Zooming in to a specific part of the page
by Aditya Mahajan 17 Nov '10

17 Nov '10

Hi, Is it possible to zoom into a specific part of the page? I am thinking of the following scenario. Suppose I have the following document \setuppapersize[S6][S6] \starttext \placefigure[right,none]{\externalfigure[dummy][width=0.3\textwidth]} \input knuth \page \input tufte \stoptext I want that when I click on the image, the pdf is zoomed in so that the image occupies the full screen[1], and when I click on the zoomed in image, it zooms out and I get the previous page view. How do I achieve this? I am guessing that some javascript magic might be needed, but I do not understand the interaction code at all. This feature will be pretty handy for presentations. Thanks Aditya [1]: I do not know if the pdf reader knows the screen size. Assuming that the screen aspect ratio is the same as the page aspect ratio might be a good approximation (at least for presentations).

Hi all, the database module don't seem to work as expected. I've tried an example from m-database.mkiv, no pdf is produced, or did I miss something? \usemodule[database] \starttext \defineseparatedlist [CSV] [separator={,}, before=\bTABLE,after=\eTABLE, first=\bTR,last=\eTR, left=\bTD,right=\eTD] \startCSV a,b,c d,e,f \stopCSV \stoptext By the way, the files on http://source.contextgarden.net/ are from 2010.03.30!? Greeting Andreas

libertine typescript
by Herbert Voss 17 Nov '10

17 Nov '10

I like to use the fonts keyboard, outline and shadow of libertine, defined in a typescrip, e.g. [...] \starttypescript[keyboard][biolinumKB] \definefontsynonym[Keyboard][file:LinBiolinum_Kb-0.5.4][features=default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript[outline][biolinumOL] \definefontsynonym[Outline] [file:fxbo] [features=default] \definefontsynonym[OutlineBold] [file:fxbob][features=default] \definefontsynonym[OutlineItalic][file:fxboi][features=default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript[shadow][biolinumSH] \definefontsynonym[Shadow] [file:fxbs] [features=default] \definefontsynonym[ShadowBold] [file:fxbsb][features=default] \definefontsynonym[ShadowItalic][file:fxbsi][features=default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript[mylibertine] [...] \definetypeface[mylibertine][kb][keyboard][biolinumKB][default] \definetypeface[mylibertine][ol][outline] [biolinumOL][default] \definetypeface[mylibertine][sh][shadow] [biolinumSH][default] \stoptypescript [...] however, this did not work. Where do I have to define the new commands \kb, \ol and \sh? This works: \definefont[keyboard][LinBiolinum_Kb-0.5.4 at 20pt] \definefont[outline][fxbo at 20pt] \definefont[shadow][fxbs at 20pt] \starttext The layout of my keyboard:\\ {\keyboard qwertz} it is a german one.\par {\outline Outline font}\par {\shadow Shadow font}\par \stoptext the output: http://perce.de/temp/x.png Herbert

Updating to Beta Builds of ConTeXt / LuaTeX from tlcontrib breaks MacTeX
by Andrew Starks 17 Nov '10

17 Nov '10

At Aditya's suggestion, I'm cross-posting this from tex.stackexchange.com [Executive Summary: I might be missing something really simple and I might be overcomplicating something really easy. In short: 1: I installed MacTeX 2010. 2: I updated all packages using the normal trees. 3: I changed my TEXMFHOME variable in /usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf.cnf to "~/src/texmf", which is where I keep my custom modules/templates/packages. (This is normally within our github source control, but hasn't been yet.) and moved the content from the old directory to the new. 4: I was beating my head against the wall, trying to make font selection work using typescriptfile/typescript as well as simplefont. The closest I could get was with simplefont and Palatino spewing garbage text. 5: I decided to try "http://tlcontrib.metatex.org/" with tlmgr using "sudo tlmgr --repository http://tlcontrib.metatex.org/2010 update -all" 6: I "sudo texconfig rehash"ed (seemed okay), "sudo mtxrun --generate" (seemed okay). Then I "sudo luatools --generate" and got something that ended with " MTXrun | unknown script 'base.lua' or 'mtx-base.lua'" 7: Just typing "luatools" results in: "MTXrun | unknown script 'base.lua' or 'mtx-base.lua'" 8: I tried editing the two texmfcnf.lua files that I found with: return { content = { TEXMFCACHE = '~/Library/texlive/2010/texmf-var', TEXMFHOME = '~/src/texmf-trms', }, TEXMFCACHE = '~/Library/texlive/2010/texmf-var', } But had no effect. That is where I'm at right now. Whenever I try to compile, I get: MTXrun | warning: no format found, forcing remake (commandline driven) MTXrun | running command: luatools --generate MTXrun | unknown script 'base.lua' or 'mtx-base.lua' MTXrun | running command: luatools --make --compile cont-en MTXrun | unknown script 'base.lua' or 'mtx-base.lua' MTXrun | error, no format found with name: cont-en, aborting MTXrun | total runtime: 0.321 The rest of this email is a more verbose description. Hopefully this helps you and me, as well. (if only in the documentation department. :)) ] /endexecutive summary %:) Copied then updated from: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/5454/updating-to-beta-builds-of-cont… On a fresh install of MacTeX 2010, I was having issues with `mtxrun` finding fonts and with fonts in general. I decided to try to dl the betas. In an earlier question(http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/5405/switching-to-context-m… (Thanks Kahled!) I found that the ConTeXt minimals were not proper in this scenario. So I followed the advice and used this repository. After running: sudo tlmgr --repository http://tlcontrib.metatex.org/2010 update -all ...I did everything that I could think of to update the system at various stages (I'm sure not everything was neutral or helpful)... sudo texconfig rehash sudo texconfig init sudo mtxrun --generate sudo luatools --generate The last command is the issue, as it generates: MTXrun | unknown script 'base.lua' or 'mtx-base.lua' In my search on the interweb, I found that perhaps `texmfcnf.lua` needed the following: return { content = { TEXMFCACHE = '~/Library/texlive/2010/texmf-var', TEXMFHOME = '~/Library/texmf-trms', }, TEXMFCACHE = '~/Library/texlive/2010/texmf-var', } I did this to the file that I located in `/usr/local/texlive/2010/`. I later found evidence that perhaps another `texmfcnf.lua` file needed this golden block of code, but I could not find another instance of this file. So... whassup? It's a clean install if MacTeX 2010. I wonder what I'm missing. Once this is solved, I'll post another question about fonts, as I have yet to get those working with LuaTeX as the engine and `simplefonts` as the method. `mtxrun` never has anything in its list of fonts (`mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=*` or any conceivable variation) and most font choices don't register at all, or in the odd case of Palatino, result in garbage text. I have my `OSFONTS` variable set to `/Library/Fonts`. But alas, for another question. I only post it here in case the two issues are related. Thanks everyone!

(As you may be able to tell by now, I don't know what I'm doing. :) ) Running `sudo luatools --generate --verbose` had the same effect, ending with: MTXrun | resolvers: using suffix based filetype 'lua' MTXrun | resolvers: using suffix based filetype 'lua' MTXrun | resolvers: remembering file 'mtx-base.lua' MTXrun | resolvers: using suffix based filetype 'lua' MTXrun | unknown script 'base.lua' or 'mtx-base.lua' I tried `sudo mtxrun --generate` which seemed to work, but did not affect `luatools` in any way. I've tried `rehash`ing, then `mtxrun` then `luatools`. No joy. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

tables and color
by Hans Hagen 17 Nov '10

17 Nov '10

Hi, A while ago Herbert reported problems with color in \starttable and Aditya suggested to provide \VL in \starttabulate. Also, there's some experimental coloring code in tabulate. So, I decided to add better color support to tabulate as well as vertical lines (for as far as it makes sense). Below you will see how the interface works. A side effect is that \NC[color] is no longer supported: we need 4 cases instead of one. Concerning \starttable: I started merging the patches into the TaBlE code but also started wondering if we should still provide this mechanism in \MKIV. I'm considering making it a module, and then remove the color options from it as it's a kludge anyway. Using thi smechanism has no real advantages over tabulate or TABLE (apart maybe from speed). I uploaded a new beta (which then will be synced with the minimals). % my test file: \starttext % \setuptabulate[distance=none] \starttabulate[|CR{red}|CC{yellow}|CM{green}|CL{blue}|] \NC test \NC test \NC test \NC test \NC \NR \NC test \NC test \NC test \NC test \NC \NR \NC test \NC test \NC test \NC test \NC \NR \NC test \NC test \NC test \NC test \NC \NR \stoptabulate \starttabulate[|CM{red}|CM{green}|CM{blue}|] \NC test \NC test \NC test \NC \NR \NC test \NC test \NC test \NC \NR \NC test \NC test \NC test \NC \NR \NC test \NC test \NC test \NC \NR \stoptabulate \ruledvbox{\starttabulate[||||][before=,after=] \NC test \CC[red] CC \NC test \NC \NR \NC test \CL[green] CL \NC test \NC \NR \NC test \CM[blue] CM \NC test \NC \NR \NC test \CR[yellow] CR \NC test \NC \NR \stoptabulate} \starttabulate[||||] \VL test \VL[red] CC \VL test \VL \NR \VL test \VL[green] CL \VL test \VL \NR \VL test \VL[blue] CM \VL test \VL \NR \VL test \VL[yellow] CR \VL test \VL \NR \stoptabulate \starttabulate[|{10,red}|{10,green}|{10,blue}|{10,magenta}] \NC test \NC test \NC test \NC \NR \NC test \NC test \NC test \NC \NR \NC test \NC test \NC test \NC \NR \NC test \NC test \NC test \NC \NR \stoptabulate \starttabulate[|{red}|{green}|{blue}|{magenta}] \NC test \NC test \NC test \NC \NR \NC test \NC test \NC test \NC \NR \NC test \NC test \NC test \NC \NR \NC test \NC test \NC test \NC \NR \stoptabulate \starttabulate[*{4}{|{red}}] \NC test \NC test \NC test \NC \NR \NC test \NC test \NC test \NC \NR \NC test \NC test \NC test \NC \NR \NC test \NC test \NC test \NC \NR \stoptabulate % \starttabulate[||p||] % \CC[green] test \CC[red] test \CC[blue] test \NC \NR % \NC \setlocalhsize \the\localhsize test \NC test \NC test \NC \NR % \HL % \NC test \CC[green] \input tufte \CC[yellow] test \NC \NR % \RC rc \NC test \NC test \NC \NR % \NC qqqq \EQ[blue] test \NC test \NC \NR % \NC test \NC test \NC test \NC \NR % \NC test \NC test \NC test \NC \NR % \CC[blue] test \CC[red] test \NC test \NC \NR % \NC test \VL[red] test \NC test \NC \NR % \NC test \VL test \NC test \NC \NR % \NC test \VL test \NC test \NC \NR % \NC test \VL test \CC[gray] test \NC \NR % \NC test \VL test \NC test \NC \NR % \NC test \VL test \NC test \NC \NR % \CC[blue] test \NC test \NC test \NC \NR % \NC test \NC test \NC test \NC \NR % \NC test \NC test \CC[magenta] test \NC \NR % \NC test \NC test \NC test \NC \NR % \NC test \CC[cyan] \dorecurse{10}{\input ward }\NC test \NC \NR % \NC test \NC test \NC test \NC \NR % \NC test \CC[yellow] test \NC test \NC \NR % \stoptabulate \stoptext ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Problem interacting \definehead and \placecontent
by Lukas Prochazka 17 Nov '10

17 Nov '10

Hello, I need to duplicate the \subsection command. The code is: --- \definehead[SSEC][subsection] \setuphead [SSEC] [after={ --- }] \starttext \placecontent \hairline \section{A} aaa \SSEC{B} bbb \subsection{C} ccc \stoptext --- It's OK that use of \subsection and/or \SSEC command increases the subsection counter (i.e. I get 1.1 and 1.2). But there is a problem - the "1.1 B" item doesn't appear in the TOC. Why? And how to get it in there? Thank you in advance. Best regards, Lukas
