Ruby 1.9.1 and non-ascii char parsing in .tui file
by Jose Augusto 10 Aug '09

10 Aug '09

Hi all, A few weeks ago I reported a problem with ruby 1.9.1, which was solved by removing the offending .tui line (Mojca and Hans AFAIR). The problem was related with the existence of non-ascii chars in the .tui file. Sadly it strikes again, now when chars with accents appear in titles (sections, subsections, etc...). The parsing of the line signaled below in the end of this message, from a .tui file, fails in ruby 1.9.1, but not in ruby 1.8.7. The error which is returned is also shown. If I remove the chars with accents from the section title all goes well. I'm using Mkii (--context=current). One of the advantages of ruby 1.8 over 1.8 is tht it is 3 times faster... However, ruby made lots of changes in string manipulation and storing when moving from 1.8 to 1.9, and that must be the source of the problem. I tracked the error to texutil.rb, line 1035: when /^c (.*)$/o then @plugins.reader('MyCommands', [$1]) but then i got lost in the Classes/Modules jungle :-) in that script. Perhaps it is this this procedure, in line 403 of texutil.rb, which triggers the error? def MyCommands::reader(logger,data) @@commands.push(data.shift+data.collect do |d| "\{#{d}\}" end.join) end Thx for your support in advance. If I can help in the solution of the problem please direct me in the task. I have some experience with ruby (I started using it when the 1st pickaxe book edition was published, around 2001) and with perl. But not with Lua :-)... Although I read alraedy quite a lot of Roberto's Lua book, I didn't started coding in Lua yet :-) Kind Regards J.

\setupfigures does not exist???
by Xan 10 Aug '09

10 Aug '09

Hi, In the manual (page 273) mentions that we can fix figures parameters with \setupfigures, but when I put that, I receive the following error: ! Undefined control sequence. l.233 \setupfigures [before={\blank[big]},after={\blank[big]}] ?x Is this a typo of the manual or bug of software? Thanks, Xan.

back to Context
by Ciro Soto 09 Aug '09

09 Aug '09

I started a small project of ~100 pages and tried to do it with Scribus since it required pictures, inserts, etc. I found that Scribus was not going to be able to handle the task so easily. So I am back to Context. Here is my task: in the right pages, I want the text (~50 pages of text) and in the left pages I would like a picture and a quotation coming from the right page (this quotation I am willing to do manually). My question is, how do I make one \setuplayout for the odd pages, and another for the even pages? I may use pictures that bleed over the upper left corner of the left page. I used the option \placefigure [opposite], which puts the picture in the opposite page, very nice. However, I have two problems with it: it may put the picture in the right page (opposite to the text in the left page), and I can't make the picture bleed because my \setuplayout is for both pages. I can work with what I have done so far, but I wonder if my task is possible with the current Context macros. thank you Ciro -- Links of your interest: http://www-personal.engin.umd.umich.edu/~cirosoto/ http://www.TheGuitarMakerExploration.com https://www.createspace.com/3392936

Hi, when I use \indenting [yes, next, big] there is no space between a text and a formula (MKII only) BTW, what is the difference between \indenting and \setupindenting ? \indenting [yes, next, big] \starttext Watch the space between this line and the formula. \startformula E = m c^2 \stopformula \stoptext

Hi Hans, the latest beta is unabel to load external modules. luatools knows where the module is: luatools t-simpleslides.tex /Users/tas/texmf/tex/context/third/simple-slides/t-simpleslides.tex And yet, it claims it's unable to find it (after saying it has loaded the module): system : module simpleslides.tex loaded !

correction of the question about \useURL
by rene hassel 07 Aug '09

07 Aug '09

Hello Members, I have a problem with the use of \useURL \useURL[pragma-document-url][http://www.pragma-ade.com/document-1.htm]<http://www.pragma-ade.com/document-1.htm%5D%5B%5D%5Bpragma-document> [][pragma-document] with \from[pragma-document-url] I get http://www.pragma-ade.com/document-1.htm in the text, but not pragma-document \useURL[geocities-url][http://www.geocities.com/alex_stef/mylist.html]<http://www.geocities.com/alex_stef/mylist.html%5D%5B%5D%5Bgeocities> [][geocities] works well with \from[geocities-url] (In the first question I wrote: \from[geocities]) I get a reference to geocities. May be is the problem the difference between the .htm and the .html file? Then is the question how to handle .htm files? best regards, Rene van Hassel

fontfeatures
by Wolfgang Schuster 07 Aug '09

07 Aug '09

Hi Hans, what happened with the option to set font features with more memorizable names you mentioned in http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2007/028330.html It would be nice to write \definefontfeature[mine][smallcaps=yes] instead of \definefontfeature[mine][smcp=yes] where you have to know the four letter code for the feature.

texworks with context on linux
by Alex Lubberts 07 Aug '09

07 Aug '09

Hi, Yesterday I wanted to try out texworks for editing and typesetting my context documents. I installed texworks from the ubuntu launchpad ppa since '--goodies=texworks' doesn't work on linux-64, yet. Then I ran into a few problems: * The script mtx-texworks.lua wasn't able to start texworks because "unable to locate texworks". In the loop that's searching all the binpaths I put in 'logs.simple("%s",p)' and found out that binpaths only consists of one element: the complete PATH variable. I guess it means that there's something wrong with the function file.split_path, but I don't understand what's happening there. When I replaced the loop with 'p="/usr/bin/texworks"' texworks started as expected. * However the typesetting engines were not correctly set up. Texworks (at least on linux) seems to be looking for a file TeXworks.ini. The one in the minimals distribution is called texworks.ini. Renaming this solved it... * ... almost. In the TeXworks.ini file I also had to replace all occurunces of 'mtxrun.cmd' (doesn't work on linux, is this correct for Windows?) with 'mtxrun'. I wish I could help solve these points, but since I'm not much of a programmer I cannot solve the first issue, and the other are just a matter of renaming/replacing??
