What is the meaning of \hss here? It seems to work just fine without it.

You can use Metapost.
Thanks for this solution. It, however, seems to fail with any other angle than
315° (I tested 305, 325 and 314).
Try
xyscaled(\the\struttotal,abs(sind(\MPvar{rotation}))*\the\widthofstring{\MPvar{text}});
with sind instead of sin. And maybe with abs around it, but one can
think of improvements for smaller angles. It all depends on what one

Thanks for this solution. It, however, seems to fail with any other angle than
315° (I tested 305, 325 and 314).

I guess, this one actually draws the text...

and this one calculates the faked width. Doesn't the sinus here calculate the
height of the rotated text?
Beside from using Metapost (since I currently do not understand it and would
only be able to copy paste your code), is there some kind of box construct
which artificially reduces the width of the inner content?
I would have expected something like \fakewidth[width=1cm,
align=flushright]{\rotate[rotation=-45, location=high]{A really long text, much
longer than 1cm}}.
If I see it right, such a construct would also solve the problem, while less
cleaner due to the fixed width.

[NTG-context] 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.

```
\startsetups[table:rotated]
\setupTABLE[frame=off]
\setupTABLE[row][first][bottomframe=on, style=bf, align={center, low}]
\setupTABLE[row][2][align=flushright]

\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

\bTR \bTD Amount of legs \eTD \bTD \digits{4} \eTD \bTD \digits{8} \eTD
\bTD \digits{2} \eTD \eTR

```
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.
Another question in this context: Is is possible to specify a \setupTABLE
command that works for column 2-4 starting from row 2?
Something like \setupTABLE[row][2-][column][2,3,4][background=color,
backgroundcolor=red].
In this example this would cover all numbers but nothing else.

[NTG-context] Re: (ConTeXt LMTX) How do I fix the centering and setting up width in xtables?
Felix schrieb am 01.09.2024 um 20:54:
https://pastebin.com/TQdzmxeP
I am trying to make a resume in ConTeXt (to see how well my skills have gotten,
I am still quite a beginner) and Iw as able to produce what is in Pastebin.
Your next lesson is to learn how to create a minimal example which
contains only the necessary information needed to show the problem.
Though, I am having trouble with the table that goes over the big sized text
that would be my name. It has an email, a phone number, and an address but
they are all aligned very weirdly. I want them to be centered. Though, the
phone number has some sort of problem with alignment, and I don;t know fi the
other ones are causing it or are also aligned wrong.
I also wanted to make this code:
\startxcell[topframe=on,bottomframe=on,align=flushright]
Ability to communicate strongly and effectively, being a reliable team
member, supporting a team whenever needed, and the desire to help everyone
\stopxcell
has it so that it doesn't take up so much horizontal space (Ideally it is
taking up 1/3 of the width I am allowing for since there are three rows in
total) , but when I add width={some value} into the square brackets, it will
add a blank line after all the text, and this is not what I want.
is there a way to fix what I am experiencing? I would also not mind if I could
be told how to improve my code, whether it be by adding startxrowgroup,
startxcellgroup, or head and footer sections., or other options. Thank you for
reading.
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
\starttext
% width=.33tw
\startxtable[frame=off,topframe=on,bottomframe=on,width=.33tw,align=middle]
\startxrow
\startxcell[nx=3]

[NTG-context] Two column layout with footnotes
Hello list, Is it possible to create a two-column journal layout with ConTeXt in which relatively large footnotes are always in the right column and, if the size of the footnotes exceeds a certain threshold, are distributed between the left and right columns? (comparable as shown in the attachment) As far as I understand it, there are different possibilities for column set (e.g. column set, pagecolumns), but which one would be best, if it is possible at all?

It claims to add a structure (and probably manage to pass automated tests) but all StructElem with the exception of links are role mapped to NonStruct and so are non functional. Links miss the OBJR reference. Annotations only all have as /Content a generic text (link) (which creates your hover effect).

If you do the same with a document tagged with context you only get a large blob of text A section textHeader AHeader B data Adata B https://contextgarden.net and no navigation at all. All the tagging in the file is useless, it even actually harms because it makes user believe they get an accessible PDF.

Hi Wolfgang, Thanks for the (prompt!) answer. I did not realize the wiki software did that. On reflection I suppose that is useful in many (most?) cases. But I'd argue that it is not always a good thing, such as in this case. (If nothing else, it might mislead a n00b into thinking that you should get output for text preceding \starttext.) 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? And finally, might it make sense for the wiki software to do something like this: if grep '\\starttext' >/dev/null 2>&1 then process the example from the wiki else augment the wiki example with \starttext and \stoptext process the augmented wiki example fi Cheers.

Thanks so much
but what should a person do if he wants to define an equivalent of \eTD?
for example it can be useful for RTL language
such as:
\def\پسل{\eTD}
and as you said this code will not work.
You can create your own replacement for the \bTD ... \eTD pair define a
command which is delimited by another command. To do this you have to
first create a new command like always as \def\... which takes a single
argument and at the end after the argument you another command is used
as delimiter for the argument.
The argument of your new delimited command is then passed to the normal
commands for the table cell.
begin example
\starttext
\protected\def\StartTableCell#1\StopTableCell
{\bTD#1\eTD}
% New method to create delimited arguments with #L and #R in Luametatex
%
% \protected\def\StartTableCell#L\StartTableCell#R\StopTableCell#1%
% {\bTD#1\eTD}
\bTABLE
\bTR
\StartTableCell row 1 column 1 \StopTableCell
\StartTableCell row 1 column 2 \StopTableCell
\eTR
\bTR
\StartTableCell row 2 column 1 \StopTableCell
\StartTableCell row 2 column 2 \StopTableCell

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

[NTG-context] [installation] "unzipping" gives 0K files on windows
hi! greetings of the day. - ### QoL improvements for installation * on win10 22h2 pc, i am facing problems (attached below) in installing context via [`context-win64.zip`]. * so, i had to run the install.bat again and again. * due to which the same step of "fetching 'http://lmtx.pragma-ade.com/install-lmtx//texmf.zip'" and "fetching 'http://lmtx.pragma-ade.com/install-lmtx//texmf-context.zip'" was performed repeatedly * this consumes lots of time, will & internet bandwidth & takes away the focus from other important part of installation So, 1. can `install.bat` (or whatever responsible) pick these zips from current directory if these exist there? of course, it should match their hash from the internet for verifying that these are same zips it needs. 2. rather than blindly removing the zips after (trying to) unzip, the `mtx-install.lua` should confirm if the "unzipping" hasn't resulted in these empty 0B files - as it seems some fundamental issue on windows (description & context attached below) - ### version number i understand that there's [only a 'latest' version, ... no stable release][context_history], * but still where is the version number for this latest shown on web? * i am looking for a plaintext way, i.e. which can be accessed from anywhere without any install. * so, it might be via some "Releases" section on an html webpage, or some file like xml, yml, json, etc containing release versions listing also, please don't use `:` colon or ` ` spaces in version as various package managers use version as directory names. so, my suggested one is: `2025.01.08.T1320` i.e. `.MM.dd.THHmm` i found various places which mentioned versions, but none of those mentioned "latest stable" version: * news on [main_page]: `The Wiki's ConTeXt installation is on version ConTeXt 2024.01.08 11:23 LMTX.` again, it shows the "wiki's context installation". not the release. * installation wiki: [check_installation]: `mtx-context | current version: 2024.04.01 08:59` it is aimed at illustration & outdated. no reason for it to be kept up-to-date. * [pragma-ade] shows: `2024-05-11 12:57 | 118925584` but it seems for the sources i guess? and it uses `-` dashes as date separator rather than dots at other places above. also, what does last column show with '118925584'? - ### details of the problem: * on running `context-win64/install.bat` even as admin & finishing the procedure, the `context --version` is not running. * the `texmf` directory tree matches [`texmf.zip`] (~52MB), but rather than `fonts`, `web2c` being dirs, those appear as files of 0B * similarly the `texmf-context` dir tree matches [`texmf-context.zip`] (~115MB), but again, all the `colors`, `context`, `doc`, `tex`, `web2c` are shown as 0B files rather than being dirs * also the `texmf-win64/bin/` contains a link-file (broken) of 0B with its name in chinese: `畬浡瑥瑡硥攮數` just for records: i have already enabled the developer tools on windows since a long time ago. so, creating filesystem links should work here already. here's exerpt from the `install.bat` run's console output for "unzipping": ``` mtx-install | fetching 'http://lmtx.pragma-ade.com/install-lmtx//texmf.zip' mtx-install | unzipping 'texmf.zip' 70 files of 706 done,6960406 bytes, 0.083 seconds 140 files of 706 done, 10371456 bytes, 0.151 seconds 210 files of 706 done, 14124718 bytes, 0.234 seconds 280 files of 706 done, 19504148 bytes, 0.318 seconds 350 files of 706 done, 24662280 bytes, 0.401 seconds 420 files of 706 done, 33169752 bytes, 0.484 seconds 490 files of 706 done, 40851921 bytes, 0.583 seconds 560 files of 706 done, 47678981 bytes, 0.672 seconds 630 files of 706 done, 68347030 bytes, 0.818 seconds 700 files of 706 done, 85872915 bytes, 0.943 seconds 706 files of 706 done, 86963093 bytes, 0.963 seconds mtx-install | fetching 'http://lmtx.pragma-ade.com/install-lmtx//texmf-context.zip' mtx-install | unzipping 'texmf-context.zip' 533 files of 5333 done, 88905129 bytes, 0.807 seconds 1066 files of 5333 done, 96885926 bytes, 1.333 seconds 1599 files of 5333 done, 116688474 bytes, 1.911 seconds 2132 files of 5333 done, 125260237 bytes, 2.375 seconds 2665 files of 5333 done, 142877653 bytes, 2.890 seconds 3198 files of 5333 done, 152403593 bytes, 3.375 seconds 3731 files of 5333 done, 160173210 bytes, 3.854 seconds 4264 files of 5333 done, 170072731 bytes, 4.333 seconds 4797 files of 5333 done, 176877135 bytes, 4.791 seconds 5330 files of 5333 done, 183560838 bytes, 5.270 seconds 5333 files of 5333 done, 183587012 bytes, 5.270 seconds mtx-install | installing tex/texmf-win64, 5 files mtx-install | skipping tex/texmf-win64/bin/context.exe mtx-install | ne

[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

[NTG-context] Re: Japanese
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
aligning lines to the text box: https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/#fig1_3
protrusion of ruby: https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq/#fig_ad1_6
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)).
I made manual corrections to scrp-cjk.lua, but with no effect to the ConTeXt
output of my example. Do I have to recompile ConTeXt first?

Dear all, thanks for your contributions.
Sure I'll update the
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Chinese_Japanese_and_Korean hopefully
with the help of Jeong Dal and others as soon as things are sorted out.
In attached example, the opening Brackets (I marked them with
\color[red]{【} and \color[red]{｛}) are taking the previous character
with them to the next line. Please remove these to see that the
previous character would stay on the previous line. Thanks Wolfgang
for checking wether this is a bug.
Can you stick to fonts which are available for all systems (e.g. Noto
CJK) because system fonts are a pain when you're on a different system.
The missing line break before 【 is caused by a wrong table entry in
scrp-cjk.lua and I guess the following change is necessary
local japanese_2 = {
jamo_initial = korean_break,
korean = stretch_break,
chinese = stretch_break,
hiragana = stretch_break,
katakana = stretch_break,
half_width_open = nobreak_stretch_break_autoshrink,
half_width_close = nobreak_stretch,
- full_width_open = nobreak_stretch_break_shrink,
+ full_width_open = stretch_break,
full_width_close = nobreak_stretch,
full_width_punct = japanese_before_full_width_punct, --
nobreak_stretch,
hyphen = nobreak_stretch,
non_starter = nobreak_stretch,
other = stretch_break,
}
but there can be more wrong entries.
I was not successful in figuring out how the protrusion mechanism can
be set in order to keep full stops and commas on the previous line
(protruding the column box). Could you please give me a hint,
Wolfgang? Thanks. There's a \color[red]{。} in my example which should
not jump to the next line.
Adding the first and last line to your example document worked for me.
\definefontfeature [default] [default] [protrusion=pure]
\definefontfamily [...] [...] [...]
\setupbodyfont [...]
\setupalign [hanging]
My example follows the Kihon-hanmen dimensioning as described in
https://www.w3.org/TR/jlreq . What could be the reason that lines
which could hold 25 characters are having only 24 characters, for
example lines 2, 3 or 13 in column 1? I would expect them to have 25
characters, the same as for example lines 7, 9 or 16 in column 1.
I guess the par builder is responsible for this when it arranges the
paragraph but this is just a guess.
How can I change alignment of the lines so that the highest character
boxes align with the top border of the layout boxes for text and
header and with the bottom border of the layout box for footer? I hope
that when this is achieved for the layout box for text, then this box
would hold the expected 45 lines, and not 44 lines as it is doing now.
Ruby characters in the first line should protrude the box, what they
already do.
I tried to implement the 1em hskip of the header and footer away from
the page border. While it works for left aligned headers and footers,
it doesn't for the right aligned headers and footers (negative hskip
has no effect). How to solve this problem?
Do you a proper example of the layout?
Setting a few values is not enough because TeX doesn't work the way you
need for your layout. Things can be improved but in cases like header
and footer you have to tell ConTeXt there are no characters with depth.
Also how to get rid of the first empty page?
To load a math font from a typescript you have to use the
\definetypeface command, replace the line
\definefontfamily [JapaneseFont] [mm] [math] [lucidaot] [default]
with
\definetypeface [JapaneseFont] [mm] [math] [lucidaot] [default]
and the page disappears.

Sure I'll update the https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Chinese_Japanese_and_Korean

In attached example, the opening Brackets (I marked them with \color[red]{【}

line. Please remove these to see that the previous character would stay on the
previous line. Thanks Wolfgang for checking wether this is a bug.

I'm happy to get suggestions for improving my example code. This example could
then be put to the wiki.
I try to continue to work on making ConTeXt usable for Japanese with the help
of you all. Next step might be the realm and position of headings which seem
complicated and for which I have no ideas.

Use setups, one for each of your 40 variations:
e.g:
\startsetup formatA
\setupTABLE[r][1][align=raggedleft]
\setupTABLE[c][1][width=.1\textwidth]
\stopsetup
\startsetup formatB
\setupTABLE[c][1,2,3,4,5][align=raggedleft, frame=off]
\stopsetup
\bTABLE[setups=formatA]
...
\eTABLE
\bTABLE[setups=formatB]
...

Just use a group (\start ... \stop, \bgroup ... \egroup or {} ) around
the setup commands and their table, or use \startsetup mytable ...
\stopsetup and \startTABLE[setups=mytable] if you need the same settings
for several tables.

Yes, because text in column(sets)s is typeset on a grid.
Try \showgrid to visualize.
You can try to reduce the interlinespace for your headline font size like
\setupbodyfontenvironment[16pt][interlinespace=12pt]
That will get ugly as soon as your headlines need more than one line.
Look into details.pdf for more information on working with grids.

Despite "align={left, right}", the first column is aligned to the right and the

The align option is also ignored in the case of other column numbers., for
example:

\NC This single column should \NR
\NC be left-aligned, \NR
\NC but it is centered. \NR

What am I missing here? Where is my mistake?

[NTG-context] Markdown to HTML cross-references
Hi list,
I'm looking to implement a consistent syntax for cross-references in
KeenWrite <https://keenwrite.com/> and am wondering what you think would
make the most sense for translating into ConTeXt commands.
First, some background (the first two give an overview, the others are
cross-reference references for various syntaxes):
- https://talk.commonmark.org/t/cross-references-and-citations/4013/7
- https://thesynack.com/posts/markdown-captions
- https://quarto.org/docs/authoring/cross-references.html
- https://mystmd.org/guide/cross-references
- https://lierdakil.github.io/pandoc-crossref
- https://github.com/tomduck/pandoc-eqnos
I'm leaning towards the following syntax:
Markdown Item (table, blockquote, TeX block, figure, code, R chunk, etc.)
: caption text {#type:label}
See [@type:label] for details.
There's a unit test that shows what's currently being generated with a
number of examples for images, tables, blockquotes, internationalization,
and so on:
https://gitlab.com/DaveJarvis/KeenWrite/-/blob/main/src/test/java/com/keenwrite/processors/markdown/extensions/references/CrossReferencesExtensionTest.java#L51
The code is a work-in-progress; so the tests may have changed depending on
if/when you view the Java source code. Presently, the captions produce
anchor references, mostly. The following seems easier to typeset using
ConTeXt:
Meschiya Lake - Lucky Devil
This diverges from the HTML specification for tables (table/caption) and
figures (figure/figcaption). It would also mean having to write ConTeXt
macros that flip the spans and anchors to produce a caption such as:
*Lyrics 1.1.* Meschiya Lake - Lucky Devil
While there are plenty of ways of presenting captions (e.g., multi-column
images with sub-figure numbers) the majority of cross-references are to a
single "thing" with a single "caption".
What are your thoughts on this proposal? (Keeping in mind I'm the only
person working on KeenWrite and while I'm trying to keep the syntax
compatible with pandoc, implementing the full pandoc-crossref syntax is out
of scope for me.
Thank you!

Thank you for pointing this out. For now, I shall refrain from
upgrading, since this is a backwards incompatible change that affects
many files. Eventually, I'll make the required changes.

Dear Friends,
I am a regular user of ConTeXt. A recent upgrade of ConTeXt in Debian
broke things for me. The bug report is here:
https://bugs.debian.org/1055233
but I have reproduced the gist here:
Upon upgrading to ConTeXt 2023.05.05.20230730+dfsg-2, several math
features seem to break for me. Here is an example:
\starttext
Hello world!
\startformula
X(f) = \startcases[align={right,left},distance=3pt]
\NC T, \NC{} $|f| < \frac{1}{2T}$ \NR
\NC 0, \NC{} $|f| \geq \frac{1}{2T}$ \NR
\stopcases
\stopformula
\stoptext
There has been changes in the math alignment mechanism a while ago and
the cases
environment use math mode for a column entry when you use the \NC tag at
the begin
of a cell, to make your example working again remove the $ in the column.
\starttext
\startformula
X(f) =
\startcases
\NC T, \NC |f| < \frac{1}{2T} \NR
\NC 0, \NC |f| \geq \frac{1}{2T} \NR
\stopcases
\stopformula
\stoptext
To typeset the content of a column as text replace \NC with \TC at the
begin of the cell.

[NTG-context] Footnotes on the bottom of the column's current page, instead of the columns' end

[NTG-context] Problems with line numbered program listings
I'm trying to typeset some program listings with annotations alongside. I've
tried both columns and tabulate but both have (different) issues:
1) Plain \typefile won't allow the line numbers to be in the text - they stay
in the margin whch I don't want.
2) \typefile using a \definedtyping name does work and works in \columns as
well. This is great until my listing is too long to fit on a page and then I'd
rather have the column continue onto the next page but \columns balances of
course.
3) \tabulate allows a single cell to continue down over the page exactly as I'd
like, but the line numbers disappear altogether. (And it has to be a single
cell because the program listings are in source files that I want to include
using \typefile rather than re-enter to avoid typos.)
You can see each of these effects with the following MWE which first needs a
file called "three_lines.txt" to be created in the local directory containing
the lines:
one
two
three
begin
\setuplinenumbering[location=text,style=\small\tt]
\starttext
Location=text not working in main body
\typefile[numbering=line]{three_lines.txt}
But it does work if a custom typing environment is created.
\definetyping[MyTyping][style=\tt]
\typefile[MyTyping][numbering=line]{three_lines.txt}
Still works if used in a column
\startcolumns
\typefile[MyTyping][numbering=line]{three_lines.txt}
\column
:-)
\stopcolumns
\blank
But doesn't work if used in tabulate
\starttabulate[|p|p|]
\NC
\typefile[MyTyping][numbering=line]{three_lines.txt}
\NC
No line numbers at all :-(
\NR
\stoptabulate
\stoptext
end
What I'd most like is for tabulate to allow \typefile with line numbers if at
all possible.

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.

Hi Fabrice,
As Wolfgang points out, it is indeed possible to fill-in your table
with Lua: maybe you were wondering how to fill the columns 2, 3 and 4.
In this case you need to use the Lua function math.mod as in the

context.startxcell{ width = "1cm" }
context.im("a^2")

context.startxcell{ width = "1cm" }
context.im("2b^2")

context.startxrow()
for j = 1,4 do
context.startxcell()
if j == 1 then
context(i)
elseif j == 2 then
context(math.mod(i*i,10))
elseif j == 3 then
context(i)
else
context(math.mod(2*i*i,10))
end
context.stopxcell()
end
context.stopxrow()
end
I would drop the column check in this case.
for i = 0,9 do
context.startxrow()

[NTG-context] new upload
Hi,
I uploaded a new lmtx (some new - experimental - things will be
explained after the ctx meeting), but there's one thing that is somewhat
important.
In addition to the built in units we can now have so called user units.
There is some more info about this in the lowlevel-registers manual. One
of the predefined units is 'uu' with an associated \ununit (dimension)
variable and it's is also interfaced to metafun. That means that when
you use uu in metapost graphics you have to make sure that you save the
meaning and/or numeric uu now.
The idea is that just as in mp one can say 20xx with xx being a (sort
of) unit, one can do the same in tex. Think of
\newdimension \MyUnitA \MyUnitA 1.23pt
\pushoverloadmode % just in case
\newuserunit\MyUnitA ua % binds the unit to the variable
\popoverloadmode
x\hskip 10ua\relax x
The units starting with 'u' are considered user units but be carefulk
with other combinations as we have (and will have more) built into
context ones, like
pi : pi for Mikael
ft : foot for Alan
fs : (global body) font size
tw : (layout) text width
th : (layout) text height
hs : (current) hsize
vs : (current) vsize
cd : (when set) column distance
cw : (when set) column width
cx : combination cell width
uu : user unit (\METAFUN)
So Mikael can now have
test \hskip 3pi\relax test
and Alan can have
\setuplayout
[width=1ft]
to be consistent with inches.
The reason why we have this mechanism is that it provides a level of
abstraction. It might evolve over time but don't expect the 600+ units
possible to show up because one needs sensible shortcuts. Already built
in unit always win and you cna only bind to already defined quantities.
Here's one for those who want to go beyond the normal:
\newdimension \FooA \FooA 1.23pt
\newdimen \FooB \FooB 12.3pt
\protected\def\FooC {\the\dimexpr\FooA +\FooB\relax}
So you can now figure how 'cx' is defined in a dynamic way.

[NTG-context] Parallel columns using start/stop setups
Two concurrent situations can happen, which I'd like to typeset as two
parallel columns while keeping the overall page layout (i.e., headers,
footers, margins, and such).
current version: 2023.07.18 22:07
I'd like to find a way to set up start/stop environments, if possible, to
come up with a general-purpose solution (i.e., the prose itself is not
changed).
Here are a few examples. In the first, a "concurrent" environment is
created with two "timelines":
% SOT
\definestartstop[concurrent][
before={\startcolumns[n=2, align={verytolerant,stretch}, separator=rule]},
after=\stopcolumns,
]
\definestartstop[timelinea][
after=\column,
]
\definestartstop[timelineb][]
\starttext
\startconcurrent
\starttimelinea
\dorecurse{5}{\input ward}
\stoptimelinea
\starttimelineb
\dorecurse{5}{\input knuth}
\stoptimelineb
\stopconcurrent
\stoptext
% EOT
The ward and knuth texts end up in the same column because one is shorter
than the other. Here's another attempt:
% SOT
\defineparagraphs[concurrent][n=2]
\definestartstop[timelinea][
before=\concurrent,
after=\concurrent,
]
\definestartstop[timelineb][
before=\concurrent,
]
\starttext
\startconcurrent
\starttimelinea
\dorecurse{5}{\input ward}
\stoptimelinea
\starttimelineb
\dorecurse{5}{\input knuth}
\stoptimelineb
\stopconcurrent
\stoptext
% EOT
This loses much of the input text.
Can this be accomplished using LMTX and what would be the best approach?
Would this setupparagraphs, definecolumnset, synchronizestreams, or
possibly incomplete/experimental functionality?
Thank you!

Re: [NTG-context] Tabulate: Change cell orienation for individual cells?
Ok, if you use p for the column definition you can just use \setupalign on
individual cells...

\starttext
\starttabulate[|pA{verytolerant,extremestretch}|pA{verytolerant,extremestretch}|]
\NC Heading flushleft \NC \setupalign[flushright] Heading flushright \NC \NR
\NC \input ward \NC \input ward \NC \NR
\stoptabulate
\stoptext

If you enable \setuplayout[grid=yes], lines get placed correctly.
Also floats work well (here and top).
But some columnsetspans still disappear, and footnotes get overwritten.

Re: [NTG-context] Two columns of footnotes
Denis:
Thanks, that is very helpful starting point which proves that it is
possible!
I have tried the suggestions there, but, so far:
* I cannot adjust the gap ("distance" or "gutter") between the columns
* It seems impossible to turn-on a column-separating ruled line
* It would be useful to have a method for controlling orphan / widow
behaviour (such that a footnote in the left column doesn't spill-over as
just a single line into the 2nd column).
Any comments or ideas?

[NTG-context] https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Enumerations problem
In https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Enumerations there is this example:
%
\setupwhitespace[big]
\definesymbol[1][$\triangleright$]
\startcolumns
{\bf joinedup:}\par before \startitemize[joinedup]
\item test \item test \stopitemize after \par
{\bf nowhite:} \par before \startitemize[nowhite]
\item test \item test \stopitemize after \par
{\bf joinedup,nowhite:}\par before \startitemize[joinedup,nowhite]
\item test \item test \stopitemize after \column
{\bf joinedup,nowhite,before:} \par before
\startitemize[joinedup,nowhite,before] \item test \item test \stopitemize after
\par
{\bf joinedup,nowhite,after:} \par before
\startitemize[joinedup,nowhite,after] \item test \item test \stopitemize after
\stopcolumns
%
In my test "joinedup" leaves whitespace before the first list item and
after the last, but in the sample output there is no space.
While someone (?) is thinking about that, my (extremely rudimentary!) tests
also indicate that there is no need to use "joinedup" when you use "nowhite".
Is this indeed the case (in which case the wiki page could use an edit) or
are there case where both "joinedup" and "nowhite" are needed together (in
which case the wiki page could stand a little more information).
Thanks.

My suggestion would be to have: - \setupTABLE[r][head][...] affect just the header - \setupTABLE[r][next][...] affect the new page header - \setupTABLE[r][first|last|body][...] affect the first, or last, or only the body rows (i.e. not the header or footer) - \setupTABLE[r][foot][...] affect just the footer [r][last] (and [r][-1]) would represent the last body row (but not the footer row if one has been requested). I agree. ## Formatting * maxwidth doesn’t seem to have an effect, neither on the whole table nor on a column. * textwidth works only for the whole table. * width gets stretched if option=stretch; i.e. I can’t fix the width of single cells or columns. For me, \setupTABLE [c] [1] [width=3cm] fixes the width of column 1 and forces long text to wrap. But the width of a column is not fixed if you set option=stretch, then *all* columns are stretched, not only the undefined.

If you disregard the Wiki page instructions to use \bTH...\eTH then you can format the header using: \bTABLEhead \bTR \bTH Column 1 \eTH \bTD[color=blue] Column 2 \eTD \eTR \eTABLEhead but I'm not sure what the consequences might be, if any.

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

\setupTABLE[row] [first] [topframe=on,bottomframe=on,style=bold]

[NTG-context] natural table oddities
Working on the documentation for “natural tables” I stumbled upon a few oddities/problems. I’d like to know if there are misunderstandings on my part or if the behavior is intentional. BTW enattab.pdf is missing in the LMTX distribution. ## Options * before/after/inbetween values don’t appear anywhere. * spaceinbetween should insert between rows, but nothing happens. * splitoffset doesn’t seem to change anything. * What’s samepage for? ## Addressing cells * It’s not possible to address single cells with \setupTABLE, or is it? * There’s \setupTABLE[header], but not "footer" (or "section"); since we have TABLEhead and TABLEfoot, IMO "head" and "foot" would make sense. * Row 1 is the first row of TABLEbody. I couldn’t find how to address the first line of TABLEbody. * Is it possible, and how, to use odd/even only for the body? * If I format a column, e.g. \setupTABLE[c][-1][color=red], body and foot are formatted, but not the same column in header. (I found out, if I use TD instead of TH in the header, it works.) * I don’t understand the addressing options "start" and "one". ## Formatting * maxwidth doesn’t seem to have an effect, neither on the whole table nor on a column. * textwidth works only for the whole table. * width gets stretched if option=stretch; i.e. you can’t fix the width of single cells or columns. ## Page breaking * What’s the difference between [split=repeat] and [split=yes,header=repeat], i.e. which sense makes the header option)? * Is there an option to repeat the footer (as the last line of each page)? (I’d imagine to use it in an invoice or similar calculation for a subtotal – that would imply some more magic…) Hraban ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / https://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : https://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : https://contextgarden.net ___
Re: [NTG-context] \setupparagraphs - can they run over two pages?
Yes, tabulate is a solution, though as I have just described for Denis who also responded to this issue, by some careful manipulation (which was possible for the circumstance I was dealing with) I simply noted where the page break occurred and started a new set of paragraphs after that. That was satisfactory in this case. Tabulate might have to be the solution for a different set of circumstances.

You can right align all columns, though I am not sure that this looks better,
because column 2 and 3 now appear to be "too close".

[NTG-context] Unexpected results with \xmlpos
Hi,
I'm getting unexpected results for \xmlpos
With the example below, I was expecting to get the following positions:
1 2 3 4
However the result is: 2 4 6 8, i.e. each time it's exactly the double.
What am I missing?
Background: I need to define column alignment based on the value of the
element inside the colgroup, so I was thinking about something like this :
\xmlmapvalue{colstyle}{dir: rtl}{align=righttolef }
\xmlmapvalue{colstyle}{dir: ltr}{align=lefttoright}

Re: [NTG-context] autospacing and colonequals (was Lucida-1.901 (2023-01-21) available)
Hi Hans and Mikael,
Thank you both for your attention to my reply and the clarification and hints
regarding the comman \colonequals and
\setupmathematics[autospacing=yes]
Indeed the command \colonequals give the precise expected alignment for the
combination glyph « := ». Befors changing the combination « := » to
\columnequals in my documents, I am wondering whether one could add a small lua
code in order to make an automatic replacement at run time. Actually, since I
don’t know of any other instance in which the combination « := » is used to
mean something else, would it not be reasonnable to make « := » synonym to
\colonequals?
I played a little bit with
\setupmathematics[autospacing=yes]
and it seems to me that without this command one gets automatic spacing in math
mode, while with the above command the spacing obeys what has been inserted in
the source. Is this behaviour intended, or is there a mismatch between
\setupmathematics[autospacing=yes]
and
\setupmathematics[autospacing=no]

Hi,
Thanks Hraban for the information and the link to the article by Hans and
Mikael about the math fonts in Lucida.
I very much appreciated that article: one sees how the handling of almost
impercebtile details in ConTeXt make us to adhere to and love LuaMetaTeX… So a
great thank you to Hans and Mikael for all this work!
Regarding the details of vertical alignment in math, I wonder whether the
column « : » in front of the equal sign « = », in the combination « := » (used
to define for instance a new variable) should be alos centered around the math
axis, as explained in the article. For instance in the following example
\setupbodyfont[lucidaot,12pt]
\starttext
\startformula
f(x) := -(u|x) := - \langle u, x \rangle
\stopformula
\stopformula
\startformula
f : A \longrightarrow B
\stopformula
\stoptext
it seems to me that the lower dot (or square…) in the semicolumn of the first
formula (in front of the equal sign) is lower than in the second formula.
Best regards: Otared
Thank you for the kind words, Otared,
Regarding the colons (and other symbols with "dots"), I would say it
is still not optimal in Lucida (and difficult to make it "consistent",
there are too many symbols that are at the moment different). But in
your example you can use \colonequals and \colon if you prefer. They
are centered around the math axis.
Best, Mikael
\setupbodyfont[lucidaot,12pt]
\starttext
\startformula
f(x) := -(u|x) \colonequals - \langle u, x \rangle
\stopformula
\startformula
f : A \longrightarrow B \breakhere
f \colon A \longrightarrow B
\stopformula
\startformula
\mathaxisbelow := \colonequals : \colon
\stopformula
\stoptext
There is a (experimental as we played with it and then got distracted)
feature that makes some symbols adapt to spacing in the input.
\starttext
\setupmathematics[autospacing=yes]
\setupmathematics[collapsing=2]
\im{A:B} and \im{A : B}\par
\im{A:=B} and \im{A := B}\par
\im{A\colonequals B} and \im{A {\colonequals} B}\par
\stoptext
the second line is not yet ok as collapsing the := (old feature) comes
at the wrong time when we do autospacing (something Mikasl and I now
need to discuss and test)
This autospacing is part of some larger effort, for instance we can also
auto handle fences and so. All this relates to minimizing the input and
make it a bit more natural. Think (1,2) vb (1, 2) where we - due to the
many more classes that we have - want spacing to be right.
All will be revealed in the upcoming releases and the upcoming 3145 page
math manual.

[NTG-context] A new version of the PocketDiary module and a collection of examples for creating calenders
Hi everybody, I uploaded a new version of the PocketDiary module to the ConTeXt garden. The version 2.2 is providing the calendar functionality as it is presented in PocketMods (https://pocketmod.com/). It includes day, week, month and year tables. There are two variations of the outcome. The first is that the module creates a week calendar with eahc working day on one page and the weekend on one page. The other version allows to setup an individual setup of the pages. This module also comes with a couple of templates for general information keeping. The new version includes also sun and moon data calculations. The latest version now calculates the Daylight Saving Time automatically for America and Europe or none if desired. Next to this I uploaded a collection of calendars based on the PocketDiary module’s machinery. These calendars are typeset either as A6 or A5 sized pages printed on A4 paper and impositioned for making books.. There is also a photo-calender on A4 paper. Calendar types included are: year calendar with 1 day per page, year calendar with 1 week on two facing pages, a menu calendar and a sun and moon data calendar. Also included in this collection is a so called date-driven list generator. This allows to produce lists with any kind of date interval in days for any duration. It allows to adjust the number of columns in the list as well as changing the column heads to the requirements of the list. I hope that some of you might find this helpful.

[NTG-context] Formula has excess vertical spacing when in two column itemize
Hi List,
I am getting better at adjusting the space in enumerations, but I just put a
formula inside an enumeration, and the formula’s vertical spacing became
excessive. I’m not sure how the enumeration caused this problem.
\starttext
Evaluate the following derivatives.
\startitemize[n, columns, two, nowhite, after]
\item\hspace[big] $\frac{d}{dx} x^2$
This is where the solution should be. Text answers look fine, but formulas have
too much space above, below and between lines\dots.
\item\hspace[big] $\frac{d}{dx}\left( x^3 + 2x \right)$
\item\hspace[big] $\frac{d}{dx}\left( x^{-2} \right)$
\item\hspace[big] $\frac{d}{dt}\left( 4t^4 - 3t^{\onehalf} \right) $
\item\hspace[big] $\frac{d}{dt}( 9 - 3t )$
\startformula\startmathalignment
\NC \frac{d}{dt}( 9 - 3t ) \NC= \frac{d}{dt} 9 - \frac{d}{dt} 3t \NR
\NC \NC= 0 - 3\frac{d}{dt} t \NR
\NC \NC= -3\cdot 1t^0 \NR
\NC \NC= -3 \NR
\stopmathalignment\stopformula
\item\hspace[big] $\frac{d}{dp}\left( p^3 - 2p \right)$
\stopitemize
\stoptext
I’m also attaching a file with the above issue followed by the correct spacing
in one-column for comparison.
I’m using LMTX (today’s upload, ver: 2022.10.21 21:13 LMTX fmt: 2022.10.21) on
an M1 Mac.
Any ideas?

Re: [NTG-context] Floating Figure in framed-environment
Dear Uschi
Thanks for the example. But unfortunately it behaves similiar. As soon as I
want to place the figure to the right by using \placefigure
[right]… with floating text to the left. The framed environment behaves
strange, i.e. it seems to ignore the image.
Just using a centered image works perfectly. I included everything in this
code, to show exactly, what is not working.
\starttext
\framed[corner=round, rulethickness=2pt, width=\textwidth, align=flushleft,
offset=1em,background=color,framecolor=black]
{{\bf Box with centered image} \blank[medium]
\input khatt-en
\placefigure[none]{This is an example of a logo.}{\externalfigure[dummy]}
}
\blank[2cm]
\framed[corner=round, rulethickness=2pt, width=\textwidth, align=flushleft,
offset=1em,background=color,framecolor=black]
{{\bf Faulty box with floating text, image to the right} \blank[medium]
\placefigure[right, none]{This is an example of a logo.}{\externalfigure[dummy]}
\input khatt-en
}
\blank[2cm]
{\bf Floating text with image to the right, without box} \blank[medium]
\placefigure[right, none]{This is an example of a logo.}{\externalfigure[dummy]}

The Earth, as a habitat for animal life, is in old age and has a fatal

[NTG-context] \startcolumnset ... \stopcolumnset is working.
Dear all,
I didn’t test “\startcolumnset … \stopcolumnset” for some time, because I got
error whenever I tested it under Mac OS Big Sur.
However, two days ago, I tested it, and found that it was working.
I install updated version today and run a test file again.
Finally, I get an output without error!
I don't know what is happened, but it is a good news.
Here is a sample file which I simplified one that is given by one of the
experts.
Someone may modify it better.

Ok, I've had a chance to look into this. Maybe I'm missing something, but
paragraphs cannot be split across pages. Is that correct? That's a bit of a
problem.
As for columnsets, they seem to change the output routine for the entire page.
Also not ideal in this case.

Re: [NTG-context] Parallel texts: verse with blanks between stanzas via tabulate
Thanks. I'll try that. But, iirc, these had some other drawbacks I'll check
if it works for my use case.
Is there a way to have blanks in the tabulate?

How about columnsets or paragraphs?
\definecolumnset[Zwei][n=2]
\startcolumnset[Zwei]
\startlines
Starlight, star bright,
first star I see tonight;
\stoplines
\column
\startlines
I wish I may, I wish I might
have the wish I wish tonight.
\stoplines
\stopcolumnset
\defineparagraphs[Zwei][n=2]
\setupparagraphs[Zwei][1][
width=.45\textwidth, distance=2em,
align={verytolerant,stretch}]
% width of 2nd column is calculated automatically
\startZwei
...
\nextZwei
...
\stopZwei

Hi,
I need to typeset two poems side by side. Usually, I use the tabulate

not quite work as tabulate does not seem to allow blanks between the

Re: [NTG-context] Keep the right margin in [nothyphenated, flushleft] columns
Thank you, Denis. \setupalign[nothyphenated,flushleft,stretch] fixes the problem of overfull lines.
