Re: [NTG-context] Problem calling system
Hello,
I slightly modified the example - my code now is:
\ctxlua{os.execute([[echo lua -e print 'WWW']])}
\starttext
A
\stoptext
So now I'm able to diagnose what exactly is passed to the command line.
I'm getting:
...
languageslanguage en is active
lua -e print WWW
{c:/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/fonts/map/pdftex/context/mkiv-base.map}
...
So it can be seen that [surprisingly] character ' was substituted for - and
IMHO this causes the problem.
Could anyone explain why this substitution is performed and how to avoid it?
Best regards,
Lukas

probably some os.execute parsing ... does os.exec or os.spawn work ok?

Re: [NTG-context] Problem calling system
probably some os.execute parsing ...
Do you mean Lua itself does the parsing and substitution? I guessed [lua]tex
core...
When I try to call on the command line:
C:\Lukas\ConTeXt\TestDDvlua
Lua 5.1.4 Copyright (C) 1994-2008 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
os.execute([[lua -e print 'WWW']])
WWW
os.execute([[echo lua -e print 'WWW']])
lua -e print 'WWW'
=os.exec
nil
=os.spawn
nil
- There is no '/ substitution in standalone Lua (?!).
does os.exec or os.spawn work ok?
Well, the 'os.exec' works, in condition that it is called with cmd /c:
\ctxlua{os.execute([[echo lua -e print 'EXECUTE']])}
\ctxlua{os.exec([[cmd.exe /c echo lua -e print 'EXEC']])}
\ctxlua{os.spawn([[cmd.exe /c echo lua -e print 'SPAWN']])}
\starttext
A
\stoptext
Gives:
...
languageslanguage en is active
lua -e print EXECUTE
lua -e print 'EXEC'
system | total runtime: 0.609
Interesting that the string to be passed to 'os.exec' keeps ' whilst that to
'os.execute' doesn't.
Why this happens?
Anyhow, thanks for the idea with 'os.exec'.
Best regards,
Lukas

[NTG-context] ConTeXt colours in TikZ
Hi everybody,
I don't get context colours working in tikz. There were several
issues on the mailing list in the past and the solution always seems
to be some kind of hack. But none of the hacks work (with a current
context). Example:
\usemodule [tikz]
\definecolor [darkblue] [b=.2]
\starttext
\starttikzpicture
% works
\fill [blue] (0,0) circle(1);
% fails
% \fill [darkblue] (0,0) circle(1);
\stoptikzpicture
\stoptext
I get the following error:
Runaway argument?
0 0 0.2 rg 0 0 0.2 RG\pgf@stop {darkblue}\else \edef \pgf@marshal {\noexpand
\ETC.
! File ended while scanning use of \pgfutil@context@parse@gray.

[NTG-context] atpage || number comparing
Hi,
it tried to do a \atpage command that results
a) some page = nothing
b) different page = pagenumber with some text (e.g. auf Seite XY)
\def\atPage[#1]%
{\doifnot{\at[#1]}{\currentpage}%
{\at[#1]}%
}
My problem with this is, that the \doifnot always results as not equal;
it is like the types mismatch as if I exchange \at[#1] with a pure
number the comparing works. If so, how can the types be corrected?
Additionally - if possible - I would like to add case that the referred
page is on the other page but in duplex mode adjacent to the actual
page. Is that possible to do this? I unluckily dont know how to make
working simple calculation in tex code.
To be complete I found in the file strc-ref.mkiv some notes about a
planed \atpage command:
%D A still very rudimentary|/|experimental forward|/|backward
%D reference mechanism is provided by the macro \type{\atpage}:
%D
%D \starttyping
%D ... \somewhere{backward text}{forward text}[someref] ...
%D ... \atpage[someref] ...
%D \stoptyping
%D
%D In future versions there will be more sophisticated
% 0 = no page reference
% 1 = same page
% 2 = preceding page
% 3 = following page
% 4 = backward, same page (todo)
% 5 = forward, same page (todo)
But that level of the ambient tex is still out of my scope.
Thanks

Re: [NTG-context] atpage || number comparing
Hi,
I'm a neophyte using last year's TeXLive context. An expert can probably
improve my answer. Does this work for you?:
\def\atPage[#1]%
{\doifnot{\doifreferencefoundelse{#1}{\currentreferencepage}{?}}{\currentpage}%
{\at[#1]}%
}
I adapted it from code in strc-ref.mkiv. The \doifreferencefoundelse seems to
set up \currentreferencepage properly. I don't understand it any deeper than
that.
As for testing for adjacent pages, TeX has count registers (through \newcount)
and ConTeXt has counters (see wiki). In TeX one can do arithmetic on registers
with \advance, \multiply, \divide and test results with \ifnum, \ifodd. One
can do some arithmetic with ConTeXT counters, but I haven't figured it all out
yet; and of course, one can use Lua.

Re: [NTG-context] Typescripts for Dummies
Thank you Wolfgang!! I've used LaTeX off and on since the 1980's but never did anything with Plain TeX so that's why I did not recognize the \s! . Bill Meahan K8QN I want to live other lives. I've never quite believed that one chance is all I get.

[NTG-context] fixing mpiv on installation path with spaces
Hello, last year Taco added many patches to make sure that ConTeXt works even when installed to C:\Documents and Settings\ ... and other weird paths with spaces. However metapost in mkiv still fails. I figured out that the following patch (which *won't* handle paths with quotation marks properly) in mlib-run.lua fixes the problem: local preamble = [[ boolean mplib ; mplib := true ; let dump = endinput ; -input %s ; +input %s ; ]] but I'm not sure if there are any other side effects or if there are other places that also need a patch. I didn't test with filenames with spaces or with filenames with weird characters that need escaping. Maybe it would be helpful to pass file.addsuffix(name,mp) through additional filter (instead of simply adding quotation marks) that would also check if any other character needs escaping and add quotation marks if needed. Minimal example: - install ConTeXt into path with spaces - test with context on \starttext \startMPcode draw fullcircle scaled 3cm; \stopMPcode \stoptext I would be grateful if somebody could take a look, so that a fix could make it into TL 2012.

[NTG-context] Testing TeX Live 2012
Dear ConTeXt users, TeX Live 2012 is going to be released soon. After the first successful year of ConTeXt in TeX Live, it would be great to get enough testers before the release (to make sure that it works flawlessly) and to get rid of as many bugs as possible. See http://tug.org/texlive/pretest.html for links and instructions. You could try wget http://ctan.ijs.si/mirror/tlpretest/install-tl-unx.tar.gz tar xvzf install-tl-unx.tar.gz cd install-tl-every-day-a-different-name ./install-tl -gui -repository http://ctan.ijs.si/mirror/tlpretest and install a ConTeXt scheme for example. (Alternatively you can first fetch all the packages to local disk.) Then just add the binary path to your PATH and feel free to play. Mac users can also try MacTeX 2012 from tlpretest (with some extra care), but you first need to update to get the latest ConTeXt. Mojca (The version of ConTeXt is the same as latest beta, so any bugs fixed in beta can just as well proliferate to TeX Live.) ___ 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] Insertion of a Document I.D.
I want to generate a document i.d. from the .tex source filename and the current date and put it into the footer. This might be possible already, but I could find it by searching the wiki for filename and document it, or rather too much since filename is mainly used for command line parameters, etc. I know the \currentdate will give the current system date part that I can use, but is there any \filename type command for the master filename, so that a document i.d. could be generated automatically. e.g. \filename\currentdate Regards ___ 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 ___

\jobname yields the filename (in my last year's TeX Live ConTeXt).
