Reading the Wiki one of those solutions would be XML, but I know very little about the subject, so this email is to ask about experiences in similar endeavors, other solutions for the same problem and how practical this is. I suppose that I would use this for general writing and for academic as well (Maths and engineering). XML is a good format if you need several output formats without losing information (XHTML, HTML, PDF, manpages, plain text). But I recommend some well established grammar (DITA, DocBook) to be able to use their official transformation tools, and to be able to use some XML WYSIWYG editor that supports them natively (like XXE). Strangely enough the PDF output is weakest point since most of the tools use FO and the related compilers (well known FOP, maybe xmlroff, maybe fotex) which can give very ugly output. The only good compiler I know is XEP, but it is not free (there's a full featured personnal edition that sticks its logo on every page). For docbook, you can try marginal tools to convert the XML to *tex formats (DocbookInContext, db2latex, dblatex). You can also directly use the native XML handling of context (method used by DocbookInContext) but IMHO it needs some context knowledge. Personnaly I use docbook, mostly because I have to produce PDF, HTML, and troff (manpages) outputs. It is even possible to convert some already existing manpages to docbook with doclifter.

I still think context overclasses latex, but its systematic refactoring and use of emergent/latest software have their drawbacks, for end users, but for tools depending on it too.

I know that XML can be converted to TeX/LaTeX/ConTeXt using XSL, but my XML is TEI (http://www.tei-c.org/) and not DocBook. If I would use XSL transformation, I guess it would be easier (at least for me) to adapt the already existing TEI-XML-LaTeX XSL files and adapt them to ConTeXt. I wonder (out of ignorance) whether this would be a better way than parsing the XML directly with ConTeXt. I have no experience with handling XML directly with context, but I guess it's the most elegant way of processing, since it relies upon only one tool (no XSLT processor, no stylesheet, no glue to pass the output to texexec), there is no intermediate step, and the code should be smaller. But for me the drawback is that you need a good perception about how context/tex works (things about grouping, how macros expand and other funny things) and debugging might be harder. At least XSL gives an output that you can tweak until something compiles and gives the expected output :-) The other thing is that there are some specific processings that I have no idea how it can be implemented with context. This said, I know there are many people who happily process their XML docs directly with context. Maybe they could also give their feedback.

Maybe you can stay with only one kind of float. The following looks like
the expected rendering, but I don't understand the default placement of
the second large figure.
% float defs
%---
\setupfloat[figure][minwidth=\rightmarginwidth,
criterium=\rightmarginwidth,
location=middle,
default={outermargin,here}]
Thanks for that solution. It solves the problem with the list of
figures. But for the text+margin figures i have to look, if they are
placed on an odd or even page, to set the placing correctly. They should
always be shifted to the outer margin. But your solution avoids the
extra definition of margin images.
Yes, I don't understand why it behaves like this. I thought that it would
be put in the middle.
Do you know the meanings of the criterium. minwidth and maxwidth options
of \setupfloat and how they interact with each other and with default?
It's explained in details.pdf. In brief, for margin floats:
criterium=width: says that when the figure width is greater than
width, the figure is put in the text area. When the figure width is less
than width, it is put in the default specified margin (here:
outermargin).
default=setting: default setting for that kind of float, including the
chosen placement area (outermargin), until the criterium is reached.
maxwidth=width: gives the alignment delimiter in the margin, so that the
figure will not go outside the specified width in the margin, but it will
grow in the text area instead.
minwidth=width: ensures that the figure can take at least this width, so
that if the figure width is smaller (and location=middle) it will be
centered in this area.
I hope there's no missunderstanding in these explainations (others can
tell). Anyway, it cannot be better than the details doc that shows how it
looks.

remind me what it was ...
In the case of mail [1] textbackground overlapped bottom footnote texts or
top floats if the backgrounded stuff covered two pages.
You suggested to use \chardef\kindofpagetextareas\plusone to prevent from
this behaviour. Using this setting fixed it, but introduced some kind of
vertical stretchiness failure so that page text can overlap a bottom
footnote text as shown in the case of mail [2].
So, both textbackground/page modes have their limitation that makes
textbackground use not satisfying. So, it would be great if it could be
fixed.
I haven't installed the latest context release yet, but there's the same
behaviour with context live.

I don't know if it's the mailer that wrapped the text, but you should

[NTG-context] Paragraph line breaking
Hello, I'm trying to tweak some parameters to avoid lines going into the margin when it contains long words. Using \setuptolerance[tolerant (or verytolerant)] helps much but sometimes it isn't enough. My questions are: - Using \filename doesn't hyphenate on backslash characters (which is interesting for Windows paths). Is is intended? - Is there a macro or something like this that I could put before the maybe too long word so that it breaks the line if the word doesn't fit in the line? - Is there a mechanism to define an arbitrary hyphenation pattern? - What are the other parameters I could try to avoid an overlong line? Looking at the style.pdf file, i don't realy know what is pertinent for my purpose. Thanks for any hint.

I don't use context for any technical documentation that requires several output formats (HTML, PDF, troff for manpages), and i use DocBook instead, well suited for a wide range of transformation. This said, I now uses context as backend typesetting engine to convert the DocBook documents into PDF. I can then control the (high quality) output rendering, what I cannot do with XSL FO based transformation, and I don't need java neither (required to process FO, unless you use foxet, maybe). What typesetting tasks do you find difficult-to-onerous in ConTeXt (even in nothing else is available)? Common documents exchanged with colleagues (who have falled into the dark side of MS wor(l)d). BTW, I think that the biggest limitation to have context more used is the installation difficulties: too many dependencies to update by hand (tetex, LM fonts, launching scripts, config files), no standard installation (what about having one day something like a configure; make install), no packaging à la RPM, apt-get, or portinstall. Of course, once done, upgrading the context release is not a big deal, but the first step is not obvious. It's the only explanation I've found why latex is so popular; knowing a bit more the context interface and features I now look latex as a stone age tex macro package.

[NTG-context] Background placement
Hello,
The placement of backgrounded text is sometimes unexpected: it forces a
page break even if there's much room in the page to put the whole thing.
Searching in the mailing list I've found one thread about the subject
(http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20051205.090518.90cc69d4.en.html),
but playing with \setupinterlinespace as suggested doesn't help.
The problem often occurs just after a heading starting at the top of a
page (section, enumeration title). Here is an example showing the
behaviour:
\setuplayout[middle]
\setupcolors[state=start]
% Background
\definecolor[ScreenGray][s=.95]
\setupbackground

a pixels/inch default seems reasonable).
But pixels/cm is equally reasonable, and that is why pdftex ignores
invalid settings in PNG images completely, and uses its internal
default instead. You can control that default resolution by setting
\pdfimageresolution to an appropriate guess:
{\pdfimageresolution=72 \externalfigure[ch01dia1.png]}
But 72 means 72 dots per inch, isn't it? The file already contains that
information (field Resolution given by identify). It's the unit that is
missing (but when you set pdfimageresolution there isn't any unit either,
the unit is implicit). But indeed setting the resolution by hand makes it
work, thanks.

Sure. Can you point me to the documentation of 'bibtopic'
http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/bibtopic/bibtopic.pdf
and also
propose a calling / configuration syntax for the ConTeXt version?
(it is easier for me if I know what to work towards)
I don't know if it's doable or if it breaks the consistency of the current
interface, but I would see something like the list mechanism:
\definebiblist[name][\setupbiblist options]
\setupbiblist[name][\setuppublicationlist options]
\setupbibfile[name][\setupbibtex options]
\placebiblist[name]
\definecombinedbiblist[bibgroup][biblist list][\setupcombinedlist options]
\setupcombinedlist[bibgroup][ not yet clear what options it should provide
]
\startbibentry[name][\startpublication options]
\setupcite[name][what][options] (name optional)
\cite[name][what][ref] or \cite[what][name:ref] (name optional)
To keep the current interface, a default global publication list could
exist:
\setuppublicationlist = \setupbiblist[publication]
\startpublication = \startbibentry[publication]
\placepublications = \placebiblist[publication]
\setupbibtex = \setupbibfile[publication]
Example of use:
% the specs come only from bibtex files
\definebiblist[specs][criterium=all]
\setupbibtex[specs][database={spec1,spec2},sort=short]
\definebiblist[manuals][criterium=all]
\setupbibtex[manuals][database=manbase,sort=short]
% also an embedded definition for the manuals
\startbibentry[manuals][k=me,t=manual,a=Hoekwater,y=2006]
\author[]{Taco}[T.]{}{Hoekwater}
\title{Publication Module}
\stopbibentry
% all the biblio stuff
\definecombinedbiblist[allbibs][specs,manuals][criterium=all]
% let's go
\starttext
\chapter{The doc}
\section{References in the chapter}
\subsection{Specifications}
\placebiblist[specs][criterium=cite]
\subsection{Manuals}
\placebiblist[manuals][criterium=local]
\section{Introduction}
As explained in \cite[manuals][key][me]...
\chapter{References Summary}
\placecombinedlist[allbibs]
\stoptext
What is not clear for me:
- if the bibentry numbering must be global or could restart to 1 for each
list,
- if it is really feasible to place the biblists several times in the doc,
and if so, to which list the \cite actually points to.
I hope that all of this doesn't sound too stupid :-)

Strictly speaking it's not OSX, but i've a FreeBSD distro, which is close,

Are you sure you have the permission to write in any of these paths?
BTW, i find dangerous to do (kpse.formatpath method):
# locate writable path
if ! formatpath.empty? then
formatpath.split_path.each do |fp|
fp.gsub!(/\\/,'/')
# remove funny patterns
fp.sub!(/^!!/,'')

if FileTest.directory?(fpp)
FileTest.writable?(fpp) then
# use this path
formatpath = fp.dup

# needed !
begin File.makedirs(formatpath) ; rescue ; end ;
If none of the paths from formatpath is valid, we keep the whole concat

Thomas, maybe that you have ugly directories created starting with an
hidden directory named .:. You should check that.

your texmf.cnf file should contain:
TEXFONTMAPS =
.;$TEXMF/fonts/map/{$progname,pdftex,dvips,}//;$TEXMF/{$progname,pdftex,dvips}/{config,}//
as long as we have no uniform map file syntax, progs needs to be able to
find their own map files
Ok, thanks, modifying texmf.cnf as you say fixes the path precedence. Now,
is there a ruby debug mode to see why the paths are lost with texexec.rb?
Or tests I could do to find out what happens?

[NTG-context] Description nesting
Hello,
Is there a way to nest some descriptions, where the nested descriptions
respect the enclosing indentation?
Funnily the wiki speaks about the subject
(http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Description) but doesn't give any solution
(btw, the given solution to have several paragraphs in a description looks
obsolete since \start \stop works pretty well).
Here is an example that I would like to see working:
\definedescription[descr][
headstyle=bold,style=normal,align=left,location=hanging,
width=broad,margin=1cm]
\setupwhitespace[medium]
\starttext
\startdescr{Para}
This is a shorter item label, and some text that talks about it.
The text is wrapped into a paragraph, with successive lines indented.
This is another paragraph under the Para item.
\startdescr{SubPara1}
This is a shorter item label, and some text that talks about it.
The text is wrapped into a paragraph, with successive lines indented.
\stopdescr
\startdescr{SubPara2}
This is a shorter item label, and some text that talks about it.
The text is wrapped into a paragraph, with successive lines indented.

It have already tried to use boxes.mp in ConTeXt in the past, but

2. boxes.mp causes troubles when used with ConTeXT
I'll keep searching a solution but if one of yours has already dealt

I remember I had such troubles when including boxes. It makes a mess when

Really? As far as I understand the code, it sets \readfilename and
\locreadfilename in a clean way, and that's all:
\def\makelocreadfilename#1%
{\sanitizefilename#1\to\readfilename
\checkfilename\readfilename
\ifcase\kindoffile
\edef\locreadfilename{\pathplusfile\f!currentpath{#1}}%
\fi}
Anyway, if it's that call that should expand the filename, it does not
work. In \dodotypefile the search is done previously by a call to
\doifinputfileelse that sets \filepath (set again to \readfilename but I
don't know why), but this result is not used since \readfilename is re-set
to #3 by \makelocreadfilename. But you know this far better than I :-)

Hello, When a reference is set to \head, a space after the square brackets appears in the output. Shouldn't it be ignored? Applying a reference to \item does not show the problem. Besides, what is the best way to put item or head text in square brackets? Using \relax works but I'm not sure if it's the recommended method. Here is an example: \starttext \startitemize[n][headstyle=bold] \head Head1 \par Body1 \head Head2 \par Body2 \head[u]Head3 \par Body3 \head[v] Head4 \par Body4 \head[v] Head4 \par Body4 \head\relax[Head in brackets] \par Body5 \head\relax [Head in brackets] \par Body6 \item Item1 \item Item2 \item[w]Item3 \item[x] Item4 \item[y] Item4 \item\relax[Item in bracket] \item\relax [Item in bracket] \stopitemize \stoptext Regards, BG ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Ok, but then
\definehead[xx][chapter]
\setupsection[\sectionofhead{chapter}][conversion=Romannumerals]
\setupsection[\sectionofhead{xx}][conversion=Character]
will put Character conversion for both chapter and xx heading. That's
why
i thought it could be interesting to have the conversion option also for
setuphead, to limit the conversion to one heading.
btw, it seems strange to have so many setuphead command options
(textcommand, numbercommand, deepnumbercommand) to format completely the
head rendering, and not the ability to change only the head number
conversion without changing the whole global section level.
it can be done at the sectionblock level (see chinese)
Hm, I've missed something. I see nothing about sectionblock in chinese,
but at page 10 there is:
\setuphead [section] [conversion=chinese]
\setuphead [chapter] [conversion=]
\setuphead [section] [conversion=numbers]

[NTG-context] Table width trouble
Hello, I come back with that damn table test case. With release 2006.04.22: - it works fine when the column width is passed as table option, - it's wrong when the width is passed via a column setup only, - it works ok when both table and column option are passed, and it's the column option that is used (which is the expected behaviour). - it's ok when no width specified at all. \starttext \startbuffer \bTR \bTD[nc=2] A \eTD\bTD x \eTD \bTD[nc=2] B \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD X \eTD \bTD[nc=3] C \eTD \bTD x \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD[nc=2] D \eTD \bTD x \eTD \bTD[nc=2] E \eTD \eTR \stopbuffer % ok \bTABLE[frame=on,width=3em] \getbuffer \eTABLE % nok, messy table \bTABLE[frame=on] \setupTABLE[c][each][width=3em] \getbuffer \eTABLE % ok, width=3em for each column \bTABLE[frame=on,width=0.1pt] \setupTABLE[c][each][width=3em] \getbuffer \eTABLE % ok \bTABLE[frame=on] \getbuffer \eTABLE \stoptext Regards, BG ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

You see the problem on the last row, but the fact is that you force
the

It's not that easy, since the bottomframe - once set - is persistent
...
so

No, the options are local to the current level where it is set. If
bottomframe is on for one row, it won't set bottomframe to the next
rows.
In the following example, only two rows (the header and another one in
the
body) have local bottomframe on, and the last row bottomframe is done
with
table setup:
The persistence issue is XML specific, I believe and therefore does not
apply to your code example.
It's because you systematically apply the attribute. Doing this should
work, even if there's maybe a smarter way of doing:
\defineXMLnested
[tr]
[bottomframe=,rulethickness=0.5pt]
{\doifelse{\XMLop{bottomframe}}{}%
{\expanded{\bTR}}%
{\expanded{\bTR[bottomframe=\XMLop{bottomframe},rulethickness=\XMLop{rulethickness}]}}}
{\eTR}
I attach the full example.

[NTG-context] Forbidden things in bookmarks
Hello,
The heading bookmarks don't accept some macros, like \copyright.
In latex there's a handy feature that allows to define the text to put in
the TOC and the text in the heading itself, like \chapter[Title in the
TOC]{Actual Title in the doc}. Is it possible to do it in context? If not,
maybe it could be an interesting feature to add.
Example crashing if \placebookmarks used:
\setupcolors[state=start]
\setupinteraction[state=start]
% also generate pdf bookmarks
\placebookmarks
[chapter,section,subsection]
\startfrontmatter
\completecontent
\stopfrontmatter
\startbodymatter
\starttext
\chapter{A \copyright}
a a a
\stopbodymatter
\stoptext
