luatex lunatic
by DesdeChaves 18 Dec '13

18 Dec '13

Dear sirs I would like to try luatex lunatic ( http://wiki.contextgarden.net/User:Luigi.scarso/luatex_lunatic) but i d'ont find the luatex-0.42. I'm looking in https://foundry.supelec.fr/frs/?group_id=10&release_id=406#luatex-beta-0.76… I've been looking for a way to simulate data with different distributions (normal, poisson, exponential, etc.) in the .tex file. The use of GSL library is a good option, but it seems impossible to import in luatex. Another way is using the R-statistical through filter module***, which seems to work well in luatex. At this time I would try to import the GSL functions through python script. For that i think that i need the older luatex 0.42 but I don't find that. *** \defineexternalfilter [R] [ filtercommand={R CMD BATCH -q --save --restore \externalfilterinputfile\space \externalfilteroutputfile}, output=\externalfilterbasefile.out, directory=output, readcommand=\typefile, read=no, cache=yes, ] Jorge

The closest thing I found is http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Law_Faculty_University_of_Ljubljana_Styling_a… but it's a bit outdated and far from complete. Maybe someone did his/her thesis in ConTeXt?

Table in header, or multicolumn header
by Marco Pallante 16 Dec '13

16 Dec '13

Hello everyone, I'm starting to write some technical documents for a customer. I used MS Word in the past because that's what they use, then switched to OO Writer for the last job, but I'm not very comfortable with neither of them, so I decided to switch to ConTeXt. However, I'm facing with a problem. Page headings must contain a three columns table, with a logo in the left cell, a title in the middle one and finally some rows with a document reference number, the issue, the issue date and "page/pages" numbers. I'm not sure if I should use the \startcolumns environment (but it doesn't seems to work in headers or footers) or one of the various table environments. Could you give me some advice? I attached a screenshot of what the header looks like in Writer. Thank you, Marco Pallante

gsl in luatex
by DesdeChaves 15 Dec '13

15 Dec '13

Dear Sirs Is there a way to call external lua modules inside luatex. In particular I would like to call gsl libray using a gsl-lua binding ( http://www.stefanom.org/devel/gsl-lua)/. I'm not talking about gsl-shell that needs luajit. I'm working in MacOSX with minimals. My LUAINPUTS are: LUAINPUTS = ".;$TEXINPUTS;$TEXMF/scripts/context/lua//;/usr/local/lib/lua/5.2//", CLUAINPUTS = ".;$SELFAUTOLOC/lib/{context,luatex,}/lua//;/usr/local/lib/lua/5.2//", >ls /usr/local/lib/lua/5.2 GSLdefs2.lua alien_c.la alien_c.so gsl.lua The GSL library is called using the Alien. If i try: \starttext \enabletrackers[resolvers.libraries] \startluacode print("LUAINPUTS",os.getenv("LUAINPUTS")) require("alien") ; \stopluacode \stoptext [...] resolvers > libraries > registered lua format path 32: /Applications/Context/tex/texmf-osx-64/scripts/context/lua/ resolvers > libraries > registered lua format path 33: /Applications/Context/tex/texmf/scripts/context/lua/ resolvers > libraries > registered lua format path 34: /usr/local/lib/lua/5.2 resolvers > libraries > lua format, checking 34 paths resolvers > libraries > lua format, identifying 'alien.lua' using format 'tex' resolvers > libraries > lua format, identifying 'alien.lua' using format 'lua' resolvers > libraries > locating, level '1', method 'lib variable format', name 'alien' resolvers > libraries > registered lib format path 1: . resolvers > libraries > registered lib format path 2: /Applications/Context/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/lib/context/lua/ resolvers > libraries > registered lib format path 3: /Applications/Context/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/lib/luatex/lua/ resolvers > libraries > registered lib format path 4: /Applications/Context/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/lib/lua/ resolvers > libraries > registered lib format path 5: /usr/local/lib/lua/5.2 resolvers > libraries > lib format, checking 5 paths resolvers > libraries > lib format, identifying 'alien.so' using format 'lib' resolvers > libraries > locating, level '1', method 'lua extra list', name 'alien' resolvers > libraries > no extra lua paths defined resolvers > libraries > locating, level '1', method 'lib extra list', name 'alien' resolvers > libraries > no extra lib paths defined resolvers > libraries > locating, level '1', method 'path specification', name 'alien' resolvers > libraries > using builtin lua path 1: /usr/local/share/lua/5.2/?.lua resolvers > libraries > using builtin lua path 2: /usr/local/share/lua/5.2/?/init.lua resolvers > libraries > using builtin lua path 3: /usr/local/lib/lua/5.2/?.lua resolvers > libraries > using builtin lua path 4: /usr/local/lib/lua/5.2/?/init.lua resolvers > libraries > using builtin lua path 5: ./?.lua resolvers > libraries > found, level '1', method 'path specification', name 'alien' resolvers > libraries > locating, level '1', method 'already loaded', name 'alien_c' resolvers > libraries > locating, level '1', method 'preload table', name 'alien_c' resolvers > libraries > locating, level '1', method 'lua variable format', name 'alien_c' resolvers > libraries > lua format, checking 34 paths resolvers > libraries > lua format, identifying 'alien_c.lua' using format 'tex' resolvers > libraries > lua format, identifying 'alien_c.lua' using format 'lua' resolvers > libraries > locating, level '1', method 'lib variable format', name 'alien_c' resolvers > libraries > lib format, checking 5 paths resolvers > libraries > lib format, identifying 'alien_c.so' using format 'lib' resolvers > libraries > lib format, 'alien_c.so' found on '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.2/alien_c.so' resolvers > libraries > calling loadlib with '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.2/alien_c.so' with init 'luaopen_alien_c' resolvers > libraries > locating, level '1', method 'lua extra list', name 'alien_c' resolvers > libraries > locating, level '1', method 'lib extra list', name 'alien_c' resolvers > libraries > locating, level '1', method 'path specification', name 'alien_c' resolvers > libraries > locating, level '1', method 'cpath specification', name 'alien_c' resolvers > libraries > using builtin lib path 1: /usr/local/lib/lua/5.2/?.so resolvers > libraries > using builtin lib path 2: /usr/local/lib/lua/5.2/loadall.so resolvers > libraries > using builtin lib path 3: ./?.so !

[OT] Book complete and thank you
by Kip Warner 12 Dec '13

12 Dec '13

Friends, I have completed my book typeset using ConTeXt[1]. I'd like to extend my gratitude to this list for the many questions answered. In particular, I'd like to thank in no particular order Hans Hagen, Luigi Scarso, Wolfgang Schuster, Mojca Miklavec, and Taco Hoekwater. I'd also like to thank Adam Reviczky for his help in preparing debs for ConTeXt. <https://www.avaneya.com/#!/content/downloads/handbook.html> Without these peoples' help, it would have been more difficult to develop my project. Take care, -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

Devanagari in Siddhanta font with Context m-iv
by Shree Devi Kumar 11 Dec '13

11 Dec '13

Thanks for your reply. I am using a goodies file for coloring the accents. I am attaching that as well as a MWE tex file and resulting pdf. Chandas is not fully unicode compliant for some of the accents which are encoded in PUA, hence I would like to use Siddhanta which I understand is a completely redesigned version of Chandas fully compartible with Vedic Unicode Fonts are available from: Siddhanta: http://svayambhava.org/index.php/en/fonts Chandas: http://www.sanskritweb.net/cakram/ Thanks, Shree Devi Am 07.12.2013 um 15:21 schrieb Shree Devi Kumar <shreeshrii at gmail.com <http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context>>: >* I am converting some ITRANS documents with vedic accents to devanagari pdf files using Context.

Understanding the basics of \define
by Pavel Stupin 11 Dec '13

11 Dec '13

Hello: I'm struggling with understanding the way \define is supposed to work. I would like to have a macros to generate tables and populate them with some specific data submitted as arguments. I apologize for my lack of understanding of the very basics, but e.g. the following code just doesn't compile: \define[1]\mytable{ \startxtable \startxrow \startxcell #1 \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable} \mytable{abc} I would appreciate your help and maybe some references to read (if any) in order to educate myself. Kind regards, Pavel.

incrementing counters in tables
by Jannik Voges 10 Dec '13

10 Dec '13

Dear ConTeXt-Users, I want to use counters in tables. But incrementing counters in tables doesn’t work as expected. For example, when I typeset the following example, I get numbers between 80 and 119, I would expect numbers between 0 and 39. How can I get the desired numbers? \definenumber[test] \starttext \bTABLE \dorecurse{8}{ \bTR \dorecurse{5}{\bTD \rawcountervalue[test]\incrementnumber[test] \eTD} \eTR } \eTABLE \stoptext Thanks Jannik Voges
