letter/correspondence module
by Henning Hraban Ramm 03 Jul '09

Hallo Wolfgang! ;-) Since my old letter and CV environment doesn't work anymore in MkIV, I'm trying to reproduce it with t-letter. At the moment I struggle with the reference keys: \setupletterstyle[reference][ alternative=d, list={name,street,city,,phone,skype,email,,date}, ] \setupletter[name,street,phone,date,skype,email][ separator={: }, titlestyle={\ss\tfxx}, ] The keys street, city and skype aren't defined in your module. I found where the other keys are defined (and I guess I could mine in or use a similar approach in my environment), but I'm clueless, where the translation comes from - I grepped eg. after "Telefon" without results, and I think I looked into every file of your module. I guess it would be interesting how to define your own keys, maybe some IM adresses etc., also for other users. Would it be possible to use unknown keys just unchanged? I.e. if I say \setupletter[ Skype={fiee.visuelle} ] to get just "Skype: fiee.visuelle"? More questions will follow... I'll try to get my logo at the right place by myself before... Greetlings from Lake Constance! Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)

Re: [NTG-context] How to Determine the Current File Name and Line Number AND PAGE NUMBER in the ConTeXt Source?
by ivo welch 03 Jul '09

is there also a way to determine the current output page number on which typesetting is currently being made? (I know this is a difficult problem in LaTeX, and I presume the same is the case for ConTeXt, because it uses the same underlying TeX engine.) /iaw

Problem with \atopwithdelims & Co.
by Lutz Haseloff 03 Jul '09

03 Jul '09

Hi Hans, Hi Taco, Hi all, a couple of days ago I complained about not adapted delimiters around constructions with \atopwithdelims. With LuaTeX, Version beta-0.41.0-2009070222 (Web2C 2009), this problem persists. After reading the last luatexref-t.pdf I tried following: \starttext \Ustartmath\Ustack {a \atopwithdelims() b}\Ustopmath \startformula \Ustack {a \overwithdelims[] b} \stopformula \stoptext Greetings Lutz

Page Break Events
by Andreas Schneider 01 Jul '09

01 Jul '09

Hello, since that question has probably gone by unnoticed in my other posting, I'll ask more directly here: How can I react on page breaks (in MkII)? More specifcally: I need to reset a variable whenever a pagebreak occurs (atleast when automatic page breaks occur ... but it would be nice, if it also works for manually broken pages). The only thing that I was able to find was \insertpagebreakhandler ... but it seems as if this can only be triggered manually with \page. Thanks in advance! Andreas.

How to Determine the Current File Name and Line Number in the ConTeXt Source?
by Tad Ashlock 01 Jul '09

01 Jul '09

Is there a convenient way within a Lua block to determine the current file name and line number of the source file being processed by ConTeXt? For example: (test.tex) --------------------------------- \def\ShowLineNumber{% \ctxlua{print('current line number:', tex.current_line_number()) print('current file:', tex.current_file_name())}} \starttext a line \ShowLineNumber another line \ShowLineNumber \stoptext --------------------------------- With the following displayed: --------------------------------- current line number: 6 current file: test.tex current line number: 9 current file: test.tex --------------------------------- I've considered hooking into the open_read_file callback and tracking the file name and line number (via reader) myself. But that seems a bit heavy handed if the file name and line number information are available more directly. And since that information is needed for error reporting, I'm thinking there's a good chance it is accessible. (Just in case you're interested, the purpose of this is to be able to assemble code segments during the ConTeXt processing into external files with #line directives ala the C preprocessor. That way if the subsequent compilation of the external file results in an error, the error message can refer back to the line of code in the ConTeXt source file. This is part of the literate programming module that Kevin Robbins has been describing in another thread.) Thanks, Tad

Turning slides in unattended presentation
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 30 Jun '09

30 Jun '09

Hello, Is it possible to make slides (i.e., PDF pages) to turn automatically, say, every 10 seconds (and start again, in loop)? I suppose that Reader is in full-screen mode (Ctrl+L). I already have nice transitions between slides, making the presentation unattended is the main thing I lank now. Vyatcheslav

Conditional commands
by Andreas Schneider 30 Jun '09

30 Jun '09

Hi, I'm currently trying to make a command that outputs different text depending on the situation it has been called, but I'm absolutely stuck there (I'm not very familiar with TeX, so it's probably obvious to most of you :-/). It currently looks like this: \doassign[mycite][last=] \def\mycite[#1]{% \footnote{% \doifelse{\mycitelast}{#1}{Ebenda}{\cite[alternative=data][#1]}% } \doassign[mycite][last=#1] } The idea is as follow: if I cite the same citation two or more times in a row (e.g. Some text\mycite[chan_genetic_2005] ... more text\mycite[chan_genetic_2005]) it should only output the whole quotation the first time, and "Ebenda" all the other times. But as it seems, the \doifelse always evaluates to false and therefore outputs the whole citation every time. Does someone see what I might be doing wrong? Or is there even a better way to do this? Thanks, Andreas.
