ConTeXt equivalent of \newmcodes@
by Maggyero 27 Apr '15

27 Apr '15

> do you have an example of usage Yes, I am trying to create the command \operatorname in ConTeXt. I know that in LaTeX \operatorname{xyz} is equivalent to \mathop{\newmcodes@\kern\z@\operator@font xyz}\csname nolimits@\endcsname} according to the AMSopn package ( http://www.bakoma-tex.com/doc/latex/amsmath/amsopn.pdf) and I am trying to translates that in ConTeXt: \mathop{\newmcodes@\kern\zeropoint\mfunction{xyz}}\nolimits but \newmcodes@ produces an error. In LaTeX, \newmcodes@ is defined as \begingroup \catcode`\"=12 \gdef\newmcodes@{\mathcode`\'39\mathcode`\*42\mathcode`\."613A% \ifnum\mathcode`\-=45 \else \mathchardef\std@minus\mathcode`\-\relax \fi \mathcode`\-45\mathcode`\/47\mathcode`\:"603A\relax} \endgroup according to the AMSopn package, so I have copied the code in my document (I only removed the @ so that I don't have to convert its catcode) but the if condition gives an error (however it compiles fine without the if condition). I also know that there is the ConTeXt command \definemathcommand[nolop]{xyz} which I thought stands as an equivalent to the \operatorname wrapper \DeclareMathOperator, but apparently not since it doe not use the 3 commands 1. \newmcodes@ 2. \kern\z@ 3. \operator@font in it, so I wonder the point of such a wrapper since all it seems it does is translates to \mathop{xyz}\nolimits To sum up, I would like to have a \DeclareMathOperator in ConTeXt, so here are my 2 questions: 1. What is the ConTeXt equivalent of \newmcodes@? 2. What is the point of \definemathcommand? Maggyero

Changing coversion of formulas
by Aditya Mahajan 27 Apr '15

27 Apr '15

Hi, How does one change the numberconversion for math formulas? The old method: \setupformulas[numberconversion=set 1] \starttext \placeformula \startformula E = mc^2 \stopformula \stoptext does not appear to work. Thanks, Aditya

ConTeXt equivalent of \newmcodes@
by Maggyero 27 Apr '15

27 Apr '15

Dear list members, What is the ConTeXt equivalent of the LaTeX function \newmcodes@ defined in the AMSopn package (this function is used inside \DeclareMathOperator and \operatorname and has the effect of resetting text-mode punctuation characters such as *, -, /, :, and ’ in operator names)? Thank you in advance.

Problem with margin figures and whitespace in text
by Rik Kabel 26 Apr '15

26 Apr '15

I have two problems with figures placed into the left or right margin. When the figure is in a group, extra whitespace is inserted between the paragraphs that precede and follow the placefigure command. This happens for figures placed by startplacefigure/stopplacefigure and tradiitonal placefigure commands, and paragraphs placed by startparagraph/stopparagraph or marked by par or newlines. When the figure is not in a group, whitespace called for by \setupwhitespace is lost, except when the paragraphs are marked by traditional means. That is, whitespace is lost when startparagraph/stopparagraph is used. Interestingly, when that is changed to bpar/epar, the problem for ungrouped figures disappears, but as I understand it, bpar/epar is not a real substitute for startparagraph/stopparagraph. There is probably a simple explanation, but it eludes me. I prefer to be able to use startparagraph/stopparagraph, and it is sometimes desirable to place a figure into a group in order to prevent unique settings from leaking out. The following should demonstrate the problem. Turning on grid setting makes it worse. I get the same result with current betas and older versions. \useMPlibrary [dum] %\showgrid \setuplayout [%grid=yes, backspace=151pt,leftmargin=117pt] \setupwhitespace[big] \define\Paragraph{\startparagraph\input khatt-en\stopparagraph} \starttext { \subject{Start/stop paragraphs and figures} \subsubject{Group, extra whitespace} \Paragraph \Paragraph \begingroup \startplacefigure[location={leftmargin,none}] \externalfigure[A] \stopplacefigure \endgroup \Paragraph \Paragraph \subsubject{No group, no whitespace} \Paragraph \Paragraph \startplacefigure[location={leftmargin,none}] \externalfigure[A] \stopplacefigure \Paragraph \Paragraph \Paragraph } \page { \subject{Start/stop paragraphs, traditional figures} \subsubject{Group, extra whitespace} \Paragraph \Paragraph {\placefigure[leftmargin,none]{}{\externalfigure[A]}} \Paragraph \Paragraph \subsubject{No group, no whitespace} \Paragraph \Paragraph \placefigure[leftmargin,none]{}{\externalfigure[A]} \Paragraph \Paragraph \Paragraph } \page { \subject{Traditional paragraphs, start/stop figures} \subsubject{Group, extra whitespace} \input khatt-en\par \input khatt-en\par \begingroup% or \bgroup or { \startplacefigure[location={leftmargin,none}] \externalfigure[A] \stopplacefigure \endgroup% or \egroup or } \input khatt-en\par \input khatt-en\par \subsubject{Okay} \input khatt-en\par \input khatt-en\par \startplacefigure[location={leftmargin,none}] \externalfigure[A] \stopplacefigure \input khatt-en\par \input khatt-en\par \input khatt-en\par } \page { \subject{Traditional paragraphs, traditional figures} \subsubject{Group, extra whitespace} \input khatt-en\par \input khatt-en\par {\placefigure[leftmargin,none]{}{\externalfigure[A]}} \input khatt-en\par \input khatt-en\par \subsubject{Okay} \input khatt-en\par \input khatt-en\par \placefigure[leftmargin,none]{}{\externalfigure[A]} \input khatt-en\par \input khatt-en\par \input khatt-en\par } \stoptext -- Rik

simple signature boxes
by henman 26 Apr '15

26 Apr '15

I now I could use a table to do this but I should also be able to do this with \framed and \startcombination[ cos * rows ]] But no matter what order I give to [ n x c ] the result is always a vertical split and not a horizontal one. I want the left half of the page for a "Buyer's" signature linr and the right of the page for a "Seller's" signature. %%%%%%%%% Mimimal Expample Follows: \starttext { \switchtobodyfont[8pt] \startcombination[2*1] { \framed[frame=off,topframe=on,leftframe=on,rulethickness=2pt,width=6cm, align={flushleft}] { \fillinrules[n=1]{\bf Buyer's Signature: } } } { \framed[frame=off,topframe=on,leftframe=on,rulethickness=2pt,width=6cm, align={flushleft}] { \fillinrules[n=1]{\bf Seller's Signature: } } } \stopcombination } \stoptext % % End of minimal example\\\ Any advice would be appreciated. Thank You. Henman

testing 32bit and 64bit versions in Win7 64bit
by Pablo Rodriguez 26 Apr '15

26 Apr '15

Dear list, I have the following sample: \starttext \dorecurse{10}{ \dorecurse{10}{ \dorecurse{10}{ \dorecurse{10}{ \input zapf\par}}}} \stoptext I used it to test compilation speed from both 32bit and 64bit. The machine has an Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4440 CPU @ 3.10GHz processor with 8GB RAM running Win7 64bit. Compiling both with luajittex and --purgeall (more than once), sample results are: 2015.04.16 15:14 (32bit) - 153.959 seconds 2015.04.16 15:14 (64bit) - 154.908 seconds Shouldn’t the 64bit version be much faster or am I missing something? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Feature request for export: Interactive Notes
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي حامد 25 Apr '15

25 Apr '15

Dear gang, I've spent a considerable amount of time over the past month trying to master the art of xhtml output. We are close to being able to use ConTeXt as a replacement for markdown in, e.g., WordPress. Indeed, I plan to present the results of this experiment (porting an entire academic article to xhtml and WP) in a future article for one of the TeX journals... There is at least one crucial feature that's still needed. Perhaps it is already supported: If so, it would be much appreciated if someone kindly explained how to do it. In a web post (or epub), one wants to be able to interact back and forth with notes. Here is how markdown (extra) does it: ========Input======== That's some text with a footnote.[^1] [^1]: And that's the footnote. That's the second paragraph of the note. More main text ========Output======== That's some text with a footnote.<a href="#fn:1" rel="footnote">1</a> More main text <div class="footnotes"> <hr /> <ol> <li id="fn:1"> And that's the footnote. That's the second paragraph of the note. <a href="#fnref:1" rev="footnote">↩</a> </li> </ol> </div> ===================== The resulting html file is attached. '↩' corresponds to U+21A9 (↩). See also https://michelf.ca/projects/php-markdown/extra/#footnotes Now we can of course already export xhtml footnotes from ConTeXt but there will be no interactive links. In the current project, there are 77 footnotes; I had to add the links manually to get the output to do what we wanted. [Also note that it makes much more sense to export the footnotes as endnotes, particularly for long blog posts.] Is there already a way to get done automatically? In any case: This feature is a must-do in my humble opinion. Aside from a few other export bugs, this is one of the few features still needed so that ConTeXt can completely replace markdown for (advanced) web posts. Thanks is advance and Best wishes Idris -- Idris Samawi Hamid, Professor Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

widows and orphans in lines
by Pablo Rodriguez 25 Apr '15

25 Apr '15

Hans, I wonder whether this is the right time to implement widows and orphans in lines. Sample file: \setuppapersize[A10] \setuppagenumbering[location=] \starttext \startlines a line a line a line a line a line a line a line a line a line a line \stoplines \stoptext I’m not in need of this, but I thought you may be interested in checking this with the new luatex version. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
