Hi community! Please run the attached sample file and see whether you get a correct index. In my case I only get the indicator letters and under each indicator a single letter with page number therafter. Do I miss something? I am running luatex ConTeXt ver: 2008.08.11 11:45 MKIV fmt: 2008.8.11 int: english/english Thanks Willi

Custom Section / Table of contents inside a table
by Demian Gutierrez 11 Aug '08

11 Aug '08

Hi folks, I'm making a document with a lot of tables. I have templates for all the kinds of tables, so authors only have to use the predefined macros to fill the tables. That is working pretty well, but I still have two little problems. The first one, is that some of the author filled fields in the tables should be part of the content table of the document, but in the filled table itself, they should still look as normal text. To do so, I have defined my own section, this way: \definehead[fieldNameSection][subsection] \setuphead[fieldNameSection][number=no, textstyle=\tfe] And made a table of contents: \definecombinedlist[content][fieldNameSection,myheader,subsection,subsubsection][textstyle=\tf] \setupcombinedlist [content][alternative=c,textstyle=\tf] So if I do: \fieldNameSection{Some Title} And then: \placecontent It works well and shows the entry in the table of contents. But when I do it inside the table macro definition, and then use the macro: \def\bCrudCampo{ \doifnothing{\getvariable{CrudCampo}{CrudCampo}} {\section{Descripción de Campos}} \setvariables[CrudCampo][CrudCampo=FLG] \bgroup \def\bNombreCampoGUI##1\eNombreCampoGUI{ \setvariables[CrudCampo][NombreCampoGUIVAL={##1}] \setvariables[CrudCampo][NombreCampoGUIFLG=FLG] } } \def\eCrudCampo{ \def\keyNombreCampoGUI{Nombre del Campo (GUI):} \setupTABLE[c][1][width=0.2\textwidth] \setupTABLE[c][2][width=0.8\textwidth] \bTABLE[frame=on] \bTR \bTD {\bf \keyNombreCampoGUI} \eTD \bTD % COMENTED ----------------------------------------------> % \doifelsenothing{\getvariable{CrudCampo}{NombreCampoGUIFLG}} % {\EMPTY}{\getvariable{CrudCampo}{NombreCampoGUIVAL}} % COMENTED ----------------------------------------------> \fieldNameSection{*\getvalue{CrudCampo:NombreCampoGUIVAL}*} \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \vskip2mm \egroup } So when I use the \fieldNameSection{*\getvalue{CrudCampo:NombreCampoGUIVAL}*} in the previous code I get nothing but an empty entry in the table of contents (well in fact with the "*" before and after I get just "**"). The entry is shown in the TOC, but I don't see the text, only the dots and the page number. It's like at some point the variable is empty at the moment of generating the table of contents or something like that. I really have not a clue about what I'm doing wrong... The second issue is that the previous commented code: \doifelsenothing{\getvariable{CrudCampo}{NombreCampoGUIFLG}} {\EMPTY}{\getvariable{CrudCampo}{NombreCampoGUIVAL}} Is the best way I've found so far to show an "EMPTY" in one of the table fields when the author forgets to fill a row when using the template. I've tried a lot of combinations of \setvariable, \setvalue, and several \doifSOMETHING, but at this point it only works if the author omits the \bNombreCampoGUI \eNombreCampoGUI pair, but if he puts the commands, but left the content empty, then I don't get "EMPTY" as result in the table and only got an empty string (nothing) and I would like to have the "EMPTY" in both cases. Also I don't like to use the variable NombreCampoGUIFLG, I think it's just a dirty trick, but is the only solution I found so far. Is there a better way to do the empty test there to achieve the desired behavior? Thanks in advance, for any opinion, suggestion, critics or help :-) Best Regards, Demián.

Hello again I'm experimenting with menus. I wish to get menu that are "section-sensitive" : in a section I wish a menu with all sections and only subsections of the current section (it hides the other subsections). I imagined that the criterium =xxxxx was the key but I don't get the desired result. Is there any documentation about this parameter ?

release
by Hans Hagen 10 Aug '08

10 Aug '08

Hi, We have a new release (unless severe problems show up, this release will stay for a while). If possible, the next release (oktober) will have an alternative vertical spacing (mkiv only) and a reimplmented sectioning/list/numbering mechanism (mkiv only). There are also new zips of mininmals and cdwincontext. These now match the minimals on the garden. Of course you're strongly advised to use the garden. Of course there will be the usual lot of betas.

Let's ignore it. The first problem, with the two periods after a book title, has been with me since at least last year. I can reproduce it with the following: [A] ConTeXt version.

Two bibliography problems
by Michael Green 09 Aug '08

09 Aug '08

This sort of bibliography entry gives me two kinds of trouble. @book{ODonovan:1999uv, Address = {Grand Rapids, Michigan}, Author = {O'Donovan, Joan Lockwood and O'Donovan, Oliver}, Publisher = {William B. Eerdmans}, Title = {From Irenaeus to Grotius: a sourcebook in Christian political thought, 100-1625}, Year = {1999}} (1) I get two periods after a book title when using \setuppublications [alternative=apa]. For this particular entry, here is what I get. O'Donovan, J. L. and O'Donovan, O. (1999). From Irenaeus to Grotius: a sourcebook in Christian political thought, 100-1625.. Grand Rapids, Michigan: William B. Eerdmans. This happens with all books. On looking at the source, I'm afraid I can't track down where it's coming from or how to fix it. (2) Is it possible to use smart quotes in citations? For instance, for this book, authored by O'Donovan, I can enter the appropriately curly character between O and D in my bibtex file. But it comes out straight in the final document. Thanks! Michael

MPpage and single PDFs
by Oliver Buerschaper 05 Aug '08

05 Aug '08

Dear wizards, I was wondering whether there's a way to have ConTeXt spill out each \startMPpage … \stopMPpage it encounters as a separate PDF file … by default all MPpages seem to be collected into a single PDF file. Which is nice as long as this file is postprocessed by another ConTeXt document … however, I need to extract the individual figures from within LaTeX. So if anyone happens to know how to instruct LaTeX's graphicx package to do just that this would be a lovely alternative :-) Oliver

Over the weekend I found a solution to my problem: Instead of handling punctuation within the \insertarttitle{}{}{} command I changed the BibTeX style file (cont-no.bst) to add the periods to those title entries that need it with the command add.period$. And those titles that end in "?" or "!" are properly handled by add.period$. Ernesto

I am do not know if here have been any changes in MKIV. Is there a fix for this in the works? I am about to publish a series of pages which will look vastly better if this is fixed. Alan

Dear ConTeXt experts, I have a question about bibliographic entries and I'm using ConTeXt bib module (which is really great!!). I have an article with a title that ends in a question mark. When the entry is typeset an additional period is placed at the end of the article via the \insertarttitle{ \bgroup``}{.'' \egroup}{} command. Is there an easy way to adjust the \insertarttitle command so that if the last character of the title entry in the bib-file is a punctuation character (say ! or ?), then we do not append a period? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Best regards, Ernesto

Hi, Why not submit cont-enp.pdf (ConTeXt the manual) to lulu? I do appreciate the hard work that's going into the documentation, but at some places the english doesn't flow that well. Out of curiosity how many people proof read the documentation before they're released? -- Thanks Mohamed Bana

Something goes wrong with this simple example: <--- snip ---> \definemathoverarrow [overrightarrow] [\rightarrowfill] \def\Ray#1{\overrightarrow{#1}} \starttext Hello world! $\Ray{ABC}$. \stoptext <--- snip ---> It leads to: !

Re: [NTG-context] mkii and xetex with tl2008: invalid fontname errors
by Mojca Miklavec 31 Jul '08

31 Jul '08

Taco: > ... does it actually work, and can you explain why? I don't get the "error" any more with that fix (and it's not an error anyway). The problem is that if there is no "file:" prefix in font synonyms, then ConTeXt asks for \font\whatever="texgyre-whatever:options" and XeTeX first asks fontconfig, font not there, and then asks kpathsea and kpathsea complains about "font not present". With minimals I don't get that complaint printed out. It used to complain in some other way some time ago, but let's forget that for a moment. Then, since ConTeXt figures out that font doesn't exist, it asks for \font\whatever="[texgyge-whatever]:options" and then XeTeX finds the font and ConTeXt uses it. There's a third iteration asking for a font without quotes, but I should check the exact order of those three attempts, and maybe attempt without quotes is not needed any more since Jonathan fixed the behaviour of quoted filenames to also look for kpathsea fonts, not only system fonts if I recall correctly. If there is "file:" prefix, the first iteration is skipped, so it's more efficient to load fonts. We have fixed that (added "file:" in front of names) in number of font definitions some time ago (most important being LM since it's really used each time when one compiles a XeTeX document), but those "palatino"/"times" synonyms were not fixed at the time of major changes for some reason (overseen, me being lazy, it worked anyway?, ... I don't quite remember). However, there is still "problem" with "+trep" (a missing/unneeded mapping, depends on how you treat it) in this font call: texgyrepagella-italic:+liga;+kern;mapping=tlig;+trep; trep and tlig both happened to map to tex-text some time ago. Then I asked Hans to optimize the behaviour a bit since some mappings of " and ` were really cruel and lead to inability to use grave accents at all. He removed some mappings, but left both tlig and trep there. In luatex, tlig does a mapping of -- and --- and trep does a mapping of apostrophe. In XeTeX +tlig option in "features=default" gets replaced by "mapping=tlig" which has all the three replacements (--, --- and ') font-ini.tex: \remapfontfeature tlig yes mapping=tlig while +trep is passed unmodified to xetex. So the behaviour is inconsistent in LuaTeX and XeTeX (no reason why it should be), but it just happens that nobody cares/complains. The second option would be useful if one really wanted to recall all the other TeX ligatures and replacements back (`, ``, ", >>, <<, `<, `> or whatever else is there), else I think that having two options is really not needed. tlig and trep used to have all the other old TeX replacements & ligatures there, but I asked Hans to remove most of them exactly for the reason mentioned above (grave accents were gone). XeTeX just happens not to complain about "+trep", but that "+trep" should be removed one day. Maybe just font-ini.tex: \remapfontfeature trep yes [empty] Mojca

Error when calling \placecontent from product

Hi, I'd appreciated some help with the following problem. How can I stop the following code generating an error on calling \placecontent from a product? In the test case I have files: env-test, prd-test, cmp-test. \startenvironment [env-test] \def\dostartArticle[#1]% generate article header with {\getgparameters[my][#1] \chapter{\mytitle} } \def\dostopArticle{% \page} \def\startArticle{\dosingleempty\dostartArticle} \def\stopArticle{\dosingleempty\dostopArticle} \stopenvironment \startproduct prd-test \environment ../env-test \placecontent %fails with Undefined control sequence \mytitle \component cmp-test \stopproduct \startcomponent[cmp-test] \product prd-test \environment env-test %\placecontent %works here \startArticle[title={Into the unknown}, author={A. U. Thor}] %author parameter unused in test, just example of what I expect \startArticle to look like \input knuth \stopArticle \stopcomponent Any ideas how to make this work? TIA, Elliot

Hi, I've adapted the complete luatex/markiv typescript example at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Mark_IV#Opentype_features for FF Kievit Pro I. It works quiet nice out of the box (aaah, nomore fiddling with font installation!). \starttypescript [sans] [kievit] \definefontsynonym [KievitProRegular] [name:KievitPro-Regular] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [KievitProMedium] [name:KievitPro-Medium] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [KievitProExtraBold] [name:KievitPro-ExtraBold] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [KievitProItalic] [name:KievitPro-Italic] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [KievitProMediumItalic] [name:KievitPro-MediumItalic] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [KievitProExtraBoldItalic] [name:KievitPro-ExtraBoldItalic] [features=default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [sans] [kievit] \definefontsynonym [Sans] [KievitProRegular] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SansItalic] [KievitProItalic] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SansBold] [KievitProMedium] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SansSlanted] [SansItalic] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SansBoldSlanted] [SansBoldItalic] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SansCaps] [Sans] [features=smallcaps] \stoptypescript \definetypeface[kievit][rm][sans][kievit][default] \definetypeface[kievit][ss][sans][kievit][default] \definetypeface[kievit][tt][mono][modern] [default][rscale=1.12] \definetypeface[kievit][mm][math][iwona] [default][rscale=1.02] \setupbodyfont[kievit,ss,10pt] Now \bf \it works perfectly well but \sc doesn't. Do I need some extra definition? Best regards, Ulrich

Making a template, defining a macro
by Demián Gutierrez 31 Jul '08

31 Jul '08

Hi, I have to prepare a template to typeset a document that will have a lot of tables of similar kinds repeated across the document. I want to put that tables in some kind of templates, so I can use those templates over and over. So the idea is to hide to the authors all the format details behind the template allowing them to focus on the data that has to be filled in those tables (which is the important thing). So, I would like to define some macros, that allows me to do something like: \starttableX \startSomeField Some Field Value... \stopSomeField \startOtherField Other Field Value... \stopOtherField \stoptableX And the result, should be a table like this: | Some Field Label: | Some Field Value... | | Other Field Label: | Other Field Value... | That way I define a template for each table type I'll have in the document. I'm not having trouble with the tables, but with the macro definition, this is my approximation of what I want (which does not work): \startsetups crudmain \long\def\startguiname #1 \stopguiname{\setvariables[crudmain][guiname=#1]} \long\def\startclassname #1 \stopclassname{\setvariables[crudmain][classname=#1]} GUI Name: \getvariable{crudmain}{guiname} Class Name: \getvariable{crudmain}{classname} \stopsetups \definestartstop[crudmain][commands=\setups{crudmain}] \startcrudmain \startguiname Some name here... \stopguiname \startclassname Other name here... \stopclassname \stopcrudmain At this point I'm getting this error: ! Use of \startguiname doesn't match its definition. I want the \long\def\startguiname inside the \startsetups / \stopsetups to be sure that it will only be called inside the \startcrudmain / \stopcrudmain (Cause other tables of different types may have fields with the same name). But even considering the previous point, if I move the \long\def\startguiname outside the \startsetups / \stopsetups definition it does not works, because the \getvariable{crudmain}{guiname} just returns blank. So is it possible to do what I want or something similar? What would be a good way to do it? Any advice on the code I've already written? This is really getting me crazy, cause context is not like any other programming language I'm used to use ;-) Thanks in Advance Demián

Sample code: a textbook
by Jörg Hagmann 30 Jul '08

30 Jul '08

Some time ago, I showed a few sample pages of a biochemistry textbook I wrote in ConTeXt. I now uploaded the setup file with comments in ContextGarden (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Biochemistry_textbook) I hope that it will be useful for beginners---I found examples helpful myself. A comment regarding the ongoing documentation discussion: The "Excursion" is basically excellent, I also love its Wordsworthian title; keep it! All that's needed is a few corrections and additions. Just an example: Based on "Excursion", you wouldn't be able to indent paragraphs. You'll find the answer in the FAQs, where a beginner probably wouldn't look for it (he/she would probably just give up).

Equation numbers inside Theorem statements
by Ernesto Schirmacher 30 Jul '08

30 Jul '08

Dear ConTeXt experts, I have another question regarding Theorems and equation numbers. I defined an enumeration that produces theorem statements in slanted style. Whenever I have an equation inside the theorem statement the equation number is also typeset in slanted style. But I would like the equation number to come out in normal style. Any suggestions on how I can achieve this effect? Thanks in advance, Ernesto ***Start example*** \defineenumeration [THM] [location=serried, text=Theorem, right=.] \setupenumerations [THM] [headstyle=bold, width=, distance=8pt] \setupenumerations [THM] [style=slanted] \starttext Here comes the first theorem: \startTHM Let $F$ be an $n$-dimensional distribution function with marginal functions $F_1, F_2, \ldots, F_n$. Then there exists an $n$-dimensional copula $C$ such that for all $(x_1, \ldots, x_n) \in \Bbb{R}^n$, \placeformula[eq:copula-representation] \startformula F(x_1, \ldots, x_n) = C(F_1(x_1), \ldots, F_n(x_n)). \stopformula If the functions $F_1, \ldots, F_n$ are all continuous, then $C$ is unique; otherwise, $C$ is uniquely determined on $\Ran F_1 \times \cdots \times \Ran F_n$. \stopTHM \stoptext ***Stop example***
