Re: [NTG-context] Windows Installer for MsWinContext
Hi, On Sun, 16 Sep 2007 14:41:16 -0600, Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, I'm back with my idea of installer for mswincontext distribution. I successfully use my local (post-install) version , which simply sets env. vars, but I feel there is need for more. Anticipating new mswincontext build, I can implement the installer for it using free Inno Setup software. Good project! The controversy is about setup file content. I see it as whole mswincontext, because it is declared as minimal distribution (so, nothing can be thrown away). However, I was suggested on this list to make some parts downloadable on demand, so I need to ask: what parts to make? I believe you should just support the whole mswincontext, and install it in C:\ConTeXt etc. Please do not use C:\Program Files ;-) Perhaps the docs should be an install option, as they are quite huge. Some things like the complete TeX-Gyre font suite need to be added to mswincontext or given as an option. There are other modules as well that might make good options for the installer. In general, I believe that if classical Windows installer for ConTeXt were available, it would gain more popularity and appreciation. A true stand-alone ConTeXt has been a goal I have pushed for a number of years now, and from what I understand Hans has heading more and more in that direction. Of course, I'd like to hear from Hans and Taco what they think about it, and whether they dare to facilitate this. My only real question is how to also support a minimal LaTeX distribution side-by-side. I hardly use it, but many of us still have legacy documents we need to process now and then. Maybe we can take the LaTeX portion of XemTeX and make it an install option as well. A couple years back I actually dumped the XemTeX LaTeX files into my C:\ConTeXt\tex\texmf tree and it worked (and mswincontext is closer to fpTeX/Fabrice's way than to the MiKTeX way AKAIK). Since ConTeXt always uses \texmf-local there was no conflict. OTOH there may be other issues... maybe a dedicated \texmf-latex tree branch is called for...

There is a workaround; play with

[NTG-context] \quotation
Dear gang,
This has bugged me for years but I never said anything since the
workaround is so easy. OTOH I am working on something I'd like to share
with others and an official solution would be better:
\starttext
\input knuth
\startquotation
\input knuth
\stopquotation
\input knuth
\stoptext
I. \start-\stopquotation surrounds the block quote in double-quotes marks.
I don't know about other European languages but in English this is
redundant; I've hardly ever seen block quotes use dbl-quote marks.
We at least need a setup option to turn this off.
II. There should be some default whitespace between the block quote and
the surrounding text, just as \start-stopitemize has. Or at least this
should be configurable in the setups.
If these two are already there (not in the manual) then please let us know
how to set this up. Otherwise could you add configuration options for this?
FYI: Here is what I use
===
\definestartstop
[quote]
[before={\startnarrower[2*left,2*right]\blank[big]\noindenting},
after={\stopnarrower\blank[big]}]

[NTG-context] ConTeXt Package for Notepad++ v. 4.5
Dear cabal, I have uploaded an updated version of the ConTeXt-support package for Notepad++ (Npp): http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Image:Npp_ConTeXt.zip For details, see the Readme as well as http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20070813.050137.7a5796f0.en.html There are lots of small improvements. One nice feature is that from any text selection (such as a control sequence) you may do a ConTeXt Wiki search from the RUN menu or ALT-F2. In addition there is Google and Wikipedia search. Also, I have included the wonderful Explorer plugin. Most of the Scite ConTeXt commands are included (same shortcuts), in both RUN and script versions (for the console F6). Npp is one of the most powerful and useful text editors around. For windows users (you can also use it under wine) wanting a more modern interface with loads of included features (see especially the TextFX menu), it deserves a close look. I hope that someone will wikify this under the Text-Editor page. Enjoy!

Hi, I uploaded a new package just now; just a couple of minor tweaks. On Thu, 01 Nov 2007 15:21:25 -0600, Joel C.

I'm trying to make it work with my np++ installation without losing my tweaks configurations, so I've been manually merging config files rather than copying—but I seem not to have access to a few features. I understand, though in my experience it's quite error prone... In your kind of case I usually backup my C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Notepad++ directory and just start fresh. Actually, all I can tell is that I have ConTeXt-aware syntax highlighting. Auto-completion doesn't work either. What about folding? There's an example file in the ConTeXt zip. The context api is in the Program_Files zip. CTRL-SPACE activates it while typing, or else go to Settings-Preferences-Backup/AutoCompletion to make it automatic. Basically, I need to know what parts of the distribution do what. For example: One nice feature is that from any text selection (such as a control sequence) you may do a ConTeXt Wiki search from the RUN menu or ALT-F2. How does that get enabled? You need shortcuts.xml. You can mix and match with your old one. See the readme also. A nice little trick lies in Plugins-ConvertExt-Options: Bracket Auto Completion. Most of the Scite ConTeXt commands are included (same shortcuts), in both RUN and script versions (for the console F6). I can get a console with F6; can you give an example of what to do with it? It's basically there to run multiline scripts. Install the new Program_Files zip (just uploaded), close and reopen, and press F6 for an example. The RUN commands are static, but with the console you can experiment with different settings, options, etc. It's one of my favorite utilities, actually. I use it much more than I use RUN.

[NTG-context] on block quotes
Dear Hans, wolfgang, and the rest of the gang,
How about adding something like this to the distribution:
\definedelimitedtext
[blockquote][quote]
\setupdelimitedtext
[blockquote]
[location=margin,
left=,
right=,
leftmargin=standard,
]
I'm working on a context utility that I want to distribute when done and
we need a standard, quotes-empty blockquote mechanism. This way we can
leave \quote and \quotation alone.

Maybe with buffers?

Hmm, this is interesting. Basically this would involve something like the
bibliography module {tag + database}. Could be useful for organizing
things like critical-edition apparati.
OTOH for large projects this could get a bit unwieldy and unmanageable.
Better in my view is to use an editor that supports folding, use a
\start-stopfootnote macro, and fold them out of site when not needed (I
have this in the Notepad++ setup).
Another idea is a lua script that texexec could use to label and/or move
all the notes to a separate database for analyses or other processing.
It all needs thought...

Then, I got a strange output(fig 1: wide blank spaces between
columns). If I use \getbuffer instead of \externalfigure, I got
somewhat proper output(fig 2), but the figure is located much higher
than the matrix(horizontal alignment is bad).
What is wrong in my sample? Is there any option for \startcombination?
\start-stopformula are for math display mode ($$-$$). Apparently having
display mode turned on within the buffer creates the extra space. Since
you are using combinations for your display there is no need for display
mode. The following works here:
===
\startbuffer[one]
%\startformula
\startmatrix

I want to change. It's technically possible to change it? Sure, you just have to define your own typescripts and install the fonts (eg bluesky version). There are some howto's out there for installing postscript fonts in ConTeXt (see the wiki: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Fonts ), and make sure you take optical scaling into account (my article discusses that). The only thing that I've noticed is that bluesky cmr seems to be hinted better and looks better on-screen at certain sizes than the lmr postscript fonts. OTOH I see no reason for using cmr.

[NTG-context] conditionals and font switches
Dear gang,
Consider a control sequence \MyCS. It has three possible definitions:
\def\MyCS{def1}, \def\MyCS{def2}, \def\MyCS{def3}
What I would like is to define \MyCS once such that
def1 takes effect when \tf is invoked
def2 takes effect when \it is invoked
def3 takes effect when \bf is invoked
something like (incorrect syntax but you'll get the point)
\def\MyCS{%
\if\itdef1
\else
\if\bfdef2
\else
def3}
How can I do this Any tips greatly appreciated!
Happy Holidays!

use \normalhbox cum suis when you want to use showboxes (which overloads
the primitive box operations)
Hmm, it's more serious than that I'm afraid (utf-8 text follows):
===

\defineactivecharacter Ṣ {\d S}
\defineactivecharacter ḻ {\~l}
\defineactivecharacter ḻ {\normalhbox{\~l}}

The \~l does not work in the footnote in luatex. Is there a workaround?

[NTG-context] quotation/blockquote bug
Dear syndicate,
There is a bug in \quotation and/or \blockquote (pdf attached): there is a
spurious dbl-quote mark at the end of the par that only occurs when
\quotation is invoked.
Please advise, workarounds welcome :-)
Best wishes
Idris
% engine=luatex
\starttext
\startblockquote
The now also must be indivisible: that is, the now in the essential
and primary sense in which the now is inherent in all time; not,
indeed, the now in the derived sense of a period of time…This now,
which functions as the border between both past and future, must,
indeed, be identical….If the now were separate limits [of both the
past and the future], there would be a time between them, since
every [real] continuum must have something of the same kind between
its limits; and the time between them would be divisible, since we
have proved that all time is divisible. Accordingly, the now would
be divisible [and it would not, then, be the now we are talking
about]….Thus, it is clear that time includes something indivisible,
which we call a \quotation{now.} Obviously, too, nothing can be
moving during a now.

[NTG-context] strutted pars?
Dear gang,
We can use \struttedbox to force an eg, large expression to obey the
surrounding interlinespace:
===
{blah blah \struttedbox{\tfc blah blah}} blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
\struttedbox{\tfc blah blah}} blah blah blah blah blah blah
===
but this has the drawback that the box cannot be broken across lines. Is
there a way to force the interlinespace to remain constant and ignore the
size of grouped insertions with big font sizes?
Best wishes
Idris

Indeed, much more to the point :-)
The wrong right values did only appear if you use singlecommand
quotations within a quotation environment.
The push and popdelimitedtext macros did not work correct in this case
and ConTeXt thinks there current environment is quotation and not
blockquote when it reaches the \stopblockquote command.
A group around the single quote command helps, you core macros would
look like:
\unprotect
\def\delimitedtext[#1]%
{\bgroup
\pushdelimitedtext{#1}%
\doifelse{\delimitedtextparameter\c!method}\s!font
{\dofontdrivendelimited}
{\doifinsetelse{\delimitedtextparameter\c!location}{\v!paragraph,
\v!margin}% \dodelimitedtextpar\dodelimitedtexttxt}}
\unexpanded\def\dodelimitedtextpar
{\dohandleleftdelimitedtext\c!left\relax
\groupedcommand
\donothing
{\dohandlerightdelimitedtext\c!right\removelastskip
\popdelimitedtext
\egroup}}
\def\doquoteddelimited
{\dohandleleftdelimitedtext\c!left\relax
\groupedcommand
\donothing
{\dohandlerightdelimitedtext\c!right
\removelastskip
\popdelimitedtext
\egroup}}
\def\doattributeddelimited
{\groupedcommand
{\dostartattributes{\??ci\currentdelimitedtext}\c!style\c!color}
{\dostopattributes
\popdelimitedtext
\egroup}}
\protect
I added in the macros above only a \bgroup in \delimitedtext and a
\egroup in every of the other three commands.
There is a bug in here I think: ConTeXt validation gives
error in file qabas-test.tex at line 6 in column 3: missing } for {
error in file qabas-test.tex at line 10 in column 6: missing } for {
line 6 is {\bgroup
luatex eternally pauses with an apparent runaway argument
But enclosing the whole thing {\quote{}} is a workaround.
Thank you very much for your continuous outppouring of wisdom, Wolfgang!

Not for me, I tested it with mkii and mkiv. I think it was also
something weird introduced by the mail clint.
Your test file works fine; it was probably the email, 'cause I can't tell

Ugly workaround.

For my purposes Hans' approach is the most useful (if we can make it work)

In luatex can I make a definition such that such that the string U004C U0303 (l ̃) is always treated as l with tilde above, taking into account italics and without using \~l (which does not work in, eg, footnote)?

No. You get that error because the font does not have a non-breaking hyphen, and you can fix it by changing that line into if characters[current.char] and characters[current.char].class == mark then and regenerating the format. But it will still not work, because the glyph still does not exist. Actually, this bug had the nice side-effect of identiying a few spots in this huge project (journal) where the conversion of articles to context was buggy (like that u-2011 example, they were all supposed to be converted). Nice to get a _helpful_ bug for a change. OTOH that should be fixed anyway... The interesting thing is that using the default lm setup it does not show up, but as soon as font features are activated it does.

Hi Wolfgang,
isn't this just a bug in lmodern? In any decent font, \textellipsis in
fact gives exactly the output you get from \unknown here. There may be
historical reasons why the glyph looks that way in cm and lm, but it
certainly is unexpected compared to other fonts.
Or a bug in mkii:
enco-utf.tex:
Line 3055 : \def\textellipsis {…} % HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS
enco-def.tex:
\definecharacter textellipsis {\mathematics\cdots}
try this:
===
% engine=luatex
\starttext
text\textellipsis
text\unknown
\stoptext
===
Another big difference. \textellipsis behaves differently in mkii and mkiv.
Also, the lm ellipsis seems way too packed...

Hello, I don't know nothing about Arabic script, but wouldn't it be logic to ask for %81 or 18% ? Hmm, this could be a long discussion... In ancient times, Arabic numerals (whence our own) were pronounced as follows (translation): 1234 = 4 and 30 and 2 hundred and a thousand Writing from right to left one would write 4 first, then 3, etc., giving the same output as writing from left to right. So the oft-repeated mantra that numbering in Arabic is LR is a half-truth. Today, Arabs, Persians etc. read numerals the same way westerners do; so the effect is that it is more convenient to enter numeral-strings as LR. But when the numbers were read in reverse (actually it is we that read numbers in reverse when you think about it, Arabic numerals after all) they were written RL and looked the same as our LR version.

If you are using pdfTeX, you have to switch to an encoding that uses
oldstyle numerals. This is because the knuthian font with oldstyle is a

Re: [NTG-context] old-style numerals and .

Something like the following

\setupbodyfont[reset]
\setupbodyfont[modern,11pt]
used to work in mkii (pdftex + context) but I don't know if it still
does
-- mkii support for oldstyle has not been a stable feature (due to the
changes from cm to lm): I had to recalibrate every couple of years or
so.
So try and see.
It looks like this is more complicated than I thought. What would I do
if I wanted old-style numerals just for a table of contents? Currently,
my table of contents is set up like so:
\setupcombinedlist[content][alternative=c,numberstyle={\os},pagestyle={\os}]
This produces the triangles for periods, and I think I understand why
that is so. What value should go in for the numberstyle key to enable
old-style numerals just for the table of contents?
In that case you'll have to switch fonts for the TOC. So you still need to
have a font setup that supports os, then switch to that font for the TOC.
For example, if you can define a latin modern typeface that uses the
oldstyle numerals, then \switchtotypeface[my-lm] in your TOC setup.
As I mentioned before I'm not sure what the present protocol is for
setting up an oldstyle LM typeface in mkii. Basically you want something
like
%% THIS IS ONLY AN ILLUSTRATION!!!
\starttypescript [LModern-OS]
\definebodyfontenvironment
[lmodern-os]
[default]
[interlinespace=2.8ex]
\definetypeface [lmodern-os] [rm] [serif] [lmodern-os] [latin-modern-os]
[texnansi]
\stoptypescript
%% THIS IS ONLY AN ILLUSTRATION!!!
but maybe someone on the list knows the exact protocol. Then you can do
\usetypescript[LModern-OS] in your preamble and
\switchtotypeface[lmodern-os] where you need it.
Once the final move to mkiv is made this will all be much easier...
