[NTG-context] Wikfication of \commalistsentence

[Andres Conrado Montoya via ntg-context]

I talked too soon. This won't work, and I have no idea why:


\setuplabeltext [en] [and-1={{, }}, and-2={{ and }}]% Should be:  1, 2
and 3
\setuplabeltext [es] [and-1={{, }}, and-2={{ y }}]% Should be: 1, 2 y 3
\setuplabeltext [de] [and-1={{, }}, and-2={{ und }}]  % Should be: 1, 2 und
3

\starttext
\commalistsentence[one,two,three,four] % works as expected

\language[es]
\commalistsentence[uno,dos,tres,cuatro] % takes [en] settings

\language[de]
\commalistsentence[1,2,3,4] % takes [en] settings.
\stoptext
%%

If I change \mainlanguage, the main language is used in all three cases.

[NTG-context] Macro for a comma separated list of authors

[Andres Conrado Montoya via ntg-context]

I'm trying to produce a document with several authors, using macros for
comma separated lists. My MWE is as follows:

%%
\def\autores{%
  {Luis David Gómez-Méndez, Ph. D.},
  {Adriana del Pilar Pulido-Villamarín, M. Sc.},
  {Rubiela Castañeda-Salazar, M. Sc.},
  {Juan Carlos Ulloa-Rubiano, Ph. D.},
  {Adriana Matiz-Villamil, M. Sc.}%
}

\def\lastAutor{Fidson Juarismy Vesga-Pérez, Ph. D}

\def\autorParaLista#1{#1;\space}
\def\listaAutores{\processcommacommand[\autores]\autorParaLista &
\lastAutor: autores.}

\starttext

\listaAutores

\stoptext
%%%

So far, no luck trying to extract the last item from a comma separated
list. That's the reason I created a "\lastAutor" macro, so I can treat the
last one differently.

This produces:

%%
Luis David Gómez-Méndez, Ph.D.; Adriana del Pilar Pulido-Villamarín, M.
Sc.; Rubiela Castañeda-Salazar, M. Sc.; Juan Carlos Ulloa-Rubiano, Ph.D.;
Adriana Matiz-Villamil, M. Sc.; & Fidson Juarismy Vesga-Pérez, Ph.D:
autores.
%%

However, what I'm trying to get is:

%%
Luis David Gómez-Méndez, Ph.D.; Adriana del Pilar Pulido-Villamarín, M.
Sc.; Rubiela Castañeda-Salazar, M. Sc.; Juan Carlos Ulloa-Rubiano, Ph.D.;
Adriana Matiz-Villamil, M. Sc. & Fidson Juarismy Vesga-Pérez, Ph.D: autores.
%%

Which is very close to what I need, except the ";" just before the "&". So
the question is: is it possible to do this in a more effective or simpler,
or better way, and write a macro that outputs something like "Author1;
Author2; Author3 & Author4: authors.", given a comma separated list of
authors?

[NTG-context] fixing indentation of xtable inside item

[Andres Conrado Montoya via ntg-context]

Considering the following MWE, I would like to know how I can get the table
inside the item to be aligned with the item. It seems the tabel takes the
width right, but it gets pushed to the left, disregarding the item's
indentation.

I think I read about this behaviour somewhere, but I have spent 4 hours
looking for it in the manuals and I can't find it. :(

Any help would be appreciated.

Re: [NTG-context] Missing images in Wiki?

[Andres Conrado Montoya Acosta]

This is one example:

https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/externalfigure

However, now I checked the source, and the image files are there... and
they are being correctly linked, but the image attributes width and height
are set to zero. Maybe something wrong with lazy loading?

Example in html code:

[NTG-context] Missing images in Wiki?

It seems a lot of image examples from the wiki are gone now. Most articles
lost many images. Is this on purpose?

[NTG-context] 3 questions about xtables after reading manuals

[Andres Conrado Montoya]

I've been trying out xtables and reading the manual, some things I can't
find how to do (or if it's possible on xtables):

1. How to align whole columns. It seems I have to add [align=middle] to
each cell I want to have centered in a raggedright aligned table. In
tabulate you can use [|l|c|] to do this, is it possible in xtables? Seems
weird if it's not. Or did I miss something?

2. I know how to use [option=stretch] to fill the textwidth, but can I make
specific columns "tight", so they don't get stretched beyond their content?

3. When I use [option=tight] sometimes columns are narrowed so much as to
break a line of 4 or 5 words. MWE:

%
\startplacetable[location=none]
%\startxtable[align={middle,lohi},option=tight] % This makes the first
column too narrow. Lines are not that long
\startxtable[align={middle,lohi}]
\startxtablehead[head]
\startxrow
\startxcell[align=right] \strong{Concepto}\crlf\small{Cifras en miles de
pesos} \stopxcell
\startxcell \strong{Dato} \stopxcell
\stopxrow
\stopxtablehead
\startxtablebody[body]

\startxcell[align=right] Fecha de emisión \stopxcell
\startxcell 30-mar-X6 \stopxcell
\stopxrow
\stopxtablebody
\stopxtable
\stopplacetable


Can I make this table to be "tight" but only so much as to allow "short
lines" (i.e: lines that don't make the table go wider than textwidth). I
can do it with manual width, but wondering if it's possible.

Thank you .

[NTG-context] "Nicefracs" hidden in math-frc.mkiv

[Andres Conrado Montoya]

Hello, list.

I Was checking out math-frc.mkiv to learn stuff, and found out that at the
end of that file, from line 673, there is a couple commented out macros to
generate "nice fractions'', i.e.: ½ (as in the LaTeX package nicefrac). Why
has this code been commented out? These are quite useful.

Re: [NTG-context] SILE typesetter and other projects

[Andres Conrado Montoya]

Hi Denis.

SILE seems interesting, aslo Patoline. However, I think both of these are
very immature, and I feel somewhat puzzled by the authors of SILE when they
say that you can't do grid typesetting on TeX without horrible hacks,
blatantly ignoring ConTeXt's achievements on the matter.

If you want to check an alternative typesetting system, I would tell you to
not look forward but backwards: groff/troff are alive and well, are very
mature, and you can find a lot of documentation and tutorials, even a
subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/groff/. I would recommend trying the
MOM macros for groff: http://www.schaffter.ca/mom/mom-01.html

[NTG-context] Regarding XML export and EPUB

[Andres Conrado Montoya]

Hello, list.
I've been experimenting with the export scripts and the instructions and
manuals you can find in:

https://wiki.contextgarden.net/XML
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Export
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Epub
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/ePub

This with the expectation of being able to make an epub file form a context
document that epubcheck can accept. I see there is an experimental support
for epub, and I have played around with the export options a bit. However,
what I would really want to know is. It's possible and if so, how can you
map context's elements so they can get translated to specific html tags? I
mean, the current export output uses divs with custom attributes and
classes, or custom tags; but I would like to map lists to ul, list-items to
li, headings to h1, h2, h3, paragraphs to  etc. In the manuals I see
that you can do the opposite: map xml/html tags to context's elements; I
wonder if you can go the other way around, and a good place to start
reading about it. Apologies if I missed something obvious.

Thank you.

[Andres Conrado Montoya]

Hi pablo, regaring 1) TeX assumes that each character is a variable on math
mode. You need to tell it that each "word" is, well, a "word":

\starttext
  \startitemize[packed]
  \item Valor actual neto: $\text{\em beneficios} - \text{\em costes}$. %
you can use typographical variations inside \text: \em, \bf, etc
  \item Beneficio por euro: $\frac{\text{\em beneficios}}{\text{\em
costes}}$.
  \item Beneficio obtenido el primer año.
  \stopitemize
\stoptext

2) will solve itself ather this. 3, I don't know.

take the default ebgaramond features. Just call your font with the name you

Hi Jano, as far as I can check with my pdf editors, it seems overprinting

Thanks Sylvain, but I have a lot of tables to edit...This may work, but I

[NTG-context] The correct way to add emphasis to text using italics

[Andres Conrado Montoya]

I've seen in several articles on the Wiki, some differences about how this
is done, and I'm confused about the differences:

*Font_Switching* says: "There is a font switch \em to emphasize text. This
is somewhat special: it does automatic italic correction and changes the
alternative depending on the current alternative. For example, if the
current font alternative is normal (i.e. upright), \em switches to slanted;
and if the current font alternative is slanted, \em switches to normal."
And using \definebodyfontenvironment[default][em=italic] to use italic
instead of slanted; for OpenType fonts, recommends using
\definefontfeature[default][default][itlc=yes] to also activate the italic
correction. However, this seems not to work in x(ht)ml export.

If you go to *Export*, it says: "Also note that switches like \em don’t
translate into output structure, you need to
\definehighlight[emph][style={\em}] and use as \emph{emphasized}." This is
what I'm currently using. Other parts of the Wiki show a similar solution,
but using style=italic, or style={\it}; I've seen others, but now I can't
find them.

Could you please guide me as to where is this documented in the manuals? Is
there any particular reason to choose any of these approaches above the
others? What is the recommended option if you want to have the \em
properties for emphasized text, but works for BOTH pdf and x(h)tml export?

Thank you for your time.

Re: [NTG-context] Can't output direct glyphs either in MKIV

[Andres Conrado Montoya]

Hi Taco, thanks for the input. Your example works, and produces the glyphs.
Pdf attached, I hope this system allows it (only 36.3 kB). "u101F2" is the
unicode name for the glyph. I would guess, according to what you told me,
that the code point would be "00024", but honestly, I have no idea. This
used to work some months ago.

[NTG-context] Can't output direct glyphs either in MKIV or LMTX

[Andres Conrado Montoya]

Hello list. I'm trying to call a direct glyph from the Phaistos font, but
it seems it doesn't work. The font is loaded, the log file says it so:

system  >   12: filename=/home/vantta/.fonts/Phaistos.otf
format=otf foundname=/home/vantta/.fonts/Phaistos.otf
fullname=/home/vantta/.fonts/Phaistos.otf usedmethod=direct

However, the glyph is not displayed in the pdf. I've tried both in MKIV and
LMTX with no luck. Maybe someone here will have a clue.

Re: [NTG-context] notes in the margin

[Andres Conrado Montoya]

I've been tinkering with this problem. It's kind of frustrating not having
a right solution for this.
After trying and failing to the last solution published by Hraban on
2018-02-12, I tried to implement my own approach, from the other way
around, I mean: not trying to implement notes as marginal material, but to
implement the *marginalia* as some type of notes. A different type, apart
from footnotes, with their own counter, etc.

Below, a MWE, with some caveats:.
1. This is a poor quality hack. I'm not a developer.
2. If notes are too long, they clash with each other. I tried to understand
the options that would allow me to move them up or down, according to the
Wiki (https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/inmargin), but they don't seem
to do anything, or I don't understand how to work with them. But if there
is actually a way to manually instruct \inmargin to move up or down, it
should be easy to make it work as an optional third argument, for example.
3. The counter introduces some horizontal space that I cant manage to
remove except by introducing manual negative \hspace. The MWE doesn't
include that space, to display the isse.
4.  There are probably a ton of issues I have not thought about, but this
seems to work for this project I'm working on, at least.

[NTG-context] Strange error updatng LMTX

When updating my LMTX installation today, I got this:

The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., '\hobx'), type 'I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., 'I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

Seems to affect the floats mechanism.

[NTG-context] Is it possible to define a float environment that uses 2 captions? (and another question)

[Andres Conrado Montoya]

I'm working on a book that uses tables and figures, but the editors want to
use to diffferent captions for each figure: one as usual, with the float
description and number, and another one with  a "Source" for said float.
Something like:

-
|   |
|   Float   |
|   |
-
Figure 1: The float description.
Source: The float source.

I know i can do it by hand, inserting line breaks in the caption and so on.
But I was wondering if there is a programmatic way to do it, so I can, for
example, change the "Caption" position to be above the float, but have the
"Source" below it. LIke:

Figure 1: The float description.
-
|   |
|   Float   |
|   |
-
Source: The float source.

I've been reviewing the Wiki, but so far I have no idea how to approach it.

Any recommendation will be very appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Re: [NTG-context] Typesetting Markdown – Part 5: Interpolation

[Andres Conrado]

Thank you. I still don't really understand why can't you have a
"presentational" yaml file and a "content" yaml file (I do it like that...
I have a "variables.yaml" file for content and a "settings.yaml" file for
presentational stuff, and use a "template.context" file with all my mapped
variables within the ConTeXt code, and compile everything using pandoc).
But I guess you want to do it this way. Or maybe I'm not really
understanding your process. It's quite interesting in any case, and I'm
learning a lot. Thanks for sharing.

Re: [NTG-context] Typesetting Markdown – Part 5: Interpolation

[Andres Conrado]

You can do it on the template... you can use a yaml variable to determine
if the toc should be printed or not. Like so:

yaml file:
---
toc: true
...

template file:
%%%
$if(toc)$
\completecontent
$endif$
%%%

Re: [NTG-context] Strange behavior in somewhat complex layout (again)

[Andres Conrado Montoya]

Wolfgang... Thank you, man. Thank you so very much. This works perfectly.

As I understand it from your correction, my mistake was that I was not
doing the page break before everything else, as I should, because in any
case there will always be a page break in my layout. Then, let the rest of
the algorithm decide if there will be a left or right page, headers and
footers, etc. Am I correct?

Thank you again for your work.

[NTG-context] Strange behavior in somewhat complex layout (again)

[Andres Conrado Montoya]

Hi List, it seems my message went unnoticed, if you can help me out, please
do. I'm an struggling with this layout.

I'm trying to make something using bits and examples found here and
elsewhere, but I'm hitting a wall. I know there's a flawed logic in my
approach, but I can't figure it out. Any help is appreciated.

Expected behavior of the following MWE:
When starting a new chapter, check if the page is even (left page), if so,
fill it with color, and start the chapter in the next odd page (right
page), removing the header but leaving the footer in that start-chapter
page; and if this is a start-chapter page, use a specific graphic overlay
for the page, but if if not (if its a regular page), use another graphic.

Result:
The header still appears in the start-chapter page, if it comes after the
color filled page. But, if the start-chapter page comes after a regular
(even) page, everything works as expected (no color-filled page, no header
in the start-chapter page).

Re: [NTG-context] is it useful to use the option "--fonts=all" when running first-setup-sh?

[Andres Conrado]

Tank you very much Pablo. I'll try that. They are proper latex fonts, tho,
so I'm no sure that will do. I also have a background i humanities and book
design, but I'm now making math books, go figure. It's very interesting
from a typographic point of view.

Now I'm more interested in seeing what happens with the last code I sent
here, in another message... "Strange behavior in somewhat complex layout"
Maybe nobody noticed it. I hope I can figure that out.

[NTG-context] Strange behavior in somewhat complex layout

[Andres Conrado Montoya]

Hello list, I'm trying to make something using bits and examples found here
and elsewhere, but I'm hitting a wall. I know there's a flawed logic in my
approach, but I can't figure it out. Any help is appreciated.

Expected behavior of the following MWE:
When starting a new chapter, check if the page is even (left page), if so,
fill it with color, and start the chapter in the next odd page (right
page), removing the header but leaving the footer in that start-chapter
page; and if this is a start-chapter page, use a specific graphic overlay
for the page, but if if not (if its a regular page), use another graphic.

Result:
The header still appears in the start-chapter page, if it comes after the
color filled page. But, if the start-chapter page comes after a regular
(even) page, everything works as expected (no color-filled page, no header
in the start-chapter page).

Re: [NTG-context] ntg-context Digest, Vol 180, Issue 23

[Andres Conrado]

Thanks, Pablo. I am assuming I need to have Utopia installed in my usual
font folder. I tried with Erewhon (I have otf files for that) and it works.
Thank you.

In a related note, is there any reasonable way to use the latex math font *Math
Times Pro 2* (https://www.pctex.com/mtpro2.html)? I know a latex user who
bought that font and I wonder if I can convince him to get on the ConTeXt
boat.

[NTG-context] is it useful to use the option "--fonts=all" when running first-setup-sh?

[Andres Conrado Montoya]

As the subject says. I've been experimenting with having a by-project
context folder, so I can have a "frozen" version for each project. I see
there's an option to install more fonts (including utopia, useful for a
project I'm working on). However, I have no idea how to use these fonts.
Are they available in mkiv? only for mkii? Do we have typescripts for those
fonts? If so, how are they called? Are those fonts actually usable or are
they just remains from a past era?

Thank you for your time.

Re: [NTG-context] Using MTPro2 math Fonts with ConTeXt

[Andres Conrado Montoya]

Thank you for your tips. I'm using Linux. }

However, as I researched the matter, it seems to me is not a trivial
task... these fonts were made with LaTeX/Plain TeX in mind. I don't even
know how I would implement the font options (like mtpfrak, mtpcal, etc).
The font comes with two versions: Type1 and TFM (no afm). I converted from
Type1 to AFM using fontforge, and the fonts script detects the files
but I have no idea how to use them. It seems it doesn't detect the fonts as
part of a family... I don't even know where I could start to make this
work. Maybe I will stick to LaTeX for the time being.

Thank you for your time.

[NTG-context] Using MTPro2 math Fonts with ConTeXt

[Andres Conrado Montoya]

Hello, List.

I am using the MTPro2 complete fonts (provided by the publisher house) for
typesetting some math books in LaTeX this year. I also want to use ConTeXt
to typeset other math books, those that don't come originally in LaTeX.
However, the publisher requires that I use the MTPro2 fonts for math, and
I've tried using the clues presentend in https://mailman.ntg.nl/
pipermail/ntg-context/2013/075938.html to install, but with no avail. Fonts
were placed in "context/tex/texmf-local", preserving folder structure;
"mtxrun --generate && mtxrun --script fonts --reload" was called after.
When that didn't work, tried placing the type1 and tfm folders in my fonts
folder (that is called by OSFONTDIR), and again, reload the fonts, but they
just don't figure in the list provided by "mtxrun --script fonts --list
--all --name --pattern=*". I have not found a way of using this font in
ConTeXt, and I really need it (or will be just LaTeX for now).

Thanks in advance.

Re: [NTG-context] Newbie needs help getting started

[Andres Conrado]

If you use other TeX distribution (TeXlive, MikTeX), you will have
conflicts because your system doesn't know how to differentiate between
your current TeX distro binaries, and Context's binaries, so, the system
will use different (non-compatible) versions of a lot of things, and will
use the first executables found in the PATH. I have both texlive and
context, but configuring them to work well together, took me a while. I use
a couple of custom .bat files to invoke context's path ONLY when I compile
Context files, but use the defaults for textworks when I complile LaTeX
files.

What I did was:
1. Your same steps 1-3.
2. Created a folder called C:/context/pragmatex/
3. Inside that folder I placed two files: PRAGMATEX.BAT and SETPATH.BAT
(contents below)
4. Add C:\context\pragmatex\ to the PATH variable (so the two mentioned
files can be found by the system)
5. Configure TeXworks:
  5.1. Open TW and go to Edit  Preferences
  5.2  Select Compilation tab
  5.3  In that Window, in the field Location of TeX and related programs
(or something like that, the name can be slightly different. I use the
Spanish version), add (using the button marked +) the folder
C:\context\pragmatex\
  5.4  In the same window, below, select ConTeXt (LuaTeX), and click edit.
  5.5  In Program add C:/context/pragmatex/pragmatex.bat (without
quotes).
  5.6  In Parameters just add $fullname (without quotes) if it's not
already there.

The contents of the two mentioned files (just plain old .bat files, can be
created on notepad):

**
pragmatex.bat
**
@echo off
call C:\context\pragmatex\setpath.bat
context --synctex=zipped --autogenerate %1 --purgeall
**

**
setpath.bat
**
@echo off
C:\context\tex\setuptex.bat C:\context\tex
**

Hope this helps. Is a very crappy setup, but it works for me. You can adapt
it however you like.

Re: [NTG-context] ConTeXt epub workflow

[Andres Conrado]

I've been using a workflow to generate epub + PDF for several books so far,
and in my experience, using Markdown base files is very good: you can
include images, links, etc., and then you can use pandoc (
http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/) to generate both epub and context
source, also you can customize the templates used by pandoc to generate the
context source; that way you can handle the pdf layout; however, you must
remember that epub can't handle mathml; you must include equations as
images, if you have them, and you won't have any real presentational
features: epub is as simple as it can be. Like HTML in the early 90s. But
this way works for me.

So, it seems that this configuration worked (more or less), to avoid:
Widows, Orphans, 3 or more consecutive hyphens, and final hyphens.

\setpenalties\widowpenalties{1}{1}

[NTG-context] About Hyphenation

[Andres Conrado Montoya]

Hi List, I am very grateful with you all. Thanks for all the teaching.
Sorry if the message is too long.

I have read in several places that the commands \doublehyphendemerits and
\finalhyphendemerits are not a real way of dealing with the design issue
of too many hyphens in a row and/or avoiding a hyphen at the end of a page.
I have found that \doublehyphendemerits just avoids TWO hyphens in a row,
but not three or four, etc., and \finalhyphendemerits just doesn't work. I
have read the code, the wiki, the mail list, and the manuals, but with no
success yet. I'm working with grid, and using a widow/orphan control macro
found here on this list:


\setupalign[verytolerant,stretch,lesshyphenation,hz,hanging]

 \startsetups[grid][correcto]
  \setups[*reset]
\setpenalties\widowpenalties{1}{1}
\setpenalties\clubpenalties{1}{1}
\setpenalties\brokenpenalties{1}{2}
 \stopsetups

\doublehyphendemerits=2
\finalhyphendemerits=2

\setuplayout
[backspace=10.3ex,
width=62ex,
 topspace=10.3ex,
height=124ex,
header=1em,
headerdistance=1em,
 footer=1em,
footerdistance=2em,
margindistance=1em,
 grid=yes,
setups=correcto]


As a book designer, one of my dreams is migrate all my work to ConTeXt, and
stop using adobe products; I think ConTeXt is a very good design tool.
However, this obstacle is frustrating that dream in part. I know that you
may say this hyphenation issue is a matter of taste! is not important!
but all the publishers I have worked with in the last 15 years have
emphasized that rule over and over again. I'm Colombian, so, I design books
mainly in spanish, and in spanish editions is a very common rule to avoid
more than 2 hyphens in a row. I understand that there are similar rules in
french, and I have read some discussions about it, but mostly the thread
finishes with something similar to use ragged right align and forget
hyphens (see http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg68899.html).

So, questions are:
1. Is there any definitive way of avoiding 2 or more hyphens on a row AND
hyphens at the end of a page?
2. If is not, and it seems that is not (see
http://latex-community.org/know-how/latex/55-latex-general/475-e-tex#line-breaking)
how
do you manage? Do you just let hyphens be? Do you avoid hyphens using
\unhyphenated or \mbox by hand? No problem, if it's the standard solution,
but I think there should be some mechanism to avoid (n+) hyphens on a row,
something like \maxadjhyphens[2]. Is this impossible / too difficult? If it
is, I'm sorry for bothering you. I just really want to work with ConTeXt. I
have done a couple books for myself, to learn, but I want to take this into
production, and this single issue, so insignificant you may see it, is very
important for me, and I'm sure that other designers would find it very
important too.

Thank you all for your time.

[NTG-context] A very simple macro that does not work...

[Andres Conrado]

Hello, list. Also posted this to:

ConTeXt version: 2013.06.10 22:51

MWE:

% this doesn't work...
\stoptext


Error message:system   tex  error on line 5 in file

Any ideas? Maybe is something stupid, but it doesn't work. I have
other `\define` commands in the same file and they work very well.

Re: [NTG-context] PDF-Toc text is wrong for new \start? commands

Have you tried formatting it this way:

Breaking before closing or after opening the square braces has always

 Subject: [NTG-context] Some questions about the letter module
 Message-ID:
 caktwfunnw35z4uqnmrwwv-yjuavo7vxeuta2qthzvk4phgi...@mail.gmail.com
 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1

 Dear all,

 (This is a repeat post. I apologize if that's rude, but I would appreciate
 some assistance with the letter module or a pointer to documentation.
 Thanks.)


 I am using the letter module that came with context.   A sample of a basic
 letter is below; I have put in dummy for the logo and the signature, but
 these are working fine when I include the files.

 I have several questions:

1. to center the footer.
2. to lower the  footer (closer to the bottom of the page)
3. to delete the word Date above the date.
4. to put the date *above *the recipient address (and how in general do
I adjust the vertical space here).
5. to left-justify the date.
6. to control the foldmarks (for US-letter-size paper, omit, etc.)

 I have consulted http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Letter but there are many
 things I don't understand.   What is the meaning  of alternative=example;
 what is the option preset=  in \setuplayer[foot] ?

 Also is there a better way to manage color?  I \definecolor, \startcolor,
 \stopcolor, but maybe there is a better way to indicate that certain
 sections of the letter should be in a color.  Thanks.

 Thank you very much for your guidance.

 Yours,
 Michael

[NTG-context] Possible bug with new \start ... \stop way for title, chapter, subject, etc.?

[Andres Conrado Montoya]

I was trying to implement the solution provided by this thread:
http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg51152.html and it
works very well. However, finding a problem related to this
implementation, I found that the output of the new \start ... \stop
versions of the title, section, chapter, subject, etc. commands is
different from the old \title, \chapter, \subject, etc.
As you can see in the following MWE, the new implementation indents
the first paragraph of the given section, by some amount (even
different from the default for paragraphs).

Is this a bug or a new feature that I don't understand?

Re: [NTG-context] Auto selecting optical sizes for a font

[Andres Conrado Montoya]

Thank you so much, Hans. :) It works great!.

I must agree, however, with Georg's considerations. I am very grateful
for the current solution, but an automatic selection of optical sizes
could be insanely good, from a book designer point of view (I'm a book
designer). Just for the curious, these are some links that go deeper
in the theme of Optical Sizes for Typography:

[NTG-context] Auto selecting optical sizes for a font

[Andres Conrado Montoya]

Hello friends.
I'm trying to design a book using the typescript you can find at the
end of this message. I'm using the beautiful EBGaramond fonts from
Georg Duffner (http://www.georgduffner.at/ebgaramond/). This font
provides optical sizes to be used in different sizes (named 12 for
10.1pt or more, and 8 for 10 or less. These fonts automatically work
as expected in latex, thanks to a recent package included in CTAN
(ebgaramond package), selecting the correct font for the appropriate
size. However, the typescript I'm using selects the 8 size for
everything, without taking the type size into consideration. Is there
any way to make ConTeXt do this automatic selection of fonts regarding
of type size? I'm using version 2013.06.10 22:51.

Here is my example:

%%%
\enableregime[utf-8]
\mainlanguage[es]
\setupcapitals[sc=yes]

\definefontfeature[default][default]
[mode=node,calt=yes,liga=yes,dlig=yes,hlig=yes,ccmp=yes,kern=yes,mark=yes,mkmk=yes,onum=yes,pnum=yes,salt=yes,size=yes,expansion=quality,protrusion=quality]

\definefontfeature[smallcaps][smallcaps]
[mode=node,script=latn,smcp=yes,c2sc=yes,calt=yes,liga=yes,dlig=yes,hlig=yes,ccmp=yes,kern=yes,mark=yes,mkmk=yes,onum=yes,pnum=yes,salt=yes,size=yes,expansion=quality,protrusion=quality]

\starttypescript[serif][ebgaramond]
  \setups[font:fallback:serif]
  \definefontsynonym [EBGaramond-Regular][name:EBGaramond-Regular]
  \definefontsynonym [EBGaramond-Italic] [name:EBGaramond-Italic]

  \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [EBGaramond-Italic]

  \definefontsynonym [SerifCaps]   [Serif]
[features=smallcaps]
\stoptypescript

\definetypeface[ebg][rm][serif][ebgaramond][default]
\setupbodyfont[ebg,12pt]
\setupbodyfontenvironment[default][em=italic]

\setupinterlinespace[line=3.2ex]

Re: [NTG-context] A problem with autopunctuation

[Andres Conrado]

In dont't really know why you think it should render differently.
Everything TeX is supposed to ignore white spaces in math, AFAIK.
If you want a space in math, you need to force it, like this:

\setupmathematics[autopunctuation=yes]

\starttext

$(2,\ 5)$ versus $(2,\ 5)$

 Hello!

  It would be REALLY NICE if the functionality of pathrelativetome was
  provided by ConTeXt.
 
  in file-job.lua add around the function 'process':
 
  local function toppath()
  [...]
 
  \component toppath:/subpath/somefile.tex

 Works like a charm, Hans! Sorry I took so long to test...
 I copied file-job.lua from the GIT repository, and changed my tex
 files to use toppath:/path/to/file.

 For example:
