Some problems with framing typed text.
In the document I'm working on, I'd like to put some typed code bits in frames, to get an appearance sort of like the code excerpts on the ConTeXtWiki. However, I've found myself needing to do a couple of rather ugly hacks to get that to work right, and I'm hoping for some suggestions on how to avoid that. Here's what I have so far: \def\typebufferframed[#1]{% \vskip\parskip \framed[background=color, backgroundcolor=gray, frame=on, strut=yes, offset=2mm, width=broad, framecolor=black, align=right]% {\vskip -11mm\typebuffer[#1]\vskip -5mm}} \starttext Plain text before the code. \startbuffer[ex1] This is an example. \stopbuffer \typebufferframed[ex1] Plain text after the code. \stoptext The hacks that I'd like to get rid of: It would be nice not to have to put the code in a buffer before typing it, since in general I only use these once. However, if I put \starttyping and \stoptyping inside a framed command (even if I don't encapsulate it in another function) it breaks, and putting \startframedtext in the before= command and \stopframedtext in the after= command of \setuptyping also doesn't work. The spacing, when I do things the way that I'm doing them, is all wrong. The \vskip\parskip at the top is reasonably ok (although a bit annoying), but I'd really like to figure out how to get rid of the large negative \vskip's inside the frame. Thanks! - Brooks

Did you try something like: \setupbackground[background=screen, frame=on, color=blue] \setuptyping[before=\startbackground, after=\stopbackground] \starttyping bla bla \stoptyping Grüßlis vom Hraban! --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/

I hadn't, but I have now. (I assume the color=blue was meant to be framecolor=blue?) That does seem to work well and avoid most of the problems; thanks! It still doesn't give me a \parskip before the typed text, though -- try putting a \setupspacing[big] with the above code to see what I mean. (That's an easy fix, though; a \vskip\parskip in the before= command fixes it.) That seems like a bug somewhere, though -- if I comment out the \setuptyping command, the spacing is fine. - Brooks

The startbackground is not the most robust one (otr based); the \definetextbackgound one is better. The framed solution (earlier post) is probably what you're looking for.

Vit and Floris, if your TeX source is one file only, please do me a favour: try the TeX files on live.contextgarden.net and see if the output comes out right. If it doesn't, I'd like to know about it. If it does, please report on the list. Do you have write18 (texmf.cnf) enabled? How does your cont-sys.tex look like? What distribution do you use? I have (on live..) disabled write18, \runMPgraphicstrue and \runMPTEXgraphicstrue.

yes this works great. every change i make is directly visible after a
single texexec hit.
PG> Do you have write18 (texmf.cnf) enabled? How does your

i use the LiveTeX PC version.

where do i do this?
in C:\texLive\texmf\tex\context\user\cont-sys.rme ?
and what do i type there?
Also i noticed a strange thing happening in the following file.
What i expect is a single line with a dotted label on each point of
the line. i see two lines, a single row of dots and two rows of
labels, one small one large...
You can tell that i'm not very good in telling the right thing to the
compiler :-)
but what should i tell?

That might be the case. But a year ago things should have worked the same way.

There is no way to update this automaticalliy. But take a look at the wiki and http://levana.de/context/ (still need to put this into the wiki). Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki: http://contextgarden.net texshow-web: http://texshow.contextgarden.net List archive: http://archive.contextgarden.net

Any windows / texlive users should be able to tell you more. But unzipping it on top of the texlive was not the very best idea I'd guess. The directory structure has changed a bit with respect to the location of scripts and metapost files, so your old texlive metafun macros will be used.

Win / TeX Live call Perl scripts via .exe files of the same name. But I do not know connection between them (e.g. if it follows kpsewhich for finding new .pl in texmf-local). Somebody should know more, somebody had to prepare .exe files. Vit Zyka P.S. I suppose you can call new one via perl %TEXEXECPATH%\texexec.pl %*

But for an end-user (i try to keep myself on that level) it is *not* very convenient left with this situation (not knowing it exists in the first place) I guess i have to uninstall the present pftex and start from scratch. Which one is the best option to get Context,metafun,xml working? And i would like to have a similar working set on my OSX laptop too. Where are the experts ? :-) Also, i find the live context garden very helpful, as you can check a script independent form your own location. Hints for improvement: 1. provide an e-mail response for hints/remarks/questions. 2. the 'reset form' switch doesn't work. 3. some kind of summary (e.g. the real errors) of the log file would be very helpful. at present you have to parse the output yourself and have to locate the error yourself (e.g. too much is just info) thanks! % floris
Hi Floris,
that is explaining the situation. But for an end-user (i try to keep myself on that level) it is *not* very convenient left with this situation (not knowing it exists in the first place)
Not all hope is lost. IIRC there were two important differences from your texlive upto now: 1) paths of scripts have changed (now in texmf/scripts/context/perl/ I don't remember were they were ... wait.... texmf/context/perltk) 2) metafun macros are now in metapost/context/base (hmm, it looks as if this is now since a long time ... OK found it: this was in metapost/context in version 2003.1.28 and in .../base in version 2003.1.30 - long time before current texlive came out. You use the current texlive (almost a year old now))? So you are probably only affected by 1). Any window user should tell you how to use the texexec.pl from the scripts path and use this in favour of the default one.
I guess i have to uninstall the present pftex and start from scratch.
Oh no, don't do this. It looks fine. An uptodate texexec is not extremely important.
Which one is the best option to get Context,metafun,xml working? And i would like to have a similar working set on my OSX laptop too. Where are the experts ? :-)
You use texlive on your OS X laptop? That is what I have, too. I have not taken the default ConTeXt, but downloaded a current one from Pragma ADE page and installed it in a spearate directory and did a few things that are mentioned on my old ConTeXt page (http://levana.de/context).
Hints for improvement:

Hello Hans and Floris,
This is indeed strange. Any metapost experts?
how did the graphic definition look? Hans
Well, a look at the source while being awake (although this is hardly possible without coffee yet) made it clear, that there is a simple drawoptions() missing to erase the former drawoptions() statement. So Floris, use: [...] %%%%% enable/disable this section %%%%%%%%%% picture pic ; pic := currentpicture ; currentpicture := nullpicture ; drawoptions(); draw pic scaled 1.0 ; %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [...] Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki: http://contextgarden.net texshow-web: http://texshow.contextgarden.net List archive: http://archive.contextgarden.net

running it twice is something i can live with, but if it will not solve the problem, then it is... what do i do wrong?
Vit and Floris,
if your TeX source is one file only, please do me a favour: try the TeX files on live.contextgarden.net and see if the output comes out right. If it doesn't, I'd like to know about it. If it does, please report on the list. Do you have write18 (texmf.cnf) enabled? How does your cont-sys.tex look like? What distribution do you use?
I have (on live..) disabled write18, \runMPgraphicstrue and \runMPTEXgraphicstrue.
Thank you, Patrick, I will monitor the case and I will let you know if it occures again. I am using two distributions (the case was observed on both): 1) TeX Live 2002/Linux; write18 enabled 2) TeX Live 2003/Win 2K, updated ConTeXt on Win 2000; write18 disabled for a long time, but it was enabled a month ago cont-sys.tex (without comments): \usetypescript [berry] [\defaultencoding] \runMPgraphicstrue \runMPTEXgraphicstrue \useMETAFUNformattrue \newprettytrue \protectbufferstrue Vit
Hi Vit,
cont-sys.tex (without comments): \usetypescript [berry] [\defaultencoding] \runMPgraphicstrue \runMPTEXgraphicstrue \useMETAFUNformattrue \newprettytrue \protectbufferstrue
That looks fine to me. Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki: http://contextgarden.net texshow-web: http://texshow.contextgarden.net List archive: http://archive.contextgarden.net

Once, I had a similar problem: modifications in the embedded MetaFun code did not show up in the pdf or ps file, even after 4 or 5 texexec runs. The solution was, to delete all temporary files (*.mp *.tuo *.tui etc). Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/ _____________________________________ FilmSearch engine: http://f-s.sf.net/

In the document I'm working on, I'd like to put some typed code bits in frames, to get an appearance sort of like the code excerpts on the ConTeXtWiki. However, I've found myself needing to do a couple of rather ugly hacks to get that to work right, and I'm hoping for some suggestions on how to avoid that.
Did you try something like:
\setupbackground[background=screen, frame=on, color=blue] \setuptyping[before=\startbackground, after=\stopbackground]
\starttyping bla bla \stoptyping
or: \starttext \defineframedtext [myframed] [background=color, backgroundcolor=gray, frame=on, strut=yes, offset=2mm, width=broad, framecolor=black, align=right] \definetyping[mytyping] \setuptyping [before=\startmyframed, after=\stopmyframed] \startmytyping This is an example. \stopmytyping \stoptext ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

\startmytyping This is an example. \stopmytyping

That works perfectly; thanks! (I'm a bit confused, though; I tried something nearly like this as my first attempt, and it gave me very confusing errors that led me to believe that using \startframedtext in a before= command wouldn't work. Strange; I don't remember what I did then, and it works now.) - Brooks
