\feature
by Hans Hagen 17 Mar '13

17 Mar '13

Hi, After some experimenting, I settled on the next interface for dynamic features: The is also a generic command \type {\feature} that takes two arguments. Below we show all calls, with long and short variants: \starttyping \addfeature [f:mine] \feature [more][f:mine] \feature[+][f:mine] \subtractfeature [f:mine] \feature [less][f:mine] \feature[-][f:mine] \replacefeature [f:mine] \feature [new][f:mine] \feature[=][f:mine] \resetandaddfeature[f:mine] \feature[local][f:mine] \feature[!][f:mine] \revivefeature [f:mine] \feature [old][f:mine] \feature[>][f:mine] \resetfeature \feature[reset] \feature[<] \stoptyping Each variant also accepts \type {{}} instead of \type {[]} so that they can conveniently be used in square bracket arguments. This mechanism replaces \addff cum suis, although for a while they will stay around (mapped onto add and subtract). Idris is testing it (as he used this kind of trickery extensively for complex arabic) and he make a nice wiki page. We can think of a predefined set of simple features.

noalign hassles
by H. van der Meer 17 Mar '13

17 Mar '13

I am stuck with the following problem. Inside an \halign (table) I can insert a colored rule with: \noalign{\color[red]{\hrule height#1 depth\zeropoint}} Now I want something more involved like: \color[red]{\hrule height#1 width2mm}% fixed length colored block \color[black]{\hrule height#1}% filling the width left \color[red]{\hrule height#1 width2mm}% fixed length colored block producing [red][black black black …][red] However, this doesn't work. I tried various options as: enclosing in \vbox, \hbox, box with leaders. Nothing worked out. Is there some guru who knows how to accomplish this? Hans van der Meer

switching language introduces spurious space

Hi Hans, there is a small typo in l. 390 of lang-ini.mkiv which introduces a spurious space when you switch language: --- lang-ini.mkiv 2013-03-16 18:06:05.547177226 +0100 +++ lang-ini.mkiv.new 2013-03-16 18:07:04.443844765 +0100 @@ -387,7 +387,7 @@ \let\dohyphens\relax \unexpanded\def\lang_basics_synchronize_min_max - { % these values are stored along with glyph nodes + {% these values are stored along with glyph nodes \lefthyphenmin \numexpr0\languageparameter\s!lefthyphenmin +\hyphenminoffset\relax \righthyphenmin\numexpr0\languageparameter\s!righthyphenmin+\hyphenminoffset\relax % these values are stored with the language (global!)

new trickery
by Hans Hagen 15 Mar '13

15 Mar '13

Hi, There is a new experimental feature and (at least for now) it's also called \feature (maybe not the best name). Many fonts have language dependent features. There are also features that one only wants to enable in small text snippets. For this we have \addff etc but these don't accumulate. The next example demonstrates an accumulator. \setupbodyfont[pagella] \starttext % When the (again experimental) setup for 'font' is used, the % features will also adapt themselves to the language. I'm % still considering on how to deal with the main language. % \definefontfeature[nl][language=nld,script=latn] \setuplanguages[font=auto] % \setuplanguage [default][font=auto] % \setuplanguage [nl][font=auto] % We need to make a nice set of 'simple' switchers. \definefontfeature[f:smallcaps][smcp=yes] \definefontfeature[f:nocaps] [smcp=no] \definefontfeature[f:oldstyle] [onum=yes] \definefontfeature[f:newstyle] [onum=no] % watch how features accumulate \startTEXpage[offset=10pt] fijn fietsen 123 \feature{f:oldstyle} fijn fietsen 123 \feature{f:smallcaps} fijn fietsen 123 \feature{f:oldstyle} fijn fietsen 123 \start \nl % \feature{nl} fijn fietsen 123 \de fijn fietsen 123 \stop fijn fietsen 123 \feature{f:newstyle} fijn fietsen 123 \feature{f:nocaps} fijn fietsen 123 \stopTEXpage % watch how lm has contextual lookups for ligatures % that depend on the language \startTEXpage[offset=10pt] \definedfont[lmroman10-regular*default] fijn fietsen \nl fijn fietsen \de fijn fietsen \stopTEXpage \stoptext This mechanism is (just as \addff cum suis) somewhat slower but as long as it's used grouped, performance is quite ok.

Re: [NTG-context] TOC: Chapters with and without page-numbers
by "H. Özoguz" 15 Mar '13

15 Mar '13

Maybe I have not made it clear, what I mean? My Minexample is: \setuplist[chapter][pagenumber=no] \starttext \completecontent \chapter{Chapter 1} \section{Section 1} \chapter{Chapter 2} \stoptext Now Chapter 1 is without pagenumber in the TOC, correct, because it has a section after the chapter-title! But Chapter 2 has no sections, so it need a page number, how to do that? Regards, Huseyin

reStructuredText module
by Bill Meahan 14 Mar '13

14 Mar '13

Am I correct in thinking the rst module does not process the "class" and "container" directives? I looked through the Lua source and didn't see anyplace where these directives are processed although I will be the first to admit I don't know much about Lua. I retired from software development before Lua became popular and never bothered to learn it. Assembler, FORTRAN, C, SQL, PL/SQL, Perl.... I know or knew, Lua I do not. :) I use these directives heavily and pandoc ignores them so I'm beginning to think I have a problem generating EPUB + ConTeXt + HTML(5) versions of the same document from common rst source. Thanks! All information and suggestions welcome. -- Bill Meahan Westland, Michigan USA

Hi, I uploaded a beta. Quite some files were touched as I went over all messages at the Lua end (simplified using the formatter, more consistent, etc). It might be that I made mistakes which then will show up when tracing options are enabled or error messages are issued.

garden example at fault
by H. van der Meer 13 Mar '13

13 Mar '13

I tried this sample from the garden to look at the top and bottom, see Command/setuplayout. Below a copy of the garden page (pagesize changed from A10 to A6): \setuppapersize[A6] %% This is an example for showing the effect of the vertical parameters %% top, topdistance, bottom, bottomdistance and topspace. %% Just play around with these parameters. \showframe %% Show the top and the bottom with blue color: \setupbackgrounds[header, footer][background=color, backgroundcolor=blue] \def\MyLength{10pt} \setuplayout[ top=\MyLength, topdistance=\MyLength, bottom=\MyLength, bottomdistance=\MyLength, topspace=\dimexpr(\topheight + \topdistance), height=fit] \starttext \input thuan \stoptext This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.75.0-2013030308 (rev 4589) ConTeXt ver: 2013.03.04 18:28 MKIV fmt: 2013.3.4 int: english/english The top and bottom should have been blue as in the screenshot from the garden (figure to the left). The reality however is no blue sections at all (figure at right). What is wrong: the (fairly recent) context or the example in the garden? Hans van der Meer

setups within typescripts: can it be done?
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي حامد 13 Mar '13

13 Mar '13

Dear gang, Here is the situation: For an upcoming book project I may use a set of proprietary fonts whose license that does not allow modification even for personal, private use. Some characters I need are absent, but the components I need are there (macrons, dots, etc). So I can conceivably use \defineactivecharacter to map each needed unicode char to a \def made of glyph components in the font. Now in a typescript we have different fonts: Each individual font needs its own setup in terms of \defineactivecharacter. So the final typeface will be able to associate each individual font with its associated setup. So here's my idea: ============== \startsetups font1 \defineactivecharacter b blah1 \stopsetups \startsetups font2 \defineactivecharacter b blah2 \stopsetups \starttypescript [serif] [name] \definefontsynonym [MyFont1][name:SuperFontRgular][features=myfeatures,fallbacks=myfallback,setups=font1] \definefontsynonym [MyFont2][name:SuperFontItalic][features=myfeatures,fallbacks=myfallback,setups=font2] \stoptypescript =============== Is this doable? If not is there another way? If doable, is there a better way? If this is totally undoable, then here is another approach: Is there a way in mkiv to make a definition that can translate the following: ========== If font1 is active use def1 If font2 is active use def2 : Else \relax ========== If not, are there any other ideas? Thanks in advance for any hints and guidance. Best wishes Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

TOC: Chapters with and without page-numbers
by "H. Özoguz" 12 Mar '13

12 Mar '13

Hello there, normally I use \setuplist[chapter][pagenumber=no] to prevent pages for chapters in the TOC, because normally (!) after every chapter-titel comes a section-title, directly, without text between the two titles. And so it is in this case enough to give the page-number for the section-titles only. But now I have an book with one single chapter, which do not have sections. So with \setuplist[chapter][pagenumber=no] it has no page-number in the TOC. I want to have the page-number for this single chapter-title only, but for the other chapter-titles (which have section-titles after them) I want still the above setting. How to do that? Thank you! Huseyin PS.: Sorry for sending this question with the wrong email-adress one minute before, it awaits moderation, but can be deleted, of course.

Reusing MP graphics

Hi, I'm trying to use "width=local" in an enumartion, but the width is the same for hsize, broad and local. Example from the wiki (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Framed#Width_broad_and_local) \setuppapersize[A5] \setuppapersize[A7,landscape][A7,landscape] \setupbodyfont[8pt,ss] \setupcolors[state=start] \setupframed[framecolor=blue] \showframe \starttext \framed[width=\hsize,align=middle]{width=hsize} \startitemize \setlocalhsize \item \framed[width=\hsize,align=middle] {width=hsize} \item \framed[width=broad,align=middle] {width=broad} \item \framed[width=local,align=middle] {width=local} \stopitemize \stoptext Compare the above example with the picture from the wiki. Did something changed around "local"? Adam

Separation of delimited text symbol
by Marco Patzer 12 Mar '13

12 Mar '13

Hi, this issue was raised on stackexchange¹. When setting up a delimited text, a line break is allowed between the character and the following text, which is always undesired (maybe I lack imagination where this might be intended). Example: \setuplayout [width=10cm] \definedelimitedtext [quotation] %% [left={\symbol[leftquotation]}] %% works [left=“] %% separates symbol from the text \starttext När jag som liten uppgett att teckningen föreställer \quotation{Tomtarnas eld i skogen} kanske det inte alls var menat som en optisk liknelse av denna händelse. \stoptext Setting the delimiter as part of the language setting does not cause the symbol to be separated. If there's no use-case for this behaviour, can it be fixed? Marco ¹ http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/101130/5245

new beta
by Hans Hagen 11 Mar '13

11 Mar '13

Hi, I uploaded a beta. The most important change is that the 'context' function now uses the formatters mechanism instead of Lua's format. This has several benefits. First of all it's in most cases faster (I measured upto 3 times) but it also permits us to support some more: integer %...i number integer %...d number unsigned %...u number utf character %...c number hexadecimal %...x number HEXADECIMAL %...X number octal %...o number string %...s string number float %...f number exponential %...e number exponential %...E number autofloat %...g number autofloat %...G number force tostring %...S any force tostring %Q any force tonumber %N number (strip leading zeros) signed number %I number rounded number %r number 0xhexadecimal %...h character number 0xHEXADECIMAL %...H character number U+hexadecimal %...u character number U+HEXADECIMAL %...U character number points %p number (scaled points) basepoints %b number (scaled points) table concat %...t table boolean (logic) %l boolean BOOLEAN %L boolean whitespace %...w More info can be found in cld-mkiv.pdf. There I also explain how to create specific formatters and how to extend them. In the default formatter there are two extensions that can be used as: string.formatters["whatever %!tex! and %!xml!"]("$ 100","a&b") or local mf = string.formatters["whatever %!tex! and %!xml!"] ... mf("$ 100","a&b") or context("whatever %!tex! and %!xml!","$ 100","a&b") (Someone should add that to the wiki I guess).

[***SPAM***] File access for sourc, graphic, and pictures
by hwitloc＠gmail.com 11 Mar '13

11 Mar '13

I am just learning ConTeXt, so please bare with me. In all of the documentation that I've read so far, it shows the names of imported photographs, graphs, blocks, etc as a simple filename without any filename extensions or pathnames. Having a bunch of photographs anc charts files in the same directory as te tex files reallys clutters things up. I'd like to store photographs, etc., to use used in a subdirectory of the project. Also might be nice to have subdirectories for the sourc e of each part of a book. How do experienced people handle organizing files for large-ish scale projects such as a book? It would be educational to learn how this is handled. Thanks
