\doifmodeselse?
by Gerben Wierda 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

Using --mode or --modes with texexec sets up modes which can be used in the files to parse different parts. For that I use \doifmodeelse{}{}{} But combining various modes in one \doiffmodeelse would be handy. e.g. (pseudocode) if mode is workinprogress or test or the other way around if mode is all or editor So I would like something like \doifmodeselse{all,editor) or even better booleans \doiffmodeselse{not test or editor} so I do not need to build a large setup of nested \ifmodeelse This is not in ConTeXt currently. Would it be easy to program such a multiple modes selector? G

(Incidentally, I configured the finder so that it shows the ‘hidden’ files and directories, like /usr, too.) Now about installing and configuring minimals I went through all steps described on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals/Mac_Installationup till step 5 of ‘configuring’, which is: Step 5. In Terminal, type context --make and press Enter/Return. This yields: MtxRun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua' Then I cd-ed stepwuse up to /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua, after each cd trying to perform step 5, and then finally I got: MtxRun | running command: luatools --make --compile cont-en LuaTools | no tex file with name: cont-en.tex LuaTools | LuaTools | runtime: 0.008 seconds MtxRun | running command: luatools --make --compile cont-nl LuaTools | no tex file with name: cont-nl.tex LuaTools | LuaTools | runtime: 0.009 seconds MtxRun | running command: luatools --make --compile mptopdf LuaTools | no tex file with name: mptopdf.tex LuaTools | LuaTools | runtime: 0.013 seconds MtxRun | running command: luatools --make --compile plain LuaTools | no tex file with name: plain.tex LuaTools | LuaTools | runtime: 0.008 seconds MtxRun | total runtime: 0.168 But for example cont-en.tex does exist on my Mac and it sits in /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-en.tex These files are not found. So I am a bit at a loss at what to try next. Incidentally, step 1 of Configuring ConTeXt instructs me to create a file with a given line and save the file as .bash_profile, which, however, already exists. So I have added the line to the existing file. If this is correct, this possibility should perhaps be mentioned in the instructions. Thank you for your time and patience. Robert Blackstone

MetaPost graphics with TRT direction
by Khaled Hosny 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

MPost graphics inside TRT direction are placed incorrectly overlapping the text on the right, similar to what we had with \pdfximage (see the attached PDF). This seems to be unrelated to images issue since MPost graphics are inserted as \pdfliteral. I'm not sure if this an engine or macro issue, but I'm guessing the later. Changing the \startMPLIBtoPDF so that the \hbox where the graphics is placed is fixed to TLT direction fixes this, but I'm not sure if it is safe to do so.

Tikz and MKIV
by curiouslearn 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

Hi, I do not have the very latest beta of Context. I am using This is LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.35.0 (post_contextgarden.tex ConTeXt ver: 2009.03.18 21:58 With this version, I found something that does not work in Tikz when compiled using MKIV, but works when compiled using MKII. Is this a bug in MKIV that will be fixed soon, or is this due to some fundamental incompatibility between MKIV and Tikz that will remain until Tikz package is modified by the Tikz development team. \usemodule[tikz] \setupcolors[state=start] \setupcolor[xwi] \starttext \starttikzpicture \node (S) [rectangle,draw,text width=2in,fill=linen] at (0,0) {The "fill=linen" option works with MKII. But does not work with MKIV. If I replace "fill=linen" with a Tikz option,such as "fill=blue!20", everything works fine with MKIV}; \stoptikzpicture \stoptext (the quotes are used just to draw attention. Not entered in the actual code)

Spacing after \cite
by Aditya Mahajan 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

Hi Taco, Normally, while using \cite one does not need to worry about adding an explicit space after the command. So, you can write "\cite[something] says ...." rather than "\cite[something]\ says ...". But something has changed in core ConTeXt which has changed this behaviour. Consider the test file: \usemodule [bib] \setuppublications [alternative=num] \starttext Test~\cite[something] is wrong \stoptext I have two versions of ConTeXt. With ConTeXt 2009.01.18 (which has t-bib version=2008.10.27), I get (notice the space after [] and is) %----------- Test [] is wrong %------------- With ConTeXt 2009.03.09 (which has t-bib version=2008.12.01) I get (notice that there is no space after [] and is) %----------- Test []is wrong %------------- The behaviour is the same whether I use pdftex or luatex. There is no major difference between the two versions of t-bib. The changelog says %D \item Catalan translation of 'References' (10/11/2008) %D \item 'chapter' -> 'chapitre' in bibl-apa-fr (27/11/2008) %D \item Run bibtex via os.execute in mkiv modee (01/12/2008) So I am guessing that the difference is because of something else, but I cannot see any differences. Any suggestions? Aditya

more stretch
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

Thank everybody for indispensible help, esp. Wolfgang. I owe yuo a beer :) My project should be completed today, so it is probably one of the last questions. I have set up \setupalign[stretch], after which my document looks far more justified (no ragged right text edge). However, in some difficult situations I still get the problem, as shown on attached shot. Moreover, TeX compains about a lot of overfull hboxes. How to instruct TeX to relax and allow more spacing between words (or more stretching?) Best, Vyatcheslav
