new beta
by Hans Hagen 01 Jan '12

01 Jan '12

Hi, I uploaded a new beta. As I'm still in cleaning-up mode, the usual problems could show up as quite some code was adapted (moved around). For those interested there is a file 'status-mkiv' that can be run to get an overview of where we stand. One big change has been the way alignments are initialized. There were two methods (one for \setupalign and one for align keywords) and these have been merged into one. A side effect is that an alignment change is twice as fast as before which might make a difference in excessive usage of \framed and some table mechanisms. Another change is that \color[whatever]{} now always expects an argument (in \MKII {\color[red] ...} is valid too. Some more commands might get that restriction but not the style switchers etc). Again this is twice as fast as the previous method (probably not that noticeable as many switches happen otherwise). For those who won't/didn't get it by snail mail .. this years card can be found at http://www.pragma-ade.com/show-gra.pdf#page=33 In 2012 it will of course again be a gamble if the betas work out well, 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

I thought I'd see if I could use ConTeXt. Here is my first try, hello.tex. \starttext \input header Hello, World!\startlua a = 1.5 b = 1.8 c = a * b tex.print(c) \stoplua plus1. \stoptext Didn't work because the file header.tex could not be found, even though kpsewhich can find it.

Page Size to Figure Size
by Kip Warner 31 Dec '11

31 Dec '11

Hey list, I have a lot of fairly large diagrams in my book that don't always match the aspect ratio of the page in landscape mode, though they usually are closer to landscape than a portrait layout for the page dimension. How can I insert a figure so that it is of a given size, with the page size perfectly cropped around it? The closest I have right now is this which is rather awful: \definepapersize[main][A4][A4] \definepapersize[diagram][A4,landscape][A4,landscape] % Insert a full page landscape diagram, parameters are node name, caption, and path... \def\FullPageLandscapeDiagram#1#2#3% { \page \setuppapersize[diagram] \setuplayout[fullpage] \startframedtext[width=.95\textwidth,bottom=\vss,top= \vss,align=right,corner=rectangular] \placefigure [force][figure:#1] {#2} {\externalfigure[#3][width=.95 \textwidth,background=color,backgroundcolor=colour_figure_background]} \stopframedtext \page \setuppapersize[main] \setuplayout[reset] } -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

Header and footer style and arranging
by Aditya Mahajan 31 Dec '11

31 Dec '11

Header and footer styles do not work with arranging and double sided layout. Minimal example: \setuppapersize[A5][A4,letter] \setuparranging[2SIDE] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \setupheader[style=smallcaps, color=blue] \setupheadertexts[] \setupheadertexts[Hello][][][World] \starttext \input knuth \stoptext Aditya

Hi there, with the files form http://meeting.contextgarden.net/2011/talks/day2_03_thomas_xml-tutorial/, I tried: context --environment=mysecondstyle.tex myexample.xml But I don't get the PDF output (attached log file). What is wrong here? (Using ConTeXt stable from TL2011.) Best wishes for 2012, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Scite Lexers
by John Kitzmiller 31 Dec '11

31 Dec '11

This may not belong here but perhaps someone would be willing to confer with me off-list? After Scite re-install with new MkIV instructions I can not find where to change background color. (I was able to change it before under ebswift installation although syntax highlighting for *tex did not work--such a deal!) The only lead I have so far is, commenting out "import lexers/lpeg" in SciteGlobal.properties takes away all highlighting for all languages. I know there is a warning about lexer interaction from November 2011, but I have not had any other problems (except Purge All does not work) with Scite 3.02, lpeg lexers 3.02-1, and ConTeXt ver: 2011.12.20 22:24 MKIV. Thanks, John

searching xml node tree
by Meer, H. van der 31 Dec '11

31 Dec '11

In the processing of xml data path expressions like a/(b|c)/*/d etc. can be used. However, I have a node that can be present inside every node of the tree. One method to collect these all together is bij successive calls: \xmlall{#1}{/node}, \xmlall{#1}{/*/node}, \xmlall{#1}{/*/*/node}, etc. But that fails if the tree is deeper than foreseen. I tried recursive searching within the node-setup-processor by calling \xmlall{#1}{../*/node} but either this fails or I am not doing it the right way. Any ideas? Hans van der Meer
