mp inclusions etc
by Hans Hagen 18 Feb '13

18 Feb '13

Hi, I updated the inclusion mechanism a bit. It's now: % initializations: % % - pass settings from tex to mp (delayed expansion) % - used by context core (and modules) % - cummulative definitions % - flushed each graphic % - can be disabled per instance % - managed at the tex end % % extensions: % % - add mp functionality (immediate expansion) % - cummulative % - all instances or subset of instances % - can be disabled per instance % - managed at the lua/mp end % - could be managed at the tex end but no real reason and also messy % % definitions: % % - add mp functionality (delayed expansion) % - cummulative % - per instance % - managed at the tex end % % inclusions: % % - add mp functionality (delayed expansion) % - cummulative only when [+] % - per instance % - managed at the tex end % % order of execution: % % definitions % extensions % inclusions % beginfig % initializations % graphic % endfig So, the main differences are: (1) inclusions bound to default or specific instanced (2) extensions more flexible \starttext \startMPextensions color ColorOne ; ColorOne := red ; color ColorTwo ; ColorTwo := green ; color ColorThree ; ColorThree := blue ; \stopMPextensions \startMPextensions{doublefun} color ColorThree ; ColorThree := magenta ; \stopMPextensions \startMPinclusions def DoWhatever = draw textext("N") ; enddef ; \stopMPinclusions \startMPinclusions def DoWhatever = draw textext("Y") ; enddef ; \stopMPinclusions \startMPinclusions{doublefun} def DoWhatever = draw textext("Y") ; enddef ; \stopMPinclusions \startMPinclusions[+]{doublefun} def DoWhatever = draw textext("YY") ; enddef ; \stopMPinclusions \startMPcode{metafun} draw fullcircle scaled 1cm withcolor ColorOne withpen pencircle scaled 1mm ; draw fullcircle scaled 2cm withcolor ColorTwo withpen pencircle scaled 1mm ; draw fullcircle scaled 3cm withcolor ColorThree withpen pencircle scaled 1mm ; DoWhatever ; \stopMPcode \startMPcode{doublefun} draw fullcircle scaled 1cm withcolor ColorOne withpen pencircle scaled 1mm ; draw fullcircle scaled 2cm withcolor ColorTwo withpen pencircle scaled 1mm ; draw fullcircle scaled 3cm withcolor ColorThree withpen pencircle scaled 1mm ; DoWhatever ; \stopMPcode \stoptext Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Vertical alignment in combinations?
by Mari Voipio 16 Feb '13

16 Feb '13

Today I feel like a total ConTeXt dummy... The problem: I have 3*1 combination where the end graphics are the same size, but the middle graphic is much shorter. With a standard \startcombination\stopcombination I can easily get all three side-by-side, but they are bottom-aligned while I'd need them middle-aligned. I thought I once had a solution to this, but can't find it - and, for once, the garden doesn't seem to be able to help. Is there a setting I can use to fix the vertical alignment? Or should I give up with combinations and go for a natural table instead? Or do something totally else? Thanks, Mari

simplefonts and math
by Pablo Rodríguez 16 Feb '13

16 Feb '13

Hi Wolfgang, the following sample seems not to select the right math font: \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[TeX Gyre Pagella] \setmathfont[TeX Gyre Pagella] \starttext The basic operation $ 1 + 1 = 2 $. \stoptext I'm afraid this might be a bug, since the sample is taken from the source code hosted at Bitbucket. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Footnote rule colour
by Kumar Appaiah 16 Feb '13

16 Feb '13

Dear ConTeXt list, I am trying to use footnotes in a presentation, and the text colour I am using is white. Now, I've managed to set up the frame I want, and the footnote appears in white, but the line rule above the footnotes still appears black. Could you please let me know how I can make that line white as well? Thanks. Kumar -- Kumar Appaiah

Volunteers for testing a native rsync binary on Windows
by Mojca Miklavec 15 Feb '13

15 Feb '13

Dear ConTeXters, I've found a rsync binary on MinGW project page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MSYS/Extension/rsync/rsync-3.0.… If there are any volunteers to test how the binary behaves when replacing the one from http://distribution.contextgarden.net/setup/context-setup-mswin.zip with the one from mingw, I will be grateful. The idea is to fetch context-setup-mswin.zip, delete cygiconv-2.dll, cygwin1.dll and rsync.exe, try to replace them with the binary from MinGW and test if everything still runs smoothly after that. If it does, I would prefer to use the binary from MinGW. Mojca

Find too long sentences

Which text editor can do that, find too long sentences? Huseyin Am 15.02.2013 13:55, schrieb ntg-context-request(a)ntg.nl: > This sounds more like a job for the text editor.

Find too long sentences
by "H. Özoguz" 15 Feb '13

15 Feb '13

Good Friday there, working on a book with many too long sentences, I got the following idea/question: Is it possible to recognize the length of a sentence, and to let context show in the pdf, if there is a too long sentence. For example I am thinking of an command like \version[longsentence,15] which sets an symbol like "*" in the margin, if a sentence has more than 15 words. First, correct sentence-regonition could be a task: It is not enough to count the words between two dots, because of abbreviations. But there is probably a known algorithm for handling those problems. I think a feature like this could be interesting for context (and for my work :D) Thanks for you comments Huseyin

Search path for external figures changed
by Marco Patzer 15 Feb '13

15 Feb '13

Hi, recently there was a discussion about search paths for external figures. Now I noticed that the search path is much stricter than it used to be and by default only local images are found. Is it intended that images are not searched in the texmf tree unless explicitly told to do so? Example: %% no cow without location=default %% \setupexternalfigures [location=default] \starttext \externalfigure [cow] \stoptext Marco
