Hi Joel,

current footnote value can be accessed with \rawcountervalue[footnote],
such as in:

  \starttext
  \dorecurse{25}
{\ \footnote{Footnote \recurselevel}:
 \rawcountervalue[footnote]\par}
  \stoptext

Just in case it helps,

Hi Joel,

the bibliography part doesn’t work for me at all.

But notes may be placed as their location is text (and you add a real
footnote).

This works fine:

  \setupnote[footnote][location=text]

  \starttext
 \input knuth
 \footnote{Footnote}
  \cite[clark1989]

  \placenotes[footnote]

  \startchapter[title=Bibliography]
  \placelistofpublications
  \stopchapter
  \stoptext

I never used a bibliography in ConTeXt, so that part is left to you.

I hope it helps,

It seems that you can place the figures somehow
(https://www.pragma-ade.nl/general/qrcs/setup-en.pdf#page=169):

See the extreme example:

  \showframe\showgrid\showstruts
  \setupexternalfigures
  [location={local,global,default}]
  \starttext
  \placefigure{A Cow}{\externalfigure[cow][
  height=.5\textheight,

  %height=.4\textheight,

  \placefigure{A Cow}{\externalfigure[cow][
  width=3cm,
  %width=2cm,
  ]}

  \placefigure[inleft]{A Cow}{\externalfigure[cow][width=2cm]}

  \placefigure[inright]{A Cow}{\externalfigure[cow][width=2cm]}
  \stoptext

Hi Denis,

But now it seems that luatex has disappeared from our bin directories.

Was this intended (because of the issues with the build farm)?

I wonder whether the path order might give priority.

But in any case, I wonder whether it is intended that current latest

LuaTeX nor to have any LuaTeX binary at all.

Hans (or Luigi), are we (just humble users) missing something here?

I get the same result on Win64 when I move the luatex binary from the
tex/texmf-win64/bin/ directory.

This may sound stupid, but could you check whether the bin directory
contain the required binary?

Sorry, "luatex --version" and even "whereis luatex" should give the same
result (but on Windows, it seems to be https://ss64.com/nt/where.html).

I hope it may help,

[NTG-context] \luaescapestring in proper Lua

[Pablo Rodriguez via ntg-context]

Dear list,

I have the following sample:

  \starttext
  \startluacode
  function document.print_the_thing(str)
context(str)
  end
  \stopluacode

  \unexpanded\def\PrintTheThing#1{%
\ctxlua{document.print_the_thing([[\luaescapestring{#1}]])}}

  \PrintTheThing{a \em b {c}}
  \stoptext

I wonder whether there is a proper way in the Lua code to avoid
[[\luaescapestring{}]] in \ctxlua.

BTW, [[\luaescapestring{}]] in \ctxlua works better for me, since in my
real world document, I’m using str:match() to check whether the string
ends with interrogation or exclamation marks ("%?!$").

Many thanks for your help,

Hi Denis,

as far as I know, this is required first:

  context --luatex --generate

BTW, although LuaTeX 1.18 has been released, my Linux64 ConTeXt contains
version 1.17.x.

In fact, the LuaTeX binary was removed in an update some weeks (or
months) ago. I had to copy it from a backup from a previous version.

I hope it helps,

I don’t think so.

In some cases you may not get the ligature for a good reason:

  \starttyping
  program --option=value file.ext
  \stoptyping

It would make no sense to get an en-dash there (but I guess you don’t
mean that).

But all OSes provide character maps to get single characters. And also
Unicodia works fine in Windows (https://mercury13.github.io/unicodia/,
just in case it might suit your needs).

Having a single character (emoji, dashes or whatever) is way more
readable than a character combination for a ligature or a TeX command.

This single-character approach also makes easier to copy and paste text
to other formats.

Just consider that you should add an horizontal box (or pair both space
and hyphen), otherwise you may get a line break between character and
hyphen (instead of the hair space):

  \starttext
  \startTEXpage[offset=2st]
  \hsize\zeropoint
  this —\hairspace or so\hairspace— that

  this \hbox{—\hairspace}or so\hbox{\hairspace—} that
  \stopTEXpage
  \stoptext

Just in case it might help,

In principle, cache is only written to tex/texmf-cache.

But I guess, when that directory cannot be written by the user, cache is
written to $HOME/texmf.

This may be why you get two cache directories (instead of only
tex/texmf-cache).

Another way is to run (since your test works fine on my laptop):

  mtxrun --script cache --erase && mtxrun --generate

The format file will be generated in the next compilation, so it will
take a bit longer.

Weird, if I remove the cache, I get a single line error message:

Could you run the "install.sh" script located at

If you still get the error message above, could you give us the output

[NTG-context] (again) \xmlinlineprettyprinttext double hyphens

Current LMTX (2024.03.11 09:34) is giving different results for double
hyphens with \xmlprettyprinttext and \xmlinlineprettyprinttext.

Since the output of \xmlinlineprettyprinttext is a wrong argument (in

Using current latest (from 2024.03.11 09:34), LMTX transforms "--" in
"–" (en-dash) only with \xmlinlineprettyprinttext (LuaTeX writes the
en-dash in the three cases).

This issue has been driving me crazy, since it took me a while what was
different here.

Is there something I can do to get \xmlinlineprettyprinttext as

[NTG-context] issue with typing in footnotes

[Pablo Rodriguez via ntg-context]

Dear list,

I have the following sample (which was on the way of showing another issue):

  \starttext
  a
  \starttyping
  b
  \stoptyping
  c
  \startfootnote
  a
  \starttyping
  b
  \stoptyping
  c
  \stopfootnote
  \stoptext

Current latest (from 2024.03.11 09:34) breaks compilation with both LMTX
and LuaTeX.

As far as I know, this sample should be compiled without any issue.

Could you be so kind to confirm the issue or explain me what am I missing?

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

Sorry for saying that again, but please elaborate both your minimal
samples and your descriptions of the issues you are experiencing.

Some comments on the code fragments you sent.

First of all, please include always code that can be compiled simply
after being copied and pasted.

This requires \starttext (most of the time) and \stoptext (mandatory to
avoid stupid errors).

If these lines are irrelevant for the issue you are experiencing, please
don’t include them.

You define this margin framed, but your sample makes no use of it.

Sorry, but I don’t get it.

If your sample includes no theorem or text background, please remove
these definitions when sending code.

BTW, avoid include text content (such as margin and body rules [but not
their definitions]) before \starttext.

Also, use \clrf instead of \\ (since the mailing list displays the
relevant line as ("\" instead of "\\"):

>   \margintext{\blackrule[color=black, height=0.10ex, width=1cm]\}

Here starts your text:

> \starttext
> \margintext {1.1.1}
> {\bf Beispiel 3.2.17. (Vertauschung von All- und Existenzquantor).} \par

Your margin text is undefined. Your code has a defined margin text
command, but it isn’t used.

> So  I have here an example from the second page: 

Sorry, but I’m having the impression you are using ConTeXt as a kind of
command-based DTP software (which I think it isn’t at all).

Or, do you define commands for each page?

I think it is better to define a single margin text command and use a
doublesided page setup.

Again, margin text commands defined, but never used.

> \blackrule[color=black, height=0.10ex, width=13.40cm]
> {\blackrule[color=black, height=0.10ex, width=1cm, distance=.90cm]\par

Here you open a brace that is not closed at all.

At least, consider that this won’t be extremely readable for other
people (this is only a sample).

It also may be problematic for you, if you leave the source untouched
for some weeks.

At least, it would be better not to include a definition inside content
that seems to (or may) be grouped with braces.

BTW, it is exactly the same definition as the one included before.

It isn’t just to be removed in minimal samples, your final code doesn’t
need the duplicated command definition.

Please, always compile the minimal samples that you send to the list.

This is simply to ensure other list subscribers will get the same
results as you.

After adding a final \stoptext command, I had to run:

  mtxrun --script check source-sample.tex

This allowed me to spot the problem with the unclosed brace (mentioned
before).

Really sorry for causing you problems when updating the modules, Taco.

I had no idea that non-numeric releases were problematic with symbolic
linking.

I made that change to avoid having two releases with the same date (I
think this also may give issues with symlinks).

Well, I realize that if I make a wrong release, I have to number the new
version with only numbers (and maybe points instead of hyphens).

Sorry again for giving problems and many thanks for your work,

[NTG-context] issue with module update

[Pablo Rodriguez via ntg-context]

Dear list,

I have just updated a module named PresVoz.

I get the standard directory
(https://modules.contextgarden.net/dl/presvoz/) and
(https://modules.contextgarden.net/dl/presvoz-{%version%}.zip), but no
https://modules.contextgarden.net/dl/presvoz.zip (with current version).

So when updating the module, I get it only uninstalled.

The two most recent updates (this one and the one before) had this issue.

Is there something I am missing here?

Many thanks your your help,

Many thanks for your reply, Hans.

I will wikify this, once I figure out where it can fit in the wiki (in
due time, since ConTeXt is more and more complex for me lately and my
free time is less and less these days).

I only used \enableexperiments[fonts.compact] and then \em.

I thought when I (mis)read your messages that compact fonts is the way
to go in LMTX.

This was the reason I enabled them (the sooner we test new features
today, the less issues will be faced with them tomorrow).

\glyphslant came into the conversation after experiencing an issue
triggered by enabling compact fonts.

Sorry for being explicitly verbose, but I intend to have the \em
behavior also fixed in compact fonts.

Many thanks for your help,

[NTG-context] weird character normalization in the wiki

[Pablo Rodriguez via ntg-context]

Dear list,

https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Greek#Monotonic_and_Acute_Accent includes
two samples that should display the difference betweeen the monotonic
accent and the polytonic acute accent (which generate two different
characters for each such accented vowel).

Excluding other implications, these are two different characters. In
some fonts each pair of different characters for each accented letter
lead to the same glyph, in other fonts those glyphs are different.

This sample shows the difference (there should display two slightly
different accents [unless there is some character normalization on the
way]):

  \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][EBGaramond]
  \setupbodyfont[mainface, 500pt]
  \definecolor [tred]  [r=1,t=.5,a=1]
  \definecolor [tblue] [b=1,t=.25,a=1]
  \starttext
  \startTEXpage[offset=1ex]
  \startoverlay
{\color[tred]{Ά}}
{\color[tblue]{Ά}}
  \stopoverlay
  \stopTEXpage
  \stoptext

The problem that I have is tricky. Thanks to character normalization (at
least in Firefox), searching for "á" will also find "a" (unless “Match
diacritics” is enabled).

I’m afraid the wiki is performing some character normalization, which
renders samples in
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Greek#Monotonic_and_Acute_Accent useless.

Searching for "Ά" in https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Greek should give
not more than 4 matches (not case-sensitive and with “Match diacritics”
[or similar filter for your browser] enabled). I‘m afraid I get none.

While editing the article searching for "Ά" (case-insensitive and not
normalizing characters), gave me 4 matches, but only in the source (no
ocurrence was found in the preview).

Once changes are saved, "Ά" occurrences dissapear (since they seem to be
normalized).

Sure, they may be a workaround to type codepoints instead of characters
(such as with \utfchar{0x1fbb}, but wouln’t it be possible to disable
that character normalization in the wiki?

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

Sorry, my LuaTeX is getting slanted b and d ("c" was my typo).

But I see what was causing my issue (line from
~/texmf/texmf-local/cont-loc.mkxl):

  \enableexperiments[fonts.compact]

Which seeems weird to me. Or at least, I thought I read that Hans
enabled it by default in LMTX.

fonts or by doing it twice.

[NTG-context] \em issue in MkXL (2024.03.05 11:26)

[Pablo Rodriguez via ntg-context]

Dear list,

the following latest gets differents results when compiled with MkXL and
MkIV (in current latest from 2024.03.05 11:26):

  \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][TeX Gyre Termes]
[features={default, quality},
 it={style: regular, features:{default, quality, slanted}},
 sl={style: regular, features:{default, quality, slanted}}]

  \setupbodyfontenvironment
  [default]

  \setupbodyfont[mainface]
  \starttext
  \startTEXpage[offset=1em]
  a\\
  \em b\\
  \em c\\
  \em d\\
  \stopTEXpage
  \stoptext

LMTX gets b, c and d in slanted form.

LuaTeX gets only b and c in slanted form.

I think LMTX may have an issue here.

Now I have the minimal sample:

  \startxmlsetups xml:title:author
\xmlflush{#1}
  \stopxmlsetups

  \setupinteraction[state=start]
  \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{demo}{}
  \stoptext

With \setupmetadata it breaks compilation.

I know it is not the most elegant code, but in my real environment
xml:title:author outputs text.

I‘m afraid this new command breaks my compilation.

Sorry for not having answered before, Wolfgang.

I’m afraid I don’t get how \ifcase is deployed with as conditional
(being \ifcase used to give numbers for weekdays or months).

The semicolon is also mysterious to me, I don’t know what it does there
in plain language.

Sorry, I know it has to be simple, but the syntax is too cryptic for me.

Could you write the first line in plain language?

Sorry for asking that. I’m afraid this would be the only way I could get
what \ifcase is doing there.

BTW, neither your command, nor mine work in my real world document. But
this would be another issue.

[NTG-context] missing metadata in LMTX

[Pablo Rodriguez via ntg-context]

Dear list,

this issue has been bugging me for some time:

  \startbuffer[demo]
  

   author
   title


  text

  
  \stopbuffer

  \starttext

  \startxmlsetups xml:initialize
\xmlsetsetup{#1}{code|meta|text}{xml:*}
  \stopxmlsetups

  \xmlregistersetup{xml:initialize}

  \startxmlsetups xml:doc
\xmlflush{#1}
  \stopxmlsetups

  \startxmlsetups xml:meta
\setupinteraction
  [author={\xmltext{#1}{/author}},
   title={\xmltext{#1}{/title}}]
  \stopxmlsetups

  \startxmlsetups xml:text
 \xmlflush{#1}
  \stopxmlsetups

  \setupinteraction[state=start]
  \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{demo}{}
  \stoptext

With LuaTeX, I get PDF metadata. With LuaMetaTeX, I cannot get them.

For both, I’m using current latest (from 2024.02.27 09:21).

Could anyone confirm the issue or explain me what I am missing?

Many thanks for your help,

[NTG-context] issue mixing font features (LMTX & MkIV)

[Pablo Rodriguez via ntg-context]

Dear list,

I have the following sample:

  \definefontfeature[wider][extend=2]

  \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][TeX Gyre Pagella]
[features={default, quality, wider},
 it={style: regular, features:{default, slanted, quality}},
 bf={style: regular, features:{default, boldened-30}},
 bi={style: regular, features:{default, boldened-30, slanted}}]

  \setupbodyfont
[mainface, 30pt]

  \starttext
  \startTEXpage[offset=1ex]
  a
  {\it a}\\
  {\bf a}
  {\bi a}
  \stopTEXpage
  \stoptext

With current latest (2024.02.27 09:21), LuaTeX gets boldened and slanted
for regular (but the other fonts cannot inherit the wider feature and
wider will not mix with boldened-30 [even when specified]).

For some reason, LMTX from current latest cannot get slanted and
boldened-30 (but it mixes the inherited wider feature in all fonts).

This began to behave differently in latest from 2024.01.08 11:23 (which
is my next version after the one from 2023.09.26 18:19).

Could anyone confirm the issue?

[NTG-context] issues scaling glyphs of Twemoji Mozilla

[Pablo Rodriguez via ntg-context]

Dear list,

I have the following sample:

  \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][TeX Gyre Termes]

Using current latest from both MkIV and LMTX, I cannot scale the emoji flag.

Latest font release can be directly download from

Am I missing something to scale the glyph properly?

Hi Jean-Pierre,

in its simplest form, a booklet may be:

  \setuppapersize[A4][A3, landscape]
  \setuparranging[2UP]
  \starttext
  \dorecurse{28}{\section{Section}\input zapf}

Replying to myself, this is a command to compute next numbers before and

 \orelse\ifnum\modulonumber{4}{#1} = 3
   \the\numexpr #1 + 2

  \dorecurse{25}{\recurselevel: \beforequadruplenumber{\recurselevel}\\}

If the link is missing, you may have missed to enable interaction (see
first line of sample below).

If parentheses (brackets are []) is what you want to remove, please
modify the sample below to display them (I simply don’t get them [sorry,
but this is my first document with a theorem]).

Other than that, I must confess I cannot imagine what is the issue you

But don’t hesitate to ask with a more verbose description.

Hi Massi,

many thanks for your reply.

If ConTeXt relies on that condition to stop compilation, then it would
be great to know how it is performed to invoke os.rename only on when
the condition takes place.

It would be as to write:

  if x or environment.currentrun >= environment.maxnofruns then
os.rename(pdf_file, ("%s-%s.pdf"):format(tex.jobname, sha_pdf))
  end

"x" would be the condition where the .tua/.tuc files are identical.

Do you know where that condition is written in the code, so ConTeXt
doesn’t perform another run?

Many thanks for your help,

Many thanks for your reply, Bruce.

\page[quadruple] works fine putting content on realpage numbers that can
be divided by 4 (with modulo 0).

As far as I get, Michael was looking to place content on realpage
numbers get modulo 3 when divided by 4.

At least, this is what would fit my needs to place the imprint on the
(excuse the Latin adjective [before the last]) penultima page of a booklet.

This is why beforequadruple would make sense. I guess some Lua magic
could do that, computing x to the follwing page that "x % 4 = 3" (and
then \page[x]).

I will try to find a trick for that, but not now.

[NTG-context] \getdocumentfilename or document.files

I compile it with:

  context --purgeall a b c

"b.tex" is a different file and "c.tex" is a symlink to "a.tex".

I only get the first filename for "a.tex" and the last filename for "c.tex".

Which is the right way to get the second and third filenames when in
"a.pdf" (or the first two ones in "c.pdf")?

Hi Uschi,

if you define Paragaph, then you should use \startParagaph (and
\stopParagaph).

Even if that works, it would be better to nest commands (\starttext

Narrower refers to margins. Extra space between words would be something
different (at least, as far as I get it).

That being said, I have no idea how to get different inter-word spacing.

Hi Wolfgang,

I’m also interested a solution for this.

I’m afraid I cannot make your sample work:

  \setuppapersize[A5][A4, landscape]
  \setuparranging[2UP]
  \setuppagenumbering[alternative={singlesided,doublesided}]

  \starttext
  \samplefile{lorem}
  \page[quadruple]
  page before the quadruple (must be 3, not 4)
  \page[yes, quadruple]
  page before the quadruple (must be 7, not 8)
  \stoptext

I haven’t tested what
"\setuppagenumbering[alternative={singlesided,doublesided}]" would cause
in my documents.

In any case, I get real quadruple, not before the quadruple.

What am I missing here?

Hi Bruce,

this totally makes sense to me.

But (shame on me!) this is the first time I will type context followed
by two files.

This is also the first time when I see that invoking ConTeXt with more

[NTG-context] output filename with SHA256

[Pablo Rodriguez via ntg-context]

Dear list,

I have the following sample file:

\starttext
whatever

\startluacode
luatex.wrapup(
  function()
local t = {}
local pdf_file_name = tex.jobname..".pdf"
local sha_pdf = utilities.sha2.hash256(io.loaddata(pdf_file_name))
local c_r = environment.currentrun
t[c_r] =  sha_pdf
local exists_pdf = ("%s_%s-%s.pdf"):format(c_r-1, tex.jobname, t[c_r-1])
if io.exists(exists_pdf) then os.remove(exists_pdf) end
os.rename(pdf_file_name, ("%s_%s-%s.pdf"):format(c_r, tex.jobname,
sha_pdf))
  end
)
\stopluacode
\stoptext

In short, it adds its SHA256 to the final filename.

Since renames the PDF document in each run, I would like to remove the
output from the previous run.

The table seems not to store the value from a previous run.

I see now that I am creating it again with each run.

Is there any way to check if compilation needs any other run?

Hi Uschi and Gavin,

I will try to go the same way you propose, Gavin. Otherwise, Uschi may
find it hard to follow totally independent suggestions.

Uschi, if you are compiling your ConTeXt sources using WinEdt, your
issue might be the wrong button (or the wrong keystroke combination).

You might be invoking pdflatex directly, or maybe a button or keystroke
combination is labelled ConTeXt and it may really be invoking pdflatex.

In that case, you have to check WinEdt to see which command is run when
you start the compilation process (which command you really invoke).

Another way to see which ConTeXt binary you invoke would be to type in
the command prompt "context --version" (with no path specified) and
"where context".

But this is independent from the issue that you get pdflatex when you
intend context.

I hope it helps now,

Sorry, dear Uschi, but I’m afraid that I’m on Linux and WinEdt is
totally unknown to me.

That being said, if the messages from your computer are in German, there
is no problem with the language (after all, https://www.deepl.com/ is an
option too).

Reading your log (which I simply ignored and Gavin took care to read it
[totally my fault]), the first line you get is:

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592653-2.6-1.40.25 (TeX Live 2023)
(preloaded format=pdflatex 2024.2.6)  19 FEB 2024 12:41

The engine you are using is pdfTeX (from TeX Live 2023). In ConTeXt
terms, this is almost ancient (»uralt«).

ConTeXt MkII used pdfTeX as engine. In MkIV, the engine is LuaTeX. The
latest engine is LuaMetaTeX for what is named either LMTX or MkXL.

The format file is for pdfLaTeX, so ConTeXt cannot really do anything
with it. It is consistent that ConTeXt complains about not finding the
format file.

If you still happen to have the brand new installation on your desktop
(and "test-doc.tex" [sorry, but redo if required]), open the command
prompt and do the following:

  cd %USERPROFILE%\Desktop
  set PATH=%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin

For that window (or session), your system will be able to find only the
path to the latest ConTeXt.

This will prevent TeX Live 2023 messing with ConTeXt (well, if
system-wide paths are not set for TeX Live [you might check that with
"echo %PATH%" after setting the path as explained in the previous command]).

After that, you may run:

  mtxrun --generate && context test-doc.tex

If this works, the installation of TeX Live seems to set paths in a way
that prevent ConTeXt to work.

In that case, you would have to ask about that on the TeX Live list.

I hope it helps now,

Pablo

Dear Uschi,

it is really hard to know what is wrong with your installation (other
than it ConTeXt is not able to find your format file).

Sorry if this message is painfully verbose, but I will try not to take
anything for granted (so I don’t overlook anything relevant).

Could you save a new "test-doc.tex" file in your desktop directory
(which would be named "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\test-doc.tex" [including
its full path])?

"%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\test-doc.tex" should contain:

  \starttext
  \input zapf
  \stoptext

Please, compile it by simply invoking ("cd %USEPROFILE%\Desktop\" might
be required before):

  context test-doc

If you get the same error message:

> startup error : no format file given, quitting

You might try (to make the format file):

  context --make --all

Then, try compiling again (run "context test-doc").

If you get the same error message, let’s try a brand-new installation
(not removing any existing one).

Get http://lmtx.pragma-ade.nl/install-lmtx/context-mswin.zip (if you use
Windows 32bt) or
http://lmtx.pragma-ade.nl/install-lmtx/context-win64.zip (for Windows
64bit) into "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\".

Unzip the downloaded file to a newly created folder in your desktop
("%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\context").

Double-click on "install.bat" that you just uncompressed.

You have to add the new path, so that Windows may find your executables.

Open a new terminal (I guess it is called “command prompt” [or
»Eingabeaufforderung«] in Windows-parlance) and paste (if you have
ConTeXt for 32bit):

  set PATH=%PATH%;%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin

Or this (if you use ConTeXt for 64bit):

  set PATH=%PATH%;%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\context\tex\texmf-win64\bin

Then, on the same window (since this only sets paths for the current
session), run:

  mtxrun --generate && cd %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\ && context test-doc.tex

Just in case you wonder, the first command is required for any brand-new
install. The second command sets the desktop as your current directory
(where you should have "test.doc.tex"). And the third command compiles
that source document.

If none of all my previous suggestions works, sorry but I cannot figure
out what might be preventing ConTeXt from finding the format files.

Just in case it might help,

[NTG-context] /AFRelationship for attachments

[Pablo Rodriguez via ntg-context]

Dear list,

the new lpdf-wid.lmt contains in lines 302 and 377:

  local relation  = specification.relation or "Unspecified"

  AFRelationship = pdfconstant(relation),

The following sample compiled with current latest:

  \setupinteraction[state=start]
  \starttext
  attachment\attachment[method=hidden, relation=Data, file=xml-mkiv.pdf]
  \stoptext

Gives the following object:

  2 0 obj

/AFRelationship /Unspecified
/EF <<
  /F 1 0 R
>>
/F (xml-mkiv.pdf)
/Type /Filespec
/UF

Sorry, but which is the right way to specify the /AFRelationship for
embedded documents?

Hi Thomas,

This is the reason why your results differ with distance set to 0pt.

To get offset in the frame of the image, you need a different frame from

Hi Ali,

Hi Shiv Shankar Dayal,

I guess that “The TeXbook” (having been written by Knuth himself) may be
optimized for speed.

Your math book may use features (I’m guessing again) that require more
resources than the features used by “The TeXbook”.

> Why LuaMetaTeX is so slow? How can I speed it up?

https://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/musings.pdf#page=96 might
explain why Lua(Meta)TeX is slower.

Other chapters in that document from Hans might give you some insight on
the reasons why LMTX has to pay a price for being more feature-rich. I
got such impression when I read it.

[NTG-context] scaling tweaked fonts

[Pablo Rodriguez via ntg-context]

Hi Hans,

I have the following sample which behaves differently after latest from
2023.09.26 18:19:

\definetweakedfont[wider][xscale=1075]
\starttext
\startTEXpage[align=center]
\contextversion\\
\wider \contextversion
\stopTEXpage
\stoptext

Up to that version, no scaling was 1000, after that one no scaling became 1.

This should be the reason behind my previous issue about too large sizes
in the first latest from 2024
(https://mailman.ntg.nl/archives/list/ntg-context@ntg.nl/thread/JVB7AWJE53NW4AAE3ODUQN6GB34IBO5X/).

I just want to confirm that this change was intended.

  \starttext

Compiling the sample with current latest (2024.01.08 11:23), LMTX puts
Latin Modern Roman (no bold) and MkIV puts Termes (no bold).

The results with previous latest (2023.09.26 18:19), cover is in Termes
bold with LMTX and in Termes regular with MkIV.

I guess there might be an issue here. Could anyone confirm this?

[NTG-context] issue with \setuptyping (and XML sources)

[Pablo Rodriguez via ntg-context]

Dear list,

the issue I’m experiencing comes from XML sources typeset with ConTeXt.

I have tried, but I found no way to get a minimal sample.

For code fragments in the XML source, I use:

  \bgroup\xmlprettyprinttext{#1}{none}\egroup

To which I apply:

  \setuptyping
[style={\tt\wider},
 margin=yes,
 align={right, broad},
 blank={3*halfline},
 before={\blank[3*halfline]},
 after={\blank[3*halfline]}]

Could anyone be so kind to explain me why the first three options from
\setuptyping work (style, margin and alignment), and the other three
don’t work at all?

Sorry, I think it has to be a stupid mistake of mine (but I don’t know
which one it might be).

[NTG-context] install-modules script and git URLs

Hi Hraban and Taco,

the install-modules script doesn’t allow .tar.gz as compression format
to install modules.

.tar.gz seems to be the compression format offered for modules that are
uploaded using a git URL.

Hraban explained in August that thee server could be configured to get
.zip compression for modules in git checkout.

Sorry, I know that you are both very busy, but could it be this issue fixed?

Using git to upload module versions is way more easy than uploading .zip
files.

Many thanks for your reply, Hraban.

I understood my issue with your reply (I known, your answer is intended
to Uschi).

It is also in the sent file:

 Creator:
   LuaMetaTeX 2.10.11 20230908 + ConTeXt LMTX 2023.09.26 18:19

I will try to explain what I understand from this (intended for Uschi).

Given that there are two modules (m-zint and zint), there are two options:

1. Either you use the LMTX module (\usemodule[zint]) and you need the
Zint library (as explained in
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Barcodes#Zint_module).

2. Or you use the MkIV module (\usemodule[m-zint]) and you need the Zint
binary installed and CMD should be able to invoke it (already knowing
its past).

You may have the Zint binary installed, ConTeXt may be generating the
required EPS files, but either Inkscape is not installed (or its path is
unknown to the system), or ConTeXt cannot simply find where the
converted PDF versions of the zint images are.

If I have the following source in testing-barcodes.tex:

  \usemodule[m-zint]
  \starttext
  \startTEXpage[offset=1dk]
  \barcode[alternative=isbnx, text=9783865419026, width=4cm]
  \stopTEXpage
  \stoptext

ConTeXt compiles it generating to extra files (when compared to the pure
zint module for LMTX only):

  zint-isbnx-fe90eda0e93cf020312eps
  m_k_i_v_zint-isbnx-fe90eda0e93cf020312_eps_c60ccda70ef.pdf

(Removed some characters in strings so file names fit in a single line.)

The first file is generated by the Zint binary itself. The second one is
the automatic conversion (through Inkscape) that ConTeXt needs to embed
EPS (and SVG) files in the final PDF document.

If m_k_i_v_zint-*.pdf files are missing, the problem might be that
Inkscape isn’t installed (or its path is unknown to the system).

If also zint-*.eps files are missing, you should find where Zint is
generating them.

Just in case it might help,

Hi Uschi,

I‘m on Linux64 using LuaMetaTEx.

Contrary to the explanation from
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Barcodes#Zint_module, I need the zint
package installed on Fedora.

I have safely removed the whole contents of
tex/texmf-linux64/bin/lib/luametatex/lib/zint (actually, I removed
tex/texmf-linux64/bin/lib).

But if Zint is not installed on my system, I get a compilation error,
not a simply not found error.

My error message reads:

  sh: line 1: zint: command not found
  zint --barcode=isbnx  --output= […]

At least on Linux64, it seems that barcode generation with Zint requires
its binary.

For Windows, your ConTeXt distribution might be missing the library (as
described in the wiki link provided).

Just in case it might help,

Pablo

Many thanks for your reply, Bruce.

The following code seems to solve my issues:

  \def\MyGoTo#1[#2]{\setupinteraction[state=start, style=,
  display=new, color=, contrastcolor=,
  page={auto,name},
  focus=standard]%
\goto{#1}[#2]}
  \setupinteraction[state=start, style=,
  display=new, color=, contrastcolor=,
  page={no},
  focus=standard]

I didn’t thought this issue would be so easy to be solved.

Many thanks for your fast reply, Bruce.

I wanted to reply much sooner, but it was really impossible for me.

>From your explanation, the first link (body to footnote, your point b)
has destination to fit the whole page inside the viewer.

The second link (footnote to body, your point c) has the destination to
reach a position inside the page (where the destination lies). This is
what "focus=standard" should achieve.

In PDF terms (simplified), fit to page destinations are /Fit
destinations and placed destinations are /XYZ destinations.

This sample shows what might be the root issue here:

  \setupinteraction[state=start, page=name, focus=standard]
  \starttext
  \completecontent
  \chapter{Chapter}
  a\footnote{b}
  \stoptext

ConTeXt handles internally links in categories. For some reason unknown
to me, "page=name" triggers that special operation links contain /Fit
instead /XYZ destinations.

This is similar to the wrong link destinations (fit instead of standard)
from TOC (but not in footnotes [which are right]) when compiled with MkIV:

  \setupinteraction[state=start, focus=standard]
  \starttext
  \completecontent
  \chapter{Chapter}
  a\footnote{b}
  \stoptext

I hope it is clearer now. Let me know if it is not.

My issue is that I cannot avoid having "page=name" for links to external
documents, but this breaks footnotes and other special operation links.

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

Hi Miguel,

Section blocks are intended for that.

Just a comment, if your cover (or title) page involves a one and only
single page, you may use makeups, such as in:

  \starttext
  \startmakeup[standard][pagestate=start]
  \dorecurse{25}{\input knuth}
  \stopmakeup
  \stoptext

My sample explicitly displays that makeups are intended for a single page.

Since actual content for that makeup would fit in six pages without the
makeup, it looks weird inside it.

If you are showing your code to list members, fine.

Sorry, but if there is a question here, I’m afraid you need to be more
explicit asking your question.

Just some comments:

> %%

> %%%

In a minimal sample, comments as the previous one don’t provide any clue
to understand your code or the issue you might be dealing with.

It is wiser to keep the sample to its minimal form.

>   \setuppagenumbering[location=]

It is better to provide actual content than a file name.

BTW, if its contents cannot be in more than a single page, the approach
suggested above might be easier.

Empty brackets are not required here.

I would say that this is extremely small even for an "x" to fit in.

Again, just in case it might help,

Hi Miguel,

sorry, but I don’t have any idea what \linespread might mean for LaTeX
in plain English.

Some ConTeXt users may also use LaTeX too, but don’t rely on that.

As far as I know, em is defined by the width of the capital 'M' and ex
is defined by the height of the lowercase 'x'.

With your requirements, I think it is easier to set line spacing to one
and a half line with 1.5em, such as in:

  \setupbodyfont[termes]
  \starttext
  \the\exheight\\
  \the\dimexpr3\exheight\\
  \the\emwidth
  \the\dimexpr1.5\emwidth\\
  \stoptext

Just in case it might help,

Hi Miguel,

I don’t use the grid. This is also the default in ConTeXt.

I’m not sure whether I’m getting your point here.

See what the difference between not enabling the grid and enabling it:

  \showframe\showgrid
  \setupwhitespace[medium]
  \starttext
\input knuth
  \setuplayout[grid=yes]\page
\input knuth
  \stoptext

As said, ConTeXt is \setuplayout[grid=no] by default.

As far as I can recall it, the default value is
\setupinterlinespace[line=2.85ex].

I have just discovered that with values such as line=1.3ex,
\setuplayout[grid=yes] behaves very differently than with values such as
line=2ex (and above).

I mean, lines follow the grid when the text fits. See the difference with:

  \showframe\showgrid
  \setupinterlinespace[line=1.3ex]
  \starttext
\dorecurse{25}{asa aeo eau}
  \setuplayout[grid=yes]\page
\dorecurse{25}{asa aeo eau}
  \stoptext

According to https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Grid_typesetting (feel free
to improve the article), a way of solving this would be to wrap your
stuff inside:

  \startlinecorrection
  ...
  \stoplinecorrection

The problem is that your interline space is too small to prevent line
collapsing.

ex is the height of the lowercase 'x'. Are you sure that your school
doesn’t require 1.3em (height of capital 'M') as interline space instead?

You can get yourself the values:

  \starttext
  \the\exheight\\
  %\the \dimexpr1.3\exheight\\
  \the\emwidth
  \stoptext

The first line will give you 1ex is about 5.7pt (with the default font
used by ConTeXt). 1.3ex would be less than 6.75pt.

The value of 1em is the value of the font size. Default for ConTeXt is
12pt, so 1em has to be 12pt.

I think it is clear now that an interline space of 1.3ex calls for line
overlapping.

That being said, I don’t know why the grid avoids collapsing them (if
the person explicitly asks for this).

See the wiki article above. The mailing list is also a way of getting help.

One suggestion, please always provide a minimal working sample (that can
be copied, pasted and compiled automatically), when you ask for help.

How minimal? Well, they cannot lack essential parts to be compiled.
Other than that, they should only contain required content to reproduce
your issue.

This minimal working sample helps the one who reads to understand what
you are dealing with.

Otherwise, it is really hard to understand which kind of issue you might
be facing (consider that no one else may read your mind or be in front
of your computer).

I hope it might help,

[NTG-context] wrong destination types?

[Pablo Rodriguez via ntg-context]

Dear list,

I have the following sample:

  \setupinteraction[state=start, page=name, focus=standard]
  \starttext
  a\footnote{b}
  \stoptext

In \setupinteraction, "focus=standard" is ignored when I use "page=name".

I mean, link destinations are to the full page and they alter the page
view (when the document is not viewed as full page).

Sorry, I don’t have other way to say it. I should get (only named
destination value):

  7 0 obj
  <<
/D [ 6 0 R /XYZ 76.84458 722.7349 null ]
  >>
  endobj

And I’m getting:

  4 0 obj
  <<
/D [ 1 0 R /Fit ]
/S /GoTo
  >>
  endobj

Could anyone confirm the issue or explain me what I’m doing wrong?

BTW, "page=name" is required for references to named destinations in
external documents.

I get the same results with both LMTX and MkIV from current latest
(2023.09.26 18:19).

Many thanks for your explanation, Michal.

I was totally ignorant of the page key in \setupinteraction.

It works fine now, with both the options you provided (and the patch,
many thanks for both).

I have accidentally discovered an issue in which users may run in an
uninteded ways.

If many destinations have the same identifier, only the first one is
generated.

Using the following sample:

  \setupinteraction[state=start,
focus=standard]
  \starttext
  \dorecurse{5}{\dorecurse{5}
{\chapter[\recurselevel]{Chapter}
  \section[sec-\recurselevel]{Section}}}
  \stoptext

Of course, this kind of identifiers have to be unique to be useful, but
I wonder whether they may be created adding something like:

  identifier
  identifier-1
  identifier-2
  identifier-3
  …
  identifier-n

This way (or a similar one) all named destinations are created.

Of course, when linking with \goto, \in, \at, \about, the right
identifier should be chosen.

With links within the same document, correcting the identifier (or the
link destination) is a trivial matter.

With links from external documents, there may be no option to generate
the external files again. If destinations are there, inspecting the
external document is an option.

Would it be possible that already given destination identifiers could
automatically have another indentifier to generate a new destination?

I hope my explanation is clear. Let me know if it isn’t and I try to
ellaborate it further (in a clearer way ).

Many thanks for your help again,

[NTG-context] named destinations in /GoToR

[Pablo Rodriguez via ntg-context]

Dear list,

imagine I have a PDF document (named "whatever.pdf") such as the one
generated from this source:

  \setupinteraction[state=start,
focus=standard]
  \starttext
  \dorecurse{5}
{\chapter[\recurselevel]{Chapter}
  \section[sec-\recurselevel]{Section}}
  \stoptext

This source only samples PDF documents not generated with ConTeXt. This
means that no .tuc file may be available and named destinations may
contain only digits.

Then I need to access some named destinations from a document such as:

  \setupinteraction[state=start,
focus=standard]
  \starttext
  \dorecurse{5}
{\goto{Chapter \recurselevel}[whatever.pdf::\recurselevel],
  \goto{section \recurselevel}[whatever.pdf::sec-\recurselevel]\par}
  \stoptext

Sorry, but after reading again lpdf-ano.mkxl I’m not sure whether I can
get named destinations (such as "/D (4)" or "/D (sec-3)") and how I
could get them.

With the previous code, the only destination reads in the PDF source:

  5 0 obj
  <<
/D [ 0 /Fit ]
/F (whatever.pdf)
/S /GoToR
  >>
  endobj

From the user perspective, it is important to know that the full page is
included in the document (which may lead to unintended consequences).

I have accidentally discovered this myself the other day and I’m going
to check the wiki to add this information (if not included).

[NTG-context] hard clipping in ConTeXt?

[Pablo Rodriguez via ntg-context]

Dear list,

I have the following sample:

  \setuplayout[page]
  \starttext
\clip[hoffset=5mm, voffset=5mm, width=15mm, height=15mm]
{\externalfigure[xml-mkiv.pdf]}
  \stopnotmode
  \stoptext

Using PDF.js (from current Firefox), xpdf, Evince, mupdf-gl, the viewer
is able to find "dealing", altough it cannot be displayed.

Okular and Sumatra (with Wine in Linux) are not able to find "dealing".

Is there any way to have a hard clipping in ConTeXt?

I mean, that only the contents of the clipped section is added to the
resulting PDF document?

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

According to https://www.ferd-net.de/standards/zugferd/, they may even
be two different things (but I haven’t checked it).

Someone told some time ago that https://github.com/speedata/publisher
implements ZugFeRD. Again, no idea how or to which extent.

https://zugferd.github.io/ provides more info. Version 2 of ZUGFeRD
seems to be Factur-X (according to them).

If you allow me the pun (as a foreigner and non-native speaker), the
name seems to be too near to something like »Zug-Pferd« (I know it is
nonsense in German, but ZUGFeRD seems the name for an act or a
regulation [which German-speaking countries love to do]).

Just in case it might help (for the links),

Pablo

[NTG-context] Re: command to process CSV file (database module)

Replying to myself, thanks to the wiki
(https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Commands_with_optional_arguments).

It seems that the command has to be defined as unexpanded, such as in:

  \setupinteraction[state=start]
  \setupattachments[method=hidden]
  \usemodule[database]

  \starttext

  \unexpanded\def\ItemContents#1#2#3{\doiftext{#2}
{\item {\em #1}\attachment[file=#2, name=\currentitemnumber-#2]%
  \doiftext{#3}{ (also available at #3)}}}

  \defineseparatedlist
 [test]
 [separator={,},
  quotechar={"},
  before={\startitemize[n]},after={\stopitemize},
  first={\ItemContents},last={.},
  left={\{},right={\}}]

  \processdatabasefile[test][context-documents.csv]

  \stoptext

It is not clear for me why is this needed, but it might be one of the
many aspects of expansion that average users cannot understand from TeX.

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

[NTG-context] command to process CSV file (database module)

[Pablo Rodriguez via ntg-context]

Dear list,

These are the following first four lines of a CSV file:

,,
"About \LuaTeX\ and
\ConTeXt","about.pdf","https://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/about.pdf;
"l2r, r2l: A Few
Tips","bidi.pdf","https://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/bidi.pdf;
"Flowcharts","charts-mkiv.pdf",

Faking a command such as \cA, \cB and \cC (for contents of columns A, B
or C) I would like to create a source document with an enumeration that
contains:

  \doiftext{\cB}
{\item {\em\cA}\attachment[file=\cB]%
  \doiftext{\cC}{ (also available at \cC)}.}

I would like to do that with the "database" module.

So far I have adapted the itemize environment, but I don't get the
contents for items right:

  \usemodule[database]

  \starttext

  \def\ItemContents#1#2#3{\doiftext{#2}
{\item {\em #1}\attachment[file=#2]%
  \doiftext{#3}{ (also available at #3)}.}}

  \defineseparatedlist
 [test]
 [separator={,}, % tab
  quotechar={"}, % tab
  before={\startitemize[n]},after={\stopitemize},
  first={\ItemContents},last={.},
  left={\{},right={\}}]

  \processdatabasefile[test][context-documents.csv]

  \stoptext

I get an error about an unexpected symbol near "\" in the line of
"\processdatabasefile".

Could anyone enlighten me about what I am missing here?

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

Anton,

it works as you intend:

  \starttext
  \startusableMPgraphic{MetaCirc}
   draw fullcircle
   xyscaled
  (OverlayWidth-OverlayLineWidth,OverlayHeight-OverlayLineWidth)
   withpen pencircle scaled OverlayLineWidth

Hi Mia,

opening your attachment with Firefox 119 (and the version of PDF.js that
comes with it) on Linux, I was not able to find any white line in your
attachment or in the output from the you source (with zoom set to 400%).

Just in case it might help,

Hans,

since this is related to OCG, a minor improvement.

/Export (inside /Usage) is actually a dictionary with a single entry
(/ExportState) and values /ON and /OFF (from the PDF spec
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/adobe/dc-acrobat-sdk-docs/master/docs/standards/pdfstandards/pdf/PDF32000_2008.pdf#search=ExportState):

The attached patch fixes this issue.

Many thanks for your help,

[NTG-context] Fwd: [veraPDF-users] Development Preview: PDF file checker based on the Arlington PDF Model

[Pablo Rodriguez via ntg-context]

Dear list,

it is still early development, but this tool might be extremely useful
to check PDF documents.

Direct link to downloads (version 1.25 doesn’t seem to be available):

  https://software.verapdf.org/develop/arlington/1.23

Just in case it might help,

Pablo

 Forwarded Message 
Subject: [veraPDF-users] Development Preview: PDF file checker based on
the Arlington PDF Model
Date:   Wed, 21 Jun 2023 12:35:12 +0100
  Dear all, 

On the 30th anniversary of PDF technology, we're excited to announce the
availability of the first development preview of a new veraPDF-powered
application. Building on the great work done by the PDF Association
supported by the Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA),
veraPDF has developed an open-source PDF checker based on the Arlington
PDF Model. This application is separate from the veraPDF PDF/A and
PDF/UA validator but comprises a very familiar package of GUI and
command-line applications.

*The Arlington PDF Model is an invaluable resource for anyone developing
or testing PDF tools. *Read more about the development here.

 

The veraPDF development team have utilised  Arlington in a way that's
compatible with the veraPDF architecture. The Arlington PDF Model-based
checker can now analyse PDF files against the full PDF 2.0
specification, including errata, by downloading the Java-based installer
(Win, MacOS, Linux, requires Java 8+ JRE installed) at veraPDF Software
Downloads . 

Best wishes,

Helena
