(critical edition) notes alphabetically sorted
by Pablo Rodriguez 23 Dec '13

23 Dec '13

Hi Thomas, Luigi and Hans, I’m aware that this isn’t exactly a feature for critical editions, but this is a useful feature for educational material. This is a minimal sample: \mainlanguage[en] \setuplanguage[en][patterns={en,agr}] \setuppapersize[A5] \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[DejaVu Serif] \definenote[dict] \setupnote[dict][n=2,rule=off, split=strict, inbetween=\hskip1.5em] \setupnotation[dict][number=no] \starttext Πρῶτον δεῖ θέσθαι τί ὄνομα\dict{ὄνομα, -ατος, τό: noun} καὶ τί ῥῆμα\dict{ῥῆμα, -ατος, τό: verb}, ἔπειτα τί ἐστιν ἀπόφασις\dict{ἀπόφασις, -εως, ἡ: negation} καὶ κατάφασις\dict{κατάφασις, εως, ἡ: affirmation} καὶ ἀπόφανσις\dict{ἀπόφανσις, -εως, ἡ: statement} καὶ λόγος. \stoptext Having these notes alphabetically ordered would be extremely useful for language teaching- Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Now Palatino font doesn't need to be patched on client side which simplifies the font setup significantly. I've updated that Wiki page accordingly. Feel free to correct me. Jan

ConTeXt hyphenation patterns for Indic languages
by Rajeesh K Nambiar 19 Dec '13

19 Dec '13

Hello, I have tried to generate the hyphenation patterns for Malayalam language from the TeX hyphenation patterns, but the unicode characters were skipped. On TeXLive 2013, ConTeXt version 2013.04.20, this is what was tried: 1. Uncommented line for "ml" in mtx-patterns.lua 2. Ran "mtxrun --script patterns --convert --path=/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/generic/hyph-utf8/patterns/txt/ --destination=/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/context/patterns/" 3. Output shows all patterns are removed with similar messages to: "mtx-patterns | removing line with suspected utf character അ (0x0D05), category lo: 1അ1" What is the proper way to add hyphenation patterns for a new language? In addition, how to add a 'new language' to the ConTeXt base (such that \language[ml] can be used? I see "base/lang-ind.mkii" where I could add "\setupheadtext" etc for the language, what is the equivalent for mkiv? Thanks for any answers or pointers. -- Regards, Rajeesh

luatex lunatic
by DesdeChaves 19 Dec '13

19 Dec '13

Dear sirs I would like to try luatex lunatic ( http://wiki.contextgarden.net/User:Luigi.scarso/luatex_lunatic) but i d'ont find the luatex-0.42. I'm looking in https://foundry.supelec.fr/frs/?group_id=10&release_id=406#luatex-beta-0.76… I've been looking for a way to simulate data with different distributions (normal, poisson, exponential, etc.) in the .tex file. The use of GSL library is a good option, but it seems impossible to import in luatex. Another way is using the R-statistical through filter module***, which seems to work well in luatex. At this time I would try to import the GSL functions through python script. For that i think that i need the older luatex 0.42 but I don't find that. *** \defineexternalfilter [R] [ filtercommand={R CMD BATCH -q --save --restore \externalfilterinputfile\space \externalfilteroutputfile}, output=\externalfilterbasefile.out, directory=output, readcommand=\typefile, read=no, cache=yes, ] Jorge

Re: [NTG-context] Dissertation/diploma style
by Vyatcheslav Y. 18 Dec '13

> Is there any dissertation/high-school diploma style for Context? I'm sure if there any, I can adapt it to Ukrainian standards (dstu 3008-95). >>Unless you can find a module (at http://modules.contextgarden.net/) then you'll have to design it yourself. The closest thing I found is http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Law_Faculty_University_of_Ljubljana_Styling_a… but it's a bit outdated and far from complete. Maybe someone did his/her thesis in ConTeXt?

Table in header, or multicolumn header
by Marco Pallante 16 Dec '13

16 Dec '13

Hello everyone, I'm starting to write some technical documents for a customer. I used MS Word in the past because that's what they use, then switched to OO Writer for the last job, but I'm not very comfortable with neither of them, so I decided to switch to ConTeXt. However, I'm facing with a problem. Page headings must contain a three columns table, with a logo in the left cell, a title in the middle one and finally some rows with a document reference number, the issue, the issue date and "page/pages" numbers. I'm not sure if I should use the \startcolumns environment (but it doesn't seems to work in headers or footers) or one of the various table environments. Could you give me some advice? I attached a screenshot of what the header looks like in Writer. Thank you, Marco Pallante

gsl in luatex

Dear Sirs Is there a way to call external lua modules inside luatex. In particular I would like to call gsl libray using a gsl-lua binding ( http://www.stefanom.org/devel/gsl-lua)/. I'm not talking about gsl-shell that needs luajit. I'm working in MacOSX with minimals.
