New module: simplesteps.
by Andre Caldas 15 Dec '12

15 Dec '12

Well.... since Raw Steps did not work with mkiv, I tried making a very very simple module for a "beamer-like" behaviour. I don't really know how to write a module... but here is what I did: https://bitbucket.org/andrecaldas/math-video-classes/src/9116599821fc246cb5… I use \startbuffer and \stopbuffer, and also Lua. As I said, I don't really know how to write a module... comments are very welcome. Is it ok if I send a PDF sample to the list? Cheers, André Caldas.

Regular expressions in Lua.
by Andre Caldas 15 Dec '12

Hi! I have to use pattern matching in lua. I tried the function "string.gmatch". I want to match (iterate over) strings of the type ([0-9]+)(-([0-9]*))?(,|$) For example: 1,3- (iterations: 1 and 3-) 1-3,6,7 (iterations: 1-3 then 6 then 7) 1-2,5-6,10- (iterations 1-2 then 5-6 then 10-) André Caldas.

Loading lua file.
by Andre Caldas 14 Dec '12

If I load a lua file from a module using \registerctxluafile{file}{1.001} or \ctxloadluafile{file} How can I be sure the file was in fact loaded? Can I make ConTeXt halt and issue an error in this case? Cheers, André Caldas.

[***SPAM***] Spacing and font problem with \chemical inside display math
by Romain Diss 13 Dec '12

13 Dec '12

Hi all, I found what I suppose to be a bug with the \chemical command: - when one use \chemical inside display math, the spacing is wrong around the \chemical stuff. The font change inside \chemical also persists outside the command. - if one enclose the \chemical command into curly braces, the font problem do not appear but the spaces are still wrong. - if one put the \chemical command inside a \text{} command, ConTeXt stops with an error. These problems do not occur in inline math. Here is a minimal example: %% START \starttext Chemical within inline math: \m{M(\chemical{CO_2})} or \m{M(\text{\chemical{CO_2}})}. This works fine. Chemical in display math: \startformula M(\chemical{CO_2}) \stopformula gives some strange spacing and seems to modify the font outside \tex{chemical}. Chemical in display math: \startformula M({\chemical{CO_2}}) \stopformula corrects the font problem but still gives some strange spacing. %Chemical inside \text in display math: \startformula %M(\text{\chemical{CO_2}}) \stopformula gives an error. \stoptext %% END Anyone has an idea to solve this? Thanks in advance. -- Romain Diss <romain.diss(a)yahoo.fr>

Raw Steps.
by Andre Caldas 12 Dec '12

12 Dec '12

Is there any working alternative to Raw Steps? I need an alternative without JavaScript because the slides PDF will become JPG and then OGV/MPG/MP8... The idea is to record a lecture on video and then play it back with the slides alongside. https://bitbucket.org/andrecaldas/math-video-classes Cheers, André Caldas.
