I just stumpled upon this:

"Print edition

With the help of ConTeXt a print edition is automatically generated as a
PDF from the TEI XML document. Each TEI element is given a specific
formatting command through a configuration file. In this way the
different apparatuses appear as footnotes that refer to the main text
with the help of line numbers and lemmata. The print edition can also
provide the suitable index for each transcription and solves any
occurring cross references between manuscripts."


Thanks for posting this. At some point, as the Arabic system matures, I  
may need this kind of workflow. Will study this example soon.


Best wishes

Thank you, Wolfgang! I'll wait for the next beta (and hope that the 
problem with xml entities will disappear too).

If I recapitulate it, it is apparent regression as it worked in 0.79.

That error can be eliminated using a user defined command instead, but that
command doesn't seem to be executed as it doesn't produce desired effect.

\define[1]\ChapterListNumbercommand{\simplealignedbox{\listparameter{width}}
{flushright}{#1}}
...
numbercommand=\ChapterListNumbercommand,
...


Any idea how to fix this? Is that complex numbercommand unsupported any more
and should be replaced with something else? Or should I report it somewhere
and hope for fixing it?

It is not urgent now, I just want to avoid any potential problems introduced
with new tokenizer in place... (boundary conditions).

Thanks, Jan

[NTG-context] markings and syncing

[Thomas A. Schmitz]

Hi,

I'm trying to set up a header: if a page contains only one marking, it 
should display this, if it has more than one, display the first and 
last. Here's what I tried, unsuccessfully:


\definemarking [test]

\startsetups [test header]
\doifelse {\expanded{\getmarking[test][top]}} 
{\expanded{\getmarking[test][bottom]}}

{\getmarking[test][top]}
{\getmarking[test][top] and \getmarking[test][bottom]}
\stopsetups

\setupheadertexts [\setups{test header}]

\starttext

\marking[test] {One}

\input knuth

\marking [test] {Two}

\page

\marking [test] {Three}

\input tufte

\stoptext

How can I make the \doifelse work? I'm not sure I understand the 
keywords top/bottom, first/last, and previous/next.

I also note that the method=font option for \setupdelimited text appears 
to be incompatible with the left option for \startquotation. The 
document compiles, but [left] appears as part of the text and is not 
acted on (and similarly for right and middle).

[NTG-context] Problem with setuptagging and ebgaramond font, also hsize question

[Rik Kabel]

With the following example, there are no hyphens where words are broken 
across lines. When the \setuptagging line is removed, or the state 
changed to stop, hyphens appear as expected. So far I have only seen 
this with the ebgaramond font using a current standalone beta (ConTeXt  
ver: 2015.10.09 21:28 MKIV beta  fmt: 2015.10.21) running on Windows 10 
Pro x64.


With TL15 ConTeXt ver: 2015.05.18 12:26 MKIV current fmt: 2015.10.10 
int: english/english hyphens are printed with or without 
\setuptagging[state=start].


I also notice that the \hsize directive is ignored after the 4th 
iteration of zapf. That is, the first four paragraphs are constrained to 
the specifice hsize, and the remaining iterations are set at the full 
textwidth. This occurs with all fonts and without regard to the tagging 
setup. That is, remove the first two lines of the example and that 
problem persists.


   \setuptagging[state=start]
   \setupbodyfont[ebgaramond]
   \starttext
   \hsize7cm
   \input zapf \par
   \input zapf \par
   \input zapf \par
   \input zapf \par
   \input zapf \par
   \input zapf \par
   \stoptext

What am I doing wrong?

You have to use the \fetchmark command (which is currently broken but I 
sent a fix to the dev list)

to check the content of both marks because \getmarking isn’t expandable.

\startsetups [test header]
\doifelse{\fetchmark[test][top]}{\fetchmark[test][bottom]}
{\getmarking[test][top]}
{\getmarking[test][top] and \getmarking[test][bottom]}
\stopsetups
