Re: [NTG-context] need help for the installation of luatools
by Dalyoung Jeong 15 Sep '07

15 Sep '07

Thank you, Thomas, Arthur, and Taco, I checked texmf.cnf. There are two texmf.cnf gwTeX/texmf.cnf ---> there is no code for the memory setup, it just describe the TDS structure. gwTeX/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf ---> trie_size = 400000 gwTeX/texmf.local/web2c/ no texmf.cnf Gerben made other cnf file(he said that it is for the context). gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/web2c/{context.cnf, natural.ctx} ---> trie_size.context = 500000 The result of "kpsewhich texmf.cnf" is /usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.cnf. And "kpsewhich --expand-var = '$TEXMF' shows the directory system of gwTeX. At this moment, I don't know what I can do. I'll test it more after changing the memory setup. Thank you again. Best regards, Dalyoung

\coloneqq
by Jesse Alama 15 Sep '07

15 Sep '07

I'd like to use a colon-equals sign symbol to indicate a definition. According to The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List, this symbol is available in the txfonts (LaTeX) package. However, it seems that the txfonts support in ConTeXt doesn't contain that symbol. And, in any case, a search for \coloneqq on the wiki gave no results. Perhaps the symbol I want isn't called coloneqq in ConTeXt, or perhaps the symbol is currently missing. How can I get this symbol in my ConTeXt document? Thanks for your help, Jesse -- Jesse Alama (alama(a)stanford.edu)

fret-diagrams in Lilypond + ConTeXt
by Mikael Persson 14 Sep '07

14 Sep '07

Hi all, I have problems getting fret-diagrams working in Lilypond+ConTeXt. The following works in lilypond \markup \fret-diagram #"s:0.75;f:1;6-x;5-x;4-o;3-2-1;2-3-3;1-2-2;" However, the following does not work in ConTeXt: \usemodule[lilypond] \starttext \startlilypond \markup \fret-diagram #"s:0.75;f:1;6-x;5-x;4-o;3-2-1;2-3-3;1-2-2;" \stoplilypond \stoptext I have ConTeXt ver: 2007.08.08 14:35 MKII fmt: 2007.8.26 int: english/english Lilypond version 2.10.5 and the Lilypond ConTeXt module t-lilypond-2007.09.02.zip The examples on the wiki works well, and the problem seems to be that \fret-diagram is written as \fret -diagram (note the space) in the .tmp file, and thus producing the error(?) Any ideas? Best regards, Micke P

Hi, I have Nokia N800. It is a Linux (Debian-based) "PDA" with an ARM processor and only LaTeX package. I would like to install the minimal ConTeTt distribution on it, but I haven't found binaries for this architecture. Can I find these binaries somewhere? I like minimal ConTeXt distribution, becose it isn't too big and it works well. But if you have a better idea, how to install ConTeXt to my device, I'd like to try it. Thanks maaca

CompleteListOfFigures Question?
by G.C.H.M. Verhaag 14 Sep '07

14 Sep '07

Dear ConTeXt Users, Currently I'm struggling with the completelistoffigures command! I'd like to generate a list of figures that only have a caption description, but no (\setupcaptions[...,number=no,....]) number. My current setup only generates the title Figures of the list of figures, that's it. However, when I change the number option of the setupcaptions command to yes, the list is generated correctly. But that's not what I want! Is there a way to accomplish the desired effect using the completelistoffigures command? Thanks! Regards, Gerard -- Gerard C.H.M. Verhaag St. Jorisstraat 29 5954 AN Beesel NETHERLANDS Tel.: +31-(0)774742493, E-mail: verhaaggchm(a)ision.nl

Re: [NTG-context] externalfigure and uppercase extensions
by Santy, Michael 13 Sep '07

13 Sep '07

> This makes sense. So much so that perhaps it could be added to the > core spec-tpd.tex file. I think it would make more sense for conTeXt to first convert an image's extension to lower case before trying to figure out rule to apply. Otherwise in order to be correct, you would need an entry for "Jpg", "jPg", "jpG", "JPg", "JpG", and "jPG" -- not even counting the permutations for "jpeg". > You could consider using a case-insensitive file system to store > your data on, and lowercasing all entity input to ConTeXt, but > that is more clumsy than the extra \definefileinsertion-s. I don't think a case-insensitive FS is going to be an option for us (*nix only). Back to my original question, should "\externalfigure[MY_FIGURE.JPG][type=jpg] work? Or am I misunderstanding the meaning of the type parameter? Cheers, Mike

externalfigure and uppercase extensions
by Santy, Michael 13 Sep '07

13 Sep '07

Hello, I'm using conTeXt as the renderer in a XML workflow and have run into a problem with externalfigure. When a user chooses to include a PNG, PDF, or JPG image with an extension that is capitalized (or more generally, not all lower case), the externalfigure just includes a grey box like it can't find the file. The snippet below illustrates the problem. Note that I'm able to include the image by renaming the file to IMG_0103.jpg and changing the externalfigure to the corresponding filename. \starttext \externalfigure[IMG_0103.JPG] \stoptext I tried adding type=jpg and/or method=jpg to the externalfigure arguments, but the file did not compile. I found that by adding the entry "\definefileinsertion{tpd}{JPG}{\handlepdfimage}" to the spec-tpd.tex file in the context distribution, the externalfigure is able to include this image correctly. Should the mappings in these files be case insensitive? I'm sure that I'm missing something basic. Could someone please enlighten me? Cheers, Mike Santy

broken pdfs, no joking!

Hello, Believe it or not, but despite of mtxrun and other problems, luatex worked properly for me right till 9-10 update. I've re-uploaded fresh mswincontext, unpacked it, and my test file with Times New Roman font complied smoothly. Once I updated to the latest cont-tfm package, it began producing broken pdfs! And it spoils everything with any third-party font, not only Times. Help!!! Regards, Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky

xetex and external pdf stretching
by Andrea Valle 13 Sep '07

13 Sep '07

Hi, I'm experimenting with xetex as suggested. All ok up to know. But I'm having a strange problem with figures. Typically I create my diagrams with Omnigraffle, export them in pdf (default setting) and reimport them in ConTeXt. Always fine. Using texexec --xtx I'm having a strange scale in vertical dimension, i.e. the figure is vertically stretched. The figure is ok, because the problem does not arise when I omit the -xtx flag. The code I'm using is trivial \placefigure{{\em Semiotiche}: produzione, distribuzione e accesso.} {\externalfigure[pipeline][width=\textwidth]} No stretching using a png instead of a pdf \placefigure{{\em Semiotiche}: produzione, distribuzione e accesso.} {\externalfigure[pipeline][width=\textwidth]} I guess it could it be in some way related to fonts (the fig is a a diagram labelled with text)?

Interactive slides---hidden field on every page

Good morning or whatever you have now in Europe. I'm preparing my slides. Every slide is divided to three parts (backgrounds): text, header, and bottom. I've got the navigation buttons in the bottom. Now I'd like to add one more button that would open a field on the current page---a field containing the list of content. I'd like it to go to the \Topic I want to discuss and disappear. I tried this: \definefield[Content][check][HelpSetup][content][content] \setupfields[reset] \setupfield[HelpSetup] [width=fit,height=fit,frame=off,option={readonly,hidden}] % \definesymbol[content][\SomeContentText] \def\SomeContentText{% \startframedtext [width=\textwidth, height=fit, frame=on, background=color, backgroundcolor=tmava,framecolor=svetla]% \placecontent} \stopframedtext } % \setupbackgrounds [text] [%backgroundoffset=10pt,%.5cm, background={contentmenu,nextpage}] % \defineoverlay [ContentOnOff] [{\goto{\framed[width=\overlaywidth,height=\overlayheight,frame=off]{\hss}}% [JS(Toggle_Hide{Content})]}]%\overlaybutton{JS(Toggle_Hide{Content})}] % \startinteractionmenu[bottom] \setupinteraction [color=svetla, contrastcolor=black] \hbox to 600pt{% \raise0.4em\hbox{% \framed[width=3em, height=0.7em, frame=off, background={PageCounter,ContentOnOff}]{}} \hss \interactionbuttons[frame=off, width=8em] [firstpage, previouspage,nextpage, lastpage, PreviousJump,NextJump]% \hbox to 1cm{\hss}% \hbox to 44mm{% \interactionbuttons[frame=off][CloseDocument]\hss}% } However, it doesn't work: 1. The list of content is placed only on one page, not at all of them as I would like. 2. The field supposed to show/hide it isn't clickable---it isn't interactive, and does nothing. 3. I use \Topic and \Subject as heads, and I don't know how to put them to the list of content. Can you possibly help me to solve this problem? Sincerely yours Michal Kvasnicka

XeTeX + ConTeXt in TeXShop
by Andrea Valle 12 Sep '07

12 Sep '07

Hi, I was trying to configure teXShop so that it can run texexec --xtx I was following Otared's suggestions: http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2006/016502.html I tried a brainless practice, creating the suggested file with #!/bin/tcsh set path= ($path /usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current / usr/local/bin) texexec --xtx "$1" but it didn't work, so I changed the provided paths (I'm an Unix ignorant: proceeded by nose, as we say in Italy) And I have this: #!/bin/tcsh set path= ($path /usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-darwin / /usr/texbin) texexec --xtx "$1" (I have mactex on macosx 10.4) In TeXShop while launching the typesetting process I'm having a white console and nothing happens. Any hints?

I don't have much time to investigate properly but there should be a \complexheadnumber defined in core-sec which gives you what you need. This should be tied to \headnumber though, so if that doesn't work it may be to do with where or how you are using the command. Do you have a complete minimal example document? Duncan

figures using xetex
by Andrea Valle 10 Sep '07

10 Sep '07

Hi to all, while finishing this: http://www.cirma.unito.it/research/alternando/photo/photoBook.pdf I was experimenting with fonts. Using xetex, I simply added : \definetypeface[Optima][rm][Xserif][Optima] \setupbodyfont[Optima] Fonts are ok (Optima is used). I saw that many tmp .rli files are generated. Apart form the increasing compiling time, the first problem is that I had to run several times texexec --xtx in order to generate them all. Is it normal? Most important it behaves strangely with layers using pdfs figures. Color is not applied, or typically they are not shown. What am I missing? Many thanks Best -a- PS: no news with the old xetex question concerning fonts in figure? It seems that both the problem are related to the use of pdfs to be inserted in the ConTeXT file. -------------------------------------------------- Andrea Valle -------------------------------------------------- CIRMA - DAMS Università degli Studi di Torino --> http://www.cirma.unito.it/andrea/ --> andrea.valle(a)unito.it -------------------------------------------------- I did this interview where I just mentioned that I read Foucault.

how to reuse float numbers?
by William S. 10 Sep '07

10 Sep '07

Hello, I am wondering if the float numbers can be reused for floats that are longer than a page. I use floats that contain program segments (source code) for a project report for my university studies. The guidelines specify that captions for code which is longer than one page or crosses page boundaries should be reprinted and the title changed to (continued). example: Program Segment 1.1: Hello World #include <stdio.h> main() { ...on next page... Program Segment 1.1: (continued) printf("hello world!\n"); } Can someone help me do this in ConTeXt? I think I can do the splitting of the code myself if needed, but I don't know how to reuse the float number. Currently this is how I define the float: \definetyping[Program][blank=halfline] \definefloat[ProgramSegment][ProgramSegments] \setupcaption[ProgramSegment][location=top,align=right,headstyle=bold,style=bold,inbetween={}] \setuplabeltext[en][ProgramSegment=Program Segment ] And I use it like this: \placeProgramSegment[here]{Hello World} { \startProgram main() { printf("hello world!\n"); } \stopProgram } Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, William.

currentheadnumber / doif.. problem
by Peter Schorsch 10 Sep '07

Hi, I tried to get the full present heading-number. If I am using currentnumber I am getting back only the last part of the heading-number. So I tried do implement a function like this: \def\presentheadnumber% {\doifelse{\headnumber[section]}{}% {\headnumber[chapter]}% {\headnumber[section]}% } but always the else-part is executed. I also tried to use doifemptyelse, doifnumber etc.. but as soon i am using headnumber[...] only the else-part will be executed. Can anyone help me with this problem? Or am I going a complete wrong way? Thanks

Margins around figures
by Kumar Appaiah 08 Sep '07

08 Sep '07

Deat ConTeXt users, I am making a presentation with ConTeXt, with numerous MetaPost figures. Now, the only problem is that my white MetaPost figures don't blend well with the dark background of the screen. This isn't too good since the text labels in my figure's edges appear too close to the edge. What I'd like to know is, whether there's a way to specify some extra margin space around the figure, which would provide some more white area around the MetaPost figure. Alternately, is there an elegant MetaPost way of specifying figure margins? Oh, and my MetaPost files are in separate .mp files; I include them after converting. Thanks!

Hello, \placefloat will put 'figure 1.1' or 'table 1.1' below the figures(or tables). I'd like to change figure or table to my own language.

mkiv and xml
by Hans Hagen 05 Sep '07

05 Sep '07

Hi, I uploaded a new beta which may be of interest to xml lovers. The current (mkii) XML handler is based on hooking code into active < characters. This works ok but has limitations. In MKIV we will have an alternative method which has a few advantages: = you have access to arbitrary elements using a subset of xpath = you can attach fully expandable hooks to elements, using 'setups' = for manu cases xml processing is faster (no need for definitions and save/flush) = with lua as programming environemnt rather tricky manipulations are possible The downside of this method is = loading a document eats a bit of memory Think of this: First we load a file (pretty fast btw given that the whole tree is built in memory in such a way that it can also be flushed as-is) \xmlload{main}{cont-en.xml}{} We hook a specific setup into one of the elements \xmlgrab{main}{cd:command}{cd-demo} This setup is (here #1 represents the current node): \startxmlsetups cd-demo \NC \xmlatt{#1}{name} \NC \xmlatt{#1}{file} \NC \NR \stopxmlsetups Now we can say: \starttabulate[|l|l|] \NC command \NC file \NC \NR \xmlall{main}{//cd:command} \stoptabulate This gives us a two column table There is a truckload of (to be documented) commands, for instance one can filter wlements with: first \xmlfilter{main}{cd:command/first()} \blank[2*big] last \xmlfilter{main}{cd:command/last()} \blank[2*big] first \xmlfirst{main}{cd:command} \blank[2*big] last \xmllast {main}{cd:command} \blank[2*big] You can flush whole (sub)trees, access elements by index, etc A variant of the table builder (without the need for adding hooks) is \startxmlsetups cd-demo \NC \xmlatt{#1}{name} \NC \xmlatt{#1}{file} \NC \NR \stopxmlsetups \starttabulate[|l|l|] \NC command \NC file \NC \NR \xmlcommand{main}{//cd:command}{cd-demo} \stoptabulate Or: \startxmlsetups another-demo \NC \xmlatt{#1}{name} \NC \xmlatt{#1}{file} \NC \NR \stopxmlsetups \starttabulate[|l|l|] \NC command \NC file \NC \NR \xmlfilter{main}{//cd:command/command('another-demo')} \stoptabulate I reimplemented the presentation mml module (partially) using this mechanism. The regular definitions still work but processing a file is done differently: \xmlprocess{id}{filename}{optional initiaization setup} It probably takes a while to get accustomed to this, but this mixture of stream and tree handling of xml files looks promising. The current functionality is still experimental and details may change but the base is there.

fonts from scratch: what's the way?
by Andrea Valle 05 Sep '07

05 Sep '07

Hi to all, after some "eccentric" projects (musical notation, presentations, posters...) I'm starting my first "core" project with ConTeXt. We have a review here at the university which has been published until now by a publisher. As we are having bad typography and bad distribution, and, more, we have to pay for these two services, we are moving it to the web as a series of downloadable pdfs (maybe with Lulu support). Obviously I've proposed ConTeXt. Now: - I think I can manage the project organization as I have already done it for other projects following http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Project_structure - I think I can define style, format etc using the manuals and the list archive and support But: Fonts are really a mysterious topics. Because of this facts, I have always used default ones. As far as I have understood, The Mk IV issue should simplify the situation but (I really don't want to be indelicate) this is really a horror film for a newbie: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Mark_IV I'm using TeXLive installation on a macosx (mactex: http:// www.tug.org/mactex/) So: - should I know something about the metrics and other trickery? In that case, really a picture is worth ten thousand words. - how do I know which fonts are installed by the distro? AFAIK, it seems that this is a fairly complicated topic. Which seems to be pretty bizarre, because if they are unusable, why should they be installed? Experimenting with \enableregime[mac] \usetypescript[berry][ec] % or [8r] \usetypescript[palatino][ec] % \definetypeface[bookman][rm][serif][bookman][default][encoding=ec] \usetypescript[berry][ec] % or [8r] \definetypeface[charter][rm][serif][charter][default][encoding=ec] \starttext \setupbodyfont[palatino] çèòîàùé \setupbodyfont[pos] çèòîàùé \setupbodyfont[bookman] çèòîàùé \setupbodyfont[charter] çèòîàùé \stoptext (from http://home.salamander.com/~wmcclain/context-help.html#intro) Seems to work but I don't know why and how... - so, excluding "secret" pre-installed fonts, what I have to do to choose a (free) font ? - and how do I install it on my machine? - I.e.: what have I to do? Stay on mark II or switch to mark IV? This "mark" issue has confused me a lot more...:) I think a real tutorial on the font subject is lacking. All the available infos () in some way require IMHO a relevant knowledge So I am solemnly saying that I will wikify the discussion...
