Dear gang, In the attached, we export hemistiches: =============== \setupexport[cssfile=sh_ahmad-qajar.css] \setupbackend[export=yes] \usemodule[hemistich] \setuphemistich [width=local, distance=1\emwidth, separator=] \setuphemistich [leftcolor=, separatorcolor=, rightcolor=] \setuphemistich % [separator=\vl\hskip.25em\vl] [separator=] %% We need separate lines in the export, so use \start|stoplines \definestartstop[VERSES][before={\blank[medium]\startlines \noindentation},after={\stoplines \blank[medium]}] \starttext \startVERSES \hemistiches{Become a shunner of your affairs;}{Entrust all affairs to the Decision.} \hemistiches{Thus tight spaces will often widen;}{And open spaces will often get tight.} \stopVERSES \stoptext =============== In the output we get =============== <div> <div class="lines"> <div class="line"><div class="line">Become a shunner of your affairs;Entrust all affairs to the Decision.</div><div class="line">Thus tight spaces will often widen;And open spaces will often get tight.</div></div> </div> </div> =============== Is there anyway to tag and export the distance info: distance=1\emwidth so that we can get some space in the xhtml. Note that I do not expect any of the alignment that the hemistiches module provides. Just some reasonable space. That said: How do I design a \start|stophemistiches environment that would get tagged in the output as such (i.e., <div class="hemistiches">)?

ePUB creation problems
by Gerben Wierda 18 Mar '15

18 Mar '15

I’m getting to the next phase of ePUB creation. My project now exports and with mtxrun —script epub, I can create an actual ePUB, but there are issues I need to fix. One is the lack of a cover image. The command for epub creation works, but says: (. /usr/local/src/ConTeXt/tex/setuptex && mtxrun --script epub --make "prd_book") mtx-epub | using specification file 'prd_book-export/prd_book-pub.lua' mtx-epub | the 'mudraw' binary is not present mtx-epub | cover page image 'cover.xhtml' is not present mtx-epub | saving dummy coverpage to 'prd_book-export/cover.xhtml' I’m using in the env file: \setupbackend [export=yes] \setupexport [title={Chess and the Art of Enterprise Architecture}, author={Gerben Wierda}, firstpage={9789081984058-CoverFront.jpeg}, ] So, what seems to be ignored is \setupexport [title={Chess and the Art of Enterprise Architecture}, author={Gerben Wierda}, firstpage={9789081984058-CoverFront.jpeg}, ] What am I missing?

[MetaFun] Decorating running text
by Norbert Melzer 18 Mar '15

18 Mar '15

Hi there! I have some text (a single word) which I want to decorate using MP. In this special case, I want to put a little crown above the "g" in the word "Shogun". Also the crown and text should get scaled accordingly to the surrounding text. ```tex \define\Shogun{\startMPcode draw textext("Shogun") \stopMPcode} \starttext The word \Shogun\ shall be decorated with the crown shown in fig~\in[fig:crown]: \placefigure[here][fig:crown]{The crown that shall decorate the \quote{g} in \quotation{Shogun}}{ \startMPcode fill (-20,-17.5)--(20,-17.5)--(30,12.5)--(10,-2.5)--(0,17.5)--(-10,-2.5)--(-30,12.5)--cycle withcolor yellow ; \stopMPcode } \stoptext ``` I wanted to try to draw the text using MPs draw, but then the baselines doesn't match as you can see in the example. Also I don't know how I could ensure that the text and the crown would crow accordingly to the surrounding text.

Now that I have something working on mkiv, I'd like to try ePUB
by Gerben Wierda 18 Mar '15

18 Mar '15

Now that I have my book project basically running on mkiv (the layout probably has a few problems left, the main one currently being extra whitespace after a chapter heading compared to mkii), I’d like to try producing ePUB from it. ConTeXtgarden says I have to add a backend and points me to the info on the standard project structure (which I use), but there I don’t find anything about a backend. The extended example says that starting january 2015, things have changed with ePUB, which probably also applies to me as I only recently started with a fresh download of a current ConTeXt mkiv. So, can someone tell me what I need to do to get a basic ePUB output? And what command do I run to update my separate ConTeXt tree? And which one to find out what version I’m running? G

Hello, I'd like to get: "%Home%" with \hyphenatedfilename to the Ctx output.

indentnext=auto
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 18 Mar '15

18 Mar '15

Dear gang, For export we have to tag paragraphs. After block quotes, itemizations, etc, the context determines whether the first line of the next paragraph should be indented, so we use the indentnext=auto mechanism. But with \start|stopparagraph it doesn't seem to work: See attached. ==================== \setupindenting[big,yes] % Do not indent the first line of a block quote \setupdelimitedtext[blockquote][before={\blank[medium] \setupindenting[no]},after={\blank[medium]}] % Do not indent the first line after a block quote \setupdelimitedtext[blockquote][indentnext=auto] \starttext \startparagraph \input ward \stopparagraph \startblockquote \input ward \stopblockquote \startparagraph \input ward \stopparagraph \startblockquote \input ward \stopblockquote \startparagraph \input ward \stopparagraph \stoptext ==================== From what I understand, if [indentnext=auto] is activated then a blank line after the environment should activate indenting; no blank line after the environment should impede indenting. In this example, we get no indentation either way. Am I missing something, or is it a bug? By the way, something like \setupdelimitedtext[blockquote][indentnext=yes] \startparagraph[indenting=no] \input ward \stopparagraph would be a nice feature. Any chance?

Exporting highlights
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 16 Mar '15

16 Mar '15

Dear gang, Ok, I'm rolling up my sleeves and taking another stab at exporting to xhtml (maybe even epub). Major project, so taking this one small step at a time. The immediate aim is to get correct output in a browser (I use Opera, and Chrome as a control). Test files attached. Immediate problem is highlights. ============export-highlight.tex============== \setupbackend [export=yes,css=highlight.css] \definehighlight[emphasis] [style=italic] \definehighlight[important][style=bold] \definehighlight[regular][style=\tf] \starttext \startchapter[title=Highlights] \startparagraph This is \emphasis{emphasis}. This is \important{important}. This is \regular{regular}. This is \emphasis{some emphasized text, with \regular{regular} in between}. This is \important{some important text, with \regular{regular} in between}. \stopparagraph \stopchapter \stoptext =============================================== In highlight.css (copied from export-sample.css and modified) I added these lines: ================== highlight [detail="emphasis"]{ font-weight : italic ; } highlight [detail="important"]{ font-weight : bold ; } highlight [detail="regular"]{ font-weight : regular ; } ================== Results: =======export-highlight-tag.xhtml======== <sectioncontent> <paragraph>This is <highlight detail="emphasis">emphasis</highlight>. This is <highlight detail="important">important</highlight>. This is <highlight detail="regular">regular</highlight>. <break/> This is <highlight detail="emphasis">some emphasized text, with <highlight detail="regular">regular</highlight> in between</highlight>. <break/> This is <highlight detail="important">some important text, with <highlight detail="regular">regular</highlight> in between</highlight>.</paragraph> </sectioncontent> =======export-highlight-div.xhtml======== <div class="paragraph">This is <div class="highlight emphasis">emphasis</div>. This is <div class="highlight important">important</div>. This is <div class="highlight regular">regular</div>. <div class="break"></div> This is <div class="highlight emphasis">some emphasized text, with <div class="highlight regular">regular</div> in between</div>. <div class="break"></div> This is <div class="highlight important">some important text, with <div class="highlight regular">regular</div> in between</div>.</div> ========================================= Observation: Opera won't render *-raw.xml, so we ignore that file. In a browser we have Challenge 1: Neither export-highlight-tag.xhtml nor export-highlight-div.xhtml renders the highlights. What do we need to do? Challenge 2: export-highlight-div.xhtml breaks the line before a highlight as well as after a highlight. What is missing here? Aim: To turn my current project into an epub, or at least something that can be viewed in a browser (xhtml). Caveat: I don't know much web development (css, xhtml, div, etc) but am willing to work with what I have... but only IF there is a finish line. If there is no finish line (i.e., things are too broken at the moment to get the mission accomplished via what ConTeXt and CSS provide) kindly let me know so I can stop now! Henning Hraban Ramm and Aditya Mahajan mentioned XSLT stylesheets, but this is probably way above my paygrade, unless someone can give me very simple newbie pointers.

Problem with MkIV and TikZ picture remembering
by Jörg Weger 13 Mar '15

13 Mar '15

In the minimal working example below inside of a text two words should be printed inside of rounded TikZ rectangles and should be connected by an TikZ arrow pointing from the first word to the other. TikZ offers the remember picture/overlay option for that. The MWE works in MkII (command “texexec”) which I am not using, but not in the latest MkIV (command “context”). The problem might be that according to the PGF/TikZ manual “You need to use a driver that supports picture remembering and you need to run TEX twice” (16.13.1 Referencing a Node in a Different Picture). So my questions are: 1.) Does LuaTeX support TikZ picture remembering? 2.) If so, how can I get ConTeXt MkIV to “run TeX twice”? 3.) If all of the above worked, would that work also if the inline TikZ pictures to be remembered are on another file referenced via \input? I have seen a solution similar to what I want to achieve in the METAFUN manual but I don’t have a clue how to get that METAPOST alternative working. Greetings Jörg %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% START MWE %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \usemodule[tikz] \usetikzlibrary[shapes.misc,arrows] \starttext \tikz[baseline,remember picture] \node[rounded rectangle,draw,anchor=text] (n1) {this}; belongs to \tikz[baseline,remember picture] \node[rounded rectangle,draw,anchor=text] (n2) {that}; \starttikzpicture [remember picture,overlay] \draw[->] (n1.north) to [bend left] (n2.north); \stoptikzpicture \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% STOP MWE %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

setup for paragraph styles
by mf 13 Mar '15

13 Mar '15

Hello, I'd like to kwnow the commands I should use in ConTeXt to define styles for paragraphs of text that are not headers/titles nor normal text. With titles I know I must use: \definehead[MyTitle][title] \setuphead[MyTitle][...] What should I use for texts like subtitles, dates of letters, signatures? They are "paragraphs" often made by a few words, with a different alignment, margins, style and vertical space above and below. For a long quote I've seen that I can use: \definedelimitedtext[MySpecialText] \setupdelimitedtext[MySpecialText] Are those the right commands for my purpose in ConTeXt? In particular, I'm typesetting XHTML, where all those elements are <p class="subtitle">, <p class="letter-date">, <p class="signature"> and so on. An example taken from my xml environment: ... \startxmlsetups xml:myenv \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{*}{-} \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{html|body|h3|p|i}{xml:*} ... \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{p[@class='letter-date']}{xml:p:letter-date} ... \stopxmlsetups ... \startxmlsetups xml:p:letter-date \page[no]\rightaligned{\noindent\xmlflush{#1}}\par\page[no] \stopxmlsetups ... Is that the right way or is it better to define and setup a style like this? \define_???_[LetterDate] \setup_???_[LetterDate][ before=..., after=..., ..., ] and use it like this: \startxmlsetups xml:p:letter-date \startLetterDate \xmlflush{#1} \stopLetterDate \stopxmlsetups And if it's better like that, what should I write instead of _???_ ? Thanks, Massi

bug in paragraph footnotes?
by Pablo Rodriguez 12 Mar '15

12 Mar '15

Dear list, I’m afraid that the following sample shows a bug in interline space for footnotes: \startsetups[setups:footnote] \setupinterlinespace[line=6ex] \stopsetups \setupnotation[footnote][alternative=serried] \setupnote[footnote][paragraph=yes, setups=setups:footnote] \starttext \dorecurse{2}{These are footnotes\footnote{\input knuth}. } \stoptext Could anyone confirm it or explain me what I’m missing? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
