cloning context git repository
by Pablo Rodriguez 22 Jun '14

22 Jun '14

Dear Mojca, as Philipp already reported some time ago (http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2014/077848.html) I’m afraid I cannot clone the git repo either: $ git clone http://git.contextgarden.net/context/context.git Cloning into 'context'... remote: Counting objects: 56495, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (11028/11028), done. error: RPC failed; result=18, HTTP code = 200MiB | 311.00 KiB/s fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly fatal: early EOF fatal: index-pack failed I can clone the Linux repo too: $ git clone https://github.com/torvalds/linux.git Cloning into 'linux'... remote: Reusing existing pack: 3654061, done. remote: Total 3654061 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0) Receiving objects: 100% (3654061/3654061), 1.00 GiB | 293.00 KiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (3016190/3016190), done. Checking connectivity... done. Checking out files: 100% (47427/47427), done. I’m using git-1.9.3 for Linux. I’m on Fedora 20, but I had the same results with Ubuntu 14.04 (which comes with git-1.9.1): $ git clone http://git.contextgarden.net/context/context.git Cloning into 'context'... remote: Counting objects: 56495, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (11028/11028), done. error: RPC failed; result=18, HTTP code = 200MiB | 294.00 KiB/s fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly fatal: early EOF fatal: index-pack failed There is a workaround for this at https://stackoverflow.com/a/22442535: git clone --depth 1 http://git.contextgarden.net/context/context.git git fetch --unshallow You replied to Philipp that it worked for you. I assume your OS is MacOSX. Has anyone else succeded or failed in cloning the context git repo? Which OS are you using? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

\nocite not working (new publications system)
by Robin.Kirkham＠csiro.au 22 Jun '14

22 Jun '14

Hans, I think \nocite stopped working one or two betas ago, see example: no Cleveland reference turns up in the list. Robin \definebtxdataset [document] \usebtxdataset [document] [mkiv-publications-graph.bib] \definebtxrendering [document] [dataset=document] \setupbtxrendering [document] [numbering=num] \starttext As \cite[document::Tufte1983] probably never indicated, bibtex is a \LATEX||centric program. A Cleveland \nocite[document::Cleveland1985] reference should also appear below. \blank \placebtxrendering[document][criterium=text] \stoptext

Poem with long verses
by Werner Hintze 21 Jun '14

21 Jun '14

I can’t figure out how to typeset poems with very long verses. I know that I can use the lines environment for verses, but if a verse is long, it must be broken and the second line must be indented. It seems that the lines environment doesn’t wllow this. Anayway I would prefer a solution which avoids the lines environment. This means I would like to define two commands: \startVerse and \stopVerse. But I find no solution. How can this be realized in Kontext? In LaTeX with memoir it’s really easy.

xtables and xml and lua
by Thomas A. Schmitz 18 Jun '14

18 Jun '14

Hi all, I'm terribly sorry I have to send three files for this test case, but I'm trying to process xml with lua, so it's difficult to do otherwise. I have two problems: 1. (probably unrelated to xml/lua): when I try to set the options (l. 22-3 in test-style.tex) \setupxtable [split=yes, spaceinbetween=medium] for the xtable environment, I get an error: tex error > error on line 22 in file /mnt/shared/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-yes.mkiv: ! You can't use `\prevdepth' in horizontal mode \nointerlineskip ^^@-\prevdepth -\thousandpoint l.22 \nointerlineskip \ctxcommand #1o-\directlua {commands.#1} \tabl_x_process ...lse \tabl_x_flush_text_checked \fi \fi \ctxcommand {x_tab... l.8 } \ctxlxml #1h-\ctxlua {lxml.#1} ... l.91 \stopluacode This looks like a buglet in xtables to me. 2. I would like to test whether a certain element has already been seen (l. 8-13 in test-style.lua). However, since tables are two-pass, the test will always return "true." How could I test properly? Thanks for your patience! Thomas

Improved publ-imp-test.bib
by Robin.Kirkham＠csiro.au 18 Jun '14

18 Jun '14

Hans, I am using the attached .bib file while working on improving publ-imp-apa.mkvi. The test .bib file contains a short and long version of each publication category, and while it is not an exhaustive test of publications list formatting it is a good start. Perhaps you can consider this to replace the existing publ-imp-test.bib in the core. Robin

Hello, I cannot compile the following code: ---- \mainlanguage[cz] \enableregime[cp1250] \starttext \section{Poznámky} \stoptext ---- It worked so far - I guess something is wrong with the input file encoding specification.

Publications output broken in latest beta
by Robin.Kirkham＠csiro.au 18 Jun '14

18 Jun '14

The following minimal example worked a few days ago, but appears broken now (2014.06.17 16:53 MKIV beta) — no publications list appears. Robin \definebtxdataset [document] \usebtxdataset [document] [mkiv-publications-graph.bib] \definebtxrendering [document] \setupbtxrendering [document] [numbering=yes] \starttext As \cite[document::Tufte1983] already indicated, bibtex is a \LATEX||centric program. \completebtxrendering[document] \stoptext

PDF Forms - expanding multi-line text fields
by Michael Guravage 17 Jun '14

17 Jun '14

I am composing a document that contains pdf forms. Example code in "Widgets Uncovered," shows how to specify the height and width of a multi-line text field. Here is a small example: \usemodule[fields] \setupinteraction[state=start] \setupfield [TextSetup] [width=\textwidth,height=5em,background=screen,backgroundscreen=.97,frame=off] \definefield [Block] [text] [TextSetup] \starttext \field [Block] \stoptext In this example the height is 5em. The field will scroll lines up when the height of the lines typed exceeds the height of the field. Click outside the field and the field displays the first n-lines that fit within its height. My question is, is it possible to tell the field to expand beyond its initial field height to display all its lines? A second less pressing question is, is it possible to tell lines to wrap when they exceed the field width? -- With kind regards, Michael Guravage

bugs in page breaks with items
by Pablo Rodriguez 16 Jun '14

16 Jun '14

Dear Hans, sorry for bothering you with this, but today I found an ugly pagebreak such as the following in a book I’m writting: \showframe\showgrid \setupbodyfont[pagella,15pt] \starttext \chapter{Chapter title} \section{Section title} \dorecurse{10}{\dorecurse{10}{Sentence. }\par} \startitemize \item \dorecurse{5}{This is an item. } \item \dorecurse{15}{This is an item. } \item \dorecurse{5}{This is an item. } \stopitemize \stoptext The second item from the list has the page break in the sample above. But if you comment the last item from the list, first two items fit in the first page. For some strange reason, ConTeXt is not able to leave the third item in that list alone in the second page. I have the strong impression that items themselves (not the paragraphs they contain) are handled by ConTeXt with rules for widow and orphan lines. The example above shows this. If you change recursion in the second item from 15 to 10 (so that the item has three lines), the whole list is moved to the second page. I think that the first item should remain on the first page. Another sample that shows the same behavior: \showframe\showgrid \setupbodyfont[pagella,15pt] \starttext \chapter{Chapter title} \section{Section title} \dorecurse{10}{\dorecurse{10}{Sentence. }\par} \startitemize \dorecurse{4}{\item This is an item.\par} \stopitemize \stoptext If there are four items, all text fits in one page. If there are five items, three items remain in the first page and two items move to the second page (not only the last one, as it should). But if there are six items in the list, the first four ones remain in the first page and the other two move to the second page. Could you fix these page breaks? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

hyperlinks within a PDF
by Robert Zydenbos 16 Jun '14

16 Jun '14

Forgive me for what must seem a beginners’ question, but I really could not find the solution in the documentation or the Wiki: How do I create hyperlinks within a PDF to another spot in the text of that same PDF? I had expected I could do something like: Here is a \goto{link}[label:1]. … \label[label:1]{This is what the link points to.} -- but I cannot find anything that resembles this in the documentation.
