Thanks Hans, It's good to know the --result problem is not a bug, but
a feature. My problem then arises from my use of \note as opposed to
\footnote. In processing a ref tag in the xml, I need to test if the
current ref node has an ancestor div with attribute:
@xml:id='apr_engl'. If it does, I need to create a \footnote whose
text comes from a note element with attribute xml:id='N020-18', if
it does not, I need to create a \note whose reference number
corresponds to the one created by \footnote and thus points to the
same footnote contents:
div xml:id='apr_arab'
...
ref target=#N020-18referenced text/ref
...
/div
div xml:id='apr_engl'
...
ref target=#N020-18referenced text/ref
...
/div
...
note xml:id='N020-18'footnote contents/note
To result in:
arabic text (1)
english text (1)
(1) footnote content
Currently I'm getting:
arabic text ??
english text (1)
(1) footnote content
Document order problem maybe?
thanks,
Jon

Re: [NTG-context] xml attribute conditional
Hans et alia,
Thanks for helping out with the right xpath expression. That was
indeed the problem: div elements in the ancestor axis that had no
xml:id attribute. Unfortunately, this doesn't solve my root problem.
I have a tei/xml marked up text with English and Arabic sections. For
each ref tag in the english section I want to place a \footnote. For
the corresponding ref in the Arabic section I want to place a \note
pointing to the same footnote as the corresponding English ref. The
minimal example appended below accomplishes this, but when I try to
apply this solution to my full text, this solution fails: I get ?? in
place of the references in the arabic, lua stats reports:
mkiv lua stats cross referencing - 56 identified, 56 unknown
and I get repeated errors of the following sort:
xml lpath 1 : ex :
@xml:id==string.sub('#N020-18', 2) -
(ll.at and ll.at['xml:id'])==string.sub('#N020-18', 2) ! Missing
number, treated as zero.
which is where, I presume, the ?? references are coming from
minimal example follows (\environment ara-sty not included)
Any insights you may have would be gratefully received.
Jon
(PS I suspect that the multiple errors associated with this problem
are what's causing --result renaming to fail)

[NTG-context] xml attribute conditional
All,
I have a conditional expression that checks to see if the current node
has any ancestor whose xml:id attribute matches a string
\xmldoifelse{#1}{ancestor::div[@xml:id='apr_engl']}
What I need is a test to see if the current node has any ancestor
whose xml:id attribute _contains_ a substring. Something like this:
\xmldoifelse{#1}{ancestor::div[ @xml:id contains('_engl')]}
trying this:
\xmldoifelse{#1}{ancestor::div[ contains(@xml:id, '_engl')]}
got me this error:
! LuaTeX error local expr = xml.expressions...:3: bad argument
#1 to 'contains' (string expected, got nil)
any suggestions?

I'm newly running: mtx-context | main context file: /Users/jjc/context11-11/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/context.mkiv mtx-context | current version: 2011.11.14 16:17 with a short test file I run: context --environment=arabtestI.tex --result=tmp arab-testII.xml and the log concludes thus: mtx-context | main context file: /Users/jjc/context11-11/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/context.mkiv mtx-context | current version: 2011.11.14 16:17 but when I try to do the same thing on my full marked up text: context --environment=svo-tei.tex --result=tmp svoboda_diary.xml the log concludes like this: mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 1 I didn't notice this until I tried to use the --result flag because, in spite of the 'fatal error', a new pdf (that actually reflected changes I had made in the environment file) was in fact created using the name of the xml input: svoboda_diary.pdf. But when I used --result, a new pdf was created for the short file but not for the long one. Wondering why, I inspected the log and only then noticed: mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 1 In the error case the lua stats in the log shows: mkiv lua stats result saved in file - tmp.pdf but no tmp.pdf file is produced. Instead, svoboda_diary.pdf is updated; weird huh? In the discussion on the list Steffan said Taco found the bug (thanks!): There is a fix luatex rev. 4093.

[NTG-context] marginal material in Arabic, tei/xml context mkiv
All,
Pardon for trying to boost the topic, but I still can't seem to gain
control over marginal material in an Arabic section using the new
typo-mar.mkiv. I confess, it's quite likely that I'm just not getting
something obvious.
I've rotated the page to landscape to show where the marginal material
winds up when margin is [right]. When it's [left], it overwrites the
beginning of the Arabic line
If anyone has thoughts on this, I'd be grateful.

[NTG-context] line numbers in margin from xml in context mkiv
Hans, et alia,
Thanks for mentioning typo-mar.mkiv. Once I found it, and figured out
what to do with it (put it in my texmf-local directory), it appears
to, as you say, offer more control over margindata. My (rather
belated) thanks for offering this extended functionality, though my
grasp of context is still too fragile to really understand how to use
it.
typo-mar.mkiv appears to introduce a bug in my Arabic typesetting. In
my bilingual text, my margin data (pg/lb numbers) are placed correctly
in the margin of the English text, but the margins of the Arabic text
appear to be miscalculated and the margindata overwrites the
beginnings of the lines (or disappears beyond the edge if I set margin
'left'). My tyronic fooling around may certainly be at fault, but if
you could offer any observations on the following, I'd be grateful.

something that worked now no longer does. I updated the minimals on my
Mac and context is running as I would expect:

TEI/xml file context complains:

My own fragile understanding of what I'm doing may well be at fault,
but perhaps something relevant has changed with the minimals?
I had an environment file that I'd arrived at by much trial and error
that renders page/line numbers encoded in the xml/TEI source in the
margins of my pdf output:

\xmlflush{#1}

Something elementary, I'm sure, that I'm not understanding. I'm trying
to achieve parallel footnotes in arab/english texts, ie. each footnote
in the Arabic text has a corresponding footnote in the English text.
Both should point to the same footnote text. Like this:
body
text
div type='arText'
lb / some arab ref target=#N01text/ref
lb / more arab ref target=#N02text/ref
/div
div type='enText'
lb / some english ref target=#N01text/ref
lb / more english ref target=#N02text/ref
/div
div type='fnotes'
note xml:id=N01text for note ONE/note
note xml:id=N02text for note TWO/note
/div
/text
/body
I thought to use TeX's \note[ref], but the following doesn't seem to work.
\startxmlsetups xml:ref
\define\thisRefName{\xmlatt{#1}{target}}
\xmldoifelse{#1}{parent::d...@type='arText']}
{\footnote[\thisRefName]{\xmlfirst{#1}{root::/body/text/d...@type='fnotes']/no...@xml:id==string.sub('\xmlatt{#1}{target}',2)]}}}
{\note[\thisRefName]}
\xmlflush{#1}
\stopxmlsetups
\startxmlsetups xml:div:fnotes
\placefootnotes
\stopxmlsetups
I just get ?? for the reference markers in the English text. Any clues
as to what I'm doing wrong; or, is there a better way altogether to
approach this?

Re: [NTG-context] Marginal line numbers
Thomas, et alia.
Thanks so very much! I now have this:
\startluacode
function filter(s)
if math.mod(s,5) == 0 then
context.color( { darkred }, s )
end
end
\stopluacode
\define[1]\MyNumber%
{\ctxlua{filter(#1)}\endgraf}
\startxmlsetups xml:lb
\lineNumbers{\MyNumber{\xmlatt{#1}{n}}}
\xmlflush{#1}
\stopxmlsetups
\defineinmargin [lineNumbers] [outer] [normal]
This gets me what I wanted. Still fumbling greatly with the macro
syntax. I'm not sure what the recursion is for, for example. On the
other hand the lua seems rather straightforward to me by comparison. I
tried returning an empty string like this: context.color( {blue}, ''
) to remove the other numbers, but that seemed silly, so I just
removed the 'else' clause instead, and that seemed to work as well.
In python-speak I'd interpret context.color() as a method call on a
module 'context'. Could you, or anyone, direct me to any documentation
for this module and a list of the properties and methods that it
supports?

[NTG-context] Marginal line numbers
All,
Thanks to Thomas's help, I've been making my way up the learning curve.
My TEI xml has empty lb elements indicating lines in the original and
corresponding lb elements in the translation. I'd like to be able to
set these numbers in the margin so that readers may coordinate the
lineation. So far I have this:
\startxmlsetups xml:lb
\lineNumbers{\xmlatt{#1}{n}}
\xmlflush{#1}
\stopxmlsetups
\defineinmargin [lineNumbers] [outer] [normal]
which works, but I'd like to be able to set only every fifth or tenth
line number. Is there a way to perform some arithmetic on the value of
the n attribute and then execute \lineNumbers accordingly?
for example:
if n%5 == 0 then \lineNumbers else ignore lb
Thanks,
Jon

processing an attribute with the 'xml:' namespace has been fixed by Hans
very recently (last weekend), so if you haven't updated to the latest beta
version, please do and try again; your syntax
\xmlsetsetup{#1}{d...@xml:id='a']} is basically right.
I've done as you suggest and downloaded the minimals beta leaving the
TeX-live distribution behind, so I can be on the same page with you
all. Hans's fix has worked. I'm gratified that my intuition about how
@xml:id should work was not wrong. The example in my last message now
works as expected.
Addressing content that has been set in xml anchors is possible, but not
quite easy. I wouldn't have been able to figure it out without Hans. Just to
show you an example: here's code that in my TEI document will fetch the
content of a witness list:
\xmlfirst{#1}{root::/TEI/text/front/d...@type=='sigla']/listWit/witne...@xml:id==string.sub('\xmlatt{#1}{wit}',2)]}
This looks sensible to me. I'll see if I can't make it work with my
document next week. Thanks ever so much. Is that string substitution
function a bit of Lua?
Last point: I don't want to sound negative, but what you're attempting is
not straightforward and certainly not easy stuff. I am currently planning on
doing a long-term project on editing texts in this manner, and I'm quite
optimistic that all problems can eventually be solved. But if you need
short-term solutions, a perfectly typeset edition within a matter of weeks,
this may not be possible right away. E.g., I don't think we really have a
solid framework yet for a bilingual edition as you envisage it. It is
possible, but not easy, Hans needs the time and many test cases to make the
code work. There is a research group here in Germany (with public funding)
who are currently working on xml printing of material of exactly this type.
I can assure you that for the time being, there's nothing out there which
comes even close to ConTeXt in this area, but we're still at the beginning.
So: if you want to help and test and be part of this, you are more than
welcome, but none of us has a magic bullet; this is work in progress, not
drop-in solutions.
Thomas, I do not take it in a negative way; simply practical. I take
seriously both the principle and practice of open-source endeavors
like ConTeXt, and the scholarly work it can support. I hope and intend
that as I get up to speed, I'll be able to make some small
contribution, even if it's only posting the commented example of our
project on the wiki. I've done some programming in Python, and am
rather keen to learn something about Lua, as they have quite a bit in
common. It's unlikely I'll be able to make substantive contributions
to the code, but not impossible in the fullness of time. I'm mindful
of the generosity of all involved, and all on this list, and offer
great thanks and kudos.
Your cautionary note on the bilingual edition is taken to heart, and I
have recommended that for the time being our project will not try to
implement a facing page translation. This remains an important
desideratum for us however, and I will attend with great interest your
progress, and the insights of any engaged in similar efforts. The
specific use-case we have in mind, and the problems associated with it
may be of interest to others and I'll post it on the wiki.

Re: [NTG-context] TEI - conTeXt
Thomas,
Thanks for responding. Yes, thanks to some help from Idris, Khaled, et
alia, I've got an ara-sty.tex environment file that sets up the
Scheherezade font and am getting very nice looking arabic text. I'm
now trying to get my arms around some basic elements of the conTeXt
system for dealing with xml.
Thanks to your TEI tutorial, I've got some good results for flushing
elements identified by tag name and by named attribute like this:
\xmlsetsetup{#1}{he...@type='chapter']}{xml:head:chapter}
\xmlsetsetup{#1}{p}{xml:p}
and the like. I'm now trying to figure out how to address elements in
the tei more precisely, like how to address the content nodes in the
div xml:id=notes, like note xml:id=N012-10, in order to use
their contents while setting elements like ref target=#N012-10
with a \footnote command (though we may, in fact, need to put these
elsewhere in an 'endnotes' section.).
I've sought in vain for the answers to simple questions like how to
address nodes identified by xml:id. In setting up a minimal example,
I've tried to do this:
with the xml:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
body
text
div xml:id=a
foo
/div
div xml:id=b
bar
/div
/text
/body
set foo and not bar. This, for example, does not work:
\startxmlsetups xml:minimalsetups
\xmlsetsetup{#1}{*}{-}
\xmlsetsetup{#1}{body|text|div}{xml:*}
\xmlsetsetup{#1}{d...@xml:id='a']}{xml:div}
\stopxmlsetups
context complaining that xml:id='a' is not a valid lpath expression.
As you can see, I'm not getting some basic things about how to specify
and traverse the xml, much less applying the correct context commands
to get the content and formatting I need.
Another thing I'm going to need to do is to parse the text of certain
element attributes. For example, divs to be set in arabic are
distinguished from divs to be set in latin only by their xml:lang
attributes. I will need to be able to distinguish between ar-Arab,
en-Latn, and possibly also ar-Latn and more complex subtags like
az-Arab-IR as specified in
http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/bcp/bcp47.txt
Any clues you might care to offer, or examples that you know of, would
be gratefully received. I hesitate to attach the xml and tex files I'm
working with here, being unfamiliar with the protocols of the list,
but if it would help to see what I'm trying to work with, I could
certainly do that. More than this, I will certainly post on the wiki
some documentation and examples from this current project once I have
something to contribute that works. I'd like to extend your tutorial
for others who have TEI texts that they would like to typeset; indeed,
making public such documentation in their appropriate fora is part of
the remit of our project.
All at sea in Seattle,
Jon

Re: [NTG-context] seeking 'hello world' example for Arabic typesetting with conTeXt
Idris, Khaled, et alia,
Many, many thanks! Failing to find SimpleNaskhi.ttf anywhere, I
downloaded ScheherazadeRegOT.ttf from SIL. I have the font in the same
directory as my tei file apr.xml; along with my ara-sty.tex file
suitably edited with the font name for the \definefontsynonym
commands; and the environment file svo-tei.tex, in which I assert at
the top: \environment ara-sty, and call in a \startxmlsetups command
thus:
\startxmlsetups xml:div:month
\blank[line]\midaligned{\xmlatt{#1}{n}}\blank[medium]
\setarabic
\stopxmlsetups
Now, when I invoke context at the command-line:
context --environment=svo-tei.tex apr.xml
I'm finally seeing some Arabic text, and it's beautiful! It's a great
pity I don't actually read Arabic ;-(
It remains now to define my xmlsetups in such a way as to be able to
distinguish between the Arabic and Roman sections; my tei file is a
bit idiosyncratic, and I've much to do still in grasping the necessary
lpath expressions, but at last I'm making some progress! My heartfelt
thanks and profound admiration for all that you and your colleagues
have accomplished. I hope you'll not mind further simple-minded
questions down the road as I progress with this project.

[NTG-context] seeking 'hello world' example for Arabic typesetting with conTeXt
Dear all, I'm gradually getting my head around using ConTeXt to typeset texts marked up in TEI/XML. I'm trying to typeset an English/Arabic text and I keep breaking my teeth on the Arabic. I'm trying to do what I can with the macTeX 2010 distribution, but the documentation on the conTeXt wiki has me confused. The amount I don't know about TeX is truly daunting, but clearly there are some basic things about font management that I don't understand. I thought I had found a minimal example in http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Arabic_and_Hebrew that I could use as a starting point. After saving it locally as ara-sty.tex I tried to typeset: % engine=luatex \environment ara-sty \starttext \setarabic أهلا بالعالم! \stoptext a PDF was produced but it contained no text save for !. Among the things that conTeXt told me was: !define font: font with name arabtype is not found !define font: unknown font arabtype, loading aborted !define font: unable to define arabtype as \*Arabic20ptrmtf* Where should I look for this font? Where is conTeXt looking for it? If I were to find it, where should I put it? I gather that fonts on my system can be used, but font metric files for them have to be generated. How to do that? Apologies for the unfocused tyro questions, but the TeX world has become so much larger than it was when I last used it that I feel quite at sea with all the available documentation. thanks, Jon ___ 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 ___

Can anyone point me to a 'hello world' example of how to typeset TEIxml in Arabic using conTeXt? My TeX skills are very out of date and were never much to begin with, and I'm having a devil of a time getting my head around the welter of available documentation. I haven't even yet worked out how to point context at suitable fonts, or how to invoke them in the --environment .tex file. [I'm using the MacTeX-2010 Distribution on OSX 10.5.8.
