next about expanding attributes and newly about clipping
by Martin Kolařík 10 Feb '03

10 Feb '03

Hi all, thanks for responses to \expanded{\bTD[align={...}]}. After reading this I remembered I have this issue solved -- BUT -- this did not work for me if I use ContML -- <table>, <td>, etc. from it. Now I have not tested this yet, so it probably already works (e.g. <table><tr><td align="left, lohi"></td></tr></table>). I'll try it. Second -- is it possible to define, when using \clip, some overlay? If I use \clip[nx=2,x=1]{\externalfigure[gif]} \page[yes] \clip[nx=2,x=2]{\externalfigure[gif]} I get two precisely clipped figures, but I would get/define something like \clip[nx=2,x=1,width=55% (or absolute value)]{\externalfigure[gif]} \page[yes] \clip[nx=2,x=2]{\externalfigure[gif]} to get the first image slightly overlayed over the second image. If I define width absolutely (e.g. 100mm), the clipped pieces ignore x=... parameter. Maybe, I should achieve overlay if I can define range of clipped areas like \clip[nx=20,x=1-11]{\externalfigure[gif]} \page[yes] \clip[nx=20,x=9-20]{\externalfigure[gif]} There both clipped figures overlay the second one. Is this possible anyhow?

combinations ins XML
by varheit＠gmx.de 10 Feb '03

Dear all, I would like to use the combination feature from an XML source. My XML environment file includes the following definitions: \defineXMLenvironment[combination] {\expanded{\startcombination[\XMLpar{combination}{layout}{2}*\XMLpar{combination}{rows}{1}]}} {\stopcombination} \defineXMLpickup[combinationentry] {\defineXMLpush[combinationitem]\defineXMLpush[combinationcaption]} {\expanded{\bgroup\XMLpop{combinationitem}\egroup\bgroup\XMLpop{combinationcaption}\egroup}} The XML source that I use looks like this: <combination columns="2" rows="1"> <combinationentry> <combinationitem>Image A</combinationitem> <combinationcaption>Caption for image A</combinationcaption> </combinationentry> <combinationentry> <combinationitem>Image B</combinationitem> <combinationcaption>Caption for image B</combinationcaption> </combinationentry> </combination> When I process this file I always get the following error: ! Missing { inserted. <to be read again> \def \parseXMLelement #1#2 #3>->\def \currentXMLarguments {#3}\if #1/\chardef \ki... l.5 <combinationentry> ? I have tried different variations without any success. Maybe somebody can help me. Vik -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ NEU: Mit GMX ins Internet.

Index sorting in Czech
by AlterEgo Qasars 10 Feb '03

10 Feb '03

Good morning. I have to typeset a document in Czech with index. How can I make the ConTeXt to sort it according to a Czech custom/norm? I tried to learn it from the ConTeXt source but I failed. Is there any help/documentation for it? To show what I need, see this please: 1) accutes: A and Aaccute goes in one section, but Aacute is after A (the same holds for E/Eacute, I/..., O/..., Y/...; U is special, since there is U, Uaccute and Uring). 2) carons: Ccaron, Dcaron etc. have thier own section. So there is one section for C, one for Ccaron, then is there D, then Dcaron etc. 3) Ecaron is no problem, since no Czech word can begin with it. But it goes in one section with E and Eaccute in a following order: E, Eaccute and Ecaron. 4) CH is in Czech supposed to be one letter. It stands after H. (There are some words where CH is two letters, but it can be ignored.) 5) There are much more rules, but they can be hardly algorithmized since they depend on a meaning. I can ignore them. Can some of you send me an example how to do it? Then I would try to implement it myself. Many thanks and greetings. Michal Kvasnicka

tables for invoice again
by Roef Ragas 10 Feb '03

10 Feb '03

Goodmorning, Almost ready to send invoices to the world, the day we are all longing for ;) Somehow I can't get the \getvariable right within the table. On top of the file I've got: -snip \setvariables [getallen] [uurtarief=300, buy-out=399, agency=20] -snip Then I want to use these figures, which are fictional by the way, in the table, so I tried to incorporate them in the table with the \getvariable command. Please look at the attached file, and tell me what I'm doing wrong here. Thanks, Roef

m-graph and the definition of \@@expanded
by Adam Lindsay 09 Feb '03

09 Feb '03

Hi ConTeXters... I was wondering if the metapost/fun module "m-graph" was still working for everyone. I worked with it a lot last October/November, but haven't had the need to revisit it recently. For those interested, does: texexec --pdf --mode=demo m-graph.tex ....work correctly? (m-graph is from tex/context/base/m-graph.tex, and the data files it expects are in doc/metapost/base/*.d) Am I the only one having problems, or were the syst-* macros changed after 31 October 2002 so as to conflict with something deep inside graph.mp? I get the same problem with both the latest ConTeXt as well as one from ~5 December. It *might* something else I'm trying to debug, but I get the following when trying to \usemodule[graph]: ! Illegal parameter number in definition of \@@expanded. <to be read again> ( <argument> ...fi ; input graph ; vardef Gsetr_@##( suffix $)(expr l, h) = Gcl... \expanded ...\long \xdef \@@expanded {\noexpand #1 }\@@expanded \theMPinclusions ...A {\the \MPinitializations ;}} \writeMPgraphic {} \startwritingMPgraphic ...untime}\theMPinclusions \else \openMPgraphicfile {... \startMPgraphic ...hic {#1}\startwritingMPgraphic \writeMPgraphic {#1}\stopw... ... l.9 \stopMPpage Sorry to bother the list with something so specialist, adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Adam Lindsay +44(0)1524 594 537 atl(a)comp.lancs.ac.uk http://www.comp.lancs.ac.uk/computing/users/atl/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
