Toward the use of inleft for custom section's command… or not…

Hello there, Thanks to a hdd crash, I need to rewrite an old document of mine from scratch (after setting up a software RAID on my machine). Unfortunately, I let my ConTeXt faculties to rust… I must deal with several problems (but I will apply the good old divide and conquer rule). So, here is a collection of unforgivable workarounds to produce what I want to: −−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−− \enableregime[utf8] \setuppapersize[A4][A4] \setupbodyfont[10pt] \setuplayout[reset] \setuplayout[ location=singlesided, leftedge=0mm, leftmargin=45mm, rightedge=0mm, rightmargin=0mm, backspace=60mm, topspace=10mm, bottomspace=10mm, header=0mm, headerdistance=0mm, footer=0mm, footerdistance=0mm, margindistance=0mm, height=fit, width=fit, grid=yes] \setuppagenumbering[state=stop] \setupinmargin[style=normal,align=outer] \define[1]\SectionCommand { \blank % just because I always need some vertical space just before my Section \inleft{\bfa #1} {\line{\leaders\hbox{\vrule width 1pt height .5\strutht depth -\dimexpr.5\strutht-\linewidth\relax} \hfil}} \blank[-1*big] % Are you kidding me with that negative blank??? } \define[4]\TopicCommand { \inleft{{\em #1}}{\bfa #2 \hfill \tfx #3} % \crlf % OK, give me a newline! But, the problem is that there is a big % % after space from inleft! \blank[-1*big] % REALLY DUMMY WORKAROUND!!! {\em #4} } \starttext \SectionCommand{A Section} \TopicCommand{The date}{Knuth's topic}{some text}{The detailled topic (more than one line)} \input knuth \blank % Are you kidding me??? \TopicCommand{Another date}{Zapf}{some text}{The detailled topic (more than one line)} \input zapf \SectionCommand{Section} \TopicCommand{A date}{Tufte}{}{Some details} \input tufte \stoptext −−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−− OK, I need that… but a clean version… Best Regards, Renaud

Hi all, the following used to work in earlier releases \starttext $M\limits^4$ $a\!b$ % <- error (whereby $a\,b\;c$ is OK) % $\mathop{M}\limits^4$ $a\! b$ % <- workaround \stoptext Will this change again? Greeting Andreas

new beta
by Hans Hagen 27 Nov '10

27 Nov '10

Hi, I uploaded a new beta. The most important issues are the following: (1) Table I fixed a few things and there is limit color support \VL[10] rule ten times wider than normal \VL[red] red rule \VL[red,10] both The same applies to \HL and \DL, but with \DL the first argument hs the number of spans, so we can have: \DL[2,red,10]. (2) Buffers and typing This whole bunch has been cleaned up and pretty printing has been redone. The \type command accepts an optional argument with settings. as does \starttyping, \typebuffer and \typefile (and the defined variants). The interface for defining visualizers might change a bit but I'm getting there. There is a chapter on it in the cld manual. In principle one can provide arbitrary manipulators, think of: \startluacode local function parser(s) local s = string.gsub(s,"show","demonstrate") local s = string.gsub(s,"'re"," are") context(s) end visualizers.register("MyThing", { parser = parser }) \stopluacode \starttyping[option=MyThing,color=darkred,style=] This is just some text to show what we can do with this mechanism. In spite of what you might think we're not bound to verbose text. \stoptyping \startbuffer[demo] This is just some text to show what we can do with this mechanism. In spite of what you might think we're not bound to verbose text. \stopbuffer \processbuffer[demo][option=MyThing] There are only a few visualizers built in: TEX, MP, LUA, XML and PARSED-XML. There is also PARSED-LUA but that's for Luigi and me to play with first. Colors and fonts might change and are set up differently now, see v-*.mkiv files. (3) MkVI (or: moving on) Say that you have a file test.mkvi that has the following code: \def\TestOne[#1]% {this is: #1} \def\TestTwo#some% {this is: #some} \def\TestThree[#whatever][#more]% {this is: #more and #whatever} \def\TestFour[#one]#two% {\def\TestFive[#alpha][#one]% {#one, #two, #alpha}} \starttexdefinition TestSix #oeps here: #oeps \stoptexdefinition \starttext \startlines \TestOne [one] \TestTwo {one} \TestThree[one][two] \TestFour [one]{two} \TestFive [one][two] \TestSix {one} \stoplines \stoptext This will work out ok, in spite of the not so texy hash usage. This is an experimental feature and only meant for developers to play with. % macros=mkvi as top line also works. Files like that are preprocessed before they are passed to tex. (I'm considering permitting spaces before and after #whatever in the definition line.) More preprocessor features might show up. Of course the limitation of 9 arguments still applies.

I have run into myself in typesetting my thesis. Hi, Apparently I misunderstood the problem in the original post. If you do not want to mention uncited literature in your bibliography leave the argument of \placepublications[] empty or comment out %[criterium=all]. Regards, Robert Blackstone

Problems with getmarking

With this code mkii and mkiv make differents pdf : mkiv doesn't show the header after the second \part. Perhaps \getmarking is obsolete ? \setuppagenumbering[way=bytext,partnumber=no,location={margin},alternative=doublesided] \setupcolors[state=start] \setupinteraction[state=start] \setupbodyfont[ss] \setuppapersize[A4][A4] \setuphead[part] [placehead=yes, page=right] \setuphead[chapter] [placehead=yes,page=yes,before=,after=,] \setuphead[section] [placehead=yes,page=yes,before=,after=,] \setuphead[subsection] [placehead=yes,before=,after=,] \def\ChapterId#1{\setupheadertexts[text] [{}] [{\getmarking[chapter][first]---\getmarking[section][first]}] [{\getmarking[chapter][first]---\getmarking[section][first]}] [{}]} \starttext \part{Part} \chapter{Chapter} \ChapterId{} \section{Section} foo \chapter{Chapter} \ChapterId{} \section{Section} goo %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \part{Part} \chapter{Chapter} \ChapterId{} \section{Section} foo \chapter{Chapter} \ChapterId{} \section{Section} goo \stoptext -- luigi

Hi, When you add \nocite[Aucremanne2005] \nocite[Fabiani2007] before \section{References} these non cited publications will show up in your bibliography. (At least it does here with Minimals of 24 november) Regards, Robert Blackstone

Ctx & Lua: determination of the language being used
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 26 Nov '10

26 Nov '10

Hello, how to determine the current language being used in Ctx source via Lua? I mean soumething like: --- \mainlanguage[cz] \starttext AAA \startluacode if context.mainlanguage == "cz" then -- Do something specific context("Ahoj!") elseif context.mainlanguage == "en" then -- Do something specific context("Hello!") else end \stopluacode \stoptext --- So is there something like 'context.mainlanguage' or 'context.mainlanguage()' or 'tex.mainlanguage' or ...?
