You just copied the binaries from another computer? That doesn’t work.
Download the arm64 binaries from

Thank you, that works.
I thought I tried that, but probably forgot the braces.


What is the purpose of the argument for \TODO when you don't use it?


I simplified too much, the actual definition is (now):

\define[1]\TODO{\inouter{\tt\color[ColTodo]{TODO}}\expanded{\todos{\structurevariable{title}}}\color[ColTodo]{\bf

[NTG-context] expansion of section title

[Henning Hraban Ramm via ntg-context]

I think I had a good idea how to keep an overview of the “todos” in my 
book project:


\defineregister[todos]

% add a "todos" index entry with the current section title
\define[1]\TODO{\todos{\structurevariable{title}}}

\chapter{Something}
\TODO{This is still empty!}

% at the end of the book
\chapter{work list}
\placetodos


But the section title is always "work list" in the "todos" index.
I guess I need some expansion and tried \expanded, \safeexpanded, 
\expandoneargafter, \fullexpandoneargafter, but probably not in the 
right place.


How does this work?

If you enable \setuplayout[grid=yes], lines get placed correctly.
Also floats work well (here and top).

But some columnsetspans still disappear, and footnotes get overwritten.

I really like Optima, and what I really like about it is the 'flared style'.

But I would like to move to a flared-sans font that gives me more 
licensing freedom. I haven't been able to find one after extensive 
searching. The only one who were reasonably priced (not free) were the 
URW Classico ones in Adobe Creative Cloud, but those can only be used in 
Adobe programs like InDesign (and not TeX).


I found some flared-sans fonts, but not one with at least regular, 
italic, bold, and bold-italic.


Is there really not a single flared-sans font that is /really/ free (so 
also for commercial use) to use out there?


How about Libertinus Sans?

It looks like every paragraph has been run through par.

This does not seem to create paragraphs with more lines, but they create 
a very odd, choppy page. It does not prevent hyphenation, and sometimes 
introduces it where none was present before.


Did I miss a change?


I found the same problem with a \definedescription; a workaround was to 
add "wide,hyphenated" to the alignment.

normally you will use "inner*" and "outer*" placement there as in other

I have one macro to place an page-width image with bleed, it uses 
\placefigure[top] and then \offset to move the image, so that it starts 
with bleed on the top side and with/without on the left side depending 
on a parameter that I change manually if the page breaking changes. The 
caption must stay within the type area – that works so far.
But it shouldn’t be necessary to define left/right manually, and that’s 
my question: if these \doifs work correctly within a float placement.

\showframe

\starttext

\startplacefigure[location=page,title={Pagefloat}]
\framed[width=\textwidth,height=.75\textheight]{TEST}

If the page float is placed before a title, the next section starts

Get rid of the here keyword and use only force, you can't use both at 
the same time
and one gets ignored (depends whatever is first checked in the float 
mechanism).


I seem to remember it used to work and was even suggested. Then I’d 
consider it a bug/regression.


Does {bottom,force} make sense?

I’m using a fresh context installation (2023.05.08 17:39) on Windows. 
I’ve see a couple of others had/have( ?) the same issue. It does not

Is there anything I should do to make this work?


While --install only works within the "tex" directory, --list should 
work regardless of current directory.


Can mtxrun find other scripts, like "fonts"?

After a new installation, I usually need a new terminal window, 
otherwise the PATH is wrong or something like that.

The metadata for your module looks good, except the missing license.

Re: [NTG-context] Is there a way to centrally add a list of indexed items to a sub category?

As I understand, if you use \index{animals+dogs}, it will place dogs as 
a sub-category of dogs.


Is there any way to control this centrally, for instance:

\addtosub[animals]{dogs, cats, snails}
\addtosub[plants]{flowers, trees}

Such a way would make it so \index{dogs} places an entry for "dog" under 
"d" and "animals --> dogs" under "a".


I’d suggest to cook your own macro, e.g. for a book with a lot of person 
index entries, I used a lookup table to unify different spellings or 
name changes (married, titles etc.) like this:


"""% environment:
\loadluafile[lookups] % Index lookups

\defineregister[Person][]
\defineprocessor[italics][style=italicface]
\define[1]\Passim{\emph{passim}}
\defineprocessor[passim][command=\Passim]

\define[1]\nPerson{%
  \expanded{\Person{\ctxlua{userdata.Lookup("#1")}}}%
}

\define[1]\TPerson{%
  \expanded{\Person[kursiv->]{\ctxlua{userdata.Lookup("#1")}}}%
}#1}
\define[1]\nCPerson{\expanded{\Person[italics->]{\ctxlua{userdata.Lookup("#1")%
\define[1]\TCPerson{\expanded{\Person[italics->]{\ctxlua{userdata.Lookup("#1")}}}#1}%
"""

"""lookups.lua:
userdata = userdata or { }

userdata.Lookups = {
…
  ["Pauline, geb. Fichtner Erdmannsdörfer"] = "Erdmannsdörfer, Pauline, 
geb. Fichtner",

  ["Pauline Erdmannsdörfer"] = "Erdmannsdörfer, Pauline, geb. Fichtner",
  ["Pauline Erdmannsdörfer-Fichtner"] = "Erdmannsdörfer, Pauline, geb. 
Fichtner",

…
}

function userdata.Lookup(name)
   context(userdata.Lookups[name] or name)
end
"""

In a similar way you could setup an \Animal macro to use a lookup table 
how the entry should get indexed.

[Howto]
* No special software installation required; most modern browsers should 
work (WebRTC required).

* Open the above URL, accept the privacy statement,
* enter your name,
* click "join" (or "start" if you’re the first),
* click "with microphone", allow your browser to access it, check the 
audio.
* Your microphone is muted if you join. Activate microphone and/or 
camera with the buttons at the bottom.

* Minimize the default presentation with the "screen" button, bottom right.

* If you’d like to share your screen or upload a file, you can make 
yourself the presenter: Click on your user name, change the setting, 
then you’ll see the "screen sharing" button beside the camera button; 
also there’s now "manage presentations" behind the "plus" button.
Beware there is only one presenter at a time, so don’t kill someone 
else’s presentation.


[Technical hints]
* Sound is usually better if you use a headset (less noise for everyone).

* Connection problems are mostly due to low bandwidth or high latency on 
your side, e.g. with mobile connections.

* If audio/video doesn’t work for you, you can still use the text chat.
* Screen sharing needs a lot of bandwidth.

* BigBlueButton documentation applies: 
https://bigbluebutton.org/teachers/tutorials/


[Netiquette]
* Please use a name that we recognize from here. Some feel uncomfortable 
with anonymous lurkers.

* Mute your microphone while you’re not talking.
* It’s nice to show your face at least when you join.
* If there are connection problems, stop camera sharing.
* The room is set to “everyone’s a moderator“, I trust you...

For the moment I disable a few badly packages zips:

metaducks, sudoku, aquamints, simpleslides

as they put files in the root and their own directories and I am not 
adding a zip-root remover and additional checkers.


I regard it good practice to have README, LICENSE and VERSION files in 
the root. A public git repository without these is incomplete, and if we 
use the zip/tgz packaging of platforms like github or gitea (codeberg), 
we can’t exclude them.

The installer script could just ignore/delete them.

of course

concerning precission, indeed there was a real beautiful handcrafted

median outcome esp after the main sample was made beforehand by 
carefully checking some resources; it was nice to see how most 
attendents properties fit the bill


I thought maybe a play on precision vs. precession

(Alan will be pleased to know that actually the Thumb was the starting 
point which happens to be close to an inch and the oid Dutch measure is 
Duim.)


I understand that the rule of thumb is the rule of 1/11 feet in Amsterdam.

ps. So 'I didn’t understand all details' is quite okay because the idea 
was to put you on the wrong foot (or theodore). It helps when you knwo 
the people involved, does it?


I know it’s not funny to explain jokes, but I don’t seem to know all

[NTG-context] regular online meet-up

[Henning Hraban Ramm via ntg-context]

You’re invited to join on Wednesday, May 10th, 15:00 CEST (UTC+2)

at https://lecture.senfcall.de/hen-rbr-rku-oke
(same, but shorter: https://v34h.de/ctxmtg)

ConTeXt users of all levels are welcome!

Next meeting will be on June 14th.



(Same blurb as every time:)

[Howto]
* No special software installation required; most modern browsers should 
work (WebRTC required).

* Open the above URL, accept the privacy statement,
* enter your name,
* click "join" (or "start" if you’re the first),
* click "with microphone", allow your browser to access it, check the audio.
* Your microphone is muted if you join. Activate microphone and/or 
camera with the buttons at the bottom.

* Minimize the default presentation with the "screen" button, bottom right.

* If you’d like to share your screen or upload a file, you can make 
yourself the presenter: Click on your user name, change the setting, 
then you’ll see the "screen sharing" button beside the camera button; 
also there’s now "manage presentations" behind the "plus" button.
Beware there is only one presenter at a time, so don’t kill someone 
else’s presentation.


[Technical hints]
* Sound is usually better if you use a headset (less noise for everyone).

* Connection problems are mostly due to low bandwidth or high latency on 
your side, e.g. with mobile connections.

* If audio/video doesn’t work for you, you can still use the text chat.
* Screen sharing needs a lot of bandwidth.

* BigBlueButton documentation applies: 
https://bigbluebutton.org/teachers/tutorials/


[Netiquette]
* Please use a name that we recognize from here. Some feel uncomfortable 
with anonymous lurkers.

* Mute your microphone while you’re not talking.
* It’s nice to show your face at least when you join.
* If there are connection problems, stop camera sharing.
* The room is set to “everyone’s a moderator“, I trust you...

See you, Hraban

There are also a collection of templates which are already on the wiki:

https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Category:Sample_documents



It is not about duplicating the Context garden site but to collect code in a
place where we could gradually fix possible errors or introduce improvements.


This can be done on the wiki as well.


I agree that it makes most sense to keep examples and (font) setups in 
the wiki.


Projects with several files, like modules, should have their own (git) 
repositories. (The scripts at modules.contextgarden.net can pull 
releases directly from a repository.)


I think it’s better to have (and manage) your own account somewhere and 
link to it from the wiki than to use the “official” account for stuff 
that is not part of ConTeXt proper.


My stuff is at https://codeberg.org/fiee/; some of that would also make

In MkIV, \directsetup or \fastsetup are a bit faster than \setup. They

I realise that I should have been talking about the space between local 
footnotes, rather than interlinespace (previous email on this issue), 
but my basic problem still stands. My efforts to influence the space 
between footnotes placed locally is to no avail so far.


I assume it is \setupnote (rather than \setupnotation, my earlier 
mistake) where I would need to somehow influence distance between 
footnotes which is currently too large. I have tried 
\setupnote[before={\blank[small]}, after={\blank[small]}]. It appears to 
be reducing the space before the entire block of local footnotes but not 
between the footnotes themselves, which is what I am trying to do.


Did you try "inbetween" or "distance"? (I’d assume the latter is for the 
distance between number and text, but inbetween is usually vertically.)


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

Am I correct in assuming that the \setupnote should influence my 
\placelocalfootnotes? Or is there something else I should do in the case 
of local footnotes as distinct from general footnotes (my document 
contains ONLY local footnotes, however).


I was wondering if \setupnote[localfootnote][…] makes sense, but I can’t 
find in the sources if local footnotes are setup differently from 
general one.

[NTG-context] help wanted: English native speaker as co-editor

[Henning Hraban Ramm via ntg-context]

Hi, as most of you know, I’m the editor of context journal, the annual 
magazine for all members of context group, AKA “proceedings of the 
[previous] ConTeXt meeting”.


While I have some experience as an editor in German, my English is far 
from perfect, so I need to rely on a native speaker for proofreading.


In the least years, Clyde was filling that role very diligently, but he 
just moved and can’t make the time again.


Deadline for the current issue is only in August, but we’re already at 
~100 pages with the articles I got (by Willi, Willi, Willi, Taco, Taco, 
Götz, and me) and I’d like to spread the work a bit.


* Would you like to help with that? *

– You don’t need to understand the code.
– I want the text to be correct and understandable, we don’t need to 
reach literary quality.

– You can work in PDF or in the sources, as you like.
– More than one person is welcome.


BTW I never thought of offering “our” articles to TUG and NTG, while I 
sometimes got articles that were published in TUGboat or MAPS first. 
(And I’m writing/translating for DANTE’s DTK regularly.) I’ll start to 
do that, since “recycling” makes sense, and it also can’t hurt to spread 
the word.



This is also a reminder to hand in your talks from Dreifelden – or new 
articles!

Hi,
I just updated the module writing guidelines, since I couldn’t find a 
description of the necessary structure of a module release file:

I also added an explanation how the publishing via 
https://modules.contextgarden.net works.


If you ever published a module, please check if its metadata is still 
correct, e.g. if the module works for MkIV / LMTX and how it should be 
published – some modules aren’t installable via rsync as outlined in

https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Modules#ConTeXt_LMTX

(For me, the “simplified version” works.)

These modules get installed that way:

f-urwgaramond
f-urwgothic
t-account
t-algorithmic
t-animation
t-annotation
t-bnf
t-chromato
t-cmscbf
t-cmttbf
t-construction-plan
t-cyrillicnumbers
t-degrade
t-fancybreak
t-filter
t-fixme
t-french
t-fullpage
t-games (not in dl)
t-gantt
t-gnuplot
t-handlecsv (newer than in dl)
t-layout
t-letter

t-lilypond (not in dl, obsolete)
t-mathsets
t-rst
t-ruby
t-simplefonts
t-simpleslides
t-tikz
t-title
t-transliterator
t-typearea
t-typescripts
t-vim
t-visualcounter

[NTG-context] natural table oddities

If you disregard the Wiki page instructions to use \bTH...\eTH then you can 
format the header using:

\bTD ... \eTD


but I'm not sure what the consequences might be, if any. You lose the default 
bold heading so maybe that's all /bTH.../eTH is adding?


Yes, I also found that out – either I sent an incomplete email, or I 
forgot to add my later “research”. 樂


TH (table header, not Taco or Tomáš ) adds a separation between header 
and body cells, but setting up "header" affects both TD and TH within 
TABLEhead.



It would be nice to have a way of specifying the header explicitly. My 
suggestion would be to have:
- \setupTABLE[r][head][...] affect just the header
- \setupTABLE[r][next][...] affect the new page header
- \setupTABLE[r][first|last|body][...] affect the first, or last, or only the 
body rows (i.e. not the header or footer)
- \setupTABLE[r][foot][...] affect just the footer

[r][last] (and [r][-1]) would represent the last body row (but not the footer 
row if one has been requested).


I agree.


## Formatting
* maxwidth doesn’t seem to have an effect, neither on the whole table nor on a 
column.
* textwidth works only for the whole table.
* width gets stretched if option=stretch; i.e. I can’t fix the width of single 
cells or columns.


For me, \setupTABLE [c] [1] [width=3cm] fixes the width of column 1 and forces 
long text to wrap.


But the width of a column is not fixed if you set option=stretch, then 
*all* columns are stretched, not only the undefined.

Re: [NTG-context] Numbering of figures after defining a new float

[Henning Hraban Ramm via ntg-context]

Am 30.03.23 um 17:09 schrieb Willi Egger via ntg-context:

I am still working on the previously mentioned project, consisting out of 
different parts. There are about 25 chapters in each part and most of the 
chapters contain figures. When using the predefined figure environment, then 
all figures in the figure-list are placed correctly though at each part the 
numbering restarts.

Now I tried to implement for each part its own float environment, which enables 
me to produce a figure-list per part with subtitels. How ever in the newly 
defined floats there is no continuous numbering i.e. 
chapternumber.serialnumber. Instead each float get the chapter number only.

How to get the numbering right?


You can define the resetting of numbering with 
\setupcaption[Afigure][way=bytext|bypart|bychapter].


For the list, \placelist[Afigure][criterium=chapter] (or local?) should 
work.

Since you use a TeX live installation, some other texmfcnf.lua or

Look into /usr/local/texlive/2023/

Since it scans everything in your home directory, maybe TEXMFHOME or

Re: [NTG-context] \writetolist not writing the number to the TOC

Good evening!

I have a setup in which I need to send info to the TOC:

Consider the following example:

\starttext

\starttitle[title=Contents]
   \placelist[chapter][criterium=all]
\stoptitle

\startchapter[title=Mychapter]
   \input knuth
   \startsubject[title=Subject will be in TOC]
 \writetolist[chapter]{1}{I am in TOC!}
 \input ward
   \stopsubject
\stopchapter

\stoptext

According to the Wiki I should get te number (1) in the TOC. Instead the text 
starts at the height of the chapter-numbering and is not carrying the given 
number.

Am I doing something wrong?


The wiki says:

“The default table of contents is combined list. To write to it one has 
to choose the level to which it should be inserted: 
\writetolist[chapter]{1.}{Chapter list entry A},

\writetolist[section]{1.1}{Section list entry A}, etc.”

So maybe you need a dot?

Otherwise I don’t know.

Re: [NTG-context] How to rotate the caption of a table...

Hello everybody,


in my project is a table which does not fit the width of the page. Hence I need 
to rotate it. Rotating the table is ok, but the caption is not rotated. My 
question is how can I instruct ConTeXt to rotate the caption and place it on 
the right side?

My attempt:



\setupcaption[table][location=right,orientation=90]
\startplacetable
[location=middle,
 reference=tab:papierformaten,
 title={Standaardformaten}]
 \rotate[rotation=90]{\externalfigure[Table1][type=buffer]}
\stopplacetable


I think \setupcaption[orientation=90] should work. Did you try different 
locations?


But the problem might be your use of \rotation, since \startplacefloat 
as well as \setupTABLE have options for rotation.

Try \startplacetable[location=90]

Re: [NTG-context] \setupTABLE: framecolor

Hi, I am struggling with the last row of a table which, according to its 
author, should have a black bottomframe, but gray (I am using a defined 
'lightgray') for the sides. The first row has a black frame. All 
intermediate rows have gray.


I have no difficulty achieving the first row, and the black bottomframe 
for the last row, but I have been unable to get the last row sides to be 
gray. Here is the current setups that I have:


\setupTABLE[frame=off]

\setupTABLE[row] [first] [topframe=on,bottomframe=on,style=bold]

\setupTABLE[row][2][topframe=on]

\setupTABLE[row][2][topframe=off,rightframe=on,leftframe=on,framecolor=lightgray]

\setupTABLE[row][3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21][frame=on, 
framecolor=lightgray]

\setupTABLE[row] [last] [bottomframe=on,style=normal]

My first row is fine and all but the topframe of row 2 is 'lightgray'; 
all following rows are 'lightgray'. The last row (22) has a black 
bottomframe, but how could I achieve 'lightgray' for rightframe, 
leftframe? If I add a new setup e.g.


\setupTABLE[row][last][rightframe=on,leftframe=on,framecolor=lightgray] 
then I lose the bottomframe in black. I have tried all kinds of 
combinations but unsuccessfully.


Table cells are based on \framed, and there doesn’t seem to be an option 
to have different colors of parts of the frame (e.g. bottomframecolor…)


You can use a MetaPost graphic as background, like in the “diagonal” 
example:

Hi all,

I have had some printing problems lately, and it is not perfectly
clear to me (or to Hans, we have discussed this a bit) whether it is
the printer that has a lack of memory or if the pdf files are somehow
corrupted. It might have to do with type3 fonts.

I attach a pdf file that does not print on our printer at work. Or
well, it prints almost all of the page, but stops at the word
"negativa" (or was it "egenvärden", I do not have the printout here
right now). Then the printer also prints an error report about some
"offending command".

So, a request: If you have an easy access to a printer, can you print
this page and report back if all of it comes out, or what is
happening?

[NTG-context] rotated headers in natural tables

[Henning Hraban Ramm via ntg-context]

Hi!

In my table, I want the header texts to be 90˚ rotated and aligned to 
the bottom of their cell. I couldn’t find an option to do that.

Tried \dontleavehmode or \hfill in my \RtH macro to no avail.
Is it possible?


\define[1]{\RtH}{\rotate{#1}}

\starttext

\setupTABLE[offset=3pt]
\setupTABLE[header][background=color,backgroundcolor=yellow,align=bottom]
\bTABLE
\bTABLEhead
\bTR \bTH\RtH{animal}\eTH \bTH\RtH{size}\eTH \bTH\RtH{weight}\eTH 
\bTH\RtH{average speed}\eTH \eTR

\eTABLEhead
\bTABLEbody
\bTR \bTD sparrow \eTD \bTD small \eTD \bTD light \eTD \bTD high \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD dog \eTD \bTD medium \eTD \bTD medium \eTD \bTD medium \eTD \eTR

[NTG-context] natural table oddities

[Henning Hraban Ramm via ntg-context]

Working on the documentation for “natural tables” I stumbled upon a few 
oddities/problems.
I’d like to know if there are misunderstandings on my part or if the 
behavior is intentional.


BTW enattab.pdf is missing in the LMTX distribution.

## Options

* before/after/inbetween values don’t appear anywhere.
* spaceinbetween should insert between rows, but nothing happens.
* splitoffset doesn’t seem to change anything.
* What’s samepage for?


## Addressing cells

* It’s not possible to address single cells with \setupTABLE, or is it?

* There’s \setupTABLE[header], but not "footer" (or "section"); since we 
have TABLEhead and TABLEfoot, IMO "head" and "foot" would make sense.


* Row 1 is the first row of TABLEbody. I couldn’t find how to address 
the first line of TABLEbody.


* Is it possible, and how, to use odd/even only for the body?

* If I format a column, e.g. \setupTABLE[c][-1][color=red], body and 
foot are formatted, but not the same column in header. (I found out, if 
I use TD instead of TH in the header, it works.)


* I don’t understand the addressing options "start" and "one".


## Formatting

* maxwidth doesn’t seem to have an effect, neither on the whole table 
nor on a column.

* textwidth works only for the whole table.
* width gets stretched if option=stretch; i.e. you can’t fix the width 
of single cells or columns.



## Page breaking

* What’s the difference between [split=repeat] and 
[split=yes,header=repeat], i.e. which sense makes the header option)?


* Is there an option to repeat the footer (as the last line of each 
page)? (I’d imagine to use it in an invoice or similar calculation for a 
subtotal – that would imply some more magic…)

For my part I’d like to know what was in the latest updates and maybe

Re: [NTG-context] Visual highlighted text with title, mix of enumeration and framedtext

Am 06.03.23 um 12:19 schrieb Gerion Entrup via ntg-context:

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?


If you don’t need an enumeration, then don’t use one.

Did you try text backgrounds?
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/TextBackground

And then use the plethora of \framed options.

Hi,

Yes Hraban that worked! Thanks!

My next issue is adapting the font-family, because a want to use the 
*Antykwa-Poltawskiego* font|| as my initial. I tried the following:


*\definefont[InitialCapFont][name:antpoltcondregular*default sa 4]*

*\setupinitial[color=MyColor,distance=6pt,n=3,font=InitialCapFont]*

Has anybody any idea why this doesn't work?


Did you confirm that \InitialCapFont works outside of that setup?

I recently used initials with a simple "font=Serif at 37pt,", and that 
worked. Maybe the operator "sa" doesn’t work in this context? (IDK)

Re: [NTG-context] Problem using \scale

[Henning Hraban Ramm via ntg-context]

Am 09.02.23 um 22:42 schrieb Bruce Horrocks via ntg-context:

I'm printing address labels. Sometimes an address has a long line that is too 
long to fit on the label with the result that it wraps. Instead of wrapping, I 
thought it would be nice to try and auto-scale the label and shrink it so that 
the long line just fits.

I'm using \crlf to break the address into lines and this doesn't play well with 
the \scale command, see MWE below, where the second frame is just one long line 
as the \crlf's seem to be ignored.

Is there a simple solution that allows \crlf and also scale?

\starttext
\startbuffer[address]
Name \crlf
Address 1 \crlf
A long line that wraps \crlf
Town \crlf
Postcode
\stopbuffer
\framed[width=3cm,align=flushleft]{\getbuffer[address]}
\framed[width=3cm,align=flushleft]{\scale[factor=fit]{\getbuffer[address]}}
\stoptext


Did you try \framedtext instead of \framed? (I didn’t test.)

[NTG-context] Fwd: BachoTeX 2023: invitation and call for papers

[Henning Hraban Ramm via ntg-context]

 Weitergeleitete Nachricht 
Betreff: BachoTeX 2023: invitation and call for papers
Datum: Wed, 1 Feb 2023 20:33:11 +0100
Von: Jerzy.Ludwichowski 

Dear Friends,

please pass on the BachoTeX 2023 announcement to your members.

With best wishes,
-- Jerzy Ludwichowski

===
Dear TeX users and friends,

good news - come what may, there will be BachoTeX 2023 as indeed I 
promised when

announcing BachoTeX 2022 cancellation.

The SARS-CoV-2 virus did not disappear but seems to have become less of 
a danger
as far as one can tell. The war in Ukraine is raging still, but none the 
less we

decided to organize BachoTeX 2023 at the usual dates and venue.

We hope that for the fall and to make up for the lost time by keeping the
same theme as the cancelled 2020 conference.

Please find below the call for papers for BachoTeX 2023, with the same 
theme as

planned for BachoTeX 2020 and 2022.

The dates are from 29th of April until 3rd of May, 2023.

Registrations will be announced separately as soon as possible.

-- Jerzy Ludwichowski
(for the Organizing Committee)


The 28th GUST TeX conference

A model kit.
Modeling and implementing text typesetting in TeX and other systems.

TeX as a program created by a scientist - Professor of The Art of Computer
Programming, D. E. Knuth - stands out among other typesetting programs.
Here we have not only an implementation but also a theoretical model to
explain its behavior. For example the line breaking algorithm is based on
the "algebra of glue and boxes". Algorithms designed for TeX became the
basis for several scientific publications. TeX became a suitable
environment for research in typography.

We ask participants to reflect on the dependencies between theoretical
models and implementation. Do they help or are they an obstacle?

* Papers/presentations

Of course we also look forward to the normal mix of TeX, Metafont/Metapost
(please, do not forget the fonts!), ConTeXt, LaTeX, and friends related
presentations. We also do upkeep the BachoTeX trend in which we try to bring
together programmers and designers of typographic systems, typographers and
other users of such systems. The normal channel of offering papers is the
emailing of proposals to the Program Committee, but before rushing off 
to the

mailer, please consult the info for authors.
* Workshops and tutorials

We look forward to proposals for TeX-related tutorials or introductions.
If you have suggestions for tutorials or workshops by others than
yourself or about specific topics, please let us know.

* Poster sessions

As always at BachoTeX participants will be given the opportunity to
present their TeX and typographic results in the form of posters for
which we provide exhibition space.

* Deadlines and addresses

The deadline for "regular" abstracts and other proposals is March 26th,
2023. The deadline for final papers to appear in the conference materials
is April 16th. Contributions should be sent by email to the Program
Committee:

     prog-2023 at gust.org.pl.

The Program Committee is chaired by Bogusław Jackowski
(b_jackowski at gust dot org dot pl).

For other conference details see http://gust.org.pl/bachotex/2023-en.

I tried placing that all into a macro called "\introduction" then

\setupheadertexts[\introduction]


Better use setups instead of a macros, like in
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Headers_and_Footers

In setups, you must use explicit space commands, since whitespace 
doesn’t matter.


It seems when placing the macro inside \setupheadertexts, the text is 
reduced to a single line. Any code involving \frames{} doesn't seem to 
work normally. Its all compressed to a single line, then centered.
How can I put a mult-line frame or multi-line text in the headers and 
footers?


MWE please.

[NTG-context] Fwd: Lucida-1.901 (2023-01-21) available

A new version (1.901) of the Lucida OpenType fonts from TUG is
available.  As with previous updates, there's no additional charge if
you've already purchased licenses; you can use the same download
information sent to you at the time of purchase to get the new fonts.
(If you've lost the download info, you can email us at
lucida-admin at tug.org.)

I will append the changes for this release. The same information is also
online at https://tug.org/store/lucida/NEWS.txt.

To summarize, the most significant changes have been to the math fonts,
especially the regular-weight LucidaBrightMathOT. Many of these changes
were discussed in greater detail in the recent article about Lucida math
by Hans Hagen and Mikael Sundqvist:
  https://tug.org/TUGboat/tb43-3/tb135hagen-lucida.pdf

The four Lucida Sans fonts and the three specialized fonts (Blackletter,
Calligraphy, Handwriting) are not changed at all from the last release
(not even version numbers or dates). All other fonts were changed.

On behalf of TUG, I thank Hans, Mikael, and Michael Sharpe, who among
them did essentially all of the technical font editing for this
release. And we must thank Chuck Bigelow and Kris Holmes (they approved
this release, as always), without whom nothing could be done.

Bug reports and character/feature requests are welcome (email to this
list is best), though, as usual, we cannot promise any particular
timeline for the next release.

Happy typesetting,
Karl [Berry]

[NTG-context] regular online meet-up

[Henning Hraban Ramm via ntg-context]

You’re invited to join on Wednesday, January 11th, 15:00 CET (UTC+1)

at https://lecture.senfcall.de/hen-rbr-rku-oke
(same, but shorter: https://v34h.de/ctxmtg)

ConTeXt users of all levels are welcome!

Next meeting will be on February 8th.


(Same blurb as every time:)

[Howto]
* No special software installation required; most modern browsers should 
work (WebRTC required).

* Open the above URL, accept the privacy statement,
* enter your name,
* click "join" (or "start" if you’re the first),
* click "with microphone", allow your browser to access it, check the audio.
* Your microphone is muted if you join. Activate microphone and/or 
camera with the buttons at the bottom.

* Minimize the default presentation with the "screen" button, bottom right.

* If you’d like to share your screen or upload a file, you can make 
yourself the presenter: Click on your user name, change the setting, 
then you’ll see the "screen sharing" button beside the camera button; 
also there’s now "manage presentations" behind the "plus" button.
Beware there is only one presenter at a time, so don’t kill someone 
else’s presentation.


[Technical hints]
* Sound is usually better if you use a headset (less noise for everyone).

* Connection problems are mostly due to low bandwidth or high latency on 
your side, e.g. with mobile connections.

* If audio/video doesn’t work for you, you can still use the text chat.
* Screen sharing needs a lot of bandwidth.

* BigBlueButton documentation applies: 
https://bigbluebutton.org/teachers/tutorials/


[Netiquette]
* Please use a name that we recognize from here. Some feel uncomfortable 
with anonymous lurkers.

* Mute your microphone while you’re not talking.
* It’s nice to show your face at least when you join.
* If there are connection problems, stop camera sharing.
* The room is set to “everyone’s a moderator“, I trust you...

See you, Hraban

Re: [NTG-context] TUG 2023

Hi Thomas,

an excellent year 2023 to all of you...


The same to you!


is any of the developers going (Hans?)?


I’m not a dev but I’ll be there.

Since the public will be 99 % LaTeX-centric: I had the 
idea of showing (off) how ConTeXt can typeset xml and produce different 
outputs from the same source (similar to what I've done in Bassenge in 
2019). Those of you who have been to TUG conferences before: would that 
be of interest even to people who know little to nothing about ConTeXt 
yet are familiar with other forms of TeX? I guess I just what to get a 
feeling what to expect at a TUG conference.


I’ve never been to a TUG conference, but it’s also a DANTE conference, 
and I wouldn’t hesitate to talk about ConTeXt – your example is a good 
one to get people interested, I think.


I’ll probably show how I make our architectural guides for Bonn – I 
suggested to have a guided tour to one of the HICOG settlements (that 
were built for the American forces and their German employees) with the 
group that’s behind the guides (Werkstatt Baukultur Bonn).


Since I’ll be there on company time (I’m now working for my former main 
customer), I’ll probably also help presenting our LaTeX3-based 
documentation workflow.

AFAIK this should work, at least if you have curl installed and the URL 
is not redirected.

You might need [conversion=mp] for the SVG, otherwise Inkscape installed.

But it doesn’t work for me, too.

You need a new prefix-set to rearrange the order of the sections.

 begin example
\defineprefixset [reverse-section]    [section,chapter] []
\defineprefixset [reverse-subsection] [subsection,section,chapter] []

\setuphead
   [section]
   [sectionset=reverse-section]

\setuphead
   [subsection]
   [sectionset=reverse-subsection]

\starttext

\startchapter [title={A}]

\startsection [title={B}]

\startsubsection [title={C}] \stopsubsection
\startsubsection [title={D}] \stopsubsection
\startsubsection [title={E}] \stopsubsection

\stopsection

\startsection [title={F}]

\startsubsection [title={G}] \stopsubsection
\startsubsection [title={H}] \stopsubsection
\startsubsection [title={I}] \stopsubsection

\stopsection

\stopchapter

\stoptext
 end example

* How can I format the segments, e.g. to get two or three digits each 
(leading zeros)?


You can create your own conversion format.

 begin example
\startluacode
interfaces.implement {
     name  = "FourDigits",
     public    = true,
     arguments = "string",
     actions   = function(s) context("%04d",tonumber(s)) end
}
\stopluacode

\defineconversion [FourDigits] [\FourDigits]

\setuphead
   [chapter]
   [conversion=FourDigits]

\starttext

\startchapter [title={Chapter}] \stopchapter

\stoptext
 end example

And now I’d like to know if ConTeXt is capable of typesetting this 
variant of Arabic. (Just out of curiosity, I can’t read any Arabic and 
don’t know any African language.)

Afaiks that script has been known fro a while:


I also thought I heard about it several years ago. The article makes it 
sound like news, that might be the perspective of the US scholars or a 
necessary means to get funded. But the oldest sources quoted in 
Wikipedia are from 1971 and 1982.



https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajami_script
so when there are proper fonts, as:
https://software.sil.org/scheherazade/
https://software.sil.org/harmattan/


I don’t dare to ask about the Husayni fonts... ;)

it should be doable. The script is supported by unicode. I get the 
impression that the arabic scipt is mostly used getting the way the 
languages sounds on paper so vowels matter. There is mentioning of 
transliteration and so that might need some specific support. Nothing 
tex (context) can't do but only users and usage can prove that.


Thank you for your insights!
Of course it’s a matter of use(r)s.

All the best for a happy new year!

I thought sectionsegments=section:chapter would work, but it doesn’t.


* How can I format the segments, e.g. to get two or three digits each
(leading zeros)?


The easy part is to have the leading zeros, but I cannot get it working
with numbercommand or deepnumbercommand.

   \startluacode
   function document.leadingzeros(str)
 local lzeros = 3-str:len()
 return ("0"):rep(lzeros)
   end
   \stopluacode
   \unexpanded\def\lzeros#1%
 {\cldcontext{document.leadingzeros("#1")}}


Same. With numbercommand, Lua gets "\s and can’t handle it, with 
deepnumbercommand it gets "1-\m". Is this a catcode issue?




* I can force a section number with “ownnumber”, but the next one is
back in the previous scheme. Itemize has “start”. How can I start
section chapter numbering at 3 (or -1 or whatever; I know I can start at
0 with “zero”) and let ConTeXt continue from there?


\setupheadnumber[chapter][3] % will start with 4


Thank you, that works.


I hope it helps. »Einen guten Rutsch ins Neujahr!«


Dito!

(In proper German that would be just “Guten Rutsch” or “Guten Rutsch ins 
neue Jahr”; Neujahr ist just the name of the holiday.)

I forgot to mention that I tried this. It doesn’t work (while it would 
be the most easy syntax, I guess), you can set the segments only in 
order of hierarchy.

[NTG-context] numbering questions

A happy new year to everyone!

I’m playing with some examples of section numbering.

* Is there a setup to influence the order of number segments? I.e. can I 
have “section.chapter.part“ instead of “part.chapter.section”?


* How can I format the segments, e.g. to get two or three digits each

section chapter numbering at 3 (or -1 or whatever; I know I can start at

My example tries to (ab)use the section numbering for a date (e.g. for a 
diary):


-
\definestructureconversionset[default][n,n,month,n][n]
\definestructureseparatorset [default][-,-,-,-]

\definehead[Year][chapter]
\definehead[Month][section]
\definehead[Day][subsection]

\define[2]\TitleCmd{#1} % number only

\setuphead[Year,Month,Day][number=yes,page=no,command=\TitleCmd]
\setuphead[Year][page=yes]
%\setuphead[Month][]
\setuphead[Day][style={\ss\bf}]

\def\Dummycontent{
\dorecurse{12}{
\startMonth
New Month.

\dorecurse{5}{
\startDay
Another day.

\stopDay
}

\stopMonth
}}

\starttext

\startYear[ownnumber=2023,title=This]
A new year begins.

\Dummycontent

\stopYear

\startYear
Next year.

\Dummycontent

\stopYear

\stoptext
