What am I doing wrong?
switching a bodyfont with an undefined bodyfontenvironment inside a group,
which is very inefficient
(and a 1.5em bodyfont switch can probably better be replaced by a direct
font definition)
I will look into the bodyenvironment stuff. Is not much to go on. :-(
Had to delve into what I am doing. Was a ‘little while ago’ I wrote it.
I thought that 1.5em was used for relative definitions. I have a inc
file that I use. In this I have:
\def\Title{\dodoubleempty\doTitle}
\def\doTitle[#1][#2]{
\ifsecondargument
\testpage[#2]
\else
\testpage[15]
\fi
\startalignment[center]
{
\myblank[2*big]
\switchtobodyfont[1.5em]
\bf\em#1
}
\myblank
\stopalignment
}
In this case I have in my mane document:
\input /home/cecil/ConTeXt-inc/standard-init.inc
\setupbodyfont[palatino,10pt]
What would be a better way to do this? I prefer my include file
deciding the increase of the font.

[NTG-context] How to center with picture taken into consideration
I keep bugging the list. ;-)
I center some text on a place where I also place a picture on the
right site. Is it possible to center on the part that is not taken up
by the picture?
The picture is placed with:
\definelayer[picture][
preset=righttop,
width=\textwidth,
]
\setlayer[picture]{\externalfigure[graphics/pasfoto]}
\setupbackgrounds[text][text][background=picture]
\setupbackgrounds[state=repeat]
To make things a little more complicated, the placing of the picture
is conditional. So it is not always done.

[NTG-context] Heading in setuplayout from a variable
It is a long time since I used ConTeXt. I am starting again.
I have the following code:
\setvariables[meta][type=cecil]
\if\getvariable{meta}{type}=cecil
\setvariables[meta][
name={Cecil Westerhof},
]
\setvariables[layout][
header=0mm,
]
\fi
But that does not work.
For the conditional I also tried:
\ifx\getvariable{meta}{type}\cecil
But that does not work either.
What is the correct way to define the comparison?

Thanks. That works. In my case I use a \doif.
Is there also something like a switch statement? If not I could use a

[NTG-context] Why does startlines not work in a function
I have the following code:
\startlines
\startalignment[center]
\setupindenting[no]
\doifelse {\getvariable{meta}{personalInfo}} {long} {
longline 1
longline 2
longline 3
longline 4
longline 5
longline 6
longline 7
longline 8
} {
shortline 1
shortline 2
shortline 3
shortline 4
}
\stopalignment
\stoplines
I wanted to put this in a function. So I wrote:
\def\Foo{
\startlines
\startalignment[center]
\setupindenting[no]
\doifelse {\getvariable{meta}{personalInfo}} {long} {
longline 1
longline 2
longline 3
longline 4
longline 5
longline 6
longline 7
longline 8
} {
shortline 1
shortline 2
shortline 3
shortline 4
}
\stopalignment
\stoplines
}
But then the text becomes one line instead of several lines.
So I had to rewrite it to:
\def\FooTwo{
\startalignment[center]
\setupindenting[no]
\doifelse {\getvariable{meta}{personalInfo}} {long} {
longline 1
longline 2
longline 3
longline 4
longline 5
longline 6
longline 7
longline 8
} {
shortline 1
shortline 2
shortline 3
shortline 4
}
\stopalignment
}
I called it first Foo2, but that worked havoc on Foo.

There is only one problem. If I first generate the default one and

suppose that when --result is used, first the pdf with the same name

It is still the same. I know used context instead of my script. (Normally I
compile with a script, because I do not like all the output. When there is
an error I show the last part of the output.) I saw:
fontsdefining font with asked name 'wingdings' is not
found using lookup 'file'
fontsdefining unknown font wingdings, loading aborted
fontsdefining unable to define wingdings as

So properly I need to install the font.
Would it not be better to have at least the option that not finding a font
is an error?

Re: [NTG-context] Errors installing ConTeXt on Windows

Re: [NTG-context] Errors installing ConTeXt on Windows
2011/8/18 Alasdair McAndrew amc...@gmail.com My laptop running ubuntu died this evening, so as an interim measure I'm trying to install ConTeXt on a windows machine, using the GUI ConTeXt minimals installer. However, after only a few seconds of running, I get two popup errors: Update Failed: error code: 1, Make Failed: error code: 1, after which the installation exits. Does anybody know what's going on here, and how I can get it working? I just made this work for a client. The parts of the manual that are interesting I have attached. This installation takes the assumption you are going to work with MKIV. If you also want to work with MKII you have to install Ruby. If you do not want to work with TeXworks, you can skip the second part. :-D -- Cecil Westerhof installConTeXtWithTeXworks.pdf Description: Adobe PDF document ___ 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://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
Re: [NTG-context] Smileys
2011/8/16 Wolfgang Schuster schuster.wolfg...@googlemail.com
Instead of using something like ;-}, what looks nice, but is not the
highpoint of typography, I would like to use something like \smiley, \grin,
\cool, …
You need a font with the symbol, there are also fonts available where you
can use layers to use different colors for parts of the symbol.
- http://www.ffdingbatsfont.com/
- http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2011/057859.html
I am still quite inexperienced with ConTeXt. I found the following document:
http://statweb.calpoly.edu/jdoi/web/reference/symbols-a4.pdf
It is for LaTeX, but I can not find ConTeXt specific stuff. In table 188
there is a smiley. This brought me to to following:
\starttext
\usesymbols[wasy]
\symbol[was][smiley]
\symbol[was][qed]
\showsymbolset[general]
% \showsymbolset[music]
% \showsymbolset[astronomy]
% \showsymbolset[astrology]
% \showsymbolset[geometry]
% \showsymbolset[physics]
% \showsymbolset[apl]
\stoptext
The smiley does not display, instead I get the text smiley. Also it is not
shown with the \showsymbolset. Why?
Is there any documentation about how to work –for example– with the dingbats
font. At the moment I am just feeling like shooting in the dark. :-{
When knowing how to do it, I could try to make a smiley module. ;-}
By the way: do I understand correctly that with \showsymbolset the second
column shows how the character is displayed and the third columns shows the
used space for the character?

Re: [NTG-context] Smileys
2011/8/17 Mojca Miklavec mojca.miklavec.li...@gmail.com
Is it possible to work with smileys in ConTeXt?
Instead of using something like ;-}, what looks nice, but is not the
highpoint of typography, I would like to use something like \smiley,
\grin,
\cool, …
My suggestion would be to find a set of PNG (or other) images that you
like, put them all into some subfolder and then define a list in the
spirit of:
\def\smiley{\externalfigure[img/smilies/smiley.png][height=\lineheight]}
Of course you can also use fonts (even marvosym), but they will only
show ugly black-and-white strokes which is probably not what you want.
At least originally was it what I wanted. Because when you use fonts they
scale to the fontsize you are using. So I would think that looks the best.
But you make a good point.
(If you want auto-replacement to work, you need a few more hacks, but
I would personally not like smilies to be inserted automatically.)
Neither do I. ;-}

When playing with it, I found that it seems like every rotation wants its

But this is only the case when the rotation is the first thing to be printed

my first guess would be
\midaligned{\vbox{%

I tried a lot, but just this one not. I got one long line with the three
parts beside each-other, a little room between the parts, no effect, …
untested.. ;-)
It does exactly what I want. :-D
Would be a nice one to make a macro from. Have to delve first more deeply
into ConTeXt. I do not know enough about parameter handling. (Named,
variable, …)
I went one step further. Because I found the upper and lower parts to small,
I used:
\midaligned{\vbox{%
\clip[ny=5,y=1]{\color[blue]\MyLogo}
\clip[ny=5,y=2]{\color[blue]\MyLogo}
\clip[ny=5,y=3]{\color[yellow]\MyLogo}

Hello Cecil ...
Here is my simple tip. All you need is a font set, which are needed
emoticons ...
\def\numcharacter#1{\char#1{}}
\let\dochar\numcharacter
\definefont[wingding][**wingding.ttf at 12pt]
\starttext
{\wingding \dochar{74}\dochar{75}\dochar{**76}}
\stoptext
That just gives JKL.

Re: [NTG-context] Why is the \crlf needed to display the table correctly

I think it is an obscure bug. If I take your code but change the
following:
\setupTABLE[c][1][align=right,width=.35\textwidth]
\setupTABLE[c][2][width=.65\textwidth]
I have the same problem.
Change “align=right” to “align={right,broad}”.

Re: [NTG-context] Installing ConTeXt in Windows (XP)
2011/8/12 Willi Egger w.eg...@boede.nl just out of curiosity I installed TeXWorks under Windows (XP). In order to let TeXWorks use the minimals one needs to set things up. 1. create a batch file e.g. TW-context.bat with the following content: call c:\context\tex\setuptex.bat c:\context\tex context %~dpn1.tex I saved the file in the Owners folder. Of course the path in the call statement must reflect the situation on your machine. 2 Start TeXWorks 3 Open under 'Edit' 'Preferences' and there the tab 'Typeseting' 4 Add in the top window with plus the path to the batch-file e.g. C:/Documents and Settings/Owner 5 Add with + in the processing tools window a new entry, fill the configuration screen in: Name: e.g. ContextMKIV 6 Fill the Programme: (easiest with the Browse button) C:/Documents and Settings/Owner/TW-context.bat 7 Add with + an new argument and fill in $basename 8 Click the checkbox to have TW showing the generated pdf 9 Click OK 10 Change the default tool to be used to ContextMKIV 11 Click OK and you are done! For one reason or another it does not work. I think because the batch setups an environment and does not compile the source. I do not get an error message, but the pdf is not generated. When I open a DOS prompt, I need to execute the batch file to get context recognized as a command. When I execute context after executing the batch file, the pdf is generated. But when I change the batch file for: C:/context/tex/texmf-mswin/bin/context.exe The compilation is started, but does not work correctly, because the environment is not set correctly. I tried executing the batch file to set the environment, but that is not recognised in TeXworks. I first tried to change the batch file and let it start TeXworks. That worked, but then I had a better idea. In step four I set the path to: C:/context/tex/texmf-mswin/bin And now it works completely correct I think. -- Cecil Westerhof ___ 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://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

%\backslash setupbackend[export=yes,xhtml=yes,css=yes]
\stopasciimode
And while searching a little further I also found:
\type{%\setupbackend[export=yes,xhtml=yes,css=yes]}
This has the added benefit that it displays somewhat better because of the
increased indentation (for which I misuse spaces).

Re: [NTG-context] List of special characters
2011/8/15 Wolfgang Schuster schuster.wolfg...@googlemail.com
2011/8/15 Cecil Westerhof cldwester...@gmail.com
While writing the documentation about using ConTeXt I need some 'special'
characters. A few I have found, for example \%, \backslash, \texttilde,
\percent. But until now I did not find how to represent [ and ]. How would I
use those characters in my document?
Also: is there somewhere a 'complete' list? I found several, but they
where all for LaTeX and are not completely the same. For example LaTeX uses
\textbackslash which does not work in ConTeXt which uses \backslash.
I could not find it at first (there are so many things), but one solution I
found:
\startasciimode
%\backslash setupbackend[export=yes,xhtml=yes,css=yes]
\stopasciimode
And while searching a little further I also found:
\type{%\setupbackend[export=yes,xhtml=yes,css=yes]}
This has the added benefit that it displays somewhat better because of the
increased indentation (for which I misuse spaces).
\setuptyping[margin=yes]
\starttext
before
\starttyping
\setupbackend[export=yes]
\stoptyping
after
\stoptext
Very nice. I now use:
\setuptyping[
blank=small,
lines=no,
margin=30pt,
]
I have a bigger margin now. The problem is that there is a lot of white
space above and under the typed text. I tried the blank and lines parameters
to get rid of it, but that does not work. How can I get rid of the unwanted
white space?

Use “align=right” for the first column.
I changed:

But it does not change anything. (It is the right place I think, because

Also it overrides the:

Then set the alignment with \bTD in your \StartTable command or just use
normal table commands.
\startsetups mytable
\setupTABLE[header][align=middle,style=bold]
\setupTABLE[start][align=normal]

\bTD Starts a chapter with the named title. Is ended with

I think it is an obscure bug. If I take your code but change the following:
\setupTABLE[c][1][align=right,width=.35\textwidth]
\setupTABLE[c][2][width=.65\textwidth]
I have the same problem.

(Hans had mentioned this as a possible way to convert to HTML during TUG 2009). When you find them, I would be interested in them. And maybe I can improve on them. -- Cecil Westerhof ___ 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://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
Re: [NTG-context] General suggestion: Unit tests for ConText
2011/7/18 Peter Schorsch trala...@freenet.de during my work with context I wrote a bunch of fewliners mainly to test how to do things. When there change from mkii to mkiv occured many of my mini-tests failed and later with the growing of mkiv restartet to work - some just without adaption.. some with some adjustment to a new syntax. I realize that they have the same functionality like unit-tests - just instead of comparing classes and variables - a pdf-output is visually compared. So I like to suggest to introduce unit tests for context. It would a) increase the quality of context as it makes the testing easier for the developer b) it also would be a great source of minihowtos for learning context. Before I write my technical ideas about this I would like to know what are you thinking about this idea? I think it is a great idea. -- Cecil Westerhof ___ 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://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

2011/7/19 Martin Schröder mar...@oneiros.de 2011/7/19 Mojca Miklavec mojca.miklavec.li...@gmail.com: If you can throw away any formatting you did and if you didn't use too many ConTeXt specific tricks, you can simply rewrite your code to LaTeX with a few regular expressions etc. But in the same spirit it might be way easier to just convert the document straight to ODT using copy-paste and applying some formatting there. Or, if you know up front that you need multiple output formats, you could use Markdown/Pandoc etc. and let it generate ConTeXt as needed. I did not know. They where happy with PDF's all the time, but when the project was almost finished, they changed the requirements.

Was it a database at least? They use a program that is been made by the company I am working for. It was used for ten years, but never documented. First it was they wanted documentation because they did not want to be lost if our company stops working on the application. Now they want to further develop the application themselves.(They have the rights on the sources.)

Re: [NTG-context] Edit a ConTeXt generated document with Adobe Acrobat Professional
2011/7/15 John Haltiwanger john.haltiwan...@gmail.com Cecil, I don't think its fair to constrain yourself from ever using Context again. That was not what I mend. When making my own stuff where I do not have the need off interoperability I will keep using it. But in other case I should evaluate the situation correctly. Between a rock an a hard place is not a nice position. ;-} What does 'competely independent' mean? 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. If you have been asked to hand over layout decisions, the best is to reproduce your document in XHTML, copy it into a word processor, and let them proceed with their own desing in their proprietary WYSIWYG software. No the problem is not the layout. They are satisfied with that. They just do not want to be dependent on our company. Even if they just want to make textual changes, this is probably still be your best bet. You can then relatively easily convert them back to Context (a matter of re-mapping text into Context). That sounds like a good plan. Converting back is properly not necessary. But it would not hurt if it is possible. There is a plan I have to produce an easier-for-point-and-clickers interface to collaborate on high quality Context based layouts, but the time hasn't appeared to materialize it yet. Sounds good. If I could be of help … If you search through the archives for 'pandoc' you will see that many of us have chosen to abstract ourselves from direct dependence on Context for our document 'coding'. There is a tangible flexibility provided by writing in a visually semantic preformat like Markdown. It helps during the editing stages because it is easy to generate other formats that people are more familiar with (OpenOffice can be converted to Word---then it is a matter of 'backporting' changes to the Context source). I'll do that. If they weren't clear about planning to take on this design responsibility--which they should have long before the deadline--than I feel it is the fault of the editors and not the fault of Context. Under such conditions I would have written text for these people in something they understand, like an word processor document (LibreOffice can save as MS Word easily enough). That is what I mend that in hindsight I should not have used ConTeXt. ;-} Sorry to hear you are having trouble with this. I know what it is like to face the edge of a deadline. I'll survive, I always did. :-D I have to thank this list for the help and support. -- Cecil Westerhof ___ 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://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

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. I agree. But that is accepted practice. I find that most times it is more important to generate something fast and then have to use a lot of time to get things changed or right, then to setup things correctly (which takes time) and in the future can change things faster, more efficient en more consistent. In a way I am even afraid that the better pleasing document I generated could be pearls to the swines. Also with TeXworks it's already pretty WYSIWYG, imho. Change the code, hit run, and see the result :) Something to look into then. 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.

[NTG-context] Edit a ConTeXt generated document with Adobe Acrobat Professional
Two days ago I already posted about this. But because of a glitch at my side, it became a conversation between me and Hans Hagen. I have almost finished writing documentation with ConTeXt. Now the client also needs to have the possibility to change the document. We are so far that the client will work with Adobe Acrobat. Now I have to prove that they can edit it. My boss has a 'recent' version 8 (latest is X). It does not look very promising to edit a document, but that is at this moment not the biggest problem. When I try to change text, I get: All or part of the selection has no available system font. You cannot add or delete text using the currently selected font. I have added a screenshot of the font properties. Is this a problem because of the old Adobe version, or the used fonts? If the latter, which fonts should I use to circumvent this problem? At the moment I am using: \usetypescript[helvetica] \setupbodyfont[helvetica] because they did not like the default font. -- Cecil Westerhof attachment: properties.png___ 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://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

If the latter, which fonts should I use to circumvent this problem? At the moment I am using: \usetypescript[helvetica] \setupbodyfont[helvetica] because they did not like the default font. It's simple: the host where the adobe pro is run has not the fonts. So the host must install these fonts --- they have a permissive license and they come with the minimals too. This will be true whatever version of Acrobat Pro you will use, even X. I did not think it had to do with 8, but it is never wrong to ask. Maybe a dump question, but how do I install the fonts? Or how do I determine a font that is installed with ConTeXt and Adobe? They have about 700 fonts.

From Adobe's point of view the page number is just a string that has
nothing to do with the page number itself. And so is the index. Adobe
has no information at all that the thing on the first page is an index
and thus won't update it.
Then I have a problem. :-{
You also cannot expect from Adobe to support editing equations.
I agree.
You would need to convince your clients to use something similar to
LyX (and convince TeX developers to write a better LyX) in order to do
that.
That is not going to work I am afraid. Besides that uses TeX/LaTeX and my
document is ConTeXt.
Is there a possibility to export to a format that is editable? HTML is
possible of-course, but is there a better possibility?

As Mojca mentioned, PDF does not account for this kind of thing. I mentioned those tools as a basis for constructing an entire document from scratch. They have automatic page referencing similar to Context, but not in a post-hoc fashion. If they are only copy editing, I think you would be best served by exporting to xhtml. I generally write all my documents in Markdown and convert using Pandoc, so I'm not familiar with Context's xhtml capacities. If they are doing layout.. Ouch. I typesetted my document yes. The client has to receive a deliverable this weekend, so my stress hormones will be high the coming days. I have to count my options and select the best. (Or least bad.) Everyone thanks.

I have to count my options and select the best. (Or least bad.) If there are tiny corrections to do they can just as well edit the sources themselves (or send you corrections). That was as how I expected it to going to work. But (now) they want to be completely independent. 'Everybody' should have the possibility to edit the document. In hindsight it was properly the wrong decision to work with ConTeXt. The quality of the document is high, but because of the shift in requirements there is now a problem. Well, I like a challenge. Now I got one. :-) Maybe I should dedicate a page to this problem.

[NTG-context] Editable PDF-document
I am creating a PDF document with ConTeXt. This document should also be editable by the client itself. Two persons in the company I am working for tried to add annotations for me. One was using Infix. When trying to edit the document, he auto magically was transferred to a place in the document 30 or 40 pages further. Someone else worked with NitroPDF. He managed (as far as I know without problems) to give 38 annotations, but the size of the document increased from 5.4 MB to 102 MB. This looks not workable. Is there a way I can change the generated PDF so that the client will be able to edit the PDF when he gets it, or could I better generate HTML? -- Cecil Westerhof ___ 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://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

I (and I suppose others) don't understand your question.
Does not \chapter work ?
Sorry, communication is not my strong point. :-{
What I mean. I have something like:
\chapter{General description}
.
.
This is explained in chapters 7 to 12.
.
.
\chapter{another}
.
.
\chapter{first explaining} % this is (now) chapter 7
.
.
\chapter{last explaining} % this is (now) chapter 12
When chapters are added, moved or removed. The chapter numbers in the above
sentence have to be changed manually. As a real programmer I am lazy and
want the computer do it for me. :-D

[NTG-context] Changing the colors of a button
I am trying the following:
\button[backgroundcolor=darkgray,framecolor=black,framecorner=round]{Go
Back}[PreviousJump]
The parameter framecolor works (I tried it with green). Framecorner works
also, but backgroundcolor not. How can I change the background and text
color of the button?
Also would it not be better when clicking on this button, the highlighting
also works with rounded corners?

One slight problem. The backgroundcolor is a rectangle en goes out of the

Now added. But did not solve my problem. What I mend is that when I click on the button, the inversion is done for the rectangle. So the button is displayed correctly with rounded corners, but when clicking on the button, the inversion goes out of the button because the complete rectangle is inverted. I would like to have the part outside of the rounded button not inverted. -- Cecil Westerhof ___ 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://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
