Load context format at runtime (from luatex)
by Mildred Ki'Lya 28 Oct '08

28 Oct '08

Hi, I would like to run (if possible) the context format at runtime. In fact, I'd like to create a custom format for my own document and I want my format to inherit ConTeXt (mostly because of utf-8 support). At the beginning of my document, I added: \input format And at the beginning of format.tex, I added: \input context But now, when I execute the document using (pdf)luatex, I get an error in some lua chunk: pdfluatex document.tex This is LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.25.4-2008091110 (Web2C 7.5.7) (document.tex (format.tex (/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/context.tex (/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/syst-pln.tex) (/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/syst-prm.tex) (/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/luat-env.tex ! LuaTeX error [string "luas[0]"]:1: attempt to call field 'luafilechunk' (a ni l value). \ctxluabyteload ...nvironment.luafilechunk("#1") } \ ...fproductionrun \else \ctxluabyteload {#1}{#2} \fi \global \everyloadluac... l.168 \registerctxluafile{luat-env}{1.001} ? If I use context instead of (pdf)luatex, it seems there is an infinite loop when context.tex is loaded from my format in the file /usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/syst-prm.tex If I remove the inclusion of context in my format (the \input line) I get another error (but I can't find where it is). The last lines looks like: context document.tex MtxRun | loading configuration for /usr/share/texmf/web2c from /home/mildred/luatex-cache/context/6300afb4995fe38c77e9b86ed1ef1028/trees/f7d1b3c25487ab1e1035aff1c53b90da (./document.tex ConTeXt ver: 2008.05.21 15:21 MKIV fmt: 2008.10.27 int: english/english language : language en is active report >> utilityfile: not present system : cont-new loaded (/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/cont-new.tex systems : beware: some patches loaded from cont-new.tex (/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/cont-new.mkiv lua : used config path - /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf lua : used cache path - /home/mildred/luatex-cache/context/6300afb4995fe38c77e9b86ed1ef1028 ) (/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/cont-mtx.tex)) system : cont-old loaded (/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/cont-old.tex loading : Context Old Macros ) system : cont-fil loaded (/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/cont-fil.tex loading : Context File Synonyms ) system : cont-sys.rme loaded (/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/user/cont-sys.rme (/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/type-tmf.tex) (/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/type-siz.tex) (/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/type-otf.tex)) bodyfont : 12pt rm is loaded specials : tex loaded system : document.top loaded (./document.top specials : loading definition file tpd (/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/spec-tpd.tex specials : loading definition file fdf (/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/spec-fdf.tex (/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/spec-fdf.mkiv)) specials : fdf loaded ) specials : fdf loaded ) (./format.tex) !

Do you know how I can create my format based on ConTeXt? It doesn't seems that easy :/ And I would prefer not to be dependant from ConTeXt (that is if I want to use another format for my document instead of ConTeXt, I want to be able to do that). And I also would prefer using the generic (pdf)luatex instead of context. Thanks.

--arrange vs. --pdfarrange
by Marcin Borkowski 27 Oct '08

27 Oct '08

This might be a stupid question, but: what's the difference between the --arrange and --pdfarrange options for texexec? Greets, -- Marcin Borkowski (http://mbork.pl) - Why are vim users so terribly egocentric? - Because they begin every sentence with `I'.

I noticed that the modules.contextgarden.net/bib page says you're editing the apa style. Here are two corrections I made. Perhaps they will help. 1. line 286: changed \insertpublisher{. }{.}{.} to \insertpublisher { }{.}{.} Why: prevents double periods after the title. It's what you did for several other publication types in the version you sent me on August 10. 2. line 384: commented out insertpublisher line Why: this is the entry for unpublished documents so I wasn't sure why it was there. More importantly, if it is left uncommented, there are two periods after the title. Thanks! mjg

A problem with itemizations
by Marcin Borkowski 27 Oct '08

27 Oct '08

Hi, I have a problem with \startitemize ... \stopitemize. Sometimes (I have no idea when, but this effect is fully repeatable!) I get a page break just before a \startitemize. It is nested (second level) and follows one line of another item at the 1st level. It seems that adding [intro] won't help. The problem occurs with [columns,two]; I don't know whether this has any influence - when I change the setup (in the preamble) the page breaks fall in different places, and all my 2nd level itemizations are 2nd level (and I have quite a lot of them). Any ideas? I know that the above is rather vague, but it's difficult to prepare a minimal example etc. Also, Hans, do I get it correctly that the itemization code will get rewritten in MkIV? If yes, is there any chance of having unpacked itemizations in 2 and more columns? And any chance of having an explicit column break (or a preference) in multicolumn itemizations?

Page arranging: 2SIDE, 2UP, 2DOWN, 2*2, 2**2
by Marcin Borkowski 26 Oct '08

26 Oct '08

What is the difference between the above? In particular, do I get this correctly: (*) 2SIDE just puts 2 pages onto one sheet, in the following order: 1 2 3 4 ... (*) 2UP prepares a booklet I'm not sure if I understand the rest. I tried 2DOWN, but got only even pages (?). And with 2*2 and 2**2 got the same (?) arrangement, but I'm not sure what it's for. Thanks & greets! -- Marcin Borkowski (http://mbork.pl) People can be divided into 10 groups: those who like the binary system and those who don't.

Textbackground with leftframe
by holzminister 26 Oct '08

26 Oct '08

Hi! 1) I wanted to color some text inside a columnset-environment. That works fine for text that stays in one column or spans two consecutive ones. But if there's a pagebreak after the first page, only the left column gets the background. From page two on everything is fine again. Any ideas how this comes? >>> \setupcolors[state=start] \definetextbackground[test][ backgroundcolor=yellow, frame=off, leftoffset=5mm, location=paragraph, color=black] \definecolumnset[example][n=2,distance=5mm] \starttext \startcolumnset[example] \starttextbackground[test] \dorecurse{12}{\input knuth \par} \stoptextbackground \stopcolumnset \stoptext >>> 2) And another question: Is there a way to get a leftframe activated in my defined background? Have a nice evening, Eyke
