Access by glyph index with \tochar{i:19} works well for both MKIV and LMTX.
Access by name with \tochar{n:a39} does not work in LMTX with log
message: char ✓ (U+02713) in font 'ZapfDingbats-4' with id 8: missing. Also
\ShowCompleteFont does not report any glyph names in LMTX.

[NTG-context] Allow pagebreaks in footnotes

2020-09-18 Thread denis . maier . lists 

Hi

Is there a setting that prevents footnotes from spreading over more than 
one page? I have a document where this seems to be the case, but I don't 
know why. It just looks like ConTeXt tries to keep the complete footnote 
on one page, which leads to ugly white space at the end of almost every 
page. (LaTeX has \interfootnotelinepenalty to customize this, but what 
about ConTeXt?)

Best
Denis

Most likely due to my limited understanding of how these things work. I 
thought storing the text and retrieving it later would be the easiest 
way to get rid of the constraints of linar processing of the XML file. 
The layout itself is determined by setups such as this one:


\startsetups abstract
    \startabstract
        \documentvariable{abstract}
    \stopabstract
\stopsetups

\setuphead [chapter][
    alternative=middle,

    indentnext=no,
    style=\tfa\setupinterlinespace,
    after={\directsetup{placeauthors}\directsetup{abstract}},
    footer=chapterfooter,
    ]

How could I fetch the xml node from here so I don't need a variable, 
buffer or the like?

Re: [NTG-context] Problem with fonts in Lua

Just a minor issue, ancient Greek is "agr" (instead of "gr").

That being said, Heraklit is a good match for Palatino (both by Hermann
Zapf). The digitized version is available from
https://greekfontsociety-gfs.gr/_assets/fonts/GFS_Heraklit.zip (direct
link).

So the final sample might read:

  \definefallbackfamily
 [mainface] [rm] [GFS Heraklit]
 [preset=range:greek,force=yes]

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

  \definefontfamily [mainface] [ss] [TeX Gyre Heros] [scale=0.75]

  \setuplanguage [es] [patterns={es,gr}]

  \setupbodyfont [mainface, 15pt]

  \mainlanguage[es]

  \starttext

  \samplefile{cervantes-es}

  \samplefile{aristotle-grc}}

  \stoptext

Just in case it helps,

Pablo

Re: [NTG-context] ZapfDingbats Unicode differences MKIV vs LMTX

Dear List,

In MKIV, line (1) fails to output the requested glyph, while line (2) 
produces a "check" (✓). In LMTX, line (2) fails and line (1) produces 
the "check" (✓) . The output of "\ShowCompleteFont" reports differing 
Unicodes for the same glyphs. Apparently the Unicodes for ZapfDingbats 
have changed.


I would like to have a "check" (✓) in the output for both MKIV and LMTX. 
Options:
A) Is there a way to address the glyph in ZapfDingbats for both MKIV and 
LMTX uniformly, e.g. by glyph index? (By glyph name does not seem to 
work: MKIV reports glyph names, LMTX does not.)
B) Is there a conditional that I can build into the source to 
distinguish between MKIV and LMTX?
C) Is there a font in the distribution for which I can have a 
"check"-symbol in both MKIV and LMTX?
Dingbats are old school t1 without proper names so we can't use 
unicodes. However, there is a goodie that should do that so that in 
principle it should work with unicodes but there is some interference 
going on (i'll look at that)


For nwo access by 'name' or 'index' (these are kind of stable for such 
an old font):


 n:a34  : \getglyph{ZapfDingbats}{\tochar{n:a34}}  \par
 n:a35  : \getglyph{ZapfDingbats}{\tochar{n:a35}}  \par
 i:48   : \getglyph{ZapfDingbats}{\tochar{i:48}}   \par
 i:49   : \getglyph{ZapfDingbats}{\tochar{i:49}}   \par

[NTG-context] Best way to store text for later use

2020-09-18 Thread Denis Maier 

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.)

However this doesn't work!  It gives the following error:

Isn't that weird? But perhaps it has to do with me not understanding

Re: [NTG-context] Error setting up ConTeXt in MacTeX 2020

  I think I may have found the origin of the error:

  These messages come from the middle of the file luat-fmt.lua (lines
180 and 183, respectively, on my system) when ConTeXt tries to change
the working directory (that’s what “change” means in this context, just
moving to another directory, as in cd or chdir).  The relevant extract
is

report_format("changing to format path %a",validformatpath)
lfs.chdir(validformatpath)
if dir.current() ~= validformatpath then
return fatalerror(startupdir,"unable to change to format path 
%a",validformatpath)
end

  In your case validformatpath is a subdirectory of $TMPDIR, under
/var/folders/.  However, if your Mac is anything like mine, /var is
actually a symbolic link to /private/var, so that dir.current() reports
a path starting with /private and the test fails.

  You can work around that by setting TMPDIR to some other value, that
doesn’t start with /var -- and not /tmp either because that’s also a
symbolic link :-)  It should work with a temporary directory in your
home folder.  Can you try that?

Best,

Arthur

What does

I don't really have any reason for using MacTeX over texlive; I was once 
told that this is the thing I want to use on a Mac when I was a student, 
and have used it ever since.
I could switch over and try texlive if nothing else helps, though I 
think it would be good to pin down the cause of this error and tell the 
MacTeX folks about it.

[NTG-context] ZapfDingbats Unicode differences MKIV vs LMTX

2020-09-18 Thread Christoph Reller 
Dear List,

I have the following MWE:

\definefontsynonym[ZapfDingbats][file:ZapfDingbats][features=dingbats]
\usemodule [fnt-10]
\starttext
(1) \getglyphdirect{ZapfDingbats}{61491}\crlf % MKIV log: char  (U+0F033)
in font 'ZapfDingbats-4' with id 8: missing
(2) \getglyphdirect{ZapfDingbats}{983059} % LMTX log: char  (U+F0013)
in font 'ZapfDingbats-4' with id 8: missing
\ShowCompleteFont{name:ZapfDingbats}{14pt}{1}
\stoptext

In MKIV, line (1) fails to output the requested glyph, while line (2)
produces a "check" (✓). In LMTX, line (2) fails and line (1) produces the
"check" (✓) . The output of "\ShowCompleteFont" reports differing Unicodes
for the same glyphs. Apparently the Unicodes for ZapfDingbats have changed.

I would like to have a "check" (✓) in the output for both MKIV and LMTX.
Options:
A) Is there a way to address the glyph in ZapfDingbats for both MKIV and
LMTX uniformly, e.g. by glyph index? (By glyph name does not seem to work:
MKIV reports glyph names, LMTX does not.)
B) Is there a conditional that I can build into the source to distinguish
between MKIV and LMTX?
C) Is there a font in the distribution for which I can have a
"check"-symbol in both MKIV and LMTX?

Any help is appreciated!
Cheers,

Christoph

[NTG-context] Error setting up ConTeXt in MacTeX 2020

2020-09-18 Thread Felix Krause 

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?

Regards,
Felix

Hi ConTeXt users,

That's indeed magic and it works! Hans, thanks for your prompt answer!

But I would like to take this a step further, by introducing a macro 
within the start/stopuseMPgraphic structure like so:


\startuseMPgraphic{name}{s::lbl}
   def mymacro (text lb) =
     pair a ; a := (3cm,3cm) ;label.top("String: " & str lb,a) ;
   enddef ;
   mymacro(\MPvariable{lbl}) ;
\stopuseMPgraphic

and this works too, but what if I introduce another text argument like:

\startuseMPgraphic{name}{s::lbl,s::label}
   def mymacro (text lb,lbx) =
     pair a ; a := (3cm,3cm) ;label.top("String: " & str lb & ", " & str 
lbx,a) ;

   enddef ;
   mymacro(\MPvariable{lbl},\MPvariable{label}) ;
\stopuseMPgraphic

However this doesn't work!  It gives the following error:

! Missing argument to mymacro.

Isn't that weird? But perhaps it has to do with me not understanding 
argument passing properly within METAPOST macros!


Can someone please explain why this 2 argument example doesn't work?

so, I'm sorry for bothering you!)
