[NTG-context] How to implement word corrections
Hi, list! I'm writing a small module to print word corrections, e.g.,
things like "irregardless" > "regardless"or "alverja" > "arveja" ('pea' in
Spanish) with overstrikes and underlines, but I want feedback to make a
module in the ConTeXt fashion. I hope the PDF attached explains better what
I mean. Just in case, I want to know if anyone else in the mailing list is
acquainted with grammar and orthography quizzes/exercises/exams in ConTeXt.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Best regards,
Jairo

[NTG-context] barring changes
Please consider the attached example – some of the “barring” macros are
defunct already for a while, some more within a TABLE:
\underbar works, but not in TABLE
\underbarsworks
\underdot doesn’t work
\underdotsdoesn’t work
\underdashdoesn’t work
\underdashes doesn’t work
\underrandom doesn’t work
\underrandoms doesn’t work
\overbar works, but not in TABLE
\overbars works
\overstrike works, but not in TABLE
\overstrikes works
\understrike works, but not in TABLE
\understrikes works
The nested example
\overbar{Über} \underbar{Unterstrich \underbar{steigt \overbar{auf} den
\underdot{Unterberg}}}.
works only once, afterwards all the underbars are missing.

Re: [NTG-context] double underbars
Ok, so I will see. But, if even you gave up, I should better hope that someone
else hears our desperate cries ;)

Yes, that is the right part to get started with. You could just copy the whole
\startuseMPgraphic and rename it for editing (to let’s say
rules:under:bardots), then do
\definebar[underbardot][undergraphic][mp=rules:under:bardots]
and play with the mp until you are happy with the output.
But the problem is that you have to create an “underbardot" that contains both
the bar and the dots, to fix the non-nesting problem. It is then quite hard to
get that definition to align properly with any enclosing “underbar” (I tried
something like that a while ago and basically gave up. I did not want to spend
a whole of time on it so I just told the client “computer says no").
> Another question: what do you mean with a dy-shift version?
Nested bars have a parameter ‘dy’ which controls the vertical shifts needed to
make sure that they do not overlap. Text backgrounds do not have that option at
all.

As it stands, you can nest \underbars inside \underbars and \overstrikes inside
\overstrikes and \overbars inside \overbars, but no other combinations work.
Interoperability between these (as well as \underdot, \underdash, \underrandom

Either with \bar or a nestable dy-shift version of textbackgrounds would be
really handy sometimes. :)
\startbar[under,over,strikethrough] ... \stopbar ?
\barbar[top=single,bottom=double,mp=mp:swiggly]{text} ?
A nestable version of the existing bars would have the advantage that
you can add bars one after the other.

Re: [NTG-context] double underbars
Thanks, Taco. Good to know. Although it's not what I wanted to hear, of
course...
I was thinking using mp to draw the combination could be solution, but
unfortunately I don't know metafun yet.
If my understanding of https://source.contextgarden.net/node-rul.mkiv is
correct, it should be possible to build upon the defintion of rules:under:dots
(l. 327) Any hints how I could get this started?
Another question: what do you mean with a dy-shift version?

Wolfgang or whoelse,
when would you advise to use textbackgrounds and when bars? E.g. if I need a
“marker” highlighting.

Thanks, that works fine with \underbar, as well as \underbars,

You mentioned that \underbar (and presumably the others I mentioned
above) are macros taking arguments e.g. \acommand{...}. However
presumably something like \midaligned{...} is also a macro requiring
an argument, but this works as a \defineXMLgrouped and as a
\defineXMLargument - why does it work with both?
the macro ones do manipulate their argument, for instance, underbar is
not a font charateristic or color switch or so i.e. not a real
attribute; esp using setups will make your style look better (look into
x-fo for instance, forget about the dirty tricks there, but it's pretty
clean; mapping values and so save many macro definitions
The manual XML in ConTeXt very briefly sketched over these XML
commands and I can see great potential to use them directly on XML to
generate ConTeXt for PDF rather than the XSLT/XSL-FO route which seems
to be gaining momentum in much of the industry. I don't suppose there
is another more detailed document which elaborates on the XML
commands, and how you may determine which of these is most appropriate
for what kind of ConTeXt command mapping?
you can take a look into the x-* files which show quite some mappings;
indeed direct mapping is often more convenient than transformations;
future versions of context will also offer more manipulation possibilities
Also at the moment a non-mapped element seems to automatically type
out its contents as straight text - is there a way to override this
behaviour and specify this as an error? (This is rather like the Ruby
duck-typing approach - if an XML element is mapped, process it, else
it is an error).
\startXMLignore
\stopXMLignore
in xtag-pre you can see:
\defineXMLenvironment [\s!default] \defaultXMLelement \defaultXMLelement
\defineXMLsingular[\s!default] \defaultXMLelement
% \def\defaultXMLelement
% {\iftraceXMLelements[\currentXMLfullidentifier]\fi}
\def\defaultXMLelement
{\iftraceXMLelements{\infofont\currentXMLfullidentifier}\fi}
%D We can use the default handler to implement automatic
%D element hiding. Beware: this overloads the tracer.
\def\startXMLignore{\dododefineXMLignore \s!default}
\def\stopXMLignore {\dododefineXMLprocess\s!default}
so you can play with the default handlers

[NTG-context] Problems mapping Xml into ConTeXt
Hi everyone,
I am attempting to map some XML into
ConTeXt as described in the manual XML in ConTeXt. Essentially
we have a bunch of tagged text (the XML loosely based on some
of the XHTML tags) from which we want to produce PDF letters for
dispatch (via email, post etc).
I am having particular problems implementing
the following commands: -
\underbar,
\underbars, \overstrike, \overstrikes, \low, \high and \lohi
I was expecting that they would all
easily be defined using the \defineXMLgrouped [name] {command} element
mapping. There is probably something very simple that I have not setup
correctly since I am sure that this has been attempted before and would
appreciate pointers as to where I am going wrong.
The following attempts at mapping element
u to \underbar illustrates my problem which also seems largely
applicable to the strike, sub and sup mapping:
-
1. This def of u does
nothing ...
\defineXMLgrouped [u] \underbar
2. This def of u also
does nothing ...
\defineXMLgrouped [u] {\groupedcommand{\underbar}{}}
3. This def of u underlines
the 1st character only ...
\defineXMLenvironment [u] {\bgroup\underbar}
{\egroup}
4. In the mailing list, there is a suggestion
that \underbar does not allow line-breaking, so I also tried the
following. This def of u works partially, in
that it does underline, however it causes havoc with alignment - everything
seems to shift over to the right about 4cm ...
\defineXMLenvironment [u] \startul \stopul
\definetextbackground[ul]
[location=text,alternative=1,background="">
\definestartstop[ul]
[before={\starttextbackground[ul]
},
after={\stoptextbackground\
}]
Below is a sample .tex file that
I have been playing with: -
\usemodule[contml]
\autoXMLnamespace [context]
% Attempts at defining a mapping for
u: -
% This def of u does nothing
...
%\defineXMLgrouped [u] \underbar
% This def of u does nothing
...
%\defineXMLgrouped [u] {\groupedcommand{\underbar}{}}
% This def of u underlines the
1st character only ...
%\defineXMLenvironment [u] {\bgroup\underbar}
{\egroup}
%
% This def of u works
partially, in that it does underline, however it
% causes havoc with alignment - everything
seems to shift over to the right
% about 4cm ...
\defineXMLenvironment [u] \startul \stopul
\definetextbackground[ul]
[location=text,alternative=1,background="">
\definestartstop[ul]
[before={\starttextbackground[ul]
},
% after={\stoptextbackground\fixedspaces}]
after={\stoptextbackground\
}]
% Other mappings

[NTG-context] visualising evolution from one version to another
Hello,
if you know a bit MS-Word, then you have seen perhaps the feature, that
permits visualising differences between 2 versions of a document: added
text in red, and deleted text stroke out.
I would like to make something similar with ConTeXt: making a pdf-file from
doc-versionX.tex and doc-versionY.tex with added text in some colour and
deleted text displayed with \overstrikes{}.
Do you have some ideas, how to do that?
Cheers, Peter

You need a way to create a merged ConTeXt document from the two separate
files, perhaps using something like this:
