Issue in btx rendering
by śrīrāma 04 May '22

04 May '22

Hi, [my current version: 2022.05.02 16:19] With the past two-or-so uploads, btx output seems to be broken in some cases. Compiling the below example \usebtxdataset[refs.bib] \usebtxdefinitions[aps] \starttext This reference has a tag which is in camel-case: \cite[Nielsen2011_ChernoffInformationExponentialFamilies] On the other hand this reference has a tag which is lower-case: \cite[vaart1998_asymptoticstatistics] \placelistofpublications \stoptext along with the bibtex file (refs.bib attached here), only the second citation entry has a properly rendered bibliography entry while the first one does not. Notably, any bibtex entries whose tags are not all lowercase (ASCII) are not rendered correctly. Instead, in the log I get publications > unknown tag 'nielsen2011_chernoffinformationexponentialfamilies' in dataset 'default' Almost all my entries in bib files are in camel-case since I find that to be easier to read and it gives me a better clue of what the item is. With some recent uploads I noticed that in publ-ini.lua 'tag' and 'field' entries were string.lowered(). Upon removing those statements, I am able to get the proper output. I also have certain bib files where the entries are not at all in ASCII (so I am not sure what the code might do there, I did not check in detail). I hope I can continue to use camel case for the tags (if its not too much to ask): is there some additional setting that I should change to allow this so that the output is rendered correctly? Thanks, Sreeram

XML processing instructions
by Duncan Hothersall 03 May '22

03 May '22

I have a big set of existing XML books (held in a derivative of DocBook) which I'm looking to start processing directly with ConTeXt. (Up to now I have a system which converts the XML into ConTeXt code which is then processed, but this is inefficient and lots of the code is now unsupported.) I've had some success producing output, but my first real sticking point has come with processing instructions. The existing XML contains lots of processing instructions of the form <?capdm whatever?>, some of which can be conditional and introduce new data etc. But I'd be happy at this stage if I could just process the most basic one of them, which is used to introduce a line stop in a running paragraph of text. My best guess at how to do this was to use the lxml.preprocessor function to convert the processing instruction into an element, and then process the element as normal. But (a) my attempt didn't work, and (b) there may well be a better way. Minimal working example below, except that obviously the processing instruction bit doesn't work! Thanks for any help or insights. Duncan MWE: ------ \startbuffer[demo] <book> <para>A paragraph with<?capdm force_line_stop?>a processing instruction.</para> </book> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups xml:demo:base \xmlsetsetup{#1}{*}{xml:demo:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregisterdocumentsetup{demo}{xml:demo:base} \startxmlsetups xml:demo:book \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:demo:para \xmlflush{#1}\endgraf \stopxmlsetups \startluacode function lxml.preprocessor(data,settings) return string.find(data,"<?capdm *force_line_stop?>") and string.gsub(data,"<?capdm *force_line_stop?>","<capdmlinestop></capdmlinestop/>") or data end \stopluacode \startxmlsetups xml:demo:capdmlinestop \crlf \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \setupbodyfont[modern] \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{demo}{demo}{} \stoptext ------

fatal error again in LMTX
by Pablo Rodriguez 02 May '22

02 May '22

Hi Hans, as already reported (https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2022/105443.html) LMTX (from 2022.05.02 16:19) quits messaging only fatal error with such a sample: \starttext \startitemize \item one \stoptext I know that \stopitemize is missing above. But in real--world documents, this mistake may need hours to be fixed. Would it be possible that LMTX could provide more verbose information about unfinished \start-commands? Many thanks for your help, Pablo

process list items differently depending on position in list
by denis.maier＠unibe.ch 02 May '22

02 May '22

Hi, I need to process a comma separated list, and adapt the formatting according to the position of an item in the list (example below). Expected output would be: {\bf foo }, {\em bar} and baz. Is that possible? Can I somehow get the position of an item in the list? (My understanding is that \processcommalist and \processcommacommand apply a command to each list item, but there is no such thing as <position in the list>... I hope I'm wrong here.) Or is that something where using Lua would be a better choice? Best, Denis %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \define[1]\command {#1} \define\somelist {foo, bar, baz} \starttext \processcommacommand [\somelist] \command \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\getcommacommandsize not working in lmtx
by denis.maier＠unibe.ch 02 May '22

02 May '22

Hi, I've just ran into a behaviour that runs against what is shown on the wiki, https://wiki.contextgarden.net/System_Macros/Comma_Separated_Lists Maybe a bug? The wiki says you can use \getcommacommandsize to get the length of a comma separated list, but it does not seem to work. MWE below. Best, Denis \define\somelist {foo, bar, baz} \starttext \getcommacommandsize[\somelist] \commalistsize % Expected : 3 % Actual : 1 \expandafter\getcommalistsize\expandafter[\somelist] \commalistsize % Expected : 3 % Actual : 3 \stoptext

recursion in a table
by Henning Hraban Ramm 02 May '22

02 May '22

Hi, I was playing with the example from https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Scaling_Rotating_Mirroring_Clipping#Location… and tried to put it in a tabulate: \useMPlibrary[dum] \setupexternalfigures[width=3em,height=2em,frame=on,] %\def\TXT{\ruledhbox{\bf(XyX)}} \def\TXT{\externalfigure[pic]} \starttabulate[|l|l|l|l|l|l|] \NC\NC normal\NC depth\NC fit\NC broad\NC high\NC\NR \HL \dostepwiserecurse{0}{359}{45}{% %\expanded{\setuprotate[rotation=\recurselevel]} \NC{\expanded{\recurselevel}˚}% \NC{\ruledhbox{X\rotate[location=normal,rotation=\recurselevel]{\TXT}X}}% \NC{\ruledhbox{X\rotate[location=depth,rotation=\recurselevel] {\TXT}X}}% \NC{\ruledhbox{X\rotate[location=fit,rotation=\recurselevel] {\TXT}X}}% \NC{\ruledhbox{X\rotate[location=broad,rotation=\recurselevel] {\TXT}X}}% \NC{\ruledhbox{X\rotate[location=high,rotation=\recurselevel] {\TXT}X}}% \NC\NR} % \HL % error \stoptabulate This works, but \recurselevel is always 0. I know I must expand it (like in the original example), but I can’t make it work within the tabulation. In the first column, \expanded{\recurselevel} stays 0, and rotation=\expanded{\recurselevel} gives an error, while the \setuprotate line has no effect (if I remove "rotation=\recurselevel", of course). How would that work? Also, \HL doesn’t work at the end, and the second line of the error message makes no sense: """ I expect to see \noalign only after the \cr of an alignment. Proceed, and I'll ignore this case. mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 1 """ Hraban

Fuzzy paragraph when exporting to XML
by Aditya Mahajan 01 May '22

01 May '22

Hi, I am trying to debug a bug-report for t-vim: https://github.com/adityam/filter/issues/64 Exporting with trackers=export* gives a warning: backend > export > fuzzy paragraph: I have managed to narrow it down to the attached MWE (which does not depend on the t-vim module at all). Compiling it using $context --trackers=export\* lines gives the fuzzy paragraph warning. Any hints on how to resolve this? Thanks, Aditya

Dear list, I have the following command in one of my documents: \doifnotdocumentargument{no-metadata} {\ctxlua{document.transfer_metadata(document.main_file)}} Which would be the right way to write \doifnotdocumentargument in proper Lua? Many thanks for your help, Pablo

Problem with a defined colour in MetaFun
by Keith McKay 29 Apr '22

29 Apr '22

Hi, In the MWE below I define an rgb colour, myColor1, using random numbers for the r, g and b components. I then use it to fill a unitsquare the size of the page, which works as expected. In the loop that follows I then use the defined colour, myColor1, along with white and the variable r to create shades of myColor1 as in the MWE below. However, myColor1 is not recognised in the loop and seems to be replaced by black, although if I use a predefined colour, in this case BurntSienna from the crayola collection, it works as expected. I have tried a number of ways to get this to work as shown in the code but without success. I would be grateful for any suggestions.
