Thank you very much. I hope that the module in https://github.com/mojca/context-gnuplot/ is hotfixed now, thanks to Marco's extensive support. If anyone is willing to do a couple more basic tests, I would be grateful. I plan to upload this version to CTAN to get it into TeX Live and our distribution. Apart from that, Marco is working on a heavily modified version of the module (for MKVI). Once that one is tested, we'll upload it as well, but this patch is just to make the module usable again. I'm very sorry that it took me so long. Mojca

\bTD\numexpr\currentTABLErow\minusone\relax\eTD
by Alan BRASLAU 19 Apr '13

Hello, I naively tried using \bTD\numexpr\currentTABLErow\minusone\relax\dTD in a TABLE. As I do not master even simple calculations under TeX, I do not see what I am missing in order to label TABLE rows, starting from 0? (Row 1 is a heading, set off by \bTABLEhead\eTABLEhead, which is why I am looking to subtract 1 from \currentTABLErow, but this does not matter of course. But perhaps the addressing of TABLE rows, including within \setupTABLE, should or could handle this situation? This is a secondary question to think about...) Alan

gnuplot module broken

Hi Mojca et al. todays beta broke the gnuplot module. This is probably due to the changes in the MP inclusion mechanism. \usemodule [gnuplot] \starttext \stoptext Marco

! LuaTeX error [string "\directlua "]:1: invalid escape sequence
by Kip Warner 19 Apr '13

19 Apr '13

Hey list, I am having problems typesetting the following minimal to try and extract the current revision number from my revision control system: % Bzr revision... \def\initializeBzr {\ctxlua{context("\\global\\edef\\BzrRevision{\%s}", os.resultof"bzr revno | tr -d '\\n'")}} \initializeBzr \starttex foo \stoptex The error I receive is: ! LuaTeX error [string "\directlua "]:1: invalid escape sequence near '\%'. system > tex > error on line 5 in file minimal.tex: LuaTeX error ... Line 5 is the \initializeBzr invocation. This was working with TeX Live 2012, but perhaps the correct usage has changed. I am now using ConTeXt 2013.04.11 19:55 with LuaTeX beta-0.76.0-2013041612 (TeX Live 2013) (rev 4627).

\setupbreakpoint[compound] not working
by Aditya Mahajan 18 Apr '13

Hi, I do not get a line-break after a dash if I set \setupbreakpoint[compound] Minimal example (tested with 2013.04.14 MkIV) \setbreakpoints[compound] \setuppapersize[S3] \showframe \starttext ABCD node-to-node node-to-node node-to-node node-to-node \stoptext See the attached file for output. Is it a bug, or am I missing something. Aditya

Command only if \testpage is active

Best result so far is: \setuplayout[grid=yes] \showgrid \setuphead[subsection] [before={\testpage[5]\blank[2*line]}] \setuphead[grid=high] \starttext \dorecurse{15}{Linefill\\} \input tufte \subsection{Hallo} \input tufte \subsection{Hallo} \input tufte \input tufte \stoptext But it is not good as my original, and the so the values make sense: \setuplayout[grid=yes] \showgrid \setuphead[subsection] [after=\vskip-1.6mm, before={\testpage[5]\vskip1.6mm}]] \starttext \dorecurse{18}{Linefill\\} \input tufte \subsection{Hallo} \input tufte \subsection{Hallo} \input tufte \input tufte \stoptext The second example has better (nicer) distances. The reason is: The title should not be perfectly on the grid, only the text. Is there a way to achieve that without those "odd" values, and so without the grid-error? Huseyin

Now you can reporduce it, I think. \setuplayout[grid=yes] \showgrid \setuphead[subsection] [after=\vskip-1.6mm, before={\testpage[5]\vskip1.6mm}]] \starttext \dorecurse{18}{Linefill\\} \input tufte \subsection{Hallo} \input tufte \subsection{Hallo} \input tufte \input tufte \stoptext Huseyin

Hi, for subsections I use \setuphead[subsection] [after=\vskip-1.6mm, before={\testpage[5]\vskip1.6mm}] The reason is perfect distances between text-subsection-text with activated gridding. If the subsection is not set by \testpage on the next page, then everything workes fine! But if, then I want to not use the \vskips in "after" and "before". I want (in pseudo-pseudocode) something like this: if(less then 5 lines, thas is, testpage sets the subsection on the next page) then: \setuphead[subsection] [after=, before=] I hope I could make clear, what I intend to achieve. For testing: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ \setuplayout[grid=yes] \showgrid \setuphead[subsection] [after=\vskip-1.6mm, before={\testpage[5]\vskip1.6mm}]] \starttext \dorecurse{13}{Linefill\\} \input tufte \subsection{Hallo} \input tufte \subsection{Hallo} \input tufte \input tufte \stoptext +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ You see on the second page the problem: gridding is lost.

Underlay a text with color

Hi, how to underlay a text (or simply one word) with a (grey) colored rectangle, just to highlight – like if I had marked it by hand with a grey marker-pen? Thanks. Huseyin
