Macro question - uppercase
by Wolfgang Schuster 21 Apr '09

21 Apr '09

Hi, I have a macros which I use in a environment with uppercase letters but I want to define them in my module as lowercase with namespace and look for the best method to convert all of them from lowercase to uppercase, below is what I have for the moment, is there a better how I can do this (without \ascii)? \unprotect \def\saved!one{one} \def\saved!two{two} \def\savedcommands#1% {\edef\ascii{\csname saved!#1\endcsname}% \uppercase{\expandafter\let\csname#1\endcsname\ascii}} \processcommalist[one,two]\savedcommands \protect \starttext \ONE\ -- \TWO \stoptext Wolfgang

Okay, the "before={\testpage[] ...} seems to solve my problems with the hanging empty text backgrounds.

I sometimes use \definetextbackground[....][before={\testpage[3], .. other options .. ] The \testpage[3] checks if there is enough space to put three lines, if not it issues a page break. In most cases this gets rid of the hanging empty text backgrounds at the bottom of a page. Aditya

math symbol \doteq cause error in mk||
by Andy Wong 21 Apr '09

21 Apr '09

Hello, I use the context minimal with updating to lastest beta. when using $\doteq$ in my equation, texexec catch an error: ! Illegal unit of measure (pt inserted). <to be read again> = \buildrel ...mathrel {\mathop {\kern \zerocount #2 }\limits ^{#1}} l.3 Test $\doteq $ ? I check the definition in math-pln.mkii, the \doteq is defined as: \def\buildrel#1\over#2% {\mathrel{\mathop{\kern\zerocount#2}\limits^{#1}}} \def\doteq {\buildrel\textstyle.\over=} The problem seems caused by \zerocount. After comparing with the definition in math-pln.mkiv, I changed it to \zeropoint and texexec run successfully. Regards, Andy

framed text question
by Jos van Gisbergen 21 Apr '09

21 Apr '09

Hi, I have a question regarding framed text. To obtain framed verbatim text that breaks over pages, I use the macro \definetextbackground. I have encountered a slight problem, however: sometimes the upper part of the frame appears on the bottom of the page with no text in it (because there's not enough room). The strange thing is that if I comment out the setupcolors macro the problem disappears (in the example that is). I have included an example of this below. Run with texexec --pdf test.tex The version of texexec I'm using is: TeXExec 5.2.4 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texexec : TeXExec 5.2.4 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texutil : TeXUtil 9.0.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2004 tex : pdfeTeX, 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4) context : ver: 2005.01.31 cont-en : ver: 2005.01.31 fmt: 2009.1.26 mes: english Thanks in advance Trychius ---------------------------------- test.tex ---------------------------------- \installlanguage[en] \setuppapersize[A4] \definelayout[myCustomLayout][ header=10mm, % height of header footer=10mm, % height of footer topspace=8mm, % space above header bottomspace=\topspace, % space below footer backspace=25mm, cutspace=20mm, width=middle, height=middle, marking=on, % enable the marking of text grid=yes, ] \setuplayout[myCustomLayout] \setuptyping[margin=10mm, space=off, % Do not show space characters explicitely color=black, % Color of verbatim text ] \setupcolors[state=start] \definetextbackground[FramedText][ location=paragraph, rulethickness=0.5pt, framecolor=red, background=color,backgroundcolor=yellow, leftoffset=1.0\bodyfontsize,rightoffset=1.0\bodyfontsize, topoffset=1.0\bodyfontsize,bottomoffset=1.0\bodyfontsize, frame=on] \starttext in this story took place, some of the most important mines of the Scottish coal beds had been exhausted by too rapid working.

no executesystemcommand any more?
by Henning Hraban Ramm 20 Apr '09

20 Apr '09

Ahoi, with the latest beta I can't get my LilyPond module to work. It seems that it's not possible to execute any command. I tried \executesystemcommand, \write18 and the old \installprogram. What should work? As far as I can see, shell_escape is enabled. (And it worked before.) Additionally I tried to replace the texmfstart call with mtxrun. While this works: texmfstart --ifchanged="foo-lilypond-1.tmp" --exec bin:lilypond "foo- lilypond-1.tmp" this doesn't: mtxrun --ifchanged="foo-lilypond-1.tmp" --execute lilypond "foo- lilypond-1.tmp" probably because mtxrun doesn't create a md5 file.

missing command and wrong lists (index, ToC) in MkIV
by Henning Hraban Ramm 20 Apr '09

20 Apr '09

With the latest beta, ConTeXt doesn't know "\setupsectionblock" any more (don't know if it actually worked before, but ConTeXt didn't complain). Previously the lists stuff (ToC) didn't work, but that seems fixed now. But indexes are still a mess: Instead of page numbers I get some strange entries like "62.13.13", where the entry is on page 12: """ Inhalt 1.3.3, 2.4.4, 3.5.5, 4.6.6, 5.8.8, 6.9.9, 61.10.10, 62.12.12, 63.14.14, 64.15.15, 65.16.16, 66.17.17, 67.18.18, 68.20.20, 69.21.21, 1.23.23 Allen die willen naar Island gaan 4.7.7 Der Störtebeker 65.16.16 There were two lofty ships 62.13.13 """ This setup worked before: \def\TitelFrame#1{% \framed[width=\textwidth, height=7.5mm, frame=off, align={right,high}, after={}, before={}]% {\index{#1}\tfa #1}} \setuphead[Titel][page=yes, number=no, deeptextcommand=\TitelFrame] I.e. \Titel{Blah} should output the title "Blah" and also write it to the index. Instead I those entries seem collected in a "Inhalt" entry - I guess that's somehow caused by my combined list "inhalt": \definecombinedlist [inhalt] [Titel, TitelKlein, TitelNoPage] [level=Titel, placehead=yes, criterium=all, alternative=b, offset=none] \setupcombinedlist [inhalt] [partnumber=no] What can I do?
