I hope to submit Millennial to CTAN this summer, but it probably won't be
for another month or so.  There's still several things to fix, and it would
be nice to have some documentation.  However, I wouldn't be opposed to the
initial public release from 20110819 being used in TeXLive2012.

[NTG-context] \setuplayout[location=duplex] not working? (probably since a year)

2012-05-29 Thread Marco Pessotto

Hello there. I'm messing around with imposition schemas and I think I've
hit a bug or a dropped feature (but documented in the printed manual).

Minimal example:

\setuppapersize[A5][A4]
\setuplayout[location=duplex]

\starttext
\dorecurse{20}{
\input knuth
}
\stoptext

As far as I can see, the duplex location is ignored, as the page is
always put in the left corner. Am I doing something wrong? The behaviour
is the same with the one-year-old ConTeXt from TeXlive2011.

Dear Joel,

For the next time, PLEASE don't try to reply to digest. Please, also
don't try to reply to unrelated messages by changing their subject
(just because it is easier that placing email of the mailing list into
a new template) since that confuses message archives completely.

Please, always start a NEW message for a new topic and write or copy-paste
ntg-context at ntg.nl
into the appropriate field. Don't try to cheat by replying to
unrelated messages.

(And even if you absolutely must do that, then please, at least DELETE
everything else that is not related.)

In particular - in case that you are reading ConTeXt mailing list in
digest mode, please don't reply to digest, leaving thirty other
unrelated messages in the same post. When using digest mode it might
also help to add yourself to CC in your own message or to ask people
to add you to CC, so that you get the answer directly, can reply in a
clean way and don't have to wait for digest to arrive to solve your
problem.

You can set “location=doublesided” but “duplex” isn’t a valid argument and even 
then it works only when you have a double sided document.

[NTG-context] Apology

2012-05-29 Thread yuji sakai
Good day!

I would like to apologize for whatever trouble my earlier post caused the
message archive system. Rest assured that no ill intention was behind that.

Honestly, I haven't been posting anything for quite a while now, and I have
already forgotten how to... At least in a proper way. I was caught up in
the middle of something earlier as I was trying to look for a solution to
my problem when I posted my query. It was only after Mojca called my
attention just now that I noticed that I have not deleted the rest of the
unrelated posts in the bulletin that I used to reach the mailing list. Only
now did I realize what a mess that has caused.

I am still learning the ropes in using ConTeXt MKIV. But instead of asking
questions about the things that I needed done, I have done my best to
search for the answers myself. Only when I feel (at the time) that my
search has been futile do I come to this mailing list for help... And that
is as a last resort. To Aditya, thank you very much for your very prompt
reply. I already knew the unicode for the recipe sign prior to posting my
inquiry, and was hoping there would be another way to do it. At the time of
posting, I was having problems typesetting unicode characters in MKIV but
soon figured that out by the time I received Aditya's response. But
nonetheless, I am grateful for Aditya's help.

Cheating, I believe, has a connotation of one bypassing the norms to gain
undue advantage over others. To that, I refuse to admit that what I did
earlier was cheating. As I have said, I had no intention of disrupting this
message board. It was a careless mistake on my part.

Anyway, thank you all for your help.

Joel

[NTG-context] Spacing for {\cal P} in XITS

2012-05-29 Thread Janne Junnila
Hi,

I just noticed that the spacing after ${\cal P}$ looks a bit too tight
(non-existent?) while using XITS fonts.

\setupbodyfont[xits]
\starttext
The spacing of ${\cal P}$ looks like this.
\stoptext

I'm not sure if the other calligraphic letters are totally fine
either, but this one caught my eye. I suppose it's a font issue. Any
ideas?

Re: [NTG-context] Spacing for {\cal P} in XITS

2012-05-29 Thread Andy Thomas
Hello,

it looks off on my computer (Mac 10.6 with preview and acrobat) and with the 
context-standalone (from 1 hour ago). However, it does work with TL2011 (not 
12). 

Then, I copied (overwrote) the fonts from TL into the standalone (from 
/Library/TeX/Root/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/xits/ to 
~/context/tex/texmf/fonts/opentype/public/xits/) and deleted the cache. But 
that did not help, the context standalone still produces the 'too-close P'. I 
also tried the newest font files from yesterday, but still no luck. Hope that 
help finding the bug. 

Andy

P.S. Is there more to be considered than only the font files (the .otf s)?

Doesn't seem to be only macs, I'm on Linux using the latest beta. The
PDF I get is like the one Michael sent earlier. I tried other
calligraphic letters with the vrules, and it seems that some of them

[NTG-context] Is it possible to define a custom imposition schema? (sure it is, but how?)

2012-05-29 Thread Marco Pessotto

Hello there.

I'd need a custom imposition schema, just like the 2*4*2, but first the
sheets will be folded, then inserted in signatures of 16 pages, and then
finally bound. (They said the machine can fold only one sheet).

I came up with 3 solutions (or 3 hacks, as you wish):

1. psutils/pstops 

2. layers

3. hack page-imp.mkiv


1. The first solution would be the faster, but after spending a day on
it I gave up, because I have endless issue with cropped pages, paper
dimension not correctly set, and I only scratched the surface. I don't
know if exists some support for psutils (doesn't look so), but I have
the feeling that software is pretty dead.

2. Layers: I'm attaching the code below. Does it seem sensible, or is
there a better way to do it? (I'll create a template from that, and will
loop over every 16 pages with the usual perl hack). It seems to work,
even if visually it looks a bit shifted to right (I can adjust
it manually). [An alternate approach could be just various \hbox, but
maybe the layer solution is better for absolute positioning]

3. page-imp.mkiv would be the best solution (obviously). I've dug a bit
into the code, but I'm in deep waters. I can't understand where the
sequence of the pages is defined. the \pusharrangedpageSCHEMA seems just
to define the position inside the page, not the sequence of the shipped
out page. Also, what are \c_page_marks_nx and \c_page_marks_ny?  Any
hint about how this machinery works?


Thanks

Best wishes

2012-05-29 Thread Willi Egger
Hi Marco,

If I understand correctly what you need is a system which is basically based on 
booklet-printing but each booklet should be restricted to 16 pages.
In this case you might try 

\setuparranging[2*2*4]

This scheme put two pages on the front and two pages on the backside of a sheet 
of paper. Then it uses 4 sheets to complete the section.

Hello Hans, thanks for the reply.

I looked at the poppers and I can't understand what they do. I think
I'll go with the layers solution :-) (I'm good at workarounds and
hacking there is an overkill for what I'm trying to do)

Hello Willi, thanks for your reply.

No, the scheme is quite complicated (from 1 to 16) because the pages are
first folded, then the two *folded* sheets are inserted one into the
other, and then signature is bound and trimmed.

So the scheme looks so (R means rotated 180°):

 
 13 R | 4 R
 --- 
 16   |  1


 3 R  | 14 R
 ---
 2| 15


 9 R  | 8 R
 ---
 12   |  5

 7R   | 10R
 --
 6|  11


Yes, that's crazy (if you ask me). As I said, I'll go with the layers
and a perl helper, the outcome looks almost fine.

2012-05-29 Thread Willi Egger

To my knowledge the printer will have more hand-work than accepting that e.g. 
the 2*4*2 or the 2*2*4 scheme is used. - Again, if I understand you correctly, 
then the folding machine can only do a single fold. So after assembling the 
section with two folded sheets still a manual fold must be made along the 
spine. I expect that the assembly is quite unstable if it has to be 
stitched/sewn.

 In the first case one can pick two sheets and fold them twice, resulting in a 
16 pages section. Such folded sections are stable for stitching/sewing.  Even 
more easy  is the 2*2*4 approach, with a single folding over the spine you end 
up with a section of 16 pages. This kind of section is reasonably stable for 
stitching/sewing.

 Hi Marco,
 
 If I understand correctly what you need is a system which is basically
 based on booklet-printing but each booklet should be restricted to 16
 pages.  In this case you might try
 
 \setuparranging[2*2*4]
 
 This scheme put two pages on the front and two pages on the backside
 of a sheet of paper. Then it uses 4 sheets to complete the section.

 Hello Willi, thanks for your reply.
 
 No, the scheme is quite complicated (from 1 to 16) because the pages are
 first folded, then the two *folded* sheets are inserted one into the
 other, and then signature is bound and trimmed.
 
 So the scheme looks so (R means rotated 180°):
 
 
 13 R | 4 R
 --- 
 16   |  1
 
 
 3 R  | 14 R
 ---
 2| 15
 
 
 9 R  | 8 R
 ---
 12   |  5
 
 7R   | 10R
 --
 6|  11
 
 
 Yes, that's crazy (if you ask me). As I said, I'll go with the layers
 and a perl helper, the outcome looks almost fine.
 
 Best wishes

Re: [NTG-context] Is it possible to define a custom imposition schema? (sure it is, but how?)

Willi Egger cont...@boede.nl writes:

 To my knowledge the printer will have more hand-work than accepting
 that e.g. the 2*4*2 or the 2*2*4 scheme is used. - Again, if I
 understand you correctly, then the folding machine can only do a
 single fold. So after assembling the section with two folded sheets
 still a manual fold must be made along the spine. I expect that the
 assembly is quite unstable if it has to be stitched/sewn.

Hi Willi,

thanks for your truly inshightful reply. I'll discuss this with the
people doing the printing/folding/binding, because, as you noted,
something here doesn't feel right.

Thanks again

Best wishes

Re: [NTG-context] Spacing for {\cal P} in XITS

 Doesn't seem to be only macs, I'm on Linux using the latest beta. The
 PDF I get is like the one Michael sent earlier. I tried other

 have similar issues, just not as striking as with P.

It was a bit buzzling, but I think I found it, it seems the lines:

italics = {
[xits-math] = italics,
},

in xits-math.lfg (`mtxrun --find-file` to locate it), prevents the
application of italic correction for some reason, removing it resolves
the issue. I didn't experience it because I had a different
xits-math.lfg in my ~/texmf tree.

Hans, what those lines are supposed to do?

Re: [NTG-context] Where is the documentation of the letter module

2012-05-29 Thread Florian Wobbe
 is there anyone else who knows where the current correspondence docu 
 resides? I tried again to locate it but to no avail.
 
 There is some guidance about what's new in these messages:
 
 http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2012/064695.html
 
 http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2012/065039.html

Michael, thanks a lot. These were in fact the missing links! With the help of 
the comments in the thread above and looking into the sources I was able to 
reproduce most of my old letter template. However, I'm struggling to get the 
enclosures into an itemized list. This used to work with the old letter module 
but now fails:

  \startletter[enclosure={A\\B\\C}, ...] -- encl: AcrlfBcrlfC

In http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2012/064721.html Wolfgang proposed 
\startletter[enclosure={list:one,two,three}, ...] to get an itemized list. But 
this does not seem to be implemented yet. How would I get this right?


Wolfgang, I believe I found a bug that introduces some extra space in the 
backaddress: fromname, extra space, fromaddress. Here is the fix:

--- a/texmf-modules/tex/context/third/letter/base/s-cor-01.mkvi

[NTG-context] A bibliography difficulty

2012-05-29 Thread Alasdair McAndrew
In my list of references, I can't get the author or title (of journal
article) to print.  In my .tex file, I have the following lines:

\usemodule[bib]
\setuppublications[alternative=ams,refcommand=num,numbering=yes]

and in my .bbl file the (so far) only reference is:

\startpublication[k=birn06,
  t=article,
  a=D.~Birnbache,
  y=1999]
  \author{Dieter}{}{Birnbache}
  \title{The Socratic method in teaching medical ethics: Potentials and
limitations}
  \pubyear{1999}
  \journal{Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy}
  \volume{2}
  \issue{3}
  \pages{219-224}
\stoppublication

However, when I typeset the file, the reference list consists of

[1] , Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy 2, 219 (1999).

I'm a little confused about all the variables, commands and parameters.  So
- first, what am I doing wrong?  Second, are there somewhere out there some
example files of bibliography usage (I learn best by seeing what other
people have done, and adapting that to my own ends)?  Third: can I include
the references in the body of the .tex file (as you can do with LaTeX and
the thebibliography environment)?

Thanks,
Alasdair
