Questions on registers, and on processors used with registers
by Rik Kabel 05 Oct '15

05 Oct '15

A few questions on registers, and on processors used with registers: Can processors be used on entries in \setregisterentry? My tests so far have not been successful. Can processors be used on one level of a two-level register {\index{Name+Processor->quotation precis}? Again, no success with attempts. Can something other than page numbers be the indexed item? I have a book with many quotations, each identified by a number (generated by \definelabel). For an index of quotations, it would be more useful to point to that quotation number than the page number. Perhaps the last requirement would be served by building a list with the quote number and quotation precis, suppressing the page numbers with pagenumber=\gobbleoneargument. But placelist does not seem to behave as one would hope. The example in the wiki for setuplist (shown below) does not print the numbers (1., 2.) in the first braced argument to writetolist. \definelist[Reprints][criterium=all] \starttext \section{Sec 1} \writetolist[Reprints]{1.}{List entry A} \subsection{Subsec 1} \writebetweenlist[Reprints]{\hrule} \writetolist[Reprints]{2.}{List entry B} \completelist[Reprints] \stoptext I would prefer a register solution to take advantage of similar formatting (column support and such) provided there, since this will appear with the book’s standard indices. -- Rik

Section head without numbers, ToC with numbers
by Erik Margraf 03 Oct '15

03 Oct '15

Dear List, is it possible to achieve the following: First section .... Some Text Second section .... Some Text Table of Contents 1 First section 2 Second section I tried both: a) \setuphead[section][sectionnumber=no] b) \setupheads[sectionnumber=no] I also tried \setuphead[section][number=no] This gave me sections without numbers, but als a ToC without numbers Thanks Erik

Ampersand followed by semicolon in XML: possible bug?
by massifr＠fastwebnet.it 29 Sep '15

29 Sep '15

Hello list, I've found what it looks like a bug in XML handling in ConTeXt. Try this: \startbuffer[test] <text>  Me & my friends; you & your friends.  Me & my friends. You & your friends.  Me & my friends; you & your friends. </text> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups xml:somesetups \xmlsetsetup{#1}{text}{xml:text} \xmlsetsetup{#1}{p}{xml:p} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:somesetups} \startxmlsetups xml:text \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:p \xmlflush{#1}\par\blank[line] \stopxmlsetups \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{test}{} \stoptext In the first case, the ampersand and the following semicolon are eaten up. I've found a way around, until the bug is fixed (if it's a bug and not my limited knowledge of ConTeXt): put a XML comment after the ampersand, and everything works as expected.

Error notification on the wiki (Loops_and_Recursion)
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 29 Sep '15

29 Sep '15

Hello ConTeXist. Obviously, I discovered a mistake on the ConTeXt wiki. In section of cycles at URL http://wiki.contextgarden.net/System_Macros/Loops_and_Recursion are mentioned macros \looplevel and \loopdepth. (In text: When needed, one can call for \looplevel and \loopdepth.) It seems, that these macros are not defined. Or I make anything wrong? Jaroslav Hajtmar

Next problem with rfc4180splitter()
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 29 Sep '15

29 Sep '15

Hello ConTeXist, Some time ago, Hans solved my problem with the splitter. Now I solve correction an error in my module, which to me signaled Pablo Rodriguez. The problem is with jednosloupcovými CSV files, which thus do not contain separators row fields. Pablo say, that CSV files without colon contains separators, because line breaks are separators. Commas—or semicolons—are required when having more than a cell in the same line. For example LibreOffice Calc spares the final semicolon when only the file only contains one column and this behavior seems to be right, according to the RFC4180: Common Format and MIME Type for Comma-Separated Values (CSV) Files. We think that the final comma separator should optional, not mandatory. The following example shows, however, that rfc4180splitter () in onecolumn CSV file fails and falls with an error. Making I'm a mistake somewhere, or is something else wrong with the splitter? Thanx Jaroslav Hajtmar Here is minimal example: \starttext % mycsvfile.txt content one column data without separator: % a % b % c % d % e % f % myothercsvfile.txt content two columns data: % a,1 % b,2 % c,3 % d,4 % e,5 % f,6 \startluacode local mycsvsplitter = utilities.parsers.rfc4180splitter() -- local crap = io.loaddata("mycsvfile.txt") -- crashed (error code attempt to index field - a nil value) local crap = io.loaddata("myothercsvfile.txt") -- work fine local list, names = mycsvsplitter(crap) inspect(list) inspect(names) l = list for i = 1, 6 do context(l[i][1]..', ') end \stopluacode \stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] PPCHTEX: bonds overlaps the radicals groups

Can you provide me a very simple example? The idea is to draw the bond, then move, then the atom: \chemical [ONE,SB5,Z5,.2MOV1,Z0,.2MOV1,SB1,1.2MOV1,Z0] [H_3C,CH_2,CH_2] a bit sloppy, perhaps, but such is the syntax. On the other hand, one can make multiple calls to \chemical, thus making the code more readable. Alternately, one can shorten the bond segments which are defined as [.25,.75] of the bond length, but this turns out to be less aesthetic than adding small moves. One could imagine also to draw the text inside a framed box using a white background, as in \framed[frame=off,background=color,backgroundcolor=white]{\chemical{CH_2}} but I do not like this solution at all. I suppose that we could modify the underlying MP code to avoid extending any bond over the text box, but this would impose that the user draw the nodes before the bonds and would surely fail as one builds molecules in segments (unless the user be fully aware of the drawing process). We decided that this would be worse. Alan

table of contents
by Meer, Hans van der 28 Sep '15

28 Sep '15

I would like to restrict the tableofcontents to chapters only, leaving the sections etc. out. \completecontent does not seem the right command here. I am sure it is simple, but I don't see it. How to accomplish? Hans van der Meer

PPCHTEX: bonds overlaps the radicals groups
by DesdeChaves 28 Sep '15

28 Sep '15

Some time ago I wrote the code attached to create random branched organic molecules. However, with recent versions of Context the carbon-carbon bonds overwrites the radicals. How can I fix this? Another question: is there a way to change the bonds color? I would like to blank some radicals and bonds and ask the students to draw it. Thanks and have a nice sunday.
