\xmldoifelse false condition
by Gerard Keiser 14 Apr '17

14 Apr '17

I am trying to select specific elements from an XML document to make anthologies, and still retain the original numbering, by using \xmldoifelse; if the node matches, it is printed, and if it is not, the head number is incremented, to get something like this: 1 First Section (first match) 4 Fourth Section (second match, but fourth element in the XML file) But the fail condition is not being triggered properly. Here are the files: % % anthologize.xml % \def\incrementheadnumber[#1]{\setupheadnumber[#1] [\numexpr\namedheadnumber{#1}+1\relax]} \startxmlsetups xml:selectivity:* \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{*}{-} \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{stuff|div|head}{xml:selectivity:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregisterdocumentsetup{selectivity}{xml:selectivity:*} % Here is the difficulty. \startxmlsetups{xml:selectivity:stuff} \xmldoifelse{#1}{/div[match()==1 or match()==4]/all()} { \xmlflush{#1} } { \incrementheadnumber[section] } \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups{xml:selectivity:div} \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups{xml:selectivity:head} \startsection[title={\xmlflush{#1}}]\stopsection \stopxmlsetups \starttext \xmlprocessfile{selectivity}{bob.xml}{} \stoptext % % bob.xml % <stuff> <div> <head>First Section</head> </div> <div> <head>Second Section</head> </div> <div> <head>Third Section</head> </div> <div> <head>Fourth Section</head> </div> </stuff> The result is that only the first and fourth heads are printed, as desired, but I end up with: 1 First Section 2 Fourth Section. I have used the \incrementheadnumber function elsewhere, and it works fine. If I replace \incrementheadnumber[section] with \xmlflush{#1}, it prints: 1 First Section 2 Fourth Section 3 First Section 4 Second Section 5 Third Section 6 Fourth Section So it seems to be properly triggering the true condition, but not the false condition, and I cannot figure out how to fix it. Using ConTeXt 2017.04.08 and LuaTeX 1.0.3. I do thank you for your help. Sincerely, Gerard Keiser

Inline stacking of text
by Pavneet Arora 14 Apr '17

14 Apr '17

Really simple problem that has had me bashing my head for a while, so I thought that I would reach out and ask for help: I need to create large type title/sub-title combinations in-line. I need the sub-titles to be stacked so that they share the same baseline as the title. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to get the baseline alignment to work. Also, I seem to have to add the '\setupwhitespace[-1.0em] to squish the lines together. Is there a better way? Appreciate any guidance. advTHANKSance. MWE--8<---- \setuppapersize[letter,portrait] \definefontfamily[mainface][rm][Latin Modern] \definefontfamily[mainface][ss][Latin Sans] \definefontfamily[mainface][mm][Latin Modern Math] \setupbodyfont[mainface,80pt] \setupinterlinespace[line=2.2ex] \setupwhitespace[none] \starttext \definedfont[Sans at 50pt]{TITLE---}% \framed[frame=off,location=middle,align=flushleft]{% \definedfont[Sans at 25pt]\setupinterlinespace\setupwhitespace[-1.0em]{SUB-TITLE\\ SUB-TITLE}}% \stoptext ----->8---- -- Pavneet Arora m: +1 (647) 406-6843 Waroc Informatik t: +1 (416) 937-9276

\language[is] not working
by Florian Grammel 13 Apr '17

13 Apr '17

The Icelandic hyphenation and language settings, though present in the installation (lang-is.lua), don’t seem to work on ConTeXt ver: 2016.05.17 19:20 MKIV current fmt: 2017.3.21 I’ve tried both \language[is] / \language[icelandic] and \mainlanguage[is] but the result is identical to English. Other languages (fr, ru, de) work as expected. Thanks in advance! ____________________________________________ Florian Grammel Copenhagen, Denmark

XML inclusion
by Meer, Hans van der 12 Apr '17

12 Apr '17

The command \xmlinclude{}{}{} includes the file specified by attribute IDENTIFIER of the element located by LPATH at NODE. What I would like to do is including a bunch of .xml files where the directory to load from is given. Is this a possibility or could this be a feature added to the ConTeXt XML-processing in a new beta? Hans van der Meer

How do I set the path to the figure cache?
by Kevin D. Robbins 11 Apr '17

11 Apr '17

By default, converted figures (m_k_i_v_foo.pdf for source figure foo.svg) are written to the same directory as the source figure. I would like all converted figures to be written instead to a cache directory in my home directory. How do I set this path? Best Regards, Kevin

processing very big tables
by Thomas A. Schmitz 11 Apr '17

11 Apr '17

Hi all, I need some fundamental advice from experienced users: I'm processing xml and collecting the data in lua tables, which I want to typeset in some sort of table or tabular format. Typesetting requirements are fairly low, just a couple of columns that need to be nicely aligned, with the occasional horizontal overflow that should be handled gracefully (i.e. longer lines should be broken), and of course, the table has to break across pages. However, the lua tables have several thousands of entries, and I expect the final document to have around 3,000 pages. When I tried Natural Tables, I got a "TeX capacity exceeded" error, which disappeared when I tried with a smaller part of my document. So my question is: what is the most "inexpensive" way of typesetting this sort of material? One of the table environments? Which one (would xtables be better?)? Or low-level vboxes within hboxes etc.? Or just \framed within \framed? What would you suggest for this sort of material? Thanks for your insights! Thomas

side caption top aligned on grid -- not implemented?
by Florian Grammel 08 Apr '17

08 Apr '17

At http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/362215/6819 I asked: How can I place the top line of the caption (location={left, high}) on the grid and have it align with the figure at same height. I hoped this to be solvable by some simple instructions that I just haven’t been able to figure out. But Henri Menke suggested in a comment that the mechanism might not be implemented. Is this really the case? And if so: is there any way to achieve the alignment anyway? I’d greatly appreciate any help as this is an important requirement for my present project! Best regards, Florian. ____________________________________________ Florian Grammel Copenhagen, Denmark

query re placing a float
by Alan Bowen 06 Apr '17

06 Apr '17

I have a paragraph of text and I would like to place a float to the left so that there a some lines above the float, some beside, and some below. Is there a way to do this? What I have so far breaks the paragraph in two: one before the float and one beside it (with a few lines below). If I invoke the float before the paragraph, there are no lines above the float. \starttext Quisque facilisis erat a dui. Nam malesuada ornare dolor.

Problem loading a DLL with the latest Ctx beta
by Akira Kakuto 06 Apr '17

06 Apr '17

> I encountered problem loading WinCon.dll > (a module that I wrote and I've been using for several years) In the new lua(jit)tex, one cannot use DLL modules. See my mail in http://tug.org/pipermail/luatex/2017-March/006410.html http://tug.org/pipermail/luatex/2017-March/006413.html Reason: I could not build usable binaries for the new sources by linking dynamically lua-5.2.4 or luajit. Thus I changed to link lua-5.2.4 etc. statically. Best, Akira
