[NTG-context] trouble with the title page using the FramedTitle style of the simpleslides module
I'm working with the simpleslides module and am trying to prepare a
presentation using the FramedTitle style. Things are mostly OK, but I
notice one curious problem with the title page. Try this out on the
live ConTeXt installation:
% -- the beginning
\usemodule[simpleslides]
[
style=FramedTitle,
]
\setupTitle[
title={Why is this red?},
author={You},
date={\date[y=2014,m=1,d=07]},
]
\placeTitle
\SlideTitle{this is white (maybe grey)}
text in black as expected
% -- the end
What I notice is that the text on the title page (title, author, date) is
* in red on a red background (quite hard to read), and
* not centered (even though in the documentation for the simpleslides
module and the examples it contains the content on the titleslide
ought to be centered).
I'm using an up-to-date ConTexT; I have the minimals installed on my machine and
just did an update today using
$ ./first-setup.sh --modules=all
I'm running in mkiv mode in the sense that I run simply
$ context slides.tex
and I can confirm, using
$ which context
that I really am running the ConTeXt that I expect. In any case, the
curiosity I describe can be replicated using the live ConTeXt on the
ConTeXtgarden. Can you see what might be going wrong?
Thanks,
Jesse

Is there a way to have context throw an error if a reference is invalid? (That probably would only make sense in the second pass of context, since the first pass has to collect the references first.) Unknown references are shown as “??” in your text. Wolfgang True, I was mostly thinking about \about, which just prints two quotation marks and nothing in between. But my problem (if I can even call it that, since grep is already a solution, just maybe not the best one :D) is, that I could easily miss such small changes. I'm working on technical documentation that even has parts that are automatically generated (from XML files). I just update whatever is necessary (the document itself, or just the input files), commit them to SVN and our CI server grabs them, and runs ConTeXt. If ConTeXt returns with a return code 0, the build is marked as failed and all necessary admins (me and my colleague) are informed via eMail and/or RSS feed. If the build succeeds, the generated PDF is automatically distributed to the users. I consider wrong references an error, so I would like the build to fail (imho referencing something that doesn't exist is like using a macro that doesn't exist, which fails too). But as I said: if context can't treat that as error, I'm fine with it too and will continue to grep the logfile. It's just curiosity if there may already be a setting/parameter/whatever to get context to be more restrictive. +1 I would also like ConTeXt to help me keep me document sensible in this way. I also resort to grep-type solutions, but sometimes I forget to do this, and sometimes, there are embarrassing consequences of such oversight. If ConTeXt could help me avoid this all-too-common oversight of mine, I'd be delighted. Throwing an error would be one way to do this. If throwing an error is not possible, perhaps being able to customize what gets printed when an undefined reference is encountered. E.g., instead of ??, a big, annoying, impossible-to-miss mark in the margin (as one sees when working with overfull lines) or a giant red stopsign saying UNDEFINED REFERENCE, would do just as well. -- Jesse Alama http://centria.di.fct.unl.pt/~alama/___ 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://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

[NTG-context] query about referring to pdf attachments
Can one refer to PDF attachments as though they were local files? I'd like to treat the PDF as a kind of rudimentary filesystem. Whatever is attached to the PDF can be found under the root directory of the PDF. One could then place hyperlinks to these files which, when followed, cause an attachment to be opened (say, a music player, a web browser, etc.). Ideally, one would be able to do something like this: \useattachment[my-video][my-video.mpg] \attachment[my-video] \useURL[my-video-url][file:///my-video.mpg][][Awesome Video] \starttext Follow the link to \from[my-video-url]! \stoptext The file:///my-video.mpg URI is a guess; the idea is to somehow refer to a file placed in the PDF's filesystem.

[NTG-context] alternating items in an itemization
I'd like to define an itemization that has two kinds of items,
representing a dialogue between two people. (One could imagine
extending this to more than two.) I'd like to have something like this:
\startdialogue
\john What did you have for breakfast?
\mary I skipped breakfast today.
\john Oh, why?
\mary Because I wasn't hungry. I was too distraught at what had
happened the previous night.
\stopdialogue
The \john and \mary parts would each be their own paragaphs. The
paragraphs would be colored with different text backgrounds, and joined
up with one another (that is, the blocks of text representing the
paragraphs for the different speakers would be adjacent to one another).
I've tried doing this using \defineparagraphs, \defineframedtext, and
\defineenumerations, but I can't quite get the right effect;
\setupcolors[state=start]
\definetextbackground[john-background][backgroundcolor=green]
\definetextbackground[mary-background][backgroundcolor=red]
\definestartstop[dialogue]
\defineparagraphs[john][before={\starttextbackground[john-background]},after={\stoptextbackground}]
\defineparagraphs[mary][before={\starttextbackground[mary-background]},after={\stoptextbackground}]
Putting
this before the above \start/stopdialogue snippet (suitably enclosed in
\start/stoptext) gives me an error about a missing }; I suppose I'm
overlooking something.
An enumeration-based solution would be along these lines:
\defineenumeration
[chat]
\setupenumerations
[chat]
[joinedup,packed]
\define[0]\john{\item John: }
\define[0]\may{\item Mary: }
I can't figure out how to get the textbackgrounds to work here, and
there's a bullet symbol at the beginning of every dialogue paragraph,
which I'd rather get rid of (and I don't want the indent between the
bullet and the beginning of the text).
A framed-text solution starts to come close:
\defineframedtext[john][frame=off,background=color,backgroundcolor=magenta]
\defineframedtext[mary][frame=off,background=color,backgroundcolor=lightred]
But then the boxed paragraphs are separated from each other by some
vertical whitespace.
Another idea would be to use tables, but I haven't explored that yet.
Any suggestions for how to render dialogues as above in ConTeXt?
Thanks,
Jesse

A few weeks back Taco said that a lua based bib module is at least a few months away (http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20090312.084338.8be52e4c.en.html). Is that still the case?

[NTG-context] \rightarrow missing?
It seems that \rightarrow is missing. The command exists, in the sense that its use doesn't lead to an error, but it doesn't lead to anything in the output.

Re: [NTG-context] hyphenatedurl (WHY?)
Steffen Wolfrum [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
God bless the command \hyphenatedurl{...} !
Only, I am wondering why it starts a new line not *after* but *before*
the slash, dot or whatever there is to structure a long url.
Is this an english/dutch convention, completely different than
paragraph wrapping? Or is it common usus, just me never noticed it
outside ConTeXt??
I can't speak for Dutch conventions, but here are some rules concerning
URL's according to the Chicago Manual of Style, 15th edition:
Where it is necessary to break a URL or an e-mail address, no hyphens
should be used. The break should be made between elements, after a
colon, a slash, a double slash, or the symbol @ but before a period or
any other punctuation or symbols. To avoid confusion, a URL that
contains a hyphen should never be broken at the hyphen. If a
particularly long element must be broken to avoid a seriously loose
line, it should be broken between syllables according to the
guidelines offered above. (7.44, p. 298)
There's another section of the book (17.11) where they say the same
thing, and give examples:
http://press-pubs.uchicago
.edu/founders/
http://www.uiowa.edu/
~vpr/research/organize/humalink.htm
http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/b.cgi
?artid=19161
http://www.internetnews.com/ec
-news/article/0,,4_353451.html
Does anyone have any other references handy that could adjudicate on the
matter? Perhaps this varies from language to language (or even country
to country), though I would be surprised if it varied all that much,
since URL's are a fairly new typographical entity.

I spoke too soon: I confused a shell in which I had set up ConTeXt using

still stands. (I've also asked for help on the TL list.)

mtx-context can be found:
$ luatools mtx-context.lua
We've had this before. IIRC, the problem is that mtxrun looks for
the script using a different 'file type' from luatools. It probably
means you will have to adjust a value in texmf.cnf.
I have:
LUAINPUTS=.;$TEXMF/tex/{context,plain/base,generic}//:$TEXMF/scripts/context/lua
TEXMFSCRIPTS=.;$TEXMF/tex/{context,plain/base,generic,}//;$TEXMF/scripts/context//

you will have to rerun luatools --generate.
I modified texmf.cnf to give these variables those values, but I still
get the same error, even after luatools --generate. Further
suggestions?
By the way, I initially modified the local texmf.cnf file
texlive/2008/texmf.cnf
rather than the gloal configuration file
texlive/2008/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
because the former file says that it should contain changes to the
latter:
---snip---
% If you want to configure something to a value different then the one
% in texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf, just put the changed value here.
---snip---
But I noticed that when I ran luatools --generate, it apparently ignored
this local texmf.cnf file; it read only the global texmf.cnf file.
I inferred that from the output:
LuaTools | error unable to locate texmfcnf.lua
LuaTools | loading /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
LuaTools | preparing configuration for
/Users/alama/luatex-cache/context/79597d0cc507e8e510dd517f8850b2ca/trees/ae181585be5454a57ae25fb95c3ccbef.tma

...etc.
Thus I modified the global configuration file instead. By the way,
the variables LUAINPUTS and TEXMFSCRIPTS already had values:
LUAINPUTS = .;$TEXMF/scripts/{$progname,$engine,}/lua//;$TEXINPUTS
TEXMFSCRIPTS = $TEXMF/scripts/{$engine,$progname,}//
But I overwrote those to give them the values you recommended, to no
avail, unfortunately.

A command-line interface for that would be great, and so would a graphical tool. That's not a general solution, but if you need it for yourself, you can put the following to some file and execute it whenever you want: rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/context/beta/ /path/to/your/texmf/ rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/bin/luatex/linux/bin/ /path/to/your/binaries/ etc. There's a limited set of folders that you need to update, and it will only update new files, you don't need to update everything. Two questions: 1. What's the difference between getting the texmf tree using rsync, as you suggest, and using ctxtools --updatecontext? Are those equivalent? 2. It looks like the subdirectories that I want are common context luatex man metapost if I want to follow only luatex development. (The only subdirectories that aren't in that list are mswin, which doesn't apply to me, and pdftex and xetex.) I'd like to just put this on top of my TeXLive (2007) distribution. Once I copy thse binaries to my TeXLive binary directory, what's the next step? Do I need to rebuild the ConTeXt format, for example? What I'm looking for is a way to keep up-to-date with ConTeXt and LuaTeX development; I'd rather not keep a separate installation with all and only ConTeXt in it, together with a shell script that sets up *only* ConTeXt. I'm happy to keep up-to-date by overwriting the relevant parts of my TeXLive distribution with the freshest texmf and binaries. That way, within a single shell I can use the freshest ConTeXt as well as LaTeX and pacakges from the TeX Collection. Perhaps I am going against the intention of the minimal installation; but the discussion of how to get a minimal ConTeXt installation overlaps with the discussion of how to stay up-to-date. I'm more interested in the latter than the former. Perhaps the best thing for such a user would be to just track the TeXLive development tree using cvs or rsync. I'm curious to hear any suggetions.

And there's no need to. All errors and warnings output by gcc are intercepted and passed on to you via the graphical IDE and you won't lose a tiny bit of information. In fact you gain a lot when trying to track down a problem ... Furthermore, in my humble opinion interaction with TeX should concentrate on programming the actual typesetting language and not on fumbling around with dozens of configuration files ... for instance, if you develop applications you wouldn't want to reconfigure your compiler twice a week either but rather focus on the source code *you* write. Oliver Who said that the only way to properly interact with TeX is via the command line? What I said is: you can provide all the GUI tools you want, at some point (and this will be rather sooner than later) problems will crop up, and these problems will be impossible to resolve if you don't want to use the command line, don't want to learn about PATH settings, don't want to learn about where configuration files go and what they do. This may be different in, say 10 years, but it would be misleading to pretend that it is different today. TeXLive 2008 is just being tested, and in this regard, it's no better than its predecessors. Unless and until we have systems which will be easier to maintain, users who expect to be able to stay away from the CLI are bound to be disappointed. Your example about Apple's Xcode actually proves my point: I said that if you can afford to throw a couple of million $ and a dozen programmers at this, it is actually feasible (but will still take time). Apple has done just that; the Xcode IDE hasn't been built by volunteers in their spare time, now has it? So far, nobody has done anything similar for TeX, and I had the impression that the volunteer programmers who are actively contributing to it seem more interested in adding new features and improving the code than in adding a colorful pointy-clicky interface. But of course my impression could be wrong and someone is already building such a GUI as we speak... As for fumbling around with dozens of configuration files: such exaggerations are not very helpful in this discussion. Let me add that I have no aversion at all to using command line tools. The basis for my own comments in this thread do not lie in a preference for graphical tools, but rather for a straightforward way to stay up-to-date with the whole of ConTeXt in a way that ctxtools does not currently provide. A command-line interface for that would be great, and so would a graphical tool. I'm of course familiar with the minimals, but what's unpleasant about that approach to staying current with ConTeXt is that one has to put aside other installations. What I mean, more specifically, is that TeXlive is ignored. As far as I can see, I can't both use latex and the minimal ConTeXt in the same shell, because if I want to use the latter I can't use the former. For me an optimal solution would be a tool like, say, ctxtools --updatecontext, that combines downloading the latest binaries, fonts, and TeX code into one package, and overwrites the old contents in my TeXlive tree. A command-line tool to do that would certainly be appreciated. The discussion of environment variables leads me to wonder: is there a definitive discussion of these? I'm familiar with the TeXlive documentation, but what more should users know to gain a mastery of these variables in connection with ConTeXt?

I second Andrea's opinion -- I'm also looking forward to a straightforward way of updating ConTeXt and kin.

If you are using pdfTeX, you have to switch to an encoding that uses

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}]

[NTG-context] project structure and dissertations
I'm unsure about an aspect of The ConTeXt Way and its application to my
current situation: typesetting a dissertation, namely: how can I take
advantage of project sttructure?
It seems natural to regard the dissertation as a project and the
chapters as products (which sounds strange to my mind, in this case).
But then I have no idea what would correspond to components; it seems
like excessive, unnecessary structuring to regard sections of chapters
as components. And if sections aren't components, I don't know what
they would be.
Earlier messages on this mailing list suggest that projects aren't
supposed to be compiled; only components and products are supposed to be
compiled. This suggests that the whole dissertation not be a project;
clearly I would want to compile the whole dissertation.
Another approach would be to skip projects and stick with just products
and components. In this case, the whole dissertation would be a product
(which sounds right to me), and chapters would be components.
But then, if I follow that route, how would the logical structure
interact with the typographical structure (what is called
meta-structure in the ConTeXt manual)? I want to say something like
\startfrontmatter
\chapter{Preface}
\stopfrontmatter
\startbodymatter
\chapter{Introduction}
\stopbodymatter
\startappendices
\chapter{Complex Proof that was Skipped}
\stopappendices
\startbackmatter
\chapter{Colofon}
\stopbackmatter
in dissertation.tex, to indicate the typographical/meta structure. But then
where would the \component commands go? Would it look something like
this:
\startproductproduct dissertation
\startfrontmatter
\chapter{Preface}
\component{Preface}
\stopbodymatter
...
or would I somehow be able to refer to the whole text of the
preface and do something like
\startproduct dissertation
\component preface
\chapter{Preface}
\getbuffer{buf:preface}
\startfrontmatter
...
with the whole text of the preface in a buffer?
I would appreciate any advice!
Thanks,
Jesse

[NTG-context] a question about formula labels: letters preceding numbers
I'd like to typeset equations like these: some formula(S1) another formula (S2) From the documentation, I can see how to produce labels such as 1S, with the S following the equation number, but I don't yet see how to make the S come in front.

[NTG-context] \coloneqq
I'd like to use a colon-equals sign symbol to indicate a definition. According to The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List, this symbol is available in the txfonts (LaTeX) package. However, it seems that the txfonts support in ConTeXt doesn't contain that symbol. And, in any case, a search for \coloneqq on the wiki gave no results. Perhaps the symbol I want isn't called coloneqq in ConTeXt, or perhaps the symbol is currently missing. How can I get this symbol in my ConTeXt document?

Actually just adding overleftrightarrow is easy, but better will be an
interface to easily define such commands. So
If not, what can I do so that I can use it?
ConTeXt uses overleftarrow and overrightarrow as defined in plain
tex. This does not work in subscripts.
$\overleftarrow{A}$ $\overleftarrow{ABC}$
$a_{\overleftarrow{A}}$ $b_{\overleftarrow{ABC}}$
Here is a solution. First we patch math-ext so that arrowfills take a

[NTG-context] using a symbol from the wasy physics symbol set
I'd like to use the symbol varangle from the wasy physics symbol set. In my file I've got \usesymbols[was] \showsymbolset[wasy physics] $\symbol[varangle]$ In the PDF that's generated, I see the symbols in the wasy physics symbol set just fine, but following the symbol set table, I just see an OE ligature glyph. What might be going on? And is there any way I can use \varangle rather than \symbol[varangle] ?
