help with command definition
by Pablo Rodriguez 14 Dec '14

14 Dec '14

Dear list, I have the following sample: \setuppapersize[A7,landscape] \def\slide#1{\startstandardmakeup#1\stopstandardmakeup} \def\codeslide#1{\startstandardmakeup \starttyping#1\stoptyping\stopstandardmakeup} \starttext \startstandardmakeup \ConTeXt \stopstandardmakeup \slide{\ConTeXt} \slide{\starttyping\ConTeXt\stoptyping} \codeslide{\ConTeXt} \startstandardmakeup \starttyping \ConTeXt \stoptyping \stopstandardmakeup \stoptext And two questions: Why the third makeup gives such verbose output? Why does \codeslide not work? I guess this may be related to expansion, but I must confess that I don’t know what expansion really is. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

mkii definition of \setupnotedefinition
by Gerben Wierda 13 Dec '14

13 Dec '14

While both mkii and mkiv are formally in operation, it seems ConTeXtgarden has moved to mkiv (more or less). So, as a mkii user, where do I find the documentation of \setupnotedefinition? G

bug in \setupitemize?
by Pablo Rodriguez 12 Dec '14

12 Dec '14

Dear list, I have the following sample: \showframe\showgrid \setuppapersize[A6] \setupitemize[inbetween={\blank[preference,big]}] \starttext \dorecurse{3}{\dorecurse{3}{Sometimes is really hard to place list items. Am I missing something? }\par} \startitemize \item \dorecurse{5}{First item that I try. } \item \dorecurse{15}{Second item that I write. } \item \dorecurse{5}{Third item that I forgot. } \stopitemize \stoptext Although I ask ConTeXt to try to insert a page break between list items (which for some strange reason is avoided), the whole first list item is moved to the next page, leaving a huge blank space in the previous page (where the first list item would completely). I have found this before and this is causing me problems when using lists. Isn’t this a bug? (If not moving a whole first item to the next page when it fits in the previous one, not obeying inbetween={\blank[preference,big]} should be a bug.) Or am I missing something? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Parameters of a table that interfere on another table

Hi, I do not understand why the parameters of the first table apply to the second table.

Latest beta: bug with 'convert()'?

Hello, I'm getting the following failure: ---- c:/Ctx-Beta/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/lpdf-xmp.lua:109: attempt to call field 'convert' (a nil value) stack traceback: c:/Ctx-Beta/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/lpdf-xmp.lua:109: in function 'valid_xmp' c:/Ctx-Beta/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/lpdf-xmp.lua:117: in function 'pdfaddxmpinfo' c:/Ctx-Beta/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/lpdf-xmp.lua:132: in function 'addtoinfo' [\directlua]:1: in main chunk 1 \environment ../../../../_e-TZ.mkiv 2 3 \starttext 4 \completecontent 5 \page 6 >> \stoptext 7 backend > xmp > using file 'c:/Ctx-Beta/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/lpdf-pdx.xml' ---- I guess it has to do something with latest XML/Lua extension; I don't have MnWE at the moment - but it might be fixed anyway...

Paragraph numbering
by MANUEL GONZALEZ SUAREZ 12 Dec '14

12 Dec '14

Hello everyone. I have a small question about paragraphs numbering. With LaTeX we have the possibility of numbering \paragraph and \subparagraph. With ConTeXt we have commands \subsubject, etc. What I like to do is number one paragraph in middle of the text, with the possibility of making a reference to it, with no spaces before or after. Something like this: [1] Text of the first paragraph. [2] Text of the second paragraph ... Should I use the \label or another command? Thanks.

Could anyone confirm the bug? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

two issues with new hyphenator
by Pablo Rodriguez 11 Dec '14

11 Dec '14

Many thanks for your new beta, Hans. >From the previous beta with the new hyphenator, I have two issues. With the new hyphenator, \hyphenation isn’t honored, such as in this sample: \setuphyphenation[method=traditional] \hyphenation{Nietz-sche} \starttext \hsize\zeropoint Nietzsche \stoptext Has the command been deprecated with the new hyphenator? The second issue is the ability to enable underscore hyphenation. Is there any way to apply the following definition to \hyphenatedurl? \unexpanded\def\underscorehyphenation#1% {\dontleavehmode \begingroup \prehyphenchar\minusone \localrightbox{\llap{\smash{\lower.1ex\hbox{_}}}}% \setbox\scratchbox\hbox{#1}% \prehyphenchar`-\relax \unhbox\scratchbox \endgroup} (This is adapted from the last sample in lang-url.mkiv.) Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

underscore hyphenation
by Pablo Rodriguez 11 Dec '14

11 Dec '14

Hans, the sample below hyphenates right what comes before \TexC in the paragraph. Also the contents of \TexC are hyphenated right. But hyphen is removed from standard text after the last \TexC command in the paragraph. I have just accidentally discovered it. Many thanks for your help, Pablo \startluacode function document.addfunnyhyphen(tfmdata) local underscore = utf.byte("_") local char = tfmdata.characters[underscore] tfmdata.characters[0xFE000] = { width = 0, height = 0, depth = 0, commands = { { "right", -char.width }, { "down", char.depth }, { "slot", 1, underscore }, } } end utilities.sequencers.appendaction("aftercopyingcharacters","after","document.addfunnyhyphen") \stopluacode \definefontfamily[mainface][serif][GaramondNo8] \definefontfamily[mainface][mono][Mechanica] \setupbodyfont[mainface, 14pt] \definetype [TeXcode] [option=TEX, compact=absolute, lines=hyphenated] \definehyphenationfeatures [whatever] [righthyphenchar="FE000] \setuphyphenation[method=traditional] \sethyphenationfeatures[strict] \unexpanded\def\TexC#1% {\dontleavehmode\begingroup \sethyphenationfeatures[whatever]% \normalexpanded{\TeXcode{\letterbackslash#1}}% \endgroup} \starttext \hsize\zeropoint newlargewordwithhyphen \TexC{definebodyfont} newlargewordwithnohyphen \stoptext -- http://www.ousia.tk

Ctx & XML
by Lukáš Procházka 11 Dec '14

11 Dec '14

Hello, I'm having problem using LuaXml library with Ctx, both using Lua ver. 5.2. LuaXml works fine with Lua standalone programs/scripts; but something weird occurs when used from within Ctx (e.g. a .xml file can be read successfully from standalone Lua with LuaXml lib; but the same code doesn't give the desired result when used in combination with Ctx; a problem might be version mismatch - I'm still using both Lua 5.1 and 5.2 including 3rd party modules in my scripts - but my latest tests with Ctx & LuaXml should have avoid this; or namespace mismatch...?). Anyway, does native Ctx XML API (has it its own namespace, like 'context.xml'?) provide a function to load a .xml file and to return its XML tree as a table, with nodes (as a table with node attributes as table members) in a proper sequence... something like LuaXml's 'xml.load("file.xml")' does? Or how to achieve this in a best way under Ctx: XML file -> Lua table/tree? Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.
