Access figure data?
by Brian Wedde 15 Oct '10

15 Oct '10

Is there any way to get access to the data about external figures? I would like to know the pixel height/width of the actual image. [I am trying to typeset a mass of html-based documents with images using a series of scripts. The images need to be positioned somewhat like they would be on the screen. However, the html itself carries no info about the image.]

How to call a ctx command with parameters from Lua
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 15 Oct '10

15 Oct '10

Hello, this thing was probably shown during last Ctx meeting, but I can't remember the answer. Let's ave the Ctx code: \typefile[default]{Myfile.txt} and I'd need to call this command by Lua, like: \startluacode context.typefile("MyFile.txt") \stoluacode But how to pass the "[default]" option? I remember that key-value pairs are passed by tables (context.cmd{key="val"}), but how in this case? Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.

Sorry, for my initial vagueness: I want the exercises in part 5, chapter 3 of the syllabus to come out as: Exercise 5.3.1 etc. Right now, on a per chapter basis I get: Exercise 1 etc. Hope this helps. -- Bela Mulder Group Leader Theory of Biomolecular matter FOM Institute AMOLF Science Park 104, 1098XG Amsterdam, THE NETHERLANDS Tel: + 31 20 7547100 FAX: + 31 20 7547290 web: http://www.amolf.nl/research/theory_of_biomolecular_matter/

Titles that spill out
by Brian Wedde 14 Oct '10

14 Oct '10

Here is a simple section header. It runs way out of the margin. Any idea why? I do not want hyphenation. Words that run over the boundary should be skipped to the next line down. Why does it not do that here? Also note that if i change "flushleft" to "middle", it works fine (except that i don't want it middle-aligned!) \setuphead[section][align={flushleft,nothyphenated}] \starttext \showgrid \section{XXX XXXX XX XXXXXXXX XXX XXXXXX XXX XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXX XXX} \stoptext %%%%% Here's another similar example: \setuplayout[ width=6.5in ] \setupbodyfont[ 10pt,rm ] \definebodyfont [10pt] [rm] [ hh=Regular sa 1.85 ] \setupheads[ align={flushleft,nothyphenated}, tolerance=strict ] \setuphead[section][ number=no, textstyle=\hh ] \starttext \showgrid \section{XXX XXXX XX XXXXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XX XXXX XXXXXXX XXX} \stoptext Thanks for your help.

mnmls under windows
by Philipp Gesang 14 Oct '10

14 Oct '10

Hi all, I just discovered that the windows pcs in the library have certain adobe stuff installed that comes with a neat collection of adobe fonts. So I thought I’d want to use them in context and prepared a minimals for windows on a usb stick using wine. I haven’t used windows in ages so I’d like to ask some questions before I actually start testing. 1. Why is there an mtxrun.exe binary in addition to the lua script? 2. How large will texmf-cache grow when all the fonts from an indesign installation are indexed (it’s a small stick and context resides next to a linux on it)? 3. Anything I should be aware of where windows context behaves differently from linux? Thanks for your time and expertise, Philipp -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments

Multiple bibliographies (reminder)
by Florian Wobbe 14 Oct '10

14 Oct '10

Hi Taco, hi Philipp, I need to place two different publication lists in different locations inside the same document. This has been asked before in April and there was the following suggestion: \chapter{one} \placepublications[database=first] \chapter{two} \placepublications[database=second] Is something like this implemented already? If not I'd kindly ask you, Philipp, to help me with your lua-sed-shell-magic. Thanks! Best wishes, Florian

structuresectionstarterset ?

Hi, as definestructureconversionset is such a convenient command, could we also have the accompanying structuresectionstarterset and structuresectionstopperset? \definestructureconversionset [default] [ ,Characters,Romannumerals,Numbers,characters,charcharacters] [numbers] \definestructuresectionstarterset [default] [ , , , , ,{(}] [{.}] \definestructuresectionstopperset [default] [ ,{.},{.},{)},{)},{)}] [{.}] Best wishes, Steffen

structure sanity checks
by Alan BRASLAU 14 Oct '10

14 Oct '10

Using \startchapter\stopchapter or \startitem\stopitem could present some logical advantage over the use of \chapter or \item, for example. However, it would be useful to have some sort of sanity check giving warnings at least if the \start\stop symmetry is violated. As a minimal example, the following simple case of one logical error leads to an undesired result. Of course, you get what you asked, but some sort of warning could be useful. Or, rather, is the general philosophy to silently pass over such errors so as not to load down the log in the face of such user errors? Indeed, under ConTeXt, unknown or incorrect arguments are simply ignored. (in other cases, for example forgetting \stoptext, ConTeXt protests vocally) Alan \starttext \startitemize [n] \startitem first \startitem \startitem second \stopitem \stopitemize \stoptext

section kills break ?

Hi, Is this a known issue? Without chapter the linebreak "\\" works. With a section header before it fails. Steffen ------- \starttext %\chapter{test} % <- un-/comment \starttabulate[|p|p|] \NC test\\test \NC text \NC\NR \stoptabulate \stoptext
