Russian sentence in Czech text in Mark II in ConTeXt Suite installation on Linux in UTF8
by Michal Kvasnička 24 Sep '12

24 Sep '12

Hallo. I have to typeset one Russian sentence (cyrillic) in a Czech document in ConTeXt Mark II (texexec) in ConTeXt Suite (minimal installation) on Linux. I use UTF8 encoding. Is there any simple way to do it? I'm willing to accept any font to avoid font difficulties. Can you help me please? Many thanks. Best wishes, Michal

need help with macro
by Philipp Gesang 23 Sep '12

23 Sep '12

Hi all, I have a macro “mogrify” that eats three tokens of a string and treats them differently from the rest of the string. I can’t however use it inside more complex macros. Is there a way out or an alternative using macros? (No Lua.) Other formatting macros work fine in the same place. Any help will be greatly appreciated Philipp ············· Example Code ············································ % macros=mkvi \unprotect \def\mogrify#content{% \begingroup \let\stopper\relax \def\get_first_three##1##2##3##4\stopper{% \def\first_three{##1##2##3}% \def\rest{##4}% }% \get_first_three#content\stopper% \colored[red]{\first_three}% \colored[green]{\rest}% \endgraf \endgroup% } \installnamespace {ww} \installcommandhandler \????ww {ww} \????ww \appendtoks \setuevalue{\currentww}{\wont_work[\currentww]} \to \everydefineww \unexpanded\def\wont_work[#id]{% \edef\current_wont_work{#id}% \dosingleempty\wont_work_indeed% } \def\wont_work_indeed[#setups]#content{% \iffirstargument\setupcurrentww[#setups]\fi %% here is the problem: \doifsomething{\wwparameter{param}}{\mogrify{\wwparameter{param}}}% \endgraf \framed{#content}% } \defineww[wontwork] \protect \starttext \mogrify{foobar}\par%% the macro does work in isolation \wontwork[param=whatever]{will it work?} \wontwork[param=] {this, however, does work} \stoptext ······································································· -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments

TeXlive 2012 and letter module
by Martin 'golodhrim' Scholz 22 Sep '12

22 Sep '12

Hi followers of ConTeXt, does something in the lettermodule in the texlive version and the minimal version of ConTeXt has changed, as both no longer recognize the \useletterextension[addrentry,label] \useaddressfile[addrfile] lines and complain about an unknown command, if yes, what would be the way to fix this, or is this functionallity finally droped? Greetings Martin 'golodhrim' Scholz

CP 1250 & component
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 21 Sep '12

21 Sep '12

Hello, I have problem using CP 1250 and component/environment. Suppose having a simple example: ---- t-M.mkiv - File of macro definitions %\enableregime[cp1250] \def\ccc{č} % A Czech letter with diacritics ---- ---- t-Env.mkiv - Environment file - just load macros %\enableregime[cp1250] \input t-M.mkiv \startenvironment * \stopenvironment ---- ---- t-Comp.mkiv - Component - this file is to be compiled %\enableregime[cp1250] \environment t-Env.mkiv \startcomponent * Comp \stopcomponent ---- I tried to place "\enableregime[cp1250]" statement to all places where it is marked as comment now, but no position was accepted by ConTeXt - I was always getting: " ConTeXt ver: 2012.08.02 10:55 MKIV fmt: 2012.8.3 int: english/english ... regimes > loading > vector 'cp1250' is loaded (t-Env.mkiv (t-M.mkiv ! String contains an invalid utf-8 sequence. system > tex > error on line 3 in file t-M.mkiv: String contains an invalid utf-8 sequence ... 1 %\enableregime[cp1250] 2 3 >> \def\ccc{Ŕ} 4 l.3 \def\ccc{ Ŕ} ) Runaway definition? ->´┐Ż" ... " Note that the following code works OK: ---- t-Comp(alt).mkiv - Component with successful compilation \enableregime[cp1250] \input t-M.mkiv % The "problematic" file is loaded here \startcomponent * Comp \stopcomponent ---- So is there a way how to involve the macro file "t-M.mkiv" (CP 1250, Czech) into the environment file "t-Env.mkiv"?

combinedlist: different behaviour in mkiv
by Stefan Rothe 21 Sep '12

21 Sep '12

Hi I have defined a two-level head structure with independent numbering. It works as intended with mkii, but with mkiv, the top-level number is prepended to all second-level heads in the table of contents. With mkii, I get: Part A First 1 One 2 Two ... with mkiv: Part A First A.1 One A.2 Two ... How can I fix this? Kind regards Stefan % Top level head \definehead [AgendaPart] [section] \setuphead [AgendaPart] [ownnumber=yes, number=yes, numbercommand={Part }, style=\bf\tfb] \newcounter\AgendaPartNumber \define [1] \agendapart { \doglobal\increment\AgendaPartNumber \AgendaPart{\Character{\AgendaPartNumber}}{#1} } % Second level head, idependently numbered \definehead [AgendaItem] [subsubsection] \setuphead [AgendaItem] [ownnumber=yes, number=yes, style=\bf] \newcounter\AgendaItemNumber \define [1] \agendaitem { \doglobal\increment\AgendaItemNumber \AgendaItem{\AgendaItemNumber}{#1} } \definelist [AgendaPart] \setuplist [AgendaPart] [width=1.5cm, style=bold, numbercommand={Part }] \definelist [AgendaItem] \setuplist [AgendaItem] [width=1.5cm, ownnumber=yes] \definecombinedlist [toc] [AgendaPart, AgendaItem] \setupcombinedlist [toc] [pagenumber=no] % Test \starttext \placetoc \agendapart{First} \agendaitem{One} \agendaitem{Two} \agendapart{Second} \agendaitem{Three} \agendaitem{Four} \stoptext

Long table centered on every page
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 20 Sep '12

20 Sep '12

Hello how to center a table over several pages? Suppose the following code: ---- \def\TAB{% \bTABLE[split=repeat] \bTABLEhead \bTR \bTH head1 \eTH \eTR \eTABLEhead % \bTABLEbody \dorecurse{40}{% \bTR \bTD body \eTD \eTR } \eTABLEbody \eTABLE } \starttext Table 1: \midaligned{\TAB} \page Table 2: \startalignment[middle] %\dontleavehmode% \TAB \stopalignment \stoptext ---- Table 1 is centered in the page, however both parts of the table are placed next to each other (unwanted). If I use \startalignment instead \midaligned (table 2), the table is not centered on the page (also unwanted), even if I uncomment the \dontleavehmode. So - how to center a long table on every page it is printed on? TIA. Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.

tolerance and whitespace settings inside a TEXpage
by Marco Patzer 20 Sep '12

20 Sep '12

Hi, inside a TEXpage the tolerance and the whitespace settings are not applied. The whitespace can be set in a setup and the tolerance can be set directly with \spaceskip, but that seems a bit hackish. Is that intended and is there a cleaner solution? Example: \setuplayout [width=8cm] \setupbodyfont [mono] \startsetups [myset] \setupwhitespace [big] \setuptolerance [space] \stopsetups \setups{myset} \starttext \startTEXpage [setups=myset] %% \spaceskip .5em plus .25em minus .25em \input knuth \stopTEXpage \input knuth \stoptext Marco

contents empty?
by Matthew Claus 19 Sep '12

19 Sep '12

Hi everyone, Using the 2012.09.16 minimals, \starttext \completecontent \chapter{Chapter One} \completecontent \stoptext renders the first table of contents as expected but the second is empty. Should this work? I'm trying to place the contents as the final element of the frontmatter in a more complex document. Thank you - Matt
