[NTG-context] typearea
Hi,
I'm new to ConTeXt and try to use the module typearea
(https://modules.contextgarden.net/cgi-bin/module.cgi/action=find/name=typearea).
But the example doesn't work:
\usemodule[typearea]
\setupTypeArea[bcor=0mm,alphabets=3.1]
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
\starttext
\dorecurse4{\framed[width=\textwidth,height=\textheight]{test}\page}
\stoptext
I got:
texmf-dist/tex/context/third/typearea/t-typearea.tex'
loading > Something like KOMA-TypeArea
tex error > tex error on line 89 in file
/usr/local/texlive/2023/texmf-dist/tex/context/third/typearea/t-typearea.tex:
Missing number, treated as zero
{
\TA@alphabets
\par \PageWidth =\dimexpr \paperwidth -\TA@bcor \relax \par \edef
\Ratio {\withoutpt {
\the \dimexpr 2\paperheight /(\PageWidth /32768)\relax }} \par
\setbox \scratchbox \hbox {\dorecurse {26}{\character \recurselevel }}
\Width =\dimexpr \TA@alphabet
\setupTypeArea[bcor=0pt,oneside=no,alphabets=2.6]
79 height=\the\Height,
80 width=\the\Width,
81 header=2\lineheight,
82 headerdistance=\lineheight,
83 footer=2\lineheight,
84 footerdistance=3\lineheight,
85 topspace=\Top]
86 }
87 \protect
88
89 >> \setupTypeArea[bcor=0pt,oneside=no,alphabets=2.6]
90
91 \doifnotmode{demo}{\endinput}
92
93 %D Usage example:
94 \usemodule[typearea]
95 \setupTypeArea[bcor=0mm,alphabets=3.1]
96 \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]
97 \starttext
98 \dorecurse4{\framed[width=\textwidth,height=\textheight]{test}\page}
99 \stoptext
A number should have been here; I inserted '0'. (If you can't figure out
why I
needed to see a number, look up 'weird error' in the index to The TeXbook.)
mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 1
Line 89 in the module should be the problem. But how can I solve it? I
think some lines in the module should be commented out. (An example
directly in the module?)
I thank you for any hint.
Greetings
Thomas___

Sorry, forgot the MWE:
\usemodule[typearea]
\starttext\null\stoptext
To fix the module you have to change the line
\edef\Ratio{\withoutpt{\the\dimexpr2\paperheight/(\PageWidth/32768)\relax}}
with (remove one pair of curly braces)
\edef\Ratio{\withoutpt\the\dimexpr2\paperheight/(\PageWidth/32768)\relax}
Similar problems can happens with other modules because many of them are
outdated
and they should be either updated or removed (the files can still be
archived).

Very strange, it works, but I don't understand how 2 * a / (b / 32768) == a/b
one can divide a dimen by a dimen in which case the dimen is cast on a
counter (internally a dimen is just a number, with a sp unit); we need to
compensate by 64K then; i multiply by two first to get rid of inaccuracy
etc etc
Do I understand it right, backspace is the inner margin, and cutspace the
outer one? Are both needed?
no, but it permits width=middle

[code skipped]
Some days ago Willy Egger sent me a translation/summary of this koma page
size adventure.
Since I opt for a more contexty solution i want to follow a stepwise
approach in getting this done. As a start:
(1) the ratio: this is the most efficient and (on average) accurate
solution that also handles large paper sizes:
%edef\layoutratio{\withoutpt{\the\dimexpr(8\paperheight/\dimexpr(\paperwidth/
8192))}}
%edef\layoutratio{\withoutpt{\the\dimexpr(4\paperheight/\dimexpr(\paperwidth/16384))}}
%edef\layoutratio{\withoutpt{\the\dimexpr(2\paperheight/\dimexpr(\paperwidth/32768))}}
\edef\layoutratio{\withoutpt{\the\dimexpr(2\paperheight/(\paperwidth/32768))}}
(2) for the moment this way, will be handled slightly different (because in
context we can mix layouts and layouts can be dynamic
\def\layoutwidth
{10cm}
\unprotected \def\layouthfheight
{\dimexpr(\layoutparameter\c!hoofd+\layoutparameter\c!hoofdafstand+
\layoutparameter\c!voet +\layoutparameter\c!voetafstand )}
\def\layoutheight
{\dimexpr(\layoutratio\dimexpr(\layoutwidth)+\layouthfheight)}
(3) this brings us:
\definelayout
[koma] % actually i want a better name since it's one of a set of
calculations
[backspace=\dimexpr((\paperwidth-\layoutwidth)/2),
width=middle, % less rounding errors than \layoutwidth,
cutspace=\dimexpr((\paperwidth-\layoutwidth)/2),
header=2\lineheight,
headerdistance=\lineheight,
height=middle, % less rounding errors than \layoutheight
footerdistance=\lineheight,
footer=2\lineheight,
topspace=\dimexpr(1\dimexpr(\paperheight-(\layoutheight+\layouthfheight))/3),
bottomspace=\dimexpr(2\dimexpr(\paperheight-(\layoutheight+\layouthfheight))/3)]
\setuplayout
[koma]
(4) the 'number of chars per line' .. i'll come back to that

Re: [NTG-context] typearea
Hi Hans, I was surfing the internet looking for Häufigkeitstabelle frequncy and alike for letters. Please have a look at the attached file with some links. Apparently nobody does care about capitals - which is rather strange when considering our purposes. On the other hand it is quite understandable realizing that such info is used in cryptography...
