[NTG-context] \framed inside \startalignment\stopalignment

2009-12-08 Thread Alan BRASLAU
Strange behavior with \framed or \inframed
inside \startalignment [middle] \stopalignment.

Alan


Minimal example:

\starttext

\startalignment [middle]
\inframed {This {\bf should} be aligned and centered}
along with the following.
\stopalignment

\blank

\startalignment [middle]
Here,
\inframed {the entire line}
is centered.
\stopalignment

\blank

\startalignment [middle]
This is centered.\crlf
\inframed {This is now centered.}\crlf
This is centered.
\stopalignment

\stoptext

See also attached mail.

If you can connect to a machine on the outside world
that has nc and itself allows rsync.

  The other solutions (-e ssh) require having a login on contextgarden.net.
  So, now I can rsync with the minimals on the garden.

 Alan,

 thanks a lot for figuring that out. This should be documented on Wiki
 or in first-setup.sh.

 Just a question: what kind of server exactly does that proxyhost need to
 be?

The proxyhost can be any machine outside of the ssh firewall that
1) has nc (netcat)
2) allows a connection to port 873 (rsync)

 Not dozen, only   2~3 but code independent .My choices are

 They are all used / important for TeX community and printing house.

I understood that xpdf has been replaced by poppler, a rewritten PDF

This library is the motor behind the viewers evince (gnome) and okular (kde).

If this is different from the codebase used by luatex,
should luatex eventually be migrated to popplar?

 What is 'not'? If you means that the rest of the page looks
 crappy, that is known Acrobat behavior. If you want all pages
 to look the same (crappy) in AR, use \TransparancyHack.
 
 If there is no transparancy at all, then there could be a
 problem within mkiv or luatex.
 

No transparancy, or perhaps total transparancy, my test cannot tell
as I am using transparancy in metafun to produce a gradient
from .5white to black.

Printing the page under acroread then hangs.

P.S. looks OK under xpdf.

 Woah, that works (in MkIV). Thanks!

*Everywhere* the authors use \CONTEXT\ and \TeX\ followed by
an escaped space. (Is this space [sometimes] unbreakable?)

In my own texts, I often use {\TeX} as I find this not (too)
ugly. Also, I tend to make less mistakes with this method
(since it is very easy to forget the trailing backslash).

If \autoinsertnextspace is the right solution, perhaps this

This explains the use of the keyword orientation,

Should \externalfigure have an additional keyword
rotation to be interpreted independently of orientation?

 My ruby dist seems to work well in a nominal context. Is texutil fully

texutil --purgeallfiles
works fine here: debian sid amd64

I learned about selectors from this mailing list.
Before, I had used \nomarking{}, but I believe
that this has been eliminated in mkiv.
The selector mechanism is cleaner, and my use
is typically for figure and table captions.

I have no experience with \startchapter.

 I tried Metapost last year for a few graphs and liked the fact that it
 is tightly integrated with Context. I found John Hobby's document a
 good place to learn it and then used Hans' Metafun to learn further.
 The reason I am looking at Asymptote and pstricks is because they have
 libraries or functionality which Metapost lacks. For example, the tree
 drawing library in pstricks. If Metapost has such a library I don't
 know since I cannot find any document that explains the new things
 added to Metapost other than what is mentioned in Metafun(2001). As
 you said documentation is lacking.

pgf/tikz has a nice tree building function.
pgfplots is a fairly evolved and active data plotting package.


Concerning metapost,
graph.mp is pretty powerful, but is missing some functionality.
piechartmp is also available (although I never use pie charts!)
featpost and mp3d give some nice, basic, 3d capability.
metagraph, metaobj, ...

It would be interesting to see a good tree drawing macro package
under metapost; I have yet to take the time to see what is out there.

The ConTeXt community (and via the minimals distribution) can keep
this active... So much to do!

 Alan, the tikz module does not work with MKIV. From what I have read
 before, it seems it will not unless the creator of tikz makes some
 changes to tikz package so that it works with Context. I am not sure
 how likely that is.
 

I know that tikz is (currently) not working under mkiv, but I choose to ignore 
this as I expect that this will be fixed. I have not been concerned with this, 
as I no longer actively use tikz. Indeed, since learning (and still learning) 
metapost, I find it far superior: cleaner syntax, much more powerful... Tikz 
is/was a very welcome addition to laTeX, but metapost, whose syntax is more 
closely related to plain TeX, is more coherent with ConTeXt. So I now find the 
syntax of tikz uncomfortable under ConTeXt.

I still sometimes use LaTeX for the submission of articles to scientific 
journals (in particular using RevTeX), but I now use ConTeXt 
(\startTEXpage\stopTEXpage) to make the figures (that must be submitted as 
separate files in any case).

Alan

P.S. What I really liked about tikz is the quality of its documentation, in 
particular the tutorial that is very clear. The documentation for metapost 
(and metafun) is very good, but not so easy. *We* need to write a good 
tutorial!

  I noticed that after \placefigure the first paragraph of body text

 \setupfloat[figure][indentnext=yes]
 

I have also noticed that \placefigure inserts a (line) break, that is, a 
\placefigure somewhere in the middle of a paragraph adds a break in the line 
(as would \crlf). Is this to be the expected default behavior, and is there an 
option to \setupfloat that controls this?

If so, would this get broken by [indentnext=yes]?

I would expect the default behavior be
1) not to break the line
and
2) to respect \setupindenting

 These are in fact the excact same rules that you have to adhere to in

As has been clearly pointed out by this exchange:

- ConTeXt MKIV is a working system, but is not quite as stable.
It is under active development, and this mailing list is
principally active concerning this development. It is therefore
quite appropriate that current postings turn around features
that are not (yet) as well documented as stable MKII.
So you should not be surprised to find that the use of cutting edge
technology gives many exciting new functionality, but one must be willing
to put up with some rough edges.

This is why, for example, the Debian project has very appropriately
named its releases stable, testing and unstable (as well as
experimental). Unstable sometimes breaks, but usually this lasts
only a couple of hours (occasionally a couple of days for less
important problems).

Alan

P.S. I just spent several hours using Microsoft Word
to edit a bunch of administrative documents. The task
would have taken 10 minutes or so using ConTeXt and
my usual tools (there were many repetitive edits).
This was a *horrible* experience and I simply cannot
fathom how one can be satisfied with such a work tool!
(Here, I had no choice.)

I asked this question recently and was told that it was

My experience is that mkiv is not totally stable,
but almost so. I try to use it for my production
as much as possible. For the core of the commands,
the two are interchangable and it is simply a question
of using the context script or the texexec script
(but don't include a
% output=pdftex
line in your source file!)
For specific differences, you can use
\doifmodeelse{mkiv}{ }{ } 

This also answers 2.

 3. What *reference* material exists? I do not need a user guide. Right
 now it has been Google. However, the solutions most recently mentioned
 on the mailing lists seem to dead-end. I am fine with an answer of see
 the source code if that is really it.

Did you look at the user guide? It is a reference manual
http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/cont-eni.pdf
http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/cont-enp.pdf
The first is a screen version, the second a paper format.

Re: [NTG-context] Page Numbering Hell

2009-10-21 Thread Alan BRASLAU
Dear Bryant,

Your post is slightly exaggerated.
The document structure that you want to produce
appears to be relatively standard. Whereas,
indeed, the learning curve for ConTeXt (as for TeX)
can be somewhat slow, the richness and powerfulness
is well worth the effort.

The documentation for ConTeXt (mkii) is quite rich,
although it did take me some time to get used to
the presentation and style. Some of the syntax
has evolved in mkiv, mostly in an effort of
simplification, but also to allow some powerful
new features. The documentation is (slowly)
being updated, as this is a tremendous effort.
But it is a necessary effort. I believe that
all of us users will appreciate the updated
reference manual when it is completed!

A notable change between mkii and mkiv
is the handling of document structure.
I, too, have had a difficult time with this evolution
of such a fundamental functionality and will
therefore let someone more expert reply to
your request with specific examples on how
to tune the style, notably page numbering;
it should be a simple matter.

 All-
 
 A few days ago when I first stumbled on ConTeXt I was very, very
 excited. I have some 500 pages of technical documentation that could
 benefit from this, particularly since I need Japanese font support. But
 it has to be real.
 
 I'm sorry if this sounds caustic, but after 12 hours of failed attempts
 to even get a minimal document formatted I have some serious questions
 for the list:
 
 1.   Is Mark IV real? I am only somewhat joking here - after
 spending hours searching for reasonable documentation on even the most
 trivial options, I am left wondering whether this is something I want to
 use...
 
 2.   ConTeXt looks great. But what is current? Seriously, I like the
 look and the support (particularly Unicode). But going over
 documentation I cannot make heads or tails of what to do. Mark II? Mark
 IV? TeTeX? LuaTeX? If I really want to use this, what should I use?
 
 3.   Having answered #2, where in the world is a reference manual!!!
 I mean one that actually *documents the options*.
 
 4.   Having answered #3, are there any current examples that
 actually work? The snippets from the mailing are great, but they are
 just snippets. That doesn't help me.
 
 Now, to resolve my immediate issue, and just because I will not be able
 to sleep well until I figure this out (yes, I am fixated on this).
 
 I want this document structure:
 
 Contents
 
 1.   Chapter   1-1
 
 1.1 Section 1-2
 
 2.   Chapter 2  2-1
 
 2.1 Section 2-2
 
 
 Table of contents on page i.
 Even/odd, each chapter starts on right page.
 Page number (as in 2-2) in top margin.
 Mark IV, Lua document.
 
 I have tried hundreds of different combinations. If it cannot do this,
 the I will (with sadness) move on. I'm sure that it would take someone
 who understands this about 5 minutes to write (if that).

[NTG-context] obscure luatex error

2009-10-15 Thread Alan BRASLAU
In trying to compile a LARGE project (585 pages, 260 figures, 27 tables, 
indexing, bibliography, ...), I produce an obscure luatex error:

luatex: ../../../source/texk/web2c/luatexdir/tex/printing.c:266: print: 
Assertion `c  256' failed.
[329.327MTXrun | fatal error, no return code, message: luatex: execution 
interrupted

probably due to a floatblock or other buffer overflow, I suspect.  For if I 
remove about half of the chapters from the project, it will compile.

Latest minimals distribution:
ConTeXt  ver: 2009.10.02 13:14 MKIV  fmt: 2009.10.15  int: english/english
mkiv lua stats : luatex banner - this is luatex, version 
beta-0.43.0-2009081914 
I have tried both amd64 and i386, and both fail at the same point, so it is 
not a problem of (dynamic) memory allocation (there is more available on the 
first machine).

The full project compiles under mkii but systematically fails under mkiv.

Unfortunately, I cannot produce a minimal example...

Can someone suggest how I should proceed, such as any configuration file that 
can be tuned... ?

Thanks

Re: [NTG-context] alpha release

2009-07-19 Thread Alan BRASLAU
Hi experts,

Would someone please provide a basic recipe to correctly install the new alpha 
release locally.  I would like to test the new alpha code but am a bit 
confused as to what exactly to install and how.


1. on the website, is this indeed
http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-tmf.zip
as
http://www.pragma-ade.com/download-3.htm
currently lists as (not available)?

Should this be unzipped under /usr/local/context.alpha/tex/texmf-context
for example?


2. no beta as mkiv needs the trunk version of luatex
Does this mean
http://foundry.supelec.fr/gf/download/frsrelease/350/1332/luatex-
snapshot-0.42.0.tar.bz2
to be compiled and then somehow installed into the local tree.

From luatex-snapshot-0.42.0/INSTALL

 Post-compilation installation should be a simple matter
 of copying the executable to a normal place for web2c
 binaries and generating the desired formats.
 
 You may want to install the executable under the names
 'texlua' and 'texluac' as well (create a copy or symlink)

I currently work with the contextgarden minimals.
Under the minimals, these are located at
tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/texlua
tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/texluac
on my machine.


Sorry for such basic questions.

Thanks

Alan

 Hi

 I've put an alpha release on the website

 - no beta as mkiv needs the trunk version of luatex

 - cleaned up mkiv code
 - cleaned up mkiv backend (some pending issues)
 - some speedups in mkiv
 - a few fixes in mkii
 - updated mkiv typescripts (more to come)
 - fixes in mkiv structure

 this version is not replicated on the context garden as we run older
 luatex binaries there (0.45 release by the end of this month)

 you can unzip this file on your locla tree but best first rename the
 tex/context/base directory and make a fresh one as otherwise you end up
 with a weird mixture (due to the definitive split in .mkii/.mkiv there
 are not that many shared .tex files any more)

 on the upcoming tex live there will be an updated mkii (either this one
 or the current beta which is basically a current for mkii) and an old
 mkiv (maybe the beta) or a new one but that one will not run then with
 the luatex on texlive as it is too old; this is no big deal as you can
 either use the minimals or use the new updater in the upcoming tex live
 to fetch newer binaries (norbert and mojca showed that trickery at
 bachotek 2009)

 next on the mkiv agenda is an upgrade/rework of everything related to
 page building but it might as well be postponed till we have a bit more
 access (which will happen sometime after eurotex); the first priority is
 to get the new structure related code right but as idris is already
 publising books made by mkiv it's not that bad as it sounds.

Re: [NTG-context] mkiv structure

2009-07-03 Thread Alan BRASLAU
In my experience, a \part is generally
(except in some rather technical documents)
not treated as a super-chapter, that is
chapter numbers (and titles) are not reset
and retain their status as if the book was not
divided into parts.

A very long work is commonly broken into volumes.
Here, each volume may or may not reset chapter numbers.
Page numbering may or may not reflect the volume number.
This is a sylistic choice.

In my understanding, \part serves to delimit
logical sections of related chapters, not volumes.
Maybe I am wrong in this interpretation;
maybe \part is to be used to delimit volumes.
Nevertheless, it should be relatively simple
for the basic user to be able to select the desired behavior
without having to acquire an understanding of the inner workings

[NTG-context] references (mainlanguage)

2009-07-02 Thread Alan BRASLAU
First question:
Should the reference labels follow \mainlanguage?
(in the example below [fr], by chance, \in{figure} might seem OK,
but not \in{chapter}!)

Second question:
How can one \Cap{\in{figure}}?

Third question:
Why is the chapter label text blank by default?

Thanks.
Alan

Minimal example:

\mainlanguage[fr]

\setupinteraction[state=start]
\setuplabeltext[chapter=Chaptre ] % why is this not by default?
\starttext

\chapter[ch:first]{Premier}
\placefigure[here][fig:1-1] {}{}
\chapter[ch:second]{Second}

Structuring has changed significantly in mkiv and many examples from mkii are 
handled differently (structure sets). Unfortunately, I have yet to figure it 
out 
as the documentation is behind and the little information that I have gathered

 no surprise, as math has its own spacing model so it all depends on the

I do not have any strong feelings about this, but do believe that ~ has 
always provided an unbreakable white space in TeX, both in text and math mode.

For example (under linux), it can be as simple as setting up the file

[NTG-context] mtxrun initialization bug

2009-05-20 Thread Alan BRASLAU
I did a fresh install of the minimals today and observed a fleeting, obscure 
mtxrun bug:
$ context myfile
did not find the script mtx-context.lua
$ mtxrun --script /usr/local/context/tex/texmf-context/\
scripts/context/lua/mtx-context.lua myfile
ran fine, as now does all subsequent runs of context myfile.
So something gets initialized, but is not found by default.
You will only notice this upon a (totally) fresh install.

 columns and columnset are two different mechanism two produce a document

 one column and multicolumns text on a page. columnsets are a new version

 more)
 and is better suited for magazine like layouts (Vit Zyka posted a few

Great! This is somewhat what I suspected (columns mechanism is the older one). 
Is there good reason to keep both mechanisms? That is, does the startcolumns 
mechanism have advantages? Can't one mix one column and multicolumns text on a 
page using columnsets?

  (*and the wiki page needs to be clarified...)

 the wiki is from users for users, feel free to correct the articles

Of course, as soon as I feel that I understand the subject.

  Second question, maybe a bug?
  \startitemize[columns] does not interact well:
  I suspect that it could or should use paragraphs internally rather
  than
  columns so as to work within a column(set).

 that's a limitation in tex, when you use the 'columns' key for itemize
 the items are typeset with a \startcolumns / \stopcolumns before and
 after the environment and you can nest columns /columnset environments
 (a tex limitation) but in normal one column text this is not the case
 and you can use multicolumn items in most cases but you can

 \startcolumns
 \startsimplecolumns
 \startitemize
 \item one
 \item two
 ...
 \stopitemize
 \stopsimplecolumns
 \stopcolumns

page-mul.tex
...
%D Undocumented and still under development.
\def\startsimplecolumns
...

May I suggest that \startitemize[columns] internally use such a mechanism, 
perhaps when under a columns or columnset environment. Of course, this may be 
a bit tricky according to the following remark:

 (in a few cases streamlayer are necessary, e.g. within framedtext)

Indeed!
Inside framed text I used paragraphs to manually typset into columns; now I 
get to learn about streamlayers...

[NTG-context] columns(ets) and itemize[columns]

2009-05-17 Thread Alan BRASLAU
Hello,

I just completed a big project making heavy use of columnset, columnsetspan 
and paragraphs. Very powerful!

Two questions, first:
What is the real difference between columns and columnset?
I am a bit confused* about their coexistence. Is this purposeful or necessary 
(or is it simply historical)? Is \startcolumns simply an unnamed, default 
columnset?

(*and the wiki page needs to be clarified...)

Second question, maybe a bug?
\startitemize[columns] does not interact well:
I suspect that it could or should use paragraphs internally rather than 
columns so as to work within a column(set).

Minimal example:

\starttext

\startitemize[columns] \item first \item second \item third \stopitemize

\startcolumns[n=2]

\startitemize[columns] \item forth \item fifth \item sixth \stopitemize

\column

\startitemize[columns] \item seventh \item eighth \item nineth \stopitemize

\stopcolumns

\stoptext

Gives something like:

•_first_•_third
•_second

•_forth•_seventh
•_fifth_•_eighth
•_sixth•_nineth

Whereas I was expecting:

•_first_•_third
•_second

•_forth__•_sixth___•_seventh_•_nineth
•_fifth_•_eighth

[NTG-context] ppchtex color

2009-05-12 Thread Alan BRASLAU
No, ppchtex is not dead...

I would like to use color.

1. color= and rulecolor= does not appear to be implemented (mkiv)...
2. how can one change the color of the bonds?
3. using \color[red]{} causes the text to be offset.

minimal example:

\setupcolors[state=start]
\usemodule[chemic]
\starttext

\startchemical
\chemical[ONE,SB,Z0][C]
\stopchemical

\startchemical
\color[red]{\chemical[ONE,SB,Z0][C]}
\stopchemical
% text C is offset...

\startchemical
\chemical[ONE,SB,Z0][{\red C}]
\stopchemical
% OK, but I would like to draw the bonds as well in red.

\startchemical[color=red]
\chemical[ONE,SB,Z0][C]
\stopchemical
% C is red in mkii, black in mkiv

\startchemical[rulecolor=red]
\chemical[ONE,SB,Z0][C]
\stopchemical
% bonds are black, C is red in mkii, black in mkiv

\stoptext

discussion:

I understand the difference between \framed{} and \inframed{}
\mframed{} is another flavor. Try the following test:

\starttext
$A = B + C$
$A = B + \framed{C}$
$A = B + \mframed{C}$
$A = B + \inframed{C}$
$A = B + \inframed{$C$}$

Maybe the last case could equivalently be written:
$A = B + \imframed{C}$
or
$A = B + \minframed{C}$ (see core-rul.mki[iv])

Of course, one can also play around between \startformula \stopformula 
pairs...

Why all of these different macros? Why not only one \framed{} with options 
inline=yes and math=yes, for example? (Or are there related programming 
complications?).

2009-04-01 Thread Alan BRASLAU
MP graph works with latest minimals beta in mkii, broken in mkiv.
Minimal example:

\startuseMPgraphic{test}
input graph
draw begingraph(3in,2in);
  gdraw agepopm.d;
  endgraph;
\stopuseMPgraphic

\starttext
\useMPgraphic{test}
\stoptext

(Of course, you know where to find agepopm.d)

Two first, immediate impressions:

1)

\setupTitle[ afterauthor={institute\crlf}, ]

But wouldn't it be generally useful to include institute= as standard
with institutestyle=, institutecolor=, institutealign=,

Re: [NTG-context] Dividing dimensions

Can someone explain this?
The solutions posted in lua seem more complicated
than that using \dimexpr

I will add further examples to

(or someone else can do this directly, of course)
once I understand the advantages and limitations.

   LaTeX has a package to do exactly that, fp.  You could look into its

 It's easy to do with etex but I would use lua if possible

A few points are broken, though,

 Only dimensions are allowed for the distance key and this
 is also what you can get from the error message.

Re: [NTG-context] 1/2 symbol

2009-03-04 Thread Alan BRASLAU
If you use the Unicode Hex Input keyboard layout: press the Option key and 
enter four hex digits to specify the hex code of any glyph.

Also, under any layout, when used with other keys, the Option key produces 
special symbols. The Keyboard Viewer, which users can add to the Input menu in 
the International pane of System Preferences, shows which keys generate each 
symbol. I do not know if ½ is included under what layout.

Under X11, this is as simple as COMPOSE+1+2. I do not know how this can be 
configured on the Mac.

 I kind of expect a few problems. current will probably break now - I
 doubt that it still works with the latest luatex. beta might be
 unsynchronised for some time and math is not completely polished yet.

Do WE think that it is OK to go away leaving new math not compeletely polished?

 I would say: if you have some critical project: do not try to update

This package may have a small user base, but it appears to be rather

Note, however, that I am not a chemist and so do not write very many

 As long as 2*2~=3, this will not be possible. I would do (pseudo-code,  
 untested)
 
 \startcombination[1*2]
   \startcombination[2*1]
   figure 1
   figure 2
   \stopcombination
   figure 3
 \stopcombination

Tested:

\starttext

\startcombination[1*2]
\startcombination[2*1]
{1}{(1)}
{2}{(2)}
\stopcombination
{3}{(3)}
\stopcombination

\startcombination[2*1]
\startcombination[2*1]
{1}{(1)}
{2}{(2)}
\stopcombination
{3}{(3)}
\stopcombination

\stoptext


The first appears to give a reasonable result,
but the second gives exactly the same as the first.
I do not believe that combinations can be recursive...
