Nested modes and itemizations
by Christoph Reller 17 Nov '16

17 Nov '16

Hi, I have the following minimal not-working example: \starttext \startitemize \item One \startmode[modeA] \item Two \startitemize \startmode[modeB] % <- this \item Two A % <- does \stopmode % <- not work % \doifmode{modeB}{\item Two A} % <- this works \item Two B \stopitemize \stopmode \stopitemize \stoptext Note that both modeA and modeB are not defined and hence not enabled. When compiled with the latest version of ConTeXt MkIV, I get: Missing number, treated as zero. However, If I use the inline version \doifmode instead of the environment version \startmode \stopmode, then the example compiles without problem. I am afraid but this may be a bug. Cheers, Christoph

Pdf info: width, height and rotation
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. 17 Nov '16

17 Nov '16

Hello, two questions about pages in PDF document (slightly refers to the code http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg57502.html): ---- local MyDocument = lpdf.epdf.load("A4.pdf") context.starttext() local pages = MyDocument.pages local dummy = MyDocument.pages[1] -- we need lua 5.2 in order to avoid this local nofpages = #MyDocument.pages context.starttabulate { "|c|c|c|" } context.NC() context("page") context.NC() context("width") context.NC() context("height") context.NR() for i=1, nofpages do local page = pages[i] local bbox = page.CropBox or page.MediaBox context.NC() context(i) context.NC() context(bbox[4]-bbox[2]) context.NC() context(bbox[3]-bbox[1]) context.NR() end context.stoptabulate() context.stoptext() ---- The sample gives: w ~ 842 pt, h ~ 595 pt Questions: 1. Shouldn't be width and height swapped? As the analyzed 'A4.pdf' has width of 210 mm and height of 297 mm, IOW width < height, whilst the cld code gives w > h (?!). 2. Is it possible to get rotation or orientation of the page (be "portrait" or "landscape" or "0" or "90" or so)? 3. Is the 'bbox' already affected by the page rotation/orientation? I mean - in the case page orientation is 90 or 270, is the width and height of 'bbox' swapped compared to the situation if page orientation was 0 (or 180)? Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

directlua in xml-environment
by Meer, Hans van der 17 Nov '16

17 Nov '16

Here is something I do not understand. Possibly I am doing something wrong. The following code is fine, within <<>> the current contextversion is printed. \def\mymacro{\directlua{tex.print("\\contextversion")}} \starttext calling mymacro <<\mymacro>>\par \stoptext However calling \mymacro from inside \startxmlsetup .. \stopxmlsetup does not work and results in <<\contextversion>>. I guess that the catcode regime in that environment is to blame. But how do I change that in order to get things working? I looked into the LuaTeX-manual where catcodes in relation to tex.print are treated, but in vain and could not find how to. What do I have to change? Hans van der Meer

Combo fonts in MKIV
by Henri Menke 15 Nov '16

15 Nov '16

Dear list, On http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/314401/10995 I saw that LuaTeX has support for combo fonts where one can select different fonts and features for selected glyph ranges. Is there an interface in MKIV for that? I couldn’t find anything in fonts-mkiv.pdf. Cheers, Henri

Another question about definerefereformat
by Benjamin Buchmuller 13 Nov '16

13 Nov '16

Here is another question, I was wondering about. What is the ConTeXt’s way to provide the “right” (or “left”) argument when \definereferenceformat[text=…] is set? Starting from this example: \starttext \definereferenceformat[infig][text={Figure }] \startplacefigure[reference=fig:A] Some figure. \stopplacefigure This is \infig[fig:A]. \stoptext I would like to output “This is Figure 1 a.” Obviously I can type “This is \infig[fig:A]\,a.” to get the desired result; however it does not seem very “ConTeXt-ish” to me as “This is \in{Figure}{a}[fig:A].” is much more concise. Is there the possibility to have something like \infig[right=a][fig:A]? Thanks again. Benjamin

Setupreferencing[interaction=text] breaks referenceformat[text={…}]
by Benjamin Buchmuller 13 Nov '16

13 Nov '16

Hi, I’m not sure if this is the intended behaviour of the system, but I want to typeset “This is Figure 1.1 in Chapter A Good Story” in the attached minimal example. However, setting up the referencing interaction to text, this typesets “This is 1.1 in Chapter A Good Story”. The same holds true, when the reference format is not defined via \definereferenceformat, but also in \in{Figure}[fig:A]. Here is the minimal example: \starttext \setupreferencing[ left={}, right={}, interaction=text, % critical ] \definereferenceformat[infig][text={Figure }] \chapter[myreference]{A Good Story} \startplacefigure[reference=fig:A] Some figure. \stopplacefigure This is \infig[fig:A] in Chapter \about[myreference]. \stoptext Thank you very much for your help.

Problem with lucida
by Eric Detrez (Info) 12 Nov '16

12 Nov '16

I've got a curious problem with lucida. Characters have ascii code shifted by -1 (note the kerning) Minimal example : \usetypescript[lucida] \setupbodyfont[lucida,10pt,rm] \starttext abcdefgh \stoptext I join the pdf file with the result. Other fonts are fine in context, Lucida fonts are fine with Latex ...

\xmlchainatt behaviour
by Meer, Hans van der 11 Nov '16

11 Nov '16

I might be doing wrong, but for now I have the strong impression that \xmlchainatt is at fault. It does not break the callchain as soon as a match is found. Also according the manual xml-mkiv, \xmlchainatt{#1}{testx}{no-test} should return "no-test" but returns nothing. I would very much helped if these macros react is I thin they should. Is this my fault? Hans van der Meer Minimal example % test chainttribute failure. \startxmlsetups demo:chainatt \xmlsetsetup{#1}{root|node|innernode}{demo:chainatt:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregisterdocumentsetup{demo}{demo:chainatt} \startxmlsetups demo:chainatt:root root: xmlatt <test> = <\xmlatt{#1}{test}>\crlf root: xmlchainatt <test> = <\xmlchainatt{#1}{test}>\crlf \xmlall{#1}{*} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups demo:chainatt:node -- node: xmlatt test = <\xmlatt{#1}{test}>\crlf -- node: xmlchainatt <node> = \xmlchainatt{#1}{test}\crlf -- node: xmlchainattdef <node> = \xmlchainattdef{#1}{notest}{no-test}\crlf \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups demo:chainatt:innernode ---- innernode: xmlatt test = <\xmlattdef{#1}{test}{nono}>\crlf ---- innernode: xmlchainatt <test> = \xmlchainatt{#1}{test}\crlf \stopxmlsetups \startbuffer[chainatt] <root test="abc"> <node test="pqr"> <innernode test="xyz"/> </node> </root> \stopbuffer \starttext \ConTeXt-version=\contextversion\blank Manual on xml-mkiv page 22 on \tex{xmlchainatt} reads: returns the value of attribute NAME or empty if no such attribute exists; backtracks till a match is found\blank \xmlprocessbuffer{demo}{chainatt}{}\blank However, does not stop when backtracking finds "a match". \stoptext

Chemical reaction...
by Willi Egger 11 Nov '16

11 Nov '16

I am busy to edit an older article in which there are a couple of chemical fromulas and reactions. However, I am stuck because the following throws me an error when uncommenting the line with “\chemical{2H^\oplus}{~waterstof (zuur)}” (something with $ inserted…) Another aspect is, that the {DEZ} does not appear. Further the {zinkion} and {ethan} appear not as text under the formula but as text next to it. \starttext \placeformula \startformula \chemical{(C_2H_5)_2Zn}{DEZ} \chemical{PLUS} % \chemical{2H^\oplus} {waterstof (zuur)} \chemical{GIVES} \chemical{Zn^{2\oplus}}{zinkion} \chemical{PLUS} \chemical{2(C_2H_6)}{ethan} \stopformula \stoptext Thank you for hints, what I am missing here… Kind regards Willi
