Thanks! The \page after the figure certainly seems to fix it.
Unfortunately a page break after every figure is impractical in my

I've read the layout manual a couple more times).

2011-09-29 Thread Siep Kroonenberg
Thanks for all the praise.

ATM I have limited time for fixing issues so do not expect instant
responses or fixes. But if you have problems, it would help to list:
- browser and browser version
- OS
- Javascript on or off
- problem url

About the limited width:

max-width is expressed in ems. Zooming also zooms the width of the
page, up to the width of the window.

With a line `$wgAllowUserCss = true;' in LocalSettings.php,
users could make a page User:user name/contextskin.css with
content

body { max-width: none; }

to always use the full width of the window. But currently such a
page has no effect.

You can use “month:mnem” and “m:mnem” for the abbreviations of the months but 
there is a bug in core-con.lua

function commands.currentdate(str,currentlanguage) -- j and jj obsolete
local list = utilities.parsers.settings_to_array(str)
local year, month, day = tex.year, tex.month, tex.day
local auto = true
for i=1,#list do
local entry = list[i]
local tag, plus = match(entry,^([^%+:]+)(.*)$)
local ordinal, mnemonic, whatordinal = false, false, nil
if not tag then
tag = entry
-   elseif plus == + or plus == ord then
-   ordinal = true
-   elseif plus == mnem then
+   elseif plus == + or plus == :ord then
+   ordinal = true
+   elseif plus == :mnem then
mnemonic = true
end
...
end

Even when you patch this you don’t get any output because context tries (in the 
example below) to use the label “August:mnem” but only the label “august:mnem” 
is defined.

\starttext

\date[d=1,m=8][day:ord,space,month,space,month:mnem]

\starttabulate[|Tl|l|]
\NC August  \EQ \labeltext{August}  \NC\NR
\NC August:mnem \EQ \labeltext{August:mnem} \NC\NR
\NC august:mnem \EQ \labeltext{august:mnem} \NC\NR
\stoptabulate

[NTG-context] Finding Minion and Myriad

2011-09-29 Thread john Culleton

These two fonts are in /usr/share/fonts/OTF.
In that directory they are listed in fonts.dir.
I want to use simplefonts to use Minion as the base font.
I ran the various commands described in the Wiki page:

http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Fonts_in_LuaTeX
and got the two fonts listed in the font database.

I put the following in my MKIV context file:
...
\usemodule[simplefonts] % load the module
\setmainfont[minionproregular] % 

%\whitespace[line]

\usetypescript[serif,sans][hanging][pure]  
\setupalign[hanging]
\setupbodyfont[minionproregular,14pt]
...
Now I get a new error message:
-
mtx-context.lua:675: attempt to call field 'locate_format' (a nil value)

Any suggestions?

Method 1:

\setmainfont[Minion Pro][protrusion=quality]

You can specify with them subdirectories where context looks when you include a 
component file, e.g. instead of

   \startproduct product

   \component subdirectory/component-1
   \component subdirectory/component-2

   \stopproduct

you can write

   \startproduct product

   \usepath[subdirectory]

   \component component-1
   \component component-2

   \stopproduct

Please note that the path to the Adobe fonts must be included

export

Re: [NTG-context] [OT] intelligent commas in math (in LaTeX)

$1,23$ to behave as decimal comma (similar to 
\setupmatematics[autopunct=yes]). Since it is targeting pdftex and xetex 
engines, it makes , an active char in mathmode and redefines it as a macro 
that uses look ahead to check if the next token is a digit.


In principle a cleaner implementation is possible in luatex (without using 
active characters), but I am not completely sure about this. It will be 
better to handle this as part of \mnum macro.

Use “Minion Pro” (could also be lowercase and without spaces) but not 
“minionproregular” because simplefonts can’t then find the italic and bold

 \usetypescript[serif,sans][hanging][pure]

This is MkII, for MkIV overload the default set with

Re: [NTG-context] usepath?

2011-09-29 Thread Meer, H. van der
This didn't work for me. I guess it has to do with some misunderstanding about 
the directory from where projects start reckoning. The directory structure is:

directory-project
directory-project/product (context runs from here)
directory-project/product/component-a-subfiles
directory-project/product/component-b-subfiles

Code in directory-project/product/component-a-subfile does \input but cannot 
find files in directories below or in directories alongside. My question is 
from what directory starts the search tree?

 You can specify with them subdirectories where context looks when you include 
 a component file, e.g. instead of
 
   \startproduct product
 
   \component subdirectory/component-1
   \component subdirectory/component-2
 
   \stopproduct
 
 you can write
 
   \startproduct product
 
   \usepath[subdirectory]

When you process the product it starts from the directory where the product is

directory where the component files is 
(“directory-project/product/component-a-subfiles” or 
“directory-project/product/component-b-subfiles”). You problem could be that 
you use \input to load the components but you need the \component command.

not so soon -- it's dinner time here
anyway --- apart the notes from wolfgang, and assuming the suite  aka
standalone aka minimals installation
you can
1) copy the minion font in
tex/texmf/fonts/opentype/adobe/minion
2) mtxrun --script fonts --reload
3) mtxrun --generate
4) try context test.tex in a folder without the fonts, just to check
that it's ok

The location can vary, but I like this one ; as Wolfgang said,
 test.tex is a mix of mkiv and mkii and you should use

\setmainfont[minionpro]
instead of
\setmainfont[minionproregular] %
and
\definefontfeature[default][default][protrusion=quality]

[NTG-context] metapost to pdf on the fly

2011-09-29 Thread Meer, H. van der
I would like to generate metapost figures in separate pdf-files (in some 
convenient directory, they are reused elsewhere). This as part of a project 
structure. I know that on a separate run such a pdf can be generated with:
context figurefile running on input
  \input some-metapost-inclusions
  \starttext
  \startMPpage
  ..
  \stopMPpage
  \stoptext

But the idea is to do it on the fly while typesetting a project (using 
mode=*first to prevent further iterations):
..
\component figurefile
..
And in the figurefile
  \startcomponent figurefile
  \environment some-metapost-inclusions
  \starttext
  .. BUT THEN WHAT?

As such it is not sufficient for the goal proposed. Can this be done at all?

[NTG-context] readfile not understood

2011-09-29 Thread Meer, H. van der
I do not understand while \readfile behaves differently from \input with regard 
to TeX-code processing.
I have the following code:

\readfile{metapost-setup} %(file with metapost inclusions)
\starttext
\startMPpage
..
\stopMPpage
\stoptext

Replace the \readfile by: 
  \input ../../../metapost-setup %(file with metapost inclusions) 
works ok.
But with \readfile seems to be skipped silently, that is without any sign of it 
in the log. The convenience of \readfile should be, if I understand correctly, 
that it searches upwards to the root of directory tree. Which makes the series 
of ../'s unnecessary and allows for easily pushing the tex-files further down 
when their number grows.
Can it be explained?

Finding the file works with \ReadFile{} works. But is generates another problem 
because

  \input ../../../metapost-setup
and
  \ReadFile{metapost-setup}

behave differently! The \input process my \startMPinclusions correctly but the

 I do not understand while \readfile behaves differently from \input with 
 regard to TeX-code processing.
 I have the following code:
 
 \readfile{metapost-setup} %(file with metapost inclusions)
 \starttext
 \startMPpage
 ..
 \stopMPpage
 \stoptext
 
 Replace the \readfile by: 
 \input ../../../metapost-setup %(file with metapost inclusions) 
 works ok.
 But with \readfile seems to be skipped silently, that is without any sign of 
 it in the log. The convenience of \readfile should be, if I understand 
 correctly, that it searches upwards to the root of directory tree. Which 
 makes the series of ../'s unnecessary and allows for easily pushing the 
 tex-files further down when their number grows.
 Can it be explained?
 
 \readfile expects three arguments, replace it with \ReadFile which expects 
 only one.

 Finding the file works with \ReadFile{} works. But is generates another 
 problem because
 
  \input ../../../metapost-setup
 and
  \ReadFile{metapost-setup}
 
 behave differently! The \input process my \startMPinclusions correctly but 
 the ReadFile does not, because the following metapost has the definitions 
 missing.

When you have files which are shared between many different files, then put the 
file in the tex directory.

Re: [NTG-context] metapost to pdf on the fly

I would like to generate metapost figures in separate pdf-files (in some 
convenient directory, they are reused elsewhere). This as part of a project 
structure. I know that on a separate run such a pdf can be generated with:
context figurefile running on input
 \input some-metapost-inclusions
 \starttext
 \startMPpage
 ..
 \stopMPpage
 \stoptext

But the idea is to do it on the fly while typesetting a project (using 
mode=*first to prevent further iterations):
..
\component figurefile
..
And in the figurefile
 \startcomponent figurefile
 \environment some-metapost-inclusions
 \starttext
 .. BUT THEN WHAT?

As such it is not sufficient for the goal proposed. Can this be done at all?


What I usually do is have all the figures in separate buffers:

\startenvironment figures

\startbuffer[fig-1]
...
\stopbuffer

\stopenvironment

and in the main file

\environment figures

\starttext

\processMPbuffer[fig-1]

\stoptext

This way you can also combine multiple figures using

\processMPbuffer[fig-common,fig-1]

etc.

The metapost processing is fast enough that there is no noticable speed 
difference.

Excellent. Now if there is a way to make Myriad the font of choice for
sans-serif I will be deliriously happy. And I promise not to bother the
list for a while.

Re: [NTG-context] Float placement problem

Yes, that's pretty bad... in subsequent tests I've found that
‘diluting’ the figures with sufficient text (like adding \page) fixes
the problem -- unfortunately mixing [here] and [page] placement (as I
need to do in my document) messes it up again. In addition, several of
my tests crash ConTeXt with the error ‘Argument of \rootfloatparameter
has an extra }’, for example:

\setuplayout[location=doublesided]
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided,location={margin,header}]
\setupfloat[figure][location=inner]
\showframe
\starttext
\input knuth
\dorecurse{4}{
\placefigure[here]{caption}{\externalfigure[cow.pdf][width=17cm]}
\input knuth
\placefigure[page]{caption}{\externalfigure[cow.pdf][width=17cm]}
\input knuth
% \input knuth % uncomment this line to make the file work
}
\stoptext

Again, this works with v2011.02.25 (although figure numbers are mixed
up).

I think I'll have to give up on this now and revert to the old version,
but I'll put a pointer to this thread on the Wiki in case anyone else
runs into similar problems.
