[NTG-context] transparent colors in latest beta
Hi Hans,
the bad news is that transparent colors don't work at all in the latest
beta with mkiv (they worked on and off with the beta before that). The
good
news is that this makes it easier to build a minimal example :-) Here
comes:
\setupcolors[state=start]

\startuseMPgraphic{test}
pair a, b, c, d ;
a = (0,0) ; b = (0,5cm) ; c = (5cm,5cm) ; d = (5cm,0) ;
path p ; p = a -- b -- c -- d -- cycle ;
draw a -- c withcolor black ;
fill p withcolor transparent (1,0.25,red) ;

where XXX is the language code for Russian (ru, I assume?) or
Ukrainian (uk?), and YYY is a Russian/Ukrainian word long enough to
allow hyphenation. The output should show you the word with the proper
hyphenation (whereas here, there is no hyphenation in the Greek word.

Your script is clever, but in my experience, you can simplify the
process. I have a TeXLive install and the ConTeXt minimals on my OS X
box. In order to use them, I have two configuration files. Here's the
one for the minimals (which is named .minicontext):
PATH=/Users/tas/context/tex/texmf-osx-intel/bin:$PATH
export PATH
export TEXMFCACHE=/Users/tas/context/tex/texmf-cache
export TEXMFCNF=/Users/tas/context/tex/texmf/web2c

export LUAINPUTS={/Users/tas/context/tex/texmf-context/scripts/
context/lua,/Users/tas/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base,/
Users/tas/texmf/scripts/context/lua}
I simply run source ~/.minicontext, and my system is set up. The
syntax is for zsh; if you're running bash or (heaven forbid!) tcsh,
you may have to adapt it slightly; and of course, adapt the path
variables to your own needs.

[NTG-context] New module simpleslides
Dear list members, We're happy to announce the initial release of the simpleslides module. It has taken us somewhat longer than we anticipated, but now it's there! simpleslides is a module that facilitates the creation of presentations in ConTeXt. It provides a few macros to position titles, text, and images on slides, some typescripts to make use of LatinModern and the TeXGyre fonts, and a few pre-defined styles that should make your presentations visually appealing. We guarantee that this release is absolutely bug-free; whoever finds a bug has the inalienable right to buy us a beer at the next ConTeXt meeting! Seriously: we are aware that some things are not working as expected. Our biggest and most embarrassing problem for the time being is that the module refuses to work with XeTeX. Neither of us uses XeTeX on a regular basis, and we're not familiar with its innards, so we're at a loss here. If you can offer help, you will be most welcome! We would of course welcome feedback, bug reports, feature suggestions, etc., so download the module at http://modules.contextgarden.net/module/detail?name=simpleslides and give it a whirl!

Re: [NTG-context] Problem creating a typescript for Adobe Avenir

In the process of a major cleanup and code split I uploaded a beta.
Some important changes are:
- initialization code is ready for upcoming luatex
- language files have been cleaned up
- core-table stuff is renamed to tabl-table stuff
- several changes in file names and splits of files
- for those using helpers, in mkiv now syst-aux is the place to look
- some non used files removed
- some speedup of helper macros (only in mkiv)
On Taco and my machine test docs come out right but there might be
problems left (no tricky new things so solvable fast).

Re: [NTG-context] overarc

Currently, there is no such feature. Are you looking at the
functionality of the arcs package of latex? If so, it will be easy
to add it to ConTeXt. The main trouble is that the glyph for
\overarc is missing from the fonts. Arcs.sty takes the glyphs for
\frown and \smile, and scales them appropriately. An ugly solution,
but it looks ok if you are just placing it over one or two letters.
I had a similar wish a while ago and hacked something with a
MPpositiongraphic. It is certainly not very elegant, but IMHO better
than the LaTeX code you posted (scaling a glyph like that will look
ugly when you want to span more than just two letters). Wolfgang
Schuster supplied the neat trick with the counter. It is quite fast
when run with mkiv, but I suspect would be slow with mkii (and leave
quite a few .mp files behind). Maybe this can help:
\newcount\arcnumber

initialize_box(\MPpos{\MPvar{self}}) ;
numeric c ; c = ExHeight/6 ;
z1 = llxy ;
z2 = lrxy ;

z4 = ((x1 + 2*c), (y1 + 2*c)) ;
z5 = (x7, (y7 + 4*c)) ;
z6 = ((x2 - 2*c), (y2 + 2*c)) ;
path syn ; syn := z4 .. z5 .. z6 ;
pickup pencircle scaled (0.75*c) ;
draw syn ;

\stopMPpositiongraphic%
\define[1]\overarc

Why should it? Look at the variable TEXINPUTS in texmf.cnf. In TL2008:
TEXINPUTS.tex = .;$TEXMF/tex/{plain,generic,}//
So: the current directory + the texmf-trees. Letting it climb the

the minimal installation. The normal place for it is ~/texmf (Alan,
you should move it out of ~/Library). So what can we do? Hans, is
there any workaround for you? Most users will be as baffled as Alan
when the stuff they have installed in their personal trees isn't
found. Personally, I have set up all my stuff in a
personal .miniluatex file which I source whenever I want to run
context, but I don't know how this would work with TeXShop. IMHO, the
normal ~/texmf should be included out of the box. What do others think

It offers a lot, maybe too much for a beginner. One advantage for my immediate needs that I see is that it offers the possibility to use Python's regular expressions and control structures, so this may make coding easier to maintain and adapt that in the rather clumsy xslt syntax; it may be a big help for the rather messy OpenOffice xml that I want to process. I had already tried w2latex a while ago. I found it very limited and lacking documentation, so I haven't pursued this track. Again, thanks for getting me started!

Re: [NTG-context] question for the xml-experts
Luigi and Khaled, thanks a lot for your replies! Luigi: I had a look at python lxml; it looks very powerful and interesting, and I will try and see if can make use of it. Why do you translate your xml sources into tex instead of using the mkiv mechanism for processing xml, is it because of speed? Khaled: I have to see if I can tweak the OpenOffice docbook converter to keep more of the formatting; in its default state, it drops too much important stuff... Right now, I have followed Patrick's advice. I've installed saxon9 and am writing a xslt stylesheet to translate the openoffice xml into a cleaner and easier to handle format. I'm making progress... Maybe we should put something like this on the wiki and make it a collaborative effort - I can only write rules for stuff that occurs in my documents, and that is of course only a subset of what OpenOffice has, so it would be good to add rules as people find interesting features.

[NTG-context] question for the xml-experts
Hi all, this is not a question about direct technical details, but more of a conceptual problem, and I would love to have your input and ideas on this. I will be editing several edited volumes in my field (humanities, classics). From experience, I know that it's impossible to make scholars in the humanities adhere to standards. Each and every one of them will turn in a paper (most of them written in half a dozen different versions of Word) with its own idiosyncracies. At my last conference, I asked them to please use Unicode for their Greek passages, and I got blank looks and the question What the hell is Unicode? So: I want to extract the content of these papers and process it with ConTeXt. I thought the easiest route might be convert them to OpenOffice odt and then use the content.xml as a starting point. Since the formatting will be unusable anyways, it doesn't make sense to process the odt directly; instead, I want to transform the xml via xslt to a simplified format and then process that with ConTeXt. I have just discovered the tool xalan ( http://xml.apache.org/xalan-c/index.html ) which allows me to use an xslt style sheet and direct the output to a new file. I will then need to clean up these xml files and write a mkiv xml setup for them. So for those who know much more about this sort of workflow: does that make sense? Is there any better way to achieve these results, i.e., have the content of a couple of papers in Word and/or rtf format and typeset it in a consistent ConTeXt environment? Is there any tool better than xslt to convert the OpenOffice xml than xslt (anything in lua that can parse xml)? Anything better than xalan to convert xm - xml? I'm just beginning to plan this, so I'd be most grateful for any pointers.

I always had to double-check and edit files by hand, so I decided to go for a manual process. The --lcdf switch was added by Adam Lindsay, who also wrote a short article about otf and ConTeXt: http://www.tug.org/pracjourn/2005-2/lindsay/lindsay.pdf Too bad Adam isn't active anymore, he was a great help in ConTeXt development. If you search the mailing list archive for texfont lcdf, you will see that the problem with the empty map file is common and was never really solved, AFAIK. So you have several options: 1. install the fonts manually 2. use texfont and write the map file manually 3. try Patrick's otfinst http://wiki.contextgarden.net/otfinst 4.

These are defined as ligatures in the tfm/vf files. Doesn't texfont produce vpl-files as an intermediate format? You could open those and check whether the ligature is defined.

local stripper = lpeg.Cs(((w/) + lpeg.C(1))^0)
lpeg.print(stripper)
str = Germans somehow always talk about Der Thomas and Der Hans
print(stripper:match(str))
Brilliant again! I can run with that, looks great! And who doesn't
want a local stripper in his code?
3. How can I compare strings with utf8 characters? My naive approach
if string.find(record, Résumé)
doesn't appear to work (while the same method does work if the
string has only ASCII characters).
since lua is 8 bit clean utf should just work
OK, then the problem must be somewhere else. I'll investigate.
Thanks a lot, and best wishes
Thomas

[NTG-context] lua questions
Hi all, this is a bit OT and should probably go to a lua list, but since some people here are very proficient in lua and I feel less embarrassed about noob questions here... I have a half-functioning python script to convert entries from a classics database into the bibtex format. I want to rewrite it in lua and make it more functional. Three little problems/questions: 1. I found a script to convert Roman numerals via lpeg here: http://lua-users.org/wiki/LpegRecipes but it uses the syntax lpeg.Ca which my lpeg doesn't recognize and which I can't find in the lpeg manual. According to a talk by Roberto Ierusalimschy, lpeg.Ca(patt) - accumulates the nested captures. (http://www.inf.puc-rio.br/~roberto/lpeg/slides-lpeg-workshop2008.pdf ) Is this obsolete, has it been replaced by anything? 2. How can I check if a string begins with a class of words (Der |Die |Das |The |An ) etc. and strip these words from the string? I do it with a compiled regexp in python, but Programming in lua has this to say: Unlike some other systems, in Lua a modifier can only be applied to a character class; there is no way to group patterns under a modifier. For instance, there is no pattern that matches an optional word (unless the word has only one letter). Usually you can circumvent this limitation using some of the advanced techniques that we will see later. I haven't found these techniques yet. 3. How can I compare strings with utf8 characters? My naive approach if string.find(record, Résumé) doesn't appear to work (while the same method does work if the string has only ASCII characters). Sorry if this is OT, and I'll be grateful for any pointers.

A+ -AJ If you want to use this font with mkii, you'll need much more than just a typescript, at the least tfms + encodings + mapfiles. That's the reason why luatex so much more convenient. Also depends on how you want to use the font: which parts are you interested in, Greek, Latin, ?

Hi, Did you manage to fix it? LuaTeX goes into (what I think is) an endless cycle --- I haven't allowed it to terminate naturaly, as it takes far too long even on a quad core. Yes, I get a segmentation fault here on OS X as well. I talked to Hans in Bohinj (I'm back earlier than the rest, who are still working hard in Slovenia), and he thinks we'll just have to wait a bit till luatex integrates code from fontforge v.3. So for the time being, Arno Pro is unfortunately no go. Just for the record and in case anybody else is interested: with the latest luatex and the latest beta, ArnoPro now works in mkiv!
