Inserting non-standard TeX macro parameters to Lua variables
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 20 Aug '10

20 Aug '10

Hello all, I'm looking for a way to insert any character (CSV separator) into a variable. Manually insert a double (or single) quote is not a problem, but how to use the universal way to not have to change the macro definitions? Is there another possibility to insert a macro parameter into a Lua variable than the use double or single quote? Any "universal" alternative is unfortunately impossible: For example: \def\setseparatorC#1{\directlua{Sep=#1 }} ??? Thanx Jaroslav Here is my minimal example: \def\setseparatorA#1{\directlua{Sep="#1"}} \def\setseparatorB#1{\directlua{Sep='#1'}} \starttext \setseparatorA{'} % OK \directlua{tex.sprint(Sep)} \setseparatorB{"} % OK \directlua{tex.sprint(Sep)} % BUT \setseparatorA{"} % Error \setseparatorB{'} % Error \stoptext

With cmd.exe call C:\luatex\minimals-beta\context\tex\setuptex.bat C:\luatex\minimals-beta\context\tex does it's job correctly. I would like to know the same for Windows PowerShell: . C:\luatex\minimals-beta\context\tex\setuptex.bat C:\luatex\minimals-beta\context\tex & C:\luatex\minimals-beta\context\tex\setuptex.bat C:\luatex\minimals-beta\context\tex don't work and call doesn't exist in PowerShell. -- luigi

\startinterface and module documentation
by Wolfgang Schuster 19 Aug '10

19 Aug '10

Hi Hans, there is a clash between \startinterface from mult-ini to set constants and variables and module documentation. The file s-mod-02.tex defines a paragraphe environment with the same name and as a result of this it's not possible to use a module in it's docu for examples. Run this example with 'context --ctx=s-mod foo.tex' to reproduce it: <foo.tex> %M \usemodule[foo] \unprotect \startinterface all \setinterfacevariable {foo} {foo} \stopinterface \v!foo % should give 'foo' but '\v!foo' is undefined \protect \endinput </foo.tex> Wolfgang

new beta
by Thomas A. Schmitz 19 Aug '10

19 Aug '10

Hi all, I just ran the latest beta and saw a new way of indicating errors, indicating and quoting line numbers. Is this all new and improved? I hadn't seen this before. Maybe I'm making a complete ass of myself, but I just wanted to mention that this looks incredibly helpful and informative. Kudos! All best Thomas

Error in minimals beta
by Andreas Schneider 19 Aug '10

Hi, I sent this mail before, but it seems to have been lost on it's way to the mailing list ... (I hope so, otherwise this might be a double post). When I compile my current project, luatex fails with the following error: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ! LuaTeX error <main ctx instance>:1: attempt to index global 'structure' (a nil value) stack traceback: <main ctx instance>:1: in main chunk. system > error on line 47 in file Diplomarbeit.tex: LuaTeX error ... 37 \stopproject 38 39 \stoptext <argument> ...rs.record("userpage", 1).last - 1) } {}{}{} \firstoftwoarguments #1#2->#1 <argument> ...rd("userpage", 1).last - 1) }{}{}{}} \fi \secondoftwoarguments #1#2->#2 \dosingletexts ...ts {\??tk #1#2#5}{#6{}{}{}}\fi } \dostopattributes \fi \egr... \thelayouttextline ...xtline \v!text #3\endcsname \ifcase #5\or \@@nmpos \th... ... l.47 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seems like it's not directly related to my file (which worked fine in an older version). In case it matters: I'm on Linux x86 currently. Hoping for a fix, Andreas.

Hi, Maybe someone has an idea how to insert sharp (#) and flat (b) signs in the chord names? Example: F#m7b5 Currently I use F\#m7b5 sequence, but # and b symbols look unnatural, I want real ones. I use Minion Pro and standard Windows fonts. Regards, Vyatcheslav

polish sorting
by Philipp Gesang 19 Aug '10

19 Aug '10

Hi, I'm creating some sorting tables. While researching this topic I stumbled on the Polish dictionary sorting rules: if two strings are equal except for case then the one gets precedence that begins lowercase.[1] (This seems to apply to the Swedish order as well but I have no means to verify that. Apparently, my German dictionary (from 1991) follows the same rule without explicitly stating so.) Context seems to prefer it the other way round, so I modified two functions from sort-ini.lua to handle that; but I'm not happy with this solution. So my question: is there already, or could we have some mechanism to influence the details of sorting in context? Thanks for your help, Philipp [1] <ftp://ftp.gust.org.pl/pub/GUST/bulletin/03/02-bl.pdf>, p. 7. -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments
