Re: [NTG-context] mkii broken in latest beta?

2011-01-22 Thread Otared Kavian

Hi Thomas and Hans,

On OS X I experience the same thing, even after adding a \doothing as hans 
suggests (well, this indeed does… nothing… :-) ).
A strange behaviour I notice also with mkii is that it creates a dvi file:

Output written on basic-test.dvi (1 page, 1132 bytes). 
Transcript written on basic-test.log. 

As a matter of fact opening this dvi file with another application, one sees 
the correct output, but no PDF is created with mkii. Please see below the 
minimal example and the dvi file.

Best regards: OK
PS: The minimal example I tested is:
%%% begin basic.test.tex
\starttext
\chapter{Testing a chapter\footnote{Actually for testing footnotes in a chapter 
header\dots}}

This file has been typeset 
on \currentdate{} 
at \currenttime, 
with 
\doifmodeelse{mkiv}
{mkiv, 
LuaTeX version \the\luatexversion,
LuaTeX revision \luatexrevision,
(LuaTeX date stamp \luatexdatestamp),
using the command: \crlf
\type{context basic-test.tex}\crlf}
{mkii, 
using the command: \crlf
\type{texexec basic-test.tex} \crlf}
ConTeXt version \contextversion.

\stoptext
%%% end basic-test.tex
And the dvi produced is:


basic-test.dvi
Description: Binary data

Thank you very much, Wolfgang. Your example showed me the little devil
that spoiled it:
I had: \setupfootnotes[location=text]. Changing it to
\setupfootnotes[location=none] solved the problem.

[NTG-context] Request for delimited texts

2011-01-22 Thread Andreas Harder

Hi all,

is it possible to extend the delimited texts implementation in such a way that 
the environment would accept optional arguments. What I have in mind is 
something like this:

\setupdelimitedtext
  [quotation]
  [% author=Default Author,
   right=”\wordright{\delimitedtextparameter{author}}]

\starttext  \showframe
  \startquotation% [author=Some Author]
\dorecurse{50}{text }
  \stopquotation
  \startquotation% [author=Another Author]
\dorecurse{50}{text }
  \stopquotation
\stoptext

Greeting
Andreas

Re: [NTG-context] Labels in MetaPost (MetaObj)

2011-01-22 Thread Stefan Müller

So its either using text or using metaobj? Too bad, metaobj is quite 
fun... I still hope you guys can fix this, but it's not urgent (to me).


Just as a wild guess I tested the example below today, trying to make 
use of the things Aditya said, but to no avail. Anyway, what does the 
[+] after \startMPinclusions? I did not find documentation for that on 
the wiki.


Best regards,
Stefan.

\startMPinclusions
input metaobj;
boolean flag; flag := false;
\stopMPinclusions

\starttext
\startMPpage
vardef newSegment@\#=
assignObj(@\#,Segment);

Hi list,

I'm having some trouble with MetaPost in general and MetaObj in
particular.


The core problem is that context mkiv loads the metapost code twice
when you are typesetting labels, and that causes trouble for metaobj
which does not expect that. Sorry, I do not know of any solution.
Maybe Hans does?


not immediately


A suggestion: Currently, ConTeXt does not clear the state of mplib at
the end of each graphic. For example

\starttext
\startMPcode
path p;
p := fullcircle scaled 4cm ;
\stopMPcode

\startMPcode
draw p ;
\stopMPcode
\stoptext

draws a circle. I am not convinced that this is useful. Resetting the
state of
mplib after each graphic might be better. Then, after the first run, you
could
just set the value of mptopdf.texts[..], reset the state of mplib, and
then draw
the graphic in the second run.

This approach will have less surprises. For example, in simpleslides
module, we
provide a mechanism for highlighting a part of a picture using arrows.
These
arrows are thick (typically 5bp). In order to scale the arrows
correctly, we
set:

autoarrows := true ;

However, in the current implementation, this effect is global. It took a
while
to realize that this messed up all the figures with arrows that I was
drawing in
a presentation (where autoarrows := false) is better.

Not resetting the mplib state also has advantages. For example, it
allows an
easy way to do something on the second path (trivial example, but there are
cases when something like this makes the code much shorter):

\startMPinclusions[+]
newboolean flag ;
flag := false ;
\stopMPinclusions

\starttext
\startMPpage
if flag :
fill boundary withcolor 0.5[blue,white] ;
else :
path boundary ;
fi ;

path A, B;

A := fullsquare scaled 3cm ;
B := fullsquare scaled 3cm shifted (5cm,0) ;

fill A withcolor white ;
fill B withcolor white ;

draw A ; draw btex A etex ;
draw B ; draw btex B etex shifted (5cm,0) ;

boundary := (boundingbox currentpicture) enlarged 3mm ;

flag := true ;

\stopMPpage
\stoptext

So, perhaps, we can have a `reset` key to \defineMPinstance, and let the
user
choose whether to reset after each graphic or not. If `reset=yes` is
chosen,
then such errors would not occur.

Aditya

[NTG-context] Problem with ownnumber

2011-01-22 Thread Achim Jander


Hi all,
I want to have my headings numbered via ownnumber, and they sometimes 
should include a dot.
Everything works fine except when the ownnumber is numeric. In that case 
the dot is omitted, can anyone show my my fault?


\definehead [chapter] [section=section-2, sectionsegments=2:100]
\setuphead[chapter][ownnumber=yes, headaling=flushleft,distance=0.5em]

\definehead [section] [section=section-3, sectionsegments=3:100]
\setuphead[section][ownnumber=yes, headaling=flushleft,distance=0.5em]


\starttext
\startchapter[ownnumber=I., title={chapterhead}] % the dot is kept
text\par
\startsection[ownnumber=1.,  title={sectionhead}] % no dot at all
text\par
\stopsection
\stopchapter
\stoptext

Thanks,
Achim

\startMPinclusions

will fail, because the second inclusions overwrites the first. If you use

Just as a wild guess I tested the example below today, trying to make use of

The trick is to ensure that the offending code (assignObj) is not run

  vardef newSegment@\#=

Can this also be added to page-lay.mkii. Will make it much easier to

Thus, I came to the conclusion that the designer of a new
system must not only be the implementer and first
large-scale user; the designer should also write the first
user manual.

The separation of any of these four components would have
hurt \TeX\ significantly. If I had not participated fully in
all these activities, literally hundreds of improvements
would never have been made, because I would never have
thought of them or perceived why they were important.

But a system cannot be successful if it is too strongly
influenced by a single person. Once the initial design is
complete and fairly robust, the real test begins as people
with many different viewpoints undertake their own
experiments. 

\startannotation {Peter D. Ward}
The Earth, as a habitat for animal life, is in old age and
has a fatal illness. Several, in fact. It would be happening
whether humans had ever evolved or not. But our presence is
like the effect of an old-age patient who smokes many packs
of cigarettes per day – and we humans are the cigarettes.

We thrive in information-thick worlds because of our
marvelous and everyday capacity to select, edit,

harmonize, synthesize, focus, organize, condense,
reduce, boil down, choose, categorize, catalog, classify,
list, abstract, scan, look into, idealize, isolate,
discriminate, distinguish, screen, pigeonhole, pick over,
sort, integrate, blend, inspect, filter, lump, skip,
smooth, chunk, average, approximate, cluster, aggregate,
outline, summarize, itemize, review, dip into,
flip through, browse, glance into, leaf through, skim,
refine, enumerate, glean, synopsize, winnow the wheat
from the chaff and separate the sheep from the goats.
