[NTG-context] Weird error when using \startformula inside lua
I sometimes define lua functions for showing out worked out calculations. The
following minimal example shows that
context([[\startformula ... \stopformula]])
fails in LMTX with an error message:
tex error > tex error on line 3 in file ./test.tex: Undefined control
sequence \undefined
MWE:
\startluacode
thirddata = thirddata or {}
local comment = [[
This is a famous formula
\startformula
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
\stopformula
]]
function thirddata.explanation()
context(comment)
end
\stopluacode
\starttext
\ctxlua{thirddata.explanation()}
\stoptext
The actual use case is more complicated (where I use templates, so I don't want
to convert everything to context.startformula() etc.). The example compiles
with MkIV but not LMTX.
Any idea what is going on?
Thanks,
Aditya

[NTG-context] Setting up the double pages of part beginnings
Dear List,
I am trying to set up double pages at the beginning of a new part in such a
way that:
- on an odd/right-hand page there will be number and the title typeset in
some fashion, and
- on the even/left-hand page there should be a full (printpaper)size image.
If the part title ends up on an even page then there is no additional page
break (but then image and title are not on the same double-page obviously).
But there is a page break (and an empty left page) when the part title ends
up on an odd page (when you put page=right e.g.) as in the following
example:
%
% How to get rid of the empty page preceding a part title?
%
\setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided]
\setupexternalfigures[location=default] % cow
% startTEXpage does not increase page number => incrementpagenumber
% trimming in the print shop => printpaperwidth/height
\define[1]\FullScreen{\startTEXpage\externalfigure[#1][width=\printpaperwidth,height=\printpaperheight]\stopTEXpage\incrementpagenumber}
% tried page=yes/no/right/odd
\setuphead
[part]
[placehead=yes,
page=right,
before={\nowhitespace}, % ???
]
\starttext
\completecontent
\FullScreen{cow}
\startpart[title={A nice part}]
Some text ...
\stoppart
\FullScreen{cow}
\startpart[title={A nice part}]
Some text ...
\stoppart
\stoptext
On an additional note: I would love to utilise the XML capabilities of
context, so ... is the usage of \startTEpage XML-export-friendly?
Anyway, best regards, thank you for your patience in advance and a happy
weekend for everybody!
Cheers
Christian

Re: [NTG-context] LuaMetaTEX as LaTeX to XHTML/ePub transpiler?
Oh, as a a more general response I can only reiterate what has been said
already: Depending on your particular needs it might be better to start with
some neutral input and generate output formats from there. There are plenty of
options each with particular up- and downsides, e.g. markdown via pandoc, or
asciidoc., or XML with XSLT. In the Racket ecosystem there's also
scribble/pollen which looks quite interesting. I have never used that though.

indeed, stay with what you're happy working with
But now I also want to create ePub/XHTML as well as print versions.
So far I've tried tex4ebook and tex4ht and neither works for me.
Firstly, some of the LaTeX commands are not recognised or causing
errors.
i suppose that you can define commands that somehow make your own
commands export something; i have no experience with latex or tex4ht
And secondly, when I managed to get a small test section to work,
the generated XHTML/HTML is very large, full of tiny s. The
problem seems to be that tex4ht runs TeX which typesets everything
into DVI with every element carefully placed on a page, and then
tex4ht tries to reverse that back into HTML. All this extra HTML
will slow down / interfere with the ebook reader which is doing the
final page layout at runtime on a particular device.
that's probbaly because there is not enough info in the dvi file ...
maybe you can use xslt to sanitize the spans?
How I would like it to work is directly from LaTeX to HTML without
any low level typesetting. If I have a LaTex source paragraph
This is some text with \textbf{some parts} in bold.
so kind of interpreting
The TEX will copy the source text to the destination. If
there's a TeX command, here \textbf, it looks for a Lua function
with that name and invokes it with whatever argument text is present.
The Lua function emits , then recursively processes the argument
text, then emits . Similarly there would be an implied lookup
of \beginParagraph and \endParagraph which would emit and .
Plain text just gets copied through unchanged.
i once played with this (context speak):
\def\textbf#1{\type{}#1\type{}}
so, you define all the commands that you use (normally a subset of what
a macro package provides, you just ignore what doesn't make sense)
then you define a very large page (say A1) that you use completely
then you typeset the document in verbatim (nil headers and footers)
the resulting pdf can then be converted to html with pdftotex or
something like that
so, basically, you just typeset the html
So (finally) my question: is LuaMetaTEX what I'm looking for?
in this area there is nothing in luametatex that luatex can't do
Yes is the answer I'm hoping for. And any guidance would be much
appreciated.
as said, i don't know latex but context has an xml export option
> No, but best starting point? I've never tried modifying TeX code
itself, but I am an experienced and sometimes competent programmer.
who has written a compiler parser and a high level code generator.
so, if your source uses a limited set of commands you can write a parser
(in any language)
No and not a good idea to try?
Any other responses?
you can consider coding your documents in xml and convert them to latex
and html .. neutral input so to say

[NTG-context] LuaMetaTEX as LaTeX to XHTML/ePub transpiler?
I have documents in LaTeX, and would like to generate XHTML (ePub)
output without going through an intermediate DVI or PDF step.
Markup to markup, translating or transpiling rather than typesetting.
My use case is that I have two tabletop gaming books, 60 - 80 pages
of text and diagrams, written for pdfLaTeX and now with XeLaTeX. I'm
very happy with LaTeX and the wonderful PDF output for print.
But now I also want to create ePub/XHTML as well as print versions.
So far I've tried tex4ebook and tex4ht and neither works for me.
Firstly, some of the LaTeX commands are not recognised or causing
errors.
And secondly, when I managed to get a small test section to work,
the generated XHTML/HTML is very large, full of tiny s. The
problem seems to be that tex4ht runs TeX which typesets everything
into DVI with every element carefully placed on a page, and then
tex4ht tries to reverse that back into HTML. All this extra HTML
will slow down / interfere with the ebook reader which is doing the
final page layout at runtime on a particular device.
How I would like it to work is directly from LaTeX to HTML without

Hi, Hans
The enableexperiments switches you pointed to solved the problem for the
mwe I sent, but I'll take a look at the texmfcnf.lua configuration file to
learn more.
Thank you for your suggestions.

Todas as coisas fatigam o corpo, salvo a música, que não fatiga nem o corpo
nem seus membros, por ser descanso da alma, primavera do coração, distração
do aflito, entretenimento do solitário, e viático do viajante.

Re: [NTG-context] Default page layout

Please advise. this is indeed the default, originating in initial usage decades ago: singlesided stapled prints and a wide outer margin for making notes you can do \setuplayout[width=middle,height=middle] as well as \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] and more like that Hans - Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl - ___ 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://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
[NTG-context] Why do we install context in $HOME/bin?
Dear all, the installation documentation on the wiki says: mkdir $HOME/bin/context cd $HOME/bin/context wget http://lmtx.pragma-ade.nl/install-lmtx/context-linux-64.zip unzip context-linux-64.zip sh install.sh AFAIR we had $HOME/context before. Is this intended? Is it because $HOME/bin is often in $PATH by default? What is the advantage to do it like this? juh -- Autoren-Homepage: . http://literatur.hasecke.com Satiren & Essays: . http://www.sudelbuch.de Privater Blog: http://www.hasecke.eu Netzliteratur-Projekt: http://www.generationenprojekt.de signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ 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://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
