Luajittex 0.72.0 announcement
by luigi scarso 10 Jan '13

10 Jan '13

Hi, there is a new project on supelec: Luajittex. Briefly, it's like luatex with Lua replaced by LuaJIT. See http://foundry.supelec.fr/gf/project/luajittex/ for the source code. Please note that LuaJIT is based on lua 5.1, while luatex is now based on lua 5.2 --- this means that binaries modules must be kept separate. The tag 0.72.0 means that luajittex is in sinc with the tag 0.72.0 of luatex; I'm working to keep in sinc with the last tag. I've compiled the source for Linux 64bit (Ubuntu 12.10) Linux 32bit (Opensuse 12.1) and crosscompiled for Mingw32bit and they seem to work but of course any feedback is appreciate. The new engine is available with context (mkiv) with --engine=luajittex -- luigi

Opening external documents with external application
by Matthias Weber 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

Dear All, I used to write \goto{\externalfigure[cuteimage]}[program(file.ext)] to get an image, that, when clicked, will open an application that will open file.ext. This currently still works on my Mac (10.8) with the TeXShop preview and with Skim. I does not work anymore with Adobe Acrobat Reader. Acrobat now asks permission, but doesn't do anything when granted. Even worse, on another Mac with an older OS, Skim didn't open the hyperlink either. On Windows, I couldn't find any program that would do the job, by I don't know much about that part of the world. Is there anything that has changed recently in the way these kind of hyperlinks must be written? (I use MkII) Thanks, Matthias

Hi, I get an empty TOC again when compiling the documentation for the drops module. The entries for the TOC are set in the *.tuc file, but the TOC in the document stays empty. I tried the "[criterium=all]" option, same result. A TOC example from the wiki worked, so this time not a general problem. The *.log and the *.tuc file are attached, source can be sent off-list.

Error markers for invalid section references
by Marco Patzer 07 Jan '13

07 Jan '13

Hi, in the final stage of a document I always run a grep for ?? and xxxx on the document to find invalid references and missing bibliography entries. However, in documents that do not have a section number the references to the number are also wrong, they need to be references to the name instead of the number. In this case no error marker is printed and AFAIK not even a hint in the log file. The correct way is to use \about instead of \in. Here's an example: \setuphead [section] [number=no] \starttext \startsectionlevel [title=Alpha] See section \in[invalid]. \par %% prints ?? See section \in[sec:bar]. \par %% prints nothing See section \about[sec:bar]. %% correct reference \startsectionlevel [title=Foo] \stopsectionlevel \startsectionlevel [title=Bar, reference=sec:bar] \stopsectionlevel \stopsectionlevel \stoptext The wrong \in[invalid] reference receives an easy to find error marker and an entry in the log file. The wrong entry \in[sec:bar] is hard to find. Is there a way to add ?? for those cases as well? Marco

Re: [NTG-context] MetaPost Animations

Dear Wolfgang, Thank you for the explanation and the correction of the code. It works nicely. It also taught me some other things too. I'd like to ask you one more thing. When you update the animation module, would you please concern the location of the menu? I think that it is better to put it at the bottom center of the animation frame in default? Currently, it is located slightly left from the center. Thanks again. Best regards, Dalyoung

no bibliography when using bodymatter/backmatter/...
by Andreas Mang 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

Hi there, after updating I have spotted serious flaws in my layout. Spending some time in the wonderful garden I could fix most issues. However, I might still be doing something wrong: My TOC and the bib entries were gone. I could reanimate the TOC for the bodymatter, but not for the remaining parts of my document. Secondly, the bibliography is still missing. I have attached a minimal example to demonstrate my problems. I am probably missing flags / settings. My problems are: 1) The section title "Backmatter" does not appear in the TOC. 2) the bibliography does not appear nor is the citation added (this is different, if I put the placepublication command into the bodymatter) Cheers, Andreas % ConTeXt ver: 2013.01.02 18:19 MKIV %%% minimal example %%% \setupcombinedlist[content][level=4, alternative=c] \startsectionblockenvironment[bodypart] \setupuserpagenumber[numberconversion=numbers] \setuppagenumber[number=1] \stopsectionblockenvironment \startsectionblockenvironment[backpart] \setupuserpagenumber[numberconversion=numbers] \stopsectionblockenvironment \usemodule[bib] \usemodule[bibltx] \setupbibtex[database=sample] \setuppublications[numbering=yes] \starttext \placecontent[criterum all] \startbodymatter \section{Bodymatter} % this heading does not appear in the TOC \ConTeXt \cite[hh2010a] \stopbodymatter \startbackmatter \section{Backmatter} \placepublications[criterium=text] \stopbackmatter \stoptext %%% minimal example %%%

\placefigure[margin] but in left margin?

Dear list, I want to have the effect I get with \placefigure[margin] but I want it _always_ in the left margin instead of the right margin where it ends up by default. I have tried several other keys but with leftmargin, inleft the figure is not put in the top of the page, "independent of the text". Can I fix this with some setup? Small test file: \starttext \input tufte \placefigure[leftmargin][none]{With the key leftmargin}{\externalfigure[cow][width=1cm]} \input tufte \placefigure[inleft][none]{With the key inleft}{\externalfigure[cow][width=1cm]} \input tufte \placefigure[margin][none]{With the key margin}{\externalfigure[cow][width=1cm]} \input tufte % This is the way I want it, but I want it in the left margin instead \stoptext

Hi Hans, can you add a \savebuffer variant which works like the first version of the command where \savebuffer[<buffername>][<filename>] saved the buffer as <filename> and not as \jobname-<filename>.tmp like it currently does. Instead of a new command a key-val-version of \savebuffer would do the job as well, e.g. \savebuffer[list=<buffername>,file=<filename>,prefix=no] or something similar. Wolfgang

problems with letter module

Hallo, I have updated context and the letter module to ConTeXt ver: 2012.12.06 22:36 MKIV fmt: 2012.12.8 int: english/english Problem: My letters do not work anymore. I have found that \setlettervalue{tax}[Steuer]{xxx} is one of the problems. I have to use \setupletter[tax=xxx] instead. I have to lock for then tax renaming. Now the letter is compiling, but it is completly broken. In the log I have found a lot of lines setup > error in line 20, namespace "553", instance "letter", key "frame" setup > error in line 58, namespace "539", instance "letter", key "invoice" setup > error in line 58, namespace "539", instance "letter", key "date" setup > error in line 58, namespace "539", instance "letter", key "phone" setup > error in line 58, namespace "539", instance "letter", key "tax" I have the impression, that there has a lot changed. How can I fix this temporary? (I have to write my letter NOW!) Wolfgang

Dear Wolfgang, Thank you for the explanation, and your sample works nicely. I enclosed \processMPbuffer using \startframe and \stopframe as following. Then I got a 'undefined control sequence' error. If I use '\framed[]' instead of '\startframe … \stopframe', then it gave all 7 circles of different radius in two pages without error. If I add "\startanimation … \stopanimation", the only change is the appearance of menu at the bottom of the last circle.(no animation) What is wrong in the code?

Dear Troy, The animations are impressive and thank you for sharing the code. In the creation of many pdf for animation, it changes the recurselevel only.

XeTeX, ConTeXt and font/filename quote char
by Khaled Hosny 29 Dec '12

29 Dec '12

Hi all, Some people have been complaining that it is not possible to use XeTeX with filenames containing parenthesis because XeTeX treats it as filename quote char and this it gets stripped. Anyway, after some searching it turned out this was added in 2004 for ConTeXt to workaround some MetaPost quotation issue[1]. Now I'm not sure if this is still needed/used by ConTeXt and was wondering if it can be dropped now? Regards, Khaled [1] http://tug.org/pipermail/xetex/2004-October/001215.html

References_to_footnotes in index
by Robert Blackstone 27 Dec '12

27 Dec '12

Dear List, The book that I am working on has an index of authors. On some pages of the book an author's name only occurs in a footnote. Is it possible in ConTeXt to mark, in the index, those occurrences in footnotes so that in these cases not only the page number appears in the index but also, preferably as superscript, the footnote number on that page? As for example Arnold, Franck Th. 9, 283 indicating footnote 3 on page 28 (Sorry, I cannot make a superscript in this mail editor) What I certainly don't want is separate index entries for those authors. Each author name should occur in the index only once. Thanks in advance of any help. Best regards, Robert Blackstone

Natural Tables in multiple columns
by Jannik Voges 25 Dec '12

25 Dec '12

Hello ConTeXt-Users, I get a strange behavior (latest beta), when I try to typeset natural tables and normal text in multiple columns. When I type normal text into a column and add a natural table which total length is small enough to fit into the column, the table is placed into the column with the text. When the total length is too large, the table starts in the next column and leaves the rest of the column empty (of course I used split=yes). I would expect that the table starts in the column with the text and is split properly. Minimal example: small table \starttext \startcolumns[n=3] \dorecurse{10}{Test\crlf} \bTABLE[split=yes] \dorecurse{10} {\bTR \bTD a\eTD \bTD b \eTD \eTR} \eTABLE \stopcolumns \stoptext large table \starttext \startcolumns[n=3] \dorecurse{10}{Test\crlf} \bTABLE[split=yes] \dorecurse{20} {\bTR \bTD a\eTD \bTD b \eTD \eTR} \eTABLE \stopcolumns \stoptext

to pass an argument in a macro
by Roland Thiers 25 Dec '12

25 Dec '12

Bonjour, I am new in ConTeXt. I love its features. I need some (or a lot of) help. I tried to get a macro which compute some values for a math function. With help from the wiki ConTeXt Garden and some time I could do that - write my function userdata.f - write another function to put the values in a table : userdata.tabf - put both of them in a file "/Users/rolandt/context/mesfonctionsluatex.lua" - In a file.tex, I use that macro : \def\tabf#1#2% {\startluacode dofile("/Users/rolandt/context/mesfonctionsluatex.lua") userdata.tabf(#1,#2) \stopluacode} Here are the functions: -- fonction cube -- on utilise l'espace de nom userdata userdata=userdata or {} function userdata.f(x) context(x*x*x) end -- fonction tabf -- which makes a table , compute 6 values, b=first x, c = step userdata=userdata or {} function userdata.tabf(b,c) context.starttable{"*{7}{|l}|"} local b=b local c=c context("\\HL") context("\\VL x ") for i=1,6 do context("\\NC" .. b+(i-1)*c) end context("\\VL".."\\AR") context("\\HL") context("\\VL f(x) ") for i=1,6 do context("\\NC") context(userdata.f(b+(i-1)*c)) end context("\\VL".."\\LR") context("\\HL") context.stoptable() end I am sure it could be much better but it works ! Evidently I need a third argument to be able to choose how many values compute. I failed completely (I don't understand how arguments are passed). I tried things like : context.starttable{"*{%s}{|l}|",a} but ... fatal error :) I would appreciate some help or what to read to improve understanding that kind of things. Best regards, Roland

Help with installation
by Michal Kvasnička 25 Dec '12

25 Dec '12

Hallo. I'm sorry to bother you this time but I would really apprecitate your help. I've installed Ubuntu 12.10 64 bit on a new disk. I downloaded the last stable version of ConTeXt suite (today). The installation was all right. However, when I run texexec (e.g. texexec --help), I get the following error: /programy/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/mtxrun:15228: attempt to index field 'loaders' (a nil value) The same happens with context (e.g. context --help). Can you tell me what to do? I guess I simply need to install some libraries. This is the first time I've tried 64 bit Ubuntu. Best wishes Michal

Odd /externalfigure behavior
by Guy Stalnaker 21 Dec '12

21 Dec '12

All, I've been working on a document for weeks and it's been compiling fine. I have a pdf copy from yesterday afternoon at 4p local time, the last time it compiled successfully. I was doing a search/replace on some /crlf to add space between text and an image. The search/replace with Gnome's gedit included \n in both search and replace string. Suddenly context will no longer successfully compile the document! What's very, very odd, is that the context document is an output file from pandoc of a markdown document that has had no issues until now. If I go back now to the original markdown doc and regenerate the context document the issue persists with or without subsequent edit!! Damned peculiar. Here's the workflow: pandoc -s -f markdown -t context <file.md> -o <file.context.tex> gedit <file.context.tex> to add: \defineexternalfigure[screenshot][frame=on] and then add [screenshot] to all of the \externalfigure directives. Then find the /crlf that appear immediate before *all* of the \externalfigure directives and double them (unless someone who reads this can tell me how to easily modify the padding of an image when it's placed to increase the spacing between the image and the text above it). I've been doing this for many days. Until late yesterday afternoon. Now context spits out this: <quote> structure > sectioning > subsubsubsection @ level 6 : 0.0.0.1.3.1 -> One URL for All Projects !

one small remark and one broad question
by Thomas A. Schmitz 19 Dec '12

19 Dec '12

Hi all, small remark first: archive.contextgarden.net has been down for a few days now; I suppose because of the new server? And now for the overly broad question: I'm embarking on what could become a long project. One part of it is typesetting a book (with many graphics). On the one hand, it would be wonderful to use the project structure and break it down into several components to make things manageable. On the other hand, it would be great to code in xml (because I might want to publish this as a website too). can these things be combined? Does the xml engine handle xinclude (or could this be added to it)? Or would another approach be better? Thanks for your insights! All best Thomas

framed algorithm / float: problems with line break
by Andreas Mang 18 Dec '12

18 Dec '12

Dear all, Quick access: there is no line break in case algorithmic is used together with framed as a float. I'd like to put some pseudocode in my document. I've used the algorithmic module. Since I'd like to refer to the algorithm in the text, I've defined a float environment. However, putting the pseudocode into my document, I've realised that it does not really stand out from the text. My first idea was to put some box around it. In the garden I've found some example for using framed together with floats: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Framed However, this screws up the line break in the algorithmic environment. I could define manually the size of the box, but I think there might be better solutions. Any ideas or better ways for achieving this or a similar behaviour?! Thanks in advance.

Centered multiline chapter title
by hanak＠wpb.cz 18 Dec '12

18 Dec '12

Hello, I need to format my chapters in the following way: - The chapters are centered (midaligned). - Some chapters are long, so they have to be multilined. - The chapter title should be in capital letters, but in the header should it be without capitalisation. - When the chapter title is multilined, only the first line should appear in the header, followed by "...", the same in TOC - When the chapter title is multilined, I want to choose the point of line break with "\\" So something like this: \chapter{FIRST CHAPTER TITLE} (in the header and TOC will be "First chapter title") \chapter{SECOND CHAPTER TITLE \\ WHICH IS VERY VERY VERY LONG} (in the header and TOC will be "Second chapter title...") I tried the following setup for the chapter: \setuphead [chapter] [after={\blank[2*line,fixed]}, header=empty, textcommand=\midaligned, style={\chapterfont\WORD}, sectionset=none, indentnext=no ] But when I try to process the file, I will get the following error: structure > sectioning > chapter @ level 2 : 0.1 -> Second chapter title \\ which is very very very looong ! Missing } inserted. system > tex > error on line 1 in file test.tex: Missing ... 1 >> \environment test_environment 2 3 \startcomponent test19 4 5 \product test 6 7 8 \chapter{Second chapter title \\ which is very very very looong} 9 <inserted text> } <to be read again> \endgroup \\->\endgroup \par \doalignline {\hss }{\hss }\begingroup l.1 Second chapter title \\ which is very very very looong \ctxcommand ...\directlua \zerocount {commands.#1} \getheadtitle ...lecommand \relax \structuretitle \else \normalexpanded {\no... ... l.10 ...r title \\ which is very very very looong} If I don't try to enforce line break in the title with "\\", the file is processed without problem, but also without making anyline break at all -- the whole long chapter title is one very long line. If I don't use "textcommand=\midaligned", I am able to make multiline chapter with my own line break, but the title is left-aligned... Could anybody tell me, how to make properly the chapter setup according to above described rules? Thank you in advance. Pavel

Count the words per line

I am setting with grid-set, and I am wondering, if there is a possibility to count the number of words in the lines (not for each single line, but in average over all lines). That would be helpful to get a perfectly readably book (words per row is one of these readability-measures). That tool could ignore hyphenated words at the end of a line, or count it with 0.5, or whatever. Thanks Huseyin

Suggestion for formula numbering
by Zenlima 17 Dec '12

17 Dec '12

Hi, as of actual need I summed up all kinds of formula numbering - some basics are working. You can find this list on my user talk page: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/User_talk:Zenlima As I also found a note in str-math.mkiv that it needs to be rewritten and the example syntax which leaded me to confusion in the past, I worked out a suggestion for a more intuitive syntax for formula numbering. In sum it ends with: All three commands: \NR \placeformula \formualanumber will share the same attributes: * sublevel (maybe better: formulalevel or just level?) to define and concrete the (sub-)level of the formula * listlabel (maybe textlabel? the numberlabel is still needed) to add a entry in the list of formulas * reference just a classic reference in order to link to it so that the syntax is more intuitive during the writing. Also. this way the commands: placesubformula placenamedformula placenamedsubformula startstopsubformulas subformulanumber will become needless. For the "why" and examples please look at: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/User_talk:Zenlima#Suggestion_for_new_syntax I hope you will find parts you like and feel free to add your opinion. :-) H.

Desperate help needed: Formular numbering and List of Formulas
by Zenlima 17 Dec '12

17 Dec '12

Hi, I am closing my dissertation (finally) but I had to realize that subnumbering of formulas is still not working in mkiv. Unluckily going back to mkii is not an option for other reasons. For that I really need help to bring back a fully working formula numbering. I searched the entire wiki and mailing list for possible examples and put all in one test file - I got non to work but maybe I also made a mistake somewhere. Additionally I wrote everything on my talk page of the wiki: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/User_talk:Zenlima If every method has to be fixed my priority is the \NR[+][c]-method. Maybe someone can give additionally hints how to get a proper list of formulas. I attached the test file with its pdf result in addition to the wiki page. Thanks H.

two bugs in linenote
by Pablo Rodríguez 16 Dec '12

16 Dec '12

Hi there, with the following code: \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[TeX Gyre Pagella] \definelinenote[A] \setupnote[A][rule=off, paragraph=yes, split=strict, inbetween=\hskip1.5em] \setupnotation[A][numbercommand=,alternative=serried,distance=1em,compress=yes,compressseparator=] \starttext \startlinenumbering \dorecurse{500}{body\A{note} } \stoplinenumbering \stoptext I hit two bugs (ConTeXt - 2012.12.10 23:20): Body and notes aren't properly separated. Not being any compress separator defined, the lines that don't start with a number, start with a blank space. There is also an issue that I don't know whether it could be fixed. Is there any way to make the distance option from \setupnotation elastic? (I mean "1em plus .1em minus .1em".) Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

New module: simplesteps.
by Andre Caldas 15 Dec '12

15 Dec '12

Well.... since Raw Steps did not work with mkiv, I tried making a very very simple module for a "beamer-like" behaviour. I don't really know how to write a module... but here is what I did: https://bitbucket.org/andrecaldas/math-video-classes/src/9116599821fc246cb5… I use \startbuffer and \stopbuffer, and also Lua. As I said, I don't really know how to write a module... comments are very welcome. Is it ok if I send a PDF sample to the list? Cheers, André Caldas.

Hi! I have to use pattern matching in lua. I tried the function "string.gmatch". I want to match (iterate over) strings of the type ([0-9]+)(-([0-9]*))?(,|$) For example: 1,3- (iterations: 1 and 3-) 1-3,6,7 (iterations: 1-3 then 6 then 7) 1-2,5-6,10- (iterations 1-2 then 5-6 then 10-) André Caldas.

[***SPAM***] Spacing and font problem with \chemical inside display math
by Romain Diss 14 Dec '12

14 Dec '12

Hi all, I found what I suppose to be a bug with the \chemical command: - when one use \chemical inside display math, the spacing is wrong around the \chemical stuff. The font change inside \chemical also persists outside the command. - if one enclose the \chemical command into curly braces, the font problem do not appear but the spaces are still wrong. - if one put the \chemical command inside a \text{} command, ConTeXt stops with an error. These problems do not occur in inline math. Here is a minimal example: %% START \starttext Chemical within inline math: \m{M(\chemical{CO_2})} or \m{M(\text{\chemical{CO_2}})}. This works fine. Chemical in display math: \startformula M(\chemical{CO_2}) \stopformula gives some strange spacing and seems to modify the font outside \tex{chemical}. Chemical in display math: \startformula M({\chemical{CO_2}}) \stopformula corrects the font problem but still gives some strange spacing. %Chemical inside \text in display math: \startformula %M(\text{\chemical{CO_2}}) \stopformula gives an error. \stoptext %% END Anyone has an idea to solve this? Thanks in advance. -- Romain Diss <romain.diss(a)yahoo.fr>

Problem using League of Moveable Type's Gothic font in simple project
by Pavneet Arora 11 Dec '12

11 Dec '12

Hello, I have a simple sign that I need to put together with a good title font. Since, I have been looking for a project to try out LoMT's Gothic (http://www.theleagueofmoveabletype.com/league-gothic) I thought that this would be a perfect opportunity. Unfortunately, I am getting some errors from LuaTeX that I am unable to decipher. The context file compiles successfully with other fonts such as Museo via the simplefonts mechanism. Note that the errors come after the message: "otf loading > font loaded okay" and seems related to the adobe glyph list, which I am unfamiliar with. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. -- Pavneet >>>>> ConTeXt ver: 2012.12.10 23:20 MKIV fmt: 2012.12.11 int: english/english system > cont-new.mkiv loaded (/opt/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-new.mkiv system > beware: some patches loaded from cont-new.mkiv ) system > files > jobname: electricalpanelwarning, input: electricalpanelwarning, result: electricalpanelwarning fonts > latin modern fonts are not preloaded languages > language en is active (electricalpanelwarning.tex resolvers > modules > loaded: 'simplefonts' (/opt/context/tex/texmf-modules/tex/context/third/simplefonts/t-simplefonts.mkiv loading > ConTeXt User Module / Simplefonts <+ /opt/context/tex/texmf-modules/tex/context/third/simplefonts/t-simplefonts.lua>) fonts > typescripts > unknown: library 'loc' {/opt/context/tex/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/lm/lm-math.map}{/opt/context/tex/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/lm/lm-rm.map}{/opt/context/tex/texmf-context/fonts/map/pdftex/context/mkiv-base.map} fonts > otf loading > loading: /home/pavneet/.fonts/opentype/theleagueof-league-gothic-64c3ede/LeagueGothic-Regular.otf (hash: leaguegothic-regular) fonts > otf loading > font loaded okay fonts > otf loading > file size: 24472 fonts > encoding > loading (extended) adobe glyph list !

OOP in Metafun.
by Andre Caldas 11 Dec '12

11 Dec '12

Hello, list! I am writing down a macro package for commutative diagrams using metafun. This is my first try: https://bitbucket.org/andrecaldas/math-video-classes/src/9a050eab20348c9a9c… Used here: https://bitbucket.org/andrecaldas/math-video-classes/src/9a050eab2034/src/p… But I would like to use some "object oriented" like approach. That is, I'd like the diagram data structure to be set up like this: d = CD.new; d.vertex("$X$"); d.arrow("$f$"); d.vertex("$Y$"); d.newline; d.arrow("$\pi$"); d.arrow("$\pi$"); d.vertex("$A$"); d.arrow("$g$"); d.vertex("$B$"); or even in some "thelabel" similar fashion, d = CD.new; CD.vertex(d, "$X$"); CD.arrow(d, "$f$"); CD.vertex(d, "$Y$"); CD.newline(d); CD.arrow(d, "$\pi$"); CD.arrow(d, "$\pi$"); CD.vertex(d, "$A$"); CD.arrow(d, "$g$"); CD.vertex(d, "$B$"); How do I do that in METAFUN/METAPOST? Cheers, André Caldas.

TeXexec / mptex / Ruby bug with Unicode letters
by Michal Kvasnička 11 Dec '12

11 Dec '12

Hallo. It seems that something was changed in Ruby that makes texexec --mptex not working with some Unicode letters, e.g. rcaron. This file compiles all right with texexec --mptex: beginfig(1); label(textext("a"),origin); endfig; end. However, when I change "a" to "ř" (unicode for rcaron or \v{r}), it failes with this complaint: /home/qasar/programy/context.beta/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/ruby/base/switch.rb:21: Use RbConfig instead of obsolete and deprecated Config. /home/qasar/programy/context.beta/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/ruby/base/tex.rb:1982:in `doruntexmp': invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII (ArgumentError) from /home/qasar/programy/context.beta/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/ruby/base/tex.rb:1525:in `runtexmp' from /home/qasar/programy/context.beta/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/ruby/base/tex.rb:1087:in `block in processmptex' from /home/qasar/programy/context.beta/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/ruby/base/tex.rb:1084:in `each' from /home/qasar/programy/context.beta/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/ruby/base/tex.rb:1084:in `processmptex' from /home/qasar/programy/context.beta/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/ruby/texexec.rb:76:in `mptex' from /home/qasar/programy/context.beta/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/ruby/base/switch.rb:133:in `execute' from /home/qasar/programy/context.beta/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/ruby/texexec.rb:791:in `<main>' It crashes both with the latest beta (downloaded some minutes ago) and with the latest stable (downloaded yesterday). It crashes also with the stable instalation that was working previously. Since it worked properly with Ubuntu 12.04 and is not working (with the same ConTeXt installation) with Ubuntu 12.10, an explanation might be a change in Ruby that makes some ConTeXt code invalid. I'm using * Ubuntu 12.10 (Linux) * Ruby ruby 1.9.3p194 (2012-04-20 revision 35410) [i686-linux] * texexec * ConTeXt standalone (minimal) distribution from the ConTeXt Garden, latest beta, latest stable and some older version that was previously working. Since I'm using it to create my teaching slides, I would really appreciate if you could make some patch (or help me go around somehow). Best wishes, Michal P.S. I apologize if the bug is known already; I haven't found it in the mailing list.

drops module (draft)
by Peter Rolf 08 Dec '12

08 Dec '12

Hi all, a first version of the 'drops'-module (MkIV only) is available at https://www.wuala.com/indiego/public/ConTeXt/drops/?key=caiCGLasLFmJ Taken from the included documentation.. [..] 'drops' is a small extension for ConTeXt, that allows you to add drop shadows to rectangular regions (so called boxshadows). A working installation of ImageMagick (IM) is required to create the shadow graphics. The supported color spaces are CMYK, RGB and Gray, the file formats are limited to PNG and JPG. [..] Read the manual for detailed information. The attached example is just a small test file for the 'rotation' parameter (a compensation for the object rotation, so that the shadow stays at the given direction). You will find other examples in the documentation and there is also a 'pile' example with the complete source. The 'presets' pdf contains the predefined setups for different shadow (or frame) types and it's source is a good starting point for your own experiments. This is a first draft, but most things work quite stable. If you want to help, test as much as possible. :-) *You need a recent version of ImageMagick for this module.* 6.7.8-2 to 6.8.0-7 (wrong version info 6.8.0-6): used here, should work 6.7.6-0 or lower: will fail due to incompatibilities 7.0.0.0 alpha: untested ('magick' is used instead of 'convert') Tested on Windows7 64bit and Debian 6.0.5-i386 (IM compiled from source) Happy TeXing!

Hi all, I can easily \setupitemgroup to achieve the following: 1. ... a. ... 1. ... b. ... 1. ... 2. ... 2. ... a. ... 1. ... …but I need the numbers/letters to cumulate as follows: 1. ... 1a. ... 1a1. ... 1b. ... 1b1. ... 1b2. ... 2. ... 2a. ... 2a1. ... Can that be done? Thank you, Malte.

In response to Hans Hagen and Wolfgang Schuster's messages of Dec. 5, Just to let you know, in response to your messages, I am working a small, self-contained example that reproduces the problem. However I have been asked to focus on a different project for a few days, so ... please don't interpret my silence as "We asked him to do due diligence and he never answered." :-) Hopefully I'll be back with more, next week.

Q about hangaround commands
by Vladimir Lomov 06 Dec '12

06 Dec '12

Hi. I'm trying to figure out the limitation of \start/stophangaround commands. 1. Is it correct that currently the figure could be placed only on left? If so is it easy to extend the command to allow placing figure at right side? 2. Is there way to increase/decrease the space between the text and image? 3. Is it correct that hangaround command is tricky hack that change normal flow? I prepare simple example (it is attached). 1) is obvious from the example (default behavior I assume). 3): I got the '2.' not on left side as 1) and 3) but on left side of text block right after image. Another example if 3): if I put empty line between \starthangaround and \input (see the file) then there would be mess. P.S. I tried the example with MkIV only. --- WBR, Vladimir Lomov

On http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/define it says that \define is like the TeX primitive \def, but "will print an error to the log file if the new definition overwrites an existing command". I checked the log file, and there is no error mentioning XLfontsize. So the purpose of your suggestion is to remove the possibility of reporting a duplicate definition? (There's probably more to it than that - I'm just trying to understand.) I tried changing \define to \def as you suggested. The result was unchanged - same error. Regards, Lars

Dear Otared, I tested your sample and it works well. \notin also works with \enablemode[lmmath] too. I also agree with your comment on the size of the integrals. Best regards, Dalyoung

(XeTeX) trouble debugging a "Missing number" error
by Lars Huttar 05 Dec '12

05 Dec '12

Hi all, I'm working with some code that was developed by someone else. The document I'm typesetting is now giving the following error: ! Missing number, treated as zero. <to be read again> \otr:1:27 \OTRSETdoifcellelse ...er #1:\number #2\endcsname \@EA \secondoftwoarguments... \@@ar@@1 ...ellelse {\mofcolumns }\columnlastcell {\global \advance \columnl... \redoloop ->\expandrecursecontent \endofloop <to be read again> { <inserted text> 28 ... l.12 \startabblist { ? I haven't been able to figure out what's wrong or how to fix it. I had just made changes to refactor the definitions of fonts. (I confirmed that these changes really are a necessary cause of the error: when I back out just these changes, the error goes away.) >From the above error message I understand the error was detected during the expansion of \startabblist. Here's the definition of abblist: % Abbreviations \definestartstop [abblist] [before={\setupbackgrounds[text][background=verticalline] \starttextbackground[text] \setuptab[headstyle={\switchtobodyfont[SansB,\SansBsize]},width=20mm,location=left] \startcolumnset[abbcolumn] \startalignment[flushleft,nothyphenated]}, after={\stopalignment \stopcolumnset \stoptextbackground \setupbackgrounds[text][background=off]}] >From that, one might guess that the font SansB or the font dimension \SansBsize were the problem. But those definitions haven't changed (though I would like to confirm that empirically with a run-time trace message). Here are the font settings changes that did occur: E16fonts.tex: changed this block: \definefont[SerifXLI][name:GentiumBookBasic-Italic at 10pt] \definefont[SerifXXL][name:GentiumBookBasic at 12pt] \definefont[SerifXXLB][name:GentiumBookBasic-Bold at 12pt] to use size dimensions defined elsewhere: \definefont[SerifXLI][name:GentiumBookBasic-Italic at \XLfontsize] \definefont[SerifXXL][name:GentiumBookBasic at \XXLfontsize] \definefont[SerifXXLB][name:GentiumBookBasic-Bold at \XXLfontsize] E16settings.tex: I added these definitions: \define\XLfontsize{14pt} \define\XXLfontsize{16pt} There are modes involved, so things are a bit more complicated, but I believe that is the only effective difference. I also created a log file, which I'll attach. There is also a version with \tracingmacros=1, but it's 600K, so I'll put it at http://www.huttar.net/tmp/country-report-country_id-15-tracing.log Thanks for taking a look. Please let me know what further information I need to provide. I can provide the .tex files themselves upon request. I would especially like to know better techniques for debugging -- how I can induce TeX/ConTeXt to tell me more about what's going on. I realize that as a macro language, this is inherently difficult with TeX. We are heavily invested in XeTeX, so switching to LuaTeX in the near term is not an option.

\not\in doesn't work properly

Hi, After updating ConTeXt, math command '\not\in' is not shown properly. For example, $a \not\eq b$ is good. but $a \not\in A$ shows two symbols separately. I am using Mac OS X 10.8 and the versions of LuaTex and ConTeXt are This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.70.2-2012052309 (TeX Live 2012) ConTeXt ver: 2012.11.23 17:35 MKIV fmt: 2012.11.26 int: english/english Thank you.
