lilypond newbie
by Steffen Wolfrum 29 May '07

29 May '07

Hi, just out of curiosity I wanted to check whether my context could typeset music. I found lilypond mentioned on the list, downloaded lilypond-2.10.23-1.darwin-x86.tar.bz2 from lilypond.org, t-lilypond.pdf from ctan and t-lilypond.tex posted by Henning here. When I typeset texexec test.test this test file ... \usemodule[lilypond] \starttext \startlilypond % Telemann, TWV 40:11 \version "2.6.3" \relative c’ { \set Staff.instrument = flute \key fis \minor \time 3/4 \partial 4 r8 fis’8 | fis4. cis8 a cis | fis, a cis fis a fis | b, d fis b d b | eis,, gis cis eis gis b, | a fis’ gis, fis’ cis eis | fis,4 r8 a’ gis fis | e gis, a e’ fis cis | d fis, gis b e d | cis4 \trill r8 cis b a | b dis e gis cis, b | a e’ dis fis b, a | gis4 \trill r8 } \stoplilypond \stoptext ... the result is ... name: dummy file: lilypond_2-lilypond-1 state: unknown What is missing?

Forcing a TABLE page break
by T.W. Burton 28 May '07

28 May '07

Is there a way to force a page break in a natural table? I tried the sample in the source code and it doesn't seem to work under MikTeX or under the standalone windows distribution. \starttext \bTABLE[split=yes] \bTR \bTD left \eTD\bTD right \eTD\eTR \bTR[after=\page] \bTD left \eTD\bTD right \eTD\eTR \bTR \bTD left \eTD\bTD right \eTD\eTR \eTABLE \stoptext T.W.

testing for broken links to external documents
by Matthias Weber 28 May '07

28 May '07

Dear all, is there a simple TeX/ConTeXt way to test in a TeX file whether a link to an external document is broken so that I get an error message if not? I am using numerous links to external files (on my hard drive) and I'd like to make sure that none of the links are broken without going manually trough them. Though not an issue at this point, and probably more complicated: Can one also check for broken links to web pages? I don't even know whether that's possible in Acrobat or whether there are tools out there that do that. Thanks, Matthias

Ruby version requirements
by Oliver Buerschaper 28 May '07

28 May '07

Hi all, I'm in the middle of putting together a native Mac OS X edition of ConTeXt Minimal ... for this I need to know which version of Ruby is minimally required by the latest ConTeXt release. (It wouldn't hurt though to know this for older ConTeXt versions, too ;-) Any help appreciated. Thanks, Oliver

Re: [NTG-context] Scite folding
by Zhichu Chen 28 May '07

28 May '07

Hi instanton, I think the following commands should be added: 1, \startXXX...\stopXXX pair 2, \ifYYY ... \else ... \fi structure 3, \chapter, \section, \subsection, \title and \subject, \topic, etc. IMHO, I'd like to folder \def\XXX#1% {...} and some \setupZZZ, \defineZZZ's. I hope you can provide some mysterious folding symbols, like %%--{{ something i like to be folded. %%--}} On 5/28/07, soft_share <soft_share(a)126.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > I don't know much about lua so I'm afraid that I cannot do much about the > code-folding via lua script.

Problem with setuphead and textstyle or numberstyle
by Tim Stone 27 May '07

27 May '07

I'm trying out the chapter heading method used in "In the Details" in chapter 7. I'm using exactly (I think) the code from the booklet (except that instead of \BigText and \BigNumber I'm using {\definedfont[Sans sa x]}. The style parameter to \setuphead works but neither textstyle nor numberstyle has any effect on the result. I've included the code I'm using below and would be most grateful to know what daft error I've made and can't spot. Many thanks, Tim Stone =====Code snippet below ============ \setuphead [chapter] [placehead=empty, header=chapter, style={\definedfont[SansText sa 3]}, %% This is the only one that is working - if removed, reverts to normal sized Serif textstyle={\definedfont[SansText sa 4]}, %% This isn't working - FIX ME numberstyle={\definedfont[SansText sa 5]}] %% This isn't working - FIX ME \definetext [chapter] [header] [\setups{chapter}] [] \startsetups chapter \setups[chapter:title] \setups[chapter:number] \setups[chapter:finish] \stopsetups \definelayer [chapter] [width=\dimexpr(\makeupwidth+\cutspace), height=\headerheight] \startsetups chapter:title \setlayerframed [chapter] [x=\dimexpr(\makeupwidth+\cutspace), location={left,bottom}] [height=\headerheight, foregroundcolor=white, background=color, backgroundcolor=darkblue, frame=off, offset=none, align={right,lohi}] {\hbox spread 0.5\cutspace {\hss \doiftextelse{\placeheadtext[chapter]}% {\placeheadtext[chapter]}% {\placeheadtext[title]}% \hss} \space \vskip .5cm} \stopsetups \startsetups chapter:number \setlayerframed [chapter] [x=\dimexpr(\makeupwidth+\cutspace), y=\vsize, location={left,bottom}] [width=\dimexpr(\cutspace-\rightmargindistance), height=\dimexpr(\cutspace-\rightmargindistance), foregroundcolor=blue, background=color, backgroundcolor=yellow, frame=off, offset=none, align={middle,lohi}] {\hbox to \hsize {\hss \doifmode{*bodypart}{ \placeheadnumber[chapter] }% \hss} } \stopsetups \startsetups chapter:finish \framed [width=\makeupwidth, height=\headerheight, background=chapter, frame=off] {} \stopsetups

Re: [NTG-context] Test whether variable has been set
by Elliot Clifton 27 May '07

27 May '07

Hi Peter, Thanks for your reply. I think I may have misunderstood the variable section on the wiki. I been using \setvariable to both declare and assign variables from my component files. When I should have been declaring them in the environment file first, right? \setvariable[namespace][key=DefaultValue], right? So how do I test for a (Default)Value? Sorry, I'm just beginning TeX programming I don't understand how to do this. Elliot

Scite folding
by soft_share 27 May '07

27 May '07

Dear all, Just come across this thread. The TeX folding feature in NotePad++ was adapted by me and originally the adaptations was made in SciTE. As I am not a ConTeXt user, I am not aware of the structure of sectioning commands in ConTeXt. Could anyone of you let me know of a minimum list of sectioning commands in ConTeXt so that I can modify the source code to make the TeX folding in SciTE and NotePad++ work also for ConTeXt documents?

Reverse itemize
by Aditya Mahajan 27 May '07

27 May '07

Hi, Is it possible to have a reverse key for itemize, so that \startitemize[n,reverse] \item one \item two \item three \stopitemize gives 3. one 2. two 1. three I thought that this should be easier than random items, but I can not figure how random key works. Aditya
