context --autopdf=auto/default
by Henning Hraban Ramm 29 Aug '19

29 Aug '19

Hello again! Hans, could you use "xdg-open" for "—autopdf=auto" on Linux? That’s more or less the same as "open" on MacOS. On Windows it’s 'start "" "<file>"' (empty quotes for default program), don’t know if that’s implemented. "default" is apparently "pdfopen", that doesn’t work on MacOS, at least on my system I get: dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/X11/lib/libX11.6.dylib Referenced from: /Users/hraban/Library/texmf/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/pdfopen Reason: image not found Abort trap: 6 Greetlings, Hraban --- https://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.dreiviertelhaus.de GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD

Syntax hightlighting
by Fabrice L 28 Aug '19

28 Aug '19

Dear list, I’m using colored verbatim code (for course notes). In the past, I modified verb-mp.mkii for the langage I need (SAS). This code works fine with MKII: %—————— \setupcolors[state=start] \definetyping [MP] [option=MP] \starttext A example: \startMP draw (0,0) withpen pencircle 1in withcolor red ; \stopMP \stoptext %—————— I obtain a color syntax output (« draw » in red, « within » in green for example). This code does not work anymore in MKIV (every word is the same color, green). There should be a solution ? Trying to find some help, in the maling list and the « verbatim_text » page on Context garden, I found some solutions, like pretty printing, which should work on MKIV, but "pret-mp.lua » is found nowhere (nor in the context source browser, nor in my recent distribution). I must admit I’m lost in all the solutions I found there and there (most of them never works out of the box on my installation). Can somebody refer me to a simple solution, which permit me to do colored verbatim code, such as I can modify a source to insert the keywords of the langage I use ? Thanks ! Fabrice.

Like we have for editors: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Text_Editors I’ve an overview in my (still upcoming…) book, see attachment. I really thought I didn’t compile that myself, but there’s no wiki page... Like with the editors, it’s difficult to keep current; don’t even think about complete. There are so many features where viewers differ... Greetlings, Hraban --- https://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.dreiviertelhaus.de GPG Key ID 1C9B22FD

Hi, I've attached a document that I made last week. It's (currently) an lmtx only feature. In acrobat, the 'marked' areas (some tracing option) are the hyperlink. I have no clue how useful this is, maybe for maps or some educational setting. I had it on my agenda to play with it anyway. I don't think that viewers other than acrobat support it (even if it's already quite old pdf stuff; they should anyway fall back on the rectangle) but who knows ...

Dear Sytse, Thank you for your suggestion. > > Maybe paragraphs work for you? > (https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Columns) I will check it. BTW, Use “\column” and don’t print a blank page is the simplest way. Thank you again. Best regards, Dalyoung
