[NTG-Context] MetaPost capacity exceeded.
by Alan BRASLAU 15 Nov '12

15 Nov '12

! MetaPost capacity exceeded, sorry [expansion depth=10000]. I have come across this error previously with run-away \dorecurse loops I now have this message with a document that makes VERY heavy use of MetaPost; I just have too many figures. Is there some way to "flush" the running instance of MetaPost, that is to force MPlib to respawn or something like that? (Of course, I would then have to be careful not to rely on the reuse of any previous MP instances...) Alan

random seed
by Peter Rolf 14 Nov '12

14 Nov '12

Hi, in one of my documents I use a specific random seed to create a fixed random based graphic (size, color, position). This works fine under Windows (where I 'found' the seed value), but I get a complete different result on my Debian system. Is there a way to get identical results on different OS? Or is the random number generator OS specific? Just wondering... Peter

Managing prefixes in section references
by Jean-Philippe Rey 14 Nov '12

14 Nov '12

Hi all, I am trying to convince \in to build up a full reference (<chapter number>.<section number>) but can not work it out. Here is my minimal example : % ConTeXt 2012.11.08 MKIV \setuphead[section][sectionsegments=section] \setupreferencestructureprefix[section][number][prefixsegments=2:*] \starttext \chapter{Chapter one} \section[S1]{Section one} This is \in{section}[S1] % displays 1 instead of 1.1 \stoptext What am I doing wrong ? Thanks for your answers. -- Jean-Philippe Rey Professeur - École Centrale Paris jean-philippe.rey(a)ecp.fr 92295 Châtenay-Malabry Cedex - France

Mk IV version of wasysym?
by Pavneet Arora 14 Nov '12

14 Nov '12

I am trying to use some of the symbols from Roland Waldi's symbols collection in a project. After not getting the minimal example to work, I looked for the 'symb-was.*' file, and came across only this; /opt/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/symb-was.mkii I notice that there doesn't seem to be a .mkiv version of this set. Could this be the problem? The minimal example was simply: \usesymbols[was] \showsymbolset[wasy general] Thanks. -- ----- - Pavneet Arora Waroc Fine Audio + Custom Home Cinema www.waroc.com 416.937.WAROC (9276)

XML and Lua/Ctx
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 14 Nov '12

14 Nov '12

Hello, I've read that when Ctx is to process a XML file, the whole XML tree is loaded first and processed as wanted. I'd need to process a XML file which represents an Excel workbook saved as .xml. When working in pure Lua, I'm using Expat library (http://matthewwild.co.uk/projects/luaexpat/index.html) which allow to create a parser with callbacks (e.g. StartElement(), StopElement(), CharacterData()...). It processes the .xml file on-the-go. However, this solution cannot be used with Ctx as it causes Ctx to crash. How to access a XML file loaded and parsed from within Ctx via Lua? I attach a simple Excel XML (for those who are familiar with Excel and don't refuse using it). As an example, I'd need process the attached .xml into a simple Lua table: ---- -- return -- Lua table as a result { workbooks = { [1] = { name = "1", -- No more info is necessary so far, -- I just need to see the way how to access XML elements }, [2] = { name = "Imp", }, [3] = { name = "Exp", }, [4] = { name = "<Template>", }, } } ---- Could anyone experienced kindly present a way how to get such table from the attached Excel XML file? TIA. Best regards, Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.

Difference between * and \ast
by Aditya Mahajan 14 Nov '12

14 Nov '12

Hi, $*$ not behave the same as $\ast$ in math mode with any unicode font. (The output of \ast is correct) Minimal example: \setupbodyfont[cambria] \starttext $a*b$ $a\ast b$ \stoptext At first glance, I could not find anything wrong with char-def.lua Aditya
