Předmět: Re: [NTG-context] Are nested sections possible?


Hello,

one more thing:

It would be nice to allow mixing:

- \section like commands (or \startsection ... \stopsection)
- AND \startsectionlevel ... \stopsectionlevel.

The main problem is that one may NEED to mix:

- (ancient) source files which use \section (deprecated) style
- with more versatile \start-\stopsectionlevel style in newer source files.

See the test attached - only the case 3 works universally with the 
\start-\stopstructurelevel;
any mixing of sectioning styles doesn't yield a desired result.

Best regards,

Lukas

[NTG-context] command reference not searchable

[Akira Kakuto]

It will be convenient for TeX Live users if i-context.pdf is copied like
$TEXMF/doc/context/documents/general/commands/i-context.pdf

Then one can read it by
texdoc i-context.pdf

Best,
Akira

Hi fellows ConTeXt users,

I think the issue comes from Mac OS X PDF reader installation. On 
Windows, one can pass the following command:
context --extra=setups --overview cont-en.xml which print a PDF file 
(ConTeXt Extra) very searchable.
cont-en.xml is the old reference file (which still exists because it is 
used in manuals), the updated list is in i-context.xml and all sub files 
(i-xxx.xml).

Re: [NTG-context] command reference not searchable

It is searchable on my El Capitan laptop here.  I used the file in the
directory and did not run context to generate it if that's what you did.

[NTG-context] transparent colors

[Meer, Hans van der]

With \definecolor[colorname][r=,g=,b=] one defines a color of name "colorname" 
for use in ConTeXt and in Metapost.
A transparentcolor comes with \definecolor[transparentcolorname][r=,g=,b=,a=,t=]

Problem: how to define a transparent color with 
\definetransparentcolor[#1][#2][#3]{...}. 
To be called for example as 
\definetransparentcolor[transparentcolorname][colorname][0.5] for color 
"colorname" with transparency 0.5.

I tried to do this by intercepting from \definecolor the vales "r=,g=,b=" in a 
macro \colornamergb to be called as \csname..\endcsname for the varying 
colorname and feeding that to a definecolor-variant. However, the parsing of  
r=,g=,b= then goes wrong (\futurelet balking).

Question: is there a direct way to derive a transparent colorvariant from a 
parent one without transparency? The usefulness of this comes from the fact 
that for things like \definecolor[lighthoneydew][r=.894117,g=.95,b=.894117] the 
numbers need not be feed more than once.

Re: [NTG-context] command reference not searchable

[Meer, Hans van der]

Very weird. I haven't the faintest idea why this pdf is not searchable and 
similar ones in the same folder do. 
Checked the permissions but they are the same.
However, I have another document that cannot be searched, the context reference 
manual from 2013 and there seems to be a difference between these two and the 
others.
Those I cannot search have in their properties as PDF producer "Mac OSX 
(version) Quartz PDFContext" (older pdf versions 1.3 and 1.4), the others have 
Luatex as producer (pdf version 1.7).
Therefore, I strongly suspect that the Quartz producer is the culprit, weird as 
it may be.
Is it possible to produce the command reference with Luatex as producer 
excluding the Mac Quartz producer?
It is the only difference I am aware of that matches the behaviour.

You probably need to detail what you try to do. I just plugged into some things 
into the Preview search bar and got hits.

Re: [NTG-context] Setting up TeXworks

[Jean-Pierre Delange]

Hi Thomas,

1. There is no great issue to install ConTeXt Standalone in /usr/local/context; 
it's only a simple advice that I gave to put context in such a directory as 
/home/Document (e.g. : on Linux Ubuntu) in order to make things clear for 
beginners; and you can install it in /opt/context if you want it. I have 
installed CTX in /home/MyComputer/context
, because the whole documentation and files I want to use are near. Under 
Windows, ConTeXt is installed in C:\users\MyComputer\Documents\context. 
As you know, ConTeXt Standalone is a bundle which is self-sufficient (it 
doesn't need any extra-package, except some more fonts). I don't have tried yet 
to work with ConTeXt and Perl/Python, because my goal is to understand ConTeXt 
step by step in order to write a documentation in French (and I am starting 
from the beginning), starting by the easiest way to code a document and ending 
by some project structures.

2. commands like 'context --generate' and 'context --make' , typed after this 
previous one: '. setuptex', allow to build all the trees that you need 
thereafter, including databases. After that, you have to set your environment 
variables (in PATH). If you don't do that, you'll see your Linux system 
complain with such enigmatic formulas as 'ConTeXt is not installed', or 'mtxrun 
is not installed. You can installed it with apt-get install mtxrun', etc.

[NTG-context] writebetweenlist bug?

[massifr]

Hello list,
I'm experimenting with the table of contents and I found a strange behaviour of 
writebetweenlist.
Try this:

\setuphead[chapter][number=no]

\starttext

\placecontent

\chapter{chapter 1}
\chapter{chapter 2}
\writebetweenlist[chapter]{\blank Why am I not between chapter 2 and chapter 3?}
\chapter{chapter 3}
\chapter{chapter 4}

\stoptext

I exptected the text of \writebetweenlist to fall between chapters 2 and 3, but 
it falls between chapters 1 and 2.
Is that right or is it a bug?

Best greetings,
Massi

Re: [NTG-context] Setting up TeXworks

[Thomas Fehige]

Thanks Jean-Pierre, and no, you're not carrying owls to Athens, in 
whatever language. ;) I'm very new to ConTeXt and not all that 
experienced in the Linux world either. My French is honed on cooking 
recipes rather than computing and coding, but I was able to follow your 
page allright.


1. I don't have my standalone ConTeXt tree anywhere under /home/... but 
in /usr/local/context/..., as suggested on the wiki. Would that make a 
difference?


2. What do "--generate" and "--make" do? I remember having run them at 
one occasion or other, but to no avail as to the TeXworks problem. 
Shouldn't they be run by the installation script anyway?


I had managed the fonts database stuff, thanks to the wiki and some 
trial and error. It was time I learned about environment variables in 
Linux and Xfce anyway.

Objet: Re: [NTG-context] Setting up TeXworks

Whew, I've got it running, finally.

For some reason, TeXworks needs to tell mtxrun explicitly where its
texmf-tree is located. Meaning, an additional argument is required in
TeXworks's starter setup, which now looks like this:

name: ConTeXt MkIV
command: mtxrun
arguments:
  --tree=/usr/local/context/tex<-- this is the one!
  --autogenerate
  --script
  context
  $fullname

In the "Paths to TeX and friends" list I have

  /usr/local/context/texmf-linux-64

[NTG-context] command reference not searchable

[Meer, Hans van der]

The command reference in file i-context.pdf is highly useful, but that document 
is not searchable, neither with Preview nor Adobe Reader. Files luatex.pdf, 
xml-mkiv.pdf for example are searchable. It would be nice if the command 
reference can be searched too, because for now looking up a command needs a lot 
of page skipping. Can this be done? I would very much appreciate it.

[NTG-context] MacOsX OSFONTDIR environment variable

I took the liberty to look again into this matter because the above advice does 
not what I should expect it does: ignoring the MacOSX font directories.
This is what I found in various experiments, OSFONTDIR not defined in the 
environment.

(1) I guess the name of the cnf file should be texmfcnf.lua not texmf.cnf.lua 
because a file with the latter name has no effect, the MACOSX font directories 
still appear in the log.
(2) That file in texmf.local does nothing because again the MacOSX font 
directories are still in the log, but there is a reference to a file of that 
name:
mkiv lua stats  > used config file: selfautoparent:/texmf/web2c/texmfcnf.lua
(3) Moving texmfcnf.lua to a directory /texmf.local/web2c/ is desastrous, the 
log tells me:
resolvers   | trees | analyzing '/Users/hansm/Documents/TeX/texmf'
mtxrun  | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua'

Questions therefore:
- is the name texmfcnf.lua indeed?
- what should be its location in texmf.local? 
  (texmf/web2c doesn't exist on my system because I restrict myself to the beta)
- is the content of texmfcnf.lua as given above complete?

Referring to a dummy font directory in OSFONTDIR still seems the most viable 
option. Is that correct?

Re: [NTG-context] Setting up TeXworks

Using --tree is quite ok for this. Maybe TeXworks sets some

Well, it isn't normal, apparently. I remember I tried that at some 
stage, but it didn't work. The problem was not finding mtxrun and 
starting it, but rather that mtxrun, once started, couldn't find some of 
its config files.

Re: [NTG-context] Alignment/line break in a TABLE cell

[Mari Voipio]

Thanks, Wolfgang!

\symbol[square] doesn't work for me, because the inside of the box has
to be white also when on gray background, i.e. I need a box filled
with white. I decided to do what I should've done in the first place
and brushed up enough of my MetaPost that I could create a box with
black outline and white fill (OK, I pinched most of it from the
MetaFun manual...). This seems to work:

\startuseMPgraphic{box3mm_filled}
pickup pencircle scaled .02cm ;
path p ; p := unitsquare scaled 3mm ;
fill p withcolor white ;
draw p withcolor black ;
\stopuseMPgraphic

\definesymbol[box3mm][{\useMPgraphic{box3mm_filled}}]

\starttext

\dontleavehmode\symbol[box3mm] 1

\stoptext


Thank you for your speedy replies!

Mari

This kind of works. The box and the number are now on the same line,
but one of them - the number, I think - is offset and that looks
funny. Is there a trick that'd fix that?
1. Lower your graphic because it has margins around the lines which 
positions it too high.


\definesymbol[box3mm][{\offset[y=.25ex]{\externalfigure[box3mm]}}]

\starttext

\dontleavehmode\symbol[box3mm] 1

\stoptext



2. Use a box symbol which sits lower on the baseline.

\starttext

\dontleavehmode\symbol[square] 1

\stoptext


3. Use metapost to create your own box.

\startuseMPgraphic{box3mm}
draw unitsquare scaled 3mm ;
\stopuseMPgraphic

\definesymbol[box3mm][{\useMPgraphic{box3mm}}]

\starttext

\dontleavehmode\symbol[box3mm] 1

\stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] Alignment/line break in a TABLE cell

Hi,

I have a little problem with a table. It works fine otherwise, but in
the first column the box and the number should be on the same line.
This goes right with 3a, but all the other ones place the box on the
first line and the number on the second. Widening column 1 doesn't
help. How do I force the number to stay on the same line with the box?

Put \dontleavehmode before \externalfigure, e.g.

\dontleavehmode\externalfigure[box3mm]

and in case the number is still moved to the next line because there 
isn’t enough space left you can put an unbrakbale space between the 
graphic and number, e.g.


\dontleavehmode\externalfigure[box3mm]~1

Wolfgang
