Re: [NTG-context] Multi-page textbackground ignores topoffset
Nicholas, Is there any way to get a multi-page textbackground to respect topoffset on each page? From the second page onwards, it leaves no offset at the top. I have the same problem. A small-not-so-good-hack would be to define a tiny backgroundoffset as well. This messes the layout a little... but you might think it is better then having no offset at all...

Re: [NTG-context] New module: simplesteps.
Hello!
thanks for the interesting contribution! Have a look at the patch
I hopefully don’t forget to append.
Thank you! I will take a look and learn... ;-)
[...]
I use \startbuffer and \stopbuffer, and also Lua. As I said, I don't
really know how to write a module... comments are very welcome.
Honestly, it doesn’t work, but that’s a minor flaw!
Sorry! I forgot to mention. Only a little subset of it works. I have
(already - so I don't forget to) attached a tex file that works.
[**lots of advices I will study carefully latter**]
[...]
I could not figure out how exactly the section block thingy is
supposed to work. It does not create the \startframe macro at all
-- is this something custom?
I don't know how to use this startframe yet. So, I am doing like
this right now: (numbers like 2-3 or 2- don't work yet)
=== START code snip ===
\startbuffer[simplesteps]
\startitemize
\item First item
\uncover[2,3,4]{\item Second item}
\uncover[3,4]{\item Second item}
\uncover[4]{\item Second item}
\stopitemize
\stopbuffer
\simplestepsplaybuffer
=== STOP code snip ===
The simplestepsplaybuffer macro simply calls the
simplesteps.playbuffer() lua function. This function plays the buffer
and determines if it has to be played again or not. If it does, then
it tex.print('\simplestepsplaybuffer').
The macros uncover determine how far the specification is from being
played. If it is being played now, then show. If it is played next,
then show in gray. And so on.
I infer it’s about the slide title
so I have \startframe call \section but that should be taken as a
placeholder at most. In my own slide module I use
\{start,stop}section with the option placehead=no and rely on the
page header to display the slide title (i.e. current section
running head). That was the laziest way I could imagine :P
I guess that's what I want to do. I just don't have the necessary
knowledge yet. ;-)
Some remarks:
- you should rename simplesteps.mkiv to t-simplesteps.mkiv,
indicating that it is a thirdparty module
I will. I think I will have a bitbucket repository exclusively for
modules. Then I will have the proper directory structure, the proper
naming scheme and hopefully proper documentation, xml, etc. (lots of
things to learn!)
- if you plan on expanding the code you eventually will come to
love this bit: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/System_Macros
- Context has a namespacing system which you might consider
switching to in the long term:
http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/58654
but it’s arguably an advanced method
Well, I do want to do it the right (recommended) way!
- maybe switch to mkvi as named parameters make rewriting
macros a breeze
Would you elaborate a bit further?
Is it ok if I send a PDF sample to the list?
I hope you can use the TEX file attached.
Cheers,
André Caldas.

Re: [NTG-context] New module: simplesteps.
- maybe switch to mkvi as named parameters make rewriting macros a breeze Would you elaborate a bit further? You can use for the parameter in your macros names instead of number, as you can see below the first definition uses “#1” for the argument while the second uses “#text”. You can force MkIV mode when you add “% macros=mkvi” at the top of the file. When your code is a external file (e.g. a module) you can give it “mkvi” as file extension (instead of the normal “tex” or “mkiv”) and don’t need this line anymore. I had tried named parameters and I didn't know why it was not working... now I know! :-) I have one question: - What does it happen when there is a quotation mark () inside the parameter?

Re: [NTG-context] New module: simplesteps.
These expand to Lua long strings, [===[ and ]===] respectively, without checking, so theoretically the same issue will arise iff your string contains ]===]. I consider the likelihood for this to happen to be too low to bother, but if you want to be absolutely on the safe side you can also use \luaescapestring. See the Luatex manual, section 2.3.6. The luaescapestring will also escape the quotation marks... :-) I will use it, then. I used to develop WEB systems. Very vulnerable to injection attacks. I really like things properly escaped...

Re: [NTG-context] New module: simplesteps.
Hello, OK!
You were so quick to write your module…
Thanks for sharing,
:-)
but I could not typeset the example file you sent:
I didn't get whether your file simplesteps.mkiv should be renamed
I did this on my machine:
1. Copy simplesteps.{lua,mkiv} to
texmf-local/tex/context/third/simplesteps/
In my case, it is here:
/home/andre/context_standalone/tex/texmf-local/tex/context/third/simplesteps
2. Clear the cache.
I don't really know the proper way to do that. So, I just removed the
directory texmf-cache. In my case:
rm /home/andre/context_standalone/tex/texmf-cache/ -rf
3. Compile:
context simpletest.tex
Maybe after you apply the changes suggested
by Wolfgang and Philip you are going to repost your moudle?
The module will be here:
https://bitbucket.org/andrecaldas/context-simplesteps
Hopefully, one day, here... ;-)
http://modules.contextgarden.net/
I will let you know.

Re: [NTG-context] toppath
Hello! Is 'toppath:' prefix working? I use it only with \component, \environment, \product, \project. It works even if I do like this: $ mkdir build $ cd build $ context ../src/products/assorted.tex context.exe Test\t-TopPath.mkiv In this situation compilation fails. How to make it work?

Re: [NTG-context] RFC: path relative to current file.
1. check for stack underflow; and/or such things are dealt with By assert, I mean: assert(inputstack[#inputstack], Input stack should never be empty when toppath() is called.) normally if inputstack[#inputstack] == nil then assume path . end is good enough ... Is inputstack[#inputstack] == nil ever supposed to happen? When reading from stdin, maybe... then, it is ok. (assert might make sense in situation where otherwise a crash would occur, but that never happens here) If it is not supposed to happen, then it would indicate a bug, and should be detected as early as possible.

I can do this only on Wednesday. local function toppath() [...] local pathname = dirname(inputstack[#inputstack] or ) I didn't check it in lua. But the unix command dirname returns . if given an empty string. That is, $ dirname '' . I don't know when inputstack could be empty... but maybe a warning should be issued, and the return value of toppath should be declared undefined. That is, it would be an error to call toppath if inputstack is empty. [...] resolvers.toppath = topath toppath? (double p) Then you can something: [...] \component toppath:/subpath/somefile.tex Nice. All given that the top of the inputstack is still ok. Maybe the code could have some sort of assertion to 1. check for stack underflow; and/or 2. check if the file somefile.tex exists in the directory being popped from the stack. Just for bug catching... If needed I can push/pop some relative code to start/stopcomponent alike code, in which case we will use a different prefix (no clue what name to use) I don't think it is needed, since the toppath mechanism is rather generic. Writing \component toppath:/subpath/somefile.tex is fine by me. Unless you think that start/stopcomponent should be deprecated (or, at least, discouraged) in favour of this new version. Maybe it would be nice to have a function that returns the value of inputstack[#inputstack]. But I don't know if it is useful... Thank you very very much for your time!

[NTG-context] RFC: path relative to current file.
Hello, list! A while ago, I raised a question about how to, in a tex, specify a file with a path relative to the currently being processed file. http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2012/069132.html http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2012/068902.html Even though the issue did not get much attention, I do believe it is the right thing to do. I wrote a module to implement a macro I called \pathrelativetome. My code is still a lot ugly. I don't know how to do many things in Lua, LuaTeX and ConTeXt. It can be found here: https://bitbucket.org/andrecaldas/math-video-classes/src/bade74046a6b/lib It would be REALLY NICE if the functionality of pathrelativetome was provided by ConTeXt. call it using, for example: context --usemodule=lib/relativetome src/products/assorted.tex Ugly things remaining: 1. pathstack should be initialized with the path of the first tex script. I.e.: src/products/, instead of pathstack[1] = 'src/products' 2. Functions pop and push should be local. (relativetome.lua) 3. Call function pop automatically, just like the push function is called automatically. 4. Avoid having to define \xproject, \xproduct, \xcomponent and \xenvironment. http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2012/069305.html Any suggestions/improvements are very welcome!

Re: [NTG-context] Frozen callback.
Why is document.MyCharacterMess a string? The sequencers use loadstring() internally (util-seq.lua), so you need to supply the namespace as a string.

Re: [NTG-context] Macro inside \component.
Hello!
Why don’t you use the \usepath command.
Because it is too magical. We DO need magic to locate system
libraries. But we DO NOT need magic to locate our own project files.
For this reason, the C language has
#include system_lib.h
and
#include local_lib.h
I don't want the file to be searched in a pile of directories. I know
exactly where the component is: it is, here:
open_mapping_theorem/notes.tex
but this location is relative to the product directory:
products/functional_analysis.
Which is relative to the project directory.
The recommended project structure is: project/products/components.
Each product is aware of its own components. And each component is
aware of its sub-components. But the components or the subcomponents
do not need to know anything about where exactly they live inside the
project. The only magic the products need, for example, is that
project wide environments are loaded automatically.
Suppose I have a project with a 100 products with 20 components each.
With all magic provided by the usepath, my components will have to be
too much aware of the remaining other 100 projects. Files will have to
have unique names, even if they are in different products.
I don't really know the internals of it, but the
\ctxloadluafile{module} looks like an example. In my system there is
the file:
/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/file-job.mkiv
inside it, there is a \ctxloadluafile to load file-job.lua. It seems
to me that ctxloadluafile looks for the lua file in the same directory
of the mkiv file that includes it. If this is not the way
ctxloadluafile is implemented, I would suggest that it be. If you load
the module using
context --usemodule=my_lib/my_module.mkiv my_product.tex, then, the
best bet is to load the my_module.lua from the same directory where
my_module.mkiv lives in. I am not sure, but I guess this is the
behaviour that makes most sense.
Another example is the PHP language. The behaviour of the required()
command is to look on the current working directory. And for that
reason, the PHP codes are full of:
require(dirname(__FILE__)./path/relative/file_to_include.php);
I believe thing should be:
1. Predictable.
2. Local.
For that reason, I don't want to use \usepath.
But even if this was not the case, it makes no sense to me that I
cannot call \component \macroname. Isn't it an expected behaviour?
André Caldas.

Re: [NTG-context] Current source directory.
Dear Sietse,
Thanks a lot!!!
Finally found it, after lots of trial-and-erroring through
likely-looking table names in file-job.lua: the stack of input files
is kept in resolvers.inputstack.
I don't program any lua. But I was taking a look at file-job.lua
myself. I have a lot to learn!! :-)
Assuming (absolute path of invocation
dir) + (path of file relative to invocation dir) = the desired path,
I don't mind this assumption.
Actually, I don't mind having a path relative to the currdir.
the following should work.
\cldcontext{
environment.runpath .. '/' ..
file.pathpart(resolvers.inputstack[#resolvers.inputstack])
}
I will try this now.
You may or may not want to parse out any ./ and ../ components.
No, I don't need that.
(If you do: helpful filename manipulation functions (such as
file.pathpart, indeed) may be found in l-file.lua.)
Thanks for the tip. Might be useful someday.
Hope this helps,
It does! :-)
Although, I think there should be a luatex command for this. That
is, something not related to ConTeXt.
Thank you,
André Caldas.

Re: [NTG-context] Current source directory.
Hi!
the following should work.
\cldcontext{
environment.runpath .. '/' ..
file.pathpart(resolvers.inputstack[#resolvers.inputstack])
}
Sorry, to ask such a dumb question...
- Do I need to include file-job.lua somehow?

Re: [NTG-context] Current source directory.

No need to include it, it's part of the ConTeXt core.
[...]
Is it working for you?
No. I get:
! LuaTeX error main ctx instance:1: attempt to get length of field
'inputstack' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
main ctx instance:1: in main chunk.
system tex error on line 6 in file
products/topologia_geral.tex: LuaTeX error ...
[*snip]
\cldcontext ...\directlua \zerocount {context(#1)}
l.6 }
By the way, context --version gives:
mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 0.52
mtx-context |
mtx-context | main context file:
/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/context.mkiv
mtx-context | current version: 2012.05.30 11:26

Re: [NTG-context] Current source directory.
My mistake: I tested the code I gave you in \startluacode, but then
for the e-mail I wrapped it in \cldcontext.
I had tested it using startluacode, also. :-(
These two versions both work, and I actually tested them this time:
\startluacode
context(environment.runpath .. '/' ..
file.pathpart(resolvers.inputstack[#resolvers.inputstack])
)
\stopluacode
I get this:
! LuaTeX error main ctx instance:3: attempt to get length of field
'inputstack' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
main ctx instance:3: in main chunk.
system tex error on line 7 in file
products/topologia_geral.tex: LuaTeX error ...
[...]
})ted text ...resolvers.inputstack])
\luat_start_lua_code_indeed ...ua \zerocount {#1}}
l.7 \stopluacode
\cldcontext{
environment.runpath .. '/' ..
file.pathpart(resolvers.inputstack[table.getn(resolvers.inputstack)])
}
And this:
! LuaTeX error main ctx instance:1: bad argument #1 to 'getn' (table
expected, got nil)
stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'getn'
main ctx instance:1: in main chunk.
system tex error on line 6 in file
products/topologia_geral.tex: LuaTeX error ...
[...]
\cldcontext ...\directlua \zerocount {context(#1)}
l.6 }
Sorry about that mistake.
No need to apologize! :-)
It seems that resolvers.inputstack is not defined in my system. Where
is it defined in yours? file-res.lua?
Thank you very very much, :-)
André Caldas.

Re: [NTG-context] Current source directory.
Thank you for yor time, Peter. But this is not what I wanted... :-(
Is there a way to know the directory of the currently being processed
source file?
This works with mkiv:
\starttext
PWD: \cldcontext{io.popenpwd:read()}
\stoptext
This gives the directory where the context command was called from.
I want the directory where the tex file being processed lives in.
For example, I have a component
products/product/article.tex
Inside a product
products/product.tex
I produce it by calling
context products/product.tex
I want to know a function that returns
/fullpath_to_project/products/
when I call it from the script products/product.tex. And I want it to return
/fullpath_to_project/products/product/
when I call it from the script products/product/article.tex.
Cheers,
André Caldas.

Re: [NTG-context] Search path.
When I write a project, product, component or environment file, why would I want the references I made to be dependent on the directory where the script was called? Shouldn't things be like the #include relative_path.h used in the C language, for example? That is, shouldn't those paths be relative to the script that refers to them? [...] The way tex (and its path) are set up is that files are looked up on the current path (.) or relative to it, or in the (tds compliant) tex tree. Auxiliary files are created in the current directory. I thought the reason was TeX itself. I just had some hope that ConTeXt would fix this behavior some how. Since ConTeXt allows one to have products and contents relatively independent from the project itself, I thought that it would make sense to have the references to files independent from the project structure as well. Maybe I can just live with TEXINPUTS and BIBINPUTS... :-) I guess the magic could be at some extent done with \usepath. Leaving the probably already extensively discussed \usepath precedence order for another discussion... One can hardcode a path in the tex source if needed. Another option is to move to the source path (something texmfstart --path ... texexec ... or mtxrun --path ... --script context ...) but what's best depends on the kind of project. I definitely prefer not to hard code paths in the source. Actually, I would like the components to not have to worry at all about where they live... I will study texmfstart. :-) Do you really need to use context mkii? As it's a new project, using context mkiv might be a better idea. No, I don't. I want to use always the preferred solution. I want to follow your guidelines and be enlightened... :-) How did you know I was using one and not the other? I didn't know it myself!!! Thank you very much for your help and for this great piece of software, Hans.

[NTG-context] Period at the end of a alignment block.
I have a macro to typeset function definitions:
\define[5]\functionarray
{
\startalign[n=4, align={left,right,center,left}]
\NC #1: \NC #2 \NC \to \NC #3 \NR
\NC \NC #4 \NC \mapsto \NC #5
\stopalign
}
I use it like this: (notice the period at the end)
\startformula
\functionarray{f}{X}{Y}{x}{f(x)}.
\stopformula
I get the following error:
Display math should end with \Ustopdisplaymath ...
If I remove the ., the error does not happen.
How should I implement my functionarray?
Thanks,
André Caldas.

[NTG-context] Search path.
Hello, list! I am really new to ConTeXt. I am writing a book http://topologia-geral.ourproject.org/ It is written in LaTeX and I intend to migrate it to ConTeXt. I want to migrate and I want to be as far from HACKS as I can. So I want to know the recommended way to do things. One of my first difficulties comes from the search path used by texexec. It seems to me that the path searched for components, products and environments depends on the path were the script was called from. That is, it depends on the current working directory. My question (honestly) is: - Why would I want this behavior? When I write a project, product, component or environment file, why would I want the references I made to be dependent on the directory where the script was called? Shouldn't things be like the #include relative_path.h used in the C language, for example? That is, shouldn't those paths be relative to the script that refers to them? Am I missing something?
