markup format ---> ConTeXt
by Gour 06 Jun '08

06 Jun '08

Hi! At the moment I use Emacs Muse for writing my study notes which I then have to submit as *.doc file (muse --> html -> OO --> doc). I like it 'cause it enables me to combine all the notes and convert into ConTeXt later. However, the only disadvantage of it is that Muse markup is tied to Emacs editor and not so popular for those using other editors. Therefore I am considering some other 'easy' markup with the ConTeXt back-end. Some of the more popular markup-formats are AsciiDoc (http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/index.html) and reStructuredText (http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html) but according to what I see both are missing ConTeXt back-end (latex only) :-( Any suggestion for 'popular' markup with ConTexT back-end? Sincerely, Gour -- Gour | Zagreb, Croatia | GPG key: C6E7162D ----------------------------------------------------------------

Hi all, why \setupheader[text][after=\thinrule] and \setupfooter[text][before=\textrule] both work, but \setupfooter[text][before=\thinrule] doesn't work? Cheers -- Diego Depaoli

Re: [NTG-context] several warnings after updating ConTeXt and LM fonts
by Dalyoung Jeong 04 Jun '08

04 Jun '08

Dear Mojca, Thank you for your instruction. After updating XeTeX binaries, warnings are disappeared but a new one. ** WARNING ** Could not open config file "dvipdfmx.cfg". I added the line "TEXFONTSMAPS.dvipdfmx = .;$TEXMF........" in texmf.cnf below the line TEXFONTSMAPS = .;$TEXMF/Font/,ap/..." However, the same warning message still remains. I checked the lm-math.map and lm-rm.map in the folder ../dvipdfm/ context/ as Wolfgang suggested. They are there. How to remove this new warning message? Thank you again. Best regards, Dalyoung

xml in mkiv
by Hans Hagen 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

Hi, [if you never use xml or don't use mkiv, you can skip this message] Currently in mkiv, the mkii method of xml is active at the same time; however, this is not always what you want and eventually i suppose that mkiv xml usage will replace mkii usage (i'm thinking of at some point making the old stream based xml method a module for mkiv) anyhow, one of aspects we need to deal with is mixed usage of documents, more about that later the latest beta has a \setupxml command with the following options (there are a few more): \setupxml[\c!method=mkii] % mixed mkiv and mkii \setupxml[\c!method=mkiv,\c!default=] % mkiv only \setupxml[\c!method=mkiv,\c!default=\v!none] % mkiv only, undefined -> hidden \setupxml[\c!method=mkiv,\c!default=\v!text] % mkiv only, undefined -> text the tricky part is in dealing with entities. By default entities are resolved to utd code, which means that <, > and & are part if the normal text stream. This is tricky because in mkii a dangling < or & gives an error. However, in mkii mode (i.e. mixed mode), these three characters are remapped to some place safe (the location in the unicode table will change once we have active chars in the private planes). i used this test: % \defineXMLenvironment[y]{(}{)} % % \startxmlsetups x % /\xmlflush{#1}/ % \stopxmlsetups % % \startxmlsetups xx % \xmlsetsetup{main}{x}{*} % \stopxmlsetups % % \xmlregistersetup{xx} % % \startbuffer % <x>a <&><y>{b}</y> c</x> % \stopbuffer Another change is that 'context --env=bla whatever.xml' will use mkiv xml mode unless the --mkii flag is passed. The alternative is rather ugly and tricky overloading of the traditional XML macros, an option that i rejected. An example that demonstrates mkiv usage is: context --ctx=x-ldx l-dimen.lua this will produce the documentation of l-dimen.lua and does a transformation as defined in the ctx file. Eventually all those texexec goodies (--pdfwhatever) will become such scripts combined with styles. Much is experimental and I will add more control over specific documents. Take for instance (from x-ldx.tex): \usemodule[mathml] \xmlregisterdocumentsetup{ldx}{xml:mml:define} \xmlregisterdocumentsetup{ldx}{xml:ldx:define} \xmlregisterns{ldx}{ldx} \startxmlsetups xml:ldx:define \xmlgrab {\xmldocument} {ldx:*} {*} \stopxmlsetups This associates the ldx definitions to the document but also mathml. I'm converting all traditional xml handling used in the core into mkiv handling (e.g. clt handling is already converted; clt deals with remapping filesnames into the ones that come out of preprocessing, as for instance in the ldx module).

typebuffer extra line
by Hans van der Meer 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

Exercising \typebuffer gives an extra blank line afterwards. See the following minimal example. How can I prevent this extra line? Using: ConTeXt ver: 2008.05.21 15:21 MKII fmt: 2008.5.24 int: english/english Example: \startbuffer[A] Contents of buffer A. \stopbuffer \startbuffer[B] Contents of buffer B. \stopbuffer \starttext \typebuffer[A]\typebuffer[B] \stoptext Output: Hans van der Meer

TeX capacity exceeded
by M.guravage 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

Greetings, While updating my minimal ConTeXt instance from version 2008.01.28 to 2008.05.21, the pdftex formats failed to build with the error: "./texmf-linux/web2c/pdftex/cont-en.log:! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [pattern memory=250000]." Has anyone else experienced this, and can you suggest a correction? Thanks for your help. With kind regards, Michael A. Guravage

several warnings after updating ConTeXt and LM fonts
by Dalyoung Jeong 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

Dear all, Recently, I updated ConTeXt using "ctxtools". I also install latest LM otf fonts and some map file for dvipdfm. After teshashing and creating formats, I tried a simple file. It worked well in ConTeXt, but in XeTeX+ ConTeXt, I got several warnings related with map files as following. However, I got a PDF output. How do I remove those warnings? I am using TeXlive(MacTeX). Thank you Best regards, Dalyoung stdin -> newinstall.pdf [1 ** WARNING ** This .map file looks like a dvips format fontmap file. ** WARNING ** -- Current input buffer is: rsfs7 rsfs5 <rsfs7.pfb ** WARNING ** -- Reading fontmap file stopped at: file="original- base.map", line=3. ** WARNING ** This .map file looks like a dvips format fontmap file. ** WARNING ** -- Current input buffer is: lmbsy5 LMMathSymbols5- Bold "enclmmathsy ReEncodeFont" <lm-mathsy.enc <lmbsy5.pfb ** WARNING ** -- Reading fontmap file stopped at: file="lm-math.map", line=7. ** WARNING ** This .map file looks like a dvips format fontmap file. ** WARNING ** -- Current input buffer is: rm-lmb10 LMRomanDemi10- Regular "enclmrm ReEncodeFont" <lm-rm.enc <lmb10.pfb ** WARNING ** -- Reading fontmap file stopped at: file="lm-rm.map", line=7. ** WARNING ** This .map file looks like a dvips format fontmap file. ** WARNING ** -- Current input buffer is: ucrb8t NimbusMonL- Bold <ec.enc <ucrb8a.pfb ** WARNING ** -- Reading fontmap file stopped at: file="ec-base.map", line=3. ** WARNING ** This .map file looks like a dvips format fontmap file. ** WARNING ** -- Current input buffer is: qcrb <qcr.enc <qcrb.pfb ** WARNING ** -- Reading fontmap file stopped at: file="qx-base.map", line=3. ** WARNING ** This .map file looks like a dvips format fontmap file. ** WARNING ** -- Current input buffer is: ucrr8v VnNimbusMonL- Regu "T5Encoding ReEncodeFont" <t5.enc <ucrr8v.pfb ** WARNING ** -- Reading fontmap file stopped at: file="t5-base.map", line=3. ** WARNING ** This .map file looks like a dvips format fontmap file. ** WARNING ** -- Current input buffer is: ucrb8r NimbusMonL- Bold <8r.enc <ucrb8a.pfb ** WARNING ** -- Reading fontmap file stopped at: file="8r-base.map", line=3. ** WARNING ** This .map file looks like a dvips format fontmap file. ** WARNING ** -- Current input buffer is: lasy5 LASY5 <lasy5.pfb ** WARNING ** -- Reading fontmap file stopped at: file="original-ams- base.map", line=1. ** WARNING ** This .map file looks like a dvips format fontmap file. ** WARNING ** -- Current input buffer is: euex10 EUEX10 <euex10.pfb ** WARNING ** -- Reading fontmap file stopped at: file="original-ams- euler.map", line=1. ** WARNING ** This .map file looks like a dvips format fontmap file. ** WARNING ** -- Current input buffer is: cmb10 CMB10 <lm-rep- cmrm.enc <lmb10.pfb ** WARNING ** -- Reading fontmap file stopped at: file="original- public-lm.map", line=68. ] 4818 bytes written Output written on newinstall.pdf (1 page).

Correction for \getbuffer
by Wolfgang Schuster 02 Jun '08

Hi Hans, The definition for \getBUFFER need to be changed because it use the undefined command \dodoprocessTEXbuffer. \def\dodefinebuffer[#1][#2]% {\iffirstargument % else problems \doglobal\increment\nofdefinedbuffers \letvalue{\??bu#1\c!number }\nofdefinedbuffers \letvalue{\??bu#1\c!paragraph}\v!no \setevalue{\e!start#1}{\noexpand\dostartbuffer [#1][def-\nofdefinedbuffers][\e!start#1][\e!stop#1]}% %\setevalue{\e!get #1}{\noexpand\dodoprocessTEXbuffer[#1][def-\nofdefinedbuffers]}% \setevalue{\e!get #1}{\noexpand\dogetbuffer [#1][def-\nofdefinedbuffers]}% \setevalue{\e!type #1}{\noexpand\dotypebuffer [#1][def-\nofdefinedbuffers]}% \getparameters[\??bu#1][#2]% \fi} Greetings Wolfgang

standardmakeup, frontmatter, bodymatter & page numbering
by Mojca Miklavec 02 Jun '08

02 Jun '08

Hello, I have a document consisting of title page, some introduction which should have pages numbered with roman numerals, and finally the real content \setuphead[subject][page=odd,style=\ss\bfb] \setuppagenumbering[location=] \starttext \startstandardmakeup title page \stopstandardmakeup \startfrontmatter \setuppagenumbering[conversion=romannumerals] \setupfootertexts[page \pagenumber{}] \subject{some intro pages} \input tufte \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \setupfootertexts[page \pagenumber{} of \totalnumberofpages] \dorecurse{10}{\subject{real content} \dorecurse{\recurselevel}{\input knuth} } \stopbodymatter \stoptext Now the problems: 1.) The second page starts counting at 1, while counting should start at page 3. This can be solved by using another \startstandardmakeup\strut\stopstandardmakeup. 2.) The last page says "page 26 of 27" - the total page number is indeed 27, but counting started on the second page, so it never reaches the last number. 3.) I would like the page number on the first page of bodymatter to be "page 1 of 23" instead of "page 4 of 27", and the last one to ge "page 23 of 23" instead of "page 26 of 27" There is some way=bychapter setting for page numering, but in that case there are no suitable chapters/sections available. Any hints appreciated ... Thanks a lot, Mojca

Buffers and commands with optional arguments
by Wolfgang Schuster 02 Jun '08

02 Jun '08

Hi Hans, I got yesterday a bug report for my letter module if the \startletter command takes no arguments. The following example show the problem without the module. \def\startletter {\dosingleempty\dostartletter} \def\dostartletter[#1]% {\dostartbuffer[letter][startletter][stopletter]} \starttext % This did work \startletter Text \stopletter \getbuffer[letter] % But this did create a error message from TeX \startletter Text \stopletter \getbuffer[letter] \stopletter One solution for the second text can be solved when I add a \relax after the \startletter command but I wanted a better solution. Because TeX mentions \flushbufferline in error message I tried to modify the macro and came to the following solution. %\def\flushbufferline#1% \long\def\flushbufferline#1% {\iftmpblockstarted \ifsegmentatebuffer \ifemptybufferline \immediate\write\tmpblocks{\string\stopbufferparagraph }% \immediate\write\tmpblocks{\string\startbufferparagraph}% \else \immediate\write\tmpblocks{#1}% \fi \else \immediate\write\tmpblocks{#1}% \fi \else \doifsomething{#1} {\tmpblockstartedtrue %\immediate\write\tmpblocks{\string#1}}% \immediate\write\tmpblocks{#1}}% \fi} The macro has to be defined as long and the \string in the \write command has to be removed. I made a few short tests and saw no negative sideeffects from my changes. Another problem could arise with a few commands in the letter environment if no empty line is written after \startletter. The following result also in a error message. \startletter \dorecurse{2}{\input knuth\par} \stopbuffer With another modification of \flushbufferline also this example could work, my final patch was now: \long\def\flushbufferline#1% {\iftmpblockstarted \ifsegmentatebuffer \ifemptybufferline \immediate\write\tmpblocks{\string\stopbufferparagraph }% \immediate\write\tmpblocks{\string\startbufferparagraph}% \else \immediate\write\tmpblocks{#1}% \fi \else \immediate\write\tmpblocks{#1}% \fi \else \convertargument#1\to\ascii %\doifsomething{#1} \doifsomething\ascii {\tmpblockstartedtrue %\immediate\write\tmpblocks{\string#1}}% %\immediate\write\tmpblocks{#1}}% \immediate\write\tmpblocks{\ascii}}% \fi} Could my seond or at least my first patched version of the \flushbufferline macro integrated into core-buf.mkii because I won't force users of my letter module to put a \relax after \startletter only because they use MkII. Greetings Wolfgang
