updating in texlive
by Thomas Schmitz 06 Jan '11

06 Jan '11

Hi all, a Happy New Year to all of you! Here's a small question: from time to time, as a mental exercise (and because I like a backup), I try to bring my texlive installation up to date. I have copied these relevant files over from my minimal tree: - luatex binary - mtxrun - texmfcnf.lua (with modifications, of course) then unzipped the latest ConTeXt. Everything works - but I get no hyphenation. For a simple test file like: \mainlanguage[en] \starttext \hyphenatedword{philosophically} \stoptext I see in the log file mkiv lua stats : loaded patterns - en::2 but no hyphenation is given. in a run with the minimals, I see: mkiv lua stats : loaded patterns - en::2 mkiv lua stats : language load time - 0.155 seconds , nofpatterns: 1 (the last line is not present in the log from texlive). I don't see anything wrong in cont-en.log, so I wonder how I can find out why the patterns are not applied? All best Thomas

Lua error
by Khaled Hosny 06 Jan '11

06 Jan '11

I get the following error with current beta (did not happen few betas ago): ! LuaTeX error ...text/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/strc-mar.lua:512: attempt to get length of upvalue 'topofstack' (a number value) stack traceback: ...text/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/strc-mar.lua:512: in function <...text/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/strc-mar.lua:511> ...text/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/strc-mar.lua:517: in function 'fetched' ...text/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/strc-mar.lua:555: in function 'fetchonemark' ...text/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/strc-mar.lua:584: in function 'getmarking' <main ctx instance>:1: in main chunk.

TT font disregards margins
by Tom 05 Jan '11

05 Jan '11

I need to intersperse my text with code typed by someone else and am attempting to give the appearance of the code having been typed on a typewriter. The problem I am encountering is that the Teletyped text does not respect margin settings. What could be done to correct this? (I am running MKII on a Windows system). Example follows: \definepapersize[6X9][width=6.0in, height=9.0in] \setuppapersize[6X9][6X9] \setuplayout[ width=middle, height=middle, backspace=.75 in, topspace=.5 in, header=.25 in, footer=0 in, headerdistance=.25 in, footerdistance=0 in, bottomspace=0.9 in, cutspace=.875 in, ] \starttext WHETHER I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show. To begin my life with the beginning of my life, I record that I was born (as I have been informed and believe) on a Friday, at twelve o'clock at night. It was remarked that the clock began to strike, and I began to cry, simultaneously. \blank[big] {\tt{WHETHER I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show.

In-text itemizations break spacing
by Philipp A. 05 Jan '11

05 Jan '11

Hi ConTeXtans, \startitemize[text] is a very cool command, but i run frequently into “Overfull \hbox” errors. It would be nice if some context magicians would change the ~1em-wide space in front of the “•” or “(1.)” to scale and compensate the majority of line width issues. (you can easily chop off or add loads of space to a 1em-space without making it ugly) i hope you dig my idea, Philipp PS: if somebody doesn’t know how \startitemize[text] looks like; about like this: „Formen sind • Überspringen von Exons, • Benutzung alternativer 3’- und 5’-Splice-Stellen, • und alle Kombinationen aus oben genanntem.“ (You’ll need a proportional Font to see this and gmail and the mailing list need to conserve the em quad…)

counter values as label names
by Daniel Schopper 04 Jan '11

04 Jan '11

Dear list, this seems a really basic question (and probably not even strictly ConTeXt-focused) - so please accept my apologies… I'm trying to construct a macro which first creates two labels in the text (\start/stopline and \pagereference) with the value of a counter as the label name and then a footnote which prints the page and line numbers of those two. Supposedly because of my limited understanding of TeX's expansion mechanism I haven't been able to get things working with this code: \setuplinenumbering[% location=inner, step=5, method=page, style=\tfxx, align=left, distance=1.5cm, width=0.3cm] \setupfootnotes[ location=text, numberconversion=empty, paragraph=yes, ] \definenumber[entrycounter] \setnumber[entrycounter]{0} \def\appentry#1#2{% \startline[line:\getnumber[entrycounter]]% \pagereference[page:\getnumber[entrycounter]]% #1% \stopline[line:\getnumber[entrycounter]]% \footnote{{\bf \at[page:\getnumber[entrycounter]]}% \inline[line:\getnumber[entrycounter]] #1] #2}% \incrementnumber[entrycounter]% } By now I tried to adapt a LaTeX-only-solution which Uwe Lueck suggested on the texhax-mailinglist some years ago (cf. http://tug.org/pipermail/texhax/2006-July/006599.html) but failed quite miserably. I also tried the same with plain TeX registers (\newcount\entrycounter \entrycounter=0 etc.) instead of ConTeXt counters. Could it be easier to stuff the \pagereference and \startline-commands into before= and after= of setupfootnotes? Could anyone please give me a hint on this? The purpose of this: I'm trying to use mkIV's page and linenumbering facilities for a critical apparatus (in this case endnotes with page and line references). As I didn't succeed with Hans Hagen's recent suggestion (cf. http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg49695.html) I tried this quick and dirty way. Although it's far away from being perfect (in an ideal world the endnotes should be grouped into one paragraph per page and of course there would be more then one apparatus and so on) this seems to be a first approach to me… Cheers, Daniel

export and pagebreak
by Achim Jander 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

Hi all, first I wish a very happy new year to everybody! I think, this will be my last post for this year, but as i have tasted blood, the next year I will post a lot of further questions I think :-) Now I have Christmas holidays and can play the whole day with ConTeXt. I tested a little the export function. There is one thing I have on my wishlist: is it possible to get a <pagebreak/> into the exported XML? The background is that I have often the requirement to include pagebreak-info in online-productions (for citation reasons) and that could be a very good starting point. In fact, in the moment at the position where a pagebreak occurs, the space (if it occurs at a space) is eaten up. Minimal example: \setupbackend [export=yes] \starttext \startchapter [title=Tufte Example] \startparagraph \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte} \stopparagraph \stopchapter \stoptext At the break of pg 2 to pg 3 you will find lump,skip (without the space) in the exported file. Having the pagebreaks would be a great thing for me. Greetings Achim

Hi, I'd like to use the boxit MetaPost macros with ConTeXt minimals. Is there a way to tackle this or do I need the chart module for that. Am I right in saying that the boxit macros give more flexibility compared to the chart module? Or is it just a matter of taste? Regards, Gerard Verhaag

How to get graph module (metapost) to work with ConTeXt minimals?
by Verhaag, G.C.H.M. 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

Hi, This might not be the right place to ask this question, but want to give it a try anyway! I've installed the ConTeXt minimals (Mark IV!) recently, and running the command: context --version yields the following output: ... MTXrun | current version: 2010.07.30 11:35 Now I want to generate a few plots using the graph-module (by John D. Hobby) of MetaPost, which I used in the past to make high-quality plots. But when I add the following statement: input graph ; to the preamble of my MetaPost file and run the command: mpost plot.mp The run aborts with the following messages: >> texnum.mp >> texnum.mpx ! Unable to make mpx file. l.17 init_numbers(btex $-$etex, btex$1$etex, btex${\times}10$etex, Transcript written on texnum.log. TeXExec | processing graphic 'texnum.mpx' TeXExec | runtime: 1.547143 >> texnum.mp >> texnum.mpx ! Unable to make mpx file. l.17 init_numbers(btex $-$etex, btex$1$etex, btex${\times}10$etex, Transcript written on plot.log. So where to go from here? Do I need to install additional TeX related stuff to get it working? Anybody any suggestions, please? Thanks in advance! Regards, Gerard Verhaag P.S. By the way, if I use MetaPost within ConTeXt using: \loadmarkfile{m-graph} \starttext \startMPcode . /[MetaPost code] . / \stopMPcode \stoptext than everything works just fine!

Escaping in LuaTeX

I have a problem with Lua and the "#" operator. If I execute the following code I receive an error. \def\luacode% {\startluacode local t = {1, 2, 3} tex.print(#t) \stopluacode} \starttext \luacode \stoptext ConTeXt give me the message: ! Illegal parameter number in definition of \luacode. <to be read again> t l.4 tex.print(#t ) And if I execute the "H" command I get: You meant to type ## instead of #, right? Or maybe a } was forgotten somewhere earlier, and things are all screwed up? I''m going to assume that you meant ##. I've tryed with ##t, whit \#t, with \string#t, with \ctxlua instread of \startluacode and \stopluacode, and I've obtained some other errors, but ConTeXt always give me an error. Maybe should I escape in another manner the "#" operator?

line numbers - method=page
by Daniel Schopper 02 Jan '11

02 Jan '11

Dear all, on trying to reproduce the TEI to ConTeXt example on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TEI_xml I haven't been able to get the line numbering per page working right. I directly copy-pasted the relevant part of the seventh listing which goes like this: \setuplinenumbering[location=inner, step=5, method=page, style=\tfxx, align=left, distance=0.3em, width=0.3cm] - unfortunately to no avail. method=page isn't mentioned neither in the context manual nor in the wiki so I fear I'll have to find some workaround? Being a absolute newbie to ConTeXt I actually tried some primitive fiddling with variations of \setupheadertexts[\setcounter{linenumber}{0}] I'm using ConTeXt ver: 2010.07.30 11:35 MKIV fmt: 2010.12.31 which should be the newest version available on http://tlcontrib.metatex.org/2010. Any kind of help is highly appreciated! Please forgive me if there has been already mentioned a solution on this list which I missed… Thanks in advance! Daniel

framed float with offset
by Sanjoy Mahajan 02 Jan '11

02 Jan '11

Is there a way to have figures placed on a slightly larger colored background and then have paragraph text flow around the enlarged area? I tried the following (using ver 2009.11.26 16:28 MKII): \setupcolors[state=start] \starttext \placefigure[right,none]{}% {\externalfigure[sample/cow.pdf]% [scale=500, frame=on, frameoffset=20pt, framecolor=black, background=color, backgroundcolor=lightgray, backgroundoffset=20pt]} \input knuth \stoptext But the frame and background bleed into the text. I tried wrapping the externalfigure in a \framed, and also wrapping that in an \vbox or an \hbox (desperate measures, I admit). But somehow the \placefigure always knew exactly the size of the cow itself and used only that information, rather than the size of the enlarged background. Any suggestions appreciated. (I'd wikify in the framed section.) -Sanjoy

Hi, Hans: I think there are problems with the current MKIV font loading code. sample code: \definefontfeature[minion][language=dflt, script=latn, onum=yes, kern=yes, pnum=yes] \definefontsynonym[Minion][MinionPro-Regular][features=minion] \definefont[Minion][Minion at 34pt] \starttext \Minion 1234567890 \stoptext This works in MKII (XeTeX). Please fix that. Thanks Yue Wang

Identifying fonts on my system
by Tom 30 Dec '10

30 Dec '10

My first step in trying to understand fonts is to determine exactly which fonts are loaded onto my system. Is there a command that will list all the fonts currently resident on my TexLive 2008 MKII installatation? Mfonts.pdf mentions that Adobe's 15 standard fonts are also available. How do I determine what they are and how to identify them in commands? Tom Benjey 717-258-9733 voice 717-243-0074 fax Twitter: @TomBenjey

Layout for the first page

Hello to all of you. I'm working on a document that must have a layout for the first page and a different layout for all the other pages. On this mailing list Hans Hagen said that the technique to set up a layout for the first page of a document is \setuplayout[1][key=value, ... ] I tried that code in this way: \definelayout[1][% layout for the first page backspace=6cm, cutspace=6cm, width=middle] \definelayout[% global layout for all the other other pages backspace=1cm, cutspace=1cm, width=middle] \setuplayout \starttext \showframe \dorecurse{20}{\input dawkins \par \input knuth \par} \stoptext this code doesn't work. Where am I in fault? Sam Qasbah

Arrows in symbol font
by Achim Jander 29 Dec '10

29 Dec '10

Hi all, I tried to insert an right arrow in my text via \definefontsynonym[Symbol][symbol.ttf] \definesymbol[test_ae][\getglyph{Symbol}{\char"AE}] \starttext Test ae: \symbol[test_ae]\par \stoptext where AE was the codepoint Windows Char Table gave me. But in the pdf there was a Diamond-Sign, which should reside at codepoint A8. So I tested a litte more and finally found the arrow at \definesymbol[rarr][\getglyph{Symbol}{\char"C6}] On the arrow-side i am happy now, but confused how that happens. I did some analysis of the font, it includes 2 cmaps, one type 0 cmap which declares (converted to xml for analysis): <map code="0xae" name="arrowright"/> and a type 4 cmap which has <map code="0xf0ae" name="arrowright"/> So I would expect one of this codes to be working (in fact, both codepoints work eg in Word). But \char"AE gives the diamond and \char"F0AE gives nothing at all. Can anyone give me some enlightment? Thanks, Achim

Hi, the luatex-mplib.lua is missing at least in the beta 2010.12.22 for linux x86. luatools' output is repeated twice. for example: $ luatools context.tex /opt/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/context.tex /opt/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/context.tex this problem causes i can not use the commands such as `cd $(dirname $(luatools context.tex))`. -- Best regards, Li Yanrui

using font from a specified location
by Mojca Miklavec 24 Dec '10

24 Dec '10

Dear list, I have a bunch of fonts at some location (../myfonts/) relative to TeX files (for example ../myfonts/myfontA.otf). What is the best way to access them in MKIV? The best option might be to specify something equivalent to "export TEXINPUTS=../myfonts", but I don't know what exactly I have to use. (A command like \addtotexinputs or \addtosearchpath[../myfonts].) Alternatively \definefontsynonym[a][file:../myfonts/myfontA.otf] would also be acceptable, though I find it a bit ugly. Thanks a lot, Mojca

\note and \footnote
by Jon Crump 23 Dec '10

23 Dec '10

All, Something elementary, I'm sure, that I'm not understanding. I'm trying to achieve parallel footnotes in arab/english texts, ie. each footnote in the Arabic text has a corresponding footnote in the English text. Both should point to the same footnote text. Like this: <body> <text> <div type='arText'> <lb /> some arab <ref target="#N01">text</ref> <lb /> more arab <ref target="#N02">text</ref> </div> <div type='enText'> <lb /> some english <ref target="#N01">text</ref> <lb /> more english <ref target="#N02">text</ref> </div> <div type='fnotes'> <note xml:id="N01">text for note ONE</note> <note xml:id="N02">text for note TWO</note> </div> </text> </body> I thought to use TeX's \note[ref], but the following doesn't seem to work. \startxmlsetups xml:ref \define\thisRefName{\xmlatt{#1}{target}} \xmldoifelse{#1}{parent::div[@type='arText']} {\footnote[\thisRefName]{\xmlfirst{#1}{root::/body/text/div[@type='fnotes']/note[@xml:id==string.sub('\xmlatt{#1}{target}',2)]}}} {\note[\thisRefName]} \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:div:fnotes \placefootnotes \stopxmlsetups I just get ?? for the reference markers in the English text. Any clues as to what I'm doing wrong; or, is there a better way altogether to approach this? Jon

I'm trying to make a simple Augmented matrix using \startmathmatrix and cannot seem to get \VL working correctly. I'd assume to do an augmented matrix I'd do: \startformula \left[ \startmathmatrix[n=4] 1 \NC 1 \NC 1 \VL 1\NR 0 \NC 1 \NC -1 \VL 2\NR 0 \NC 0 \NC 2 \VL 8 \stopmathmatrix \right] \stopformula but I get an undefined control sequence.

how to ask lua if glyph nr. x exists in current font

Hello, I'm trying to decrypt the LuaTeX reference manual.

I would like to know if a glyph with some Unicode value is present in the font or not. Thanks for the hints, Mojca

Problem with PDF generating module documentation in Ctx minimals

Dumb quotes and dashes, globally and in verbatim text
by Philipp A. 22 Dec '10

22 Dec '10

so i want to use ' and -- in my code, which is embedded via \starttyping \stoptyping, but that’s impossible. context replaces -- with – and ' with ’. that’s wrong. i need to be able to tell context it shouldn’t do any “smart” stuff, since i’m smart enough to press the ’-key if i want the character ’. so what i ask for: 1. we should change the standard behavior of context to “don’t replace --, ' and whatnot in verbatim areas” 2. we should be able to trigger this globally, for people who have a useful keyboard layout and can type “special” characters as fast as ascii. is the latter already built in somehow?

Hi again, hm, I need to pass a \setupTABLE command ... context.setupTABLE({column}{each}{width=number.todimen(.041*tex.dimen.textwidth),align="flushright",offset="1pt"}) However this does not work. How must this be done? KR Willi
