[Metapost] Using mkIV and metapost to produce SVG
by ralf.waldvogel＠pta.de 06 May '14

06 May '14

Dear all, as I have seen on the mailing list digest, my original (HTML) mail has been scrambled. Sorry for that. Here the repost: I would like to produce an svg file from a Metapost input file using some of ConTeXt's typesetting features (esp. using System OTF Fonts) using something like: \startbuffer[buffer:dummy] \start \startcolor[white] \framed[align=middle,width=28mm,frame=off] { \SansBodyBold % Font definition done earlier Test to \par rendered \par } \stopcolor \stop \stopbuffer % .... \startuniqueMPgraphic{mp:margin} picture text; text := btex \getbuffer[buffer:dummy] etex; draw text shifted(-11.8mm,-4.8mm ); % Some more fancy drawing her \stopuniqueMPgraphic Can I render that with MetaPost to SVG? Is it possible to render text as paths not as referenced glyphs in MetaPost/ConTexT? Unfortunately I have to stick to SVG as the resulting output format. Converting from PDF to SVG is not an option at the moment due a) performance considerations and b) trouble with generated font names in the resulting ConTeXt PDF file (inkscape as well as pdf2svg produce real strange results). Please let me know, if you need furhter information. Thank you very much in advance. Kind regards, Ralf http://www.pta.de Mit ca. 2.460 Erfahrungsberichten aus 45 Jahren erfolgreicher Projektarbeit!

text with background does not break properly around float
by Thomas Möbius 06 May '14

06 May '14

Dear ConTeXt list, text that has some background attached to it, does not properly break if a float appears on the same page. How to work around it? ---minimal example--- \starttext \chapter {Bsaoteh} \defineenumeration [excursion] [text=Excursion, listtext={Excursion~}, counter=theorem, before={\blank\startbackground}, after={\stopbackground\blank}] \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \placetable [here] [tab:bala] {Blaoesunthaoeusatoheu saohusaoteh asotehu asoehu aseohu}{ \bTABLE \setupTABLE[frame=off] \setupTABLE[r][first][topframe=on,rulethickness=1.3pt] \setupTABLE[r][2][topframe=on] \setupTABLE[r][last][bottomframe=on,rulethickness=1.3pt] \setupTABLE[c][each][align=left] \setupTABLE[c][1][align=right] \setupTABLE[c][1][width=.7\textwidth] \setupTABLE[c][2][width=.2\textwidth] \bTR\bTD something \eTD\bTD 0.0000 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD something \eTD\bTD 0.0000 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD something \eTD\bTD 0.0000 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD something \eTD\bTD 0.0000 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD something \eTD\bTD 0.0000 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD something \eTD\bTD 0.0000 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD something \eTD\bTD 0.0000 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD something \eTD\bTD 0.0000 \eTD\eTR \eTABLE} \excursion \input knuth\input knuth\input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \stoptext

Empty heads after leading whitespace
by Maggyero 06 May '14

06 May '14

> after={\blank[0em]\blank[disable]}] Yes it also works, thank you Thangalin. So here is the final solution (I have added the 'nowhite' keyword in the second blank to kill whitespaces when they are active) to get real empty heads (sections here) in the document: \setupwhitespace[line] \setuphead [section] [placehead=empty, page=yes, after={\blank[none]\blank[nowhite, disable]}] \setuphead [subsection] [placehead=yes, before={\blank[line]}, after={\blank[line]}] \setupheadertexts[section] \showframe \starttext \completecontent \dorecurse{2} {\section{My section} \dorecurse{2} {\subsection{My subsection} \input knuth}} \stoptext

Calling fonts (was: Hebrew vowel placement in ConTeXt)

Thank you very much again. This was helpful, and here is my minimal working example: \definefontfeature[hebrew][default][script=hebr,ccmp=yes] \definefont [myhebrew] [SILEOTSR.ttf*hebrew] \setupdirections[bidi=on,method=two] \starttext Here is the first line of the Bible. {\myhebrew בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית בָּרָ֣א אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֵ֥ת הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם וְאֵ֥ת הָאָֽרֶץ׃ } \stoptext I still have some questions. It took me a long time to understand that \definefont [myhebrew] [SILEOTSR.ttf*hebrew] would use the fontfeature "hebrew" that I had defined together with the font file SILEOTSR.ttf and assign this pairing to the nickname "myhebrew". Rik's example also has "sa 1" which I do not understand. \definefontfeature [aramaic] [default][ccmp=yes,script=hebr] \definefont [aramaic] [KeterYG-Medium.ttf*aramaic sa 1] Is the syntax for definefont using "*" documented somewhere? Is it similar to definefontsynonym at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Fonts_in_LuaTeX (and below)? I also do not understand the full syntax from the referenced message. Here is my best effort to annotate it, but I would appreciate corrections or additions %% The following defines the fontfeature "hebrew" %% which can then be applied to a font. %% definefontfeature is documented at %% http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/definefontfeature %% and the available features are specific to the font %% e.g. http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/featurelist.htm \definefontfeature[hebrew][default][script=hebr,ccmp=yes,mark=yes] %% I am confused below. When was font:fallback:serif defined? %% Why file: but features= ? %% How will the fontsynonym "Serif" function? \starttypescript [serif] [ezrasil] \setups[font:fallback:serif] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [file:sileot] [features=hebrew] \stoptypescript %% Still confused \starttypescript [ezrasil] \definetypeface [ezrasil] [rm] [serif] [ezrasil] [default] \quittypescriptscanning \stoptypescript %% Sets the main body to the font %% that has been named and given features \setupbodyfont[ezrasil] %% Would an alternative at this point be to use %% \definefont [myezrasil] [ezrasil] %% to define a single font and then use {\myezrasil בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית} for short passages \setupalign[r2l] \starttext בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית בָּרָ֣א אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֵ֥ת הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם וְאֵ֥ת הָאָֽרֶץ׃ \stoptext Thank you again for your guidance.

linebreaks and cell width in xtables
by Pablo Rodriguez 05 May '14

05 May '14

Dear list, I have the following sample: \starttext \startxtable[option=stretch] \startxrow \startxcell One line And another \stopxcell \startxcell This breaks the following cell. \stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell This cell has multiple lines. Vertical spacing is wrong. \stopxcell \startxcell What am I missing? \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable \stoptext I don’t know whether this is a bug. My question is the following: how can I get a new line inside a cell? I have another question: how can I force that both rows (in this case two) have the same width? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Head titles and section blocks bug in s-pre-60.tex module
by Maggyero 05 May '14

05 May '14

Hans, I think there is a bug in your s-pre-60.tex module regarding the step mechanism interacting with section blocks: the head titles disappear each time ConTeXt starts a new section block. I have found a way to solve this problem by putting \StartSteps\StopSteps (empty pair, and it works also with \StartStep\StopStep empty pair) right after the start of each section block, like this for instance: \startbodymatter\StartSteps\Stopsteps blablabla \stopbodymatter. Could you correct this? Here is a minimal example illustrating the problem: \usemodule[pre-60] \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext \startfrontmatter \startsection[title=My frontmatter section] % <-- Title displayed: fine. \StartSteps \startitemize \item my item\FlushStep \item my item\FlushStep \item my item\FlushStep \stopitemize \StopSteps \stopsection \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \startsection[title=My bodymatter section] % <-- Title NOT displayed: bug? \StartSteps \startitemize \item my item\FlushStep \item my item\FlushStep \item my item\FlushStep \stopitemize \StopSteps \stopsection \stopbodymatter \startbackmatter \startsection[title=My backmatter section] % <-- Title NOT displayed: bug? \StartSteps \startitemize \item my item\FlushStep \item my item\FlushStep \item my item\FlushStep \stopitemize \StopSteps \stopsection \stopbackmatter \startappendices \startsection[title=My backmatter section] % <-- Title NOT displayed: bug? \StartSteps \startitemize \item my item\FlushStep \item my item\FlushStep \item my item\FlushStep \stopitemize \StopSteps \stopsection \stopappendices \stoptext Regards.
