desperate for xmlstrip
by Hans van der Meer 15 Mar '10

15 Mar '10

I really need to remove the leading and trailing whitespace from nodes. Tried in vain to get \xmlstrip (and friends like \xmlstripnolines) working. Just doing \xmlstripped{node}{lpath} is not adequate, because I want to order the output when a node contains several subnodes (using \xmlfilter for this). Below a minimal example. Tweaking the \xmlstrip in all sorts of way did not help. Hans van der Meer \startxmlsetups xml:testsetups \xmlsetsetup{test}{test|a|b|c}{xml:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:testsetups} \startxmlsetups xml:test \xmlstrip{#1}{} \xmltext{#1}{} No spaces should showup between nodes! \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:a \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:b \xmltext{#1}{} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:c \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \starttext \xmlprocessfile{test}{test.xml}{} \stoptext Input xml-file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <test> <a> This is node a: <b> :Node b: </b> <c> :Node c: </c> </a> </test> The result:

oldstyle numbers in TeXGyre fonts
by Thomas A. Schmitz 15 Mar '10

15 Mar '10

Hi all, Hans, is there or can we have an easy, fast way of setting up the TeXGyre fonts so that they use oldstyle numbers by default? I think this would be attractive at least for the serif fonts termes, pagella, schola, which all have this feature. All best Thomas

text in current node only
by Hans van der Meer 15 Mar '10

15 Mar '10

How can I restrict the text to that in the current node only. Calling \xmltext{#1}{} gives me not only the text in the current node, but also the text in its subnodes. The latter I want to suppress. Hans van der Meer

not printable pdf
by R. Bastian 15 Mar '10

15 Mar '10

Hello, I join a minimal example (ex0.tex) texexec (version 6.2.1) and context (2009.10.02) compile and the PDf is visible (xpdf and kpdf) but it is not printable (lpr -P HP-5MP ...) The same text in his Latex-form is printed (after pdflatex), so I think that there is a bug in the PDF produced by context | texexec. Can you help me? -- René Bastian www.pythoneon.org www.musiques-rb.org http://www.soundsurvey.org.uk/

where \xmlnofelements
by Hans van der Meer 15 Mar '10

15 Mar '10

Here \xmlnofelements (seen in the refman) gives ! Undefined control sequence. \@@su:xml:case:processing ...fnum \xmlnofelements Has this macro disappeared? Best replacement? I would like to switch on a node having other nodes in it besides text content. Hans van der Meer ConTeXt ver: 2010.03.10 23:47 MKIV fmt: 2010.3.11 int: english/ english

German ConTeXt Initiative
by Mojca Miklavec 15 Mar '10

15 Mar '10

Hello, Two Germans suggested to start a forum in addition to the existing mailing list. Even though it might be a problem to get enough active people to participate, I see no reason for not enabling the forum on the garden as opposed to using some arbitrary web page. Any thoughts, ideas and comments about selection of software for running a forum are welcome. (I was also thinking about HyperNews which is a forum with "mailing list interface".)

Thomas A. Schmitz: > That may be a lack of imagination on your part. If you want something that follows LaTeX rules, it might be a good idea to use LaTeX. It would have been a good idea to say so from the start instead of wasting my time. I'm going to try to go on using Context without wasting any more of your time. First, I have to figure out why your typescript gives me Latin Modern. -- m

Hi all, ConTeXt has many features but sometimes there is something missing, what feature or package do you miss which is already available in another TeX system or unavailable in any TeX system? Wolfgang

Also, it keeps the different kinds of shapes on independent axes, so I can say: \it 123 \in 456 \bd 238 \rm 909 to get the numbers set in: italic; italic inferiors; bold italic inferiors; bold roman inferiors, because I also have the weight and width on separate axes.
