Hi all, I just posted this (the result of a rainy morning in Dordrecht, NL) to comp.text.tex. Someone here might be interested as well. Best, Taco ------------- Mads Munch Hansen wrote:

Is there a way to have LaTeX print the current week number, like the \date command?
I was feeling a bit bored today, so I came up with this. It is a plain e-TeX input file instead of a LaTeX package, but it should run without problems. Watch out: Dec 29 can be week 1 of the next year; and Jan 3 can be week 53 of the previous year.

Hello, i just playing a little bit with macros. For adding points to a total sum i use this macros \global\newcount\summeP \summeP=0 % ad the points of each question \def\getPunkte[#1]{\global\advance\summeP by \number#1} % show the points on the right side \def\showP[#1]{\inright{\hskip 10mm \framed{#1} }} % handle the points \def\pkt[#1]% {\showP[#1]% \getPunkte[#1] } this is working well but my problem is I want to use \summeP on the first page to show the total amount of points for the whole exam. I know that this needs a second run of texexec, but I don't know how to store the value at the end of the file and reread this stored value in a second run the get the right value. Any hints are welcome! Thanks and a Happy New Year! Thomas

Hmm... I would have guessed that you will keep on getting infinite runs, but apparently texexec decides that two are enough. I need to look deeper to see if this is the intended behaviour. I would call it a bug, since there can be cases which need more than two runs to converge. Aditya

how about
\savecurrentvalue\SomeVar{someval}
I was just copying the way it is done with other macros \lastpage, etc. I will look at \savecurrentvalue also. However, something seems to be wrong in tex.rb Change def processfile .... while ! stoprunning && (texruns < nofruns) && ok do .... end ... end to def processfile .... while ! stoprunning && (texruns < nofruns) && ok do .... report("stoprunning #{stoprunning}") report("texruns=#{texruns}, nofruns=#{nofruns}") report("ok=#{ok}") report("while=#{! stoprunning && (texruns < nofruns) && ok}") end ... end so that we can see what takes us out of the while loop. Take Petar's test file and run it through texexec. I get TeXExec | stoprunning true TeXExec | texruns=2, nofruns=8 TeXExec | ok=counter.tex TeXExec | while=counter.tex Notice that ok=\jobname. Shouldn't ok be a boolean. And the condition for while is a string rather than a boolean. I am not too sure on what ruby does for non boolean conditionals, but the present implementation can break (under some crazy conditions, maybe). How about if in def runtexutil(...) there is a return ok in the end, for example begin logger = Logger.new('TeXUtil') if tu = TeXUtil::Converter.new(logger) and tu.loaded(fname) then ok = tu.processed && tu.saved && tu.finalized end rescue Kpse.runscript('texutil',fname,options) else return ok #<--------- added. end Back to Peter's question, I gave a wrong explaination earlier. texexec just checks if the tui file has changed. If the file did not change from the last run, then it stops processing. So with \savetwopassdata{test}{1}{2} you will get two runs the first time you process the file, and a single run if you reprocess the file. By default, the maximum number of runs that you can have is 8, but you can change this by passing --runs= to texexec Aditya

The layer kopf is being set before the tui file is read. So, the value of \nofPoints is still 0. You need to set this layer after the utility file is read by appending the code to \everyafterutilityread or to \everystarttext (which happens after reading utility file). Aditya

No, runs=11 is not read.

yes ; btw, when you run context mkiv, all that data is no longer in the tuo file but in a lua table structure, and it's all loaded at the same time; this drastically speeds up some of the tuo related stuff Hans -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
