#TeXConTeXt

The announced update has happened.

Beware of changes WRT footnotes!

Another addition is:
\setuplayout[grid=snapping]
different grid snapping model that delegates more to the TeX engine. Some info in beyond-snapping.tex; still experimental. Some mechanisms (like section heads & math) accept a snapping parameter.

Several bug fixes & small enhancements.

Wolfgang updated the interface definition files!

Prep for #TeXlive 26

⚠️ The upcoming ConTeXt update has changes WRT footnotes.

Better install it beside your current one instead of just updating and check if everything works as intended.

ConTeXt’s sourcecode is slowly moving from github to codeberg!
(ATM the cb repo is secondary and needs to get updated manually, but it will become the main one over time.)

It’s this time of the year when everyone asks for donations.
Here’s how you make an EPC QR code for SEPA transfers in #ConTeXt #LMTX:

\startluacode
local sum = 50.0
local subject = "Donation"
local qrtext=string.format([[BCD
002
1
SCT
RABONL2U
ConTeXt Group
NL04RABO0163223726
EUR%.02f
CHAR
%s
]], sum, subject)
figures.qrcode(qrtext,"blue",tex.sp("5cm"))
\stopluacode

According to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPC_QR_code
it works with banks in Austria, Belgium, Finland, Germany, and The Netherlands.
