[NTG-context] ANN: Metappeal 0.1.0
Hi, although the following is an announcement of a pure MetaPost library, I thought that it might be of interest to this list, given the tight integration of MetaPost with ConTeXt. Metappeal is an extension to Plain MetaPost, providing a lightweight framework for consistent development in MetaPost. Metappeal 0.1.0 is the second release of this newborn project, bringing you new prominent features: - classes and templates; - delegation; - new basic data structures (bigints, bigstrings); - much better documentation (which is different from very good documentation). in addition to a unit testing framework, other data structures (arrays, records, stacks, lists, trees, mboxes, ...) and parametrized code blocks. Nothing graphical yet, sorry, apart from mboxes (getting classes right was hard enough). Metappeal is available from: http://users.dimi.uniud.it/~nicola.vitacolonna/home/content/metappeal and feedback is welcome. Happy MetaPost development!

[NTG-context] XeConTeXt and Euler
Hi, I'm pretty new to ConTeXt, so please bear with me if the following has already been asked (I have not found any answer in the archives, though). My goal is to use an arbitrary text font together with the Euler math font. I am able to use a few combinations in ConTeXt, e.g. Palatino with Euler, without problems. But when I switch to XeConTeXt (to use my system's fonts), some Euler's math accents do not show up properly (\hat) or not at all (\acute, \grave, \bar, \breve, \dot, \ddot, \tilde, \check). I guess the problem is the different encoding (and possibly the use of virtual fonts), but I know that Euler works in XeTeX: is it possible to make it work in XeConTeXt? Below you find my sample code.

[NTG-context] Relationship among mptopdf, mpost and latex
Hi,
some time ago I needed to include a png file into a MetaPost picture and
I did it with the MetaFun macro externalfigure. I compiled the code with
mptopdf and the result was fine. Since I had no previous experience with
it, my code used LaTeX, not ConTeXt, for the labels.
I have recently updated my distributions (TeX Live 2007 and gwTeX on Mac
OS X) and the same code does not work any longer in either distribution.
A minimal example reproducing the problem is as follows:
verbatimtex
%latex
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
etex
beginfig(0);
externalfigure pic.png scaled 15mm shifted origin;
label.bot(btex $x$ etex, origin);
endfig;
end;
The error mptopdf gives is:
! Undefined control sequence.
l.44 \documentclass
{article}
as if the code were not interpreted as LaTeX code. I have tried the
following two variants, but with no positive results:
1) I have used
input TEX;
TEXPRE(%latex char(10)
\documentclass{article}\begin{document});
TEXPOST(\end{document});
instead of the verbatimtex.. etex block, and
label.bot(TEX(x_1), origin);
to draw the label. In this case, mptopdf does not complain, but I see
'0' instead of the label in the output.
2) I have added
input mp-tool;
input mp-spec;
to both the original code above and to variant 1) and I have typeset
with mpost. The results are
original code) the png picture is not shown in the output;
variant 1) I get the error:
! Unable to make mpx file.
l.3 btex
x_1 etex
So, I kindly ask someone to help me tidy things up. In particular:
a) Is it possible to include the MetaFun macros when using mpost?
b) Is it possible to use the %latex syntax with mptopdf?

I remember that Hans claimed that texmfstart (or texexec) could be
convinced to process LaTeX documents (and there is some mention of
latex command in core indeed), but I never managed to make it work.
LaTeX has worked only in the very beginning, when I was still
using latex somewhat regularly, and afaik I was the only tester
of that code (Btw, that means texexec dates back to at least the
year 2000).
i can probably extend texexec easily to do the multipass latex thing
(just as i support plain tex) but it has a low priority (useless to make
something that no one will use or only one or two users)
About mptopdf: something is definately wrong there, and it really
should be fixed. It is totally pointless when mptopdf processes
only context-based files properly, since these are the only ones
that do not _need_ mptopdf in the first place.
i remember fixing something because a latex user asked for it but usually
don't test that (samep for supp-pdf), so if i get solutions i can put them in
(i need to rewrite the thing anyway)
I have browsed mptopdf.pl code and I have discovered that I can process
my original example with
mptopdf --rawmp --metafun example.mp
(en passant, it would be nice if 'mptopdf --help' showed the available
options).
The script recognizes when LaTeX is being used (lines 78--84), but
unless --rawmp is given, it processes the file with texexec (which, as
far as I have understood, does not currently work correctly with LaTeX,
even if it probably should).
It has turned out that the combination mptopdf/latex seems quite an
unusual one: apparently, a ConTeXt user does not need to care about
LaTeX stuff (of course); on the other hand, a LaTeX user might want to
include the powerful MetaFun macros in raw MetaPost files (that was my
case), without using ConTeXt. The latter can be accomplished as shown
above, which implies
mpost --tex=latex --progname=mpost --mem=metafun
So, why not change mptopdf.pl so that it uses the command above when the
latex switch is present and texexec only when there is no LaTeX related
stuff? That is, change lines 86-100 to read:
if ($Latex) { # Use mpost + metafun macros
$mpbin = mpost --tex=latex --progname=mpost --mem=metafun ;
} else {
$mpbin = texexec --mptex $PassOn ;
}
The rationale here is that, probably, the more complicated processing by
texexec is not relevant to the LaTeX user.
My other question was: is page 5, ?1 in metafun-p.pdf obsolete? As I
have already pointed out, 'input mp-tool; input mp-spec;' at the
beginning of my original example results in no errors, but the output
has a blank figure. Or is this a question for the metapost mailing list?

Put your product specific settings in the product file. AFAIU, they will not be executed. There is really no clean way of doing this without adding extra markup.

It would have been simple if title text was surronded by some markup, but it is not. This is one of the reasons projects are not supposed to have any matertial that will be typeset. So, the short answer is just add \environment commands in your components. Ok, I had thought about it: it just doesn't feel the right way to me (logically, as the enviroment is common to all components, it should be put at a level that is common to all components...) Another way is to use localenvironments in your environment file, but I have never used them myself. I have read about \localenvironment and tried it a bit, but without much success: I must say that I find the documentation about it a bit cryptic.

Just as you will specify fonts in your regular document.
Putting the same definitions inside \startMPinclusions...
\stopMPinclusions does not seem to work with XeTeX.

Re: [NTG-context] Label loops within a XeConTeXt document
1) is it possible to specify the fonts in an MPenviroment? If so, how?
Just as you will specify fonts in your regular document.
Putting the same definitions inside \startMPinclusions...
\stopMPinclusions does not seem to work with XeTeX.
It is MPenvironent and not MPinclusions. I do not have xetex, so I
can not test this.
Ok, even if I put those definitions in an MPenvironment the text fonts
do not change (I guess the mechanism for font selection is slightly
different in XeTeX).
how do I change
\startTeXtexts
\dorecurse{10}{\TeXtext{\recurselevel}{$x_{\recurselevel}$}}
\stopTeXtexts
so that I can print labels from x_0 up to x_9? Do I need to use
\defineconversion and \convertnumber?
No, use \dostepwiserecuse. The general syntax is
\dostepwiserecurse {from} {to} {step} {action}
so
\dostepwiserecurse {0} {9} {1}
{\TeXtext{\recurselevel}{$x_{\recurselevel}$} should work.
Thank you very much!

I have tried that, but sometxt(0) prints nothing. Anyway, I have solved
it like this:

\TeXtext{0}{$x_0$}

[NTG-context] Labels in figures with wrong bounding box
Hi,
I am typesetting a document with XeConTeXt, containing many MetaPost
figures. All the labels in the figures are typeset using \sometxt{} and
sometxt(). For some reasons, in the final document some of them appear
horribly stretched or shrinked as if their bounding box has not been
computed correctly (even after typesetting the document n times). I have
absolutely no clue why that happens, but I imagine it is some strange
interaction in the environment file, because if I typeset any of the
problematic figures by itself in a different document with a minimal
environment everything is fine. My environment file is quite long and I
cannot find a short example showing the problem.
The deformed labels seem to be always among those written by \sometxt
(but not all of them are wrong!), while those written using sometxt()
seem always ok. What may it depend upon?
Nicola
PS: I am aware of the interaction between sometxt() and \sometxt: I
would like to point out that the labels are *not* messed up: they are
the correct labels, just appearing deformed.

Ok, I solved the problem by getting rid of all \sometxt commands and
replacing them by low-level sometxt(). Mojca's My Way about sometxt
says If you want to prevent clashes, use higher numbers in [\TeXtext's]
arguments. I use numbers beyond 1000. I definitely do not have 1000
labels and, in fact, the correct labels are put in the correct places.
But it seems that the two commands do not like each other anyway. Is it
really not advisable to use them in the same document?

[NTG-context] ConTeXt Minimals and TEXMFCACHE
Hi, according to the wiki “ConTeXt minimals does not touch anything outside its installation folder”, but if TEXMFCACHE is not set by setuptex, actually many files may be written outside the ConTeXt minimals folder, and (as in my case) they may conflict with the files written by ConTeXt from TeX Live in the same cache folder. Is there any reason why exporting TEXMFCACHE is commented out in setuptex?

[NTG-context] Font sizes, vertical spacing, footnote symbols

problems implementing it. I am using MKIV from TeX Live 2010. I have

1) title: 17pt, boldface, capital letters; 12pt spacing before and 3pt
spacing after the title;
Now I use

How can I ensure that the font size is exactly 17pt?
How to I specify precise vertical spacing?
3) All § must be indented 1.25cm;
\setupindenting[1.25cm,yes,first]
But the first § of each Section is not indented.
4) footnote symbol: *
I use
\setupnote[footnote][numberconversion=set 3]
but I get stars instead of asterisks.
Can you please help me with these?

[NTG-context] Help: tweaking bibliography style
Hi,
currently, in my document, an article reference looks like this:
[1] Thor, A. U. (2010). ConTeXt is great. My Own Publishing, 2(4), 23-34.
with the title in italics. How to make the year appear at the end and
how to make the publisher in italics, too? I would like such changes to
apply to other types of references as well (books, inproceedings, etc...)
Second, \cite[Thor:2010,Bar:2009] produces something like [6 and 9]. How
do I get rid of 'and' and get simply [6,9]?
This is my current setup (mainly code copied from the Wiki):
\usemodule[bib]
\setupbibtex[database=my-biblio,sort=author]
\def\bracketed#1{\hbox to 20pt{\hfill [{#1}]}}
\setuppublications[
sorttype=bib,
numbering=yes,
numbercommand=\bracketed
]
\unprotect\def\UCauthor#1#2#3#4#5%
{\bf\bibdoif{#2}{#2\bibalternative\c!vonsep}%
#3\bibalternative\c!surnamesep
\bibdoif{#5}{#5\bibalternative\c!juniorsep}%
\bibdoif{#4}{#4\unskip}}
\protect
\setuppublicationlist[
artauthor=\UCauthor,
editor=\UCauthor,
author=\UCauthor,
namesep={, },
lastnamesep={, },
finalnamesep={, }
]
A last, less important, question: the Wiki suggests to
\usemodule[bibltx]. If I do so, I get the warning “module bibltx not
found”. It seems that omitting that module has no consequences. Is it
needed at all? If so, for what?

[NTG-context] mptopdf overwrites and deletes pdf file?
Hi, consider a folder containing foo.tex and foo.mp. Suppose that, when compiled, foo.mp outputs foo.1. Then, the following: texexec foo.tex mptopdf foo.mp will end up having foo.pdf deleted. I guess this is because mptopdf creates foo.pdf out of foo.mp *and then* renames it into foo-1.mp. Is it true? Is there a workaround (something like -jobname), other than using different names?

[NTG-context] Custom verb-c inside my working directory
Hi,
in MKII the following code produces the wrong result ('* x;')
\usemodule[verb-c]
\starttext
\startC
int* x;
\stopC
\stoptext
I know that I should use \definetyping[C][option=C] instead of
\usemodule.
The fact is, what I am actually loading is a customized verb-c file that
I've put inside my working directory (and I have also renamed). How to
reconcile the use of \definetyping with a local file?

[NTG-context] List of all bibliography items is empty in mkiv

some respect? If it is a bug, is there a workaround?

You could try adding some text or even a section command. At some point it should start working (probably even without an explicit \cite anywhere). Nevertheless, it looks like a bug. Unfortunately, adding text or sectioning command doesn't help. Today I have updated ConTeXt Minimals as usual, using sh ./first-setup.sh, but the version I've got is 2010.05.24 (whereas I had 2010.06.10). Why? Needless to say, I don't get any output yet. Since nobody has confirmed that the problem I have described can be reproduced, I must infer that it is something related to my particular setup. So, I will provide more details on my configuration (sorry for the verbosity), hoping that someone will spot something that should be fixed. Under the latest Mac OS X, I use both (stable) ConTeXt from TeX Live 2009 and an installation of ConTeXt Minimals (beta) in ~/Library/texmf/context-minimals. This is how I update ConTeXt in TeX Live, step by step: 1) update the ConTeXt distribution to the latest stable release: sudo rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/context/current/ /usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/ 2) Update LuaTeX executable: sudo rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/bin/luatex/osx-universal/bin/l uatex /usr/local/texlive/2009/bin/universal-darwin/ 3) Re-build LuaTeX format files: cd /usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-var/web2c/luatex sudo luatex -ini luatex.ini sudo luatex -ini lualatex.ini sudo luatex -ini dviluatex.ini sudo luatex -ini dvilualatex.ini 4) Update XeTeX executable: sudo rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/bin/xetex/osx-universal/bin/xe tex /usr/local/texlive/2009/bin/universal-darwin/ 5) Re-build XeTeX format files: sudo fmtutil-sys --byfmt xelatex sudo fmtutil-sys --byfmt xetex 7) Update MetaPost executable: sudo rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/bin/metapost/osx-universal/bin /mpost /usr/local/texlive/2009/bin/universal-darwin/ 8) Update MetaPost format files: sudo fmtutil-sys --byfmt mpost sudo fmtutil-sys --byfmt metafun cd /usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-var/web2c/metapost/ sudo mpost -ini mfplain dump 9) Fix permissions of some executables (I always have to do this: is it a known bug?) cd /usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/scripts/context/lua sudo chmod +x luatools.lua mtxrun.lua cd /usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/scripts/context/perl sudo chmod +x *.pl cd /usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/scripts/context/stubs/unix/ sudo chmod +x * 10) Update MKII format files: sudo mktexlsr sudo -H texexec --make --all sudo -H texexec --make --xtx --all (here I use -H because I want the format files to be written under /usr/local/texlive and not in ~/Library/texmf/web2c) 11) Update MKIV format files: luatools --generate context --make Note that these last two commands are run without sudo, because I have chosen to have luatex-cache under ~/Library/texmf, so I have added export TEXMFCACHE=~/Library/texmf to my .profile. And here is how I update ConTeXt Minimals: 0) Move to the right directory: cd ~/Library/texmf/context-minimals 1) Update first-setup.sh: curl -o first-setup.sh http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/first-setup.sh 2) Update ConTeXt Minimals: sh ./first-setup.sh --extras=all 3) Set environment variables (I do this every time before using ConTeXt Minimals of course): source ./tex/setuptex export TEXMFCACHE=$TEXROOT/texmf-cache Note that I also change TEXMFCACHE, not to conflict with stable ConTeXt. 4) Re-build format files: mktexlsr texexec --make --all texexec --make --xtx --all luatools --selfupdate mtxrun --selfupdate luatools --generate context --make texexec --make mpost That's it.

[NTG-context] No bibliography in the output, depends on file name
Hi,
maybe this is a known issue, but I couldn't find anything about it, so I'm
reporting it.
I'm writing a ConTeXt document called modern-c++.tex (in OS X 10.7.5). The
content of the file is:
\setupbibtex[database={modern-c++}, sort=author]
\setuppublications[numbering=yes]
\starttext
\completepublications[criterium=all]
\stoptext
(Well, I haven't started to write my notes yet.) When typesetting it, though,
no
bibliography is printed (I've tried with Mark II/IV from MacTeX and with the
latest Mark IV stable/beta). Renaming the .tex file to cplusplus.tex solves the
problem (there is no need to rename the .bib file).

I get multiple hyperlinks for equivalent use.
This is your example adapted to reproduce my problem (I do not
know how to use the buffer in this case, so you have to move the
references into main.bib):
\setupinteraction [state=start]
\setupbibtex[database={main}]
\setuppublications[alternative=apa]
\starttext
\cite[Author1:2016,Author2:2015]
\cite[Author1:2016]
\page
\placepublications[criterium=text]
\stoptext
Amyway, your example works for me (actually, the layout of the references
turns out even better), so I will switch to using the commands you have
suggested.
Btw, I cannot find any documentation about them in the wiki.
Thanks,
Nicola
You need to send a MWE.
In the case of bibliographies, a MWE can include the .bib dataset in a
buffer, as follows:
\setupinteraction [state=start]
\usebtxdefinitions [apa]
\startbuffer [bib]
@article{Author1:2016,
author={Author1},
year=2016,
}
@article{Author2:2015,
author={Author2},
year=2015,
}
\stopbuffer
\usebtxdataset [bib.buffer]
\starttext
\cite[Author1:2016,Author2:2015]
\page
\placelistofpublications

I do that?
I have investigated the issue a bit more and it seems that I have
a more fundamental problem with fonts. More specifically, I have
tested the latest beta (ConTeXt 0.63 2016.02.08 15:35) and the TeX
Live version (ConTeXt 0.61 2015.05.18 12:26), with inconsistent
results. The beta is a fresh install, where I have only executed:
sh ./first-setup.sh --modules=all --engine=luatex
. ./tex/setuptex
luatools --generate
This is a selection of fonts that I have tried (the name is the name
that I have used as an argument to \definefamily):
Name SuffixTeXLive ConTeXt ConTeXt Beta
---
Baskerville .ttc OK OK
Courier .dfont unknown font unknown font
Geneva.dfont OK unknown font
Helvetica .dfont OK unknown font
Helvetica Neue.dfont Nearly OK(*) unknown font
Helvetica Neue Desk Interface .ttc Nearly OK(*) Nearly OK(**)
Hoefler .ttc unknown font unknown font
Hoefler Text .ttc unknown font unknown font
Hoefler Text Ornaments.ttc unknown font unknown font
Menlo .ttc OK OK
Monaco.dfont OK unknown font
Optima.ttc OK OK
Palatino .ttc OK OK
Source Code Pro .otf OK Nearly OK(***)
Times .dfont unknown font unknown font
Times Roman .dfont unknown font unknown font
(*) Instead of bold, bold italic is used
(**) Instead of bold italic, bold is used (!)
(***) Italic and bold italic are shown as regular and italic, resp.
In general, I have no problems with .ttf and .otf fonts (with the
exception of Source Code Pro, see the table).
From the above:
(1) I conclude that .dfont fonts are not dealt properly by ConTeXt, or
that I am missing some configuration step.
(2) I suspect that I also have a naming issue (e.g., see Hoefler and
Times). This is what mtxrun gives me for Hoefler (for both ConTeXt
versions):
mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=hoefl*
hoeflertext hoeflertextornaments
/Library/Fonts/Hoefler Text Ornaments.ttf
hoeflertextblack hoeflertextblack
/Library/Fonts/Hoefler Text.ttc index: 2
hoeflertextblackitalic hoeflertextblackitalic
/Library/Fonts/Hoefler Text.ttc index: 4

hoeflertextornaments hoeflertextornaments
/Library/Fonts/Hoefler Text Ornaments.ttf
hoeflertextregular hoeflertextregular
/Library/Fonts/Hoefler Text.ttc index: 1
(3) I still don't now how to select, say, Helvetica Light or Avenir Black.
For the record, in LuaLaTeX I use \setsansfont{Helvetica Neue Light},
and it works.
The document I have used for the tests is pretty basic, but I paste it
below for completeness.

this is because \mathop is redefined (in th eprocess assuming a braced

you can add this to cont-new.mkiv

Hi,
Newbie question: are there any vim snippets available for context?
I don't know of any (apart from what has already been posted).
Are you using UltiSnips? Here are a few I am using, adapted from
tex.snippets:
snippet "s(tart)?" "start / stop" br
\start${1:something}
${0:${VISUAL}}
\stop$1
endsnippet
snippet enum "Enumerate" b
\startitemize[n]

\stopitemize
endsnippet
snippet item "Itemize" b
\startitemize
\item
$0
\stopitemize
endsnippet
snippet it "Individual item" b
\item
$0

IMHO, it takes less to write your own snippets perfectly suited to your
writing style (e.g., I like a newline after each \item) than trying to
understand (sometimes overly complicated) snippets written by others.

[NTG-context] Deprecated $…$ for inline math?
I read in the wiki (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Math) that $…$
for inline math is deprecated in favor of \m{…} and more verbose
variants. Is that really the case? If so, what is the reason and
what are the differences?

[NTG-context] Vertically centered text in each page
Inspired by Aditya's "make a presentation in 40 commits" example,
I have defined my own environment for slides. A part of it looks
like this:
%%%
\startreusableMPgraphic{header:background}
fill OverlayBox
leftenlarged BackSpace
rightenlarged CutSpace
topenlarged TopSpace
withcolor OverlayColor ;
setbounds currentpicture to OverlayBox
enlarged max(BackSpace,CutSpace) ;
\stopreusableMPgraphic
\defineoverlay[header:background][\reuseMPgraphic{header:background}]
\define[2]\MySlide{\framed[
frame=off,
background=header:background,
backgroundcolor=orange,
width=\textwidth,
align=flushleft
]{#2}}
\definehead[slide][subject]
\setuphead[slide][
style=\ssb,
command=\MySlide,
color=white,
page=yes,
]
\starttext
\startslide[title={Slide One}]
\vfill
text
\vfill
\stopslide
\startslide[title={Slide Two}]
\vfill
text
\vfill
\stopslide
\stoptext
%%%
As you see, I am using \vfill to have the text vertically centered.
How do I setup the slide command to do that by default? I have tried
putting {before,after,beforesection,aftersection}=\vfill in various
combinations in \setuphead, but I cannot obtain the desired effect.
Related to the code above, I have another question: if I remove the
comma after page=yes, slides are not split into different pages. Is
it normal that a comma is required at the end of an argument list?

Something like:

(which does not work).

The missing comma is not the issue, it's the space.
Ah, right. For other commands space is not a problem. Go figure.

No clue why that doesn't work. Wait for others to chime in.
Here's a workaround, though:
\unprotect
\setuphead [slide]
[insidesection=\doifnot{\structureuservariable\c!align}\c!top\vfill,
aftersection=\doifnot{\structureuservariable\c!align}\c!top\vfill]
\protect
no need for unprotect is you use
\doifnot{\structureuservariable{align}}{top}\vfill
Marco, Hans,
thanks! It works like a charm.

[NTG-context] Diamond, and Unicode math symbols
I'm looking for a symbol similar to \lozenge, but squarer (like \Diamond in some LaTeX packages, see The Comprehensive Symbol List, p. 112). Any idea how I may typeset it in ConTeXt (MKIV)? \diamond is too small. I am using TeX Gyre Pagella Math if that matters. I also have a couple of questions about \showmathfontcharacters: 1) does that list show all and only the symbols available in the current font, or a predefined list of symbols? 2) The list shows a Unicode point for each symbol, but not the corresponding TeX command (if it exists). Say I need U+02B31 (three leftwards arrows), and I don't want to bother searching TCSL above. May I use the Unicode code point to define a control sequence in ConTeXt that prints the symbol? If so, how?

Borrowing the symbol from Xits is a fine solution.

For example, the effect of putting let g:sql_type_default='pgsql' in my vimrc is that, when a sql buffer is created, Vim searches for syntax/pgsql.vim instead of the default syntax file (sqloracle.vim, I think). Note that the filetype remains 'sql'.

You can use the vim module:
https://github.com/adityam/filter/blob/master/vim-README.md
I have a relatively minor problem with linked highlight groups.
As far as I can see, the module resolves linked groups so that,
for example, if String links to Constant, then the generated code
for 'a string' will be something like \SYN[Constant]{'a string'},
rather than \SYN[String]{'a string'}. In my specific case, strings
use the sqlString group, which links by default to String, which in
turn links to Constant.
Is there a way to decouple linked highlight groups, so that, for
example, I may distinguish Constant from String? I have already
tried to put commands like
hi! clear sqlString
hi! link String NONE
etc...
in the vimrc block, to no avail.
Ok, I have found it:
hi! link sqlString NONE
With that, I get \SYN[sqlString]{'a string'}, as expected.

I have a relatively minor problem with linked highlight groups.
As far as I can see, the module resolves linked groups so that,
for example, if String links to Constant, then the generated code
for 'a string' will be something like \SYN[Constant]{'a string'},
rather than \SYN[String]{'a string'}. In my specific case, strings
use the sqlString group, which links by default to String, which in
turn links to Constant.
Is there a way to decouple linked highlight groups, so that, for
example, I may distinguish Constant from String? I have already
tried to put commands like
hi! clear sqlString
hi! link String NONE
etc...
in the vimrc block, to no avail.

You don't need scite installed so it's quite efficient as it's the method that is used, not the binary (and the context related lexers ship with the context distribution). That's clear now, thanks!

Yes it can but you have to enable your custom typeface with
\setupbodyfont which
wasn’t done in your example.
You're right, but I have done it in my original document.
Even with that, the fallback symbol does not show up:
\usemodule[vim]
\definefontfamily[slidesfont][mono][Latin Modern Mono Light]
\definefallbackfamily[slidesfont][mono][DejaVu Sans Mono][range={"0222A}]
\definevimtyping[pascal][syntax=pascal]
\setupbodyfont[slidesfont]
\starttext
\startpascal
X := Y ∪ Z;
\stoppascal
\stoptext
You have to move the fallback setting before the font where you want to
apply the fallback, i.e.
\definefallbackfamily […] […] […]
\definefontfamily […] […] […]
Great, it works!
Thanks to ConTeXt and this mailing list, I've cut down the time to
prepare a presentation dramatically, while improving its quality and
avoiding frustration (compared to LaTeX Beamer+listings).

[NTG-context] Questions about Scite lexers
I'm trying to define a custom scite lexer for a toy language I'm using. So far, I've copied a lexer from the distribution, changed its name and keywords, and it's all fine. I have a few questions, though: 1) my custom scite-context-lexer-.lua is found only if I put it in the distribution. It there a way to have it in my project's folder instead? 2) How do I customize colors? 3) Is it possible to embed TeX commands in \startscite..\stopscite environments, like /BTEX../ETEX in built-in typing? 4) Are scite lexers documented somewhere besides the source code? 5) May I rely on this feature to be stable? 6) It is my understanding that pret-xxx.lua files are obsolete. Is it correct? (If so, it would be nice to update the wiki to reflect that). To be clear, I'm not interested in using the Scite application. I just need to typeset formatted verbatim code. The vim module is fantastic and I already use it, but there are cases where I need a syntax not supported by Vim (and I'd rather avoid defining it on the Vim side) and/or need to embed TeX commands (anywhere, not only in comments).

no, they are not obsolete (the scite lexers are often also syntax
checkers so they are more strict) ... the pret files are more or less
working in the same way (they date from before scite got that kind of
lexers)
Thanks for your answers. I'd like to go with \definetyping then, because
I need /BTEX../ETEX. I have found an old document of mine, which uses a
(slightly customized) pret-c.lua, located inside the project's folder.
It compiles, but I don't get syntax highlighting. Is it because pret-c
is not searched in the project's directory? (According to
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Verbatim#Pretty_printing the file should
be found.) This is a minimal version:
\setupinteraction [state=start]
\setupcolors [state=start]
\setuptyping [option=color]
\definetyping [C][option=C, tab=4]
\definecolor [Ccomment][darkblue]
\definetyping [CPP]
[option=C,tab=2,
bodyfont=small]
\starttext
\startC
int main() { return 0; } // Comment
\stopC
\startCPP
int main() { return 0; } // Comment
\stopCPP
\stoptext

Is it because pret-c is not searched in the project's directory? Alternatively you can set the TEXMF_LOCAL environment variable to some directory where your "private" texmf-tree resides. Note that after this you have to run context --generate in order for context to find the modules in your texmf-tree. Also note that the compilation logfile written by context tells you what modules have been found in which locations. I hope this helps, Christoph Sorry, the environment variable should be named TEXMFLOCAL, without the underscore Thanks for all the suggestions. I will experiment a bit, and come back to the mailing list for further questions.

[NTG-context] Equivalent of extras option in new bibliography system?
In the past (MKII) I used citations of the form:
\cite[extras={, p.~24}][Author:2016]
The extras option seems to be ignored by MKIV's bibliography system.
What is the equivalent of the above?
