Centered framed text in two columns
by Flavien Lambert 01 Sep '10

01 Sep '10

Dear All, I would like to vertically center a framed text in front of an item list, something like : - item - item - item my framed text - item - item I tried with two columns then by defining a paragraph but without success. I would also like the columns to have a fixed width like 70%-30% of the textwidth. Any hint ? Thanks in advance, -- Flavien. ---------------------------- "Quantum objects are completely crazy but, at least, they are all crazy in the same way." R.P. Feynman.

Migrations: exactly LaTeX margins --> ConTeXt margins

Hi, I want to "migrate" one LaTeX document to ConTeXt document. I only want to put the _exact_ margins LaTeX use for \documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}. Anyone could say me the exact values I have to put in **layout**? Thanks, Xan.

definedelimitedtext options

Hi, Another time ;-) I have \definedelimitedtext [abstract] [leftmargin=yes, spacebefore=line, style={\switchtobodyfont[9pt]},after=\normal] and I want to indent more the abstract. What are the options of definedelimitedtext? In the manual there is no mention for that. Is there any way of doing the same as \startnarrower[2*middle,3*middle]? Thanks in advance, Xan.

mkiv and Reverse list of abbreviations
by Otared Kavian 31 Aug '10

31 Aug '10

Hi everyone, I have three questions regarding the use of abbreviations in mkiv: it seems that there is a difference between the way in which mkii and mkiv treat the definitions of synonyms. If one considers the minimal example: % ----- begin abbrev-test.tex \definesynonyms[abbreviation][abbreviations][\infull][\inshort] \starttext \abbreviation{LCTVS}{Locally Convex Topological Vector Space} \abbreviation{EEG} {Electroencephalogram} \abbreviation{ERP} {Event-Related Potentials} \abbreviation{TVS}{Topological Vector Space} Test inshort: \inshort{EEG}, \inshort{ERP}, \inshort{TVS}, Test infull: \infull{EEG}, \infull{ERP}, \infull{TVS}, \infull{LCTVS} \completelistofabbreviations \stoptext % ----- end abbrev-test.tex my questions are the following: 1) How can I tell mkiv that I want \infull{EEG} result in Electroencephalogram not in "ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAM"? 2) It seems that the order in which \infull and \inshort are defined in \definesynonyms[abbreviation][abbreviations][\infull][\inshort] is different in mkii and in mkiv: is this observation correct? 3) Is it possible to obtain, beside the list of abbreviations, another ordered list in which the full variant is in the first column while the short variant is in the second column? That is something like: \completeReverseListOfAbbreviations resulting in Electroencephalogram EEG Event-Related Potentials ERP Locally Convex Topological Vector Space LCTVS Topological Vector Space TVS Thanks in advance for any help or insight.

Several iterations of MK2 ago (in 2007), I was able to produce: 1. History 1.1 Pre-Greek (Babylonian and Egyptian) sundials 1.2 Greek and Roman sundials 1.3 Byzantine sundials 2.

questions regarding `\date`
by Paul Menzel 31 Aug '10

31 Aug '10

Dear ConTeXt folks, I have four questions regarding `\date`. I looked at the page in the Wiki [1], in the ConTeXt user manual on page 159 [2][3] and tried some things, but could not figure it out. I am using Debian Sid/unstable and I am a total beginner regarding ConTeXt. 0. I guess the first question is, if `\date` is supposed to be used inside a text anyway or just when for example setting the title page. 1. No space is inserted after using `\date[…]`. text \date[d=29,m=8,y=2099] text result: text 29. August 2099text Is that intentional? A slash after the command fixes it. text \date[d=29,m=8,y=2099]\ text 2. I do not want that one digit months have the zero displayed. But using `m` acts as using `month`. \date[d=29,m=8,y=2099][d,.\,,m] result: 29. August 3. Spacing between numbers. Using LaTeX there were some suggestions to typeset a date using small spaces like `29.\,8.\,2010`. I guess this depends on the fonts used and personal taste? If there is a rule, maybe that could be added to the typesetting chapter in the user manual. Thanks, Paul [1] http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Reference/en/date [2] http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/cont-eni.pdf [3] http://foundry.supelec.fr/gf/project/contextman/scmsvn/?action=browse&path=…

parsing custom syntax in lua
by Vianney le Clément 31 Aug '10

31 Aug '10

Hello, What is the best way to pass verbatim text to lua for processing? I would like to write a lua parser for non-TeX text with a custom syntax (could be something like Markdown for instance). The interface would be \startMyFormat % custom syntax % \stopMyFormat \processMyFormatfile[external file.custom] % alternative The text between \startMyFormat and \stopMyFormat or the text read from the external file should be passed as one utf8-encoded string to a lua function. Any ideas on how to write these macros? On a side note, does anyone know of a quick way to strip diacritical marks from utf8-encoded strings in lua (i.e., transform them to pure ascii)? Thanks, Vianney

[PATCH] small corrections for the ConTeXt-correspondence manual

31 Aug '10

Dear ConTeXt folks, this is my first post and I am looking forward to get more acquainted with ConTeXt. I read the ConTeXt-correspondence manual (module letter [1]) and attached you will find some formal fixes for the source files gotten from [2]. If I should sent each patch as a separate message, please tell me. I was not able to get a PDF created with my Debian Sid/unstable system, so I could not test my changes. $ texexec correspondence.tex […] ! Undefined control sequence. l.139 \doifolderversionelse \contextversion{\currentmoduleparameter\c!context... I hope this is the right way to contact the authors and to submit the patches. If not, please tell me the preferred way. As a last remark, I would really love to see the sources and documentation of modules under SCM so contributing would be easier. There are some free services for free software projects as for example Gitorious [3].

framed text over multiple pages
by Mojca Miklavec 30 Aug '10

Dear list, I'm trying to find the command (in manual, wiki or mailing list) that enables using background behind text spanning over multiple pages. At the moment I have \startframedtext [width=\textwidth, background=color, backgroundcolor=mycolor1, frame=off, leftframe=on, framecolor=mycolor2] but I remember that there used to be a command that allowed doing the same, but spanning the text over multiple pages. I would be grateful for any hint/pointer to the manual. I've found a document that does underlining of words in paragraphs, but this seems like an easier problem anyway. Thank you very much, Mojca

problem with the removing of glue node in scrp-cjk.lua

\bf disturbs flowing of text around image
by Martin Althoff 29 Aug '10

In the example below (just updated minimals too) the \bf in the second paragraph prevents the text flowing around the picture, the text runs over the picture. Take \bf out and all is fine. If I use an \input statement instead of the lorem text the effect does not show. The image name is deliberate -- it does not exist on my system. What's going on? How to cause the text to flow around again?

Making a feedback form

I want to make a feedback form with ConTeXt. I hoped that there would be templates for this, but I did not find any. Are there no templates, or did I not look good? -- Cecil Westerhof

creating own hyperlinks in bibliography
by Mojca Miklavec 29 Aug '10

29 Aug '10

Dear Taco, I would like to add some additional fields to bibliography. I know that I have already asked the same question twice (for url and doi) and each time it has been built into the core functionality, while my current request is "too local" to do that. I would like to have \newbibfield[cobissid] \startpublication [...] ... \cobissid{70615} \stoppublication and then I would modify \setuppublicationlayout[book] to transform the number written above into "cobiss.si-id: 70615" pointing to the following URL: http://www.cobiss.si/scripts/cobiss?command=DISPLAY&base=cobib&rid=70615&la… That is very similar to what DOI does at the moment, but while DOI is quite international, COBISS ID is really local, but it is *the* system used in the whole country. Is there any simple & safe way to achieve that? Thank you very much, Mojca

Fwd: Re: problem with mpost/metafun/MKII/MKIV???

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [NTG-context] problem with mpost/metafun/MKII/MKIV??? Date: Sun, 29 Aug 2010 11:04:28 +0000 From: Rene van Hassel <r.hassel1(a)chello.nl> To: Taco Hoekwater <taco(a)elvenkind.com> Hello Taco, sorry, but I will tell you my resulst so far. After installing Texlive 2009, and I put the directory of texlive open for writing as usr, so chmod 777 /usr/local/texlive, I followed all kind of suggestions on the page of ConTeXt-garden, such as the generation of luatools and go so on. I also put your suggestion in the texmf.conf file of version 2009, and I put the paths to the new texlive version into the .profile file. It took very long time before the file was "compiled" completely, much longer as before, with texlive version 2007. But I got my "decorations" back. I have only the idea that is worked with MKII and not with MKIV, I have no idea if this is in the line of the development of ConTeXt? Has MKIV to be used or MKII? If I do as user which pdflatex and so on I get answers back with /usr/local/texlive/2009.. , so I have the idea that texlive 2009 is used. The following command: texexec --version gives: /usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/scripts/context/ruby/base/system.rb:16: warning: Insecure world writable dir /usr/local/texlive/2009/bin/i386-linux in PATH, mode 040777 TeXExec | version 6.2.1 - 1997-2009 - PRAGMA ADE/POD I don't like that "insecure world writable", but oke for the moment being. There is also used, much space of the hard-disk in the home directory. I think that I will not try to do this at my ASUS eee PC, with the 16Gb SDD! The operating system is almost (4/3)times what is was. (Two texlive systems.) I not really trust it, but oke for this moment, greetings, Rene'

extra blank page in front of standardmakeup

Dear list, how can I prevent a blank page in front of title page in MKIV (apart from the fact that font switching is not working)? In MKII this is working perfectly fine. \starttext \startstandardmakeup {\switchtobodyfont[50pt]\bf\centerline{Title}} \vskip 3cm {\switchtobodyfont[20pt]\centerline{\sl(manual)}} % \sl doesn't work either \stopstandardmakeup bla \stoptext Thank you very much, Mojca (a proud user of MKII :) :) :)

problem with mpost/metafun/MKII/MKIV???
by Rene van Hassel 29 Aug '10

29 Aug '10

Hello Members, I have a problem with texlive 2009. In the version 2007, I made some file with "decorations", made by metapost.Then you got a list of numbered -mpgraph files. In the version 2009, I don't getns these files and my .pdf files are without the "decorations". With "decorations" I mean blocks around pieces of text, witin a lecture note. Also the first page is white, till it was first green with some figures on it. While texexec works, I see mpgraph files but only numbered by .1, in the 2007 version it started by 4000 and it went to almost 3650. I see also that there is made use of MKIV instead of MKII in the 2007 version. What to do such that the 2009 version, gives the same result as the 2007 version. I installed the 2009 version of the TUG side with tlmgr and almost everything of texlive is installed. Only most of the languages are not installed, further everything, greetings, Rene'

Hi, I just want to simulate the behaviour of \usepackage{enumerate} ... \begin{enumerate}[(i)] \item \end{enumerate} in ConTeXt. That is: - items in (i), (ii), .... - right indentation of items: in context items start at the same point. In LaTeX is the item text itself who starts at the same point, not the romans. Can anyone help me? Thanks, Xan. PS: Please CCme.

ConTeXt Minimals and TEXMFCACHE
by Nicola 28 Aug '10

28 Aug '10

Hi, according to the wiki “ConTeXt minimals does not touch anything outside its installation folder”, but if TEXMFCACHE is not set by setuptex, actually many files may be written outside the ConTeXt minimals folder, and (as in my case) they may conflict with the files written by ConTeXt from TeX Live in the same cache folder. Is there any reason why exporting TEXMFCACHE is commented out in setuptex? Nicola

table row span question

I am having trouble working out a solution for spanning some rows of tables. The instructions at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Table got me so far as the example shows. The example is a timetable excerpt. So I want horizontal lines everywhere, except on Mo, Di, Mi (Monday Tuesday Wednesday) where there are double periods. Adding any more \DLs or \VLs results in not being able to translate the file or other errors. Currently the horizontal lines are not where they should be (now on Mo, Mi, Fr) but kind of evenly spread. Lastly: How do I control row height? thanks!

Porting from MkII to MkIV
by Peter Schorsch 26 Aug '10

26 Aug '10

Hi, I started to write under MkII a module to number and reference each paragraph. I got it to work but it was not well done. Now I want to finish and clean it to upload it on contextgarden for all. But I am stucking at the port to MkIV. (Reduced MkII Version): \definenumber[paraNumber] \setuphead[chapter,section,subsection,subsubsection] [after={\resetnumber[paraNumber]}] \def\StartPara[#1]% {\getparameters[tmp][heading=,mark=,#1]% \incrementnumber[paraNumber]% \inothermargin{\tfx\getnumber[paraNumber]~}% \doifnot{\tmpheading}{}{\inmargin{\tmpheading}}% \doifnot{\tmpmark}{}{\expanded{\textreference[\tmpmark]{XXX /\getnumber[paraNumber]}}}% } \def\StopPara% {\blank[medium]} \starttext \chapter{Alter novom} \StartPara[heading={lorem ipsum},mark=test] Lorem ipsum ... \StopPara \StartPara Lorem ipsum \in[test] \StopPara \stoptext XXX stands for an already ported part that works. I have two problems I do not know how to solve: - the line starting with inothermargin gives back in mkii always the correct number form: n (always latin numbers). In mkiv it gives back m.n. Also in mkiv: inside bodymatter the numbers are latin number e.g. 1.2 and inside appendecies latin letters and numbers, e.g. A.II. What needs to be change in my module to get the old mkii behavior back? - There must be a problem in the last line: as soon I use my mark option I get following error: ! Use of \dovspacingyes doesn't match its definition. \doifnextoptionalelse ...\nextoptionalcommandyes { #1}\def \nextoptionalcomma... <argument> ...ference [\tmpmark ]{XXX /\getnumber [paraNumber]} \expanded ...\long \xdef \@@expanded {\noexpand #1 }\@@expanded l.18 \StartPara[mark=test] Does anyone know how to solve/port this to mkiv?
