[NTG-context] Making a verbatim file for another language
I'm going to try to make a 'verbatim- module' (don't know what the right word is) for another language. I've found: /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/base/verb-pl.tex and can probably have a go at making a version of this. Some questions occur: 1: where should i put my file? 2: do I have to do anything else to get Context to recognise and use it? cheers ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

I've found: /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/context/base/verb-pl.tex The syntax of your intended language is indeed similar to perl? There a few definition files already there, and you should start from the one that is closest to the language you want to define (especially wrt comment and string syntax). verb-cC verb-eif Eiffel verb-js JavaScript verb-jv Java verb-mp MetaPost MetaFont verb-pas Pascal Modula verb-pl Perl 5 verb-sql SQL verb-tex TeX verb-xml XML and can probably have a go at making a version of this. Some questions occur: 1: where should i put my file? Possibly the best place is: in the context distribution, but that depends a bit on what language it is, precisely (you can email me the completed file, in that case). Second best place: http://modules.contextgarden.net, so it can be included in cont-ext.zip (third-party addons that are distributed by Pragma-Ade alongside the normal distribution). Third best:The directory $HOME/texmf/tex/context/base (the place where your TeX installation finds local files, I do not immediately recall the name gwTeX uses). Final option: Same directory as the file to be processed 2: do I have to do anything else to get Context to recognise and use it? Your file has to have a name like verb-.tex, with a lowercase short identifier (example: verb-php.tex), and then you have to use one or two commands to make ConTeXt use the file. First: \installprettytype [PHP][PHP] This maps the command \starttyping[option=PHP] to verb-php.tex. The first argument is the option as passed to \starttyping, the second argument is an uppercase version of (thus allowing context to find the file), And you probably also want: \definetyping[PHP] [option=PHP] Because that allows \startPHP ... \stopPHP as a shortcut to \setuptyping[option=PHP] Good luck, Taco ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Re: [NTG-context] Installing Cyrillic font
Hi, Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky wrote: Hello I'm looking for help with installing the Adobe Times font with Cyrillic support. I have TIR_.PFB and all other companion files. It surely contains Cyrillic glyphs because I can type Russian using a font viewer. I run the texfont utility as follows texfont -fontroot=e:/texmf --sourcepath=. --vendor=adobe --encoding=t2a --collection=timescyr --makepath --install and it performs good. But created t2a-adobe-timescyr.pdf test file shows no Cyrillic glyphs (it seems like there are vacant empty spaces from 192 to 255). Also I cannot make use of Russian in my context scripts. (Latin goes well) Assuming your copy of TIR_.PFB really has cyrillic (I am a bit suspicious because mine doesn't, and Adobe's website says that the character set for Times Std is Adobe Western 2, and that charset doesn't contain cyrillic at all. But I could be wrong and/or just confused by the file name): The most likely problem is that you do not have a correct .enc file (the log of the t2a-adobe-timescyr.tex pdftex run would definately help).

Re: [NTG-context] Installing Cyrillic font
Hi Vyatcheslav, (I intercepted your message because it was a bit too big for the list) From Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky [EMAIL PROTECTED]: This is the INF file for my Times-Roman: FontName (Times-Roman) FullName (Times Roman) AppleName (Times) AppleFONDID 20 FamilyName (Times) version (001.007) isFixedPitch false CharacterSet (isoadobe) Encoding (StandardEncoding) ItalicAngle 0 CapHeight 662 UnderlinePosition -100 UnderlineThickness 50 StemWidth 84 Serif true Pi false SuperiorBaseline 270 MSMenuName (Times) VPMenuName (Times Roman) WORDMenuName (Times) VPTypefaceID 14 VPStyle (N) PCFileNamePrefix (TIR__) PCLTypefaceID 20485 PCLStrokeWeight 0 PCLStyle 0 I am sorry to say that this really looks like the INF of the standard Times-Roman font that does not have cyrillic glyphs (and the same was true of your log file). Can you explain to the people on the list how you could successfully use cyrillic, what operating system you are using, and in which previewer exactly? I myself am lost as to what is going wrong exactly, but I find it hard to believe that the previewer is using tir_.pfb, from the information you have provided so far.

[NTG-context] Spacing after defined word: beginner's question
This must be a beginner's question, but I can't find the answer to it
in the manuals...
Take this ConTeXt source:
--
\def\Acme{%
{\ss\sc ACME}}
Welcome from \Acme. \Acme make fine products.
--
When this is made into a PDF, it looks like this:
--
Welcome from ACME. ACMEmake fine products.
--
- because I didn't have a space in the definition, I don't get a
space in the second sentence, but the period didn't interfere with
the execution of the first occurrence. But if I put a space in the
definition after the 'E', I get this:
--
Welcome from ACME . ACME make fine products.
--
- and there's a space after the first 'E', which I don't want, even
though there is now a space after the second...
What am I doing wrong?

You are not doing anything wrong. This is how TeX operates. A macro
with no argument gobbles the spaces after it. One way to ensure that
you get a space is to tell TeX that you are done with the macro, for
example
Welcome from \Acme. \Acme{} makes fine products.
or
Welcome from \Acme. \Acme\ makes fine products.
After a while you get used to adding a \ where you want. There is an
automated way, but it is (and will remain) undocumented. You can
append \autoinsertnextspace at the end of your macro. So, something
like
\def\Acme{{\ss\sc ACME}\autoinsertnextspace}
The reason that this is undocumented is because it makes it harder for
other parsers to parse TeX.
BTW, ConTeXt has a sorting and abbreviation mechanism for the kind
of thing that you are doing. With \definesorting or \abbreviation, you
can also get a list of logos or list of abbreviations free of cost :).
Look up the manual for details. And as a futher incentive, you can use
\setupsorting[logo][next=\autoinsertnextspace]
to get the behaviour you want.

Send me an email when you are done with it. By the way, have you tried to make online tests (sendable by a click) with random order of questions (avoid copying pbs thru neighboors). It's involving javascript (answering in editable fields + feedback + collecting answers when sending, etc. ) and I never succeed in ! The randomizing part is easy (since Hans has already implemented that). See http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20060528.172535.9581c3c3.en.html I have never tried the online part, since I never needed it. There is AcroTeX by D. P. Story. See http://www.acrotex.net/ in particular the examples at http://www.acrotex.net/aeb_index.php?page=examples This shows that this type of things is doable in JavaScript. I have not looked at AcroTeX license, maybe it allows you to copy the javascript code, and you can then try to implement it in ConTeXt.

Hi ???,
TeX ignores spaces after commands. This is now problem when your
command is before an period, comma ...,but it will it up the next space
in a sentence.
You can write you sentence in the following ways:
Welcome from \Acme. \Acme\ make fine products.
Welcome from \Acme. \Acme{} make fine products.
Welcome from \Acme. {\Acme} make fine products.
There is also a predefined command to define and setup your own
abbreviations and syonyms. You can find an example at page 55 in the
beginners manual (ma-cb-en.pdf).
