Files for verbatim output of Python source, zc.buildout and Apache config files
by Drazen Baic 16 Apr '09

16 Apr '09

Hello, I'm using MKIV and needed syntax highlighting for a few source and config files. I read on the Wiki and on this list that it should be pretty easy to do this in Lua and although I never wrote anything in Lua I just tried it. Maybe the result will be of use for somebody so I'm posting them to this list. I read on the Wiki that the best place for putting custom formatter files would be the context distribution or http://modules.contextgarden.net but as I'm pretty sure that some stuff is missing and I'm sure there are some bugs included I'm just posting them here. Would it be OK to put the files in a section on the Wiki to start something like a repository for verb-*.lua files where it would be easy to extend and correct them? I have created verb-*.lua files for pretty printing Python source code Apache http.conf and zc.buildout config files. For the zc.buildout files I used a simple solution and just defined the keywords that appear in a standard Plone buildout.cfg file. I hope to finish two additional verbatim files for XML and Shell scripts in the next days. As I don't have any experience in writing Lua code I chose to use the tex/context/base/verb-*.lua and the verb-cpp.lua files posted by Shen Chen in http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20081002.173802.460c46fe.en.html) for a start. Additionally I used the vim syntax files and the official Apache documentation. Here is an overview of what is covered: The verb-apa.lua file distinguishes between the following five states: - declarations - strings - sections (like <Directory> and </Directory>) - comments - options The verb-py.lua file distinguishes between the following five states: - all statements, repeats, conditionals and operators - strings (multi line comment wit ''' or """ are supported) - preconditions (import, from, as) - comments - builtins The verb-py.cfg file distinguishes between the following four states: - sections - variables - keywords - comments I've attached a minimal test file to show how they work. Just put everything in one directory and execute texexec --lua test.tex Regards, Drazen

MkII synonyms additional space problem
by Thomas Floeren 16 Apr '09

Hello, I have a problem with synonyms in recent context betas: At the first occurrence of a synonym in a document there is an additional horizontal white space in front of the synonym. The space does not show up in further occurrences. Minimal: % coding: utf-8 \enableregime[utf] \definesynonyms[testAbbrev][testAbbrevs][\infull] %\setupsynonyms[testAbbrev][next=\autoinsertnextspace] \testAbbrev[abs]{\sc abs}{Antiblockiersystem} \starttext Ausfall des \abs\ und \endgraf % +1 space Ausfall des \abs\ und % OK %Ausfall des \infull{abs} (\abs) \endgraf %% same behavior %Ausfall des \infull{abs} (\abs) %% same behavior \page Ausfall des \abs\ und \endgraf % OK Ausfall des \abs\ und % OK \stoptext ConTeXt ver: 2009.04.15 12:15 MKII fmt: 2009.4.16 int: english/english Same thing with the version from 13.4.2009. contextlive (2009.03.06) however does not show the problem. Is there any solution around? Thanks in advance Thomas

problems with TeX Gyre/t2a/sc
by Mojca Miklavec 16 Apr '09

16 Apr '09

Hello Hans, there's a tiny problem with the following line(s) in type-one (if we neglect the fact that Cyrilic is a bit problematic with Gyre anyway): \starttypescript [serif,sans,mono] [adventor,bonum,bookman,cursor,courier,heros,helvetica,pagella,palatino,schola,schoolbook,termes,times] [ec,texnansi,cs,qx,rm,t5,t2a,t2b,t2c,l7x] \definefontsynonym [\typescriptprefix{n:\typescripttwo}-Caps] [\typescriptthree-q\typescriptprefix{f:\typescripttwo}r-sc] [encoding=\typescriptthree] There are no t2a fonts with small caps defined, so simple usage like \usetypescript[times][t2a] \setupbodyfont[times] generates arrors. The combinations of small caps & t2* encodings simply don't exist and these combinations should better be removed. Mojca

Problem: Arrows in math mode etc.
by Tomas Kisela 16 Apr '09

16 Apr '09

Hi everybody, I've got problems with typesetting binomial coefficients and arrows in math mode on ConTeXt ver: 2009.03.27 08:00 MKIV on Win Vista. Binomial coefficients: The brackets stay small (usual size like in plain text), here's my code: starttext startformula {achoose b} stopformula stoptext In fact, it seems atopwithdelims() isn't working because the problem can be fixed by adding delimiterfactor=1001 defbinom#1#2{left(#1 atop #2right)} starttext startformula binom{a}{b} stopformula stoptext The second problem is much more bothering to me because I can't typeset limits in right way - the arrow under the "lim" is omitted (both ways fail): starttext startformula lim_{trightarrow 0}f(x) stopformula startformula lim_{tto 0}f(x) stopformula stoptext The commands leftarrow, longrightarrow, longleftarrow etc. aren't working too. On the other hand, uparrow works just fine. Please, tell me what I'm supposed to do to fix it up. Or is it a bug in this version? Thanks a lot, Tomas

Keep text elements together
by Uriel Avalos 16 Apr '09

16 Apr '09

Hi all. I'm writing a Multiple Choice test set in two-columns. I would like to keep the multiple-choice items together with the question both on the same page AND on the same column. Question 1 Question 3 choice 1 choice 1 choice 2 choice 2 choice 3 choice 3 Question 2 Question 4 choice 1 choice 1 choice 2 choice 2 choice 3 choice 3 (Apologies, it's easier to draw than describe). So I don't want the multiple choices breaking to another page or going to another column. How can I achieve this? I tried setting the "intro" flag of itemize but it doesn't work. Here's what I did: \item[columns] ... \item Question \startitemize[intro] \item choice \item choice ... \stopitemize ... \stopitemize but the multiple-choice items would still break across pages and columns F

How to set a layout shown in the attachment png file?
by Wei-Wei Guo 16 Apr '09

16 Apr '09

Dear all, I attached a PNG file to show the layout that I want. I want the text part narrowed and right aligned. I tried the following settings: \setuplayout [backspace=20mm, topspace=20mm, height=257mm, width=170mm, %textwidth=115mm, header=10mm, footer=0mm, rightmargin=0mm, leftmargin=25mm, leftmargindistance=-25mm,] The problem is that text is too wide. I commented the 'textwidth' for it will make the narrowed text centering. What else do I need to set? Best wishes, Wei-Wei
