Fwd: Re: Math setup with Times (Termes)
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 12 Nov '09

Hello dear Mojca, Let me mention one thing, while it is not too late ) I use not Termes, but standard Window Times New Roman. And I'd prefer italic latin letters to be taken from it, not from Termes. My working typescript: \starttypescript [serif] [TimesNR] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [times.ttf] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [timesbd.ttf] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [timesbi.ttf] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [timesi.ttf] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SerifSlanted] [timesi.ttf] [features=default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [math][TimesNR][all] \definefontsynonym[MathRoman][txmath@tx-math] \loadmapfile[original-youngryu-tx.map] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [TimesNR] \definetypeface [TimesNR] [rm] [serif] [TimesNR] [default] \definetypeface [TimesNR] [mm] [math] [TimesNR] [default] \stoptypescript \setupmathematics[lcgreek=normal, ucgreek=normal] \usetypescript[TimesNR] \setupbodyfontenvironment [11pt] [x=10pt] \setupbodyfont[TimesNR, 11pt]

That's why I mentioned that it might be nice to have "italic" and "roman" as names in math typescripts (math-vfu.lua) for exactly such cases. Mojca

"lc" stands for lowercase and "uc" for uppercase. Best wishes, Vyatcheslav

local footnote (Tables) problem
by Bowen Alan C. 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

I am having a problem placing local footnotes in a table using\placelegend. The attached file will compile only if I comment out (a) header=2pc in \setuplayout or (b) \setupbodyfont[lmodern,rm,10.5pt] or (c) \placelegend or (d) \dorecurse{3}{\input knuth} I am stumped as to why this should be so. There is obviously something that I am just not seeing. I am running MK2 using the latest beta in the ConTeXt Minimals. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Alan

Hello, I could miss the point, but if the problem is in the map file (original-youngryu-tx.map), we can contact its creator: http://www.utdallas.edu/~ryoung/ Or it is mkiv core files that need to be fixed? And as a suggestion: it would be very handy to have a command like \setupmathematics[lcroman=italic, ucroman=italic] Regards, Vyatcheslav

Define tex macro on the context command line

Hi, Is it possible to define a tex macro on the context command line (MkII)? For example: texexec manual.tex --define Title "X99 Operators Manual" so that \Title would expand to the appropriate text? (I know about modes I think) -- John Devereux

gtamac symbols and mkiv
by Jörg Hagmann 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

I have been using symbols (such as "Fleuron") from the gtamacfonts in an annual publication. Trying to change to mkiv: what exactly should I do to install them? So far, my attempts were not successful. (Attempts meaning: copying the tt fonts and the type- and other files that seem to have anything to do with it into my minimal installation, reloading the fonts and remaking the formats). Thanks, Jörg

Re: [NTG-context] \setupmathematics[lcgreek=normal] problem with default font
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 11 Nov '09

11 Nov '09

Hello friends, I look at the conversations on the list and begin feeling scared. I have a serious project with very tough deadline and heavy use of math. Our publishing department reject everything that does not meet their standards. Initially, I relied upon to possibilities: a) use standard LM fonts, but with upright greek b) use Times (Termes) letters for math, but with italized Latin Never thought that either could ever be a serious problem. Does anybody control the situation? Or my hopes are delusive and my project doomed? P.S. This is really sad, no whimpering :( Regards, Vyatcheslav

Imposition plus indenting causes pages to be offset
by John Deeny 10 Nov '09

10 Nov '09

I am trying to set up the environment for a booklet, but I am having trouble using indenting with imposition. The pages are shifted to the right on the larger sheet by the indenting amount. Increasing the amount of the indent will make cause the pages to shift farther to the right. A test case is shown below. If I remove the line marked as "Error" in the code below, the pages are imposed correctly. I am new to ConTeXt, so I may be doing something silly here. Any suggestions? Thanks, John \showframe \setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape] \setuparranging[2UP] \setuplayout[location=middle,width=fit] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \setupindenting[yes,medium] %%%%% Error, shifts A5 pages right \starttext \dorecurse{6}{\input knuth} \stoptext

mkiv: missing \colon, \colonequals is just an equality sign

It seems that \colon is missing and \colonequals is mapped to the wrong symbol in the latest mkiv (I'm using the minimals). A minimal example: \starttext \startitemize \item $\colon$ \item $\colonequals$ \stopitemize \stoptext No colon is generated from the first command (in fact, nothing at all appears), and the $\colonequals$ produces an equality sign, not a ":=".

Itemize withing description
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 09 Nov '09

09 Nov '09

Hello, Another tricky question. I have "Review Questions" at the end of each section. There are only questions inside, and they are enumerated. I felt natural to implement it as description. Going further, I added \startitemize and \stopitemize inside the description definition. Then my code looks neatly, but one annoying problem persist. Whatever I do, I cannot get blank space between description caption (text) and the items. I manage to have it before the block, after it, but not inbetween. Here is my minimal example that shows clearly that big skip disappears (there is a problem with indenting too, but that's another problem): \setupitemize[each][1,packed,nowhite,text] \definedescription[reviewquestions][location=serried, text={Review questions}, before={\blank[small]\startitemize}, inbetween={\blank[big]}, after={\stopitemize\blank[small]}] \starttext The section ends here. \startreviewquestions \item Question 1 \item Question 2 \item Question 3 \stopreviewquestions The next section starts here. \stoptext Best regards, Vyatcheslav

Adding small caps font to Xserif definition
by Roland 08 Nov '09

08 Nov '09

Hi all, I'm typesetting a book with ConTeXt and XeTeX (LuaTex has been choking on some statements and I didn't find the time to debug it). I've gotten XeTeX to find Mac fonts through the simple Xserif definition, but now I want to add a dedicated small caps font. I've been checking out lots of typescripts documentation but I get discouraged by their levels of complexity - I'm sure they're very powerful but all the documentation out there still doesn't tell me what all the different lines actually do and why there have to be so many of them... My minimal test script is as follows: \enableregime[utf] \setupcapitals[title=no,sc=no] \definetypeface[ecolayout][rm][Xserif][EconomistTT] \setupbodyfont[ecolayout, 11pt] \starttext Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, {\sc consectetur adipisicing elit}, \cap{sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt} \stoptext This shows everything in EconomistTT, with the "consectetur" part in normal sentence case and the "sed do..." part in simulated small caps. I can also print everything up to sed... in real small caps by adding \definetypeface[ecolayout][sc][Xserif][EconomistTTSC] (which I guess is equivalent to just replacing "EconomistTT" with "EconomistTTSC" in the test script above.

wrapping urls

Hello guys, I'm having problems with wrapping of URLs. It seems whatever I do the URLs overflow into the margin, this is especially noticeable when I use two columns on a single page. In case it helps, I have the following setup (ignore the commented lines); \setupinterlinespace[small,auto] \setuptolerance[verytolerant, stretch] ... %\setupalign[nothyphenated] \setupalign[hyphenated] %\setupurl[space=yes,style=\ss,urlalternative=] %none both before after \setupurl[style=normal] ... \from[author-website] %this overflows. Is it possible to how someone force wrapping, even if the text looks awful?

page break before box
by Jörg Hagmann 06 Nov '09

06 Nov '09

Sometimes I get page breaks before a box as follows (didn't manage to write a minimal example): Some text on the page (even one line only) <page break, leaving most of the page empty> A small box (much smaller than the empty space on the preceding page) \page[no] and \dontleavehmode don't do anything. Example for a box: \definestartstop[Point][before={\setupbackground[background=color,backgroundcolor=lightgray, frame=on,framecolor=red,topoffset=0.25cm,bottomoffset=0.25cm,leftoffset=0.5cm,rightoffset=0.5cm, before={\blank[big]}]\startbackground},after=\stopbackground] Something simple, surely?

Hi there, Reading the wiki I saw that \index{keyword}keyword should be used rather than keyword\index{keyword}. How should I proceed for names? For example \defineregister[person][people] Albert \person{Einstein, Albert}Einstein vs. \index{Einstein, Albert}Albert Einstein What happens in either case? Oliver

Tracking macro expansion
by Oliver Buerschaper 06 Nov '09

06 Nov '09

Dear all, how can I check whether a macro I defined is actually expanded into what I intended? For example, if I define \define[2]\Test{#2, {\it #1}} is there a (Lua?) function like check(\Test{Hello}{world}, string) that would return true for string = "world, {\it Hello}" and false otherwise? If the macro is a bit more complicated than this I usually get caught by a mistake rather quickly ... so a quick check would be very handy for me. Many thanks for your help, Oliver

Usage of filename in document
by Martin Scholz 06 Nov '09

06 Nov '09

Hi List, is there a way in conTeXt how I can use a filename, so that I can write a text where I can refer to it for using it in the following scenario: I need 4 documents with nearly the same content. what I like to do is to switch in the document depending on the called filename. as I got a file called invoice.tex and create some links to this file called delivery.tex order.tex and so on and now call texexec invoice.tex or texexec order.tex I want the document to recognize in the first case that it is invoice and in the second case that it is order, so that I can use an if then else environment on the different parts where I can define the following if{filename==invoice} then{print this content} else{} if{filename==order} then{print this part of content} else{} Thanks for your help. Greetings Martin

Allow indentation of typing environments
by Matthijs Kooijman 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

Hi all, I'm having the following problem (or rather, inconvenience). When typing my ConTeX, I tend to properly indent all of my text, following the section headings. This makes my source a bit more readable. However, when I apply the same tactic to typing environments, all of the indentation is preserved in the output. This is of course to be expected, but it requires me to break the indentation for every typing environment, making very ugly source. Anyone else who also finds this problematic? What I'd like to see, is an option for a typing environment (say, stripindent) that makes the pretty printing code remove a fixed amount of indentation from every line. I've implemented this for some of my custom prettyprinters, but that's a lot of duplicate code, and it won't help others. Ideally, this would look at the indent of the \starttyping command and strip that much, but I don't think this is possible in TeX (or is it?) Slightly less ideal would be to look at all the lines, decide what the smallest indent is, and strip that. This would of course require buffering all the lines and start processing only when the final one is in, which is not very efficient given the current pretty printer implementation. What will probably work well enough is to look at the first line, and strip that much whitespace from all lines. This could be implemented entirely in lua. Would there be any interest for something like this? I could whip up a patch if there is. Where would be the logical place to do this? I don't see any need to let individiual pretty printers keep control over this, so I guess it is best handled before the pretty printers get at the line (So in buffers.typeline, probably. I guess inline \type commands don't need this, so this should work out). This also needs some initialization in buffers.type and buffers.typefile so we can detect what the first line is. Ideally, there would also be some sort of manual override, like: \starttyping[stripindent=4] but, I don't think any options are supported there currently (and adding them is very much over my head, since that would involve serious TeX coding...). To reach a conclusion, if I managed to implement this properly, would there be any interest for using this and including this in ConTeXt? Gr. Matthijs

Getting the width of an expression inside lua
by Matthijs Kooijman 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

Hi all, I'm wondering if there is any way to get the width of some TeX (or rather, ConTeXt) expression inside lua, to do some math with it and output it again. I've found the tex macro \setwidthof, which served me well at first, but I need to do some more complex things with this widths (like taking the maximum value of a bunch of widths and using that again in some other places). Doing this in TeX would be my fallback option, but that would be a lot more complex (I'd be generating the TeX code for it, but still...). So, I'm looking for a function that accepts a string (and possible catcodes) and returns the dimensions of that string as if it would be rendered directly with tex.sprint & friends. I've looked around the LuaTex manual a bit, and found the node.dimensions function. However, that function requires a node object, which I have no clue how to get at. Perhaps I could use \setwidthof and get at the value it assigned? Any suggestions? Gr. Matthijs
