Re: [NTG-context] \documentvariable (used in environment)
Thank you all.
No modes, no funniness in the environment file.
The test case works (Acroread/properties shows the Title, Author,
Subject, and Keywords fields). However, my real case does get the other
fields (Author, Subject, and Keywords) but contains in the Title field
the filename (without the .tex extension) of the main file (and
filename.tex under File).
I'll chase it down...

Thank you, Wolfgang.
The above example does work. It fails to set the metadata if one moves the \setupdocument
to an environment file. As you write, "everything has to be in the same file".
The requirement was only necessary for the example to check if the metadata end
up in the PDF file. You could have a environment file for \setupdocument but
the goal here was to check the resulting metadata in the PDF.
This is my question, how to set these using an environment file, thus NOT the
same file as the \startdocument in a project structure.
The problem is something in your environment/style file which causes a problem
with the \setupdocument setup. What you should do to find the sulprit is:
1. Make a copy of your document
2. Remove all text between \startdocument and \stopdocument and add some dummy
text (like in my example) to ensure ConTeXt produces a PDF
3. Remove setups from your environment (but keep the \setupdocument setup) file
until the metadata appears in the PDF
A typical case if something in an environment doesn’t work, but in a single
file: Are there modes involved? Maybe your \setupdocument is within a
\startmode ... \stopmode that doesn’t get activated.
Best, Hraban

[NTG-context] \documentvariable (used in environment)
Hello,
I have put the following in an environment
\startenvironment MYENVIRONMENT
\setupdocument
[metadata:title={\documentvariable{title}},
metadata:subtitle={\documentvariable{subtitle}},
metadata:author={\documentvariable{author}},
metadata:keywords={\documentvariable{keywords}}]
\stopenvironment
and correct use would be
\environment MYENVIRONMENT
\startdocument [title={My title}]
\stopdocument
because, of course, the environment contains more than \setupdocument
such as font loading that should be done before the \startdocument.
The metadata does not get set properly, having to do with expansion or
other notions of TeX that I never seem to get right. What might be the
proper way of handling this?
Thank you

textext() is actually textext@#()
so you can use textext.top() for example
to put the *bottom* of the text bounding box at y=0.
Without any @# suffix, the text bounding box gets centered at y=0.
Metafun has a few *new* suffixes defined, so you can use
textext.d(), textext.dlft(), textext.drt(), I BELIEVE,
to position with respect to the tex baseline.
(you need to check this).

I am looking for a simple and obvious way of setting header and footer texts. The \setupheadertexts has limitations and I view this as historical, for ConTeXt commands have evolved over time usually towards better solutions, even if we leave in place for reasons of backward compatibility habits that can be hard to quit. One example is \setuppapersize [page=letter,paper=letter] (sorry, and I *do* much prefer A4). This is, I believe, far superior to \setuppapersize [letter] [letter] Do you find that keys in \setupheader make sense? If so, what choice? (as we like to limit the proliferation of key names).

Indeed, a double-sided (asymmetric) document.

Well, what would make sense?
I would have no problem dropping/ignoring this (historic) command.
How about:
\setupheader [left=,leftodd=,middle=,...]
\setupfooter
or
\setupheader [lefttext=,leftoddtext=,middletext=,...]
This would be logical.

[NTG-context] \setupheadertexts \setupfootertexts
Hello,
\setupheadertexts [{center}]
sets a centered header (and wipes-out any left and right header)
\setupheadertexts [{left}] [{right}]
sets the left and right headers (and keeps the centered header)
\setupheadertexts [{left odd}] [{right odd}] [{left even}] [{right even}]
sets the left and right headers for even and odd pages
(perhaps I have this backwards?)
(1) It would be useful to have
\setupheadertexts [{left}] [{center}] [{right}]
but this does not work.
In this case, we probably also need a *six* argument version (even/odd).
(2) It would also be useful that
\setupheadertexts [{center}]
NOT wipe-out left and right if they are set
(but I could live with this perhaps historical behavior if we were to have (1).)
(3) It is a bit messy that one must use
\setupheader []
\setupheader [left] [right]
*two calls* in order to have no centered header.
(Again, I could live with
\setupheader [left] [] [right]
if we were to have (1).)
Similarly for footertexts, of course.
What is the reasoning, presently?
ALTERNATIVELY (or additionally), we could have
\setupheadertexts [center={center},
left={left},
lefteven={left, even},
...]
which would be even cleaner.
Thanks,
Alan

Also, \setuphighlight [emphasis] [style=bold] and

Re: [NTG-context] reference containing parentheses causes trouble
This is why it is always a good idea to preface references with a

LaTeX compatibility is desired (by some)
1) when new to Context, coming from LaTeX and learning a new system;
2) for ConTeXt users who are *required* to sometimes use LaTeX,
for example in submissions to journals etc. that accept LaTeX but
cannot handle Context sources.
One gets over the first case rather quickly and then there is no
going back: the philosophies are so different.
In the second case, I restrict myself to a strict use of the journal's
own template (for example with revtex), never asking for anything more
nor anything less.
In a third situation of editors who give lip service to accepting TeX
submissions, I give them plain text for they are going to re-key in
everything in any case. I provide them with a pdf that they can use
to correct their markup.

I suppose you mean the APS setup when NO date field is given
("to be published" for an article, "in press" for a book, and
"unpublished" otherwise)?
You can redefine the setup btx:aps:nd (no date) to give something else,
but you might have to go further not to get empty parenthesis.
A better solution, using the APS specification is to have a correct
database. Maybe a different publication type category might be more
appropriate.

It will trigger a page break if there is not enough space "here".
In fact, "force" is enough, no need for "here":

In fact, when I used makecirc.mp, I just commented out the following few lines

%LaTeXsetup:=LaTeXsetup &

As you can have multiple references:
\cite[righttext={p.~101,p.301}[Hankins2014,Starostin2019]
If one wants an explicit comma in the text for each citation,
one needs to add extra grouping:
\cite[righttext={{, p.~101}}][Hankins:2014]

This is a consequence of command=\Word, set for titles. Try
\setupbtx [apa:list:title] [command=]
Explanation: APA specification asks for Words of the title to be capitalized.
If you write your bib dataset correctly (title words capitalized), having
command={\Word}, is unnecessary.
Why \Word capitalizes \high{ème} is another question - it is only so
sophisticated. Indeed, I do not know if it Capitalizes a Title Correctly
According to English Rules, not capitalizing articles and prepositions…
Furthermore, this mania of capitalizing titles is NOT the practice in French,
so I would set command=, for titles of works in French.
By the way, btx admits:
title:fr={Histoire géographie EMC 5\high{ème}, cycle 4},
title:en={Geographical History EMC 5\high{th}, 4\high{th} cycle},
to be used advantageously in multi-lingual documents or multi-lingual use of a
single bibliography database.

You can install the standalone Context distribution anywhere you want, in parallel with your OS package manager version. Both can very peacefully coexist. To select or use your standalone version, simply add its bin path (i.e. $CONTEXTROOT/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin) at the front of your PATH. One strategy could be to keep a version of the standalone distribution in your project directory, even having multiple versions, one per project. This has the advantage that if one does not update the distribution it will always work with the project files, that is any future changes to Context will not affect the compiling of the project sources, for each project holds its own (frozen) version of Context. In this case, your path can be: export PATH=./context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin:$PATH so that it will select whatever is in the context subdirectory of the current directory. (you can also use this PATH scheme adding a (soft)link in a project directory to whatever context distribution you like, or none, in which case it will fall-back on the system-installed texlive version.)

The APS style definitions currently expect:
"author", "collaboration", "organization"
and, indeed, if there is none, it should not include the comma.
So the texdefinition (in publ-imp-aps.mkvi) should be changed to:
\starttexdefinition unexpanded btx:aps:author
\btxdoif {author} {
\btxflush{author}
\btxcomma
}
\stoptexdefinition
Secondly, why do you expect not to have (unpublished)?
The APS style guides suggest that unpublished material
should be labeled "unpublished" or "private communication".

Sorry, it is now:

\chemical{text}
\chemical{text}{below}
\chemical{text}{above}{below}
\stopchemicalformula
and it can be enclosed in
\startplacechemical

\stopplacechemical

In the APA specification (publ-imp-apa.mkvi), we have

Of course, you can always specify other dimensions, in which case it gets scaled. Since what counts for our use in Context is usually fixing a particular size, i.e. [width=\textwidth], the "resolution", i.e. density in pixels is something that we want to control. So if we want to print to 300 dpi, for example, and we have a text width of 17cm, say, then we would like to have an image that is some 2000 pixels in width. One can normalize one's collection of images however one wishes, but manipulating them on the fly as one changes layout or image placement hardly seems efficient, even if one were to be clever in storing copies and looking at time stamps. A little bit of forethought might be better, and more predictable.

TikZ was designed for latex, although it has always made a great effort to remain open to context. Nevertheless, it does calculations in TeX, hardly ideal. Furthermore, MP solves (linear) equations which is very, very useful in creating drawings.

My working solution is to put figures in subdirectories by resolution,
that is externally, once and for all, using whatever is your favorite tool
to "degrade" pixel resolution to whatever value one desires, then setting
global macro (\FigRes) to this subdirectory name.
So, for example,
\def\FigRes{300/}
...
\externalfigure [\FigRes MyFigureName]
I do this as I have *very* high resolution images as my source
(also high resolution "depth", i.e. 16 bit) and it makes no sense
to include these as is in my documents.
It's very robust.

Now, this is really interesting \starttext \textbar x\textbar \stoptext produces |x| as seen by acroread, mupdf, evince, ... on the Mac BUT shows | | with preview and with skim (which uses the Apple pdf rendering engine). Thus, the Apple *bug* is perverse. (Would another Mac user confirm this.) Using \textbar is fine as a fallback, but much less convenient (and readable) than a shorthand. Two questions: 1) $\|$ SHOULD produce ‖ according to the TeXbook, so we cannot dispute Knuth's choice. \| may be undefined in the bible for textmode, but logic would have it also yield ‖ in a text font. 2) I guess | is active in text mode (and used as a delimiter in column specifications, for example, i.e. \starttabulate [|l|l|]). I have always felt a bit uncomfortable with this, having in a far past come from LaTeX practice where it defined a vertical line. Our solution in ConTeXt is to use UTF-8 input, so ‖ for a double vertical bar. Therefore, | SHOULD produce a single vertical bar, thus it should not be active. Is this possible?

Re: [NTG-context] Bug in math: version
Not just the latest beta ... and indeed according to the TeXbook this should be
a vertical double bar (\Vert), in math mode.
I wish to point out that | in text font (text mode) is different from | in math
font (math mode). I noticed that Preview (on the mac) *fails* to render the
math font $|$ whereas \| in text mode does get rendered in Preview or printed
from Preview (my document used dejavu fonts). Other pdf renderers on the mac

Thank you
\definefont[MyFont][file:myfont.ttf]
\scale[width=.5\textwidth]{\MyFont My Font!}
can be used for example in a header or footer element, and this is minimal and
simple.

[NTG-context] definefontfamily use
Hello,
Previously, in order to make punctual use of a true-type font in a title for
example, I did the following:
\definefontfamily [myfont] [serif] [myfont]
where myfont.ttf is located in the current project directory, and selecting the
font was simply
{\switchtobodyfont[myfont]My Font!}
Using the present context, this yields the error
selectfont > The requested font 'myfont' has no files for the 'tf'
alternative, Latin Modern is used instead.
What has changed and what should be the proper use?
(I have tried setting explicitly [tf=file:myfont.ttf], which was only a guess.)

I have found, in my limited use (and understanding) of lua for data analysis is that it is indeed VERY fast, and not only beats python without comparison, it also handles quite large data sets without choking. It has become fashionable to use hardware GPUs to speed-up parallel calculation tasks, and this is now often done using libraries having python bindings.
