[NTG-context] Re: context not producing synctex output that my synctex program can use
Henning and Hans, thanks for the replies. I have two follow-up questions below, as well as some other comments which other synctex users might find useful.

Q1: Should that be in the wiki (https://wiki.contextgarden.net/SyncTeX) somewhere? When I try that out, for example with mtxrun --script synctex --edit --name=a.tex --line=222 a.tex I am rewarded with sandbox | variable 'linenumber' has no checker (I tried various variations on that line I won't bore you with, but I keep getting that error message.) I also tried mtxrun --script synctex --goto --page=4 --x=100 --y=100 a.synctex and that silently returns without apparently doing anything. (While I don't have a 'scite' editor, I created a program called 'scite' that pops a message up on the screen if it is called.) Similar to --edit, mtxrun --script synctex --goto --page=19 --x=400 --y=180 --tolerance=99 --editor=scite a.synctex complains sandbox | variable 'tolerance' has no checker Although I don't know lua, the code is easy enough to read, but a short dive in to mtx-synctex.lua did not enlighten me. Q2: any enlightening comments on why I am getting these complaints. In any case, --find and --report (appear to) give meaningful results, so I can work with those. > Unfortunately, it’s not a drop-in replacement, so it doesn’t work with most > editors.

So much code to write, so little time ...:-) My immediate concern is forward search (i.e., editor tells viewer which page to display) and that one should be easy for me to create a wrapper. (I use emacs + auctex, which calls the synctex program, so writing my own synctex wrapper looks easy. Hopefully I won't regret using the word "easy" later.) > AFAIK TeXshop (MacOS) is the only TeX editor that supports ConTeXt’s > workflow.

Otherwise you won't get the right jobname. Of course it then still depends on the pdf viewer + lib used if things work out as expected. there isn't much we can do about the viewer part unless tit is not locked into the binary but as flexible like the texshop viewer is Hans - Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl - ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / https://mailman.ntg.nl/mailman3/lists/ntg-context.ntg.nl webpage : https://www.pragma-ade.nl / https://context.aanhet.net (mirror) archive : https://github.com/contextgarden/context wiki : https://wiki.contextgarden.net ___

[NTG-context] Problems with line numbered program listings
I'm trying to typeset some program listings with annotations alongside. I've
tried both columns and tabulate but both have (different) issues:
1) Plain \typefile won't allow the line numbers to be in the text - they stay
in the margin whch I don't want.
2) \typefile using a \definedtyping name does work and works in \columns as
well. This is great until my listing is too long to fit on a page and then I'd
rather have the column continue onto the next page but \columns balances of
course.
3) \tabulate allows a single cell to continue down over the page exactly as I'd
like, but the line numbers disappear altogether. (And it has to be a single
cell because the program listings are in source files that I want to include
using \typefile rather than re-enter to avoid typos.)
You can see each of these effects with the following MWE which first needs a
file called "three_lines.txt" to be created in the local directory containing
the lines:
one
two
three
begin
\setuplinenumbering[location=text,style=\small\tt]
\starttext
Location=text not working in main body
\typefile[numbering=line]{three_lines.txt}
But it does work if a custom typing environment is created.
\definetyping[MyTyping][style=\tt]
\typefile[MyTyping][numbering=line]{three_lines.txt}
Still works if used in a column
\startcolumns
\typefile[MyTyping][numbering=line]{three_lines.txt}
\column
:-)
\stopcolumns
\blank
But doesn't work if used in tabulate
\starttabulate[|p|p|]
\NC
\typefile[MyTyping][numbering=line]{three_lines.txt}
\NC
No line numbers at all :-(
\NR
\stoptabulate
\stoptext
end
What I'd most like is for tabulate to allow \typefile with line numbers if at
all possible.

if os.which(‘dir’) then

end
But note that os.which() may be unreliable in various cases (like it will fail
for shell/command interpreter builtins, in cron jobs, in special scripted
environments, and may incorrectly succeed for disabled/forbidden commands), as
it just runs through the PATH environment variable to check for executable file
existence.
Often times, it is better to just try to run the command to see if that
produces satisfactory results.
Best wishes,

you can use line numbers to include a small block (e.g. range={3,10} or

Re: [NTG-context] start a program with a particular file
I followed Adam Lindsay's suggestion and looked up \useexternalsoundtrack
in core-fig.
But unfortunately I am ignorant of low level TeXnicalities.
I could only figure out that I needed two parameters and by trial and error
I found that they have to be included in [ and ].
The line:
\gebruikexterngeluidsfragment[muziek][C:/Downloads/MyMusic.mp3]
gave no errors, but not a text `muziek' on which I could click for starting
the music.
In the past I used the construction
\stelprogrammasin[gebied=G:/ConTeXt/Imagine/]
\definieerprogramma[PQRS][PQRS.exe][PQRS]
\programma[PQRS].
for launching my program PQRS (without opening a file).
Unfortunately I could not get Hans' suggestion
\naar{programma PQRS}[PQRS.exe]
working for this case, maybe because the fs does not support it?
Neither could I start my program Sila.exe with a particular file `Sila.spf':
\naar{programma Sila}[Sila.exe(Sila.spf)]
Maybe I should wait until the coming version.

Let's say I want to start mediaplayer with the file MyMusic.wav.
in addition to adam's answer, you can use \goto {something}
[program(somefile)] to get anything launched that the fs supports, like
excel sheets and so on windows; in the coming version file embedding is
also an option (include file in doc, and open it as attachment); i have
this running now also with user defined launch symbols

Well, for this specific example, why not \useexternalsoundtrack (core-fig)? Acrobat seems to support a fair number of media types in a cross-platform way, which could get around relying on mediaplayer being around on any particular machine... adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
