Re: [NTG-context] [texhax] Choosing TeX um ... stuff

However, I'm afraid I haven't kept in as close touch as I'd like, and now I find myself trying to absorb a lot in a short time. I'm trying to choose what software to use in building an XML-TeX workflow. I'd appreciate any help with the following questions: 1. True or False: TeX can be categorized along three orthogonal axes: 1. by format (plain TeX, LaTeX, ConTeXt, others?) 2. by implementation (web2c, pdfTeX/pdfLaTeX, LuaTeX, others?) 3. by distribution (MikTeX, TeXLive, MacTeX, others?) 2) is false; whilst web2c is a methodology and an basis for implementation, pdfTeX is a derivative, pdfLaTeX is simply LaTeX layered on top of PdfTeX, LuaTeX is a major fork, and so on. 2. True or False: plain TeX and LaTeX(2e) are warhorses ... been around for decades, quirks well known, lots of documentation, etc. Yes, except that while Plain TeX has more-or-less remained static (modulo essential bug fixes by Don), LaTeX2e has continued to evolve. I have heard rumours that this particular evolutionary branch may have come to an end, but I have no definite knowledge of this. 3. True or False: ConTeXt is newer, with a lot of built-in features, but still changing quite a bit from build to build. Context is a L O T newer : it has many devotees, but is still something of an outside to mainstream TeX usage. Other comments welcome vis. picking which software to use. One point is that since the actual TeX input files will be generated programmatically, readability or ease-of-coding is not a factor. I was going to use plain TeX, but it seems a lot of features like placing text boxes and graphics anywhere, using system fonts, etc. are more available for LaTeX and ConTeXt. Thank you for any comments! Talk to River Valley and/or Sebastian Rahtz; both have considerable knowledge of the matters that interest you.

After some tracing and hard thinking Taco and I found interesting spaces
showing up in the output that result from a kludge in tikz:
Normally one will use \ignorespaces to catch spurious spaces but tikz
invokes \nullfont assuming that its fontdimen 2 is zero. But, in context
it no longer is (prelude to delayed font loading).
You can put this in cont-new.mkiv as a temporary hack
\let\normalnullfont\nullfont
\def\nullfont

Re: [NTG-context] ppchtex questions
Hi Alan,
Thanks for the explanations.
Try style=sans. We also have color= and rulecolor=.
syle=sans works, but not for aligned atoms, e.g. \SL{OH}; a bug? For the
time being, I can use \SL{\ss OH}.
There are some problems still in mkiv, notably with CARBON, NEWMANSTAGGER,
NEWMANECLIPSE, and CHAIR. Hans (and I) intend to work on this but it is not
too high of a priority for the moment. Let me know if you have other problems
in using ppchtex.
I'm sure there will be more questions!
I'm using context version 2010.09.05 13.23, have there been any
improvements since then?
Thanks, Jörg

There are indeed bugs in the use of \SL{} under mkiv. For example, one
currently needs to use \SL{\small CH$_2$} rather than \SL{CH_2} as one would
expect (use of both \small and explicit math mode). The same is true for any
text macro, i.e. \rotate[rotation=+30]{\small N$|$NH}.
Hans is on copy as he can probably find the bug rapidly, that is once he can
find the time to look into this.

I can get it to work using something like this (see complete minimal example

But it doesn't seem to work if I try to define a command (macro?) to keep my

\stopEnum
\endBlock
}
\Revs{Missing Text B}
I don't get any output from the call \Revs. No doubt I'm doing something
silly..
I've also noticed that it breaks if I put the \beginBlock \startEnum commands
on the same line, as in:
\beginBlock \startEnum
Some text A
\stopEnum \endBlock
I've been trying this on TeX Live 2010.

There are different ways to highlight your text, colors, a different

local scratch = 0
local res = ''
scratch = leptonica.uti_getref_l_uint32()

res = leptonica.uti_valref_l_uint32(scratch)
else
print(! Error on ,x,y)

return res

with a registered namespace (or, better, a suffix) I will be sure to

Re: [NTG-context] font, line spacing issues
Am 18.11.2010 um 01:25 schrieb Peter Davis:
As an experiment, I'm trying to duplicate a sample InDesign document with
ConTeXt. I'm getting the overall layout (though my image positions need
tweaking), but I'm having some problems with the fonts.
I'm following the examples in
http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/showfont.pdf , but I haven't seen
the \switchtotypeface operator documented anywhere else. I'm on a Windows 7
machine, with minimals installed. I'm trying to use some of the system fonts
(Minion, Impact, Myriad), but all I seem to get is CMR.
Use \switchtobodyfont to switch to a different font.
With your font settings context expects predefined lists with links to the font
files (from symbolic names, e.g. \rm, \ss, \tf, \it etc. to the real files) but
in my example below you can see a method (specserif and specsans) which does
what you expect but i didn’t use it for Minion and Myriad because the system
isn’t perfect yet and you get unwanted results.
Also, the line spacing on the paragraph at the top of the second page seems
very weird. It's an address, and the bottom line is much too high relative
to the spacing of the other lines.
See my example, i set the font switch with \starttextbox or to be true with
\framed[foregroundstyle={...}].
\definepapersize[card][width=792pt,height=612pt]
\setuppapersize[card][card]
\definetypeface[impact][rm][specserif][Impact][default]

produce the desired result,

Re: [NTG-context] \definenamespace (was: The visual counter module)
On Wed, 17 Nov 2010, Wolfgang Schuster wrote:
I’m not Aditya but i hope you will also accept my explanation.
This is a much better explanation than I could have written. Just a few
points:
I will start with the first argument and the „type“ key, e.g.
\definenamespace
[fancybreak]
[type=module]
will produce the namespace „fancybreak“ with the short form
(the name itself has the same length but for TeX it’s only a single
tokens instead of many with the ... form) \fancybreak.
The is currently only one argument with the name „module“ but
another one like „core“ or „base“ can appear in the future but
this will be then reserved for Hans to replace the \definesystemvariable
command from the core to produce a namespace in the form „@@xx“.
When you define a namespace you should use three or more letters
because two letter namespaces are reserved for Hans itself,
e.g. is already used by the database module.
The second key you need is „name“ because it’s argument is used
when all the „\setup...“ and „\define...“ commands are created.
The key „style“ creates the command „\dosetNAMEattributes“ which
takes two arguments where the first is to change the style (font)
in your new created command and the second for the color.
The setup
\definenamespace
[fancybreak]
[type=module,
name=fancybreak,
style=yes]
creates the command \dosetfancybreakattributes which can be used like
\dosetfancybreakattributes\c!style\c!color and will take the „style“
and „color“ argument from the \setupfancybreak command.
The setup key creates the command „\setupNAME“ where you can control
whether the commands accepts a list of environment in the two argument
form or only a single environment, e.g. „setup=yes“ let you write
\setupfancybreak[one][..,..=..,..]
and
\setupfancybreak[..,..=..,..]
while „setup=list“ let you use
\setupfancybreak[one,two][..,..=..,..]
and
\setupfancybreak[..,..=..,..]
The key “command“ creates a bunch of macros, besides the „\define...“
commands to create new environment and commands with your code it creates
the following macros to access the values from your setup commands:
- \Nameparameter
- \namedNAMEparameter
- \detokenizedNAMEparameter
In order to use these commads, you must set a value for \currentname.
For example, if you have
\definename[one][width=10cm]
In order to access the value of width of one, you must do:
\def\currentname{one}
\nameparameter{width}
(I do not remember the distinction between \nameparameter,
\namednameparamter, and \detokenizednameparameters).
The command key has like the setup key the two values yes and list,
with „command=yes“ you can write
\defineNAME[one][..,..=..,..]
or (clone a setup like \definehead[mysection][section])
\defineNAME[two][one]
while „command=list“ allows
\defineNAME[one,two][..,..=..,..]
or
\defineNAME[two,three][one]
I did not know that cloning was possible. The \defineenumeration commands
allows for
\defineenumeration[new][old][..=..]
This clones a selected options from old to new (using copyparamters) and
then sets the values of the third arguments.
Would it make sense to add support for
\definename[two,three][one][..=..]?
For parent it’s the best to give as argument always the same value
as you defined for the namespace, e.g. for the fancybreak module
one should write „parent=fancybreak“.
I thought that you have to write parent=\fancybreak.

Feedback and patches welcome!
No patches I'm afraid. But feedback goes here:
1) The label text of the following key element takes the color of the preceding
key symbol. Minimal example:
set terminal lua tikz fulldoc size 15cm,7cm context
set output 'plot.tex'
set xrange [ 0 : 13 ]
f1(x)=sqrt(x)
f2(x)=sqrt(x*0.8)-3
plot f1(x) lc rgb 'blue', f2(x)
2) Negative axis labels are set with hyphen instead of proper minus sign, which
should be longer (see example above).
3) First I thought luatex hangs but then I noticed TikZ is awfully slow when
drawing plots with large amounts of data points (the tikzpicture had about 3000
lines). I can speed this up by reducing the size by invoking plot with:
plot gawk '(NR-1)%10 == 0 {print $0}' fileWithLotsOfData using [...]
I wonder if there is a smarter way to do this in gnuplot.
4) Is there a possibility to get rid of the vertical artifacts in filledcurves?
Note: the artifacts are only visible when plotting from data files.
set terminal lua tikz fulldoc size 15cm,7cm context
set output 'plot.tex'
plot gawk 'BEGIN {for (i = 1; i = 100; i++) {print i, 0.7*i, 0.8*i+50}}'
using 1:2:3 with filledcurve lc rgb 'black' t 'filled curve'
set xrange [ 0 : 13 ]
plot abs(x) with filledcurve xy=2,5

Thanks.
The command key has like the setup key the two values yes and list,

\copyparameters is only used for code which doesn’t use the new parameter

with the parent handling but this method isn’t necessary in mkiv
I am not sure how this is supposed to work. Consider this example:
\definenamespace
[one]
[type=module,
name=one,
setup=yes,
parent=]
\definenamespace
[two]
[type=module,

This gives

two
Why is the value of whatever not set for test2?
Why is the value of something not set for test3?
Would it make sense to add support for
\definename[two,three][one][..=..]?
You can redefine \definename or leave it out from \definenamespace.
I meant that why not \definename as follows:
\def\definename%
{\dotripleargument\dodefinename}
\def\dodefinenamename[#1][#2][#3]%
{\doifassignmentelse{#2}
{\getparameters[name#1][parent=name, #2]}
{\getparameters[name#1][parent=name#2, #3]}}
What’s also is to write \definename[clone][parent=\parent].
For parent it’s the best to give as argument always the same value
as you defined for the namespace, e.g. for the fancybreak module
one should write „parent=fancybreak“.
I thought that you have to write parent=\fancybreak.
That happens in the backend hidden from the user/author.
Ah, I see. Thanks.

As a side note: is it possible to generate a JPG file instead of a PDF
file?
no clue as no test file ... is write 18 enabled on your system?
Below the stripped down version of the code.
Write 18 was not enabled. I enabled it, but still I do not see the
boxes and the lines.

Re: [NTG-context] Is the chart module broken?
Op woensdag 3 nov 2010 19:41 CET schreef Hans Hagen:
In the past I have used the chart module for a little flow chart in a
presentation. I wanted to make again flow charts. But I did not get it
working. I just compiled my old version again, but this does not work
also. The chart is drawn, but the boxes and lines are invisible. That
is not very usefull. What could be the problem?

I took this code from the internet. So I suppose this should work.
\usemodule[chart]
\starttext
\startFLOWchart[cells]
\startFLOWcell
\name {first}
\location{1,1}
\shape {singledocument}
\text {not really a document}
\stopFLOWcell
\stopFLOWchart
\FLOWchart[cells]
\stoptext
But it gives:
http://www.decebal.nl/ConTeXt/flowchart.pdf
The log file created is at:
http://www.decebal.nl/ConTeXt/flowchart.log
The only things I see that could mean something are:
systems : no file 'cont-sys.tex', using 'cont-sys.rme' instead
pdfTeX warning: pdftex: no GlyphToUnicode entry has been inserted yet!
But I do not know if that is a problem.
The pfd is made with:
texexec --automp flowchart
Without the --automp I get a message about mpost.
