``fallback" in Typescript
by Tim Li 23 Apr '13

Hi, In the wiki, fallback often appears in the definition of typescript. I am curious about this ``fallback", is there a place to learn the fallback in detail? I haven't found this place in our wiki. Regards, Tim

Re: [NTG-context] calculating with dimension unit

Thank you all!!!!!! My book from last year (15.000 lines text + context-code and 1.500 lines macro-code now was compiled without no further problems! I only had to change all \define\variable ... to \defineexpandable\variable ... I think, now I understand a little bit more about ConTeXt and try again to give a little bit back to the community. I have started a new article on the context-wiki: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Calculating_with_dimension_units Hopefully the more sophisticated ConTeXter help a little bit to improve the article. Please have a look what is wrong and what I have forgotten (or don't know). Regards Janis

Accessing documentation repository
by contact＠thomas-corbiere.name 22 Apr '13

Hello, I would like to access ConTeXt documentation repository to download and study how ConTeXt is used to produce the manuals, but it looks like the repositories are down. I tried the following: - Official(?) repository svn://ctx.pragma-ade.nl/manuals - Manual translations http://foundry.supelec.fr/gf/project/contextman/scmsvn/ Can someone point me to the new location for the documentation repository? Regards, Thomas Corbière

Hello, thanks for the helpfull tipps. Only one wasn't working: \defineexpandable\ColumnABii {\ctxlua{context([==[\ColumnA + \ColumnB]==])}} ColumnABii: \ColumnABii The result is: ColumnABii: 30mm+ 40mm And it should be ColumnABii: 70mm And in the other cases I get back: 199.16928pt instead of 70mm but this seems to be the same. I think this calculating with dimension is not very well documented in the context-wiki. Thus I would like to write a small article about "Calculating with dimension units" in the wiki.contextgarden.net to help others a bit. Or is there already an article somewhere? Regards Jannis

calculating with dimension unit
by Jan Heinen 22 Apr '13

22 Apr '13

In a book I produced with ConTeXt last year, I did a lot of calculation to be able to change the layout dynamicaly. With the actual version of ConTeXt I can't compile the book. I have tried a lot of things today ... without success. I hope my minimal-example helps you to understand, what I want to do - and what I am doing wrong: \starttext \setupexternalfigures[location={local,global,default}] \defineexpandable\ColumnA {30mm} \defineexpandable\ColumnB {40mm} \defineexpandable\ColumnABi {\dimexpr(\ColumnA + \ColumnB)} \defineexpandable\ColumnABii {\ctxlua{context(\ColumnA + \ColumnB)}} \newdimen\ColumnABiii \ColumnABiii = \dimexpr(\ColumnA + \ColumnB) A \ColumnA% ok B \ColumnB% ok % I sadly get only errors when I delete the comments: %ColumnABi: \ColumnABi %ColumnABii: \ColumnABii %ColumnABiii: \ColumnABiii %\externalfigure[cow][width=\ColumnABiii] ~ \page \stoptext

>> Is it possible to instal and runl ConText on webspace? >> Which requirements and limitations are needed? > define webspace I have webspace hosted at the german provider (1und1) where my homepage is running. It contains php, perl, python, mysqld. I have access via - ssh - ftp It's NOT a managed server - there are lot's of other customers on the same server. Is this enough for your answer or which else information do you need? Regards Janis

csname not applicable?

Why doesn't it seem possible to have the following macro \def\docall#1{\csname xmlprocess#1\encsname{}{}} and use it with \docall{buffer}? How then accomplish this? Runaway argument? \def \sourcenode {exam::15}\edef \currentsource {\xmlattdef {exam::15\ETC. ! File ended while scanning use of \buff_gobble. ... \luat_start_lua_code_indeed ...nd \directlua {#1}} Hans van der Meer

select setups
by Meer, H. van der 21 Apr '13

If I have various setups like: \startxmlsetups xam:setups \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{..{xam:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xam:setups} \startxmlsetups xbm:setups \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{..{xbm:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xbm:setups} Is it then possible to have \xmlall{#1}{lpath} with a path such that on the top level restrictions apply to some of the xam:setups but to none of the xbm:setups?

xml path
by Meer, H. van der 21 Apr '13

21 Apr '13

Having for example xml-structure: <rootnode> <node1><subnode1>..</subnode1></node1> <node2/> /node3/> </rootnode> With the path expression \xmlall{#1}{!node1} the <node1> should be suppressed, as happens in case. However, nodes under <node1> like <subnode1> should be suppressed because <node1> is suppressed. But that is not the case, these nodes do appear. Apparently I need another path expression. But which one? Hans van der Meer
