Pretty Printing Python code
by Erik Margraf 29 Dec '09

29 Dec '09

Hello all, I wanted to typeset some Python code and stumbled across the pretty printing feature of ConTeXt. So far, I think I've learned the following: -- There's no pretty printer for python. Neither in MKII nor in MKIV -- The wiki has an example implementation for a python pretty printer for MKII, i guess. I decided to play a little bit with pretty printing (maybe implement a Python pretty printer on my own) and failed at the start ;-) I tried the following: -- Copied the filename pret-lua.lua to pret-py.lua -- Added a print statement to verify that the respective lua code (pret-lua.lua, pret-py.lua) is actually called. When I ran context on the file below, I could see that "pret-lua.lua" had been called, but "pret-py.lua" had not. I guess, I did wrong something very fundamental. Thanks in advance for any hint Erik Margraf

Getting font parameters in MkIV
by Oliver Buerschaper 29 Dec '09

29 Dec '09

Dear all, how can I access font parameters (e.g. the thickness of the fraction rule) of an OpenType font in MkIV? Taco once gave me the solution: --- \usetypescript[cambria] \setupbodyfont[cambria] \def\defaultrulethickness{\the\fontdimen8\textfont3\relax} \starttext \the\defaultrulethickness \stoptext --- which used to work in the old MkII days. Now with MkIV I get: --- ! Font \nullfont has only 7 fontdimen parameters. <to be read again> \relax l.10 \the\defaultrulethickness ? --- What's the new method to obtain the desired parameters? Best wishes, Oliver

Hi Hans, font expansion is broken in MkIV. \definefontfeature[default][default][expansion=quality] %\setupalign[hz] \usetypescript[modern] \setupbodyfont[modern] \starttext \input knuth \stoptext Wolfgang

Bibliographic mess
by Manuel P. 26 Dec '09

26 Dec '09

Hi! I'm fighting with the bibliography for hours now. I've a bibtex file with the entries: "bibliografia.bib", and I want to list ALL its entries (whether cited or not). Easy enough: ---- \setupbibtex[database=bibliografia] \setuppublications[alternative=num,criterium=all,numbering=yes] \starttext % Thesis [...] \placepublications[sorttype=bbl,criterium=all] \stoptext ---- I've incorporated a style for typesetting urls stealed from contextgarden: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Bibliography Except for the fact that with MKIV (context command) I see only the cited ones. With MKII (texexec) I see all the entries but there isn't any url despite the \setuppublicationlayout command. I would love to have a bibliography chapter with all the entries (cited or not), some of them must display an acrive URL, and possibly filed by type in different sections. For example: ---- \chapter{Bibliography} \section{Books} % books entries \section{Presentations} % Audio-video presentations references with the internet URL \section{Articles and Papers} % Entries with an active URL ---- Is it possible? I've read "bibmod-doc.pdf" without much success. -- Manuel P.

Hi, can someone confirm the misbehaviour with ligatures in my example? It’s there since the last three or four betas, perhaps longer. Greetings Andreas

coverpage with repeated pattern
by Martin Scholz 26 Dec '09

26 Dec '09

Hallo List, just started to create a cover page and now my question is how to create a coverpage like the one of the chemic-manual by Hans. Does one need to draw ever line alone or is there a nice way to create this look and feel with much less on coding work. Thanks for your replies. Greetings and Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all of you Martin

Numbered Labels
by Wolfgang Murth 26 Dec '09

26 Dec '09

Hi all, For a rulebook I wanted to use numbered labels in the margin for each rule like in the manual in chapter 10.5. But I dont get the chapter or section number before the rulenumber. I.e. I only get "Rule 2" instead of "Rule 4.2". How can i manage this? In the Wiki are no hints about that. Below a minimal example of what I tried. Thanks for your help. With sunny greetings from Austria Wolfgang Murth %------------------------------------------------------------------ \definelabel[rule][text=Rule,location=inmargin,before=, after=, way=bysection] \starttext \chapter{test} \rule this is a simple test \section{Section A} \rule[1] this is a simple test \rule this is a simple test \rule this is a simple test \rule this is a simple test \rule this is a simple test \section{Section B} \rule this is a simple test \rule this is a simple test \rule this is a simple test \rule this is a simple test \stoptext %------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi, This afternoon luatex 0.50 has been released. This means that the garden will soon ship this milestone version. I uploaded a beta context release. Next week there will be new current. We're probably not that much online cq. in bug fixing mood in the next couple of days. http://www.pragma-ade.com/2009.pdf Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
