Did you try without the spaces? I’d assume ConTeXt will look for a
folder " Metadata " and not "Metadata".
If this is just a template variable, you didn’t tell us about templating.
And then it matters from where you call your files (MainFolder,
SubFolder or whereever).

[NTG-context] Structure: multi-volume products
Hello, I have a book project that is being cut into two volumes (because it is too long and will be sold as a boxed set). Each volume is presently a separate *product* in the project structure. I presently set the counters in the second volume using: \setupheadnumber [part] [2] \setupheadnumber [chapter] [5] (I have multiple [5] parts in the project, and the first volume ends with part 2 and chapter 5.) 1) Is this the right way to be handling this? 2) Any suggestions on how I can put a Table of Contents for the first volume in the second volume? Thanks!

Re: [NTG-context] Mathematical MetaFun Mania
Hi Hans,
Thanks for the new release and the nice anchoring features.
I played a little bit with these, and noticed some issues: in the following
example, linking the bottom bounds of the integral signs is fine (as long as
numbers are put there), but for the upper bounds, the \infty and \pi/2 are not
accepted (nor is any letter or greek symbol), but if one replaces \infty and
\pi/2 with numbers, then the link between the upper bounds is shown. (In this
example the links are invading the text, but probably this is due to the fact
that I just copied the Metapost snippet you sent to Gavin).
Best regards: Otared

If your question is of
[NTG-context] Project structure with nested subfolders and shared environments.
Dear Everyone,
I'm setting up a project structure that will possibly let me share styles
and layouts with lots of documents I need to create weekly.
Unfortunately my definitions in the environment file or files are ignored...
Here is the setup under the purposely created structure:
** The folder called: 'MainFolder' is the root of my document repository.
** The 'Metadata' folder inside the 'MainFolder' contains environment files.
** The 'SubFolder/SubSubFolder' inside the 'MainFolder' is the nestin
glevel I need with all the documents.
Here are the files:
% /MainFolder/Meta.tex
\startproject *
\usepath [{ Metadata }]
\environment Environment.tex
\stopproject
% /MainFolder/Metadata/Environment.tex
\startenvironment *
% Test if setup is applied.
\setupbodyfont[ebgaramond]
\stopenvironment
% /MainFolder/SubFolder/SubSubFolder/Doc.tex
\startproduct *
\project Meta
\startcomponent *
\startchapter[title={ Nested }]
\input tufte
\stopchapter
\stopcomponent
\stopproduct
Unfortunately the default font is applied and EB Garamond is not picked up
from the environment.
The question is:
** How can I use such a structure to share styles and layouts kept i the
'Metadata' folder and use htem in products that are ment to be complete
documents kept in the 'SubSubFolders'?
All the very best and htank you in advance for any clarifications...
Pawel

pt, hr and et don’t break the line at the hyphen. af breaks the line at

Either I’m missing something extremely basic, or
"\setuplanguage[explicitrighthyphenchar=-1]" only works for English.
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

This indeed passes key=value pairs, but I cannot get it to pass mine. Is there
some intermediate step? Your example has a key=value pair in \connectboxanchors
and which is accessed in the MetaPost code. The pair, and MetaPost code are:
rulethickness=1pt

This may be a historical fluke, but it suggests that there is some intermediate

I updated lmtx so you can test it again.

'mono=1' misplaces the dot in i and j and the accent in i (all to the
left). It also misses bottom lines in i, r and f. And it also misses the
upper left stroke in r.
'crsv=1' gives no alternate glyphs.
I use Recursive for a project and I discovered the issues.

Hello MetaFun Math Lovers,
I am using MetaFun to attach diagrams to formulas. Both the physics and the
typesetting are going great! I attached a sample below, to give a taste of what
I am trying to do. This page of actual calculations has examples of almost
everything I need. It’s a lot, but it is all working. Right now the interface
is terrible, but effective. Thanks to Hans and Mikael for many helpful hints!
I am still using \hpos and \setMPpositiongraphic, because I haven't figured out
how to pass information from \mathboxanchored and \connectboxanchors to my
MetaPost code. Here is the code for the connectors:
\startMPpositiongraphic{mypos:contract}
path pa, pb, pab ; numeric na, nb ; string ta, tb, hand, product ;
ta := mpvars("from") ;
tb := mpvars("to") ;
stemshiftfrom := (EmWidth/8)*mpvarn("startstem") ;
stemshiftto := (EmWidth/8)*mpvarn("stopstem") ;
hand := mpvars("hand") ;
product := mpvars("product") ;
delta := mpvard("distance") ;
na := positionpage(ta) ; % page number of a
nb := positionpage(tb) ; % page number of b
pa := positionbox(ta) ; % box of a
pb := positionbox(tb) ; % box of b
if hand = "right" :
z1 = 0.5[llcorner pa,lrcorner pa] shifted (stemshiftfrom, -ExHeight/4) ;
z2 = 0.5[llcorner pb,lrcorner pb] shifted (stemshiftto, -ExHeight/4) ;
y3 = min(y1,y2) - ExHeight/2 -delta;
else :
z1 = 0.5[ulcorner pa,urcorner pa] shifted (stemshiftfrom, ExHeight/4) ;
z2 = 0.5[ulcorner pb,urcorner pb] shifted (stemshiftto,ExHeight/4) ;
y3 = max(y1,y2) + ExHeight/2 +delta;
fi ;
if na = nb : % Check that positions are on the same page
pickup pencircle scaled 0.6pt ;
if product = "sym" :
draw z1 -- (x1,y3+ExHeight/2) ;
draw z2 -- (x2,y3+ExHeight/2) ;
pickup pencircle scaled 1.2pt ;
draw (x1-EmWidth/8,y3) -- (x2+EmWidth/8,y3) ;
else :
pab := z1 -- (x1,y3) -- (x2,y3) -- z2{down} ;
draw pab ;
fi ;
positioninregion ;
fi ;
\stopMPpositiongraphic
A connector command might look something like this:
\setMPpositiongraphic{X-1}{mypos:contract}{to=X-2,product=sym,startstem=-2,stopstem=2,distance=0.5ex}
All of the key=value pairs in the last argument of \setMPpositiongraphic pop
right up in my MetaPost code with mpvar(“key”). I haven’t been able to follow
this with \mathboxanchored and \connectboxanchors. My two questions are:
1) Can I use \setMPpositiongraphic with \mathboxanchored? That would allow me
to go straight to my MetaPost code without the \connectboxanchors interface
2) Can I tell \connectboxanchors to use my MetaPost code and pass key=value
pairs like I do with \setMPpositiongraphic?
