TikZ modules are missing \startmodule
by Christoph Reller 08 Dec '17

08 Dec '17

Hi, Since a module nesting check has been introduced in file-mod.mkvi, the TikZ modules provoke "module wrapping error" messages in the log file. May I kindly ask the maintainer of the TikZ modules to insert the missing \startmodule command in the following files: <context-base>\tex\texmf-modules\tex\context\pgf\basiclayer\t-pgf.tex <context-base>\tex\texmf-modules\tex\context\pgf\basiclayer\t-pgfbim.tex <context-base>\tex\texmf-modules\tex\context\pgf\basiclayer\t-pgfcor.tex <context-base>\tex\texmf-modules\tex\context\pgf\frontendlayer\t-tikz.tex <context-base>\tex\texmf-modules\tex\context\pgf\math\t-pgfmat.tex <context-base>\tex\texmf-modules\tex\context\pgf\systemlayer\t-pgfsys.tex <context-base>\tex\texmf-modules\tex\context\pgf\utilities\t-pgfcal.tex <context-base>\tex\texmf-modules\tex\context\pgf\utilities\t-pgffor.tex <context-base>\tex\texmf-modules\tex\context\pgf\utilities\t-pgfkey.tex <context-base>\tex\texmf-modules\tex\context\pgf\utilities\t-pgfmod.tex <context-base>\tex\texmf-modules\tex\context\pgf\utilities\t-pgfrcs.tex Kind regards, Christoph

WYSIWYM editor on top of ConTeXt / Lout
by Jonas Baggett 07 Dec '17

07 Dec '17

Hi everyone, This is a blog post I recently published: https://jonas17b.wixsite.com/monsite/home/wysiwym-editor-on-top-of-context-…. It is about some ideas I have for a WYSIWYM editor like LyX, but it would be designed for using more than 1 backend (e.g. ConTeXt, Lout), and to give a much better user experience. Anyone interested by the concept? Cheers, Jonas

Re: [NTG-context] LuaTeX: Weird GC behaviour
by Shreevatsa R 07 Dec '17

(Hope this gets threaded with the previous two messages...) I was the one who asked the question (https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/404617) Another thing I'd like to mention is that after a while `io.lines` simply returned nil, and the second and third return values (error message and error code) that io.lines is supposed to return in case of error were also nil. Even if this issue is not perfectly fixed (i.e. even if io.lines cannot be made to close the file descriptor when it reaches the end of file), I think it would be preferable to throw a clear error when there's a failure to open a new file, instead of silently (and in a not 100% reproducible way) returning nil.

Re: [NTG-context] Typefile with Chinese, Korean or Japanase text
by Jeong Dal 06 Dec '17

Dear Wim, There were a lot of discussions during the night. For the use CJK, I think that Wolfgang’s example is good enough(Nanum fonts are free). Here is another simple way. In 2012, Hans included a typescript file for Un Fonts, you can use it just do “\setupbodyfont”. The good thing is you can handle Korean, Chinese, and Japanese together. I heard that Unfonts are included in TeXLive. If not, you can downloaded it. I hope that you have no problem to compile the follwoing code. Best regards, Dalyoung %%%%% \setupbodyfont[unfonts] \starttext %\typefile[C][]{cjk.asy} 한자와 일본어는 어떤가요? 학이시습지불역열호(學而時習之不亦說乎) 가령 蓄音機(축음기) → レコード(레코드) \stoptext

Typefile with Chinese, Korean or Japanase text
by Wim Neimeijer 06 Dec '17

06 Dec '17

I am writing a manual where I include code snippets with typefile. Some of the code snippets contain text in Japanese but don't appear in the PDF document as typefile seems to skip the Japanese characters MWE file cjk.asy ======== Label L; L = Label("\\begin{CJK}{UTF8}{gbsn}{\\CJKfamily{gbsn}여보세요 \\end{CJK}"); label(L); shipout(); main file ======= \starttext \typefile[C][]{cjk.asy} \stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] \startitemize[columns] and footnote

(And sorry for my slow response - spam filter was doing crazy things.) Your solution indeed makes the footnote appear at the right place. But the layout is not the same as with \startitemize[columns]. Consider: Text \footnote{Bla} \startcolumns \startitemize \dorecurse{8}{\item Item} \stopitemize \stopcolumns This results in 5 "Item"s in the left column and 3 "Item"s in the right column. On the other hand Text \footnote{Bla} \startitemize[columns] \dorecurse{8}{\item Item} \stopitemize results in 4 "Item"s in both columns, which IMHO is more correct. Don't you agree that \startitmize[columns] is buggy with respect to footnotes? Or is the [columns] parameter not supported anymore? Cheers, Christoph

LuaTeX: Weird GC behaviour
by Henri 05 Dec '17

05 Dec '17

Dear devs, This was asked on TeX.SX: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/404617 The example below runs perfectly fine in the normal Lua interpreter, but crashes in texlua because the maximum number of open file handles is exceeded. This seems to be a peculiarity of io.lines in texlua. Is there anything special to the implementation of it in LuaTeX? Cheers, Henri -- Create the file (once) local filename = 'luatexfilelimit.txt' local file = io.open(filename, "w") file:write("hello world\n") file:close() -- Print its contents (many times) for i = 1, 3000000 do print(string.format('Attempt %d', i)) for line in io.lines(filename) do print(line) end end

Hi all, contextgarden is full of letter examples. But even the first simple example here http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Letter#Example does not compile. mtx-context | current version: 2017.12.04 16:37 So I want to ask: What is the current approach for writing German style din letters? Ciao! juh

Modifying an existing letter style
by Michael Guravage 05 Dec '17

05 Dec '17

I am typesetting a letter using Wolfgang's letter module. I have a requirement that is not satisfied by any of the existing styles, namely that the to-address, i.e. the address, and the from-address, i.e., the header, need to start at the same height and be positioned next to one another. I am using the modified style and am trying to adjust the layout via he \setupletterstyle command without success. I have look at the sources and have seen how the elements of the various styles are stacked. All styles use the default style, which defines lefthead and righthead elements, but only the din styles and those styles derived from them seem to use these elements. Is there any way to acheive the required side-by-side layout short of cobbling together my own style? Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated. -- With kind regards, Michael Guravage

Re: [NTG-context] about \inframed[] in \defineenumeration
by Jeong Dal 05 Dec '17

Dear Hans, Thank you for the solution which works well. After adding a line “ text={\translate[en=Example, kr=예제]},” for Korean text, it works fine too. I understand the meaning of headcommand, numbercommand, and titlecommnad from your code more clearly. Thanks again for a quick solution. Best regards, Dalyoung > you need "numbercommand": > > \defineenumeration > [Example] > [headcommand={\framed[background=color,backgroundcolor=red]}, > numbercommand={\inframed[height=2ex,background=color,backgroundcolor=green]}, > titlecommand={\inframed[height=2ex,background=color,backgroundcolor=blue]}, > title=yes, > alternative=left, > before={\blank[big]}, > after=\blank] > > \starttext > \chapter{first} > \startExample{foo} > This is a test for enumeration. > \stopExample > \startExample > This is a test for enumeration. > \stopExample > \stoptext > > > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE > Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands > tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > > ------------------------------ > > Subject: Digest Footer > > ___________________________________________________________________________________ > If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! > > maillist : ntg-context(a)ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context > webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net > archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ > wiki : http://contextgarden.net > ___________________________________________________________________________________ > > ------------------------------ > > End of ntg-context Digest, Vol 162, Issue 8 > *******************************************
