XML - some troubles

Hello, suppose having: ---- t.xml <a> <aa number="111">AA</aa> <ab>AB</ab> </a> ---- and the Ctx source: ---- t.mkiv \startxmlsetups xml:T \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{*}{+} % \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{*}{-} % Empties output?! \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{a/ab}{xml:*} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:ab \section{New section \xmlatt{#1/../aa}{number}} \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:T} \starttext Hello \xmlprocessfile{id}{t.xml}{} \stoptext ---- Some questions: 1) Why the line "\xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{*}{-}" (try to uncomment!) causes the whole output is empty, even if I specify another operation for "a/ab" elements later? My intention is to have "{*}{-}" (don't flush anything by default), excluding elements specified later, e.g. "a/ab" (with another operation specified); how to achieve this? 2) How to get "aa.number" from within "ab" element? I believed "\xmlatt{#1/../aa}{number}" within "a/ab" will do that, but...? How to do that? Thank you in advance; I'm not very familiar with Ctx XML processing (so far)... Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

\executesystemcommand dont work?

Dear Jaroslav, > Does anyone know how to fix it? > I'm not ConTeXt expert and I'm not Windows expert too. I don't know a reason, but ... Very rare case: c:\windows\system32 is erased from your PATH by an accident, so cmd.exe cannot be found by luatex. Please check the PATH variable on your system. Thanks, Akira

\executesystemcommand dont work?
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 16 Feb '15

16 Feb '15

Hi ConTeXist. After a long time I tried to recompile ConTeXt file that contained the \executesystemcommand. It seems to me that this command stopped working. Can anyone confirm or refute this my perception? I call \executesystemcommand to compiling another ConTeXt file from running ConTeXt. I use Windows 7 and problem is under TeXlive 2014 version and Standalone version too. Thanx Jaroslav Hajtmar Here is my minimal example: When I compile maintestfile.tex, then I expect, that compilebyexecutesystemcommand.pdf is created during compilation of maintestfile.tex file. I have two files. First is "test.tex" name: \starttext \input tufte \stoptext And second is file maintestfile.tex: \starttext \executesystemcommand{context --result=compilebyexecutesystemcommand.pdf test.tex} \input knuth \stoptext

Footnotes and Marginal texts
by Robert Krug 15 Feb '15

15 Feb '15

Greetings, I am working on a document with many annotations of different types, and have a couple of questions. (Before the questions, though, I am quite impressed with ConTeXt so far. It is much nicer to work with than any of the TeX or LaTeX packages I have worked with before.) First, what is the preferred way to get marginal text? Is \margintext, \inmargin, or some other the current best practice? Second, is there a way to get marginal text for a footnote? Here is a minimal working example: \starttext Text for the\footnote{A\margintext{Where am I?} footnote.} main\margintext{I am here.} body. \stoptext Finally, is there a way to have different classes of footnotes? I would like to have three classes of footnotes to be displayed something like: —— 1. first footnote of class 1 2. second footnote of class 1. —— a. first footnote of class 2. b. second footnote of class 2. —— 1. first footnote of class 3. 2. second footnote of class 3. That is, the footnotes of each class should appear together, with a “normal” footnote rule above them. Each class of footnotes should also have its own numbering scheme. Footnotes of class 1 are “regular” footnotes in the main text body. Footnotes of class 2 will be longer, and will occasionally be more than one paragraph. They, also, will occur in the main text body. To complicate matters, they may have marginal notes and footnotes (of class 3). Footnotes of class 3 are footnotes that occur in footnotes of class 2. Many thanks, Robert

replacing images in PDF documents
by Pablo Rodriguez 15 Feb '15

15 Feb '15

Dear list, I have the following situation, that I would like to solve using ConTeXt. I have to generate a bunch of PDF documents daily, that someone else has to validate (put a stamp on it [let’s put it that way]). It might be a physical stamp, but it might be also a vector image. One of the issues is that the stamp has a different place in each document (almost). Another issue is that the stamp should be added after the document is generated, not before. Having the following sample: \starttext I want this image replaced: \externalfigure[cow][scale=200] \stoptext After generating the document (and not modifiying or recompiling the source), is there a way to replace the image with another one? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Numbers in appendix roman, but want arabic
by Mikael P. Sundqvist 14 Feb '15

14 Feb '15

Hi, with the example below, I have two problems (that are probably related). In the appendix, the Theorem is numbered "Theorem II" instead of "Theorem 2", i.e. roman numbers are used instead of arabic ones. Also, when I refer to Theorem 1 from the appendix , it says "Theorem I". Again with roman number instead of arabic. I would prefer "Theorem 1". So, the question reads: How can I get arabic numbers also in the appendix? (The appendix itself has the letter A as I want it to) /Mikael \starttext \defineenumeration[Theorem] \defineconversionset [bodypart:sectioncounter] [n,n,n] [n] \defineconversionset [appendix:sectioncounter] [n,n,A] [n] \setuphead[chapter,section][sectionconversionset=sectioncounter] \chapter{Foo} \startTheorem[thm:main] This is a theorem. \stopTheorem \startappendices \title{Appendix} \section{This is the first appendix} \startTheorem This is another theorem. \stopTheorem What if we refer to the first theorem, Theorem~\in[thm:main]? \stopappendices \stoptext

Asciidoc to PDF over Context
by Tobias Famulla 13 Feb '15

13 Feb '15

Hello Mailing-List, I used Latex for a few years in university to create reports for assignments and also to write my bachelor thesis (I would have liked to use Context, but the right schema for citation was not available and I had no time to create it myself). Over the time I got a little bit frustrated with Latex, because it has many modules and most of the time gets the job done, but writing Latex can sometimes be quite hard sometime to me (you have to have the modules installed, tweak around with charactersets, imagepositioning, ...). In between I looked at much smaller and sleaker document representations languages (asciidoc, restructuredText, Markdown) and writing in it is a pleasure compared to Latex (I haven't really tried out Context but looked over the documentation and it looked more promising but shares the same design ideas). Asciidoc is even able to declarate source code listings and formulas. Never the less, the output to Pdf is not always the nicest one. The reason why I now write to this list, is, that I imagine, that Context could be the right processor to create beautiful PDFs out of intermediate formats (DocBook 5 or Asciidoc). For the conversion to Latex a module for asciidoctor (ruby implementation) is in developement. The ideal system I imagine would be close to what is used with HTML and CSS on the web: Having a easy to use file format to writing you documents (Asciidoc or DocBook as intermediate format) and a system to create the PDFs (maybe Context and a Context-Template) So my main questions are: - Are there straigt forward ways to create PDFs with Context using Docbook 5? - Are there "not that hard" possibilites to write extentions to Context to do exactly that (maybe using Lua)? - Does it make more sense, when using another input format like Asciidoc, to write a converter which directly creates a Context-document? (although it might be more versatile to use DocBook for other formats like Markdown or DocBook itself) Sincerely, Tobias
