xml--verbatim in error?
by Meer, H. van der 21 Mar '12

21 Mar '12

I found something that might be an error in the current xml-processing. In the following minimal example een "Undefined control sequence" error occurs for the \xmldisplayverbatim and \xmlinlineverbatims. The \xmlverbatim doesn't. \startxmldisplayverbatim ...\doinitializeverbatim \beginofverbatimlines \startbuffer[test-1] <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <myroot> <text>buffer[test-1] contents</text> </myroot> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups load:setups \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{myroot|text}{load:*} \stopxmlsetups\xmlregistersetup{load:setups} \startxmlsetups load:myroot \writestatus{TEST}{loading myroot node = #1 = \xmlname{#1}} % \xmlverbatim{#1}{text}\par \xmldisplayverbatim{#1}{text}\par % \xmlinlineverbatim{#1}{text}\par \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups load:text \writestatus{TEST}{node = #1 = \xmlname{#1}} \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \enabletrackers[lxml.loading] \setuppapersize[S5][S5] \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{myroot}{test-1}{} \stoptext Hans van der Meer

Custom itemize Symbols
by Malte Stien 21 Mar '12

21 Mar '12

Hi all, Is there a way to define your own itemize symbols? I would like a solid square, as in symbol 8 (referring to Table 10.1 in the Context Manual, but solid/filled whereas 8 is hollow. I tried to declare my own bullet point, as in: \def\squarebullet{\vrule height .9ex width .8ex depth -.1ex } % square bullet and then tried to use it in the \startitemize command, but it appears that command does not take commands as its first argument: \startitemize[\squarebullet, packed] \item foo \item baz ... \stopitemize So here goes that idea. Other idea was to use \sym{\squarebullet}. That actually works, however, the problem is that it needs to be specified for the individual bullet point. I need something that can be specified in \setupitemize, such that my writers get that symbol automatically without having any control over it. Any ideas? Regards, Malte

howto execute loaded xml?
by Meer, H. van der 21 Mar '12

21 Mar '12

I made a minimal example showing that load'ed xml is not typeset. In contrast to the first <text>-node the second comes out as xml and not as typeset text. What has to be done to change that? Thanks in advance. Hans van der Meer \startbuffer[load-1] <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <myroot> <include buffer="load-2"/> <text>buffer[load-1] contents</text> </myroot> \stopbuffer \startbuffer[load-2] <includes> <text>Included buffer[load-2] contents & ampersand.</text> </includes> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups load:setups \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{myroot|text|include}{load:*} \stopxmlsetups\xmlregistersetup{load:setups} \startxmlsetups load:myroot \writestatus{TEST-LOAD}{loading myroot} \xmlall{#1}{include} \xmlall{#1}{text} \xmlall{includes}{text} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups load:text *** \xmlflush{#1} ***\par \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups load:include \writestatus{TEST-LOAD}{loading include} \xmlloadbuffer{includes}{load-2} \stopxmlsetups \enabletrackers[lxml.loading] \setuppapersize[S5][S5] \starttext \hairline \xmlprocessbuffer{myroot}{load-1}{} \hairline \stoptext

Request to help categorizing commands on wiki
by Mojca Miklavec 21 Mar '12

21 Mar '12

Dear ConTeXters, Jan Heinen did some heaving wiki editing in order to achieve better categorization of different topics on the wiki. One particular part where your help would be welcome is a big number of different commands listed here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Category:Commands It would be great to assign one or more categories to each command. Sure, many commands are (still) missing, but once commands are categorized, it will be a lot easier to concentrate on - say - describing just interaction/color/font commands at once, and also to keep adding missing commands. The list of all commands together will be assembled later (once commands are categorized). All uncategorized commands are on top category Commands. Please replace that one with [[Category:Command/Some Category|commandname]] (or more than that) and in case that you need to create a new category, please add at least [[Category:Commands|Some Category]] to that Category page. Thanks a lot for help, Mojca PS: Text to the right of "|" in Category:*| is used for sorting (else all commands would end up under "C" for "Command/Whatevercommand").

PDF Digital Signatures
by Andreas Schneider 20 Mar '12

20 Mar '12

Hello, since ConTeXt supports form fields in PDFs, I wonder whether the fields for digital signatures are available as well. If not, please consider this a feature request/wish :-) I received an internal document some time ago that represented a form and was separated into three parts. Part one was to be filled out by the employee (in this case: me). Under this part was a signature field I could click which made Adobe Reader prompt for a digital certificate. After I selected that, information about this certificate appeared inside that form field I just clicked. The other form fields were automatically locked afterwards. If I wanted to change them, I would have to remove my signature. Parts two and three were similar, but meant for management. They needed to sign my request which in turn locked their edit fields. So in other words: I would like to create such forms with ConTeXt :-) I hate these work flows where people are told to "print out form x, sign it and send the scanned copy via email" instead of just signing it digitally. It would also come in handy for technical and business documents that need to be signed by the customer (for example an Interface Document, System Design, Use Case, whatever). I hope that is not completely out of scope for ConTeXt and not too hard to implement. Otherwise I guess I won't see that feature for a long time. Thanks anyway; at least for reading this :-) -- Best Regards, Andreas

xmlinclude
by Meer, H. van der 20 Mar '12

20 Mar '12

Can someone tell me what \xmlinclude is supposed to do? I have experimented a lot but didn't come further to an understanding. I have called it through: \startxmlsetups xam:include \xmlinclude{#1}{include}{file} \stopxmlsetups from a node include in: <problem><include file="functions.xml"/></problem> and indeed \enabletrackers[lxml.loading]gives me in the log: xml > tex > loading file './xm-test-problem.xml' as 'problem' But then nothing seemed to have happened. The xml-node in that file is never seen. I checked that by listing all these nodes in the log (\xmlcommand{\xmldocument}..) The <include> and others are listed, but not the contents of the file I thought I had included. Clearly I have some misunderstanding here as to what the manual implicates. It states: "\xmlinclude{node}{lpath}{attribute} includes the file specified by attribute of the element located by lpath at node node." I take this 'node' ast the node from where the lpath is rooted, but I might be mistaken. And most of all: what happens to the included file and how can I approach/use its contents? I would appreciate an enlightment. Thanks in advance. Hans van der Meer

[OT] WinEDT with Unicode support
by Mojca Miklavec 20 Mar '12

20 Mar '12

Hello, WinEDT finally has Unicode support and the screenshot shows ConTeXt in typesetting menu as well (no idea if that runs texexec or context). http://winedt.com It has been my first TeX editor and I liked it a lot because of newbie-friendliness (lots of tex characters in menu, so no need to remember all commands, no need to deal with command line). I'm not sure how well it is adapted for ConTeXt users and it is windows only, but it has always been my nearly favourite editor. It supports both TeX Live 2011 and latest MikTeX. (Maybe I could ask Alex for additional support for ConTeXt distribution :) Mojca

... and what is the new syntax for \setnumber[footnote]? (the old notation \setnumber[footnote]{123} now results in printing the figures "123") Steffen

figures' captions
by Honza Hejzl 20 Mar '12

20 Mar '12

Hi, this is continuing of my last question. Please, what is wrong with this? \enableregime[utf] \mainlanguage[en] \setuppapersize[A5][A5] \definefloat[figure][figures] \setupcaption[figure][align=left] \starttext \input tufte \placefigure[left]{sdf}{\externalfigure[none][width=5cm]} \input tufte \stoptext It seems align parameter is always ignored. I have the caption centered all the time (nothing helps, align right, flushleft...) Thanks, Honza
