I've noticed that the images included with externalfigure appear at about 95%
of their specified size on a printed page. The example below can be compiled
on contextgarden to replicate the behavior. This problem is nothing new and
has existed for at least a couple of months. Is there something that I'm not
specifying correctly, or it this a bug?

Subject: [NTG-context] mplib
Hi,
as some of you may know, there is an mplib project ..
last week taco and spent quite some time on exploring the integration in
luatex (and therefore mkiv)
experiments with loadiing the format, processing graphics and conversion
to pdf show a throughput of less than 0.001 seconds per graphic; a usual
we did much timing and although experimental, the code is already pretty
okay, just to give an idea:
mkiv lua stats : metapost processing time - 6.834 seconds (loading:
0.014 seconds, execution: 1.474 seconds, n: 15000)
indeed, that's 15K graphics in 7 seconds.
so, the next couple of months i'll start providing an adapted mp
handling mechanisms. among the possible options are
- extensions based on pre/postscripts (instead of specials)
- multiple mp engines (\startuseMPgraphic[metafun]{name} and such)
so, if you have specific wishes ... now is the time to let them know

2) The references in the text are numbered in the order the bibitems are
defined in the bibliography, not the order on which they are cited in the text.
How would I order them according to the order in which they occur in the text?

[NTG-context] escaping filenames with externalfigure
Is there a way to escape special characters in filenames passed to
externalfigure. I'm encountering the situation where users are choosing images
that may contain brackets or curly braces (e.g., flower[1].jpg or
flower{1}.jpg). If I pass filename containing these characters directly to
externalfigure, the closing bracket is mistaken for the end of the filename.
\externalfigure[flower{1}.jpg] % works
\externalfigure[flower[1].jpg] % doesn't work
I then tried to define a variable that holds the filename and pass that
variable to externalfigure, but it ran into problems with curly braces.
\def\myimagefilename{flower[1].jpg}
\externalfigure[\myimagefilename] % works
\def\myimagefilename{flower{1}.jpg}

Re: [NTG-context] escaping filenames with externalfigure
Wolfgang,
Thanks for the suggestion. However, I'm using ConTeXt to typeset arbitrary XML
input from users (and therefore arbitrary image filenames). While your idea
works for the two examples that I gave, it doesn't work if the curly braces
aren't balanced in the filename (e.g., flower{1.jpg). Is there any general
character escaping mechanism for macro arguments?

Yould could define symbolic names for the figures and access the
figures with this name, this allows you also to use bracketrs in the
file names.

[NTG-context] stable new-minimals distribution?
I see on the wiki that there are plans to create a stable, beta, and broken branches of the new minimals distribution on minimals.contextgarden.net.

Attached is the equivalent LaTeX source and the resultant PDF (both gzipped due to ridiculously low 40k email limit). LaTeX appears to float a series of figures placed with the htbp as follows: 1) Try to float the figures on the current page. They can be here, or at the top or bottom of the page. 2) If the figures weren't placed on the current page, finish out the current page with content (see pdf page 1), unlike ConTeXt's force option. Start a new page containing only floats and keep doing so until all floats are flushed. (pages 2-4 of the PDF) 3) Try to place content on what would be the last float page (see page 5 of the PDF). The closest analog that I can see in ConTeXt is the force placement option for floats, which is mean to ensure strict ordering. The main difference is that the LaTeX htbp placement option will fill the remaining vertical whitespace with content before starting a float page.

[NTG-context] LaTeX float pages in ConTeXt
I've been playing around with the float placement options in ConTeXt, but I
could find no way to enable float pages. If you're not familiar with float
pages, here's a quick blurb:
If there are too many floats to fit on a page, LaTeX pushes them on to the
next page, and the next; eventually, floats may end up at the end of the
document. If the [p] option has been provided to individual figures and tables,
they may be pushed together onto a float page that has no text. -
http://mintaka.sdsu.edu/GF/bibliog/latex/floats.html
I'm not interested in using \setupfloat[figure][default=page]. It forces all
figures to a float page with one picture per page. In latex, the behavior that
I desire can be specified with:
\begin{figure}[htbp]
\includegraphics[width=5.0in, height=3.0in]{myfile.jpg}
\caption{Blah}
\end{figure}

Mike

Re: [NTG-context] LaTeX float pages in ConTeXt
Thanks, Aditya. However, I'm don't think that
\setupfloat[figure][default=here,top,bottom,page] addresses my need for float
pages. If you compile the document below, you'll notice that the figures at
the end of the first section are floated throughout sections 2-4. I would like
the rendering of the floats to catch up by placing the floats on float pages,
before moving on to other text. Is this possible in ConTeXt?

[NTG-context] line breaking hints?
Hello, I'm looking for a way to give ConTeXt's line breaking algorithm a hint on where it is allowed to break a line. For example, I want ConTeXt to break lines, if necessary, when it encounters '//' in a string. I don't want to force a line break there, but if context needs to break the line, I want it to be after a //. A contrived example of some input text is: THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPED OVER THE LAZY DOG//NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL GOOD MEN TO COME TO THE AID OF THEIR COUNTRY. When this text is rendered by ConTeXt, and it is too big to fit on a single line, I would like it to break like this: THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPED OVER THE LAZY DOG// NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL GOOD MEN TO COME TO THE AID OF THEIR COUNTRY. I can preprocess the source to change spaces into non-breaking spaces and can replace '//' with anything else that I need to, but don't know how to suggest where to break the line. Also note that I do not want any words to be hyphenated nor broken on hyphens. Does anyone have any ideas on how I might accomplish this?

[NTG-context] TABLE splitting on entry spanning multiple rows
Hello,
I'm using ConTeXt as part of an XML-PDF workflow that is heavy on tables. The
XML table model allows cells to span rows and columns. While ConTeXt has
handled row/column spanning perfectly up to this point, I believe I have found
an issue. When an entry that spans multiple rows is on the split point between
pages, you get ragged entries on the page boundaries. The code below
demonstrates this on live.contextgarden.net (PDFTex):
\starttext
\setupTABLE[row][odd][background=color,backgroundcolor=red, width=.2\textwidth]
\bTABLE[split=yes]
\dorecurse{31}{\bTR \bTD[nc=4] filler \eTD \eTR}
\bTR \bTD[nr=3] 1 \eTD \bTD[nc=2] 2/3 \eTD \bTD[nr=3] 4 \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD 2 \eTD \bTD 3 \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD 2 \eTD \bTD 3 \eTD \eTR

Does anyone have any suggestions for visually cleaning this up?

Hans,
The \synchronizeoutput seemed to fix this trivial example, but it doesn't
seem to fix other illustrations of this behavior. Is the \synchronizeoutput
something that I should place at the end of every block of content (paras,

properly. If not, is there a general workaround for this table issue that I
can apply in the meantime while LuaTeX is still in development? I'm generating
ConTeXt from XSL, so its very easy to make a system wide change of how the

Re: [NTG-context] natural table splitting problems
Thanks Peter for the pointer to the multipage table in the wiki. I don't know
how I overlooked that example. However, I was still able to duplicate the
problem with this sample table by including a page full of text before the
table (see below).
If the dorecurse is set to 62 or 63, the contents slightly overflow the first
page text area and only the first row of the table is rendered on the second
page. If dorecurse on blah is performed 61 or 64 times, the table is rendered
properly.
Any thoughts?

Mike

[NTG-context] natural table splitting problems
The same as in my first reply. Look at the first page with the text
only. There isn't a space behind the sentence(s) and TeX can't break the
paragraph (text expands it's lower border). This also breaks the
splitting of the table, as it is (partly) on the same page.
Peter, all of the information that you've sent me has been very educational,
but I think you may be focusing too much on the approach that I've used to
illustrate the errant table splitting behavior. The example below also
illustrates this behavior and does not extend the text below its lower border
as did the previous example.
This is of course a contrived example -- I unfortunately cannot post a real
example. You can slightly change the layout and the problem will going away
(for this particular document). The problem is that my ConTeXt rendering layer
has to process arbitrary XML input and this very same behavior pops up in
documents regardless of the layout. Making adjustments to the layout, font
size, etc will just change where the problem manifests itself. It is still
possible that I'm doing something wrong, but my gut tells me that it is a bug
in the context natural table splitting code.

[NTG-context] natural table splitting problems
In our XML-ConTeXt-PDF workflow, we've encountered a few intermittent
problems when using split natural tables. I'm not able to post the original
documents in which the problems are manifesting, but below is a document that
reproduces one of the problems. The first page of the document is full of
text, pushing a split natural table with five rows and a header to the top of
the second page. However, only the first row appears on the second page, and
the rest of the table is continued on the third page.
I'm using a stock ConTeXt 9/28 distribution, but this problem can also be
reproduced on live.contextgarden.net.
Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong or help me debug this problem?
These natural table bugs are the only thing stopping us from deploying our
ConTeXt workflow.
Cheers,
Mike Santy

[NTG-context] split table widows/orphans and splitting threshold
Hello, I'm using ConTeXt as part of a XML - PDF workflow for technical documentation. These documents often have large tables, so I am using placetable[split] for table placement. While placetable[split] works as advertised, the output quality often suffers. One of the issues that I've found is that you'll often see a table with one row on a separate page from the rest of the table. Is there any way to control table orphans and widows such that there will never be just one (or some arbitrary number) rows of a table split across a page. Another feature that I think would be useful is the ability to set a split threshold for a table. In my use, tables that are less than 1/3 to 1/2 page should probably be included as a float (i.e., not split), whereas tables larger than this would benefit from being split. Is it possible to add a new placement option for tables that includes a splitting threshold? I would add this as part of my XML-TeX transform, but I don't think the rendering path has enough information to know how large table rows will be when rendered. Any thoughts?

[NTG-context] externalfigure and uppercase extensions
Hans, You asked me to remind you this week to look into problems externalfigures and filenames with uppercase extensions. Have you gotten a chance to look into the problem? Cheers, Mike ___ 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 ___
[NTG-context] externalfigure rotation
Hello,
I'm looking to rotate an externalfigure inside of its bounding box in
increments of 90 deg. Its real easy with 0 and 180, you can just do:
\externalfigure[blah.pdf][width=5.0in, height=2.0in]
\rotate[rotation=180]{\externalfigure[blah.pdf][width=5.0in, height=2.0in]}
Both commands result with an image that is 5.0in wide and 2.0in tall.
But the problem comes when rotating a externalfigure at 90 and 270 degrees (or
more generally, anything besides 0 and 180). The rotation is applied to the
whole bounding box instead of rotating the picture within a bounding box. The
following images will be rendered 2.0in wide and 5.0in tall.
\rotate[rotation=90]{\externalfigure[blah.pdf][width=5.0in, height=2.0in]}
\rotate[rotation=270]{\externalfigure[blah.pdf][width=5.0in, height=2.0in]}
Are there any plans to add support for specify an externalfigure's rotation
within its bounding box, similar to this:
\externalfigure[blah.pdf][width=5.0in, height=2.0in, rotation=90]
Cheers,
Mike

[NTG-context] externalfigure and uppercase extensions
Hello,
I'm using conTeXt as the renderer in a XML workflow and have run into a problem
with externalfigure. When a user chooses to include a PNG, PDF, or JPG image
with an extension that is capitalized (or more generally, not all lower case),
the externalfigure just includes a grey box like it can't find the file. The
snippet below illustrates the problem. Note that I'm able to include the image
by renaming the file to IMG_0103.jpg and changing the externalfigure to the
corresponding filename.
\starttext
\externalfigure[IMG_0103.JPG]
\stoptext
I tried adding type=jpg and/or method=jpg to the externalfigure arguments, but
the file did not compile.
I found that by adding the entry
\definefileinsertion{tpd}{JPG}{\handlepdfimage} to the spec-tpd.tex file in
the context distribution, the externalfigure is able to include this image
correctly. Should the mappings in these files be case insensitive?
I'm sure that I'm missing something basic. Could someone please enlighten me?
Cheers,
Mike Santy
