[NTG-context] buffers (append)

[NTG-context] index: distinguish entries by pagestyle
Hi there,
I got a question considering the registers. I'd like to distinguish between the
definition of some term and its appearance/use somewhere else (boldface vs.
normal font of page number for instance). The garden provides a solution, which
does not seem to work for me:
%%%
\setupregister[index][nb][pagestyle=bold]
\starttext
My \index[nb::dog]{dog}dog is a cat\index{cat}.
\placeindex
\stoptext
%%%
(modified from http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Registers).
What I'd like to have is, that dog appears with a bold page number and that cat
doesn't.

[NTG-context] Any ConTeXt-Lua changes
Hi,
I wrote Lua routines a while back that parse a string representation of a
weekly schedule to create a table representation of the schedule. It worked
last fall. Certainly in August, 2012 and I think at least as late October. I
just tried it again, but it failed; and it failed on the same file it worked on
before.
Before I roll up my sleeves and starting digging through the code, I was
wondering if something had changed in the last two or three months that I
should know about. No MWE for you, but here's the ConTeXt command that sends
an ID (#1) and a parameters (#2) to Lua
\def\defineschedule{\dodoubleempty\dodefineschedule}
\def\dodefineschedule[#1][#2]{\ctxlua{userdata.schedule.new(#1,#2)}}
Thanks for any tips,
Michael

Re: [NTG-context] Any ConTeXt-Lua changes
The error is basically that a variable is 'nil'. I figure it's my job to track
down why -- the code is long and boring and sometimes complicated. I just
thought if there's been some change in how parameters are passed or strings
handled. A typical use would be
\defineschedule[test][sched={M--Th 8.05a--9:20,1:45--2:30}]
The 'sched' is parsed to {day, interval = {start, stop}} pairs and stored in a
table. It seems the interval table is nil now, but it used to work. Here's
the actual error:
! LuaTeX error [string \directlua ]:529: attempt to index field '?' (a nil
value)
stack traceback:
[string \directlua ]:529: in function 'dotablerow'
[string \directlua ]:658: in function 'tablefromschedule'
[string \directlua ]:1: in main chunk.
system tex error on line 58 in file Syllabus112.tex: LuaTeX error
…
I thought something must have changed, since nothing has changed in the
syllabus file or the module file, since a couple of months ago. If nothing
occurs to anyone, I'll just have to trace it down. Thanks in any case, whether
you can think of something or not.

Re: [NTG-context] ntg-context Digest, Vol 103, Issue 37
Thank you, Sietse,
That works a treat. And thank you for your idea of looking at the source code.
I should do that more often to ease myself into understanding TeX a bit better.
At the moment I still look at myself as a user.

Hi Malte,
This mail contains (1) an answer to your question; (2) a minimal
working example; (3) an explanation of how I found this out (I had
never heard of inoutermargin before).
(1) An answer to your question.
I grepped the ConTeXt source code for `inoutermargin`, and found out
it is an instance of the `margindata` class. This is its setup
command:
\setupmargindata[inoutermargin][style=bold,color=red]
(2) A minimal working example. It is nice to include an MWE when you
ask a question -- it makes things easier for people who want to try to
answer the question, because they don't have to think up their own
example. Anyway, I'm including this one for the benefit of people who
stumble across this e-mail from the future, and want to play with
\inoutermargin. :-)
\setuppapersize[A8,landscape] % w x h is about 7.5x5
\setuplayout[
backspace=1cm,
width=3cm,
%
leftmargin=0.5cm,
leftmargindistance=2mm,
%
rightmargin=2cm,
rightmargindistance=2mm]
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]

\page[yes]
\stopbuffer
\setupmargindata
[inoutermargin]
[style=bold,color=red]
\starttext
\getbuffer
\getbuffer
\getbuffer
\stoptext
(3) How I found the answer
Whenever I want to learn about a command I don't know yet, I grep for
it in the source code. (I ignore bits like 'setup' or 'start'.) I've
even got a shell command for it, to make searching the source as easy
as possible:
function grepcon {
cd /opt/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/
grep -R $* *
}
`grepcon inoutermargin` gave me two hits in mkii files, and one in
typo-mar.mkiv:
\definemargindata[inoutermargin][\v!outer][...various style
setups...]. That set me on the right track. If you frequently need to
work out how commands work, I cannot recommend enough that you make
your own source-searching function and use it enough. For me, at
least, it's enormously helpful.
Cheers,
Sietse
