Testing a sample in details.pdf
by Cho, Jin-Hwan 19 Feb '03

19 Feb '03

While I'm testing some examples in details.pdf (http://www.pragma-ade.com/temp/details.pdf) a curious thing happened. Let me assume that I have the following test file (test.tex) which was extracted from details.pdf (p.13) I generated two PDF files, test-1.pdf and test-2.pdf, by the following ways, respectively. 1. The first way Just ran "texexec --pdf test", and got the attached PDF file, test-1.pdf. (Please see the attached file test-1.log too.) 2. The second way (step by step) (a) "texexec --pdf --once test" (b) "texutil --references test" (c) "texexec --pdf --once test" (d) "mpost mpgraph" (e) "texexec --pdf --once test" The curious thing was that the two PDF files were different, especially the embedded MetaPost graphics were different. In my opinion, test-2.pdf seemed to be the right result. === BEGIN test.tex === \setupcolors[state=start] \definecolor[infogray][darkgray] \definecolor[textgray][lightgray] \definetextbackground[intro] [backgroundcolor=infogray, backgroundoffset=.25cm, offset=.5cm, frame=off, location=paragraph, color=white] \definetextbackground[subintro] [backgroundcolor=textgray, backgroundoffset=0pt, offset=0pt, frame=off, location=text, color=blue] \starttext \starttextbackground[intro] A rather common way to draw attention to a passage, is to add a background. In this chapter we will therefore discuss how to enhance your document with \starttextbackground [subintro] colorful areas that either or not follow the shape of your paragraph. \stoptextbackground\ Be warned: this chapter has so many backgrounds that you should consider wearing sunglasses. \stoptextbackground \stoptext === END test.tex === Best, ChoF. -- *** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *** ^ ^ | ChoF := Jin-Hwan Cho | *^ ^* o | chofchof(a)ktug.or.kr | * o * *** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *** *^ ^* | Project Manager of | ^ ^ * O * | DVIPDFMx and MiKTeX-KTUG | O ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | Research Fellow, School of Mathematics | | Korea Institute for Advanced Study | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

new line in \writetolist ?
by Henning Hraban Ramm 19 Feb '03

19 Feb '03

Same question again, perhaps a bit more clear... (And, please, I need an answer until Sunday! Thanks.) How can I make a line break in an \writetolist entry? e.g. \writetolist[chapter]{This is a very long chapter name\\that doesn't fit in one line} Neither \\ nor \crlf does anything.

Expansion problem in natural table
by Simon Pepping 18 Feb '03

18 Feb '03

I have an expansion problem in natural tables. I need to have this: \bTD\XMLDBcontinuepartrue\ignorespaces\XMLflush{revremark}\eTD but \XMLflush{revremark} must be expanded. When I do that using \expanded, \expanded{\bTD\noexpand\XMLDBcontinuepartrue\ignorespaces\XMLflush{#1}}\eTD I get errors when I have compound characters: \XMLDBcontinuepartrue\ignorespaces Kleine \dobuildtextaccent\char 127 A{}nderung It should be \dobuildtextaccent{\char 127} A for it to be valid. Or it should be \buildtextaccent\textdiaeresis A In other words, \XMLflush{#1} should be expanded, but not all the way down. How do I get that? This is my hack, but it is awful because it relies on an exact number of expansions: \expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\def \expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\!!stringa \expandafter\expandafter\expandafter{\csname XML:dat:#1\endcsname} \@EA\bTD\@EA\XMLDBcontinuepartrue\@EA\ignorespaces\!!stringa\eTD} Error log: \XMLDBshowElementTD #1->\expanded {\bTD \noexpand \XMLDBcontinuepartrue \ignore spaces \XMLflush {#1}}\eTD #1<-revremark \expanded #1->\long \edef \@@expanded {\noexpand #1}\@@expanded #1<-\bTD \noexpand \XMLDBcontinuepartrue \ignorespaces \XMLflush {revremark} {\long} {\noexpand} {\noexpand} \XMLflush #1->\csname \@@XMLdata :#1\endcsname #1<-revremark {\csname} \@@XMLdata ->\@@XML dat \@@XML ->XML: \XML:dat:revremark ->Kleine Änderung Ä->\Adiaeresis {} \Adiaeresis ->\dohandlecharacter {Adiaeresis} \dohandlecharacter #1->\csname \ifcsname \characterencoding #1\endcsname \chara cterencoding \else \nocharacterencoding \fi #1\endcsname #1<-Adiaeresis {\csname} {\ifcsname} \characterencoding ->@default@ {true} \characterencoding ->@default@ {\else} \@default@Adiaeresis ->\buildtextaccent \textdiaeresis A \buildtextaccent ->\ifignoreaccent \expandafter \nobuildtextaccent \else \expan dafter \dobuildtextaccent \fi {\iffalse} {false} {\expandafter} {\fi} \textdiaeresis ->\dohandlecharacter {textdiaeresis} \dohandlecharacter #1->\csname \ifcsname \characterencoding #1\endcsname \chara cterencoding \else \nocharacterencoding \fi #1\endcsname #1<-textdiaeresis {\csname} {\ifcsname} \characterencoding ->@default@ {true} \characterencoding ->@default@ {\else} \@default@textdiaeresis ->\char 127 \@@expanded ->\bTD \XMLDBcontinuepartrue \ignorespaces Kleine \dobuildtextaccen t \char 127 A{}nderung \bTD ->\dodoubleempty \parseTD ... snip ... \parseTD [#1][#2]#3\eTD ->\getparameters [\@@tbl ][\c!ny =\tblnr ,\c!nx =\tblnc ,nc=1,nr=1,#1]\doloop {\increment \currentcol \doifnottbltag \maximumrow \curr entcol \exitloop }\let \row \maximumrow \let \col \currentcol \dorecurse {\tbln y } {\let \col \currentcol \settblcol \row \col \tblnx \ifnum \tblnx >\maximumr owspan \relax \let \maximumrowspan \tblnx \fi \dorecurse {\tblnx } {\settbltag \row \col \tblnone \increment \col }\increment \row }\decrement \col \ifnum \co l >\maximumcol \relax \let \maximumcol \col \fi \settbltag \maximumrow \current col \tblcell \settblcol \maximumrow \currentcol \tblnx \settblrow \maximumrow \ currentcol \tblny \edef \celltag {{\maximumrow }{\currentcol }}\@EA \settbltxt \@EA \maximumrow \@EA \currentcol \@EA {\@EA \handleTBLcell \celltag [#1]{#3}} #1<- #2<- #3<-\XMLDBcontinuepartrue \ignorespaces Kleine \dobuildtextaccent \char 127 A{} nderung ... snip ... \dobuildtextaccent #1#2->{\let \char \normalaccent #1\let \char \normalchar #2} #1<-\char #2<-1 {begin-group character {} {\let} {\accent} !

Re: inlining pretty-printed XML
by Guy Worthington 18 Feb '03

18 Feb '03

I've looked at the verb-XML module, and verb-ini module, and have have seen hints that it may be possible to typeset XML code snippets, such as <table> into the main text. Is it possible to inline such XML expressions into the main text, using the same color setup as has been defined in the verb-XML macros?

table column alignment
by Bruce D'Arcus 17 Feb '03

17 Feb '03

More on tables and such: Looking through "The Elements of Typographic Style," the author recommends tables be aligned on the decimal or flush right. If there is no decimal in an entry using the decimal alignment, in effect such a number is aligned as if it had a decimal. What you get is something like: 10 10.2 10.34 I cannot seem to do this in ConTeXt. It seem either all figures must have a decimal, or must not. Bruce

Math Euler and mp-graph
by Adam Lindsay 17 Feb '03

17 Feb '03

Hello, Hans, all, I'm trying to finalise my euler-math typescripts and type encodings. It seems to work everywhere, except in metapost mode. It's a mystery. My latest math-eul and type-eul are attached, (play along at home! put them in your tex/context/third directory! Now with eulerbold!) and when the following is run with them, I don't get any decimals in the numerical labels. \usemodule [graph] \startMPenvironment%[global] \usetypescriptfile[type-eul] \usetypescript[eul] \setupbodyfont[eul,10pt] \stopMPenvironment \starttext \startMPcode draw begingraph(100mm,50mm); setcoords(linear,log); setrange(0,0.01,2,1.0); autogrid(itick.bot,itick.lft) withcolor .75white ; endgraph; \stopMPcode \stoptext ...I've tried the same code with math times and computer modern, and they work fine. Does anyone have a clue why metapost/metafun would be inserting something other than a normal mathperiod? That's the only guess I have as to where it might be happening. I spent a morning meditating on mp-form, mp-grph, and the like, but did not reach enlightenment. Can anyone else using m-graph confirm this behaviour?

Inserting a mini toc into the chapter heading
by Guy Worthington 17 Feb '03

17 Feb '03

I'm stymied! I've looked at Hans' code for inserting a local toc into a chapter heading: http://ml-archives.mini.pw.edu.pl/ntg-context/msg04713.html I just can't get it to generate a local toc. Could someone please run the example. % output=pdftex \setuplist [section] [style=boldslanted, align=left, interaction=all, symbol=1, width=1em, pagenumber=no, before=, after=] \setuphead [chapter] [header=empty, style=BigHeadFont, alternative=command, command=\ContentsHead, page=right, after={\blank[2*big]}] \definefont[BigHeadFont][Serif at 36pt] \def\ContentsHead#1#2% {%\setupframed[frame=off] \framed[width=\hsize,offset=overlay] {\placesidebyside {\doifelsenothing{#1} {\framed[width=.6\hsize]{}} % dummy {\framed [width=.6\hsize,offset=1em,strut=no,align=right,background=screen] {In this chapter: \blank \placelist[section][criterium=chapter]}}} {\framed [width=.4\hsize,offset=1em,strut=no,align=left] {#1\par#2}}}} \starttext \title {Berend} \chapter {Berend} \section {Botje} \section {Botje} \section {Botje} \stoptext I've also a related question: Berend mentions a visual debugger, I want one! (by the way what is a visual debugger).

\setupTABLE commands?
by Bruce D'Arcus 17 Feb '03

17 Feb '03

I've been looking for a summary of available commands in \setupTABLE, but can't find it. I had thought the following (modified from the nattab manual) would get me a table centered on the page, with spacing before and after, but it doesn't: \definecolor[back-1][r=.8,g=.8,b=.4] \definecolor[back-2][r=.8,g=.8,b=.6] \definecolor[back-3][r=.8,g=.8,b=.8] \setupTABLE[background=color, frame=off, framecolor=white, location=middle, spaecbefore=1*medium, spaceafter=1*medium] \setupTABLE[row][1] [rulethickness=2pt,bottomframe=on] \setupTABLE[row][1] [backgroundcolor=back-1] \setupTABLE[row][odd] [backgroundcolor=back-2] \setupTABLE[row][even][backgroundcolor=back-3] Bruce

hyphenation with accented caharacters
by Henning Hraban Ramm 16 Feb '03

16 Feb '03

According to Hans' mail from 2002-08-29 ("hyphenation of words with accented characters") the following should work, but it doesn't: \hyphenation{ aus-zu-\uumlaut ben Gro\ssharp -bri-tan-nien } I get: ! Not a letter. \@texnansi@ssharp ->\char 223 l.23 \hyphenation{Gro\ssharp -bri-tan-nien} or: ! Improper \hyphenation will be flushed. \dontleavehmode ->\ifhmode \else \ifmmode \else { \mathsurround \z@ \everymat... \smashaccent #1->\dontleavehmode \bgroup \setbox \scratchbox \hbox {#1}\ifdi... l.22 \hyphenation{aus-zu-\uumlaut ben} What's wrong?

bibtex
by Idris S Hamid 15 Feb '03

15 Feb '03

Dear syndicate, I heard that there is a bibtex module for context somewhere, but I could not find an m-bib module anywhere in tex/base. Is there a bibtex how-to for ConTeXt anywhere? I have a LaTeX file to insert in the journal and I don't want my *.bib database to go to waste;-) Secondary question: Assuming that there IS a bibtex module, can I place separate bibliographies from a single .bib file for separate chapters. That is, from a single journal.bib, can I generate a separate bibliography for each article? Idris
