[NTG-context] Referencing formulas doesn't work?

[Jon Wong]

MWE:

\starttext

The famous result (and again) is given by
\placeformula[formulalabel]
\startformula
c^2 = a^2 + b^2.
\stopformula
And now we can refer to formula \ref[][formulalabel].

\stoptext

There is a blank where the formula label should be at “now we can refer to 
formula ---“.

Jon

Re: [NTG-context] Entity to receive donations?

[Jon Wong]

Thanks! So if I wanna write a book about ConTeXt, and want to give half of book 
sales proceeds to ConTeXt group, the official beneficiary I should list is 
“ConTeXt Group”?

Re: [NTG-context] startnarrower and framed?

[Jon Wong]

Hi all,

I’m so so sorry for yet another message in this thread. I’ve solved it, but 
still don’t quite understand why it works. I post the solution here so that 
nobody has to spend any time crafting the solution. But I still have 1 key 
question.

Key question: Why does \setwhitespace[line] prevent \blank[-0.5em] from working 
after a \framed?

(Ok. I better sleep before I pollute the mailing list further.)

Apparent Solution:

\usecolors[xwi]
\setupwhitespace[line]

\starttext
\definetextbackground[secondary][
  location=always,
  background=color,
  backgroundcolor=lightgray,
  leftoffset=.5\bodyfontsize,
  rightoffset=.5\bodyfontsize,
  topoffset=.5\bodyfontsize,
  bottomoffset=.5\bodyfontsize,
  frame=off,]

\input knuth

{

\blank[line]

\setupwhitespace[none]

\startnarrower
  \dontleavehmode\framed[
width=local, corner=03, background=color, backgroundcolor=cyan,
frame=off
  ]{My header!}

  \blank[-0.5em]

  \startsecondary
  {

  \setupwhitespace[line]

\input knuth

  }
  \stopsecondary
\stopnarrower

}

\input knuth
\stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] startnarrower and framed?

[Jon Wong]

Hi all,

Ok, last message in this topic, I promise. I’ve crafted a MWE.

If I \setupwhitespace[line], the \blank[-0.5em] stops working. I’m sure I need 
to revise my TeX notes. For now, can somebody give me a little encouragement 
and tell me the answer? :-P

\usecolors[xwi]
% \setupwhitespace[line]

\starttext
\definetextbackground[secondary][
  location=always,
  background=color,
  backgroundcolor=lightgray,
  leftoffset=.5\bodyfontsize,
  rightoffset=.5\bodyfontsize,
  topoffset=.5\bodyfontsize,
  bottomoffset=.5\bodyfontsize,
  frame=off,]

\input knuth

\startnarrower
  \dontleavehmode\framed[
width=local, corner=03, background=color, backgroundcolor=cyan,
frame=off
  ]{My header!}

  \blank[-0.5em]

  \startsecondary
\input knuth
  \stopsecondary
\stopnarrower

\input knuth
\stoptext

Regards
Jon

Re: [NTG-context] startnarrower and framed?

[Jon Wong]

Hi all,

Ah, found the solution in TextBackground. At here: 
https://www.contextgarden.net/TextBackground 
<https://www.contextgarden.net/TextBackground>

Can I have a 2-segment (2 vboxes) TextBackground (presumably with 2 
TextBackgrounds, zero vspace between them)?

For the top segment, I want rounded corners only for top corners (corner=03 
with \framed).

Seems I really should dig into MetaFun and TextBackground. Looks really fun and 
useful.

Sorry for the noise. Am a little carried away exploring the Garden. :-P

Regards
Jon

Re: [NTG-context] startnarrower and framed?

[Jon Wong]

Hi all,

Sorry, my solution didn’t work.

My purpose of using \startnarrower is to have some paragraphs of text inside 
the \framed. Unfortunately, it seems \framed doesn’t take paragraphs.

\startframedtext doesn’t have as many border options as \framed.

Should I use overlays? Or layers? It seems layers require absolutely 
positioning, and can’t be logically contained inside a \startnarrower?

Regards
Jon

Re: [NTG-context] startnarrower and framed?

Hi all,

I got some progress!

\setupnarrower[left=2cm, right=2cm] % what does middle do, actually?
\startnarrower
  \dontleavehmode\framed[width=local]{testing}

  Since this works for left offset: \framed[width=local]{testing}
\endnarrower

So, how do I do a gradient background? Yeah, I know I have to dive into 
MetaPost and MetaFun some time. Is that where the solution is?

[NTG-context] startnarrower and framed?

[Jon Wong]

Hi all,

I want to have a \startnarrower effect. But I also want that segment to have a 
border (hopefully a gradient background color too!).

I tried:

\startnarrower
  \framed{testing}

  Seems framed doesn’t observe startnarrower commands.
\endnarrower

How do I achieve that?

[NTG-context] texexec is deprecated?

[Jon Wong]

Hi all,

I did a quick standalone install of Mark IV:

```shell
mkdir ~/context
cd ~/context
wget http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/first-setup.sh
sh first-setup.sh --modules=all --context=current --engine=luatex’)
```

Set the correct paths and env in `~/.bashrc':

```shell
# Add ConTeXt
platform=osx-64
PATH=~/context/bin:~/context/tex/texmf-$platform/bin:$PATH
source ~/context/tex/setuptex

export PATH
```

(By the way, the latest lmtx installer is missing the `setuptex' file.)

I was able to use `context’ but not `texexec’. The latter (`texexec —pdf 
test.tex’) tells me that some format file (`cont-en.fmt’) can’t be found.

Is `texexec’ obsolete?

The 2013 ConTeXt manual still uses it, though.

Regards
Jon

Re: [NTG-context] Convert SVG to MetaPost

[Jon Wong]

Hi Taco!

Very enlightening!

I’ll just use both MetaPost and SVG for their intended purposes. (SVG will come 
from workflow involving GIMP/Inkscape; MetaPost for logical, rather than 
graphical, figures.)

[NTG-context] Convert SVG to MetaPost

[Jon Wong]

Hi all,

Is it possible to convert SVG to MetaPost?

Currently, I have Bash scripts in my workflow to invoke Inkscape (converting 
SVG to PDF). I don’t like to allow shell access to TeX.

If I can convert SVG to MetaPost, I will gladly Git-track MetaPost files 
instead of SVG files. That will do away with having to convert SVG into PDF 
(via Inkscape).

Jon
