Re: [NTG-context] Index
Hans, many thanks for the recent fixes on index sorting in the new ruby
scripts. Can I offer another test file in which some errors still show
up, in the hope that these too can be ironed out?
The following shows two problems, culled from a much bigger project. It
should be clear from the output what the problems are, but basically
1. there are three separate spans (\startregister...\stopregister pairs)
with the same term content (these three separate spans coalesce) which
get coalesced into one strange a-b-c-d span, despite having been given
different sort keys (I added numbers to the end of the sort keys to
differentiate them).
2. there are three refs and a span all with the same term content
(these mixed refs and spans are in the wrong order), and they get
sorted into the wrong order in the output (the span comes before the
refs, despite coming after in page order).
So in my output, my index page at the back has the following content:
these mixed refs and spans are in the
wrong order 1/12–1/13, 1/2, 1/10,
1/14
these three separate spans coalesce
1/1–1/2–1/5–1/7
whereas what I'd hope to see is:
these mixed refs and spans are in the
wrong order 1/2, 1/10, 1/12–1/13,
1/14
these three separate spans coalesce
1/1–1/2, 1/3–1/5, 1/6–1/7
Really hope you can hammer out these two bugs, it would really help me!
Thanks,
Duncan

Re: [NTG-context] Index
Hans can give a more authoritative answer, of course, but as a provisional one: no, the command name hasn't changed, you don't need to worry. The way ConTeXt is organized is that the binary texexec (which resides in texmf/ARCH/bin/) is just a small shell-script, a stub, that calls the real script in turn. This has been texexec.pl (in texmf/scripts/context/perl/), but you can of course modify it so it runs another script. Hans has been toying with ruby lately, so we now have texmf/scripts/ruby/newtexexec.rb which, I suppose, will replace the old texexec in due time. But as you have seen, it's not yet quite ready for prime time, it's still missing a few features (I don't think it can post-process pdf-files yet) and has a few buglets...

I would like these ranges to be elided - in other words, the first one would read 1/1-3 (remove repeated chapter number), and the second would read 2/24-6 (remove repeated chapter number and also the repeated 2 in page number). Question: is there an already existing system to do this? I guess no :-) Followup: I would be willing to help to code this if it doesn't exist (I have some experience with such systems) if someone can point me at the right bit of code to look at (things seem to be changing around texutils, newtexexec etc. so I don't want to start at the wrong place). Sorry to be a pain, but can anyone help with this? I'm converting a legacy system, in which everything (cross referencing, tables of contents, indices) was hand-coded in plain tex and Perl, across to ConTeXt. The advantage of having hand-coded the indexing stuff was that I could easily add features like eliding, or funny sort orders. I now need to reproduce the same output. I suspect I could apply the same techniques to the ConTeXt code, but I don't want to embark on a fool's errand if (a) it's already done somewhere, or My experience: It is not implemented in (old) texutil.pl. It is even not implemented in simpler only-page-number case. In the code there is secret switch '$CollapseEntries', by default it is off. Switching manually on leads to all index page entries collaps to one (generally noncontinuous) range. The same sad result you obtain if you use startregister...stopregister pair. If you know Perl it is not difficult to insert such stuff for one application. It is very difficult to create a general solution. I have no (positive and deep) experience with new ruby texutil equivalent. vit (b) the code I hack is about to be replaced.

I assume he does have a valid point, since so far I only had a short and theoretical look at the format, but I can only guess what it is. Hans, could you give an example or two? From this discussion it seems that I (as an xml ignoramous) would be better off converting to ConTeXt code rather than processing pure xml blocks (but maybe I'm wrong). XML is much, much easier to parse than just about anything else. That means that whatever your conversion process uses, you can simply reuse an XML parser in whatever language you want to use. (Interpreting the file may be easy or hard, depending on the xml structure at hand.) The only exception I can see right now would be a rather large and error-prone “Visual” Basic program to create a sort of export filter for Word to write ConTeXt. I certainly don't think that's easier. Once I get a sane xml file (this seems to be the biggest problem) what is the best tool to convert this to ConTeXt? It depends on who is going to write the conversion. From the languages I've used so far, it's probably easiest to do in xslt, but if you are/have at hand a programmer who's good at ruby but would have to learn xslt first, the whole thing may not be big enough to warrant learning another language first. Unless that programmer wants to, which would be a very good sign. Learning a new language per year is not really a bad idea. We are all extremely busy, of course, but if anyone finds this interesting I can send a sample doc article from my journal. Maybe we can do a MyWay or something to document this process for ourselves and others, as well as find It might be a pretty specific thing, though. My guess is that you could make more progress by thinking about what sort of structurals you would like to have, rather than looking at what you have right now.

Duncan Hothersall wrote: Well, XSLT seems to have been designed, and certainly tends to be implemented, as a tool for simple transformations of small XML chunks. No, xslt is a tool for arbitrary xml - xml conversions (and a little more than that). With a good implementation (say, saxon), working with moderately large trees is pretty fast. The stylesheet is actually compiled before running. Obviously complex transformations can be constructed from a bunch of simple transformations, but there comes a point when you should really Just about any programming language gives you simple operations to build whatever you want from. just use a better tool - though these tend to cost serious money (e.g. „Better“ depends on your task at hand. OmniMark). Also, most XSLT implementations use the DOM model, which is XSLT uses a DOM model, which is different from the W3C DOM model. fine for a 50Kb file but will be incredibly resource-hungry if you're processing files of 5Mb. At that point you want a streaming model, and That depends on what you want to do with your data. For many of my needs, a streaming model simply wouldn't work without keeping lots of information (to be processed later) in memory, defeating the model. I have found splitting my data into files that form conceptional units to be a good way, both for editing the files and for turnaround times. (I am using Makefiles, so the granularity of finding unchanged items for me is the file.) We are talking about almost 15MB here, which I regard as pretty much, considering it is almost pure text. Again, I don't mind using something else on XML data. I'm doing it myself. It all depends on what you want to do. In the case of transforming xml to ConTeXt, I would go for an xslt implementation, but ymmv. After all, the choice of tools always depends on many factors, including familiarity. (I've continued using perl instead of ruby for ages, until recently, for that reason.) for a streaming model you want a better suited language than XSLT. As I say, horses for courses. For article-length pieces and simple transforms, XSLT might suffice. For number crunching, xslt is certainly inadequate. Transforming books of average length (say, 300-500 pages) is certainly doable, although I would go for a transformation chapter-by-chapter,especially considering that we are talking about a process where crossreferences etc. are going to be handled later in the chain.

Hi Maurice, Maurice Diamantini wrote: What about Lua, Adding one more dependency to ConTeXt make it more difficult to install and maintain. So what is the advantage of luo in conTeXt instead of ruby? Lua will not be 'in context', but 'in pdftex': the lua library will be integrated in the executable, as a true extension language that can be used besides and interleaved with TeX's normal syntax. Lua is probably the best language for this sort thing, because its code is small and very easy to extend/embed. On the user side of things, nothing will change compared to the current 'update your pdftex release' stuff. Using LuaTeX will eventually probably mean extra functionality, but the most likely sort-term result is a gain in processing speed, because the in-line scripting can reduce the number of needed TeX runs.

The baseline of the glyph inside the key is aligned with text outside the key. I waffled back and forth trying to find the most attractive position while building the font. The majority of keycaps fonts I looked at chose the same baseline. Having looked at the uploaded .pdf, I agree: very nice! I do agree with Nikolai that there appears at first glance to be a bit of a baseline problem. As you mention, though, the baselines are right. The actual difficulty, in my opinion, is that the font is just a bit too small, and so the _tops_ of the keys are too low -- it looks odd for them to be lower than the tops of the capital letters, when the depth of the keys is so large. Why not just center the characters? No problem for most of them since they have the same height (due to the upppercase char); All keyboards are different in positioning, so it does not hurt that much. By centering on gets a better look and feel. Concerning the 'construct a key' approach, how about the following: - provide shapes for a single, double-wide, tripple-wide, tripple height, enter-shape keys. - next we can make a series of virtual fonts using the new condensed latin modern (sans or monospaced) that way also keyboards for other languages can be constructed; I guess that a simple perl/ruby script can construct the virtual font.

[NTG-context] towards some more consistency in regimes unicode support
Hello,
Sorry for a slightly longer mail. I wanted to send it to context-dev,
but probably there's someone else besides Adam out there who could
contribute (for example to re-chech Greek or Cyrillic section of Unicode
or even add some missing Hebrew definitions for example). If someone
thinks that it's more appropriate, please feel free to continue the
discussion on context-dev.
I. in regi-utf it would be fine to add:
\defineregimesynonym[utf-8][utf]
\defineregimesynonym[utf8][utf]
II. After a long time I finally decided to write my first ruby script. I
took UnicodeData.txt, adobe glyph list, enco-uc.tex, collected
averything together, removed characters (in case someone needs
them they can trivially be added again, but I don't think that anyone is
planning to name them shortly), did some manual corrections ... and here
are the results:
http://pub.mojca.org/tex/enco/contextlist/
http://pub.mojca.org/tex/enco/contextbase/regi-temp.tex
The idea behind is that there is no definite refence to the ConTeXt
glyph names, which means that every new regime that should be supported
needs a lot of manual work and leads to many inconsistencies.
The file contextnames.txt contains the Unicode hexadecimal number, pdf
name (from Adobe Glyph List), ConTeXt name and the Unicode name. This
could then be a source of information when adding new regimes, writing
unicode vectors (unic-*), mapping to font encodings,
uppercasing/lowercasing information for font encoding and other files
can now be derived directly from unicode and this list (unicode already
contains information about upper/lowercase variants of the letters) ...
There is some more info missing, which should be either packed within
the same file or in separate files:
- ConTeXt synonyms (like \Dcroat - \Dstroke, ...)
- pdf synonyms (dbar - dcroat), to help recognize the glyphs in .enc or
.afm and automate support for it
- faking the characters (\ccaron - \buildtextaccent\textcaron{C})
- unaccented version of the characters (\Aacute - A, ...)
- other characters not present in unicode (Caron, Acute - these are
accents for uppercase letters, ...)
- (I'm sure that I wanted to add some more points, but I don't remember
any other right now)
When I wanted to add the names from unic-34.tex, I realized that we
don't really need to have a command for every single unicode character
(we certainly don't need to map math characters into that region), but
if someone already has a file with unicode integrals, it costs nothing
to give him those characters in output.
(Shortly: 0x2211, N-ARY SUMMATION should expand into $\sum$, but not
the other way round)
I have to slightly change the syntax in the context glyph names file to
note this difference and to be able to define math (and other) signs
properly.
III. Now I need some help - someone should help me revise the file
contextname.txt (I prepared a HTML version of it): correct mistakes (if
any are spotted), add new definitions, help to prepare a list of
synonyms, a list of expansions (\buildtextaccent), ...
Here are some points which I spotted, but can't fix them alone
1. Characters missing (needed by some regimes):
0020-007F section
037A GREEK YPOGEGRAMMENI
0384 GREEK TONOS
0385 GREEK DIALYTIKA TONOS
2015 HORIZONTAL BAR
2017 DOUBLE LOW LINE
20AA NEW SHEQEL SIGN
20AB DONG SIGN
20AF DRACHMA SIGN
2116 NUMERO SIGN
200E LEFT-TO-RIGHT MARK
200F RIGHT-TO-LEFT MARK
1Exx section
2. Greek - there are some name inconsistencies when compared to the
unic-031 vector, but I don't know anything about old greek. I didn't
check Cyrillic at all.
3. Punctuation and accents - mostly names for quotes and language
dependency (lowerleftuppersixquote in comparison to lftdblquote ... or
whatever they are called) (+ tricks, I already asked about quotes
hyphenation approximately a week ago).
I have problems understanding the difference between letter modifiers
(U+02Cx) and usual accents (U+00Bx), Combining Diacritical Marks
(U+03xx) should be supported somehow as well. I have no idea how to make
U+0065 U+0301 (e + combining acute accent) into eacute.
4. should hungarumlaut be doubleacute and hungarumlaut only its synonym
or the other way round?
5. tbar vs. tstroke: compare 0166 and 023E
6. cedilla/commaaccent dilema: there's a huge problem with t with
cedilla (0162): t with comma below (021A) sould be used instead (at
least this is stated in Unicode reference), but most regimes map a
character to t with cedilla (0162), which seems stupid to me. Adobe
glyph list therefore uses tcommaaccent for t with cedilla, which looks
like t with comma accent, but is on the wrong place. lmr have both
tcommaaccent and tcedilla. \tcedilla should be t with cedilla in my
opinion and \tcommaaccent t with comma accent. That currently isn't

Is there something equivalent (or better :) in/for ConTeXt? I personally do not know of anything that is comparable right away, but I could be wrong. I don't know of anything either. The LaTeX listings package is mostly just TeX at its core, so it's feasible to think of translating it -- but, even if it's only 5% LaTeX, that's still quite a lot of code, so it's still a good bit of work! The lgrind documentation does refer to an earlier tgrind which worked in Plain TeX; this might also work in ConTeXt. Side note: I looked at the source of lgrind and it looks rather simple, so it may be possible to replace the lgrind executable with a perl (or ruby) script that can be targeted at ConTeXt as well as LaTeX. In my opinion, that would be a useful thing, since lgrind itself is non-free. (Specifically, it's based on code with a no-commercial license.) An implementation that was careful to avoid any literal copying would get around that, and be a useful thing to have. Meanwhile, though, after looking through the code, I don't think there's actually much need to modify the executable. Lgrind mostly doesn't write LaTeX (which is why Andre found it so obscure) -- it writes TeXcode that uses its own simple commands, which are then defined in lgrind.sty. To use Lgrind in ConTeXt, one needs to translate the style file into a t-lgrind.tex, at which point the same Lgrind output files can be used in both systems. If you do re-implement it as a Python script, I would suggest keeping things similarly flexible, as it would be good to be able to use the re-implementation in LaTeX as well (due to the aforementioned license issues, an also just because it's convenient to be able to use the same system, for those of us likely to be writing papers in LaTeX and presentations in ConTeXt). - Brooks ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
[NTG-context] kpse
Hi, The latest distribution has an experimental ruby kpse class in kpsefast.rb (expects updates -). As far as i can measure it's not slower than native kpse and once loaded in a ruby prog it's faster of than reinvoking kpse each time; it can (optionaly) dump the database in a home/temp path which halves loading time. I will probably use this mechanism in the coming texexec/texutil (maybe also in texmfstart). The associated variant of kpsewhich is 'tmftools' (no help yet). Apart from basic kpsewhich functionality it will harbor more tree tools. texmfstart tfmtools --analyze --root=/whatever/tex texmfstart tfmtools --analyze --root=/whatever/tex --trees=texmf,texmf-local can be very instructive on duplicate files on your machine and point you to problems. It has a --delete option which can be used as follows texmfstart tfmtools --analyze --root=/whatever/tex --delete texmf-local/fonts/.*/lm this will remove dups in texmf-local (to be sure, one needs to pass --force as well) 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 - ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

I looked at it. Seems that basic sorting rules can be set by macro, more
difficult by Rubu module, right? Let start with macro.
I derrived test file from your example. The only difference is that I
replace \ccaron by č in IL2 and put \enableregime[IL2] to very
beginning. Seems such char is not recognized by sorting rules. What is
wrong?
I see there are 4 macros. I guess their meaning:
\exportsortrule {zacron}{z+1} ... replaces two lines:
\exportsortexpansion {ccaron} {cz} ... char to string replacement
\exportsortdivision {cz} {ccaron} ... reverse
\exportsortreduction{ch}{c} ... second pass replacement ???
if I want 'ch' be sorted between 'h' and 'i' so I do

[NTG-context] Sparklines to be in ConTeXt?
Hey, what do you people actually think about E. Tufte's Sparklines?² They are a great and innovative thing in my mind; both in the information mediating and the typographic sense. There's a bare-bones LaTeX package on CTAN, but when I think about it, this technique could find a perfect place in ConTeXt's framework (say MetaPost, XML, Scripting and so on. There's even some kind of Ruby implementation³). - Tobias ² http://www.edwardtufte.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=0001ORtopic_id=1 ³ http://redhanded.hobix.com/inspect/sparklinesForMinimalists.html ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
[NTG-context] Regimes to be supported; Comments?
Hello, Some time ago there was a discussion about extending support for different regimes in ConTeXt. The list of (to-be-)supported regimes probably depends strongly on the implementation (ruby+iconv?). I collected a preliminary list of candidate regimes and possible synonyms (some synonyms are listed there for backward compatibility and have to remain there), leaving out most of eastern encodings (not because they shouldn't be on the list, but because I'm completely ignorant about that). Hans suggested to post this to the mailing list first to get some useful comments and suggestions. # The following question should probably go in a separate thread, but it's a very similar thematic. In July 2006 Ljubljana will host people from around 85 coutries of the world. One of the very ambitious organizers is dreaming for already a couple of years to print the participant names (on honourable mentions for example, ...) in both latinic transcription and as they are written in original (under an assumption that the names are properly entered in a UTF-8 database). This is probably not possible to do for every single obscure language, but does it in general sound like: a) Good luck (I don't want to be on your place)! b) Take a good (commercial) program c) If you're ready to invest the rest of your time (forget about hobbies!), it's probably doable in LaTeX or ConTeXt until then č) Forget about TeX - it will be possible to solve this problem one day with unicode one of the new TeX engines. But until then, it's not worth the effort, because any effort you may invest will become obsolete in a couple of years. To be honest, even some people who will thanslate the materials into the native language, will probably do that with paper, pencil scanner. # Mojca And here the encodings: # ISO ISO-8859-1 Western ISO-8859-2 Central European ISO-8859-3 South European ISO-8859-4 Baltic ISO-8859-5 Cyrillic ISO-8859-6 Arabic ISO-8859-7 Greek ISO-8859-8 Hebrew Visual ISO-8859-8-I Hebrew (???)

The scripts in the folders /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/scripts/context/ruby /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/scripts/context/perl are executable Because of this output I've thought mktextfm must have an sl to /usr/sbin Now I've canceled all softlinks in /usr/sbin except the sl's I've said up in my mail and the kpse* rzvlabwks:/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf # texmfstart texexec.pl --version TeXExec 5.4.2 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texexec : TeXExec 5.4.2 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texutil : kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmr12 mktextfm: No such file or directory kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log. kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmr7 mktextfm: No such file or directory kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmr9 mktextfm: No such file or directory kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmbx7 mktextfm: No such file or directory kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmbx9 mktextfm: No such file or directory kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmbx12 mktextfm: No such file or directory kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmro10 mktextfm: No such file or directory kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmro9 mktextfm: No such file or directory kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmro12 mktextfm: No such file or directory kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmri10 mktextfm: No such file or directory kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmri9 mktextfm: No such file or directory kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmri12 mktextfm: No such file or directory kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmbxo10 mktextfm: No such file or directory kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmbxo10 mktextfm: No such file or directory kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmbxo10 mktextfm: No such file or directory kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmbxi10 mktextfm: No such file or directory kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmbxi10 mktextfm: No such file or directory kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmbxi10 mktextfm: No such file or directory kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmcsc10 mktextfm: No such file or directory kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmcsc10 mktextfm: No such file or directory kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmcsc10 mktextfm: No such file or directory tex : pdfeTeX, 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4) context : ver: 2005.07.21 cont-en : ver: 2005.07.21 fmt: 2005.7.27 mes: english kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmr12 mktextfm: No such file or directory kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log. kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmr7 mktextfm: No such file or directory kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmr9 mktextfm: No such file or directory kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmbx7 mktextfm: No such file or directory kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmbx9 mktextfm: No such file or directory kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmbx12 mktextfm: No such file or directory kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmro10 mktextfm: No such file or directory kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmro9 mktextfm: No such file or directory kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmro12 mktextfm: No such file or directory kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmri10 mktextfm: No such file or directory kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmri9 mktextfm: No such file or directory kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmri12 mktextfm: No such file or directory kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmbxo10 mktextfm: No such file or directory kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmbxo10 mktextfm: No such file or directory kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmbxo10 mktextfm: No such file or directory kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmbxi10 mktextfm: No such file or directory kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmbxi10 mktextfm: No such file or directory kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmbxi10 mktextfm: No such file or directory kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmcsc10 mktextfm: No such file or directory kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmcsc10 mktextfm: No such file or directory kpathsea: Running mktextfm ec-lmcsc10 mktextfm: No such file or directory cont-nl : ver: 2005.07.21 fmt: 2005.7.27 mes: dutch total run time : 2 seconds ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

In my point of view, that should only be a fallback. We already have
Iconv in ruby and can, if we know that ISO-8859-2 is a single byte
coding system, simply say
conv = Iconv.new(UTF-16, ISO-8859-2)
255.times { |i| puts lookup[conv.iconv(%c % i)] }
to get the whole list, assuming we've filled the lookup hash first.
As you've said, I'd combine steps A2 and A3, to make ConTeXt run
faster. If you want, for whatever reason, to use \textellipsis for an
ellipsis (it just looks horribly wrong to me) instead of \dots, you'd
need to invoke the ruby script which generates the regi-* files.
The whole thing should not require any change at all to ConTeXt
itself, since the regi-* files could look exactly as they do now, just
being generated automatically. (For the multibyte encodings, the whole
thing gets much more tricky.)

Great!
Sorry for all my philosophising! I don't know ruby (yet) and I didn't
even think about this possibility. My last idea was to parse and
combine the data on http://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/,
http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/UnicodeData.txt and
http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/opentype/aglfn13.txt,
but your idea is hundred times faster and better! Thanks a lot!
As you've said, I'd combine steps A2 and A3, to make ConTeXt run faster.
That's OK for me. If there's a simple internal ruby tool (called every
time when unicode-tex mapping changes or some more encoding support
is added) instead of one-time-script, there should be no problem to do
that directly.
If you want, for whatever reason, to use \textellipsis for an
ellipsis (it just looks horribly wrong to me) instead of \dots, you'd
need to invoke the ruby script which generates the regi-* files.
I just wanted to give an example that changes are sometimes needed and
that it is difficult to trace all the places where they should have
been made. Sorry, this example wasn't very ilustrative, I don't even
know what \textellipses stands for, I just saw some comments about
changes made in regi-* files or some discrepancies.
The whole thing should not require any change at all to ConTeXt
itself, since the regi-* files could look exactly as they do now, just
being generated automatically. (For the multibyte encodings, the whole
thing gets much more tricky.)
I noticed (perhaps I'm wrong) that TeX community support for cyrillic
may be better than that in unicode and in the available old 8bit
encodings. ConTeXt is also already supporting those strange regimes
(ctt, dbk, mls, mnk, mos, ncc, ...) that I was unable to find anywhere
else. In this case one should also be careful in order not to spoil
this already available feature.
I'm still slighlty confused by the encoding files (texnansi, ec,...,
in one case iso-8859-7 is used). Does it mean that it is impossible
(or at least very complex or slow) to access more than 256 characters
from a single font at once?

[NTG-context] Re: some beta software (fontinstaller)
Hello again, finally a follow-up. I have been working on my font installer for the last few (insert your favourite time period here). It has come to a state where it is actually usable. Although not very fancy yet. For those who don't know: it is a set of ruby libraries to create a font installer as well as some example installers. It can handle a single font (like afm2tfm) and a font family (like fontinst). Included in the distribution is a program called afm2tfm.rb. You might guess that this is meant as a replacement for afm2tfm (comes with dvips). It can do a bit more than afm2tfm, for example, it can also handle truetype fonts and keep kerning and ligature information in the tfm file. Another program included is 'rfont', a simple installer for font families (regular, bold, italic, ...). But for that program, I need some help for implementing ConTeXt font support. LaTeX support is already working (although very preliminary - I'd appreciate help there, too). Prerequisites: * ruby 1.8 (I guess, I have not tested it with 1.6) * pltotf, vptovf (come with your TeX distribution) * ttf2afm (pdftex), if you want to install truetype fonts * patience (not everything is bug free) * subversion if you want to stay up to date and can't wait a few hours for the nightly snapshot. This release is dedicated to Mojca and Nikolai (who have to wait for the changes in texshow-web - I was just too busy with this) Here is the project page: https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/rfil/ and here is the 'home page' of the project: https://rfil.groups.foundry.supelec.fr/ (documentation in rdoc format) There is also a mailinglist at that site. You can find it at the project page. Because the upload of the foundry server is not working for me at the moment, I have put the current cvs snapshot at http://levana.de/tmp/rfil-104.tgz. This will go away soon. You can always downoad the nightly svn snapshot. Any kind of feedback is welcome.

Yes, I had something different in mind.
A1.) prepare the files to be used as a source of transformation from
any character set to utf and prepare a list of synonyms for
encodings
(example: a file that says that in ISO-8859-2, character 0xA3
represents an unicode character 0x0141 (lstroke): for every character,
for every Mac/Windows/iso/[...] encoding that we want to support)
A2.) write a script which automatically generates regi-* files from
those files, but regi-* files would contain only the mapping to
unicode number
(example:
\startregime[iso-8859-2]
...
\somecommandtomapacharactertounicode {163}{1}{65} % lstroke
...
\stopregime)
A3.) prepare a huge file with mapping from unicode numbers to ConTeXt commands
(example:
...
\somecommandtomapfromunicodetocontext {1}{65}{\lstroke}
...)
A4.) ... I don't mind what ConTeXt does with this \lstroke afterwards,
but it seems it is already clever enough to produce the (proper) glyph
at the end
What should ConTeXt do with that?
B1.) The file under A3 should be processed at the beginning. As it may
become really huge, exotic definitions should be only preloaded if
asked for (\usemodule[korean]), while there is probably no harm if
(accented) latin, greek, cyrillic and punctuation (TM, copyright, ..)
are preloaded by default
B2.) Once the \enableregime[iso-8859-2] or any other regime is
requested, the file with the corresponding regime definitions is
processed. However, as \somecommandtomapacharactertounicode
{163}{1}{65} is processed, the character '163' is not stored as
\uchar{1}{65}, but as \lstroke. '\somecommandtomapacharactertounicode'
would first take a look which ConTeXt command is saved under
\uchar{1}{65} and call the
\defineactivetoken 179 {\lstroke} as a result.
I don't know the details of the ConTeXt internal stuff, but I think
(hope) that it should be possible to do it this way. B1 (preloading
mapping from unicode to tex commands) is probably the only hungry
step in the whole story.
I think that it doesn't make any sense to ask the user to \input
regi-whatever. \enableregime and some additional definitions should
be clever enough to find out which file to process in order to enable
the proper regime.
%
Christopher's idea is actually yet another alternative, which combines
the steps A2 and A3. If the mapping unicode-ConTeXt is in some
easy-to-parse format, there's actually no additional effort if the
script writes directly the ConTeXt commands instead of unicode numbers
into regi-* files, so that B2 has some less work to do. As long as it
is guaranteed that nobody will change these files manually, this is
OK. The only drawback is that if someone notices that \textellipsis
is more suitable than \dots, the script has to be changed and the
files have to be generated once more. If the character is mapped to
(0x2026 HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS) instead, only one line in the file with
unicode-ConTeXt mapping (A3) has to be changed.
If B2 cannot work as described, the Christopher's proposal would be
the only proper way to go.
%
I wanted to test \showcharacters on the live.contextgarden.net (as
Hans suggested that my map files are probably not OK), but it didn't
compile there. (I hope it's not because of my buggy contributions in
the last few days.)
Is there any tool or macro to visialize all the glyphs available in a
font? \showcharacters (if it works) shows only the glyphs that ConTeXt
is aware of. What about the rest?

Not being the one that has to do the programming, that's an easy thing to say :) # texshow-web I've just noticed that there's no possibility to describe single options for the commands. Take \setuplayout for example. Describing such huge collection of parameters in plain text is not clear, synoptic any more. It would be great if there would be a possibility to add descriptions for: - the command as such (already there) - every pair of braces (only one for \setuplayout), has to be visible if it is optional or not This is already there, but perhaps a bit too subtle: optional arguments are typeset using darkred braces and brackets (instead of black) - every parameter inside a single brace - every single option for that parameter (for example: width=middle means that ...), default has to be marked I believe that information is not in the XML file, but I guess it should be. Would requires quite some a bit of effort on the data- entry side (deriving the used defaults from the actual sources). Enabling the Wiki functionality (bold, italic, tables ... texcode and context) and linking it to the source browser (to the place where \def\thisspecificcommand is) would also add another dimensionality. It would probably not be 100% compatible with the pretty-much-textbased texshow program, but ... I could imagine that one day something similar as modules.pdf (texshow.pdf) could be made from that page with pretty good documentation of (all ?) ConTeXt commands. standalone texshow is on the list to be re-done anyway, so I can make it do whatever texshow-web does without much extra effort (esp. since it will also become a ruby script). The ability to add commands is already there I think (I have never tried it out yet). What about adding commands for (official and third-party) modules? It should be separated from the main page, but still offering the same functionality. This was on the todo list, IIRC. There is also metapost/metafun and LaTeX commands to consider. :) Taco ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

First I should mention that my default system path points to the TeXLive path of /usr/TeX/bin/i386-linux. so texexec --make --all will execute that program. If I go to the new texexec and execute it specifically: /usr/local/tex/texmf-linux/bin/texexec --make --all then it can't find Ruby. Also, the setuptex program as distributed is not marked as executable. If i mark it as executable and execute it the execution is in the blink of an eye. I am not sure it actually does anything. When I do set |less the value of TEXROOT does not show up. In the directory usr/local/tex/texmf-linux/bin if I execute ./pdfetex I get version 1.20a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.3 But if I go to /usr/share/texmf/bin (the Slackware distribution of TeX) and execute ./pdfetex I get 1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4) So the download of linuxtex.zip from Pragma gives an older version of crucial software than the straight Slackware install.

Re: [NTG-context] chancery font
Thanks Thomas for the manual. I have already printed it, and cannot wait to give it a try. In the mean time I welcome any other concrete tips for installing a new font, step by step that is. If you recall the earlier postings: my idea would be to start with a new font consisting of only one pfb file. I would like to understand each Context instruction in the files, in order to be better able to reproduce it. In my previous attempts, I often copied instructions without really understanding why they were needed. In my last attempt the pk file was not generated, perhaps not due to Context...? (Although the font did work under Latex.) In the end my ideal would be a context which typesets Arabic, Russian and Turkish, plus transcription according to a code I developed myself.

\setupbackgrounds[page][background=TitleGraphic]

One of my TeXLive2003:s (I guess the XP at home) has TeXLive installed in C:\Program Files, which means that while ConTeXt now works fine with spaces in file names, the TeXfont in that system doesn't, so I haven't been able to install a single extra font besides the ones I already have. Where TeXLive2003 is installed as C:\TeXLive, I haven't had problems. I don't yet know what newer versions do here. If you don't have the TeXLive CD (as several TeX user groups send their members), try - http://www.tug.org/texlive/ TeXLive 2004 .iso CD image, i.e. the installable TeXLive, does NOT come with Windows installer and I couldn't get it to install by running the shell scripts in CygWin, either. Or let's say, it kind of installs, but takes a ton of tweaking afterwards and still doesn't work for me. (Note. I tried installing it into a blank Windows2000, a Windows without an older version of TeXLive2003 (and very little else besides Windows and Office)). However, you may have better luck if you get hold of the stand-alone (runnable) TeXLive2004 DVD. The instructions on how to install TeXLive on Windows from that are at http://www.tug.org/texlive/windows.html, see Manual Windows installation for 2004 and this sounds like a viable option (had to find a DVD burner first and just got the DVD done, so haven't tried yet). The same page now also mentions that there's now a provisional installation program for reasonably experienced users who know how to use command line. (Maybe I'll try this... not getting TeXLive 2004 to work majorly *irritates* me.) Maybe some Windows users know others or can recommend which one is best (with which editor). I'm weird, I use NTEmacs (have to install that separately) with context.el. For Emacs it probably doesn't make any difference what distribution is used as long as it works at all. My workmate installed the standalone windows version (mswincontext.zip) and found out (the hard way) that it required some bits and pieces that a standard Windows (think of non-programming 'dummy user' Windows) doesn't automatically have - both perl and ruby were missing, at least. Once he installed ruby (perl he had already) and got the system running, he's been very happy with editing ConTeXt with Scite on the stand-alone. (Hans, I'd suggest including a small readme.txt in these windows zips for us dummy users which tell us about the system requirements including info on where to get ruby - the downloading page itself is less than informative in this respect. Or included perl and ruby into the standalone package as was done in the older/original version of the standalone. But for example I'd be quite ok with getting them from somewhere else if I got some pointers on from where.) Or, even better, while I'm at it: I'll go install the standalone in a computer that recently experienced a hard-disk wipe and *if* I get the system to work, I'll write the instructions for other Windows users to follow. mari (whose never used ConTeXt in any other platform than Windows) ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
Re: [NTG-context] Which version is best for MSWindows users.?
I am writing some e-books on free software. I am recommending TeX (of course) and Context instead of LaTeX. The vast majority of my readers will be using some flavor of MSWindows. Unfortunately there have been problems in synchronizing Context releases and Miktex releases, in re. hyphenation and fonts in general. I need to recommend a download package for readers who will be newcomers to the world of TeX. Which is the safest pointer? I see Miktex as a possibility but also the stripped versions of the TeX distribution maintained on the Context site. So how would you start an absolute newbie to e.g., Context and pdfetex? Where would you point them for their first download? I think both MikTeX and Hans' minimal tree are good. The MikTeX installer might feel a bit more familiar to a newbie, but if you give them instructions on how to install the minimal tree, it shouldn't be anymore challenging than MikTeX. Also, I think it's easier to stay in sync with Hans' development of ConTeXt using the minimal windows distribution and updating via the texsync script. Although, using texsync would also entail installing Ruby and Cygwin (to get the Rsync program). I think the only unexpected thing I had to do to get the minimal windows tree working was to make the files in texmf-mswin\bin executable (the permissions were not right).

\definefloat[describedfigure][describedfigures][figure]
\setupcaption
[describedfigure]
[align=right]
\placedescribedfigure
[]
[figure:...]
{A long description of the figure...}
{...}
and this works fine (is there a simpler way?). What I would like now is
to have the caption of describedfigure to have a small margin, so it
doesn't quite fill the width of the described figure. I couldn't find
this described in details.pdf (http://www.pragma-ade.com/ is down at the
moment so I couldn't check for any other doc's either).
Any suggestions?,

[NTG-context] Fonts, Fonts, Fonts
Always with the fonts on this list...
Anyway, I am running some recent beta of tetex and am still having
problems getting fonts loaded in ConTeXt.
\starttext
\showbodyfont[cmr,12pt]
\showbodyfont[lbr,12pt]
\stoptext
seems innocent enough, but produces two identical tables. pdfetex is
complaining about an all-base.map:
Warning: pdfetex (file all-base.map): cannot open font map file
and there is no such file anywhere (and a grep through /usr/share/texmf,
/etc/texmf, and /var/lib/texmf turns up nothing).
Could someone provide me with a simple rundown on what I should do. I
would really like to try typesetting my master's thesis in another font
than cmr before I hand it in. Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,
nikolai

Re: [NTG-context] Installing Bitstream fonts

I found a font package called bitstream-vera4context on a website and
downloaded it. Unfortunately I cant work out how to install them on

You could check out mag-0009.pdf I guess, it has some information about

[NTG-context] Using capsule versoion of TeX from Pragma.
To help solve some other problems I disabled the path to my existing TeXLive distro, downloaded the minimal Linux-tex from Pragma, and unzipped it in /usr/local. Following TeXLive conventions I established a path to /usr/local/tex/texmf-linux/bin in /etc/profile and rebooted. The executables at the end of that path were not executable so I made them executable. (chmod 777 *) I also made the setuptex script in /usr/local/tex executable. Per the instructions in setuptex I ran the following: ./setuptex . #note period mktexlsr texexec --make --alone and got the following error message /usr/bin/env: ruby: No such file or directory at this point I thought I had best stop stumbling around and ask for help.

Thank you for your note. In order to remove content from Google's
index, the webmaster must either change the content of the page itself
or use a robots.txt file or meta tags to block us from including the

Well, if it's already out there, there's really not much to do about it,
right? Anyway, consider getting a new mail account, perhaps on Gmail or
other, it seems to have a good spam filter. Otherwise you may try
www.fastmail.fm, I think they're great. I can give you a Gmail invite
if you would like it (www.gmail.com). Anyway, spam is inevitable,
mailing-list archive or not. Furthermore, I have not received any spam
to my context-users email alias so far, so it's strange that it affects
you.

Re: [NTG-context] Phonetic Symbols
* Adam Lindsay [EMAIL PROTECTED] [Dec 01, 2004 16:40]:
Bernd, I'll forward the thing I've come up with off-list. It builds
on the TIPA fonts in the LaTeX package.
This is a bit heretical I know but couldn't one just use a
\font\foo=nameoffont at 12pt
type statement?
Wow, this was a blast from the past.
Nothing wrong with that, as such, but I asked Sjoerd, the original
poster, about his use patterns. He actually didn't use the tipa encoding
shortcuts (the mapping of characters directly to glyphs in the fonts,
'@'), but rather the named glyphs (\textschwa). So I focussed on that at
first.
Now that I have learned a lot about ConTeXt's character system and
Unicode, I see a lot that I could have done differently. But then again,
it's also not the worst foundation for doing further work. (Such as
hooking it in with Unicode. I'd have to put the tip jar out in order to
take that on in the near future, though!)
John, why the sudden interest in a 6-month old post?
Em, I don't want to push this too hard, but I'd be interested in a
Tipa work-alike (or something similar) for ConTeXt as well. I'd
especially like the mapping part, rather than named glyphs, as it would
make more sense in the source of the document, for me at least.
Thanks for taking an interest in this Adam,
nikolai

[NTG-context] Recommended Books on Typesetting
Hi!
I was wondering if anyone has any books to recommend, mainly in the area
of typesetting, i.e., on TeX, typography, and so on.
Personally, I can recommend Donald E. Knuth's The TeXbook and also his
book on MetaFont.
I am thinking of getting The Complete Manual of Typography by James
Felici, which seems to be a very good book on the subject.
I have also been looking for books by Hermann Zapf, but most seem to be
out of print and very, very expensive where available; anyone know if
they are worth their steep prices? nikolai

[NTG-context] Greek Font Problem SOLVED
Thanks to the very kind and patient efforts of Thomas Schmitz, I no longer get ugly bitmaps in typesetting Greek but lovely script. I am posting the solution to the problem in the hope that it might prove useful to others. PROBLEM: bitmap display of Greek fonts on typesetting. These fonts (Teubner, Oxonia, Leipzig, Ibycus, Kadmos, Bosphoros) come in a package obtained from Thomas. SOLUTION: 1. remove/trash teTeX folder(s) 2. reinstall teTeX (TeXLive 2004) using iInstaller 3. re-install ConTeXt updater these first three steps were necessary because my installation of teTeX had become corrupted 4. in Terminal execute ruby /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/scripts/context/ruby/textools.rb --fixtexmftrees ~/Library/texmf 5. copy cont-sys.tex into /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/user/ 6. move the file greek.map into ~/Library/texmf/fonts/map/greek.map 7. in Terminal execute sudo updmap --disable greek.map and then sudo updmap --enable Map greek.map I will happy to send those interested a copy of cont-sys.tex. (Thomas prepared this file by modifying cont-sys.rme) Alan ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
