I have problems with the grid on such a page. The last column of three does not align the lines at the grid. With columnsets the grid is ok. These columnsets as described in the manual looked very promising to me as I could change the column layout on the page. The columnsetspan feature is nice to make elements spread over multiple columns. Areas also looks promising but I did not try them. I had some problems while using columnsets with respect to switch this span feature on and off. But I managed it kind of. The last thing I couldn't get to work were images with location left of the text.

[NTG-context] Bug in lmtx or wrong setup?
Hi all, I encountered a very strange problem. I want to have section headlines expanding the whole textarea, but the following copy text of the section shall be typeset in columns. I have this setup and it works fine. \setuphead [section] [ insidesection=\startcolumns, aftersection=\stopcolumns, ] Except for one big problem. ConTeXt (current lmtx from 2020.05.18 16:50) sometimes has problems to make a page break. And I get the weird result shown on the attached screenshot. After the page break the text of the section does not continue. Instead a number is shown. In the log file I can't find something suspicious. When I compile the source with current context (2020.01.30 14:13) I get something like an infinite loop. ConTeXt hangs and has to be killed with kill pid, Ctrl-C in terminal does not work So, in my opinion my layout or setup causes a bad situation, where ConTeXt does not know where to make a page break. While context hangs and warns me, lmtx runs smoothly but places a number in the text, which is bad as I might overlook it. I tried to make mwe but I cannot reproduce the error. Any ideas to improve my setup? Is this a bug or the intended behaviour? juh ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

There is so much in it that suits to my needs that I have to read it carefully later. But I have some short remarks anyway. Some topics are especially of interest to me: 1. Nameing and organizing the project, product and environments files. I am currently reorganising the files for my cooperative. I think that besides some nameing conventions it is more or less up to me how I organise our print work. Any recommendations welcome. 2. The "Deutsches Text Archiv" has prepared a text corpus of German texts up to 1900 in TEI PS XML, so we could use them directly to typeset books. What I am looking for is a script to extract all XML tags/tokens from their files to have a complete list of things that should be handled in a ConTeXt style file. Five years ago I tried to create such a style file by hand, but I gave up. https://github.com/juh2/tei-style-dta-context The tokens/tags differ from text to text and I think the structure too so that it was beyond my knowledge to generate a general style file for all texts. 3. Being a writer I think that Markdown --> ConTeXt is the best way to achieve what I want: easy writing and professional looking books. Up to now I used Pablos way via pandoc and XHTML described here: http://www.from-pandoc-to-context.tk/ The problem with pandoc is that it does not generate a perfect ConTeXt source to build the file as some things are missing. Annotations and eg. your classify.lua might be a second approach to achieve what I want. So thanks a lot for your work. @all: Feel free to comment on my three topics any hints are welcome.

[NTG-context] Fonts not in preview of online print shop
Dear all, strange problem with my online print shop. I want to print 3 products. 1. Business Cards 2. Flyer 3. Poster All definitions for fonts, colors, color profiles and pdf version come from one an the same file (env-cd.tex). All PDFs passed the data check without problems, but Business Cards and Poster appear without any fonts in the final preview. Only the Flyer looks ok. The service staff is nice but has no idea where to look, never heard of ConTeXt. For the business cards the print shop will do paid manual enhancement. The poster is not as time critical.

Re: [NTG-context] Any plans for an active color management?
Hi Henning Hraban, I contacted three print shops and they demand three different color profiles, one of them prints on "100 % recycling paper" with an uncoated profile. The other two use ISO Coated v2 300% and Coated Fogra 39. Being online shops I think they will complain if not the right profile is provided. But anyway. I will summarize: Am 17.02.20 um 16:35 schrieb Henning Hraban Ramm: > That means you should keep your photos in (profiled) RGB.

Device depended means what? I did this to convert our RGB corporate colors to device depended CMYK: transicc -i sRGB.icc -o Fogra/Iso-whatever.icc But what shall I do with the logo? It is a RGB SVG. Do I understand you correctly that the best would be to ask someone with Indesign to convert it to CMYK with the above cited profile chain?

I do it like this: \startmode[fogra39] \definecolor [hs-logoblau] [c=1.000, m=0.735, y=0.279, k=0.160] \definecolor [hs-dunkelblau] [c=0.844, m=0.544, y=0.070, k=0.000] \definecolor [hs-hellblau] [c=0.468, m=0.220, y=0.086, k=0.002] \definecolor [hs-orange] [c=0.127, m=0.832, y=1.000, k=0.042] \setupcolors[cmyk=yes,rgb=no,] \setupbackend[ format=PDF/X-3:2003, intent={Coated FOGRA39 (ISO 12647-2:2004)}, ] \stopmode I like your thought that all profiles are more or less the same.

[NTG-context] Any plans for an active color management?
Hi all, I would like to come back to a discussion from 2018 on this list. After printing some flyers for my cooperative I come to the conclusion that color management *is* very difficult. In my eyes, the only way of getting good results seems to be the following process. My starting point are RGB colors as we are doing online first. So if I create a poster or a flyer I have to do this: 1. Decide which print shop will print the material. 2. Download and install the color profile for this print shop in ConTeXt. 3. Specify CMYK values by using transicc with the given profile 4. Define named corporate colors with these CMYK values for typography, colored background in ConTeXt. 5. Convert all RGB images to CMYK using the given color profile especially if they contain corporate colors. Now if we decide to use another print shop, the whole process has to start again. The result is that I end up with color settings for x different print shops and cmyk images for x different print shops. Are there any plans to automate these steps into ConTeXt? That would enable us to work in RGB the whole time. Only when creating a print pdf we would specify a color profile and ConTeXt would do the rest by converting all rgb values to cmyk values due to the given color profile. As this seems very complex I fear that there are no plans to do this. What alternatives I have? = What if deliberately define my own cmyk values once and for all? Can I work with the same cymk values no matter what profile is used by the print shop?

What I can say about epub generally is: It's better to avoid fancy styling at all and use the default fonts and styles of the ebook devices.

You don't have to use proprietary tools. An easy way to create ebooks from Markdown files (or other sources) is Pandoc. https://pandoc.org/ I produce all of my ebooks in this way.

What you can do is to create a mode like this: \startmode[fogra39] \doiffileelse{CoatedFOGRA39.icc}{}{\farbprofilnichtgefunden} % This will be printed in log if context does not find the profile for % some reason \definecolor [hs-logoblau] [c=1.000, m=0.735, y=0.279, k=0.160] \definecolor [hs-dunkelblau] [c=0.844, m=0.544, y=0.070, k=0.000] \definecolor [hs-hellblau] [c=0.468, m=0.220, y=0.086, k=0.002] \definecolor [hs-orange] [c=0.127, m=0.832, y=1.000, k=0.042] \setupcolors[cmyk=yes,rgb=no,] \setupbackend[ format=PDF/X-3:2003, intent={Coated FOGRA39 (ISO 12647-2:2004)}, ] \stopmode If you call context with --mode=fogra39 you will get these color definitions and the defined pdf format with the right profile (intent). If you download additional icc profiles (eg. the fogra one is missing in the context distribution) put them here: context/tex/texmf-local/colors/icc In this folder they won't be overwritten by an update. There are some limitations in ConTeXt concerning colors as embedded images are not converted, so RGB images are converted only by the print shop during printing, which can lead to strange results. I think the only way to control the output is to convert all images to CMYK by hand. By doing this you can modify them to get the best results.

I browsed through the mailing list to see that bibliographies are not that easy. ;-) I think I found a solution by providing a "year" in my database. That's good enough for me. But as I collect my internet citations with zotero I always get a urldate for all internet entries. I think that giving the urldate is better than insert a publication year as nobody knows how long a website was present and when it was published for the first time.

But more and more I think that ConTeXt should fail if it does not find the color profile, because if you forget to study the log file before sending the pdf to the print shop you can loose a lot of money. And as we use ConTeXt in a group where people have different ConTeXt knowledge the generation should be bullet proofed. The behaviour of ConTeXt is AFAICS the following. If you install icc-profiles in texmf-context they get lost during the next update of ConTeXt. But ConTeXt will not stop the complilation only warning that there is no profile file. ConTeXt only stops to compile if you delete a profile which was present during installation/update or which was present during a "mtxrun --generate" (Thanks to Mojca for this hint). Then the file is registered and ConTeXt wants to access it, failing if it is not there. If you install profiles in texmf-local and then do a "mtxrun --generate" you are quite safe as long as you do not install ConTeXt from scratch. If you want to compile a ConTeXt project on an other computer you have to study the log file to see that it does not find a color profile. And this is dangerous, because noone expects this to be a problem. I think ConTeXt should fail and stop if the profile is not there. There is the switch --errors=list which might be of some use here, but I could not find documentation, so I don't know how to call ConTeXt and make it fail if the error occurs. Thanks for the hint, which I use as a workaround. juh ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
[NTG-context] Making ConTeXt stop on all or some errors
Hi all, yesterday I asked about where to put color profiles. My problem was that ConTeXt for some unknown reason didn't find the color profiles I downloaded. But most annoying was the fact that I didn't saw the error in the log because ConTeXt only complains about not finding the profile. Is there a way to make ConTeXt stop if it does not find the profile like it stops if I use a unknown command? I want to avoid that we send a pdf without a profile to the print shop, because we overlook a message in the logs. juh ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

When I define rgb colors AND use not-print-modus I get the right rgb colors in the pdf. When I define cmyk colors AND use print modus I get colors that might be correct (tested next week) But obviously it is not possible to define both color spaces in \definecolor because I don't get the same colors in the pdf as with the cmyk-only defined file.

Re: [NTG-context] Issues with RGB to CMYK conversion with color profiles (was: Colormanagement)
Hi all, attached you find my colormanagement tests and I need your help to understand and debug the situation. I am testing together with a friend of mine, a professional colormanager, who does not know ConTeXt. There are several files in the archive: The differences in the files are the color definition and the color profile used. - rgb-xxx.tex – colors are defined with RGB values only. - rgb-cmyk-xxx.tex – colors are defined with RGB and CMYK values. The cmyk colors are derived from the rgb values using gimp and the color profiles sRGB/ISOCoated - cmyk-xxx.tex – colors are defined with CMYK values only. The xxx stand for two color profiles: iso-coated and swop. What I see is this: Colors in pdfs are the same no matter what color profile I choose. With rgb values and rgb/cmyk values I get the same colors in pdf (the wrong ones). With cmyk values only I get other colors in pdf. Next week my friend will test if these are the right ones. I have many questions: 1. Is colormanagement working in ConTeXt at all? 2. Is my code correct? 3. Why do pdfs with different color profiles show the same colors? 4. Why does ConTeXt not take the cmyk colors from \definecolor when there are rgb values as well? 5. Where can I define a coresponding rgb profile? In Scribus you have to define two profiles (eg. sRGB and ISOCoated) to make colormanagement work.

[NTG-context] Issues with RGB to CMYK conversion with color profiles (was: Colormanagement)
Hi all, with the following file I tested the color conversion of context. I get the same CMYK-values in the output pdf file using different color profiles. A friend of mine can test the color values of PDF with a special software. My guess: the profiles are not used during pdf generation. You can test this by commenting/uncommenting the other profile. I created the files with context --mode=print example.tex My context version is mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 1.02 mtx-context | current version: 2018.08.30 18:41 Is this the correct way of producing cmyk-pdfs? I am missing the declaration of the RGB color profile. When doing color management in Scribus I define two profiles: one for RGB and one for CMYK. AFAIK you need both to convert rgb to cmyk. Any hints? juh --- example.tex --- \definecolor [hs-logoblau] [r=0.000, g=0.314, b=0.580] \definecolor [hs-dunkelblau] [r=0.258, g=0.474, b=0.737] \definecolor [hs-hellblau] [r=0.6, g=0.737, b=0.858] \definecolor [hs-orange] [r=0.866, g=0.286, b=0.003] \startnotmode[print] \setupcolors[cmyk=no,rgb=yes] \stopnotmode \startmode[print] \setupcolors[cmyk=yes,rgb=no] \setupbackend[ format=PDF/X-1a:2003, % intent={ISO Coated v2 300\letterpercent\space (ECI)}, intent={SWOP2006_Coated3v2.icc}, ] \stopmode \setuppapersize [A4] [A4] \starttext \blackrule[width=3cm,height=1cm,depth=0pt,color=hs-orange] HS Orange r=0.866, g=0.286, b=0.003 \blank \blackrule[width=3cm,height=1cm,depth=0pt,color=hs-logoblau] HS Logoblau r=0.000, g=0.314, b=0.580 \blank \blackrule[width=3cm,height=1cm,depth=0pt,color=hs-dunkelblau] HS Dunkelblau r=0.258, g=0.474, b=0.737 \blank \blackrule[width=3cm,height=1cm,depth=0pt,color=hs-hellblau] HS Hellblau r=0.6, g=0.737, b=0.858 \stoptext ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

I am currently exploring the color management system of ConTeXt together with a friend you is working as a color manager in print industry. And my first try was a failure. The cmyk values in the resulting pdf file (with color profile) differs from the values we calculated (using the same color profile in Gimp). But we have to investigate a bit further, so don't panic. Maybe I the fault was mine. Is there a test case tex file we could use to test the color management? juh ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

[NTG-context] Colormanagement
Hi all, I defined some colors with \definecolor like this: \definecolor [myblue] [r=0.000, g=0.314, b=0.580, c=0.98, m=0.67, y=0.03, k=0.12] \startnotmode[print] \setupcolors[cmyk=no,rgb=yes] \stopnotmode \startmode[print] \setupcolors[cmyk=yes,rgb=no] \setupbackend[ format=PDF/X-3:2003, intent={ISO Coated v2 300\letterpercent\space (ECI)}, ] \stopmode When I use "context" or "context --mode=print" everything works as expected. But! I have SVG icons I want to use in the document. They contain the above defined rgb colors. When I use --mode=print I get different colors for the SVG icons. So context converts the SVG files to PDFs but does not change the colors accordingly to CMYK. What are my options? Do I miss something? 1. Let the designer produce icons in pdf with the given cmyk colors. 2. Don't use cmyk colors at all. In fact on my home printer the printed rgb colors look brighter than the cmyk colors. This might change in the print shop when they print with the right color profile, but it makes me nervous. juh ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

If you are familiar with LaTeX (as a user) many things are obvious in ConTeXt, at least for me. Early showstoppers – at least for me – are configuration and the definition of styles etc. At first you think, wow, this key-value pairing is nice, but then you realize that you never know which keys are available and what values can be applied. What kind of brackets must be used? Why do some commands have two, three, four brackets for options? The next showstopper is the define-setup system and the possibility to give names to your macros. I always thought: Well, there is a well defined system in it, I am only too dumb to grasp it. I discovered setup-en.pdf and tried to figure out how to read it. I discovered showsetup only to see that \showsetup{setuphead} just gives me a list of options but no explanation. It would be great if showsetup would give explanations to the keys and values. I like to learn using try-and-error, but I would love to have a systematic introduction to the concepts of ConTeXt. Maybe you can add some of this in your introduction to make it a starting point for users speaking German. juh ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
[NTG-context] How to configure context command in Emacs
Hello, I hope there are some Emacs users out there. ;-) I can use emacs with context-mode when I start the program like this: . ~/context/tex/setuptex ; emacs & I could not find a way to set this in my emacs init file. Neither of the ways described here worked for me: https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ExecPath I set this in .bashrc: if [-f ~/context/tex/setuptex ]; then . ~/context/tex/setuptex fi to always have context available in a shell and in emacs if I start it from bash. Starting Emacs via the start menu of Gnome results in an Emacs that does not know ConTeXt. I found some hints how to source .bashrc in emacs but this only affects the emacs shell not the command calling from within AucTeX. Has anyone found a solution for this? juh ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

This project https://pi-hole.net/ has the install command line right on the front page. I think we could have something like this on the frontpage of the wiki for quick installation.
