Thank you very much Peter. I've inserted these code and when I open my pdf file in Acrobat Reader, it crashed :(. But this is not a big deal, I modified it and it's working, but it only tells me that: do_digit(7) at page 0 and the field never changes. I guess I have to specify some link between the JavaScript variant and the ConTeXt. Can you give me just one simplest example that shows JavaScript code var tempstring = "Yes"; in pdf file? Or you could think I'm very boring so can you just suggest some materials that I can find these techniques?

If you work with JavaScript you should open the JaveScript Debugger (CTRL-J in Acrobat; in the Adobe Reader hit CTRL-K and check "Show console on errors and messages" in the JavaScript categorie) to see the warnings and error messages. You also should insert some log messages in your code. For example console.println("do_digit("+d+") at page "+[this.pageNum]); at the start of your function do_digit. This helps a lot to see what is going on.

index page range bug
by Jason Grout 06 Sep '06

06 Sep '06

Hans (or whoever could change this), When using startregister/stopregister commands, if the range is only one one page, then while both a [f] and a [t] are written to the tui file, only one \registerfrom command is put in the tuo file. If there is only one range, it seems like the software deals with it nicely. However, if there are two ranges (like in the example below), then the index incorrectly assumes that the first \registerfrom command in the tuo file corresponds to the \registerto command. Here's an example test.tex: \setuppapersize [letter][letter] \starttext \input knuth KNUTH START\startregister[index][knuthrange1]{Knuth} \input knuth KNUTH END\stopregister[index][knuthrange1] \dorecurse{10}{\input zapf } KNUTH START\startregister[index][knuthrange2]{Knuth} \dorecurse{10}{\input knuth } KNUTH END\stopregister[index][knuthrange2] \completeindex \stoptext test.tui: r f {index} {1} {} {Knuth} {2--0-0-0-0-0-0-0--1} {1} r t {index} {2} {} {Knuth} {2--0-0-0-0-0-0-0--1} {1} r f {index} {3} {} {Knuth} {2--0-0-0-0-0-0-0--3} {3} r t {index} {4} {} {Knuth} {2--0-0-0-0-0-0-0--5} {5} test.tuo: \registerentrya{index}{Knuth} \registerfrom{index}{,}{1}{2--0-0-0-0-0-0-0--1}{1} \registerfrom{index}{,}{3}{2--0-0-0-0-0-0-0--3}{3} \registerto{index}{,}{4}{2--0-0-0-0-0-0-0--5}{5} and the index reads "Knuth 1--5", but it should read "Knuth 1, 3--5" My guess is the problem lies in the line in texutil.rb: if copied || ! ((lastpage == entry.page) && \ (lastrealpage == entry.realpage)) then (sorry, that was one line before my mail program wrapped it). Since the ending [t] reference for the first \stopregister command is on the same page as the first one, the whole section outputting a \registerto command to the tuo file is skipped. Instead, how about making the code check to see if we have a range that ends on the same page as it started? If it does, then just insert a \registerpage command instead of a \registerfrom command. I've corrected this in the perl version (I had an old version of ConTEXt before today, otherwise I would have worked on the ruby version). I also added support for nesting ranges, which I then discovered weren't supported anyway. (I also had to change the sort order on @RegisterEntries so that [f] and [t] entries would be consecutive, instead of all the [f] entries preceding the [t] entries, but it looks like that was fixed already). Here's my code from the perl texutil (with a bunch of comments from me): { # print "$LastPage / $Page // $LastRealPage / $RealPage\n" ; $NextEntry = "{$Class}{$PreviousA}{$PreviousB}{$PreviousC}{$PageHow,$TextHow}" ; $SavedLine = "{$Class}{$PageHow,$TextHow}{$Location}{$Page}{$RealPage}\n" ; # If we are starting a new level, start our nesting over. # This will completely ignore the last non-properly # nested result in the previous heading. if($Copied) { $NestingLevel=0; $TopLevelFromPage=""; $TopLevelFromRealPage=""; $TopLevelFromLine=""; } if ($RegisterState eq $RegStat{"f"}) # If we are starting a range { FlushSavedLine ; if($NestingLevel eq 0) { $TopLevelFromLine=$SavedLine; $TopLevelFromPage=$Page; $TopLevelFromRealPage=$RealPage; } $NestingLevel++; } elsif ($RegisterState eq $RegStat{"t"}) # If we are ending a range { FlushSavedLine ; $NestingLevel--; if($NestingLevel <= 0) { if((($Page eq $TopLevelFromPage) and ($RealPage eq $TopLevelFromRealPage)) or $NestingLevel < 0) { print TUO "\\registerpage$SavedLine" ; } else { print TUO "\\registerfrom$TopLevelFromLine" ; print TUO "\\registerto$SavedLine" ; } $NestingLevel = 0 ; $TopLevelFromPage=""; $TopLevelFromRealPage=""; $TopLevelFromLine=""; } } else # If we have a normal single entry { if ($CollapseEntries) { if ($SavedEntry ne $NextEntry) { $SavedFrom = $SavedLine } else { $SavedTo = $SavedLine } $SavedEntry = $NextEntry } else { print TUO "\\registerpage$SavedLine" } } Of course, if I've missed something, please let me know. I've only started using ConTEXt in the last few weeks. I needed grid typesetting for a book I was working on and I was getting tired of LaTeX not helping me there. I've absolutely loved working with ConTEXt! (well, other than sometimes a frustrating lack of documentation, but there have been lots of good posts on the mailing list that have helped me). Thanks, Jason

Typesetting Math
by Pepe Barbe 05 Sep '06

05 Sep '06

Hello, I am curious about what does everyone around here uses for typesetting Math? Currently I know more LaTeX than anything else for that, but from what I gather to use ConTeXt in full extent I should typeset things directly in TeX or use MathML. So far I've been some LaTeX-like stuff and it was worked fine, but know I want to do more complet layouts that would involve LaTeX style arrays to align equations in several lines. So, what would you guys would recommend? Thanks, Pepe

Re: [NTG-context] common counter
by wwl＠musensturm.de 05 Sep '06

05 Sep '06

Hallo! I'll try asking my question a little bit different: With \setupnumber[formula] [number=davidsnumber] the origin formulanumber(what is its name?) will be overwritten and replaced by davidsnumber. But with \setupnumber[figure] [number=davidsnumber] the origin figurenumbering remains untouched and davidsnumber gets an additionl counter. So there are the following questions: - Why is this different behaviour? - How can I replace the figurecounter by davidsnumber such, that captions and figuretables will use this new counter? - Are the origin formula/figure-counters compatible with counters defined by \definenumber? Or are they other animals? Wolfgang

How to display JavaScript's values in ConTeXt
by Zhichu Chen 05 Sep '06

05 Sep '06

Hello everybody, I want to add a clock which shows the system time to a pdf file. And I have read the ``art-calc.pdf'' and ``mwidget-p.pdf'' to find some approaches but failed shamely. I am indeed new at ConTeXt and JavaScript. Before I'm shocked by ConTeXt, I used LaTeX for about 2 years, so I'm confused with the conventions between ConTeXt and LaTeX. My code is here: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \setupinteraction[state=start] \startJSpreamble functions used now function do_digit(d) { Stack[Level] += String(d); do_refresh(Level) } \stopJSpreamble \startJScode{digit} do_digit(JS_S_1); \stopJScode \definefield[Stack.1][line][Results][][ \setupfield [Results] [horizontal,frame] [width=fit, height=2cm, frame=on] [height=18pt,width=80pt,align=middle,frame=off] [height=18pt,width=80pt,color=red,align=right,style=type,frame=off] \setupbuttons [background=infobutton] \starttext Click \button{7}[JS(digit{7})] will get \field[Stack.1] \stoptext -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I only copied these codes from "art-calc.pdf" so there must be some other critical concepts that I haven't realized. Please point them to me. Thanks

Numbering of figures (was listoffloats question)
by Willi Egger 05 Sep '06

05 Sep '06

Hi Hans and Taco Playing with figures and listings I detected the following: (ConTeXt ver: 2006.08.08 17:52 fmt: 2006.8.8 int: english mes: english) \mainlanguage[de] \definefloat[SMUfigur][SMUfiguren] \definefloat[BAINFfigur][BAINFfiguren] Those floats are used together with the readily available figure-float in the following structure: \part{First} \chapter \section ... \part{Second} \chapter \section ... ..... This structure is embedded in a project-structure. The figures are loaded from a figure-library. Now if the \completelistoffiigures, \completelistofSMUfiguren, \completelistofBAINFfiguren are issued, each list gets correctly its own incremental numbering. However if the above defined floats are defined in order to inherit from the figure-environment \definefloat[SMUfigur][SMUfiguren][figure] \definefloat[BAINFfigur][BAINFfiguren][figure] then the numbering gets confused. i.e.. the first SMUfigur, which occurs in the first part in chapter 2 gets numbered 2.0. instead of 2.15. Further numbering in the second part gets even more confusing. The first SMUfigur appears in the first chapter and gets numbered 1.-14, which should be 1.9. The next figure, which is also a SMUfigur gets numbered 1.-13 instead of 1.10. This is repeated for the third SMUfigur: 1.-12 instead of 1.11 - Puzzling is the - sign.and the reverse order of the number. Could one of you please have a look at this? Thanks Willi
