MikTeX and ConTeXt
by Jonas Stein 23 Dec '10

23 Dec '10

http://wiki.contextgarden.net/MikTeX "ConTeXt is currently broken (possible to do some tweaking to make it work)" this was from 2008 so i suppose its outdated. Is that already fixed? (i can not test it as i have no windows operating system) Kind regards, -- Jonas Stein <news(a)jonasstein.de>

how to ask lua if glyph nr. x exists in current font
by Mojca Miklavec 23 Dec '10

23 Dec '10

Hello, I'm trying to decrypt the LuaTeX reference manual. I find it easy enough to read data about different fonts when using fontA = fontloader.open('a.otf') and then glyphs = fontloader.to_table(fontA).glyphs but I'm not able to figure out how to aks the same question about the font that is currently being used (in MKIV). I would like to know if a glyph with some Unicode value is present in the font or not. Thanks for the hints, Mojca

another cld question!
by Thomas A. Schmitz 23 Dec '10

23 Dec '10

Since y'all are playing with cld, here's my little question: how can I write me a language test? Here is what I've been playing with: \mainlanguage[fr] \starttext \startluacode function doit(s) if tex.language == 2 then context("ENGLISH: ") context.currentmainlanguage() context(s) else context("NOT ENGLISH:") context.currentmainlanguage() context(s) end end \stopluacode \define[1]\Test% {\ctxlua{doit("#1")}} \Test{French} \language[en] \Test{English} \stoptext But that doesn't seem quite right...

Problem with PDF generating module documentation in Ctx minimals
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 22 Dec '10

22 Dec '10

Hello all, I have problem with PDF generating module documentation. When I use command: context --autopdf --ctx=x-ldx.ctx t-fancybreak.mkiv, then is all right, but if I use commands: context --autopdf --ctx=s-mod.ctx --nomode t-fancybreak.mkiv context --autopdf --ctx=s-mod.ctx t-fancybreak.mkiv then I get compilation breaks and I get error message! I compiled using the latest beta version CTX minimals Even before the time everything worked well (in minimals)!!! During the compilation occurs in both cases the error: C:\1da\ConTeXt-MkIV\t-scancsv.mkiv>context --autopdf --ctx=s-mod.ctx --nomode t- scancsv.mkiv MTXrun | jobname: t-scancsv.mkiv MTXrun | ctxname: s-mod.ctx MTXrun | ctx comment: TeX Documentation Generator MTXrun | command: mtxrun --script modules --convert --prep t-scancsv.mkiv MTXrun | converting 't-scancsv.mkiv' to 't-scancsv.mkiv.prep' MTXrun | saving logdata in: t-scancsv.ctl MTXrun | run 1: luatex --fmt="C:/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/f5 3042fa2e1c106bc7e3383ec8c3a00c/formats/cont-en" --lua="C:/context/tex/texmf-cach e/luatex-cache/context/f53042fa2e1c106bc7e3383ec8c3a00c/formats/cont-en.lui" --b ackend=pdf "t-scancsv.run"This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.65.0-2010121421 (rev 40 34) \write18 enabled.

Dumb quotes and dashes, globally and in verbatim text
by Philipp A. 22 Dec '10

22 Dec '10

so i want to use ' and -- in my code, which is embedded via \starttyping \stoptyping, but that’s impossible. context replaces -- with – and ' with ’. that’s wrong. i need to be able to tell context it shouldn’t do any “smart” stuff, since i’m smart enough to press the ’-key if i want the character ’. so what i ask for: 1. we should change the standard behavior of context to “don’t replace --, ' and whatnot in verbatim areas” 2. we should be able to trigger this globally, for people who have a useful keyboard layout and can type “special” characters as fast as ascii. is the latter already built in somehow?

Fwd: ntg-context Digest, Vol 78, Issue 106

As usual Ulrike is correct. I got context beta working BUT I LOST lucida math even though lucida text is working. as an aside bibliography IS sorted on author which does NOT work in the "normal" MikTeX release just hacking my way through in my meager attempt to get a book published which was previously typeset in LaTeX Memoir so that I can use all these great facilities available within COnTeXt barny On Wed, Dec 22, 2010 at 4:21 PM, <ntg-context-request(a)ntg.nl> wrote: > Send ntg-context mailing list submissions to > ntg-context(a)ntg.nl > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > ntg-context-request(a)ntg.nl > > You can reach the person managing the list at > ntg-context-owner(a)ntg.nl > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of ntg-context digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Hi again, hm, I need to pass a \setupTABLE command ... context.setupTABLE({column}{each}{width=number.todimen(.041*tex.dimen.textwidth),align="flushright",offset="1pt"}) However this does not work. How must this be done? KR Willi

Hi Contexters! Consider the following snippet in a cld-file: context.framed({frame="on",width= "5cm"}, function() ... end ) This works fine so far. I would like to pass the width of the framed text in terms of a fraction of the textwidth e.g. .25\textwidth. How must this be coded? KR Willi

What's the proper way to typeset a slash in a text flow?
by Marco Pessotto 22 Dec '10

22 Dec '10

See the following minimal example (I'm not trying to typeset urls or filesystem paths in this way, just regular text): %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \def\myslash{/\penalty-5000} \starttext \type{/} {\bfd Love/Hate/Play/Love/Hate/Play/Love/Hate/Play/Love/Hate/Play} \type{\slash} {\bfd Love\slash Hate\slash Play\slash Love\slash Hate\slash Play\slash Love\slash Hate\slash Play\slash Love\slash Hate\slash Play} \type{\textslash} {\bfd Love\textslash Hate\textslash Play\textslash Love\textslash Hate\textslash Play\textslash Love\textslash Hate\textslash Play\textslash Love\textslash Hate\textslash Play} \type{\myslash} {\bfd Love\myslash Hate\myslash Play\myslash Love\myslash Hate\myslash Play\myslash Love\myslash Hate\myslash Play\myslash Love\myslash Hate\myslash Play} \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Neither one of the first three solutions above give me the right thing, because the line won't break at /. What am I missing? A workaround seems to be \def\myslash{/\penalty-5000} and then using \myslash instead of \slash, but I'm pretty sure I'm not doing this right. Thanks in advance -- Marco

Help to SPLIT TABLE caption numbering CORRECTLY
by barndog1946＠gmail.com 22 Dec '10

22 Dec '10

Hans, PLEASE take a look at \placetable and fix numbering so that when a long table is split the numbering is: 1 1 (continued) 1(continued) and while you are there could we get : open header on top of continued table and footer that states: table continued just like LaTeX \longtables Here is a minimal example for Hans, which shows correct numbering for split tables which is currently wrong for MkIV: \setuppapersize[A7][A7] \starttext \placetable [split] {Test 1} {\bTABLE \dorecurse{20}{\bTR\bTD #1 \eTD\eTR} \eTABLE} \placetable {Test 2} {\bTABLE \bTR\bTD 1 \eTD\eTR \eTABLE} \stoptext THANKS barney
