It took hours (some far in the night) to solve. Finally. I am posting this message just in case someone starts delving into it. Still standing is the problem of \xmlcommand not obeying the attribute selection but generating an error: \xmlcommand{#1}{path[@attrib==whatever]}{command} Hans van der Meer On 21 mrt. 2012, at 10:29, Meer, H. van der wrote: The output was missing in my previous post.

xml manual typo
by Meer, H. van der 22 Mar '12

22 Mar '12

I am reporting a typo in the MKIV XML-manual. It can put one on the wrong track. Section 3.7 Setups: \xmlsetup{name}{node} expands setup name and pass node as argument Note that name and node in the parameters are interchanged. It should read: \xmlsetup{node}{name} expands setup name and pass node as argument Hans van der Meer

With organizing existing information we can improve the documentation of ConTeXt and help beginners and maybe also experts. Woutld be nice if everyone who gets help from this mailinglist gives a little back to ConTeXt :-) This was my motivation to engage for the documentation. You can count on me :-) Regards Jannis -- Better organization and integration of all ConTeXT-information: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Category:ConTeXt ............

xml error
by Meer, H. van der 21 Mar '12

21 Mar '12

lxml-ini.mkiv defines: \unexpanded\def\xmlregisteredsetups {\xmlstarttiming \xmlflushsetups \xmldefaulttotext\xmldocument % after include \xmlstoptiming} but \xmlflushsetups can be found here only, nowhere else in the ConTeXt base-files does a search for it match. Calling \xmlregisteredsetups results in an error: Undefined control sequence \xmlregisteredsetups ...arttiming \xmlflushsetups \xmldefaulttotext \xmldocu... What could have happened to the xml-modules? As there seem more problems with it then this one alone. Hans van der Meer

xml--verbatim in error?
by Meer, H. van der 21 Mar '12

21 Mar '12

I found something that might be an error in the current xml-processing. In the following minimal example een "Undefined control sequence" error occurs for the \xmldisplayverbatim and \xmlinlineverbatims. The \xmlverbatim doesn't. \startxmldisplayverbatim ...\doinitializeverbatim \beginofverbatimlines \startbuffer[test-1] <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <myroot> <text>buffer[test-1] contents</text> </myroot> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups load:setups \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{myroot|text}{load:*} \stopxmlsetups\xmlregistersetup{load:setups} \startxmlsetups load:myroot \writestatus{TEST}{loading myroot node = #1 = \xmlname{#1}} % \xmlverbatim{#1}{text}\par \xmldisplayverbatim{#1}{text}\par % \xmlinlineverbatim{#1}{text}\par \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups load:text \writestatus{TEST}{node = #1 = \xmlname{#1}} \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \enabletrackers[lxml.loading] \setuppapersize[S5][S5] \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{myroot}{test-1}{} \stoptext Hans van der Meer

Custom itemize Symbols
by Malte Stien 21 Mar '12

21 Mar '12

Hi all, Is there a way to define your own itemize symbols? I would like a solid square, as in symbol 8 (referring to Table 10.1 in the Context Manual, but solid/filled whereas 8 is hollow. I tried to declare my own bullet point, as in: \def\squarebullet{\vrule height .9ex width .8ex depth -.1ex } % square bullet and then tried to use it in the \startitemize command, but it appears that command does not take commands as its first argument: \startitemize[\squarebullet, packed] \item foo \item baz ... \stopitemize So here goes that idea. Other idea was to use \sym{\squarebullet}. That actually works, however, the problem is that it needs to be specified for the individual bullet point. I need something that can be specified in \setupitemize, such that my writers get that symbol automatically without having any control over it. Any ideas? Regards, Malte

howto execute loaded xml?

I made a minimal example showing that load'ed xml is not typeset. In contrast to the first <text>-node the second comes out as xml and not as typeset text. What has to be done to change that?

Request to help categorizing commands on wiki
by Mojca Miklavec 21 Mar '12

21 Mar '12

Dear ConTeXters, Jan Heinen did some heaving wiki editing in order to achieve better categorization of different topics on the wiki. One particular part where your help would be welcome is a big number of different commands listed here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Category:Commands It would be great to assign one or more categories to each command. Sure, many commands are (still) missing, but once commands are categorized, it will be a lot easier to concentrate on - say - describing just interaction/color/font commands at once, and also to keep adding missing commands. The list of all commands together will be assembled later (once commands are categorized). All uncategorized commands are on top category Commands. Please replace that one with [[Category:Command/Some Category|commandname]] (or more than that) and in case that you need to create a new category, please add at least [[Category:Commands|Some Category]] to that Category page. Thanks a lot for help, Mojca PS: Text to the right of "|" in Category:*| is used for sorting (else all commands would end up under "C" for "Command/Whatevercommand").

PDF Digital Signatures
by Andreas Schneider 20 Mar '12

20 Mar '12

Hello, since ConTeXt supports form fields in PDFs, I wonder whether the fields for digital signatures are available as well. If not, please consider this a feature request/wish :-) I received an internal document some time ago that represented a form and was separated into three parts. Part one was to be filled out by the employee (in this case: me). Under this part was a signature field I could click which made Adobe Reader prompt for a digital certificate. After I selected that, information about this certificate appeared inside that form field I just clicked. The other form fields were automatically locked afterwards. If I wanted to change them, I would have to remove my signature. Parts two and three were similar, but meant for management. They needed to sign my request which in turn locked their edit fields. So in other words: I would like to create such forms with ConTeXt :-) I hate these work flows where people are told to "print out form x, sign it and send the scanned copy via email" instead of just signing it digitally. It would also come in handy for technical and business documents that need to be signed by the customer (for example an Interface Document, System Design, Use Case, whatever). I hope that is not completely out of scope for ConTeXt and not too hard to implement. Otherwise I guess I won't see that feature for a long time. Thanks anyway; at least for reading this :-) -- Best Regards, Andreas

Hi, how can I define the length of footnote's rule and the distance below it? "rulecommand" doesn't seem to take these values (see below).
