Re: [NTG-context] Overlays as background in textbackground

This code from three years back ia a reply to a question of placing an overlay background. Because the cow is very black I am curious if the \externalfigure can have a paramter to change the alpha of the cow, making it more transparent. By the way, it is not out of curiosity only. If possible

Re: [NTG-context] xml expression error

234 in the arithmetic expression to number("-1234") (mind the quotes) does give a correctly evaluated expression. Still, I am baffled by the fact that in arithmetic expressions positive and negative numbers are treated differently in the filtering operation. Hans van der Meer On 29 Apr 2016, at 15:0

[NTG-context] convert old dvi files

I need to convert some old dvi files into pdf. One of the routes seems dvi --(dvips) ->- ps --> pdf But dvips (taken from the ConTeXt-beta distribution) complains "Couldn't find header file: tex.pro" Where can I find it? It doesn't seem present in the above mentioned distribution. Or is there a

Re: [NTG-context] smallcaps

Thanks. For those who are curious as to how I became confused about the uppercase-lowercase for smallcaps: look at session "803 Typography and Fonts" in Apple's WWDC2016 conference, just after 23 minutes and you will understand. Hans van der Meer On 29 Jun 2016, at 11:00, Wolfgang Schuster

Re: [NTG-context] \mainlanguage[pe]

When naming these macros I would recommend to not use abbreviations like \jday, \jdate but rather using more explicite names like for example \jalaliday. Otherwise confusion with \jdate as a date in the Julian calendar easily could result. Hans van der Meer > On 07 Jul 2016, at 23:28, Hans

[NTG-context] typeset page in page

I would like to typeset a page in small format (for example A5) and immediately put the result on the current page (for example in A4 format). In this way I can demo the result of some operations like variations in footnote parameters in a running text, etc. If this can be accomplished, how?

Re: [NTG-context] \showmathfontcharacters ?

Not more than 3 years ago the addition of \usemodule[math-10] solved the Undefined control sequence error for \showmathfontcharacters. But at least in ConTeXt ver: 2016.07.23 13:35 this problem cropped up again. Where is \showmathfontcharacters defined nowadays? Hans van der Meer > On 01 May

Re: [NTG-context] Slides/material from the Context User Meeting

Is there a list of the recently new and updated ones? Because to download all of the files on the overview page might be a massive overkill for me. Alas, the entries in the list do not have a production date attached. Hans van der Meer On 09 Oct 2016, at 17:19, Mohammad Hossein Bateni
