[NTG-context] Re: chronological TOC
And indeed this is the best solution I could find, though it obviously
meant that something like '29 April 2017' was no good for sorting on...
it has to be the US date format YY-MM-DD

I have succeeded in defining a separate TOC to place at the back,
but have not succeeded in the chronological order! Here is what I
have done:
\definelist[chron][criterium=all,alternative=c]
At the back of the book:
\placelist[chron][criterium=all]
Then at an appropriate point after each \startchapter I have placed
(as an example):
\writetolist[chron]{}{{\bf 29 April 2017,} Speech, Panama City}
This gives me my list, but in page number order. How do I get the
date (e.g. 29 April 2017) to be the ordering factor in the list. I
assume it will be something to do with criterium, but am clueless at
the moment on how to indicate this.
I don’t know if it works this way (the wizards will know a way), but
for special needs I’m (ab)using indexes:
just add something like \index[2017-04-29]{Speech, Panama City} to
your chapter command and setup the index at will.
Lists have a sort option but this is no use here because you can't use
the title to have a chronological sorted list.
\starttext
\placelist[section][order=title]
\section{Hans}
\section{Peter}
\section{Anton}
\stoptext
Using the register mechanism as you suggest seems to be the best
option in this case.

The order= mechanism doesn't seem to work for \definelist lists as opposed to
the built-in ones, viz:
\definelist[chron]
\starttext
\placelist[section][order=title]
\section{Hans}
\writetolist[chron]{}{Hans}
\section{Peter}
\writetolist[chron]{}{Peter}
\section{Anton}
\writetolist[chron]{}{Anton}
\placelist[chron][criterium=all,order=title]

Hi,
I want to make a proper definition of a new command to be able to
process it in Lua. I found something on StackOverflow [1] but that
breaks in enumeration _and_ when interaction is enabled and I do not
understand why? Can you give me some help here?
I want to make commands like \foo{bla} and \foo[b]{bla} possible at the
same time. Here is a minimal example (also attached):
```
\startluacode
function userdata.my_command(keywords, text)
commands.writestatus("test", string.format("text: %s, config: %s",
text, keywords))
local cfg = utilities.parsers.settings_to_hash(keywords)
if cfg['emph'] ~= nil then
context("\\emph{" .. text .. "}")
elseif cfg['bold'] ~= nil then
context("\\bold{" .. text .. "}")
else
context(text)
end
end
\stopluacode
\startluacode
function userdata.my_command(keywords, text)
local keywords = utilities.parsers.settings_to_hash(keywords)
if keywords['emph'] then
context.emph(text)
elseif keywords['bold'] then
context.bold(text)
else
context(text)
end

\stopluacode
% without that line there is no problem
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\defineenumeration[enu][text=Enu]

Hi, I changed line 10066 in mtxrun.lua to templates[i]="%-"..w.."s"..between from templates[i]=“% "..w..”i"..between and that fixed it. The problem here is that the “big" results contain both ttc fonts (with subfont ids, which are numbers) and non-ttc fonts (with empty subfont ids, and those are strings). This means the output template gets confused about whether it should use “%s” or “%i” as format string. > > > > $ mtxrun --script font --list --spec --filter="fontname=ple" > table: 0x3bc80550ac0 > table: 0x3bc80550b00 This is what happens if there are no matches, apparently.

Hi,
You can try:

But there is probably a cleaner way to implement optional arguments with lua?
