Re: [NTG-context] \startMPcode and \startMPpage
Dear Hans,
Thank you for the reply.
Since \startMPcode … \stopMPcode form is used in the manual, I think that it
is OK to use it for all cases.
Thank you again.
Best regards,
Dalyoung

[NTG-context] filtering pages from /PrintPageRange
Dear list,
this is a new experience deep inside LuaMetaTeX (for me).
I need to compose a new document from selected pages (which are marked
automatically and stored in /PrintPageRange) in a PDF document
containing 1000 pages.
It has to be one of the worst coding snippets ever written, but it
works. It reads the array from /PrintPageRange, deploying it in
context.filterpages.
\startluacode
function document.printrange_from_file(filename)
range_array =
pdfe.open(filename).Catalog.ViewerPreferences.PrintPageRange
for i=1,#range_array do
file_page = range_array[i]
if file_pagerange == nil then
file_pagerange = file_page
else
file_pagerange = file_pagerange .. " " .. file_page
end
end
for str in file_pagerange:gmatch("([^%s]+)") do
add_one = str + 1
if right_range == nil then
right_range = add_one
else
right_range = right_range .. " " .. add_one
end
end
spaces_in_pagerange = right_range:find(' ')
local _, spaces_in_pagerange = right_range:gsub(" ", "")
for actualspace=1,spaces_in_pagerange do
if (actualspace % 2 == 0) then
right_range = right_range:gsub(' ',',', 1)
else
right_range = right_range:gsub(' ',':', 1)
end
end
context.filterpages( { filename }, { right_range },
{ width = Opt } )
end
\stopluacode
\def\filterfrompagerange[#1]{%
\ctxlua{document.printrange_from_file("#1")}}
\setuplayout[page]
\setupinteractionscreen[option={portrait, paper}]
\starttext
\filterfrompagerange[huge-book.pdf]
\stoptext
I copied and adapted all from Stackoverflow snippets.
It is useful for me, since it file will be changing, page marking is
automatic and filtering marked pages will be automatic too.
But I wonder whether this may be useful to others. I wonder whether it
makes sense to add it to the wiki.
Let me know what you think about

This works just perfect, thank you very much.
I now have template.tex and process it with
context --batch --result=doc-0042 --someparam=21a --once template
which generates precisely the desired doc-0042.pdf.
For the moment I'm simply using a combination of
\doifdocumentargument {someparam} {\getdocumentargument{someparam}}
from TeX and
environment.arguments
from within the lua code as suggested by Taco and you in the previous
email thread.
Where would be the best way to document this / under what wiki topic,
as I'm sure I'll need it again and forget until then unless I write it
down immediately? "Mail merge"? ;)
Thank you very much,
Mojca

A relatively simple way is to use a templating system such as jinja2 and iterate over a mkiv template. Calling context with subprocess and you got the result.

If you want to go this route (and you may have to if not each record fits exactly within a single page), browse back a day or so in the mailing list archive for Gerben’s question about “Using command line values in a TeX document; writing a script?" The replies offer various options using either lua or tex code to get at user-supplied arguments from the commandline.

[NTG-context] Best way to create a large number of documents from database
Hi, I have been asked to create a few thousand PDF documents from a CSV "database" today (which I can easily transform into any other form, like XML or a lua table or TeX definitions or whatever). Generating a few thousand pages would be straightforward, but I'm sure there are some clever ways to handle this scenario as well, I'm just not aware of them :) One option is that I quickly draft a python script that creates a few thousand TeX documents and compiles them individually, but it might be easier if there was a way to just create a single template document and then run something like context --some-params --N=42 --output=document-0042.pdf template.tex or something along those lines. What's the best approach with the existing functionality? I would be more than grateful for any hints.

Yeah, as always, the output is only as good as the input. That's partly why I use pandoc (twice, actually.) In a first run, I produce a normalized markdown file, where such idiosyncrasies are removed. There, I then add additional formatting. In the second run I can then produce the XML. We need the XML to produce a nice web view using the Lens Viewer. And also, with pandoc it's much easier to produce XML than ConTeXt.

Perhaps more examples? Even LaTeX is a niche; there are not enough users of ConTeXt for it to look reliable, I guess. You can’t really use it without involving yourself in the community. And while I generally love working with ConTeXt, I’m cursing it often enough for unexpected/undocumented behaviour, unfinished features and scattered documentation. My book is intended to fix the latter, but there’s no progress – I got too many different projects and severe limitations of working capacity. And children at home...
