Escaping from modes set for "tabulate"
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 14 Jan '11

14 Jan '11

Hello, is it possible to escape from modes (fonts) defined in \starttabulate[...]? I mean just for header - to escape the math mode and to switch to normal font temporarily: --- \starttext I get: \starttabulate[|lT|mc|p|] \NC Code \NC Symbol \NC Description \NC\NR \HL \NC Gamma \NC \gamma \NC Self weight \NC\NR \stoptabulate And I'd rather get: \starttabulate[|l|c|p|] \NC Code \NC Symbol \NC Description \NC\NR \HL \NC \tt Gamma \NC $\gamma$ \NC Self weight \NC\NR \stoptabulate But simply -- I'm looking for something like (code bellow causes errors): \starttabulate[|lT|mc|p|] \NC {\normalfont Code} \NC {\nomath Symbol} \NC Description \NC\NR \HL \NC Gamma \NC \gamma \NC Self weight \NC\NR \stoptabulate \stoptext --- Kind regards, Lukas -- Ing.

Bad interaction between new interpretation of underscore and modules
by Mathieu Boespflug 14 Jan '11

14 Jan '11

Hi all, today's beta introduced a really strange problem. Consider two source files: definitions.tex: \startmodule[definitions] \def\lambdax{\lambda_x} \stopmodule[definitions] main.tex: \usemodule[definitions] \starttext blah $\lambdax$ blah. \stoptext This results in the following compile error: ! Undefined control sequence. \lambdax ->\lambda_x l.5 blah $\lambdax $ blah. ? However, if you change "\usemodule[definitions]" into "\input definitions" instead, then there is no compile error! My understanding is that the underscore is a valid character for macro names now outside of math mode, which is what is causing the problem. But I really don't understand what magic is going on in the modules code to trigger this. I would be very interested in an explanation of what is going on. Many thanks, Mathieu

help with citation please (mkiv)
by Steffen Wolfrum 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

Hi friends, I am a bit confused with the use of citation/bibliographies in MkIV. Maybe someone can help me? Say, I have a bib-file containing entries like ... @BOOK{mb:Wassermann1990, title = {Alternativkommentar zum Strafgesetzbuch}, year = {1990 (Bd. 1), 1986 (Bd. 3)}, editor = {Wassermann, Rudolph}, % address = {Neuwied}, howcited = {\emph{Bearbeiter}, in: Wassermann, AK-StGB}, juratitle = {AK-StGB}, owner = {mascha}, timestamp = {2006.10.02} } In the typeset document I need an entry like this: \emph{Amelung} in Wassermann, Alternativkommentar zum Strafgesetzbuch, §\,94, Rn. 4. In a Latex document I saw the usage like this: \cite[Amelung][§\,94, Rn. 4]{mb:Wassermann1990} Who do I do it in ConTeXt MkIV?? Any help very welcome!! Thank you, Steffen

Finalizing a module
by Willi Egger 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

Hi, I would like to finalize my module... I still got a couple of questions: 1. How is the module documentation compiled? 2. How is a module packaged for uploading? 3. Where is it in the meantime to be uploaded? Contextgarden or TLcontrib? Kind regards Willi

Skew not working in latest beta
by Mathieu Boespflug 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

Hi all, consider the following short document \starttext hello $\hat x \hat A$. \stoptext In the latest beta, and in a December beta as well, the hat above the capital A is misplaced. IIRC the placement used to be correct, back in november. Any ideas as to a workaround in the meantime ? Mathieu

Problem typing file with diacritics by \typefile
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

Hello, I have problem. Suppose having t-TypeF.ctx which is to print itself: --- \enableregime[cp1250] \starttext ABC ŽŠČ \typefile[]{t-TypeF.ctx} \stoptext --- The letters "ŽŠČ" to be printed during \typefile are the problem. I get a long error message, where the key message is: l.9 \typefile[]{t-TypeF.ctx} ! String contains an invalid utf-8 sequence. system > error on line 73 in file t-TypeF.ctx: String contains an invalid utf-8 sequence ... l.73 ´┐Ż The file is created with CP 1250 = Windows, Eastern Europe, Czech Republic. So how do I make ctx accept also Czech letters with diacritics like "ŽŠČ"? - I also looked to wiki to \setuptyping, but it doesn't seem to there would be a command which could change this.

mptopdf (broken again)
by Mojca Miklavec 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

Hans & Taco, A tiny request: is there any chance to make the mptopdf script point to "--script mptopdf" instead of "--script base"? And note for Taco: I have no idea how it got there (I think that I use TLContrib), but my TL installation (/usr/texbin/mptopdf) contains: eval '(exit $?0)' && eval 'exec perl -S $0 ${1+"$@"}' && eval 'exec perl -S $0 $argv:q' if 0; # MikTeX users can set environment variable TEXSYSTEM to "miktex". #D \module #D [ file=mptopdf.pl, ... #D copyright={PRAGMA ADE / Hans Hagen \& Ton Otten}] #C #C This module is part of the \CONTEXT\ macro||package and is #C therefore copyrighted by \PRAGMA. See licen-en.pdf for #C details. # use File::Copy ; # not in every perl use Config ; use Getopt::Long ; use strict ; use File::Basename ; And when I try to use it I get: > mptopdf a.mp -bash: /usr/texbin/mptopdf: Permission denied Thanks a lot, Mojca

Re: [NTG-context] How to invoke Unicode symbols?
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 12 Jan '11

12 Jan '11

Hi! I'm back again with my question. I really want to get Unicode 'Quarter Note' symbol, either from standard or custom font. The following example does not work, while the font (Symbola) is found. I probably did not define something, but I don't know what. \starttext \startfont[file:Symbola602 sa 2] \fontchar{notequarter} \fontchar{musicalnote} \fontchar{musicalnotedbl} \fontchar{sixteenthnotedbl} \stopfont \stoptext ! LuaTeX error ...tminimal/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cldf-com.lua:58: attempt to call global 'format' (a nil value) stack traceback: ...tminimal/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cldf-com.lua:58: in function 'char' ...tminimal/texmf-context/tex/context/base/font-ctx.lua:830: in function 'char' <main ctx instance>:1: in main chunk. \fontchar #1->\ctxlua {fonts.char("#1")} l.4 \fontchar{notequarter} ? Please, help me. Regards, Vyatcheslav
