from xml into buffer
by Hans van der Meer 09 Mar '10

09 Mar '10

I get an error with the code below. Is it (im)possible to fill a buffer from xml-processing in this manner? Or is there another way? The xml: <description>contents of description</description> The setups: \startxmlsetups xml:case:description \startbuffer[BESCHRIJVING] \xmlflush{#1} \stopbuffer \stopxmlsetups The error message: Runaway argument? \xmlflush {dvd::24}\stopbuffer \startcase \dvdfrontpagina [\PAGEFIGURE \ETC. ! File ended while scanning use of \dododowithbuffer. ConTeXt ver: 2010.03.02 12:34 MKIV fmt: 2010.3.8 int: english/english Hans van der Meer

using otf fonts with MKIV
by Michael Saunders 09 Mar '10

09 Mar '10

I think this should be possible. I'm trying to follow: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Fonts_in_LuaTex I have set OSFONTDIR and run mtxrun --script font --reload. The output looks like: MTXrun | fontnames: identifying tree font files with suffix otf MTXrun | fontnames: identifying tree font files with suffix OTF MTXrun | fontnames: 161 tree files identified, 0 hash entries added, runtime ... MTXrun | fontnames: 0 system files identified, 0 hash entries added, runtime 0.135 seconds MTXrun | fontnames: 60 files rejected due to clashes MTXrun | fontnames: 635 double lookups in mappings MTXrun | fontnames: 169 double lookups in fallbacks The next step, mtxrun --script fonts --list returns "not supported". I supposed that the documentation was wrong and finally struck on mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern=* which seems to know of only one font file, though I have over 1000 in the folder.

columns and whitespace
by James Fisher 08 Mar '10

08 Mar '10

There was a thread about columns and whitespace ~ 2 weeks ago, but I wasn't a subscriber then. I've just come across it independently myself. I'm not sure what conclusion was come to. From a few tests, I'd characterize the problem code in \startcolumns as: "if whitespace has been set to more than none, set whitespace to 'line'." Try it by uncommenting various lines: %\setupwhitespace[none] %\setupwhitespace[small] \starttext \startcolumns[n=2] %\setupwhitespace[small] \input knuth \stopcolumns \stoptext Do people agree with that characterization; has the bug been found; what's being done about it? I don't want to have to re-setup whitespace every time I go to columns. James

Working with Arabic
by Graham Douglas 08 Mar '10

08 Mar '10

Firstly, hello to all listmembers from a new member and first-time poster --- please excuse any accidental breach of list etiquette in my initial postings :-) I would just like to start by saying a huge thank-you to Hans, Taco and the LuaTeX team for producing this wonderful, facinating, piece of software. Thanks also to whoever wrote the rsynch-based installation of the ConTeXt minimals, it worked **beautifully** on my Windows Vista laptop. I've come back to using TeX after a gap of a few years and I have to say that I am quite addicted to LuaTeX already. I have, in the recent past, programmed (mostly as a hobby) in C, Perl, PostScript etc --- so I am very keen to learn more about LuaTeX, and get to grips with it. There is much to learn, I am sure! My personsal interest is to use LuaTeX as a tool in my (self-teaching) studies of learning Arabic. Incidentally, that is how I discovered LuaTeX, through the videos of Idris' talks at the River-Valley site. Specifically, I want to keep notes of my Arabic studies in a nice way, so LuaTeX looks perfect for that. And so to my question. I would very much like to explore using (or writing (eventually...)???) commands that let me "format" Arabic words etc as part of my notes. I have not explored this yet, so I apologise if this is already possible 'out of the box'. I just wanted to ask the experts here, before spending too much time exploring the wrong things! For example, I would like to be able to use colour with certain glyphys in (any location) within Arabic words. For example \somecommand{Arabic text} where \somecommand{...} would (for example) put certain glyphs in colour --- particularly for grammar, where you are writing out verb tables, or dual/plural endings for adjectives/nouns etc. In essence, where do I need to start exploring to be able to write such things --- LuaTeX node processing, colour attributes etc?? Any pointers or guidance to help me start looking in the right place would be very welcome. Warm wishes to all Graham Douglas

XML processing not understood
by Hans van der Meer 08 Mar '10

08 Mar '10

Starting the typesetting in mkiv of xml data I cannot get a simple example working. I studied both the recent MyWay document and Hans Hagens xml-mkiv reference manual (especially page 11). From these I concocted the following simple test: file typeset from TeXShop is dvd-setup.tex containing: \startxmlsetups xml:dvdsetups \xmlsetsetup{dvdsetups}{*}{-} \xmlsetsetup{dvdsetups}{dvd|title|subtitle}{xml:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:dvdsetups} % also not working: {dvdsetups} \startxmlsetups xml:dvd \Filenumber{\xmlatt{#1}{filenumber}} \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:title \Title{\xmlflush{#1}} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:subtitle \Subtitle{\xmlflush{#1}} \stopxmlsetups \def\Filenumber#1{Filenumber = \quotation{#1}\crlf} \def\Title#1{Title = \quotation{#1}\crlf} \def\Subtitle#1{Subtitle = \quotation{#1}\crlf} \starttext \xmlprocessfile{dvd}{dvd.xml}{} \stoptext \endinput The file dvd.tex contains the following data: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <dvd filenumber="D001"> <title>Title</title> <subtitle>subtitle</subtitle> </dvd> The result is a single ouput line with on it: Title subtitle That is just the data inside the dvd nodes. What am I doing wrong here? version recently loaded:ConTeXt ver: 2010.03.02 12:34 MKIV fmt: 2010.3.8 int: english/english Hans van der Meer

including xml files
by Philipp Gesang 08 Mar '10

08 Mar '10

Hi all, what is the recommended way of including an xml tree from one file in another? Right now I'm stuck with the following \startxmlsetups xml:inc \xmlprocessfile{inc}{\xmlatt{#1}{file}}{} \stopxmlsetups combined with <inc file="inc.xml"/> in the xml source. But although the content of inc.xml is processed the headings it contains don't show up in the toc (there _is_ an entry for them and a page reference as well but no title). Personally, I'd prefer some include method like file entities (<!ENTITY inc SYSTEM "inc.xml">) but they don't seem to work. Thanks for any suggestions, Philipp -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments

no output
by Michael Saunders 08 Mar '10

08 Mar '10

Thank you. I had never heard of "luatex/mkiv format" before---I have just been trying to follow the four or five conflicting pages about installation that I found at Context Garden. I did a Google search there for "luatex format", which does not occur, and for "mkiv format", which occurs once, under a heading about updating existing installations. It says: * For making MKIV format luatools --selfupdate mtxrun --selfupdate luatools --generate context --make I tried these commands and, indeed they ran. I also changed my command line to: context --interface=en --language=en test.tex I had been trying to follow the example on the Context Garden page, which contained the incorrect command and flags you saw. Now when I run context, I get less promising output than before: MTXrun | run 1: luatex --fmt="C:contextminimal/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/d1d2ccfb3346ff481f4c4dab022cb26d/fomats/cont-en" --lua="C:contextminimal/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/d1d2ccfb3346ff481f4c4dab022cb26d/fomats/cont-en.lui" --backen MTXrun | fatal error: no return code, message: luatex: No such file or directory

MetaPost + format("%g",n)
by Troy Henderson 08 Mar '10

This code compiles fine with plain MetaPost. input graph; beginfig(0); draw begingraph(1in,1in); setrange((0,0),(1,1)); for n=auto.x: show format("%g",n); endfor; endgraph; endfig; end However, this "ConTeXt translated" version errors in MKIV \usemodule[graph] \ctxlua{metapost.showlog=true} \startMPpage draw begingraph(1in,1in); setrange((0,0),(1,1)); for n=auto.x: show format("%g",n); endfor; endgraph; \stopMPpage See foo.log (attached). Thoughts? Troy
