[luatex-plain] disappearing math-on node
by Dohyun Kim 06 Apr '14

06 Apr '14

Hi, This is a bug report based on the issue discussed at https://github.com/lualatex/luaotfload/issues/212 \font\tenrm{file:lmroman10-regular.otf:mode=node;script=latn}\tenrm \setbox0\vbox{% x\penalty-10000 $a$x$a$ } \unvbox0 \setbox0\lastbox \unhbox0 \end The plain tex code shown above fails with a lua error: luatex-fonts-merged.lua:9616: attempt to index local 'current' (a nil value) My guess is: as math-on (math-off too) is a "discardable" item after a linebreak, the first math-on node has gone away. So the math-on/math-off pair has become broken, by which the behavior of "node.end_of_math" is confused. Regards, -- Dohyun Kim Seoul, Republic of Korea

page reference to figure fails when figure location is "none"
by Sanjoy Mahajan 06 Apr '14

06 Apr '14

Using a recent MkIV beta (2014.03.27), it seems that a page reference to a figure fails if the figure location is "none." Here is a minimal example: \starttext \input knuth \placefigure[none][regularref]{}{\pagereference[workaroundref] \externalfigure[cow.pdf]} \input knuth See \at{page}[workaroundref] or \at{page}[regularref] \stoptext The log file has references > unknown reference '[][regularref]' and the .pdf file has See page 1 or page ?? That is, the "\at{page}[regularref]" doesn't work. (But the workaround reference does work.) If the figure's location key is changed from "none" to "nonumber" or just deleted, then the regularref page reference works. It also works with MkII (with or without "none"), so I am guessing that it is a bug in MkIV. -Sanjoy

Multiple bibliographies (bib-module, mkiv)
by Peng Zhang 06 Apr '14

06 Apr '14

Dear all, I am searching for a solution where I can use two different sources of bib files separately. I found that the same question was asked before at this mail list. Since it was few years old, could I ask if there is any new work done towards it? Thanks! Peng http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2010/048290.html Hello, I need two bibliographies for my document, »Primary sources« and »Secondary sources«. Two bibliographies was created and loaded with \setupbibtex[database={prim,sec}]. But for the last step in my intention I’m looking for something to the effect that \placepublications[database=prim] or in a similar manner to \nocite{*} for every bib-database. Is there any solution or workaround? Thanks Markus

Line numbering in columns broken
by Jeremy Engel 05 Apr '14

05 Apr '14

In the latest beta (2014.04.03 16:20) there are updates to the line numbering system that break its function in columns.

In the example below, the line numbering passes over everything twice resulting in two overlapping numbers for each line. \starttext \startlinenumbering \startcolumns \input{knuth} \stopcolumns \stoplinenumbering \stoptext

[fontloader] does base mode support combining substitutions?
by Philipp Gesang 05 Apr '14

05 Apr '14

Hi Hans, when combining e.g. certain number substitutions like onum and pnum or tnum and lnum, node mode seems to work fine. However, those do have value in math mode as well which node mode does not currently support. For comparison, here is a test file: https://bitbucket.org/phg/lua-la-tex-tests/raw/93745dba31e23febb02191c039de… Is there a way to define a font with the combination of, say tnum and lnum that will work in math mode? If not, are there plans to implement it in the future? Best regards, Philipp

Bugs in linenumbering ?
by Stéphane Goujet 05 Apr '14

05 Apr '14

Hello, Here is an example that highlights a few problems I have with linenumbering. When the line numbers are located in the margin, everything is fine. But when the number is located in the text: 1) Text overflows in the right margin. 2) Paragraph indenting does not work. We can even see a kind of right indentation appear. 1+2 => First line of the paragraph is too short, netx ones are too long. 3) linenumbering does not work within footnotes (neither with line numbers in margin nor in text). Perhaps (3) is not implemented, but I suppose (1) and (2) are not the expected behaviour. ============================== \setuppapersize[A4] \setupindenting[yes,first,medium] \definelinenumbering[lnbasic] \definelinenumbering[lntext] \definelinenumbering[lntextandnullwidth] \definelinenumbering[lntextandwidth] \setuplinenumbering[lnbasic][] \setuplinenumbering[lntext][location=text] \setuplinenumbering[lntextandnullwidth][location=text,width=0pt] \setuplinenumbering[lntextandwidth][location=text,width=.75em] \starttext {\bf A normal paragraph for reference}. \input tufte \startlinenumbering[lnbasic] {\bf Numbers in margin : correct right margin, paragraph indentation.} \input tufte \stoplinenumbering \startlinenumbering[lntext] {\bf Numbers in text, default width : overflow, no indentation of the first line but some kind of right indentation!} \input tufte \stoplinenumbering \startlinenumbering[lntextandnullwidth] {\bf Numbers in text, 0 width : no overflow but overtype on numbers, same problem with indentation.} \input tufte \stoplinenumbering \startlinenumbering[lntextandwidth] {\bf Numbers in text, average width : average overflow, same problem with indentation.} \input tufte \stoplinenumbering It also affects the previous lines when {em line numbering} starts from the middle of the line and not on a new paragraph. \startlinenumbering[lntext] {\bf Numbers in text, default width : overflow, no indentation of the first line but some kind of right indentation!} \input tufte \stoplinenumbering Line numbering does not work in footnotes\footnote{ \startlinenumbering[lnbasic] {\bf Numbers in margins.} \input tufte \stoplinenumbering } \footnote{ \startlinenumbering[lntext] {\bf Numbers in text.} \input tufte \stoplinenumbering }. \stoptext ============================== Goodbye, Stéphane.

URL oddity
by Rik Kabel 03 Apr '14

03 Apr '14

Below are two MWEs. The only difference is with \setupinteraction. When the resulting link is copied from the pdf and pasted into a browser, one can see that there is a trailing / added to the interactive version, but not to the non-interactive version. For this url (and many others), that causes a 404 failure. Additional experimentation shows that a second / is not added when a trailing slash has been provided. This is not the case with TL2013. It is the case with 2014.03.28 15:04 MKIV beta. Why has the trailing slash added? Is this an intentional change? If so, is there a method to invoke the older behavior. \starttext \useURL[aurl][http://www.mieleusa.com/manuals_pdf/Residential/Ovens/H387-2_us.pdf] \from[aurl] \stoptext \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext \useURL[aurl][http://www.mieleusa.com/manuals_pdf/Residential/Ovens/H387-2_us.pdf] \from[aurl] \stoptext -- Rik

Set two symbols in relative coordinates
by "H. Özoguz" 02 Apr '14

02 Apr '14

Hi, because of some lacks of my font, I have to use some ugly font-hacks (bad, I know, but have no choice, because there is still really no good arabic font for setting quran, seems to be to hard for the world). One of these hacks is to define a new letter by setting to symbols in relative coordinates/position to each other. E.g. I have here an alif (just like a vertical line) together with a dot above it: \define\dotalif{{ا \hskip-0.2em{\arial ۟}\hskip0.2em}} with \hskip I can control the relative position horizontally. How to control the vertical position, without effecting or switching the line - like \vskip would do. Is there a method to bring it in position (relatively, using em as unit), without affecting the normal text? Maybe as overlay or something like that? Thanks. Huseyin

Stretching only specified columns with Natural Tables

I would need something like this: \setupTABLE [column] [last] [width=default] I don't want a fixed width on the last column, it should have the default width. I can't use "\setupTABLE [column] [...] [width=broad]" for all columns but the last, because instead of distributing the space equally, it makes all "broad" columns the same width, and instead of leaving the other columns untouched, it makes them narrower. Thanks and kind regards, Joshua

Adjusting overbar for a special font
by "H. Özoguz" 01 Apr '14

01 Apr '14

Hello there, I tried to overbar an arabic word, and noticed, that the bar is too low and overlaps the letters. While producing a minexample, I noticed that this might be a issue of my font, because this does not happen with Arial. See this minexample: \definefont[arial][name:arial*arabic at 12pt] \definefont[arabicuth][file:UthmanicHafs1Ver09.ttf*arabic at 12pt] \starttext \startalign[r2l] \arial كَلَّا لَا تُطِعْهُ \overbar{وَٱسْجُدْ} وَٱقْتَرِب ۩ \arabicuth كَلَّا لَا تُطِعْهُ \overbar{وَٱسْجُدْ} وَٱقْتَرِب ۩ \stopalign \stoptext and compare the compiled pdf in attachment. You can download the used font-file "UthmanicHafs1Ver09.ttf" here: http://fonts.qurancomplex.gov.sa/download/UthmanicHafs1Ver09Font.zip We have discussed this font here month ago, hans commented: "yes, but calling this a normal font is somewhat over-the-top" So it is quite "special" - but still best available font (free or commercial) for typesetting the holy quran. But setting the bar a bit higher should be easily possible, independent of these font-lacks, right? The solution should be independent from the chosen font-size. Thanks! Huseyin

TLS and externalfigure
by Thangalin 30 Mar '14

30 Mar '14

Hi, I have images hosted on a local web server using a self-signed certificate. For example: https://localhost/images/.../file.png When using ConTeXt, the image cannot be retrieved; a verified signed certificate works as expected. Using wget, self-signed certificates can be forced: wget --no-check-certificate https://localhost/images/.../file.png Does ConTeXt have a way to ignore/bypass certificate validation? If so, how? (Note: the certificate's common name is currently blank, which does not match 'localhost' -- I can fix that if required...) Thank you!

Feature request: use rsvg-convert
by Thangalin 30 Mar '14

30 Mar '14

Hi, Re: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Using_Graphics#Image_Conversion I recommend using rsvg-convert instead of inkscape. For example: wget http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Inkscape_0.48.2_with_Red_Gallardo.svg -O car.svg time rsvg-convert --format pdf car.svg --output car-rsvg.pdf time inkscape --file=car.svg --export-pdf=car-inkscape.pdf --without-gui wget http://openclipart.org/download/people/TheStructorr/TheStructorr_Lamborghin… -O car2.svg time rsvg-convert --format pdf car2.svg --output car2-rsvg.pdf time inkscape --file=car2.svg --export-pdf=car2-inkscape.pdf --without-gui Here, inkscape is slightly faster yet produces slightly larger files. inkscape 0.48.4 r9939 (Jan 22 2014) rsvg-convert version 2.40.2 More importantly, inkscape renders incorrectly. The horizontal and vertical rule marks are missing in the first image. The gradient shadows are missing in the second image, and the grill is incorrect (looks like a layer order issue).

mirrored leftmarginwidth in enumerations
by Sanjoy Mahajan 30 Mar '14

30 Mar '14

If anyone has a suggestion for putting enumeration texts toward the right edge of the left margin, I would be grateful. In MkII enumerations, I would put a triangle (fig.2) in the left margin using \defineenumeration [pause] [title=no, text={\externalfigure[fig.2][height=1em]}, location=inleft, number=no, ] The triangle was automatically aligned toward the right side of the left margin (fill glue on the left), which was what I wanted, on even and odd pages. In MkIV, the marginal text is automatically aligned to the left side. I restored the MkII effect using this hack (using a > instead of the triangle, to make the example more self contained): \defineenumeration [pause] [title=no, text={\hbox to \leftmarginwidth{\hfil $>$}}, number=no, alternative=inleft, ] But I just realized that the hack doesn't work for double-sided layouts. Using the leftmarginwidth is correct on the odd pages, but it is too big for the even pages. Thus, on page 2 of the example below, the > overlaps the "question" text. Is there a more idiomatic MkIV replacement for my hack? Or is my hack okay, but ConTeXt should be updated to interpret leftmarginwidth to mean "the leftmarginwidth, as appropriate for an odd or an even page"? Here is the example: \setuplayout[marking=on,location=middle, backspace=1.25in, leftmargindistance=0.125in, leftmargin=0.625in, width=4.75in, rightmargindistance=0.25in, rightmargin=0.25in, ] \setuppagenumbering[alternative={doublesided}] \defineenumeration [pause] [title=no, text={\hbox to \leftmarginwidth{\hfil $>$}}, number=no, alternative=inleft, ] \def\question#1{\startpause\relax #1 \stoppause} \showframe \starttext \question{hello} \page \question{hello} \stoptext

Defining commands in \start ... \stop

Hi, Concerned with the answers to the [that topic](http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2014/077099.html), I was thinking if I could define a command "Exercise" with a optional argument (the "Answer"). \defineblock[question] \defineblock[answer] \defineenumeration[question][text={Question}] \defineenumeration[answer] [text={Answer}] \keepblocks[question] \hideblocks[answer] Something like \startexercise My execise ... \stopexercise If no more is provide, at the question does \incrementcounter[answer] If \startexercise{\startsolution The solution is \stopsolution} My exercise \stopexercise then \beginanswer and \startanswer is called. Is it possible? I just want to know if it's better to have \startBla...\stopBla command or \Bla{} command type? In the case of the first, how do you define that? I did not find it here (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Commands_with_optional_arguments) Thanks, Xan PS: Please CCme

Linenumbering and bidi
by Rik Kabel 28 Mar '14

28 Mar '14

I have requirements similar to those of Stéphane Goujet to reproduce the typography of earlier times, and I tried to adapt the code presented in his note earlier today titled “Quotation blocs with repetition symbol in the left column.” The result of this attempt is the discovery of two issues with linenumbering. I will present these in separate notes. This note involves an unfortunate interaction with bidi. The other problem involves startnarrower. Both issues occur with the current 20140328 beta. Adding the line \setupdirections[bidi=on,method=two] to Stéphane’s example results in the disappearance of the guillemots that would otherwise be placed as linenumbers. In my case, this bidi variant is needed to prevent misplaced references. The issue of misplaced references was discusssed in a recent thread by Pablo Rodriguez (Re: [NTG-context] (again) bug with bidi direction and \about references, begun on 3 March). The bidi issue does not occur with TL2013, although perhaps method=two is meaningless there. Other bidi options do not show this problem. -- Rik Kabel

Linenumbering and startnarrower
by Rik Kabel 28 Mar '14

28 Mar '14

I have requirements similar to those of Stéphane Goujet to reproduce the typography of earlier times, and I tried to adapt the code presented in his note earlier today titled "Quotation blocs with repetition symbol in the left column." The result of this attempt is the discovery of two issues with linenumbering. I will present these in separate notes. This note involves an unfortunate interaction with startnarrower. The other problem involves bidi. Both issues occur with the current 20140328 beta. Placing one of the examples in Stéphane's message into a startnarrower environment results in a shift of the linenumbered section to the left margin. As an example, replace his final section with the following: \setupnarrower[left=2cm,right=2cm] \startnarrower[left,right] Now, a quote block starting just there, {\bf in the middle of a line} ({\bf space after colon is too big}):\startbloccitel\input tufte \input tufte \stopbloccitel . This a bit of text at the end of the quotation. It {\bf seems fine}. And let's call a {\bf footnote}\footnote{\startbloccitel\input tufte \input tufte \stopbloccitel}. Unfortunately {\bf no quote repetition symbol will appear in it}. \stopnarrower -- Rik Kabel -- Rik Kabel

Different size points in ellipsis
by Stéphane Goujet 28 Mar '14

28 Mar '14

Hello again, If you look at one of the images in my previous post (I attached it here again), you may notice the ellipsis (that has 5 periods instead of 3, but that is not my concern). Its last period is bigger, to indicate the fusion of the ellipsis and the sentence final period. It does not seem stupid to me, so, out of curiosity (I believe, in the end, I will stick to the modern typography, even if it is more confusing), could that be easily typeset with Context ? Either with a bigger final period, or with a normal size final period and other smaller ones. I guess the second way is better, for consistency with other periods in other sentences. So far, I have defined ellipsis (all periods having the same size) as: \unexpanded\def\ell{{\def\periodswidth{.4em}\periods[5]}} Regards, Stéphane.

lower superscripts in MkIV -- too low?

Dear math typesetting aficianados, In the following example, \starttext $x^3\ x\mathstrut^3$ \stoptext the superscript without the strut is about 2pt lower than with the strut, using MkIV. With MkII or plain TeX, they are the same height (at the higher position obtained by using the \mathstrut in MkIV). My eye tells me that the higher position looks more right. Do others agree? Or, if it's a matter of taste, is the difference configurable so that one can get the MkII behavior even without the \mathstrut? -- -Sanjoy

quick and shallow question about layers
by Schmitz Thomas A. 27 Mar '14

27 Mar '14

Hi, this is pretty shallow, but maybe someone knows a way: for one of my presentation, every slide has a (different) picture as background. The title is typeset within a narrow colored frame which extends across the entire slide. Is there any way to make the background picture show through the letters of the title, i.e. make the letters transparent within the colored frame? I thought of metapost’s infill, but it appears that this only adds a background color, not real transparency. Hope the question is clear enough - just in case someone has a suggestion; my life doesn’t depend on it! Thanks and all best Thomas

much slower compilation with latest beta
by Pablo Rodriguez 25 Mar '14

25 Mar '14

Hans, I’m afraid there might be something wrong with beta from 2014.03.24 00:52. With a book I’m writing, either in complete (from a previous --purgeall) or partial (from previous .tuc and .log files) compilation, the latest beta needs 8 runs to compile a document. It takes about 140 secs with luatex and about 100 with luajittex. Document source is exactly the same in all cases. The same document with beta from 2014.03.07 11:42 (sorry, I don’t have the previous beta) requires a single run for a partial compilation which about 12 secs. Total compilation needs 4 runs that take about 50 secs. I think that the same may happen with the ConTeXt reference manual. Since compilation is not direct, all statistics I can provide is that it took 358.491 secs with latest beta from 2014.03.24 00:52. and 296.778 secs with previous beta from 2014.03.07 11:42. I guess there might be a bug here. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

proposal about link borders
by Pablo Rodriguez 23 Mar '14

23 Mar '14

Hi Hans, many thanks for fixing the issue with links (and other two issues about PDF information). I have two proposals about hyperlinks, after having looked at an uncompressed file with hyperlinks. AFAIK, they haven’t been implemented (I have checked the wiki, the “ConTeXt Commands” documents, the reference manual, and the source [I apologize, if I have overlooked something]). My first proposal would be an option to have link borders enabled. I guess that something like \setupinteraction[linkborders=on] would be a good choice. With this option, one can have an interactive version and a printable version of a document in the same file. This is extremely useful in many scenarios. My second proposal would be an option to have colored link borders. \setupinteraction[linkbordercorlor=on] could be the option to enable color in link borders. I think both proposals could be useful for (at least for some) interactive documents. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Placing arbitrary pdf bookmarks
by Jean-Philippe Rey 22 Mar '14

22 Mar '14

Hello all, I am willing to use ConTeXt to produce a bunch of stickers. My stickers are grouped into categories but I don't want any headers or titles to interfere with the layout of the stickers, so I didn't use \startchapter and the likes. However, I would like to add pdf bookmarks in order to quickly jump to the start of a category. After taking a look at strc-bkm.mkiv, I tried the following \setupinteraction[state=start] \definelist[building] \definelist[aisle] \placebookmarks[building,aisle] \starttext \bookmark[building]{B1} \bookmark[aisle]{A1} Sticker 1 Sticker 2 \page \bookmark[aisle]{A2} Sticker 3 Sticker 4 \page \bookmark[building]{B2} \bookmark[aisle]{A3} Sticker 5 Sticker 6 \stoptext But it didn't worked. I didn't get any error message but no bookmark either. How can I directly add a bookmark to the pdf table of contents ? Previously I was using the ReportLab toolkit which provided for this purpose the bookmarkPage and addOutlineEntry functions. Is there a similar solution with ConTeXt ?

suppressing console output
by Lars Huttar 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

Hello, I'm running context mkiv, version: 2013.05.28 00:36 (from the 2013 TeX Live CD). We're getting floods of output from context, including lots of Underfull hboxes, and the names of .tex files that are being opened and closed. This is all within a build script that does several other things besides running context. I'd like to suppress non-critical output from context so that other important output from the script doesn't get so easily lost. I'm already logging that output to a file, but I'd like to be able to take advantage of the console as well. I've tried the following command-line options to context, as suggested by context --help: --batchmode --silent --silent=typesetting --noconsole but none of these seem to have any effect on the output! I could just have the script discard stdout from context; I'm not sure how much of the output that would get rid of, but it may be good enough. However it's not ideal. (When an error occurs, as sometimes happens, I don't want the error message and its context to be hidden while the console waits for the user to respond blindly. I assume that would be on stderr anyway though...) Can anyone tell me how to suppress non-critical messages from context as it runs? Thanks, Lars

Index register page entry numbers missing
by Rik Kabel 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

In the following example, page number entries in the index are not displayed when a blank line is inserted in the text, but do appear without that blank. This happens with both the current 20140316 standalone beta and with TL2013. (I noticed this constructing MWEs for other index register problems. It is likely not a problem in real life, but may provide insight into other issues.) \starttext Why do the entry page numbers disappear when a blank line follows this line, and reappear when the blank line is removed?

vertical alignment of margindata
by Thomas A. Schmitz 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

Hi, apologies for the slightly silly example, but I hope it shows my problem: from processing an xml file, I have material which is best typeset in some sort of table environment (I think). It also has some sort of sectioning mechanism which is displayed as margindata. If you typeset the example, you can see that these margindata are aligned to the bottom line of the table. Is there any way to make them align to the top? Bonus points if they are aligned with the content of the first table row (and not with the top border of the table).

\seeindex and secondary index (register) levels
by Rik Kabel 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

How can I get \seeindex to refer to other than the top-level of an index entry? In the following MWE, I would like to link to /text+more/, not /text,/ and not /text+some/. That is, the highlight should include the name of the lower level(s). The actual link should be to the page with the entry for the reference text in the case that the top level is on one page of the index and the secondary entry on the next page. If this cannot be done, I can live with a separate \index{text, more} entry, but that is ugly when there are other text+something entries. I would also like to be able to specify the format of the reference, perhaps with before/middle/after keys. This would allow /text -> more/ or otherwise as my publisher's style guide may require. \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext Some text\index{text+some}. More text\index{text+more}. And more\seeindex{I want}{text+more} and more\seeindex{I get}{text}. \placefootnotes \placeindex \stoptext -- Rik

Text background regression in 20140316 beta
by Rik Kabel 16 Mar '14

Hans and list, Previous to the 20140316 beta, we were able to prevent text backgrounds from bleeding over the footnote space with \chardef\kindofpagetextareas\plusone as you described in a 2008 list entry.

The register mechanism has been adapted a bit and this was probably a positive side effect. Some changes: - using mixed columns - support for: referencemethod=forward (smaller tuc files) - more efficient interactive support (esp when no page numbers) - better keeping entries and subentries together Apart from that the beta has some (small) speed improvements and there will be a slightly different index anchoring once the new version of luatex is available on all platforms. Also, the beta has slightly different low level implementation of some of the interactive features (which can result in more efficient pdf files in some cases). In fact, due to some other changes, pdf files could be smaller anyway.

i know that \cite can be called like \cite[ref], \cite{ref}, \cite[options][ref], and \cite[options]{ref} is there a difference between curly braces and brackets? what options apart from “start”, “end”, “data”, and “alternative” does it know, and how do “data” and “alternative” work? best, philipp

starttexdefinition error in standalone, works in TL2013
by Rik Kabel 12 Mar '14

12 Mar '14

The following code processes cleanly under TL2013 and fails with ConTeXt ver: 2014.02.14 17:07 MKIV beta fmt: 2014.2.16 int: english/english. I suspect a regression, but I am also open to being told that I am doing things incorrectly. I also notice that it fails (even under TL2013) if a space is inserted after [#SETUP] in the doTrans intro. I thought that spaces should be allowed in \starttexdefinition -- is this only in the body and not the parameter description? % macros=mkvi \showframe \let\EndTranslation\relax \starttexdefinition Trans \dosingleempty\doTrans \stoptexdefinition % The following should work, but fails with current beta \starttexdefinition doTrans [#SETUP]#TRANSLATION\EndTranslation \language[en] \doifsomething{#1}{\getparameters[TR][setup=,#SETUP]\TRsetup} \noindentation\blank[halfline] (\,\ignorespaces#TRANSLATION\removeunwantedspaces\,) \stoptexdefinition \starttexdefinition Translation \dosingleempty\doTranslation \stoptexdefinition % This version works with both Texlive and current standalone beta \def\doTranslation[#SETUP]#TRANSLATION\EndTranslation% {\language[en]% \doifsomething{#SETUP}% {\getparameters[TR][setup=,#SETUP]\TRsetup}% \noindentation\blank[halfline]% (\,\ignorespaces#TRANSLATION\removeunwantedspaces\,)% } \starttext Translation using \tex{def}{\tex{doTranslation}} works both with TL2013 and current beta. \Translation[language=en] It betrays a slow-witted mentality to pursue the streams, but not to see the sources of things. \EndTranslation \blank Translation using \tex{starttexdef doTrans} fails with current beta. \Trans[language=en] It betrays a slow-witted mentality to pursue the streams, but not to see the sources of things. \EndTranslation \stoptext -- Rik Kabel

MP bounding box

Hi, I run into a problem with the bounding box calculation of a MP graphic. Seems like very small values are represented in scientific notation and MP can't handle those. Example attached.

confusion about expansion
by Lars Huttar 12 Mar '14

12 Mar '14

Hello, I've got a running page head like this in my document: \def\CurrentUser{\cldcontext{os.resultof"whoami"}} \def\Markname { Compiled \date by \CurrentUser \LUATEX +\ConTeXt\ \contextversion } and later: \setlayer[cropmark][preset=lefttop,x=3cm,y=-1.5\lineheight]{\Markname} But when I run this, I get a UCS error that seems to indicate that the *result* of \CurrentUser ("waxhaw\huttar") is getting parsed as a command sequence. Here's the error: ! Undefined control sequence. 1 >> % see ConTeXt wiki http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Imposition#Cut_marks 2 3 %% TODO: make sure this doesn't reevaluate every time 4 %% the command sequence is used! 5 \define\CurrentUser{\cldcontext{os.resultof"whoami"}} 6 7 \def\Markname { Compiled \date by \CurrentUser \LUATEX +\ConTeXt\ \conte xtversion. SVN } ... l.1 waxhaw\huttar \cldcontext #1x-\directlua {context(#1)} \Markname #- Compiled \date by \CurrentUser \LUATEX +\ConTeXt \ \contextvers... l.24 ...t=lefttop,x=3cm,y=-1.5\lineheight]{\Markname } How can I change the definition of \CurrentUser, or \Markname, to output the result of \CurrentUser as-is, instead of parsing the result? I tried (somewhat blindly) changing \def to \define, but it didn't make any difference. At the same time, I want to make sure that the processor won't be making an OS system call to "whoami" every time \CurrentUser is evaluated: I want it to happen only once, when \CurrentUser is defined. Here is my complete working example: \def\CurrentUser{\cldcontext{os.resultof"whoami"}} \def\Markname { Compiled \date by \CurrentUser \LUATEX +\ConTeXt\ \contextversion. } \setuplayout[location=middle,marking=on] \definelayer[cropmark][state=repeat,width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=cropmark] \setlayer[cropmark][preset=lefttop,x=3cm,y=-1.5\lineheight]{\Markname} \starttext Foo \stoptext Thanks for any help.
