Thicker row separator in a table
by Procházka Lukáš 22 Oct '10

22 Oct '10

Hello, I'm trying to get a thicker [transparent] row separator in a table. I have the following code: --- \definetabulate[TabA][|c|] \def\XROW{\vrule height 2.5ex depth 1.ex} \starttext \startTabA A \NR % Next Row B \NR C \SR % Separate Row D \MR % Mid Row E \AR % Auto Row F \NR \stopTabA \startTabA 1 \XROW width 1em \NR 2 \XROW width 1cm \NR 3 \NR 4 \NR \stopTabA \stoptext --- I tried all \?R commands (first table) but there is the same space between each row of the table. (BTW: What is the difference in use or purpose between \MR, \SR and \AR?) I'm trying to achieve a bigger space between two rows, like between 1 and 2 or 2 and 3 in the second table. But, I had to use a bit "dirty" trick - to use an auxiliary blank \vrule with a specific height and depth (= \XROW). That is, I'm actually growing the height of rows instead of growing their separator (= space between them). Is there a "cleaner" way how to achieve a bigger space between two rows? (I mean between two specific rows, not between rows of one table in general.) Lukas

How to remove \jobname-mpgraph.dddd?
by Mojca Miklavec 22 Oct '10

22 Oct '10

I have a silly question - how do I remove mpgraph files now that ctxtools is gone and "context --purge" doesn't know about them? "context" doesn't need to know about mpgraph files as long as MKIV is not generating them, but if there is no mkii-only --purge alternative ... I have fifty files \jobname-mpgraph.4000 ... \jobname-mpgraph.3951 and even though I can use "rm", --purge would be a lot more convenient. Mojca

ConTeXt editors (vim?)
by S Barmeier 22 Oct '10

22 Oct '10

Dear all, I don't know how you all compile your context documents. I have used Winefish until now, but it is no longer maintained (last stable version 2006) and so I was thinking of switching to something else. I have looked at vim and it looks promising. There is a compiler file from Aditya (2006) which uses texexec. I was wondering if anybody would be interested in a vim compiler for mkiv (maybe somebody has one already?). Other suggestions are also welcomed. Best, Severin

missing accents
by Mojca Miklavec 22 Oct '10

22 Oct '10

Ouch, After updating ConTeXt today, the accents went into digital heaven in exactly the wrong moment ... I'm using an OpenType font with some missing accents. This didn't work earlier (I didn't debug for too long): \definefontfeature[default][default][compose=yes] And this stopped working after I updated ConTeXt today: \catcode`ć=\active \defć{\buildtextaccent\textacute c} It still works with XeTeX (but I have some other (solvable) problems there).

Problem processing a non-UTF8 Lua script
by Procházka Lukáš 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

Hello, I have a problem with processing a Lua file similar to that with \typefile described several days (weeks?) ago. Let's have the following files: - Ctx: --- \mainlanguage[cz] \enableregime[cp1250] \starttext AAA \startluacode local t = dofile("t.lua") context(t) \stopluacode \stoptext --- - And the t.lua: --- -- return "111" -- This worked OK return "žšč" -- This is problem for Ctx --- When I try the t.lua from Win console by "Lua -e dofile('t.lua')", there is no problem. When I run the Ctx file, it has problem processing characters with diacritics (like "čřž..."); the t.lua is not encoded in UTF-8 (which seems to be supposed by Ctx-Lua), but I'm using the cp1250 code page + each character = 1 B. The error message is: --- MTXrun | run 1: luatex --fmt="c:/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/f53042fa2e1c106bc7e3383ec8c3a00c/formats/cont-en" --lua="c:/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/f53042fa2e1c106bc7e3383ec8c3a00c/formats/cont-en.lui" --backend=pdf "D:/L ukas/ConTeXt/Samples/U8/t-U8.mkiv"This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.63.0-2010090921 (rev 3873) \write18 enabled.

Simple document with hyperlinks
by Procházka Lukáš 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

Hello, I'm not able to create a document with working hyperlinks in ConTeXt. The document attached was created in LaTeX - and I'd like to create a similar one in ConTeXt: --- \documentclass{article} \usepackage{hyperref} \begin{document} This a~label.\label{a-label} \newpage This is \hyperlink{a-label}{a ref to it}. \end{document} --- The document: - Should be a "print version" (A4 portrait), but with working hyperlinks. - I don't need to refer to any section, chapter, page etc. I need to create an "anchor", a named "point" in the document, and than to refer to it. - It's not important whether the "clickable" area is framed (default in LaTeX) or green (which seems to me to be default in ConTeXt; guessing by the last contextref.pdf) or highlighted another way. It's just necessary to be working and good if it also changes the default cursor appearance from caret to e.g. "go to hand". I believe it's too easy but - how to do it in ConTeXt? Lukas

Hi, the following code calls ‘trace_context()’ which is created only later on line 254.

Pound sign £ output as italic dollar sign [urgent]

Dear ConTeXtuals, Following up on my previous question regarding "Custom enumeration" (see ntg-context Digest, Vol 76, Issue 71), I penned down a few thoughts about counters. If you're interested take a look: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5718469/counters.pdf It's also my first ConTeXt document, so please bear with the amateurish formatting. I anyone can explain how to keep the annoying spurious spaces from cropping up in my verbatim typing environment with option=commands switched on, I would also be grateful.

Caption textcommand option
by Cedric Mauclair 20 Oct '10

20 Oct '10

Hi Hans and all, Would it be possible to add an options to the captions with name textcommand to typeset the caption text only. In French, we use a point at the end of the captions, but if I want to use \about... somewhere, I end up with the dot too, which I don't want. Currently I have changed, rather crudely, the definition of \putcompletecaption... to take that into account. Here is what I came up with. \def\DotAtEnd#1{#1.} \setupcaptions[\c!textcommand=\DotAtEnd] % ADDED \long\def\putcompletecaption ... \begstrut\floatcaptionparameter\c!textcommand{#2}\endstrut\endgraf % MODIFIED \fi \endgroup %\floatcaptionparameter\c!after % test for side effects first \doifsomething{\floatcaptionparameter\c!spaceafter}{\blank[\floatcaptionparameter\c!spaceafter]}} %% END YUCK!!

Re: [NTG-context] Failure to Install minimals on iBook G3
by Robert Blackstone 20 Oct '10

20 Oct '10

Thank you, Arthur and Mojca, for your quick and clear response. It is probably not worth bothering for this particular machine. I have access to the minimals on several other Macs (including a much older, not to say ancient PowerMac G4, also on Tiger). So I'm not particularly needy in this respect. I rescued this iBook from a garbage dump, in fact there were two of them, both defect, from which I have been able to make one working machine, and I just thought that it would have been nice to have ConTeXt-minimals on it. But it is puzzling. I never had any problems with two other PPC Macs, so what makes this one essentially different? (No answer needed.) Best regards, Robert Blackstone

Btw, this iBook can handle TeX and ConTeXt. I installed MacTeX 2009 and everything works. But I would prefer the minimals. Thanks in advance. Robert Blackstone

problem with t-filter/t-vim
by Chen Shen 19 Oct '10

19 Oct '10

Hi Adityam, I am using the t-filter/t-vim module, and got stuck with two problems with it. 1. everything works fine if there is only one \definevimtyping declaration. However, if i declare two of them, as in the following: %%%%%%% \definevimtyping[PythonCode][syntax=python] \definevimtyping[CPPCode][syntax=cpp] \startPythonCode ... % Code A \stopPythonCode \startPythonCode ... % Code B \stopPythonCode %%%%%%% The counter for the temporary files is never incremented. So there is only "jobname-externalfilter-PythonCode-0.tmp" in the directory. Consequently, Code B appears twice in the produced PDF, while Code A never appears. 2. Every line in the Python code becomes a new paragraph in ConTeXt. I wonder if this could be changed. I am using \setupwitespace[line], so the spacing between two lines of source is too large.

What is the replacement for the 'stop_run' callback?
by Tad Ashlock 19 Oct '10

19 Oct '10

Hi All, I'm trying to update a ConTeXt module of mine. It does some data gathering during the ConTeXt run, and then processes it after the run is complete. This used to work last year: local id, err = callback.register('stop_run', new_stop_run_function) But now err is set to "callback 'stop_run' is frozen (actions performed at the end of a run)". I see from the mailing list archive that registering user callbacks was disallowed in February of this year (2010). I also saw some advice for installing other new user processing (like 'pre_linebreak_filter'), but no general advice for adapting to the lack of callbacks. ( http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20100219.130524.b3857a0a.en.html) After trying various approaches for a couple of hours, I'm calling for help. :) Here's what I ended up with: \startluacode print('%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% TEST1') local function after_run (head, groupcode) print('%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% TEST2') return head, true end nodes.tasks.appendaction('finalizers','after','after_run') \stopluacode \starttext \input knuth \stoptext In the output, I see the TEST1 line, but not the TEST2 line. I don't know what "head" and "groupcode" are, but those seem to be the expected parameters for an action. I don't know why it returns "head, true", but that was recommended in a posting ( http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20100410.005025.76ac9efd.en.html) I have no idea if 'finalizers' is the right parameter, but I didn't see any others that looked like it could be synonymous with 'stop_run'.

quoted environment arguments
by Philipp Gesang 18 Oct '10

18 Oct '10

Hi, there’s a behaviour concerning how context handles forced quotes in command line arguments that I do not understand. ··· <example> ··················································· for i=-1,#environment.rawarguments do print(i, environment.rawarguments[i], environment.originalarguments[i]) end ·· </example> ··················································· Now run this as ‘test.lua’ with mtxrun: # mtxrun --script test.lua \"simple\" \"more complex\" Here I get the following output: ··· <result> ···················································· -1 texlua texlua 0 /home/kokytos/context/tex/texmf-linux/bin/mtxrun /home/kokytos/context/tex/texmf-linux/bin/mtxrun 1 --script --script 2 test.lua test.lua 3 "simple" simple" 4 "more more complex 5 complex" nil ·· </result> ···················································· Number 3 indicates that a quoted argument is fully unquoted iff it gets parsed into multiple arguments. It also leads to ‘Unbalanced quotes in argument ./simple"’ when used with the main ‘context’ script. It would make sense if you expect only args containing spaces to be explicitly quoted, though. I would propose a patch like the one I attached but I’m having difficulties testing locally modified copies of the core Lua files, so it remains untested. Philipp

Trouble with ConTeXt's project structure
by Stefan Müller 18 Oct '10

18 Oct '10

Dear list, I tried to set up a project of mine using the project structure propagated in the wiki [1]. Because I ran into some trouble I made the following small example (using MkIV, minimals 2010.10.14 13:14). %% project_mymag.tex \startproject project_mymag \environment env_mymag \product prd_year2004-01 \completecontent[criterium=all] \stopproject %% EOF %% env_mymag.tex \startenvironment env_mymag \setupindenting[medium, yes] %some random setup \stopenvironment %% EOF %% prd_year2004-01 \startproduct prd_year2004-01 \project project_mymag \component c_editorial \component c_article01 \stopproduct %% EOF %% c_editorial.tex \startcomponent c_editorial \product prd_year2004-01 \project project_mymag \chapter{Editorial} Dear reader... \stopcomponent %% EOF %% c_article01.tex \startcomponent c_article01 \product prd_year2004-01 \project project_mymag \chapter{First Article} This will be awesome... \stopcomponent %% EOF When I translate the project file I get what I want, e.g. 3 pages: first page "Editorial", second page "First Article", third page "Content". When I translate the product file I don't get "Editorial", "First Article" as expected, but "Content", "Editorial", "First Article". It seems as if context first typesets the project file without going down inside the products again, before typesetting the originally called project. When I translate one of the component files, lets say c_editorial.tex, I get "Contents", "Editorial" instead of just one page "Editorial". Again, it seems as if context first looks inside the project file (without going down) and only then typesets the component. Another case, same problem. If I drop the "product", i.e. I only have a project file including several components, the individual component files and an environment file, kind of the same problems appear. Translating the project file works well. Translating the component file c_editorial.tex results in a PDF with 4 pages (instead of one with "Editorial"): "Editorial", "First Article", "Contents", "Editorial". Context puts the whole project in the PDF and appends the component c_editorial... All this seems very strange to me, especially since a friend told me project structure works pretty well in his projects. I tested on two different machines (Windows Vista and Linux). Am I doing something wrong? Is this a bug or a feature? Thanks for your help in advance. Best wishes, Stefan. [1] http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Project_structure

pictures in tabulate
by Thomas A. Schmitz 18 Oct '10

18 Oct '10

Hi all, I'm looking for a way to use pictures inside a tabulate environment. Unfortunately, newer versions of ConTeXt don't take the picture height into account. The following code gives a somewhat disappointing result both in mkii and mkiv: \starttext \starttabulate[|rw(3em)|p|] \NC YYY \NC ZZZ \NC \NR \NC XXX \NC \dontleavehmode \externalfigure[cow][frame=on,width=0.5\textwidth] \NC \NR \NC YYY \NC ZZZ \NC \NR \stoptabulate \stoptext Interestingly, this used to work a couple of years ago (last time I used this was 2008), but something must have changed. I tried putting the externalfigure into a \tbox, but no dice. Bug or feature? All best Thomas

\ReadFile in MkII vs MkIV
by Aditya Mahajan 18 Oct '10

18 Oct '10

Hi, In MkII, I can say \ReadFile{/tmp/filename} to read a file in /tmp directory. However, in MkIV, that fails because ReadFile is defined as \unexpanded\def\ReadFile #1{\doreadfile{any} {.}{#1}\donothing\donothing} so it explicitly searches in the . (current) directory. Bug or feature? Aditya

Wanted: ConTeXt: The poster
by Martin Schröder 16 Oct '10

16 Oct '10

Hi, for use at a conference booth I'd like to have a poster (A3 up to A0) describing (and of course promoting) ConTeXt. You may assume that the audience already knows (La)TeX. :-) The first use would be at OpenRheinRuhr in November. Since most ConTeXt developers will be together next week, could you please spend some time creating one? A short (say 20 frames) PDF presentation on the same subject would also be nice to have. Best Martin

Re: [NTG-context] Furigana
by S Barmeier 16 Oct '10

16 Oct '10

Thank you, it's almost working. I am making use of projects, products, environments and components. My \usemodule[ruby] sits in my environment file, but I'm using the \ruby command down in the component file. The environment is only called in the project file, but the component links back to the product (with \product - I guess that's how you do it?) and the product back to the project. The error occurs, no matter at which level (project/product/component) I am compiling. Do I really need to call the module in each component? I thought the component should trace back to the higher levels to find which modules to load...

A few puzzling problems (bugs?) with enumerations
by Mathieu Boespflug 16 Oct '10

16 Oct '10

Hi, using the latest beta, I've had a bunch of problems using enumerations in mkiv. Earlier betas have had the same problems. Consider the following document: \defineenumeration [definition] [ text=Definition, title=yes, list=all, listtext={Definition }] \defineenumeration [theorem] [ text=Theorem, title=yes, style=italic, list=all, number=definition, listtext={Theorem }] \defineenumeration [proof] [ text=Proof, number=no, headstyle=italic, title=no, closesymbol={\mathematics{\square}}, style=normal] \starttext blah blah \startdefinition{foo} body1 \stopdefinition \startdefinition body2 \stopdefinition \startdefinition[-] body3 \stopdefinition \starttheorem $P = NP$ \stoptheorem \startproof too long to fit here. \stopproof \section{Inside sections} \subsection{Inside subsections} \startdefinition{foo} body1 \stopdefinition \startdefinition body2 \stopdefinition \startdefinition[-] body3 \stopdefinition \starttheorem[thm:pnp] $P = NP$ \stoptheorem \startproof too long to fit here. \stopproof Let's talk about \in{theorem}[thm:pnp]. \stoptext I see five problems : 1. Even when the enumeration has no title, the parentheses appear. Judging by Aditya's code in his MyWay on theorems, it used to be that when there is no title, the parens don't appear. How do I recover this behaviour? 2. I want the "theorem" enumeration to share its number with the "definition" environment. That doesn't seem to work. Outside of any section, the theorem just doesn't have any number. Inside a section, the theorem very oddly displays the section number. 3. I want the "proof" enumeration to have no number. That doesn't work inside a section. As for the "theorem" enumeration, the section number is printed even though here i requested no number at all! 4. Suppressing the number for a specific enumeration using the [-] switch doesn't work. As before, inside a section, the section number appears instead of no number. 5. Citing a specific theorem using \in{theorem}[thm:pnp] doesn't show the number of a theorem. I'm guessing the last four points are all related. Best regards, Mathieu

How to set the caption length?
by seasoul 16 Oct '10

16 Oct '10

When a figure is placed, but this figure size is much smaller than the textwidth, the caption length will adjust after the figure size. \placefigure [][fig:xxx] {xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx} {\externalfigure[xxx]} when set the figure size to an arbitrary size, the caption length will also change. But what I expect is, i change the figure size, but the caption size is always the textwith, or i can set it arbitrarily, for example 90% of the text size. I know it should be very easy, but honestly, i do not know.

Thesis example, source files
by Shishir Kumar 16 Oct '10

16 Oct '10

Hi, I am a PhD student and am starting on writing my thesis. I have looked at Aditya's and The Thanh's thesis, and they are very nice. Unfortunately, I could not find the sources for these. Does anybody know if they are available somewhere? It would be nice to have them on the wiki. The problems that I faced were related to placement of table of contents, references, figures and fonts. I also found that quite a lot of information is available on the wiki and at Pragma, but it is not organised well and needs rather large amount of time investment (both of which may be due to my ignorance).

Is it possible to pass unmarked paragraphs into Lua for processing
by Kevin D. Robbins 16 Oct '10

16 Oct '10

Hi all, I am wondering if and how it might be possible to catch all unmarked paragraphs in a TeX file and pass them into Lua. So, in the following example, each of the first three unmarked paragraphs would be passed to the Lua function "process_paragraph" for optional processing, but the fourth paragraph between \startmarkedparagraph...\stopmarkedparagraph would not be passed to "process_paragraph". I want the Lua function to be able to eat each of the first three unmarked paragraphs and optionally write some processed version back out to be typeset, but there should be the possibility that none of the paragraphs are typeset at all. In the latter case that no text is to be typeset at all, is there a way to prevent ConTeXt/LuaTeX from creating an empty PDF? \startluacode def process_paragragh (par) -- Some magic here... -- Maybe a context (processed_par) to typeset the processed paragraph... end \stopluacode \starttext Thus, I came to the conclusion that the designer of a new system must not only be the implementer and first large||scale user; the designer should also write the first user manual. \startitemize \item One \item Two \item Three \stopitemize The separation of any of these four components would have hurt \TeX\ significantly. If I had not participated fully in all these activities, literally hundreds of improvements would never have been made, because I would never have thought of them or perceived why they were important. But a system cannot be successful if it is too strongly influenced by a single person. Once the initial design is complete and fairly robust, the real test begins as people with many different viewpoints undertake their own experiments. \startmarkedparagraph Thus, I came to the conclusion that the designer of a new system must not only be the implementer and first large||scale user; the designer should also write the first user manual. \stopmarkedparagraph \stoptext Thanks, Kevin

Problem with \date command

Hi all, Today I wanted to use the command "\date[d=15,m=10,y=2010][weekday]". It gives "Friday" as it should. However "\date[d=2,m=1,y=2011][weekday]" gives the same result which is wrong (it's a Sunday). In fact, whatever the supplied date, it gives "Friday". I guess the parameter isn't taken into account here. Bug or feature? -- Cédric

en-dash for ranges of numbers in Bibliographies
by Florian Wobbe 15 Oct '10

15 Oct '10

Hi, in BibTeX databases ranges of numbers are usually listed with a single dash (e.g. 3-7) for compatibility reasons. Therefore the standard BibTeX styles convert a single dash in page numbers or range of numbers to a double dash (3--7). How do I get the same behaviour for \volume \issue \pages in the bibliographic module? Thanks! Cheers, Florian
