Re: [NTG-context] t-bib: URL and '%'; spacing between number and text
Tobias Burnus wrote: OK. That works for my minimal example, though I have to postprocess the *.bbl file as BibTeX converts longline into long% line An afwul tool, that bibtex is. Imagine what having a long url in your .bib file does ... tinyurl is almost a requirement. However, it fails with my big file (see attachment for a reduced example). If I simply include the file without using \environment etc., it works. Any idea? This is because of the special processing that has to take place within projects. The only solution for that (right now) is to patch the definition of \dousepublications inside the bib module itself. I'll try to work out something that does not need to grab all of its argument, so that this hack can be removed again. I have another tricky question related to t-bib: I want to use in the text references of the type [1-2], [3] and at the end of each chapter I do a \placepublication[criterium=chapter], however, at the very end I want to have a full authorlist ordered by authoryears (with the page numbers). Well, I failed to switch to authornames -- I always get a numbered list at the end. Completely switching styles with some command like \setuppublications[alternative=apa] just before the final \completepublications should have succeeded in creating a non-numbered list, but here again there could be a conflict with the project/product structure.

Re: [NTG-context] Font question
Dnia Wed, Mar 05, 2008 at 10:17:33AM +0100, Taco Hoekwater napisa#322;(a):
Thanks for the answers; still, some things are not clear for me.
2. What does exactly sa mean? Do I get it right when I think that it's
the factor by which the body font size - i.e., some constant dimen
parameter defined for the whole document (or environment) - is
multiplied? Does the laziness of sa mean that the actual scaling will
happen _after_ the definition of the body font size, which might be e.g.
different for different components of a product within a project using a
common environment? And what is mo?
sa stands for scaled at, mo stands for mapped on.
One of them (I think sa) is a multiple of the value you specify at
\setupbodyfont[..] or \switchtobodyfont[..],
the other is (I think) in relation to the actual current font size
(so it is different whether \tfx or \tfa is in effect).
Still don't get it. I tried the following example, just to see what
happens (sorry, I know it looks terrible):
\definefont [TitleFont] [Serif sa b]
\definefont [TitleFontTwo] [Serif mo b]
\starttext
Hello World!\par
{\TitleFont Hello world!\par}
{\TitleFontTwo Hello world!\par}
And with viii:
{\viii
Hello World!\par
{\TitleFont Hello world!\par}
{\TitleFontTwo Hello world!\par}}
And with switchtobodyfont:
{\switchtobodyfont[8pt]
Hello World!\par
{\TitleFont Hello world!\par}
{\TitleFontTwo Hello world!\par}}
\stoptext
No difference between sa and mo using this example...
(Right after looking at the results, I \show-ed \viii and noticed that
\viii and \switchtobodyfont[8pt] do essentially the same. What's the
use of having them both?)
4. What are the relations between \definefontsynonym, \definefont and
\definebodyfont?
things defined with \definefontsynonym can be used in the right hand
side of assignments in arg #3 of \definebodyfont, and in the #2
argument of \definefont.
So to be sure: I can use names defined by \definefontsynonym in place of
font filenames?
\definefont has no real relation to font switching, it is just a
low-level shortcut for a specific font, much like a bare \font
command in plain TeX, except that it allows synonyms and sa/mo.
So it just _defines_ (what a surprise!) some command to be a
font-switching macro?
\definebodyfont is used to build up font collections
Still, I have no idea about the relation between these three...
Here's what I seem to understand now:
\definebodyfont is a mystery to me;
\definefontsynonym defines #1 to mean the same as #2, where #2 may be
another synonym or a filename (and then you have - or may? - provide
encoding informaction in #3). It doesn't support sa or mo, and that's
ok, because its use is just fiddling with _names_;
\definefont is similar to \definefontsynonym except that it allows
scaling and does not allow filenames (only synonyms).
How much of that is right?
5. I can understand neither the paragraph right before the
\definebodyfont example on page 4 of mfonts.pdf, nor the example itself.
That paragraph is a bit confusing to me as well. Browsing through
type-siz.tex may help (in tex/context/base).
I'll try that too soon...
Best wishes,
Taco

Re: [NTG-context] Font question
OK, so the first part of my questions about mfonts.pdf;) Thank you in advance for the answers; I'd like to stress that I'm not in a hurry, so please take your time! Also, as I said, I have nothing against being redirected to some other part of documentation in case it is easier than to write a full answer here. 1. Do I get it right when I think that \definefontsynonym takes 2 or 3 arguments, and: When given two, they mean: (1) the synonym being defined and (2) an earlier defined synonym being a replacement text for (1); When given three, (1) is as above, (2) is the filename of the font (tfm I guess?) and (3) contains some low-level options like the encoding (are there any other options available?) 2. What does exactly sa mean? Do I get it right when I think that it's the factor by which the body font size - i.e., some constant dimen parameter defined for the whole document (or environment) - is multiplied? Does the laziness of sa mean that the actual scaling will happen _after_ the definition of the body font size, which might be e.g. different for different components of a product within a project using a common environment?

Hi Steffen,
Can you post a example where this did happen for you.
Hi Hans and all others,
I found the reason for the wrong index sorting in Steffens files.
The correct sorted file contains something like this.
\enableregime[utf]
\starttext
text\index{Bestimmung} text\index{Bühler} text\index{Bildung} text
\placeindex
\stoptext
The text is enclosed by the normal start/stoptext pair and the document
setup is written before the start of the document while the wrong file
contains this:
\starttext
\enableregime[utf]
text\index{Bestimmung} text\index{Bühler} text\index{Bildung} text
\placeindex
\stoptext
The files did not really contain start/stop but use ConTeXts document
structure and \everystarttext is executed by \startpoduct, the first
command in the product file.
The problem is now, ConTeXt write information for the index sorting
into the tui file and a few additional entries for every spcifiec file
encoding, in this utf-8.
This works quite well in the first example because \enableregime is
writte before \starttext while in the second example the sorting
information are written before ConTeXt knows the file encoding.
A workaround for the moment is to write \enableregime before
\startproduct in the main file but I hope this coule be fiyed in the
next release.
I still wonder why nobody noticed this untill now.

[NTG-context] project structure and dissertations
I'm unsure about an aspect of The ConTeXt Way and its application to my
current situation: typesetting a dissertation, namely: how can I take
advantage of project sttructure?
It seems natural to regard the dissertation as a project and the
chapters as products (which sounds strange to my mind, in this case).
But then I have no idea what would correspond to components; it seems
like excessive, unnecessary structuring to regard sections of chapters
as components. And if sections aren't components, I don't know what
they would be.
Earlier messages on this mailing list suggest that projects aren't
supposed to be compiled; only components and products are supposed to be
compiled. This suggests that the whole dissertation not be a project;
clearly I would want to compile the whole dissertation.
Another approach would be to skip projects and stick with just products
and components. In this case, the whole dissertation would be a product
(which sounds right to me), and chapters would be components.
But then, if I follow that route, how would the logical structure
interact with the typographical structure (what is called
meta-structure in the ConTeXt manual)? I want to say something like
\startfrontmatter
\chapter{Preface}
\stopfrontmatter
\startbodymatter
\chapter{Introduction}
\stopbodymatter
\startappendices
\chapter{Complex Proof that was Skipped}
\stopappendices
\startbackmatter
\chapter{Colofon}
\stopbackmatter
in dissertation.tex, to indicate the typographical/meta structure. But then
where would the \component commands go? Would it look something like
this:
\startproductproduct dissertation
\startfrontmatter
\chapter{Preface}
\component{Preface}
\stopbodymatter
...
or would I somehow be able to refer to the whole text of the
preface and do something like
\startproduct dissertation
\component preface
\chapter{Preface}
\getbuffer{buf:preface}
\startfrontmatter
...
with the whole text of the preface in a buffer?
I would appreciate any advice!
Thanks,
Jesse

Re: [NTG-context] project structure and dissertations
On Thu, 1 Nov 2007, Jesse Alama wrote: It seems natural to regard the dissertation as a project and the chapters as products (which sounds strange to my mind, in this case).

And if you put your chapters into components, then you can compile each chapter individually.

In my further exploration I came across another product, toally unrelated, dealing with spreadsheets. with the name of luatex. Yes, this was mentioned at the ConTeXt meeting last spring. It's a bit frustrating, sure, but ... Interestingly enough, this other luatex is to be parsed Lua / t / eX because the last two letters stand for Excel. And the normative spelling is LuateX with an uppercase X :-) Is the name luatex a trademark? Not that I know of. I don't think there would be any benefit to it, though. Recall that the name TEX itself---all uppercase---was a trademark since a couple of years by the time TeX was created. Who remembers this typesetting system by the Honeywell company today?

I had the same question and came to the following solution.

Here, env_book.tex is the product-specific environment file, which is called at the beginning of the product file book.tex. If only a component is being run, the \startnotmode[*product] will ensure that env_book is read in anyway.

Thanks for the reply. As far as I know, we don't explicitly import

bookenv-clean1-colors.tex:\usemodule[colors]
As you can see, we do use the module math-ext
Firstly, you do not use to explicitly use math-ext. AFAIU, it is
included automatically. Secondly, something in your setup is including
newmat, because \dogenfrac is defined in newmat. Look into the log
file or the tui file for newmat. If newmat is not being loaded, then
something strange is happening.

[NTG-context] Powerit Holdings, Inc., The Leader in Energy-Demand Management Systems, Completes Series A Financing Round - Joe Merlo
Joe Merlo Powerit Holdings, Inc. the leading provider of intelligent, automated demand control demand response systems for industrial and commercial buildings, today announced the successful completion of the company's Series A round of venture financing. Led by @Ventures with a $3.0 million investment, the $7.1 million round also included co-investor Expansion Capital Partners with $3.0 million and the balance from existing investors including Stellar Holdings and Company management. This funding from @Ventures and Expansion Capital Partners, two recognized leaders in clean technology venture capital, will allow us to accelerate our growth and product offerings to meet the demands of a growing number of industrial and utility customers who need proven demand response and demand control energy management solutions to better control rising energy costs, said Claes Olsson, CEO of Powerit Holdings. Powerit Solutions is especially well-poised to support the growth of demand response services to the electric utility industry. Their primary product solution, the Energy Director, is based on the principal that the best, cleanest and most cost-efficient way to obtain needed power during times of peak usage is to leverage the hidden inefficiencies that cause high peak demand. The Energy Director system automatically predicts, regulates, and reduces demand by carefully lowering the consumption from selected loads with precisely-timed curtailment actions and manages these actions in a way that it limits any impact to productivity or building comfort. As such, it is a system that is distinctively tailored to enable industrial commercial users to meet challenging power savings goals and has been approved for demand response (DR) incentive programs by public utilities which have strong interest in finding reliable cost-saving and demand-savvy solutions for those challenging sectors. According to Olsson, sixty percent of all energy in the domestic U.S. market is consumed by commercial and industrial buildings. Powerit systems reduce demand charges on an ongoing basis between 10- and 40-percent and can allow those previously savings-challenged industrial manufacturing companies to participate in demand response programs, he said. Do the math. The financial benefits, measured by dramatically reduced demand charges and the opportunity to participate in DR programs, are substantial, often creating a project payback in the range of 1 to 18 months, - not to mention the benefits to local energy utilities struggling to keep power to their customers during peak usage periods. As part of the financing, Marc Poirier, Managing Director, @Ventures and Bernardo Llovera, General Partner, Expansion Capital Partners will take seats on Powerit's Board of Directors. Powerit's technologies are uniquely-suited to meet the demanding needs of large industrial electricity users, said Marc Poirier. By deploying fully-automated intelligent systems to help companies reduce their energy bills without hindering productivity, Powerit delivers strong economic value to its customers. And by helping utilities manage their peak-demand periods without increasing internal capacity, Powerit helps address the increasing demand for electricity while minimizing carbon emissions and other environmental impacts associated with power generation, added Poirier. The combination of Powerit's exceptional energy management and demand response solutions, and its proven leadership in high technology innovation, are strong indicators that the company will continue to excel, said Bernardo Llovera. We are impressed with Claes Olsson's track record of driving growth in companies like Powerit. Evolution Capital Advisors, a boutique investment bank serving entrepreneurial stage companies in energy, information, communications, and media technology markets, served as advisor to Powerit on the transaction. About Powerit Holdings, Inc. Powerit Holdings, Inc. (Powerit) is a global leader in intelligent, energy-demand management. Through its wholly owned companies, Powerit Solutions in the U.S. and Diana Control in Europe, Powerit helps organizations manage and reduce peak energy demand - saving money and conserving energy without compromising production and processing operations or building comfort factors.

It has been a while since I looked at the lilypond module. This is how
I understand what is happening. The pdfs are not generated again in
the second run. So, you get the old versions. Try deleting the
lilypond pdfs, change the order of components, and you should get
missing images.
And remember: It works with Perl texexec!
Maybe --ifchanged in not honored at all and lilypond is run every
time, irrespective of whether the snippet has changed or not.
BTW, how slow if lilypond, if you ask it just to create small music
snippets and not do the page layout etc. If it runs reasonably fast,
then there may be no need to do all this --ifchanged stuff. Just as
metapost graphics are included.

Hello All,
I am writing a project report for a PHP project I have completed and
I need to include the code I have written. I would like to have code
that is highlighted similar to the editor I use (it's Notepad2 but I'm
sure most of you know what I mean), has line numbers and is in a
monospaced font.
Now I know that ConTeXt itself doesn't have support for PHP
highlighting but I have found something in the third party modules
that is able to use ViM to do what I want. Unfortuantely, I can't get
it to work, hence why I am here!
I'm on Windows XP and I am using the standalone ConTeXt distribution
from the 22nd March 2007. When I came to install the module, I found
that it was already included in the distribution. I have installed the
distribution under C:\ConTeXt\ along with Perl (C:\perl\) and Ruby
(C:\ruby\). What is non-standard in my setup is my own custom built
batch file:
I'll put that in the directory of the .tex file I want to run it on.
In this case it is c_Implementation.tex. My implementation file
looks like this:
\startcomponent c_Implementation
\product ../prd_TennisClubBookingSystem
\project ../../prj_School
You do not need to mention ../ and ../../. ConTeXt automatically
searches for product and project files in one higher directory.

And when I run my batch file on it, TeXexec returns the error:
! Undefined control sequence.

Do you have \usemodule[vim] somewhere in the setup? Does the log file
say something like module:ViM Syntax Highliting
What does texmfstart --locate 't-vim.tex' give?
I think where I am falling down is that ViM doesn't seem integrated to
me. I have it placed under C:\Programs\ViM\ and I used the installer
which has all the different types GUI and command line version as
well. Do I need the set something up in the module to make it know
where ViM is or do I need to somehow directly use ViM itself?
You need vim.exe to be in your PATH.
Does texmfstart bin:vim start vim?

Re: [NTG-context] Microsoft Word - Context
existing environment/layout definitions, implementing that takes about 10 secs. For example about now I have to start writing a product manual where some parts of text come from an old Word file. I'll probably just cut and paste what I need from the pdf file, but it's still faster than fighting with Word over original the 9 MB (!) doc - and consistency can be guaranteed, unlike if I used Word, because the old file is done with Word95 and 97 and we now use Word 2003 where the list functions and styles work slightly differently and don't open quite as they used to be. These are very large files even optimized, but if you are very curious, you can compare the following public documents that are in my domain: Doc with Word original (attachments done in ConTeXt): http://www.kpatents.com/pdf/downloads/pr-01-s.pdf Doc that was converted from Word original to ConTeXt (this was my practice piece): http://www.kpatents.com/pdf/downloads/pr-03.pdf Similar doc with ConTeXt from the start: http://www.kpatents.com/pdf/downloads/pr-23.pdf I didn't originally make the first one (it predates my employment at the company), but I cleaned it up, and any changes are now made by me. When I started converting number 2 into ConTeXt, the instruction was that the manuals have to look alike. I did make some layout changes partly for legibility (wider margins) and some for practicality (couldn't get small caps out of my ConTeXt, so footer is normal text, not small caps), but they are still fairly alike. Oh and the first one has fixed graphic numbering (no captions), the others have the 'real thing'. And index only turned up with ConTeXt, because indexing is much easier/more transparent in it. NB. Cover pages are still all Word docs, I pdf them and insert into my ConTeXt file. One day I'll bother to learn enough that I can make the covers happen in ConTeXt, would make changing them a lot faster (usually the only change is in the version number). I don't know if this really helps, but at least that gives you some info on how others do things and what kind of experiences there are round this particular problem.

If your files contain graphics, for ConTeXt you have to ask people to send them in separately as pdf, png or jpg (instead of putting them inline in the Word file). I have found *this* hard to achieve once in a while and I still often spend substantial time chasing down originals of graphics I get in Word files. A good way is to save the docs as OpenOffice docs, unzip them and collect the images from their folder. But pictures in Word documents are crap anyway, most of the time. For my main project at work (a city magazine, typeset with InDesign) I got everything as Word Docs until some issues before. After struggling with useless text formatting (hyperlinks! blech!) we copypasted only plain text and did the formatting again manually. Now I wrote a editorial system as web application, where the authors have to fill fixed text boxes (title, intro, text, infos, author etc.). If everything's ready, I pull the whole stuff from the database and apply formatting (InDesign tagged text, but could be anything) to ease the layout work. Event timetable data works similar, but via XML. (Why? InDesign can place images with XML, but not with TaggedText, and we need some icons in the calendar. We could use XML for everything, but InDesign is much faster with TaggedText.) Of course that's no solution for most Word-to-ConTeXt cases, only as a side note... And BTW: I really like InDesign as a layout app, but it's text handling (regarding XML or TaggedText import) is horrible! (Crappy coded - doesn't understand different line endings or different text encodings, only incomplete UTF-16 without BOM and predeclared Win or Mac line endings... XML is always whitespace sensible...) Enough OT. [I've found that generally my fellow office workers don't want to deal with *anything* like this, but professional translators have no problems with ConTeXt code; and anybody with html-by-hand experience usually gets the drift very fast.] Unfortunately even my HTML coding colleagues fear the command line.

Re: [NTG-context] ctags and ConTeXt
Hi
Here is my first attempt (see attachment). It works correctly in the
little testing that I have done (on Windows). Just add
\usemodule[ctags] somewhere in your environment file, and run context.
I file called context.tags will be generated which contains the
labels, filename, and line-number where the label occurs (line number
can sometimes be off).
I modify a few core macros, so this can possibly break existing stuff
(It should not, but then ...)
I found no reliable way to know the current file name. So this works
correctly only if registerfileinfo is called. So one will have the
correct filename when using a project structure, but not when using
\input. I do not want to redefine \input, since almost everything
relies on \input working correctly.
I will also post the module on the garden once I am more comfortable
with it. This one is too dangerous to go to the core.

%D \section Introduction
%D
%D \CTAGS\ is a program that generates an index of language objects
%D found in a file that allows these objects to be easily located by a
%D text editor. They are tightly integrated with \VIM\ and \EMACS. For
%D large \TEX\ files, \CTAGS\ is very useful to find reference labels.
%D Suppose you are writing a long book or paper, and you want to add
%D reference to an equation. Also suppose all your equation labels start
%D with \type{eq:}. Then in \VIM\ you can type \type{eq:} and press
%D \type{^X^]} and \VIM\ will present you with a pop-up menu showing the
%D different labels that start with \type{eq:}. For long files this can
%D save you a lot of time.
%D
%D Traditionally tags are generated from an external program. However,
%D \CONTEXT's syntax is almost impossible to parse from an external
%D program. Consider the following two cases
%D \starttyping
%D \defineenumeration[problem]
%D \startproblem[tag]
%D blah blah
%D \stopproblem
%D \stoptyping
%D and
%D \starttyping
%D \defineitemgroup[problem]
%D \startproblem[intro]
%D \item blah blah
%D \stopproblem
%D \stoptyping
%D
%D For an external program to correctly parse this, it must be able to
%D understand \TEX. The only program that can understand \TEX\ is \TEX.
%D So, I decided to write \CTAGS\ support for \CONTEXT\ in \CONTEXT. It
%D turned out to be much simpler than expected. So now, one can read
%D \CTAGS\ as \CONTEXT\ tags \mono{:-)}.
%D
%D \section User Guide
%D
%D To use the module simply add
%D \starttyping
%D \usemodule[ctags]
%D \stoptyping
%D on the top of the file\footnote{This must be done before
%D \type{\everystarttext} is executed. That is either in the environment
%D file or before \type{\starttext} in a file.}. Unfortunately, right
%D now (that is with \PDFTEX), it is not possible to create a file
%D without extension. So, the tags are written to a file
%D \filename{context.tags}. To use this in \VIM, you have to add
%D \starttyping
%D set tags=./tags,tags,context.tags
%D \stoptyping
%D in your \filename{.vimrc} (\filename{_vimrc} on Windows). I do not
%D know how to do something similar in \EMACS. If someone knows, please
%D let me know.
%D
%D This file modifies a core \CONTEXT\ macro, so be careful while using

[NTG-context] Header problem in project
Hans et all,
We have a project call book.tex, a product in that called
chapter1.tex, and a component in that called section1exercises.tex.
We have blocks that we save and then place at the end of
section1exercises.tex with a macro defined in our environment file:
\def\placeanswers{%
\bgroup
\doifmodeelse{short}
{
\keepblocks[shortsubanswer,longsubanswer]
\answers{Answers}\vskip 1em\startcolumnset[answers]
\selectblocks[shortanswer][criterium=section]
\stopcolumnset
}
{
\def\headermarkleft{{\sc Chapter \headnumber[chapter]}}
\def\headermarkright{{\sc{}Section \headnumber[section]}}
\setupheadertexts[][\headermarkright][\headermarkleft][]
\keepblocks[shortsubanswer,longsubanswer]
\answers{Solutions}\vskip 1em
\selectblocks[longanswer][criterium=section]
}
\egroup
}
The else part of the do above is an attempt to define a different
header when we compile with --mode=long, but just for the pages on
which we use \placeanswers. The other pages have a different header
defined in the environment file. Those headers have page numbers as
well with:
\def\headermarkleft{\bold{\pagenumber}\headerskip{\sc\headerskip
Chapter \headnumber[chapter]\headerskip\getmarking[chapter][current]}}
\def\headermarkright{{\sc{}Section \headnumber[section]\headerskip
\getmarking[section][current]}\headerskip\bold{\pagenumber}}
The file section1exercises ends like this:
%%% ENDTESTBANK
%%%
\stopquestions
\placeanswers\kern0pt
\stopcomponent
When we compile section1exercises.tex with texmfstart texexec --
mode=long section1exercises, all is well until the last page, where
the former header is used instead of the header defined in the
\placeanswers macro. But we want to finish out the document from the
point we put the \placeanswers with the second header.
Any suggestions?

ConTeXt is a typographical engine written in the typographical computer language TeX. ConTeXt provides you with a convenient way to encode documents in a structured way and to typeset these documents in various ways on paper, computer screen or web site. . The main difference between ConTeXt and LaTeX lies in the fact that LaTeX was created with the idea of separating content and presentation to such an extent that the typical author would write their content and then use a style file created by someone else to provide the visual presentation. . ConTeXt, on the other hand, retained the idea of separating content and presentation, but was created with the idea of being used for books, where each book tends to have a different layout, and so the expected end user is the person doing all the layout. Thus, it's designed to provide a vast amount of flexibility for layout in a way that can be fairly easily defined without needing to write a package . This package also contains MetaFun. MetaFun (a superset of well known MetaPost) is a powerful system for vector graphics that is fully integrated into ConTeXt, but also usable as a stand alone product. . MetaFun is not for interactive drawing applications and not for free hand drawings. Its strength lies in the ability to enhance the document layout with highly accurate graphic elements.

On Fri, 22 Dec 2006, Sanjoy Mahajan wrote: Latexstualists may disagree but I think the essence is that Context gives more control and makes it easier to create new layouts. Also the ConTeXt parts are more integrated than the LaTeX packages are -- think of the discussions/comments about what order LaTeX packages must be loaded. For example, the hyperref manual says to load it last to give it a fighting chance of not being over-written, since its job is to redefine many LaTeX commands. And ConText is also an example of the free-software philosophy of release often, sometimes twice a day! Here is my attempt to integrate everything said here with the UK TeX FAQ entry and the wikipedia entry of ConTeXt, without pointing out all the bad things about LaTeX. Everything said and done, LaTeX is much better than Word Processors ;) ConTeXt is a document preparation system based on the TeX typesetting system. It was designed with the same general-purpose aims as LaTeX, but being younger reflects much more recent thinking about the structure of the markup, is more modular in its conception, and more monolithic in its building. ConTeXt gives more control to the end user and makes it easier to create new layout without learning TeX macro language. ConTeXt is consistent in its design, and does not suffer from the package clashes in LaTeX. ConTeXt also integrates MetaFun which is a superset of MetaPost and a powerful system for vector graphics. Metafun can be used as a stand alone product, but its strength lies in the ability to enhance the document layout with highly accurate graphic elements. ConTeXt allows the users to use markup in different languages. Markup in English, Dutch, German, French and Italian is supported at present. ConTeXt allows the user to use different engines (pdftex, XeTeX, aleph?, luatex?) without changing the user interface. ConText is developed at a fast pace and is also an example of the free-software philosophy of release often, sometimes twice a day!

6) Putting \placepublications in the component file.
7) Putting \completepublications in the appendix section.

\listentry{chapter}{1}{1}{Long\1 title}{2--0-1-0-0-0-0-0--1}{1}
and the \1 is not defined during \listentry, only during the \chapter.
I didn't have a problem when the same code was part of a product (each
component being chapter in a book, with the \setuphead in an environment
file) -- only had it when I compiled one component, which is how I got
to the test case above.

\definesymbol[PRODI] [\ProdintSymbol{84}]
\stopsymbolset
but texexec stops when mktexfm cannot find the file 'prodint' or it says the
TFM file is missing. Another problem with this approach is the fact that this
does not define a MATH symbol, which is really what I would want. Based on the
LaTeX style file prodint.sty, I'm guessing I'll at least need a command like:
\definemathsymbol [prodi] [op] [prodint] [xx]
but I can't figure out the usage of this command. I also suspect that I can not
used the prodint.tfm file, supplied with the LaTeX package, but need to run
Texfont to create one for ConTeXt. Can you confirm this?
I greatly appreciate any help!

this should be ok for todays situation
is better since it permits installation of fonts without the need for updmap

[NTG-context] how to define a new math symbol
Hi,
I would like to use of the product integral (a curly \prod-like symbol which is
to \prod what \int is to \sum) in Context. There is a LaTeX package (not
official) available from Richard Gill's website
(http://www.math.uu.nl/people/gill/, all the way at the bottom), which supplies
a .sty file with the following contents:
\ProvidesPackage{prodint}
\DeclareFontFamily{U}{ProdInt}{}
\DeclareFontShape{U}{ProdInt}{m}{n}{- prodint}{}
\DeclareSymbolFont{Prodint}{U}{ProdInt}{m}{n}
\DeclareMathSymbol{\prodi}{\mathop}{Prodint}{80}%80 prodinttext
\DeclareMathSymbol{\Prodi}{\mathop}{Prodint}{82}%82 prodintdisplay
\DeclareMathSymbol{\PRODI}{\mathop}{Prodint}{84}%84 prodintbig
\endinput
It also supplies a bunch of fontfiles, i.e. prodint.{afm,pfa,pfb,tfm}, and a
map file prodint.map. As you can see, the package supplies three commands:
\prodi, \Prodi and \PRODI, corresponding to three sizes.
My question(s): how can I define similar commands (I'm guessing
\definemathsymbol would be required) to use this symbol in Context? Is it
possible to use the fontfiles supplied in the LaTeX package or should Texfont
be used to enable the symbol in Context?
Thanks,
Maarten-Jan

I still can't figure this problem one out, from a few months ago, and it
happens with a recent ConTeXt (2006.08.08 21:51). The figure searching
code gets confused if a file of the same basename (but in a different
directory) has already been loaded. Here is a minimal min.tex to show
what I mean:
I remember I ran into that as well (more than a year ago) and I ended
up renaming my figures to figure1-1.pdf etc. It actually turned out
to be easier for me, because that way I could use the figure filename
as the reference.
While reading Taco's response something else came to my mind: here's
what I did in one of the presentations:
\startsetups award:gold
\useexternalfigure[medal][medal_gold][height=7.5cm]
\stopsetups
\startsetups award:silver
\useexternalfigure[medal][medal_silver][height=7.5cm]
\stopsetups
\startsetups award:bronze
\useexternalfigure[medal][medal_bronze][height=7.5cm]
\stopsetups
After that I just issued \setups{award:gold} at the top of product
file for gold medallists while using the same page layout for all the
medallists (with a simple \externalfigure[medal] which was good for
any medallist).
I guess that you could also do something like
\startsetups chapter:1
\useexternalfigure[fig-1][1/fig-1.pdf]
\useexternalfigure[fig-2][1/fig-2.pdf]
\stopsetups
\startsetups chapter:2
\useexternalfigure[fig-1][2/fig-1.pdf]
...
\stopsetups
\starttext
\setups{chapter:1}
\externalfigure[fig-1]
\externalfigure[fig-2]
\setups{chapter:2}
\externalfigure[fig-1]
\stoptext
Just out of curiosity I tried the following:
\startsetups chapter:1
\dorecurse{10}{\useexternalfigure[fig-\recurselevel][1/fig-\recurselevel.pdf]}
\stopsetups
\startsetups chapter:2
\dorecurse{10}{\useexternalfigure[fig-\recurselevel][2/fig-\recurselevel.pdf]}
\stopsetups
But you should ask someone else where to expand stuff to make it work.

This took a bit of digging, it appears to be a bug in core-job.tex.
The definition of \setvalue{\e!start\v!localenvironment} ends with:
{\grabuntil{\e!stop\v!localenvironment}\relax}}
but that should be:
{\grabuntil{\e!stop\v!localenvironment}\gobbleoneargument}}

Yes, it only guards against loading the environment file twice. The
name is irrelevant.

There are probably system modes predefined for the products
name etc. I'll leave the question to be answered by Hans.

This patch repairs it. Now \startlocalenvironment[syllabus-s] is
properly entered when the argument matches the product. One more bug
has been ironed out. But the fact that it took so long before it
surfaced is telling, obviously not many people have used this
mechanism since the manual came out!

\localenvironment is sort of an alias of \environment.

(== the argument) is unimportant.
Sorry, but I think I do not yet understand and I do not get it right.
Next is in a nutshell my setup of the environments, the relevant
projects are syllabus-s and syllabus-p

Running from product syllabus-s.tex I get this in the log:

systems : begin file syllabus-p-setup at line 10
(./syllabus-p-setup.tex

systems : end file syllabus-p-setup at line 10
And this shows that running the product syllabus-s still loads both
localenvironments and goes inside both \startlocalenvironments!
What I am doing wrong here?

Indeed, that is certainly more correct.
In general, you can not intermix optional arguments and active

token to break off the search in a reliable manner.
Simply adding a \relax statement sounds like the simplest solution.
Yes, I found that out already, even something like {} does the trick.
But stubborn as I sometimes may be, I first tried to find a solution
within the macro definition, that does not depend on the data processed.
Being not equal to [ it is given back but -- if I remember
well -- there can be a catcode problem. I guess still functions as
separator in the \halign template but no longer functions as a macro,
as it should in my code.
There might be no solution for this within TeX's limitations. But
maybe you can confirm cq. deny that from your knowledge of TeX (which
certainly is greater than mine).
There is a chance that there is a hackish way around this
limitiation for some very specific cases, but i cannot
tell without the actual code you use.
I will privately mail a copy of my file. It is fairly extensively

[NTG-context] Bad Split TABLEs
Hello,
LONG tables form a significant part of my thesis. I put the thesis together
entirely in XML and have a stylesheet matching that XML into ConTeXt.
While ConTeXt is doing a great job with the rest, split TABLEs are not
working - despite Hans' repeatedly answering my pleas with patches. I
concluded that I might have a problem of my XML-to-ConTeXt matching rather
than ConTeXt itself at hand and pulled a part of my thesis flanking and
including the most unwieldy multipage table into ConTeXt proper (see
attachment). The problems persist and I'd like to poll the accumulated
ConTeXtitians on hints towards a solution of them, specifically:
- split tables without body content
- textbody text and tables overflowing the pages.
- multiple splits per page
I'd be very happy about any hints on how to remedy this document-spoiler ...
Thanks, Joh

Remarkably, our comparative analysis of Gcn5p purifications yielded strong
candidates for six new Gcn5p interactors. YCR082W, a nonessential gene product
(Winzeler et al. 1999; Giavert et al. 2002) with unknown function, was found in
all five Gcn5p purifications but was not recovered with any of the other baits
that we analyzed. YCR082W exhibits a two--hybrid interaction with Ahc1p (Uetz
et al. 2000; Ito et al. 2001), which together with Gcn5p is a member of the ADA
histone acetyltransferase complex (Eberharter et al. 1999). Another candidate
is Msn4p, a nonessential (Estruch et al. 1993; Winzeler et al. 1999) major
transcriptional regulator of stress responses (Treger et al. 1998). Msn4p was
recovered in four of the five Gcn5p pull down experiments but was not recovered
with any of the other baits. This finding is interesting in the light of
evidence that promoters activated by Msn4p and its partner Msn2p show increased
histone H4 acetylation (Deckert et al. 2001). Other p
otential interaction partners include YPL047W (present in two of the HPM
purifications and the TAP purification), histones Hta1p/Hta2p and Imd4p (in
TAP, modified TAP and one HPM pulldown). Other gene products recovered in more
than two of the experiments are mostly ribosomal proteins that are likely
contaminants. Finally, the interaction observed between Gcn5p and Swi1p in the
TAP tag experiment was previously proposed only on the basis of their
synthetically lethal genetic interaction (Pollard et al 1997).\par
\subsection{Screening for Interactions}
Having established the relative reproducibility of TAP--MudPIT and the
comparability of the HPM tag to other available bipartite affinity tags, we set
out to address three issues. First, we wished to determine what fraction of
TAP--MudPIT experiments yield usable results. Second, we hoped to determine
whether the parallel application of MudPIT

Here's the test.tex file I used: \startcomponent blah \product null \project abcd \stopcomponent $ texexec -passon=-kpathsea-debug 32 --once test log $ grep abcd log | grep kpse_find kdebug:kpse_find_file: searching for ./abcd of type tex (from TEXINPUTS environment variable) kdebug:kpse_find_file: searching for ../abcd of type tex (from TEXINPUTS environment variable) kdebug:kpse_find_file: searching for ../../abcd of type tex (from TEXINPUTS environment variable) kdebug:kpse_find_file: searching for ../../../abcd of type tex (from TEXINPUTS environment variable) kdebug:kpse_find_file: searching for ./abcd of type tex (from TEXINPUTS environment variable) kdebug:kpse_find_file: searching for ../abcd of type tex (from TEXINPUTS environment variable) kdebug:kpse_find_file: searching for ../../abcd of type tex (from TEXINPUTS environment variable) kdebug:kpse_find_file: searching for ../../../abcd of type tex (from TEXINPUTS environment variable) kdebug:kpse_find_file: searching for abcd of type tex (from TEXINPUTS environment variable) The last search, for 'abcd', runs through the entire TEXINPUTS path. The other searches have directories specified, so they will look only in those directories. -Sanjoy `A society of sheep must in time beget a government of wolves.' - Bertrand de Jouvenal ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Re: [NTG-context] components and figure search paths
Hans and Sanjoy,
I am doing something similar, so I am following this discussion closely.
On my machine, the main directory is ~/Documents/IntAlgText/trunk.
The main directory contains my environment files and book.tex (the
project).
Then I have these directories.
~/Documents/IntAlgText/trunk/chapter0
~/Documents/IntAlgText/trunk/chapter1
...
~/Documents/IntAlgText/trunk/chapter8
Each of these directories contains a chapter and sections for that
chapter. So, for example, I have:
~/Documents/IntAlgText/trunk/chapter0/chapter0.tex
~/Documents/IntAlgText/trunk/chapter0/section1.tex
~/Documents/IntAlgText/trunk/chapter0/section2.tex
Each of these directories contains a figure directory. So, I have:
~/Documents/IntAlgText/trunk/chapter0/figures
~/Documents/IntAlgText/trunk/chapter1/figures
...
~/Documents/IntAlgText/trunk/chapter8/figures
Each of these figure directories contain all of the figures for the
chapter (the product). There are two files for each section of
chapter that generate the figures.
~/Documents/IntAlgText/trunk/chapter0/figures/section1figs.tex
~/Documents/IntAlgText/trunk/chapter0/figures/figlibSection1.xml
~/Documents/IntAlgText/trunk/chapter0/figures/section2figs.tex
~/Documents/IntAlgText/trunk/chapter0/figures/figlibSection2.xml
My project (book.tex) looks like this:
\startproject book
%\environment bookenv
\doifnotmode{clean1-screen}{\environment bookenv-clean1-print}
\doifmode{clean1-screen}{\environment bookenv-clean1-screen}
\product chapter1/chapter0
\product chapter1/chapter1
\product chapter2/chapter2
\product chapter3/chapter3
\product chapter4/chapter4
\product chapter5/chapter5
\product chapter6/chapter6
\product chapter7/chapter7
\product chapter8/chapter8
\stopproject
chapter0.tex looks like this:
\startproduct chapter0
\project book
\startbodymatter
\setupheadnumber[chapter][-1]
\chapter[chap:0]{Preliminaries}
\component chapter0/section1 %Number Systems
\component chapter0/section2 %Logic
\stopbodymatter
\stopproduct
And the beginning lines in section1.tex look like this:
\startcomponent section1
\project book
\product chapter0/chapter0
\usemodule[newmat]
\usemodule[fig-base]
\usefigurebase[figures/figlibSection1]
\section[section:numbers]{Number systems}
The beginning lines in section2,tex look like this:
\startcomponent section1
\project book
\product chapter0/chapter0
\usemodule[newmat]
\usemodule[fig-base]
\usefigurebase[figures/figlibSection1]
\section[section:numbers]{Number systems}
The files section1figs.tex and section2figs.tex contain Metapost code in
\startMPpage
...
\stopMPpage
pairs. The figure libraries figlibSection1.xml and figlibSection2.xml
look like this:
?xml version='1.0'?
?context-directive job module fig-make ?
?context-directive job mode letter ?

It all seems to work. I have compiled individual sections, like
section1.tex and I've compiled chapters, like chapter0.tex. I haven't
tried to compile book.tex (too big), so I don't know if that works.
Hope this helps.

Re: [NTG-context] components and figure search paths
And the beginning lines in section1.tex look like this:
\startcomponent section1
\project book
\product chapter0/chapter0
Does it matter what you put after the \startcomponent? I'm always
trying to figure out whether to use the full relative path or just the
last piece of it.
Would
\product chapter0
also work? I'm pretty sure it would: I think the \product line is
ignored and only the \project file is read. When I compile a
component that begins with
\startcomponent c_ch1
\product onebook
\project project_books
I get:
systems : begin file c_ch1 at line 1
systems : begin file project_books at line 3
(../../project_books.tex
systems : begin file env_books at line 3
(../../env_books.tex)
systems : end file env_books at line 3
)
systems : end file project_books at line 3
\usefigurebase[figures/figlibSection1]
Ah, that must be the equivalent of
\setupexternalfigures{directory=figures/figlibSection1}
I haven't tried to compile book.tex (too big), so I don't know if
that works.
It might work, though I remember reading on the list sometime that one
isn't supposed to compile the project file -- only the components or
the products. Which brings me back to what I don't understand about
the project structuring (the purpose of the \product command).

If you compile a project, it compiles, but there are difference in page breaks for project and product. The product and component have the same page break. Hans had asked for an example to show the problem, and I could not get time to produce the problem in a small example. My example where the problem occurs was big.

[NTG-context] Global and per product TOC
Hello,
I would like to be able to have a set of books in a single document, and
think the project/product model could be used.
In the big manual it is said that one can have a completecontent per
product. I would like a global TOC, and for each product a TOC per product
(in this case per book). Currently each book have the whole project TOC.
How to achieve this? Thanks for any hint.
The structure I've tried:
\startproject proj
% global TOC
\completecontent
\product book1
\product book2
\stopproject
--
\startproduct book1
\project proj
% well, to put in an environment file...
\startsectionblockenvironment[frontpart]
\setuppagenumber[number=1]
\setuppagenumbering[conversion=romannumerals]
\stopsectionblockenvironment
\startsectionblockenvironment[bodypart]
\setuppagenumber[number=1]
\stopsectionblockenvironment
\starttext
\startfrontmatter
% Local book TOC?
\completecontent[criterium=local]
\chapter{A}

\chapter{B}

[NTG-context] Problem with a french document
Hi all,
I use a "complex" structure for my document (project, product,
environment and components).
The project is allmost empty except for the environment and the product
declarations.
The environment contains all my \usemodule, \setupstuff and fonts
settings (I use texnansi because I can't have correct horizontal spaces
in MetaUML with the EC encoding... and don't want bitmap fonts :) ).
The product obviously contains the project declaration, the
\start-\stoptext and my components.
My question is: What's the best place to put french settings ?
For the moment, I have:
\useregime[il9]
\enableencoding[ffr]
\mainlanguage[fr]
in my product but I have some VERY STRANGE problems with accentuated
characters (I have tried before and after \startproduct...):
1.I have a custom title page defined in a t-title.tex module - a
results in ' while and are right (maybe a problem with texnansi
but I don't think so)
2.
\setupheadertexts[][{\sl \getmarking[chapter]}]
\startfrontmatter
\setuppagenumbering[conversion=romannumerals]
\setuppagenumber[number=1]
\chapter{Table des matires}
\placecontent[alternative=c,criterium=all,interaction=all,partnumber=no]
\stopfrontmatter
results in: Tables des Mati'res in the header, the toc element and the
chapter title... while other toc elements is ok (with accentuated
characters)
3. same problems with \chapter within backmatter start/stop pair...
I must precise that I have the following error:
TeXUtil | fatal error in plugin processor MySynonyms (wrong argument
type nil (expected Regexp))
I'm going nuts... :-!
Cheers,
Renaud

[NTG-context] components and figure search paths
Using components (e.g. book chapters), with each component in its own
directory, say I have
\startproduct onebook
\project manybooks
\component 1/chap
\component 2/chap
\stopproduct
with this 1/chap.tex:
\startcomponent 1/chap
\product onebook
\project manybooks
\title{One}
An essential chapter.
\useexternalfigure[ff][abc.1]
\placefigure[here][ff]{Some caption}{\externalfigure[ff]}
\stopcomponent
I'd like to keep the figures and source for a chapter together,
e.g. abc.mp and abc.1 in 1/chap/ since each chapter has many figures,
and I edit and test one chapter at a time.
That arrangement works fine if I build the component:
cd 1 texexec chap.tex
but not if I build the product:
texexec book.tex
(it doesn't find abc.1 since it's not in the same dir as book.tex)
The details.pdf manual says that figures are searched for in the local
path (current directory) and the global one, with the global one set by
the directory keyword:
\setupexternalfigures[directory={c:/fig/eps,c:/fig/pdf}]
Is there a way to specify current directory relative to this
component, or a way to add that setting to the default 'local' path
(even before '.')?
I could add it manually in the preamble of the 1/chap.tex but it would
mean hardwiring the pathname into it, which seems hacky. E.g. it fails
if I export the whole source tree to /tmp/tmp.2773ab/ to test rebuilding
all the pdf's from scratch.
