\setupnotedefinition in mkiv?
by Gerben Wierda 01 Mar '15

01 Mar '15

What do I replace these mkii command with in mkiv? The first seems to be ignored (all numbering is capital roman) and the others lead to an error message in mkiv \setupfootnotes[conversion=set 2,way=bypage,align=flushleft] \setupnotedefinition[footnote][indenting={yes,medium}] \setupnotedefinition[endnote][indenting={yes,medium},style={\switchtobodyfont[10pt]}]

Incompatibility catcodes of characters in ConTeXt and PlainTeX
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 01 Mar '15

01 Mar '15

Hello ConTeXist. Petr Olsak (maintainer of Czech/Slovak support for TeX) helped me with simple typing of sign charts. He made a PlainTeX macro who is working too in ConTeXt (see http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/230273/typing-of-math-sign-charts) Petr Olsak (not ConTeXt even LaTeX user) was modified PlainTeX macro to work in ConTeXt and asked the question: "Does anybody know why ConTeXt sets catcode of & to 12? This means that it is incompatible with plain TeX". May I therefore ask , what is the reason that has character & catcode other than in Knuth PlainTeX? There are catcodes of other characters incompatible? Thanx Jaroslav Hajtmar

total pages in external PDF
by Pablo Rodriguez 26 Feb '15

26 Feb '15

Dear list, I need to get the number of pages from an external PDF file that I also define with an \env. I think I could get something like this.: \def\Myfilename{\env{filename}} doc = epdf.open(arg[\MyFilename]) total_pages_ = doc:getNumPages() \def\Mypages{total_pages} But mixing both lua and ConTeXt commands the wrong way won’t work. Sorry, but this is all Greek to me. Although I see how it could be done, I cannot write the code for this. Which is the right way to get the code above working? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

CSV scanners built in ConTeXt - feature or bug?
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 26 Feb '15

26 Feb '15

Hi ConTeXist A few days ago Hans pointed me builtin CSV splitter. I tried to test it sure will come in handy for my needs. I found that if the CSV file contain a blank line, then it stops processing the file (see my minimal example). It is clear to me that the incorrectness of file format (eg. different number of columns in rows etc.) may cause interruption of processing, however, I want to ask whether there is an opportunity to process the CSV file with blank lines until the end of CSV file. I noticed that when I exporting data from Excel sometimes happens that in the export file will appear blank line. Is it interrupt processing a feature of a buildin splitter or is it a bug? Can it possibly somehow fix or add new functionality? Thanx Jaroslav Hajtmar Here is minimal example: \starttext \startluacode local mycsvsplitter = utilities.parsers.rfc4180splitter{ separator = ",", quote = '"', } local crap = io.loaddata("data.txt") -- with header variant local tablerows, columnname = mycsvsplitter(crap,true) inspect(tablerows) inspect(columnname) -- without header variant -- local tablerows = mycsvsplitter(crap) -- inspect(tablerows) for i=1,#tablerows do local l = tablerows[i] for j=1,#l do context(l[j]..", ") end context('\\crlf') end \stopluacode \stoptext % <-------------- here start data.txt file ----------------------> first,second,third,fourth 1,"2","3","4" "a","b","c","d" "foo","bar""baz","boogie","xyzzy" " "," "," "," " "And now","followed by","several","blank lines" "After several","empty rows","data continues","here" 11,"22","33","44" "aa","bb","cc","dd" % <-------------- and here stop data.txt file ---------------------->

textbackground
by Alan BRASLAU 26 Feb '15

26 Feb '15

Hello, For a multilingual document, alternating one language or another, not necessarily a bilingual, translated text, I thought about using textbackground to set-off paragraphs. This technique could also apply to a single language text having multiple levels of information, perhaps statements followed by discussion, etc. A problem appears with respect to footnotes that I do not know how to handle. If the backgrounded text goes across pages placing footnotes, then the footnote also gets the background. This is incorrect, perhaps a bug. Second problem, if a footnote of a backgrounded text gets placed on a following page, then it may not get a background. (It is not clear to me whether it would be correct for footnotes to get the background or not.) Of course, a solution to this secondary problem might be before={\startlocalfootnotes}, after={\placelocalfootnotes\stoplocalfootnotes}, although such a solution would postpone backgrounded footnotes to the end of the backgrounded text. Alan MWE: \definetextbackground [spanish] [location=paragraph, frame=off, before={\language[es]}, background=color, backgroundcolor=lightgray] \starttext \input darwin% \startfootnote \input dawkins \stopfootnote \input tufte \startspanish \input quevedo-es% \startfootnote \input cervantes-es \stopfootnote \stopspanish \input zapf \stoptext

Page numbering, new style and running heads.
by John Culleton 25 Feb '15

25 Feb '15

The new method of handling page numbering (roman and arabic) using e.g., \setupuserpagenumber[numberconversion=Romannumerals] \setcounter[userpage][5] works just fine if you remember one thing: in running heads the word "pagenumber" has to be replaced with "userpagenumber". But in the \chapter setup it is still "pagenumber" I spent the morning and a few extra minutes figuring those two things out. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html Updated PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus 1.4.5" coming soon at http://www.booklocker.com/!
