outlines don't work?
by Erik Margraf 16 Jun '12

16 Jun '12

Dear list! I would like to use the "outline" feature of context. The following (hopefully minimal) example gives me <Nothing> as output ------------------- \starttext \setupcolors[state=start] \definelayer[L] \setupbackgrounds[page][background={L}] \startuseMPgraphic{PN} graphictext "Bla Bla" scaled 4 withcolor blue withfillcolor .7white withpen pencircle scaled 2pt; \stopuseMPgraphic \null\dontcomplain \setlayer[L]{\useMPgraphic{PN}} \stoptext ---------------- I saw a probably related post on this list on May, 30th. (subject "graphictext fails) Also, my .mpy file is empty. A .tex file and a .pdf is generated though My environment is as follows: OS: Debian AMD64 wheezy / sid Context: current version: 2012.06.13 23:46 (tried also some older versions, no difference) pstoedit: 3.60 (maybe some problems here?) Anything else of importance? Thanks in advance for any help or hint. Erik

parameter setting
by Meer, H. van der 16 Jun '12

16 Jun '12

In order to be able to use attributes on xml-nodes freely, the following situations can arise: The foregroundcolor parameter gets a value: <node color="red"> correctly sets ..[foregroundcolor=\xmlatt{#1}{color}] color to red. However, in the next case the current foregroundcolor should be left as is, but reverts to black: <node> ..[foregroundcolor=] and is apparently reset to the general default. trying the following seemed the solution, but it does not work: ..[\doifnot{\xmlatt{#1}{color}}{\empty}{foregroundcolor=\xmlatt{#1}{color}}] giving in the log: {foregroundcolor=orange}' in line 16 (249>:) check > missing or ungrouped '=' after '\doifnot {}{} Putting the above \doif inside an \expanded{} does not alter the behaviour. How to accomplish leaving the parameter as is for an absent attribute? Hans van der Meer

Testing the changing dimensions of boxes (in cycles) via Lua
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 15 Jun '12

Hello ConTeXist and Lua experts. In a my Lua project I need to determine the changing dimensions of the TeX \vbox through Lua. In ConTeXt cycle, it works fine, but in the Lua cycle does not change the dimensions of the box. What am I doing wrong? Thank you.
