[***SPAM***] TexLive on Cygwin (native-ish)

The shell script, "context" which runs MKIV comes from this in TeXLive /texmf-dist/scripts/context/stubs/unix/context and not from MS-Windows. The unix in the above link to context leads me to believe that it is a unix Posix version of Context. Regardds

How to debug XML processing
by stephleg＠free.fr 20 Oct '13

20 Oct '13

Hello, After reading "Getting Web Content and pdf-Output from One Source" by Thomas A. Schmitz, i'm trying to use the same method to build a PDF file from a HTML one. But i quickly found that when something doesn't work as expected, it's pretty hard to debug because it's hard to tell if the error come from the environment file, the lua code or something else. So are there some useful tricks to debug this kind of processing besides the \enabletrackers command? Especially is there a way to view the generated ConTeXt code after the macro expansion? Thank you. Regards, Stéphane.

Re: [NTG-context] Simplefonts

In August 2013 Aditya and Hans provided the following wizardry to include math symbols from pagella when using euler as math font. http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg71000.html (Thank you to all involved!

bug in multiple layouts?

Dear list, I have a sample with multiple layouts: \showframe \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided, location=] \setuplayout[margin=20mm, width=fit, topspace=45mm, bottomspace=25mm, height=fit] \definelayout[shorter][backspace=80mm, cutspace=20mm, topspace=110mm, bottomspace=30mm] \setuplayout[shorter] \setuplayout[reset] \definelayout[1][shorter] \definelayout[2-last][reset] \starttext \dorecurse{20}{\input knuth\par} \stoptext I found two issues: the first lines on the second page have the margin from previous page, and from the third page text doesn’t reach the page bottom. Am I missing something or have I found a bug? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Conditional Column Breaks
by Thangalin 18 Oct '13

18 Oct '13

Hi, How would you create a conditional column break that is only applied if inserting the break does not result in a page break? For example, in the following code the "if" statements exemplify the desired behaviour: \setuphead[chapter][ before={\startcolumns[n=2, balance=no,]}, after={\stopcolumns}, ] % If the section is the last section in the chapter % *and* the section is not in the last column *and* % inserting a column break does not cause pagination... \setuphead[section][ before={% \if_last_section{% \if_not_last_column{% \if_fits_in_last_column_without_pagination{\columnbreak} } } }, ] \starttext \startchapter \startsection[title=Section1] \input knuth \stopsection \startsection[title=Section2] \input zapf \stopsection \startsection[title=Section3] \input knuth \stopsection \stopchapter \stoptext Many kind regards.

Simplefonts
by Wolfgang Schuster 18 Oct '13

18 Oct '13

Hi all, I’m happy to announce a new version of the simplefonts code. Thew new version of the code is a complete rewrite and brings many changes. 1. The module is now part of the core and no external module is needed anymore. 2. The commands to select a font have changed to commands which fit better to context normal syntax. 3. I removed the keys to enable font expansion and protrusion, when you need them use \definefontfeature. To use a font with the simplefonts code two ways are available. The first method is to create one or more typefaces and load it with \setupbodyfont. A complete example for this is: \definefontfamily [mainface] [serif] [DejaVu Serif] \definefontfamily [mainface] [sans] [DejaVu Sans] \definefontfamily [mainface] [mono] [DejaVu Sans Mono] [feature=none] \definefontfamily [mainface] [math] [TeX Gyre Pagella Math] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext \startlines \rm DejaVu Serif \ss DejaVu Sans \tt DejaVu Sans Mono \m{c^2 = a^2 + b^2} \stoplines \stoptext The second method is similar to the old commands of the simplefonts module (e.g. \setmainfont) where the font is enabled after it was set and no \setupbodyfont is necessary. Below is a example for this method but I recommend to avoid this method because it’s slow when you set font a font for each style in your document. \setupfontfamily [serif] [DejaVu Serif] \setupfontfamily [sans] [DejaVu Sans] \setupfontfamily [mono] [DejaVu Sans Mono] [feature=none] \setupfontfamily [math] [TeX Gyre Pagella Math] \starttext \startlines \rm DejaVu Serif \ss DejaVu Sans \tt DejaVu Sans Mono \m{c^2 = a^2 + b^2} \stoplines \stoptext Another feature of simplefonts is the ability to set a fallback font when you need certain glyphs from a different font (e.g. for cyrillic ) which aren’t available in the mainfont of the document. To set such a fallback font the code provides the \definefallbackfamily command where you can set in the fourth argument the range for the replacement characters. \definefallbackfamily [mainface] [serif] [DejaVu Serif] [range=cyrillic,force=yes] \definefontfamily [mainface] [serif] [TeX Gyre Pagella] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext \input knuth Традиционная систематика лишайников оказывается во многом условна и \stoptext Wolfgang

How to add a new unit for \unit{} command?
by Romain Diss 18 Oct '13

18 Oct '13

Hi all, I want to add new units to the \unit{} command but I can't find how to do it. I found that one can changes existing units with the following luacode: languages.data.labels.units.whatever = {Meter = "retem"} but I found nothing to add new ones. I would like to have, for exemple: \unit{50 milli volt per division} to give: 50 mV/div. Thanks in advance. -- Romain Diss <romain.diss(a)yahoo.fr>

structure level limitation for \fullheadnumber

Hallo, I added a level (without numbering) to the existing sections; that works fine. But I also need the ability to "limit" the \fullheadnumber function, so that I get a correct numbering. How can I "limit" \fullheadnumber to level 1-7, so that I get the needed "1.1" in the second call in the following example? Thanks, H. ---8<--------------------- \definesection[section-8] \definehead[paragraphHead][][alternative=paragraphHead,number=no,section=section-8] \starttext \chapter{bla} \section{bla} I need: 1.1 - I get: \fullheadnumber \paragraphHead{bla} I need: 1.1 - I get: \fullheadnumber \section{bla} I need 1.2 - I get: \fullheadnumber \stoptext

OSFONTDIR in ConTeXt Standalone
by Pablo Rodriguez 17 Oct '13

17 Oct '13

Dear list, ConTeXt Standalone in Windows uses the system font directory out of the box. In Linux, one needs to set OSFONTDIR to "/usr/share/fonts//". Since this is the default directory for fonts in Linux, wouldn’t it be possible to set it by default in ConTeXt Standalone for Linux? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

I am creating smalled sized page samples and want to visually compare them on a single sheet of paper stock. I am using \setuparrange to gather the typeset pages onto a single sheet of paper. Half of the pages are displayed upside down, which is what is supposed to happen, but I'd like to have it so that all pages are right side up to enable visual comparison of all pages in one orientation. The below minimal example shous a base example where two of the four pages come out upside down, as they shoud. %-------------------------------- start \definepapersize[tinypage] [width=91mm, height=55mm] \setuppapersize [tinypage][A4] \setuparranging[1*4] % 1 sheet 4 pages \setuppagenumbering[location=] \showframe \starttext Prologue % page 1 \page Very short story. % page 2 \page Conclusion % page 3 \page Epilogue % page 4 \stoptext %-------------------------------- end Is there any way to set it up so that all pages come out in the same up/down way?

Hello list, How can I call the \followtokens macro (or a similar solution) from within metapost? Specifically, I want to integrate text between the semi-circle arcs in a rainbow-like structure (with the text placed inbetween the arcs, that should alsó be drawn). The text should not be stretched but center on the top, flowing evenly distributed on each side. This link will give you an idea: http://www.heilsuefling.is/heilsuefling/upload/images/whp_in_general/determ… How can this achieved? Regards, Magnus
