How to define a new environment / function?

20 Jun '15

Dear list, having used ConTeXt for years now, I am the first time in need to, well, "programming" something. And I realised, I am a little bit lost. I have a rather long list of variable descriptions that I would like to typeset in a usable and readable way. It should look something like this: ---snip: minimal example--- \starttext \setupdelimitedtext[blockquote] {{\bf Geschlecht} \qquad Geschlecht \hfill $0,1$} \startblockquote Das Geschlecht des Probanden. \stopblockquote \blank {{\bf SoB} \qquad Geburtssaison \hfill $1,\dots,4$} \startblockquote Jahreszeit der Geburt. Kodierung: 1 = Winter, 2 = Frühling, 3 = Sommer, 4 = Herbst. \stopblockquote \blank {{\bf BildungV} \qquad Bildung Vater \hfill $1,\dots,6$} \startblockquote Ordinale Beschreibung der Bildung des Vaters zum Zeitpunkt der Erhebung. Kodierung: 0 = kein Abschluss, 1 = Volksschule, 2 = Hauptschule, 3 = Realschule, 4 = Fachabitur, 5 = Abitur, 6 = Studium. \stopblockquote \blank {{\bf BildungM} \qquad Bildung Mutter \hfill $1,\dots,6$} \startblockquote Ordinale Beschreibung der Bildung der Mutter zum Zeitpunkt der Erhebung. Kodierung siehe {\bf BildungV}. \stopblockquote \blank {{\bf Urb15} \qquad Urbanität \hfill $\naturalnumbers$} \startblockquote Beschreibung der Urbanität des Umfelds in den ersten 15 Lebensjahren. Kodierung: $\sum_{i=1}^{15} u_i$ mit $u_i=$ ein Punkt für eine Stadt bis 10.000 Einwohner, 2 Punkte für bis 100.000 Einwohner, 3 Punkte über 100.000 Einwohner im Jahr $i$. \stopblockquote \blank {{\bf LQ} \qquad Händigkeit \hfill $(0,1)$} \startblockquote Lateralisierungsquotient, wobei -1 = perfekt linkshändig und +1 = perfekt rechtshändig. \stopblockquote \stoptext ---end snip--- What I would like to have is a function/environment/something that would allow me to write the above text in the following way: ---snip: want to example--- \starttext \startvariable [alias=Geschlecht, name=Geschlecht, range={$0,1$}] Das Geschlecht des Probanden. \stopvariable \startvariable [alias=SoB, name=Geburtssaison, range={$1,\dots,4$}] Jahreszeit der Geburt. Kodierung: 1 = Winter, 2 = Frühling, 3 = Sommer, 4 = Herbst. \stopvariable \startvariable [alias=BildungV, name={Bildung Vater}, range={$1,\dots,6$}, reference=bildungDesVater] Ordinale Beschreibung der Bildung des Vaters zum Zeitpunkt der Erhebung. Kodierung: 0 = kein Abschluss, 1 = Volksschule, 2 = Hauptschule, 3 = Realschule, 4 = Fachabitur, 5 = Abitur, 6 = Studium. \stopvariable \startvariable [alias=BildungM, name={Bildung Mutter}, range={$1,\dots,6$}] Ordinale Beschreibung der Bildung der Mutter zum Zeitpunkt der Erhebung. Kodierung siehe \in[bildungDesVater]. \stopvariable \startvariable [alias=Urb15, name=Urbanität, range={$\naturalnumbers$}] Beschreibung der Urbanität des Umfelds in den ersten 15 Lebensjahren. Kodierung: $\sum_{i=1}^{15} u_i$ mit $u_i=$ ein Punkt für eine Stadt bis 10.000 Einwohner, 2 Punkte für bis 100.000 Einwohner, 3 Punkte über 100.000 Einwohner im Jahr $i$. \startvariable [alias=LQ, name=Händigkeit, range={$(0,1)$}] Lateralisierungsquotient, wobei -1 = perfekt linkshändig und +1 = perfekt rechtshändig. \stopvariable \stoptext ---end snip--- Could someone point me in the right direction, or get me started somehow? Is this difficult to accomplish? Or is it super easy and I just don't know it? Thank you so much! Best Thomas

Newbie, question about fonts
by Florian Rudt 19 Jun '15

19 Jun '15

Dear List, at first: thanks a lot for TeX and ConTeXt. I am really new to CoTeXt, TeX and LaTex, sorry. I come from the other side, from the DTP-side (the dark side). I have been working for more than 20 years in the graphics and prepess business with the mouse (only at the beginning some weeks playing with Linotype Series 300 and Linosetting and one day Berthold's ProfiPage). I managed to redo a simple old job with context: the book block of a novel, incl. front matter and fonts from my own library. Even the first results were amazingly beautiful. Now I want to redesign an academic journal (the International Journal of Conflict and Violence, www.ijcv.org) that I currently set with tango (something like Scribus or InDesign). I have got most of my font working with ConTeXt, but this time I failed. I can not get the ITC Franklin Gothic working. My installation is ConTeXt standalone on linux mint. I installed the otf-fonts by copying them into the directory ~/context/tex/texmf-fonts/opentype/FranklinGothic/ . Then I run "mtxrun --generate" in the terminal. "mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=*franklin*" gives: itcfranklingothicstd itcfranklingothicstddmcp ITCFranklinGothicStd-DmCp.otf itcfranklingothicstdbkcp itcfranklingothicstdbkcp ITCFranklinGothicStd-BkCp.otf itcfranklingothicstdbkcpit itcfranklingothicstdbkcpit ITCFranklinGothicStd-BkCpIt.otf itcfranklingothicstdbold itcfranklingothicstddmcp ITCFranklinGothicStd-DmCp.otf itcfranklingothicstdbolditalic itcfranklingothicstddmcpit ITCFranklinGothicStd-DmCpIt.otf itcfranklingothicstddemi itcfranklingothicstddmcp ITCFranklinGothicStd-DmCp.otf itcfranklingothicstddmcp itcfranklingothicstddmcp ITCFranklinGothicStd-DmCp.otf itcfranklingothicstddmcpit itcfranklingothicstddmcpit ITCFranklinGothicStd-DmCpIt.otf itcfranklingothicstditalic itcfranklingothicstdbkcpit ITCFranklinGothicStd-BkCpIt.otf itcfranklingothicstdnormal itcfranklingothicstdbkcpit ITCFranklinGothicStd-BkCpIt.otf itcfranklingothicstdregular itcfranklingothicstdbkcp ITCFranklinGothicStd-BkCp.otf I thought that all font styles are available (but I only need Book Compressed, Book Compressed Italic, Demi Compressed, and Demi Compressed Italic). So, this is my not working example: %fonts for ijcv \setupbodyfontenvironment[default][em=italic] % \definefontfamily [ijcv-fonts] [serif] [Minion Pro] \definefontfamily [ijcv-fonts] [sans] [itcfranklingothicstd] % \definefontfeature [default] [default] [onum=yes] % \setupbodyfont[ijcv-fonts, 10.25pt] \setupinterlinespace[4.75mm] % \starttext Minion Pro 1234567890 \ss{ITC Franklin Gothic Book Compressed} \stoptext The problem is the fontname: [itcfranklingothicstd] doesn't work and I tried [ITC Franklin Gothic Std] and a lot of other spellings. I succeded with a lot of other fonts with this approach. What could I have done wrong? Thanks in advance Florian

Component of a product (correction!)

Hello, suppose the following case: ---- Book.mkiv \startproduct * \component A.mkiv \component B.mkiv \stopproduct ---- ---- A.mkiv \startcomponent * \section{A} \stopcomponent ---- ---- B.mkiv \startcomponent * \section{B} \stopcomponent ---- When compiling "Book.mkiv", I'm getting the following sections (obviously): 1. A 2. B Similarly, when compiling "A.mkiv", I'm getting: 1. A and for "B.mkiv": 1. B But: is there a way to say to ConTeXt - when compiling just B.mkiv - that B.mkiv is supposed to be a part of a product (Book.mkiv) and so that the chapter should be numbered from 2, so to get: 2. B ... <<<--- Correction here compared with the previous mail ? I supposed that project/product/component abilities of ConTeXt were mentioned for this, but...? Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

How to typeset differential (math)?
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 17 Jun '15

17 Jun '15

Hello, how to typeset differential in math correctly? Here are my attempts: ---- \definemathcommand[dif][nolop]{\mfunction{d}} % Based on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Math/functions \starttext \startformula \sin x {\tf d} x \stopformula \startformula \sin x \dif x \stopformula \stoptext ---- But: - case 1: there is no space between "d" and "x" (should be similar to that between "sin" and "x") - case 2: "d" in the formula is shifted down (?!) somehow. So - ? Other questions: I need to typeset some math text. - Variables should be typeset slanted, which is OK (see "x" in the example). - Functions (sin, log... "d" in df/dx) should be typeset non-slanted - I guess \definemathcommand is supposed for this (or is there a better way?). - Vector variables should be typeset bold slanted - is there a special command for this? (\vec adds arrow above the expression, so it is not supposed for this). Thank you in advance. Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

Problem with rfc4180splitter in last beta?
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 15 Jun '15

15 Jun '15

Hi Hans, I encountered while experimenting with the latest beta version of standalone context to a problem when using the splitter. When I process without header file then compilation crashed when you compile the latest beta version. Conversely, the processing of a header file is no problem. ConTEXt while compiling the 2014 TL is fine in both cases. I do not know from which beta version was a problem, I discovered it by accident until now. Send minimal example. When gCSVHeader = true everything is OK when it is gCSVHeader = false and compilation fails. Thanx for any advice Jaroslav Hajtmar Here is my minimal version of problematic example: % csvfile.txt content: % first,second,third,fourth % 1,"2","3","4" % "a","b","c","d" % "foo","bar""baz","boogie","xyzzy" % \starttext \startluacode --gCSVHeader=true -- works fine when compiled any version of ConTeXt gCSVHeader=false -- crashed, when compiled by last beta version of standalone gColNames={} gColumnNames={} local inpcsvfile='csvfile.txt' local currentlyprocessedcsvfile = io.loaddata(inpcsvfile) local mycsvsplitter = utilities.parsers.rfc4180splitter{ separator = ',', quote = '"', } if gCSVHeader then gTableRows, gColumnNames = mycsvsplitter(currentlyprocessedcsvfile,true) inspect(gTableRows) inspect(gColumnNames) for i=1,#gTableRows[1] do gColNames[tostring(gColumnNames[i])] = i -- for indexing use end else gTableRows = mycsvsplitter(currentlyprocessedcsvfile) inspect(gTableRows) -- ad now set column names for withoutheader situation: for i=1,#gTableRows[1] do context(gTableRows[i]) gColumnNames[i]='c'..(i) end end gNumRows=#gTableRows -- Getting number of rows gNumCols=#gTableRows[1] -- Getting number of columns context.setgvalue("numrows",tostring(gNumRows)) context.setgvalue("numcols",tostring(gNumCols)) context.setgvalue("filename",tostring(inpcsvfile)) \stopluacode File \filename\ has \numrows\ lines and \numcols\ columns. \stoptext
