Is ruby stable with respect to system calls? Is the behaviour
consistent on Linux and Windows? Are there active Ruby users on the
list who can comment on this?
I have debugged my recent failure of metapost graphics to using
one-click installer (RC2) for windows. From tex.rb
report(command) if getvariable('verbose')
ok = system(command)
if ok && File.appended(mptex, "\\end\n") then
This is failing on my system. Can others using windows test this.
1. Create a file called mp-test-01.mp
mp-test-01.mp
beginfig(1)
label(btex This is a test etex, origin)
endfig;
end
--
2. Create a file called test.rb
---test.rb-
def test(command)
puts command
puts Kernel.system(command)
puts $?
puts "---"
end
test("mpto mp-test-01.mp")
test("mpto mp-test-01.mp > mp-test-01-test.tex")
-
3. Go to cmd.exe and source setuptex.bat.
4. What is the output of
ruby --version
ruby test.rb
I get.
F:\tmp\cont-test\test>ruby --version
ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i386-mswin32]
F:\tmp\cont-test\test>ruby test.rb

\gdef\stopmpxshipout{\egroup \dimen0=\ht0 \advance\dimen0\dp0

\setbox0=\hbox\bgroup

\fi\egroup
\ht0=0pt \dp0=0pt \box0 \egroup}
\mpxshipout% line 2 mp-test-01.mp
This is a test\stopmpxshipout
\end{document}
true
0
---
mpto mp-test-01.mp > mp-test-01-test.tex
false
0
---
Notice that the second test is failing. So, in tex.rb, the system
command fails and I do not get mp-test-01-test.tex file! Can anyone
else using one-click installer for ruby on windows confirm this?
Thanks,
Aditya

Very nice feature!
What about
\select[caption]{zapf}{\input zapf \relax}
syntax instead? (You're the boss and the designer, but square brackets
seem more consistent with other ConTeXt commands; at least to me.)

But as a side effect (not introduced by the patch) it seems that putting footnotes in a term sets a fixed width to this term: in the example the term wraps, even if I set width=broad in the description definition. If the term does not contain a footnote, it is not wrapped. Regards, BG ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

It also makes the indentation of a hanging description put in an itemize more consistent. BTW, I wonder if it should not be also applied to location=left.

Re: [NTG-context] ConTeXt + MetaUML
Hi all,
Ovidiu Gheorghies has sent to me an intermediate-release yesterday,
I'll test it and if same problems occur I'll try to modify the metauml
structure by myself in interaction with Ovidiu (according th Hans's
advice).
I'll do that as soon as I have the time... ;)
Cheers,
Renaud

Hi Hans,
The example with clearboxes's crash:
this is probably due to the fact that clearboxes hooks into endfig
\setupoutput[pdftex]
\starttext
\startMPinclusions
input boxes;
\stopMPinclusions
\startuseMPgraphic{my_uml_figure}
input metauml;
Class.A("Point")
("+x: int",
"+y: int") ();
Class.B("Circle")
("radius: int")
("+getRadius(): int",
"+setRadius(r: int):void");
topToBottom(45)(A, B);
drawObjects(A, B);
clink(aggregationUni)(A, B);
\stopuseMPgraphic
\placefigure[here]{none}{\useMPgraphic{my_uml_figure}}
\stoptext
this only works when in boxes.mp, we have:
extra_beginfig := extra_beginfig
& "boxjoin();save pic_,sproc_,pproc_;def clearboxes=enddef;";
extra_endfig := extra_endfig & " clearboxes";
(space added before clearboxes in string)
(maybe i should clean up boxes.mp and preload that in metafun if only i
know what it's meant for)
i suggest that you contact the author of metauml:
- rename the util_* files into metauml_util_* in order to prevent
clashes with other util_* files
- load all files into the main file, so that you get rid of the
redundant file reads (loading quits when the files are already
loaded,but best do some testing before they are input)
- provide a metauml_preload.mp file that preloads e.g. boxes.mp so that
you can do
\startMPinclusions
input metauml_preload;
\stopMPinclusions
\startuseMPgraphic{my_uml_figure}
input metauml;
\stopuseMPgraphic
- provide "load_metauml" that loads once only, so that you can do
\startMPinclusions
input metauml_preload;
\stopMPinclusions
\startuseMPgraphic{my_uml_figure}
load_metauml;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\startuseMPgraphic{my_second_uml_figure}
load_metauml;
\stopuseMPgraphic
and get only one load when you collect graphics instead of runtime
processing

I've been staring at this for a while now. I would have expected
this to work:
\setuptyping
[before={\startframedtext
[width=fit,align=lohi,frame=off,location=middle]},
after={\stopframedtext}]
\starttyping
bla bla bla
bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
\stoptyping
but it doesn't.
