I basically agree with everything you say, Jean-Pierre. Publishers are modern-day robber barons, and they have been stifling and exploiting scholars and scholarship for many years now. Behemoths such as Brill, de Gruyter, or Elsevier are bankrupting libraries in the entire world. However, we sch

[NTG-context] Something smells rotten in the state of luametatex...

Hi all, I have a document here for one of my classes: xml processed via context, some layers, some two column paragraphs, a bibliography, nothing out of the ordinary. With mkiv, it compiles cleanly: mkiv lua stats > used engine: luatex version: 1.13, functionality level: 7420, banner: this

Thank you so much, Hans, that's a neat solution! I was banging my head against the wall, but this makes sense. On 10/5/21 6:38 PM, Hans Hagen wrote: Because you know how to rotate and scale: \startuseMPgraphic{empedocless} path p, q, r ; pair a ; p := fullcircle scaled 10cm ; drawarrow p

Re: [NTG-context] Harvard bibliography style

To get you started: the APA standards are defined in publ-imp-apa.mkvi and publ-imp-apa.lua. You could try and copy these files to different names (beginning with publ-imp-) and then make changes. You’ll have to replace the “apa:” prefix with the name you give your own style. From my experience,
