xml selection on attribute expressions
by H. van der Meer 03 Dec '13

03 Dec '13

Following an example in the chapter on Expressions and filters for xml-processing one can select on an attribute ‘name’ in the node <file name=“whatever”/> file[@name=="whatever”]/command(todo) However, I would like to select on a combination of alternatives, so that equivalent are <file name=“whatever”/> and <file src=“whatever”/> I tried several variations but none of them work. \xmlfilter{#1}{file([@name=="whatever”] or [@src=="whatever”])/command(todo) \xmlfilter{#1}{file[@name=="whatever”] or [@src=="whatever”]/command(todo) \xmlfilter{#1}{file[@name=="whatever”] or file[@src=="whatever”]/command(todo) \xmlfilter{#1}{(file[@name=="whatever”]|file[@src=="whatever”])/command(todo) How to? Or is this impossible? Hans van der Meer

Hi, The linenote compression options (and control) has been upgraded: \definepapersize [mine] [width=8cm, height=6cm] \setuplayout [location=middle, width=middle, height=middle, headerdistance=5mm] \setuppapersize [mine] [oversized] \definelinenote [MyNote] \setupnote [MyNote] [paragraph=yes] \setupnotation [MyNote] [alternative=serried, distance=.5em, width=broad] \setupalign [verytolerant] \showframe \startbuffer \setupfootertexts[\ttxx compress=\namednoteparameter{MyNote}{compress}\quad compressmethod=\namednoteparameter{MyNote}{compressmethod}] \startlinenumbering This\MyNote{That} context\MyNote{document} is\MyNote{was} a sample\MyNote{an example} that I\MyNote{she} want\MyNote{didn’t want} to show\MyNote{publish} \stoplinenumbering \page \stopbuffer \starttext \setupnote[MyNote][compress=yes,compressmethod=stopper] \getbuffer \setupnote[MyNote][compress=yes,compressmethod=separator] \getbuffer \setupnote[MyNote][compress=yes,compressmethod=space] \getbuffer \setupnote[MyNote][compress=yes,compressmethod=] \getbuffer \setupnote[MyNote][compress=no,compressmethod=stopper] \getbuffer \setupnote[MyNote][compress=no,compressmethod=separator] \getbuffer \setupnote[MyNote][compress=no,compressmethod=space] \getbuffer \setupnote[MyNote][compress=no,compressmethod=] \getbuffer \stoptext Keep in mind that paragraph notes are somewhat special so some tolerance in alignment helps.

Re: [NTG-context] Keeping titles together with the following text when grid is on

Also, most names are intended to be quite descriptive, and ConTeXt does not error in the use of terse, cryptic labels. In fact, descriptive comments in the source then become redundant when the code is written in such an explicit style. This does not mean that there is no need for good documentation and tutorials.

Hello, this is not the same question as handling orphan and widows - because you surely do not want some titles with only 2-3 lines of body text after them. I always use "\testpage[x]" to handle those issues, see your example with testpage: \setuppapersize[B5] \startsetups[grid][mypenalties] \setdefaultpenalties \setpenalties\widowpenalties{2}{10000} \setpenalties\clubpenalties {2}{10000} \stopsetups \setuphead[section] [before={\testpage[8]\blank}] %comment the following line to see the difference \setuplayout[grid=yes, setups=mypenalties] \showgrid \starttext \blank[force, 9.5cm] \input tufte \section{Tufte} \input tufte \stoptext Huseyin

\attachment
by Aditya Mahajan 02 Dec '13

It seems that there is a mixup in the backend code for including an attachment. For example, when I use: \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext The current file is \attachment[tag][file=\jobname.tex, name=test.tex, title={Whatever}] \stoptext I was expecting that the current file will be attached as "test.tex" and title "Whatever. However, the title of the attached file is "tag". See the attached screenshot from Adobe Reader. It seems that in the back end, tag is written to the PDF file where title should have been written.

[***SPAM***] RE: Footnote line position

Changing the depth from \zeropoint to a bigger value (1cm) makes the gap same, but it leads to extreme thick rule. What else could be tweaked here? Thnaks, Jan

In this case \smallcaps option behaves differently than for e.g. \it or \bf styles. I am quite confused. Moreover, when faked caps are switched on using \sc, it works. Can anybody explain what is happening here? Thanks, Jan
