Among these articles are ones that describe tools and techniques that can be used in teaching. The PracTeX Journal 2010-1 issue has the theme "LaTeX Academic Work Bench". The goal of this issue is to present ideas on the use of LaTeX tools for education, teaching, and classroom purposes. We are looking for articles that can discuss the development of the tools, and their use and effectiveness. Actual examples and LaTeX sources are encouraged. ** Scope The scope of the issue includes, but is not limited to : - tools that assist the students/authors in preparing graphics, indexes, bibliographies, and other parts of documents; - text manipulation tools; - tutorials; - short videos; - free or almost free tools; - teaching texts; - homework styles; - cross-platform tools. We encourage you to submit original papers describing your experiences using LaTeX and TeX tools in an academic setting, and also papers on tool development work in progress or completed. ** Submission Guidelines: If you would like to submit an article or technical note for publication please contact the editors pracjourn@tug.org. We will work with you to prepare the article. Also see http://tug.org/pracjourn/submit.html for the Journal's guidelines. ** Important Dates: Paper submission deadline: December 31, 2009 Publication date: February 10, 2010 ** News Submissions in any language are acceptable.

Do you propose to flood the issue with articles on ConTeXt? :-) Best Martin

There is a problem with the module pracjourn; compiles fine under mkii, fails under mkiv. Minimal example: \usemodule[pracjourn] \setvariables [pracjourn] [ title=My \PRACTEX\ article, author=Your Name, address={Your Address\\ Can be multiline}, revision={d=1,m=11,y=2006}, % The editors ask you to update % this for each revision submitted copyright= , % May be used if you want a % copyright notice at the bottom right of the first page ] \useURL [email] [mailto:your-email-address] [] [your-email-address] \useURL [website] [your website] % address, revision, copyright, email and website are optional and can be omitted. \startbuffer[abstract] Your Abstract \stopbuffer \starttext \setups{title} % Article Text \stoptext

Email and Website do not work. But other than that, the document compiles fine. I will update the module so that email and website work with mkiv. Aditya

Attached is a corrected version. Hans, can something like \doifdefinedurl be added to the core? I am currently using %D We need a macro to check if a url is defined using \type{\useURL} or not. \def\doifdefinedurl#1{\doifdefined{\v!file:::#1}} %D \MKIV\ uses a different internal structure to store urls, so we use a %D different method. \startmode[*mkiv] \startluacode ptj = ptj or {} function ptj.doifdefinedurl(name, action) if jobreferences.urls.data[name] and name ~= "" then tex.sprint(tex.ctxcatcodes, action) end end \stopluacode \def\doifdefinedurl#1#2{\ctxlua{ptj.doifdefinedurl("#1", \!!bs\detokenize{#2}\!!es)}} \stopmode Bookmarks are not working, but that seems to be a bug in current MKIV. Minimal example \setupinteraction[state=start] \placebookmarks[section,subsection][section] \starttext \section{One} \input tufte \subsection{two} \input knuth \stoptext In MkIV I do not get any bookmarks.

that was due to a flushung order issue (introduced recently when switching to the lua catalog counterpart) to make you feel-good i added a few more trackers: \setupinteraction[state=start] \enabletrackers[references.bookmarks,backend.resources] \placebookmarks[section,subsection][section] \starttext \section{One} \subsection{alpha} \subsection{beta} \section{Two} \subsection{alpha} \subsection{beta} \stoptext fixed in beta ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

i'll add: \def\doifurldefinedelse {\ctxlua{commands.doifurldefinedelse ("#1")}} \def\doiffiledefinedelse{\ctxlua{commands.doiffiledefinedelse("#1")}} fyi ... you can use constructs like: function commands.doifurldefinedelse(name) commands.doifelse(jobreferences.urls.data[name]) end ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Can you also add corresponding commands in MkII. The practex module needs to work with both MkII and MkIV.
fyi ... you can use constructs like:
function commands.doifurldefinedelse(name) commands.doifelse(jobreferences.urls.data[name]) end
Ah, thanks. Aditya

You know the difference between startsetups, startrawsetups and startlocalsetups? Wolfgang

I wrote this module in 2006 and most of the setup stuff was trial and error. IIRC, file reading and wrting did not work with setup and that is why I used rawsetup. I really do not know the difference between localsetup and setup. Aditya

Right, while startsetups line endings are ignored startrawsetups keeps them as they are
I really do not know the difference between localsetup and setup.
startsetups is a delimited command which grabs everything till the next stopsetups commands and as a result of this nested startsetups environments are not possible, to do this you could use startlocalsetups inside startsetups Wolfgang
Hi all, how can I prevent the indent after a \startline[…]-construct. Here is an example: \setupindenting[medium,next,yes] \def\NoIndent{\noindentation{\red\bf Indent?}\enspace} \startbuffer \dorecurse{3}{\dorecurse{10}{some text, } \par } \stopbuffer \starttext \showframe \getbuffer \blank \startlinenumbering \startline[lin:1] \NoIndent \getbuffer \stopline[lin:1] \NoIndent \getbuffer \stoplinenumbering \blank \getbuffer \stoptext To make myself clear, I want indenting but not inside the linenumbering-environment. I tried already to play with \setuplinenumbering but there is no ‘before’-key in the setup and ‘command’ only applies to the numbers. I appreciate any help Andreas

Define your own environment. \definestartstop [Linenumbering] [before={\setupindenting[no]\startlinenumbering}, after=\stoplinenumbering] \starttext ... \startLinenumbering ... \stopLinenumbering ... \stoptext Wolfgang

Thank you! It works if I put \setupindenting[no] after \startlinenumbering. Andreas
