Error with export=yes
by Aditya Mahajan 06 May '11

06 May '11

Hi, The following gives an error: \setupbackend[export=yes] \starttext test \stoptext ! LuaTeX error ...minimals/texmf-context/tex/context/base/util-prs.lua:125: bad argument #2 to 'lpegmatch' (string expected, got boolean). system > tex > error on line 0 in file : LuaTeX error ... <empty file> <*> ./test ? Any ideas on how to fix this? Also, I looked at back-exp.mkiv and it appears that xhtml export is possible. If so, what is the command to enable it. (I am guessing \setupexport[export=yes, xhtml=yes] but cannot test it due to the above error). Aditya

arabic in xml

Dear All, I am working on a docbook file that includes fragments in Arabic, e.g.: <foreignphrase lang="ar">أشهد الا اله الا الله و ان محمدا رسول الله</foreignphrase> These can be found by means of the lpath code: \xmlsetsetup{#1}{foreignphrase[@lang='ar']}{xml:foreignphrase:arabic} Now I am not sure how to typeset them, I tried different methods: \startxmlsetups xml:foreignphrase:arabic %\setupdirections[bidi=local] \setarabic \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups Can anybody help me out here? Regards, Robert

Problem with arrows in latest mkiv (again)
by Otared Kavian 05 May '11

05 May '11

Hi Hans, I am sending again a message sent some two weeks ago, but probably it was lost… It seems that the latest beta (version 2011.05.01 12:50) has a problem with arrow in math mode, using Latin modern, while with Palatino the arrows are correct. Here is a minimal example and its PDF result (please look at the \longrightarrow in the PDF): \starttext Let $E,F$ be two Banach spaces and consider a linear operator $L : E \longrightarrow F$. \stoptext Best regards: OK

Plea for unicode help
by Oliver Buerschaper 05 May '11

05 May '11

Hi there, I'm experiencing a very strange error related to unicode at the moment and I can't pin down the problem for the life of me… The situation: I'm using context mkvi (2011.04.20 16:23) on Mac OS 10.6.7 (with the latest font patches in particular) and TeXShop 2.41. In my tex source file I have unicode letters with accents (like "clarín") and the file's encoding is set to UTF-8. It still looks like valid UTF-8 when opened with a different text editor, say SubEthaEdit or vim. The problem is, context compiles this to a PDF in which the accent is missing ("clarin"). The really strange thing happens now. I delete the offending letter and reenter it, in TeXShop there's *no* visual difference between before and after but the compiled pdf suddenly has the accent enabled again. I seem to remember that the missing accents issue didn't occur with a different font (Latin Modern vs. Minion Pro in context) for the *same* source. I'll have to check that again though. Has anyone seen this before? I wanted to ask up front before I really start digging into the issue… I might have missed something obvious. Many thanks, Oliver

[garden] captcha: zip-code of Hasselt?
by Philipp Gesang 05 May '11

05 May '11

Hi all, the wiki just asked me to verify my humanity through Hasselt’s zip code. From [1] I inferred that it would be the string “8061GH”, which was promptly rejected -- the next quiz proved to be easier and I finally won another wiki commit. Nevertheless I’d appreciate this mystery to be solved ;-) Have a fun day Philipp [1] http://pragma-ade.com/text-info.htm

bibliography basics
by Hagmann Jörg 05 May '11

05 May '11

I haven't used bibliographies before and have a few basic questions. I am using mkiv, current version: 2011.04.03 22:32. 1. If I interpret the wiki pages correctly, the bib module is not needed for mkiv. On the other hand, examples I found in the archive have "\usemodule[bib]" included, although (I think) they were meant for mkiv, and leaving it out didn't affect the outcome. Question: has \usemodule[bib] no function in mkiv, never? 2. Where can I get documentation? Can Taco's bib-module documentation still be used? (In my experiments in some cases, not in others). 3. The "very basic example" on contextgarden (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Bibliography_mkiv#Example_of_use) gave numbers in the text and an alphabetic list at the end. I added "\setuppublications[alternative=apa]". Would that be the way to do it? Please change it if there is something better (according to bibmod-doc, apa should be default). Thanks, Jörg

Custom cite commands
by Oliver Buerschaper 05 May '11

05 May '11

Dear all, I'm in need for a few custom cite commands like these: 1. \cite[alternative=authortitle, extras={, p.\,13}][citekey] should yield {\sc AuthorLastName}, AuthorFirstName, {\it title}, p.\,13 2. \cite[alternative=title][citekey] {\it title} How would I code these commands? Oliver

Index making
by Willi Egger 05 May '11

Hi all, Could some one tell me, why the index making in the following example does not come out as expected (as shown in the examplelines at the end)? \startluacode function Indexing(text) local data = text data = (string.gsub(data, ",", "+")) data = (string.gsub(data, "+ ", "+")) return data end \stopluacode \def\IndexItems#1{\index{\cldcontext{Indexing("#1")}}} \starttext We start with some text \IndexItems{Auto} We have then more text \IndexItems{Auto, motor} \IndexItems{Auto, carburator} Then we add non macro indexes: \index{Glass lamp} \index{Glass lamp+bulb} \index{Glass lamp+bulb+wire} \blank[3cm] \placeregister[index] \stoptext Thanks, Willi

intertext error in mkiv
by Vladimir Lomov 05 May '11

Hi. The example with start/stopintertext from 'mathalign.pdf' (My Way, Using \startalign and friends, Aditya Mahajan) gives error with current context (beta): <example file="ex2.tex"> %%% Seems that there is a problem with \start/stopintertext . This command is described in mathalign.pdf %%% (MyWay). \starttext Here the start/stopintertext should give text between formulas \startformula \startalign \NC \exp^{\imath t}=\cos t+\imath\sin t\NR \startintertext This is famous Euler formula, below one is known as Moivre formula \stopintertext \NC (\cos x + \imath\sin x)^{m} = \cos mx+\imath\sin mx \NR \stopalign \stopformula That's it. \stoptext </example> <error_message> !

Still wrestling with multiplication tables
by Alasdair McAndrew 04 May '11

04 May '11

Hello again, So I decide to try with tables: \starttable[|m|m|m|m|m|m|m|m|m|] \NC \VL I\NC R\NC R^2\NC R^3\NC F\NC FR\NC FR^2\NC FR^3\AR \HL \NC I \VL I\NC R\NC R^2\NC R^3\NC F\NC FR\NC FR^2\NC FR^3\NR \NC R\VL R\NC R^2\NC R^3\NC I\NC FR\NC FR^2\NC FR^3\NC F\NR \NC R^2\VL R^2\NC R^3\NC I\NC R\NC FR^2\NC FR^3\NC F\NC FR\NR \NC R^3\VL R^3\NC I\NC R\NC R^2\NC FR^3\NC F\NC FR\NC FR^2\NR \NC F\VL F\NC FR^3\NC FR^2\NC FR\NC I\NC R^3\NC R^2\NC R\NR \NC FR\VL FR\NC F\NC FR^3\NC FR^2\NC R\NC I\NC R^3\NC R^2\NR \NC FR^2\VL FR^2\NC FR\NC F\NC FR^3\NC R^2\NC R\NC I\NC R^3\NR \NC FR^3\VL FR^3\NC FR^2\NC FR\NC F\NC R^3\NC R^2\NC R\NC I\NR \stoptable This almost works, yet in the pdf output ("texexec"), there's an extra column at the right full of "[missing column]". What's going on here? Actually, so far the best I've managed to do was to whip up a plain basic array, and then insert two lines with TiKZ. Clumsy, but so far it's the only thing I've got to work... -Alasdair
