TABLE and row/column align settings
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 03 Oct '12

03 Oct '12

Hello, I have a complicated TABLE, but I simplified it to the following example: ---- \def\DoTable#1{% \bTABLE \setupTABLE[width=2cm] \setupTABLE[column][#1][align=flushright] % ....................................................... [1] \setupTABLE[row][1][align=middle] % Settings for ALL columns in the row 1 should be overwritten ... [2] \bTABLEhead \bTR \bTH a\eTH \bTH b\eTH \eTR \eTABLEhead \bTABLEbody \bTR \bTD a\eTD \bTD b\eTD \eTR \eTABLEbody \eTABLE } \starttext No column specification: \DoTable{} With column specification: \DoTable{2} \stoptext ---- The problem is that row #1 should be mid-aligned in all columns. So I wrote: ---- \setupTABLE[column][2][align=flushright] % Column #2 has its own alignment... \setupTABLE[row][1][align=middle] % ... but overwrite here for the whole row #1 (including column #2) ---- But column #2 keeps the previously assigned alignment. The situation doesn't change even if I swap [1] and [2] (for the case "the earlier setting, the higher priority"). Moreover, if the column number if not specified (\DoTable{}), the row setting overwrites setting for ALL columns; so only if the column is specified precisely, its setting is kept. So how to overwrite row #1 setting globally? And how setting priorities are evaluated? I guessed the later specification, the higher weight (which would allow overwriting)... Note that in the example it would be possible to specify settings for each row/column, but it not useful way in the case of more/very complicated tables. TIA. Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

Split \starttabulates
by Malte Stien 03 Oct '12

03 Oct '12

Dear all, I have a number of tables defined like this: \placetable[here][tab:some-table]{Some Table} \starttabulate[|w(.30\textwidth)p|w(.70\textwidth)p|] \HL \NC {\bf Animal} \NC {\bf Comment} \NC\FR \HL \NC Cat \NC Pretty cool \NC\MR \NC Bear \NC Kind of lazy \NC\MR \NC Sheep \NC Always hungry \NC\MR \HL \stoptabulate However, I need one of these tables to split over adjacent pages, which according to the documentation should be achievable with \setuptabulate[split=yes] However, that does not seem to work in connection with the \placetable line. That is, if I put that last line in front of the block mentioned above, the table does still not split across adjacent pages. I have to remove the \placetable line for the \setuptabulate line to have any effect, except then I loose my caption and can no longer cross-reference to table either. Any clues? Thank you, Malte.

xits font: some spacing and scaling problems
by Andreas Mang 02 Oct '12

02 Oct '12

Hi there, Not quite sure if this is the right place. I wanted to send this directly to Khaled Hosny, but then I thought it might be good to have some additional opinion on some of these issues (I am not quite sure if some of this is intended behaviour). I have collected some examples for which I think there are some scaling and spacing problems in xits. Also, small caps are not supported. Is this intended?! Thanks for your help. Cheers, Andreas %%%%%%%%%%%% MINIMAL EXAMPLE %%%%%%%%%%%% \setupbodyfont[xits,11pt] \starttext $\diamond$ % too small?! $\square$ % OK?! $\blacktriangleright$ % too big?! $\blacktriangleleft$ % too big?! $\blacktriangle$ % too big?! $\blacktriangledown$ % too big?! {\sc Word} % not supported ?! $\tilde{W}^i$ $W^i$ % using a superscript in case % an accent is used results in % a too small distance between letter % and superscript $f^i$ % distance too small (seems to be just the case for $f$, see e.g. $h^i$ $t^i$) \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%% MINIMAL EXAMPLE %%%%%%%%%%%%

Some align observations
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 02 Oct '12

02 Oct '12

Hello, I'm just curious: I tried to apply align specification to \b/e-TABLE, inframed, \start/stop-alignment and \start/stop-tabulate: ---- \setupbodyfont[11pt] \starttext \bTABLE \setupTABLE[width=4cm,align=middle] \setupTABLE[column][1][align=left] \setupTABLE[column][4][align=right] \bTR \bTD ali=L\eTD \bTD B\eTD \bTD \inframed[width=1.5cm,align=left]{ali=L}\eTD \bTD ali=R\eTD \eTR \eTABLE \startalignment[left] \input tufte \stopalignment \starttabulate[|pl|pc|pr|] \NC ali=L \input tufte\NC\input tufte\NC ali=R \input tufte\NC\NR \stoptabulate \stoptext ---- The text aligned by "align=left" inside TABLE cell, inside \inframed and inside \startalignment is aligned to the right border of the "bounding box" (ragged left). The text aligned by "align=left" inside \start/stop-tabulate is aligned to the left edge of the "bounding box". I must admit than tabulate's behavior seems more natural to me, but this may be just my point of view. Anyway, why the behavior of alignment specification is different for {\b/e-TABLE, \inframed, \start/stop-alignment} and {\start/stop-tabulate}? Wouldn't be nice to unite it?

Wrong results for chemical structures and reactions

counter reseting at every heading
by Peter Schorsch 01 Oct '12

01 Oct '12

Hi, few months ago (18th may) I asked about how to setup a counter that resets after each heading (chapter, section, subsection, subsubsection and so on. I got three possibilities then but none of them was implemented (and still is not): 1) \definecounter[ParagraphNumber][prefix=no,way={bychapter,bysection,bysubsection,bysubsubsection}] 2) \definecounter[ParagraphNumber][prefix=no,way=byheader] 3) \setuphead[chapter,section,subsection,subsubsection][after={\resetcounter[ParagraphNumber]}] as soon the spaces are defined over spaceafter instead of after. Is there a forth option out? Or can anyone tell me what the defaults spaces are so that I can copy them manually? Thanks P.

mkiv: way to signal extra run(s)
by Peter Rolf 29 Sep '12

29 Sep '12

Hi, just wondering. Is there a official way to signal ConTeXt from a module, that an extra run is needed? I started thinking about adding bookkeeping for the created run time graphics. Graphic related changes can then be detected and, if necessary, extra runs can be started to update the changed graphics. I need the second run to create and start the ImageMagick batch script, but the collected info in the *.tuc file prevents ConTeXt from starting a second/third run. Currently I use a batch file that simply deletes the *.tuc file and then calls 'context'. As there is no bookkeeping, all the graphics are recreated then. Peter

metapost dashpattern (on 1) not shown in Mountain Lion Preview
by Xiao-Yong Jin 26 Sep '12

26 Sep '12

Dear all, I just upgrade to Mountain Lion and found out that "dashed dashpattern (on 1)" no longer shows any line in Preview. The attached file is a snapshot of the Preview window showing the pdf file generated by the following code. \starttext \startMPpage draw unitsquare scaled 4cm dashed dashpattern (on 1cm off 1cm) ; draw unitsquare scaled 4cm shifted (5cm,0) dashed dashpattern (on 1cm) ; draw unitsquare scaled 4cm shifted (10cm,0) dashed dashpattern (off 1cm) ; setbounds currentpicture to boundingbox currentpicture enlarged 0.1cm ; \stopMPpage \stoptext You can see, from the attached file, that the unitsquare which was supposed to appear in the middle does not show up in the Preview window. However the same file is displayed correctly in Acrobat Reader. I am not sure whether it is a context problem, or it is just a bug in Mountain Lion. I found out this issue when I saw that all the pdf files I previously generated with gnuplot context term are showing up incorrectly under the Preview after upgrading to Mountain Lion. I had to change the dash pattern in file "metapost/context/third/gnuplot/mp-gnuplot.mp", so the pdf generated by gnuplot context term can be viewed correctly with Preview under Mountain Lion.

Multi-paragraph quotations according to AP
by Bill Meahan 25 Sep '12

25 Sep '12

One of the things I do with ConTeXt is publish a newsletter. The organization I publish for requires me to conform to the Associated Press (AP) Stylebook for all grammar, punctuation and usage. The AP Stylebook requires every paragraph in a quotation to have an "open quotation mark" but only the last paragraph has the "close quotation" mark at the end. \startquotation .. \stopquotation easily takes care of the open on the first paragraph and close at the end of the last. What I can't figure out is how to put an open quotation mark on the intervening paragraphs. I've tried various combinations of \setupstartstop and friends but without success. Is there an easy/straight-forward way to do this? Example (line spaces between "paragraphs" are for illustration purposes only): "This is the first paragraph. It has an open quotation mark but no close. Blah, blah blah .... "This is the second paragraph. It has an open quotation mark, too, but no close. Blah, blah blah .... "This is the third paragraph. It has an open quotation mark as well but no close. Blah, blah blah .... "This is the last paragraph and it needs a closing quotation mark, too." Thanks, everyone. -- Bill Meahan Westland, Michigan USA

Problem with PocketDiary

Proposal: making [[article]] and [[Article]] equivalent on the wiki
by Sietse Brouwer 24 Sep '12

24 Sep '12

Hello, all, The wiki currently has $wgCapitalLinks = false; meaning that if one wishes to link to e.g. [[Columns]] inside a sentence one must write "See the [[Columns|columns]] article." And if one links to another article, one must remember whether its title is lowercase, Titlecase, or if it doesn't matter because a redirect exists. Proposal: I propose we set $wgCapitalLinks = true; $wgCapitalLinkOverrides[ NS_FILE ] = false; This will make writing a link as [[Article]] or [[article]] both correct, but retain case sensitivity in the rest of the article title. In the file namespace, however, case sensitivity will be retained for the entire name, so that people won't have to download e.g. "T-lilypond.tex". Motivation below. Comments, agreement, disagreement welcome. Cheers, Sietse Motivation: Redirects can (and do) solve this, and so can changing the link, but that is busywork that nobody should have to do. Setting $wgCapitalLinks = true is a robust solution. Article titles will remain case-sensitive, except for the first letter, meaning * no more trying to remember whether an article is located at [[lowercase]] or at [[Titlecase]] * no more creating redirects from [[lowercase]] to [[Titlecase]] or vice versa * you can always use the simplest wikilink, because [[Columns]] and [[columns]] both work correctly. * article titles will consistently be displayed in Titlecase * for titles that should start in lowercase, such as [[texexec]] or [[first-setup]], we'll need to add e.g. {{DISPLAYTITLE:texexec}}. For the file namespace, it is preferable that case-sensitivity remains on, especially for .tex and .zip files such as http://wiki.contextgarden.net/File:T-lilypond.tex http://wiki.contextgarden.net/index.php?title=Special%3APrefixIndex&prefix=… (The large amount of Titlecased filenames in that list is because in the early days of this wiki, $wgCapitalLinks was also true everywhere.)

Hello how to center a table over several pages? Suppose the following code: ---- \def\TAB{% \bTABLE[split=repeat] \bTABLEhead \bTR \bTH head1 \eTH \eTR \eTABLEhead % \bTABLEbody \dorecurse{40}{% \bTR \bTD body \eTD \eTR } \eTABLEbody \eTABLE } \starttext Table 1: \midaligned{\TAB} \page Table 2: \startalignment[middle] %\dontleavehmode% \TAB \stopalignment \stoptext ---- Table 1 is centered in the page, however both parts of the table are placed next to each other (unwanted). If I use \startalignment instead \midaligned (table 2), the table is not centered on the page (also unwanted), even if I uncomment the \dontleavehmode. So - how to center a long table on every page it is printed on? TIA. Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.

tolerance and whitespace settings inside a TEXpage
by Marco Patzer 20 Sep '12

20 Sep '12

Hi, inside a TEXpage the tolerance and the whitespace settings are not applied. The whitespace can be set in a setup and the tolerance can be set directly with \spaceskip, but that seems a bit hackish. Is that intended and is there a cleaner solution? Example: \setuplayout [width=8cm] \setupbodyfont [mono] \startsetups [myset] \setupwhitespace [big] \setuptolerance [space] \stopsetups \setups{myset} \starttext \startTEXpage [setups=myset] %% \spaceskip .5em plus .25em minus .25em \input knuth \stopTEXpage \input knuth \stoptext Marco

contents empty?
by Matthew Claus 19 Sep '12

19 Sep '12

Hi everyone, Using the 2012.09.16 minimals, \starttext \completecontent \chapter{Chapter One} \completecontent \stoptext renders the first table of contents as expected but the second is empty. Should this work? I'm trying to place the contents as the final element of the frontmatter in a more complex document. Thank you - Matt

Spacing around integrals
by Aditya Mahajan 19 Sep '12

19 Sep '12

Hi, The spacing around the integrals is wrong in the current version when using latin modern or xits (but correct when using cambria or euler). Is this due to wrong parameters in the font, or something wrong at the ConTeXt end? Minimal example: \setupbodyfont[xits] \setupmathematics[integral=nolimits] \starttext \startformula \int_{-∞}^{∞} f(t)dt \stopformula \stoptext Aditya

List of macro-generating macro (was: Ctx: list of commands)
by Sietse Brouwer 19 Sep '12

19 Sep '12

Hi Hans, > quite some commands are generated so we would still miss a lot For any now-or-future documentation project, it will be useful to have a list of macros that generate (user-facing) macros. * We could use it to modify these macros so that they report to a table the macros they create. * We could use it to simply find the places these factory macros are used, when constructing our list of commands * We could use it when looking for the source of an indirectly-defined command --- useful when writing options documentation. So, for starters: below is a tab-separated list of various \install*handler commands (and their frequency in the *.mk* sources). I hope gmail doesn't mangle the formatting too badly. Could you note, for each one, * whether it is a top-level macro or simply a helper routine * If it is a top-level macro, whether it creates user-facing commands always, sometimes, or never? (Working definition of top-level macros vs helper routines: macros that you yourself call directly when writing functionality, versus routines that you once split off to structure the code, and that only gets called by some other macro.)

Ctx: list of commands
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 18 Sep '12

18 Sep '12

Hello, 1) is there a Ctx command/switch which would generate list of all current ConTeXt commands? E.g. " context --list-of-commands > Cmds.txt " to produce ---- Cmds.txt \startCAP \stopCAP \startCap \stopCap ... \writetoregister ---- 2) The directory "c:\Ctx-Beta\tex\texmf-context\context\data\textpad" is empty (by default?). Its content: - is filled when context.exe is launched with a command/switch (if so, which command?), or - is filled when a newer version of ConTeXt is downloaded (if so, which "extras" - like "first-setup.bat --extras=all --modules=all" - should be specified to fill the directory)? TIA. Best regards, Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.

Bibliography, unicode strings, @ELECTRONIC, sorting and bibtex
by Marco Patzer 18 Sep '12

18 Sep '12

Hi, I have some questions regarding the bibliography. 1) The style files bibl-ams.tex, bibl-ssa.tex, etc contain strings like ``, ~. This does not make sense to me. The `` ends up like that in the output and the tilde might interfere with the \asciimode setting. Wouldn't it be better to use the proper Unicode glyphs (U+201C, U+00A0, etc.) nowadays? I assume the files are old MkII files and not being updated since. Example: \setupbibtex [database=sample] \setuppublications [alternative=ssa] \starttext \cite[hh2010a] \cite[Eijkhout1991] \cite[hh2010] \placepublications [criterium=cite] \stoptext 2) The @ELECTRONIC type does not work (already mentioned in the wiki). It does not show up in the references list. I guess no one bothered adding them and it's up to me to add the corresponding entries. Maybe someone has already prepared a working file for the APA style? 3) How to sort the bibliography by author? According to the bib manual I expected this to work: \setupbibtex [database=sample] \setuppublications [alternative=apa, criterium=cite, sort=author] \starttext \cite[hh2010a] \cite[Eijkhout1991] \placepublications \stoptext 4) \completepublications produces an empty page. Is that intended? \setupbibtex [database=sample] \setuppublications [alternative=ssa, criterium=cite] \starttext \cite[hh2010a] \completepublications \stoptext 5) (side question) What is BibTeX used for in ConTeXt? As far as I can see, it reads the .bib database and generates a .bbl file which then is read in by ConTeXt. Why do we need an external tool for this? Why does ConTeXt not read in the .bib database and directly save it as a Lua table? Marco

[.tuc] oddity when storing a table

Exploring the Lua innards of ConTeXt: showtable
by Sietse Brouwer 17 Sep '12

17 Sep '12

Hi all, ConTeXt mkiv stores all sorts of things in Lua tables, but 'what goes where' does not tend to be documented. So here is a function to print out a table's contents to get something like the following excerpt. The excerpt is from the output of `userdata.showtable(structures.lists)` in a document with three \placefigures and one \placeformula. Note the reference in T.cached.1.references.reference, and the caption in T.cached.1.titledata.title (T stands for the table yone passed to showtables); and note how the tables of figures 2 and 3 are not printed, because they follow the same pattern as table 1. (You can tell showtable to print everything, natch.) T.addto : function: 0xa4c8818 T.analyze : function: 0xb1c27b0 T.cached : table: 0xb1c2240 T.cached.1 : table: 0xc3f7b18 T.cached.1.metadata : table: 0xc3f7d58 T.cached.1.metadata.kind : float T.cached.1.metadata.name : figure T.cached.1.prefixdata : table: 0xc3f7c68 T.cached.1.prefixdata.connector : . T.cached.1.prefixdata.prefix : no T.cached.1.references : table: 0xc3f7ba8 T.cached.1.references.reference : ref:asdf T.cached.1.titledata : table: 0xc3f7b40 T.cached.1.titledata.title : caption 1 T.cached.2 : table: 0xc467bb8 (like T.cached.1) T.cached.3 : table: 0xc4731a8 (like T.cached.1) T.cached.4 : table: 0xc47c988 T.cached.4.metadata : table: 0xc47d628 T.cached.4.metadata.kind : formula T.cached.4.metadata.name : formula (You can't see it in this e-mail, but the colons of entries in the same subtable nicely line up with each other.) Usage: put showtable.lua in your working directory and run the following code: \starttext % \placefigure[][ref:asdf]{caption 1}{picture 1} \startluacode require('showtable') userdata.showtable(structures.lists) \stopluacode \stoptext Extra options can be passed as part of an options table. (This allows overriding one option without respecifying the others.) userdata.showtable( structures.lists, { everything=true, -- descend even into similar-looking siblings tablename='S.L' } ) Output is printed to the terminal, alas, because I couldn't discover how to print to the log. Anybody know anything about this? Hopefully this may be useful to someone, next time they they're hunting for something in the bowels of ConTeXt. Interesting tables to look at: * userdata.showtable(commands) contains a great miscellanea of helper commands * userdata.showtable(context) also contains a great miscellanea of commands * userdata.showtable(tex) seems to show lua access functions to some plain tex stuff * userdata.showtable(lxml) gives a list of lxml-related functions Cheers, Sietse

Bug in xits font? No widehat shows up
by Otared Kavian 17 Sep '12

17 Sep '12

Dear Khaled, dear Hans, I noticed that when using xits fonts the command \widehat is ignored (though \hat gives the expected result). Minimal example %%% begin example \setupbodyfont[xits,11pt] \starttext By definition we set ${\widehat \phi}(\xi) := {\cal F}(\phi)(\xi)$ that is \startformula {\hat \phi}(\xi) = \widehat{\phi}(\xi) = {\widehat \phi}(\xi) := {\cal F}(\phi)(\xi) := (2\pi)^{-N/2}\int_{{\Bbb R}^N}{\rm e}^{-{\rm i}\xi\cdot x}\phi(x) dx. \stopformula \stoptext %%% end example This bug report concerns mkiv version ConTeXt ver: 2012.09.16 23:18 MKIV fmt: 2012.9.17. However in older versions the same problem exists. I don't know whether this is a bug in mkiv or in xits fonts. Best regards: OK
