You can link musl statically which makes these binaries run basically
everywhere, so it's actually a win for everybody.
The only downsides of musl against libc that I am aware of are some
restrictions in DNS lookups (it doesn't use NSS) and that it may not
link easily against C++ ... but that should be a one-time-fix at source
code level and full fledged DNS support shouldn't matter for TeX
anyway.

Anyway: IMHO it's worth it and I'm also all for it since I prefer
Alpine as well :D
(I compile my projects using Alpine as well and statically link it
against musl to have binaries that run on all possible linux
distributions independant of their underlying libc.)

[NTG-context] Footnote in TABLE isn't rendered anywhere

[Andreas Schneider]

Hello,

in the current ConTeXt Minimals (ver: 2017.06.30 19:45 MKIV beta  fmt: 
2017.7.3) the following example doesn't show any footnotes:



\starttext
\bTABLE[split=repeat,align=normal]
  \bTR\bTD Something\footnote[x]{bla bla}\eTD\eTR
  \bTR\bTD Foo\note[x] \eTD\eTR
\eTABLE
\stoptext


That second note reference (\note[x]) even causes a warning:


references  > unknown reference '[][x]'


(Local footnotes work in this case, but I prefer global ones.)

[NTG-context] labeltext via lua

[Andreas Schneider]

Hello,

if I define a labeltext via \setuplabeltext[en][test=Something], how can 
I access that value via lua?
(context.labeltext obviously prints the content, but doesn't allow me to 
use it in lua).


As a related side-request: how can I fix expansion in cases like this: 
\startsectionlevel[title=\labeltext{test}] ... this causes the bookmark 
to read "test" instead of "Something". \expandafter\startsectionlevel... 
didn't cut it.

You can use the LUA interface "job.passes".
In the first pass, you store your value. For example:
local passdata = job.passes.define("mystuff") --I usually define this at 
the top of my script and reuse it.

passdata["somevalue"] = "hello world";

Then in the subsequent runs you can access
local lastpassdata = job.passes.getcollected("mystuff") --Same here...
print(lastpassdata["somevalue"])

Re: [NTG-context] Are nested sections possible?

[Andreas Schneider]

You probably want automatic levels.
Take a look at strc-lev.mkvi.

\startsectionlevel[title=outer]
\startsectionlevel[title=inner]
\startsectionlevel[title=yet another]

\stopsectionlevel
\stopsectionlevel
\stopsectionlevel

If you need more levels than the default (which ranges from chapter to 
subsubsubsubsection), you may need to define your own using 
\definesectionlevels.

Re: [NTG-context] Apply a start/stop command pair to certain subsections

[Andreas Schneider]

You could take a look at my fork of Pablo's pandoc-xhtml:
https://github.com/aksdb/pandoc-xhtml

The basic idea is to use another step in between the generation: Pandoc 
-> XML -> PDF (since ConTeXt can read XML natively, given the 
appropriate environment file).


As you can see in the example Makefile, you should use pandoc with 
--section-divs which will (in my fork of pandoc-xhtml, not in the 
original) cause the use of \startchapter...\stopchapter, 
\startsection...\stopsection etc.


Therefore you can then also use \setuphead[chapter][insidesection=..., 
aftersection=...] and similar setups.

Andreas

Hello,

I'm a new Context user, and I have a question about conditional
formatting of paragraphs.

I'm typsetting a CV. I am using pandoc to generate the .tex file from
Markdown before compiling the pdf with context. Because pandoc inserts
the body of the document from one variable ($body), I would like to
avoid using e.g. \startmycommand and then \stopmycommand to modify
individual subsections.

What I can do from Markdown is tag the headings, so that (for example)
the "Publications" subsection starts as
"\subsection[pubs]{Publications}". I would like to know if there is a
way to automatically apply a start/stop command pair to the "pubs"
subsection(s), or if it better to do this with an external script that
modifies the .tex file before I call context.

Below is an example where I can get the output I'm looking for
(paragraphs in the "pubs" subsection have a hanging indent) by
defining a start/stop command pair and manually applying it to the
"pubs" subsection.

If anyone has any tips to apply this automatically to the "pubs"
subsection(s) but not the "text" subsections, I'd appreciate it! I
have searched the wiki, read through the "Context: an excursion"
document and looked around in the mail archive and stackexchange, but
I didn't find exactly what I want.

Many thanks for reading,

Tom Harrop

\setupindenting[-\leftskip,yes,first]%
\setuphead[subsection][indentnext=yes]%

  after=\stopnarrower,
]

\starttext

\subsection[text]{Normal text}

I would like the text in this subsection to appear without indents.

In the following subsection I need hanging indents.

Re: [NTG-context] PDF Signature Fields

[Andreas Schneider]

Hello Hans,

after comparing eforms and the result of a document edited by Acrobat, 
the relevant portions in the spec (PDF 32000-1:2008) are:

Section 12.7.4.5, with tables 232 and 233.

From what I see it should be possible to add a field /FT /Sig with and 
without a /Lock dictionary.
The /Lock dictionary created by Acrobat also specifies the optional 
/Type /SigFieldLock (eforms doesn't, but when in doubt, I trust Adobe 
more than eforms ;-))


Here is an example from the PDF stream of a document manually forged 
with Acrobat:

%% Object stream: object 167, index 37; original object ID: 475
<<
  /AP <<
/N 188 0 R
  >>
  /DA (/Helv 0 Tf 0 g)
  /F 4
  /FT /Sig
  /Lock 187 0 R
  /MK <<
  >>
  /P 196 0 R
  /Rect [
253.965
163.306
525.056
186.143
  ]
  /Subtype /Widget
  /T (Gehnehmiger Unterschrift)
  /Type /Annot



%% Object stream: object 187, index 57; original object ID: 495
<<
  /Action /Exclude
  /Fields [
(Einrichter Name)
(Einrichters Unterschrift)
  ]
  /Type /SigFieldLock




("Einrichter Name" is another Text Field --> /FT /Tx [...] /Subtype 
/Widget [...] /T (Einrichter Name)

 "Einrichters Unterschrift" is another Signature Field)

Re: [NTG-context] PDF Signature Fields

[Andreas Schneider]

Very good point(s).

Just for more reference:
We use such forms heavily in-house, sometimes with a multi-stage 
approach.
Example: the employee fills out his details, etc., and signs that part. 
The fields he had to fill are now locked (but saved, ofcourse ;-)). That 
PDF is now sent to his or her boss, who fills out the organisational 
details, and signs that part. Finally the PDF goes to HR or whoever who 
gives the final signature. Since all employees have signature cards 
(chips with PKCS signatures on them) the whole process get's safe, 
accountable and paper-free. In the past stuff like this required 
printing, hand-signing, scanning, sending, printing-again, ... you get 
the idea.

These forms are currently handcrafted using Acrobat.

I will analyse the resulting PDF streams, try to match that against the 
PDF spec and what the eforms-package does.

If that lines up, I'll provide the necessary details here.

Thank you Hans and Alan! :-)

One has to be EXTREMELY careful with these "features".

Currently, there are so-called PDF forms, but they are far from fully
functional. I suspect that the specifications are not clear and are not
respected in any case.

I will give a concrete example: The American Tax agency, IRS, provides
a large number of PDF forms that can be filled out, for they LOVE 
forms.
One can use Acrobat (Reader or Pro) and one can even fill them out 
using

evince. Yeah! However, whereas the forms filled-out using evince can be
saved and re-edited, printed, etc., opening these filled-out forms in
Acrobat come out blank. (Luckily I was able to provide my accountant
with *printed*, filled-in copies, both paper and PDF.)

Other examples are forms that can ONLY be read using the latest and
greatest Acrobat. The situation is problematic, and I know of at least
one government agency that has finally turned towards a web-based
reporting method as they had received multiple complaints and even
legal challenges on their Adobe/PDF only reporting method used
previously.

This can explain Hans' reticence towards reverse engineering in absence
of clear, published specifications that are indeed respected.

FWIW, I cannot even find the module pgfplots. Apparently it is no longer 
in the modules repository (for the minimals).
I assume it is no longer maintained. Therefore the version you use is 
most likely not matching up to the ConTeXt version you use and is only a 
relict from a time past, when the module was still available.

[NTG-context] Sanitize in XML/XHTML documents

[Andreas Schneider]

Hi,

I hope I don't just overlook some plain obvious solution, but a longer search 
in the Wiki and the mailing list (and the context source) didn't come up with 
anything too useful 

Anyway: is there any mechanism that I can use to "fix" quotations while 
typesetting XML documents?
Pandoc produces some text. In TeX I would usually use 
\quotation{some text} to have proper, language dependent quotes.

I tried to intercept  using \xmltexentity{quot}{...} but apparently the 
internal replacement takes precedence here. Otherwise I would have tried to 
build some small state machine which remembers if it is currently inside a 
quotation of not.

My next try would be to somehow intercept the XML stream (or flush) using lua 
and replace " ... " inline. However that all seems quite hacky.

So, does ConTeXt currently offer anything I can piggyback to get quotations set 
properly? :-)

Best regards,
Andreas

Yes, that did the trick. I completely overlooked that option.

To me that looks like a pandoc bug: how is a backend supposed to deal
with left/right quotation marks?

My next try would be to somehow intercept the XML stream (or flush) 
using lua and replace " ... " inline. However that all seems quite 
hacky.


even then you can have issues: what if you have nested and/or
unbalanced quotes ...


Pandoc allows to replace quotes with "smart punctuation". That would 
cause "..." to be replaced by “...”. That way I can at least safely 
determine start and end, thereby replacing “ with \quotation\bgroup and 
” with \egroup. I'm aware that there might still be cases where this 
goes wrong, but it should be much more rare then :-)


So I guess my lua based search and replace (combined with said "smart 
punctuation") could be my best bet at the moment. If any other ideas pop 
up, I'm happy to hear them, though :-)


Thanks for your quick response!

Re: [NTG-context] vim module: modify line wrapping

[Andreas Schneider]

Am 14.05.2015 17:26, schrieb Aditya Mahajan:


I just released a newer version to t-vim where the `option=hypenated`
is documented. It is also possible to hyphenate words by using

\definevimtyping[...][..., option={packed,hyphenated},

Aditya


Thank you for that solution. It doesn't work quite that way, though:

1. Only [...,option=hyphenated,...] breaks many, but not all lines. 
\setupalign[verytolerant,stretch] helps here.
2. [...,option={packed,hyphenated},align=hyphenated,...] doesn't work at 
all
3. Omitting packed, ie. [...,option=hyphenated,align=hyphenated,...] 
works as expected. Even single words are broken then.


I will currently stick with option 1, since option 3 has a negative side 
effect: it inserts hyphen marks (-), which looks weird in source code.


All in all I have two wishes regarding wordwrap and hyphenation, and 
hope they aren't too hard to grant :-)


1. Add an option to omit the hyphenation mark/sign (whatever it is 
actually called).
2. Add an option to indent the wrapped line to the line it was wrapped 
from.


Remark for wish #2:
Currently breaking lines look like:
|  This is an indented and |
|broken line.  |

It would be nicer to have:
|  This is an indented and |
|  broken line.|

Thanks for adjusting the documentation of the vim module and giving me 
all these options. I now have a ConTeXt produced document I can proudly 
release to the customer :-)

[NTG-context] XML Processing with Verbatim (VIM-Typing)

[Andreas Schneider]

Hello,

as a few other topics on this Mailing List already discussed, it's not 
(easily?) possible to use \starttyping\stoptyping within XML setups. If 
it was simple verbatim, there would be a few workarounds.
However, I want to provide formatted verbatim (i.e. \startJSON 
\stopJSON, after having \definevimtyping[JSON][syntax=javascript]). That 
typing environment will be further customized (by adding text background 
with border, etc.).


I don't see a simple way to work around this without manually 
typesetting the code highlighting (which I don't want. I simply want 
json{someCode}/json inside the XML file).


Is there anything I can do to make this work? Maybe with preparing a 
buffer? (with Lua?)


Thanks in advance, for any help you can provide :-)

-- Minimal Example:
\usemodule[vim]
\definevimtyping[JSON][syntax=javascript]

\starttext

\startluacode
  function xml.functions.processJSON(t)
lxml.verbatim(t, \\startJSON, \\stopJSON)
  end
\stopluacode

\startbuffer[demo]
test

json{somecode}/json
  /description

[NTG-context] xtables in setups

[Andreas Schneider]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA256

Hi,

I'm currently setting up a xml - pdf template for some  technical
documentation and wanted to use xtables.
However they don't seem to work when within a setup/xmlsetup.

Small example (without XML, for the sake of simplicity):

~~
\starttext

\startsetups test
\startxtable
  \startxrow
\startxcell Foo \stopxcell
\startxcell Bar \stopxcell
  \stopxrow
\stopxtable
\stopsetups

\setups[test]

\stoptext
~~

Causes:
*
tex errorerror on line 0 in file : ! Emergency stop

Is there anything I'm doing wrong here or did I stumble upon a bug?

(If there is no easy fix here, I'm probably going to use LUA to parse
the XML and write the TeX part from there which means I could circumvent
the need for setups.)

Best regards,
Andreas

[NTG-context] Defining and using font weights

[Andreas Schneider]

Hello,

I'm not able to figure out how I can make use of a font with custom 
font weights.
I have a font that comes with regular, bold, half-bold and ultra 
bold.


I currently define the font like this:
\definefontfamily[myfont][rm][myfont][sc=file:MyFontRegular,bf=file:MyFontBold]

Which at least makes it possible to use the default font and \bf ...
But simply adding something like hb=... or ult=... doesn't seem to cut 
it.


So how would I define this font to be able to also use the half-bold and 
ultra weights? (preferably with a switch like \bf, \it, etc.)


Best regards,
Andreas

Re: [NTG-context] reading modules broken?

so in your case it should be something

u-hvdm-test

or so (user hvdm test)

so you were just lucky that in the past modules-* worked

the loading is probably ok because test.* is loaded


That new behavior breaks SimpleSlides however, because now the styles 
aren't loaded anymore.

In the log I find (for example):
resolversmodules  'simpleslides-s-BottomSquares' is already loaded

So either this old behavior had it's upsides or SimpleSlides needs to be 
fixed :-)

 Sorry, but I don’t know why the footnote is removed in the table of

 Am I missing something?

 Many thanks for your help,

That probably has to do with expansion (a detailed explanation may be
given by a (Con)TeX(t) Guru :-)).

I think the best fix is to use the MkIV title mechanism (start... stop...)
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Titles#New_MkIV_Sectioning

That way you can do:
\startchapter[title={Footnote\footnote{Only where appropriate}},
bookmark={No Footnote}]
...
\stopchapter

What you are looking for is called "Page Labels".
http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/PDF17 

I asked about this some time ago too and the conclusion was to manually manipulate the pdfcatalog:
http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2010/050146.html 

In the meantime it seems to have been implemented to a huge degree (see lpdf-mis.lua) but as the comments in there state, the prefixes you want are currently NOT part of the implementation.
If you are not particularly keen on enhancing that code, you are best off manually manipulating the pdfcatalog.

Regarding your earlier mail (\definesectionlevels ...):
Wow, there is really a lot of "hidden" functionality in ConTeXt. If you lay out the document with these commands from the beginning, that really eases restructuring tasks. However the readability (of the source code) slightly falls off. I will evaluate this further. Thanks for this too :-)

[NTG-context] Dynamic headings query heading information

[Andreas Schneider]

Title: Dynamic headings  query heading information


Hello,

again I'm working on a technical manual and decided to use ConTeXt to do the job. Since I'm a developer, I always try to do things as flexible as possible.

I'm currently struggling to achieve two things:

1) a macro (that will print a list) should also add a heading. However, the heading should always be one level beneath the current heading and without numbering. Example: within a \section it should be a \subsubject, within a \chapter it should be a \subject, and so on.

2) another macro should build an index at the end of the document. I use Lua to keep a list of all database tables referenced within the document (together with some metadata) and save it in the jobpasses struct. Now I also want to track the chapters, sections, etc where these references are, to be able to see, where a database table is used.

To solve these two problems, I'm looking for information about the current heading. The level and the associated reference name.
If I have the level, I can keep my own list of necessary heading types (subject, subsubject, ...) and just get the one at level+1 to write the heading using lua (tex.sprint()).
With the reference name I can obviously solve 2), since I then can simply keep a list for each db table in the jobpasses structure.

I'm open for different suggestions, since I may miss an (obvious?) alternative. And as you can also probably see, I like Lua pretty much, so a solution requiring Lua is not a problem :-) (quite the contrary actually)

Andreas

ConTeXt uses “::” as separator for references to external files.

 Yes.

 We need to make sure that someone with an older glibc builds the
 binaries. Is this about the 32-bit or 64-bit linux?

 Mojca

32bit.

As  per  Luigi's  hint/question  I  built  Luatex from SVN (apparently
./build.sh  was  all  there was to it :-)) and used that binary. As it
seems, that already did the trick. I haven't done extensive tests yet,
but that will follow.

If you tell me what the needed steps are to get you the binaries build
in  a  way that could be distributed, I would be willing to do that as
long as my/our CentOS 5 installation is still up and running :-)

(Depending on how often that needs to be done, since it's a machine on
my workplace, so I can't access it anytime I like ...)

I tried def, edef, gdef, define, explicit expand, expandoneafter, etc.

 You can’t use \date (or any other unexpandable command) in an expandable 
 context.

Hmm  I  see, so \date is simply not possible for that case. Ok, thanks

 not that strange but it's obscured by the fact that you use a float 
 (which has different spacing and room-for rules) without caption

 in this case you can omit the placefloat and do

 \startxtable[header=repeat,split=yes]

 Hans

Doesn't  quite  work,  since  then  the header isn't repeated when the
table is actually split.

With  natural  tables there seems to be a similar problem. But I guess
that  enabling  split=yes  will  actually  place  it  inside  a  float
automatically which leads back to the initial problem.

Re: [NTG-context] Non-Printing PDFs with ConTeXt

On Friday, May 4, 2012, at 12:37 Malte Stien wrote:
 Hi all,

 Is there a way I can get ConTeXt to produce PDFs that are
 not-printable? Just as a background to my question: This is not
 about copyright. Rather, I am using ConTeXt to produce quality
 process documents. The quality management system requires that all
 quality process documents be controlled, that is one must prevent
 folks from printing copies of their own that then keep floating
 around the place and cannot be retracted when a new version of the
 quality process document is issued.

 Hence, I am aiming for a paper-less scenario where everyone reads
 the documents on screen. Therefore, I would like to make printing
 impossible, or at least hard. The only one who should be able to
 print the document is the Document Manager; maybe the documents
 could be encrypted (PDF supports that, I believe), such that the
 Document Manager can print them knowing the password.

 So far, I have only seen Word and Acrobat Distiller being able to
 do this. Is there a way I can setup ConTeXt to do this? Or are there
 some command line tools, that can do that after the PDF has been produced?

 Any hints would be great.
 Thank you,
 Malte.

You can accomplish PDF encryption with pdftk (for example):
http://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-the-pdf-toolkit/

You  use that to restrict certain features (in your case printing) and
protect  that restriction with a password. The PDF itself can still be
read without password.

Of  course  the  PDF viewer has to honor that restriction. If the user
finds  a PDF viewer that doesn't give a  about these restrictions,
they  can  still  print it. But I think that doesn't really matter for
your scenario anyway. :-)

[NTG-context] TABLE with split=repeat and headings

[Andreas Schneider]

Hello,

I  have several natural tables with the split=repeat option set. Those
tables  are  directly  after  a  subsubsubject.  Every now and then it
happens,  that  the  heading stays on the previous page (as last line)
and the table slips to the next page.

Without  split=repeat  it  correctly takes the header to the next page
too. Can I consider this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

The attached example demonstrates this problem.

Testet with
ConTeXt  ver: 2012.01.02 21:59 MKIV  fmt: 2012.1.24  int: english/english

[NTG-context] PDF Digital Signatures

[Andreas Schneider]

Hello,

since  ConTeXt  supports  form  fields  in  PDFs, I wonder whether the
fields  for  digital  signatures are available as well. If not, please
consider this a feature request/wish :-)

I  received an internal document some time ago that represented a form
and  was  separated into three parts. Part one was to be filled out by
the employee (in this case: me). Under this part was a signature field
I   could   click  which  made  Adobe  Reader  prompt  for  a  digital
certificate. After I selected that, information about this certificate
appeared  inside that form field I just clicked. The other form fields
were  automatically  locked  afterwards. If I wanted to change them, I
would have to remove my signature.

Parts  two  and  three  were  similar,  but meant for management. They
needed to sign my request which in turn locked their edit fields.

So  in other words: I would like to create such forms with ConTeXt :-)
I  hate  these  work flows where people are told to print out form x,
sign  it  and send the scanned copy via email instead of just signing
it digitally.

It  would also come in handy for technical and business documents that
need  to be signed by the customer (for example an Interface Document,
System Design, Use Case, whatever).

I  hope  that  is  not completely out of scope for ConTeXt and not too
hard  to  implement.  Otherwise I guess I won't see that feature for a
long time.

Thanks anyway; at least for reading this :-)

Andreas

 I'm not sure about it, but I'm tempted to believe that digitally
 signing PDFs might be one of forbidden functionality that requires
 you to buy a licence for Acrobat. Martin Schröder usually posts this
 link:
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_LiveCycle_Reader_Extensions

 I have found this article, but I'm not sure if it is really legal:

 http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/14488/E-signing-PDF-documents-with-iTextSharp

 Maybe we need a FAQ entry about PDF features somewhere on wiki (or at
 any other place).

 Mojca

That's  too  bad,  although I can see Adobe's reasoning. I thought/was
hoping  that  it  was  a  simply  not-yet-implemented  feature and not
something  Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader specific. Well, it was worth
a shot.

Anyway for signing PDFs myself I still use and prefer JSignPDF:
http://jsignpdf.sourceforge.net/

That  is really neat and supports a lot of very helpful features (like
visible  signatures).  It's  just that it isn't a solution for general
forms  that  others should sign, since not all of them are technically
versed or willing to install some third party program. That would have
been a good use case for ready-made PDF forms with signature fields.

Thanks for your answer!

[NTG-context] xtables: stretch a single column

[Andreas Schneider]

Hi,

xtables  offers  option=stretch  to stretch the whole table evenly. Is
there  also  a way (without manually calculating the width) to stretch
the whole table using a given column?

Short use case:
I  have  a  table with three columns. Column 1 has an external figure,
column  3 a variable length (but still short) text/string and column 2
has  either  no  text at all or maybe a longer phrase. Columns 1 and 3
should  be auto-sized (i.e as small as possible) while column 2 should
be  as  width as necessary, to make the whole table fit perfectly onto
the page (width-wise; height doesn't matter for now).

I  think  with natural tables it was possible to set width=broad for a
certain column. Is something like that possible with xtables as well?

Thanks!

As you can see from this two entries the fonts internal names are a mess,
both should be “family: telegrotesk” for a proper names font but this isn’t
the case here and the reason why automatic detection fails.


AFAIK the font was designed by URW who I would expect to do better than 
that ... but well, it's an old font and maybe it was done in a hurry :D

ConTeXt can fake the slanted and bold style but they are not the same as a real

AFAICS there is no italic style. Only regular, bold and semi-bold. What

That is certainly possible, but the exact solution depends on how robust
you want it to be. I can easily add an option so that

\definevimtyping
[]
[extras={let g:is_bash=1}]

will pass the argument to vim. However, string arguments like

\definevimtyping
[]
[extras={let g:name=Whatever}]

will not work. The reason is that, t-vim first creates a command line
argument that is passed to mtxrun. mtxrun parses the entire expression,
including all the options, When mtxrun figures out that all the
arguments were meant for an external program, it recreates the list of
arguments (to the best of its abilities), and passes the arguments to
the shell. Then the shell tries to interpret the quotes. I haven't been
able to find a solution that will work correctly though these three
transformations.

Another option is to write everything to an external file and source it
as a vimrc file. So, you could do:

\definevimtyping
[...]
[vimrc=shell]

\startvimrc[shell]
let g:is_bash = 1
\stopvimrc

This requires more coding, but is much more flexible than the first option.

Do all syntax highlighting options work with 0/1 parameters? If so, then
the first alternative is easiest.


As far as I can see, most of the relevant options (if not all) are 0/1 
switches, so the first alternative should be enough. Thanks to the pipe 
syntax of vim's command mode, it might be even possible specify more 
parameters that way. [extras={let g:foo=bar | let g:shaz=bot}] -- at 
least vim accepts that usually, I guess it doesn't make a difference if 
specified as commandline parameter.


However I also like the idea of the optional vimrc via buffer. I think 
it might be a nice-to-have feature for the ToDo list :-)


Thank you for the analysis and for coming up with these possible 
implementations!

lot of functionality of the filter module. Hopefully, now everything is
working correctly.


Everything I tested works fine now, so I guess you are on the right 
track (if not even on the destination :D)


Again, Many thanks :-)

Thanks! The vimout file is now created and seems to be correct. There 
are still some problems, though:


Currently, pscolor doesn't seem to work as color scheme which renders a 
default vimtyping environment (like my initial example) unhighlighted. 
Using blackandwhite works.


Here I noticed a second problem. A change to the to-be-highlighted 
buffer as well as some options (like said alternative) isn't processed 
at all. I have to manually delete the vimout, tmp and md5 files first 
before I actually see the change.


Also it seems, that tabs are killed. If I manually replace them with 
spaces, it works. Empty lines also seem to be removed, however that 
appears to be a feature - not sure.

Fixed. Again, was due to the change in the namespace handler. For a
working version, you will need to download all the t-*.tex files from
the dev branch at github.


Works fine now.

buffer as well as some options (like said alternative) isn't

The change in alternative is handled at the tex level, so there is no
need to rerun vim


I thought so and indeed it works now ... it was probably coincidence 
that it didn't work before.



I have to manually delete the vimout, tmp and md5 files first before I
actually see the change.


You can also use --mode=force to force a rerun.


Shouldn't it detect changes to the buffer through the md5 sum? What I 
meant was: I modify the buffer (add a line, or change lines) but that 
change doesn't cause vim to be run again. From what I can see, the tmp 
file isn't written at all, if it already exists, therefore the md5 sum 
doesn't change, therefore vim isn't run again. Shouldn't the tmp file 
always be (re)written, to reflect the content of the current buffer?



Also it seems, that tabs are killed. If I manually replace them with
spaces, it works.


Tabs are converted to spaces at TeX level: tab=4 gives four spaces,
tab=8 gives eight spaces. However, there was a bug due to which the
spaces at the beginning of the line were eaten. Fixed now.


Indeed, works as expected now.


Empty lines also seem to be removed, however that appears to be a
feature - not sure.


No, it was a bug. Also fixed.


Even better (kinda ;-)).

[NTG-context] filter and/or vim module in current beta

[Andreas Schneider]

Hi,

it seems the filter module doesn't currently work (in MkIV at least). It 
may be a problem with the vim module though, I'm not quite sure.


The following example doesn't produce any output:

-8---
\usemodule[vim]

\definevimtyping[PASCAL][syntax=pascal]

\starttext

\startPASCAL
program test;
begin
writeln('Hello World!');
end.
\stopPASCAL

\stoptext
-8---

The output of context has only one line regarding t-filter:
t-filter command :

I guess it's just normal then that there's no output ... if nothing is 
run.


Any ideas whats going wrong here?

Btw.:

Re: [NTG-context] Edit a ConTeXt generated document with Adobe Acrobat Professional

[Andreas Schneider]

At Friday, 15.07.2011 on 10:17 Cecil Westerhof wrote:
 Properly that anybody that knows how to write a document in Microsoft Office
 can change the document. So standard software, with a low learning curve. I
 had some problems getting them to accept to use Adobe. And now that turns
 out to be not a real option. Learning all the time as Benny Hill said.

That's absolutely not true. MS Office Word has a pretty steep learning curve, 
people just neglect that and take it for a slightly more complex notepad. It's 
not, as can be seen be the loads of completely unprofessional done documents 
... not consistent styles, no auto generated index, no cross references, no 
proper bibliography (where it applies), etc. (Hell, I even saw documents where 
footnotes where done [superscript] and numbered manually.)
That's exactly the problem with Word, Writer, etc., that people think it's an 
easy to use tool, just because it's WYSIWYG. If you don't know what you are 
doing, you WILL do it wrong, even (or especially) with such an easy tool as 
Word or Writer.

In contrast a tool like ConTeXt forces you to learn and therefore makes it a 
lot harder to f*ck up a document. I also did our technical documentation in 
ConTeXt, after porting it over from Word. My colleagues didn't know *TeX and 
still manage to change and enhance the document as needed. I provided the 
necessary platform (project structure, lua scripts etc.) so the document itself 
is only a frontend using easy-to-comprehend commands. I also built an installer 
that installs a specific ConTeXt Minimals version, the necessary modules, and a 
preconfigured TeXworks, so they don't even have to setup that or play around 
with proxy settings for firstsetup.bat.

Also with TeXworks it's already pretty WYSIWYG, imho. Change the code, hit 
run, and see the result :)

 No the problem is not the layout. They are satisfied with that. They just do
 not want to be dependent on our company.

They don't have to. Give them ConTeXt, give them TeXworks, give them the source 
to the documents. Then they can do whatever they want.

 That is what I mend that in hindsight I should not have used ConTeXt. ;-}

Maybe, but if the customer/client didn't specify in advance, that they want it 
done in Word, how could you know? If you used Indesign or something else they 
would be f*cked too - because these tools are simply not meant to be used 
without learning first. (Although, as said earlier, Word and similar tools 
aren't meant to be used without learning too ... many people just think it is.)

Andreas.

 Maybe Hans knows?

 Steffen

After  a  lot of work with ConTeXt the past few weeks, I had some more
thoughts  on  possible  causes  for  this problem. I finally found the
culprits:

\expandoneargafter doesn't seem to be around anymore ... it works fine
without, though.

\doifnotempty  doesn't quite seem to work (the way I intend it to), so
I replaced them with \doifnot{...}{}{...}

I  attached  the  current module (yes, it's not really a module, but
it's  slightly  more convenient to use that way ... the whole thing is
nothing more than a workaround anyway).

I  hope  I  haven't  killed  any functionality while toying around and
hunting the bug, but at least my Diploma Thesis looks still right when
processed with that module.

Since  I currently don't use that module actively, I will probably not
enhance  or  otherwise  improve  it.  So  if  anyone  else  feels like
providing a better solution for the Ibidem-problem: please do!

[NTG-context] Modules inside project structure

[Andreas Schneider]

Hello,

I'm  currently trying to split our ConTeXt project into smaller parts,
utilizing  the ConTeXt project structure. I thought it might be a good
idea  to  also extract reusable parts into private modules. Now I face
the problem, that I can't find an optimal spot to place these modules.
Currently  I  just  have  them at the root of the project where I also
have  the  environment  file  that  is  used.  That kinda works, since
\usemodule  uses  resolvers.findctxfile  which  also  traverses parent
directories.   Unfortunately   \registerctxluafile   doesn't,  so  the
corresponding lua file isn't loaded (which I currently circumvent with
dofile()).

I  guess it might be cleaner to make use of texmf-project or something
similar,  however  that  would require the user (who is working with
that project) to modify their TeX tree and rebuild their formats. It's
also  a  bit  strange,  since  these modules are exclusive to that one
project  -  a new project would at least require copies of these files
anyway.  So  these modules should preferably lie somewhere beneath the
actual project, and not globally on the system of the user.

What  would  you  suggest  to  handle  such  projects  that  should be
separated  and  independent  from  the  ConTeXt  installation  of  the
users? Would you use modules at all in that case?

[NTG-context] Validate (cross)references

[Andreas Schneider]

Hello,

if  I  use  \in,  \about,  \at  or  anything  else  that  generates  a
cross-reference,  and  that  reference  happens to be invalid (typo or
whatever),  it  just  prints  out  nothing.  Is  there a way to have
context throw an error if a reference is invalid? (That probably would
only  make  sense  in the second pass of context, since the first pass
has to collect the references first.)

If context can't do it by itself, I'll probably just grep for unknown
reference  and  use  that,  but  if context could do it by itself, it
would be nice for automated builds (I actually have my current ConTeXt
project in a Continous Integration system, so anything that leads to a
wrong result should throw an error there.)

 Unknown references are shown as “??” in your text.

True,  I  was  mostly  thinking  about \about, which just prints two
quotation  marks  and  nothing  in between. But my problem (if I can
even  call  it  that, since grep is already a solution, just maybe not
the  best one :D) is, that I could easily miss such small changes. I'm
working  on  technical  documentation  that  even  has  parts that are
automatically  generated  (from  XML files). I just update whatever is
necessary  (the document itself, or just the input files), commit them
to  SVN  and  our  CI  server grabs them, and runs ConTeXt. If ConTeXt
returns  with  a  return code  0, the build is marked as failed and
all  necessary  admins  (me  and  my colleague) are informed via eMail
and/or  RSS  feed.  If  the  build  succeeds,  the  generated  PDF  is
automatically distributed to the users. I consider wrong references an
error,  so  I would like the build to fail (imho referencing something
that  doesn't  exist  is  like using a macro that doesn't exist, which
fails too).

But  as I said: if context can't treat that as error, I'm fine with it
too  and  will  continue  to  grep the logfile. It's just curiosity if
there may already be a setting/parameter/whatever to get context to be
more restrictive.

[NTG-context] \type and linebreak (again)

[Andreas Schneider]

Hi,

I  stumbled  across  the  same problem that was discussed earlier this
month:  \type  doesn't break, even if there are opportunities. I tried
to follow the suggestions given in that thread, but with no success:

\setuppapersize[A4][A4]

\starttext
\setuptype[space=stretch]
%\setupalign[stretch]
%\setuptolerance[stretch]
\type{cp $SOMEVAR/some/very/very/very/long/directory/WITHFILE 
$SOMEVAR/other/long/directory}
\startitemize
\item \type{cp 
$SOMEVAR/some/very/very/very/long/directory/WITHFILE 
$SOMEVAR/other/long/directory}
\stopitemize
\stoptext


I  tried  with  and  without the \setupalign/\setuptolerance commands,
without  success;  both lines exceed the margins. (Tested with ConTeXt
ver: 2011.05.18 22:26 MKIV fmt: 2011.5.23)

Is  there anything else I can do/setup to get such long verbatim lines
broken?  I  would  also like an option for character-based line wraps;
i.e.  it  should (optionally; not in this particular case for example)
break  a word even in the middle if necessary, and without hyphenation
mark.  Especially  in  similar  cases  where  I  have a very very long
directory name, I wouldn't care if it gets broken the hard way.

Thanks in advance!

[NTG-context] Error in minimals beta

[Andreas Schneider]

Hi,

I sent this mail before, but it seems to have been lost on it's way to the 
mailing list ... (I hope so, otherwise this might be a double post).

When I compile my current project, luatex fails with the following error:


! LuaTeX error main ctx instance:1: attempt to index global 'structure'
(a nil value)
stack traceback:
main ctx instance:1: in main chunk.

system   error on line 47 in file Diplomarbeit.tex: LuaTeX error

Seems like it's not directly related to my file (which worked fine in an
older version).
In case it matters: I'm on Linux x86 currently.

Hoping for a fix,
Andreas.

[NTG-context] Bib Module: \cite can kill spaces

Hi,

I don't know how exactly it happens, but in the attached example the last
footnote is missing a space before the inserted \cite. In my real document

[NTG-context] Issues with MetaPost boxes

[Andreas Schneider]

Since some weeks I have strange problems with MetaPost in MKIV (beta). The
attached example should (and did in the past) output a central box (Fakt)
surrounded by five boxes named Dimension. However some of them (in that
particular example one) is drawn wrong: the box is on the right spot, but
the label seems to be at 0,0. It seems to happen whenever the boxes are
drawn from within a loop - at least all of my problems with boxes show
similar symptoms and only occur within loops.

Any ideas what goes wrong here?\startMPinclusions

It seems to have been fixed in the meantime. I just tried it again and
rsync worked fine. The crash still happened, so I deleted the texmf-mswin
directory and let rsync refetch it, and now that works too. So it seems my
context on win64 runs fine again. No idea what caused the problem, but at
least it works now :)

Thanks for taking a look!

[NTG-context] Minimals Beta on Windows 64bit

[Andreas Schneider]

Since one of the last Betas mtxrun seems to be aware of 64bit windows, but
all the stubs and scripts seem to be missing support for that resulting in
the whole setup to not work at all.

First-setup fails with stuff like that:
MTXrun | run: rsync -rpztlv --stats  
contextgarden.net::'minimals/current/bin/common/mswin/
minimals/current/bin/context/mswin/ minimals/current/bin/metapost/mswin/
minimals/current/bin/man/ minimals/current/bin/luatex/mswin/
minimals/current/bin/xetex/mswin/ minimals/current/bin/luatex/mswin/
minimals/current/bin/luatex/mswin/ minimals/current/bin/pdftex/mswin/'
'c:/context/tex/texmf-mswin'The source and destination cannot both be
remote.
rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at main.c(1127)
[receiver=3.0.2]

Easy fix: in mtx-update.lua, line 294 the current check is
  if osplatform == windows or osplatform == mswin then
which should also check for mswin-64.

But even after fixing that, mtxrun fails at several points, because it
tries to run further commands from tex/texmf-mswin-64.

Another easy fix: add a hardlink/junction for that directory.
But that only ended in the following error whenever I invoke mtxrun,
texlua, etc.:

texlua.exe - Application Error
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc022). click OK to
close the application.

I don't know why that was changed, but afaik all 64bit versions of windows
support 32bit too so I would vote to leave it as it was before - just deal
with mswin-64 as if it was mswin.

Best Regards,
Andreas.

Re: [NTG-context] centralized bib database

 Hi all,
 
 AFAIK with the bib module one can't specify the database by an URL. I
 believe such feature would be great in allowing users to centralise all
 the bibliographical stuff in one place even when they work on several

 regards,

I personally use Zotero for that - nice interface, online sync, file 
database and of course: it can export to bibtex.

Mendeley might also work, but I had lots of problems with their bibtex 
export (simply because it wasn't really bibtex, saving fields that aren't in 
the specs, etc.)

Re: [NTG-context] \pdfcatalog broken in MkIV

 Hello,
 
 as suggested in the thread about PDF Page Labels, \pdfcatalog can be used
 to manually modify the PDF Stream. However it seems that this does not
 currently work in MkIV (from the minimals, beta branch). In MkII it does
 exactly as I though (the resulting PDF contains a Catalog section with the
 content I passed to \pdfcatalog). In the PDF produced by MkIV however no
 Catalog can be found.
 
 Best Regards,

*bump*

Any chance of having a fix for this? An example can be found here:
http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20081016.174838.bff55fc9.en.html
texexec/MKII produces a PDF with said catalog, luatex/MKIV doesn't.

Thanks in advance,

 Can you check with other PDF readers, it looks like a reader issue to
 me. I've got some strange color issues with ConTeXt generated PDFs and
 Adobe's reader in the past, namely any page with images would have the

 use Adobe's for screen reading, I didn't bother). Yours might be
 something similar.

Indeed, it works with XPDF, Okular and Foxit Reader (haven't tried others 
yet). That may explain, why I didn't notice the problem earlier. As it 
seems, it even happens with older context versions (I now tried 2010.05.13 
on a different system) and with older versions of my document of which I was 
pretty sure that they looked fine before - apparently I didn't try with 
Acrobat or just didn't notice the problem back then.

Thanks for that hint in the right direction!

 This happens because on pages with transparency AR switches to a
 different color model, and the resulting color conversions are not
 producing the same results as conversion to the default (sRGB, I guess)
 color model. It is annoying but unlikely to get fixed as this problem
 has been around for ages, and more importantly: Adobe is not convinced
 this is an actual bug.
 
 It could be the same problem Andreas reported, but it is hard to say
 for sure without looking at Andreas' actual PDF.
 
 Best wishes,

It seems indeed to be a problem with Acrobat, and not (directly) ConTeXt. As 
I also wrote in my answer to Khaled, it could be even reproduced on a 
different system with an older ConTeXt version.

Of course that doesn't rule out the possibility, that it's triggered by 
something ConTeXt does. Since it is my diploma thesis I'm working on, I 
can't just publish the PDF without consent from my university (which they 
probably won't give at that point). If you are interested in taking a closer 
look at that problem, I could send you the PDF in private. If you aren't (or 
simply don't have the time), it's also no problem ... as long as the print 
version looks fine, which apparently is the case.

Thank you for your insight :-)
Andreas.

[NTG-context] Strange Font problem

[Andreas Schneider]

Hello,

since one of the last betas (I guess two weeks ago), a strange problem 
appears in my current document. The first ~10 page are completely fine (i.e. 
as usual) but the following ~20 pages have some kind of a font problem. The 
font looks bolder/grainy when zooming out in Acrobat and also the scrolling 
is pretty slow. After these pages, it's fine again. I don't see any specific 
trigger, there's nothing special on these pages.

Sorry that I can't give any more details, but I wasn't able yet to pinpoint 
the problem. Even producing a long test document using \dorecurse didn't 
provoke that problem.

I made a screenshot of one of the aforementioned spots where it switches - 
in this case from wrong to right.

http://aksdb.homeip.net/ConTeXt_Font.png

I guess you can easily see that the font on the upper page (the wrong one) 
looks different from the page below (the right one). They should be the same 
and it even looks correct when zooming further in. Both pages are 
consecutive and there is no code inbetween (no manual break, nothing).

Has someone seen something like this before and can give me a hint where to 
start looking for the trigger so that I can maybe produce a smaller test 
example to help find and fix the root cause?

Thanks in advance,
Andreas.
