Paragraph numbering
by MANUEL GONZALEZ SUAREZ 12 Dec '14

12 Dec '14

Hello everyone. I have a small question about paragraphs numbering. With LaTeX we have the possibility of numbering \paragraph and \subparagraph. With ConTeXt we have commands \subsubject, etc. What I like to do is number one paragraph in middle of the text, with the possibility of making a reference to it, with no spaces before or after. Something like this: [1] Text of the first paragraph. [2] Text of the second paragraph ... Should I use the \label or another command? Thanks.

two issues with new hyphenator
by Pablo Rodriguez 11 Dec '14

11 Dec '14

Many thanks for your new beta, Hans. >From the previous beta with the new hyphenator, I have two issues. With the new hyphenator, \hyphenation isn’t honored, such as in this sample: \setuphyphenation[method=traditional] \hyphenation{Nietz-sche} \starttext \hsize\zeropoint Nietzsche \stoptext Has the command been deprecated with the new hyphenator? The second issue is the ability to enable underscore hyphenation. Is there any way to apply the following definition to \hyphenatedurl? \unexpanded\def\underscorehyphenation#1% {\dontleavehmode \begingroup \prehyphenchar\minusone \localrightbox{\llap{\smash{\lower.1ex\hbox{_}}}}% \setbox\scratchbox\hbox{#1}% \prehyphenchar`-\relax \unhbox\scratchbox \endgroup} (This is adapted from the last sample in lang-url.mkiv.)

Hans, the sample below hyphenates right what comes before \TexC in the paragraph. Also the contents of \TexC are hyphenated right.

Ctx & XML
by Lukáš Procházka 11 Dec '14

11 Dec '14

Hello, I'm having problem using LuaXml library with Ctx, both using Lua ver. 5.2. LuaXml works fine with Lua standalone programs/scripts; but something weird occurs when used from within Ctx (e.g. a .xml file can be read successfully from standalone Lua with LuaXml lib; but the same code doesn't give the desired result when used in combination with Ctx; a problem might be version mismatch - I'm still using both Lua 5.1 and 5.2 including 3rd party modules in my scripts - but my latest tests with Ctx & LuaXml should have avoid this; or namespace mismatch...?). Anyway, does native Ctx XML API (has it its own namespace, like 'context.xml'?) provide a function to load a .xml file and to return its XML tree as a table, with nodes (as a table with node attributes as table members) in a proper sequence... something like LuaXml's 'xml.load("file.xml")' does? Or how to achieve this in a best way under Ctx: XML file -> Lua table/tree? Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

Problems with repeating layers
by Reza Housseini 10 Dec '14

10 Dec '14

Hello I try to use layers to position a figure on top of the leftmargin area. I use code like the following: \definelayer[MyLayer][option=test] \setupbackgrounds[text][leftmargin][background=MyLayer] \setlayer[MyLayer][x=0cm,y=0cm] {\externalfigure[cow][width=2cm]} This image get's repeated every page but I only want it on the first page. The parameter state=start does not change anything. Is there a way to disable the layer on the next page. Also there seems to be a bug with \showframe. When I use this command my figure is only displayed on the first page (as desired). When I use \setupbackgrounds[page][background=MyLayer] this problem does not occur. But I have to shift the figure to place it in the leftmargin. I tried to use another concept like \definelayer[test] \startuseMPgraphic{oeps} register ("somepos-1",0cm,0cm,center currentpicture) ; \stopuseMPgraphic \setMPlayer [test] [somepos-1] {\externalfigure[cow][width=2cm]} \getMPlayer [test] {\useMPgraphic{oeps}} but that does not seem to work at all. Thanks for any help Cheers, Reza

equivalent to \newcommand{...}{\ensuremath{...}}
by j. van den hoff 09 Dec '14

09 Dec '14

hi list, new to `context' and my first question to the list: how can I achieve the following (`latex') behaviour: \newcommand{\km}{\ensuremath{K_m}} We can now use \km\ in the body text as well as in this \begin{equation} \km = 1 \end{equation} display equation. in `context'? I've tried something like \def\km{\math{K_m}} We can now use \km\ in the body text but get sytnax errors when putting it in this \startformula \km = 1 \stopformula formula. but this fails for obvious reasons (as would using `$$' instead of `ensuremath' in the `latex' case). so what I need is a way of defining (potentially complex) math-expressions via some shortcuts/definitions/macros/abbreviations (whatever) which I can then use in the formula environment (or whatever it's called in `context'...) as well as in the body text. any help appreciated, joerg -- Using Opera's revolutionary email client: http://www.opera.com/mail/

Pass a lua table to metapost
by DesdeChaves 09 Dec '14

09 Dec '14

I would like to pass the lua table keys and values to metapost. In the keys i have information about the paths names and in the values i have information about the label that should be draw in the center of each path (unitsquare). In my code (see attach) the table in question is "weekdays_number_and_name". I know that is possible to pass a array from metapost to lua. Is the reverse possible? thanks in advance Jorge
