Re: [NTG-context] complete cover example

2020-05-12 Thread jbf 

Hi Marcus,

That is very good of you, and a good example of 'cultivando o bem'! 
Parabéns!


I have downloaded the code. My OS is also Linux. I shall take a good 
look at it.


Thank you,

Julian

Hi, Julian

I uploaded to github a cover I designed and created with ConTeXt some 
time ago for a book I typesetted called “Cultivando o bem” for a

It is quite a complete example and illustrates the power of ConTeXt.
The comments in the code are sparse and not exactly detailed as you 
wish, but I hope it will be useful to you.

My OS is linux and I use a Makefile to generate all the necessary files.

[NTG-context] new lmtx upload

2020-05-12 Thread Hans Hagen 

Hi,

The tex engine has at most 65K dimen and count registers and these can 
be local and global (although mixing these two models for the same 
variable can be inefficient).


Anyway, in the current upload there is a mechanism for using way more 
variables, global ones, that are managed by lua:


\luadimen test 100pt

\scratchdimen = .25 \luadimen test

\the\scratchdimen

\the\luadimen test

So, they act as normal dimensions and counters wrt assignment and 
serialization and such. There are also floats and booleans (in addition 
to integers and cardinals).


Then, as another experiment, there are one/two dimensional arrays of 
variables. Think of:


\newarray name whatever type integer nx 100 ny 500

\arrayvalue whatever 20 30 1024

\the\arrayvalue whatever 10 30

\the\arrayvalue whatever 20 30

\the\arrayvalue whatever 30 30

Some more info can be found in the last chapoter of the evenmore.pdf 
document. The question is: do we need this, and if so, do we need more 
of that. It's a bit chicken-egg case: we can have lua and can pipe back 
to tex, and we can stay at the tex end.


This is a lmtx only feature. Just for the record: these are macros, not 
primitives, but they are rather efficient and have hardly any overhead.


The floats can be in 1.23 format, 1.23e45 format and also in 0x12p34 
format, while integers can be in 123 format and 0x123 format; the hex 
float format is lua's way of being roundtrip.


Hopefully there are no side effects.

Hans

Re: [NTG-context] Retrieving original value of enviroment variable HOME

What's wrong?


I can try.

I found 'oldhome' text in these files:

d:\Ctx-Beta\tex\texmf-context\scripts\context\lua\mtxrun.lua
d:\Ctx-Beta\tex\texmf-context\scripts\context\stubs\mswin\mtxrun.lua

d:\Ctx-Beta\tex\texmf-mswin\bin\mtxrun.lua

Which files do you recommend to try to insert debug prints into?

And - once I "inject" an extra debug info - do I have to call 
"context.exe --make --generate" (or similar)?

I don't know ... maybe it pick up HOME from someplace else (the outer
process space or so)

you can insert prints (say os.getenv('HOME')) and see what happens

if it was of importance.)

i have no problem here running from a mapped drive (nothing changed in
that areas either) and i would have noticed it as i have several
network drives


here I'm running om Win7 64b.

I fixed the problem somehow:

- As normally I'm not running ConTeXt directly by "context.exe" but via 
.bat file (some more actions to do), I added a code into .bat which 
changes source file name from "x:\...\..." to "x:/...\...". (It's 
performed by Lua's 'fname:gsub(":\\", ":/")' actually.) And it works 
now.


(But my previously reported problem appeared on running 'context.exe', 
i.e. without any auxiliary .bat.)

You need to remake the fomat (and make sure you have the right 
mtxrun/context scripts).
