Hi, I uploaded a beta. Quite some of the file related code has been cleaned up but as Taco and I can make a format and process a file, I decided to upload anyway.

writebetweenlist regression (mkiv)
by Marco 14 Dec '10

14 Dec '10

Hello there. Currently \writebetweenlist doesn't work as advised. It inserts the argument before the last entry of the list. The minimal example is provided by the reference itself. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Reference/en/writebetweenlist The rule is correctly inserted at http://live.contextgarden.net/ and in the ConTeXt shipped with TeXlive 2010 (2010.05.24), but not with the current beta and the 2010.07.30 version. mkii works fine. It prints --rule-- List entry A List entry B Best regards -- Marco

installation on debian testing
by Jonas Stein 14 Dec '10

14 Dec '10

Hi, context in debian testing is quite old (2009) will that destroy my packagemanager or is it a good idea, to try this: purge the installed context as root run # checkinstall bash then the commands of http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals#System-wide_installation -- Jonas Stein <news(a)jonasstein.de>

winter cleanup in the wiki
by Jonas Stein 14 Dec '10

14 Dec '10

Hi, there are (were) many duplicate installation pages in the wiki. I merged some and deleted a lot duplicate stuff. The work is not finished yet. i created a new category in the wiki: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Category:deleteme These articles are merged to others and no longer needed. Is the part about Configuration files still up to date? http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Installation_hints Its last edited in 2008 and links to manuals from 2001 and 2003. Kind regards, -- Jonas Stein <news(a)jonasstein.de>

How about a forum
by Achim Jander 14 Dec '10

14 Dec '10

Hi everybody, I am trying to get into Context again. The documentation seems to be somewhat better than one year ago (my last attempt) but still very suboptimal. Many information (as well on Contextgarden as on Pragma) is outdated, for example, the xml document on Pragma is dated 2001, the "first document" on the context wiki does not mention mkiv (ok, at least now there is a hint that something should be done about that). For a newbie like me, the best chance of information seems to be the mailing-list, where one can find a lot of gems. After spending this cold and snowy sunday afternoon with the mailing-list (and i got no further than to september 2010) I am wondering why there ist no forum for Context. I spend a lot of time getting into new themes, and I always like the functions of forums. I think in a forum the acces to the relavant information could be very quicklier than in a Mailing-List - which is in my opinion a relict of the information possibilities of the 1990 (last century, only a minute away from the middle ages :-). Dont get me wrong, I like the unbelievable support which is done on the mailing-list, but i think today there could be more efficient possibilities. Any suggestions on that? Thanks, Achim

xml: test for attribute
by Thomas Schmitz 13 Dec '10

13 Dec '10

Hi all, I thought I had done this and it was easy, but I can't find a solution: I want to test whether a xml tag has an attribute and vary the typeset content accordingly. There used to be \xmldoifelseempty, but that has been commented out (lxml-ini.mkiv). What else could I use? Here's a small test that shows what I'm trying to do: \startbuffer[test] <a> <b>some text</b> <b important="different">more text</b> </a> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups xml:testsetups \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{a|b}{xml:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:testsetups} \startxmlsetups xml:a \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:b \xmldoifelse{#1}{./[@important]} %\doifemptyelse{\expanded{\xmlatt{#1}{important}}} {\color[darkred]{NOTEMPTY: \xmlatt{#1}{important}}\par} {\color[darkblue]{EMPTY: \xmlflush{#1}\par}} \stopxmlsetups \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{test}{} \stoptext Hints appreciated! All best Thomas
