[NTG-context] CoNTeXt on Mac OS X with iinstaller still broken
Dear Mac-ConTeXt users (and other experts),
I typically upgrade my least used Mac (my laptop) to the newest
ConTeXt release first, and
only go ahead with the desktop when my projects compile fine.
Otherwise, I usually wait until the more proficient users have sorted
things out.
Now, for a while, the iinstaller ConTeXt version has been broken.
While there have been
numerous reports and workaround and fixes on this list, it would be
most convenient
to have iinstaller working again (or another foolproof solution).
For reference, I attach the log file for
\starttext
ffi
\stoptext
which shows that ligatures aren't shown.
Thanks in advance!
Matthias

[NTG-context] Specifying maximum width of a frame
Hi,
I want to specify the maximum width of a frame. If the size of the
box is smaller than the maximum width, I want a tight box. Something
like
\frame[maxwidth=5cm,align=middle]{Small} should give
+-+
|small|
+-+
while \frame[maxwidth=5cm,align=middle]{A very very long line that is
split at 5cm} should give
+--+
| A very very long |
| line that is split |
| at 5cm |
+--+
Is there something builtin that does this, or do I need to play with

[NTG-context] mathsize
When doing inline math I see that the mathsize does adapt when \tfa, \tfb, etc are used, but not for \tfx and \tfxx. That seems strange to me, because in the manual in the font table \tfx \tfxx \tfa etc. are advertised as equivalent operations. It also accounts for a lot more typing (and mistakes).Why is the behaviour different? And if it is not on purpose, can it be remedied then?A minimal example:\starttext {\tfc tfc 123 and \$ tfc: $123$ \$}\crlf{\tfb tfb 123 and \$ tfb: $123$ \$}\crlf{\tfa tfa 123 and \$ tfa: $123$ \$}\crlf{normal 123 en \$ normal: $123$ \$}\crlf{\tfx tfx 123 and \$ not tfx: $123$ \$}\crlf % math does not adapt size{\tfx tfx 123 and \$ again tfx: $\tfx 123$ \$}\crlf{\tfxx tfxx 123 and \$ not tfxx: $123$ \$}\crlf % math does not adapt size{\tfxx tfxx 123 and \$ again tfxx: $123$ \$}\crlf% the next does work as expected:\def\smallsize{\switchtobodyfont[9pt]}{\smallsize smallsize 123 and \$ smallsize: $123$ \$}\crlf Hans van der Meer ___

I don't know anything about Chineese, but which platform and which distribution are you using? Because it might be far easier to get Chineese working with XeTeX than with pdfTeX. In that case you don't need dozens of those (soon-to-become-obsolete) .map, .tfm and .enc files. (and you don't need that ruby script) XeTeX is runnung on Mac OS X for quite some time now, on Linux since end of April and on Windows for some days or weeks (not officially released yet). If you have Mac you can use i-Installer for installing XeTeX, on Linux it might be easiest to use linuxtex.zip and justtex.zip from pragma-ade.com. If you're on Windows I can send you some instructions how to install it (you basically only need to copy binaries and configuration files from xetex-w32.tar.bz to the proper place in the TeX tree), but I guess that XeTeX could (will?) be included in the standalone ConTeXt distribution without much trouble. In that case the whole story reduces to installing the fonts to your system (you probably already have them installed) and: texexec --xtx --make --all fc-cache -v -f and the Hello-world example being just something like % typescripts should be used here, but for hello-world this should suffice \font\MyFont=Arial Unicode MS % or name of some other font that you want to use \MyFont \starttext your-chineese-text \stoptext texexec --xtx yourfile Mojca ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

[NTG-context] Ugly hack for multiple MSWord docs.
Frequently I find myself in the position of needing to combine
several MSWord and/or rtf documents into a single file for either
pdftex or Context. I have settled on this strategy.
1. If necessary I convert the documents to rtf with Open Ofice
Writer.
2. I convert the resulting rtf documents to LaTeX using rtf2latex2e.
3. I need to rename some of the LaTeX commands to their plain
TeX or Context equivalents, and simply ignore others. Instead of
editing each and every occurrence, I add the following to my
macros.tex file which heads up the document:
\def\documentclass{}
\def\newcommand{}
\def\usepackage{}
\def\tab{}
\def\hspace{}
\def\begin{}
\def\end{}
\def\textbf#1{\bf #1}
\def\nobreakspace{~}
\def\underline{}
\def\newpage{}
\def\textmd#1{\rm #1}
\def\textit#1{\it #1}
\def\large{\tfb}
\def\reg{\rm\char174\ }
\def\textregistered{\reg}
--
I create a master file that calls in each of the .tex files
and compile the whole goulash. If I missed a latex tag then I add
it to my \defs shown above and recompile until I get a
clean run. Now I have a readable pdf file and can start correcting
the format.
The scattered Latex tags give me hints where centering etc. might
be needed even though the tags are inoperative in Context, thanks
to my nullifying \def statements shown above.
Someday there will be an elegant solution to the MSWord to
Context problem. For now there is my ugly hack as described here.

[NTG-context] texmfstart trouble
Recently I reported 2 problems related to metapost usage:1. the loss of transparent color handling2. textext not being able to handle %'s as in textext("15\%")The source of both problems can be nailed down to the one change in supp-mps.tex:\ifx\TEXEXECcommand \undefined \def\TEXEXECcommand{texmfstart texexec} \fiIf I understand correctly, this effectuates a change from the perl to the ruby scripts.Removing the texmfstart solves the problem.I compared two runs for the transparency problem in order to see if there is some clue:1. Both mp-files turn out being the same (except for the random seed).2. The mpgraph.1 files differ only slightly, except for a few roundoff differences: new format extra lines: (but not a problem, I would guess) %%MetaPostSpecials: 2.0 123 1000 %%HiResBoundingBox: -5.66927 -5.66927 359.9991 119.05481 %%MetaPostSpecial: 7 1 1 1 1 0.94118 1 3I had in my .bashrc:CONTEXT_RUBYSCRIPTS=/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-local/scripts/context/ruby/export CONTEXT_RUBYSCRIPTSand had CONTEXT_RUBYSCRIPTS in my path.Carefully had the executable and read-allowance bits set on all the ruby scripts.I guess it must have something to do with the ruby scripts, probably MacOSX unique, I fear.Something done differently with regard to the perl scripts perhaps?Taco already hinted at the possibility of some end-of-line problem.

No pdftex is in the path.
I call context by using
set PATH=E:\Ruby\bin
call E:\isoimage\usr\local\context\tex\setuptex.bat
E:\isoimage\usr\local\context\tex
so there should not be any mismatched executables.
ah ... typo in base/tex.rb:
@@pdftex = 'pdftex' # new default, pdfetex is gone
ENV['PATH'].split(File::PATH_SEPARATOR).each do |p|
^^
Can you test that?
Yes, this works. The formats are generated correctly. However,
texmfstart texexec --mpgraphic file.mp
does not give me a pdf file. I do understand why this is happening. I will
dig into it a bit more and see what is going wrong.
In tex.rb
def processmpgraphic
...
if data =~ /output files written\:\s*(.*)$/mois then
However, if the mp file contains only one figure, the output in the log is
1 output file written: figures-axis.1
Notice /file/ instead of /files/. So the regex should be changed according.
Then everything works.
if data =~ /output files* written\:\s*(.*)$/mois then
That does the trick. --mpgraphic is working correctly. However, there
is no message on the console saying that a pdf file is created. Can
you add
report ({#name}.#{number} converted to #{filename}.#{number}.pdf)
and
report (#{name}.#{number} converted to #{filename}.pdf)
after File.silentrename lines.

[NTG-context] Aleph queries
Hello all (especially Idris :-) )
Using the fantastic resources from Idris' messages on this list, and the
Aleph page on the Wiki, I have managed to start producing Arabic PDF
output directly from UTF-8 sources using Aleph and dvipdfmx. This is
great, thanks so much.
I have just one or two queries and things I wasn't able to make work. I
hope someone can help.
My test file is here:
http://www.capdm.com/public/context/omarab-queries1.tex
And the output it generates is here:
http://www.capdm.com/public/context/omarab-queries1.pdf
First question - how do I get italic text? The first three paragraphs in
the test are identical content, but the second has {\it ...} around it
and the third has {\bf ...} around it. The third para comes out
perfectly in bold, but the second para looks the same as the first. How
can I get italics?
Second question - that same first para contains 5 ligatures. They don't
seem to match the rest of the font. Is this a set-up issue, or is it the
way the font is designed? If it is a set-up issue, is there a way to fix it?
Third and final question - I inserted a section and two subsections to
demonstrate that the numbering of subsections is left-to-right. How can
I make it right-to-left? (Explanation: the PDF shows section 1, and
then subsections 1-1 and 1-2; reading the numbers from
right-to-left, I need it to show as section 1 and then subsections
1-1 and 2-1. In the subsection the 1 should come first when
reading rtl.)
Thanks very much for any help.
Bests,
Duncan

Glad you liked it:-)
I have just one or two queries and things I wasn't able to make work. I
hope someone can help.
My test file is here:
http://www.capdm.com/public/context/omarab-queries1.tex
And the output it generates is here:

First question - how do I get italic text? The first three paragraphs in

and the third has {\bf ...} around it. The third para comes out
perfectly in bold, but the second para looks the same as the first. How
can I get italics?
There is no italic font, only regular and bold, so \it just maps to the
default regular font.
Second question - that same first para contains 5 ligatures. They don't
seem to match the rest of the font. Is this a set-up issue, or is it the
way the font is designed? If it is a set-up issue, is there a way to fix
it?
Both :-) You could edit the cuni2oar otp (and recompile it) so that it
ignores the ligatures you don't like, or you could put a kashidah between
the two letters whose ligature you want to break. Better is to define an
empty kashidah so that you can manually break the ligature without
stretching the word. I'll look into this in the next few days (busy right
now) if you remind me-)
Third and final question - I inserted a section and two subsections to
demonstrate that the numbering of subsections is left-to-right. How can
I make it right-to-left? (Explanation: the PDF shows section 1, and
then subsections 1-1 and 1-2; reading the numbers from
right-to-left, I need it to show as section 1 and then subsections
1-1 and 2-1. In the subsection the 1 should come first when
reading rtl.)
Add \reversesectionnumberstrue to your Arabic definition:
\def\ArabicUTF{\ArabicDirGlobal\usefiltersequence[UTFArabic]
\reversesectionnumberstrue\switchtobodyfont[omarb]}
Ideally when one selects global RL this should happen automatically. This
is being planned for the future :-)

Frequently I find myself in the position of needing to combine
several MSWord and/or rtf documents into a single file for either
pdftex or Context. I have settled on this strategy.
snip
Someday there will be an elegant solution to the MSWord to
Context problem. For now there is my ugly hack as described here.
MEMORY DISCLAIMER: In these examples none of the function names are
really what they are in Word or VB for Word. The functions are
available in VB for Word, but it's been some time since I've done
this, i don't have the macros these days and don't really know the
real names anymore. So they are just representative of the functions
available.
STYLE COMMENT: These methods should work even if styles are not being
used. For example the primary heading may be Arial, 18pt, bold and
not the Heading 1 style. That's okay because you can search for font
attributes in Word. If the document is not consistent, well, convert
to text and markup manually. :)
MORE OR LESS CURRENT EXAMPLE
It's not particularly elegant, but I used to convert from MSWord to
whatever by writing VB find/replace macros based on styles and
formatting. In newer versions of Word (at least on OS X), Replace has
a function that includes what you found, plus you can add other text.
Example:
Find: Heading 1%find stuff formatted with heading 1 style
Replace: \subject{WhatItFound} %replaces what it found and
wraps \subject{} around it.
Because Word stores its formatting in the line feed/carriage return,
for paragraph styles you end up with something like this:
\subject{Some TeX
}
So my last VB find/replace removes the carriage returns globally:
Find: ^p}
Replace: }
When done with all find/replace functions, save as text.
That's it.
Not being much of a script writer, I record the first find/replace,
then edit the macro and duplicate the find/replace as needed.
The VB find/replace function has options for starting at the top of
the file, replacing globally, continuing if nothing is found and that
sort of thing.
The macro looks something like this:
Find: Heading 1%find stuff formatted with heading 1 style
Replace: \subject{WhatItFound} %replaces what it found and
wraps \subject{} around it.
Find: Heading 2%find stuff formatted with heading 2 style
Replace: \subsubject{WhatItFound} %replaces what it found and
wraps \subsubject{} around it.
Find: Heading 3%find stuff formatted with heading 3 style
Replace: \subsubject{WhatItFound} %replaces what it found and
wraps \subsubsubject{} around it.
The above method uses global replacement and it's pretty zippy, for
Word.
ANOTHER OLDER METHOD
Another method I used before Find/Replace had the WhatItFound
function was to put the found string into a variable, then use that
variable for the replacement text, plus any TeX control sequences
wrapped around it.
In summary:
1. Put your finds and replaces in an array:
ArrayFind(0) Heading 1; ArrayReplace(0) \subject{
ArrayFind(1) Heading 2; ArrayReplace(1) \subsubject{
ArrayFind(2) Heading 3; ArrayReplace(2) \subsubsubject{
Note the closing } is missing. It is hardcoded in the replacement code.
2. Find the first array item starting from the top of the document.
This highlights the text in Word:
Find = $ArrayFind(n)
3. Put the highlighted text into a variable. Maybe you can even strip
the CR's from formatted pagagraphs:
stripCarriageReturns($FoundThisStuff) = CurrentSelection
4. Put the variable and the first replace item in the Word Replace
function. Note the hard coded closing bracket. And the CR assuming
you stripped the CR in step 3:
Replace = $ArrayReplace(n)+$FoundThisStuff+}+CR
5. Repeatedly use Replace and Find Next until nothing else is found.
Replace and Find Next
.
.
.
6. Repeatedly find the next array item to the end of the array.
n = n + 1
Find = $ArrayFind(n)
.
.
.
7. Save the file as text.
FilesSaveAs using the text option
Hum. After thinking about this and typing it in, maybe I should still
use the OLD method. It appears to be a little easier to manage. Maybe
a lot easier.
Oh well, not a real programmer.

Re: [NTG-context] metafun color broken?
After posting this problem I did probe a lot further in this and a
similar problem.
As I reported shortly, the problem goes away when solely replacing in
supp-mps.tex the line
\ifx\TEXEXECcommand \undefined \def\TEXEXECcommand{texmfstart
texexec} \fi
by
\ifx\TEXEXECcommand \undefined \def\TEXEXECcommand{texexec} \fi
This gives me the impression it might not be in context itself,
especially since to my (inexperienced) eye there are no or few
changes between the working and nonworking versions that might
explain the problem.
It might be the change from the perl to the ruby scripts with a
problem in one of the latter.
I expect Hans or Taco to react soon with there usual speed and will
await for their comments first.

I know that Hans has played with transparency at the beginning of May
in order to enable it in XeTeX (but that should happen/break already
earlier then), but I can't help you any further. Normar with color
transparent worked a couple of days ago as far as I can remember, but
I might have had an older version installed (from May).
However: I would like to ask you to commit such examples (you have
much more bug reports everywhere) to contexttest suite, see
I usually do this when in doubt if my code is right.
But in this case formerly perfectly working code is suddenly broken.
And of course I need to run my production and development runs on my
own machine, so I have to solve it for that one.

Suddenly (since the june update I guess) this fails.
Because

If there was a change, why? It brings me trouble.
