first-setup.bat weirdness I: cloned system
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 19 Jul '16

Dear gang, In the past I updated to the latest via installing cont-tmf.zip (and luatex.exe if needed) manually, but recently I switched to first-setup.bat. I got things working on one 64-bit machine (vista), and want to set up context on another (windows7), also 64-bit. Normally all I need to to do is zip/rar the tree, move it to the second machine, and voila, I'm up and running. This time, however, it doesn't work; when I run a file I get ===================== This is LuaTeX, Version 0.97.0 (TeX Live 2016/W32TeX) system commands enabled. . <*> cont-yes.mkiv ? ===================== as well as a complaint from windows7: ===================== Assertion failed! Program: C:\<path>\luatex.exe File: variable.c line: 36 Expression: kpse -> program_name ===================== What do these two complaints each mean? After this, I tried running first-setup.bat again on the windows7 machine, got the following errors: ===================== mtx-context | running command: pdftex --ini --etex --8bit cont-en.mkii \dump warning: c:/ConTeXt/tex/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf:49: (kpathsea) No cnf value on lin e: OSFONTDIR =. This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.17 (TeX Live 2016/W32TeX) (INITEX) \write18 enabled. entering extended mode ! I can't find file `cont-en.mkii'. <*> cont-en.mkii \dump (Press Enter to retry, or Control-Z to exit) Please type another input file name: [:] mtx-context | running command: pdftex --ini --etex --8bit cont-nl.mkii \dump warning: c:/ConTeXt/tex/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf:49: (kpathsea) No cnf value on lin e: OSFONTDIR =. This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.17 (TeX Live 2016/W32TeX) (INITEX) \write18 enabled. entering extended mode ! I can't find file `cont-nl.mkii'. <*> cont-nl.mkii \dump (Press Enter to retry, or Control-Z to exit) Please type another input file name: ===================== Since I don't use mkii I ignored these errors and moved on, although both files are there in the tree - and I do not get this error on the original/vista machine. In any case, when I now run a file I get the same two luatex errors as at the beginning of this message. What's going on here? How do I fix it? Thanks in advance and Best wishes Idris -- Idris Samawi Hamid Professor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

How to extend btx rendering?
by Henri Menke 18 Jul '16

18 Jul '16

Dear list, It is common in physics (and probably mathematics) that papers are uploaded to an electronic archive prior to publishing them in the peer-review literature. In physical sciences this is https://arxiv.org. To cite such articles one usually uses the following format, here on the example of the most recent contribution to the Condensed Matter section: N.A. Kudryashov, A.A. Kutukov, and E.A. Mazur, Normal State of the Metallic Hydrogen Sulfide, arXiv:1607.04624 (2016). To reproduce this kind of format I tried to extend the APS rendering (see the long example below, sorry). Unfortunately, this does not work, because apparently the `eprint` and `archivePrefix` fields are not read in. The combination `eprint` and `archivePrefix` is used, because this is what the LaTeX package `biblatex` expects. How do I extend the btx rendering by these additional fields? Cheers, Henri --- \startbuffer [references] @article{Kudryashov2016, title = {Normal State of the Metallic Hydrogen Sulfide}, author = {Kudryashov, Nikolay A. and Kutukov, Alexander A. and Mazur, Evgeny A.}, year = {2016}, eprint = {1607.04624}, archivePrefix = {arxiv} } \stopbuffer \usebtxdataset[references.buffer] \usebtxdefinitions[aps] \definebtx[aps:list:eprint][aps:list][style=\tt] \starttexdefinition unexpanded btx:aps:eprints \btxdoif {eprint} { \btxstartstyleandcolor [aps:list:eprint] \btxdoif {archivePrefix} { \btxflush{archivePrefix}: } \btxflush{eprint} \btxstopstyleandcolor } \stoptexdefinition \startsetups btx:aps:list:article \texdefinition{btx:aps:author} \texdefinition{btx:aps:optional-title} \texdefinition{btx:aps:doi-url} {\texdefinition{btx:aps:journal-volume-year}} \texdefinition{btx:aps:eprint}% extension to APS style \texdefinition{btx:aps:note} \stopsetups \starttext \cite{Kudryashov2016} \placelistofpublications \stoptext

xtable align
by John Kitzmiller 18 Jul '16

18 Jul '16

In the first table, the lohi of align works, but the middle does not have any effect. Putting the content in a frame gives the desired result as in the second table. This is not a problem, I just wondered if it is supposed to work in the first table. Thanks, John \useMPlibrary[dum] \starttext \showframe \startxtable[frame=on,height=7cm,option=stretch,align={lohi,middle}] \startxrow \startxcell \externalfigure[dummy][width=5cm,height=5cm] \stopxcell \startxcell \externalfigure[dummy][width=3cm,height=3cm] \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable \startxtable [frame=on,height=7cm,option=stretch,align={lohi,middle}] \startxrow \startxcell \framed[frame=off,width=local]{\externalfigure[dummy][width=5cm,height=5cm]} \stopxcell \startxcell \framed[frame=off,width=local]{\externalfigure[dummy][width=3cm,height=3cm]} \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable \stoptext

Wrong alignment in natural tables?
by cryo shock 18 Jul '16

18 Jul '16

Hello together. I noticed a thing in CTX some time ago which bothers me. Please check the following code: \starttext \bTABLE \bTR \bTD[width=90px,align=left] align=left? \eTD \bTD[width=90px,align=right] align=right? \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext Can you verify that it's working like expected? Because when I compile it with latest beta i have the opposite alignment. Greetings, Seba

special characters in URLs
by Alan Bowen 18 Jul '16

18 Jul '16

I need to establish links to URLs that include the ampersand (&) and number sign (#). e.g., http://www.mhs.ox.ac.uk/collections/imu-search-page/record-details/?TitInve… and http://www.davidaking.org/instrument-catalogue-TOC.htm#part6 How does one do this? The best I have done thus far is to get broken links that display as they should. Alan

(again) PDF info fields
by Pablo Rodriguez 18 Jul '16

18 Jul '16

Hans, sorry for insisting in this issue. I may be missing consecuences or requirements that make impossible its implementation. I see two inconsistencies in the following output: \def\BookTitle{{\itd A \ConTeXt\ Book}} \def\BookAuthor{{\sc The Author}} \setupinteraction[state=start, title=\BookTitle, author=\BookAuthor] \enabledirectives[references.bookmarks.preroll] \placebookmarks[chapter,section,subsection] \starttext \chapter{\BookTitle} \section{\BookAuthor} \subsection{\ConTeXt\ is \TeX, but not \LaTeX} \stoptext Would it be possible that PDF info fields can have their contents prerolled as it happens with bookmarks? In the bookmarks, \ConTeXt\ is rendered as ConTEXT. Since “The TeXbook” only mentions \TeX and no \TEX, would it be possible to preroll \TeX, \ConTeXt and \LaTeX as TeX, ConTeXt and LaTeX? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

A new problem in old TOC
by Ursula Hermann 18 Jul '16

I have a problem with an old TOC. I tried to put in an Author, but the problem is, that there is so much distance between the forename and the surname, and than comes the title. Here my example: \mainlanguage[de] \setuppapersize[A4] \setupinteraction[state=start] % don't forget this line! % make chapter, section bookmarks visible when opening document \placebookmarks[chapter,section,subsection][chapter,section] \setupinteractionscreen[option=bookmark]\starttext \setuplist[chapter][width=fit] \setuplist[section][width=1em] \setuplist[subsection][width=1.5em, margin=0.6em] \setuplist[subject][margin=1.5em] \setupcombinedlist[content][list={part,chapter,section,subsection,subsubsect ion}] \setupinteraction [state=start, style=, color=, contrastcolor=] \setuplist [chapter] [after={\blank[line]}] \setupcombinedlist [content] [aligntitle=yes, alternative=c, interaction=all] \setuphead [part] [sectionresetset=, conversion=Romannumerals, placehead=yes, bodypartlabel=chapter] \setuphead [chapter] [sectionresetset=, conversion=, number=no, placehead=yes, bodypartlabel=part, sectionsegments=chater:chapter] \setuphead [section] [sectionsegments=section:section] \starttext \placecontent \setupuserpagenumber[numberconversion=romannumerals] \setcounter[userpage][2] \startchapter [title={Ursula Hermann {Danksagung}}] \starttext \stoptext Could somebody help me?
