Dear fellow gangsters, MkIV: \starttext \starttables[|c|c|c|c|c|] \HL \VL Sevens \VL \Use{2}[c]{Al-Yaʿqūbī} (d.~283{\sc ah})\VL \Use{2}[c]{Al-Munādī} (d.~334{\sc ah}) \VL\AR \HL \VL \VL ʿAlī \VL Zayd \VL ʿAlī \VL Zayd \VL\AR \HL \stoptables \stoptext In row 2, the space between columns 2-3, and 3-4 are not even. Is this a bug? If not, how do I balance them?

new beta
by Hans Hagen 16 Jul '10

16 Jul '10

Hi, I uploaded a beta to the website (so the garden will follow in an hour). Apart from a few fixes and experimental features, the most important change is in the language department. The following should work \starttext \setupbodyfont[xits,12pt] \setuplanguage[ru][patterns={ru,us}] \setuplanguage[en][patterns={us,ru}] \setuplanguage[de][patterns={de,ru}] \start \language[ru] \dorecurse{50}{Multilingual }\dorecurse{50}{русский текст } \par \stop \start \language[en] \dorecurse{50}{Multilingual }\dorecurse{50}{русский текст } \par \stop \start \language[de] \dorecurse{50}{Multilingual }\dorecurse{50}{русский текст } \par \stop \stoptext you can add more patterns to an existing set so \setuplanguage[en][patterns=ru] will use us+ru patterns. You can say {reset,ru} if needed. Also available is: \startexceptions[en] xxx-yyy-zzz \stopexceptions \hyphenatedword{xxxyyyzzz} ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

Re: [NTG-context] Custom metaobj object in context

It didn't occur to me, that I need to "input metaobj" as in your example. Thank you very much for that hint. My examples now work in ConTeXt with \startMPinclusions input metaobj; \stopMPinclusions I assume posting the complete example is needless now. Possibly, it might have been a good idea to drop a note on this in the metaobj manual, as it is not working without that input line. Stefan

require("module.so") on cygwin
by Peter Münster 15 Jul '10

15 Jul '10

Hello, How can I load a lua-lib in cygwin? Example: file test.tex: \startluacode package.cpath = "?.so" require("testmod") \stopluacode \starttext bla \stoptext file testmod.c: #include "lua.h" #include "lauxlib.h" static int l_test(lua_State *L) { int n = luaL_checknumber(L, 1) * 100; lua_pushnumber(L, n); return 1; } static const struct luaL_Reg mylib[] = {{"test100", l_test}, {NULL, NULL}}; int luaopen_testmod(lua_State *L) { luaL_register(L, "testmod", mylib); return 1; } file testmod.so generated under cygwin with: gcc -shared -o testmod.so testmod.c /usr/lib/liblua.dll.a The problem: "context test" hanges after "language en is active". TIA for any help! Cheers, Peter -- Contact information: http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

Custom metaobj object in context
by Stefan Müller 15 Jul '10

15 Jul '10

Hi, I just tried to build my own object in metaobj but for some reason I cannot figure out it does not work. I tried the example from the metaobj manual in a tex document (it works in a metapost file): \startuseMPgraphic{objecttest} vardef newSegment@#= assignObj(@#,"Segment"); ObjPoint a,b; ObjCode "@#b-@#a=(1cm,2cm)"; enddef; \stopuseMPgraphic When processing this with context (MkIV) I get ! Illegal parameter number in definition of \@MPG@objecttest. <to be read again> = <argument> vardef newSegment@##= assignObj(@##,"Segment"); ObjPoint a,b; Ob... \dostartuseMPgraphic ...leuseMPgraphic {#1}{#2}{#3 }} l.7 \stopuseMPgraphic My first wild guess is that it has something to do with the "evil" @-symbol. But even if this is the case I don't know what to do to fix this. Any help appreciated and thank you very much in advance. Stefan.

Return value of context call
by Marco 14 Jul '10

14 Jul '10

Hi, when there's a mistake in the context code then the context call returns »1«. When there's a mistake in the metapost code then the context call returns »0«. This is annoying for me, since I use the return value as indicator for my pdf reader to refresh. This seems like a bug to me. Is there a workaround? Best regards Marco
