\definestyle (urgent)
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي حامد 05 Mar '13

05 Mar '13

Dear gang, Has the behavior of \definestyle changed? In my typescript I have e.g. \definestyle [semibold] [\sb] [] It worked for years but now I get ============= ! Undefined control sequence. system > tex > error on line 1 in file C:/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-project/tex/generic/private/type-mpro.mkiv: Undefined control sequence ... 1 >> \definestyle [semibold] [\sb] [] 2 \definestyle [semibolditalic,italicsemibold] [\st] [] 3 4 \definestyle [smallcapssemibold, semiboldsmallcaps] [\SB] [] 5 \definestyle [smallcapsbold, boldsmallcaps] [\BF] [] 6 \definestyle [smallcapsitalic, italicsmallcaps] [\IT] [] 7 \definestyle [smallcapssemibolditalic,semibolditalicsmallcaps][\ST] [] 8 \definestyle [smallcapsbolditalic, bolditalicsmallcaps] [\BI] [] 9 10 \definestyle [light] [\LI] [] 11 \definestyle [lightitalic,italiclight] [\LT] [] <argument> \sb \define_style ...yle \edef \currentstyleparent {#2 }\expandafter \edef \csnam... l.1 ... [\sb] [] ? ============= I have to update my cv for a deadline today, so I need to get this typescript working asap. Just in case I've attached the whole typescript (MinionPro Opticals, so it's a nice example of a sophisticated typescript). But maybe/hopefully it's just a small update in syntax that I'm missing.

luatex 0.75
by Hans Hagen 05 Mar '13

05 Mar '13

Hi, I uploaded a beta. This will be the last one useable with pre-0.75 luatex so if you depend on it, best make a snapshot now. Some 50 files will be replaced in 0.75 and I'm not sure when Mojca will do the 0.75 garden update.

luatex 0.75 and Debian Wheezy

Hi, Debian Wheezy (soon to be released) uses GLIBC_2.13, so this error is expected. texlua: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by texlua) Regards, Bernard

Trouble with \placefloat in recent versions of the standalone
by Robert Blackstone 05 Mar '13

05 Mar '13

Dear all, With recent standalones (jan. 7, jan. 29 and march 2) I am experiencing trouble processing .tex-files that gave no problems in november (14-11). For instance, when processing with "ConTeXt ver: 2013.01.02 18:19 MKIV fmt: 2013.1.7 int: english/english", the log file gives the following information: ------------------------------------------------------------------- ! LuaTeX error [string "\directlua "]:1: invalid escape sequence near '\s'. system > tex > error on line 47 in file Chapter_4_S2MyBq-02-03-example.tex: LuaTeX error ... ------------------------------------------------------------------- and further on: ----------------------------------------------------------------- 45 \placeexample[here][ZarlConsCh38p188tot]{Zarlino\index[Zarlino]{Zarlino, Gioseffo}, Consonances ch.38, p.188} 46 {\startcombination[1*2] 47 >> {\externalfigure[ZarlConsCh38p188fa]}{facsimile} 48 {\externalfigure[ZarlConsCh38p188fi]}{transcription} 49 \stopcombination} ---------------------------------------- The processing stops at line 47. The log-file's last words are: "<inserted text> ...number \foundexternalfigure ; }" I have no clue as to what to do with that information. Just for the sake of completeness: In the setupfile "example" is defined: \definefloat[example][examples] \setupcaption[example][way=bychapter,prefix=yes,prefixsegments=chapter,location=top,number=yes,inbetween=\blank,bodyfont=10pt] \setuplabeltext[en][Example=Ex. ] As said, "ConTeXt ver: 2012.11.14 11:37 MKIV fmt: 2012.11.15 int: english/english" gives no problem at all. Also, \placetable[here][tab:ref]{caption}} does not seem to trigger problems in recent versions. Has something been changed in the commands for placing external figures since november? What would I have to change, either in the setup or in the commands for placing the example? Thanks in advance for any help. Best regards, Robert Blackstone

XML Lua engine in ConTeXt
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 05 Mar '13

05 Mar '13

Hello, which XML processing Lua engine is used by ConTeXt? There are more XML processors developed for Lua - LuaXML, LuaExpat etc. Does ConTeXt use one of these or another, or its own - a built-in one? As I'm processing XML tables with pure Lua, too, I'd like to use only one engine in pure Lua scripts and within ConTeXt; I believe it could be possible. Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

processing xml with lua
by Schmitz Thomas A. 05 Mar '13

05 Mar '13

Hi all, one of my favorite topics… Here is a minimal example which shows something that I don't understand: when I process the subsection with the lua code, I want to get the value of the current section's "label" attribute in xml.attribute(r, "../../section", "label", "X"). So i was expecting that lua would go up (../../) and fetch the current section's label. But if you run the example, you see that it actually always gets the first section's label (value is always 1). How can I get the current section's label with a lua function? THanks and all best Thomas \startbuffer[test] <chapter> <section label="1"> <subsection label="1"> <content> text 1.1 </content> </subsection> </section> <section label="3"> <subsection label="1"> <content> text 3.1 </content> </subsection> <subsection label="5"> <content> text 3.5 </content> </subsection> </section> </chapter> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups xml:testsetups \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{chapter|section|subsection|content}{xml:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:testsetups} \startxmlsetups xml:chapter \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:section \xmlflush{#1} \par \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:subsection \xmlfunction{#1}{test} \stopxmlsetups \startluacode outfile = io.open('temp.tmp', 'w') function xml.functions.test(r) content = xml.text(r, "content") section = xml.attribute(r, "../../section", "label", "X") context("This ") context(content) context(" is in section ") context(section) end \stopluacode \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{test}{} \enabletrackers[context.trace] \xmlshow{main} \stoptext

Understanding \lesshyphens
by Marco Patzer 04 Mar '13

04 Mar '13

Hi, how is \lesshyphens supposed to work? According to the source it's supposed to increment the current value of lefthyphenmin and righthyphenmin. But apparently I'm mistaken, it has no effect whatsoever. Can someone enlighten me? \setuplayout [width=3cm] %% \setuplanguage [lefthyphenmin=3] %% works \lesshyphens %% no effect \starttext \input zapf \stoptext Marco
