[NTG-context] Re: An announcement of my new book.
Thanks everyone for the suggestions on the manuals. I knew the resource reported by Alain and, of course, that of Joaquín, whose translation into Italian I have completed, but not yet refined. However, I didn't know the file reported by Mikael, which I found to be an excellent tutorial to get started with. The documentation on ConTeXt is copious, and we know it: just look at the manuals on Contextgarden. But it is decidedly fragmented, and this disorientates the user. I believe, therefore, that what the community misses is a tutorial/reference manual/complete guide that comes *directly* from the ConTeXt team (Hans, Wolfgang, etc). And, above all, that it is up to date: on Contextgarden many ‘valid’ manuals date back to many years ago, and the obsolescence of the software guides could make people say something like «well, stuff from years ago, I don't trust it». A manual in a single file that has, in short, the seal of officiality: the various resources in circulation are just as many excellent efforts by individuals, who however have put their own approach to ConTeXt into their work. Perhaps there is a more correct approach than others, more essential, which is worth knowing. I am speaking to you as a LaTeX user, and therefore I may have written a lot of nonsense in my message. I conclude by saying that, in the end, the ConTeXt team may not be interested in all this, and therefore our discussions are pure academic. :) Ciao Tommaso Il giorno gio 15 feb 2024 alle ore 12:13 Aditya Mahajan ha scritto: > On Thu, 15 Feb 2024, Mikael Sundqvist wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > This small example from BachoTeX 2023 could perhaps be useful for > > someone: https://github.com/mpsmath/stepbystep > > For tutorials, I had played around with using a git repo as a tutorial: > > https://github.com/adityam/context-slides-example/commits > > The following page is generated automatically from the git commit log: > https://adityam.github.io/context-blog/post/presentation-40-commits-redux/ > > Aditya > > ___ > If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to > the Wiki! > > maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / > https://mailman.ntg.nl/mailman3/lists/ntg-context.ntg.nl > webpage : https://www.pragma-ade.nl / https://context.aanhet.net (mirror) > archive : https://github.com/contextgarden/context > wiki : https://wiki.contextgarden.net > > ___ > ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / https://mailman.ntg.nl/mailman3/lists/ntg-context.ntg.nl webpage : https://www.pragma-ade.nl / https://context.aanhet.net (mirror) archive : https://github.com/contextgarden/context wiki : https://wiki.contextgarden.net ___

[NTG-context] Problem with LMTX on macOS: no format file given, quitting
Hello list, I am writing to you about a problem with ConTeXt LMTX and TeXShop 5.11 on macOS 12.6.3 (MacBook Air M2). Yesterday I installed LMTX on my computer following the instructions here: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Installing_ConTeXt_LMTX_on_MacOS The LMTX tree is correctly installed in the directory I've chosen: charlie@Air-di-Tommaso ~ % which luametatex /Users/charlie/Documents/ConTeXt/ConTeXt-LMTX/tex/texmf-osx-arm64/bin/luametatex charlie@Air-di-Tommaso ~ % type luametatex luametatex is /Users/charlie/Documents/ConTeXt/ConTeXt-LMTX/tex/texmf-osx-arm64/bin/luametatex charlie@Air-di-Tommaso ~ % luametatex --version This is LuaMetaTeX, Version 2.10.06 Execute 'luametatex --credits' for credits and version details.

Don't be fooled by unchanged dates: long-term stability is the objective. However, I also get this: charlie@Air-di-Tommaso ~ % luametatex startup error : no format file given, quitting Also, I created the TeXShop engine as indicated on the page (I've done it before with no problems). However, now when I run LMTX from editor to compose a source, the source is compiled with MkIV Standalone, which I have in another folder ( /Users/charlie/Documents/ConTeXt/ConTeXt-MkIV). LMTX doesn't even work from a terminal, of course. The curious thing is that even by launching the ConTeXt present in TeX Live, what really works is always MkIV Standalone. Do you have any idea where I might have gone wrong?

Re: [NTG-context] ConTeXt Standalone does not works on macOS Monterey with Apple M2 chip
While waiting for Mojca's attempts, for the moment I solved it by simply copying the folder of the old Mac in which I had installed the Standalone to the Mac M2. I have slightly modified the TeXShop scripts and everything works.

Hello list, I'm trying to install ConTeXt Standalone on my Mac (macOS 12.6 Monterey and Apple M2 chip) but at the end of the installation the ConTeXt-MkIV folder (where I install Standalone) on the disk weighs only 7MB (the tex tree is created, but its folders are empty). I've never had a problem installing it on my old computer (Intel processor). Do you know if it is a known problem?

[NTG-context] Font protrusion and expansion
Hello to all. I am writing to you just to know if the following code, with which I would like to activate the protrusion and expansion of characters in my document, is correct.

However, while following the directions contained here https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Modules#ConTeXt_LMTX the procedure to install the modules in the LMTX is not successful.

Now (last question), it's possibile to centering in the middle of the page

[NTG-context] Typesetting poetry with particular indenting
Hi everyone. I am typesetting a poetry text in triplets and I would like the second and third lines of each triplet to be indented (i.e., in the next example, verse no. 2, 3, 5, and 6). Is it possible to get what I ask for with ConTeXt? The most I managed to do is this: \starttext \setupindenting[yes,1em] \setuplines[indenting=even] \startlines Per correr miglior acque alza le vele omai la navicella del mio ingegno, che lascia dietro a sé mar sì crudele; e canterò di quel secondo regno dove l'umano spirito si purga e di salire al ciel diventa degno. \stoplines \stoptext but that's not what I want.

[NTG-context] Sources of Tutorial.text.pdf
Hi everyone, looking here and there on the Internet, I found a very interesting document by Aditya Mahajan and Willi Egger: *Beginners Tutorial. ConTeXt *( Tutorial-text.pdf), written in 2008 for the 2nd International ConTeXt User Meeting in Bohinj, Slovenia. This is a very interesting booklet, for me, congratulations to the authors! Are there also the sources of it, somewhere? I'd like to get some ideas for the ConTeXt guide in Italian that I'm planning. In particular, I appreciated the way in which the commands are presented: «do you need to do this? well, the commands that are useful to you are this and that». I really appreciated that. :-) Thank you in advance Thomas ___ 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] Which commands to use to show setups?
Hi Wolfgang,
thank you very much for your code, which works very well.
I still have a few doubts about one thing: is it possible that the commands
you suggested to me do not work with all ConTeXt commands?
For example, if I write
\usemodule [setups]
\starttext
\showdefinition [starttyping]
\stoptext
I get in the PDF
missing: starttyping
It's correct?
The second question concerns the \definition command.
As you can see in the attached PDF, a «and 1» appears below the definition.
It's correct?
Thank you in advance

[NTG-context] Which commands to use to show setups?
Hello, list.
In my ConTeXt guide, I need to show the syntax of ConTeXt commands.
Below I paste a MWE showing the different possible commands, but I do not
know if there are others.
I see, however, that the result is different depending on the command used.
Do you have any advice to give to me? Which of the commands in the code
should I use in a guide? Or better: do they have to be used according to
needs?
Are there other commands of this kind?
Thank you in advance

[NTG-context] A ConTeXt Guide in Italian
Hello everyone! This is my first message here. I'm trying to write a ConTeXt guide in Italian. The LaTeX *tcolorbox* package defines an environment dedicated to LaTeX examples: above (or on the left) the source is written, and below (or on the right) the typeset result. Is there something similar for ConTeXt? Does it make sense, in your opinion, to showing examples of source code with the related outputs in this way? Thanks in advance for any advice on this aspect of the guide and for any suggestions.
