Buffers vs. \def
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 18 Apr '12

18 Apr '12

Hello, a question - I'm just curious: What is advantage (or maybe intension) of using buffers over \def? Compare: ---- \def\BufA{This is buffer A.} \startbuffer[BufB] This is buffer B. \stopbuffer \starttext \BufA \getbuffer[BufB] \ifx\BufC\undefined No buffer C.\else\BufC\fi \stoptext ---- Both ways give the required effect. Moreover, when using \def, I can also test its existence (maybe it's also possible with buffers, but I don't know how). Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

How to get \structurenumber and \structuretitle by Lua?
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 18 Apr '12

18 Apr '12

Hello, values of number and title of the current (sub...)section can be received by \structurenumber and \structuretitle commands. Is there a way how to get these values by Lua? Suppose: ---- \starttext \section{Sec 1} % Now "\structurenumber" yields "1" and "\structuretitle" gives "Sec 1" % How to get "1" and "Sec 1" from Lua? \startluacode print(0, context["structuretitle"]) print(1, context["structuretitle"]()) print(2, context.getvalue("structuretitle")) print(3, context.constants("structuretitle")) print(4, context.variables("structuretitle")) \stopluacode \stoptext ---- My attempts don't give any useful value (or some of them are even erroneous). I have no idea how to get the texts "1" and "Sec 1". Any hints would be appreciated... Best regards, Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.

Fwd: [tldev] tlmgr multi repository support
by Martin Schröder 18 Apr '12

18 Apr '12

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Norbert Preining <preining(a)logic.at> Date: 2012/4/18 Subject: [tldev] tlmgr multi repository support To: tldev(a)tug.org Dear all, with today's update tlmgr multi repository support has entered into the tlcritical repository and the main svn branch. We will not ship that for TL2011, but keep it already now in tlcritical for testing. Everyone is invited to *actually* test it. Here a short recipe: 1* update tlmgr/texlive.infra to the version in tlcritical: tlmgr --repository ftp://tug.org/texlive/tlcritical update --self if that has succeeded, you should now have a multi-repository capable installations, but set up to work in normal single repo mode as before. To add repositories you have to two two things: 2a* add another repository: tlmgr repository add ftp://tug.org/texlive/tlcritical tlc (the tlc is just a tag name, you can give it any reasonable and unique one that is not "main" and not used already) If you installation was up2date before, you will see no change but a slightly different output, and a strange line: $ tlmgr update --list tlmgr: package repository: main = http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet tlc = ftp://tug.org/texlive/tlcritical tlmgr: saving backups to /home/norbert/tltest/2011/tlpkg/backups keep: texlive.infra : local: 26004, source: 24419@main tlmgr: no updates available $ Why? Because there is the missing step 2b* which tells tlmgr which packages are taken from which repository. By default *ALL* packages are taken from the main repository, the first entered. You will see now two repositories if you have followed me up to here: $ tlmgr repository List of repositories (with tags if set): ftp://tug.org/texlive/tlcritical (tlc) http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet (main) $ Now how do you tell that you *always* want texlive.infra from tlcritical: 2b* Declare pinning rules For the full documentation read tlmgr help, in principle you have to add a file TEXMFLOCAL/tlpkg/pinning.txt which contains lines repo:pkg[,pkg] where repo is either the full URL or the tag you gave, and pkg is a package name and can contain shell globs. So to tell tlmgr that you want all texlive.infra packages from tlcritical, you have to create a file TEXMFLOCAL/tlpkg/pinning.txt containing only the line tlc:texlive.infra* (where tlc is the name you gave above). After that the output of tlmgr will change: $ tlmgr update --list tlmgr: using pinning file /home/norbert/tltest/2011/../texmf-local/tlpkg/pinning.txt tlmgr: package repository: main = http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet tlc = ftp://tug.org/texlive/tlcritical tlmgr: saving backups to /home/norbert/tltest/2011/tlpkg/backups tlmgr: no updates available $ You can inquire about different candidates for installation via: $ tlmgr candidates texlive.infra tlmgr: using pinning file /home/norbert/tltest/2011/../texmf-local/tlpkg/pinning.txt tlmgr: package repository: main = http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet tlc = ftp://tug.org/texlive/tlcritical Install candidate for texlive.infra from tlc (26004) Other repositories providing this package: main (24419) $ etc etc. Please read the full man page of tlmgr for more details. I hope that helps some people to try it out, and give me feed back. This was a long term project and is now simmering in my local repository for more than half a year, but still a wider test is very much needed before TL2012 is released.

That works awesome Taco. Thanks a lot. It doesn't matter that it can't accept multiple keys easily and put on their own lines, since it wouldn't make sense if you've got extra={} data to add anyways. > Perhaps, but I have never seen it done like that, and it takes more > than a bit of programming to make the bibliography module do that. > Sorry, no time for that.

Notepad++ configuration
by Luiz Borges 17 Apr '12

17 Apr '12

Can anybody tell me how to correctly configure Notepad++ to use ConTeXt? I'm just starting with ConTeXt (and Tex BTW) and Scite seems to be too unpolished. One advantage that I can see of Scite over Notepad++ is that it has some autocompletion, besides that I think the interface and its "tools" are terrible. Also, is there anyother noteworthy editor that works nicely with standalone context? Preferably with spell-check and auto-completion. Regards, Luiz Borges

Project structure, (simple)font woes
by Mari Voipio 17 Apr '12

17 Apr '12

Hello all, I'm trying to teach myself to use the project structure. After a few rounds of trial and error (...and stupid naming schemes...) I'm almost there, but got stuck at my font setups. If I do this as a single file, it works fine (Win7 and newest ConTeXt, updated it this morning): % FONT related setups \usemodule[simplefonts] % to get access to Calibri & Cambria, win ttf fonts \starttypescript[Manuals] \definetypeface[Manuals] [rm] [serif] [cambria] [default] [rscale=0.95] \definetypeface[Manuals] [ss] [sans] [calibri] [default] [rscale=0.9] \stoptypescript \usetypescript[Manuals] \setupbodyfont[Manuals,10pt,sans] % end of font setups \starttext \input knuth \stoptext However, if I make a really simple project structure and try to put the above in an environment file, compiling fails. What am I missing here? proj-test.tex: \startproject proj-test \environment env-fonts-simplefonts \product prd-test1 \stopproject prd-test1.tex: \startproduct prd-test1 \project proj-test \input knuth \stopproduct env-fonts-simplefonts: \startenvironment env-fonts-simplefonts % FONT related setups \usemodule[simplefonts] % to get access to Calibri & Cambria, win ttf fonts \starttypescript[Manuals] \definetypeface[Manuals] [rm] [serif] [cambria] [default] [rscale=0.95] \definetypeface[Manuals] [ss] [sans] [calibri] [default] [rscale=0.9] \stoptypescript \usetypescript[Manuals] \setupbodyfont[Manuals,10pt,sans] % end of font setups \stopenvironment If I look at proj-test.log (the whole thing attached), I think the problem is here: loading > ConTeXt User Module / Simplefonts <+ C:/context/tex/texmf-modules/tex/context/third/simplefonts/t-simplefonts.lua>) (C:/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/type-imp-cambria.mkiv) (C:/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/type-imp-cleartype.mkiv) fonts > defining > font with asked name 'LMMathRoman-Regular' is not found using lookup 'file' fonts > defining > unknown font LMMathRoman-Regular, loading aborted fonts > defining > unable to define LMMathRoman-Regular as [Manuals-10pt-mm-mr--3] fonts > defining > font with asked name 'LMMathRoman-Regular' is not found using lookup 'file' fonts > defining > unknown font LMMathRoman-Regular, loading aborted fonts > defining > unable to define LMMathRoman-Regular as [Manuals-10pt-mm-mr--2] fonts > defining > font with asked name 'LMMathRoman-Regular' is not found using lookup 'file' fonts > defining > unknown font LMMathRoman-Regular, loading aborted fonts > defining > unable to define LMMathRoman-Regular as [Manuals-10pt-mm-mr--1] But why?

Hello, someone, who understood what I want to achieve? http://www.imagebanana.com/view/shoayek5/onlinebook.jpg Or more questions? Regards Janis ----- Copy ----- Re: [NTG-context] doublesided PDF - first and last page singlesided Jan Heinen Mon, 16 Apr 2012 04:29:20 -0700 Hello, some were guessing, what I want to achieve. I made a screenshot for you: http://www.imagebanana.com/view/shoayek5/onlinebook.jpg It ist the online-version of a printed book. For printing it was ok to have one bookpage on one sheet of paper. For the online-version I want to have two bookpages on one sheet of paper but the coverpage should be alone on one sheet of paper. The online-version is a PDF ... no html. "sheet of paper" is of course only virtualy meant ... it is online The difficulty is that there a bunch of (hyperlinked) cross-references in the book ... so people can use the pdf interactively. Without this I could put the pages manualy together. Hope that now you know what I want to do. And I am hoping very much for a solution ...
