PDF tagging is being added to ConTeXt. This means that some features may need to be added yet. > I'm only just getting started with the /Not so Short Introduction/, and > of course have many questions which I think/hope I will be able to > answer myself from the documentation: I've not managed to load pstricks > or edmac, As for pstricks (never used it), I have just found that there is a module `m-pstrick', but it doesn’t work with LuaMetaTeX. I couldn’t make it work with LuaTeX either (sample from https://mailman.ntg.nl/archives/list/ntg-context@ntg.nl/message/RJR7MRTPR7S35OH4KWAWIOAMY3CRF5UB/). edmac is almost three decades old. If you want https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wujastyk/edmac/refs/heads/main/Wujastyk%20and%20Lavagnino_Edmac317%20book_1996.pdf#page=84, this should be achievable with ConTeXt (no modules needed). > for example, but this must be possible, and some primitives > such as \baselineskip seem to have disappeared LuaMetaTeX happens to have a primitive with the same name, https://www.pragma-ade.nl/general/manuals/luametatex.pdf#page=93. > together with the fontcall system I'm used to: > > \font\umirtenpointsevenfive = "MinionPro-Regular:+onum:mapping=tex- > text:letterspace=1.6" at 10.75pt Not clear to me what the second command (after `\font`) means in plain English. > [...] With my XeTeX-produced PDFs an audio > reader will simply read all of the main text on a page, then the > footnotes (the last of which may be split between pages), and then start > again on the next page - clearly annoying and unacceptable to those who > can't see the PDF.

I think LuaLaTeX may achieve that too (for your info). Not sure whether our tagging is that far now (with notes). I hope it helps, Pablo ___________________________________________________________________________________ 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 ___________________________________________________________________________________
