Pretty-printing ConTeXt sources
by Marcin Borkowski 04 Nov '12

04 Nov '12

Hi all, I asked the very same question some time ago, but back then got an MkII (texexec-based) answer. So: how do I typeset ConTeXt MkIV sources? Is the procedure different for .tex, .mkiv, .mkvi, .lua files? Best, -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Adam Mickiewicz University

Hello, I encountered a weird error. The following code prints correctly to the console: ---- \starttext \startluacode print("\n@T") \stopluacode Abc \stoptext ---- Gives correct: " ... fonts > virtual math > unable to resolve name mapsfromchar fonts > fallback modern rm 12pt is loaded @T backend > xmp > using file 'c:/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/lpdf-pdx.xml' ... " But the following code fails (?!): ---- \starttext \startluacode print("\nT") \stopluacode Abc \stoptext ---- With: " ... fonts > fallback modern rm 12pt is loaded ! Undefined control sequence. system > tex > error on line 4 in file D:/Lukas/ConTeXt/Test/Env3/Test.mkiv: Undefined control sequence ... 1 \starttext 2 \startluacode 3 print("\nT") 4 >> \stopluacode 5 6 Abc 7 \stoptext 8 print("\nT ") \luat_start_lua_code_indeed ...tlua \zerocount {#1 }} l.4 \stopluacode ... " Any explanation? TIA. Best regards, Lukas

simpleslides broken?
by Ondřej Hošek 02 Nov '12

02 Nov '12

Hello, I'm having troubles with the simpleslides module; for example, my favorite style, Swoosh, turned from dark-blue-on-light-blue to white-on-black and the swoosh position seems to have changed. Minimal testcase: \usemodule[simpleslides][style=Swoosh] \starttext \SlideTitle{Test Slide} Some content. \stoptext Output: http://ondrahosek.dyndns.org/simpleslides-brokenswoosh.pdf What went wrong? Cheers, ~~ Ondra

\startchapter[title = First] didn't show the title.
by Jeong Dal 02 Nov '12

02 Nov '12

Hi all, Here is one more question. \starttext \startchapter[title = First] bla bla bla \stopchapter \stoptext In this sample, the title "First" isn't show up. After removing spaces before and after "=" sign, it showed up. It is not a big problem though, but, is it intended? It still remains after the updating. Thanks for reading Best regards, Dalyoung

New module: crossref
by Zenlima 01 Nov '12

01 Nov '12

Hi, after the feedback for my first module (pararef) and regarding my next upcoming module I decided to put crossref into its own module, so that it can be used by other modules or without any other module. http://modules.contextgarden.net/crossref Unluckily I forgot to fill out the filename field at the very beginning. As I cannot change the filename anymore, I ask a modules-db admin to change it from -0.9.zip to t-crossref-0.9.zip - thanks! :-S http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Cross_Referencing @Sieste and Wolfgang I removed move my wrong spelling of bra[c]kets and replaced it by left and right as Wolfgang suggested. @Lukas I added your czech alternative. @Philipp

scripts
by Hans Hagen 01 Nov '12

01 Nov '12

Hi, I wasted a whole afternoon figuring out why a job that runs ok on many opensuse machines fails on a machine that runs a debian alpha distribution (customer demand). I already had to fix all kind of startup scripts due to the fact that sh(ell scripts) are run with dash which is incompatible so maybe I should have be more suspicious towards the os instead of trying to fix the tex end. Anyhow, one thing I noticed is that setuptex doesn't seem to work ok i.e. there is something wrong with determining $OWNPATH which makes the initialization fail. Maybe some volunteer can figure that out (there are some catches for other shells in the script too so adding yet another doesn't hurt). But, the biggest surprise (if I got it right) is that in some of the scripts that I use and run from within context, the to be produced results sometimes were there and sometimes not. This got obscured by the fact that in a second run the content actually was there (it has to be fetched from a remote database) but that code like "page \pagenumber\ of \lastpage" failed to report the right last page which in fact was a side effect of the first run not using content. Okay, it got somewhat more obscured by the fact that I used --runs=2 Accidentally, by adding more tracing code, I figured out is that I pipe the messages to a log file using &> which is pretty valid in bash but not so in dash where the & puts the job in the background and thereby let the tex run carry on without waiting. So, it looks like we need to use >filename 2>&1 instead of &>filename. I checked the scripts in the context tree and so far found no occurences but first-setup.sh has two &>'s in it that might need fixing.
