That line loads typo-ling.lmt so does something go wrong there?

[NTG-context] upgrade problem

[jbf]

I have just upgraded Context to the latest, but am getting the message:

mtx-context | warning: no format found, forcing remake (commandline 
driven)


and at the end,

mtx-context | error, no format found with name: cont-en, aborting

Is there something that did not work properly in the upgrade or have I 
possibly created the problem somehow?

[NTG-context] URL in footnote citation

[Kip Warner]

Hello list,

I am trying to get my references that have URLs to automatically set
the entry title to the URL and not print the URL after it.

Here is a minimal:

   \startbuffer[testdata]
   @Article{wikipedia2024_depeche_mode_sounds_of_the_universe,
 author= {{Wikipedia contributors}},
 title = {Sounds of the Universe},
 year  = {2024},
 url   = 
{https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sounds_of_the_Universe&oldid=1224785220},
 note  = "[Online; accessed 20-May-2024]"
   }
   \stopbuffer
   
   % Setup bibliography...
   
  % Select References.bib and name it the main database...
  \usebtxdataset[main][testdata.buffer]
   
  % Citation style...
  \usebtxdefinitions[apa]
   
  % Use our main dataset for citations...
  \setupbtx[dataset=main]
   
  \definebtxrendering[main][apa][dataset=main]
   
  \setupbtxrendering[main][
  pagestate=start,
  continue=yes,
  numbering=yes]
   
  % Macro to put the citations as footnotes...
  \unexpanded\def\footnotecite{\dodoubleempty\domycite}
  \def\domycite[#1][#2]%
  {\ifsecondargument
  \footnote{\alwayscite[alternative=entry,#1][main::#2]}%
  \else
  \footnote{\alwayscite[alternative=entry][main::#1]}%
  \fi}
   
   \starttext
   Some 
footnote.\footnotecite[wikipedia2024_depeche_mode_sounds_of_the_universe]
   \stoptext

The footnote renders like so:

   Wikipedia contributors (2024). Sounds of the Universe. Retrieved from
   https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sounds_of_the_Universe&oldid
   =1224785220 ([Online; accessed 20-May-2024])

It would look much better if it looked like so:

   Wikipedia contributors (2024). Sounds of the Universe. ([Online;
   accessed 20-May-2024])

...where "Sounds of the Universe" is linked to the URL in the BibTeX
database. Is this possible to do?

I use the Debian packages that ship with Ubuntu Noble (24.04). I'm a
bit reluctant to install outside of the package manager's stewardship
of the FHS, but might have to.

You have to set the width for the item symbol/counter to 0pt to get rid 
of the space before the table.


 begin example
\showframe[text][text]

\starttext

\startitemize
\starttabulate[|||]
\NI First item  \NC\NR

[NTG-context] (off-topic) hovering over links in Acrobat Reader

[Pablo Rodriguez via ntg-context]

Dear list,

I have the following source:

\setupbodyfont[dejavu, sans, 24pt]
\setupinteraction[state=start, style=, color=,
contrastcolor=, display=new]
\enabledirectives[references.border=darkgreen]
\def\myurl#1%
  {{\tt\goto{\hyphenatedurl{#1}}[url(#1)]}}
\protect\def\myhref#1#2%
  {\goto{\hyphenatedurl{#1}}[url(#2)]}
\starttext
\startTEXpage[pagestate=start, offset=1em, align=center]
{\bfa Hovering Over Links}
\blank[1st]
\attachment[method=hidden, file={signed-a.pdf}]
\goto{An embedded PDF document}[signed-a::]
\blank[.5st]
\myurl{https://contextgarden.net}
\blank[.5st]
\myhref{A link to the Garden}{https://contextgarden.net}
\stopTEXpage
\stoptext

I also attach my output, since the first link is a link to an embedded
document and not the expected link to an external document (I modified
ConTeXt to get that kind of link).

The issue I’m experiencing with Acrobat Reader DC on Windows
(automatically updated to latest version) is that when hovering over
links, I get different results.

The three links are (in order from top to bottom):

1. A link to the embedded document.
2. An external link with its address as text.
3. Another external link without its address as text.

Some days (as today [sorry, I don’t have access to Windows now]),
hovering over the three links displayed the word "link" (even with
Acrobat set to Spanish).

Other days, hovering over the first link displays nothing and hovering
over the two other links show their actual destination address.

This behavior seems so random to me that I‘m not sure I’m not missing
anything.

Would you be so kind to test the attached document (and the one you may
generate from the sample source) hovering over the link frames in
Acrobat (ideally DC updated to latest)?

At least, I would like to be sure what is going on here.

Hovering over links is basic precaution before clicking them.

To explain that to others, I’d rather know how Acrobat (Reader) behaves
in these cases.

Sorry the off-topic issue and many thanks for your help in advance,

Pablo

On MSYS2 (Win10), I have both libs even on the bin directory.

On Linux, I have both (from openssl-libs.x86_64 and openssl-libs.i686):

/usr/lib64/libcrypto.so.3
/usr/lib64/libcrypto.so.3.2.1
/usr/lib64/libssl.so.3
/usr/lib64/libssl.so.3.2.1

/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.3
/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.3.2.1
/usr/lib/libssl.so.3
/usr/lib/libssl.so.3.2.1

This might be causing the issue, but I’m afraid Wine needs 32bit libs.

I need to check this further.

[NTG-context] Arranging bullets within tabulate and itemize

\startitemize[packed_,joinedup_][afterhead=,]

which produces something like:

Probably only Hans (or Wolfgang) can give a complete answer here. But

\startsetups [*default]

works here.

/Mikael

currently \brokenpenalties only takes one setting

  {\ifdefined#1%
 \frozen#1\ifx#1\brokenpenalties

   \numexpr#2+\plusone\relax\space\expandedrepeat\numexpr#2\relax

   \fi}


PS

An interesting new feature is the possibility to set penalties depending 
on left and right page, by using options. For example


\startsetups [*default]
   \directsetup{*reset}
   \frozen\clubpenalties   3 options 4 1500 3000 250 500 0 0 \relax
\stopsetups

sets club club penalties 1500 for first line and 250 for second for 
going from left page to right page (and then 0 for the rest) and 3000 
for first line and 500 for second (and rest 0) for going from right page 
to left page.


I hope this helps a bit.

I think the contextgarden wiki page is very out of date on that point.  I
was using auctex 13.x.y and updated to 14.0.4 a while back, and never had

Not on my system.  Are you by any chance running an "ancient" version of
auctex?

I've been using emacs for over thirty years, and have managed to never need
to explicitly setq exec-path.  How are you starting emacs?  If you start it
from a terminal session, it should inherit the PATH from your shell, which
presumably has the directory where your context executable is found.

If you are starting emacs by clicking on some window manager (or desktop
environment) button / icon / widget / ...  (or 'accelerator key') then
evidently your window manager doesn't have the same PATH as your shell.
Without knowing what window manager / desktop environment you use, and how
you are starting emacs, I can't suggest a specific solution.

In my opinion, the Right Thing to do is to ensure your window manager is
started with the correct PATH.  But depending on your system that could be
easy or tricky.

More pragmatically, if you created a .desktop file to run emacs, and have a
line in that file like
Exec=emacs
you might replace it with
Exec=env PATH= emacs
where  is what you have when you
echo $PATH
from a terminal session.

I recently filed an auctex bug report and one of the auctex developers
updated the context.el file (to be put in the next release).  I was told
that none of the auctex developers use ConTeXt (imagine!!) and that they
were happy to have some reports from ConTeXt users.  But before you
consider contacting them, I strongly advise you to upgrade to the newest
auctex release.

Again, I suspect your window manager is not started with the complete PATH
that you have set up in your shell init file(s).

If you wish to dig into this further, I'd be happy to try to help you with
it.

[NTG-context] \brokenpenalties query

[Alan Bowen]

I have in the past relied on
\setpenalties\brokenpenalties{1}{1}\
to set the penalty for a page break after a hyphen. But with the latest
LMTX, when I run the file, I get the error message
Errorcount has to be 1 for \brokenpenalties
Any advice on how to fix the file would be most welcome.

Alan

Hi,

If you use that kind of simple graphics, you can avoid this transparency 
hacking by using metafun:


\setupbodyfont[dejavu]

\starttext

\startuseMPgraphic{test}
pickup pencircle scaled 2mm ;
draw fullcircle scaled 3cm withcolor darkred  withstacking 1 ;
draw fullcircle scaled 2cm withcolor darkblue withstacking 2 ;
draw textext("one")   withcolor darkgreen withstacking 11 ;
draw textext("two")   withcolor darkgreen withstacking 12 ;
draw textext("three") withcolor darkgreen withstacking 13 ;
\stopuseMPgraphic

\startTEXpage[offset=.25ts]
\useMPgraphic{test}{stacking={1,11}}
\stopTEXpage

\startTEXpage[offset=.25ts]
\useMPgraphic{test}{stacking={2,12}}
\stopTEXpage

\startTEXpage[offset=.25ts]
\useMPgraphic{test}{stacking={1,2,13}}
\stopTEXpage

\stoptext

It's an already old feature but probably not that well known. If needed 
I can make something similar at the tex end.

For some strange reason, I cannot get --library verification.

I only get:

sign pdf| signature in file 'a.pdf' doesn't match the content

I‘m afraid I don’t know what I’m missing.

probably a couple of libraries ...

local libfiles   = os.name == "windows"
