I did not know \maxaligned
even me --- it's normal, it's hard to be in sync with all the changes of
the source. I suspect that it's an internal macro, can even change.
Wolfgang often uses internal macro, gaining speed but loosing compatibility.
As general rule (another...) in my stylesheets I try to use TeX macros and
ConTeXt switches (i.e. key=val) especially if they are related to long term
projects.
Actually, Wolfgang seldom uses internal macros. Macros like \maxaligned
are helpers that are used to build regular commands, so they're part of
the infrastructure and Wolfgang knows the context internals amazingly
well. There are some obscure helpers that might dissappear but most are
there for a reason and will stay. So, we have:
commands: offcial interface
helpers : more low level, no key/values etc
hidden : not meant to be used unless on your own risk
Btw, \rlap and \llap are quite standard in a tex system.

Re: [NTG-context] Tikz module causes errors
Hello Mojca, thanks for the follow-up.

I've just updated to the latest beta and the following will cause an error:

\starttext
Hello World
\stoptext
The error is:
system tex error on line 129 in file example.tex:
Undefined control sequence ...
l.129 \catcode`\;=\active
Obviously there is no line 129. A quick greg shows that the likely suspect
is:
tex\texmf-modules\tex\generic\pgf\utilities\pgffor.code.tex:129
Is this the best place to report this, or should I drop a mail to the
Tikz/PGF list?
It's complicated because I'm not aware of any major TikZ developer
using ConTeXt.
The main question is: is this a recent problem in TikZ or in ConTeXt?
Usually people on this list might know how to fix problems, but then
you need to convince pgf team to accept patches. (And then Aditya
started contributing and collecting some patches independently.)
If they aren't yet in the official repo, I would be happy to add those
patches. Note that I'm not a ConTeXt user, so I won't be able to test
them carefully.
I didn't follow development of ConTeXt too closely, but I'm lead to
believe that \active has disappeared from ConTeXt MKIV. Others will
have to correct me if I'm wrong - I didn't check ConTeXt sources. And
others will have to make suggestion about what to do about this.
Patching might as easy as adding \def\active{13} somewhere on top of
TikZ sources, but it might help to understand why Hans decided to
remove the \active command if that is true.
I add it to my todo list.
On the other hand (completely unrelated), I just realized that the
following commit (unofficial and unreliable temporary repository):
https://github.com/mojca/pgf/commit/418b278dcf6a2193d0d564d9d85194bdce1e505e
only fixes LaTeX and plain TeX and doesn't fix ConTeXt. I don't know
what the patch is about, but I'm lead to believe that the same patch
might be needed in ConTeXt as well if it is needed for the other two.
Not sure if it is needed for ContTeXt because I added the required
file on top of pgffor.code.tex that is loaded by any format one use.
I did add a \RequirePackage to the .sty file because LaTeX manages a
list of package loaded. I would be happy to do the same for ConTeXt if
it has a similar mechanism.
Best regards

The wiki explains often the behavior for MkII but MkIV does sometimes things

prefixes
you can use \rawnumber which shows also the start value.
BTW: In the next beta the syntax for \setnumber will change, now both
arguments are
written in brackets, e.g. \setnumber[mycount][4]
Thanks Wolfgang - \rawnumber works as expected.
I think that my approach is flawed, however. I'm letting users set a
userstructurevariable that I'm tying to counters in order to produce
a(nother) summary table. The problem is that the table is at the start
of the document and so the counters will all be at their initial
value. I'll need to find a way to save the counters over compile runs
or to delay the building of the summary table until after the rest of
the document is done.

Is this a bug in mkii?

This is a limitation of the MkII version of the \define command, you can’t use
\par in the replacement text but you can use \endgraf which does also end a
paragraph.

Thanks Wolfgang: indeed
\def\MyTest#1{The test variable is #1.\par}
works both in mkii and mkiv.
There must be a reason for the behavior of \define in mkii, but that's fine:
I'll use \endgraf, when I have to use mkii.

(1) What is the difference between \definedescription and

the first should define new description, the second change style of
already defined description.
Ah, so \setupdescriptions inherits the default values of
\definedescription?
I suppose no, '\define...', eh-m, defines a command while '\setup...', eh-m,
sets up its 'style'. When one defines a command one could set its
custom 'style' instead of default.
Consider the following example:
example file=ex1.tex
\starttext
\definedescription[definition]
Why is this above command necessary? Why can one not simply begin with
the next one, \definition{Hi}?
\definition{Hi} This is first definition.
May be because this is an example? I would say that ConTeX User Manual
shows different commands from context itself and how one could define
custom commands. The '\definition' is one them.
???
I don't know but reading manuals (context and latex ones), wiki and etc
somehow convince me that 'head' relates with section heading (styling),
for the rest there are '\setup...' commands and 'headstyle' key (not
always, of course), may be that's why I always consult reference on wiki
and sometimes source code.
It's kind of inconsistent that it isn't using a \setuphead, but I
suppose it doesn't matter now as I got the desired effect =)
Thanks Vladimir =)

Re: [NTG-context] Problem with letter module
Am 18.01.2012 um 21:14 schrieb Romain Diss:
Hi,
I am writing a letter with the 'letter' module (mkiv and last beta) and the
\encl{} command doesn't work anymore. I know that the module has been
rewriten
recently but I can't find any doc or examples of the new syntax. I tried to
look at the source code but it doesn't help.
So is there any command which replace \encl{}? And is there any documentation
(even succint) of the new module?
With the new version of the module I tried to get rid of a few things which lead
to problems or which didn’t fit into context normal syntax. The \encl, \cc and
\ps
had been such a thing and all three value can now only bet set as keyval
argument,
e.g. \startletter[enclosure=…]
There isn’t a new documentation yet but I’ll give a short overview.
There is now only one way to set values for the letter variables in this is
\setupletter
with it’s keyval syntax, e.g. \setupletter[name=…,address=…]. The
\setlettervalue
command from the previous version is gone and won’t come back.
The letter environment has now only optional argument which acts like a local
version of \setupletter where the values are only used in the environment.
When you use your document only for a single letter without anything else
you can even drop \starttext and \stoptext because this is handled by
\startletter
and \stopletter.
To change the labels in the reference line for the “Date” string you have
to use the \setuplettertext command, a special version of \setuplabeltext only
for the letter module.
Styles are still loaded with \useletterstyle but when you want to put your own
settings in a style file you have to name the file “letter-style.tex|mkiv”.
To load
the style you need only the style part as argument for the command because
the “letter-” part is always added. It doesn't matter if you use tex or mkiv as
file
extension because the file is found in either case.

The module can’t find italic, bold etc. alternatives when don’t match a certain
name pattern, in your case for “Aller Light” the normal “Aller” font has to be
used for the bold alternative but the module is looking for “Aller Light Bold”
which doesn’t exist. To have a bold alternative besides this limitation you can
say which font should be used for bold, see below how this can be done.
My example:
\usemodule[simplefonts]
\setmainfont[Allerlight]
\setmainfont[Allerlight][boldfont={Aller},bolditalicfont={Aller Italic}]

[NTG-context] \externalfigure and file size
Hey list, I have a number of \externalfigure commands to typeset some svg images. This is often handy to have them vectorized because it allows for the user to zoom in on diagrams of great detail. In other situations, I find that for images that are not so important, they would benefit from ConTeXt rasterizing them when they are imported. The reason for this is I find some vector images get enormously bloated when they are typeset. As an example, I have a Logo.svg of only 6.8 KB. The m_k_i_v_Logo.pdf intermediate ConTeXt generates is nearly a megabyte in size. Why? I have no idea, as they both appear to be the same image with the same gausian blur. Is there a flag I can pass certain instances of \externalfigure that tells the image processing backend that a simple rasterized version of the figure is fine? Or is there a better approach? I don't want to pre-convert all of these images to raster formats. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
[NTG-context] xtable formatting issues
Hi, I’ve been experimenting a bit with converting some natural tables into
xtables and ran across two issues.
The first has to do with nested xtables and settings. In particular, if you
attempt to set a cell’s width on the internal table using \setupxtable the
option is lost. In the below example testtable1 doesn’t format properly when
nested; testtable2 does. I also included some font and color examples to show
they cascade more as I’d expect (the outer table’s settings are used unless
overridden by the inner table).
The second thing I noticed is that attempting to set the font via
foregroundstyle only works when done vie \setupxtable. Attempting to assign
this directly to the cell causes compile errors (the commented table in the
example). Maybe I should be setting the font some other way? (this is how I
always did it with natural tables).
Finally, does xtable have something like the aligncharacter mechanism in
natural tables?
Thanks,
Brian
