I got some understanding of the underlying code now.
This setup solves the above issue:
```
\startsetups btx:aps:cite:special
% just a dummy
\fastsetup{btx:cite:concat}
\btxcitereference
\currentbtxtag
\stopsetups
```

[NTG-context] Re: \brokenpenalties query
Hi again,
in fact, the \brokenpenalties is new. So using \setpenalties on it in
the past did not do anything, since \ifdefined#1 would never be
true...

Probably only Hans (or Wolfgang) can give a complete answer here. But
\startsetups [*default]
\directsetup{*reset}
\frozen\brokenpenalties 1 1\relax
\stopsetups
works here.

currently \brokenpenalties only takes one setting

An interesting new feature is the possibility to set penalties depending
on left and right page, by using options. For example
\startsetups [*default]
\directsetup{*reset}
\frozen\clubpenalties 3 options 4 1500 3000 250 500 0 0 \relax
\stopsetups
sets club club penalties 1500 for first line and 250 for second for
going from left page to right page (and then 0 for the rest) and 3000
for first line and 500 for second (and rest 0) for going from right page
to left page.
I hope this helps a bit.

Thanks, I solved it by embedding the extract code directly (more less).

The userdata environment uses the buffer mechanism of Context which has
a few limitations where you can use it, e.g. putting the environment in
the arguments of other commands (like the setup-environment above)
fails. One way to avoid this is to replace the \startextract ...
\stopextract in this case with the code for the quoted text, another way
is to put all content in a buffer and just load the buffer in the
setups-environment.

[NTG-context] Pocket Diary Photo Calendar: how to specify on which day the week begins?
Hi,
I am trying to use the Pocket Diary
<https://ctan.org/pkg/context-pocketdiary> module to create a photo
calendar as described in the Calendar Examples
<https://ctan.org/pkg/context-calendar-examples>. The examples work fine.
By default weeks begin on Monday. Does anyone know how to specify that
weeks begin on Sunday? I have searched through all the setvariable
assignments, but nothing seems applicable.
I have attached an example file so you needn't retrieve all the examples.
Any help would be appreciated.

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]}]
\blank
\stopsetups

[NTG-context] Re: Prefix the text in an enumeration.
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.
\stopquestion
\stoptext
end example
Wolfgang

Really cool! Thank you. If I see it right, this is completely generic,
so with this it is possible to define any start stop
with completely variable arguments.

[NTG-context] Specify separator within setupbtx for custom bibliography rendering
Hi,
according to the section "Custom citation renderings" in the bibliography
manual, I have specified an own setup for citation rendering.
However, this seems only to work for single citations (of one source). I want
to also specify the separator but did not get it to run.
Here is a minimal example:
```
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\startbuffer[testdata]
@Book{knuth1,
author = {Donald E. Knuth},
title = {TEX and METAFONT. New directions in typesetting},
year = {1979},
publisher = {Addison-Wesley},
}
@Article{someother,
author = {Some Person and Some Otherperson},
title = {Another title},
year = {1900},
}
\stopbuffer
% enable tracing
\enabletrackers[publications, publications.crossref, publications.details,
publications.cite, publications.strings]
\usebtxdataset[main][testdata.buffer]
\usebtxdefinitions[aps]
\setupbtx[dataset=main]
\definebtxrendering[bibrendering][aps][dataset=main, numbering=short]
\setupbtxlist[aps][
alternative=b,
distance=.5em,
]
\definebtx[aps:cite:special][aps:cite][
left={((},
right={))},
separator:2={sfd},
separator:3={sfd},
separator:4={sfd},
]
\startsetups btx:aps:cite:special
% just a dummy
\btxcitereference
\currentbtxtag
\stopsetups
\setupbtx[aps:cite][
alternative=special,
]
\starttext
Both said something~\cite[knuth1, someother].
\placelistofpublications[bibrendering]
\stoptext
```
The output of this is:
> Both said something ((knuth1someother)).
How can I get the separator to work? My expectation would be:
> Both said something ((knuth1sfdsomeother)).
or
> Both said something ((knuth1sfd someother)).
Best,
Gerion

Any setuphead commands that apply to MyChapter also apply to chapter so you
should be able to use exactly the same styling commands.

Yes, I think it is possible to just use \setuphead [chapter] instead of
\setuphead [MyChapter] with the rest remaining the same.
The only reason I don't do it is that if something goes wrong, I know I have an
original version of \chapter readily to hand to compare against for debugging.

Thank you very much! That looks really clean. I will add it to the wiki.
Can you bring some clarification regarding "style=", "command=" and
"alternative="?
What, if I define multiple of them? Is the system not made for this?
I just tested my initial example regarding font size with `command=\MyChapter,
style=` and the font size was only affected by the code of \MyChapter.
What is the default style?

Thanks for the input. A comparable example is also listed in the wiki.
I like the approach for placing subtitle and intro alone. However, I also want
to style chapter number and chapter title separately.
I'm also not sure, if an extra heading (MyChapter) is needed, since all my
chapters are styled in this way.
Isn't it possible to define "after" of chapter directly?

Stop there!
Use \definehead to create your own variation of a heading - much more robust.
Something like the following (untested):
\startsetups PlaceSubTitleAndIntro
% Set font and and style etc for the subtitle here
\structureuservariable(subtitle)
% Set font and style etc for the intro text here
\structureuservariable(intro)
\stopsetups
\definehead [MyChapter] [chapter]
\setuphead [MyChapter]
[ style={...}, % heading style
after={\setup{PlaceSubTitleAndIntro}},
]
\starttext
\startMyChapter[title={Foo}]
[ subtitle={Bar},
intro={Some explanation},
]
The text of the chapter
\stopMyChapter

what is the problem?
The table environment collects the content of the table cell-wise which
means when TeX sees a \bTD in the input it reads the following text
until it finds the corresponding \eTD. When you put the \eTD in the
definition of another command the scanner will never find the end of a
cell and you either run out of memory or reach the end of the file etc.
Below are a few alternative solutions to simplify the input, one of them
is an alternative version of input (\startTABLE) for natural tables
which uses the same commands to separate columns as tabulate does.
begin example
\starttext
\startTABLE[width=5cm]
\NC One one ons ksl \NC two gfjgfd oski kwo \NC\NR
\NC One wer s dft tgf \NC two gfkdsjg dfs we \NC\NR

[NTG-context] Combine lua and btx setup, was: Re: Customize citation format of a bibliography (use the short form as reference format)
Here is a solution for the first part of my question. This is based on
https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg101156.html
and try and error based on publ-imp-aps.mkvi and publ-imp-apa.mkvi:
It display now the citation _and_ numbering labels in the short form:
```
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\startbuffer[testdata]
@Book{knuth1,
author = {Donald E. Knuth},
title = {TEX and METAFONT. New directions in typesetting},
year = {1979},
publisher = {Addison-Wesley},
}
@Article{someother,
author = {Some Person and Some Otherperson},
title = {Another title},
year = {1900},
}
\stopbuffer
% enable tracing
\enabletrackers[publications, publications.crossref, publications.details,
publications.cite, publications.strings]
\usebtxdataset[main][testdata.buffer]
\usebtxdefinitions[aps]
\setupbtx[dataset=main]
\definebtxrendering[bibrendering][aps][dataset=main, numbering=short]
\setupbtxlist[aps][
alternative=b,
distance=.5em,
]
\setupbtx[aps:cite][alternative=short]
\starttext
Knuth developed \TeX \cite[knuth1]
Several persons said something \cite[someother].
\placelistofpublications[bibrendering]
\stoptext
```
The remaining part now is to mark publications of Knuth in a different way.
I have tried this and failed. Here is my code so far:
```
\startluacode
function render_cite(short, author)
print(author)
if author:lower():find("knuth") then
context("[>" .. short .. "]")
else
context("[" .. short .. "]")
end
end
\stopluacode
\definebtx[aps:cite:special][aps:cite]
\startsetups btx:aps:cite:special
\btxcitereference
\ctxlua{render_cite([==[\btxflush{year}]==], [==[\btxflush{author}]==])}
\stopsetups
% use it with \cite[special][knuth1]
```
This has several problems:
- \btxflush{short} does not work as I expected that. How can I get the short
form?
- \btxflush to pass arguments to lua does not work as intended. On the lua side
the
variable "author" resolves to "\btxflushauthor{author}" and not to "D. E.
Knuth".
How can I pass the data?
I use Lua only because I find it more convenient as a programming language. If a
plain tex solution is simpler, I'm happy to use that.
Another question that came up while studying the source code:
What effect have \c!, \s!, and \v!? These commands exist a lot in the above
cited files.

[NTG-context] \getmarking for top at the current page

I'd like to write the marking of the very first text at the current page to the
header. That seems to be a bit tricky, at least for me. (I'm afraid that
\getmarking[xxx][top] was intended for that and it is not feasible at all.)
At page 1 the header should read "secA", at page 2 again "secA" (because the
very first text belongs to "secA"), and at page 3 "secC" (because the very
first text (the section title) belongs to "secC"). Unfortunatly \getmarking[][]
does not behave like I expacted.
I understand the keywords of \getmarking in the wiki
(https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/getmarking) as listed below:
• previous: marking at the bottom of the page BEFORE the current page (no page
before then empty)
• next: marking at the top of the page AFTER the current page (no page after
then bottom of current page)
• top: marking at the top of the current page
• bottom: marking at the bottom of the current page
• first: first marking that starts at the current page (no first than behaving
like top)
• last: last marking that starts at the current page (no last than behaving
like bottom)
• current: last stored marking while deciding on pagebreaking between the
current page and the (potential) following page
• default: first
According to these thoughts, I started with \getmarking[Datum][top]. But "top"
seems not to work, there is no difference between "top" and "first", "top"
behaves like "first".
My second thought: Generally \getmarking[Datum][first] would be perfect, so
I've thought something like
\doifelse{\fetchmark[Datum][next] of the page before the current
page}{\fetchmark[Datum][previous]}
{\getmarking[Datum][previous]}
{\getmarking[Datum][first]}
could work. (Honestly I don't know how to do "\fetchmark[Datum][next] of the
page before the current page}". The first page would need a special treatment
too.)
But: At page 2 \getmarking[Datum][next] (Nx) contains "secB" but at top of page
3 is not "secB" but "secC". So \getmarking[Datum][next] does not seem to
contain the correct information I need, therefore I don't get any further.
Any ideas: How do I write the marking of the very first text at the current
page to the header?
Thank you in advance, Matthias

[NTG-context] Re: last page number for a list
Hi, Bruce—
This does not quite work—the page numbers are those of the first page of
the chapter, not the last. But thanks for the tip about \writetolist.
Perhaps I can get that to work.
What I need are ToC entries like
AuthorName
ShortTitle 1–6
I need this pagination because one of the requirements of continuous
publication on the OJS is that once an item is published changes are not
permitted. So I cannot go with normal continuous publication since, for us
anyway, items are not processed in strict sequential order (e,g., we may
have, paper+paper+ review+paper...)
If it helps: I currently have
\startFMTitle[reference=\Reference, title={}][itemAuthor=AuthorName,
itemTitle=ShortTitle,...]
\setuplist[FMTitle][state=start, alternative=startendfmpages,
criterium=all,]
(\Reference is defined at the in the preamble to input of the
file/component.)
\definelistalternative[startendfmpages][renderingsetup=list:startendfmpages]
\startsetups[list:startendfmpages]
\structurelistuservariable{itemAuthor}\crlf
\structurelistuservariable{itemTitle}\hfill%
\at[\currentlistentrypagenumber]–\at[\lastpagenumber]
\vglue1pc
\stopsetups
where I have \reference[\lastpagenumber]{} at the end of the file. But this
gives me ??–viii (the viii is correct and interactive) for the FMTitle.
Sadly the entries for all my other Titles (SourceTitle, StudyTitle...) is
??–viii.
(Each title is a modified chapter.)
Curiously, \at[\Reference]–\convertnumber{r}{\lastpagenumber} and
\at[\Reference]–\at[\lastpagenumber] work properly in the body text.
The overall structure is project-product sort with many components in the
product.
This is probably TMI. The bottom line is that I am truly stumped.
All best,
Alan

[NTG-context] start/end pages in ToC
Our journal is currently in the process of moving to continuous publication
of items in a given volume as they are ready. This entails re-jigging the
ToC so that it now includes the start and end page numbers of each item. So
far, I have everything pretty much in the right place, but for the page
numbers I am getting only “??”. I am not sure why this is happening and
would be grateful if someone could tell me why or point me to
documentation that explains the problem and how to solve it.
Many thanks in advance.
My minimalish working example:
\definehead[SourceTitle][chapter]

You can do the following:
\startsetups[doc:header]
\getmarking[chapternumber] \space - \space \getmarking[chapter]
\space :: \space
\getmarking[sectionnumber] \space - \space \getmarking[section]

\startsection[title={This is my section}]
This is a section\par \dorecurse{6}{\input knuth }\input math-kontinuitet-sv
\stopsection
\stopchapter
}
\stoptext
Caveat: it needs an if...then test around the section number for when a section
hasn't started.

[NTG-context] multicolumn title and abstact (bachotex) using tugboat.mkxl
Hello,
I am currently writing my paper for last year's BachoTeX proceedings.
I am using tugboat.mkxl module to design the layout.
In bachotex proceedings, the author's data and abstract are on a single
column and the article is usually typeset on two columns.
Comments in tugboat.mkxl states:
%D We have several column mechanisms and they all serve a different
purpose. Here we
%D use pagecolumns. They support much of what we can do in single
columns, but of
%D course there are exceptions. Floats can go into columns of aremoved
to the top or
%D bottom when there is no room. We don't span mid column. Notes can go
in columns
%D or at the end. We can start with a single column (for titles and
such).
I can't figure out which part of the file should be used/adapted to
start with a single column.
What I did is to put datas and abstract in a frame and use \placefigure.
As stated in pagecolumns
manual, everything is put on the top of next page. (BTW, there is a
typo: «of aremoved»)
I don't know, whether this MWE helps is relevant, but just in case, here
is what I did:
* copy tugboat.mkxl to a new file p-bachotex.mkxl
* changed p-bachotex.mkxl like this:
\startsetups bachotex:naglowek:columns
\defineframedtext [Dane]
\setupframedtext
[Dane]
[width=18cm ,
align=normal,
frame=no]
\definenarrower
[Streszczenia]
[2*middle]
\startplacefigure [location={here,none}]
{\startDane
{\tfa\getvariable{tugboat}{author}}\par
\getvariable{tugboat}{address}\par
{\tt\getvariable{tugboat}{email}}\par
\startStreszczenia
\doifelsebufferempty {abstract} {
% no abstract
} {
\blank[line]

}

\stopplacefigure

\doifmodeelse{columns}{
\setups{bachotex:naglowek:columns}
} {
\setups{bachotex:naglowek:nocolumns}
}
\stopsetups
My article begins so:
\enablemode [columns]
\usemodule [bachotex]
% skipped tugboat variables for this MWE
\StartAbstract
\input tufte
\StopAbstract
\StartArticle
\input knuth
\StopArticle

[NTG-context] Re: Japanese
Emanuel Han schrieb am 01.03.2024 um 16:23:
Dear Wolfgang,
thank you for your valuable remarks. I integrated them, see corrected
attached example.
Yes, correct layout examples exist. They're all showing vertical
writing, but the rules and principles are exactly the same for
horizontal writing.
*
position of the headers and footers:
https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/#fig1_30
See my attached gongitsune.tex example how you can squeeze text in a
very narrow header/footer.
*
aligning lines to the text box: https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/#fig1_3
You can use the lines key for \setuplayout to let ConTeXt calculate the
necessary value for the text height.
*
protrusion of ruby: https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/#fig_ad1_6
You're getting this for free because ruby text doesn't take up vertical
space, in case vertical text is working it would now stick into the
margins as expected.
\starttext
\ruledhbox{a \ruby{x}{y} b}
\stoptext
In my previous mail, I wrote wrong amounts of lines. They should be 46
lines on one page, while the actual example doesn't show the 46th line.
It would be important to identify the reason why only 24 characters
are used to create a line when 25 could be used. Then we can develop a
method to turn that mechanism off or circumvent it.
Quotation from https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq:
/In principle, when composing a line with //ideographic (cl-19)
<https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/#cl-19>//, //hiragana (cl-15)
<https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/#cl-15>// and //katakana (cl-16)
<https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/#cl-16>// characters, no extra spacing
appears between their //character frame
<https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/#term.character-frame>//. This is called
solid setting (see //Figure 5 <https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/#fig1_8>//)./
1. ConTeXt has a mechanism to typeset Japanese texts.
2. There are flaws in the output it produces but this nothing which
can't be fixed.
3. To fix the problems someone has to be passionate to fix them and
we're willing to help here.
As you can see in my second example file japanese.tex there is a font
feature to create half sized parentheses etc. which isn't supported yet
by ConTeXt's mechanism for japanese and in case your willing to improve
it this should be taken care of as well.

[ Note to anyone else trying out this example: there are non-breakable spaces above, and depending on your system if you copy and paste them into a file, they will cause this code to fail. ] I won't argue with you about readability of tables, but if I am typesetting something for someone and they want it a certain way, I don't want to get into an argument about it with them either. :-) The nice thing about your setup above is that it is nice and structured. But if a table calls for some row, column or cell to be treated differently, I guess I am in for some more reading. Cheers.

Not a MWE, I know.
Here’s a screenshot:
https://yemaya.fiee.net/s/G2NcwE8qQrLAx8B
(Funny, I never needed all of before, after, beforesection and
aftersection so far.)
The injection is a frame, that’s great, because I can set the
background, and \externalfigure starts at (0,0).
But it uses its own page size, I don’t understand why. I need the
bleed/trim area.
If I use \setlayer in the setup, the content gets placed on the next
page, i.e. under the text.
\structureuservariable{image} in the setup gets the value from the
_next_ chapter. Maybe the approach in from the source with
\dummyparameter\c!name
would work better, but I don’t know how to transfer it.

[NTG-context] TOC with sections titles and page numbers like a paragraph beneath chapter
I am attempting to get a TOC that looks like the following (in other
words with section titles and their relative page numbers in a block
below the chapter):
Chapter 1 ...5
Section 1 5, Section 2 6, Section 3 7,
Section 4 8, Section 5 9 etc
Chapter 2 10
Section 1 10, Section 2 11, Section 3 12,
Section 4 13, Section 5 14 etc
As I really had no idea how to do this, I found
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Horizontal_Table_of_Contents thinking it
might help, but none of it compiles (for me) in LMTX. So I tried
something different, e.g.
\definelist[chapter]
\setuplist[chapter][label=yes,distance=1.5cm,alternative=c,style=normal,before=\blank]
\definelist[section]
\setuplist[section] [textcommand=\setups{SecToc}]
\setupcombinedlist
[content]o
[list={chapter,section}]
\startsetups [SecToc]
\startframedtext [width=\textwidth, align=middle, frame=off]
\placelist [section]
[
criterium=chapter,
]
\stopframedtext
\stopsetups
While that produces a result, it is nothing like what I want above. Has
anyone put together a TOC of this kind and might be able to give me a
hint to follow?

[NTG-context] Enable interaction on custom apa cite variant
Hi,
I would like a variant of cite per the APA specification that removes the
bracket when quoted in mathematical definitions, theorems, etc. I could of
course do it manually for reach using right= and left= but I didn't want to
do it every time. I have come up with this MWE:
\startbuffer[ref]
@book{burago2022course,
title={A course in metric geometry},
author={Burago, Dmitri and Burago, Yuri and Ivanov, Sergei},
volume={33},
year={2022},
publisher={American Mathematical Society}
}
\stopbuffer
\setupinteraction[state=start, color=blue]
\setupcolors[state=start]
\usebtxdataset[ref.buffer]
\usebtxdefinitions[apa]
\definebtx
[apa:cite:theorem]
[apa:cite]
\startsetups btx:apa:cite:theorem
\btxflushauthorname{author}
\btxcomma
\btxflush{year}
\fastsetup{btx:cite:righttext}
\stopsetups
\setupenumeration[
before={\blank[medium]},
after={\blank[medium]},
alternative=serried,
right=,
headcommand=\groupedcommand{}{.},
distance=0.5em,
width=fit,
headstyle=bold,
titlestyle=bold,
way=bytext,
conversion=numbers,
prefix=chapter,
list=all,
title=yes,
indentnext=no,
]
\defineenumeration[definition][
text=Defintion,
style=normal,
number=no,
]
\starttext
\startdefinition{\cite[righttext={{ p.\nbsp 1}},
alternative=theorem][burago2022course]}
This is something
\stopdefinition
\startsubject[title={References}]
\placelistofpublications
\startsubject
\stoptext
The problem with this is that the citation is not interactive like it would
be if I used apa:cite:authoryear and just removed the parentheses in the
options. How do I get it to highlight blue and be interactive like the
default behaviour when you turn on interaction? Also this is probably
overkill so if there is a better way to achieve this...

The content is from a dutch net-artist artist from the early days of the public web, and is often (volontary) mixing different natural nd machine langages.

Weird is relative. Just use what you like most. One could for instance
use the publication mechanism but you need to set up a bit more (see
manual for example of usa as database).
Now datasets. It is not hard to add a size query so I added that. Your

There is no need to use userdata as intermediate:
% \startsetups[userdata:idautor]
% \dontleavehmode
% \imghref
% {\externalfigure[cvlac.pdf][logo]}
% {\datasetvariable{autores}{\recurselevel}{vclac}}

% {\datasetvariable{autores}{\recurselevel}{orcid}}

% {\externalfigure[gscholar.pdf][logo]}
% {\datasetvariable{autores}{\recurselevel}{nombre}}
% \quad
% \datasetvariable{autores}{\recurselevel}{nombre}\par
% \stopsetups
Just loop over the set and call up the variables in the setup:
% \startdocument
% \dorecurse{\datasetsize{autores}}{
% \setups[userdata:idautor]
% }
% \stopdocument
However, i can provide a processor:
% \startsetups[userdata:idautor]
% \dontleavehmode
% \imghref
% {\externalfigure[cvlac.pdf][logo]}
% {\datasetvariable{autores}{\datasetindex}{vclac}}
% \quad
% \imghref

% {\datasetvariable{autores}{\datasetindex}{orcid}}
% \quad
% \imghref
% {\externalfigure[gscholar.pdf][logo]}
% {\datasetvariable{autores}{\datasetindex}{nombre}}
% \quad
% \datasetvariable{autores}{\datasetindex}{nombre}\par
% \stopsetups
As we know what dataset we process:
\startsetups[userdata:idautor]
\dontleavehmode
\imghref
{\externalfigure[cvlac.pdf][logo]}
{\datasetentry{vclac}}
\quad
\imghref
{\externalfigure[orcid.pdf][logo]}
{\datasetentry{orcid}}
\quad
\imghref
{\externalfigure[gscholar.pdf][logo]}
{\datasetentry{nombre}}
\quad
\datasetentry{nombre}
\par
\stopsetups
We then end up with:
\startdocument
\processdataset[autores][userdata:idautor]
\stopdocument
I'll mail you the patch. Copy it to the right place and remake the format.

I use the following for a notes chapter at the end of a book. It
produces headings that indicate the pages for which the notes apply.
Perhaps you can adapt it to your needs:
In the environment file:
\definemarking [notePage] \startsetups noteHeadingsText {\em
Notes for page
\doifelse{\fetchmark[notePage][top]}{\fetchmark[notePage][bottom]}
{ \getmarking[notePage][top]} {s
\getmarking[notePage][top]–\getmarking[notePage][bottom]}}
\stopsetups \startsetups noteHeadings:on
\setupheadertexts[][\setups{noteHeadingsText}]
[\setups{noteHeadingsText}][] \stopsetups
In the text:
\startbackmatter \startchapter[reference={cha:notes},
list={Notes}, % toc bookmark={Notes}, % pdf bookmark
title={Notes}] % chapter head [Lettrine=no]
\setups{noteHeadings:on} \placenotes[endnote] \stopchapter

Note the \rlap's (see attached pdf): we see that \tfx doesn't scale the
\symbol, although \tfa and higher do work.
I guess fixing \tfx-symbol interaction will be part of your conversation with
Wolfgang -)
> well, you wented symbols so
Ultimately I just want to be able to type the Unicode symbols for 02BE and 02BF
-- ʾ and ʿ -- and get proper results. The overwhelming majority of hq fonts
don't have them, and the few that do do them poorly, etc.
(So there is no substitute for full control of these transliteration
characters.)
So even if we use symbols, would like to feed these setups to the CLD template
you provided some days ago and feed the final result to \definefontfeature.

you'll figure it out, right?
For one of those two remaining characters we also need scaling, for the other
we also need scaling + rotation. It is not clear to me whether the
scaling/rotation commands should fall under the character function, e.g.,
the demo shows both: x/.y scaling and 90/180/270 rotation

So the reason I said CLD is best is because we already defined all of the
needed characters that way -- using your template -- except for these two, for
which we need to add scaling and or rotation.
The attached (linked in the previous email but attached here) gives us rotation
but no scaling.

Great, will study this. The challenge (for me) will be integrating this
approach into the lua definitions of the two needed characters. With
\defineactivecharacter deprecated, there seems to be no way other than CLD to
make and register the needed macro for \definefontfeature -- and we want to
move forward with the new regime and not look back.
well, you wented symbols so ... why lua then (btw, no need for squeezine
as there are virtual commands for scaling; not for rotating; an
alternative is to define some chars in metapost (see
meta-imp-gamesymbols) which gives you plenty freedom

The \newinteger approach would always increment the value, regardless of

[NTG-context] Re: Pass string into text background graphic
stopuseMPgraphic
% Watch how i moved the before/after blanks here:
\definetextbackground
[TextConcurrentFrame]
[mp=GraphicConcurrent,
% mp=mpos:region:draw,
method=mpos:region,
frame=off,
topoffset=1em,
leftoffset=1em,
before=\blank[2*big],
after=\blank,
location=paragraph]
% And use setups to get a nicer definition:
\startsetups concurrent:before
\ConcurrentTextSet{\xmlatt{\getvariable{div}{concurrent}}{data-title}}
\startTextConcurrentFrame
\stopsetups
\startsetups concurrent:after
\stopTextConcurrentFrame
\stopsetups
\definestartstop
[concurrent]
[before=\directsetup{concurrent:before},
after=\directsetup{concurrent:after}]
One problem with variables is that currently we cannot bind a "current"
value so I need to think a bit about it. Maybe the solution here, a bit
more robust is one. One can actually pass variables with a graphic but
again, these are then overwritten by a later one.
In lmtx we have a few better tex-mp communication tricks but these are
not yet documented in the manual. Contrary to mkii (intermediate as well
as runtime processing) and mkiv (runtime two pass in a run processing)
we can make some interfaces a bit simpler in mkxl but that happens
stepwise because we need to remain compatible. Much of the positional
graphic trickery is stil a bit mkii-ish in nature (where we had more mem
and runtime constraints).

Hi,
I uploaded a new lmtx. There are some new features that wil be revealed
in the future (likely after the meeting) but here is one:
\starttext
\defineoverlay
[test]
[\color
[blue]
{TEST
\inframed
[foregroundcolor=red]
{xxx}
TEST}]
\framed
[background=test,
foregroundstyle=\switchtobodyfont[small]]
{test}
\stoptext
From now on many commands accept (properly) nested [] inside commands
that use [] as fences (like the setup commands) where it makes sense. It
is up to the user to decide to use {} (as before) or not but it is less
error prone.
It is now also possible to nest setups as in
\starttext
\startsetups one
\startsetups [three]
HERE
\stopsetups
\stopsetups
\startsetups two
\startsetups [three]
THERE
\stopsetups
\stopsetups
\setups[one] \setups[three]
\setups[two] \setups[three]
\stoptext
As part of the ongoing improvements on math rendering we added some
classic lm/cm kerns (between upperacse and periods / commas) in the
goodie files.
Some lowlevel manuals have been extended, explaining experimental 'named
cross macro nesting parameter referencing' and 'constrained cq. retained
assignments', but that is only relevant for those interested in
overcoming some limitations in the traditional engines.

[NTG-context] Re: Par Builder Tests
Hi all!
Using the example below I have completed a test using a larger book.
This time I downloaded War and Peace from the Gutenberg Project and
extracted the individual xhtml files for Context.
I played around with the setups for the align:pass:test4 code below, as
Hans suggested, and it was changing the \tolerance value which made the
difference. Increasing the \tolerance value to 1000 eliminated all
overfull hboxes but still left 79 underfull hboxes. I continued to
increase the \tolerance value up to 6600 and was left with two overfull
hboxes. One with a badness of 6641 (warAndPeace1.png) and one with a
badness of 1097 (warAndPeace2.png). Above the \tolerance of 6600 only
warAndPeace2.png was left with a badness of 1097. Both of these
underfull hboxes were at the beginning of a paragraph - "To his Honor"
in the first png and "Well, you see," in the second png. I not sure a
reader would spot the second png badness but the first is noticeable to
my eyes.
I'm very pleased how the book has turned out, all 1668 pages of it as an
approximately 13cm by 20cm book. The pdf is 4MB and each run in ConTeXt
takes about 10 seconds on my M1 mac mini.
I'm interested in seeing how \setupalignpass develops and learning more
of how to use it.
Best Wishes

From these initial tests one can see that Test2 gave the lowest number

My setup for test 2b is as follows:

emergencystretch .25\bodyfontsize
\relax
% \linebreakpasses\plusone
\stopsetups
The only difference between test 2 and 2b are that I increased the
tolerance in each of the three passes.
In novel 2 this was successful in eliminating the overfull boxes but not
in Novel 1 although I noticed that majority of overfull boxes were above
1pt with the largest about 12pt in Novel 1.
I am at the stage now where I need some kind of strategy to
reduce/eliminate overfull boxes, other than changing the tolerance, and
I'm hoping for some advice from the community. Suggestions for further
reading particularly on the commands in \setupalignpass and their usage
would be appreciated and on the best way to tackle overfull boxes.
you're too tolerant (stick to 200), you can even start out with
pretolerance 50 and tolerance 150 and then in the passes 200

I guess that's the same mentality behind a fixed glue in LMTX, while
trying not to mess up the box. Back to point A and the main reason of the
op's question.
Then again, the only way to resemble what TeX does is by re/defining
and copied verbatim from The TeXbook both rightarrowfill and
leftarrowfill
and unlike with TeX in which an
\hbox to 1in{\vrule \rightarrowfill \ 1cm \leftarrowfill\vrule}
it says 1cm but it'd be more than that, and accurately so

That's funny.
But as chatgpt says:
"Sorry about that. \meaning\rightarrowfill is
\begingroup \scratchunicode 8594\relax \adaptivebox [mathfiller][alterna

Why would it be wrong?
When I type
\hbox to 3cm{\rightarrowfill} without a vrule
that's what I would normally expect

dr. Hans van der Meer

I find this interesting. I agree with Hans vdM.
So what would be the acceptable standard given an x length of a glue?
In the above examples, it's all preset.
Is a rule of thumb — no pun intended here — to apply thereafter
a glue, in this case a \vrule that follows the box and precedes the
other glue? that is, the \rightarrowfill or \leftarrowfill?
I mean. Once you get the glues messed up, the whole box crumbles.
I'm not sure how you can mess up glue so that the box is no longer a
box. Boxes remain boxes.
How good would \meaning be here, notwithstanding the valuable info of
the macro it provides, if it can't print out, let alone source it up,
the more accurate dimension, let alone the measurement.
I don't follow. Does this come from ChapGPT?
So, one would need to know the preset layout of the page to have an idea
about it?
Hans H. pulled the old modified trick of 'works here'.
Well, when used in a paragraph it works indeed. No trick involved. But
as it uses a specific mechanism in an hbox you need to trigger that
(unless you want to add overhead that will kake tex crawl).
Like a magician… now all of a sudden evetything works, but unlike TeX's
Not sure what this refers to. Much of TeX is magick but what is bad
about that?
\hbox to 1in{\vrule \rightarrowfill \ 1in \leftarrowfill\vrule}
or
\hbox to 1cm{\vrule \rightarrowfill \ 1cm \leftarrowfill\vrule}
which gives an accurate description, not to mention measurement,
It depends on what you expect. First of all, your assumption that the
arrow fill is the same as in plain tex is wrong.
(1) one can define an arrow fill using a leader that uses some (happen
to be present in tex math fonts) glyphs: repeated minuses followed by
some magic kern and an arrow head.
(2) You can hope that the magick kern is right and that the minus aligns
with the arrows bar.
(3) You also assume that the math font matches the text font.
(4) Normally an arrow fill is something math anyway. Where there can
also be something on top or below, or where it can be a top or bottom
accent.
a
\vbox to 5pt{x\vrule\rightarrowfill \ x \leftarrowfill\vrule\ x}
or
x \rightarrowfill x
x \leftarrowfill x
or
\vbox to 3pt{x\vrule\rightarrowfill \ \leftarrowfill\vrule\ x}
\ \rightarrowfill \
\ \leftarrowfill \
in LMTX doesn't say much
What should it say? You get a space, an arrow and a discarded space.
That said: I think you miss a few points here:
(1) I know Hans vd Meer well and he knows ConTeXt well. He's quite
capable of figuring out how to use advanced features and I bet he likes
the following variant of arrows in text. Next time we meet I'll show him
some more adaptive tricks (although I bet he can figure them out himself).
\starttext

(2) If someone wants a plain (or fot that matter latex) solution then
one can use these macro packages or write a macro that mimicks
expectations.
(3) I don't like "Hans H. pulled the old modified trick of 'works
here'." kind of remarks because they have a rather negative undertone
and I don't know how to read that.

[NTG-context] Custom TOC with makeup and setups
Hello,
I am trying to create a presentation where at the start of each section in
my presentation, a custom TOC page is shown. When I am at a particular
section, the TOC will grey out all other sections (not implemented in my
MWE). I have tried different ways but I find using makeups for the TOC page
works ok (following
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setuplistalternative and Aditya's
presentation slides on their blog). My challenge is that when a makeup page
is inserted, it leaves a page with the section name blank before it. How do
I fix it? Any other way to achieve this is also welcome. My MWE:

When your document prints only text in a single language change the
setup above to
\startmode [JA]
\setscript [nihongo]
\mainlanguage [ja]
\stopmode
but for documents which use multiple script/languages at the same time
replace the previous setup with
\startsetups [japanese]
\setscript [nihongo]
\stopsetups
\setuplanguage [ja] [setups=japanese]
and add \language[ja] before japanese text to ensure linebreaking is
enabled.

Re: [NTG-context] adjustment to my local footnotes problem
I tried all those Hraban, unsuccessfully, but finally 'happened' upon a
solution by trying whitespace instead in the setups. Except that I had
read somewhere in the mailing list (Pablo I think) that I would need to
use \directsetup. I don't actually understand why, have never been sure
about what \directsetup does, but there's no doubt it works in this
case! So the following has done what I needed:
\startsetups[setups:footnotes]
\setupwhitespace[.01em]
\stopsetups
\setupnote[before=\directsetup{setups:footnotes}]

I assume it is \setupnote (rather than \setupnotation, my earlier

\setupnote[before={\blank[small]}, after={\blank[small]}]. It appears

Did you try "inbetween" or "distance"? (I’d assume the latter is for
the distance between number and text, but inbetween is usually
vertically.)

\placelocalfootnotes? Or is there something else I should do in the
case of local footnotes as distinct from general footnotes (my
document contains ONLY local footnotes, however).
I was wondering if \setupnote[localfootnote][…] makes sense, but I
can’t find in the sources if local footnotes are setup differently
from general one.

Re: [NTG-context] adjustment to my local footnotes problem
I tried all those Hraban, unsuccessfully, but finally 'happened' upon a
solution by trying whitespace instead in the setups. Except that I had
read somewhere in the mailing list (Pablo I think) that I would need to
use \directsetup. I don't actually understand why, have never been sure
about what \directsetup does, but there's no doubt it works in this
case! So the following has done what I needed:
\startsetups[setups:footnotes]
\setupwhitespace[.01em]
\stopsetups
\setupnote[before=\directsetup{setups:footnotes}]

I assume it is \setupnote (rather than \setupnotation, my earlier
mistake) where I would need to somehow influence distance between
footnotes which is currently too large. I have tried
\setupnote[before={\blank[small]}, after={\blank[small]}]. It appears
to be reducing the space before the entire block of local footnotes
but not between the footnotes themselves, which is what I am trying
to do.
Did you try "inbetween" or "distance"? (I’d assume the latter is for
the distance between number and text, but inbetween is usually
vertically.)

[NTG-context] interlines space for local footnotes
I am using only local footnotes in a document, but am having difficulty influencing the interlines space between these notes. Since I am only using local footnotes, I thought initially that the following would work for them \startsetups[footnote:interlinespace] \setupinterlinespace[line=2.4ex] \stopsetups \setupnote[footnote][setups=footnote:interlinespace] but it doesn't. I had hoped there might be something like \setuplocalfootnotes but there is not. I also tried placing the setups locally, either with \startlocalfootnotes[setups=footnote:interlinespace] or \placelocalfootnotes[setups=footnote:interlinespace]. Any idea how I can successfully influence my local footnotes globally?

[NTG-context] Userdata environment
Hi,
I have already created a thread on the subject and Wolgang, Marco and Taco
have replied but the userdata environment is not yet clear to me. I would
like, if possible, to write a definition, a property or a theorem on the
left and illustrate it in the right margin with an example. In the code
below, the second example is on the second page and not next to the second
definition.
Thanks.

I need to attach some value to a chapter in that key. That custom

I tried:
\chapter[title={A sample title}][custom_random={custom_value}]
\setupheadertexts[{Prefix: \structureuservariable{custom_random}}]
...
\stopchapter
I tried this code when trying to figure out the mechanism. The prefix
string in placed in the header, but hte custom value of the attached
key is not expanded..
Evey page will contain just one section started by a \startchapter and
\stop chapter. I would like to put this custom attached value in the
right slot in the document header.
I hope that htis time around htigs are more clear.

Re: [NTG-context] String substitution using regular expressions and backreferences
On 8/25/2022 9:44 PM, Thangalin via ntg-context wrote:
I've attempted to apply Wolfgang's subtle suggestion of using Lua to parse
the input document using a regular expression via lpeg.replacer. The
replacement itself works fine; however, in doing so the XML document
structure is converted to text, which means that it is no longer possible
to "flush" the XML for further processing as XML. The result is that any
unresolved XML tags are written verbatim to the PDF:
https://i.stack.imgur.com/9ZFND.png
There are two other issues with this approach. First is efficiency. Second
is that the processing function would have to be called for every XML
element to capture the replacement.
My original post asked about applying regex word substitution in a ConTeXt
way, such as:
\definereplacement[SubstMac][ match={Mc([A-Z].*)}, replace={\Mac \\1} ]
\definereplacement[SubstPostmeridian][ match={[Pp]\\.[Mm]\\.},
replace={\cap{pm}} ]
That seems like the cleanest approach because it would work on top of XML
or any other source document. Nevertheless, here is what I tried, which
partially works:
\startbuffer[main]
“Mr. McAnulty, I presume?”
Regular text. Irregular text.
\stopbuffer
\startxmlsetups xml:xhtml

x = lpeg.replacer( rep ):match( tostring( xml.text( t ) ) )
buffers.assign( "p", context( x ) )
context.getbuffer{ "p" }
end\stopluacode
\xmlregistersetup{xml:xhtml}
\def\Mac{%

As shown in the screen shot, this doesn't correctly handle nested XML
elements.
Any ideas on what approach to take to perform a string replacement in
ConTeXt?
Best stay at the xml end ...

local rep = lpeg.replacer { [1] = { "McAnulty", "\\Mac Anulty" } }
function xml.functions.p(t)
local dt = t.dt
for i=1,#dt do
local di = dt[i]
if type(di) == "string" then
dt[i] = lpeg.match(rep,di)
end
end
end
\stopluacode
\xmlregistersetup{xml:xhtml}
\startdocument
\xmlprocessbuffer{main}{main}{}

But this is more fun and probably also more reliable:

Re: [NTG-context] error with sbl bibliography on latest LMTX
Sorry, these are definitely errors on my part. The first one ("invalid
parent sbl:list:title:unpublished for sbl:list:title:thesis,
sbl:list:title:unpublished defined too") was thankfully an easy fix; I just
had to move \definebtx[sbl:\s!list:title:unpublished] before
\definebtx[sbl:\s!list:title:thesis]. I've now pushed this change to the
repo at https://github.com/jjmccollum/context-sbl.
The second error ("Undefined control sequence \currentbtxloctext") is
unfortunately more puzzling. In an effort to preserve backward
compatibility with biblatex usage, I focused on implementing citations in
the SBL style using \autocite, \inlinecite, \parencite, and \footcite
commands, and I neglected to see if the ConTeXt \cite command would work as
expected.
The \currentbtxloctext macro is used for handling more complicated
situations regarding volume, part, page number, etc. citations; for the
purposes of your MWE (and for most citations) a righttext with the page
number citation should also work just fine, so the lack of a loctext
parameter in the \cite command shouldn't be a problem. The
\currentbtxloctext macro is defined in most of the btx:sbl:cite setups in
publ-imp-sbl.mkvi, always via the command
```
\def\currentbtxloctext{\btxparameter{loctext}}
```
The default value of this parameter and similar ones should be \empty, per
the \definebtx[sbl] command in publ-imp-sbl.mkvi:
```
\definebtx
[sbl]
[
...
lefttext=\empty, % empty by default
altloctext=\empty, %empty by default
loctext=\empty, %empty by default
righttext=\empty, % empty by default
punct=\empty, % trailing punctuation (empty by default)
...
]
```
If I've coded this correctly, then the loctext parameter should default to
\empty when you do not specify it for your \cite command. This seems to be
the case when you first invoke the \cite command (i.e., in the
btx:sbl:cite:footnote setup).
Here is the problem: if you invoke the btx:sbl:cite:inline setup from
inside the btx:sbl:cite:footnote setup, it seems that the loctext parameter
is no longer accessible, and thus, it does not get defined. If I patch the
btx:sbl:cite:footnote setup as follows, then I no longer get the "Undefined
control sequence \currentbtxloctext" error:
```
% Inline footnote citation setup (with intelligent trailing punctuation
replacement)
\startsetups btx:sbl:cite:footnote
\removeunwantedspaces
\doifinstring{\btxparameter{punct}}{\btxparameter{autopunctuation}}{\btxparameter{punct}}
\begingroup
\letbtxparameter{punct}\empty % don't pass the trailing punctuation down
to the inline setup
\let\doifendswithpunctelse\btx_sbl_doifendswithpunctelse % why is this
necessary? For some reason, \btx_sbl_doifendswithpunctelse is not
recognized within the footnote environment...
\def\currentbtxcitealternative{footnote}
\def\currentbtxcategory{\btxfield{category}}
\def\currentbtxloctext{\btxparameter{loctext}}
\def\currentbtxaltloctext{\btxparameter{altloctext}}
\startfootnote
\Word{\fastsetup{btx:sbl:cite:inline}}% capitalize the first word in
the footnote (needed to render "Ibid." and "Idem" correctly)
% Add a closing period if there is no righttext
\doif{\btxparameter{righttext}}{\empty} {
\btxperiod
}
\stopfootnote
\endgroup
\doifnotinstring{\btxparameter{punct}}{\btxparameter{autopunctuation}}{\btxparameter{punct}}
\stopsetups
```
But I still get errors involving other macros that now appear to be
undefined—specifically, the \btxsblshorthandbeforeloctext macro (and,
likely, the \btxsblvolumebeforeloctext macro, as well). These are initially
defined as "no" in the SBL style module outside of the various citation
alternative setups, but they are conditionally redefined as "yes" in these
setups based on specific information in the bibliographic entry.
This pattern suggests a bigger problem. Do these variables and the \cite
parameters fall out of scope when we enter a footnote environment inside a
setup? In my code, I noticed that a macro defined outside of the
btx:sbl:cite:footnote setup was unrecognized within the footnote
environment unless I freshly redefined it:
```
\let\doifendswithpunctelse\btx_sbl_doifendswithpunctelse % why is this
necessary? For some reason, \btx_sbl_doifendswithpunctelse is not
recognized within the footnote environment...
```
Meanwhile, if I change the default citation alternative to "inline" or
"paren", then everything works:
```
\usebtxdataset[default][references.bib]
\setupbtx[dataset=default]
\usebtxdefinitions[sbl]
\setupbtx[sbl:cite][alternative=paren] % or alternative=inline
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\starttext
superior typographic output \cite[lefttext={e.g.}][taraborelli:beauty].
Therefore, the {\TEX}book mentions that the word
\quotation{shel\noligature{ff}ul} should indeed be rendered without the
ff-ligature \cite[righttext={p.~19}][knuth:texbook].

How can I get headings added to the line numbers?
Many thanks for your help,

Hi Gerben,
\language[gr], but beware since it uses patterns for ancient Greek.
preset=range:greek is what you intend.
Another approach would be to use \setuplanguage[gr] and configure the
font in setups.
Here you have a minimal sample with both approaches:
\mainlanguage[en]
\definefallbackfamily
[archimate]
[ss]
[MgOpenCosmetica]
[preset=range:greek,
force=yes]
\definefontfamily [archimate] [ss] [Optima]
\setupbodyfont[archimate]
\definefontfamily
[mgopencosm]
[ss]
[MgOpenCosmetica]
[preset=range:greek,
force=yes]
\startsetups[greek-typeface]
\switchtobodyfont[mgopencosm]
\stopsetups
\setuplanguage[agr][setups={greek-typeface}]
\startbuffer
