[NTG-context] Bug? thinrule in natural table MKIV
I put a thinrule in a table as follows:
\starttext
\bTABLE
\bTR\bTD\thinrule\eTD\eTR
\eTABLE
\stoptext
It worked fine under MKII. However, when I switched to MKIV (both current and
beta) I got the following error message:
! Missing { inserted.

\stopTBLprocessing \fi \eg...

Is this a bug?
Is there a workaround?

[NTG-context] Remove leading spaces
When a function is called, I would like to remove any leading space. Then the
function can control the spacing. If I don't remove spaces, it then makes a
difference whether or not I have a space before the function is called.
I would like the output of the following two lines to be equal:
This is a \MyFunction[1] test.
This is a\MyFunction[1] test.
However, they are not because the first line has a space before the function
call.
\def\MyFunction{\dosingleempty\doMyFunction}
\def\doMyFunction[#1]{%
\processaction[#1]%
[1=\medspace dog ,%
2=\medspace cat ,%
default=\ldots]%
}
\starttext
Test1: This is a\MyFunction[1] test.
Test2: This is a \MyFunction[1] test.
Test3: This is a \MyFunction test.
Test4: This is a\MyFunction test.
\stoptext
Is there a way to do this and not cause any side effects?
Thanks,
Bart

Here's a stab. It uses a macro that Wolfgang wrote on getting the line count

OK. That's not Tagged PDF. Tagged PDF's main features focus on accessibility, adding information for the visually impaired (you can, for example, tag some text as part of the page header, by contrast to the page body: an application that reads the document out loud would know not to read that part). It also allows better archiving (the PDF/A standard). All concerns very distinct from the needs of publishers. I'm just learning about XMP (Extensible Metadata Platform) which Luigi mentioned, but it doesn't really look like it contains the information you mention (although you can apparently add all sort of metadata, including images). Actually, the kind of information the printing shop asks for is available in any PDF file in a straightforward way: the very format has been designed so that all the PDF objects can be accessed directly with extreme efficience (there is a cross-reference table with the byte offsets to every object inside the file). Individual pages are objects in a PDF file; they contain references to the resources needed to render them (fonts, images, etc.), so the basic functionality to render each page individually is already present in the format. And it's been there from day one -- which is, by the way, the reason why the insides of a PDF file look so undecipherable to the human eye: it's designed to be efficient to process automatically, not to be read by a programmer. By contrast, an XML-based format would be (somewhat) more human-friendly, but much slower to parse. There's a variation on this basic feature: if you look at a PDF file over the Internet, the cross-reference table isn't conveniently located because it is at the very end of the file; so you need to download the entire file before your PDF viewer can start displaying it (I think the argument behind that design decision was that a PDF-producing application only knows the entire list of objects at the end of the first pass, and can thus output the whole file sequentially in a single pass. Of course that clashes directly with the needs of PDF-consuming applications). To circumvent this, Adobe devised a special type of object that contains the same information as the cross-reference table, which you can put at the very beginning of the file, together with the material needed to render the first pages. This is Linearized PDF (sometimes, confusingly enough, called optimized PDF). It's rather unlikely that it'd be what your printer wants (I suppose the file is already available on disk somewhere), but in any case, Ghostscript can produce it with the utility pdfopt. ConTeXt isn't able to produce it; it has been ruled that it was beyond the scope of pdfTeX and luaTeX. When I get specific information from the printing shop, I'll pass it along. I'm interested, too. But needless to say, I'm very concerned. If tagged pdf support is not available in ConTeXt/LuaTeX, I feel that difficulties are either here now, or at best, looming on the horizon. Why? There's progress made every day. Tagged PDF is indeed a problem for the moment, but it's clearly not the feature your printer asks for, and as a rule, you can be sure that if some functionality is essential to publishers, it will be added quickly to ConTeXt :-) Thanks again to all for the responses. The information has been very enlightening. I have sent an optimized (I know, badly named,) PDF file off to the publisher and I'm waiting for his response. From all indications on this thread, I'm somewhat optimistic that it will solve the problem. I'll let you know what I hear back.

Thanks Wolfgang.
I like the way you implemented the solution; however, if I load the pgf/tikz
libraries with your solution, it still forces the frame to the next page.
Ultimately I want to load an image and have it framed for the background on
the part page. I like the ability that tikz gives me to adjust the opacity of
the image, which is why I tried to find a solution using tikz.
So I can find a solution without tikz, but is there one that will work with

Thanks! That one works. And much more elegant than what I was developing.
Just so I understand:
background={partimage,color} : This creates the background from both the
image and the backgroundcolor, correct?
What does the s=1 and the a=1 do in defining the color partwhite? I can't
find anything on the web.

[NTG-context] Dynamic frame height
I'm trying to create a section at the bottom of a page that has a number of
blank lines for writing notes. However, I want the frame and the lines to be
automatically generated from the remaining space on the page. How do I
control the number of lines and the frame height to achieve the desired
results?

No, you should define like:
\def\myloop#1{%
\tempcnta=\the\startcnt%
\loop
\advance \tempcnta by 1
\if\tempcnta#1\repeat
}
No \else before \repeat in this case and no \fi outside the loop.
Taking a look at the definition, you could find the following
code (something like that, I can't remember clearly):
\def\loop#1\repeat{\def\body{#1}\iterate}
\def\iterate{something to do with \body}
You can see there should not be an extra \else in the \body, and
you don't need the \fi to enclose it.
I don't know whether I've made my point clear.
Chen,
Thanks. That makes sense now. However, when I take your code and run it, it
only goes through 1 iteration of the loop and exits. I'm puzzled.

Anyway, I recommand you take the advanced interface as Hans has suggested.
It's easier to use, makes more sense and is more ConTeXt-like.
Chen,
Just to make sure I wasn't going too insane, I took your code and ran it. It
worked. The difference is that in the previous email you sent, you had the
code like this:
\if\tempcnta#1\repeat
instead of this newer one:
\ifnum\tempcnta#1\repeat
That's why it didn't work.
Thanks to all!

[NTG-context] Building tables at runtime via --mode= option
I'm trying to build a table in a project that will be built based on a
commandline parameter. Currently, I'd like to use the --mode= command.
However, I've run into a number of snags that I have attempted to solve
without any luck. I've included some sample code of what I would like to do.
I can do all of what I need using \doifmodeelse, etc. However, I'm looking
for a more elegeant solution. Any hints/solutions are welcomed!
Problems:
1) \currentmode: I cannot use this variable in my file, but it works in the
source code. Question: Is the mode option okay, or is there a better way?
2) CellWidth (below) needs to be a floating point dimension, based the size of
the paper. So I need to divide the size of the paper (\textwidth) by a number
and make sure it stays as a dimension.
3) I tried to use \getnumber[Rounds] to span a number of columns (
\bTD[nc=\getnumber[Rounds]]) but this would not compile. Here's the error:
Runaway argument?
Rounds=\plusone \ifnum \tblny =\plusone \ifnum \currentcol \maximumcol \ETC.
! Paragraph ended before \getnumber was complete.
Sample:
\definenumber[Rounds]
\setnumber[Rounds]{6}
% desire: \setupnumber[Rounds]{\currentmode}
% and verify that it's a number between a given range.
% \currentmode comes back as undefined
\definenumber[TotalCol]
\setnumber[TotalCol]{\getnumber[Rounds] + 2}

If \nobreak didn't work, then your paragraph wasn't ended yet,
and you need an extra empty line or an \endgra. Try this:
\definestartstop[AuthorNote]
[before={\bgroup \startnarrower\switchtobodyfont[10pt]},
after={\endgraf\nobreak\vskip-0.2ex\nobreak Author

You can try adding \nobreak commands before and after the \vskip

I added those, but it had no effect.
I also tried replacing \vskip with \blank and that had no effect either (I
didn't think it would).
Other thoughts?

You tried to enable doublesided documents with \setuplayout
but the option location control the location of your document
on the real paper, this option is usefull if you use different
sizes your document and paper e.g. \setupapersize[A4][A3].
Thanks Wolfgang for your response. I'm having a little trouble understanding
your response, so let me tell you what I think you said.
\setuplayout should not be used to enable doublesided documents. Because that
option (\setuplayout[location=doublesided] is used to control the location of
your document on real paper. Is that correct?
If so, then I don't need to use the \setuplayout[location=doublesided] option
for the example. Correct?
Doublesided documents are enable with
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided], ConTeXt has also
a special settings alternative={singlesided,doublesided},
this this a normal single sided document with the same margins
on every page but you can use the left and right keys for
\page, \setuplayer etc.
So I did the following with the above code:
% \setuplayout[location=doublesided]
\setuppagenumbering[
location={footer,middle},
alternative=doublesided,
option=doublesided,
style=\em\tfx,
way=bytext,
]
What does the option=doublesided do? Do I need it? I'm not sure where I
found that one.
I still have the same problem with the last chapter in a division, the headers
and the footers print out. I also tried with/without the
option=doublesided.

Add, ConTeXt goes by default to the next right page after
a sectionblock and insert the header and your pagebreak
for the first chapter can't work because you're past the
left page after the frontmatter you wanted to be empty.

Solved!
I figured it out (after 400 attempts). By adding the strut=no, that centered
the picture without differing offsets, then I added the offset=0pt. Now the
image is centered with a border.

Re: [NTG-context] End Notes and Minimals
Hans,
I tried the changes, but now footnotes do not appear at all!
Here's a copy of the code that I used (combining both Hans' and Taco's changes
-- although I tried several variants).
local s = lpeg.Ct(lpeg.splitat(,))
local h = { }
function commands.doifcommonelse(a,b)
local ha = h[a]
local hb = h[b]
if not ha then ha = {s:match(a)} h[a] = ha end
if not hb then hb = {s:match(b)} h[b] = hb end
for i=1,#ha do
for j=1,#hb do
if ha[i] == hb[j] then
return cs.testcase(true)
end
end
end
return cs.testcase(false)
end
function commands.doifinsetelse(a,b)
local hb = h[b]
if not hb then hb = {s:match(b)} h[b] = hb end
for i=1,#hb do
if a == hb[i] then
return cs.testcase(true)
end
end
return cs.testcase(false)
end
Ideas?
Thanks,

Re: [NTG-context] End Notes and Minimals
Thanks Wolfgang.
I looked at Taco's diff file and changed the routines in syst-lua.lua.
However, I followed you're lead and changed core-job.lua and it works! Yes
the footnotes come out.
New problem (also happens on MkII), if there are a lot of end notes, instead
of going to the next page after the first page is filled, they go to the
bottom of the first page and dissappear off the bottom. The page count
appears to be correct, but the notes are the second page.
How to I get the footnotes (end notes) to appear on more than one page. I'm
using footnote/placefootnotes combination to product the end notes.
Help!

You should tell us what you have done, I replaced the old function
in core-job.lua with the new from Hans and I get endnotes with your
test file.

It's a bug in the \expdoifcommonelse macro used in MkIV,
it evaluates always the true value and you get footnotes.
Here is a example for Hans:

Re: [NTG-context] XeTeX, Adobe Garmond dash, quotes, etc.
Fontforge shows no ligatures for Adobe Garamond; however, it does show ligatures for the Tallys fonts. So that probably explains why there are no ligatures. However, the font has a lot of kerning pairs, but I don't seem to be able turn those on/off with the \definefontfeature directive as I could do in the Tallys font. And back to the original problem, en dash, em dash, quotes that work in other fonts don't work here.

Hello,
If you are using pdfTeX, then it's the fault of your fonts. (The one
that prepared the metrics forgot to add the proper ligatures to the
font. This is not trivial to make.) But then - if you are using
pdfTeX, there should be no name: in font declaration. name: is more
or less reserved for filename of otf/ttf fonts in XeTeX and LuaTeX.
If you are using XeTeX or LuaTeX, then you should remove all the [ec]
brackets and replace [encoding=ec] with [features=default].
Some clarification is needed though:
1.) You could (in theory) use some replacements for `` and to
produce proper quotation marks, but for Unicode-aware engines that's
highly deprecated. Better use \quotation{Here's a nicely looking
quote.} or proper quotation marks. The sequence `` was a pure hack (in
my opinion), but a sensible one in that time since there were no
quotation marks neither on keyboards nor in encodings when Knuth wrote
TeX. \quotation is a cleaner way to produce quotation marks. (I'm a
bit biased though. Knuthian quotation marks never worked for my
language, so I always had to figure out how to get the proper ones,
and \quotation was the proper solution for me.)
2.) in LuaTeX and XeTeX there are three replacements left by default:
endash, emdash and apostrophe. The main reason being that it's still a
bit too difficult to:
- find endash and emdash on keyboards
- see the difference between the two, esp. in fixed width fonts
- change the habit and type proper apostrophe instead of corresponding
ascii character: '
3.) For some reason, features=default doesn't work as it should
since script=latn has been left out some time ago, so you need to
fix definition of default font features. (Or maybe someone else
knows how to handle this in a better way. This is what I do. I do not
claim that it's the right way to do it.)

[NTG-context] XeTex Mara Font

information about the font (via fontforge):
file: marafont.ttf
Fontname: MaraFontNFPlain:
Family Name: MaraFontNF Plain:
(yes, the colons are in the name)
I've tried a couple of ways, using both the fontname and the family name, both
with and without the ending semi-colons; however, it fails at compile time.

\definetypeface[Mara][rm][Xserif][MaraFontNF Plain]
\starttext
\startfont[Mara]
This is a test.

Here's the relevant output from the log file, which looks very similar to the

No, the message says the problem is with the space character, but it is of little concern here (XeTeX doesn't use PostScript font names at all). Is it the font from http://www.perry.com/disney/indy/marafont.html? It seems to have quite a number of other problems actually (xdvipdfmx protests heavily when I try loading it with plain XeTeX). You could try saving it again from FontForge, and installing that modified font (you of course need to uninstall the original one from your system, or more problems will likely happen). While doing so, you can of course modify whatever seems suspicious (like the trailing colon, etc.).

I know I'm doing something wrong, but every variation I've tried ends up with

Note the two changes: \definetypeface's in the first typescript have
been replaced with \definefontsynonym commands, and the font names have
been prepended with name:, forcing XeTeX to look for an installed font
instead of a TFM (in plain XeTeX, you get the same result by surrounding
the font name with double quotes).
I am unable to test the typescript because I don't have Caslon Old
Face, but it works when I replace the font names with the appropriate
faces from Adobe Caslon, which I have.

I was able to take the code and make it work correctly to stretch the
chapter title. What I want is two lines for a chapter head. For
example, Line 1: Chapter One
Line 2: Title for Chap 1
I want line 1 to be stretched. Everything I have tried does not work. I
can get the Chapter word to stretch, but not the whole line (and it
should probably be treated as a whole line when stretching). I was never
able to get the chapter number (now a word) to stretch.
So how do I grab the output for line 1 and then stretch it?
Here's a sample of what I have without any stretching:
\def\Myheader#1#2{%
\framedtext[width=0.60\textwidth, frame=off, align=middle]{%
\vbox{\headtext{chapter}~#1 \blank #2}}}
\def\englishnumbers#1{
\ifcase#1 \or ONE\or TWO\or THREE\or FOUR\or FIVE\fi}
\defineconversion[englishnumbers][\englishnumbers]
\setupsection[chapter][conversion=englishnumbers]
\setuphead [chapter][
command=\Myheader,
textcommand=\bfd,
]
\setupheadtext[chapter=CHAPTER] % used by \headtext
\starttext
\chapter{Title for Chap 1}
\processfile{tufte}
\stoptext
P.S. If there's a better way to do the number-word conversion, let me
know.

You could use it only with \deeptextcommand, here is a old mail
with a example from Hans (you could ignore the other code).

l
look for the property mechanism
\startproperty[stretch]stretched\stopproperty
token processing is always tricky since the parser does not know what to
expect; properties use a pdf trick; in mkiv we have more clever stretching
Hans,
I tried the above code and it failed. I looked around on the ConTeXt site and
the web in general. It seems like a \defineproperty[stretch] needs to be
declared, but I can't find it anywhere. You'll have to excuse my ignorance,
but will you be explicit on how to use the \startproperty[stretch] stretch
\stopproperty.

[NTG-context] Kerning
I am trying to change the spacing of a chapter title head. I found the
\kern command; however, I could not get that to work over a string of text.
Then I found the following code:
\def\dolist{\afterassignment\dodolist\let\next= }
\def\dodolist{\ifx\next\endlist \let\next\relax
\else \\\let\next\dolist \fi
\next}
\def\endlist{\endlist}
\def\track#1\by#2{\def\\{\next\kern#2}%
\leavevmode \hbox{\expandafter\dolist#1\endlist}}
Then I tried:
def\MyChapterCommand#1#2{
\framed[align=center,frame=off,width=\textwidth]{
\vbox{
\track{This is a Test} \by{.2em}
\track #2 \by{.2em}
}
}
\setuphead[chapter][
command=\MyChapterCommand
}
The output from the \track{This is a Test} \by{.2em} works. However, the
second track command (\track #2 \by{0.2em}) fails.
I spent many hours last night trying to change the kerning. What I want is
something like: \kern{TEXT}{KERNING AMOUNT}.
What's available, or how do I fix the track command above. By the way,I'm
running mkii.
Thanks,
Bart

Re: [NTG-context] Kerning
Wolfgang, thanks so much for your help so far.
I was able to take the code and make it work correctly to stretch the chapter
title. What I want is two lines for a chapter head. For example,
Line 1: Chapter One
Line 2: Title for Chap 1
I want line 1 to be stretched. Everything I have tried does not work. I can
get the Chapter word to stretch, but not the whole line (and it should
probably be treated as a whole line when stretching). I was never able to get
the chapter number (now a word) to stretch.
So how do I grab the output for line 1 and then stretch it?
Here's a sample of what I have without any stretching:
\def\Myheader#1#2{%
\framedtext[width=0.60\textwidth, frame=off, align=middle]{%
\vbox{\headtext{chapter}~#1 \blank #2}}}
\def\englishnumbers#1{
\ifcase#1 \or ONE\or TWO\or THREE\or FOUR\or FIVE\fi}
\defineconversion[englishnumbers][\englishnumbers]
\setupsection[chapter][conversion=englishnumbers]
\setuphead [chapter][
command=\Myheader,
textcommand=\bfd,
]
\setupheadtext[chapter=CHAPTER] % used by \headtext
\starttext
\chapter{Title for Chap 1}
\processfile{tufte}
\stoptext
P.S. If there's a better way to do the number-word conversion, let me know.
