[luatex-plain] loading patterns
by Philipp Gesang 15 Nov '12

15 Nov '12

Hi all! (I assume this is the appropriate list for questions regarding luatex-plain.) I am trying to enable the Russian hyphenation patterns. The demo code below works with luatex.fmt but not luatex-plain.fmt (both from tex live). More precisely, after loading the hyphenation patterns for, say, *Latin* I get proper hyphenation. Now when I attempt the same with *Russian*, nothing is hyphenated. (As lang.patterns(id) correctly returns the patterns in both cases, I guess something is missing after updating tex.language.) Any thoughts? Can someone reproduce this? Philipp ================================================================= \def\loadpatterns#1{% \directlua{ local pattern_source = kpse.find_file"#1" texio.write_nl("* loading patterns from file " .. pattern_source) local fh = io.open(kpse.find_file"#1") local new_patterns = fh:read"*a" fh:close() local new_language = lang.new() lang.patterns(new_language, new_patterns) tex.language = lang.id(new_language) %print(lang.patterns(new_language)) }% } % ····························································· % \showhyphens{Циолковский} %% no pattern yet, so both without \showhyphens{Oenothea} %% hyphenation % ····························································· % \loadpatterns{hyph-ru.pat.txt} %% Russian \showhyphens{Циолковский} %% wrong with luatex-plain % ····························································· % \loadpatterns{hyph-la.pat.txt} %% Latin \showhyphens{Oenothea} %% correct with either % ····························································· % \bye

Tolerance and Stretch versus Protrusion and Ugliness
by "H. Özoguz" 15 Nov '12

15 Nov '12

Hi there, at the moment I use for my book \definepapersize[MyBook][A5] \setuppapersize[MyBook][A5] \usemodule [simplefonts][size=11pt] \setmainfont[Times New Roman][expansion=quality,protrusion=quality] \setupalign [hanging] \setuptolerance[stretch] \tolerance 70 Is it suitable to use tolerance and stretch in this way together? Of course I want a nice type area - but for me that means that I definitely don't want a word written in the margin! (That happens with the default \tolerance 250 (without using stretch). What would you recommend? Are there other values to play with, to get a better result? Thanks Huseyin

[NTG-Context] MetaPost capacity exceeded.
by Alan BRASLAU 15 Nov '12

15 Nov '12

! MetaPost capacity exceeded, sorry [expansion depth=10000]. I have come across this error previously with run-away \dorecurse loops I now have this message with a document that makes VERY heavy use of MetaPost; I just have too many figures. Is there some way to "flush" the running instance of MetaPost, that is to force MPlib to respawn or something like that? (Of course, I would then have to be careful not to rely on the reuse of any previous MP instances...) Alan

random seed
by Peter Rolf 14 Nov '12

14 Nov '12

Hi, in one of my documents I use a specific random seed to create a fixed random based graphic (size, color, position). This works fine under Windows (where I 'found' the seed value), but I get a complete different result on my Debian system. Is there a way to get identical results on different OS? Or is the random number generator OS specific? Just wondering... Peter

Mk IV version of wasysym?
by Pavneet Arora 14 Nov '12

14 Nov '12

I am trying to use some of the symbols from Roland Waldi's symbols collection in a project. After not getting the minimal example to work, I looked for the 'symb-was.*' file, and came across only this; /opt/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/symb-was.mkii I notice that there doesn't seem to be a .mkiv version of this set. Could this be the problem? The minimal example was simply: \usesymbols[was] \showsymbolset[wasy general] Thanks. -- ----- - Pavneet Arora Waroc Fine Audio + Custom Home Cinema www.waroc.com 416.937.WAROC (9276)

XML and Lua/Ctx
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 14 Nov '12

14 Nov '12

Hello, I've read that when Ctx is to process a XML file, the whole XML tree is loaded first and processed as wanted. I'd need to process a XML file which represents an Excel workbook saved as .xml. When working in pure Lua, I'm using Expat library (http://matthewwild.co.uk/projects/luaexpat/index.html) which allow to create a parser with callbacks (e.g. StartElement(), StopElement(), CharacterData()...). It processes the .xml file on-the-go. However, this solution cannot be used with Ctx as it causes Ctx to crash. How to access a XML file loaded and parsed from within Ctx via Lua? I attach a simple Excel XML (for those who are familiar with Excel and don't refuse using it). As an example, I'd need process the attached .xml into a simple Lua table: ---- -- return -- Lua table as a result { workbooks = { [1] = { name = "1", -- No more info is necessary so far, -- I just need to see the way how to access XML elements }, [2] = { name = "Imp", }, [3] = { name = "Exp", }, [4] = { name = "<Template>", }, } } ---- Could anyone experienced kindly present a way how to get such table from the attached Excel XML file? TIA. Best regards, Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.

after attribute for nested enumeration
by Nicholas Ulle 14 Nov '12

14 Nov '12

Hi all, Is it possible to set the after attribute for a nested enumeration? I've tried setting it directly with no luck, but maybe I'm missing some other flag or attribute I need to set? An example follows. Before text \startitemize[after={\blank[3*big]}] \item Here is an item \startitemize[after={\blank[3*big]}] \item Sub item \item Sub item 2 \stopitemize This text is too close to the nested enumeration. \stopitemize This text is the correct distance from outer enumeration. Thanks, Nick

Resetting numbers in section header
by Otared Kavian 13 Nov '12

13 Nov '12

Hi all, Assume for some reason I want a section to be numbered in a particular way: I thought the command resetnumber=yes would do that, but it seems that I am wrong… or this option is now obsolete. Can anyone have a look at the following example and give a hint? \starttext \section{Section 1} \input ward \startsection[title={Section 1 again},resetnumber=yes] % Here I want again the number 1 \input ward \stopsection \setuphead[section][number=yes] \section{Section 3} \input ward \startsection[title={Section with no number},number=no] % Here I don't want numbers \input ward \stopsection \stoptext Thanks in advance: OK

images and text stacked in the margin
by Andy Thomas 12 Nov '12

12 Nov '12

Dear list, I am still struggling to achieve the page layout/look that I am trying to get. For an image of the desired page spread please look here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9089117/tufte-spread.png The design is using the ample margin to place text (sidenotes), figures (images) and tables in the margin. I am unable to get both (images and text) to work properly. (1) put all in a \margintext \margintext{...} for text \margintext{\placefigure...} for external images This option does not work if the position is close to a page break (cp. http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20121111.191529.3fbef120.en.html) (2) use two different macros \margintext{...} for text and \placefigure[location=margin]{}{...} for external images This option does not work because they are placed on top of each other. I also tried \startplacefigure, but also no luck. (3) put all in a \placefigure \placefigure[margin,none]{}{Text Text} for text \placefigure[margin,none]{}{...} for external images This works best, because it starts from the top and nicely stacks the marginals. But it introduces a paragraph break where the sidenote is called. This does not work, it defeats the purpose (imagine a paragraph after every footnote). (4) use (3) and postponing \startpostponing [+1]% \startplacefigure[location={margin,none}]% Text text\stopplacefigure% \stoppostponing% Now, the paragraph break is gone, but the sidenote is on the next page, which does not make sense in our case (cp. http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/56388/avoid-line-break-after-macro) In general, I do not understand, where the paragraph break at the \placefigure... comes from. It does not seam necessary in most cases (e.g. location=top) and postponing does avoid it. Can I 'gobble' it somehow? Does anyone have an idea, how to make it work for images as well as text combined? Andy

Beginner question. Chapter heading in words
by Andrew Dowell 12 Nov '12

12 Nov '12

Hi I've some experience with Latex (written a thesis in it) but have just started to try ConteXt as my son wants me to typeset a story he's written as an A5 book, and ConteXt seems to do that more easily than Latex. However, he wants the chapter headings to be on the form: Chapter One This is the Name of the First Chapter ie. with the chapter number in words, centred on the page, and then the title of the chapter centred below it. (By default it seems to do it as a numeral and then the title on the the same line) He'd also like the title of the book as the header for even pages and the title of the chapter as a header for odd side pages. I've looked through the manual but can't find obvious instructions as to how to do this. Thanks for any suggestions. Andrew
