searching in the source browser
by Henning Hraban Ramm 06 Sep '22

06 Sep '22

Hi, this is probably for Taco: Is there a possibility in the source browser to search for macros (\something) or anything containing dots (logs.errors)? Because neither “simple” nor with Lua patterns I get any results. E.g. I wanted to look for all trackers and/or directives. Hraban

Quick way to proofread / check index entries?
by Bruce Horrocks 04 Sep '22

04 Sep '22

My own fault for not thinking head :-) but I have a largeish text with a lot of \index{...} entries. To make life easier for the proofreader I would like to temporarily redefine \index to wrap it or replace it with something that will highlight indexed items in the text where they occur, e.g. change their colour. I could do this with a global find and replace (across many files) to replace \index with \MyIndex, say, and then define a \MyIndex that understands the various parameter options but this is a hassle. Before I do this, is there anything already pre-built? The ultimate aim is to enable a proofreader to see each indexed term where it appears in order to judge whether the term deserves to be in the index at all. (Working backwards from the index itself is possible but clicking a page number, trying to find the term on the page, then reading the context to make a decision is quite hard work - much easier to read through and deal with the terms as they appear.) — Bruce Horrocks Hampshire, UK

Re: [NTG-context] zint module on LMTX
by Ivan Pešić 04 Sep '22

Hi Michal and Hans, My LuaMetaTeX version (and ConTeXt LMTX...) was from 18.04.2022. That was the reason... As soon as I installed the fresh version, it started working properly, even with my library build. So next time before writing to list, I'll do the update and check first ;) That is a native Windows build using cmake in VS 2019. Hans, you can pass option to cmake and build zint without libpng like Michal's version... Mine has is, but it doesn't work :-) But I will certainly use your and Hans' recommendation of cross-compiling in wsl. Much less headache... Thanks for all the tips! Ivan

Hi Pablo, I'm resurrecting this thread, as I've just managed to get some progress on Windows with zint in LMTX. The thing is that you need 64-bit DLL, because LuaMetaTex is built for 64-bit architecture on Windows. As it is not available, I built 64-bit zint.dll (and zlib + libpng) from the latest git sources (2.11.1.9 (dev)), renamed it to libzint.dll and placed in appropriate place, as per the instructions. But there are still some problems... here is the excerpt from the log: modules > using user prefixed file 'libs-imp-zint' modules > 'zint' is loaded open source > level 2, order 3, name 'c:/Data/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/libs-imp-zint.mkxl' resolvers > lua > loading file 'c:/Data/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/libs-imp-zint.lmt' succeeded close source > level 2, order 3, name 'c:/Data/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/libs-imp-zint.mkxl' optional > using library 'c:/Data/context/tex/texmf-win64/bin/lib/luametatex/zint/libzint.dll' zint > something went wrong: invalid result vector zint > something went wrong: invalid result vector backend > xmp > using file 'c:/Data/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/lpdf-pdx.xml' pages > flushing realpage 1, userpage 1, subpage 1 zint > something went wrong: invalid result vector zint > something went wrong: invalid result vector zint > something went wrong: invalid result vector zint > something went wrong: invalid result vector zint > something went wrong: invalid result vector zint > something went wrong: invalid result vector I tested the library with the generated CLI tool, and I get the barcode images created. Although, png format is not working, I get file with length 0 and no error whatsoever. It could be that there is something wrong with the build, I'll try to figure out.

Issue with setupMPvariables

Dear all, I'm trying to reuse some MP code for several custom enumeration. However I can't make the overall setup work, needless to say different border colors for each enumeration though setupMPvariables. What am I missing? MWE: see attachment

Question about text backgrounds
by Alexandre Christe 03 Sep '22

03 Sep '22

Hi, I just came across nofmultipars (which is great for splitting frames across pages, unlike a simple framed). Is there an equivalent for floats? The MWE would contain \startuseMPgraphic{mp:textFrame} begingroup; path p ; for i = 1 upto nofmultipars : p := (ulcorner multipars[i]) -- (llcorner multipars[i]) -- (llcorner multipars[i] xshifted .25cm) -- (ulcorner multipars[i] xshifted .25cm) -- cycle ; fill p withcolor "darkgreen" ; endfor; endgroup; \stopuseMPgraphic together with \definetextbackground [exampleFrame] [ mp=mp:textFrame, location=paragraph, ] Assuming I have between \starttextbackground[exampleFrame] and \starttextbackground[exampleFrame] also a figure in addition to text paragraphs. Would it be possible to also draw a rule next to it? Best regards, Alex

Is rendering furigana over horizontal or vertical japanese text doable in ConTeXt?
by amano.kenji 03 Sep '22

Typesetting furigana over kanji characters is common for japanese educational materials. Is this doable in ConTeXt?
