I used “infamous” as a funny way to say “not famous, but somewhat known” (and yes, I know Latin and what the words really mean). That was my understanding. Infamous=Not famous; that is, not as well known as others.

Indeed with the \language[es] command the syllable partitioning is correct. I had not included it because in the preamble of the document appears the instruction \mainlanguage[es]. After verifying that indeed the syllabic partitioning works well, I have been doing several tests to see why the \mainlanguage[es] command in the environment file was ignored. In the end I have come to the conclusion that this was because I had written in it \startenvironment instead of \startenvironment environment_name What I do not understand is why, when not putting the name of the environment some commands of this one are ignored, but others are executed.

I am writing a document in Spanish and I notice that the syllable partitioning of words does not conform to the rules of the language. And so, for example, the word "limitarse" is partitioned as "lim-itarse" (the correct one is "li-mi-tar-se"), "colores" as "col-ores" (instead of "co-lo-res"), "abstenerse" as "absten-erse" (and it should be "abs-te-ner-se"), etc. These are too many errors; moreover, given that the syllabic partitioning rules in Spanish are relatively simple. Is it possible that something has been changed in the Spanish language module?

Re: [NTG-context] A not so short introduction to ConTeXt - French version - progress report.
I think it's a fantastic reorganization of the material. And I am proud to have been, in a way, its promoter. But I understand that the fairest thing to do is to remove my name from the authorship of the text, to put the name of the real author, and, if anything, in the credits and copyright page, to indicate that it is inspired by a text written by me. I am not saying this because I don't like the text, on the contrary. I say it because I don't deserve to be attributed the authorship of something that someone else has written and that implies more knowledge about ConTeXt than I have. In fact I am going to study it carefully. Thank you very much, Garulfo.

Re: [NTG-context] A not so short introduction to ConTeXt Mark IV
I don't really know anything about git, so I can't give my opinion about what is or isn't convenient to do. Certainly to report bugs in my text I don't think it takes anything more than an e-mail to send them to me. Having a repository can be useful to keep a version that is always up to date; but that, on the other hand, would force me to be continually modifying the text, which in principle is not my intention. I do not exclude that there will be other versions in the future, but for the moment this is not part of my plans. And if there were other versions, it would be more to add some chapter; mainly I think that the most important material that is missing is the one related to XML, Lua and Metapost, that is: the three additional languages in which a ConTeXt document can be written. But I am far from being able to write anything about any of those three aspects. Some member of the list has offered to help me with it, but not immediately (we all have a lot of work). The original idea, I think, was to provide a platform that would allow different collaborators to translate the text into different languages. Whether or not git is the best solution for that purpose, I really don't know. What I would appreciate is that guide on "how to set up a documentation translation project with git? that Garulfo proposes.

Re: [NTG-context] A not so short introduction to ConTeXt Mark IV
Really? I wouldn't see it this way. I wondered a bit about the number of primitives shown in the document of Joaquín, but that they are used certainly doesn't make context like plaintex. I have calculated the number of primitives from the list made in "TeX Reference Manual" by David Bausum (of which there is a web version at https://www.tug.org/utilities/plain/cseq.html). According to that text the number of primitives is exactly 326.

Re: [NTG-context] A not so short introduction to ConTeXt Mark IV
I think the creation of the repository is a good idea and I suggest the name "introCTX-MkiV". I could provide the source files (in Spanish and English) and eventually clarify any doubt that the various translators had about the meaning of the original. It should also be taken into account that in the original there are some fragments or examples designed for a Spanish cultural field that, outside it, do not make much sense. In this regard, the English translation has the merit of adapting these fragments (instead of translating them) or deleting them, as the case may be.

As for the English translation, I have made some small changes to the Spanish version, so anyone who understands Spanish and prefers to read it in its original language can download the new version: Both versions are available at the following links - Spanish: https://webs.um.es/jal/docs/introCTX_esp.pdf - Engilish: https://webs.um.es/jal/docs/introCTX_eng.pdf Soon I will send both texts, with their source files, to the documentation section of the CTAN repository. -- Joaquín Ataz López Derecho Civil Universidad de Murcia ___ 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] Problem with \Caps
Good day to everyone. I have a problem that may be very simple to solve, but for which I have not found an answer in the wiki. Until relatively recently I was using the January 2020 version of ConTeXt Standalone, recently I have updated it to the December 18th version, and when I compile a file that I used to compile well, an error is generated because the \Caps macro is not recognized. I can't get the desired effect with \sc, it has to be with \Caps. I have tried to compile it with LMTX but there too is considered that \Caps is an undefined control sequence. -- Joaquín Ataz López Derecho Civil Universidad de Murcia ___ 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] ConTeXt Standalone last version
The last time I checked the date of the ConTeXt Standalone version I had installed was early last summer, and the version installed was April 30, 2020. But today I wanted to update the version and I see that the "new" version that has been installed is the version of January 30, 2020. That is: the version has been moved back. Does anyone know why it has regressed? -- ----- Joaquín Ataz López Profesor de Derecho Civil Universidad de Murcia - Departamento de Derecho civil ___ 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 ___
Re: [NTG-context] A Spanish introduction to ConTeXt Mark IV
Thank you very much for your comments. I will take them in consideration and, along with others that are sent to me, I will prepare a version 1.5 of the guide. As my introduction, being written in Spanish, excludes many members from the list, from now on, and in order not to bore too much those who are not interested in this matter, I will answer the mails related to my introduction exclusively to the sender, and not to the list, unless I think the matter is of more general interest. Thank you all very much for the good reception of my introduction. I already said that it would certainly have errors, I am a beginner at ConTeXt.

(I really tried to the best of my ability!) I also believe that maintaining up-to-date documentation is important.

Thank you very much. This is an offer that I accept, although, if it's
not a bother, from next month, because the next two weeks I will be
tremendously busy with my university work, which has nothing to do with
typography or text composition.

Hi, Joaquín.
I've just found your introduction yesterday and I have to say it is a
pleasure to read it. I can help you with some areas you haven't
discussed too much, e.g. Lua interfaces and Metapost (well, I'm not as
skilled as Aditya or Hans in the latter), as I use it often. I'll send
you a message later so we can communicate in Spanish :)
Thank you a lot for you effort. I hope more Spanish users put a bit of
their expertise on your manual and further documentation for such a
great software as ConTeXt.
Muchas gracias y saludos cordiales,
