Testing value of a \def
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. 08 Feb '18

08 Feb '18

Hello, I'm trying to test whether value of \jobname is "Test"; I suppose it should be as the file name is "Test.mkiv". But the code: ---- \starttext \jobname \doifelse{\jobname}{Test}{Yes}{No} \def\T{Test} \ifx\jobname\T True\else False\fi \ctxcommand{doifelse("\jobname" == "Test")}{1}{0} \stoptext ---- yields "No", "False" and "1", so only the printed "1" is what I expect. Why \doifelse and \ifx are evaluated as false? Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

Change of font size affects header text size, too
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. 08 Feb '18

08 Feb '18

Hello, in the following example: ---- \setupheadertexts[Left][Right] \starttext Aaa \page \startsection[title={Sec}] \start \setupbodyfont[6pt] \dorecurse{12}{\input knuth} \stop \stopsection \stoptext ---- header text size on page #2 is small (6 pt) although body font change was intended only to text inside section "Sec" - thus the text "\input knuth" is surrounded by \start ... \stop. How to change the bodyfont size of the running text only (ad-hoc in the middle of the document), without changing header text size? Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

Wrong Lua package loaded by 'require'
by Przemek Wesolek 08 Feb '18

08 Feb '18

Hi, I have problems using PGF graph drawing with ConTeXt. The problem is described on https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/414102/ It all boils down to Lua trying to load wrong file. When require 'pgf.gd.control' is called, ConTeXt resolvers come into play and 'lua variable format' locates Control.lua -- note the uppercase letter here -- which cannot be loaded (on Linux) and 'require' fails: > sandbox > requiring: pgf.gd.control > resolvers > libraries > locating, level '1', method 'already loaded', name 'pgf.gd.control' > resolvers > libraries > locating, level '1', method 'preload table', name 'pgf.gd.control' > resolvers > libraries > locating, level '1', method 'lua variable format', name 'pgf.gd.control' > resolvers > libraries > lua format, checking 33 paths > resolvers > libraries > lua format, identifying 'pgf/gd/control.lua' using format 'tex' > resolvers > libraries > lua format, 'pgf/gd/control.lua' found on '/opt/texlive/2017/texmf-dist/tex/generic/pgf/graphdrawing/lua/pgf/gd/Control.lua' > resolvers > libraries > locating, level '1', method 'lib variable format', name 'pgf.gd.control' I suspect some part of the system (ConTeXt? kpsewhich? TeXLive?) messes up and the resolver instead of pgf/gd/control.lua hits pgf/gd/force/Control.lua. But I have plainly no experience in where to look... One more place, where I found some traces: in texmf-var/luatex-cache/context/a86c089b384a3076dc514ba966a1fac9/trees/929f6dbc83f6d3b65 dab91f1efa4aacb.lua file I have (in ["content"]["files"]) > ["control.lua"]={ "tex/generic/pgf/graphdrawing/lua/pgf/gd", "tex/generic/pgf/graphdrawing/lua/pgf/gd/force" } as well as (in ["content"]["remap"]) > ["control.lua"]="Control.lua" Clearly not OK. My system is current TeXLive 2017. LuaTeX 1.0.4. ConTeXt 1.01. Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04. Regards, Przemek

The following test file runs without errors in the texlive version (2017.05.15 21:48) but fails with the current beta (2018.01.24 10:47); several errors "font with asked name 'xits-math' is not found": \definefontfamily [test] [serif] [DejaVu Serif] \definefontfamily [test] [sans] [DejaVu Sans] \definefontfamily [test] [mono] [DejaVu Sans Mono] \definefontfamily [test] [math] [XITS Math] \setupbodyfont [test,10pt] \starttext Hello world. {\ss Sans} {\tt Mono} \math{a^2 + b^2 = c^2} \stoptext Looks like there is a bug somewhere in the font selection mechanism.

Scale figure to fill a box
by Wolfgang Schuster 04 Feb '18

04 Feb '18

Hi Hans, I want to use a few graphics as page backgrounds but with the \scale command the image always stays within the borders of the page. Can you add a command (probably easier than adding such a function to \scale) which does as same as in the second row of the example below where the image extends outside of the borders of the frame. A option to clip parts – which can be disabled – of the image which are outside of the frame would be a nice extension to this command (e.g. in case you want a image in a table cell). \setupexternalfigure[location=default] \defineframed [PageBorder] [offset=overlay, rulethickness=2pt, framecolor=red, width=6cm, height=6cm] \starttext \startcombination[nx=2,ny=1,distance=4cm] {\PageBorder{\externalfigure[hacker][factor=fit]}}{} {\PageBorder{\externalfigure[mill] [factor=fit]}}{} \stopcombination \blank[4cm] \startcombination[nx=2,ny=1,distance=4cm] {\PageBorder{\clap{\externalfigure[hacker][height=6cm]}}}{} {\PageBorder {\externalfigure[mill] [width=6cm]}} {} \stopcombination \stoptext Wolfgang

Presentation sections identified by color and mark
by jmmora＠us.es 04 Feb '18

04 Feb '18

Hi, I'm starting a presentation with ConTeXt. I'd like to visually differentiate each section, so I've come up with two complementary approaches to do that: * Use a different color palette for each section, and * Mark the progress bar to indicate the start of each section. I've done an small example (at the end) but: * Last Subject of a Topic take color from next Topic. (e.g. "Some greenB") * I don't like interactionBar styles provided. I'd like something like: |-----|-|-----|--|------ (horizontal line and a vertical line at the begin of each section and a vertical line of different color for current position) other option I like: ######%%@@@@@@HHH&&&&&&& (each letter represents a color. It's a bar with colors marking size of text. So it's a series of color rectangles with colors for each section and a vertical line for current position) The main problems are: * How can I pass the first page of each section to MetaPost? * How can I protect background color of SomeGreenB to be green and not blue? Thanks. -------8< ----- Start example \usemodule[present-original] \usemodule[present-common] \definecolor [PageColor] [black] \definecolor [BackgroundColor] [s=.85] \definecolor [OrnamentColor] [r=.75] \definecolor [PositionColor] [s=.55] \defineoverlay [PageShape][\useMPgraphic{PageShape}] \startuseMPgraphic{PageShape} StartPage ; path p ; pair pa, pb ; numeric len ; color contrastcolor ; numeric i; numeric sections[]; % simulated load of sections sections[0] := 1; sections[1] := 4; sections[2] := 6; pickup pencircle scaled 5pt ; p := (100pt,100pt)--(500pt,100pt); draw p withcolor \MPcolor{OrnamentColor} ; contrastcolor = \MPcolor{PositionColor} ; if (RealPageNumber > 0) and (NOfPages > 0): len := 1/NOfPages ; i := 0; forever : exitunless known sections[i]; pa := point(0+len*sections[i]) of p ; draw (pa+(0,10pt))--(pa+(0,-10pt)) withcolor \MPcolor{OrnamentColor} ; i := i + 1; endfor ; pa := point (0+len*RealPageNumber) of p ; %draw (pa+(0,10pt))--(pa+(0,-10pt)) withcolor contrastcolor ; draw pa withpen pencircle scaled 10pt withcolor contrastcolor ; fi ; StopPage ; \stopuseMPgraphic \setupbackgrounds [text] [background={PageShape}] \starttext \setupdocument[title={Title},location={Place}] \startdocument \definecolor[BackgroundColor][r=0,g=.7,b=0] \startTopic[title={Topic Green}] Some text A \startSubject[title={Some green 1}] more text B \stopSubject \startSubject[title={Some green 2}] more text B \stopSubject \stopTopic \definecolor[BackgroundColor][r=0,g=0,b=0.7] \startTopic[title={Topic Blue}] Some text C \startSubject[title={Some blue}] more text D \stopSubject \stopTopic \definecolor[BackgroundColor][r=.7,g=0,b=0] \startTopic[title={Topic Red}] Some text E \startSubject[title={Some Red}] more text F \stopSubject \stopTopic \stopdocument \stoptext

Django: using ConTeXT mkiv to output PDF
by kaddour kardio 02 Feb '18

02 Feb '18

i have a small Django app <https://bitbucket.org/kaddourkardio/kardiology> to manage my patients data, and use LaTeX to output reports. It consists un a *parent* model called Patients and child models Consultation , StressEcho and so on. With LaTex this works without problems def courrier_pdf(request, pk2, pk1): entry = Courrier.objects.get(pk=pk2) source = Patient.objects.get(pk=pk1) context = dict({'courrier': entry, 'patient': source})#buffer = BytesIO()template = get_template('courrier/courrier.tex') rendered_tpl = template.render(context, request).encode('utf-8')#Python3 only. For python2 check out the docs!with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as tempdir: # Create subprocess, supress output with PIPE and # run latex twice to generate the TOC properly. # Finally read the generated pdf. for i in range(2): process = Popen( ['xelatex', '-output-directory', tempdir], stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE, ) process.communicate(rendered_tpl) with open(os.path.join(tempdir, 'texput.pdf'), 'rb') as f: pdf = f.read() r = HttpResponse(content_type='application/pdf') r.write(pdf)return r i tried with this view in order to use ConTeXT but without success def courrier_mkiv(request, pk2, pk1): entry = Courrier.objects.get(pk=pk2) cource = Patient.objects.get(pk=pk1) context = dict({'courrier': entry, 'patient': cource})# buffer = BytesIO()template = get_template('courrier/courrier.mkiv') rendered_tpl = template.render(context, request).encode('utf-8')with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as tempdir: process = Popen(['context', '--result', tempdir], stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE, ) process.communicate(rendered_tpl) with open(os.path.join(tempdir, 'textput.pdf'), 'rb') as f: pdf = f.read() r = HttpResponse(content_type='application/pdf') r.write(pdf)return r My feeling is that the problem is in the workspace since i get logfiles in the root of my app Here is log file from ConTeXT: open source > level 1, order 1, name '/home/kaddour/context/tex/texmf- context/tex/context/base/mkiv/cont-yes.mkiv' system > system > ConTeXt ver: 2018.01.04 17:37 MKIV beta fmt: 2018.1.4 int: english/english system > system > 'cont-new.mkiv' loaded open source > level 2, order 2, name '/home/kaddour/context/tex/texmf- context/tex/context/base/mkiv/cont-new.mkiv' close source > level 2, order 2, name '/home/kaddour/context/tex/texmf- context/tex/context/base/mkiv/cont-new.mkiv' system > files > jobname 'tmpy82c5j7i', input '/tmp/tmpy82c5j7i', result 'tmpy82c5j7i' fonts > latin modern fonts are not preloaded languages > language 'en' is active tex error > tex error on line 8 in file /home/kaddour/context/tex/texmf- context/tex/context/base/mkiv/cont-yes.mkiv: ! I can't find file `/tmp/tmpy82c5j7i'. l.8 } I tried this in my view os.chdirw(tempdir) just before process without success. My guess is that ConTeXT option --result= does not behave exactly like LaTeX's -output-directoryAny help is welcome i really need ConTeXT for my work and this problem is driving me mad! -- Dr YAHYAOUI Mohamed Kaddour, cardiologue -- Clinique KARDIA.
