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

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.
Do you know, how to achieve that?
Here is a minimal example:
```
\startsetups[table:rotated]
\setupTABLE[frame=off]
\setupTABLE[row][first][bottomframe=on, style=bf, align={center, low}]
\setupTABLE[row][2][align=flushright]
\stopsetups
\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
dove} \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD Amount of legs \eTD \bTD \digits{4} \eTD \bTD \digits{8} \eTD
\bTD \digits{2} \eTD \eTR
\eTABLE
\stoptext
```
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.

Thank you, that works for the minimal example and in my case but has the side
effect to modify emphasis.
I wonder, if there is another solution without side effects.

[NTG-context] Combining styles (especially bold and italic)
Hi,
I have the situation that I want to typeset a special formatted name within a
section heading.
The name contains an italic part while the heading is bold, but both styles are
defined at another place.
Is there a way to tell ConTeXt to combine them, so that it is bold _and_ italic?
Here is a minimal example:
```
\define\somename{HX\style[italic]{print}\autoinsertnextspace}
\setuphead[section, subject][style={\bfc}]
\starttext
\startsection[title=The \somename name]
\somename is a strange written name.
\stopsection
\stoptext
```
In the normal text, HXprint is written correctly, in the section heading
"print" is italic but not bold.

[NTG-context] Placement of floats with an "anchor"
Hi,
in my document, I recently left a TODO note that said:
"This floating graphic needs to be on the same page than this formula at the
end."
My floating graphic currently uses:
\startplacefigure[title={bla}, location=top, reference=fig:bla]
...
\stopplacefigure
The graphic should be at the top of the page where the formulas are typeset at
the end.
Normally, I would do that manually, when all other text is finished.
Can I somehow automate this in ConTeXt? So defining a (non visible) "anchor" at
a random place within the normal text and then tell ConTeXt to place the float
at the same page (if possible)?
Here is a minimal example to play around (the float is placed on page 1, while
the "anchor" is on page 2).
```
\starttext
\input{knuth}
\input{knuth}
\input{knuth}
% anchorto is made up to demonstrate the problem
\startplacefigure[title={A figure explaining the formula.}, location=top,
reference=some, anchorto={eq:important}]
\startalign[center]
\style[sans]{This is a figure that explains the formula.}
\stopalign
\stopplacefigure
It is explained with these equations (see also figure \in[some]):
\startformula[reference=eq:important]
\startalign
\NC a \NC = b \NR
\NC a \NC = b \NR
\NC a \NC = b \NR
\NC a \NC = b \NR
\NC a \NC = b \NR
\NC a \NC = b \NR
\NC a \NC = b \NR
\NC a \NC = b \NR
\NC a \NC = b \NR
\stopalign
\stopformula
\input{knuth}
\input{knuth}
\input{ward}
\stoptext
```

Good to know. Especially for the "Va" in "Vase", I expected kerning (it looks
not equally spaced currently).

They are defined in the font, but they are not used in the PDF output, aren't
they? For example in the "ffi" in "Effizient" the "f" is not connected with the
"i", while the ligature glyph has a connection there.
I attached a screenshot for comparison. The ligature was generated with
"\ShowCompleteFont{name:xcharter*default}{11pt}{1}" (with the fnt-10 module).
It is, however, noticeable that the whole xcharter font is thicker in the
output of \ShowCompleteFont. Is this part of the reason?

Ok, I've seen it here as (somewhat) common ligature:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligature_(writing)#Computer_typesetting
But there is also mentioned that TeX just has ff, fi, fl, ffi and ffl by
default.

Th
[NTG-context] Questions regarding fonts: obliques (fake italics), ligatures and kerning
Hi,
I played around with different fonts, especially Bitstream XCharter and
Overpass (http://overpassfont.org/) and wanted to combine them.
However, I see some issues regarding ligatures, kerning and obliques/italics.
Here is a minimal example:
```
\definefontfeature[default][mode=node, kern=yes, liga=yes]
% more features
% [mode=node, kern=yes, liga=yes, tlig=yes, itlg=yes, ccmp=yes, language=dflt,
protrusion=quality, expansion=quality]
\definefontfamily [myfont][roman][xcharter]
\definefontfamily [myfont][sansserif][overpass][rscale=0.93]
\definefontfamily [myfont][teletype][overpass][rscale=0.93]
\definefontfamily [myfont][mono][overpassmono][rscale=0.93]
\definetypeface [myfont][mathematics][math] [xcharter]
\setupbodyfont[myfont, 11pt]
\startTEXpage
\showfontkerns
Vitae, Vase, LT, VA, Y., Effizient, abcdel™, \italic{effi
abcdel™}, \slanted{effi abcdel™}\\
\style[sans]{Vitae, Vase, LT, VA, Y., Effizient, abcdel™, \italic{effi
abcdel™}, \slanted{effi abcdel™}}\\
\style[mono]{Vitae, Vase, LT, VA, Y., Effizient, abcdel™, \italic{effi
abcdel™}, \slanted{effi abcdel™}}\\
\showbodyfont[myfont]
\stopTEXpage
```
It produces the PDF in the attachment. I'm struggling with several things:
- xcharter seems to have no kerning applied. It is listed as font feature,
though. Is it correct to have no kerning at all for that font?
- xcharter also have no ligatures (at least it doesn't look like that). That is
listed as font feature, too, although only for italic and slanted. According to
https://tug.org/FontCatalogue/xcharter/ there are ligatures in the font.
- Overpass has a glyph for the ae ligature. Is it normal that it is not used as
a ligature for ae?
- Overpass Mono does not contain italic glyphs. I would have expected obliques
when using \slanted then. However, it just remains normal.
- I included the ™ in the example since its italic glyph is not slanted. For
all fonts \slanted seems to switch to the extra (italic?) glyphs, while I would
have expected obliques. At least overpass seems to have no dedicated slanted
style, while xcharter has one.
- Is there a command to show ligatures the same way there is a command for
kerning?
I attached the output of the following commands, too:
mtxrun --script font --list --file --info --pattern='xcharter*'
mtxrun --script font --list --file --info --pattern='overpass*'
Thanks

Hi Mikael,
your examples are simpler, that is correct, but all of them have the extra

Thanks for the simpler code, I will integrate it!

[NTG-context] Strange extra space when using cases in an inner align in math
Hi,
I currently have the case of a strange extra space in math mode when using
cases in inner align.
Here is a MWE to demonstrate the problem:
```
\definemathsimplealign[inneralign]
\startdocument
\startformula
\startalign
\NC a = b \NR
\NC \NC \startinneralign[n=3,align={1:right,2:middle,3:left}]
\NC A \NC = \NC B \NR
\NC f(x,y) \NC = \NC \startcases
\NC \text{strange} \NC a \NR
\NC \text{normal} \NC b \NR
\NC \text{also normal} \NC b \NR
\stopcases
\stopinneralign
\stopalign
\stopformula
\stopdocument
```
"strange" and "normal" are not aligned what I would expect but strange has more
space in front of it.
Is this a usage error or a bug in the math engine?
Best,
Gerion

I'll try to formulate it clearer: If I get it right, to set margin notes, you need to specify \setupmargindata in any case. However, on the one hand, there might be notes that follow the style of the "style" argument within \setupmargindata. And on the other hand, there might be notes that internally uses \framed and follow the "style" argument within a separately specified \setupmarginframed. My question is, whether I have any chance to get in advance (when writing down the document styling) which style argument my future (not yet written) margin notes will follow to know if I need to specify a \setupmarginframed at all. Is it the style argument of \setupmargindata or \setupmarginframed or is it a good practice to _always_ specify \setupmarginframed with the same style argument as given to \setupmargindata?

Ok, I think I understand that in principal. Thanks for the explanation.
Can I somehow know in advance that a margin note makes use of \framed?

Thanks, that works for the alignment. It does not change the hyphenation.
I would have expected this line breaks in the margin note:
significant
incredible
components
Instead, ConTeXt generates:
significant in
credible com
ponents
In general:
Does the "align" argument in setupmargindata has a meaning at all?
Why is the action to setup margin notes splitted in setupmargindata and
setupmarginframed? I find it kind of unintuitive.

Does the align parameter of \setupmargindata has any function, then?
Also, using setupmarginframed leads to other problems:
- The margin text is bold now(?)
- All margin nodes are on the left of the page now (this should be only the
case for even pages)
I tested with (and Hans' patch):
```
\setuppagenumbering[location={footer, right}, alternative=doublesided]
% \definealign[myalign][inner, nothyphenated]
\setupmarginframed[inmargin][
location=outer,
style=italic,
% align=myalign,

% align=nothyphentated,
align={inner, nothyphentated},

[NTG-context] Wiki in Mobile(?) format
Hi, since a few weeks I have the problem that I get the mobile(?) view for the wiki, when I open a "wiki.contextgarden.net" link. However, the mobile view is not feature complete (colors and renderings are missing). This only happens in Qutebrowser (maybe it sets a header wrong).

[NTG-context] Alignments of margin notes
Hi,
I want to make a two sided document with margin notes.
The notes should not be hyphenated and always aligned to the inner text body.
However, I did not get this to work.
It hyphenates and the alignment is only correct at even pages.
Do you know the correct way?
Here is a MWE:
```
\setuppagenumbering[location={footer, right}, alternative=doublesided]
\definealign[myalign][inner, nothyphenated]
\setupmargindata[inmargin][
location=outer,
style=italic,
% nothing of that seems to have any effect
% align=myalign,
% align=inner,
% align=nothyphentated,
align={inner, nothyphentated},
]
\starttext
\inmargin{significant incredible components}\input knuth
\inmargin{significant incredible components}\input knuth
\inmargin{significant incredible components}\input knuth
\inmargin{significant incredible components}\input knuth
\inmargin{significant incredible components}\input knuth
\inmargin{significant incredible components}\input knuth

[NTG-context] Draw leftframe to a description
Hi,
I want to typeset an "excurses" description that is marked with a leftframe.
The problem is that it spans about multiple pages and has footnotes.
Here is an MWE:
```
%% -> mwe-framedtext.pdf
\defineframedtext[excursusbg][
frame=off,
leftframe=on,
rulethickness=1mm,
framecolor=blue,
toffset=0mm, % there is an offset anyways
]
%% -> mwe-textbackground.pdf
% \definetextbackground[excursusbg] [
% location=text,
% background=color,
% backgroundcolor=lightblue,
% frame=on,
% loffset=10cm, % seems to have no impact
% ]
\definedescription[excursus][
text={Excursus:\ },
alternative=top,
headstyle=bold,
margin=1cm,
width=broad,
before={\startexcursusbg},
after={\stopexcursusbg},
]
\starttext
\input ward
\startexcursus[title={A Knuth extract}]
\input knuth
\stopexcursus
\input ward
\startexcursus[title={A much longer Knuth extract}]
\input knuth
Sometimes, sentences have footnotes\footnote{Some footnote}.
\input knuth
\input knuth
\stopexcursus
\stoptext
```
See the attached PDFs for the different results.
In principal, I would like the excurses typesetted like to solution with
\defineframedtext. However, this does not work with pagebreaks.
Additionally, the leftframe is too long (it begins above the "Excursus" text).
I tried toffset to let the leftframe begin exactly at the "Excurses" text
without success.
The solution with \textbackground looks somewhat promising. It supports
pagebreaks, but draws above footnotes and prints a small rectangle at the end
of the excursus. I also didn't found a way to specify a leftframe only.
Also, loffset seems to have no effect, here.
Do I use the false environments? Do you know a better solution?

Thank you very much! That are a bunch of nice tricks. The setups environment is
really powerful.
I will actively search for this keyword in the documentation next time.

[NTG-context] How to specify a default formatting for TABLE
Hi,
I want to format a bunch a tables with the same formatting.
It seems that specifying the \setupTABLE commands as part of the preamble works.
However, I need some tables that are formatted in another way.
Is there a generic way to specify this?
Here is a MWE:
```
\setupTABLE[frame=off, offset=2pt]
\setupTABLE[row][first][topframe=on, bottomframe=on, style=bf]
\setupTABLE[row][last][bottomframe=on]
\setupTABLE[row][even][background=color,backgroundcolor=red]
\setupcolors[state=start]
\starttext
A table:\\
\bTABLE
\bTR \bTD head1 \eTD \bTD head2 \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD data1 \eTD \bTD data2 \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD data3 \eTD \bTD data4 \eTD \eTR
\eTABLE
\blank[line]
Another table with the same format:\\
\bTABLE
\bTR \bTD head1 \eTD \bTD head2 \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD data1 \eTD \bTD data2 \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD data3 \eTD \bTD data4 \eTD \eTR
\eTABLE
\blank[line]
This table should be formatted in another way (actually not formatted):\\
\bTABLE
\setupTABLE[row][each][topframe=off, bottomframe=off, style=,
background=]
\bTR \bTD head1 \eTD \bTD head2 \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD data1 \eTD \bTD data2 \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD data3 \eTD \bTD data4 \eTD \eTR
\eTABLE
\blank[line]
This does not work either:\\
{
\setupTABLE[row][each][topframe=off, bottomframe=off, style=, background=]
% \setupTABLE[row][1,2,3][topframe=off, bottomframe=off, style=, background=] %
this deactivates the color at least
\bTABLE
\bTR \bTD head1 \eTD \bTD head2 \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD data1 \eTD \bTD data2 \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD data3 \eTD \bTD data4 \eTD \eTR
\eTABLE
}
\stoptext
```
The last two tables should be formatted as if the four setupTABLE commands in
the header are not existent.
My solution does not work, however.

This seems to be much better but does not lead to the wanted result. The full
example now is:
```
\definestartstop[myhl][style=mono,left={›\thinspace}]
\definedescription[categorie][
alternative=top,
headstyle=bold,
width=broad,
]
\definedescription[desc][
width=broad,
distance=\spaceamount,
headcommand={\groupedcommand{\startmyhl}{\stopmyhl :}},
headstyle=,
before={\startpacked},
after={\stoppacked},
alternative=hanging
]
\starttext
This is a \myhl{highlight}.
Some listings
\startcategorie{Itemize}
\startitemize[packed]
\item \myhl{first}: one
\item \myhl{second}: two
\stopitemize
\stopcategorie
Now the same as desc:
\startcategorie{Desc}
\startdesc{first} one \stopdesc
\startdesc{second} two \stopdesc
\stopcategorie
\stoptext
```
This adopts the correct style in \startdesc \stopdesc and sets the colon but
omits the › (the left part).

Is there a better way to define a highlight that sets a style (color, font)
_and_ a prefix (symbol)?
Another way, I know of, would be just a plain def, something like
\def{\hl}{\groupedcommand{>\,\switchtobodyfont[tt]}{}}, but actually I want to
define a highlight (just with an additional prefix).

Hmm, this works, but duplicates the above definition.

[NTG-context] Use headcommand in \definedescription together with \definehighlight
Hi,
I was in the process to convert an itemize part to a description and wanted to
simplify the code in the same move.
I discovered headcommand for that, but struggled to set the text in an
highlight _and_ make a colon at the end.
Do you know, if this is possible?
Here is a MWE:
```

I need to correct myself (I had a typo in my tests before). Numbers as stacking
layer names are possible.
This Lua code works fine:
```
\startluacode
for i = 1, 20 do
context("\\definestacking[l\letterpercent.d]", i)
end
\stopluacode
```

Sorry, I did not read your answer before writing an own. See my other mail, it

Very nice, thank you!
I see some similarities to the "visible on" technique [1], I posted in a
previous thread.
What comes there really handy are range specifiers, what seems not possible
with this interface.
For example: "visible on=<2->" renders the content on every page except the
first one
or "visible on=<1-5,13-15>" on the first page up to the fifth page and from
page 13 to 15.
The mechanism stems from the Beamer overlay specifications, see section 9.3 of
the manual [2]
and can be much more complicated with modes (section 9.6.2).
To add this to the new interface, if you want that, the stack layers above need
some kind of order,
which is implicit for numbers:
```
\definestacking{one}
\definestacking{two}
\definestacking{three}
\definestackingorder{one,two, three}
...
\setupstacking[criterium={one-three}]
```
The order could also be implicitly defined after the order of the
\definestacking calls.
Or would it be possible to have numbers always automatically (additionally)
available as stacking layer?
So that this "just" works:
```
\startbuffer
This is a test \stacking [1] {and a proof} of \stacking [2] {concept} indeed.
\stopbuffer
...
\setupstacking[criterium={1-}]
```
I also wondered, if it is possible to define a lot of layers semiautomatically
in Lua
(in some graphics I needed around 20 layers). It seems that numbers in layer
names currently are not allowed.
Is code like this possible somehow?
```
\startluacode
for i = 1, 20 do
context.definestacking(string.format("l\letterpercent.d", i))
end
\stopluacode
```

I got some understanding of the underlying code now.
This setup solves the above issue:
```
\startsetups btx:aps:cite:special
% just a dummy
\fastsetup{btx:cite:concat}
\btxcitereference
\currentbtxtag
\stopsetups
```

Thank you for the example, but learning metafun is another chapter and the
graphics are much more complicated than the minimal example given.
I saw that you pushed an updated version that fixes the bug [1]. Thank you!

Thanks, I solved it by embedding the extract code directly (more less).

I don't really have a clue about the PDF standard. It is made with the TikZ
opacity flag therefore I thought it controls the transparency.
See the attached tex file to reproduce fig.pdf (compilation with `latexmk
-pdflua fig.tex`).
I also found a workaround. It is possible to import fig.pdf with Inkscape and
export just the correct page as PDF again and embed that in ConTeXt:
```
inkscape --export-page=1 fig.pdf --export-type=pdf --export-filename=1.pdf
```

[NTG-context] Transparency in external PDFs does not work
Hi, I'm using LaTeX-Beamer and TikZ for figure typesetting. With this combination, it is easy to combine Beamer's animation system with TikZ transparency feature. This way, the resulting PDFs contain the full graphic on every page, but parts of it are invisible for a specific page. One of these files is attached as an example. The problem is to embed these PDFs into a ConTeXt document. For example, this MWE seems to not respect transparency (see mwe.pdf): ``` \starttext \externalfigure[fig.pdf][page=1] \stoptext ``` I use Okular/Poppler as PDF viewer. Can I fix this somehow or is it a bug somewhere deeper?

I tried to combine this with the code of the mail thread: "setuphead in
connection with the command argument" but had not luck.
ConTeXt always stops with:
```

```
Here is the MWE:

Hmm, you are right, like a little frayed. 02713 and 02714 are similar.
I guess, this should look like they were drawn with a brush.

Thank you. That works well for this case.
I have a follow up question. I tried to additionally set a titledistance and
reproduce that for the "Answer:"-part.
ConTeXt then introduces a mysterious newline.
See this example:
```
\definehspace[dist][1em]
\startsetups[question:intro]
\setupparagraphintro[first][\bold{Answer:}\hspace[1em]]
\blank
\stopsetups
\defineenumeration[question][
alternative=top,
text=Question,
title=yes,
titleleft=,
titledistance=1em,
titleright=,
right={:},
headstyle=bold,
inbetween=\setup{question:intro},
]
\starttext
Some text:
\startquestion[title={How long does a loop last?}]
For a while.
\stopquestion
\stoptext
```

[NTG-context] Prefix the text in an enumeration.
Hi,
is there a way to automatically prefix the text body in an enumeration?
Consider this example:
```
\defineenumeration[question][
alternative=top,
text=Question,
title=yes,
titleleft=,
titleright=,
right={:},
headstyle=bold,
]
\starttext
Some text:
\startquestion[title={How long does a loop last?}]
\bold{Answer:} For a while.
\stopquestion
\stoptext
```
I'd like to have the `\bold{Answer:}` automatically. So for example something
like this:
```
\defineenumeration[question][
alternative=top,
text=Question,
title=yes,
titleleft=,
titleright=,
right={:},
headstyle=bold,
prefix={\bold{Answer:}},
]
\starttext
Some text:
\startquestion[title={How long does a loop last?}]
For a while.
\stopquestion
\stoptext
```
I tried to misuse `inbetween` for that but `alternative=top` seems to make a
(not modifiable space) between the heading and the text body.

[NTG-context] Scale content to height of the font, measure font height
Hi,
I'd like to scale something (actually a symbol drawn in TikZ) to the exact
high of the char 'M'. I found the scale environment for it but struggle to
measure the correct font height. I found the "definemeasure/measure/measured"
commands but they define a dimension and are not for doing measurements on
rendered text. Is there a simple way to get the height a char as a dimension?
MWE:
```
\starttext
% Is it possible to replace 1cm with a common expression?
This is the letter M. \scale[height=1cm]{a} should have the exact same size as
M.
This should also be true {\tfc with a bigger M. \scale[height=1cm]{a}}.
\stoptext

So, from my point of view, this is not needed anymore.
Thank you for your effort anyway!

Really cool! Thank you. If I see it right, this is completely generic,
so with this it is possible to define any start stop
with completely variable arguments.

[NTG-context] Combine \setupdelimitedtext with an author (define custom variable?)
Hi,
I like to achieve something that looks like this:
```
\definedelimitedtext[extract][blockquote]
\setupdelimitedtext
[extract]
[leftmargin=1.5pc,
style={\italic},
before={\setupindenting[next]},
after={\blank[1ex] \hrule \blank[1ex] \startalignment[flushright]
\tfx\italic{René Descartes} \stopalignment}]
\starttext
\startextract
Cogito ergo sum.
\stopextract
\stoptext
```
So it should setup a quotation and mentions the author.
However, here the author is hardcoded within the blockquote. I would like it to
use like this:
```
\definedelimitedtext[extract][blockquote]
\setupdelimitedtext
[extract]
[leftmargin=1.5pc,
style={\italic},
before={\setupindenting[next]},
after={\blank[1ex] \hrule \blank[1ex] \startalignment[flushright]
\tfx\italic{\getcustomvariable{author}} \stopalignment}]
\starttext
\startextract[author=René Descartes]
Cogito ergo sum.
\stopextract
\stoptext
```
Is there an easy way to achieve that?
I tried with \structureuservariable (like possible in \startchapter) but it
does not work.
Best,

Thank you. I think that I understand command vs alternative now.
With try and error, I experienced, that the font/style of the `style`
parameter interleave in a strange way. Therefore I see it as related.
What i mean is:
Example 1
```
\define[2]\MyChapter{%
\bold This is bold #1 #2
}
\setuphead[title, chapter][command=\MyChapter, style=\italic]
\starttext
\startchapter[title=foo]
\stopchapter
\stoptext
```
"This is bold" is bold, but "1" and "foo" are italic.
The font size is normal.
It seems, that "style" is just applied to "#1" and "#2" _before_ evaluating
MyChapter.
Example 2
```
\define[2]\MyChapter{%
\bold This is bold #1 #2
}
% this should be the "default" style
\setuphead[title, chapter][command=\MyChapter, style=\tfc]
\starttext
\startchapter[title=foo]
\stopchapter
\stoptext
```
"This is bold" is bold, "1" and "2" are normal, but the whole font size is
bigger.
It seems, that "style" is applied partially to the whole text and somehow
special to "#1" and "#2" (Why are these arguments not bold?)
As of your explanations, I currently think of the following logic for
typesetting (in pseudocode):
```
function typeset_chapter(style, numberstyle, textstyle, command, alternative,
chapter_number, chapter_title) {
local formatted_chapter_number = apply_style(numberstyle,
apply_style(style, chapter_number))
local formatted_chapter_title = apply_style(textstyle, apply_style(style,
chapter_title))
if (alternative != "normal")
set_TeX_macro("\headnumbercontent", formatted_chapter_number)
set_TeX_macro("\headtextcontent", formatted_chapter_title)
typeset_as_TeX(get_TeX_code(alternative))
else
evaluate_TeX_function(command, #1=formatted_chapter_number,
#2=formatted_chapter_title)
endif
}
```
But this does not fit to example 2.

[NTG-context] Specify separator within setupbtx for custom bibliography rendering
Hi,
according to the section "Custom citation renderings" in the bibliography
manual, I have specified an own setup for citation rendering.
However, this seems only to work for single citations (of one source). I want
to also specify the separator but did not get it to run.
Here is a minimal example:
```
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\startbuffer[testdata]
@Book{knuth1,
author = {Donald E. Knuth},
title = {TEX and METAFONT. New directions in typesetting},
year = {1979},
publisher = {Addison-Wesley},
}
@Article{someother,
author = {Some Person and Some Otherperson},
title = {Another title},
year = {1900},
}
\stopbuffer
% enable tracing
\enabletrackers[publications, publications.crossref, publications.details,
publications.cite, publications.strings]
\usebtxdataset[main][testdata.buffer]
\usebtxdefinitions[aps]
\setupbtx[dataset=main]
\definebtxrendering[bibrendering][aps][dataset=main, numbering=short]
\setupbtxlist[aps][
alternative=b,
distance=.5em,
]
\definebtx[aps:cite:special][aps:cite][
left={((},
right={))},
separator:2={sfd},
separator:3={sfd},
separator:4={sfd},
]
\startsetups btx:aps:cite:special
% just a dummy
\btxcitereference
\currentbtxtag
\stopsetups
\setupbtx[aps:cite][
alternative=special,
]
\starttext
Both said something~\cite[knuth1, someother].
\placelistofpublications[bibrendering]
\stoptext
```
The output of this is:
> Both said something ((knuth1someother)).
How can I get the separator to work? My expectation would be:
> Both said something ((knuth1sfdsomeother)).
or
> Both said something ((knuth1sfd someother)).

Thank you very much! That looks really clean. I will add it to the wiki.
Can you bring some clarification regarding "style=", "command=" and
"alternative="?
What, if I define multiple of them? Is the system not made for this?
I just tested my initial example regarding font size with `command=\MyChapter,
style=` and the font size was only affected by the code of \MyChapter.
What is the default style?

Thanks for the input. A comparable example is also listed in the wiki.
I like the approach for placing subtitle and intro alone. However, I also want
to style chapter number and chapter title separately.
I'm also not sure, if an extra heading (MyChapter) is needed, since all my
chapters are styled in this way.
Isn't it possible to define "after" of chapter directly?

So this sentence of the wiki [1] is wrong (documentation of the command
argument)?:

If I see it right, `style=` only affects the typesetting of `#1` and `#2`, so I
need setupbodyfont _and_ switchtobodyfont, didn't I?
Also, when I want #1 and #2 to be in different sizes, I choose the "base" size
with style=\setupbodyfont and adjust it further with switchtobodyfont just for
one the the argument?
All in all, the correct documentation would be:

This produces an extra line break between '#2' and ':', I don't get why.
Otherwise, it looks quite nice.

[NTG-context] setuphead in connection with the command argument
Hi,
I'm trying to adapt the format of chapters in my document and have a few
questions regarding setuphead.
My aim is to have the chapter (title) on a separate page with an additional
intro in different text sizes for title, subtitle and the intro.
I chose to use the "command=" argument in setuphead for that.
However, I'm not quite sure about it's internals.
Let's begin with a minimal example:
```
\define[2]\MyChapter{%
#1 #2: \structureuservariable{subtitle} (\structureuservariable{intro})
}
\setuphead[title, chapter][command=\MyChapter]
\setupbodyfont[11pt]
\starttext
\startchapter[title=foo][subtitle=bar, intro={some explanation}]
some text
\stopchapter
\stoptext
```
This produces 1.pdf.
## Font size
What is the reason that that the font of the chapter is bigger? How can I reset
it to normal size? This does not work at all:
```
\define[2]\MyChapter{%
\setupbodyfont[11pt] #1 #2: \structureuservariable{subtitle}
(\structureuservariable{intro})
}
```
However, changing to a bigger font works somehow. Is there a factor applied to
the font size internally? For example:
```
\define[2]\MyChapter{%
\setupbodyfont[20pt] #1 #2: \structureuservariable{subtitle}
(\structureuservariable{intro})
}
```
produces 2.pdf (the chapter font is not 20pt).
## Line breaks
How can I achieve line breaks?
This does not work:
```
\define[2]\MyChapter{%
#1 #2:\\
\structureuservariable{subtitle}\\
(\structureuservariable{intro})
}
```
(see 3.pdf)
I also want to set everything except of the intro in a flushright environment
but do not know how. I tried:
```
\define[2]\MyChapter{%
\startalignment[flushright]
#1 #2:\\
\structureuservariable{subtitle}\\
\stopalignment
\structureuservariable{intro}
}
```
(see 4.pdf, no change)
## Bold text
I tried to get the text bold. However, `#1` and `#2` does not seem to follow
this.
```
\define[2]\MyChapter{%
\bold #1 #2: \structureuservariable{subtitle}
(\structureuservariable{intro})
}
```
## Makeups
The best solution, I had so far, was to define a makeup, but I don't get it to
work with text with mixed alignment and it does not solve the font size problem:
```
\definemakeup[chapter][align=left, top=]
\define[2]\MyChapter{%
\startmakeup[chapter]
#1 #2:\\
\structureuservariable{subtitle}\\
\stopmakeup
(\structureuservariable{intro})
}
```
(see 5.pdf)
## Framed
I also have tried this but it does not bring any linebreaks:
```
\define[2]\MyChapter{%
\framed[frame=off, offset=0pt]{#1\\#2:\\ \structureuservariable{subtitle}\\
(\structureuservariable{intro})}
}
```
(see 6.pdf)
I hope you can shed some light into setuphead with command. I search on the
wiki, Stackoverflow and the manuals but didn't really find anything.
Best,
Gerion

[NTG-context] Re: Combine lua and btx setup, was: Re: Customize citation format of a bibliography (use the short form as reference format)
I solved it, although it's kinda hacky. I'm pretty sure that
publications.citevariants.short is not meant to be called directly.
Do you know why `context.getdetail(dataset, tag, "author")` does not work in
render_cite?
It always returns nil.
```

[NTG-context] Combine lua and btx setup, was: Re: Customize citation format of a bibliography (use the short form as reference format)
Here is a solution for the first part of my question. This is based on
https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg101156.html
and try and error based on publ-imp-aps.mkvi and publ-imp-apa.mkvi:
It display now the citation _and_ numbering labels in the short form:
```
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\startbuffer[testdata]
@Book{knuth1,
author = {Donald E. Knuth},
title = {TEX and METAFONT. New directions in typesetting},
year = {1979},
publisher = {Addison-Wesley},
}
@Article{someother,
author = {Some Person and Some Otherperson},
title = {Another title},
year = {1900},
}
\stopbuffer
% enable tracing
\enabletrackers[publications, publications.crossref, publications.details,
publications.cite, publications.strings]
\usebtxdataset[main][testdata.buffer]
\usebtxdefinitions[aps]
\setupbtx[dataset=main]
\definebtxrendering[bibrendering][aps][dataset=main, numbering=short]
\setupbtxlist[aps][
alternative=b,
distance=.5em,
]
\setupbtx[aps:cite][alternative=short]
\starttext
Knuth developed \TeX \cite[knuth1]
Several persons said something \cite[someother].
\placelistofpublications[bibrendering]
\stoptext
```
The remaining part now is to mark publications of Knuth in a different way.
I have tried this and failed. Here is my code so far:
```
\startluacode
function render_cite(short, author)
print(author)
if author:lower():find("knuth") then
context("[>" .. short .. "]")
else
context("[" .. short .. "]")
end
end
\stopluacode
\definebtx[aps:cite:special][aps:cite]
\startsetups btx:aps:cite:special
\btxcitereference
\ctxlua{render_cite([==[\btxflush{year}]==], [==[\btxflush{author}]==])}
\stopsetups
% use it with \cite[special][knuth1]
```
This has several problems:
- \btxflush{short} does not work as I expected that. How can I get the short
form?
- \btxflush to pass arguments to lua does not work as intended. On the lua side
the
variable "author" resolves to "\btxflushauthor{author}" and not to "D. E.
Knuth".
How can I pass the data?
I use Lua only because I find it more convenient as a programming language. If a
plain tex solution is simpler, I'm happy to use that.
Another question that came up while studying the source code:
What effect have \c!, \s!, and \v!? These commands exist a lot in the above
cited files.

I'm kind of satisfied with the publication-list layout of the APS style so I
chose
this as a base. If it is simpler to start with the APA style, I can do that.
My hope is that it is possible to just change the "label" that is used for
referencing and keep everything else as is.
> Is there some specification for your short tag-based citation style?
biblatex implements this with the "alphabetic" style. I'm not aware of
a specification, though. Does the "short" form in ConTeXt exist for a
specific reason? :)

[NTG-context] Customize citation format of a bibliography (use the short form as reference format)
Hi,
I'm trying to customize a cite format in a bibliography. Currently, I'm using
the aps style which fits so far, except of the plain number as reference.
In concrete, I want to change the following:
- Use the first letter of the last name and the year as reference (this should
be exactly the short form). It is more less also described here [1].
- Highlight publications of a certain author with an extra char (e.g. '>')
Here is a minimal example (lets assume, every occurrence of Knuth should be
highlighted):
```
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\startbuffer[testdata]
@Book{knuth1,
author = {Donald E. Knuth},
title = {TEX and METAFONT. New directions in typesetting},
year = {1979},
publisher = {Addison-Wesley},
}
@Article{someother,
author = {Some Person and Some Otherperson},
title = {Another title},
year = {1900},
}
\stopbuffer
% enable tracing
\enabletrackers[publications, publications.crossref, publications.details,
publications.cite, publications.strings]
\usebtxdataset[main][testdata.buffer]
\usebtxdefinitions[aps]
\setupbtx[dataset=main]
\definebtxrendering[bibrendering][aps][dataset=main]
% this seems to have no effect?
\setupbtx[alternative=short]
\starttext
Knuth developed \TeX \cite[knuth1].
Several persons said something \cite[someother].
\placelistofpublications[bibrendering]
\stoptext
```
It should be rendered as:
```
Knuth developed TeX [>Knu79].
Several persons said something [PO00].
[Knu79] D.E. Knuth, TEX and METAFONT. New directions in typesetting
(Addison-Wesley, 1979).
[PO00] S. Person and S. Otherperson, Another title, (1900).
```
How can I achieve that \cite[something] always renders in the short form by
default?
How can I customize that references to Knuth contain this extra '>'?
How can I customize the APS style to also use the short form in the list of
publications instead of numbers?
Best

[NTG-context] Own command definition breaks with interaction: Use of \do_my_command doesn't match its definition
Hi,
I want to make a proper definition of a new command to be able to
process it in Lua. I found something on StackOverflow [1] but that
breaks in enumeration _and_ when interaction is enabled and I do not
understand why? Can you give me some help here?
I want to make commands like \foo{bla} and \foo[b]{bla} possible at the
same time. Here is a minimal example (also attached):
```
\startluacode
function userdata.my_command(keywords, text)
commands.writestatus("test", string.format("text: %s, config: %s",
text, keywords))
local cfg = utilities.parsers.settings_to_hash(keywords)
if cfg['emph'] ~= nil then
context("\\emph{" .. text .. "}")
elseif cfg['bold'] ~= nil then
context("\\bold{" .. text .. "}")
else
context(text)
end
end

Sure, it was my interest to understand, if the error lays in my installation or is due to the predefined files. Especially, since I did not manage to display a single symbol of FontAwesome at all, not even the one that seems to be explicitly defined. For me, it is not relevant at all, in which version the font is. My main interest is to get an \xmark symbol.

[NTG-context] Re: Fwd: Re: x mark symbol and general symbol guide
Hi, I have to come back to that topic, since it seems not to work. The said source code produces just the text "times" and "check" for me (see 1.pdf). I also tried: ``` \usesymbols[fontawesome] \starttext \showsymbolset[fontawesome-solid] \stoptext ``` and get a list of symbols that do not belong to fontawesome (see 2.pdf). I also tried to find the symbol file directly in the context distribution and found: tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/symb-imp-fontawesome.mkiv However, most parts are commented out there, one of the few remaining symbols is wheelchair. However, when using that, I just got the string _378 (3.pdf). Source code: ``` \usesymbols[fontawesome] \startTEXpage[offset=1pt] \symbol[fontawesome][wheelchair] \stopTEXpage ``` Is there a problem with my installation?

[NTG-context] LMTX: Command handling, Interface between TeX and Lua
Hi,
I'd like to understand more of the inner workings of LMTX.
When I understand it right, most of the code is now processed in Lua but
I was not able to find it.
For example, I tried to find out how setupitemgroup is handled (just as
an example of a more complex command). The wiki has a (kind of)
autogenerated description:
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupitemgroup
I found the data for this (at least this is my guess) here:
tex/texmf-context/tex/context/interface/mkiv/i-itemgroup.xml
Are these xml files created by hand or somehow generated? Now, when I
use `\setupitemgroup[itemize:1][symbol=3,itemalign=middle]`: How are the
arguments handled and is this a generic process or specific to each
command?
Is there a simple way to define a new command/environment and handle
the keyword arguments in Lua? For example defining a frontend command
like this:
\startsomething[firstword={Some},secondword={Text}]
Body
\stopsomething
which I can handle in some lua code like this:
function something(firstword, secondword, body)
tex.print(firstword)
tex.print(secondword)
tex.print(body)
end
Are there any resources beside the context code itself where I can learn
that?

Thanks, this looks exactly like that what I want. However, this does not
really nest aligns, but defines a new alignment group/environment (if I
interpret it correctly). But after all, it is a viable workaround.

Thanks, but unfortunately not. I guess, I simplified the MWE too much.
This does not align the b and c. It should become clear here:
```
\startformula
a = \alignhere (b, thisislonger) \quad \text{with}
\breakhere b = \text{something}
\breakhere thisislonger = \text{someother}
\breakhere
\text{somelong} = \alignhere bla
\stopformula
```

[NTG-context] Nested aligns in formulasjj
Hi,
I try to typeset a nested align in a formula. However, the results looks
really wrong. Here is a MWE:
```
\starttext
\startformula
\startalign
\NC a = \NC (b, c) \quad \text{with}\NR
\NC \NC \startalign
\NC b \NC = something \NR
\NC c \NC = someother \NR
\stopalign \NR
\NC somelong = \NC bla \NR
\stopalign
\stopformula
\stoptext
```
Am I doing something wrong or are nested aligns not possible?
Best,

[NTG-context] Re: Link from a PDF to a reference of an embedded PDF
Hi Pablo, > not sure I’m getting your point right. Thank you for the detailed answer. But I fear, I have not expressed myself precise enough. The solution that you described does not directly fit to my setting. I'll try to rephrase. Maybe it gets more clear then. I think, named destinations could be a important part in the solution. I'm do not know the structure of PDFs exactly, therefore some of my terms might be wrong. I'll name the two things from now on the following way: - a destination: This is a defined position within a PDF document; so some position that a PDF viewer is able to jump to. In ConTeXt, you can set such a position most of the time with the "reference" keyword. In LaTeX, you use \label. - a reference: This is a link that you can click on and cause the PDF viewer to jump/scroll to the linked destination. In ConTeXt, you can use \in to create a reference. In LaTeX, you use \ref. The situation is that I have a PDF-document (inner.pdf) that defines several destinations and I want to embed that document with \externalfigure into another PDF-document (outer.pdf). My question is: Is it possible to create references within the source code of outer.pdf that correctly set a link to a destination that is defined in inner.pdf? Asked in another way: Is is possible that \externalfigure can extract the (maybe named) destinations of inner.pdf and translate them in such a way, that I can use \in within the outer document to link to them.

[NTG-context] Link from a PDF to a reference of an embedded PDF
Hi, I found the "interaction" parameter in the documentation for setupexternalfigure/externalfigure [1]. I, however do not quite understand it. When embedding another PDF with this command, it seems to be possible to include the references of the underlying PDF. It is possible to link to them within the main context document? In [2], I found something maybe related but it requires a tuc file. Example: inner.tex: ``` \starttext \startsection[title=References, reference=sec:ref] Some text \placeformula[eq:foo] \startformula 1 + 2 = 3 \stopformula or: \startitemize[n] \item[item:bla] bla \item[item:blub] blub \stopitemize Find all references \in[sec:ref], \in[eq:foo], \in[item:bla], \in[item:blub]. \stoptext ``` outer.tex: ``` \starttext \externalfigure[inner.pdf][width=10cm, interactive=reference] Find all references \in[sec:ref], \in[eq:foo], \in[item:bla], \in[item:blub]. \stoptext ``` Can I somehow access the references of inner.tex from outer.tex? For me, it is not that relevant, that the correct number is set, but the interaction within the outer PDF should work, so clicking on the reference should scroll to the correct content. Background of my question: I normally do graphics in a separate PDFs. Some graphics consists of source code together with a graphical representation and I want to be able to link to single source code lines.

[NTG-context] floatcombinations seem to not work correctly after lmtx update
Hi,
I recently updated my Context (lmtx). Unfortunately, I'm not aware of
the previous version anymore. The current one is 2023.06.04 18:58.
After the update one of my documents broke at floatcombinations.
The relevant code is this one:
```
\useMPlibrary[dum]
\setupcombinations[alternative=text]
\definefloat[subfigure][local=yes]
\setupcaption[subfigure][numberconversion=a, prefix=no, headseparator={)}]
\setuplabeltext[subfigure=]
\appendvalue{stopplacefigure}{\resetcounter[subfigure]}
\starttext
test sdlkf jlsdjf lksjdf
\startplacefigure[title=Test]
\startfloatcombination[nx=3]
\startplacesubfigure[title=Test]
\externalfigure[dummy][width=0.3\textwidth]
\stopplacesubfigure
\startplacesubfigure[title=Test]
\externalfigure[dummy][width=0.3\textwidth]
\stopplacesubfigure
\startplacesubfigure[title=Test]
\externalfigure[dummy][width=0.3\textwidth]
\stopplacesubfigure
\stopfloatcombination
\stopplacefigure
lskdjf lskjfd lksjdfljsdkjf
\stoptext
```
In this minimal example everything works. However, in my real document
the subfigures have enormous space between them so just two pictures are
visible (see the attached png).
Do you have a clue, why this happens? Otherwise, I would take the
preamble of the real document and try to lower it down to have a
reproducible example (but that takes a lot of time, so I wanted to ask
beforehand).
Best,
Gerion

[NTG-context] Typeset multiple pictures not in a strict matrix (\startfloatcombination)
Hi,
I'm trying to typeset several pictures as a floatcombination but not in
the form of strict cells of a matrix.
Here is some ASCII art to demonstrate the positions of the pictures:
---
| |
| |
---
a) Some caption
-
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
-
b) fooc) foo
Figure 1.1: Foo Bar
I tried to typeset it with this code (based on
https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/502903):
\useMPlibrary[dum]
\setupcombinations[alternative=text]
\definefloat[subfigure][local=yes]
\setupcaption[subfigure][numberconversion=a]
\setuplabeltext[subfigure=]
\appendvalue{stopplacefigure}{\resetcounter[subfigure]}
\starttext
\startplacefigure[title=Test]
\startfloatcombination[nx=1, ny=2]
\startplacesubfigure[title=Test]
\externalfigure[dummy][width=4cm,height=1cm]
\stopplacesubfigure
\startfloatcombination[nx=2, ny=1]
\startplacesubfigure[title=Test]
\externalfigure[dummy][width=4cm,height=1cm]
\stopplacesubfigure
\startplacesubfigure[title=Test]
\externalfigure[dummy][width=4cm,height=1cm]
\stopplacesubfigure
\stopfloatcombination
\stopfloatcombination
\stopplacefigure
\stoptext
However, this does not work (the pictures are all in one row).
Do you have some advice?

[NTG-context] Visual highlighted text with title, mix of enumeration and framedtext
Hi, I want to typeset a "Good to know" section that is visually highlighted and can spawn across multiple pages. In LaTeX this would be possible with the mdframed package. See the attached screenshot for an example how it might look like (it is copied out of page 4: Definition: Inhomogeneous linear of the mdframed documentation: http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/mdframed/mdframed.pdf) I have searched in the wiki and found \defineenumeration: This is near of that what I need. However I explicitly does not need an enumeration (so no number or counter). Also I am not sure if I can set a background and so on. The other possibility is \defineframedtext. For example this goes much in the direction that I want: \definecolor[gbackground][s=0.98] \defineframedtext[gtk][frame=on, offset=5pt, background=color, width=0.95\textwidth, backgroundcolor=gbackground] However, there does not seem a possibility to define a title and it seems to not work on multiple pages. Is there a mix of an enumeration and framedtext that can produce something like in the attached picture?

Okular, MuPDF and pdf.js (Firefox) on Linux look fine. Gimp and Krita also look fine (but I think they are both using poppler). LibreOffice Draw does not (font sizes are wrong).

[NTG-context] Context path resolving, Problem with MkIV and TeXLive
Hi,
I'm having a problem with TeXLive 2021 in conjunction with MkIV.
Basically, executing context results in:
% context
mtxrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua
I researched this and found that probably there is a path problem.
LaTeX seems to be using kpathsea and /etc/texmf.cnf while context uses
texmfcnf.lua.
Looking into this file, it defines nearly all paths relative to "home:"
or "selfautoparent:". Home is self explaining. I have no clue what
selfautoparent is and also did not find an explanation in the internet.
Anyway, selfautoparent seems not to be resolved correctly. I figured
this by running `mtxrun --variables`. Here is a little excerpt:
resolvers | lists | TEXMF
resolvers | lists | env:
{$TEXMFCONFIG,$TEXMFHOME,!!$TEXMFSYSCONFIG,!!$TEXMFSYSVAR,!!$TEXMFPROJECT,!!$TEXMFFONTS,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFDIST}
resolvers | lists | var: TEXMF
resolvers | lists | exp:
{home:.texlive2020/texmf-config,home:texmf,!!selfautoparent:texmf-config,!!selfautoparent:texmf-var,!!selfautoparent:texmf-project,!!selfautoparent:texmf-fonts,!!.,!!selfautoparent:texmf-dist}
resolvers | lists | res:
{/home/gerion/.texlive2020/texmf-config,/home/gerion/texmf,!!./texmf-config,!!./texmf-var,!!./texmf-project,!!./texmf-fonts,!!.,!!./texmf-dist}
...
resolvers | lists | TEXMFSYSVAR
resolvers | lists | env: selfautoparent:texmf-var
resolvers | lists | var: TEXMFSYSVAR
resolvers | lists | exp: selfautoparent:texmf-var
resolvers | lists | res: ./texmf-var
resolvers | lists | TEXMFVAR
resolvers | lists | env: unset
resolvers | lists | var: TEXMFVAR
resolvers | lists | exp: home:.texlive2020/texmf-var
resolvers | lists | res: /home/gerion/.texlive2020/texmf-var
"home:" seems to be resolved correctly to "/home/gerion". "selfautoparent"
seems to be resolved to "." (the current directory?).
My context (and TeXLive) installation is in /usr/share/texmf-dist.
So running mtxrun --generate in exactly this directory and running
context after that works:

I have "fixed" this with directly modifying the publ-imp-aps.mkvi. I guess,
this is the worst way to achive this thing, but I don't know a better one.

[NTG-context] Bibliography in MKIV, custom rendering
Hi,
I need your help again. I've a bibliography and some entries references to
websites. Unfortunately the URL is not always rendered and the name ist always
parsed as name of a person, not from an organisation etc.
What I want to achieve is to use the standard aps style, but with additionally
the following two rules:
1. The name is always rendered without abbrevations (I guess, this is
authorconversion=normal).
2. If an URL is given, it is always rendered.
My input is a bib-file. Here is a minimal example:
input.bib
```
@misc{objective-c,
author = "Apple Inc.",
note = "Online; accessed at 31-July-2017",
title = "About Objective-C",
url =
"https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/ProgrammingWithObjectiveC/Introduction/Introduction.html";,
year = "2014"
}
```
test.tex
```
\usebtxdataset[default][input.bib]
\usebtxdefinitions[aps]
\setupbtx[default:cite][alternative=num]
\setupbtx[default:list][authorconversion=normal]
\starttext
According to Apple Inc., Objective-C is the main programming language, when
writing software for MacOS~\cite[objective-c].
\placelistofpublications
\stoptext
```
I've tried to understand the manual, yout can see some of my attempts in the
minimal example. But I don't get really far.
Can you give me a hint?

Does someone know a way to workaround?
This only way I see is to simply simulate a subsubsection (with some blanks
and a big font).

Was not that simple, but I found the problem, that causes it:
subsubsections without numbers.
Here is a minimal example:
```
\mainlanguage[de]
\setuphead[subsubsection][number=off]
\setupcaptions[way=bychapter,
prefixsegments=chapter]
\starttext
\startchapter[title=Kapitel]
\placefigure{Eine Kuh}{\externalfigure[cow.pdf]}
\startsection[title=Abschnitt]
\startsubsection[title=Unterabschnitt]
\placefigure{Eine Kuh}{\externalfigure[cow.pdf]}
\startsubsubsection[title=Und hier gibts ein Problem]
\placefigure{Eine Kuh}{\externalfigure[cow.pdf]}
\stopsubsubsection
\startsubsubsection[title=Und hier gibts ein Problem]
\stopsubsubsection
\stopsubsection
\stopsection
\stopchapter
\stoptext
```
Is there a way to fix this?

Ah ok, then both types of references are treated different.

[NTG-context] Couple of questions
Hi,
this is a rather long mail, but I'll add the answers to the wiki.
For the future: Should I write one mail per question or all in one? :)
1. Color of references and table of content:
How can I define/change the colors of references and the table of content? And
why are some references red and others green?
2. Own title format
I've set an own title format for chapters, like described in the wiki.
Unfortunately this applies to the table of contents and bibliography as well.
Below a minimal example, that reproduces it:
```
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\define[2]\MyChapter{\framed[frame=off,bottomframe=on,topframe=on]
{\vbox{\headtext{chapter} #1\blank#2}}}
\setuphead[chapter][command=\MyChapter, style={\switchtobodyfont[24pt,ss]},
header=empty, page=mychapterpagebreak]
\setupheadtext[chapter=Chapter, content=Table of Contents]
\starttext
\completecontent
\page[yes]
\startchapter[title=foo]
\stoptext
```
How can I prevent the printing of "Chapter" in the table of contents and
bibliography?
3. Text size in t-vim
I've defined a smaller text size in t-vim, but this seems to affect \inline...
as well. Is there a way to circumvent this?
Minimal example:
```
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\usemodule[t-vim]
\definevimtyping[python][syntax=python,
style={\switchtobodyfont[8pt,tt]},]
\starttext
\startpython
for line in foo:
print(line)
\stoppython
This is keyword \inlinepython{in} Python.
\stoptext
```
4. Captions of combinations
The wiki shows, how to completely autolabel figures in a combination with mkiv.
Is there a way to simply prefix the label with a), b), c),...?
Another related question: Is there a way to define the width and align of the
labels of a combination?
5. Numbering of floats
I want a numbering for my figures in this format:
way=bychapter, prefixsegments=chapter
I guess, this is the default, but I've explicitly set it.
In some captions the prefix is ignored. For example there are 5 figures in
chapter 2, then the captions of the figures (the text is in German) are:
Abbildung 2.1 foo
Abbildung 2.2 bar
Abbildung 3foobar
Abbildung 4otherfoo
Abbildung 5lastfoo
Is there anything, I can do, to prevent this?
6. Multiple references
I want to create the same footnote on multiple locations in the text.
Therefore I used:
```
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\starttext
This\footnote[letter-s]{"s" is a letter.} is\note[letter-s] a
nons\note[letter-s]ens\note[letter-s]e text.
\stoptext
```
But this uses different fonts for the number in the text. Is there a way to fix
this or do it better?

Thank you, this works much better (critic on high level: the sum symbol is
higher than the highlight box, relevant on fractions).

I've invested some time and rewrote parts of the vimscript file of t-vim.
Now one or more escapechars can be defined, that helps vim to not interpret
the text:
```
\usemodule[vim]
\definevimtyping[python][syntax=python]
\definevimtyping[cpp][syntax=cpp]
\starttext
\startpython
# Returns range(°\m{\sum_{i=1}^{n}i \in F \int_i f}°
def sum_upto(°\m{n \in \mathbb{N} \sum_{i=1}}°)
r = range(1, °\m{n}° + °\m{\sum_{i=1} 1}°)
return sum(r)
\stoppython
\startcpp
foobar(°\m{q_0}°);
\stopcpp
\stoptext
```
I'm not familiar enough with TeX or ConTeXt to get the TeX part to work, so
the escapechar '°' is hardcoded at the moment. If you like the patch, this
has to be fixed.
Another problem, as you see in the above example, is, that vim interprets
the second ')' in the startcpp section as color code "Error", so the whole
part is colorized. This can be circumventented with the escapechars '°"', but
I have no idea how to teach tex/lua to not interpret the '"'. Simply writing
-c "let escapechar='°\"'" %
etc. in the t-vim.tex does not work.
Another point I saw is, that highlight together with TeX-code is not really
usable:
```
\usemodule[vim]
\definevimtyping[python][syntax=python, escape=on]
\starttext
\startpython[highlight=1]
# Returns \m{\sum_{i=1}^{n}i \in F \int_i f}
\stoppython
\stoptext
```

[NTG-context] t-vim module: math in "normal" code and background color
Hi,
I have two questions with the vim module.
1. I want to use the math mode inside the code. I've seen the escape option,
e.g. here [1], but this seems to work only with comments. Is there a
possibility to use it directly in the code, too?
Minimal example:
```
\usemodule[vim]
\definevimtyping[python][syntax=python, escape=on]
\starttext
\startpython
# Returns \m{\sum_{i=1}^{n}i}
def sum_upto(\m{n \in \mathbb{N}})
r = range(1, \m{n} + 1)
return sum(r)
\stoppython
\stoptext
```
2. It would be cool, if I can define some background color for the code.
Unfortunately I'm very new to context and haven't seen a direct option. I
assume this is possible with some kind of extra environment around the code?
(I've subscribed the list, so you don't have to CC me.)
Thank you in advance,
Gerion
