Re: [NTG-context] issue in Lua syntax formatting

I can reproduce this. As a workaround, you can insert a non-breaking 
space (U+00A0) immediately after the "[[":


Good idea, but I’d like to avoid invisible tweaks.


You can also use the Scite syntax highlighting:

     \usemodule[scite]


Thank you for the reminder!

Since I need it for the CG journal, I wanted to avoid additional 
dependencies, but the scite module is part of the distribution anyway 
and works as a drop-in replacement.

[NTG-context] ugly bug

2022-06-01 Thread Steffen Wolfrum via ntg-context
Hi,

several times I got problems with my publishing house when they noticed that 
the headerlines jump up and down on pages that end/begin with qoutes (i.e. 
smaller interlineskip), see example below: on page 1 the blackrule is about 1mm 
higher than on page 2.

In the past I then used really laborious workarounds to get these single pages 
in the correct way (without jumping)… manual pagebreak, re-define layout etc.

But as the pages are hard to find it would be better that the layout would be 
reliable consistent.

How can this be solved?


Best wishes, Steffen

[NTG-context] Compiling a large metapost document

2022-06-01 Thread Stefan Nedeljkovic via ntg-context
Dear list,

I have a large .tex file with metapost embedded in it and want to compile
it, but it fails. Here is a link to the file (~12MB):
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1t-6mxFmGp-nzpl0RrPgNFq8KRvpplgDv/view?usp=sharing

Do you know of a way to compile it?
BTW, the file is automatically generated by a Python script.

Sincerely,
Stefan

[NTG-context] issue with scite module

2022-06-01 Thread Pablo Rodriguez via ntg-context
Dear list,

I have the following sample:

  \usemodule[scite]
  \starttext
  \startTEXpage[offset=1ex]
  \type[option=xml]{}
  \type[option=xml]{<áñß/>}
  \stopTEXpage
  \stoptext

Using scite, I don’t get the second element right.

Without scite, both elements are displayed right.

In both Geany and Notepad++ (which use Scintilla internally), the two
elements are displayed right.

Could anyone confirm the issue?

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

Hi Stefan,

What exactly are you asking for help with?

The previous file was 12MB and simply ran out of resource when compiled. The 
new file is 812KB and compiles provided you remove the references to 
\setxheight[...] because \setxheight generates an error.

Hi Hraban,

this is exactly what I’m experiencing (and sorry, I forgot to mention
that I was using current latest).

I experienced that without scite and Hans fixed it (in buff-imp-xml.lua).

I mentioned both Geany and Notepad++, because I think it may not be an
issue outside ConTeXt.

But I don’t know which file deals with it (so I could try to submit a
patch).

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

That would be texmf-context/tex/context/modules/mkiv/m-scite.mkiv
and 
texmf-context/context/data/scite/context/lexers/scite-context-lexer-xml.lua

and there probably

local name = (R("az","AZ","09") + S("_-."))^1

Now, I still don’t understand LPEG and don’t know if there’s a general

Dear Thomas,

I'm sorry for all the shortcomings of my question. I'll try to be more
concrete. If you won't download my file, could you at least give me a hint
on how to configure LMTX?

I Tried editing the file context/tex/texmf/web2c/texmfcnf.lua, and running
context --generate, context --make, but the error persists. I'm new to
context and I don't know how to configure this file. Running --usage
reveals in the log that the category "token" is exceeded. I tried the
aforementioned editing of the conf file, but the log stays the same.

Sincerely,
Stefan

Re: [NTG-context] issue with scite module

2022-06-01 Thread Max Chernoff via ntg-context

Now, I still don’t understand LPEG and don’t know if there’s a general
“character” class that doesn’t need a list...


Well looking through the XML spec

https://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#NT-NameChar

you'd think that we'd want a pattern like this:

local name = (R("az","AZ","09", "\u{C0}\u{D6}", "\u{D8}\u{F6}", "\u{F8}\u{2FF}", "\u{370}\u{37D}", "\u{37F}\u{1FFF}", "\u{200C}\u{200D}", 
"\u{2070}\u{218F}", "\u{2C00}\u{2FEF}", "\u{3001}\u{D7FF}", "\u{F900}\u{FDCF}", "\u{FDF0}\u{FFFD}", "\u{1}\u{E}", "\u{0300}\u{036F}", "\u{203F}\u{2040}") + 
S("_-.\u{B7}"))^1

But that doesn't work, since


The same is true for lpeg.R, although the latter will display an error message 
if used
with multibyte characters. Therefore lpeg.R('aä') results in the message bad 
argument #1
to 'R' (range must have two characters), since to lpeg, ä is two ’characters’ 
(bytes), so
aä totals three. (https://texdoc.org/serve/luatex/0##680)


The easiest way that I found was to just cheat and use everything with
a TeX catcode 11 ("letters"):

local name = (R("az","AZ","09") + S("_-.") + 
lpeg.utfchartabletopattern(characters.csletters))^1

This isn't strictly speaking correct, but I think that it's close
enough. It seems to work correctly for Pablo's initial example,
but it may break something else.

For the benefit of others, the error is:

tex memory  > bumping category 'token' failed, details: all=8000 | 
ini=495183 | max=1000 | mem=1000 | min=100 | ptr=10002079 | 
set=1000 | stp=25 | top=1000

I can't see where max token memory is defined to try and increase it. The only 
reference seems to be in ~/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/luat-cod.lmt 
but uncommenting and increasing had no obvious effect.

The question still stands: what do you expect us to do? Hunt for a 
problem through a huge file? What have you done to identify this 
problem? Is there a minimal example?

Re: [NTG-context] Compiling a large metapost document

I have a large .tex file with metapost embedded in it and want to compile
it, but it fails. Do you know of a way to compile it?


Just use plain MetaPost:

diff --git a/belgrade_gm.tex b/belgrade_gm.mp
index 3281754..d536b64 100644
--- a/belgrade_gm.tex
+++ b/belgrade_gm.mp
@@ -1 +1 @@
-\startMPpage
+beginfig(1)
@@ -125187 +125187 @@ drawdot (264.352, 116.362) withpen pencircle scaled 
1.35 withcolor (0.929, 0.110
-\stopMPpage
\ No newline at end of file
+endfig; end;

Then compile with:

mpost belgrade_gm

ps2pdf belgrade_gm.1

Thank you very much Max! It works indeed! One more question. How would I
import the eps file back into MPpage, so I could do trickery with text.

I figured it out. I was wrongly calculating the page size argument for gs.
Thank you very, very much again Max!

Convert the PostScript file into PDF with either "ps2pdf" or 
GhostScript, then you can import the file with "externalfigure":


\startMPpage
draw externalfigure "belgrade_gm.pdf";
draw textext.top("One") shifted (264.352, 116.362);
draw textext.top("Two") shifted (306.821, 186.907);
\stopMPpage

There is one more problem: the pdf generated has incorrect margins. I tried
to manually calculate the size in ps points and run gs directly, but the
results are the same. How can I get an accurate rendering of the page?
