[NTG-context] Becoming a TeX/ConTeXt poweruser

[Jamie Macbeth]

Hello,

I was fed up with LaTeX, and became a newbie user of ConTeXt, and I think it's 
great and I really agree with the philosophy.

However, I also have to agree with some of what has been said about the lack of 
good documentation for those learning ConTeXt.  I've built a couple of simple 
documents using ConTeXt, but I'm having trouble customizing to get some 
functionality that I used to get from LaTeX packages, and to customize things 
to fix issues that I had with LaTeX.  I typeset technical papers and books with 
complex diagrams (e.g. xypic), charts and tables, tables embedded in tables, 
images inside tables, among other things.  I'm hoping to become a poweruser of 
TeX through ConTeXt and LuaTeX.

>From what I've read on this list so far, knowledgeable members of the 
>community say that the key functionality to ConTeXt is in the "core".  I would

I'm an experienced software engineer with some knowledge of TeX (on the level 
of Knuth's "The TeXbook") and I'm happy to learn Lua.  I want to actually read 
and understand the mkiv core source code and, just to start, understand how 
simple directives (for example \startitemize ... \stopitemize), are compiled 
from end to end and where their macro source code comes from (In this example I 
think it's in tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/typo-itm.mkiv but I'm not 
positive).

I know that \startitemize ...\stopitemize is very customizable, but I would 
like to learn ConTeXt by learning how I could, for example, build the itemize 
environment myself from scratch.  Can someone give me pointers on the best 
place to start?  Then I can learn the code on my own (and not be a pest on this 
list :) ).

Re: [NTG-context] mathsf / mathversions in context

Wolfgang Schuster írta:


I would like to set up Tex Gyre Adventor sans serif
font as my math font (even if it doesn't havemath symbols). I have
two questions related to this problem.

1. In latex I can specify
math font versions, define a specific font as math serif / normal,
another as mathsans serif etc.
(http://milde.users.sourceforge.net/LUCR/Math/math-font-selection.xhtml).
Is this possiblein context, and if yes, how?

ConTeXt doesn’t use the same style switches as LaTeX.


Thanks. Is there a way to change font family locally in math mode?
For example how can I use serif if sans serif is the default math font?
It depends what you want to achieve, for string you can use \text{...} 
which uses the text font.

3. You can use the font fallback mechanism to replace certain character
in the math font with characters from a text font.

\definefontfamily [mathfont] [rm] [Tex Gyre Bonum]
\definefallbackfamily [mathfont] [mm] [Tex Gyre Adventor]
[preset=math:lowercaseitalic]
\definefallbackfamily [mathfont] [mm] [Tex Gyre Adventor]
[tf=style:italic,range=0x068,offset=0x0210E]% Planck constant
\definefontfamily [mathfont] [mm] [Tex Gyre Pagella Math]

\setupbodyfont[mathfont,10pt]



I played a lot with these setups and have questions.
I use this font setting:

\definefontfamily [docuf] [rm] [TeX Gyre Bonum]
\definefontfamily [docuf] [ss] [TeX Gyre Adventor]
\definefontfamily [docuf] [tt] [Latin Modern Mono] [features=none]

\definefallbackfamily [docuf] [mm] [Tex Gyre Adventor] 
[preset=math:uppercasenormal]%,scale=.6]
\definefallbackfamily [docuf] [mm] [Tex Gyre Adventor] 
[preset=math:uppercasebold]%,scale=.6]
\definefallbackfamily [docuf] [mm] [Tex Gyre Adventor] 
[preset=math:uppercaseitalic]%,scale=.6]
\definefallbackfamily [docuf] [mm] [Tex Gyre Adventor] 
[preset=math:uppercasebolditalic]%,scale=.6]

\definefallbackfamily [docuf] [mm] [Tex Gyre Adventor] 
[preset=math:lowercasenormal]%,scale=.6]
\definefallbackfamily [docuf] [mm] [Tex Gyre Adventor] 
[preset=math:lowercasebold]%,scale=.6]
\definefallbackfamily [docuf] [mm] [Tex Gyre Adventor] 
[preset=math:lowercaseitalic]%,scale=.6]
\definefallbackfamily [docuf] [mm] [Tex Gyre Adventor] 
[preset=math:lowercasebolditalic]%,scale=.6]

\definefallbackfamily [docuf] [mm] [Tex Gyre Adventor] 
[preset=math:digitsnormal]%,scale=.6]
\definefallbackfamily [docuf] [mm] [Tex Gyre Adventor] 
[preset=math:digitsbold]%,scale=.6]
\definefallbackfamily [docuf] [mm] [Tex Gyre Adventor] 
[preset=math:digitsitalic]%,scale=.6]
\definefallbackfamily [docuf] [mm] [Tex Gyre Adventor] 
[preset=math:digitsbolditalic]%,scale=.6]

\definefontfamily [docuf] [mm] [TeX Gyre Pagella Math]

\setupbodyfont[docuf,24pt]

1. If I want to use a scale factor is it possible the give the scale factor by 
using
the preset a,b,c,d,x,xx values? Or I must specify the scale factors as numbers?

Only numbers are possible.

2. Scaling occurs compared to which font in the definition list?

3. I found that if I write \definefontfamily [docuf] [mm] [TeX Gyre Pagella 
Math]
before \definefallbackfamily lines, the latter have no effect. Is this normal?
Shouldn't the order of definition lines be indifferent?
The fallbackfamily settings are applied to a typeface and the 
\definefontfamily commands creates
the typeface, without \definefontfamily the fallbacks are never used 
because there is no font which

can use the settings.

4. If I write a paragraph with different font size, how can I scale the 
embedded math
too automatically? For example if I write

\placefigure[here]{Figure title}{\ss\tfxx
A B C D \math{E~F~G~}}

A B C D is typeset with small fonts but E F G not; it will be huge compared to
A B C D. I can't manually scale the math part because it is inserted here
by chemfig module and I can't redefine how it typesets fonts.
The x and xx perform not the same scaling as a, b etc. but you can 
define your

own sizes which behave the same way as a etc.

\definefontsize[m]
\definefontsize[n]

\definebodyfontenvironment[default][m=0.8,n=0.9]

\starttext

{\tfm This paragraph contains text and $math$.}

{\tfn This paragraph contains text and $math$.}

This paragraph contains text and $math$.

{\tfa This paragraph contains text and $math$.}

{\tfb This paragraph contains text and $math$.}

\stoptext

That worked, is a bit twisted in comparison with the wiki example:

Dear list,

I have the following sample:

As suggested by Wolfgang, \definebodyfont should work. It worked then
(https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2016/085260.html), but it
doesn’t work with latest beta from 2016.10.14 17:19.

Could you confirm whether it is a bug or I am missing something?

You have to put the command in the buffer because \typesetbuffer saves
the content in a external file and which is then processed as separate
document which doesn’t use settings from the main document.

Otoh, it’s interesting to note that in my static-site-generator which
uses Go’s Blackfriday markdown processor which does support some

It worked for me, here was my source:

things mean more. As I said, the printed word, says so much. 
\footnote {As opposed to sad songs.
\note [footej]}

\footnotetext [footdes] {Elton John, and probably Bernie Taupin, are credited

 \footnotetext [footdesmore] {This song was also used as a commercial...  so 
much for artistic integrity.

Re: [NTG-context] Footnotes in footnotes

[Otared Kavian]

Hi Jose Luis,

Indeed the example you sent does not work as expected, but as far as I remember 
for nested footnotes one can use the following construction (I found this 
exmaple in my archives…):

 begin nested-footnotes.tex
\starttext

This\footnote{Or that\note[footB], if you prefer.}%
\footnotetext[footB]{Or possibly even the other\note[footC].}%
\footnotetext[footC]{It could be something entirely different.}
is a sentence with nested footnotes.

\stoptext
 end nested-footnotes.tex

Best regards: OK

Forgot to ask, whether for those products that require pdf and html, do

If the answer is ’context’, I’d like to know more aobut since it would

Yeah, I kmow about using e.g. AsciiDoc(tor)’s docbook5 backend to export
to DocBook which can be used as input format in Pandoc, but the problem
is if I would liek to e.g. use Pandoc to create e.g. reveal.js
presentation, then AsciiDoc input is of no help, since one can only do:

I also believe the same, although, interestingly,
footnotes-withing-footnote does not work with MkIV. :-)

While Pandoc does NOT input asciidoc, i use Asciidoc FX, as a previewer, and it 
also exports out to html, pdf, and i think you can get it to export to DocBook.

With DocBook, or html, you could take those into Pandoc and out to whatever you 
want. Kind of an extra step. But as i use Asciidoc FX all the time anyway, not 
that big of an extra step.

Yes, or, as i said above, use Asciidoc and Asciidoc FX, and then convert that 
to html, and then take that to Pandoc.

While testing/evaluating different options/markups, the topic of using
“footnote within footnote” has appeared and I’ve tried to test it in the

But that’s more like helpers, right?

Still, wonder how portable is that in different PDF viewers?

It seems that some thing are more clear now…

I do not (atm) have need for complex tables. Moreover, I’ve learnt that
atm. Asciidoc is not supported input format for creating presentations
with Pandoc…

…which practically means that I can just use markdown for my ligth
writing (web stuff, small online articles etc.) and use ConTeXt for
everything else where quality is required.

Of course, there is also possibility to just use

markdown --> Pandoc --> reveal.js

which can look as low-hanging fruit, but, based on my observation,
everything around Javascript stuff is almost always hyped and
short-lived, iow. today reveal.js is “in”, but that can quickly change
tomorrow.

Otoh, learning ConTeXt is going to be useful not only for presentations,
but only for real book project which might arrive in the future…

Gour

[NTG-context] Issue with \blank halfline and title heads

[josephcanedo]

Dear list,

I would like to have a chapter title consisting of 1 line, halfline spacing, 
another set of lines, and another halfline spacing (I use grid=both but same 
issue with grid=yes), but I fail to acheive this. I give a simple MWE that 
shows wanted effect (without heading) which works all fine, followed by sample 
chapter which shows that ‘E’ is above the grid base line (added \showgrid to 
make it visible). Do I need to put the title content in some box ?

Thanks a lot for any hint,
Best regards

Joseph

\showgrid\showstruts
\setuplayout[grid=both]

\definehead[Chapter][subsection]
\setuphead[Chapter][number=no, align=center, style=\tf, before={\blank[none]}, 
after={\blank[none]}, grid=both]
