Hallo! I tryed the first wiki-example: -------------------------------- There are some notes \lilypond{ \relative{bes a c b} } embedded in this line. -------------------------------- With version 2.11.27 the lilypond option -b eps is unknown. With version 2.10.25 the above example is a 3-page output: (1) There are some notes (2) lilypond-output (3) embedded in this line Should I downgrad with lilypond? Or what else I am doing wrong?

This works perfect! It works as expected for fonts with no such glyphs (and could/should be added to default font features in my opinion). When tested with fonts including original glyphs (I was testing with IJ), the original glyph was used, so that was perfectly OK. > > Visually there is probably no difference in plain text, except in > > exactly the cases for which you're sending the tests (that's casing > > and spacing).

(\mainlanguage[nl], not when writing in English) One might like to treat every ij as a single letter and then convert both I and J to uppercase when asked for that. I read that Dutch keyboard includes the ij digraph (ĳ), but the Croatian/Serbian keyboards don't include those digraphs and none of the cp1250 and iso-8859-2 encodings have it, so everyone writes with "plain latin letters" - I doubt that anyone uses digraphs at all. (It would be almost as obscure and inconvenient to write them as if someone tried to write with "fi" unicode ligatures.) Yet the third group of people are the Czech/Slovaks with their digraph "ch". (You probably remember that one since you had to implement sorting rules for them for every variant and version of the sorting mechanism you have ever written.) Unicode doesn't even have place for it (http://unicode.org/faq/ligature_digraph.html) In Croatian, nj is always considered to be a single letter. (Even in foreign words, you would see "Isak Njutn" [Nj-u-t-n] or "Ajnštajn", so basically no worries about exceptions. Even if there would be some, one could always say {\language[en] a foreign word with nj}) > > Another few observations: > > - \word doesn't work in XeTeX > > no, neither in pdftex i think; new Currently it doesn't even work in luatex any more :-( > > - What exactly is \Words supposed to do (with non-first letters in a > word)? > > make first chars uppercase but only when the next is a char; (i changed > it a bit, defs were not seen (overloaded later by macros) > > > An extra challenge would be to get this work (but unless some Croats > > ask you for that or unless you have too much time left, don't bother > > about that - it needs slightly more than only lccode and uccode of a > > letter since there are three forms: one for lowercase [ljubljana -> > > lj], one for all-uppercase words [LJUBLJANA -> LJ] and one for the > > first letter of a word starting with an uppercase [Ljubljana -> Lj]): > > > > In Unicode: > > > > \word{?ub?ana} -> ?ub?ana > > \Word{?ub?ana} -> ?ub?ana > > \WORD{?ub?ana} -> ?UB?ANA > > > > \word{?ub?ana} -> ?ub?ana > > \Word{?ub?ana} -> ?ub?ana > > \WORD{?ub?ana} -> ?UB?ANA > > > > \word{?UB?ANA} -> ?ub?ana > > \Word{?UB?ANA} -> ?ub?ana > > \WORD{?UB?ANA} -> ?UB?ANA > > as long as we have utf it's already taken care of It's not. In contrary (written in latin without ligatures): \WORD{Lj} -> LJ (let's say it's OK) \WORD{LJ} -> Lj (wrong) \word lost it's functionality, so I cannot check. The main problem is that: - ligature lj is always lowercase - ligature Lj is uppercase, but only at the beginning of a word where other letters are lowercase (Ljubljana) - ligature LJ is uppercase, but only at the beginning of a word where other letters are uppercase (LJUBJANA) This works as long as L and J are two separate letters, but fails in the example where we have ligatures/digraps (even the basic functionality is currently broken). See http://unicode.org/charts/case/index.html (search for 01C7 on that page - while most letter only have lowercase and uppercase, those few also have some kind of "middle" case.) But again: I have no idea how many people use \Word and \WORD to capitalize words (I used it in some cases where I modified the macro to get really fancy beginning of words). Most would probably solve the problem "manually" anyway. (So don't bother about implementing until someone really requests it.) > > In Latin transcript (in case you have problems seing some Unicode > letters): > > > > \word{ljubljana} -> ljubljana > > \Word{ljubljana} -> Ljubljana > > \WORD{ljubljana} -> LJUBLJANA > > > > \word{Ljubljana} -> ljubljana > > \Word{Ljubljana} -> Ljubljana > > \WORD{Ljubljana} -> LJUBLJANA > > > > \word{LJUBLJANA} -> ljubljana > > \Word{LJUBLJANA} -> Ljubljana > > \WORD{LJUBLJANA} -> LJUBLJANA > >> {\setcharacterkerning[extrakerning]\input zapf\endgraf } > > hm, i'm not going to backport everything; keep in mind that i these > features are not font related; actually future mkiv versions will also > do dynamic feature change so ... (This has recently been added to XeTeX as well. So it doesn't necessary mean "backport the lua functionality", but more "map this keyword to that XeTeX feature". But I would need to check. Don't worry about it. If anyone asks, then maybe ...) Thanks a lot, Mojca

String in Luatex
by luigi scarso 27 Aug '07

The following macro is wrong: \def\TestC{% \directlua0{% \obeyspaces \obeylines code =[[ class Test(object): def __init__(self): self.a=[0,3,81,2,-1] self.b=self.a[:] self.a.sort() def get(self): return self.a,self.b ]] }} ! LuaTeX error [string "luas[0]"]:1: unexpected symbol near '\'. \TestC ...def get(self): return self.a,self.b ]] } I must preserve spaces and newlines. Any idea ?

Re: [NTG-context] Using mswincontext from the command line
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 26 Aug '07

26 Aug '07

Hello, I found that setuptex.bat (like any bat file) sets env. vars only locally in WinXp , that is, for current process. Other windows don't see them. TeXLive took another approach, of setting HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment keys, which act globally, and that's why it always worked well. By carefully studying the setuptex.bat, I came to the following registry entries [screeshot attached] But, in spite of endlesless remaking of format files, I always get the error whenever I compile anything: TeXExec | processing document 'FMHelp.tex' TeXExec | no ctx file found TeXExec | tex processing method: context TeXExec | TeX run 1 TeXExec | writing option file FMHelp.top TeXExec | using randomseed 1139 TeXExec | tex engine: luatex TeXExec | tex format: cont-en LuaTools | using format name /cont-en.fmt LuaTools | no luc/lua with name /cont-en LuaTools | LuaTools | runtime: 0.031 secondsTeXUtil | parsing file FMHelp.tui TeXUtil | shortcuts : 0 TeXUtil | expansions: 0 TeXUtil | reductions: 0 TeXUtil | divisions : 0 TeXUtil | loaded files: 1 TeXUtil | temporary files: 0 TeXUtil | commands: 18 TeXUtil | programs: 0 TeXUtil | tuo file saved TeXExec | runtime: 0.218 I'm convincied that I captured all env vars, and that's was right direction, because I have some progress up to the final point where it all fails! Why? Best, Vyatcheslav

Using mswincontext from the command line
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 26 Aug '07

26 Aug '07

Hello, I'm back with my old problem of using stand-alone windows context within command line. I was told that it is possible, but I still cannot figure out how. I have mswincontext extracted into drive I: " Directory of I:\context 26.08.2007 18:53 <DIR> . 26.08.2007 18:53 <DIR> .. 08.08.2007 15:03 206 cscite 08.08.2007 15:03 2 014 cscite.bat 08.08.2007 15:03 24 702 cscite.ico 08.08.2007 17:31 <DIR> demo 08.08.2007 17:32 <DIR> docroot 08.08.2007 17:31 <DIR> goodies 08.08.2007 17:31 <DIR> gs 08.08.2007 17:31 <DIR> perl 08.08.2007 17:31 <DIR> ruby 08.08.2007 17:32 <DIR> scite 12.08.2007 04:04 <DIR> tex 08.08.2007 17:31 <DIR> xmllib " When I run cscite.bat it sets some env. vars, and everything within the sci-te editor works, but nothing is accessible from external command line. For example, " C:\>texexec 'texexec' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. " How to get it work, scince I want to experiment with some nice text editor. (It is Code Browser, unique and free, and the author implemented ConText support for my request, now I'm making the lang file). Best regards, Vaytcheslav Yatskovsky

Math align question
by WN 26 Aug '07

26 Aug '07

Hi, Is there a way to increase the distance between the columns in startalign/stopalign ? I read the Myway on math align and there are examples where one can set the distance but only for pairs of equations. In the following code I have 3 columns but they are too close together and I want to spread them out. I tried to use the distance parameter but this setting is ignored. I also experimented with the startmatrix/stopmatrix but I need the sub formula numbering. Any help appreciated Wim \def\ms{\,} \starttext \placesubformula \startformula \startalign[n=3] \NC f(x) \NC = \frac{1}{2\pi} \int\limits_{-\infty}^{+\infty} g(y) \ms e^{i y x} \ms dy \NC (x \in \reals) \NR[calcb-chapter4-eqn5:i][i] \NC g(y) \NC = \int\limits_{-\infty}^{+\infty} f(x) \ms e^{-i y x} d x \NC ( y \in \reals) \NR[calcb-chapter4-eqn5:ii][ii] \NC \int\limits_{-\infty}^{+\infty} |f(x)|^{2} dx \NC = \frac{1}{2\pi} \int\limits_{-\infty}^{+\infty} \Big| g(y) \Big|^{2} \ms d y \NC \quad \NR[calcb-chapter4-eqn5:iii][iii] \stopalign \stopformula \stoptext
