Behaviour of definereferenceformat changed?
by Julian Becker 21 May '11

21 May '11

Can it be that in the beta version 2011.05.01, the behaviour of \definereferenceformat changed? I used to define: \definereferenceformat [ineqn] [left=(,right=),text=equation] and get e.g. "equation (1)", but now all it produces "(equation 1)". Is it supposed to behave that way? Do I have to use something like \definereferenceformat [ineqn] [right={)},text={equation (}] to get what I want, or is there something better? Example: \definereferenceformat [ineqn] [left=(,right=),text=equation] \starttext Here in \ineqn[eq1]. \placeformula[eq1] \startformula a^2+b^2=c^2 \stopformula \stoptext Julian. -- "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for it is the wellspring of life."

Font selection problem in MKIV
by Otso Helenius 21 May '11

21 May '11

Hello, I'm using ConTeXt minimals MKIV (latest snapshot) on Linux with loads of system ttf & otf fonts. Recently I stumbled upon a peculiar problem. The example below outputs three lines in three different fonts, the Computer/Latin(?) Modern, League Script and Pompadour, as expected. However, if I comment out \setupbodyfont line or set anything else as the body font than LeagueScript or Pompadour, all text in the document will be output solely with the default Modern font. Am I missing something here? Is there something wrong with the way I select and use multiple fonts in the same document? \setuppapersize[A4][A4] \starttypescript[Sans][LeagueScript] \definefontsynonym[Sans][name:leaguescriptthin] \stoptypescript \starttypescript[Sans][Pompadour] \definefontsynonym[Sans][name:Pompadour] \stoptypescript \definetypeface[LeagueScript][ss][Sans][LeagueScript] \definetypeface[Pompadour][ss][Sans][Pompadour] \setupbodyfont[LeagueScript,12pt] \starttext 01234567890 \switchtotypeface[LeagueScript][12pt] 01234567890 \switchtotypeface[Pompadour][12pt] 01234567890 \stoptext Best regards, Otso Helenius

endnotes/critical apparatus
by Daniel Schopper 21 May '11

21 May '11

Dear list, I’m fiddling around with a simple apparatus for critical editions with endnotes. For now this is working ok - but I’m wondering if somebody could advise me on some aspects of it (see below). Here’s a minimal example: \newwrite\enotes \newread\readenotes \immediate\openout\enotes = \jobname.en \immediate\write\enotes{ % \noexpand\let\noexpand\stretchednormalcase=\noexpand\relax \noexpand\let\noexpand\tfc=\noexpand\relax \noexpand\let\noexpand\bf=\noexpand\relax % \noexpand\let\par=\noexpand\relax % seems to make luatex hang? } \newcount\entrycounter \entrycounter=0 \setuplabeltext[en][lines=,line=] \def\enseparator{\crlf} \long\def\appEntry#1#2{ \expandafter\startline[line:\the\entrycounter]% \expandafter\pagereference[page:\the\entrycounter]% {#1} \expandafter\stopline[line:\the\entrycounter]% \immediate\write\enotes{% {\expandafter\at[page:\the\entrycounter]}/{\noexpand\csname inline\expandafter\endcsname[line:\the\entrycounter]}~{#1}] {#2}\enseparator% }% \global\advance\entrycounter by 1\relax } \def\printendnotes{ \immediate\closeout\enotes \page[right] \expandafter\input\jobname.en } \starttext \startlinenumbering That’s a \appEntry{\bf lemma}{That’s a variant reading…}. \input tufte\crlf But then there’s a blackrule \appEntry{\blackrule[width=5cm]\crlf and a linebreak}{-- which we don’t want to repeat in the apparatus.}. \stoplinenumbering \printendnotes \stoptext Now, this is obviously a really primitive approach (I’m still learning…) which I’d like to improve in some ways: - How can I get rid of the blackrule in the apparatus? \noexpand\let\blackrule[#1]=\noexpand\relax throws an error (You can't use `macro parameter character #' in vertical mode.) while \noexpand\let\blackrule=\noexpand\relax eliminates the rule but simply prints the arguments in the square brackets. (Same holds true for every macro with arguments.) - What to do if I’d want to gobble \crlf or \par in the lemma while using them as separators after each apparatus entry? I tried to \let them to \relax, which ends in luatex getting stuck when it tries to import the .en-file. - How could I reset gobbled commands like \bf to their original meaning (I’d like to ignore \bf inside a lemma but still be able to have bold page numbers at the beginning of the apparatus entry)? I’m sure there are much more elegant ways to do this (probably in lua?), maybe someone could provide me with a hint where to start from? Thanks in advance, Daniel

text fragments in arabic
by R. Ermers 21 May '11

21 May '11

Dear all, I have some fragments of Arabic in my dutch context document (mkiv). I tried the environment ara-sty on the wiki, but Context halts at \setcharactermirroring[1] Then I found in an e-mail on the internet the suggestion to give up on setcharactermirroring and use instead these instructions: %\setupdirections[bidi=global] or \setupdirections[bidi=local] I replaced charactermirroring by \setupdirections[bidi=local] but there seems to be a problem with that too. The environment ara-sty apparently interferes with the section headings in my document anyway, perhaps because it is designed for documents whose mainlanguage is Arabic. I found elaborate suggestions to typeset a 'hello' document in Arabic, but my document contains mixed text. (When I uncomment ara-sty, the document is typeset normally.) Note that I have been typesetting Arabic texts in Latex (starting with ArabTeX) and xelatex (unicode) for years now, but I expected that typesetting Arabic in Context / Luatex is more complicated. Thus I have two questions: 1. which module should I load or which commands should I add to the preambule for typesetting Arabic, 2. how should I mark the Arabic fragments in my text? e.g. {\RT عقل}? Thanks in advance! Robert

Where to place typescripts so that they are globally accessable?
by John Magolske 20 May '11

20 May '11

I'm using MkIV installed from minimals, and have set up a typescript (type-lemonde.tex) for a font I'm using. It works fine when I copy type-lemonde.tex into the working directory, but I'd like to have it in one central location rather than having to copy it around to multiple project directories. I see: 1. Copy the typescript files into either $TEXMF/tex/texmf-fonts/tex/context/user $TEXMF/tex/texmf-project/tex/context/user http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Fonts_in_LuaTeX But `echo $TEXMF` comes up blank. What should TEXMF be set to? Is $TEXMF the same as the "ConTeXt path" mentioned here: A typescript must live in your project folder or in another folder in your ConTeXt path (e.g., (texmf)/tex/context/user) http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TypeScripts I've tried several things including: ~/context/tex/texmf-fonts/tex/context/user/type-lemonde.tex ...but can't seem to get anything to work.

[NTG-context] Suppress the citation number counts in the list of figures?
by seasoul 20 May '11

20 May '11

Dear All, I asked the same question in another post, but no replies except Thomas A. Schmitz asked me to make an example. In that post, I asked how to get the abosulute value of the bib entry, it is very confusing. Therefore, I made the example as below: Take the sample.bib in the wiki as the database file. Based on the citation sequence, "hh2010b" is expected to be the third reference, but because it is included in the figure caption, and the figure caption will be listed in the figure list at the beginning of the file, "hh2010b" becomes the first reference. How to make it the third reference? The resulting list of figure should be "The caption of this figure includes the citation, but this citation sequence is expected to be the same as in the paragraph[3]" instead of "The caption of this figure includes the citation, but this citation sequence is expected to be the same as in the paragraph[1]" \usemodule[bib] \setupbibtex[database=sample] %sample.bib in the wiki \setuppublications[sorttype=cite] \setuppublications[alternative=num,criterium=cite] \setuppublications[numbering=yes] % Show reference numbers in the generated list. \starttext \startfrontmatter % List of figures \title{List of Figures} \writetolist[Title] {} {List of Figures} \writebetweenlist [Title] {\blank} \placelist[figure][criterium=all] \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter This is the first place for citation\cite[hh2010].

How do I typeset two close vertical lines as in ||x||=1 ?
by Julian Becker 19 May '11

19 May '11

I'm still having problems migrating from latex to context: In latex, I used to write e.g. $\| x \| = 1$, and get two vertical lines on each side of the x. In ConTeXt, the same "\|" is only producing one single vertical line. I tried using "||" and "\parallel", but in both cases the spacing is not as desired. Does anybody know how this is done properly? Thanks, Julian

Where to find the code for the BibTeX integration?
by Jannis Pohlmann 18 May '11

18 May '11

Hi all, I would like to extend \setuppublicationlist by adding another numbering alternative: numbering=key. The only files I could find in the ConTeXt tree that contain something related to the numbering of BibTeX publication lists were bibl-{tra,bib}.{mkii,mkiv}. Since I'm using MKIV I tried to change those files but for that to work I had to use \usemodule[bibl-bib] or \usemodule[bibl-tra] instead of \usemodule[bib] the latter of which doesn't seem to be necessary with MKIV anyway. I did some searching in the LuaTeX code as well as in the ConTeXt tree but I couldn't find the right place to extend the behavior of \setuppublicationlist with the standard bib feature of MKIV. So I'm wondering: where is all this implemented? How would I go about adding numbering=key? Any hints and suggestions are welcome! Cheers, Jannis

A module for generic external syntax highlighter
by Aditya Mahajan 18 May '11

18 May '11

Hi all, I have modularized the vim module[1] so that it is easy to reuse components for other external syntax highlight programs. The set up for defining a new external syntax highlighting is done in t-syntax-highlight module, and the set up for defining a new color scheme is done in t-syntax-groups. The vim module simply calls these modules with the relevant setups. These modules also use an experimental coding style for the ConTeXt code. This is based on some discussions that we had on the list earlier. (This style sets the catcode of : to be other; this can break existing ConTeXt code). All modules work with both MkII and MkIV; as a result, some of the things are more complicated than they need to be just for MkIV. I believe that this split will make it easy to add new external programs as syntax highlighters. The external highlighter needs to generate ConTeXt code in a specific format: - Start each new line with \CR{} - Escape all \, {, and }, as \\, \{, and \} - Group each syntax region as follows: \SYN[group-name]{content} The external highlighter should also support a means of specifing the start and stop lines to be highlighted. At the TeX end, a new syntax highlighting module should specify the exact external command to be called, and define color schemes (style and color) for each of the group-name used in the \SYN command in the highlighter. In case anyone is interested in testing a specific external highlighter, let me know. Any other feedback is welcome. Aditya [1]: https://github.com/adityam/filter/tree/dev

MK IV new install /Mac OS X
by Matthias Weber 17 May '11

17 May '11

Dear all, I've been trying to install the TeX minimals on a new Mac. While MK II works, not so MK IV. I get the error message MTXrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua' Here is what I did: Downloaded TeXLive 2010 Then followed the instructions at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals/Mac_Installation I did this a few years back without a hitch, so I am wondering what is different now. In any case, in the above instructions, under Configuring ConTeXt, instep 4, the copies file has already the indicated changes in it. I used the same paths as indicated and ran luatools --generate as well as context --make Everything went ok without error messages. I then configured TeXShop as explained. As I said, MKII works fine but MKIV gives the error message. I searched the wiki for it and there seem to be some related reports, but I couldn't find a resolution. Any suggestions? If all fails I'll try to clone an older installation. Matthias

MP spot color in gradient - help!
by Duncan Hothersall 17 May '11

17 May '11

Struggling against a deadline here so apologies for no full sample. I have a gradient fill defined using \startuseMPgraphic{mpos:par:mylearnobj} path p; for i = 1 upto nofmultipars : p := multipars[1] topenlarged 8pt bottomenlarged 8pt leftenlarged 3cm ; color ca ; ca := \MPcolor{greenthirty} ; color cb ; cb := \MPcolor{white} ; sh := define_linear_shade(origin, origin shifted (120mm,0), ca, cb) ; fill p withshade sh ; endfor; \stopuseMPgraphic This works if the colour "greenthirty" is defined as a CMYK colour \definecolor[TAXBgreenthirty][c=.3,m=0,y=.057,k=.069] but, inevitably, my printer wants it defined as a spot ink, and when I do this: \definecolor[PantoneThreeOneFourFive][c=1,m=0,y=.19,k=.23] \definespotcolor[TAXBgreenthirty][PantoneThreeOneFourFive][p=.3] the gradient turns to black instead of green. (The spot colour definition works fine in the rest of the document, just not in the gradient fill.) Could someone possibly let me know if it is even possible to define a gradient using a spot colour, or if I should instead revert to some alternative solution. Thanks, Duncan

I use the following setup in a screen (\setuppapersize[S6][S6]) document: \setuplayout [header=0cm, topspace=.2cm, backspace=.2cm, margin=0cm, width=fit, footer=1cm, bottomdistance=5pt, bottom=20pt, height=fit] This gives a result as aspected! However adding the setting rightedge=3cm to the layout command, for a menu, yields an unexpected result. Okay, an area on the right of the screen is indeed blank as aspected! But the text of a full page is also shifted downward, and overlaps the text within the footer area, which is quite weird isn't it? I don't grasp this footer problem as indicated above!!!! Any idea what's wrong? Regards, Gerard Verhaag P.S. I use ConTeXt ver: 2011.03.30 11:21 MKIV fmt: 2011.3.30 int: english/english

Dear Wolfgang, Thank you for the files. > > Yes, the code is a separate module and you can download it here: https://bitbucket.org/wolfs/animation/src I downloaded in .zip file, and found many files. I copied t-animation.mkvi ../texmf-local/tex/context and run luatools --generate. After that try your sample file "animation-1.tex" and got a undefined control sequence -> \startanimation. The fact is that luatools didn't locate it. Should I do some more things to make it work? Is the module name t-animation.mkvi not ~.mkiv? Thank you again. Best regards, Dalyoung

Math spacing after comma (MkIV)
by Vedran Miletić 15 May '11

15 May '11

Hi, please consider this: \starttext \math{1, 2, 3} \stoptext Spacing after comma in MkIV is practically nonexistent. Is this intended? Vedran P.S. Using or not using OTF has no effect.

Dear Hans, > >> There is something wrong with the fieldstack mechanism. > > fixed in next beta (mismatch between field.value in javascript and > rendering key) > I updated to the latest beta(5/15) and tested both the Wolfgang's sample and mine. They are working well. Thank you for quick fixing of fieldstack and also for enhancing the sorting of Korean words. Best regards, Dalyoung

floats disturb section placement
by Steffen Wolfrum 15 May '11

15 May '11

Hi, attached you may find a 4-page minimal example containing 1 table and 3 section headings. If the table is set with \placetable[force]{Test}{ ... then the vertical distance above the headings is consistent. When you make it floatable: \placetable{Test}{ ... the the headings AFTER the table get a spurious extra space above! How can this be avoided? Every help is very welcome!! Steffen (just tested it with MkIV ver: 2011.05.06) -------

(URGENT) floating objects causing bug
by Steffen Wolfrum 15 May '11

15 May '11

Hi Hans, while finishing a big project (900 pages, 300 floating tables/figures) I noticed that the first line of each page is moving up/down (almost half a line)! Reason: As soon a a floating object is placed the next page is disturbed. I wrote a small minimal (see below) that shows the problem: compare the first lines of page 1 und 3 please. My project is otherwise finished ... :o( Do you think you could manage to write a fast patch for his bug, so I can deliver it tomorrow? Best regards, Steffen ------- \showframe \definepapersize[stw][width=14.7cm,height=22.3cm] \setuppapersize[stw][stw] \setuplayout [width=113mm,height=572pt, backspace=17mm,topspace=17mm, header=12pt,headerdistance=6pt, footer=36pt,footerdistance=0pt, location=middle,marking=off] \usetypescript[times] \setupbodyfont[times, 10pt]\setupinterlinespace[line=12pt] \setupindenting[10pt,yes] \starttext \dorecurse{2}{\input tufte\footnote{\input ward \par} \par} \dorecurse{2}{\input ward} \placefigure{Title}{\externalfigure[cow][width=0.5\textwidth]} \dorecurse{5}{\input tufte} \stoptext

Dear Wolfgang and Hans, Thank you for checking. I'll wait for next beta. It is one of nice features in presentation and was working well sometime ago. > Your mail reminds me to finish my animation module which makes it simpler > to generate such animations, e.g. the above can be written as > > \startanimation > {1} > {2} > \stopanimation > > and all the necessary symbols etc. are generated by the environment. It is great. Should I include some module? Where can I find it? Best regards, Dalyoung

nested quotes ?

Hi, I just saw something handy in a LaTeX document: nested quotes! The source looked liked this... \enquote{Needless to say \enquote{mind mapping} is just ...} And the result looked like this ... “Needless to say ‘mind mapping’ is just ...” Do we have something like this in ConTeXt too? Steffen

How to indent the paragraph after a \placefigure? Example: \setupindenting [yes, medium] \starttext This line is indented as intended. \placefigure[auto][fig:somefigure]{My graphic}{} This is not, but I'd like it to be. This line is fine. \stoptext Marco

about JS(Walk_Field{})
by Jeong Dalyoung 14 May '11

14 May '11

Dear all, I tried the following code for presentation, but not succeeded. It just draw a small circle without frame even "frame=on". The word "here" is colored green but there is no interaction when I click "here". Is there anything wrong in the following code? Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung \setupinteraction[state=start] \startbuffer[a] draw fullcircle scaled 1cm; \stopbuffer \startbuffer[b] draw fullcircle scaled 2cm; \stopbuffer \startbuffer[c] draw fullcircle scaled 3cm; \stopbuffer \definesymbol[step1][{\processMPbuffer[a]}] \definesymbol[step2][{\processMPbuffer[a,b]}] \definesymbol[step3][{\processMPbuffer[a,b,c]}] \definefieldstack [circles] [step1, step2, step3] [frame= on, offset= 3pt,framecolor=darkyellow,rulethickness=1pt] \starttext \placefigure[here][] {To see the animation, please click \goto{here}[JS(Walk_Field{circles})]} {\fieldstack[circles]} \stoptext

Dear Wolfgang and Otared, Yes, It is working now. But I don't know why it made an error before although \startcombination part worked well. I did something wrong before. Btw, What do mean it is not working correctly? Thank you for testing. Best regards, Dalyoung

mathalignment within a table - help needed!
by Alasdair McAndrew 14 May '11

14 May '11

Hello, I'm trying to typeset some linear algebra exercises for my students; the exercises will be within a table, and each second element will be a system of linear equations. This sort of thing: \starttable[|l|M|l|M|] \NC (a) \NC % \startmathalignment[n=7,align={right,middle,right,middle,right,middle,right}] \NC 3x\NC +\NC 6y\NC -\NC 2z\NC =\NC -13\NR \NC -6x\NC -\NC 9y\NC +\NC 5z\NC =\NC 22\NR \NC 3x\NC +\NC 3y\NC -\NC 5z\NC =\NC -13\NR \stopmathalignment \NC (b) \NC % \startmathalignment[n=7,align={right,middle,right,middle,right,middle,right}] \NC x\NC +\NC 3y\NC +\NC 3z\NC =\NC -4\NR \NC x\NC +\NC 4y\NC +\NC 5z\NC =\NC -5\NR \NC 2x\NC +\NC 4y\NC +\NC 3z\NC =\NC -5\NR \stopmathalignment \NC\AR \stoptable But this doesn't work. There seems to be a problem with the mathalignment environment within the table. What do I need enclose these in so that they will be treated as displayed equations within the table environment? I'm using MkII. Thanks, Alasdair -- Blog: http://amca01.wordpress.com Web: http://bit.ly/Alasdair Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/alasdair.mcandrew

by Jeong Dalyoung 14 May '11

Dear Wolfgang and Otared, Thank you for the reply. I have used \setupinteraction[state=start] and open with Adobe Reader already. \StartSteps worked well in \startitemize and \startcombination. For example, \StartSteps \startitemize \item $T(n) =$ \FlushStep \blank[5*big] \item $T(n) =$ \FlushStep \stopitemize \StopSteps ... \StartSteps \placefigure[none][]{} {\startcombination[3*1] {\externalfigure[TriNo60][width=.3\makeupwidth]}{\FlushStep} {\externalfigure[TriNo90][width=.3\makeupwidth]}{\FlushStep} {\externalfigure[TriNoDbl][width=.3\makeupwidth]}{\FlushStep} \stopcombination} \startformula T(n) = n(n+1) \over 2 \stopformula \FlushStep \StopSteps But I couldn't make it work with lines of formulas. I think that it is not working with \NC, \NR structure. I'll try t-rsteps and thank you for the file. It is another good way to make slides. Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung

dirty epub fixes
by Reviczky, Adam 13 May '11

13 May '11

Hans, Since I didn't got a working epub for the first few tries, I did some further inspections with epubcheck[1]. Using this minimal example: \setupbackend[export=test.xml,xhtml=test.xhtml,css={test.css,mathml.css}] \starttext Test \stoptext The main errors are: * opf: id has to be either "stylesheet" for css or the xhtml filename without the suffix * opf: itemref needs to be the name of the xhtml without the suffix Here's a very dirty quick fix I did to get a working epub: add after line 112 or so: + local id = file.removesuffix(filename) line 116: - used[#used+1] = format("<item id='%s' href='%s' media-type='%s'/>",i,filename,mime) + if suffix == "css" then + id = "stylesheet" + elseif suffix == "ncx" then + id = file.suffix(filename) + end + used[#used+1] = format("<item id='%s' href='%s' media-type='%s'/>",id,filename,mime) line 121: - package = format(package,identifier,identifier,concat(used,"\n"),root) + package = format(package,identifier,identifier,concat(used,"\n"),file.removesuffix(root)) I'm sure you make a better fix (I've attached the patched one in case it's easier to diff). Not sure if you want to do something about the other errors, but it'd be nice to have a valid epub in the end. Adam [1] http://code.google.com/p/epubcheck/

lm otf math
by Hans Hagen 13 May '11

13 May '11

Hi, The minimals now carry a beta version of lmmath.otf. Even when all lm and gyre math fonts are released, the vf variants will stay available if only because we need them to test luatex's virtual font machinery. As there is only one design size (but with a proper ssty feature), I decided to hook this font into the non-designsize variant, so you can test with: \usetypescript[modern-base] \setupbodyfont[modern] \starttext $e=mc^2$ \stoptext Problems can be reported to this list (or alternatively we can make a page on the wiki for it).
