[NTG-context] doifempty
Hi all,
after I defined
\def\VariA{}
\def\VariB{with Text}
\doifemptyelse{\VariA}{empty}{not empty}\crlf
\doifemptyelse{\VariB}{empty}{not empty}
both results are not empty!
what do I wrong?
thanks for help

Re: [NTG-context] Problem with external graphics
The Wizard a écrit :
I also tried the answer offered by Renaud,
\placefigure[here]{none}{\externalfigure[Figure1]}, which results in
no figure at all.
adapt Figure1 - Figure 1 according to your useexternalfigure declaration...
\placefigure[here]{none}{\externalfigure[Figure1]
An example from a document of mine:
\useexternalfigure[largeur][nofile][width=.5\textwidth]
\useexternalfigure[slime][src/images/slime][largeur]
\placefigure[here][fig:ssrI]{Robot \SSR-I ({\sc
Hirose})}{\externalfigure[slime]}
Cheers,

Re: [NTG-context] modules
Hello Nikolai, I don't have a login, that I know about, so I created a new one. My username is now, so if you could give the user now ownership of the BNF grammar module, that'd be great. Done. If you have any more questions, just ask me. Sorry for the delay: I was offline for a few days.

[NTG-context] how to figure out the number of elements inside \defineconversion?
Hello,
I would like to \defineconversion and the use that set of symbols
inside a metapost graphic. But I need to know the number of symbols,
so that I can define enough metapost images with symbols in advance.
I realise that there might be a problem since conversion can sometimes
take an arbitrary number (using a command defined elsewhere), but if I
could have a reasonable guess for conversions defined explicitely,
that would already help a lot. (As a workaround and/or if there is no
easy method to figure that out I can still hardcode 25 and wait
until someone complains that that is not enough to satisfy his/her
needs.)
Thanks a lot,
Mojca

[NTG-context] the closing bracket (structuring syntax)
Hi, in XML and alike there is a concept of dedicated start/stop in formatting: begin heading ... end heading begin footnote ... end footnote begin italic ... end italic But in ConTeXt/TeX we have always the same closing syntax }. That makes reading the code not easier. Is there a workaround to define the closing more precisely (like the examples above), so that finding a } in a ConTeXt source lets me distinguish what it's about?

You can always define your own startstop.
\definestartstop[italic][before={\bgroup \it},after={\egroup}]
and then do
\startitalic
This is italic
\stopitalic
When a command takes an optional agrument, you can do use something like
this
\def\startfootnote%
{\unskip\dosingleempty\dostartfootnote}
\def\dostartfootnote[#1]#2\stopfootnote%
{\footnote[#1]{#2}}
You can make such definitions of all your frequently used environments
(or, if you prefer, write in XML and let ConTeXt handle XML).
Is there a workaround to define the closing more precisely (like the
examples above),
so that finding a } in a ConTeXt source lets me distinguish what
it's about?
There are \bgroup...\egroup which is same as {...} for all practical
purposes.
