Re: [NTG-context] outputting components in their own PDFs
What exactly do you need? You can just process each component on its own. With
a makefile or shell script, batch file, that should be easy enough.
Or, do you need to have correct cross references, page numbers, etc.? I was
asking a similar question two days ago, and Hans showed me how to add
information to the log file:
\writestatus{!}{SPLIT HERE: \the\realpageno}
You should be then able to extract the split points from the log file and
extract the components from the complete PDF.
Or, if you know that you will need to split your document at certain structure
elements (chapters, sections or so), it's even simpler.
The lua script below will split your PDF at each chapter. It uses pdftk for
splitting, but it should be easy to adapt this to context's own mechanism
mentioned by Hans in the other thread.

Betreff: [NTG-context] outputting components in their own PDFs
I have a project-component setup and need to produce a single PDF file
containing all the components as well as a PDF file for each component. The
single file is easy. Is there a way to automate the generation of the PDF files
for the individual components?

Re: [NTG-context] Project Structure - inheritance rules for environments
denis.ma...@ub.unibe.ch schrieb am 28.02.2021 um 23:09: Hi, I’m just having a look a project structure again. I am using the example given in the wiki: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Project_structure, i.e., in my component I’m linking to the product, but not to the project. Now I was expecting that the component inherits the environment set in the project via the product. The wiki currently explains: “If you tex (compile) one single component (e.g. a chapter of a book) or product (e.g. one volume of a magazine), the environment file of the project is used.” That does not seem to be the case here. Can anyone confirm this? Is this a bug or does the wiki needs to be revised? The \product command doesn't load any files because it doesn't make any sense. Let us take a look at the following example. When you process only a single component and \product would load the parent file you're running in a problem because the parent file is now loading the previous component file etc. This would end in a loop and to prevent this \product lines are ignored. There are ways to avoid this by redefining \component etc. when the parent file is loaded but it's a mess to take care about all combinations in which files are loaded. The best thing you can do here is to load the environment file in each product and component because the file is only loaded once on the first call. When you use multiple environment files you can collect them in a project file and use \project to load only one file but this is seldom needed. begin product.tex \startproduct * \environment environment \component component_1 \component component_2 \stopproduct end product.tex begin component_1.tex \startcomponent * \environment environment ... \stopcomponent end component_1.tex Wolfgang ___ 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://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

Hi David, I’m also using Gramps (for my personal family tree and for research for a historical novel), and I always wondered if it wouldn’t be possible to create nicer family trees and other charts using ConTeXt/MetaPost. But I still can’t handle XML in ConTeXt nor MetaPost myself. I’d suggest to first create a sample layout to have a clear target – how would you like to present your data? Since Gramps XML is not very straightforward (many crossreferences) it _might_ make sense to use a preprocessor (XSLT) and convert it to XML or Lua tables that you can use with the bibliography module. I’m quite sure it’s possible to do it completely in ConTeXt/Lua, but if you’d like to have configurable output, you’d probably create something similar to the bib module. I’m looking forward to what you will create! (And I think it would be an excellent topic for a talk at the ConTeXt meeting and/or an article in the ConTeXt journal!)

Hello Hans,
is it possible to keep wincon.dll outside the LMTX installation tree?
I'd rather avoid anything in E:\tex-context\tex\* (or the installation
dir in my comp).
I keep Lua DLLs (and other extensions) independently as they need to be
accessible for many programs.
Or - is it possible to tell "mtxrun --generate" somehow to scan a
specific directory, too (be it d:\Lukas\Lua\54\* in my case)?
The installer doesn't wipe the bin tree. In windows you can have the dll
in some system path too and there's also
package.extralibpath("d:/Lukas/Lua/54")
or you can add stuff to the configuration file. I admit that I haven't
tested that in a while (I only occasionally use(d) the mysql library but
either with ffi (mkiv) or with the built in one (lmtx), not some
external lua specific wrapper).
The mentioned tracker shows you all the places where libs are searched.

Hi Hans,
Thank you for the new upload.
The teaser examples work fine, many thanks !
I have a question though: how can one center within a page a text, for example
typeset in a circular shape? I tried with \startalignment, and also with
\startplacefigure but none of these gives a centered circular shape.
Also I noticed that if one removes the comment at the end of
\startshapedparagraph, or add a blank line after that, then the circular shape
is destroyed: is this on purpose ?
\starttext
\startuseMPgraphic{circleBis}

We're talking parshapes here, think of
\parshape 2
2mm 10cm
4mm 12cm
or
\parshape 2
options 1 % force a repeat
2mm 10cm
4mm 12cm
but then nicely wrapped in a macro. The circle is (cf metafun manual)
converted into such a parshape. A parshape is forgotten when a new
paragraph is started, but ... we have extra magic that revives them
which is why the multi-page-par examples work too. The cycle and repeat
methods do that (using abit diufferent tricks than the 20 year old one
but not that different); these methods are independent of the parshape's
repeat option itself, which is an engine feature.
Messing with left/right 'align' will also bring left/rightskip into the
game so normally you will not do that. I admit it take a bit of
imagination to get the picture. The 'last' keyword is some old context
feature that centers the last line (which looks nicer in a circle) which
is using some parfillskip magic.

[NTG-context] lmtx update / teaser
Hi,
I uploaded a new lmtx. As I'm currently going through the metafun todo
files I ended up at the fancy shape part (parshapes) running over
multiple paragraphs and decided to provide a (kind of low level)
interface that integrates that. The example code is a few decades old
but still works ok (i might try to improve them a bit some day). Anyway,
here is a teaser:
\starttext
\startuseMPgraphic{circle}
lmt_parshape [
path = fullcircle scaled 136mm,
offset = 2mm,
bottomskip = - 1.5LineHeight,
] ;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\start
\startshapedparagraph[list=circle,mp=circle,repeat=yes,method=cycle]%
\setupalign[verytolerant,stretch,last]\dontcomplain
{\darkred \samplefile{tufte}}\par
{\darkgreen \samplefile{tufte}}\par
{\darkblue\samplefile{tufte}}\par
{\darkcyan\samplefile{tufte}}\par
{\darkmagenta \samplefile{tufte}}\par
\stopshapedparagraph
\stop
\page
\start
\startshapedparagraph[list=circle,mp=circle,repeat=yes,method=repeat]%
\setupalign[verytolerant,stretch,last]\dontcomplain
{\darkred \samplefile{tufte}}
{\darkgreen \samplefile{tufte}}
{\darkblue\samplefile{tufte}}
{\darkcyan\samplefile{tufte}}
{\darkmagenta \samplefile{tufte}}
\stopshapedparagraph
\stop
\stoptext
The interface is still somewhat rough (no grouping for instance, not a
real envrionment so that might change) but seems to work ok. One can
also go the tex route and say:
\startparagraphshape[test]
left 1mm right 1mm
left 2mm right 2mm
left 3mm right 3mm
copy 8
left 4mm right 4mm
left 5mm right 5mm
left 5mm hsize 10cm
\stopparagraphshape
or
\startparagraphshape[test]
left 1mm right 1mm
right 3mm
left 5mm right 5mm
repeat
\stopparagraphshape
or
\startparagraphshape[test]
both 1mm both 2mm both 3mm both 4mm both 5mm both 6mm
both 7mm both 6mm both 5mm both 4mm both 3mm both 2mm
\stopparagraphshape
or
\startparagraphshape[test-repeat]
both 1mm both 2mm both 3mm both 4mm both 5mm both 6mm
both 7mm both 6mm both 5mm both 4mm both 3mm both 2mm
repeat
\stopparagraphshape
and use that with:
\startshapedparagraph[list=test]
\dorecurse{8}{\showparagraphshape\samplefile{tufte} \par}

Some more info is in the lowlevel-paragrsph document (part of the low
level series).
This kind of features falls into the category 'fancy' (no one reqtested
it), nice for posters and covers. It might evolve depending on needs for
fancy features, but as said, it's currently a side track of metafun, so
it's also in the category 'fun'. It's code for 'controlled' usage.

[NTG-context] Make LMTX load a custom library
Hello, suppose having a custom DLL (actualy a Lua module) in: d:\Lukas\Lua\54\WinCon.dll How exactly should I alter the path specification so LMTX be able to load WinCon.dll? My trials - without success so far - are: 1. Alter LUA_CPATH before running Ctx, so something like: (command line) set LUA_CPATH=d:\Lukas\Lua\54\?.dll;%LUA_CPATH% context.exe test.tex ... 2. Alter LUAINPUTS before running Ctx, so something like: (command line) set LUAINPUTS=%LUAINPUTS%;d:\Lukas\Lua\54\?.dll;%LUA_CPATH% context.exe test.tex ... 3. Changing the path at runtime, so something like: test.tex \startluacode package.cpath = package.cpath .. ";d:/Lukas/Lua/54/?.dll" require "MyLib" \stopluacode But I'm still getting errors like: " ... token call, execute: ...TX/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/l-sandbox.lua:180: module 'WinCon' not found: no field package.preload['WinCon'] no file 'd:\Lukas\Lua\WinCon.lua' no file 'd:\Lukas\Common\Statics\WinCon.lua' no file 'd:\Lukas\Lua\3rdParty\WinCon.lua' no file 'd:\Lukas\Lua\3rdParty\stdlib\modules\WinCon.lua' no file 'd:\Lukas\Lua\3rdParty\LuaXML\WinCon.lua' no file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Lua\5.1\lua\WinCon.luac' no file 'd:\Lukas\Lua\Geom' ... " Surprisingly, loader tries to locate a *.lua* only, whilst here I nedd to load a .dll; and in genereal case, .lua, .luac and .dll may be required. So - how to specify the path correctly, be it on the command line or within a .tex (LMTX run-time)?
