Re: [NTG-context] luatex 0.30.1

2008-10-20 Thread luigi scarso


 . setuptex: yes, but you can also have that it initialisation. I have put
. context/tex/setuptex context/tex
 into ~/.bash_profile

hmm...
some conflicts with other minimals or tex distros may arise, because you can
not choose what
luatex binary to execute


 context --make and context --generate are only needed the first time
 after each update

Yes, it's true.
But I want to put in a separe log the output
context --generate
so I do it by hand.

Minimals work.
If a test pass  minimals, it's ok.
If the same test doesn't pass on tl2008, probably tl2008 is to update
and/or there are some env variables to adjust .

 Hi Folks !

 Sample file (xml_test.tex):
 I have some custom XML text (trivial) + a not-so-complicated xsl 
 transformation (a part is included within the test file). I know there 
 is verb-xml but... I need to improve it to support xpath expr. More 
 over, I want to preserve the initial indentation. The point is now, how 
 to improve verb-xml to support xpath expressions ? I'm working with Mark 
 II... Should I switch to Mark IV if I want to write a new XML verbatim 
 support (with lua)?
 
 + the bonus question: I want to add some support for the RelaxNG Compact 
 syntax, should I follow the procedure described on the wiki or switch to 
 Mark IV ?
 
 The deadline for this technical report: end of october...

Mark IV's framework for syntax highlighting is definately easier to
use if you are somewhat familiar with 'normal' scripting languages
(as opposed to TeX). But 'end of october' is pretty close, so I would
suggest using t-vim, maybe with some postprocessing.

[NTG-context] context minimals path and directory structure question

2008-10-20 Thread Jan-Erik Hägglöf
Hello!

I'm using  context-minimal version: 2008.10.01 19:13 and have a
generally question.

I'm writing several documents with similar structure and design and have
collected all common settings in settings.tex like following:

\startenvironment settings
...
...
...
\stopenvironment

and just do the usual invoking by

in 

anything.tex

\environment settings

\starttext
...
...
...
\stoptext

I've installed the minimals structure in /home/$USER/context/... on my
ubuntu 8.04 machine.

Now to the question:

Where in this structure do I place settings.tex so it can be found
by context from anywhere in my document-structure?

I suppose I should do something like context --make after placing the
file. If I do the usual upgrade what happens then?

Is there a more efficient way doing similar tasks, like writing a
module? 

All best!

Re: [NTG-context] Problems with Palatino sans serif

2008-10-20 Thread Taco Hoekwater

Hi Rory,

Aditya Mahajan wrote:

 On my local system, though, all the text is serif and at the same
 size.  There is no size variation with \tfa, \tfb, etc.  If I remove
 all the \ss commands then the sizing works again.

Sorry for being so slow with this, Aditya was right with his analysis.
I just installed a texlive2008, and the problem is really a simple bug
/ omission in the pre-august context release, I should have spotted
it without having to actually install a texlive myself.

Anyway, from the Release Notes page for 2008.08.04:

   type-one.tex:
 * add an ss definition for palatino and fourier typescripts

Because there is no fallback font defined either, you get 'nothing'
when you switch to \ss in the older contexts. You could attempt
to update your context installation,  but this could introduce
new problems, so it may be easiest to add a \definetypeface line
for palatino ss in your document someplace before the \setupbodyfont.

  \definetypeface [palatino] [ss] [sans]  [modern]
  [default] [encoding=ec,rscale=1.075]

Best wishes,
Taco

 \completepublications is roughly equivalent to

   \title{References}
   \placepublications[criterium=previous]

 so whether or not you get a page break depends on the settings
 for \title. You could change those settings using \setuphead, or you
 could make \completepublications use a different sectioning command,
 like so

   \setuppublicationlist[title=\section]

 or you could just use explicit

\section {...}
\placepublications[criterium=previous]

 so, there are multiple options.

Notice the big difference between the /Differences and the /CharSet.
Despite the name of /Differences, this normally lists all the glyphs
in the subset. When I manually add

   14/Zcaron/zcaron

at the start of /Differences, then suddenly the slanted accented z-s
reappear.

I suspect Acrobat Pro gets confused about the encoding because it
probably has to merge more than one subset into a single one. Perhaps
it believes all encodings are equal. This you could test by looking
at an uncompressed generated pdf's Font objects in a text editor.

 I've installed the minimals structure in /home/$USER/context/... on my

 Now to the question:

 Where in this structure do I place settings.tex so it can be found
 by context from anywhere in my document-structure?

 tex/texmf-local/tex/context/user
can be a good place


 I suppose I should do something like context --make after placing the
 file. If I do the usual upgrade what happens then?

first-setup.sh  should not delete your files.

context --generate
context --make
are safe 
(well, one can always write a malicius tex file that overwrite
tex/texmf-local/tex/context/user/settings.tex ...)

On Mon, 20 Oct 2008, Jan-Erik Hägglöf wrote:

by context from anywhere in my document-structure?


For files which are specific to one or two projects, I usually place them 
in the directory:


main-dir/
 |
 + settings.tex
 |
 + project-1/
 ||
 |+--- component-1-1.tex
 |
 + project-2/

and then in component-1-1.tex, put

\environment settings

There is no need to tell the relative path to context. When context cannot 
find a file in the current dir, it looks up two (or three?) levels to find 
the file.


As Mojca said, this has the added advantage of making the structure 
self-sufficient. You can just copy the main-dir on a different computer 
and everything works.


For files that are used in many different projects, I usually make it a 
module (if you are not using any advanced features, like localenvironments 
or setupmodules, modules and environments are the same)


I have created a directory texmf-local/tex/context/aditya where I put all 
my files (and sync them to a svn server so that I can use them on 
different computers).



I suppose I should do something like context --make after placing the
file. If I do the usual upgrade what happens then?


You make need to run luatools --generate (or texhash if using mkii) if 
place the files in texmf-local. To prevent any accidents with upgrades, 
create a directory in texmf-local/tex/context that is unique. You can also 
create the directory in $TEXMFHOME/tex/context (which is usually 
$HOME/tex/context in *nix systems, I do not know about win/mac). Normally 
upgrades do not touch anything in $TEXMFHOME.

 I suppose I should do something like context --make after placing the

mktexlsr for kpathsea and luatools --generate for mkiv.
Though some folders are searched even without putting them to database.

 If I do the usual upgrade what happens then?

The script doesn't touch texmf-local.

 Is there a more efficient way doing similar tasks, like writing a
 module?

You can also have settings.tex on top of all the folders that use
it. Plain file and module do not make much difference in such cases.

(For safety reasons, I prefer to have a copy of such files locally (in
folder where I process files). I never know when I switch computer and
forget to copy some files from some global folders.)

 Hi,
 
 I am using the bib module in context. The problem is that 
 \completepublications always starts a new page to place reference list. 
 Is there any configuration available such that not to break pages 
 between main part and the reference? Thanks.

\completepublications is roughly equivalent to

   \title{References}
   \placepublications[criterium=previous]

so whether or not you get a page break depends on the settings
for \title. You could change those settings using \setuphead, or you
could make \completepublications use a different sectioning command,
like so

   \setuppublicationlist[title=\section]

or you could just use explicit

\section {...}
\placepublications[criterium=previous]

so, there are multiple options.

Best wishes,
Taco

 Mark IV's framework for syntax highlighting is definately easier to

 Hi Rory,

Hi Taco,

Thanks for responding.


 
 Because there is no fallback font defined either, you get 'nothing'
 when you switch to \ss in the older contexts. You could attempt
 to update your context installation,  but this could introduce
 new problems, so it may be easiest to add a \definetypeface line

I've already updated my installation, which cleared up the problem.  Is 
it risky in general to use 'ctxtool --updatecontext'?

 for palatino ss in your document someplace before the \setupbodyfont.
 
   \definetypeface [palatino] [ss] [sans]  [modern]
   [default] [encoding=ec,rscale=1.075]

Oh, I see.  This uses the Computer Modern sans.

So if I understand things correctly, the various arguments are:

[palatino]: the typeface being defined (or modified in this case)
[ss]:   the part of the typeface being defined (the \ss name)
[sans]: refers to a part of the modern typeface
[modern]:   pick the sans part of the this typeface
[default]:  what's this bit?
[encoding]: the encoding to use
[rscale]:   a scaling adjustment to make up for CM's smaller x-size.

Is that the general idea?

Yes, spot on. The [default] is for font families with optical scaling
instances and is only used with the computer modern fonts. When combined
with a different font set, like palatino, it doesn't make much sense so
it is usually left at [default].

Itemize uses two pass data (so that \startitemize[reverse]

reasonable. (I haven't checked yet).

[NTG-context] What should I learn?

2008-10-20 Thread Maurí­cio
Hi,

I would like to ask you some advice on what
should I learn.

Context was the first typography program I
used. Then I tried Tex and a little bit of
latex.

Context is where I get the best results, but
what I really would like is something that
allows me to do things in my own way, not
something that's always great for reasons I
don't understand. (Of course, the first
documents I would type would not be that good,
but I'll learn with time.)

I thought Tex could be that, but it's not. I
can't use it to create something to fit my
(worst) taste instead of Knuth's (better)
taste without doing a lot more work than I'm
able to do.

I also like to write programs (I use a really
nice language named Haskell). Do you thing I
could get what I want if I write or translate
typography functions to that language, and then
write programs to generate documents? Where
could I find or where could I learn about such
functions?

Thanks,
Maurício
