Re: [NTG-context] RTL problem with figure numbers

[Mohammad Hossein Bateni]

Thanks, this works for figures.

I couldn't get the same to work for chapters, sections, etc.

\setuphead[chapter,section][conversion=lefttorightnumber]

This does not have any effect.


The solution I had in the first email of this thread (see below) has
another issue, which I discovered later.

\setuphead[chapter,title,section,subject][numbercommand=\righttoleft]

The 12th section in the first chapter is written as 1.12 instead of 12.1; I
want the latter because of r2l align.

Another question: how do I change the separator to something else, say --?
I have played with separator and separatorset, but neither seems to work.

Re: [NTG-context] RTL problem with figure numbers

I just found a solution to the last question:

\defineseparatorset[dashsep][][{--}]
\setuphead[section][sectionseparatorset=dashsep]

I did not understand how to use 

"use \setupalign[r2l] and \righttoleft and not the dir primitives"

Do you mean that i should remove these lines ?

\pagedir TRT
\bodydir TRT
\pardir TRT
\textdir TRT


How should i use \setupalign[r21] and \righttoleft

i have added your code above the starttext area and it did not make any 
change

By using right 

\setupmargindata
 [margintext]
 [align=r2l]

and 
\setupalign[r2l]

The margin arabic text appears correctly

But the arabic texts in the header is still the same.

Is it just a case of having that parsing call \xmlsetentity?

After setting up a mwe I found that it is a font related issue.

Re: [NTG-context] pagereferences

[Wolfgang Schuster]

Meer, Hans van der 
17. Januar 2016 um 20:43
Thanks Wolfgang. I am experimenting with your code and there has 
arisen a problem. The book I am typesetting has some pages before the 
text on page-1 starts (cover and so on). Therefore the code

\def\mypageref[#1]{\setpagestate[hvdm][#1]\color[red]{page=\pagenumber\ and 
pageref=\pagestaterealpage{hvdm}{#1}}}
produces "page=29 and pageref=31". Not as intended. Do I change the 
macro \pagestaterealpage into what macro? I tried \pagestatepage, but 
that wasn't the right idea.


Now what further to change?
You can use the dataset command which lets you store other information, 
e.g. the current value of the visible pagenumber.


\definedataset[hans][delay=yes]

\setupuserpagenumber[number=3]

\starttext

One\setdataset[hans][one][pagenumber=\userpagenumber]

\page[+2]

Two\setdataset[hans][two][pagenumber=\userpagenumber]

Three\setdataset[hans][three][pagenumber=\userpagenumber]

\blank

\ifnum0\datasetvariable{hans}{two}{realpage}=0\datasetvariable{hans}{one}{realpage}
The references are on the same page.
\else
The references are on different pages.
\fi

\blank

\ifnum0\datasetvariable{hans}{two}{realpage}=0\datasetvariable{hans}{three}{realpage}
The references are on the same page.
\else
The references are on different pages.
\fi

\page

\starttabulate
\NC One   \NC \datasetvariable{hans}{one}{pagenumber}   \NC\NR
\NC Two   \NC \datasetvariable{hans}{two}{pagenumber}   \NC\NR
\NC Three \NC \datasetvariable{hans}{three}{pagenumber} \NC\NR

I don't know, actually. In this case these are values which remain
constant throughout the document. So all I'm after here is a mechanism
for storing variables by name. Is there something more appropriate to
use for those kind of variables?
You can use the \setvariables command the set the values and access them 
with \getvariables:


\setvariables
  [information]
  [title=Document title,
   author=Author name]

\setupinteraction
  [ state=start,
title=\getvariable{information}{title},
   author=\getvariable{information}{title}]

\starttext
\unknown
\stoptext


There is also the \setupdocument command (a simple wrapper for the 
\setvariables command)
which uses predefined keywords to set fields in the pdf file. You can 
access the values from

\setupdocument command in your document with \documentvariable{}.

\setupdocument
  [ metadata:title=Document title,
   metadata:author=Author name]

\setupinteraction[state=start]

\starttext
\unknown
\stoptext

Thanks! I remembered about \setvariables just after asking. I think
that suits my situation more than \setupdocument, since I'm doing this
from handling various different kinds of XML, and this way I can keep
the call to \setupinteraction shared between all of them.

Thanks, again, these are useful pointers.

\startdocument
  [title=My title,

I didn't know markings only exist in headers and footers! Thanks.

[title=Document title,
author=Me]
It doesn’t matter if you set the values with \setupdocument or 
\startdocument.

Here, I learn about metadata:title=
which suggests that I could do without
\setupinteraction
[state=start,
title={\getvariable{document}{title}},
author={\getvariable{document}{author}}]

You can use \documentvariable{...} to access the values.

But, if I want to use the title etc. in the title page, should I do
something like:

\starttitlepagemakeup
\getvariable{document}{metadata:title}
\stoptitlepagemakeup

It depends, when you want the title in the pdf without a manual setting
with \setupinteraction you can use the value of “metadata:title” in your
document.

Re: [NTG-context] pagereferences

[Meer, Hans van der]

Thanks Wolfgang. I am experimenting with your code and there has arisen a 
problem. The book I am typesetting has some pages before the text on page-1 
starts (cover and so on). Therefore the code
\def\mypageref[#1]{\setpagestate[hvdm][#1]\color[red]{page=\pagenumber\ and 
pageref=\pagestaterealpage{hvdm}{#1}}}
produces "page=29 and pageref=31". Not as intended. Do I change the macro 
\pagestaterealpage into what macro? I tried \pagestatepage, but that wasn't the 
right idea.

Now what further to change?

In order to customize  the reference myself my idea is something along the line 
of:
  \def\myatpage[#1]{ \scratchcounter=\at[#1]\relax\ifnum=\pagenumber etcetera.
But this gives an error, as dus \expanded{\at[#1]}, as does 
\expandafter\scratchcounter=
The error is Missing number, treated as zero..

Do you have a hint how to proceed?

Defining \pagereference[xyz] en calling this some pages later with \atpage[xyz] 
I get as reference "at a previous page" (perhaps not exactly, the typesetting 
is done in dutch).
The english text is “on a preceding page”.
This an unwanted result, that previous page is 7 pages before.
The test is still true before “on *a* preceding page” is not the same as “on 
*the* preceding page”.
How can I restrict this to either "on this page" or to the exact number of the 
page in question?
You can print the number with \at[].

I seem to remember seeing a demo (either by Hans or Idris) for Arabic

that assumes features in the font that can make text run wider or narrower

easier is to use \setupalign[stretch,tolerant]

[NTG-context] Instalation ConTeXt to MAC - newbie problem

[Jaroslav Hajtmar]

Hello ConTeXist.
I am trying to install a standalone ConTeXt on MacBook. I am doing 
everything exactly as instructed on contextgarden.net, but the 
installation will fail. It seems that the problem is with rsync, with 
copying the installation script first-setup.sh into my Mac. Since I am a 
longtime Windows user and I'm a newbie on OS X, I'd like to find out 
what the problem may be. I dont know nothing about OS X, but I suppose 
that might be a problem with the firewall settings or access rights to 
the directories which  I use to install ConTeXt etc. Can someone please 
advise how to perform the installation? There is an option to download 
the installation package and install ConTeXt differently?

Thanks for replies.

Re: [NTG-context] Instalation ConTeXt to MAC - newbie problem

Hi Jaroslav,

could you explain a bit more what you mean by "the installation will fail”?

What error message do you get at what stage?

You need to make sure that you have write permission to the installation 
directory; anything inside your home directory should be safe.
Also, as a general precaution, make sure the path to your installation 
directory doesn’t contain unusual characters.

Re: [NTG-context] Instalation ConTeXt to MAC - newbie problem

[Jaroslav Hajtmar]

Hello Matthias.
Thank you for the quick response. During installation, no error occurs, 
even seems that rsync copied without error message first-setup.sh to my 
%HOME/context directory. When then I look into this directory, then 
there is no file. Subsequently command sudo sh ./first-setup.sh reports 
nonexistent file or directory. I tried to install it into your 
Applications folder too (I have administrative access), but not in this 
way I have not done.


(As you say: home directory should be safe and path no occure any 
problematic characters. My home directory is "hajtmar")


Thanx Jaroslav

access rights to the directories which  I use to install ConTeXt etc. Can 
someone please advise how to perform the installation? There is an option to 
download the installation package and install ConTeXt differently?
Thanks for replies.

Re: [NTG-context] Instalation ConTeXt to MAC - newbie problem

[Weber, Matthias]

Here is what I do:

Tetrahedron:ConTeXt matthias$ mkdir ~/context
Tetrahedron:ConTeXt matthias$ cd ~/context
Tetrahedron:context matthias$ rsync -ptv 
rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/first-setup.sh .
first-setup.sh

sent 38 bytes  received 3636 bytes  1469.60 bytes/sec
total size is 3525  speedup is 0.96


and the files are definitely there. Do you have a space in /context directory? 
Then you might need apostrophes.

Hi Jaroslav,

could you explain a bit more what you mean by "the installation will fail”?

What error message do you get at what stage?

You need to make sure that you have write permission to the installation 
directory; anything inside your home directory should be safe.
Also, as a general precaution, make sure the path to your installation 
directory doesn’t contain unusual characters.

Re: [NTG-context] Instalation ConTeXt to MAC - newbie problem

[Otared Kavian]

Hello Jaroslav,

Here is what I do on my Mac:

1) While in the Finder, create a folder named Context-standalone

2) Put the attached file « first-setup.sh »  in the folder Context-standalone

3) Open Terminal and issue the command

cd [Path-to-the-folder-Context-standalone]

4) Then in Terminal issue the command

ls first-setup.sh

you should see something beginning with:

-rwxr-xr-x  

that is the file has an « x » in its or your rights, that is it is executable.

If this not the case, using the command below make sure it has that right:

chmod +x first-setup.sh

5) Once this is done, issue the command

sh first-setup.sh

6) In principle you should end up with all files necessary for Context working 
in the folder Context-standalone

7) If this is not the case, please report at which step things do not work as 
expected.

Best regards: OK

[NTG-context] pagereferences

[Meer, Hans van der]

Defining \pagereference[xyz] en calling this some pages later with \atpage[xyz] 
I get as reference "at a previous page" (perhaps not exactly, the typesetting 
is done in dutch).

This an unwanted result, that previous page is 7 pages before.

How can I restrict this to either "on this page" or to the exact number of the 
page in question?

Re: [NTG-context] Instalation ConTeXt to MAC - newbie problem

Hello.
Thanks to Otared and Matthias too for their solutions. Otared's method 
is working, Mathias method unfortunaly not working. ConTeXt is already 
installed on my MacBookAir. I dont know why, but It seems that for some 
reason rsync does not download the first-setup.sh file into my 
installation directory. After I put first-setup.sh file manually into 
install directory and then I run the installation script, then 
everything is all right till the end. At this moment, I still struggle 
with settings an appropriate environment variables so that everything 
worked like on my Windows PC installation. Running at (for me) an 
unfamiliar OS-X it is for me still long run (but adventurous) :-).
However installation on my MAC is currently commissioned and 
operational. Thanks for the advices.

[NTG-context] TeX markup in \setupinteraction for PDF metadata fields

[Kate F]

Hi,

Is it possible to have TeX markup executed in the text fields for
\setupinteraction?
I would like to do something like:

\definemarking[xyz]
\marking[xyz]{Hello}
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\setupinteraction[title={\getmarking[xyz][current]}]
\setupinteraction[author={\getmarking[xyz][current]}]
\starttext
xyz=\getmarking[xyz][current]
\stoptext

But my generated PDF has literally "\getmarking[xyz][current]}" for
the title and author.

Thanks,

Re: [NTG-context] Instalation ConTeXt to MAC - newbie problem

[Otared Kavian]

Hi Jaroslav,

On Mac, you can use TeXShop and your standalone Context very easily.
First create a specific « .engine » file for this and then in TeXShop use that 
engine. 
Here is what I have when I typeset a file in TeXShop using mkiv ConTeXt:

% begin file mkiv.engine

#!/bin/bash

export PATH=/Volumes/OK/context-minimal/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin:$PATH
context --synctex=zipped --autogenerate "$1" --purgeall

% end file mkiv.engine

you should replace the line « export PATH=…. » by the path to your installation 
of ConTeXt. More precisely you should replace 

/Volumes/OK/context-minimal

with the path going to the folder where your Context installation sits (in your 
case it is where you have put the file first-setup.sh).

Then this file « mkiv.engine » should be put in the folder

Library/TeXShop/Engines


Once this is done, you have three solutions in order to use TeXShop with your 
standalone Context. Here they are: 

Solution 1: add the following line at the top of your source file:

%!TEX TS-program = mkiv

Note that in the above you may replace « mkiv » with whatever engine name known 
to your TeXShop installation (for instance « ContextSuite», or any other name 
you have, or (may God forgive both of us…) even « latex »…). 
When you typeset with ConTeXt, then TeXShop will use the chosen engine.

Solution 2: when your source file is open, you should have, at the top of your 
window, a small menu named « Program ». Click on that menu and among the 
programs (that is the engines) choose the one you want.

Solution 3: open the TeXShop Preferences and in the « Typesetting » pane , on 
the upper left part of the resulting window, choose the radio button « Command 
listed below » and type the name of your preferred engine. This method makes a 
general default, so if you use some other typesetting packages for some files 
you have to modify things for those files.

Best regards: OK

Are you sure you want to use marks to store text because the mechanism

Re: [NTG-context] Instalation ConTeXt to MAC - newbie problem

[Jaroslav Hajtmar]

Hello Otared.
Thanks for inspiring advice. Be sure that I will try everything setting 
up so that I ConTeXt work as on my PC and Windows. After 25 years of 
using Windows, I would never say that I will experiment with MacBook and 
OS-X. At the moment, I am pleased that I cease to be dependent on any OS 
platform and freely move between multiple computers with different 
operating systems. It's a super feeling that after twenty years, I feel 
that I am not dependent on a particular computer. With most of the 
software I have no problem, I just ConTeXt still missed on the MacBook. 
Now it's all OK.
Thanks for the advice, perhaps maybe I'll ever for you further advice 
about ConTeXt on OS-X.

adventurous) :-).
However installation on my MAC is currently commissioned and 
operational. Thanks for the advices.

Hello Jaroslav,

Here is what I do on my Mac:

1) While in the Finder, create a folder named Context-standalone

2) Put the attached file « first-setup.sh »  in the folder 
Context-standalone


3) Open Terminal and issue the command

cd [Path-to-the-folder-Context-standalone]

4) Then in Terminal issue the command

ls first-setup.sh

you should see something beginning with:

-rwxr-xr-x

that is the file has an « x » in its or your rights, that is it is 
executable.


If this not the case, using the command below make sure it has that 
right:


chmod +x first-setup.sh

5) Once this is done, issue the command

sh first-setup.sh

6) In principle you should end up with all files necessary for 
Context working in the folder Context-standalone


7) If this is not the case, please report at which step things do 
not work as expected.


Best regards: OK

Hello Matthias.
Thank you for the quick response. During installation, no error 
occurs, even seems that rsync copied without error message 
first-setup.sh to my %HOME/context directory. When then I look into 
this directory, then there is no file. Subsequently command sudo sh 
./first-setup.sh reports nonexistent file or directory. I tried to 
install it into your Applications
