more xml in mkiv
by Thomas A. Schmitz 14 Jul '08

14 Jul '08

Hi all, I played some more with the new mkiv xml mechanism and am beginning to see the light: some things that turned out to be very difficult (at least for me) with the "old" mechanism are easy now. However, I still have a couple of questions: 1. I have this minimal file test.xml: <document> <itemize> <item> one </item> <item> two </item> <item> three </item> </itemize> </document> and this minimal environment test-style.tex: \startxmlsetups xml:mysetups \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{document|itemize|item}{xml:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:mysetups} \startxmlsetups xml:document \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:itemize \startitemize \xmlflush{#1} \stopitemize \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:item \item \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \starttext \xmlprocess{main}{\inputfilename}{} \stoptext When I run texexec --lua --env=test-style test.xml, I get output only for item "three," not for one and two. What am I doing wrong? 2. In every run, I get this warning: TeXUtil | check loading of file 'test-style', begin/end problem I don't see anything wrong with my files, though. Is this harmless? 3. I have a structure like this to get numbered labels: <lemmasection> <label>1234</label> <content> blahblah </content> </lemmasection> When I process this, I get unwanted spaces in my pdf; they disappear when I delete the newline and space between <content> and blahblah. Is there a magic command to make them disappear? Thanks, and all best Thomas

another bib-question
by Thomas A. Schmitz 14 Jul '08

14 Jul '08

Hi all, Taco, yet another question re the bib-module: I am wondering how to deal with place names (or other elements) in different languages. E.g., if a book has been published in Munich, I'd like the place to read "Munich" when the language of the document in which the bibliography occurs is German, "München" when the language is German. So is there any switch that would allow me to have something like this in my .bib- file: address = {\iflanguageelse{de}{München}{Munich}} Or do you have any other suggestions what I could do? Thanks! Thomas

rsync ConTeXt minimals through a firewall
by Piotr Kopszak 14 Jul '08

14 Jul '08

Hello, I guess it's possible, but I wasn't able to rsync the ConTeXt minimals via ssh. Any chance for tarballs available instead? Or maybe someone succeeded to rsync from behind a firewall?

TeX Live and ConTeXt MKIV installation and maintenance
by Taco Hoekwater 14 Jul '08

14 Jul '08

Hi all, There now is a wiki page documenting the setup and maintenance of mkiv: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Running_Mark_IV The page can still be improved upon (of course), so if you know of something that needs to be added or explained better, please do so. I wrote this page with the texlive 2008 users in mind, but I think most of it applies to the new context minimals as well. For the people not on the texlive list: After ample consideration and discussion, we have decided that texlive will not attempt to do any configuration of mkiv at all other than making sure the three commands (luatools, mtxrun, context) are available in the bin directory. Everything else is left up to the user. But of course we don't want every single texlive context user to ask the same set of questions again and again, so it is helpful to have a wiki page that explains post-install configuration and maintenance. If you are a mkiv user already, or willing to experiment trying to get mkiv running, please have a look at that wiki page. By the way, context on texlive2008 will be 2008.05.21. Mkii (pdftex as well as xetex) runs out of the box, no post-install intervention needed. But if someone is willing to do some extra tests, that will be much appreciated. How to beta-test texlive2008 is explained in ftp://tug.org/texlive/tlnet/tldev/README Best wishes, Taco

serious trouble with postponefootnotes
by Steffen Wolfrum 13 Jul '08

13 Jul '08

Hi, in a huge document (about 450 pages 1200 footnotes) I used postponefootnotes/flushfootnotes. Annoyingly this changed the page break for the entire book not only at the affected pages ... Searching the archive gave me a post by horaciosuarez_at_hotmail.com who had a similar problem in July 2007. Unfortunately he never got an answer. He used it in footnote conflicts with tables, me only in footnote conflicts with text, trying to avoid a bad page break. Now I ask the same: after using postpone/flushfootnotes is there a way to *reset* this again? Steffen

Strange error in using backgrounds with enumerations
by Aditya Mahajan 13 Jul '08

13 Jul '08

Hi, I am getting the following error while using backgrounds with enumeration. (Context ver: 2008.07.10 09:58 MKIV, LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.28.0-2008070423) The error depends on the frame occuring at a particular location on the page, so the example is not so minimal. The error is ! Missing = inserted for \ifdim. <to be read again> p \textbackgroundskip ->-4.5255pt p lus -1.13136pt minus -1.13136pt \dodostoptextbackground ...im \textbackgroundskip >\zeropoint \kern \scratch... \stoptextbackground ->\dodostoptextbackground \carryoverpar \egroup \@@stopdescription ...scriptionparameter \c!after \egroup \def \currentdescr... l.352 \stopcorollary ? ! Illegal unit of measure (pt inserted). <to be read again> p <to be read again> p l \textbackgroundskip ->-4.5255pt pl us -1.13136pt minus -1.13136pt \dodostoptextbackground ...im \textbackgroundskip >\zeropoint \kern \scratch... \stoptextbackground ->\dodostoptextbackground \carryoverpar \egroup \@@stopdescription ...scriptionparameter \c!after \egroup \def \currentdescr... l.352 \stopcorollary I do not know if it is an error in my setup, or some bug in context. I cannot check it on garden, since live is broken at the moment. Aditya

LinuxLibertine and math with LuaTeX
by Holzminister 12 Jul '08

12 Jul '08

Hi! With the help of this great mailing-list I managed to type text with the opentype version of LinuxLibertine. But the math font still falls back to Latin Modern (I think). Is there a way to get mathsymbols typed with LinuxLibertine, too? My code so far: % engine=luatex \starttypescript [serif] [linuxlibertine] \setups[font:fallback:serif] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [LinLibertine-Regular] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [LinLibertine-Bold] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [LinLibertine-Italic] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [LinLibertine-BoldItalic] \definefontsynonym [SerifCaps] [LinLibertine-Caps] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [linuxlibertine] \definefontsynonym [LinLibertine-Regular] [name:Linux Libertine O] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [LinLibertine-Bold] [name:Linux Libertine O Bold] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [LinLibertine-Italic] [name:Linux Libertine O Italic] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [LinLibertine-BoldItalic] [name:Linux Libertine O Bold Italic] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [LinLibertine-Caps] [name:Linux Libertine O Capitals] [features=default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [linuxlibertine] \definetypeface [\typescriptone] [rm] [serif] [linuxlibertine] [default] \stoptypescript \usetypescript[linuxlibertine] \setupbodyfont[linuxlibertine] \starttext Normal text. \startformula \alpha + \beta = 10 \stopformula \stoptext Regards, Eyke
