Re: [NTG-context] Is there anything like developer's manual for ConTeXt?
Yes, there are may fruitful pages in ConTeXt wiki. But all wiki resources have the same problem: If you know what you are looking for, it's helpful. If not, it would be a time hole. And I was told that MkIV progresses so fast that many things in the current manuals are out of date. I don't know which manual I should stick with. To make thing worse, there are so many places containing ConTeXt tutorials and manuals(see the following list). - wiki.contextgarden.net - http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextman/ - http://context.aanhet.net/svn/contextman/ - http://www.pragma-ade.com/dir?path= Those materials are scattered, overlapped and not complete. It makes new users, like me, don't know what to read. If all those materials are put in only one place and companying with two and only two complete manuals, one for developer and one for user, it would be time saving for both users and developers.

Interesting trick, thanks. But the problem is that references then
ignore the dot. So \in[ref] gives me only 1 instead of 1.. Also,
it's non-recursive (but that is not so problematic). Redefining the

I was often tempted to do that (in some less fancy way than with

In the book for children, the pinyin always show above the Chinese
like the picture I upload.
A solution like can be easy integrated in a ruby command because
you need only a command parameter for the ruby text,
e.g. \setupruby[command=\pinyin] but you're looking for something
like the translate module.
In fact, 2 features I need,
1. the easy way to support PinYin, both input and the format, As I
mentioned, I hope the pinyin can be placed over the Chinese
character it represented automatically with some environment or
so.
2. automatic convert/add pinyin to Chinese Character , now I use
sed to make, but I still hope there are some more easy way.
To make it show correctly is an good start, but if there are some
tools to automatic add PinYin , it will be more attractive. In Chinese
they do have the character which have multi pronunciation, but most of
them only has single pronunciation, I can try to find out some dict to
translate Chinese Character into PinYin if anyone can help integrate
this convert tool into context.
If you can provide such a list Hans can add the information to char-

for the moment you have to rely on my \pinyin command, I have now
written

[NTG-context] font switching questions
Ahoi,
Following a previous discussion, I've been advised to try to avoid
\switchtobodyfont and use \definedfont or \definefont instead.
(1) What's the difference between \definefont and \definedfont ?
(2) In the underneath example...
(2a) how to implement \define(d)font for font switching ?
(2b) how to define \myFontHook ?
Thanks,

Re: [NTG-context] font switching questions

Ahoi,
Following a previous discussion, I've been advised to try to avoid
\switchtobodyfont and use \definedfont or \definefont instead.
what is better depends on the situation
- for a structured document using \switchtobodyfont is ok
- for special layout elements (headers, title pages, keywords)
\definefont might be handier (esp when funny sizes are used)
- when using \definefont it can be handy to use the symbolic names
(Serif, SansBold etc) and sizes (sa 1.2) because that makes redefinition
easier
(1) What's the difference between \definefont and \definedfont ?
\definefont defines a macro that represents a font, and \definedfont
just switches to a font (the forst one is more efficient when you switch
often)
(2) In the underneath example...
(2a) how to implement \define(d)font for font switching ?
(2b) how to define \myFontHook ?
Thanks,
Alan
\usemodule[t-lettrine]
\usetypescriptfile[tps_arial]
\usetypescript[arial]
... just look how gyre typefaces are defined
\setupbodyfont[myFont,\myFontSize]
just \setupbodyfont[myFont,12pt]
and an occasional \definefont[BigFont][SerifBold sa 3.5] which gives you
\BigFont
\setuphead[chapter][style={\switchtobodyfont[myOtherFont,\myOtherFontSize]}]
it depends on what can occur in a title, if there's math and monospaced
and whatever being used mixed, then best use a typeface (apart from the
one time definition it's quite fast to switch a typeface)

\setuplabeltext [pl] [section={{},{.}}]
Hello Aditya,
Interesting trick, thanks. But the problem is that references then
ignore the dot. So \in[ref] gives me only 1 instead of 1.. Also,
it's non-recursive (but that is not so problematic). Redefining the
numbercommand seems to work a tiny bit better for me, but I would
prefer to have a better automatic solution based on the chosen
language (so that 1.1.. will start appearing in my old documents :)
:) :) :)
Let's hope the stopper key for \setuphead will work in MkIV.
Language depends settings are possible with start/stoplanguagespecifics
but it's broken :-(
\startlanguagespecifics[sl]
\setuphead
[chapter,section,subsection]
[numbercommand=\groupedcommand{}{.}]
\stoplanguagespecifics
Hello Wolfgang,
I was often tempted to do that (in some less fancy way than with
groupedcommand :) by default ... but maybe some user wants
\setuphead[section][numbercommand=\xxx] \def\xxx#1{\framed{#1}}
or whatever else and that would interfere with the existing
numbercommand= that's specific to one language. Proper support for
stopper would be much better.
mkiv (xp) has much more control over conversion, separators, stoppers as
well as control over each of them with respect to typesetting; also, it
can be different for all places where numbers are used; of course this
comes at a price ... the more one can tune, the more complex things get

[NTG-context] Step wise presentation.
Currently what is the best solution for presentation with steps in Context that works with the stable version of MKIV. The one that you can get with ./first-setup.sh --context=current If I need to install any addon module for your recommendation (i.e., if it does not come with minimals), kindly let me know.

[NTG-context] TeXshop instructions on Context Minimals (Mac installation)
Hello, I installed the stable version of Context Minimals and then followed the instructions given on the Context Minimals/Mac Installation page. When I choose ConTeXt-MKIV as my engine and try to typeset the document I get the following error. Users/Name/Library/TeXShop/Engines/ConTeXt-MKIV.engine does not have the executable bit set. This is when only pdftex is selected in the dropdown Typeset menu. It is true that the instructions on Context Minimals/Mac Installation page say that Context should also be selected in this dropdown Typeset menu. But if I try to do that, the engine automatically switches to Context that existed in the Engines menu, before I installed Minimals and before I added Context-MKII and ConTeXt-MKIV engines. This ConTeXt engine is MKII. Can someone please help with this? Thanks. ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
