location of converted images
by Jano Kula 06 Jun '18

06 Jun '18

Dear list, images converted on-the-fly (m_k_i_v_*) are stored in the same folder as original images. Is there an option to change cache folder? Original files are stored in the read-only location. Script convert offers --outputpath option, but I would like to make the switch with script context, using mtxrun --script context <file>. Taco's talk 'mtxrun scripts' at the meeting <http://meeting.contextgarden.net/2018/abstracts.shtml> will hopefully show us even more magic. Thank you, Jano

First example in xml-mkiv.pdf
by Keith McKay 06 Jun '18

06 Jun '18

Dear List, In my continuing effort to improve my ConTeXt skills I thought I would have a look at XML and ConTeXt. Note: I have no XML skills but, "in for a penny, in for a pound", as they say over here. I started by looking at the very first example on page 5 of "Dealing with XML in ConTeXt mkiv" and straight away hit a problem. There is a typo in the first line of the XML file which I corrected: <?xml version='1.0' standalone='yes?> should be <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?> However when I ran the file using the tex file it only produced a 3 page pdf with a contents page and 2 title pages and no other text. Here is the XML file which is the similar to the one on page 5 but with two sections rather than one: <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?> <document> <section> <title>Some title</title> <content> <p>a paragraph of text</p> <p>another paragraph of text</p> </content> </section> <section> <title>Another title</title> <content> <p>a paragraph of text</p> <p>another paragraph of text</p> </content> </section> </document> The TeX file is cut and pasted from pages 5 and 6 of xml-mkiv.pdf: \startxmlsetups xml:demo:base \xmlsetsetup{#1}{document|section|p|itemize|item}{xml:demo:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregisterdocumentsetup{demo}{xml:demo:base} \startxmlsetups xml:demo:document \starttitle[title={Contents}] \placelist[chapter] \stoptitle \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:demo:section \startchapter[title=\xmlfirst{#1}{/title}] \xmlfirst{#1}{/content} \stopchapter \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:demo:p \xmlflush{#1}\endgraf \stopxmlsetups \xmlprocessfile{demo}{demo.xml}{} This seemed such a simple example and I'm a bit perplexed as to why it did not work. Can somebody explain why no paragraphs are showing up? I'm using: ConTeXt ver: 2018.04.04 00:51 MKIV beta fmt: 2018.6.2 int: english/english LuaTeX, Version 1.07.0 (TeX Live 2018) Thanks and Best Wishes Keith McKay

Commands \inmargin and \inouter not working
by Marcus Vinicius Mesquita 04 Jun '18

04 Jun '18

Dear list, After updating ConTeXt, commands \inmargin and \inouter do not work anymore. MWE: \starttext This is an example of a simple margin note set in the slanted font of the document. If used correctly, the note \inmargin{Here is a simple margin note.} should print on the side with the command \type {\inmargin} placed in the text. You will of course want to adjust your margins to accommodate the type. This is an example of a simple margin note set in the slanted font of the document.

Where can I find swiglib?

Dear list, where can I find the sources of swiglib? The website [1] has absolutely no info on that and the links in Luigi's TUGboat paper [2] are all dead. Cheers, Henri [1] http://www.luatex.org/swiglib.html [2] https://tug.org/TUGboat/tb36-1/tb112scarso.pdf

reading ConTeXt source code
by Robert Zydenbos 01 Jun '18

01 Jun '18

I've tried to go through the ConTeXt source to see what the possible parameters of commands, the dependencies, inheritances and the defaults are. Is there any file where I can see the order in which all the .mkii / .mkiv files are read? RZ

metafun: error when I call the same function twice consecutively.
by Jeong Dal 31 May '18

31 May '18

Hi, I defined a function using MetaFun, and call it to draw a figure. It is OK when I call it once. But there is an error when it runs the same function second time. (it stops when it call fap(3,2) after fap(2,2)) I have no idea what is wrong and how to fix it. Would you please tell me what I miss? Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung %%%%%%% \startbuffer[test] numeric u; u := 1cm; path p[]; def fap(expr n, m) = numeric size; size := m*u; for i = 0 upto (n*n-1): z[i] = ((i mod n),(floor(i/n)))*size; drawdot z[i] withpen pencircle scaled 5pt withcolor blue; endfor; enddef; fap(2,2); fap(3,2); \stopbuffer \starttext \processMPbuffer[test] \stoptext
