Waarom werkt \this niet onder ConTeXt?? In de file staat: \setupoutput[pdftex] \setupcolors[state=start] \setupinteraction [state=start, title={Try-Out Document}, pdfauthor={R.R. van Hassel}, colorlinks] \starttext \completecontent \chapter{This and That} Put \index{this}this this and \index{that}that in the index. \completeindex \stoptext met dat laatste eindigt de file. Schrijf ik alleen: \index{this}, dan verschijnt er wel een this in de Index maar niet in de tekst, mvg, Rene'

Re: [NTG-context] a question about ConTeXt + AUCTeX

Thank you for all the replies. I open "Aquamacs emacs" from the terminal in which "source .luatex" was executed. Then it worked fine. For other methods, I'll try later. By the way, is it normal to run "luatools --generate" and "luatools -- ini --verbose --compile ..." whenever I start computer? Or, I missed something in my setup. Thank you again. Best regards, Dalyoung Jeong

Some questions about the taspresent module
by Jean Magnan de Bornier 19 May '08

19 May '08

Hi all (especially Thomas) I have played these days with the last version of the "taspresent" presentation module, to see how it can be used as such and/or with emacs-muse. I have discovered that due to the \Maketitle macros, which did not exist in the first versions, it is quite easy to have a muse style and nearly everything works quite well. I use mkiv from minimals. I have a few concerns though: - On some of the styles, page numbering is like this: 1 of 10, 2 of 10, etc. Is there a way, as I have to write in french more often than not, to modify that in my tex file without changing the style file (which I prefer not to do)? - With the greenblue style the title page is produced with its layout, but no text appears on that page... - The embossed style doesn't compile, apparently due some missing font (Emblem); is it some rare font, and if not where can I find it? I have installed a file called "Emblem Regular.ttf" but that didn't change things; here is the error message (AucTeX): .................................. ERROR: Font \**Emblem**:=uhvb8r at 30pt not loadable: metric data not found or bad. --- TeX said --- <to be read again> \relax \dododefinefont ...ontspec {#2}\rawfontidentifier \let \localrelativefontsiz... l.1 ...t,top=\vss ,bottom=\vss ,frame=off]{\Emblem \color [c]{Made with C\CM... --- HELP --- You requested a family/series/shape/size combination that is totally unknown. There are two cases in which this error can occur: 1) You used the \size macro to select a size that is not available. 2) If you did not do that, go to your local `wizard' and complain fiercely that the font selection tables are corrupted! .................................. I will soon update the muse page on the wiki, but I wish these problems could be solved before :-) best -- Jean

oldstyle features and typing
by Aditya Mahajan 18 May '08

18 May '08

Hi, While using oldstyle features with mkiv, -- in a typing environment comes out as a endash. I would consider this a bug. For example: \setfontfeature{oldstyle} \starttext \starttyping -- A comment 123 \stoptyping \stoptext Another interesting feature is that numbers in the typing environmnet come out in oldstyle (they look nice, BTW). This is expected, and can be avoided by using a complete typescript and loading tt fonts with fefault features, and other with oldstyle features. Nevertheless, I find it to be an interesting side effect. Aditya

luatex and xml
by WN 18 May '08

18 May '08

Hi, I am trying to parse a xml file with mkiv to process a list of invoices (factuur in dutch). The xml file looks like this <?xml version='1.0 standalone='yes' ?> <factuur> <nummer>123456789</nummer> <datum>1 januari 2008</datum> <medewerker></medewerker> <regels> <omschrijving>Omschrijving geleverde dienst a</omschrijving> <bedrag>1500,00</bedrag> <omschrijving>Omschrijving geleverde dienst b</omschrijving> <bedrag>200,00</bedrag> </regels> </factuur> I want to extract and sum the invoices (regels). I managed to get things working (printing) but don't know how to assign these values into lua variables for the summing. The test code looks like this % engine=luatex \starttext \startluacode document.xml = document.xml or { } -- define namespace document.xml = xml.load("factuur.xml") -- load the file n = xml.count(document.xml, "/factuur/regels/omschrijving") for i = 1, n do -- -- here I want to assign the values returned by xml.filter into local variable amount -- xml.sprint(xml.filter(document.xml, "/factuur/regels/bedrag/position(" .. i .. ")" )) end \stopluacode \stoptext Kind regards WN

Re: [NTG-context] a question about ConTeXt + AUCTeX

Dear Thomas, Thank you for your reply. XeTeX+ ConTeXt is working after adding a command as you said. (customize-variaable) But Lua + ConTeXt is not working. If I do "mtxrun --script context ...", then it complains. %%%%%%% Running `Other' on `test-lua' with ``mtxrun --script context %t'' MtxRun | unknown script: context %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% If I changed the command "texmfstart texexec --lua %t", then I got the following.

Maybe the system setup of yours is different from mine. Usually I run "source .luatex" first before running luatex. So my guess is that emacs couldn't know the luatex path even though it is known in another program "terminal". Am I correct? If so, how to apply environment .luatex to global condition? Otherwise, what are wrong in my setup? Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung Jeong

getting inside xhtml / mkii
by Jelle Huisman 16 May '08

16 May '08

Hello, I want to process have a rather complicated xhtml file with dictionary data containing lots of entries like: papa Eng daddy I tried to write some code to get the individual data elements into my ConTeXt-module, but I didn't succeed. This: \defineXMLargument [span class="word"]{\Mywordstyle{\XMLvar{class="word"}{}}} for example fails, it gives all the data within all the different span's, whereas I want to select the different data items using the <span class-attributes (and typeset the different items in different ways afterwards). Maybe I miss something obvious, but I would appreciate some help to solve this. (BTW: I use MKII for this project) Thanks, Jelle

Removing inbreakable whitespace at pagebreaks
by Wolfgang Schuster 16 May '08

16 May '08

Hi, I try to take care in my letter module to keep at least the last sentence in the text the signature together on the same page, this did work but I introduced another problem. To get no linebreak between my two sections I used a nonbreakable whitespace between both but my implementation has the side effect to keep the whitespace also if there is no signature after the text even if it the last vertical skip before the page break. You can see in the following example what I mean. \setuplayout[lines=10]\showgrid \starttext \blank[force,9*line] text \par\nobreak\blank[line] \stoptext The last line of text is moved to the second although it would fit on the first page, I could use twopassdata in my module to get the information if the \nobreak is needed on this place but I hope there is also a solution to remove the skip in the first run, maybe for MkIV only. I looked yesterday in the sources and saw \vspacing in core-spa.mkiv, I dont't know what this should do and was unable to get it working but I'm interested to know how it did work and what it should do. Greetings Wolfgang
