Scite Lexers
by John Kitzmiller 31 Dec '11

31 Dec '11

This may not belong here but perhaps someone would be willing to confer with me off-list? After Scite re-install with new MkIV instructions I can not find where to change background color. (I was able to change it before under ebswift installation although syntax highlighting for *tex did not work--such a deal!) The only lead I have so far is, commenting out "import lexers/lpeg" in SciteGlobal.properties takes away all highlighting for all languages. I know there is a warning about lexer interaction from November 2011, but I have not had any other problems (except Purge All does not work) with Scite 3.02, lpeg lexers 3.02-1, and ConTeXt ver: 2011.12.20 22:24 MKIV. Thanks, John

searching xml node tree
by Meer, H. van der 31 Dec '11

31 Dec '11

In the processing of xml data path expressions like a/(b|c)/*/d etc. can be used. However, I have a node that can be present inside every node of the tree. One method to collect these all together is bij successive calls: \xmlall{#1}{/node}, \xmlall{#1}{/*/node}, \xmlall{#1}{/*/*/node}, etc. But that fails if the tree is deeper than foreseen. I tried recursive searching within the node-setup-processor by calling \xmlall{#1}{../*/node} but either this fails or I am not doing it the right way. Any ideas? Hans van der Meer

Re: [NTG-context] how to handle the fonts whose name contains a blank space?
by dalyoung 30 Dec '11

30 Dec '11

Dear Wolfgang, > > Remove the space: > > \definefont[test][file:kopubbatangprolight*default] > \definefont[test][file:KoPubBatang_ProMedium*default] It didn't work at the first try, and I realized that I didn't reformat ConTeXt after installing this new fonts. After reformatting, ConTeXt found the fonts and worked fine. Thank you and Happy New Year! Best regards, Dalyoung

Nightly Ubuntu ConTeXt / LuaTeX Packages
by Kip Warner 30 Dec '11

30 Dec '11

Hey list, It might be useful to put on the wiki a link to Adam Reviczky's PPA (personal package archive) which contains precompiled Ubuntu packages for ConTeXt and LuaTeX nightlies. I've been using them for several months now. He was very generous to prepare them. ConTeXt: https://launchpad.net/~reviczky/+archive/context-daily LuaTeX: https://launchpad.net/~reviczky/+archive/luatex-daily You'll probably get more people able to test the latest revisions with a link on the wiki. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

Broken Nightly Chokes on \rotate
by Kip Warner 30 Dec '11

30 Dec '11

Hey folks, The nightly for Dec 29th seems to choke on \rotate. I have a statement: \midaligned{\rotate[rotation=42]{\color[red] \bft THIS IS A DRAFT!}} ConTeXt emits the following: ! Undefined control sequence. \dodorotatenextbox ... \@@rorotation \@@layerxpos \zeropoint \@@layerypos \z... \dorotatenextbox ...rotatenextbox \@@rorotation #2 \fi \boxcursor \flushnextb... \boxes_with_next_box ...x \@@rorotation \!!counta \egroup l.22 ...THIS IS A DRAFT!} } ? I'm fairly sure it isn't the \midaligned because I have other statements it compiles fine. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

skipping in xml
by Hans van der Meer 30 Dec '11

30 Dec '11

The following code does not seem to work i xmlsetups. Its goal is to let part of the input disappear. \startxmlsetups pqr:initial \def\hidestart#1\hidestop{} \hidestart abc\hidestop % << not working \stopxmlsetups Why is the argument not eaten until the \hidestop, but only one letter (the a) consumed. See the error message: Use of \hidestart doesn't match its definition. \@@su:xam:initial ...1\hidestop {}\fi \hidestart a bc\hidestop Hans van der Meer

Is there a replacement for \tracechinesetrue in mkiv?
by Zhichu Chen 30 Dec '11

30 Dec '11

Hi, I wrote some CJK vertical typesetting macros in mkii a long time ago and I want to adopt it to mkiv. Sadly the \iftracechinese is gone. Can I still draw boxes of each glyph to see if they are aligned in my way? Drawing a line in the background is so not cool. -- Best Regards Chen

bug with --purgeall?
by Pablo Rodríguez 30 Dec '11

30 Dec '11

Hi there, yesterday I ran the following command: context --purgeall --environment=mysecondstyle.tex --mode=myexample.xml I know that the source file is missing (I discovered it later). This is not my issue. The problem is that the --purgeall option caused context to erase all .log files contained in that directory. Instead of asking for a source file name, it deleted all .log files. I'm afraid this is a bug, at least it shouldn't erase files that context didn't generate. Thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
