context -> docx ??
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 20 Jan '15

20 Jan '15

Dear gang, I'm currently writing a paper with very basic typographical needs: blockquotes, emphasis, bibliography, perhaps a graphic or two. The publisher wants the thing in Word, naturally. The last time I did something like this I set up a markdown document and just exported it to both docx and to context. For simple documents this is at least workable, but I'd prefer to write in context, not markdown. Now it's been a while since I've experimented with ConTeXt and epub. From lightly perusing the list it seems that there has been considerable movement on this front. So my question: Has anyone here succeeded in the following workflow: context -> xml -> docx [perhaps via pandoc]? If so, do any of you have any samples of such a workflow that work with the latest context? Or am I stuck with markdown?

bib module - urgent!
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 20 Jan '15

20 Jan '15

Dear gang, I am currently writing an article (mkiv) with lots of bibliographical references. But t-bib.tex seems to have disappeared, and the following simple file fails: ============ \starttext \usemodule[bib] \startpublication[k=haq, t=book, a=Haq, y=1994, s=Haq94] \author[]{Syed Nomanul}[S.]{}{Haq} \title{Names, Natures, and Things} \pubname{Kluwer} \city{Dordrecht} \pubyear{1994} \stoppublication \cite[haq] \stoptext ============ C:/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/publ-usr.lua:95: attempt to call field 'markasupdated' (a nil value) stack traceback: C:/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/publ-usr.lua:95: in function 'addbtxentry' [\directlua]:1: in main chunk 4 \startpublication[k=haq, 5 t=book, 6 a=Haq, 7 y=1994, 8 s=Haq94] 9 \author[]{Syed Nomanul}[S.]{}{Haq} 10 \title{Names, Natures, and Things} 11 \pubname{Kluwer} 12 \city{Dordrecht} 13 \pubyear{1994} 14 >> \stoppublication 15 16 \cite[haq] 17 18 \stoptext ? ============ Now my understanding is that the new biblio system does not use bbl files yet. But I stopped using .bib files the moment Taco released the original bibliography module. Biblio databases are all in .bbl format. I also set up an extensive bib environment (attached) to take care of all sorts of things. If this is broken, can it be fixed asap? Please don't make me have to convert bbl to bib; that will be beyond depressing. Also don't want to lose my environment commands. This is urgent because there is only a short time to finish this article, and I really want to spend more time writing the content than debugging Context! :-) :-) :-) Best wishes Idris -- Idris Samawi Hamid Professor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

This is what I always do and it still works with the standalone that I installed on january 13 this year. Best regards, Robert Blackstone

Issues in export
by Henning Hraban Ramm 20 Jan '15

20 Jan '15

Hi, please consider the example at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Export#More_useful_example and its result at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Export#raw.xml_2 etc. The <metadata> tags end up within the first section (in this case: chapter), even if they’re defined before \starttext. Please fix, thanks. Further, I wonder about the tagging of footnotes (and probably other references, didn’t look into them yet): This is completely visual instead of semantical: (in *-raw.xml:) Quoth<descriptionsymbol detail="footnote"><sup>1</sup></descriptionsymbol> ... <description detail="footnote" chain="footnote"> <descriptiontag><sup>1</sup> </descriptiontag> <descriptioncontent>by Edgar Allan Poe</descriptioncontent> </description> (in *-div.xhtml:) Quoth<div class="descriptionsymbol footnote"><div class="sup">1</div></div> ... <div class="description footnote"> <div class="descriptiontag"><div class="sup">1</div> </div> <div class="descriptioncontent">by Edgar Allan Poe</div> </div> In raw.xml I’d prefer something like Quoth<description detail="footnote" id="1">by Edgar Allan Poe</description> or Quoth<description detail="footnote" id="1" /> ... <description detail="footnote" id="1"> <descriptiontag>1</descriptiontag> <descriptioncontent>by Edgar Allan Poe</descriptioncontent> </description> and in div.xhtml something that works in HTML, like a title: Quoth<div class="descriptionsymbol footnote" title="by Edgar Allan Poe"><div class="sup">1</div></div> or a link: Quoth<a href="#footnote_1"><div class="descriptionsymbol footnote"><div class="sup">1</div></div></a> … <a name=„footnote_1“> <div class="description footnote"> <div class="descriptiontag"><div class="sup">1</div> </div> <div class="descriptioncontent">by Edgar Allan Poe</div> </div> </a> Greetlings, Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)

What happened to the ePub script?
by Henning Hraban Ramm 20 Jan '15

20 Jan '15

Hi, with the latest betas, the ePub script doesn’t work anymore. Regardless with which file I call it, I get only: $ mtxrun --script mtx-epub --make solo resolvers | caching | skipping 'files' for 'home:texmf' from '/Users/hraban/Library/texmf/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/trees/54be04d87dd160089f572b19cb5c97e9' (version mismatch) mtx-epub | unknown specificaton file for 'solo' Previously, you didn’t need to call it with any specification file, but only with a plain ConTeXt file like \setupbackend[ export=export.xml,xhtml=yes, ] \setupexport[ firstpage={koe.png}, ] \settaggedmetadata[ author={Hraban}, ] \starttext \startchapter[title={Chapter One}] \startsection[title={Section One}] \input tufte \stopsection \startsection[title={Section Two}] \input knuth \externalfigure[koe][width=\textwidth] \stopsection \stopchapter \stoptext An export.specification file was previously created by the script, I don’t know (anymore) for what. Calling the script with one of those also doesn’t do anything. Greetlings, Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)

Using luacode
by Eric Gerard 20 Jan '15

20 Jan '15

Dear list members I think I don’t really understand the way to use a context command with luacode ! What I attempt to do is to write a function in lua which computes the position of one or several bottom tabs depending on : line number (1 is the lowest, 2 is above etc), number of tabs, horizontal position of the tab on the line. The height of the tab is a Tex value \hauteuronglet So I compute the x and y value and the width of the tab(s) After that I want to define a layer with the tab(s) in a table I can’t have the context.setlayer working properly. For sure, this code should be cleaned after testing. Here is the code I wrote \definelayer[OngletBas][x=0mm, y=0mm, width=\paperwidth, height=\paperheight] % variables \newdimen\hauteuronglet \hauteuronglet=1cm %variables onglet gauche \newdimen\vertposonglet \newdimen\hauteurzoneacouper %variables onglet bas \newdimen\largeurzoneongletsbas \newdimen\ordonneeongletsbas \newdimen\abscisseongletsbas \newdimen\largeurongletbas \startluacode function test(opt_1, arg_1) local table = lpeg.split(",",interfaces.tolist(opt_1)) local labels = lpeg.split(",",arg_1) local NumLigne = table[1] local NbTotalOnglets = table[2] local PremierOnglet = table[3] local decalage = tex.sp("6.5pt") tex.dimen.ordonneeongletsbas = tex.dimen.paperheight - tex.dimen.hauteuronglet * NumLigne tex.dimen.largeurzoneongletsbas = tex.dimen.paperwidth - tex.dimen.backspace tex.dimen.largeurongletbas = tex.dimen.largeurzoneongletsbas / NbTotalOnglets tex.dimen.abscisseongletsbas = tex.dimen.backspace + tex.dimen.largeurongletbas * (PremierOnglet - 1) local x_ongletsbas = tex.dimen.abscisseongletsbas - decalage local y_ongletsbas = tex.dimen.ordonneeongletsbas local largeurongletbas = tex.dimen.largeurongletbas context.setupbackgrounds({"page"},{background = "OngletBas"}) context.setlayer({"OngletBas"},{hoffset = x_ongletsbas, voffset = y_ongletsbas}, context.setupTABLE({c},{1,2,3,4,5,6},{width = largeurongletbas}) context.bTABLE() context.bTR() context.bTD() context(labels[1]) context.eTD() context.eTR() context.eTABLE() ) end interfaces.definecommand { name = "test", arguments = { { "option", "hash" }, { "content", "string" }, }, macro = test, } \stopluacode I have to add also (I don’t understand why) but I need to add an offset of -6.5pt to adjust the position of the table. Thanks in advance Eric Gerard

Define a new command from the command \periods[n]
by Fabrice Couvreur 19 Jan '15

19 Jan '15

Hi, Is it possible to redefine the command \periods[n] to have a line that goes from the end of the word to the edge of the page without having to play on the number n ?

filter module's inline command and supressed spacing
by Piotr Kopszak 19 Jan '15

19 Jan '15

Hello list, It looks like a bug in the filter module, but maybe I'm doing something wrong. Any help will be greatly appreciated. When using the \inlinepandoc command in the first paragraph below the space at the end of the paragraph in "życiaA. Mickiewicza" is supressed when it should be "życia A. Mickiewicza". This does not happen when using pandoc environment. If you want to run the minimal example you have to make sure you got the recent pandoc which supports twiki input format and create the "output" subdirectory in your working directory.

Attachment marks to be aligned horizontally
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 19 Jan '15

19 Jan '15

Hello, marks of attachments in the attached MWE are aligned in the following way: - after A and C - horizontally, - after B - vertically. The only difference is that \blank precedes in the B case. So - how to force horizontal alignment for attachment marks in the B case, supposing that \blank before is necessary for any reason? The code follows: ---- \setupinteraction[state=start] % \starttext A \attachment[t-Att2.mkiv] \attachment[t-Att2.mkiv] \startitemize[][] \item B \blank \attachment[t-Att2.mkiv] \attachment[t-Att2.mkiv] \item C \attachment[t-Att2.mkiv] \attachment[t-Att2.mkiv] \stopitemize \stoptext ---- TIA.
