Re: [NTG-context] weekend update
For a good number of years now I've been using P4D and P4V from Perforce for version control. As it happens it, one is able to control what ends up in the repository and what is left out, thankfully. Regardless, this should be very helpful Hans. It'll be great to be able to quickly scan the project files that matter, knowing that all the clutter is safely kept somewhere else. So thanks for this. Perforce, by the way. (Freely available for smaller projects): P4D https://www.perforce.com/downloads/helix-core-p4d P4V https://www.perforce.com/downloads/helix-visual-client-p4v And the diff tool is absolutely excellent (the reason I first went with it): https://www.perforce.com/downloads/visual-merge-tool Best, Richard -- *T* +6433121699 *M* +64210640216 *E* rmaho...@indica-et-buddhica.org *IM* https://t.me/rmahoney *W *https://indica-et-buddhica.org/** *Indica et Buddhica *Littledene Bay Road Oxford NZ <https://indica-et-buddhica.org/> - Original message - From: Hans Hagen To: mailing list for ConTeXt users Subject: [NTG-context] weekend update Date: Saturday, 24 July 2021 05:05 Hi, This time the update has, appart from already mentioned mp fixes and additions, another new feature. % runpath=texruns:whatever % runpath=e:/temporary/texruns/runtest % runpath=temp:texruns/runtest % runpath=home:texruns/runtest \starttext test \stoptext In context the first line can be used to control some aspects of the run and runpath (also as command line switch) will process the document elsewhere. The main reason for this feature is that when you have files in for instance a git repository (or export), you don't want the run path to be polluted by temporary files because everything can end up in the repository when it gets updates (after all these years I don't expect this pollution issue to be solved; svn is more explicit in what goes in). So, for instance the manuals are on clean paths (on my machine i (am) put(ting) experiments, todo's etc under an ignored /private subpath which means that styles can still be found if needed). The texruns: prefix resolves to an environment variable with the same name or when not set, to the temp directory. The temp: and home: prefixes resolve (as usual) to their counterparts (prefixes are a very old mkii mechanism but still useful). When not present a path will be created, when no chdir is possible the run aborts. There are probably some cases when resources are not found but that will be dealt with in due time. I might also update the underlying mechanisms at some point. I already adapted some manuals so that means that when users process these themselves they will not see the runfiles fly to the temp path unless 'texruns' is configured. So be it.

[NTG-context] date formatting
From Wikipedia:
In English-language
outside North America (mostly in Anglophone Europe and some countries in
Australasia), full dates are written as 7 December 1941 (or 7th December 1941)
and spoken as "the seventh of December, nineteen forty-one" (exceedingly common
usage of "the" and "of"), with the occasional [my emphasis] usage of December
7, 1941 ("December the seventh, nineteen forty-one"). In common with most
continental European usage, however, all-numeric dates are invariably ordered
dd/mm/.
From this I infer that \language[en] or \language[en-gb] should format dates
normally in day-month-year order, reserving mont-day-year for \language[us]
i.e. language[en-us].
But in ConTeXt both \language[en] and \language[en-gb] produce the us ordering
for \currentdate. I would be pleased if ConTeXt could be changed to the above
mentioned normal behaviour for english. That is [en] and [en-gb] produce the
day-month-year order and that [us] and [en-us] month-day-year.

The package is here: https://melusine.eu.org/syracuse/poulecl/mp-geo/ It looks like the last update was 2008 and I don’t read French, so I though my chances of getting anything to work were pretty small. However, I was pleasantly surprised that this MWE found the mp-geo package, the necessary Metapost files in the ConTeXt installation, and the data files. \starttext \startMPcode input mp-geo; figure(-10u,-10u,10u,10u); Mercator(3,48,30); fin; end \stopMPcode \stoptext While all of the files were found, it did not produce a globe. Instead I got an error complaining about an invalid character in the data files. This error is repeated for about 20 files (a small fraction of the total). I put the first error and its data file below. All the others are identical with different .dat files. Maybe it’s just an encoding mismatch or a hidden character I can easily delete or replace. On the other hand, maybe I shouldn't even be attempting this? 2008 is a long time ago in ConTeXt time. Feel free to tell me this project is crazy, but if you have an idea how I can make this work, I’d really appreciate it! It looks like a fun package. Looks interesting (I didn't know about it, also the surface stuff). Anyway, the message relates to scantokens not liking what gets read from a file, quite probably a missing file (I'll make it return a different message but still one needs to be aware of the fact that fiel reading in mp is kind of weird so it really expects a file). That said, there are some issues that you need to sort out: no btex/etex and no TEX command but textext instead. You could ask the authors. There are indeed funny characters in the files but nothing your bilingual local context user group member Alan couldn't help you with (a good reason to visit him.

Thank you for any tips or pointers.
The wiki page actually mentiones jmn symbols but these are by (the late)
Januz so that should be corrected.
Anyway, the wasy font symbol setup was never converted to mkiv so
attached is a draft.
Up to you to complete it. From CTAN, download the type one package and
put the afm and pfb files under (e.g.) texmf-fonts/fonts/data/wasy (no
need for subdirs) and run "mtxrun --generate" to update the file database.
You can look in the afm files to see what names are provided.
It looks like the files were updated in 2020 (taco is mentiones). Rhaban
made the mkii file so you can consult him. I advice to stick to the
regular symbols not the weirdly composed ones.
You can patch the file and send me the result. You can 'run the file' in
order to get the overview. You should see at least most symbols.
So ... work to do ...

[NTG-context] [OT] TeXShop v4.66 adds support for new ConTeXt's syncing method
For those who are interested, the latest TeXShop release provides support for ConTeXt's own syncing method (by invoking mtxrun --script synctex). This supersedes the old syncing method based on Laurens' SyncTeX, which should not be used any more. I have brought TeXShop's page in the wiki up to date (I haven't touched what are currently §1.4 and §1.5), with instructions to get synchronisation to work: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/TeXShop Make sure to read it carefully! I have tested the feature for some time now, and I'd say that it works pretty well (with some caveats, which I have annotated in the wiki). I take the opportunity to thank Hans for being so responsive with the changes in mtxrun necessary to provide this feature, and for patiently bear with my sometimes unclear requests or feedback. Kudos also to Richard Koch (TeXShop's author) for his relentless support of the macOS TeX community and, in this case, of the ConTeXt community! Happy ConTeXt'ing!

[NTG-context] Math cases and text in math mode
Hi,
I have two separate issues here. First, I'm struggling to get math cases
to work. The wiki suggests that the following code
\starttext
\startformula
f(x) = \startmathcases
\NC x, \NC if $0 \le x \le \frac12$ \NR
\NC 1-x ,\NC if $\frac12 \le x \le 1$ \NR
\stopmathcases
\stopformula
\stoptext
should typeset everything after the \NC in text mode, but when I compile
it's still in math mode. Is this a bug or is the wiki out of date?
Secondly, how can I enter text mode whilst in a formula, whilst also
only using the roman font? For example, I would like it so that even if
the whole text is wrapped in {\em ...}, the text in the formulae are in
roman font. I've tried the following:
\starttext
{\em
\startformula \startalign[align=left]
\NC {\rm multiple words of text} \NR % Does not provide spacing
\NC \mathrm{multiple words of text} \NR % Does not provide spacing
\NC \text{multiple words of text} \NR % Still italicised
% \NC \text{\rm multiple words of text} \NR % Error
% \NC {\rm \text{multiple words of text}} \NR % Error
\stopalign \stopformula
}

Re: [NTG-context] Incorrect sorting in \completelistofabbreviations for numbers
yes, seems like they are sorted by tag. But that’s not useful, since you cannot
use numbers in a tag. This tag is just the workaround for abbreviations that
include numbers.

Hi everyone,
I think I've found a sorting bug in \completelistofabbreviations in the

\abbreviation[OTT]{123}{One, Two, and Three}
\abbreviation{ABC}{A, B, and C}
\abbreviation{ZYX}{Z, Y, and X}
\starttext
\completelistofabbreviations[criterium=all]
\stoptext
I get
ABCA, B, and C
123One, Two, and Three
ZYXZ, Y, and X
Numbers should go before letters. Do you know any workaround/fix for
that?
aren't they sorted by the tag ?
By default the synonim is the tag; only the first one has an explicit tag (OTT)
so the order is ABC, OTT, ZXY, which looks ok.

Re: [NTG-context] BibTeX inproceedings entries not rendered correctly in APA style
APA guide does not require a publisher if a URL is provided, and ConTeXt handles this properly. As with the use of DOIs for journal articles, this is consistent with the concept of a reference list, in which entries give only the information necessary to locate the document cited by the writer (with the usual caveats about the volatility and durability of electronic media and URLs). With either reference lists or bibliographies I can imagine circumstances where it might be desirable to suppress one or more of the publisher, the date, the author, and the title. Consider a reference list of works by one author -- there is no need to state the author name in each entry. Similarly a list of works published in a given year, or by a specific publisher, or editions of one title. I do not mean to suggest that ConTeXt should support these, but simply suggest that even so-called 'required' fields may not always be required if they are implicit. -- Rik ___ 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 ___

Which brings me to the next paragraph. Indeed, the vim manpage says: --clean Do not use any personal configuration (vimrc, plugins, etc.). Useful to see if a problem reproduces with a clean Vim setup. while nvim manpage says: --clean Skip loading plugins and shada (viminfo) file. So, in vim, the --clean option also skips vimrc while in nvim it does not. Looking at my git log, I see that I added --clean option for nvim: commit b907543d9f6b2185185f3674035987f47bf91381 Author: Aditya Mahajan Date: Wed Apr 29 17:48:24 2020 -0400 Add --clean option to not load viminfo files in `nvim`. Somehow `nvim` does not honor ``` -i NONE ``` option. Looking at the man page of nvim I see -i shadaUse shada instead of the default ~/.local/share/nvim/shada/main.shada. If shada is NONE, do not read or write a ShaDa file. :help shada So, -i NONE should have worked.

That's a good suggestion. For now, I'll play around with the order of options to seei if that fixes the problem. I agree that at some stage it might be better to simply split off the module into a `t-nvim.tex` which configures the settings for nvim separately. I actually want t-vim (or rather t-filter) to support more editors/syntax highlighters.

Here is a different effect ... more of a trembling hand drawing than a sketch.
You can play around with sketch_amount to see some variation.
In this, rather than using the default randomized path (which randomizes the
points of a path), I split the path into 20 segments, and randomize each
segment.

A slightly different approach is needed. See attached. I also added a bit a
error protection in case someone sets sketch_passes to be negative by mistake.
It may be interesting to rewrite these macros using the new key-value interface
for metapost, so that something like this works:
\sketchdraw[amount=3bp, passes=5, transparency=yes] fullsquare scaled 1cm

Re: [NTG-context] simpleslides gives 'input stack overflow'
Hi,
Looks like it is a problem with "StartPage" and "StopPage" in metapost.
I get the same error with any MP graphic using those commands.
More minimal example (without simpleslides) as per the wiki:

Sorry, my explanation of what I am trying to achieve was a bit too terse. There is a little wonderful app on the App Store, called iSH (https://github.com/ish-app/ish), which essentially allows you to run a 32-bit x86 Alpine Linux distribution on the iPad. One feature of the app is that it can import and mount several "file systems". One way to create such a file system is to export a Docker container. So, what one can do is create a Docker container in some other device (I use my laptop), configure it as desired, then export it into a .tar archive, copy it into the iPad, and import it into iSH. This is better than installing/building packages directly inside the app, because (a) compiling on the iPad is extremely slow, and (b) some packages may raise errors if one tries to install them inside the app (TeX Live being one of them: this link explains the issue and the Docker workaround: https://github.com/ish-app/ish/issues/1123). iSH emulates x86_32 and uses Musl. AFAICS, ConTeXt LMTX currently only provides a 64-bit download for Linux Musl. So, the next best alternative is to use ConTeXt from TeX Live. So, this is where I am at: I am trying to make ConTeXt work inside an x86 Alpine Linux Musl container, using the official Alpine package.

Sorry for the late reply - I missed this in the thread. You're not going to be able to get the Docker container to run on the iPad if that's what you were ultimately hoping. This is because of the different processor types used by most PCs versus the iPad. As far as I know there is no way to get Docker installed on a PC to cross-compile for the ARM architecture of an iPad; and even if you could, the resulting image would have to be cryptographically signed by a registered Apple developer and then signed by Apple or it won't run. The iSH documentation that I briefly looked at used a 'side-load' technique i.e. relied on what's called a 'jailbroken' iPad. This invalidates your warranty yadda yadda and you don't really want to go there except perhaps for the intellectual exercise. The next best alternative would be to run TeX Live plus LMTX on a PC and connect to it remotely using the iPad. This could be via a text-only terminal app or a remote desktop app. The remote PC that you connect to could be yours at home (cheap but carries a security risk unless you know what you're doing) or in the cloud (requires a subscription but the security is less of an issue since you build the machine to be disposable on the assumption that hackers will get to it). Either way, I don't think Docker is the first choice solution (unless, perhaps, you have a home NAS that supports Docker - yet another option). If you still want to build a Docker container then please say so - as I'm sure it could be done. — Bruce Horrocks Hampshire, UK ___ 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] No space between \cite and next word.
Hi,
thanks! That seems like a fair list of commands.
To the mailing list: The commands listed in the previous mail all have
more than one argument (in square brackets [ ]). We had a discussion
off list, and commands such as \in will as I understood it also keep
spaces, but it has only one argument (in square brackets [ ], there
are two optional arguments in addition, but they come in braces { }).
I assume that I should wikify this, but I do not currently see where
it would be good to put it.

Re: [NTG-context] Ligature suppression word list
Hi, a small update on this one : I’ve built a small python script that uses the patterns from the selnolig package to extract words with suspicious ligatures from the word list provided by the Uni Leipzig corpus project. Running the script over a corpus of over 1 million words produces the attached word list. The resulting list of words is not huge. That corpus gives us a list of about 790 words.

This is why I always am explicit, as in \date[d=3]\ bla because no matter what happens bvehind the screens, the \ terminates the argument check so it will stay.

We can of course in lmtx bring back the 'push back a space' behaviour but we then also introduce some fuzzyness. Now we have "we scan upto n arguments and gobble spaces when doing so". Btw, there is also another aspect: when looking for optional arguments the next token gets looked at and that one can be in an upcoming macro or content. \startfoo[a][b] content \stopfoo \startfoo[a] [ that starts content \stopfoo so sometimes one needs \startfoo[a] \relax [ that starts content \stopfoo to abort the scanning.

[NTG-context] Fwd: Re: LMTX 2021.03.02 | cross reference to an external file | \pagereference
Wolfgang [and Hans ],
I'm attaching a minimal(ish) example of a project structure with
a call to \pagereference. One can see from the output of master000.tex
that the cross references to an external file all work, *apart* from
the call to \pagereference. (This is the same issue that I am having
with
my two volume proceedings.)
I'd be grateful for suggestions.

Thanks Wolfgang,
Hans kindly sent me a simple minimal. I've adjusted it to include a
call
to \pagereference and it works. I'm currently trying to test my
project
to see why my own calls to \pagereference do not result in any output,
despite the fact that all the calls to the reference ids in chapters
work
as expected. I'm imagining at this point that it has something to do
with
using two master files --one for each volume-- with multiple includes
(\components) for each chapter -- the \pagereference code appears
in a number of the components.
I'll try to set up a simple example replicating the file structure I'm
using
and then send it through.
Best, Richard

Hi Richard,
I just tested \pagereference in a simple example and had no problem
to
get
the page numbers from the other document. Without a minimal example
there is no way to tell what's missing in your document.

Re: [NTG-context] Genealogy and context

Hello,
My son is very much interested in genealogy. He already has collected
information on thousands of people. Now it would be nice to be able to
present this information in the form of a book. There is a possibility
to have this done by a commercial service, however then it's not
possible to adapt the format or to insert custom text. Media can be
added but not in the way we like it.
Genealogical information is stored as structured data. I have added a
fragment of an Gramps XML file below. In such a file there are events,
people, families and other groupings of data and these are linked by
handles.
What we would like to produce is a book with a number of blocks on
every page describing a family: Father, mother, dates of birth and
death, date of marriage, occupations and children. It would also be
good it there are references to the grandparents.
My question is: Where should I get started with a project in which a
document is generated automatically from data? As far as I know context
should be very suitable for this but I don't have any experience with
this. Until now I've used context to make documents without any data
being added automatically, except for the bibliography.
Thank you in advance,
David van Diepen

Hi David, I’m also using Gramps (for my personal family tree and for research for a historical novel), and I always wondered if it wouldn’t be possible to create nicer family trees and other charts using ConTeXt/MetaPost. But I still can’t handle XML in ConTeXt nor MetaPost myself. I’d suggest to first create a sample layout to have a clear target – how would you like to present your data? Since Gramps XML is not very straightforward (many crossreferences) it _might_ make sense to use a preprocessor (XSLT) and convert it to XML or Lua tables that you can use with the bibliography module. I’m quite sure it’s possible to do it completely in ConTeXt/Lua, but if you’d like to have configurable output, you’d probably create something similar to the bib module. I’m looking forward to what you will create! (And I think it would be an excellent topic for a talk at the ConTeXt meeting and/or an article in the ConTeXt journal!)

Re: [NTG-context] Hyphenation pattern for Esperanto
I forgot to write that I am ready to
answer your questions.
(En Esperanto one avoids to write the
dates as numbers, because the users do not all understand the
same way: 3/9/2021 is it third of September or ninth of March?)

[NTG-context] Genealogy and context
Hello, My son is very much interested in genealogy. He already has collected information on thousands of people. Now it would be nice to be able to present this information in the form of a book. There is a possibility to have this done by a commercial service, however then it's not possible to adapt the format or to insert custom text. Media can be added but not in the way we like it. Genealogical information is stored as structured data. I have added a fragment of an Gramps XML file below. In such a file there are events, people, families and other groupings of data and these are linked by handles. What we would like to produce is a book with a number of blocks on every page describing a family: Father, mother, dates of birth and death, date of marriage, occupations and children. It would also be good it there are references to the grandparents. My question is: Where should I get started with a project in which a document is generated automatically from data? As far as I know context should be very suitable for this but I don't have any experience with this. Until now I've used context to make documents without any data being added automatically, except for the bibliography. Thank you in advance, David van Diepen Example Gramps XML file is below: http://gramps-project.org/xml/1.7.1/grampsxml.dtd;> http://gramps-project.org/xml/1.7.1/;> Birth Death Marriage F Catharina Geldof M Cornelis Geldof F Maatje de Voogd ___ 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] composing commands
Hi Hans,
Thanks for the new composing commands. I made several tests and everything
works great.
I guess when you say something like
> \withgrave {a} == \\`{a}
you mean
\withgrave {a} == \`{a}
(this is what I tested…).
Regarding the characters æ and œ, the command \chr produces them correctly,
that is
\chr{ae} \chr{AE}
\chr{oe} \chr{OE}
produce
æ Æ
œ Œ
as expected.
If you think these commands are to stay, please tell me if they have to be on
the wiki.
Best regards: Otared

I anyway uprgade this mechanism. First of all, the short commands will
be equivalents to more verbose ones.
\withgrave {a} == \\`{a}\withacute {a} ==
\\'{a}\withcircumflex {a} == \\^{a}\withtilde {a} ==
\\~{a}\withmacron {a} == \\={a}\withbreve {e} ==
\\u{e}\withdot {c} == \\.{c}\withdieresis{e} ==
\\"{e}\withring{u} == \\r{u}\withhungarumlaut{u} ==
\\H{u}\withcaron {e} == \\v{e}\withcedilla {e} ==
\\c{e}\withogonek {e} == \\k{e}
Did I miss one?
Then we can deprecate the short ones (keep them a low profile, with
permission to overload). After all, I don't expect someone who needs
lots of them to use these commands, so more verbose is better then.
Aas I already mentioned, in bib files they are treated differently
already.
The low level helper is \chr, that can be used as
\chr {à} \chr {á} \chr {ä}\chr {`a} \chr {'a} \chr {"a}\chr {a
acute} \chr {a grave} \chr {a umlaut}\chr {aacute} \chr
{agrave} \chr {aumlaut}
(I can add more of the verbose, like {cyrillic a} if really needed. It
means that we can declare \eacute etc also depricated (these verbose
names date from \MKII, encoding neutral labels, utf handling,
remapping to backend encodings etc but we don't need that and I'm not
sure if anyone ever used those long names. Again, depricated, not
removed (yet).)
Then there is the question what to do with \AE and \ij and such ...
these were used to enforce specific ligatures into a file assuming
that f ont has them but nowadays that's the job of a font handler
(script language control). We can keep them but assume them legacy.
They normally don't belong in input. (Being Dutch I actually never
used \IJ or \ij).
Now, we can assume that when your languages needs characters with
accents that you use a font that has them. In MKIV and LMTX one
canenable a checker
\enabletrackers[fonts.missing]\enabletrackers[fonts.missing=replace]\e
nabletrackers[fonts.missing=remove]
but in LMTX it's upgraded with more clever replacements (Jano will
document that + more about checking missing stuff in the wiki).
So, in LMTX we have more options (maybe I'll backport that to MKIV)
\checkmissingcharacters \enabletrackers[fonts.missing]\removemissing
characters \enabletrackers[fonts.missing=remove]\replacemissingcharac
ters
\enabletrackers[fonts.missing=replace]\handlemissingcharacters \enabl
etrackers[fonts.missing={decompose,replace}]
the last one will inject decomposed characters into the list when font
lacks the real thing. The replacements visualize similar to MKIV but
adapt to the style.

\enabletrackers[fonts.missing=remove]
but in LMTX it's upgraded with more clever replacements (Jano will
document that + more about checking missing stuff in the wiki).
So, in LMTX we have more options (maybe I'll backport that to MKIV)
\checkmissingcharacters \enabletrackers[fonts.missing]
\removemissingcharacters \enabletrackers[fonts.missing=remove]
\replacemissingcharacters \enabletrackers[fonts.missing=replace]
\handlemissingcharacters \enabletrackers[fonts.missing={decompose,replace}]
the last one will inject decomposed characters into the list when font
lacks the real thing. The replacements visualize similar to MKIV but
adapt to the style.

[NTG-context] [Solved] Fwd: lmtx-20210118 | Corruption with rotated floats
I've just updated the system to LMTX-20210201 and have found that this has been resolved -- \placetable[here,90] is back again! Thank you very much for this. Best, Richard Forwarded Message From: Richard Mahoney Reply-To: Richard Mahoney , mailing list for ConTeXt users To: mailing list for ConTeXt users Subject: [NTG-context] lmtx-20210118 | Corruption with rotated floats Date: Sat, 23 Jan 2021 20:59:19 +1300 Mailer: Evolution 3.36.5 Organization: Indica et Buddhica X-Spam-Score: 0.0 List members, I've found that recent versions of LMTX seem to have broken table and figure floats using rotation. Lmtx-20210118 with for example: \placetable[here,90] results in the trashing of all subsequent body text in the PDF. This can be corrected with something such as: \placetable[here] ... \framed[orientation=90] (although one looses the ability to rotate the title of the table). The last really stable version of LMTX, which I'm finding that I'm constantly returning to as my default, is lmtx-20200920. This error has been occurring for some time now, and unfortunately, while I would like to keep up the recent releases of LMTX, it is essential that I should be able to rotate tables and images.

Re: [NTG-context] Hyphenation on digits
Hans,
Thanks for this.
In addition to:
({\it Ṛgveda}~\hyphenateddigits{1.114.10}) -- break after either "."
Here are some other typical cases reflecting material I've been
working with of late:
{\it cf}.~(ARE 1949--50)\KSP, -- break after "--"
Tamil (lns 1---517, plates 11a---31b) -- break after either "---"
{\it Ekottarāgama}, T125, 2: 549a10-15. -- break anywhere
Best, Richard

Depending on usage it might need to b eimproved (like: does one wants
to break before a period or comma but let's first collect use cases

[NTG-context] Fwd: Re: Hyphenation on digits
Just to clarify. The new \hyphenateddigits means that witha couple of
tightly packed columns of footnotes it is nowpossible to break a
textual reference such as this acrosstwo lines.
({\it Ṛgveda}~\hyphenateddigits{1.114.10})
This is just great, and I can see it being used reasonablyoften.

1. Wrong date
The \date command has wrong/weird grouping which makes global changes

2. Missing space
When not all optional arguments are used the space after the last given
argument is gobbled. This was normal behavior for a long time until you
changed the code in MkIV to keep them.

[NTG-context] tikz-module not up to date (synchronisation problem with contextgarden?)
Hi It's been a long time, since a solution for the 'module wrapping error' in tikz has been proposed here in the list: https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2017/090404.html Since July a fix has been published: https://github.com/pgf-tikz/pgf/commit/9b24e5cdb8246b1075d02c02c75ff8bcac642c16 A few days ago the release containing the fix was released. On contextgarden the manual under modules/t-tikz/doc/generic/pgf shows the current version 3.1.8b, but the source doesn't include the fix. I compared the source on context-garden (rsync:// contextgarden.net/minimals/current/modules/) with the zip ( https://github.com/pgf-tikz/pgf/archive/3.1.8b.zip). In the zip file the fix is included, so I'm puzzled... Is there a synchronisation-problem? Just wanted to mention it. It's not crucial.

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.

Ideally take the latest version of lang-txt.lua, add a line for esperanto for each translation and send it to Hans. We ideally need them in a similar for as for other languages. Feel free to provide additions for French as well. (I guess in that case Hans will send the changes for proofreading to at least another member.)

Re: [NTG-context] Hyphenation pattern for Esperanto
Hi Hans and Mojca,
I join a file containing the list of
patterns for Esperanto and the definition/translation of the
general words for titles, glossaries,...
In fact there is a file for Esperanto
in:
C:\Users\Alain\context-lmlx\tex\texmf-context\tex\context\patterns\mkiv\lang-eo.lua
So it has been in mkiv.
Now regarding the labels, how could I
provide the translations? Should I add a line with translation
for each term (or the most important, I have seen that the
French labels are not all translated)?
Thanks, regards,

Yes, I'm aware of the differences, but ConTeXt is not ready to

(If the two sets of patterns are not equivalent, there's
something

Please be proactive on the list (chatting offline with me

that much) and just try to convince Hans to add those
patterns, or ask
him what you need to do in order to end up with patterns

The pattern in TeXlive as I described (from hyph-eo.tex)

1a2do, 1a2doj, 1a2dojn, 1a2don one write \nom{1a2d},
otherwise it looks the same (I didn't check the details).

The plain text version is already in the correct form:
https://github.com/hyphenation/tex-hyphen/blob/master/hyph-utf8/tex/generic/hyph-utf8/patterns/txt/hyph-eo.pat.txt
so it should be just a matter of Hans including the patterns

Usually he asks for translations of basic strings (like
"Chapter"

However, way back when you started ConTeXt, very few people would have said it was possible/worth embedding Lua in TeX Given that Lua *is* now embedded inside ConTeXt, I am simply making a *crude* attempt to see if I can parallelize the overall ConTeXt production cycle (with out changing ConTeXt-LMTX itself).

Hans, As I said my desktop is elderly... it has a 2.8GHz processor, 16Gb of DDR3 memory, and a couple of old SATA1 hard disks, and only 3Mb of CPU cache... ... all well past its use by date for single threaded ConTeXt. ;-( So one way to get better performance for ConTeXt is to invest in a new ultra fast processor. Which will cost a lot, and use a lot of power which has to be cooled, which uses even more power Alternatively, for the same costs (or less), I can buy cheaper slower processors but have lots of threads (a cluster of Raspberry Pi 4 8Gb cards)...

Re: [NTG-context] mathmatrix and internal lines
Hi Jean-Philippe,
A few weeks ago I saw briefly the discussion about Hans' message regarding
\noalign and the the new definitions of \HR and \VR that you are sending.
Indeed your solution works great !
Just for the case other people may have the same question about writing block
matrix, I copy below the whole example which can be found later in the mail
archive.
(For mkiv, I don't know how to do the same thing…).
%%% begin block-matrix.tex
% in LMTX defining \HR and \VR to create block matrices:
\pushoverloadmode
\noaligned\tolerant\protected\def\HR[#1]{\noalign{\hrule #1}}
\popoverloadmode
\def\VR{\dosingleempty\doVR}
\def\doVR[#1]{\NC \hskip-0.5em \vrule #1 \hskip-0.5em \NC}
\definemathmatrix[mymatrix]
[left={\left(\,},
right={\, \right)}]
\starttext
\startformula
\startmymatrix
\NC A \VR B \NR
\HR
\NC C \VR D \NR
\stopmymatrix
\stopformula
\stoptext
%%% end block-matrix.tex

Re: [NTG-context] mathmatrix and internal lines
Hi Otared,
Thank you very much.
I used your example to write the following macros. They are far from perfect
but suit my needs. A few days ago, Hans warned not to use \noalign in LMTX, so
I used the trick he gave to the list even if I don't really understand it.
=== LMTX version
%D \macros{HR, VR}
%D \type{\HR} draws a horizontal rule between two rows of a matrix
%D \type{\VR} is used in place of \type{\NC} to draw a vertical rule between
two columns of a matrix
%D each macro takes an optional parameter giving the rule dimensions
%D Example
%D \type{\startmatrix \NC A \VR[depth 2mm] B \NR \HR[height 0.6pt] \NC C \VR D
\NR \stopmatrix}
\pushoverloadmode
\noaligned\tolerant\protected\def\HR[#1]{\noalign{\hrule #1}}
\popoverloadmode
\def\VR{\dosingleempty\doVR}
\def\doVR[#1]{\NC \hskip-0.5em \vrule #1 \hskip-0.5em \NC}
===
=== MkIV version
%D \macros{HR, VR}
%D \type{\HR} draws a horizontal rule between two rows of a matrix
%D \type{\VR} is used in place of \type{\NC} to draw a vertical rule between
two columns of a matrix
%D it takes an optional parameter giving the rule dimensions
%D Example
%D \type{\startmatrix \NC A \VR[depth 2mm] B \NR \HR \NC C \VR D \NR
\stopmatrix}
\def\HR{\noalign{\hrule}}
\def\VR{\dosingleempty\doVR}
\def\doVR[#1]{\NC \hskip-0.5em \vrule #1 \hskip-0.5em \NC}
===
For the MkIV version I haven't been able to add an optional parameter to \HR
the code
\def\HR{\dosingleempty\doHR}
\def\doHR[#1]{\noalign{\hrule #1}}
complains about "Misplaced \noalign"

Re: [NTG-context] mathmatrix and internal lines
Hi Jean-Philippe,
For a simple case like the one you sent, a rather not optimal solution can be
this:
\definemathmatrix[mymatrix]
[left={\left(\,},
right={\ \right)}]
\starttext
\startformula
\startmymatrix
\NC A \hskip .5em |\hskip-.5em \NC B \NR
\noalign{\hrule}
\NC C \hskip .5em |\hskip-.5em \NC D \NR
\stopmymatrix
\stopformula
\stoptext
However I think I have seen sometime ago a more elegant solution, but I could
not find it right now…
Best regards: Otared K.

[NTG-context] mathmatrix and internal lines
Dear list,
I would like to draw matrices with internal lines as can be done with LaTeX (cf
pdf output) :
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
$M =\left( \begin{array}{c|c}
A & B \\
\hline
C & D \\
\end{array} \right)$
\end{document}
I didn't find out how to use mathmatrix to achieve this. My best result to date
is
\starttext
$M = \left( \bTABLE[frame=off]
\bTR
\bTD[rightframe=on, bottomframe=on] $A$ \eTD
\bTD[bottomframe=on] $B$ \eTD
\eTR\bTR
\bTD[rightframe=on] $C$ \eTD
\bTD $D$ \eTD
\eTR
\eTABLE \right)$
\stoptext
The code is rather ugly, and I get a spurious space at the bottom of the table.
Any hints?
Thank you,

Re: [NTG-context] troubles when installing OpenBSD 64 binaries (install.sh?)
Hi, I apologize for sending more or less the same message as last week, but it went unnoticed on the mailing list. To sum up, looks like that install.sh cannot fetch the openbsd 6.8 amd64 binaries. I am aware of the *tma issue noticed by some list users, but since I am ripping of anything in my /usr/local/context/ tree before upgrading, shouldn't be an issue. Any help really welcomed, since texlive context package doesn't compile either on my computer, an issue the packager spend time on it and couldn't recreate/resolve. This means I am stick with compiling via ssh on a debian box.

Dear Floris, I have a simpler approach that might help you: curl -I http://pragma-ade.com/context/latest/cont-tmf.zip I added a file with that to $HOME/bin/ and it works fine when invoking it. To check which version you have installed on your computer: export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/ && context --version && luametatex --version Of course, you might need no export or adapt $PATH accordingly to your ConTeXt directory.

[NTG-context] caching remote images
Hello! I'd like to cache images (order of hundreds) from a remote location (not all the time mapped as drive, download speed and amount of data are also the factors). \usepath[dirfile://./resources/**] is likely for speeding up searching not downloading and I don't know when new images are available (when to delete dirlist.* files), as described in workflows-mkiv.pdf. Looks like the cache parameter in \externalfigure is used only if some conversion is going on. I could create a conversion which does nothing or only envelopes JPG in PDF as .jpg.pdf (loading could be faster) and then: if cached file exists use cached .jpg.pdf else if drive is mapped download, convert and cache .jpg else skip file end end The source file with one will never change or I could re-cache from time to time to have up-to-date images cached. Before reinventing the wheel: isn't such functionality or part of it already available?

[NTG-context] lmts status
Hi, There haven't been lmtx updates for while now but there is a reason for it. On my machine I have luametatex 2.08 (so we jump number) which is in terms of typesetting the 20201010 version. That version has some reorganized internals, most have to do with consistency in the token interface at the Lua end. Of course there are some new and improved things too but those will be revealed in articles or manuals or the development status documents (already on my machine but they need checking). However, around that date I also decided to play a bit with some pending features: extended macro definitions and frozen macros. The first has to do with extensions to the macro definition code. Some are already present for a while, others have been added. The challenge there is to make defining macros somewhat more convenient and at the same time get rid of often too confusing error messages when a user does something bad with arguments (those foo_bar_whatever kind of things which might look impressive but often is pretty ugly). Of course that only makes sense when we keep the current performance: only gain, no pain. But, it also means that we need to adapt quite some code in order to benefit from it and when I started doing that one quickly ends up in a chain reaction: from a dozen files to over 100 and fives times that amount pending. But it's actually kind of fun (also for users I think). And hopefully Wolfgang will find my many errors. In parallel I played with the other feature: some kind of protection against macro abuse. This is actually related to the above because when you want to see macros with readable names in error messages, you cannot protect them with underscores and other ugly tricks that at the same time make stuff unreadable and ugly. We have a chicken and egg issue there. Anyway, the reason for this mail is that I want to warn users that the next lmtx release will use several protection mechanisms. Checking will for now be off by default but one can bump the level of protection at runtime. Just to give you an idea: we have primitives that can get a heavy protection against overload. We also have macro package system commands and these can get a pretty hard protection too. Commands defined by users (using \define...) can be treated less strict. Of course we also have all kind of runtime (temporary) macros that we have to protect (freeze) but also be able to redefine when we want to (think of variables). Then we have properties that are not primitives but nevertheless need the same strong protection, think of predefined counters, dimensions etc. So, you can imagine that there is some work involved in getting all that up and running. A side effect of that is that occasionally I notice some undesired hack or something that needs attention. The good news is that this probably can be pulled off without a real hit on performance. However, one side effect is that when users enable this (off by default) mechanism the might run into messages (when only warnings are enables) or errors (when they go for the full package). Now, in order to get this working well (as intended) I'd like users who then run into issues to make small examples that we we add to the test suite (unless of course they decide to fix the style, simply because they figure that they did something wrong). You're warned. So, when the next lmtx hits the web, make sure that you keep the old tree because one never knows where I mess up. I don't know when I'll upload. After all Wolfgang and I need to come to the conclusion that it's the way to go. More later, Hans PS. When doing this one runs into quite interesting conceptual issues, even in a system like context that is rather structured. But this is also why the final solution needs somewhat more work that one thinks when one starts with it. A macro language like tex is quite different from some regular programming language (and making it look like one doesn't help). - Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl - ___ 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 ___

Dear Alain,
Yes, I'm aware of the differences, but ConTeXt is not ready to read
patterns in the cryptic format.
(If the two sets of patterns are not equivalent, there's something
that needs fixing.)
Please be proactive on the list (chatting offline with me won't help
that much) and just try to convince Hans to add those patterns, or ask
him what you need to do in order to end up with patterns supported in
ConTeXt out of the box.

Hi Mojca,
The pattern in TeXlive as I described (from hyph-eo.tex) makes the list a
littlebit more compact: instead of
1a2do, 1a2doj, 1a2dojn, 1a2don one write \nom{1a2d}, otherwise it looks the
same (I didn't check the details).
So I'll wait for the demand of Hans!!

The plain text version is already in the correct form:
https://github.com/hyphenation/tex-hyphen/blob/master/hyph-utf8/tex/generic/hyph-utf8/patterns/txt/hyph-eo.pat.txt
so it should be just a matter of Hans including the patterns in the

Usually he asks for translations of basic strings (like "Chapter"

Re: [NTG-context] A Spanish introduction to ConTeXt Mark IV
Hello Joaquín, I have been looking to get into ConTeXt for a few months now, LaTeX drove me completely insane when writing my Master’s thesis. I have been looking for an up-to-date introduction to ConTeXt as a whole, as I am still unable to get basic things working in ConTeXt after reading the ‘Excursion’. (I really tried to the best of my ability!) I just wanted to voice my support this book, as I feel that such a newbie-friendly resource would fill a gaping hole in the current ConTeXt ecosystem. I am considering having a stab at learning Spanish in order to (attempt to) read your book. Thanks for sharing, Niels E. J.

[NTG-context] correct vertical alignment in ToC
A quick look at the attached pdf extract from my current Table of
Contents will demonstrate the problem. I need authors names, chapter
titles and/or date range to line up correctly underneath each other, but
because of the definitions I am working with (see below how the current
result has been acheived) I do not know how to get these precise margin
(I presume?) distances.
So, for example, the author for the Preface needs to line up directly
under the author for the Foreword. And the title for Chapters One/Two
and the date range for Chapter Three likewise. The 'Context' item is a
\section and I have got that more or less to line up by using an \hspace
definition, but I know that using two very different definitions is
likely to cause problems. (Alternatively, they could all line up under
the title for Chapter One, so a bit further in. What *has to happen* is
that they all line up accurately under each other, whichever solution I
use).
My real problem is that I do not know how get these specific distances
from the left-hand side using the definitions I have. If I knew how to
get, say, 3cm in from the margin for Chapter authors/titles/date ranges
(given the definition below) and section authors (given its definition
below), I could solve this problem, but everything I have tried does not
seem to work. Wolfgang had given me the ChapterListCommand definition,
and I think Hraban the SectionTocentry:
(1) CHAPTERLISTCOMMAND
\define[3]\ChapterListCommand
{\hbox\bgroup
\hbox to 2.5cm{\currentlistsymbol\hss}% number + labeltext
\vtop\bgroup
\hsize\dimexpr\makeupwidth-2.5cm\relax
\doifsomething{\rawstructurelistuservariable{year}}
{{\structurelistuservariable{year}}\crlf}%
\currentlistentrytitle % title
\doifsomething{\rawstructurelistuservariable{author}}
{\crlf{\structurelistuservariable{author}}}%
\hfill\currentlistentrypagenumber % pagenumber
\egroup
\egroup}
Is there somewhere in here that I can specify my distances other than
the \hbox 2.5cm? Note that I obviously also have (e.g. for the Preface,
but I have others for Foreword, etc.):
\setuplist
[preface]
[label=preface,
alternative=command,
command=\ChapterListCommand]
(2) SECTIONTOCENTRY
\definehspace[twoem][2.5 em]
\define[1]\SectionTocEntry{%
#1\hspace[twoem]% title
\structurelistuservariable{author}%
}
\setuplist[section][
textcommand=\SectionTocEntry,
margin=.5cm]
The [twoem] definition (in fact it is 2.5 em) was how I got the
'Context' author to roughly line up under the other items, but I have
noticed that in some repetitions of this section, they do not line up
exactly even so.
Hope somebody can help - in the end I suppose I can open it in a PDF
editing program and shift items under each other, but I want to achieve
the correct result using ConTeXt, understandably.

[NTG-context] \dorecurse{}{} problem
Hi,
I tried to make a table using \dorecurse or \doloop as in the example.
There is no error but \recurselevel is not increased, all are 0 in the first
example and only two rows are created with the \recurselevel 0 and 2 only in
the second example.
Does the tabulate cause the error?
What is wrong in this MWE?
Thank you for reading.
Best regards,
Dalyoung

Re: [NTG-context] \dorecurse{}{} problem
Hi Dalyoung,
I don't know why \recurselevel returns 0 inside a tabulate environment, but the
following works fine:
\starttext
\startxtable[frame=off,bottomframe=on,width=1cm,align={middle,lohi}]
\startxrow\startxcell \stopxcell\stopxrow % just to have a line on the top of
the first row
\dorecurse{8}
{\startxrow\startxcell \recurselevel \stopxcell\stopxrow}
\stopxtable
\stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] \dorecurse{}{} problem
Hi,
Using ##1 instead of \recurselevel makes it work in this specific case if
you want a quick and dirty solution. It seems to be a thing with nesting,
as using #1 complains. I'd prefer the solutions as shown by Aditya:
constructing tables via Lua, etc.

Jairo

Re: [NTG-context] Best way to store text for later use
A possibility is saving the data as text in a Lua-table. If you are not afraid
to use some Lua, I can send my code for saving files and data for repeated use.

[NTG-context] Best way to store text for later use
Hi,
For typesetting XML I'm wondering how to best store text for later use:
I've tried using buffers, but this here doesn't work:
==
\startxmlsetups xml:article-meta
\setupdocument [
pub-year=\xmlfilter{#1}{/pub-date/year/command(xml:article-meta:pubdate:year)},
volume=\xmlfilter{#1}{/volume/command(xml:article-meta:volume)},
doi=\xmlfilter{#1}{/article-id[@pub-id-type='doi']/command(xml:article-meta:doi)},
elocation-id=\xmlfilter{#1}{/elocation-id/command(xml:article-meta:elocation-id)},
title=\xmlfilter{#1}{/title-group/article-title/command(xml:article-meta:title-group:article-title)},
author={\AuthorList},
]
\startbuffer[abstract]
\xmlfilter{#1}{/abstract/command(xml:article-meta:abstract)}
\stopbuffer
\xmlflush{#1}
\stopxmlsetups
\startxmlsetups xml:article-meta:abstract
\xmlflush{#1}
\stopxmlsetups
===
This here works:
==
\startxmlsetups xml:article-meta
\setupdocument [
pub-year=\xmlfilter{#1}{/pub-date/year/command(xml:article-meta:pubdate:year)},
volume=\xmlfilter{#1}{/volume/command(xml:article-meta:volume)},
doi=\xmlfilter{#1}{/article-id[@pub-id-type='doi']/command(xml:article-meta:doi)},
elocation-id=\xmlfilter{#1}{/elocation-id/command(xml:article-meta:elocation-id)},
title=\xmlfilter{#1}{/title-group/article-title/command(xml:article-meta:title-group:article-title)},
author={\AuthorList},
abstract=\xmlfilter{#1}{/abstract/command(xml:article-meta:abstract)},
]
\xmlflush{#1}
\stopxmlsetups
\startxmlsetups xml:article-meta:abstract
\xmlflush{#1}
\stopxmlsetups
===
But has using a variable for the abstract any drawbacks? (The abstract
might contain multiple paragraphs.)
Best,
Denis

Re: [NTG-context] Error setting up ConTeXt in MacTeX 2020
Hi Felix, Some time ago I encountered the same problem and we had a thread on this list about this: https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg95355.html The problem on my Mac came from the fact that a directory /opt/local/etc/texmf/ existed (installed by MacPorts, without me knowing it…) where ConTeXt tries to find a format, while there is none. I removed that directory and then I could use ConTeXt from MacTex 2020.

[NTG-context] Error setting up ConTeXt in MacTeX 2020
Hi all, with MacTeX 2020 on a newly installed Mac, I have the problem that ConTeXt doesn't work anymore: $ context file.tex mtx-context | warning: no format found, forcing remake (commandline driven) […] snip lots of lines resolvers | formats | changing to format path '/var/folders/rj/hfjmjx796q102y4v23vh038cgp/T/luatex-cache/context/a86c089b384a3076dc514ba966a1fac9/formats/luatex' resolvers | formats | unable to change to format path '/var/folders/rj/hfjmjx796q102y4v23vh038cgp/T/luatex-cache/context/a86c089b384a3076dc514ba966a1fac9/formats/luatex' mtx-context | error, no format found with name: cont-en, aborting system | total runtime: 5.315 seconds The [ConTeXt docs][1] say that I should run `mtxrun --generate`, which seems to run successfully, and `context --make`, which finishes with the same „unable to change format path“ error (I believe this is what context automatically does when compiling my file, hinted by the „no format found. forcing remake“ message). I tried explicitly running `context --make cont-en` which yields the same result. The given path does exist on my hard drive. I don't even know if the „unable to change format path“ message is actually an error, but I have no other indicator of what goes wrong. The only line that explicitly says „error“ is the one I get when trying to process the file. Interestingly, I have another Mac where I upgraded from MacTeX 2019 to MacTeX 2020 and everything works there. I made sure that everything is up-to-date with the TeX Live Utility. How can I fix this problem?
