linenumbering
by Thomas A. Schmitz 14 Jul '12

14 Jul '12

OK, here's another one. For the code, I must admit: http://www.alyssahiba.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/no-idea-what-im-doing-… I think it was the Wolfgang who helped me with this a couple of months ago. I want a start/stop pair that will take as an argument a key-value to set the beginning of the line numbering. So here's my example: \def\startnumberedblockquote {\dosingleempty\dostartnumberedblockquote} \def\dostartnumberedblockquote[#1]% {\getrawparameters[numberedblockquote][start=1,#1]% \blank[line]% \begingroup \setupindenting[no]% \setuplinenumbering[location=text] \startlinenumbering[width=1cm][\numberedblockquotestart]} \def\stopnumberedblockquote {\stoplinenumbering \endgroup \blank[line]} \starttext \startnumberedblockquote[start=3] \input knuth \stopnumberedblockquote \stoptext This works with 2012.06.30 12:32, but not with 2012.07.07 15:04. All best Thomas

setupcaptions
by Meer, H. van der 13 Jul '12

13 Jul '12

I want to make my figure captions both slanted and small, or bold and small,etc. The wiki has for setupcaptions: headstyle normal, bold, .. , small, .. style normal, bold, .. , small, .. I therefore expected to work the following setup: \setupcaptions[headstyle={slanted,small},style={bold,small}] \starttext \placefigure{A dummy figure}{\externalfigure[dummy]} Caption test. \stoptext But no, two seems too much. style={bold} does work and style={small} but style = {bold,small} does not. From the general principles of ConTeXt's parameter handling I would have expected this to work. Of course I could have used style={\bf\switchtobodyfont[small]}, but I would prefer to refrain from low level font commands when possible. I am right the setupcaptions should work with combined fontsettings, or is it my mistake? Hans van der Meer

seeindex: accents and such
by Andreas Mang 13 Jul '12

13 Jul '12

Dear all, I have some minor problems with \seeindex It seems that it does not render accents properly nor is it possible to introduce commands. Is this an intended behavior, am I doing something wrong or is there a bug? Cheers, Andreas Minimal example: \setupregister[index] [ style={\bf\WORD}, balance=yes ] \starttext % seeindex does not render ssharp properly Wei{\ssharp}wurst\index{Wei{\ssharp}wurst}\seeindex{German sausage}{Wei{\ssharp}wurst} % same holds for accents M\"unchner Wei{\ssharp}bier\index{M\"unchner Wei{\ssharp}bier}\seeindex{good beer}{M\"unchner Wei{\ssharp}bier} % switching font style {\sc Test}\index[Test]{\sc Test}\seeindex[Test]{Testing}{\sc Test} \completeindex \stoptext

bodyfont message
by Meer, H. van der 11 Jul '12

I get this message in the log because of font usage: fonts > bodyfont 70pt is defined (can better be done global) fonts > bodyfont 84pt is defined (can better be done global) fonts > bodyfont 56pt is defined (can better be done global) I am inclined to follow the suggestion, but I cannot think of the most correct way to do this.

postponing broken?
by Alan BRASLAU 11 Jul '12

11 Jul '12

Hello, In the latest beta, postponing seems to be broken (or changed). Minimal example: \starttext \input tufte (see \in{figure}[fig:cow].) \startpostponing [+0] \startplacefigure [location=here,reference={fig:cow}, title={A cow that does not break the paragraph}] \externalfigure [cow] [width=.5\textwidth] \stopplacefigure \stoppostponing \input tufte \stoptext Explanation: In order to have figures placed near their first reference in the text, and to avoid the paragraph break that results from placefigure, I enclose it in between \startpostponing[+0]\stoppostponing. In the latest beta, all the figures (and their references) disappear. Using a slightly older version ConTeXt ver: 2012.06.28 10:00 MKIV fmt: 2012.6.28 int: english/english this works (but the figure in the minimal example above gets pushed to the following page?).

misprint in wiki
by Meer, H. van der 11 Jul '12

11 Jul '12

In the wiki under \setupexternalfigures one finds for the framing of the figure following in the table: "frames on off" Mark the 's' at the end of 'frames' I tested it and found it has to be 'frame' without the 's'. This is the same misprint as occurred in the earlier ConTeXt manual of 2001. Perhaps someone knowledageable about changing the wiki can verify this and will be so kind as to update the wiki.

Tagged PDF
by Wray, Paul 11 Jul '12

11 Jul '12

Hello all First of all I must say that I am a complete newbie to the TeX world. I am evaluating Context for generation of PDFs for educational use. We aim to produce PDFs that are accessible to screen reader users and for that reason we would like to create tagged PDFs. My initial experiments with tagged PDF have so far been unsuccessful. I am using ConTeXT standalone, (ConTeXT ver: 2012.07.07 MKIV fmt:2012.7.8 int: english/english ). I am using this tex file as a test input (have left in line breaks in case that is significant): \setupstructure[state=start] \starttext \startbodymatter \startchapter[title=Chapter 1] The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. \stopchapter \startchapter[title=Chapter 2] Now is the time for all good people to come to the aid of the party. \stopchapter \stopbodymatter \stoptext When I open the resulting PDF in Adobe Acrobat 10.0.3 and show the tags navigation pane, it says "No tags available". Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong?

unknown library lmodern
by Meer, H. van der 10 Jul '12

10 Jul '12

I spot in the log the following message: fonts > typescripts > unknown: library 'lmodern' Does this point to a problem? In good faith I believe I have a fairly standard installation. And in /usr/local/texlive/2012 the TeXlive distribution. Neither adding \setupbodyfont[modern,14pt] nor omitting all \setupbodyfont's changes this. Hans van der Meer

two more bugs in latest
by Thomas A. Schmitz 10 Jul '12

10 Jul '12

Hi all, sorry for bringing the bad news all the time... There are two more bugs in the latest beta which I just stumbled upon: userpage=bysection does not work, pdf bookmarks are not produced. Example: \setupuserpagenumber [state=start,way=bysection] \setupfootertexts [{\getmarking[sectionnumber]} -- \userpagenumber] \setuphead [section] [page=yes] \setupinteraction [state=start] \placebookmarks [section] [all] \starttext \startsection [title=First Section] \dorecurse{10}{\input knuth \par} \stopsection \startsection [title=Second Section] \dorecurse{10}{\input knuth \par} \stopsection \stoptext Gives expected results with 2012.06.30 12:32, but not with 2012.07.10 00:56.

Table of Contents & Section Numbering
by Malte Harder 10 Jul '12

10 Jul '12

Dear all, I'm quite new to ConTeXt and I'm just trying to set up a template for my first project. I'm using MkIV and the ConTeXt Standalone nightlies. I've encountered the problem that I was not able to create a table of contents (neither \placelist,\placecontents, with setuplist or without worked). I do not get any error, but there is also no list generated. I think, I tried every hint I found on this list. At that point I thought it might be a problem with the version I'm using and upgraded to the latest beta. However the problem remains. I'm using the project features, frontmater/backmatter and custom headers, but also with everything turned off the placelist does not work? Does anybody know what the problem could be? Another problem, which occured only with the latest nightlies, is that Chapters, Sections and Subsesctions all apparently share the same counter and simply count up from 1, so the first section has number 2 instead of 1.1 and so on. Is this a temporary bug or did something change that needs specific setup? Thanks in advance! Malte

Page Backgrounds
by Kip Warner 10 Jul '12

10 Jul '12

Hey list, On the cover page of my book I'd like just an image displayed and another image used as the background for every other page in the book. So I put this in my environment, % Cover image... \definelayer [CoverImage] [x=0mm, y=0mm, \paperwidth, \paperheight] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=CoverImage] \setlayer [CoverImage] % name of the layer {\externalfigure [Makeup/Images/Cover.jpg] [align=center, \paperwidth, \paperheight]} % the actual contents of the layer % Regular background image... \definelayer [BackgroundImage] [x=0mm, y=0mm, \paperwidth, \paperheight, repeat=yes] \setlayer [BackgroundImage] % name of the layer {\externalfigure [Makeup/Images/Background.png] [align=center, \paperwidth, \paperheight]} % the actual contents of the layer , the following in the book's first page, \setupbackgrounds[page][background=CoverImage] , and the following on second page, \setupbackgrounds[page][background=BackgroundImage] . But this does not work properly. What ends up happening is the cover image is displayed correctly, but every page after that just has a blank white background. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

Incorrect spacing in math
by Otared Kavian 09 Jul '12

09 Jul '12

Hi Hans, In mkiv, the spacing of an index in the integral sign, in displayed math, is incorrect since a few weeks: for instance \starttext \startformula \int_{\Omega}f(x)dx = \int_{0}^\infty g(t)dt \stopformula \stoptext gives an Omega which is too far away from the integral sign. (Using ConTeXt ver: 2012.07.08 20:02 MKIV fmt: 2012.7.8 int: english/english). In mkii there is no bug in this regard. Is there a quick fix for this? In some of my documents I must use mkiv and the appearance of this bug is a little bit annoying… (I already reported this bug in June). Best regards: OK

new beta 2012.07.09 22:35 failing
by Meer, H. van der 09 Jul '12

09 Jul '12

This is beta: ConTeXt ver: 2012.07.09 22:35 MKIV fmt: 2012.7.9 int: english/english It fails me with (see below). I am fairly sure now this must be an error seeing the minimal example provided. Here is the most minimal example I could concoct: \setuphead[chapter][header=high] \starttext \chapter{c-one} \stoptext structure > sectioning > @ level 1 : 1 -> c-one ! Extra \else. system > tex > error on line 3 in file practicum.tex: Extra ... 1 \setuphead[chapter][header=high] 2 \starttext 3 >> \chapter{c-one} 4 \stoptext 5 6 \def\edition{2012} % the year of production 7 8 \disablemode[concept] % concept/final 9 10 \disablemode[docent] % typeset teacher info 11 12 \input setup % parameter settings 13 \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \strc_sectioning_handle ...ioning_after_yes \else \ifconditional \c_strc_sec... l.3 \chapter{c-one} I guess the problem is signalled in strc-sec.mkiv where strc_sectioning_after_yes occurs in lines 780, 802 and 943, the first two seem the most likely candidates. I do not see at first hand a wrong \if\else\fi count there. Maybe the culprit hides elsewhere. Hans van der Meer

imposition broken again

With at least today’s and yesterday’s beta I can’t get no satisfaction WRT imposition. Before, only 2UP was broken, and I got a workaround. Now, every schema that I tried doesn’t do anything.

beta
by Hans Hagen 09 Jul '12

09 Jul '12

Hi, In the process of mkiv-ing a new beta has been uploaded. This time the rendering of sections has been dealt with. New is that one can use 'setups' for rendering. This mechanism is still somewhat experimental (and might get improved) but the idea is given below: \starttext \section{test} \unexpanded\def\whatever#1#2{[#1][#2]} \setuphead[section][command=\whatever] % traditional \section{test} \defineheadplacement[whatever]#1#2{(#1)(#2)} % traditional \setuphead[section][command=,alternative=whatever] \section{test} \defineheadalternative % new [whatever] [alternative=vertical, renderingsetup=whatever] \startsetups[whatever] /\headnumbercontent/\headtextcontent/ \stopsetups \setuphead[section][command=,alternative=whatever] \section{test} \stoptext There are some helpers. These fetch content: \headnumbercontent \headtextcontent These are dimensions: \headwidth \headtextwidth \headnumberdistance \headnumberwidth This is for local spacing setup: \headsetupspacing These are conditionals \headshownumber \headisdisplay Maybe these names will change. Setups are also used in constructions (the building blocks for descriptions, enumerations, notes etc) but there some more work is needed. The code is somewhat faster, but that will probably go unnoticed unless one has documents with hundreds of heads.

Broken Nightly 2012.07.08 20:02 - unpredictable errors on blank lines
by Prashanth 09 Jul '12

Hi, I get mysterious error messages on blank lines or on lines that were completely innocuous a month ago.

modes + arranging
by Thomas A. Schmitz 09 Jul '12

09 Jul '12

Hi all, sorry for the slightly silly example, but it's something I can't figure out, and it has worked before. For processing my documents, I have defined a mode which will arrange pages. Here's the silly example test.tex: \startmode[arranged] \setuppapersize[A6][A4] \setuparranging[2*4] \stopmode \setuppagenumbering[state=stop] \starttext \dorecurse{8}{\null\vfill\centerline\recurselevel\vfill\null\page} \stoptext When I process this with context --mode=arranged test I get the expected output. When I process it with context --mode=arranged --arrange test the pages are NOT arranged. I need the --arrange switch for my data, and I don't understand what's going wrong here. Behavior is the same with current beta and a slightly older version (06.30). Thanks Thomas

Check brackets and parentheses
by Gilbert Houtekamer 06 Jul '12

06 Jul '12

Hi, I sometimes find myself looking for misplaced and missing brackets for a long time, as context may given errors about a completely different location. For example this one took me a while \goto{\url[localhost20381}[url(localhost20381)] (missing ] after this localhost20381). Is there a SciTE or Notepad++ or command line script that anyone wrote to help with this? It can be more or less sophisticated, but I found that missing / mismatched { [ ] } give the most confusing errors. Thanks, Best regards/vriendelijke groeten Gilbert

Hi, I would like to place line numbers in a multipage document. \startlinenumbering lots of text filling several pages \stoplinenumbering What I would like to have, and fail to find, is an option to that would restart the numbering on every page as I do not need to reference each line. e.g. finding line 15 on page 6 is fine. \setuplinenumbering doesn't seem to provide an option. Anything I can do? Thanks! Martin

itemize behaviour
by Meer, H. van der 06 Jul '12

06 Jul '12

I do not understand the workings of the itemize. What I want is two nested itemlists. The outer one unpacked, the inner one packed. In the inner one the itemlist should be joinedup with the text before it. I do not get this working, see the examples. The inner list is separated from the "Intro to inner list". It looks like the joinedup in the second example has no effect, because deleting it makes no difference. Switching the joinedup over to the outer itemize in the third example pulls everything together and destroys the unpacked of the first list. How to achieve the following? ---------------------------------- - Intro to inner list o one inner list o two inner list - second outer item ---------------------------------- Hans van der Meer \starttext \setupitemgroup[itemize][1][unpacked][symbol=4] \setupitemgroup[itemize][2][unpacked][symbol=5] \startitemize \startitem Intro to inner list. \startitemize \startitem one inner list \stopitem \startitem two inner list \stopitem \stopitemize \stopitem \startitem second outer item \stopitem \stopitemize \blank\thinrule\blank \setupitemgroup[itemize][1][unpacked][symbol=4] \setupitemgroup[itemize][2][packed,joinedup][symbol=5] \startitemize \startitem Intro to inner list. \startitemize \startitem one inner list \stopitem \startitem two inner list \stopitem \stopitemize \stopitem \startitem second outer item \stopitem \stopitemize \blank\thinrule\blank \setupitemgroup[itemize][1][unpacked,joinedup][symbol=4] \setupitemgroup[itemize][2][packed][symbol=5] \startitemize \startitem Intro to inner list. \startitemize \startitem one inner list \stopitem \startitem two inner list \stopitem \stopitemize \stopitem \startitem second outer item \stopitem \stopitemize \stoptext

clutter with \start and \stop
by Peter Münster 05 Jul '12

05 Jul '12

Hi, Say I want Tufte in 2 columns and Knuth in 1 column: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- \starttext \startcolumns[n=2] \startsection[title=Tufte] \input tufte \stopsection \startsection[title=Tufte and Knuth] \input tufte \stopcolumns \input knuth % \startcolumns[n=1] knuth \stopcolumns does not work \startcolumns[n=2] \input tufte \stopsection \stopcolumns \stoptext --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- It works, but isn't this a bit ugly to mix up the \starts and \stops ? In XML, that would be wrong. Is this just the normal ConTeXt way, or is there a cleaner method? TIA for any hints, -- Peter

Re: [NTG-context] framed \\

Sorry, missed the inclusion of the output of the minimal example. In the ConTeXT manual I see that a construct \framed{A\\B\\C} should type set as three lines below each other: A B C But instead the \\'s disappear without a trace. Did I miss some change on the use of \\'s in \framed? Could it be a sideeffect of recent changes? Hans van der Meer \starttext \framed{A\\B\\C} \stoptext

Centering a figure vertically on a page
by Marcin Borkowski 03 Jul '12

03 Jul '12

Hello, the subject line basically covers my problem: I have a large (tikz) figure, and I want to have it by itself on a page, centered both horizontally and vertically. How can I achieve this? I already know that \setuppagenumber[state=stop] is a good idea, and \midaligned{...} gives me horizontal centering; what about vertical? The problem is that the figure is larger than the text area (and this doesn't bother me, it's a game board and it may extend almost to the paper border), so \vfill doesn't work (and \vss doesn't, either). TIA -- Marcin Borkowski http://mbork.pl

10. BayTeX @ München (21st July at 2 p.m.)
by Mojca Miklavec 02 Jul '12

02 Jul '12

Hello, I'm forwarding invitation & call for papers for the 10th Bavarian TeX user meeting which will be held in Garching bei München in a bit less that three weeks. Talk proposals should be submitted until the end of the week (8th). The text below is in German only. I apologize for that, but I believe that it is of major interest for German-speaking users anyway (but if anyone would like to go and needs translation or extra information, feel free to contact the organizers). Mojca ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Leo Arnold <latex at arney.de> Date: 2012/7/1 Subject: [TeX-MUC] 10. BayTeX @ Munich: Kurz- & Tafelvorträge erwünscht Liebe TeXniker, die zehnte bayerische TeX-Konferenz wird am Samstag 21. Juli 2012, ab 14:00 Uhr in München stattfinden. Designierter Tagungsort ist das Fakultätsgebäude Mathematik/Informatik der TU München auf dem Forschungscampus in 85748 Garching bei München. Informationen zur Anmeldung, Anfahrt und zum Programm werden nach und nach auf der folgenden Website bekannt gegeben: http://www-m6.ma.tum.de/Lehrstuhl/BayTeX2012 ***** Call for Talks ***** Die Konferenz lebt von euren Vorträgen und da sie nur einen Nachmittag umfasst, freuen wir uns auch über kurze Vorträge von etwa 15 Minuten. Beamer ist dabei keine Pflicht, auch freie Vorträge, Vorträge mit Tafel & Kreide und Vorträge mit echten OHP-Folien sind möglich. Wir wollen diesmal unsere Gastgeber, also alle Mathematiker und Informatiker der TU München einladen, und ihnen zeigen, das TeX mehr als nur Mittel zum Zweck für wissenschaftliche Veröffentlichung ist. Wer also auf der BayTeX - eine interessante Anwendung von TeX in seinem Berufsalltag - einen speziellen Trick in TeX - ein neues TeX-package - typografische Regeln oder Details vorstellen möchte, meldet sich bitte bei mir unter LaTeX(a)arney.de . Wir wollen so viele Vorträge wie möglich unterbringen, ohne den zeitlichen Rahmen zu sprengen. Mit freundlichen GrüßŸen Leo Arnold i.V. Uwe Siart

[***SPAM***] quotationmarks just before new line

Hello, It frequently happens to me that a new line in an output-document starts just after a quotation mark.

Two questions about buffers
by Marcin Borkowski 30 Jun '12

Hello, I have two questions concerning buffers. 1. What is the difference between \grabbufferdata and \dostartbuffer? 2. I wanted to use buffers to define my own "environment" (as Wolfgang suggested to me a few days ago). However, there's a problem with \baselineskip; here is an example: \starttext \def\startMyEnv{\dostartbuffer[MyEnv][startMyEnv][stopMyEnv]} \def\stopMyEnv{{\tfxx\getbuffer[MyEnv]\par}} \input tufte \startMyEnv \input knuth \stopMyEnv \input tufte \stoptext Am I doing something wrong here?

itemize in two columns and pagebreaks
by Marcin Borkowski 30 Jun '12

Hello, I encountered a weird problem with \startitemize[columns] Namely, sometimes ConTeXt (MkIV) puts a pagebreak before the itemization.

Are there any solutions/workarounds known? Best, -- Marcin Borkowski http://mbork.pl

beta
by Hans Hagen 27 Jun '12

27 Jun '12

Hi, I uploaded a new beta. In the process of cleanup I kicked out some of the supp-* modules, most noticeably the visual debugger. That one has been replaced by another mechanism and a merge of some functionality already present in modules (and more might be moved into it). As they are often used for testing, \ruledhbox, \ruledvbox and \ruledvtop remained and all the others have been replaced by placeholders (and might go away). The \show* commands are mostly dummies (and will disappear) but these remain: \showmakeup \showallmakeup \showstruts \showglyphs Hopefully this doesn't spoil your playing with low level tex stuff. The good news is that the current implementation provides more detail, is more colorful, and comes on (pdf) layers (so that you can hide categories). \showallmakeup \starttext \ruledhbox{hbox} \blank \ruledvbox{vbox} \blank \ruledvtop{vtop} \blank {\definedfont[Serif*default at 30pt] g ff} \blank test \strut test \blank \input ward \par \stoptext You can use \enabletrackers[visualizer.*] with * being fontkern, kern, glue, penalty, hbox, vbox, all, reset, makeup, whatsit, and glyph.

How to obtain a Polish en-dash?
by Marcin Borkowski 27 Jun '12

27 Jun '12

Hello, in Polish we usually use "--" as a dash (between different parts of a sequence, for instance), but we surround it by thin spaces (and the left one is "hard", like "~"). Is there a way in ConTeXt (MkIV) to obtain this behavior using some "tricky" syntax (like |--| or just -- surrounded by spaces) or is it better to define a custom command, like \def\Polishdash{\unskip\kern 0.2em--\hskip 0.2em\ignorespaces} (this is more or less taken from LaTeX's suite for Polish typesetting)?

[callbacks] proper registration, node subtypes
by Philipp Gesang 26 Jun '12

26 Jun '12

Hi all, I need a (pre-linebreak) callback to behave the same way with the Context and Plain formats. *The sequence that nodes are traversed in is very important.* Afaict the callback will have to be registered as a “processors”/“before” nodes task. However, the behavior is not identical: 1. If the list contains a vlist or hlist, the callback is applied first on the inner list and then on the outer list. (Guess: it’s applied on the hpack_filter as well?) 2. In Plain, glyph nodes have subtype 0 (GLYPH_CHARACTER), while in Context it’s 1 (GLYPH_LIGATURE). Example code is appended. Questions: - Which node task gets me a behavior similar to the raw pre_linebreak_filter?[*] - Does the difference wrt node subtype matter assuming I only (a) copy glyph nodes and (b) manipulate their .char field? Any insights on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Regards Philipp [*] If this is not possible|recommended, what would a clean solution look like?

Math integral bug in the latest beta

Dear Hans, I noticed that with the latest beta (version 2012.06.22 11:22) there is an issue with the distance of bounds in integral signs. More precisely trying the following minimal example \starttext \input ward\par \startformula \int_{\Omega}f(x)dx = 1 = \sum_{n=1}^\infty a_{n} \stopformula \stoptext one gets the PDF available at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4316076/math-integral-bug.pdf while with a previous version of mkiv (2011-11-29) one has the correct ouput, as one may see here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4316076/math-integral-2011-11-29.pdf Note that \Omega is too far away from the integral sign with mkiv version 2012-06-22.

Hopefully someone (other than me) will provide the right info for that (goes in status-mkiv.lua). Some 64 modules to go. When all the tex code is done, I'll go over the lua code. When all that is done, we have to hope a rather clean repository (Mojca is working in that) and starting point for the real challenges.

ConTeXt and SciTE
by Bill Meahan 20 Jun '12

20 Jun '12

I'm trying to get the SciTE lexers that come with the ConTeXt distribution working but I'm not having much luck. SciTE certainly processes the ConTeXt start-up script but never does any highlighting. I always get the warning that lpeg is not loaded but I cannot find any separate lpeg.properties file or lpeg.lua file so I don't know how to get it imported and active to run the lexers. Any suggestions? Interestingly, the lexers work just fine in Textadept but I haven't quite figured out how to get them to load automatically. I have to manually select the lexer but it works fine once I do. I'm inclined to go the Textadept route and build a nice snippets file and Adeptsense support but I'd like to see things running in SciTE, too. Right now I'm using Emacs to do my editing but AUCTeX does a poor job of supporting ConTeXt and when I asked about future plans on the AUCTeX mailing list, I got a snarky, sarcastic reply that "code doesn't change itself." Typical FSF attitude, I see. If I'm going to have to write my own support, Lua is much closer to the languages I've used before than elisp so it should be considerably easier. Of course, I'll pass on anything I come up with to the ConTeXt community. -- Bill Meahan K8QN "The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails." -- William Arthur Ward This message is digitally signed with an X.509 certificate to prove it is from me and has not been altered since it was sent.

combined style?
by Meer, H. van der 19 Jun '12

19 Jun '12

I had hoped to be able to combine style features in parameters, in this manner: \macro[param={a,b}]. Doing this with foregroundstyle did not work, see the following examples: \framed[foregroundstyle=italic]{ABCD} => typesets in italic \framed[foregroundstyle=small]{ABCD} => typesets small \framed[foregroundstyle={small,italic}]{ABCD} => typesets not in small-italic but first "small,italic" followed by the framed ABCD Of course the effect wanted can be obtained by \framed[foregroundstyle={\tfx\it}]{ABCD} But my problem is the fact that I would like to use style settings from within XML-nodes in the following manner: <node style="small,italic"> leading to somewhere a call of \setupsomething[foregroundstyle={small,italic}]. It is a pity that <node style="small" style="italic"> does not work, because with two successive calls \setupsomething[foregroundstyle=small] \setupsomething[foregroundstyle=italic] the first setting is lost. Translating internally smallitallic to \tfx\it is a remote possibility, but then each and every combination has to be provided for. There are simply too many of them if one wants to combine size (small,large) type (mono,calligraphic,serif,sansserif) and (bold, italic, slanted, normal). Is there a solution? Hans van der Meer

Refreshing (synchronizing) values between Lua variables and TeX registers
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 18 Jun '12

18 Jun '12

Hello ConTeXist and Lua experts Is there any way to refresh values between the values stored in Lua code and TeX registers? I need to evaluating the values of TeX registers (counters, dimensions, height of boxes, etc.) during the Lua cycle. I would like in the cycle read values from the TeX registers and write back there so that all values were always synchronized. Or I need advice on how to proceed. Most of my Lua code is in a separate file in Lua function. Is there a universal way to "jump out of cycle" to TeX synchronize all values between TeX registers and Lua values (even at the cost of slowing down) and then go back into the cycle and continue? I do not write cycles using the TeX macro language, but so far I'm failing in way around it. What I need to I knowing or What I need to learn? Thanx Jaroslav Hajtmar The minimal example shows (maybe) what I mean: \newcount\testcount \def\countrefresh{\directlua{tex.count.testcount = tex.count.testcount + 1}} \def\universalrefreshcommand{\directlua{-- ???}} \def\printdebuginfo{ \directlua{tex.sprint(': ',tex.count.testcount, " - ", "\\the\\testcount","\\par")} } \starttext Here values are not synchronized: \testcount=0 \startluacode local i=0 for i=1,5 do tex.sprint(i) tex.count.testcount = tex.count.testcount + 1 tex.sprint("\\printdebuginfo") end \stopluacode \blank[big] Here values of textcounter are synchronized: \testcount=0 \startluacode local i=0 for i=1,5 do tex.sprint(i) tex.sprint("\\countrefresh") tex.sprint("\\printdebuginfo") end \stopluacode \blank[big] Is there a universal way to "jump out of cycle" to TeX synchronize all values between TeX registers and Lua values (even at the cost of slowing down) and then go back into the cycle and continue? \testcount=0 \startluacode local i=0 for i=1,5 do tex.sprint(i) tex.count.testcount = tex.count.testcount + 1 tex.sprint("\\universalrefreshcommand") tex.sprint("\\printdebuginfo") end \stopluacode \blank[big] \stoptext

labeltext assignment
by Philipp Gesang 18 Jun '12

18 Jun '12

Hi all, there appears to be something special about how the key-value list works with \setuplabeltext: ······································································· \setuplabeltext [ foo=bar, %% <- comma not allowed here? % foo=bar %% <- works ] \starttext \labeltext{foo} \stoptext ······································································· Normally the trailing comma causes no trouble, but here it won’t even compile. Best regards Philipp

Deleting "-temp" files
by Aditya Mahajan 18 Jun '12

18 Jun '12

Hi, context --purgeall deletes all temporary files (i.e., files containing "-temp-"). In fact, I had requested this feature so that the filter module does not clutter the current directory with temporary files. However, there is a bug. ConTeXt deletes all files containg "-temp" (note the missing "-" at the end). So, $ touch A1-temperature.tex $ context --purgeall gives mtx-context | purged files: A1-temperature.tex AFAICS, mtx-context.lua is correct. It contains "-temp-" as expected. So, I don't know why files containing "-temp" are deleted. Aditya

outlines don't work?
by Erik Margraf 16 Jun '12

16 Jun '12

Dear list! I would like to use the "outline" feature of context. The following (hopefully minimal) example gives me <Nothing> as output ------------------- \starttext \setupcolors[state=start] \definelayer[L] \setupbackgrounds[page][background={L}] \startuseMPgraphic{PN} graphictext "Bla Bla" scaled 4 withcolor blue withfillcolor .7white withpen pencircle scaled 2pt; \stopuseMPgraphic \null\dontcomplain \setlayer[L]{\useMPgraphic{PN}} \stoptext ---------------- I saw a probably related post on this list on May, 30th. (subject "graphictext fails) Also, my .mpy file is empty. A .tex file and a .pdf is generated though My environment is as follows: OS: Debian AMD64 wheezy / sid Context: current version: 2012.06.13 23:46 (tried also some older versions, no difference) pstoedit: 3.60 (maybe some problems here?) Anything else of importance? Thanks in advance for any help or hint. Erik

parameter setting
by Meer, H. van der 16 Jun '12

16 Jun '12

In order to be able to use attributes on xml-nodes freely, the following situations can arise: The foregroundcolor parameter gets a value: <node color="red"> correctly sets ..[foregroundcolor=\xmlatt{#1}{color}] color to red. However, in the next case the current foregroundcolor should be left as is, but reverts to black: <node> ..[foregroundcolor=] and is apparently reset to the general default. trying the following seemed the solution, but it does not work: ..[\doifnot{\xmlatt{#1}{color}}{\empty}{foregroundcolor=\xmlatt{#1}{color}}] giving in the log: {foregroundcolor=orange}' in line 16 (249>:) check > missing or ungrouped '=' after '\doifnot {}{} Putting the above \doif inside an \expanded{} does not alter the behaviour. How to accomplish leaving the parameter as is for an absent attribute? Hans van der Meer
