Using typescripts in Texlive 2013
by john Culleton 21 Oct '13

21 Oct '13

I have written a program that generates for each typescript in texlive 2013 a test file like this: ------------------------------------------ \usetypescriptfile[type-imp-charter][all] \setupbodyfont[imp-charter,18pt] \starttext \rm Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow, 1234567890 \rm Roman \bf Bold \bi Bold Italic \it Italic \sc Small Caps \crlf \crlf \stoptext ----------------------------------------- Most of these test files can't find the fonts and use the fallback fonts instead. Only the following actually use the expected font: junicode gentium latinmodern droid termesmath-regular Here is an extract from imp-charter.log: ------------------------------------------------------------ fonts > bodyfont '18pt' is defined (can better be done global) fonts > bodyfont '21.6pt' is defined (can better be done global) fonts > typescripts > unknown library 'loc' (/usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/type-imp-charter.mkiv) (/usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/type-imp-charter.mkiv) fonts > preloading latin modern fonts (third stage) {/usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/fonts/map/dvips/lm/lm-math.map}{/usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/fonts/map/dvips/lm/lm-rm.map}{/usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/fonts/map/pdftex/context/mkiv-base.map} fonts > 'fallback modern rm 18pt' is loaded ---------------------------------------------------------------- Also, what causes the reference to an unknown library called "loc"? -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

Setting structureuservariable
by Felix Ingram 21 Oct '13

21 Oct '13

Hello all, I've discovered the magic of structureuservariabl and have therefore converted all my headings to use the start/stop syntax. It's raised a few quick questions though: 1. Is \startchapter \stopchapter etc the "proper way" to do things from now on? Or is it really just up to the user? 2. Is there a way to provide a default value for a structureuservariable? I'd like to set a reference number based on a global counter if the user doesn't supply their own. 3. In a similar vein - is it possible to define a reference for a section if the user doesn't provide one. E.g. if they provide \startchapter[title=My Example Chapter] instead of: \startchapter[chap:examplechapter][title=My Example Chapter] can I set the reference for them? (I will have some sections that could be usefully auto-referenced). Many thanks in advance, Felix

Is this possible for the Frames
by Keith J. Schultz 21 Oct '13

21 Oct '13

Hi everbody, I would like to do some very special settings using frames possibly structures to! NMW % declartion of MyFarme and setup \defineframed[MyFrame][framed] \setupframed[MyFrame][\rulethickness=3pt, frameoffset=.8 rulethickness] … startext \MyFrame[\rulethickness=3pt{What goes into the frame} stop I would like to adjust the frameoffset according to the value of \rulethickness, to be exact I would prefer using a command that calulates a value. How do I go about it. According to the Manuals and the Wiki I can use a command How can I access rulethickness in such a manner? I know I could right a command in lua that injects the proper output into the TeX stream, but I am afraid that the the side effects. Could do it in TeX to, but I am not that comfortable with TeX and processing key values therein. Any help and ideas appriciated. regards Keith.

[***SPAM***] TexLive on Cygwin (native-ish)
by d.henman 20 Oct '13

The shell script, "context" which runs MKIV comes from this in TeXLive /texmf-dist/scripts/context/stubs/unix/context and not from MS-Windows. The unix in the above link to context leads me to believe that it is a unix Posix version of Context. Regardds

How to debug XML processing
by stephleg＠free.fr 20 Oct '13

20 Oct '13

Hello, After reading "Getting Web Content and pdf-Output from One Source" by Thomas A. Schmitz, i'm trying to use the same method to build a PDF file from a HTML one. But i quickly found that when something doesn't work as expected, it's pretty hard to debug because it's hard to tell if the error come from the environment file, the lua code or something else. So are there some useful tricks to debug this kind of processing besides the \enabletrackers command? Especially is there a way to view the generated ConTeXt code after the macro expansion? Thank you. Regards, Stéphane.

Re: [NTG-context] Simplefonts
by John Kitzmiller 19 Oct '13

In August 2013 Aditya and Hans provided the following wizardry to include math symbols from pagella when using euler as math font. http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg71000.html (Thank you to all involved! It works fine.) \usetypescriptfile[euler] \starttypescript[mainface] \definetypeface[mainface][rm][serif][pagella] [default] \definetypeface[mainface][mm][math] [pagellaovereuler][default] \stoptypescript \setupbodyfont[mainface] \appendtoks \rm \to \everymathematics \setupmathematics[lcgreek=normal, ucgreek=normal] \starttext The text font and $\angle ABD \cong \triangle XYZ$ \stoptext Can this be achieved with the new simplefonts? I have tried the setups in this thread but the symbols do not show. John

bug in multiple layouts?
by Pablo Rodriguez 19 Oct '13

19 Oct '13

Dear list, I have a sample with multiple layouts: \showframe \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided, location=] \setuplayout[margin=20mm, width=fit, topspace=45mm, bottomspace=25mm, height=fit] \definelayout[shorter][backspace=80mm, cutspace=20mm, topspace=110mm, bottomspace=30mm] \setuplayout[shorter] \setuplayout[reset] \definelayout[1][shorter] \definelayout[2-last][reset] \starttext \dorecurse{20}{\input knuth\par} \stoptext I found two issues: the first lines on the second page have the margin from previous page, and from the third page text doesn’t reach the page bottom. Am I missing something or have I found a bug? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
