[NTG-context] MKIV: Wrong conversion for \date

2011-04-04 Thread Wolfgang Schuster
Hi Hans,

there are a few problems with the keywords for \date in MkIV.

\starttext

\starttabulate[|l|l|l|]
\NC keyword  \NC MkII \NC MKIV   \NC\NR
\NC day  \NC 4\NC \currentdate[day]  \NC\NR
\NC day+ \NC 4\NC \currentdate[day+] \NC\NR
\NC month\NC April\NC \currentdate[month]\NC\NR
\NC year \NC 2011 \NC \currentdate[year] \NC\NR
\NC d\NC 4\NC \currentdate[d]\NC\NR
\NC d+   \NC 4\NC \currentdate[d+]   \NC\NR
\NC m\NC April\NC \currentdate[m]\NC\NR
\NC j\NC 2011 \NC \currentdate[j]\NC\NR
\NC y\NC 2011 \NC \currentdate[y]\NC\NR
\NC w\NC Monday   \NC \currentdate[w]\NC\NR
\NC dd   \NC 04   \NC \currentdate[dd]   \NC\NR
\NC dd+  \NC 4\NC \currentdate[dd+]  \NC\NR
\NC mm   \NC 04   \NC \currentdate[mm]   \NC\NR
\NC jj   \NC 11   \NC \currentdate[jj]   \NC\NR
\NC yy   \NC 11   \NC \currentdate[yy]   \NC\NR
\NC weekday  \NC Monday   \NC \currentdate[weekday]  \NC\NR
\NC referral \NC 20110404 \NC \currentdate[referral] \NC\NR
\stoptabulate

\stoptext

What i miss is also a way to get the month with a single digit, e.g. 

  \currentdate[day,.,month,.,year]

print “4.April.2011” but i want “4.4.2011”.

[NTG-context] sorted data in mkiv

2009-05-21 Thread Johan Sandblom
I am writing a booklet for use by junior doctors at the hospital where
I work. It will contain random bits of data that is available from
various online sources such as phone numbers, dosages of exotic drugs,
referral routes and assorted things better written down than
remembered. Much of it is in tabular form, and I have so far used
natural tables. It is intended to be extremely compact so I make many
adjustments to save space, such as using multiple columns where
appropriate.

Some of the things listed would benefit from being sorted such as
phone numbers, but I would still like it to be presented in a table
(with the added complication that the table will have two columns of
names}. Using pseudocode I would like it to work like this:

\phone{person c}{54321, 12345}
\phone{clinic a}{12345, 54321}
\phone{clinic c}{54321, 12345}
\phone{person b}{12345}
\phone{clinic b}{12345}
\phone{person a}{12345}

This should automatically be converted to

\bTABLE
\bTR\bTD person a\eTD\bTD 12345\eTD\bTD clinic a\eTD\bTD 12345, 54321\eTD\eTR
\bTR\bTD person b\eTD\bTD 12345\eTD\bTD clinic b\eTD\bTD 12345\eTD\eTR
\bTR\bTD person c\eTD\bTD 54321, 12345\eTD\bTD clinic c\eTD\bTD 54321,
12345\eTD\eTR
\eTABLE

presumably using something like

1. name and number added to a register
2. register is sorted on first field
3. t = total number of entries in register
4. l = number of lines in table, calculated as l=t\2 + t mod 2
3. create a table with l lines where each line has
  \bTR\bTD name(i) \eTD\bTD phone(i)\eTD\bTD name(i+l)\eTD\bTD phone(i+l)\eTR

It would not surprise me if this is implemented somewhere in ConTeXt
but I have been unable to find it. I would be very happy to see a
solution using lua, but I lack the knowledge to implement it myself.

Re: [NTG-context] Doc to ConTeXt [was Re: HTML to ConTeXt]

2007-11-09 Thread Saji Njarackalazhikam Hameed
Hi Andrea,

I face a similar issue while organizing large-scale documents
prepared by members of my group (many folks are not conversant
with TeX here and write documents with WORD). My solution was to take their
input through a wiki and convert the HTML to context markup
using filters written with ruby (also see 
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/HTML_and_ConTeXt). Converting
HTML syntax to ConTeXt syntax is very do-able. 

If it is of any use, I attach the ruby filters I use for
my purpose. BTW, I use a ruby library called hpricot to ease
some of these conversions.

[NTG-context] Version Numbers in Download File Names

2006-07-12 Thread Matthias Wächter
Hi!

Pardon me for requesting more support from pragma-ade prior to ever using the 
mailing list for general support questions. Maybe I should post this one 
directly to Hans but others might be interested in this issue as well.

Despite my little but growing knowledge of Context I am currently evaluating 
its suitability for document building in our company (our workflow is currently 
Latex-based). A prime aspect of our company's work is to follow well-defined 
processes, and as part of that, we have to be able to refer to specific 
versions of applications that are used in the development of our projects. When 
used, this would apply to Context as well.

Obviously, downloading from pragma-ade gives version numbers only on the entry 
pages like http://www.pragma-ade.nl/download-1.htm next to the links to the 
files, but the package files themselves like 
http://www.pragma-ade.nl/context/current/cont-tmf.zip don't have versioned 
names (not mentioning that Context and its modules actually _do_ report version 
numbers as dates upon use).

Is there a strong motivation against having versioned package file names, 
possibly with some months/years of history? Has this support feature ever been 
considered by pragma-ade or asked for by their (non-)paying customers? Or is 
this archive available but I am unable to find it? ;)

Just an example:

Instead of
http://www.pragma-ade.nl/context/current/cont-tmf.zip

use a browseable directory like http://www.pragma-ade.nl/context/archive/ 
containint files like
http://www.pragma-ade.nl/context/archive/cont-tmf-20060518.zip
http://www.pragma-ade.nl/context/archive/cont-tmf-20060601.zip
http://www.pragma-ade.nl/context/archive/cont-tmf-20060629.zip

and possibly set /context/current/cont-tmf.zip as an internal file system link 
to the latest file in /context/archive/ for those interested only in the latest 
version. The proposed method could be applied to all other download files as 
well.

That way and as long as the archive files are available, a precise version of 
Context could be fetched from pragma-ade's server without maintaining a local 
versioned archive of cont.tmf.zip etc. Referral to a specific version of 
Context would be a lot easier, and documenting the tools used for a project 
would be a lot simpler. A common understanding of a Context version, reflected 
in its package file name, would reduce the effort of those responsible for 
local version control and install package maintenance.

Thanks,
- Matthias

here we seldom use specific version; we do have project specific minimal 
trees because different projects demand different commercial fonts, and 
there are situations where experimental features are used that are not 
yet stable.

on a local ox one can do things like:

/distributions/context-20050518/

which we initialize with setuptex (see minimal distribution) and or by 
using texmfstart --tree (see manual)

taco has a complete archive
 Just an example:

 Instead of
 http://www.pragma-ade.nl/context/current/cont-tmf.zip

 use a browseable directory like http://www.pragma-ade.nl/context/archive/ 
 containint files like
 http://www.pragma-ade.nl/context/archive/cont-tmf-20060518.zip
 http://www.pragma-ade.nl/context/archive/cont-tmf-20060601.zip
 http://www.pragma-ade.nl/context/archive/cont-tmf-20060629.zip

 and possibly set /context/current/cont-tmf.zip as an internal file system 
 link to the latest file in /context/archive/ for those interested only in the 
 latest version. The proposed method could be applied to all other download 
 files as well.
   
although windows (on which we develop context) provides different link 
systems i seldom use them; also, the server has just a copy of my local 
stuff and not more;
 That way and as long as the archive files are available, a precise version of 
 Context could be fetched from pragma-ade's server without maintaining a local 
 versioned archive of cont.tmf.zip etc. Referral to a specific version of 
 Context would be a lot easier, and documenting the tools used for a project 
 would be a lot simpler. A common understanding of a Context version, 
the toolkit is upward compatible as much as possible (at least in 
functional terms); the most sensitive parts of tex setups are the fonts 
(but that will simplify in the near future with new versions of pdftex 
and open type)
 reflected in its package file name, would reduce the effort of those 
 responsible for local version control and install package maintenance.
   
taco maintains a svn repository on the gforce server at superlec ; in principle 
one can rebuild older versions from there

however, the best way to archive is to use the minimal distributions (or   your 
own ones built of them) because context files are just part of the story: 
fonts, patterne etc also play a role; 

in a year or so, you we hope to be able to run dirtectly from zip files, which 
makes live even more simple
