makeing xml-node
by Meer, H. van der 07 May '13

07 May '13

With \xmlload{myroot}{file} I can load an xml file and the execute on its nodes. However what to do if the file is not of the form <root>file-contents</root>? In that case it would help if I could contruct a node with with some actions like: <root>\input{fileconytents</root> and then operate with xml commands on that <root> node. Can this be accomplished?

inclusion of tex code in xml context
by Meer, H. van der 07 May '13

07 May '13

I have some difficulties understanding the intake of ConTeXt-code in an XML processing environment. The setup is as follows. \startbuffer[buffername] \startuseMPgraphic{graphicname}{} .. \stopuseMPgraphic \stopbuffer Processing inside xmlsetup: \startxmlsetups xmlcommon:mpgraphic Here I want to read the buffer and then call it up with \useMPgraphic{graphicname}{} \stopxmlsetups This works if I pack the graphic definition in the buffer inside a <tex></tex> node and call \xmlprocessbuffer{tex}{\xmlatt{#1}{buffer}}{} where <tex> is a ConTeXt processing setup. This actuallty works, but has the drawback of putting the ConTeXt code inside <tex></tex> thereby makeing it difficult to reuse the definition of the graphic in a non XML-context. I thus want to get rid of the <tex></tex> enclosure. I tried things like \xmlloadbuffer{tex}{\xmlatt{#1}{buffer}} \xmlsetup{tex}{xmlcommon:tex} <== the tex processing xmlsetups But this does not work. Because the graphic in this case is not found by \useMPgraphic. Clearly I am misunderstanding some of the intricacies of the xmlloading macros and probably the solution is quite simple. But I cannot find the right way to do it. Any help would be appreciated. Hans van der Meer

parameters to \startxmlsetups
by Meer, H. van der 07 May '13

07 May '13

\startxmlsetups takes one (implicit) parameter #1, the current node. The setup can be called with \setup{node}{command}. My question: Can there be another parameter transferred to the \startxmlsetups from the \setup call? What I would like to do is having a variant \startxmlsetups and corresponding \setup with three parameters {#1}{#2}{#3}. Then argument #3 will allow me to transfer extraneous information to the \startxmlsetups. So one can avoid transferring information through (global) defines, which makes code less general and not very transparant. Hans van der Meer

xml attribute trickery possible?

In the xml setup one may call a command on the current node like: \startxmlsetups xam:define:get \xmlcommand{#1}{}{xmlcommon:whatever} \stopxmlsetups The current node will have attributes and these can be used in the execution of the command xmlcommon:whatever.

Alternative rendering of some TOC levels

\placepublications with criterium=chapter
by Enrique Jiménez Gallego 04 May '13

04 May '13

Hi, I am porting a book from mkii to mkiv and I have found an issue with the bibliography module. As Alan Braslau pointed out on 23 Mar, using \placepublications [criterium=chapter] at the end of each chapter does not show a cited reference if the reference is cited in an earlier chapter. This may be a bug. Indeed, in mkii the reference was printed. Is there any way in mkiv to "reset" the references at the end of each chapter to fix the issue? Minimal example (sample.bib in tex/texmf-context/tex/context/bib/): \setupbibtex[database={sample}] \setuppublications[alternative=num,criterium=chapter] \starttext \chapter{One} Some text.\cite[hh2010a] \subject{References} \placepublications[criterium=chapter] \chapter{Two} Another text.\cite[hh2010a] \subject{References} \placepublications[criterium=chapter] \stoptext

Hi ConTeXt User's, I'm currently considering a new project, but wondering whether I'd choose for a MkII or MkIV basis? I've been using MkIV for some time now, but have the impression that it is less well documented than the MkII setup. Please correct me when I'm wrong here! Okay, the help of this mailing list and of course http://wiki.contextgarden.net solved most of the problems I encountered. However the mailing list dependency makes me feel a bit uncomfortable. Maybe that's the way it works, because the development is very dynamic! Any suggestions are very much appreciated. Thanks in advance! Regards, Verhaag, G.C.H.M.

Arabic typesetting, one more
by "H. Özoguz" 03 May '13

03 May '13

Hi there, I have the following example with the font "traditional arabic", but the question is possibly independent from the font. The code: \definefont[Shehw][name:traditionalarabicnormal*arabic at 24pt] % or file:amiri-regular.ttf*... file:alq.ttf \def\Arab[#1]{\noindentation \setupalign[r2l]\Shehw#1} \starttext \Arab[ اللَّـهِ ]\blank \Arab[ اللهِ ] \stoptext (The lower one is the correct symbol, the upper one not.) If you can't compile, look at the attachment. The upper one has the typographical correct symbol under it (below left, "kassra", looks like a slanted hyphen). This kassra has a nice distant from the word "Allah". But the lower example, the correct "Allah", has a far too big distant from its kassra. Why? This does not happen e.g. in CorelDraw, where the distant is nice in both examples. Huseyin

Maybe the minipages/frames are really the only possibility, so that I have to resign page-breaking, sad, but if this is the only way...

Re: [NTG-context] Table
by "H. Özoguz" 03 May '13

03 May '13

Thanks Wolfgang! But now I see a different issue arising: The left and the right column are set on the same lines (like grid-setting, not the same). I mean, that the text in the left column is set on the same lines, like the text in the right columns. Usually that is good, but not for my purpose, because arabic is very different, has long letters. So for the arabic text the interlinespace should be bigger, than for the german text. Is that possible with a table? An example: \starttext \starttabulate[|lp|rp|] \NC \input knuth \NC \dorecurse{20}{\tfc Blub} \NC\NR \stoptabulate \stoptext And this exactly, what happens with arabic. The only other possibility would be to set the arabic font very small, but that would be not very well readable. Huseyin.

Table

Hi, for a bilingual book (german-arabic) I want to use a table. So far I have this one: \starttabulate[||p(.46\textwidth)|p(.46\textwidth)||] But that is not exactly, what I want: I want a table with 3 columns. The left one ist left-aligned, for the german text (left-algined in the usual sence, I understood that these terms are opposite in context?), the middle one is empty (just to control the space between the to text-columns), and the right columns, arabic, is right aligned. I want to control all three by something like ".46\textwidth", and no indentation (like the above result, left column is indented). How to achieve this (simple) table? My tries did not work so far.

Using the continue=no option of setuphead (in MKIV) didn't seem to work (not sure why). What I did as a workaround was to a blank paragraph after each heading (using 'after' in setuphead) and then packed the result. Not necessarily an ideal solution, but adequate for what I needed. \definehead[references][subsection] \setuphead[references][after={ ~ }] \startpacked % Get rid of large gaps between the references. \dorecurse{10}{\references{Reference item}} \stoppacked -Lance Am 01.05.2013 um 18:03 schrieb Lance Larsen <lance.c.larsen at gmail.com>: > It looks like the 'after' property of \setuphead can be used to override the > 'keep with next' behavior of the headings.

I used to pass (color) parameters to \startuseMPgraphic with: \startuseMPgraphic{square}{acolor} draw unitsquare withcolor \MPvar{acolor}; % or \MPcolor{acolor} In both cases I get the following error: metapost > initializing instance 'metafun' using format 'metafun' metapost > loading 'metafun' as '/Users/hansm/TeX/context-09/tex/texmf-context/metapost/context/base/metafun.mpiv' using method 'default' metapost > initializing number mode 'scaled' check > missing or ungrouped '=' after 'green' in line '7 (442>square:)' Has something changed in this mechanism of parameter use, or am I doing something wrong?

square in Cambria font
by Sietse Brouwer 01 May '13

01 May '13

Hello Hans, The bad news: I think it's the font. The good news: here comes MetaPost to the rescue! I don't have Cambria, so I plucked a cambria.ttf file off the Internet somewhere, which contains both Cambria and Cambria Math. I don't know whether you have the same file/version, so YMMV, but it does exhibit the problem you describe. According to the lovely and free FontForge, * the WHITE SQUARE glyph (U+25A1) is 1060 units high * the SQUARED PLUS glyph (U+229E) is 1630 units high (of which 230 below the baseline). This is in Cambria Math — Cambria does does not have either of these glyphs. I suspect the square size is a design decision: that the designers decided they wanted the white square to match the letters rather than the 'squared *' operators. Anyway, here's a very close MetaPost approximation of the 'squared plus' square, made by looking in with FontForge and copying the glyph dimensions. (And then tweaking them because some things still didn't look right; didn't manage to fix everything, alas.) It scales with the font size. Cheers, Sietse \setuppapersize[A7][A7] \setuppagenumber[state=stop] \setupbodyfont[cambria,40pt] \showframe \showgrid \startuseMPgraphic{square} numeric u, strokewd, strokeht, sqwd, sqht; u := BodyFontSize / 2083; strokewd := 128u; strokeht := 123u; sqwd := 1506u; sqht := 1533u; offset := 200u; pickup pensquare xscaled strokewd yscaled strokeht; draw unitsquare xscaled sqwd yscaled sqht; setbounds currentpicture to boundingbox currentpicture leftenlarged offset rightenlarged offset; \stopuseMPgraphic \def\mysquare{% \lower \dimexpr \bodyfontsize / 2083 * 234 \relax\hbox{\useMPgraphic{square}}% } %%%% try it out %%%% \starttext $\square+\mysquare\boxplus$ \crlf $\mysquare\boxplus$ \page[yes] $+ \ruledhbox{\boxplus}$ \crlf $+ \ruledhbox{\mysquare}$ \crlf $\ruledhbox{\boxplus}$ \crlf $\ruledhbox{\mysquare}$ \stoptext

Heading flow
by lance.c.larsen＠gmail.com 01 May '13

01 May '13

I have a word template I am trying to convert to context. In the word template, section headings are used to manage bibliography numbering (i.e. each reference is included as a subsection). This translates fine to context except for one thing. Context headings seem to have a ‘keep with next’ type property such that if there is a long list of headings with no other paragraphs between, the headings go off the bottom of the page. I expect that I can change this by defining a custom heading via \setuphead, but how to I override the ‘keep with next’ behavior so that ? -Lance Larsen

square in Cambria font
by Meer, H. van der 30 Apr '13

30 Apr '13

I find an anomaly in the typesetting of $\square$ in the Cambria font. The $\square$ is significantly smaller then the corresponding filled squares like $\boxtimes$, etc. Is this intrinsic to the Cambria font? Or is some encoding wrong? I tried lmodern and lucidaot and both give squares of the same size. See the example below. Hans van der Meer \setuppapersize[A6][A6] \setupbodyfont[cambria,10pt] % TOO SMALL %\setupbodyfont[lmodern,10pt] % OK %\setupbodyfont[lucidaot,10pt] % OK \starttext $\square$ \string\square\crlf $\boxdot$ \string\boxdot\crlf $\boxplus$ \string\boxplus\crlf $\boxtimes$ \string\boxtimes\crlf $\boxminus$ \string\boxminus\crlf \stoptext

Deactivating Grid-Setting for a single paragraph
by "H. Özoguz" 30 Apr '13

30 Apr '13

Hi there, speaking code: \setuplayout[grid=yes] \showgrid \starttext {This is a line without a big-sized font.\\ And this one has it: {\tfa THÜS}.} \blank Perfectly I good disable gridsetting for a complete paragraph. I can do so by “placeongrid”. But then another problem arises; if the paragraph is (without placeongrid) half at the end of a page, and half at the beginning of the next page, than WITH placeongrid the page-break of the paragraph is impossible, so the complete paragraph is set on the next page – resulting in many blank lines on the first page, at the buttom, of course. I tried to disable gridsetting for one paragraph only by “setuplayout” (“off”, and after the paragraph “on” again), but that does not work, too, see here:\blank {\setuplayout[grid=no] This is a line without a big-sized font.\\ And this one has it: {\tfa THÜS}. \setuplayout[grid=yes]} \blank So no effect again. My last try was to change “setupinterlinespace” before the paragraph, and change it back to default after the paragraph, but that does not work, too:\blank {\setupinterlinespace[line=4ex] This is a line without a big-sized font.\\ And this one has it: {\tfa THÜS}. \setupinterlinespace[line=2.8ex] } \blank But that does not work, too. How to make this work, disabling grid-set for a paragraph? Perfectly like “placeongrid”, but with the possibility to break it into to pages:\blank \placeongrid[top]{ This is a line without a big-sized font.\\ And this one has it: {\tfa THÜS}.} \blank The problem comes here from setting arabic words into the german text, for arabic I have to use a bigger font, and so the problem simulated here arises.

space before and after headlines
by Jan Heinen 28 Apr '13

28 Apr '13

I want to create a macro for headlines. - before the headline there should be a big space - after it a small space - when the headline is at the beginning of the page there shouls be no space before the headline. A workaround could be this - although it's not very comfortable: \starttext {bf Headline 1} \blank text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text .\par \blank[2*big] {bf Headline 2} \blank text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text .\par \blank[2*big] {bf Headline 3} \blank text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text .\par \stoptext Greetings Jannis

[luatex-fonts] non-ascii filenames in font cache
by Philipp Gesang 28 Apr '13

28 Apr '13

Hi Hans, the font cache currently drops non-ascii bytes when creating file names by means of containers.cleanname(). Dohyun Kim sent a fix for data-con.lua (see below). My own test with the unicode library leads to some odd results. Also I noticed that as a pattern, [^%w%d] is a bit redundant since %d is a subset of %w in both string and unicode.utf8. Regards Philipp #!/usr/bin/env texlua local non_ascii_names = { [[华文仿宋.ttf]], [[华文细黑.ttf]], [[华文黑体.ttf]], } --- [a]: current data-con --- [b]: include non-ascii (proposed by Dohyun Kim) --- [c]: with selene unicode for i = 1, #non_ascii_names do local name = non_ascii_names[i] print"" print("[a]", name, string.gsub(string.lower(name), "[^%w%d]+","-")) print("[b]", name, string.gsub(string.lower(name), "[^%w%d\128-\255]+","-")) print("[c]", name, unicode.utf8.gsub(unicode.utf8.lower(name), "[^%w%d]+","-")) end

codefolding with Kate or Kwrite

Hello, is someone else using the editors kate and kwrite? Code-highlighting is working. What I need ist code-folding for ConTeXt. Is this possible? I have huge makros with lots of \doif ... \else ... \fi and it is hard to "surf" through the code. What else would be nice: auto-indentation ... marking all the code and let kwrite/kate do the job to indent. Regards Janis

How to center with picture taken into consideration
by Cecil Westerhof 27 Apr '13

27 Apr '13

I keep bugging the list. ;-) I center some text on a place where I also place a picture on the right site. Is it possible to center on the part that is not taken up by the picture? The picture is placed with: \definelayer[picture][ preset=righttop, width=\textwidth, ] \setlayer[picture]{\externalfigure[graphics/pasfoto]} \setupbackgrounds[text][text][background=picture] \setupbackgrounds[state=repeat] To make things a little more complicated, the placing of the picture is conditional. So it is not always done. -- Cecil Westerhof

Hyphenation documentation
by Sietse Brouwer 27 Apr '13

27 Apr '13

Hello all, I've just pulled together some questions of mine and their answers, and written them up into a hyphenation Q&A. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Hyphenation http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/definebreakpoint Unfortunately, there are still some holes in the documentation I wrote. Questions I still have, and which I now pose to the list: 1. how do I protect a single instance of a word against hyphenation? Does ConTeXt, like LaTeX, use \hbox{myfragileword}, or something different? 2. In the command \definebreakpoint, what do these keys do? I can't get them to do anything (MWE below) ** left ** middle ** right 3. Is there perhaps a bug in breakpoints of type 2 and 3. (MWE below.) The key 'type' seems to control where hyphens appear. If 1 is a hyphenation character of type 1, etc, this is the observed behaviour (`/` is the linebreak): ...1...1 / ... ...2... / 2-... % I would expect: ...2... / -2... ...3...-3 / ... % I would expect: ...3...3- / ... ...4...4 / 4... ...... / ... % breakpoint of type 5 just disappears If this behaviour is not a bug: is there a way to set a breakpoint X that produces ...X...X- / ...?

Why does startlines not work in a function
by Cecil Westerhof 26 Apr '13

26 Apr '13

I have the following code: \startlines \startalignment[center] \setupindenting[no] \doifelse {\getvariable{meta}{personalInfo}} {long} { longline 1 longline 2 longline 3 longline 4 longline 5 longline 6 longline 7 longline 8 } { shortline 1 shortline 2 shortline 3 shortline 4 } \stopalignment \stoplines I wanted to put this in a function. So I wrote: \def\Foo{ \startlines \startalignment[center] \setupindenting[no] \doifelse {\getvariable{meta}{personalInfo}} {long} { longline 1 longline 2 longline 3 longline 4 longline 5 longline 6 longline 7 longline 8 } { shortline 1 shortline 2 shortline 3 shortline 4 } \stopalignment \stoplines } But then the text becomes one line instead of several lines. So I had to rewrite it to: \def\FooTwo{ \startalignment[center] \setupindenting[no] \doifelse {\getvariable{meta}{personalInfo}} {long} { longline 1 longline 2 longline 3 longline 4 longline 5 longline 6 longline 7 longline 8 } { shortline 1 shortline 2 shortline 3 shortline 4 } \stopalignment } I called it first Foo2, but that worked havoc on Foo. -- Cecil Westerhof

How to know I am in frontmatter or bodymatter?
by Tim Li 26 Apr '13

26 Apr '13

Sometimes, it is convenient if I know I am in frontmatter or bodymatter. when desinging a book, we make a new chapter open at a right page and design the header to show the chapter title and pagenumber. We have to set the pagenumber at the page where a chapter title is located. \definetext [chapterstart] [footer] [{\hfill\bf\pagenumber\hfill}]\setuphead [chapter] [footer=chapterstart] if this book consists of a frontmatter and a backmatter, I have to set the text for the titles in frontmatter and chapters in bodymatter like this, for roman pagenumber in frontmatter. \startsectionblockenvironment[frontpart] \definetext [titlestart] [footer] [{\hfill\bf\romannumerals\pagenumber\hfill}] \setuphead [title] [footer=titlestart]\stopsectionblockenvironment \startsectionblockenvironment[bodypart] \definetext [chapterstart] [footer] [{\hfill\bf\pagenumber\hfill}] \setuphead [chapter] [footer=chapterstart]\stopsectionblockenvironment so, is there a command to make me know if I am in frontmatter or bodymatter? if so, I can use only one command to achieve that setup \definetext [chapterstart] [footer] [{\hfill\bf\ifinfrontmatter ... \else ... \fi\hfill}] regards, Tim

But maybe I just haven't been looking in the right places. b) The place in my .tex document where the error occurs, line 27, is at a \stopptp. Yet there is an essentially identical start/stopptp earlier in the document, where no such error is thrown: \startptp{ \pagereference[Summaries]\pnum{Part I}\ptitle{Statistical Summaries} }\stopptp So I guess there's some content in between the two starts/stop ptp's that's laying the stage for the error to occur. I'll be working on a minimal example, but that's time-consuming; and I thought in the meantime, there may be some clues in the above information that could help clarify the nature of the problem, to someone who understands the inner workings of ConTeXt.

[wiki] fake account spam
by Philipp Gesang 26 Apr '13

26 Apr '13

Hi all, I’d like to draw your attention to the wiki. The spammers appear to know the solution to the current entry barrier “What is usually the last command in a ConTeXt source file (without the backslash)?”, and the number of fake accounts is growing fast: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Special:Log/newusers They don’t, however, seem to vandalize yet, so I guess the postal code of Hasselt is unbreakable with today’s technology ;-) Nevertheless the account spam is messing up the recent changes feed: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&feed=rss Even if it’s not urgent, may I suggest we collect possible replacements for the current question? I can’t image the damage those accounts would do once they figure out how to post links. Best Philipp

Project structure and path evaluation
by contact＠thomas-corbiere.name 25 Apr '13

25 Apr '13

Hello, I am experimenting with the project structure feature of ConTeXt and so far it seems that paths used with \project, \product and \component are relative to the current working directory of the context program. What I am doing right now, I use paths relative to my project file "project.tex". project.tex: \startproject proj \product product1/product.tex \product product2/product.tex \stopproject product1/product.tex: \startproduct prod1 \component product1/components/component1.tex % I would like to use "components/component1.tex" % that is a path relative to the current file \stopproduct This is really annoying as it makes it difficult to organize files into directories. I would like the path to be relative to the file containing the command. I tried \usepath[{.}] without success. So, is this possible in ConTeXt? Also, at the end of the PDF on project structure there is an example with \startdocument ... \stopdocument. But I don't understand where I should use these commands. From the source, it looks like \starttex ... \stoptext with the ability to register a before and after command. I am under the impression that I have to choose between using : - the project structure (project, product and component) - the \startdocument and \stopdocument commands - the \starttex and \stoptext commands But that I should not mix them together. Is this right? Regards, Thomas Corbière

LuaTeX has troubles with contextual kern
by Georg Duffner 25 Apr '13

25 Apr '13

Hi, in EB Garamond I have some contextual lookups in the kern feature with which LuaTeX in context standalone (updated today in the morning) seems to have problems (the issue is not new, I’ve already reported it in january but perhaps that was a bit too confusing). The test document is: \definefontfeature[default][default][mode=base] \definefontsynonym[ebg][file:EBGaramond12-Regular.otf] \definefontfeature[ss20][ss20=yes] \definefontfeature[iota1][cv81=1] \definefontfeature[iota2][cv81=2] \definefontfeature[altcirc][cv80=1] \define\test{Tì αᾟα\par} \starttext \definedfont[ebg*default at 12pt]\test \addfeature{ss20}\test \addfeature{iota1}\test \addfeature{iota2}\test \addfeature{altcirc}\test \stoptext The font is at http://www.georgduffner.at/ebgaramond/fonts/EBGaramond12-Regular.otf The corresponding lookups in the kern.fea roughly contain pos T' 145 i.dotless gravecomb; which increases the right sidebearing of T by 145 before i.dotless followed by gravecomb and pos Eta' <218 0 218 0> uni0345.cap @grk_tlAcc2; pos Eta' <218 0 418 0> uni0345.cap1 @grk_tlAcc2; pos Eta' <218 0 558 0> uni0345.cap2 @grk_tlAcc2; where @grk_tlAcc2 contains the accents attached at the top left of the glyph and which means that Eta is positioned at 218 inside its bounding box and the bounding box is expanded by the third value between <>, on the condition that it’s followed by uni0345.cap* and the said accents. ss20 does a full decomposition of all composed glyphs so I can replace any component by an alternate glyph. Their order corresponds to canonical decomposition. Attached you find the pdf output and a pdf from a parallel xelatex test which shows the desired result: \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{fontspec} \setmainfont{EB Garamond} \newcommand{\test}{Tì αᾟα\par} \begin{document} \test \addfontfeature{RawFeature=+ss20}\test \addfontfeature{CharacterVariant=81:1}\test \addfontfeature{CharacterVariant=81:2}\test \addfontfeature{CharacterVariant=80}\test \end{document} Best regards, Georg
