\definehighlight with style=command problem
by Alan Bowen 28 May '13

28 May '13

I an trying to use \definehighlight to define a macro that will color and overstrike selected text. Thus far, \definehighlight[Delete][color=red,style={\overstrike}] \starttext test \Delete{test} test \stoptext reports ! Too many }'s. system > tex > error on line 4 in file ...TEST.tex: Too many }'s ... If I replace “\overstrike” with “bold”, “\Delete” works. “\overstrike” works otherwise, so am I trying the impossible here? Alan

Adjust font size to cell height in natural table
by "H. Özoguz" 27 May '13

27 May '13

Hello together, I use this as a natural table \def\esl[#1][#2][#3][#4][#5][#6][#7]{% \page \startframed[frame=off,width=fit,offset=overlay,align=middle,background=eslami]% \bTABLE[width=4.55cm,align={middle,lohi}] \bTR\bTD[height=2cm] ~\blank[-3.4mm]#1 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD[height=3cm] #2\\#3\\#4\\#5\\#6 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD[height=2.4cm] #7 \eTD\eTR \eTABLE \stopframed} Now it can happen, that the text of #7 is too long for the third cell, which is 4.55cm x 2.4cm. Is it possible to automatically adjust the fonz size (of this text in this sepcific cell only), s.t. it fits in the cell? For testing: %*********************************************************** \defineoverlay[eslami][{\externalfigure[eslamivorlage.pdf]}] \def\esl[#1][#2][#3][#4][#5][#6][#7]{% \page \startframed[frame=off,width=fit,offset=overlay,align=middle]% \bTABLE[width=4.55cm,align={middle,lohi}] \bTR\bTD[height=2cm] ~\blank[-3.4mm]#1 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD[height=3cm] #2\\#3\\#4\\#5\\#6 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD[height=2.4cm] #7 \eTD\eTR \eTABLE \stopframed} \setuppagenumbering[location=] \definepapersize[sheet][width=45.5mm,height=74mm] \definepapersize[bigsheet][width=\dimexpr\paperwidth+2mm\relax,height=\dimexpr\paperheight+2mm\relax] \setuplayout [location=middle, topspace=0mm, header=0mm, footer=0mm, bottomspace=0mm, width=middle, cutspace=0mm, backspace=0mm, %BCOR 5mm inkl. height=fit, grid=no] \setuppapersize[sheet][bigsheet] \setupbackgrounds[page][frame=off,frameoffset=0mm] \starttext \esl[Begriff][VB 1][VB 2][VB 3][VB 4][VB 5][Too small, too small, too small, too small, too small, too small, too small, too small.

Bibliography: spacing in cite, lettering of repeated years
by Steve Frank 25 May '13

25 May '13

I am just starting with the bibliography module and ran the following test: \cite[authoryear,left=(yes: ,right=; Rk)][frank98foundations] here, \cite[author][frank98foundations], then \cite[year][frank98foundations], then \cite{otrosina88isozyme,frank91ecological,frank98foundations,abraham82dynamics:} said and then { \cite[otrosina88isozyme]} commented and then \cite{abraham82dynamics:} With my setup, that gave: (yes: Frank 1998; Rk) here, Frank, then 1998, then (Otrosina et al. 1988; Frank 1991c,1998; Abraham and Shaw 1982) said and then (Otrosina et al. 1988) commented and then (Abraham and Shaw 1982) I give more on setup below. My three issues: 1. The space after the period in "et al." stretches, which does not look right. I tried modifying the "otherstext" field in various ways, but could not get a working solution. Any advice? 2. With the "compress" option on for authoryears, the dates 1991c,1998 are correctly combined in the second set, but I would like a space as "1991c, 1998" instead of "1991c,1998". 3. The citations listed here are all of the ones in the current document. The date 1991c should be 1991, without a letter, because there is neither 1991a nor 1991b. Is there a way to get consistent letter of repeated years, such that no letter is present without repeat, and the letters are given in the order in which they appear in the text? --- I am new to ConTeXt, and started by copying someone else' environment. Here are the relevant parts: \usemodule[bib] \setupbibtex[database={main}] \setuppublications [alternative=apa, sorttype=bbl, refcommand=authoryears, criterium=text, numbering=no] \setupcite [year] [pubsep={, }, lastpubsep={ and }, compress=yes, inbetween={}, left={}, right={}] \setupcite [author] [pubsep={, }, lastpubsep={ and }, compress=yes, inbetween={}, left={}, right={}] \setupcite [authoryears] [pubsep={; }, % otherstext={ et al. }, % cannot get that to work % \c!otherstext={ et al.}, lastpubsep={; }, compress=yes, inbetween={ }, left={(}, right={)}] Steve

Next question to this: The printable area of the sheet is not the complete area, e.g. it has a not-printable margin of 10mm on the left, 2mm right, and 5mm at the top and 5mm at the bottom. How to control these margins, s.t. the cards are only set in the printable area of the sheet? I tried with "topspace", "buttomspace" etc. in \setuplayout, but that does not work now. Thanks. Huseyin

Understanding the imposing-mechanism
by "H. Özoguz" 25 May '13

25 May '13

Hi there, following Wolfgangs suggestion, I set every game-card on a single page now. All cards are in one pdf-File, each on his own page. Every page has the size 47,5mm x 76mm. Now I tried to place the pages on a big sheet, its size is 660mm x 330mm, s.th. the small cards are set in a 4*13 sceme (floor(330/76)=4 and floor(660/47,5) = 13) - but I failed. There is an example in the wiki for imposing existing pdf-pages, but I do not understand it, and if I try to change its values for my example, I get nothing reasonable, nor even understandable. The example of the wiki is here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Imposition And here my failed try: \definepapersize[sheet][width=660mm,height=330mm] \definepapersize[bigsheet][width=\dimexpr\paperwidth+4mm\relax,height=\dimexpr\paperheight+4mm\relax] \setuppaper[sheet][bigsheet] \setuppaper[nx=13, ny=4] \setuplayout[page][location=middle, marking=on] \setuparranging [XY] \setuplayout [backspace=0pt, topspace=0pt, width=middle, height=middle, location=middle, header=0pt, footer=0pt] \setuppagenumbering[] \starttext \insertpages [eslami_karten.pdf][] \stoptext Thanks for help.

Installing Scribuntu, for Lua on the wiki
by Sietse Brouwer 24 May '13

24 May '13

Hi Taco, I'd like to propose thse three extensions for the wiki: * Scribunto [1], which allows writing wikicode extensions in Lua. I ran into a limitation of the template expansion system the other day. Also, this may come in useful for the command reference. [2] [1] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Scribunto [2] http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg68550.html * BacktickCode, which allows writing `...` instead of <code>...</code> — rather pleasant when writing about commands. The code needs a slight modification so as to ignore backticks inside <texcode> and <context> tags, too; see bottom of this e-mail. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:BacktickCode * Semantic Forms (which requirs Semantic Mediawiki), which allows presenting people with a form when creating certain types of pages. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Semantic_Forms How does that sound to you? Thank you very much, Sietse Here's the modification to BacktickCode: function backtickCodeParse( &$parser, &$text, &$stripState ) { // We replace '`...`' by '<code>...</code>' and '\`' by '`'. // Text between <pre> tags is not modified. $text = preg_replace_callback('/<pre>(.*?)<\/pre>/s', function ($match) { return '<pre>' . preg_replace('/`/', '\`', $match[1]) . '</pre>'; }, $text); + $text = preg_replace_callback('/<texcode>(.*?)<\/texcode>/s', function ($match) { + return '<texcode>' . preg_replace('/`/', '\`', $match[1]) . '</texcode>'; + }, $text); + $text = preg_replace_callback('/<context>(.*?)<\/context>/s', function ($match) { + return '<context>' . preg_replace('/`/', '\`', $match[1]) . '</context>'; + }, $text); $text = preg_replace('/([^\\\\]|^)`([^`]*)`/', '$1<code>$2</code>', $text); $text = preg_replace('/\\\\\`/', '`', $text); return true; }

GLIBC 2.7 requirement for Standalone ConTeXt
by Andreas Schneider 23 May '13

23 May '13

Hello, I'm running a build server on an older box with CentOS 5. I didn't update ConTeXt Standalone in quite some time. Now I did since I had some problems with the dated version in use, and now I face the following problem: texlua: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7' not found (required by texlua) texlua: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.11' not found (required by texlua) CentOS 5 still ships GLIBC 2.5. What can I do from here? Any chance on running ConTeXt without upgrading the whole system? -- Best Regards, Andreas

[***SPAM***] Re: Two-language environment and page breaking
by "H. Özoguz" 23 May '13

Just to try another attempt for getting hints from you: You can see in the examples, the the middle vertical line (which is just the right frame of the left cell) is not exactly as high as the text needs. It is a bit higher and stick a little bit out, at the beginning (top) and at the end (bottom) of the natural table. How to fix this, so that the vertical line (right border frame) exactly ends and begins with the textline? That would help to get an exact connection to the next block. Of course the alternative would be to set frame=off for the tables and to place an vertical line as overlay on every single page (as background). But for that I would have to use the length of the text on a page, to adjust the line as long, as needed, not longer, not over the complete page every time. Thanks! Huseyin
