Problems with arabic font "Amiri"
by "H. Özoguz" 08 May '13

08 May '13

Hello, I tried to type with the arabic font "Amiri" by K. Hosny. You can download it here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/amiri/ In this download-page you find a nice example of the font, setting the sura "Al-Fatiha" (first section of the Holy Qur'an). I tried to regain this example with ConTeXt, but failed. Here is my try: \definefont[amiri][file:amiri-regular.ttf*arabic at 17pt] \define[1]\Arab{\amiri#1} \starttext \Arab{بِسْمِ اللَّـهِ الرَّ‌حْمَـٰنِ الرَّ‌حِيمِ} \stoptext But that doesn't compile here.

extra line after switchtobodyfont

Update value of \headerheight based on header content
by Adam Khan 08 May '13

08 May '13

The code for my headers is of the form: \setupheadertexts[{\inframed[frame=off,width=\textwidth,location=depth,align={right,broad,nothyphenated},tolerance=verytolerant]{Author\\Title\\\tab{\getmarking[chapternumber]} \getmarking[chapter] \wordright{\pagenumber}}}] As you might imagine, the name of every chapter is not the same length. I would like to update the value of \headerheight for each component (each component of my project contains exactly one chapter.) based on the header contents that are produced for it. In LaTeX, for example, I do something similar with the following code: \settototalheight{\headheight}{\parbox{\textwidth}{Author\\Title\\\nameref{chaptername}} Any ideas? Sincerely yours, Adam Khan

makeing xml-node

With \xmlload{myroot}{file} I can load an xml file and the execute on its nodes. However what to do if the file is not of the form <root>file-contents</root>? In that case it would help if I could contruct a node with with some actions like: <root>\input{fileconytents</root> and then operate with xml commands on that <root> node. Can this be accomplished?

inclusion of tex code in xml context
by Meer, H. van der 07 May '13

07 May '13

I have some difficulties understanding the intake of ConTeXt-code in an XML processing environment. The setup is as follows. \startbuffer[buffername] \startuseMPgraphic{graphicname}{} .. \stopuseMPgraphic \stopbuffer Processing inside xmlsetup: \startxmlsetups xmlcommon:mpgraphic Here I want to read the buffer and then call it up with \useMPgraphic{graphicname}{} \stopxmlsetups This works if I pack the graphic definition in the buffer inside a <tex></tex> node and call \xmlprocessbuffer{tex}{\xmlatt{#1}{buffer}}{} where <tex> is a ConTeXt processing setup. This actuallty works, but has the drawback of putting the ConTeXt code inside <tex></tex> thereby makeing it difficult to reuse the definition of the graphic in a non XML-context. I thus want to get rid of the <tex></tex> enclosure. I tried things like \xmlloadbuffer{tex}{\xmlatt{#1}{buffer}} \xmlsetup{tex}{xmlcommon:tex} <== the tex processing xmlsetups But this does not work. Because the graphic in this case is not found by \useMPgraphic. Clearly I am misunderstanding some of the intricacies of the xmlloading macros and probably the solution is quite simple. But I cannot find the right way to do it. Any help would be appreciated. Hans van der Meer

parameters to \startxmlsetups
by Meer, H. van der 07 May '13

07 May '13

\startxmlsetups takes one (implicit) parameter #1, the current node. The setup can be called with \setup{node}{command}. My question: Can there be another parameter transferred to the \startxmlsetups from the \setup call? What I would like to do is having a variant \startxmlsetups and corresponding \setup with three parameters {#1}{#2}{#3}. Then argument #3 will allow me to transfer extraneous information to the \startxmlsetups. So one can avoid transferring information through (global) defines, which makes code less general and not very transparant. Hans van der Meer

In the xml setup one may call a command on the current node like: \startxmlsetups xam:define:get \xmlcommand{#1}{}{xmlcommon:whatever} \stopxmlsetups The current node will have attributes and these can be used in the execution of the command xmlcommon:whatever.
