texexec (and context) stops when using \externalocp
by Khaled Hosny 10 Dec '08

10 Dec '08

Trying to get some sort of 'implicit' bidi with luatex, I though of using an (extenal) OCP filter as it is much easier than messing with luatex nodes, and it respects TeX grouping. The attached example loads the do_bidi.py script as an \externalocp, it works fine with plain luatex, but not with 'texexec', using 'context' I get: MtxRun | fatal error, message: luatex: execution interrupted Any ideas? Is there a lua equivalent to \externalocp ? Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localizer and member of Arabeyes.org team

Context doesn't work
by Michael Talbot-Wilson 10 Dec '08

10 Dec '08

I've installed Context and attempted $ texexec fig3_2.tex The response is: the file 'texexec.rb' is not found setuptex was run and TEXROOT is correctly set. texexec is: #!/bin/sh texmfstart texexec.rb "$@" There seems to be nothing there which would enable the script to be located. Does texexec have to be changed to state the full path to the script? Does that have to be done with anything else?

backward-incompatible behavior of Palatino and modern
by Sanjoy Mahajan 09 Dec '08

09 Dec '08

I texexec'ed a one-page file that I hadn't compiled for almost a year (preparing for the next offering of the course). The font sizes increased, resulting in a two-page PDF file. The one-page result, which is what I expected, came from ConTeXt 2008.01.02 (MkII), for which I had selected font sizes to fit it onto one page. I couldn't find that release in the museum, so it was probably 2007.12.31 with my patches. I downloaded the cont-tmf for 2007.12.31, and it too produced the expected one-page PDF file. Whereas current versions produce a two-page file, either with 2008.10.31 from the Debian packages and with 2008.11.10 on live.contextgarden.net. I'm not sure which behavior (2007 or 2008) is correct. Below is a minimal example testfile.tex producing only a few lines instead of a whole page, but it illustrates the differences. With the 2007.12.31 version, the lines fits within the frame (from \showframe). With the new versions, the "Approximation" extends outside the frame, and the "The Art" gets split onto separate lines. Commenting out the "\setupbodyfont [palatino,11pt]" line makes the two versions identical. But the original example uses Palatino text, so I cannot do that for the long-term solution. I've attached 'good' and 'bad' PDF files. If the new version is correct, I'll retune the font sizes to make it fit, and it's no big deal. But I'm reporting the issue in case the example has exposed an unexpected change in ConTeXt over the last year. -Sanjoy ======= cut here: testfile.tex ==================== \setuppapersize[letter,landscape][letter,landscape] \setuplayout[height=fit,margin=0pt,width=fit, backspace=0.7in,cutspace=0.7in,topspace=0in,bottomspace=-0.2in] \setuppagenumbering[location=] \usetypescript [palatino][\defaultencoding] \setupbodyfont [palatino,11pt] \showframe \starttext \raggedleft \setupbodyfont[modern,54pt]\ss {\bfa 6.055J/2.038J\hfill The Art of}% \break \baselineskip=19pt% \setupbodyfont[modern,50.7pt]% \bfd Approximation \stoptext ======= cut here: testfile.tex ====================

how to get thick and thin borders working in tables (ConTeXt)
by Lars Huttar 09 Dec '08

09 Dec '08

Hello, We are using ConTeXt (with XeTeX engine) to typeset some tables that have borders (rules) between cells. In the previous edition of the book (which was not done in TeX), some of the lines between table cells were double, others single. This was done to show grouping of columns and rows. We have been told that in TeX, or at least in ConTeXt, you can't do double rules (we'd be happy to be corrected on that point), so we have been trying to use thick and thin lines to show grouping. Thick or thin lines work fine if applied to whole tables or whole cells, but when there are cells with thick rules on some sides and thin rules on other sides, it gets confused. For example, we tried (a) \setupTABLE[c][4][leftframe=on,rulethickness=0.5mm] to set the left border of the fourth column to be thick. This worked. But then if we use (b) \setupTABLE[c][4][rightframe=on,rulethickness=0.25mm] to set the right border of the same column to be thin, it overrides the thickness of both left and right borders, so setting (a) is lost. In other words, we can't seem to get a given cell to have a thick border on one side and a thin border on the other side. (Well, we could fake it in some cases by setting rulethickness for an adjacent cell, but that adjacent cell would then have to have thick borders on all sides.) Does anybody know if it's possible to do this in ConTeXt? or in TeX? Thanks for any ideas, Lars P.S. Incidentally, if you set the bottom border of row 1 and the top border of row 2 each to be thick, the result is additive: you get a doubly-thick border.

Building tables at runtime via --mode= option
by Bart C. Wise 09 Dec '08

09 Dec '08

I'm trying to build a table in a project that will be built based on a commandline parameter. Currently, I'd like to use the "--mode=<>" command. However, I've run into a number of snags that I have attempted to solve without any luck. I've included some sample code of what I would like to do. I can do all of what I need using \doifmodeelse, etc. However, I'm looking for a more elegeant solution. Any hints/solutions are welcomed! Problems: 1) \currentmode: I cannot use this variable in my file, but it works in the source code. Question: Is the mode option okay, or is there a better way? 2) CellWidth (below) needs to be a floating point dimension, based the size of the paper. So I need to divide the size of the paper (\textwidth) by a number and make sure it stays as a dimension. 3) I tried to use \getnumber[Rounds] to span a number of columns ( \bTD[nc=\getnumber[Rounds]]) but this would not compile. Here's the error: Runaway argument? Rounds=\plusone \ifnum \tblny =\plusone \ifnum \currentcol >\maximumcol \ETC. ! Paragraph ended before \getnumber was complete. Sample: \definenumber[Rounds] \setnumber[Rounds]{6} % desire: \setupnumber[Rounds]{\currentmode} % and verify that it's a number between a given range. % \currentmode comes back as undefined \definenumber[TotalCol] \setnumber[TotalCol]{\getnumber[Rounds] + 2} \def\CellWidth{0.625in} % desire: based on textwidth: \textwidth / \getnumber[TotalCol] % Needs to be floating point \starttext Rounds: \getnumber[Rounds]\crlf TotalCol: \getnumber[TotalCol]\crlf CellWidth: \CellWidth\crlf \bTABLE[align={middle,lohi},strut=no,width=\CellWidth] % Row 1 \bTR[frame=off] \bTD\eTD \bTD[nc=6] Title\eTD %desire: \bTD[nc=\getnumber[Rounds]] Title\eTD \eTR %Row 2 \bTR \bTD\eTD \dorecurse{\getnumber[Rounds]}{\expanded{\bTD\recurselevel\eTD}} \bTD\eTD \eTR %Row 3 \bTR \dorecurse{\getnumber[TotalCol]}{\expanded{\bTD\recurselevel\eTD}} \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext Thanks!

Luatex beta 0.31 update warning
by Taco Hoekwater 09 Dec '08

09 Dec '08

Hi all, Quick warning from me: if you update from the minimals this week, be prepared for some potential problems with opentype fonts in luatex. Because of the update of the embedded fontforge, there are some differences in the font table format that Hans and I have yet to sort out. While that will not take long, it will still mean the beginning of next week at the earliest (because Hans is teaching in Brno). Best wishes, Taco Taco Hoekwater wrote: > > Hi, > > I have just uploaded luatex 0.31.1, hopefully fixing a bunch > of compilation errors on various platforms, but with no other > visible changes.
