Hans, Your reply below was very helpful. I looked at the context command line options and saw 'make'. After running this, the code changes took effect. Thankyou. I could still use help in identifying where equation numbers are defined in the code so that I can add a tracker. Do you have a suggestion of which function (or at least lua file) I should look in for this? I am also curious how hooks are defined, so that I can identify them in the code and see if there is one that would meek my purpose - also where the hook scripts are placed so that context can find them. Thanks again for the reply which got me over the first hurdle. -Lance ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Fri, 07 Jun 2013 09:25:36 +0200 From: Hans Hagen <pragma(a)wxs.nl> To: ntg-context(a)ntg.nl Subject: Re: [NTG-context] How to hack the lua files Message-ID: <51B18AF0.5010206(a)wxs.nl> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252; format=flowed On 6/7/2013 1:20 AM, Lance Larsen wrote: > I have a version of context standalone installed, and I am trying to > add some functionality I need to strc-ref.lua.

It's not a problem to add functionality (lots of hooks for that) but best do that in a local module that gets loaded at runtime then.

My parameters for the compiler are now: context --bat --nonstop --pdf --interface=nl --color "%bm" --synctex=-1 But that does not work (even with the simple working example not). How to correct the arguments? Can I read somewhere what this arguments exactly mean and how to use them? Huseyin

ConTeXt with TeXnicCenter
by "H. Özoguz" 07 Jun '13

07 Jun '13

Hello all together, as I am a bit irritated of the limitations of TeXWorks (both in stability and comfort for big project), I want to switch to TeXnicCenter. I followed the instructions of http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TeXnicCenter and wantet to test it. With a simple \starttext \input knuth \stoptext it works (up to problems with Sumatra PDF, the invers search does not work, the instruction of the wiki are maybe outdated, but that is a topic for another thread...). But if I take a bit more complicated document, it totally fails. Here is my testdocument, which compiles fine in TeXWorks: %Testfile ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ \definefont[amiri][name:arial*arabic at 35 pt] \starttext {\setupalign[r2l]\amiri اللّـهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّد وَآلِ مُحَمَّد } \stoptext %++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ (Everybody should be able to compile this with the font arial for arabic.) The compiling fails and this is the log (very long, sorry...): ********************************************************************************************************* This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.5-1.40.14 (TeX Live 2013/W32TeX) (format=cont-nl 2013.5.11) 7 JUN 2013 11:51 entering extended mode \write18 enabled. **C:/Users/Hussein/Documents/Buch/Buch.tex (c:/Users/Hussein/Documents/Buch/Buch.tex systems : BEWARE: synctex functionality is enabled!

How to hack the lua files
by Lance Larsen 07 Jun '13

07 Jun '13

I have a version of context standalone installed, and I am trying to add some functionality I need to strc-ref.lua. As a simple test to see if modifying the file was working, I enabled the 'structures.referencing.identifying' tracker and verified that I was getting messages from this tracker in the log. I then modified the log statement in strc-ref.lua and processed the document again. The changes I made to the lua file did not seem to be active. I verified that there is only one log statement that matches the output I am seeing. Why would my lua code change not be active? Is the lua code cached somehow? (I am running this from windows if that matters). The code I modified is under the path: context\tex\texmf-context\tex\context\base\ strc-ref.lua -Lance Larsen

\page[blank], \page[header]
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 07 Jun '13

07 Jun '13

Hello, just an idea: \page[header] and \page[blank] suppresses temporarily header defined by \setupheadertexts. But, when header is underlined by \setupbackgrounds[header][text][bottomframe=on], this frame (rule) is not cancelled - it still appears on the (blank) page. Wouldn't be good that \page[header] and \page[blank] disable header & footer frames (rules), too? Maybe another keyword for \page would be handy for this purpose, e.g. \page[Header], \page[HEADER], \page[BLANK]. Best regards, Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.

Side-by-side framed text blocks
by honyk 06 Jun '13

06 Jun '13

Dear All, I'd like to type two blocks of text with different 'align' settings side by side. A desired output can be found e.g. in examples 1.9-1.10 in http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/style.pdf Here blocks have a background instead of frames though. Both variants are acceptable for me. I am lost in various text box, framing or columns switches and unable to create something similar. Thanks, Jan

\define with more than 9 parameters??
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 06 Jun '13

06 Jun '13

Hello ConTeXist. Is there in ConTeXt any dirty trick, which can put more than 9 parameters into macro? I mean for example \define[25]\macrowithtwentyfiveparams{ .... } I use rarely any trick from Peter Olsak (see below) and I'd like something like that used in ConTeXt. Thanx Jaroslav Hajtmar Here is minimal example of trick of Petr Olsak: \newcount\tempnum \def\terminator{*} \newcount\tempnum \def\readparameters{\tempnum=0\let\next=\readone \next} \def\readone #1,{\advance\tempnum by 1 \def\param{#1}% %\the\tempnum - \param\par% \ifx\param\terminator \let\next=\relax \else\expandafter\gdef\csname param\the\tempnum\endcsname{#1}% \fi\next} \def\moreparameters#1{% \readparameters #1 % \csname param1\endcsname, % write first parameter \csname param3\endcsname, % write third parameter \csname param5\endcsname, % write fifth parameter } \starttext %\readparameters a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,m,n,o,*, % %\def\parameters{aaa,bbbb,cccc,dddd,eeeee,fffff,ggggg,*,} %\expandafter\readparameters\parameters \moreparameters{a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,m,n,o,*,} \stoptext
