Are there any books on ConTeXt? Or is all available documentation in electronic form? Thanks.

Re: [NTG-context] common counter

Hallo! I'll try asking my question a little bit different: With \setupnumber[formula] [number=davidsnumber] the origin formulanumber(what is its name?) will be overwritten and replaced by davidsnumber. But with \setupnumber[figure] [number=davidsnumber] the origin figurenumbering remains untouched and davidsnumber gets an additionl counter. So there are the following questions: - Why is this different behaviour? - How can I replace the figurecounter by davidsnumber such, that captions and figuretables will use this new counter? - Are the origin formula/figure-counters compatible with counters defined by \definenumber? Or are they other animals? Wolfgang

How to display JavaScript's values in ConTeXt
by Zhichu Chen 05 Sep '06

05 Sep '06

Hello everybody, I want to add a clock which shows the system time to a pdf file. And I have read the ``art-calc.pdf'' and ``mwidget-p.pdf'' to find some approaches but failed shamely. I am indeed new at ConTeXt and JavaScript. Before I'm shocked by ConTeXt, I used LaTeX for about 2 years, so I'm confused with the conventions between ConTeXt and LaTeX. My code is here: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \setupinteraction[state=start] \startJSpreamble functions used now function do_digit(d) { Stack[Level] += String(d); do_refresh(Level) } \stopJSpreamble \startJScode{digit} do_digit(JS_S_1); \stopJScode \definefield[Stack.1][line][Results][][ \setupfield [Results] [horizontal,frame] [width=fit, height=2cm, frame=on] [height=18pt,width=80pt,align=middle,frame=off] [height=18pt,width=80pt,color=red,align=right,style=type,frame=off] \setupbuttons [background=infobutton] \starttext Click \button{7}[JS(digit{7})] will get \field[Stack.1] \stoptext -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I only copied these codes from "art-calc.pdf" so there must be some other critical concepts that I haven't realized. Please point them to me. Thanks

Numbering of figures (was listoffloats question)
by Willi Egger 05 Sep '06

05 Sep '06

Hi Hans and Taco Playing with figures and listings I detected the following: (ConTeXt ver: 2006.08.08 17:52 fmt: 2006.8.8 int: english mes: english) \mainlanguage[de] \definefloat[SMUfigur][SMUfiguren] \definefloat[BAINFfigur][BAINFfiguren] Those floats are used together with the readily available figure-float in the following structure: \part{First} \chapter \section ... \part{Second} \chapter \section ... ..... This structure is embedded in a project-structure. The figures are loaded from a figure-library. Now if the \completelistoffiigures, \completelistofSMUfiguren, \completelistofBAINFfiguren are issued, each list gets correctly its own incremental numbering. However if the above defined floats are defined in order to inherit from the figure-environment \definefloat[SMUfigur][SMUfiguren][figure] \definefloat[BAINFfigur][BAINFfiguren][figure] then the numbering gets confused. i.e.. the first SMUfigur, which occurs in the first part in chapter 2 gets numbered 2.0. instead of 2.15. Further numbering in the second part gets even more confusing. The first SMUfigur appears in the first chapter and gets numbered 1.-14, which should be 1.9. The next figure, which is also a SMUfigur gets numbered 1.-13 instead of 1.10. This is repeated for the third SMUfigur: 1.-12 instead of 1.11 - Puzzling is the - sign.and the reverse order of the number. Could one of you please have a look at this? Thanks Willi

XML filtering
by WN 03 Sep '06

03 Sep '06

Hello, I have a couple of XML's generated by a freeware program which I want to process with Context. I started experimenting and things look good, however I want to skip/filter out some of the xml tags like *<computeraudit> Some Text .... </computeraudit>* and *<disclaimer> Some Text </disclaimer>* so they don't show in the resulting PDF. The Tex and XML files are listed below. \usemodule[contml] \defineXMLargument [category] {\chapter{ \XMLpar{category}{title}{} }} \defineXMLargument [subcategory] {\section{ \XMLpar{subcategory}{title}{} }} \defineXMLenvironment [list] \startitemize \stopitemize \defineXMLenvironment [item] \item \par \defineXMLenvironment [recordset] \bTABLE \eTABLE \defineXMLpickup [datarow] \bTR \eTR \defineXMLpickup [fieldvalue] \bTD \eTD \starttext \processXMLfilegrouped{Bios.xml} \stoptext <?xml ============== File Bios.xml ===================> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?> <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="wa_xml2html.xsl"?> <computeraudit> <title>Computer Audit :: 03-Sep-2006 18:25:08</title> <category title="BIOS Version"> <subcategory title=""> <recordset title=""> <fieldname>Item</fieldname> <fieldname>Value</fieldname> <datarow> <fieldvalue>System Version</fieldvalue> <fieldvalue>ASUS - 30303031 Award Medallion BIOS v6.0 Award Plug and Play BIOS Extension v1.0A Award Modular BIOS v6.0</fieldvalue> </datarow> <datarow> <fieldvalue>System Date</fieldvalue> <fieldvalue>08/20/02</fieldvalue> </datarow> <datarow> <fieldvalue>Video Version</fieldvalue> <fieldvalue>ASUS AGP-V7700 VGA BIOS Version 2.15.01.14 ASUS AGP-V7700 VGA BIOS Version 2.15.01.14 ASUS AGP-V7700 VGA BIOS Version 2.15.01.14</fieldvalue> </datarow> <datarow> <fieldvalue>Video Date</fieldvalue> <fieldvalue>08/17/00</fieldvalue> </datarow> </recordset> </subcategory> </category> <disclaimer>Names mentioned herein maybe trademarks or service marks of their respective holders.

texexec from parent directory
by Aditya Mahajan 02 Sep '06

02 Sep '06

Hi, I have the following project structure base/ | +--project.tex | +--product.tex | +--environment.tex + subdir/ | +---component.tex If I in subdir and texexec component it compiles fine. If I am in base and texexec subdir/component it works fine. However, if I am in the parent directory of base and texexec base/subdir/component it does not work as the environment file is not found. It seems that the search for files is taking place relative to the directory from where texexec is invoked, rather than relative to the directory where the file resides. Is there some way I can make the component file compile from the parent directory of base? Thanks, Aditya

two questions - rlxtools and an error in presentation mode
by Dalyoung 02 Sep '06

02 Sep '06

Hi, all, 1. I get a pdf output via "*.tex -(XeTeX+ConTeXt)-> *.xdv -(xdv2pdf)- > *.pdf" because some korean fonts didn't get well with xdvipdfmx. There is another problem to call a figure using "externalfigure". There is a black space instead of real figure. In the log file, I can see following lines. -------------------- TeXUtil | running texmfstart rlxtools --identify ./sier-carpet.jpg identify: no decode delegate for this image format `./sier-carpet.jpg'. RlxTools | unable to identify ./sier-carpet.jpg TeXExec | TeX run 2 ----------------------- I checked it in the terminal using "identify filename", but it always said that "no decode delegate for this image format `filename". If I use the commnad "XeTeXpicfile", it is OK. Is there an easy way to resolve this? 2. I got the following error during the ConTeXt process(not with XeTeX). What is wrong in my file? I tried different module(22), but the same result. -------------- (./pretest-sample.tmp) [MP to PDF] (./pretest-mpgraph.3998 !

Line numbering
by CV Radhakrishnan 01 Sep '06

01 Sep '06

Dear all, Forgive me if I sound naive. I searched the archives, but could not find the solution for my following problem: I need to have line numbers for the text formatted in two columns. The numbers for left column shall appear in the left side and that for right column shall appear in the right side of the page. location=inmargin option to the \setuplinenumbering doesn't help much. Please take a look at the following image: http://www.river-valley.com/cvr/one.png which will give you an idea of my requirement. Any help in this matter will be highly apprecaited and thanks in advance. Best Radhakrishnan
