\setupalign[flushleft] doesn't like ~

Understanding the imposing-mechanism
by "H. Özoguz" 25 May '13

25 May '13

Hi there, following Wolfgangs suggestion, I set every game-card on a single page now. All cards are in one pdf-File, each on his own page. Every page has the size 47,5mm x 76mm. Now I tried to place the pages on a big sheet, its size is 660mm x 330mm, s.th. the small cards are set in a 4*13 sceme (floor(330/76)=4 and floor(660/47,5) = 13) - but I failed. There is an example in the wiki for imposing existing pdf-pages, but I do not understand it, and if I try to change its values for my example, I get nothing reasonable, nor even understandable. The example of the wiki is here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Imposition And here my failed try: \definepapersize[sheet][width=660mm,height=330mm] \definepapersize[bigsheet][width=\dimexpr\paperwidth+4mm\relax,height=\dimexpr\paperheight+4mm\relax] \setuppaper[sheet][bigsheet] \setuppaper[nx=13, ny=4] \setuplayout[page][location=middle, marking=on] \setuparranging [XY] \setuplayout [backspace=0pt, topspace=0pt, width=middle, height=middle, location=middle, header=0pt, footer=0pt] \setuppagenumbering[] \starttext \insertpages [eslami_karten.pdf][] \stoptext Thanks for help.

Installing Scribuntu, for Lua on the wiki
by Sietse Brouwer 24 May '13

24 May '13

Hi Taco, I'd like to propose thse three extensions for the wiki: * Scribunto [1], which allows writing wikicode extensions in Lua. I ran into a limitation of the template expansion system the other day. Also, this may come in useful for the command reference. [2] [1] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Scribunto [2] http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg68550.html * BacktickCode, which allows writing `...` instead of <code>...</code> — rather pleasant when writing about commands. The code needs a slight modification so as to ignore backticks inside <texcode> and <context> tags, too; see bottom of this e-mail. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:BacktickCode * Semantic Forms (which requirs Semantic Mediawiki), which allows presenting people with a form when creating certain types of pages. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Semantic_Forms How does that sound to you? Thank you very much, Sietse Here's the modification to BacktickCode: function backtickCodeParse( &$parser, &$text, &$stripState ) { // We replace '`...`' by '<code>...</code>' and '\`' by '`'. // Text between <pre> tags is not modified. $text = preg_replace_callback('/<pre>(.*?)<\/pre>/s', function ($match) { return '<pre>' . preg_replace('/`/', '\`', $match[1]) . '</pre>'; }, $text); + $text = preg_replace_callback('/<texcode>(.*?)<\/texcode>/s', function ($match) { + return '<texcode>' . preg_replace('/`/', '\`', $match[1]) . '</texcode>'; + }, $text); + $text = preg_replace_callback('/<context>(.*?)<\/context>/s', function ($match) { + return '<context>' . preg_replace('/`/', '\`', $match[1]) . '</context>'; + }, $text); $text = preg_replace('/([^\\\\]|^)`([^`]*)`/', '$1<code>$2</code>', $text); $text = preg_replace('/\\\\\`/', '`', $text); return true; }

GLIBC 2.7 requirement for Standalone ConTeXt
by Andreas Schneider 23 May '13

23 May '13

Hello, I'm running a build server on an older box with CentOS 5. I didn't update ConTeXt Standalone in quite some time. Now I did since I had some problems with the dated version in use, and now I face the following problem: texlua: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7' not found (required by texlua) texlua: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.11' not found (required by texlua) CentOS 5 still ships GLIBC 2.5. What can I do from here? Any chance on running ConTeXt without upgrading the whole system? -- Best Regards, Andreas

[***SPAM***] Re: Two-language environment and page breaking
by "H. Özoguz" 23 May '13

23 May '13

Just to try another attempt for getting hints from you: You can see in the examples, the the middle vertical line (which is just the right frame of the left cell) is not exactly as high as the text needs. It is a bit higher and stick a little bit out, at the beginning (top) and at the end (bottom) of the natural table. How to fix this, so that the vertical line (right border frame) exactly ends and begins with the textline? That would help to get an exact connection to the next block. Of course the alternative would be to set frame=off for the tables and to place an vertical line as overlay on every single page (as background). But for that I would have to use the length of the text on a page, to adjust the line as long, as needed, not longer, not over the complete page every time. Thanks! Huseyin

Faux font

Tabulate: vertical distance between rows
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 23 May '13

23 May '13

Hello, are there more ways how to affect vertical distance between rows within \start/stop-tabulate? 1) There is one, described on wiki (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Tabulate) ---- \unprotect \appendtoks \blank[halfline] \to \t_tabl_tabulate_every_after_row \protect ... ---- Its problem is that I don't know how to call it by Lua. The following code fails: ---- \startluacode context[[ \unprotect \appendtoks \blank[halfline] \to \t_tabl_tabulate_every_after_row \protect ]] \stopluacode ... ---- So how to make it acceptable by Ctx? 2) Is there another way, e.g. inserting something each time before \NC\NR or elsewhere)? This brings no effect: ---- \starttabulate[|l|r|] \NC a \NC b \blank\NC\blank\NR \NC A \NC B \NC\NR \stoptabulate ---- As I intend to typeset a table (into tabulate) via Lua, adding an extra sequence/command anywhere when a table row is typeset is no problem. Questions are: a) what would be such sequence and b) where it should be placed? My whole testing code is attached. Thank you in advance. Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

[***SPAM***] No letter in math mode with \bold and dejavu font

Hi, With this minimal exemple : %%% MWE \setupbodyfont[dejavu] \starttext 1. \m{E = m c^2} \par 2. \m{\bf E = m c^2} \par 3. {\bf \m{E = m c^2}} \par 4. \bold{\m{E = m c^2}} \par \stoptext %%% The letters disappear in the case 4. I had a look into the font manual and it seems to be related to the bold/mathbold difference but I do not understand these subtilities enough to understand what goes wrong.

Tesselating the sheet with a image
by "H. Özoguz" 22 May '13

22 May '13

Hi there, for a card game I have this macro: \defineoverlay[eslami][{\externalfigure[somepicture.pdf]}] \def\esl[#1][#2][#3]{% \startframed[frame=on,width=4.75cm,offset=overlay,align=middle,background=eslami]% \offinterlineskip \framed[width=4.75cm,frame=off,height=2cm]{\blank[-3mm]#1}\\ \framed[width=4.75cm,frame=off,height=3cm]{#2}\\ \framed[width=4.75cm,frame=off,height=2.4cm]{#3} \stopframed} \starttext \esl[blub][blub][blub] \stoptext which produces cards with some text (see attachment). Now, I only want to write in the editor the commands \esl[blub1][blub1][blub1] \esl[blub2][blub2[blub2] \esl[blub3][blub3][blub3] etc. and these images / overlays should be placed automatically vertically and horizontically over the sheets, like a tesselation (and after that they will be printed and cutted). The order of setting the cards is not important. If one page is full, then they should be placed automatically on the next page - but perfectly the same way, on the same locations, like on all other pages. That is important for cutting, each card should have two sides, so they have to match in location. Is there a way to do this? Thank you. Huseyin PS.: Before this mail I accidentally sent a mail with a slightly different code and a too big attachment, which awaited moderation, so it can be ignored.

But if they are NOT broken over pages, they sould be set as if they were only one table, so as in the first "\startarde\stoparde" block. But the are not. You see the small distance between them. Is there a way to produce the behavior I descibed? It would be a workaround to get natural tables, which can be broken over pages (my manually sperating them). (Only natural tables are possible for this environment, and not normales tables, because of the needed different interlinespace of the two columns). Thanks. Huseyin

\digits get \times instead of \cdot before exponent

split natural table
by Stephens, Kenny 22 May '13

22 May '13

I use a natural table to format my page header. I have another natural table in the body. When the body's table is split onto the second page it interferes with the formatting of the header's table, but only the header-table on the first page. I've included an example. Run as-is, the header has the correct format. Uncomment the last row of the body table to see the incorrect header formatting. This behavior also occurs using live.contextgarden.net (today, 2013-05-21). The incorrect header table format occurs with "split=yes" and "split=repeat" for the body table. If "split=no" then the header table keeps the correct format.
