Re: [NTG-context] extended ascii characters
Hi all! I would like to know how I may use extended ascii characters in context, for example character number 167. I'm sure Hans has made a lot of extensions for ,,strange'' character support. But also plain TeX offers \char167 instruction, which returns character 167 according to given font encoding. Is that what You looking for?

code?
\starttext
\usesubpath[lofo1]
\processXMLfilegrouped{aqq.xml}
\usesubpath[reset]
try: \usepath[reset]
I did so. I've noticed that 'reset' option works for \usepath only but I
still get the solution. Please consider the following example (attached). We
have './lofo1' and './lofo2' directories, each contains 'x.xml' file (the
same filename but different content). ConTeXt code is as following:
\starttext
\usepath[lofo1]
\processXMLfilegrouped{x.xml}
\usepath[reset]
\usepath[lofo2]
\processXMLfilegrouped{x.xml}
\stoptext
In this case 'reset' option works probably OK, since \allinputpaths variable
IS redefined to \empty (lines 99 to 104 of core-job.tex). So I expect that
the first processed XML file should be './lofo1/x.xml' and the second --
'./lofo2/x.xml'. But './lofo1/x.xml' file is processed twice instead. What
construction should I use to process two or more XML files, which have the
same name but different localization? I'm aware that my problem is not
common but...

[NTG-context] reset \use[sub]path
Hi all!
Lets consider the following situation. There are 3 catalogs; ./lofo1,
./lofo2, ./lofo3, each of them contains files 'aqq.xml' and 'cow.png' for
example. Filenames are the same, but they may have different content. I need
to include all these files into one PDF document WITHOUT giving absolute
paths in TeX code. I tried something like
\usepath[lofo1]
\processXMLfilegrouped{aqq.xml}
\usepath[lofo2]
\processXMLfilegrouped{aqq.xml}
\usepath[lofo3]
\processXMLfilegrouped{aqq.xml}
but in this example the same file (./lofo1/aqq.xml) will be processed 3
times and that is not what I need. Actually the situation is even more
complicated; I have quite big XML tree with hunderts of files and images,
with dozens of catalogs. I wrote a perl script which change current
directory for each process and run texexec in changed one. And it works OK
since I want to have separate PDF document from each `lofo?' catalog. But
how to make one PDF document in such situation using \use[sub]path texnique?
In other words, how to reset settings from \usepath and \usesubpath
commands? And how to do the same for externalfigures?

lofo1,lofo1/reset,lofo1/lofo2,lofo1/reset/lofo2,lofo1/reset/reset,lofo1/lofo

When I use format generated during first context installation, everything works fine, means that context use plr by default. However this quite old format contains only pl-hyphenation patterns. For a couple of weeks I had been trying hard to generate format with additional hyphenation patterns AND plr as default font. But each attempt gave me a format which use cmr by default. Of course when I included i.e plr10 definition in tex code or input some pl-oriented typescript, everything was ok since I have correclty instaled and configured pl-fonts. But default was still cmr, not plr. I've just tried to generate format with additional option '--alone' (as in your quick test) and that was the solution! Generated format uses the proper default font now. Actually I didn't know that texexec uses 'fmtutil' by default while generating formats (is there any special reason for that?...).

[NTG-context] probably well known problem
Hi all! I've just finished (?) reinstalling and configuring my TeX system. It is quite small conglomerate of cont-bas, cont-tmf and my own packages. I've successfully generated all formats using fmtutil. However I have some troubles with 'cont-en'; it was successfully generated but do not work properly. I tried to do that also with texexec 'shell'. I need pl language hyphenation patterns as a default and for some cases also en and de. That's why I uncommented following lines in cont-usr.tex file: ... \installlanguage [\s!de] [\c!status=\v!start] \installlanguage [\s!en] [\c!status=\v!start] \installlanguage [\s!pl] [\c!status=\v!start] ... \setupcurrentlanguage[\s!pl] \definefilesynonym [font-cmr] [font-plr] % \useencoding[fde] % commented by me \useencoding[fpl] ... After these changes I generated format with command texexec --make --language=pl,en,de --bodyfont=plr en Log file (cont-fmt): \unprotect \installlanguage[\s!pl][\c!status=\v!start] \installlanguage[\s!en][\c!status=\v!start] \installlanguage[\s!de][\c!status=\v!start] \setupcurrentlanguage[\s!pl] \definetypescriptsynonym[cmr][plr]\definefilesynonym[font-cmr][font-plr] \protect \endinput Is it correct?

Re: [NTG-context] headers, marking and some puzzles
simple way:
\setupheadertexts[\hbox to
\hsize{\getmarking[chapter]\hrulefill\pagenumber}]
Of course simple way works ok. Below I described why \getmarking may couse
suprises.
clever way:
\startsetups[left header]
\hbox to \hsize \bgroup
\getmarking[chapter]
\quad \hrulefill \quad
\pagenumber
\egroup
\stopsetups
\startsetups[right header]
\hbox to \hsize \bgroup
\pagenumber
\quad \hrulefill \quad
\getmarking[chapter]
\egroup
\stopsetups
\setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided]
\setupheadertexts []
\setupheadertexts [\setups{left header}] [] [] [\setups{right header}]
...
Suprisingly clever way has no results -- headers are just EMPTYon every page
/ every chapter. The same with prettier way (with \doiftext clausule).
Probably there is my mistake, I will come back to it.
While studying this codes I've come across two not obvious things. Let's
look at this (silly) document
\setupheadertexts[]
\setupheadertexts[chapter][section]
\starttext
\chapter{Chapter One}
Short introduction of \getmarking[chapter]
\section{Section in first chapter}
Body of \getmarking[section]
\chapter{Chapter Two}
\dorecurse{50}{Quite long introduction of \getmarking[chapter], which needs
at least one page. }
\section{Section in second one}
Body of {\bf\getmarking[section]}
\stoptext
The first is that \getmarking[whatever] used in bodytex and in header expand
to something different.
I can imagine that user has \in, \at, \about etc. instead, so that is not a
real problem. It puzzles me, however!
Another thing is that the header of the second page (begining of the SECOND
chapter) of this document contains a section mark
of the FIRST, already ended chapter. The same problem appear with plain
\mark primitive which is global. That is why I had to use additional
commands to reset marks. Is there any reasons for that that new part of
document (chapter, section) desn't reset marks of lower level parts?
... I've just noticed that the ConTeXt I use is a bit archaic. I will try to
do some upgrade and come back to the problem with fresh soft and mind.

Re: [NTG-context] Footnotes
Hi Pawel,
Hi Willi!
After all the solution is simpel ...
[...]
This command will force the bodyfont and the footnotes font to be the
same.
If e.g. Myfont is setup as a typeface of Palatino for rm and Helvetica for
ss, then the footnotes will be in Palatino when saying
\setupfootnotes[bodyfont={small, rm}] and will be typeset in Helvetica
when
saying \setupfootnotes[bodyfont={small, ss}]
Isn't that logical?
But look carrefully on the footnote numbers. Are they also from wanted font?
That was my problem.
It is not obvious that footnote reference numbers are set with xx size of
the bodyfontsize and footnote number with x size of
bodyfontsize used in footnote. So the way to set this numbers is to set
bodyfontenvironment for both bodyfintsize and 'footnotebodyfontsize'. The
puzzle is also that
one has no problems since bodyfontsize is default (i.e 12pt). So try to
change bodfontsize to i.e.13pt and than look at footnote numbers. If they
are correct you are the winner!
Thanks for report, Pawe/l

Re: [NTG-context] How to set paths -- wider view
Hi! another option is to use: \usepath[list of paths] \usesubpath[list of subpaths] Thanks again! It works almost like --path option -- files included with \processXMLfile ARE included, but files included by \input (or \typefile) ARE NOT. Anyway I've solved the problem already. I described it below in case somebody have the same pain. I have to make a package for automatic conversion XML2PDF. I decide to use ConTeXt for it (neither XSLT nor xmltex, ..., are so suitable) and that is how our love began! The problem is that the package should be independent from kpathsea as far as possible. I mean searching paths for macros, fonts, encodings, ..., must be configurable internaly, without touching texmf.cnf and any other config files. There are three reasons: one is that my boss is unfortunately not interested in learnig/configuring/using TeX at all, second is that it must be portable and work with any(?) kpathsea installation with ConTeXt. The last but not least is that there isn't still miniTeX (really mini!) kpathsea distribution which may be very usefull in such situation... Of course it's possible to make this by cruel substraction of existing distributoion but... Anyway I wrote some perl-scripts, which solve kpathsea-like syntax in independent config file (which is nice training:-). Variables (i.e TEXINPUTS) defined in this small, external config and are either temporarly exported to (nested) environment or rewriten to generated context code (into \setupexternalfigures[directory=...], \usepath[...] and so on). Script traverse a tree of XML documents and generate context-codes which are compiled directly to PDF. It is still experimental and not best solution, but works ok. Meybe somebody have made this voyage already? Regards, Pawe/l ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
Re: [NTG-context] How to set paths
Hello! you can set the directory (gebied in dutch) with: \setupsystem or pass --path to texexec Thanks a lot Hans! Although I can't still use \setupsystem properly (even with looking at core-code tricks), --path option seems to be the solution. I've solve processing XML files in this way. Typing (\typefile) and inputing (\input) files are still the quest. --path seems not to work with this commands or I do something wrong. I'll look closely into it.

Hi!
However, when I use

I get an error.
[...]
If I am using \setupfootnotes[bodyfont=5pt,offset=-1cm] then I get the
footnote typeset in 5pt but still cmr and the error in the log-file is
still
Try
\definefontsynonym[myFont][your_font]
\definebodyfont[10pt,9pt,8pt,7pt][ss]
[tf=myFont sa 1]
\setupbodyfontenvironment
[10pt]
[xx=9pt] % footnote reference number

[x=7pt] % footnote number

\setupbodyfont[10pt,ss]
\setupfootnotes[bodyfont=8pt]
There is somt text\footnote{and there is a footnote}

Doesn't it work?

[NTG-context] How to set paths
Hello! In some special cases I need to set paths for input files directly from ConTeXt code not from config file. In manuals \setupexternalfigures is described. Is there any similar command for files that are inputed directly by \input, \typefile \processXMLfile (the last is the most interesting for me) and similar commands?

Re: [NTG-context] Footnotes
Hi Willi Thanks for your suggestions. In my case this does not seem to be the solution. I fiddled with the different options.

Re: [NTG-context] Footnotes
Hi everybody, I have to typset several footnotes. I setup a bodyfont (sanserif, Helvetica like). Why are the footnotes typset in cmr? I'm not sure but I've just solved similar problem. Footnotes have their 'own' bodyfontsize so if it isn't defined, ConTeXt uses default font. For example I defined \definebodyfont [13pt,12pt], while footnotes are 'small' by default, which means that they are 10pt. Footnotes were in cmr10 because I didn't defined 10pt body font. Is that your problem? Pawe/l ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
[NTG-context] fonts and footnotes
Hi! I have a problem with font of footnote-numbers. I will try to describe some details because they can be important. I've defined some sans-serif font with my own styles and sizes: \definefontsynonym[tfMyFont][file_name1] \definefontsynonym[bfMyFont][file_name2] % I don't need neither italics- nor math-style \definebodyfont[13pt,12pt,...,9pt][ss] [tfs=tfMyFont sa 0.75, % let's test alternative for tfxx tf=tfMyFont sa 1, bfs=bfMyFont sa 0.75, bf=bfMyFont sa 1, ] \setupbodyfont[13pt,ss] Then I set styles for heads (chapters, sections etc.). The same for headers and footers. These setups work OK. I have a problem with footnotes though. I tried \setupfootnotes[style=\tfs]; it doesn't work (why?) -- footnotes are set with some ConTeXt-default ss font -- cmss10 -- which is not my beautiful sansserif:-). I also tried setup \setupfootnotes[bodyfont=10pt]; it works good since ten-point font is defined in \definebodyfont.. BUT numbers of footnotes still 'use' default sansserif font. So I tried something like; \setupfootnotes[...,numbercommand=\MyCommand], where \MyCommand set appropriate fontstyle and raise the number as a ^superscript (quite sophisticated way...). Anyway I have still no idea how to setup correct font and style for footnote-numbers. 1. How to setup font-style and -size for footnotes text without giving dimension directly? I mean why I have to set \setupfootnotes[bodyfont=10pt] and I can't set \setupfootnotes[style=\tfxx]? 2. How to setup font-style and -size for BOTH footnote reference (in text) and footnote number (in the bottom of the text area)?

Re: [NTG-context] Re: XML ConTeXt -- handling many conventions
Hi! Hello Pawe³ (I, hope your name comes out OK)[...] Actually no, but don't worry. I'm aware that polish 'lslash' may not be displayed properly. But using polish characters is the only way to protect them from extinction. I will think about some compromise. The element chapter title=First Chapter is wrong. By burying your title in an attribute you're making it neither easily searchable nor useble by other applications. That is what I said to my boss. The problem is that J have to build something more or less universal because I don't known who will prepare XML documents and which convention will be used. The general rule of thumb for when to use attributes and when to use elements is: use elements for presentable data and attributes for system data. In this case where you're presenting the title First Chapter to the context-processor to be marked up as a chapter title, it is definitely presentable data, and therefore it belongs in an element. Thanks, I will remember. It looks convincing. Regards, Pawe/l ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
Re: [NTG-context] ConTeXt, XML and verbatim
Hi! On Wed, Sep 03, 2003 at 09:49:40PM +0200, Simon Pepping wrote: Meybe someone knowns how to 'translate' verbatim environments for XML code? I mean how to define environment which I can use in this way [..] There are no verbatim environments in XML, and you cannot get literal content. Instead, you can have tags, like your verbatim above, that request line-oriented layout. programlisting is such a tag in Docbook. That's correct with respect to elements--since XML deliberately avoids defining semantics for any element. But you seem to be overlooking CDATA sections, which are more-or-less verbatim environments. The XML spec doesn't directly address the question of formatting in CDATA sections, but all characters are supposed to be output literally, and AFAIK that includes white space--hence all formatting should be preserved. But I don't know if ConTeXt can handle CDATA sections. Can it? Good question! As far as I'm concerned (but I'm not concerned far...) ConTeXt can handle some 'metadata' like !ENTITY But I don't know exaclty which levels of XML syntax is handled with ConTeXt core.
