[NTG-context] Left margin of vim module output
Hi,
how can I adjust the left margin of the output of the vim module?

explicitly.

[NTG-context] \startluacode and macro names with underscores

the luacode environment chokes on macro names with underscores.

function userdata.number_one() context(one) end

-- context.number_two()
-- workaround
tex.print(\\number_two)

Why is that and what can be done to access underscored macros in the

prints into the TeX stream.

[NTG-context] TeX expansion within lua
Hi,
please have a look at the following example:
\starttext
\def\cmd{%
\def\mymacro{Foobar}
\newtoks\mytoks
\mytoks={mytoks}}
\startluacode
context.cmd()
context.mymacro()
-- this fails
-- context(tex.toks.mytoks)
\stopluacode
-- this works
\startluacode
context(tex.toks.mytoks)
\stopluacode
\stoptext
Why does the first call to tex.toks.mytoks fail?
Apparently the luacode environment has to be closed for cmd to be
expanded. I guess that the call to mymacro() succeeds is a quirk due
to the face that the macro is expanded later, in contrast to tokens,
dimens and counters.
Is there a command I can use within Lua to expand a macro
immediately or to expand the pending macros to be able to access the
values like the token register in the example?
Another question which is related:
Is there a way to access the contents of the macro from within Lua
like counters and token registers?
\starttext
\newtoks\mytoks
\mytoks={Foobar}
\startluacode
local tok = tex.toks.mytoks
-- something like this is what I have in mind
-- local mac = tex.macros.somemacro
\stopluacode
\stoptext
I am just interested in a text string, not a box with typeset
material. I guess that's more difficult, since macros are expanded
and not just simply read.

Re: [NTG-context] TeX expansion within lua
On 2012-09-04 Wolfgang Schuster wolfgang.schus...@gmail.com wrote: What prevents you from setting the dimen value in Lua? Some background: The code is part of a smarter float placement. It takes the size of the float into account and decides for a location. For example, it positions the float in the margin if it fits or it prints the caption underneath the float if the float spans the margin as well (captions are in the margin by default in this layout). Most of the code is written in TeX and I don't feel it's necessary to rewrite it in Lua. I am more fluent in TeX than in Lua. In this case a TeX helper function computes the size and saves the results in dimen registers. I use Lua for calculations especially when it comes to dimensions. It's a nightmare in TeX and hard to find errors easily creep in.

[NTG-context] Automatic margin floats using the criterium parameter
Hi,
I am working on some float placement code for a project. To
not reinvent the wheel I like to know what is currently possible in
ConTeXt.
Small floats should be placed in the margin and bigger ones centred
in the text. Captions always go into the margin. That is the idea.
The key to automate this seems to be the \setupfloat[criterium=…]
parameter. Details:
1) Captions always in the margin
2) Captions left aligned
3) Figures smaller or equal \marginwidth go into the outer margin
4) Margin figures are aligned to the inner side of the margin
5) Margin figure captions underneath the figure
6) Figures wider than the margin go centred into the text
7) Text figure captions top aligned
I got almost everything working. A minimal example is attached.
Problems:
Mf 1-2 are placed correctly. Problematic are Mf 3-4. The caption is
not placed in the margin because of the
\setupcaptions
[mf]
[location=bottom]
setting for margin figures. Another thing is the weird alignment of
Mf 3-4, I expect the figures to be centred. The reason is the
following setting.
\setupfloat
[mf]
[location=inner]
If uncommented, the alignment of the margin figures is wrong. Figure
1-2 are examples of how it should look like.
I could come up with a hackish solution on my own but maybe someone
has an idea how to achieve this with built-in support.

To not reinvent the wheel I like to know what is currently possible in ConTeXt. fyi: As I often need conditional placement in projects (mostly width related), it's likely that there will be a pluggable system some day I already consider the entire float mechanism very flexible and feature rich. It's somewhat complicated by the fact that one has to decide what to do with delayed placement. I'm quite happy with the placement in general. The exact problem here is that if the \setupfloat[criterium=…] value is exceeded, it seems that ConTeXt adjusts the values “location” and “default” to place the float in the text. A solution would be to be able to state a fallback float class in case criterium is exceeded. Idea: \definefloat [marginfigure] [marginfigures] \definefloat [marginfigurefallback] [marginfiguresfallbacks] [marginfigure] \setupfloat [marginfigure] [criterium=\marginwidth, criteriumfallback=marginfigurefallback] This way full control is being maintained, since the float and caption style of the fallback class can be individually adjusted.

[NTG-context] Promotion of the ConTeXt IRC channel
Hi, I was wandering if we should promote the ConTeXt IRC channel on the contextgarden home page, e.g. underneath “Welcome to ConTeXt garden” or “External Help”. The current page (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/IRC) is unlikely to be found by anyone. I think most questions should stay on the mailing list, since I consider the mailing list almost as “the second ConTeXt manual” and it can easily be searched, in contrast to IRC. At the moment the channel is dead, which is probably due to the fact that no one knows of its existence. But it might turn into a valuable source of information, e.g. regarding installation problems for which the mailing list might not be as suitable.

Re: [NTG-context] Referring to multiple elements
2012-09-14 Sietse Brouwer sbbrou...@gmail.com:
Hi Sietse,
I'm sorry for my late reply.
The heart of what you need is a lua function that will take an array
of numbers, and return an array of consective-number runs, like so:
[…]
I've written one below, plus the scaffolding required to feed it the
right input, and print its output to ConTeXt.
I wonder if this function is not already present in ConTeXt. The
register mechanism, for instance, already does something very
similar:
\setupregister
[index]
[compress=yes]
\starttext
A\index{A} \page
A\index{A} \page
aaa\page
bbb\page
A\index{A} \page
A\index{A} \page
A\index{A}
\placeindex %% = A 1-2, 5-7
\stoptext
Only two functions still need writing --- one to turn the context
argument [fig:f1, fig:f2, fig:f4] into a lua array of strings, and
one to turn each reference string into a figure number.
I'm quite sure that all the building blocks are already present. I'm
not sure about the case when the float number is preceded by a
chapter number.
If you're not comfortable with programming LuaTeX, say so and I can
fill in the two missing functions sometime this weekend. But they
should be doable, really.
Someone with more expertise and knowledge about the ConTeXt
internals should be able to point to the relevant functions. I guess
the code that produces the index compression is located in
registers.flush() in strc-reg.lua, but apparently it's not a
function and I don't know if it can be adopted for the float
referencing.
(And, of course, you may be far more experienced in LuaTeX than I,
I don't know.)
Probably not. I can read and write simple Lua scripts, but I lack
knowledge about the LuaTeX and ConTeXt internals and the data
structures used. For LuaTeX there is a manual that explains a lot,
but it doesn't help figuring out how ConTeXts float referencing
mechanism works.
Thanks for the work you spend on this. I don't need this function
for the current project (I use the workaround), but I would like to
see this feature in ConTeXt. If you have time and expertise to
implement this, it would be great. Otherwise I'll do the range
referencing manually.
Regards
Marco

when \unit is used just with a unit, without a number, the spacing
at the left is wrong.
Still the same in 2012.09.16 23:18, it doesn't seem that hard to
fix. Maybe just an if-statement to check if the number is provided
and add a space in that case.
So I checked the sources and saw that it might be a feature to
support the syntax with the number not included in the \unit call
(is anyone actually using this syntax?):
3 \unit{micro mol per second}
\unit{3 micro mol per second}
I guess it's hard to check whether there is a number provided before
the \unit command from inside \unit.
Any ideas? It renders it much less useful if it only works with a
unit *and* a number.

[NTG-context] Bibliography, unicode strings, @ELECTRONIC, sorting and bibtex
Hi, I have some questions regarding the bibliography. 1) The style files bibl-ams.tex, bibl-ssa.tex, etc contain strings like ``, ~. This does not make sense to me. The `` ends up like that in the output and the tilde might interfere with the \asciimode setting. Wouldn't it be better to use the proper Unicode glyphs (U+201C, U+00A0, etc.) nowadays? I assume the files are old MkII files and not being updated since. Example: \setupbibtex [database=sample] \setuppublications [alternative=ssa] \starttext \cite[hh2010a] \cite[Eijkhout1991] \cite[hh2010] \placepublications [criterium=cite] \stoptext 2) The @ELECTRONIC type does not work (already mentioned in the wiki). It does not show up in the references list. I guess no one bothered adding them and it's up to me to add the corresponding entries. Maybe someone has already prepared a working file for the APA style? 3) How to sort the bibliography by author? According to the bib manual I expected this to work: \setupbibtex [database=sample] \setuppublications [alternative=apa, criterium=cite, sort=author] \starttext \cite[hh2010a] \cite[Eijkhout1991] \placepublications \stoptext 4) \completepublications produces an empty page. Is that intended? \setupbibtex [database=sample] \setuppublications [alternative=ssa, criterium=cite] \starttext \cite[hh2010a] \completepublications \stoptext 5) (side question) What is BibTeX used for in ConTeXt? As far as I can see, it reads the .bib database and generates a .bbl file which then is read in by ConTeXt. Why do we need an external tool for this?

Re: [NTG-context] Bibliography, unicode strings, @ELECTRONIC, sorting and bibtex
2012-09-18 Schmitz Thomas A. thomas.schm...@uni-bonn.de: Hi Thomas The problem is that users of bibtex in ConTeXt are a minority, and users of such precooked styles a tiny minority With a handful of up-to-date working common citation styles citations would be much more easy. But I get your point. I use bibtex quite often, but wouldn't know how to fix these styles and have never used them. So if you're sure about what to do, fix them and send Hans a patch. Frankly, I'm no expert in those things. The bibliographies I created so far were quick and dirty, I didn't have the time to create proper styles or repair the shipped ones.

As far as I can see, it reads the .bib database and generates a .bbl file which then is read in by ConTeXt. Why do we need an external tool for this? Why does ConTeXt not read in the .bib database and directly save it as a Lua table? Because nobody has coded that part yet? This may not be as easy as you make it sound because quite a few heuristics go into parsing bibtex files (e.g., look at the way in which bibtex divides names into first name, last name, von-part, jr-part). I'm aware of that. So it basically boils down to the fact that bibliographies are not popular among ConTeXt users (including Hans) and therefore much functionality is not properly implemented or cared for. And BibTeX is used since it understands the semantics of bib files, although a pure ConTeXt/Lua solution would be possible. Without BibTeX this functionality would be missing since no one is willing to implement a parser for .bib databases.

Hi,
inside a TEXpage the tolerance and the whitespace settings are not

be set directly with \spaceskip, but that seems a bit hackish.
Is that intended and is there a cleaner solution? Example:
\setuplayout [width=8cm]

\startsetups [myset]
\setupwhitespace [big]
\setuptolerance [space]

Re: [NTG-context] \define a command with square-bracket arguments
2012-09-27 Sietse Brouwer sbbrou...@gmail.com:
Hi Sietse,
As I understand it, \define[2] is preferred over \def#1#2 because it
refuses to overwrite existing commands.
\define overwrites existing commands with pleasure. In contrast to
\def it prints a message to the log file: “\mycommand is already
defined”.
Can I use \define, or a related command, to define a command that
takes square-bracket arguments, like so:
\mycommand[...][...]
\def\mycommand
{\dodoubleempty\domycommand}
\def\domycommand [#1][#2]
{first: #1, second: #2}
\mycommand [foo] [bar]
\mycommand [foo][bar]
\mycommand [foo]
Question for the others: What's the difference of \dodoubleargument
and \dodoubleempty? I expected \dodoubleargument to throw an error
since the arguments are supposed to be mandatory.

Re: [NTG-context] Referring to multiple elements
2012-09-28 Sietse Brouwer sbbrou...@gmail.com:
Hi Sietse,
\in{figure}[alpha,beta,gamma]
This outputs “figure 1”. What I'd like to have is “figure 1-3”.
The attached quasi-module seems to do it! On my computer, at least. (I
call it 'quasi' because it is really nothing more than code in a file
of its own.No configurability whatsoever, except to the extent that I
tried to comment well, and split things up into functions.) I'd have
written it so that it properly identifies runs like '1.2.1, 1.2.2,
1.2.3', too, but I can't find a function that will turn reference
strings into such a prefixed strings.
I hope it does what you want! Let me know if you want/need any
alterations, or discover bugs.
Thanks a lot for that. I'd adjust the interface, so that it matches
the behaviour of \in:
\def\inrange
{\dodoublegroupempty\doinrange}
\def\doinrange#left#right#dummy[#label]
{\iffirstargument
{#left }%%
\fi
\ctxlua{userdata.inwithranges(#label)}%%
\ifsecondargument
{#right}%%
\fi}
Then you can write:
See \inrange{figures} [fig:a,fig:c,fig:d,fig:e,fig:g,fig:x,fig:h]
See \inrange{figures}{TT} [fig:a,fig:c,fig:d,fig:e,fig:g,fig:x,fig:h]
See \inrange [fig:a,fig:c,fig:d,fig:e,fig:g,fig:x,fig:h]
Maybe worth mentioning: You need the additional module
`showtable.lua` from http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.context/78336

Re: [NTG-context] Wrong results for chemical structures and reactions

Hi Alan
chemical structures and reactions produce wrong results. Here is one
example from the wiki and two from the manual.
[…]
\startchemicalformula
not
\startformula
\startchemicalformula
\chemical{2H_2}
\chemical{PLUS}
\chemical{O_2}
\chemical{GIVES}
\chemical{2H_2O}
\stopchemicalformula
The spacing is still wrong. Compare:
\starttext
\chemical{2H_2,+,O_2,-,2H_2O}\blank
\startchemicalformula
\chemical{2H_2}
\chemical{PLUS}
\chemical{O_2}
\chemical{GIVES}
\chemical{2H_2O}
\stopchemicalformula
\stoptext
How to mid-align the reaction? Wrapping the \startchemicalformula in
\startformula works, but it's clumsy.
Also, the shorthand + for PLUS, - for GIVES, etc.
seems to be interpreted only inline, not in displayed chemical formula
mode.
I am working (with Hans) to correct the mkiv chemical code,
which has been completely re-written (from ppchTeX macros).
Also working on a new manual, at the same time...
That's brilliant!

Re: [NTG-context] Wrong results for chemical structures and reactions
2012-10-02 Alan BRASLAU alan.bras...@cea.fr:
Try the following:
\starttext
\startchemicalformula
\chemical{2H_2}
\chemical{+}
\chemical{O_2}
\chemical{-}
\chemical{2H_2O}
\stopchemicalformula
\chemical{-} is not rendered correctly.
\startchemicalformula
\chemical{2H_2}
\chemical{PLUS}
\chemical{O_2}
\chemical{GIVES}
\chemical{2H_2O}
\stopchemicalformula
The spacing is wrong. The following yields to better spacing:
\startchemicalformula
\chemical{2H_2}
\chemical{PLUS}
\chemical{}
\chemical{O_2}
\chemical{GIVES}
\chemical{}
\chemical{2H_2O}
\stopchemicalformula
\startchemicalformula
\chemical{A}
\chemical{GIVES}
\chemical{B}
\chemical{EQUILIBRIUM}
\chemical{C}
\chemical{MESOMERIC}
\chemical{D}
\stopchemicalformula
Same spacing problem, workaround: \chemical{}
\setupchemical
[width=fit,
height=fit,
scale=small,
size=small]
\hbox{
\startchemical
\chemical[ONE,Z0,DB1,SB46,MOV1,Z0,SB28][C,C]
\stopchemical
\startchemicalformula
\chemical{PLUS}
\stopchemicalformula
\startchemical
\chemical[ONE,Z0,SB146,Z6][N,H]
\stopchemical

\chemical{GIVES}
\stopchemicalformula
\startchemical
\chemical[ONE,Z07,SB1357,MOV1,Z0,SB27,MOV2,Z0,SB13][C,H,C,N]
\stopchemical
}
Worse than before.
3. I believe that the syntax should be rationalized, but I will have to
discuss this further with Hans. Normally, commands have keywords
between [] and text to be typeset between {}. This would mean
\startchemical
\chemical[ONE,Z0,SB146,Z6]{N}{H}
\stopchemical
Alternatively:
\startchemical
\chemical[ONE,Z0=N,SB146,Z6=H]
\stopchemical
but currently this puts N and H into lowercase as n and h
as a side effect of the way that Hans wrote the lua code.
If you redo the syntax: My suggestion would be to try to reduce the
use of the string “chemical” if that's feasible.
How to deal with inline equations, as in \chemical{2H_2,+,O_2,-,2H_2O}?
I would think that it could work as does math mode:
\chemical{2H_2 + O_2 - 2H_2O} (no commas) with spaces (or none)
delimiting the keywords.
That looks more practical.
Hans will have to answer me on this. We need to be a bit patient,
I don't need that now. For the current project all structures look
fine (ugly hacks included :). You may consider my comments above
when you (or Hans) are redoing the code. Thanks for the
\startchemicalformula hint, that was the missing piece.
as I'm sure that he is currently VERY busy preparing for EuroTeX 2012!
Sure. Unfortunately I cannot come, I can't get a week off and for
1-2 days it's too far.

To refer to a table, you place it as a float and use the

Re: [NTG-context] defineindenting

Many thanks! The wiki says it is used to define a collection of

other paragraphs the first line of the first paragraph in a chapter,
so your solution is unfortunately not exactly what I mean.
To indent the first line you can use
\setupindenting [yes, 2cm]
That, however, is not configurable. And frankly I've never seen
varying paragraph indentations in a document. If you really need it
you can build a wrapper around this.
\def\defineindenting
{\dodoubleempty\dodefineindenting}
\def\dodefineindenting [#1][#2]
{\setvalue{#1}{\setupindenting[yes, #2]}}

Re: [NTG-context] align and location in \setupcombination

In the output of the following sample, figures are left flushed.
I found some discussions about the align and location in \setupcombination.
align= is for caption and location=middle is for figures' location.
But align=worked while location= has no effect at all.
location is the vertical location of the element within the
combination. Compare:
\startcombination[2*1]
{\externalfigure[dummy][height=1cm]}{aa}
{\externalfigure[dummy][height=4cm]}{bb}
\stopcombination
\setupcombination
[location=middle]
\startcombination[2*1]
{\externalfigure[dummy][height=1cm]}{aa}
{\externalfigure[dummy][height=4cm]}{bb}

\placefigure[][]{}.

{\externalfigure[dummy][]}{bb}

With the new beta you can replace
\midaligned{…}
with
\startmidaligned
…
\stopmidaligned
I already noted that. I appreciate the movement to a more uniform
\start…\stop syntax.
Just a random thought: Would it be possible or even make sense to
uniform the syntax even further and maybe merge the functionality
into \startalignment? At the moment we have one command with an
argument for alignments:
\startalignment [right|middle|left]
\input knuth
\stopalignment
however three different command for boxed alignments (furthermore,
\startrightaligned works just the opposite of \startalignment[right]):
\startrightaligned
FooBar
\stoprightaligned
\startmidaligned
FooBar
\stopmidaligned
\startleftaligned
FooBar
\stopleftaligned
This might be easy to remember for us who still know the
\midaligned{} syntax, but I guess for new users it's confusing.
Additionally, the difference between the commands is unclear. What
about an interface like this:
\startlinealignment [right|middle|left]
FooBar
\stoplinealignment
Taking this one step further would be to merge both into one
command:
\startalignment [align=left, alternative=???]
\input knuth
\stopalignment
\startalignment [align=left, alternative=!!!]
FooBar
\stopalignment

Re: [NTG-context] Search path for .tex files (mkiv)
2012-10-30 John Devereux:
What is the correct way to set or modify the search path for tex files?
I want to make it mode-dependent. For example, for figures I have
something like
\doifmode{en}
{\def\FigDirLanguage{fig/lang_en}\def\DocumentSuffix{EN}\mainlanguage[en]}
\doifmode{de}
{\def\FigDirLanguage{fig/lang_de}\def\DocumentSuffix{DE}\mainlanguage[de]}
[...]
\setupexternalfigures[directory={fig,{\FigDirLanguage},{../fig},{../\FigDirLanguage}}]
I want to be able to do for example
\input disclaimer
You can either trigger on the language or on the mode. The directory
structure looks like this
text/en/alpha.tex
text/en/beta.tex
text/de/alpha.tex
text/de/beta.tex
images/en
images/de
You can create the individual files as components and create a
product file:
\startproduct *
\mainlanguage [de]
\project [project]
\component [a]
\component [b]
\stopproduct
and a project file:
\startproject *
\startmode [*en]
\usepath
[text/en]
\setupexternalfigures
[directory={images/en}]
\stopmode
\startmode [*de]
\usepath
[text/de]
\setupexternalfigures
[directory={images/de}]
\stopmode
\stopproject
To trigger by language, you use *en, *de, etc. To trigger by mode,
you use the mode name, in that case you can move the \mainlanguage
call to the corresponding language setup.

Yes, combine \usepath with the \startmodeset syntax that Wolfgang suggested and you should have a clean solution. I don't quite understand your overall structure. You're right. Without file names it's hard to follow, especially with the mistake I made. Is the * a literal * with some special meaning, or are you using it as a placeholder for something? It is a literal `*`. That means that the file name will be used as a component (or product) name. I am not using the project/product/component system, perhaps I should look into it again. Hmmm, alpha.tex defines component a, beta.tex defines b, is that right? No, that's my fault. Of course they have to match.

Re: [NTG-context] scripts
2012-11-01 Uwe Koloska: There is stability in that /bin/sh always must be a (posix compatible) bourne (not again) style shell! True * rewrite the scripts to be truly posix and use #! /bin/sh (the dash links from another mail may help) * leave the scripts alone with all their bashisms and declare them with #! /bin/bash My advice on this is: in all shellscripts you write, declare the shell that you are testing the script with -- so on most linux systems (and in windows unix environments like msys) use /bin/bash and only change this to /bin/sh if you have to. I do it the other way. Always write /bin/sh compatible scripts (actually first-setup.sh uses /bin/sh) and resort to /bin/bash if bash specific features save considerable effort. For example to make it compatible to a minimal system (a jeos VM comes to mind) that is not supposed to provide /bin/bash. FreeBSD comes without bash installed by default. The point is that it's easy for shell scripts like first-setup.sh that can easily declare the shell in the she-bang line. But setuptex cannot start a new well-defined shell since it's supposed to modify the current environment. That's why setuptex is sourced instead of executed. That however implies that setuptex has to conform to the current shell, which is unknown and needs to be guessed without relying on anything the shell might not provide.

[NTG-context] Highlight current chapter in list
Hi!
How do I highlight the current chapter in the table of contents? The
TOC is displayed on each page. For illustration I misused the
interaction colour, which of course only works for the first page of
a chapter.
\setupheadertexts
[\setups{headlist}]
\startsetups [headlist]
\framed[align=normal, frame=off]
{\placelist [chapter] [alternative=f, criterium=all]}
\stopsetups
\setupinteraction
[state=start,
color=lightgray,
contrastcolor=darkgreen]
\starttext
\startchapter [title=alpha] \stopchapter
\startchapter [title=beta] \page\input knuth \stopchapter
\startchapter [title=gamma] \stopchapter
\stoptext

Hi Wolfgang!
\startsetups [headlist]
\framed[align=normal, frame=off]
{\placelist [chapter] [alternative=highlight, criterium=all]}
\stopsetups
\definelistalternative
[highlight]
[renderingsetup=list:highlight]
I like the flexibility of renderingsetups for \defineheadalternative,
but frankly, I didn't know they can be used for lists as well and
I was clueless about the best place to hook into.
\startsetups [list:highlight]
\par
\startlinealignment[middle]
\doifelse{\fetchmark[chapter][first]}{\currentlistentrytitle}
%\doifelse{\fetchmark[chapter][first]}{\ctxcommand{listtitle(\currentlist,\currentlistindex)}}
{\color[red] {\currentlistentrytitle}}
{\color[blue]{\currentlistentrytitle}}
\stoplinealignment
\par
\stopsetups
That's a neat and clean solution. Thanks Wolfgang.

2012-11-08 Hans Hagen:
the next beta has: \namedstructureheadlocation{name}
so that you can compare
\currentlistentrylocation
with
\namedstructureheadlocation{chapter}
Thanks Hans.
Best document this before we forget about it.
I assume that's my part, right? I'll extend or add a wiki page the
weekend after the beta is released.
