MkIV gobbles text in xml files
by Wolfgang Schuster 30 Nov '08

30 Nov '08

Hi, I was able to reproduce Thomas problem with xml files. Part of his text was missing because he had a space after his <sln/> element in the file which caused ConTeXt to gobble the following text till the end of the paragraph. In the following text the second line in the second paragraph has a space at the end of the line and the two lines with b's did not appear in the output (test files are attached). <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <document> aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb </document> Wolfgang

xml parsing
by Thomas A. Schmitz 28 Nov '08

28 Nov '08

Hi all, Hans, this is a terribly inaccurate bug report, and I apologize for its form, but it's something you and other people might want to look at. Or maybe I should change my files, I don't know. Here comes: SUMMARY The new mkiv xml parser sometimes "eats" parts of my xml files when they are typeset. It appears to skip parts of text between two tags. DESCRIPTION I have no minimal example, just a description: for my lectures, I have defined a counter to tell me when I want to show the next slide: \definelabel[SlideNumber][headstyle=normal,way=bytext] \define\sln{\color[red]{ [\nextSlideNumber]}} For my xml files, I have wrapped this into a xml command: \startxmlsetups xml:sln \sln \stopxmlsetups This works wonderfully in most cases. To make my source file more readable, I usually code foo <sln/> bar In this case, the xml parser SOMETIMES (not reproducibly, unfortunately) skips the "bar" part up to the next paragraph tag. When I take away the line break and write foo <sln/> bar the "bar" part appears normally. ANECDOTE I write my lectures in xml so I can put them on a website for my students, and I deliver them from typeset notes. This happened to me last Tuesday. I had typeset and printed my notes, and then while lecturing realized that an entire paragraph was missing. I could ad- lib it, but this is not something you want to happen at an important job-talk... ALl best Thomas

If you use the customize command, this will write to your .emacs file. Thomas > Thomas A.

End Notes and Minimals
by Bart C. Wise 27 Nov '08

27 Nov '08

I've tried several things to get end notes working with the Minimals distribution (MkIV). However, nothing seems to work and what worked for MkII does not work now. Is there a new method for getting end notes in MkIV? Thank, Bart
