Calling Lua function from an external package
by Procházka Lukáš 29 Sep '10

29 Sep '10

Hello, I have the following problem. Let's have T~.lua file which defines a function: --- function F2() context("draw (0,0)--(5cm,0)") end print("T~OK!") --- Let's have MP-02.ctx ConTeXt source file: --- \starttext AAA \startluacode function F() context("draw (0,0)--(2cm,0)") end require("T~") context.startMPcode() F() -- F2() context.stopMPcode() \stopluacode \stoptext --- Such code works OK - produces .pdf with a text "AAA" and a horizontal line. You can find the text "T~OK!" in the compilation log - that means T~.lua was successfully loaded. When I remove comment marks in front of F2() (which is defined in T~.lua), so I get: --- \starttext AAA \startluacode function F() context("draw (0,0)--(2cm,0)") end require("T~") context.startMPcode() F() F2() context.stopMPcode() \stopluacode \stoptext --- the compilation to .pdf fails with the following error message: --- 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 "./MP -02.ctx"This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.63.0-2010090921 (rev 3873) \write18 enabled.

Hi all, please have a look at the following example: \starttext \showframe \section{test} \dorecurse{36}{test\par} \section{test} \startitemize \dorecurse{12}{\item #1} \stopitemize % \dorecurse{12}{• #1\blank} \stoptext I would like to prevent the page break after the second section. It works okay if the head is followed by normal text. Is there a key I have not found yet? I tried all kind of combinations … Greeting Andreas

insert pagebreak in toc (MkIV)
by Steffen Wolfrum 29 Sep '10

29 Sep '10

Hi, somewhere I saw the code how to insert a pagebreak in the table of content. I remember it somehow was related to the new structure model (one could specify after which sections the table should break). But I don't remember how it was done .... Could someone help, please? Thanks, Steffen

Custom lua script (updating and debugging)
by Stefan Müller 29 Sep '10

29 Sep '10

Hi list, I'm currently messing around with a custom lua script (a pretty printer) and I have some beginner trouble. First: I put the file in "MyContexDir\tex\texmf\tex\context\base\". What do I have to do to let ConTeXt work with the script and to let ConTeXt know that something has changed in the script? Is "context --generate" enough (after initializing with "setuptex.bat")? Second: How can I debug errors in my *.lua file? Just put print("debug message") in the function that is (supposed to be) called? Any help appreciated and thanks in advance! Stefan

pagenumbers in metafun
by Thomas A. Schmitz 28 Sep '10

28 Sep '10

Hi all, first, for thosw of you who went to the meeting: welcome back home from the ConTeXt meeting - looking at the slides and at the pictures made me really sad I couldn't come; I really hope I will be able to make it next year to Porquerolles! Here's a question that has been on my mind for a while now and that I would have loved to ask Taco and Hans at Brejlov: we now have shiny new \userpagenumber and \realpagenumber etc. Is any of these available and accessible from within Metafun? Right now, in a StartPage -- StopPage environment, I use NOfPages and PageNumber, but it would be convenient if we had access to userpagenumber as well (so the number can be reset etc.) All best Thomas

unnumbered chapters
by Alan BRASLAU 27 Sep '10

27 Sep '10

A standard (wiki, manual) means of obtaining an unnumbered chapter is to use \title, but this does not create an entry into the toc. So one can create a new head, as in: \definehead [unnumberedchapter] [chapter] \setuphead [unnumberedchapter] [number=no] \definecombinedlist [content] [unnumberedchapter,chapter,section] \setuplist [unnumberedchapter] [headnumber=no] Bof! (pardon my French, as they say in polite circles) Much easier (or cleaner if you wish), using the structured syntax, is: \startchapter [number=no,incrementnumber=no, title={Conclusions}] \stopchapter (The {} are not necessary, but I believe that this may make things more readable, given the practice to enclose typeset text within curly braces.) A problem occurs, though, if we use labels, as in: \setuplabeltext [chapter={Chapter }] % with trailing space; blank by default (which Hans *never, ever* uses, by the way...) We then get: Chapter 1 First Chapter 2 Second Chapter Conclusions I think that the macros are missing a "label=no" option. Unless, that is, I am missing something obvious. Alan

figure numbering in appendices
by Mojca Miklavec 27 Sep '10

27 Sep '10

Dear list, The following code numbers the figures in appendices with Roman numbers in MKIV (while in MKII there is no difference at all). On top of that it doesn't restart the counter, but simply continues. In my opinion the Roman numerals should be easy to configure, but not set by default, and it particular figures should not be numbered with 1,2,3,IV,V,VI, ... (Also, usually the pages are numbered with lowercase roman numbers in frontmatter, not in appendices.) \starttext \startfrontmatter \placefigure{first}{first} \page \placefigure{second}{second} \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \placefigure{third}{third} \stopbodymatter \startappendices \placefigure{fourth}{fourth} \page \placefigure{fifth}{fifth} \stopappendices \stoptext Mojca

Justifying last line of paragraph
by Elias Oltmanns 27 Sep '10

27 Sep '10

Hi there, what I'm trying to achieve is splitting a paragraph into two -- from TeX's point of view -- that still look like one single paragraph. To this end, I have to make sure that the last line of the first paragraph is justified just like all the surrounding lines, so, in the pdf output one couldn't tell that this is actually the end of a paragraph. so, How can I force the last line to be justified as well? In order to see the reason for my question, consider the following example: \setupwhitespace[big] \setupalign[line] \starttext \dorecurse{3}{\input knuth\par} \placefigure[right][fig:test1]{Basically just a bit of empty space.} {\framed[width=0.5\textwidth,height=0.4\textheight,offset=none]{Test}} {\input tufte\par} \stoptext The first couple of lines of the paragraph beginning on page two should really go on the previous page. Since the hang mechanism of \placefigure doesn't work due to the page break, I'd like to split this paragraph into two logical entities, so TeX can put the first on the first page and treat the second as a separate paragraph flowing around the picture. However, the reader should not be aware of this split. Any help much appreciated, Elias

Hello Daniel. Malfunction your code was caused by two things: 1. CSV file contains TeX problematic characters (eg underscore_ which is used only in math mode) - should therefore be set catcodes. Correction is for example here: \def\lineaction{ \catcode`\_=12 \catcode`\%=12 \catcode`\&=12 \catcode`\@=12 % etc... \expanded{ \bTD\ssxx\Name, \Vorname, \Titel, \Bezeichnung \eTD \bTD\ssxx\Mail \eTD \bTD\ssxx\Raum \eTD \bTD\ssxx\Telefon \eTD} } 2. A simple parser that I wrote not process general CSV files (it not allow some items were in quotation marks and not others. That is, if you use within the field delimiter, must be ALL ITEMS quoted!) I modified the lines 16 and 198 your CSV table, which contained a single delimiter in quotes (instead of a semicolon delimiter, I used a comma) I change 16. line from: Bialluch;Kathrin;;Lehrbeauftragte;"KathrinBialluch(a)web.de; Kathrin.Bialluch(a)stimme-dortmund.de";; to line: Bialluch;Kathrin;;Lehrbeauftragte;KathrinBialluch(a)web.de, Kathrin.Bialluch(a)stimme-dortmund.de;; and on 198 line I made the same correction ... (library interpreting more columns ...) 3. I modified the code so that the tables, the tables are split at page breaks. eg: \def\bfilehook{\setupTABLE[split=yes]\bTABLE} Will now compile properly. I hope that everything will be OK ... To Your address I am sending corrected files (as attachment) ..., to conference I am sending only plain text... Rejoice in my library, I hope they will serve well ...

urgent help needed (registers)
by Steffen Wolfrum 27 Sep '10

27 Sep '10

Hi, I need to shape a index register as shown in this sample page: http://werksatz.com/attachments/index_sample.pdf -> the entries should be like \hangafter=1\hangindent=10pt\parindent0pt -> also the subentries (like in itemize: the "-" stands out) -> and the indicator should be the first character bold of the first entry with that letter (better see the example, it's hard to describe :-) How can this be done in MkIV?? Thank you very much, Steffen

compound titles, lists and headers
by Henning Hraban Ramm 26 Sep '10

26 Sep '10

Dear list, my publisher forces me to set different things as titles, in headers and table of contents. In some cases \nolist and \nomarking aren't enough. here are my actual definitions: ---- \def\Untertitel#1{\blank[3pt]{\ss\bf #1}\blank} % ok \def\Titel#1#2{{\nohyphens\chapter{#1}\Untertitel{#2}}} % ok \def\KomplexTitel#1#2#3{{\writetolist[chapter]{#3}\nohyphens\title{#1}\U ntertitel{#2}}} ---- with ---- \start \setupheadertexts[][manual entry][part][] % normally defined as [][chapter][part][] \KomplexTitel{Main chapter title}{chapter subtitle}{toc entry} Much text \stop % of other headertext ---- Real life example: \start \setupheadertexts [][Vorwort][][] \KomplexTitel{Die neutrale Schweiz und das globale Dorf}% {Vorwort von Prof.|~|Dr.|~|Heinrich Ott}% {Vorwort Prof.|~|Dr.|~|Heinrich Ott:\\Die neutrale Schweiz und das globale Dorf} ... Now there stay two issues: 1. I'd like to get a four-parameter command that can set the header text also. 2. I must get a line feed into the toc, but neither \\ nor \crlf works. Please help! Thanks.

I would be interested in that as well. However, a very relevant question would be - how to get unbiased results? (I guess there is quite some correlation between being active mailing list user and being MKIV user, apart from the fact that a newbie might simply type the command "context" without ever realizing the difference between MKII and MKIV.) Mojca PS: if we do make a Survey, I would prefer any free tool that's better in creating surveys (as opposed to "change the number on wiki by one").

new beta
by Hans Hagen 25 Sep '10

25 Sep '10

Hi, I'm dealing with the bugs/anomalies/wishes that showed up during the ctx conference. The following has been done so far: (1) With respect to registers, Jano had a wish to deal with mixed language indexes. As a result the current sorting code has been adapted. In the process also different control over sorting has been streamlined and this is controlled by the method variable. Also, the language related sorting definitions have changed. % tricky-002.tex: \setuplayout[topspace=1cm,height=middle] \setupbodyfont[dejavu,11pt] \starttext \subject{before : Oo Öo oo öo} \placeregister[index][language=en,method=before] \par \subject{after : oo öo Oo Öo} \placeregister[index][language=en,method=after] \par \subject{first : Oo oo Öo öo} \placeregister[index][language=en,method=last] \par \subject{last : oo Oo öo Öo} \placeregister[index][language=en,method=first] \par \dorecurse {3} { \page \recurselevel: \index{boo} \index{Boo} \index{BOo} \index{bOo} \index{bõö} \index{bõo} \index{boö} \index{oo} \index{öo} \index{Oo} \index{Öo} done } \stoptext We can set up a default method for each language but that has not yet been done. (2) Mari uses the prefix mechanism for references and that had not yet been implemented. The new beta does some but it needs testing. Also, I'd like to change a bit to the logic (esp related to more structured coding i.e. \startchapter .. \stopchapter and fallbacks but that will happen later). For the moment 'get it running as per mkii' is good enough. As cross referencing info is stored quite differently this is somewhat tricky.

Re: [NTG-context] new beta

Hello Hans, thank you for implementing multilingual indexing. Is there a way to turn off case sensitivity? I would expect the result as written in the minimal example below. This is not wanted in every case (should be a switch). The "Oo oo Öo öo" part is probably tricky then, so I've sorted it as usual with xindy plus my custom module and I've got oá öb Oč Öď Oo oo Öo öo Öq öř Oš oů so the "Oo, oo, Öo, öo" part could probably depend on available methods (before, after, last, first). In practice, one hardly gets same lettering with the different accents. Thank you, Jano % tricky-003.tex: \setuplayout[topspace=1cm,height=middle] \setupbodyfont[11pt] \starttext wanted result: \blank oá öb Oč Öď Oo Öo oo öo Öq öř Oš oů \subject{before : Oo Öo oo öo} \placeregister[index][language=en,method=before] \par \subject{after : oo öo Oo Öo} \placeregister[index][language=en,method=after] \par \subject{first : Oo oo Öo öo} \placeregister[index][language=en,method=last] \par \subject{last : oo Oo öo Öo} \placeregister[index][language=en,method=first] \par \dorecurse {3} { \page \recurselevel: \index{oá} \index{öb} \index{Oč} \index{Öď} \index{oo} \index{öo} \index{Oo} \index{Öo} \index{Öq} \index{öř} \index{Oš} \index{oů} done } \stoptext

Second try. I use a structure like \startproduct prd_JournalVolume \component c_A.tex \component c_B.tex \stopproduct to produce a single PDF file for the volume of a journal. Is there a way in MKII to adapt this so that instead of a single JournalVolume.pdf, I get c_A.pdf c_B.pdf where each component PDF file has the proper pagination as well as functioning external and internal hyperlinks?

24 Sep '10

Dear all, I tried to change the output format of \date so that the day includes the letter suffixes as superscript. \definefontfeature[sups][sups=yes,script=latn] \usetypescript[antykwa-torunska] \setupbodyfont[antykwa,12pt] \starttext \date[][day,{\setff{sups}th},~,month,year] \stoptext I get the following error. <inserted text> \inaccessible <to be read again> { <argument> \unskip {\edef { sups}\attribute \zerocount 18\relax th}\hskip \da... \p!compareprocessaction ...commalistelement {#3}#2 \fi \fi \next2 #1,->\p!doprocessaction {#1} \doprocesscommaitem \processnextcommalist ...odoprocesscommaitem #4#5, ]\relax \global \advance \... ... l.14 \date[][day,{\setff{sups}th},~,month,year] BTW the output looks fine in spite of the error message. Using superscripts in this way does not cause errors: 57{\setff{sups}th} or \date[][day,$^{\mr th}$,~,month,year] What is going wrong here? Thanks! Florian

New beta 2010-09-22 and xits fonts
by Otared Kavian 24 Sep '10

24 Sep '10

Dear Hans, dear Khaled, It seems that the xits fonts does not work anymore with the recent versions (at least since 2010-09-18): the integral signs are not properly scaled and the square root behaves strangely: minimal example below (and the resulting PDF, with ConTeXt ver: 2010.09.22 12:33 MKIV fmt: 2010.9.22 int: english/english, on Mac OS X 10.6.3): Best regards: OK %%% begin bug-xits-sqrt.tex \setupbodyfont[xits] \starttext Note that $\int_{0}^{2\pi} \sin(x)dx = 0$, while \startformula \int_{0}^{2\pi} \sin^2(x)dx = \pi \qquad \mbox{and}\qquad \sqrt{4}= 2. \stopformula \stoptext %%% end bug-xits-sqrt.tex

$TEXINPUT worries
by Rolf Marvin Bøe Lindgren 24 Sep '10

24 Sep '10

It seems that the commands context and texexec cause ConTeXt to look in different paths. I haven't been able to see any patterh here. "context" sees some files that "texexec" doesn't, and vice versa. I currently use TeXLive 2010, but TeXLive 2009 displays the same behavior. Any and all help appreciated. -- Rolf Marvin Bøe Lindgren http://www.grendel.no/ http://www.elvetun.no/ +47 40061755

export
by Hans Hagen 23 Sep '10

23 Sep '10

Hi, For those who were not at the ctx conference (where it was demonstrated) .. there is a new feature. When you say: \setupbackeds[export=yes] You will also get a file called <jobname>.export which represents the document in xml format. You can postprocess such an export to for instance html. It's still somewhat experimental but also fun.

Wikifying: footnotes in margin - two questions
by Elias Oltmanns 23 Sep '10

23 Sep '10

Hi all, when Hans introduced the criterium option to \setupnote in recent betas of MkIV, he asked me to wikify the problem of typesetting footnotes in the margin in order to demonstrate the usage of that option. There are, however, two questions I'd like to settle first. For one thing, the new algorithm is still error prone as I can provide examples where it fails. What is the preferred way to point out such a problem (in the wiki or whereever), so it will be delt with eventually? Secondly, can someone please explain to me why the example below produces so strikingly different results when processed with MkII or MkIV? In particular, I'd like to know why the footnote numbers are placed differently and, unless this is due to a bug, how to mimic the MkII behaviour in MkIV. Thanks in advance, Elias \setuplayout[backspace=6cm,width=middle,rightmarginwidth=4cm, rightmargindistance=5mm] \doifelse{MKIV}{\contextmark}{ \setupnote[footnote][location=text,criterium=page, before=,rule=off]}{ \setupnote[footnote][factor=0,before=,rule=off, width=\rightmarginwidth]} \setuptexttexts[margin][][ \vbox to \textheight {\vfill\placenotes[footnote]}] \starttext \showframe \dorecurse{12}{A little more test\footnote{Note the alignment of consecutive lines.} text in order to achieve a certain filling of the page. } \stoptext

A rose by any other name ....
by Aditya Mahajan 23 Sep '10

Hi, Is it possible to change the name of the font as it appears in the pdf file? More specifically, I am using Termes font, but I want that the document properties to show the name of the font as Times. Is that possible? Is doing so a violation of the font license? Aditya

Lua:mplib
by Procházka Lukáš 23 Sep '10

23 Sep '10

Hello, I'm looking for some stuff about calling MP from ConTeXt Lua. The only thing I found is a short reference at http://www.luatex.org/svn/trunk/manual/luatexref-t.pdf, but even when I read some basics (pages 79-83), I don't even know how to draw a line between two points. So I'd like to find a tutorial or examples or a deeper reference about how to call MP via Lua from ConTeXt. - Any idea? Cheers, Lukas

Context to MP
by Procházka Lukáš 23 Sep '10

23 Sep '10

Hello, I'd like to ask - - where could I find a list of variables which (Con)TeX(t) defines to MetaPost scope? When I browsed the Hans' presentations, I encountered "PaperWidth", "PaperHeight", "Page" etc. (see e.g. "s-pre-22.tex"). I didn't find them mentioned/explained in any manual (especially: in "mpman.pdf", tab. 5 on pg. 71, there is a list of MP internal variables). So where I could find them with a short description?
