I’m afraid it doesn’t work.
\startluacode
userdata = userdata or {}
function userdata.numbersfname(name)
return string.match(name, "%d+")
end
\stopluacode
\defineexpandable[1]\numbersfname
{\cldcontext{userdata.numbersfname([==[#1]==])}}
\starttext
\numbersfname{abc123}
\numbersfname{\env{fname}}
\doifelse{\numbersfname{\env{fname}}}{123}{yes}{no}
\stoptext
Just curious about what the difference might be.
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

Just for the record, this sample also works in Windows.
The Lua variable isn’t empty and the conditional outputs "yes".

I find it simpler to write macros where there is clean communicating
between tex and lua. For example:

\define[1]\numbersfname

This is the first time I see that way of wrapping an argument.

In any case, I cannot compare to a number:

2. Is there no Lua version of \getvariable{...}{...}?
There is no need because everything is stored in a Lua table.
begin example
\starttext
\startluacode
local argumentlist = document.arguments.arguments
local argumenttable = utilities.parsers.settings_to_hash(argumentlist)
context(argumenttable["fname"])

I tested the example with:

[NTG-context] Need help processing XML in luacode
Hi,
after one year I’m back at a project processing XML with ConTeXt.
Here is what I want to do:
I have an XML file that I want to format with ConTeXt.
I got this working last year.
Now I want to take some information from a second file.
My idea is to read the second file, store the data into a table and
write auxiliary functions to access the data and insert them into the TeX
output.
When I process the included files with
context --environment=prozess-style-ecm.tex prozess.xml
I get
[ctxlua]:19: table index is nil
12
13 doc = xml.load(doclistfile, settings)
14
15 for v in xml.collected(doc,"/doclist/psdoc/") do
16 -- print ((xml.filter(v,"//docnr/stripped()")))
17 docnr = (cropstring(xml.filter(v,"/docnr/text()")))
18 docname = (cropstring(xml.filter(v,"/docname/text()")))
19 -- es kann mehrere DOCAN geben!
20 docan = (cropstring(xml.filter(v,"/docan/text()")))
21 docverantwortlich =
(cropstring(xml.filter(v,"/docverantwortlich/text()")))
22 >> docstruktur[docnr]={}
The xml.collected works, but the xml.filter returns nil.
What did I miss?
mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 1.03
mtx-context |
mtx-context | main context file: /Volumes/Macintosh
HD/usr/local/texlive/context-109/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/context.mkiv
mtx-context | current version: 2020.01.30 14:13
mtx-context | main context file: /Volumes/Macintosh
HD/usr/local/texlive/context-109/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/context.mkxl
mtx-context | current version: 2020.01.30 14:13
The same code works when I use it in a Lua file that I call with
mtxrun --script panalyse.lua

I’m planing to convert a large but simple document to context. The document consists of 3 Parts. Each part has several chapters. Thus I started to build a project with three products, see enclosed archive. According to my understanding I should be able to context c_01 to get one chapter context prd_A to get one product context project_ecm to get the whole book. Any whole book should be a product, and the Parts should just be components. The project level is only there to connect meta-info across a book series. You are not supposed to run ‘context’ on the project file. That said, it is definitely not your installation or understanding of the wiki page that creates the circular inclusion. The same happens here. I discovered it works OK if I move the \product to within the \startcomponent, and I assume that is how it supposed to work: \startcomponent \product prd_1 … \stopcomponent At a guess, I think the wiki page is wrong. But before editing that, I would like to have confirmation of the above assumption. The \product command is more or less useless because it provides only the information of the main file of the document. The real question is where you should put the \project or \environment commands. When you put them before \startproduct you’re loading your fonts before the start of the document and the Latin Modern fallback isn’t used but when you put them after \startproduct you load your font after the Latin Modern fallback. One advantage when you load the project/environment after \startproduct (or \startcomponent) is that you can use the product or component modes in your environment file to set different image or subpath folder dependant on which file type you typeset. In the end it doesn’t matter whether you load your project/environment before or after \startproduct because there is no difference.

Re: [NTG-context] Need help with project: TeX capacity exceeded
I took a look at your example files and there a few things which can be
improved.
Product file:
1. You don’t need the actual name of the current file and use * instead
2. You can use brackets as delimiters for the file name instead of a
space after the name
3. In products you can put all content in a document environment which
has hooks to insert text etc. at the begin and end of the document
(which can be used to insert a titlepage or endpage). You can even use
\startdocument (or \setupdocument) to set the document name in the pdf
viewer (yes it can also be done with \setupinteraction but
\startdocument is nicer).
A minimal file would be
\startproduct [*]
\project [project_skel]
\startdocument
\component [c_01]
\component [c_02]
\stopdocument
\stopproduct
or
\startproduct [*]
\project [project_skel]
\startdocument
\startbodymatter
\component [c_01]
\component [c_02]
\stopbodymatter
\stopdocument
\stopproduct
Environment file:
1. Don’t load the project from your environment file
2. Don’t use \usepath to set the folders for the product files, use it
instead to set the folders for your component files which are loaded
from the products
3. You can remove the braces around the subfolder which aren’t necessary.

That’s what I do.
Since I wrote that wiki page (some years ago) I’ll change it.
I appreciate that.
How about offering a skeleton project for download?
Here is my corrected ECM with the following README:
This is a skeleton project.
You can copy it and change the files to contain your content.
The top level project collects metatdata to make all products have the same
layout. It is not meant to be processed by context.
The products are used to generate the whole book, but you can process each
component seperately to reduce the processing time.

I appreciate that.
How about offering a skeleton project for download?
Here is my corrected ECM with the following README:
This is a skeleton project.
You can copy it and change the files to contain your content.
The top level project collects metatdata to make all products have the same
layout. It is not meant to be processed by context.
The products are used to generate the whole book, but you can process each
component seperately to reduce the processing time.

I see.
I’ll probably keep it as three books.
It’s easy to change later as long as the components have different names.
Right now that’s just a limitation of the word processor.

Works here as well, thank you.
What about the project?
Right now it is outside the \start{product|component} and it works.
Now it is inside the \start{product|component} and it works as well.
Next question:
Should the environment be inside \startproject \stopproject?
It seems to make no difference.
Thus having the whole file inside \start{project|product|component} \stop…
would be a good idea and consistent.

Thanks for the quick response, now I can tell pandoc to convert the book to
context:-)

[NTG-context] Need help with project: TeX capacity exceeded
Hello, this is my second try to start with context and I can’t even do the first step. I’m planing to convert a large but simple document to context. The document consists of 3 Parts. Each part has several chapters. Thus I started to build a project with three products, see enclosed archive. According to my understanding I should be able to context c_01 to get one chapter context prd_A to get one product context project_ecm to get the whole book. The first two steps lead to circular inclusion and the TeX capacity error. The last step doesn’t load the products and creates no files. I got my information from https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Project_structure and think I adapted them correctly, but obviously I didn’t. I included the log files in case there is something broken with my setup.

[NTG-context] Need help defining command.
HI All,
I remember seeing some seeing what I want to do but I can not find it.
I would like to define a command that takes an optional key-valued list and
1 or 2 manditory ones.
Something like
\unexanded\def\MyCommand[#1]#2%
{%
\NassiGroupFrame[#1]{#2}%
}%
or
\unexanded\def\MyCommand[#1]#2%
{%
% extract keyvalue
\NassiGroupFrame[\width=\extractedvalueone]{hbox to \extractvaletwo{#2}}%
}%
where \NassiGroupFrame is a Frame.
To give you an idea why I need this see the MWE below.
This is a relatively simple example, there will be more complicated frames and
they will be nested.
Maybe I am chasing windmills and there is a better way and I should use cld or
lua for
outputing the Frames so that I can have spacing between the command and avoid
having
to use % after the first opening {.
Or does someone know how it can be done. Is there a way to use ConTeXt to write
the command
Pointers, help welcome.

Re: [NTG-context] Need help defining command.
Hi Wolfgang, to be honest one of my design considerations was to this work using MetaPost. But, my knowledge of MetaPost is minimal and it would be involved calculating the positions of the Frames/boxes and I need to know the sizes of the formatted text, etc Another approach would be to use layer, but I can not find much documentation about how/if they can be used inside of a frame. regards Keith Am 22.10.2013 um 11:31 schrieb Wolfgang Schuster schuster.wolfg...@gmail.com: [snip, snip] There are ways to ignore the spaces at the begin (\ignorespaces) and end (\removeunwantedspaces) of a group but you should rethink first your interface for your commands (why no start/stop commands).

Re: [NTG-context] need help with macro
Am 23.09.2012 um 15:33 schrieb Philipp Gesang ges...@stud.uni-heidelberg.de:
Hi all,
I have a macro “mogrify” that eats three tokens of a string and
treats them differently from the rest of the string. I can’t
however use it inside more complex macros. Is there a way out or
an alternative using macros? (No Lua.) Other formatting macros
work fine in the same place.
Any help will be greatly appreciated

[NTG-context] Need help with the letter module

I'm trying to write a letter, but it gets all screwy. The first batch of

separate page.
Clearly I'm doing something wrong although I'm looking at the manuals:

The \ps, \cc etc. commands where added after the TeXLive 2008 release.
Using the latest version from thr garden/CTAN/minimals won't help because
it's not compatible with ConTeXt versions before 2009 due to changes in
ConTeXt itself.
What you can do is upgrade to TeXLive 2009 or install the ConTeXt minimals.

[NTG-context] Need help with bibliography
Hello, I'm planning to write my Master's thesis in history using ConTeXt, and I've done some experimenting on it to see if it's actually suitable for my purposes. Everything seems to be quite simple except for one thing: the bibliography. The bibliography guidelines for our history department are rather complex in comparison to the formats that come packaged with ConTeXt, and I have no idea how to implement them. So far, I've run into two problems: 1. This one's probably very simple: there's the /insertauthors macro for inserting the whole name of the author. But how do you insert just the last name of the author? 2. This one, on the other hand, is likely to be rather non-trivial: the bibliography needs to be broken up into several categories of sources. For example, audiovisual sources, newspaper sources and books should be listed under separate headings, somewhat like this: BIBLIOGRAPHY I. AUDIOVISUAL SOURCES [some sources] II. NEWSPAPER SOURCES [...] III. BOOKS [...] I've tried to decipher the source code of the Bib module but as I'm not particularly fluent in TeX, I haven't been able to make much headway so far. I'd appreciate some hints on where to start with this. I don't suppose there's any existing code for something like this? Maybe I'd be better off writing the bibliography by hand?

OK, that's a good point, and I fully agree with it. It's only that I would probably use something like that for really simple, short, one-page documents, where I would be concerned about the speed I need to come to a solution, not with the speed of document processing - half a second more or less. This was in my case also a one page document but I created over hundret full page graphics (needed for fieldstacks) and it is a real problem in this case, the other problem for this solution was, I had to pass dozen graphic position to Metapost and it was easier to do the whole work within TeX and use Metapost only to create the needed graphics one and reuse them. With the route tex - .plt file - gnuplot - tex (metafun) - metapost (- mpto or \sometxt) - pdf, which I frequently use, the situation is much much worse, but it's still acceptable. ConTeXt became at least 10 times faster during the last three or four years. (Or at least that's my impression.) I don't use gnuplot and I think a lua driven Tikz should solve this in the future, calculate the graphs with lua definition and draw the graphics with TeX macros. You should also replace the fullcircle with drawdot in your example, drawdot renders better on screen and looks better. Thanks. I always use fill fullcircle for some reason. Perhaps I should changle my habit :) Sorry, my fault. What I meant was the difference between draw point and drawpoint point where the first should be replaced in this situation with the later, fullcircle produce nice circles and Donald Knuth took care about this.

OK, that's a good point, and I fully agree with it. It's only that I would probably use something like that for really simple, short, one-page documents, where I would be concerned about the speed I need to come to a solution, not with the speed of document processing - half a second more or less. With the route tex - .plt file - gnuplot - tex (metafun) - metapost (- mpto or \sometxt) - pdf, which I frequently use, the situation is much much worse, but it's still acceptable. ConTeXt became at least 10 times faster during the last three or four years. (Or at least that's my impression.)

Re: [NTG-context] need help for the installation of luatools
Dear Thomas,
I found the folder /usr/local/Build/powerpc/TeXLive.2006. I
remembered that I have tried to install TeX using the source before.
When I open terminal, .luatex in not implemented yet and texexec --
make --all --pdftex run without any errors.

As you see in the above output, it uses the searching method 'kpsewhich'
and '/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/web2c/natural.tcx'
But after running 'source ~/.luatex', it used the same searaching
path but different path for format and engine paths as following even
though I removed /usr/local/Build folder.
However, to run 'luatools --generate', I need to run .luatex.
Still, I have a problem in 'luatools --ini --compile...'.

So I think that .luatex change the setting for the ConTeXt.
I attached .luatex file which shows the TDS in my mac.
By the way, what is 'whence'? It is a unknown cmd in my machine.
and how to remove '/usr/local/Build/...' from the engine path?
Thank you for your help.

Re: [NTG-context] need help for the installation of luatools
Thank you, Thomas, Arthur, and Taco,
I checked texmf.cnf. There are two texmf.cnf
gwTeX/texmf.cnf --- there is no code for the memory setup, it
just describe the TDS structure.
gwTeX/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf --- trie_size = 40
gwTeX/texmf.local/web2c/ no texmf.cnf
Gerben made other cnf file(he said that it is for the context).
gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/web2c/{context.cnf, natural.ctx} ---
trie_size.context = 50
The result of kpsewhich texmf.cnf is /usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.cnf.
And kpsewhich --expand-var = '$TEXMF' shows the directory system of
gwTeX.
At this moment, I don't know what I can do. I'll test it more after
changing the memory setup.
Thank you again.

Dalyoung

Re: [NTG-context] need help for the installation of luatools
I copied lua5.1 as luatex and texlua in the folder /usr/texbin. That's not what you should do: lua5.1 is only the lua interpreter, nothing more, and cannot act as LuaTeX (the TeX engine with embedded Lua scripting). Nor can it act as TeXLua, the LuaTeX-aware Lua interpreter. Of course both lua5.1 and texlua are Lua interpreters and this is why luatools superficially works; but the latter has more libraries than lua alone, one of them called 'lua': luatools cannot work without those. What you should do is take the Mac binary for *LuaTeX* and copy it under the different names (texlua and texluac); symlinks are fine, too. Recent binaries are available at http://foundry.supelec.fr/frs/?group_id=10 as both Intel Mac and universal binaries (no PPC-alone binary, sorry). That way, you actually don't need Lua itself (everything you need is built-in into LuaTeX). One you've done that, you can start over again. Feel free to ask questions if you have other problems.

Re: [NTG-context] need help for the installation of luatools
Dear Thomas,
How careless I am! and sorry not to give you a sufficient information.
As you said, lua!=luatex.
I downloaded and installed luatex in the folder /usr/texbin.
I also copied it as texlua.
Now, It seems to me that luatools is working without the previous
error.
However, there is a problem of doing luatools --generate yet
because I used TeXlive based on the gwTeX distribution.

Dear Thomas,
How careless I am! and sorry not to give you a sufficient information.
As you said, lua!=luatex.
I downloaded and installed luatex in the folder /usr/texbin.
I also copied it as texlua.
Now, It seems to me that luatools is working without the previous
error.
However, there is a problem of doing luatools --generate yet
because I used TeXlive based on the gwTeX distribution.

In my gwTeX, texmf.cnf is located in geTeX folder which also included
the folders {texmf, texmf.gwtex. texmf.local, texmf.pkgs,
texmf.texlive}, but neither in texmf.local/web2c nor in texmf/web2c.
Also, context is installed in the folder texmf.pkgs/tex/context
I think that it cause the problem.
Is it a real cause of the above problem?
Thank you.
Best regards,
Dalyoung
OK, you're making progress. The installation is successful by itself,
but in order for luatex to work, you need to set some environment
variables. On my machine (OS X with TeXLive 2007), I have these lines
in a file .luatex which I put in my home directory:
CUT HERE%%
export TEXMFCACHE=/tmp
export TEXMFCNF=/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf/web2c
export TEXMF={/Users/tas/.texlive2007/texmf-config,/Users/
tas/.texlive2007/texmf-var,/Users/tas/texmf,/usr/local/texlive/2007/
texmf-config,/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-var,/usr/local/texlive/
2007/texmf,/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local,/usr/local/texlive/2007/
texmf-dist,/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf.gwtex}
export LUAINPUTS={/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/context/base,/
usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/scripts/context/lua}
CUT HERE%%
Adapt these settings to your needs: TEXMFCACHE /tmp is OK. TEXMFCNF
should point to the web2c where your texmf.cnf is located. To find
out what that is, run
kpsewhich texmf.cnf
TEXMF should list all your TEXMF trees. Run
kpsewhich --expand-var='$TEXMF'
You will need to clean up the output (remove stuff like !! etc.) so
it is just a flat list of directories like mine. LUAINPUTS points to
your current ConTeXt installation.
So put these variables in a file .luatex and run
source ~/.luatex
After that, luatools --generate and luatools --ini --compile should
work for you.
HTH
Thomas

[NTG-context] need help for the installation of luatools
Hi, all, I have downloaded binary files(lua5_1_2_Darwin89_bin_tar). After unzip, there are 3 files bin2c5.1, lua5.1, luac5.1. I copied lua5.1 as luatex and texlua in the folder /usr/texbin. I also copied luatools.lua as luatools in the folder /usr/texbin. I updated the ConTeXt and try to install LuaTeX. But, I got an error as following when I issue luatools. apple: dalyoung$ luatools texlua: /usr/texbin/luatools:4183: attempt to index global 'lua' (a nil value) stack traceback: /usr/texbin/luatools:4183: in main chunk [C]: ? I am using TeXlive installed with i-installer. Please give me some hints to avoid the errors. Thank you.
