follow up question. I tried to additionally set a titledistance and reproduce
that for the "Answer:"-part.
ConTeXt then introduces a mysterious newline.
See this example:
\definehspace[dist][1em]
\startsetups[question:intro]
\setupparagraphintro[first][\bold{Answer:}\hspace[1em]]
\blank
\stopsetups
You need 2 changes for \setupparagraphintro:
1. Change the argument of \hspace to "dist" because the commands accepts
only keywords and everything else (even a valid length) is ignored and
results in a horizontal skip of 0pt.
2. You have to add curly braces around the content when the content
includes square brackets because nesting of optional arguments isn't
supported yet.
The correct version of the one above is:
\startsetups[question:intro]
\setupparagraphintro[first][{\bold{Answer:}\hspace[dist]}]

Gerion Entrup schrieb am 13.06.2024 um 13:41:
Hi,
is there a way to automatically prefix the text body in an enumeration?
Consider this example:
```
\defineenumeration[question][
alternative=top,
text=Question,
title=yes,
titleleft=,
titleright=,
right={:},
headstyle=bold,
]
\starttext
Some text:
\startquestion[title={How long does a loop last?}]
\bold{Answer:} For a while.
\stopquestion
\stoptext
```
I'd like to have the `\bold{Answer:}` automatically. So for example something
like this:
```
\defineenumeration[question][
alternative=top,
text=Question,
title=yes,
titleleft=,
titleright=,
right={:},
headstyle=bold,
prefix={\bold{Answer:}},
]
\starttext
Some text:
\startquestion[title={How long does a loop last?}]
For a while.
\stopquestion
\stoptext
```
I tried to misuse `inbetween` for that but `alternative=top` seems to make a
(not modifiable space) between the heading and the text body.
Use the \setupparagraphintro command to set the text which should appear
at the start of the question.
begin example
\startsetups[question:intro]
\setupparagraphintro[first][\bold{Answer:} ]
\blank
\stopsetups
\defineenumeration[question][
alternative=top,
text=Question,
title=yes,
titleleft=,
titleright=,
right={:},
headstyle=bold,
inbetween=\setup{question:intro},
]
\starttext
Some text:
\startquestion[title={How long does a loop last?}]
For a while.

[NTG-context] Re: missing space with French quotation
Alan Braslau schrieb am 07.06.2024 um 16:21:
I have *never* understood how this works and, in fact, have always done
weird stuff like explicitly putting a nbps before double punctuation
(:;) in my document sources. I do this as it makes the sources much
more readable, preventing my text editor from ever breaking lines
before the punctuation (and not having some space in the source looks
awkward when reading French text).
I use:
[...]
This gives proper spacing with \quotation{} and with \startquotation
... \stopquotation. Also, {\en\quotation{}} and {\de\quotation{}} in
the document correctly do not add spaces.
1. \setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation] takes care about the space
before/after quotation marks when you use manual quotes in a document.
It doesn't matter whether you use or don't use space between the
quotations marks and the quoted text.
begin example
\starttext
\startlines
«quoted text»
« quoted text »
\stoplines
\setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation]
\startlines
«quoted text»
« quoted text »
\stoplines
\stoptext
end example
2. When you use the quotation command or environment ConTeXt adds a
space between the quotation marks and the quoted text by itself but in
the quotation-environment the space before the closing mark disappears
when you add \setcharacterspacing.
begin example
\language[fr]
\starttext
\startquotation
quoted text
\stopquotation
\quotation{quoted text}
\setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation]
\startquotation
quoted text
\stopquotation
\quotation{quoted text}
\stoptext
end example
Is \setupquotation[symstyle=\resetcharacterspacing] necessary?
It's a temporary fix for the problem with the quotation environment by
disabling the characterspacing mechanism when ConTeXt places the
quotation marks.

It seems, that this workaround solves the problem:
\setupquotation[before={\setcharacterspacing[reset]}]
The quotation environment doesn't rely on the characterspacing mechanism
to add the spaces before and the after the quotes but uses language
dependent skips.
The example below shows how it works and where it fails when you use
characterspacing. Resetting spacing (and probably other settings like
charcterkerning etc.) when the quotes are added as you noticed fixes the
problem.

\hbox{\expand\everyresettypesetting\relax \hspace[fr][quotation]»}
\stoptext
end example
What do you think about it? Is this the right way to do it?
I would use the symstyle key as hook to disable charcterspacing for the
quotes in the environment.
begin example
\mainlanguage[fr]
\setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation]
\setupquotation[symstyle=\resetcharacterspacing]
\starttext
«xxx»
\startquotation xxx\stopquotation
\stoptext
end example

[NTG-context] Re: Combine \setupdelimitedtext with an author (define custom variable?)
Gerion Entrup schrieb am 06.06.2024 um 12:30:
Hi,
I like to achieve something that looks like this:
```
\definedelimitedtext[extract][blockquote]
\setupdelimitedtext
[extract]
[leftmargin=1.5pc,
style={\italic},
before={\setupindenting[next]},
after={\blank[1ex] \hrule \blank[1ex] \startalignment[flushright]
\tfx\italic{René Descartes} \stopalignment}]
\starttext
\startextract
Cogito ergo sum.
\stopextract
\stoptext
```
So it should setup a quotation and mentions the author.
However, here the author is hardcoded within the blockquote. I would like it to
use like this:
```
\definedelimitedtext[extract][blockquote]
\setupdelimitedtext
[extract]
[leftmargin=1.5pc,
style={\italic},
before={\setupindenting[next]},
after={\blank[1ex] \hrule \blank[1ex] \startalignment[flushright]
\tfx\italic{\getcustomvariable{author}} \stopalignment}]
\starttext
\startextract[author=René Descartes]
Cogito ergo sum.
\stopextract
\stoptext
```
Is there an easy way to achieve that?
I tried with \structureuservariable (like possible in \startchapter) but it
does not work.
\startsetups [userdata:extract]
\startnarrower
\setupindenting[next]
\getuserdata
\hairline
\dontleavehmode\wordright{\itx\userdataparameter{author}}
\stopnarrower
\stopsetups
\defineuserdataalternative
[extract]
[renderingsetup=userdata:extract]
\defineuserdata
[extract]
[style=italic,
alternative=extract]
\starttext
\startextract[author=René Descartes]
Cogito ergo sum.
\stopextract
\stoptext

[NTG-context] Re: background= key not working in \startbackground and \starttextbackground
Aditya Mahajan schrieb am 06.06.2024 um 14:48:
Hi,
I am testing some of my old styles on latest context and find that the
background key of \startbackground and \starttextbackground doesn't work
(\framed is working as expected). Here is a MWE:
1. \starttextbackground isn't based on \framed and has a mp-key to
assign a metapost graphic.
2. \startbackground needs to be fixed but it's simple, replace
\defcsname with \edefcsname in pack-bck.mklx:
\appendtoks
\frozen\protected\instance\defcsname\e!start\currentbackground\endcsname{\pack_backgrounds_start
[\currentbackground]}%
\frozen\protected\instance\defcsname\e!stop
\currentbackground\endcsname{\pack_backgrounds_stop }%
\frozen\protected\instance\defcsname
\currentbackground\endcsname{\pack_backgrounds_direct[\currentbackground]}%
\to \everydefinebackground

[NTG-context] Re: After using a custom command in the title, the table of contents is not generated properly
ai2472206...@yeah.net schrieb am 05.06.2024 um 16:03:
As described, here is example:
%
\def\cmd#1{{\tt\textslash #1}}
\def\cmdii#1{\tt #1}
\def\cmdiii#1{\rm #1}
You can use \definehighlight to create a custom command for a style.
The case where you want a slash before the text you have to use
\definestartstop which allows you to set something before and after
\definestartstop [cmdi] [style=\tt,left=\textslash]
\definehighlight [cmdii] [style=\tt]
\definehighlight [cmdiii] [style=\rm]

Here is the documentation for the tag extension:

Hi Taco,
thanks very much for the link. But, ummm, what it says there seems to
contradict what Wolfgang told me in the other response to my message.
[[ I see Wolfgang edited the \blank wiki page to move the text in question
to after \starttext, but I'm sure if you don't believe what I say in the
next paragraph, you can grab the previous version. ]]
Specifically, the example in the (previous) \blank wiki page does, indeed,
have a \starttext and \stoptext. So, according to the page you mention
above, another \starttext and \stoptext should *not* be added. And yet the
(previous) \blank page example does print the text (as well as the bullets)
before the \starttext. Is there a discrepancy between what
.../Help:Context says and what actually happens?
When you take a look at the settings which are applied here you can see
\setupbodyfont[8pt] which is the reason why the text appears, compare
begin example
Before \tex{starttext}
\starttext
After \tex{starttext}.
\stoptext
end example
with
begin example
\setupbodyfont[12pt]
Before \tex{starttext}
\starttext
After \tex{starttext}.
\stoptext
end example
The second example loads a font before the text appear in the document
which is the reason why you can see it.

The reason why you get no text isn't that you wrote it before \starttext
but that no font was loaded yet. By default ConTeXt postpones the
loading of the default fonts until \starttext because when you use a
different font on your document this is normally before \starttext and
with the postponing there is no need to load a unused font.
At the point where you load a font with \setupbodyfont text even if it
appears before \starttext is shown as expected but this isn't recommended.
If you (or some other knowledgeable person reading this) don't (doesn't)
mind another question,...
Is the bullet symbol not from some font? If so, why is that font loaded in
time to see the bullet?
When no font has been loaded yet with \setupbodyfont ConTeXt prints text
which is put in a \hbox in a monospaced font as shown in the example below.
begin example
This is before \tex{starttext}.
\hbox{This is also before \tex{starttext}}
\starttext
This is after \tex{starttext}.
\stoptext
%%%% end example

The wiki adds \starttext at the start and \stoptext at the end of each example and the \starttext/\stoptext pair which is part is just ignored. When you try to run the example as is there is no text before \starttext because no font has been loaded yet (you can add \setupbodyfont[modern] before \startitemize to make the text visible).
