t-vim module quoting problem on OS X
by Riobard 23 May '10

23 May '10

Hi, t-vim.tex has a very strange quoting issue when it tries to invoke vim. Here is the piece of code that causes problem: ---------------------- \def\runvimsyntax#1 {\executesystemcommand {mtxrun --verbose --noquote bin:vim "-u NONE % No need to read unnessary configurations -e % run in ex mode -C % Set compatibile -n % No swap % -V10log % For debugging only, will go away later. -c \shellescapedquote set tabstop=\@@vstab \shellescapedquote\space -c \shellescapedquote syntax on\shellescapedquote\space -c \shellescapedquote set syntax=\@@vssyntax\shellescapedquote\space -c \shellescapedquote let contextstartline=\@@vsstart\shellescapedquote\space -c \shellescapedquote let contextstopline=\@@vsstop\shellescapedquote \space -c \shellescapedquote source kpse:2context.vim\shellescapedquote\space -c \shellescapedquote wqa\shellescapedquote\space \shellescapedquote#1\shellescapedquote\space " }} ------------------------- On OS X (10.6) Vim complains: VIM - Vi IMproved 7.2 (2008 Aug 9, compiled Feb 10 2010 21:54:21) Garbage after option argument: "-u NONE -e -C -n -c "set tabstop=8" -c "syntax on" -c "set syntax=scala" -c "let contextstartline=1" -c "let contextstopline=0" -c "source /Users/rio/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/third/vim/2context.vim" -c "wqa" "usecase-vimsyntax.tmp" " More info with: "vim -h" I searched the mailing list and found an old thread where Mojca talked about the rare strange quoting behavior. So I changed the above code to -------------------------- \def\runvimsyntax#1 {\executesystemcommand {mtxrun --verbose --noquote bin:vim -u NONE % No need to read unnessary configurations -e % run in ex mode -C % Set compatibile -n % No swap % -V10log % For debugging only, will go away later. -c "set tabstop=\@@vstab" -c "syntax on" -c "set syntax=\@@vssyntax" -c "let contextstartline=\@@vsstart" -c "let contextstopline=\@@vsstop" -c "source kpse:2context.vim" -c "wqa" "#1"}} ----------------------------- and it works on OS X. Not sure if it will work on other platforms. Can someone try it out on Windows and Linux please? What's the proper way to do quoting in a crossplatform manner in ConTeXt? - Rio

Patterns in natural tables as background?
by Xan 23 May '10

23 May '10

Hi, Is possible to put patterns as background in natural tables (bTABLE... eTABLE)? I'm thinking in striped background, or squared background or something more "complicated" as: http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs7/i/2005/249/c/c/Scanline___screentone_pattern… The problem I see is that we need some transparency if we want to put text as foreground and not sacrify the legibility of the text. Thanks a lot, Xan. PS: Please, CCme.

"\setuplabeltext [appendix=Appendix ]" broken mkiv
by Alan BRASLAU 23 May '10

23 May '10

1. Setting the labeltext "appendix=Appendix " with \startappendices is broken in mkiv; somewhat works in mkii. What am I doing wrong? 2. How to set the label correctly in the TOC? Alan Minimal example \setuplabeltext [chapter=Chapter ] % with trailing space; blank by default \setuplabeltext [appendix=Appendix ] % with trailing space; blank by default \setuphead [chapter] [placehead=yes] \setuplist [chapter] [label=yes,width=5em,alternative=c] \starttext \startfrontmatter \completecontent \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \chapter {one} \input knuth \stopbodymatter \startappendices \chapter {first} \input knuth \stopappendices \stoptext

fullpage still not preset in minimals
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 22 May '10

22 May '10

Hi, Long time ago I asked about including fullpage module into the standard ConTeXt distribution. I thought that the answer was positive, but this module still not present in either beta nor current minimal distribution. I think it should be a part of standard package because it makes setting up page layout 10 times easier. Vyatcheslav

Hi Wolfgang, > \startmakeup is the internal command for \startstandardmakeup which is > created with \definemakup[standard]. Thank you for making this more clear. 1) \startstandardmakeup is extensively used but not found in the wiki command reference. Why? 2) What \startstandardmakeup do then? And what is the purpose of defining custom makeups? Hope this help me an other ConTeXt users ;) -- Best Regards, Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky

Hi. Please, could you check mtx-update.lua, line 376. I'm found it suspicious that the line command = string.format("%s -tgo --chmod=a+x %s/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/%s.lua %s/texmf-%s/bin/%s", bin, texroot, script, texroot, platform, script) don't contain contextgarden source ('url' variable, 'bin' contains 'rsync' program). mtx-update.lua time stamp: 2010-05-19 --- WBR, Vladimir Lomov
