\hangaround in xml mkiv
by R. Ermers 19 Jan '11

19 Jan '11

Dear All, I am processing a docbook xml file, which works great (thanks to Wolfgang's introduction to TEI). I have some images and I want the text before and after them to wrap around. This can be achieved through the command \starthangaround .. \stoparound. Since the text that is to wrap around must be put between commands, I cannot attach the image to the figure/graphic tags that are within that text. The figure tag does not allow the para tag to be inserted, nor do other approprate media tags. Instead I attached them to the attribute 'role' of the para tag: <para role="dolce1">abcdef abcef</para> In the environment file I specified this: \xmlsetsetup{#1}{//para[@role]}{xml:chapter:para:role} The hangaround environment is put in the accompanying startxmlsetups: \startxmlsetups xml:chapter:para:role \starthangaround{\externalfigure[\xmlatt{#1}{role}]} \xmlflush{#1} \stophangaround \stopxmlsetups I also added an \xmlflush, assuming that the text itself is processed there. In a rough sense this works. There is a white angle in the text for the image. However, the image itself slides away. I am not sure what is going wrong. Has anybody got a clue? Thanks! Regards, Robert

\definetyping to avoid wrapping lines
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 19 Jan '11

19 Jan '11

Hello, is there a way how to disable wrapping (breaking) very long lines being processed by \typefile? E.g. with a \definetyping option? Kind regards, Lukas -- Ing.

new tikz terminal for gnuplot
by Mojca Miklavec 19 Jan '11

19 Jan '11

Dear gnuplot lovers, Peter Hedwig is soon going to submit a patch to gnuplot that fully supports ConTeXt via TikZ output. Its advantage over ConTeXt terminal is that one won't need to recompile gnuplot in order to be able to use it (the gnuplot team at least accepted TikZ terminal if they didn't accept the one for ConTeXt) which is great news. I need to fix some tiny bits before I upload a new version to ConTeXt modules (however the files are here: https://github.com/mojca/context-gnuplot) I can also commit changes done by Peter to https://github.com/mojca/gnuplot if they won't be added any time soon (but if anyone else wants to test it, feel free to ask for the files). An example of usage follows below. Here's his message (the comment about TeX Live is related to the long-standing bug in TikZ for ConTeXt; I'm just thinking about uploading a patch for TikZ to TLContrib ...): I am sorry, that it stalled a bit, but I worked on it secretly ;) But now I think it is time to release what is done so far to anyone who is willing to test it. Here is a brief list of changes to the gnuplot CVS version: * support for ConTeXt and plain TeX * removed dependencies for LaTeX packages other than TikZ * needs TikZ Version >= 2.0 * better support for saving terminal options with gnuplot 'save' command * fixed "overflow" on negative coordinates that are outside of the crop box * merged all recent patched from murphy-md and Ethan Unfortunately it is the Context output that does not compile with the most recent Context version I installed from TeXLive 2010 and the http://tlcontrib.metatex.org/2010/ repository. But I remember it working with an older version so I hope this can be fixed easily ...

what about \numero ?
by pmlists＠free.fr 18 Jan '11

Hello, \numero is broken (additional "n" is printed) and seems to be obsolete (comment in symb-mis.mkiv). Should \textnumero be used instead, or what else is recommended? -- Peter Münster Contact information: http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

The code you gave, while not a fool-proof tool, works quite well. I expect I will be able to use it when figures will not be pushed away too far from their intended place in the text. I have changed "above" and "below" to "the previous page" and "the next page" respectively but that is a detail. It will still require careful proofreading anyway. Kind regards, Robert Blackstone

nice pictures for the wiki
by Jonas Stein 17 Jan '11

17 Jan '11

Hi, "What is ConTeXt" [1] has the most pageviews in the wiki (after the main page) But this page is not very impressive for new users yet. Has anyone some diagrams that explain the flow of context or things like that? I think i saw once a diagram about context <=> lua <=> tex Please upload your diagram / flowcharts. If they were created with dia or similar please make the source available too. Thanks a lot. [1] http://wiki.contextgarden.net/What_is_ConTeXt -- Jonas Stein <news(a)jonasstein.de>
