I’d like to load a separate file with definitions. Something that contains % file: my definitions.mp \startMPdefinitions … my definitions ... \stopMPdefinitions How do I get this loaded in LuaTeX? How are files found if I want it somewhere in my personal text tree? G

Re: [NTG-context] ntg-context Digest, Vol 189, Issue 28

Hello Wolfgang, after a few attempts that didn't work I copy-pasted the example from the wiki: \definetyping[C][option=commands]\startC #include <stdio.h> int main(){ return 0; /BTEX{\em unreachedCode;}/ETEX}\stopC This did not work. However following the example you provided this works perfectly! Many thanks.

Source Code with Bolded Keywords
by Yves Cloutier 14 Mar '20

14 Mar '20

Hello, I am trying to typeset source code for a custom programming language and would like to have the keywords in bold text. I tried following the example found here regarding verbatim displays: https://www.contextgarden.net/Verbatim_text#Displayed_text Specifically the C example, however this does not seem to work. No formatting is applied to my keywords. Just wondering if the way to do it has changed or if there are other examples I could look at to compare with what I'm doing. Regards, yc

Why does this METAPOST vardef 'save' statement fail?
by Gerben Wierda 14 Mar '20

14 Mar '20

I have this vardef: vardef Foo(expr w, h) = save pth; path pth; %save pth2; path pth2; save pic; picture pic; pth = fullsquare xysized (w, h); %pth2 = fullsquare xysized (h/4, h/8) pic := image ( draw pth; %draw pth2 shifted (-w/2, -h/4); % all kind of stuff here ); setbounds pic to pth; pic enddef ; As soon as I uncomment the bold line (first comment) a mtxrun fails. Whatever I try, a single save statement, etc., I fail in getting a second local variable. The METAPOST manual is no help. The error shown is: metapost log > ! Extra tokens will be flushed. metapost log > <to be read again> metapost log > 2 metapost log > Foo->...h;path.pth;save.pth2 metapost log > ;path.pth2;save.pic;pictur... metapost log > <*> ... ; s := Foo(8cm, 2cm) metapost log > ; draw s; drawdot center l... metapost log > Why?

ePub issues: XML structure
by Henning Hraban Ramm 12 Mar '20

12 Mar '20

Not only Hans van der Meer is producing (or trying to produce) ePubs at the moment; I reviewed my XSLT workflow (https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Epub_Sample) since my publisher colleagues and our distributor aren’t happy about just publishing PDFs as eBooks. While the first book in a series of four is now ready with a lot of manual corrections, in the second one the XML structure is messed up: the chapter title structure comes only after the chapter content, and index entry tags are empty with the actual entry behind like this: <paragraph>Ein sentimentales Rührstück ist <highlight detail="emph">Rico, Oskar und die Tieferschatten</highlight> dennoch nicht. Die beiden Hauptdarsteller <registerlocation detail="index" internal="396"></registerlocation>Anton Petzold (Rico) und <registerlocation detail="index" internal="397"></registerlocation>Juri Winkler (Oskar) füllen ihre Rollen ganz wunderbar aus...</paragraph> In ConTeXt code I marked the actors with \def\NPers#1#2{\index{#2, #1}#1 #2} as \NPers{Anton}{Petzold}. But since that just uses \index, the XML tag should catch the contents, don’t you think? I’ll come up with a MWE; don’t know if I’ll manage to reproduce the title/contents mixup though. The other book’s export is ok within the same project. It uses the same environment, but a slightly differing chapter setup. Any hints which setting could cause the re-ordering? (And I use \startchapter … \stopchapter of course.) Best, Hraban

Install Tikz in LMTX tree

Anyway, there's also a time splitter (dedicated to Alan who needed one): >> No, sorry that’s an artifact from testing. >> I had to assign: >> local ee = e[1].at[what] >> and >> string.split(ee,"-") >> in two steps while the original had >> local t = string.split(e[1].at[what],"-") > still strange because it's one value, if it were multiple you could do This is strange. Now it works. Earlier I had context.date complaining that it got a table and not a string. That’s why I took the t = assignment apart into pieces. Now I copied the code from the original reply and it works. Sorry for the noise. Axel

Outputting custom types in MKiv bibliography
by Mike O'Connor 11 Mar '20

11 Mar '20

Hello, I’m trying to create my first publication using ConTeXt mkiv. All going well except for the bibliography formatting. Previously I have used LaTeX, standard entry types in BibTeX, and custom output formats using Biblatex. My publication cites lots of historical sources, viz.: (1) Newspaper articles — currently stored as ‘article’ types in BibTex. (2) Archival sources (historic letter, some leather-bound volume, a catalogued box of old photographs, etc.) — currently stored as ‘unpublished’ or ‘misc'. I would prefer to store these (in BibTeX, buffer, lua, or xml) as custom types (eg. ‘newspaper’, ‘archivalItem’), create setups for how they are output and which fields I output. I found a ’newspaper’ type (and other non-BibTeX types) defined in publ-imp-apa.mkiv as: \startsetups btx:apa:list:newspaper \fastsetup{btx:apa:list:article} \stopsetups I hoped this would mean I could output something: Boxing. (1903, September 13). The Sunday Times, p.8 However, if I create an item of type 'newspaper’ and \cite it I get an output of all stored fields: newspaper: [day: 13] [journal: {The Sunday Times}] [month: 09] [pages:8][title: {Boxing.}] [type: newspaper article] [year: 1903] A similar thing happens if I try to cite the standard BibTeX type ‘misc’. If I store the newspaper item as type ‘article’ I get: “Boxing.”, The Sunday Times, 8, 1903. (missing day and month) Is it relevant that there is a problem when I include \showbtxfields[rotation=30] in my document? The resulting table has ‘*’ for fields in ‘article’, ‘book’, ‘demo-a’, ‘demo-b’ but the columns for ‘newspaper’ and ‘misc’ are empty. Any pointers gratefully received. Cheers, Mike O’Connor P.S. I am working in TeXShop on OSX (10.11.3), and it reports: This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.80.0 (TeX Live 2015) (rev 5238) ConTeXt ver: 2015.05.18 12:26 MKIV current fmt: 2016.3.19 int: english/english
