Storing and retrieving two-pass data
by Marco 22 Apr '12

22 Apr '12

Hi, I am trying to save a string to the .tuc file and to retrieve it in the next run. My attempt: \starttext \startluacode local collected = utilities.storage.allocate() local tobesaved = utilities.storage.allocate() job.register("job.userdata", tobesaved) tobesaved["foo"] = "value_foo" tobesaved["bar"] = "value_bar" \stopluacode \stoptext This leads to the following entry in the .tuc file: utilitydata.job.userdata={ ["bar"]="value_bar", ["foo"]="value_foo", } I expected to be able to retrieve the data with e.g. collected["foo"], but the collected table is empty. What is the interface to retrieve the values from the .tuc file? Aditya mentioned that there will be a new interface in this (or the upcoming) beta. Marco

Spacebefore and spaceafter in strc-mat
by Aditya Mahajan 17 Apr '12

17 Apr '12

Hi, strc-mat sets: \def\beforedisplayspace {\doifnot{\formulaparameter\c!spacebefore}\v!none{\blank[\formulaparameter\c!spacebefore]}} \def\afterdisplayspace {\doifnot{\formulaparameter\c!spaceafter}\v!none{\blank[\formulaparameter\c!spaceafter ]}} Other environments that provide spacebefore and spaceafter keys (delimiters, floats), do not check if the key is none. I don't really understand why this check is done. Can we delete this check? Aditya

strc-ref.lua

Hi Hans, can you add the following filters to strc-ref.lua and I would remove “filters.text.number” because it’s nonsense when \getreference[number][…] delivers a string and not a number. filters.text = { } function filters.text.title(data) helpers.title(data.entries.text or "?",data.metadata) end -function filters.text.number(data) - helpers.title(data.entries.text or "?",data.metadata) -end function filters.text.page(data,prefixspec,pagespec) helpers.prefixpage(data,prefixspec,pagespec) end +filters.full = { } +filters.full.title = filters.text.title +filters.full.page = filters.text.page Wolfgang

\setuphead and conversion key
by Wolfgang Schuster 11 Apr '12

11 Apr '12

Hi Hans, shouldn’t the name of the “conversion” key be changed to “sectionconversion” because the other structure key have the names “sectionset”, “sectionstarter” etc. \setuphead[section][conversion=Characters] %\setuphead[section][sectionconversion=Characters] \starttext \section{The letter A} \stoptext Wolfgang

Bugs: \WORD and \WORDS behave identically; \Cap and \CAP do nothing
by Sietse Brouwer 29 Mar '12

29 Mar '12

Hi all, (1) In MkIV, \WORD{some text} and \WORDS{some text} both turn the entire text to uppercase ("SOME TEXT"). By analogy with \Word and \Words, I would expect \WORD to only uppercase the first word ("SOME text"), (2) \Cap produces the amsmath \Cap even in text mode. That's the double intersection symbol. Link to picture: http://www.marathon-studios.com/unicode/U22D2/Double_Intersection According to the manual, "\Cap changes the first character of a word into a capital". \Caps already changes a string to small capitals, with the first letter of every word uppercase; so, I would expect \Cap to change a string to small capitals with the first letter of the string uppercase. (I think the manual migh be saying this; it's not quite clear.) (3) \CAP{some \\{text}} does nothing; the double backslash only produces a newline. According to the manual, \CAP changes letters that are preceded by \\ into capital letters. The documentation comments in typo-cap.mkiv also mention the \CAP{ ... ... \\{...} ...} syntax, but the comments don't say what it should do. They're not terribly important commands, to be sure, but they might also be easy fixes. I don't need them for myself; I simply picked a random command + its relatives to improve on the Wiki. Cheers, Sietse

Hi Hans, can you give the \startstructurelevel (and the define and setup command) environment a better name, e.g. \startsectionlevel which fit it’s purpose. Wolfgang
