I was recently debugging some presentation that I was working on in
ConTeXt and found, to my surprise, that the problem was that I was using
\usemodule[blah-blah]
but there was no such module called blah-blah. The output does indeed
say that there was no such module, but I didn't see that. Is there a
way to set up modules so that, if a module isn't found, an error is
generated and the TeX run is stopped? I would have discovered the
source of my problem more quickly had I been able to set things up in
that way.
Hello,
While the problem of silently ignoring the invalid options is indeed
hard to solve and would require rewritting more or less the whole
ConTeXt, issuing an error if module is not found is probably doable
and I would highly support that idea.
I often have that problem as well, but the program usually dies
anyway, with something like
\starttikzpicture - command undefined
a few lines below from where I would expect it to die, so I kind of
know what to do (install a module or switch to a different
distribution).
If user writes \usemodule[this-or-that], he probably wants it to be
loaded. Plain TeX does complain if user says \input this-or-that if
this-or-that.tex is not found.
In connection with that question ... The gnuplot module uses this
command to compile graphics:
\executesystemcommand{texmfstart --direct gnuplot\space\GNUPLOTfile.plt}
Is there a nice way to check what value gnuplot returns and to make
TeX stop at that point (offering the user to press enter and continue)
on gnuplot failure?
Thanks a lot,

[NTG-context] epstopdf oddity?
Dear All,
I have some small diagrams I created with MetaPost in 2005. Just
recently I wanted to re-run the build of the PDF. It produced a PDF
but the typography looks awful. so I compared (diff) with the previous
intermediate files and found that the EPS files produced by the mpost
run are identical up to timestamps and that it's only the last step
epstopdf that uglifies the output. I'm suspecting the fault to be with
the ghostscript or the font installation. Maybe someone here has seen
this and knows the fix?
One of the diagrams is below.
Thanks for all hints and best regards,

\headtext {abbreviations} for both. With --pdf I get a list of
abbreviations and the bookmark text is abbreviations. Here's a
minimal example:
\setupheadtext[en][abbreviations={Abbreviations Used in This Document}]
\abbreviation{CSS}{Cascading Style Sheets}
\setupinteraction
[state=start,
menu=on]
\placebookmarks[chapter]
\starttext
\startbodymatter
\CSS\ stands for \infull{CSS}.
\stopbodymatter
\startbackmatter
\completelistofabbreviations
\stopbackmatter
\stoptext
$ context test.tex
seems to work ok here with latest minimals,
or I don't understand the problem .

Hi Taco,
Sorry for the typo and for not being clear. I meant the following. I know that
scaled command can be used to scale any particular component. To scale the
whole picture does one have to scale each and every component individually, or
is there one command that scales every component.
One way is perhaps to define a variable, say u=1cm and express all measurements
in terms of u. Then by changing just u one can scale the whole picture (and
all the components) up or down. Is there another way? For example, in TikZ there
is a command scale which scales the entire picture if put as an option to
\begin{tikzpicture}. I was wondering if something like that is available in
Metapost too.

Hi,
I use the method of
u=1mm;
in the beginning and then use u as the unit.
I think currentpicture is what you are after otherwise, but not sure.

[NTG-context] Installing custom fonts?
Hello List,
I'm also part of the design group Open Source Publishing (like Femke who ask
about same entry to multiple registers a month ago). Our book is building,
and it's now time to add our own custom open fonts. Quite new in the TeX
field, and having traveled a bit through LaTex and Xetex, I couln't figure
how to make it work. I guess that the TeX way of doing it is to write a map
file, but maybe is it possible to avoid it, like with the Xetex shortcut?
I'm using texexec or texexec --xtx to compile my files (without problems) on
Ubuntu Gutsy. I'm also able to use the font in other software, Inkscape by
example.
But when I add this code :
\definetypeface[InitiationRitualFont][rm][Xserif][Initiated]
\setupbodyfont[InitiationRitualFont, 12pt]
\starttext
Hello List!
\stoptext
I've this error returned :
! Font \*InitiationRitualFont12ptrmtfrm*:='mapping=tex-text at 12.0pt' not
lo

\...
argument \getvalue {...@style@ \fontstyle }
\edef \fontstyle {\fontstyle
}\if...
...
l.2 \setupbodyfont[InitiationRitualFont, 12pt]
I've tried with :
- different names
- different places
- with or without the extension in the name
- with ttf or otf version of the font
- with other fonts
But maybe the problem is elsewhere and I clearly not well understand the
intrications Context - Xetex - pdftex - TeX - texexec... I've search in the
mailinglist archive and in the Wikigarden... Maybe to use something
different than texexec?
Many thanks.

You forgot to list one thing:
- with a different ConTeXt version
Well ... joke aside. I'm not sure what to tell you since I'm not sure
what ConTeXt version you are using. I'm afraid that if you take a more
recent version you'll also have some problems because of to too old
XeTeX version and/or because of to too old Latin Modern version.
I would suggest you to at least try the ConTeXt minimals. You can
install and try them without breaking anything on your computer. See:
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals
But the version that you use is almost hopeless unless you use
low-level font switching commands (that's also an option). XeTeX
high-level support has been completely broken in past for at least
half a year if not longer.
If you need ConTeX for production there's one thing that you need to
be warned about: keep backups of any installation that works for you
and do not update until you have to.

Re: [NTG-context] problem with two columns on a page
Jelle Huisman wrote:
Hi,
I'm typesetting a dictionary using \startcolumns[n=2,balance=yes] to get
balanced columns. I have 26 balanced columns with simple headers in
between and a lot of situations with two columns on one page. (see
example). As long as the number of lines of the first columns (AA) is
fewer than a certain value around 20 the next columns (BB) will be
placed on the same page, but if there are more lines from the first
columns they push the second columns to the next page. Is there a way to
control this behavior, I would like to be able to keep this second
columns starting on this page even if there are only 5 lines of text
available for it. (using MkII)
\starttext
\showgrid
\startalignment[center] AA \stopalignment\blank
\startcolumns[n=2,balance=yes]
\dorecurse{40}{a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a } % this works
%\dorecurse{42}{a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a } % this
pushes columns (BB) to the next page
\stopcolumns
\startalignment[center] BB \stopalignment\blank
\startcolumns[n=2,balance=yes]
\dorecurse{100}{b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b }
\stopcolumns
\stoptext
the problem is that the paragraph is larger than two columns and that's
tricky to handle without too much messing around (i'll redo the balancer
in mkiv once i've arrived at it; i see where the catch takes place but
i'd rather not touch the mkii code now)
so, what you can do is trigger the otr before columns end
add \penalty\outputpenalty just before \stopcolumns

Re: [NTG-context] How to use my own BibTeX style (bst)?
Wei-Wei Guo wrote:
Compare those two results:
- Chinese citation uses '等' instead of 'et al'.
- Chinese bibliography uses '和' instead of 'and'.
Of course, the comparison is not complete.
My question: Since I can write 'bibl-my-en.tex' for English entries and
'bibl-my-zh.tex' for Chinese entries, can I use both of them when I have
both English and Chinese citations in one paper? If not, could you give some
advises about how to implement it?
The short answer is no.
The long answer: although you cannot make it depend on the language
of the citation, you can make it change depending on an explicit
language switch. This takes a bit of work, but it is better than
nothing, I guess.
Here is how:
* first, edit the bibl-my file so that it contains calls to
\labeltext{} instead of literal tests, for example:
\setupcite
[authoryears]
[andtext={ \labeltext{and} },
otherstext={ \labeltext{etal}},
% many more are needed, of course
you can invent wnatever you like in the argument of \labeltext,
because you will define them in the next step.
* second, define all the label texts you used in the previous
step for the all languages you need. Short example:
\setuplabeltext[en][etal={et al.}, and={and}]
\setuplabeltext[cn][etal={等},and={和}]
* third, you now need to do a \mainlanguage switch before every \cite
that does not use the main language of your paper. So assuming
your paper is uses \mainlanguage[cn], then you need to create
a definition like this for the english citations:
\def\encite[#1]{{\mainlanguage[en]\cite[#1]}}
and you have to use \encite[article=full] in your paper.
that takes care of the citations in the running text of your paper.
For the publication list:
* first, you have to redefine one of the t-bib macros.
The new definition of \lang (to be put in your setup) should become
\unprotect
\def\lang#1%
{\def\biblanguage{#1}%
\ifcsname \??pb @l...@#1\endcsname
\expanded{\mainlanguage[\getvalue{\??pb @l...@#1}]}%
\expanded{\language[\getvalue{\??pb @l...@#1}]}%
\fi \ignorespaces}
\protect
* two, you have to a language field to each bibtex data item.
* three, you need a \setbiblanguage command for every language name
that appears in your bib file. This will connect \lang arguments
to context language keys.
For example:
\setbiblanguage{chinese}{cn}
\setbiblanguage{english}{en}
you may need a few of those, depending on how consistent your
bibtex data is.
After all of that, it will probably work, in most cases. Incidentally,
one of the reasons why the bib modules doesn't do this is because all
of that mucking about with \mainlanguage not very nice. Another is that
a simple string replacement is usually not sufficient to have proper
localization. A third reason is that many publishers want to have
citation data in the language of the paper, regardless of the
language of the cited publications.
For completeness' I have attached my example again, with all these
points applied.
Best wishes,
Taco

The \font method let you use your font only in the style and size you set with the setting but nothing else. ConTeXt's system creates commands to let you switch the style (italic, bold ...) and the size (\tfx, \tfa ...) and you can use them to create new styles certain elements like header. With \setupbodyfont you take also care to have the same font for header/footertexts, footnotes etc. To summarize this, don't use \font unless you really know what you do and even then use ConTeXt's \definefont command.

(ok, might hav eother side effects
It does indeed not do what I expected. One final try: is there some
sort of setting for the number of lines allowed in a column that
triggers the OTR, so that I could tweak that? Or is it hard coded and
will it break everything?
where did you put the penalty?
Right before \stopcolumns, as you suggested.
\starttext
\showgrid
\startalignment[center] AA \stopalignment\blank
\startcolumns[n=2,balance=yes]
%\dorecurse{40}{a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a } % this works
\dorecurse{42}{a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a } % this
pushes columns (BB) to the next page
\penalty\outputpenalty
\stopcolumns
\startalignment[center] BB \stopalignment\blank
\startcolumns[n=2,balance=yes]
\dorecurse{100}{b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b }
\penalty\outputpenalty
\stopcolumns
\stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] problem with two columns on a page
Hans, I've read in this thread that you're going to work on columns some day. Could you pay some attention to multicolumn itemizations? Currently they *must* be [packed], which is a serious restriction for me (I can put some struts, but it's not very comfortable nor elegant...)

Maybe the version string is written out when you compile a document, or you can take a look at .../tex/context/base/context.tex But that information is not really important now. You tried \definetypeface[InitiationRitualFont][rm][Xserif][InitiationRitualFont]? ConTeXt+XeTeX font support was completely broken at some point. As you differenciate the low-level font switching commands and the high-level one (like Xetex), is the low-level the one that needs to write a map file (tree)? Sorry for that question which may seem *very* basic! No, she means \font\initiation=InitiationRitualFont. Right. Well, maybe some other commands like \definefontsynonym[Serif][FontName] could work as well, but that depends a bit on how broken the ConTeXt version is. I also wanted to say that it might be interesting to try luatex, but one still needs to be prepared for surprizes. If MKII satisfies their needs, it would be most safe to keep a version that's compatible with both.

Cool, but will it be included in context source? Or it is too early?
I think that such solutions are too fragile. A robust way will be to use
a complete mediawiki (or any other markup) parser. It one in lua is
available, integrating it to ConTeXt will be easy. If not, we can still
have an external file based route. For some time I have been thinking
about a module using which I can do
\definemarkup[RST][command={pandoc -r rst -w context}]
\startRST
Write anything here in restructured text syntax here. For example
- Two syntaxes for tables_:
1. `Grid tables`_; complete, but complex and verbose::
+++--+
| Header row, column 1 | Header 2 | Header 3 |
+++==+
| body row 1, column 1 | column 2 | column 3 |
+++--+
| body row 2 | Cells may span|
++---+
2. `Simple tables`_; easy and compact, but limited::
== ==
Header row, column 1 Header 2Header 3
== ==
body row 1, column 1 column 2column 3
body row 2Cells may span columns
==
\stopRST
Such a module will also provide a quick and dirty way of writing simple
presentations. Any takers for writings such a module (basically just
copying the R module a bit).

[NTG-context] Let's Polish the math!
Hi, how to do this: here in Poland we have some conventions as for typesetting math; for example, we don't use \leq, but \leqslant; we don't write tan for tangent, but tg; we don't write arcsin, but arc\,sin; etc. Would it be possible to have such typographic conventions (I could provide a more comprehensive list, of course) enabled by \mainlanguage[pl]? A related problem is dashes; where the English use an em-dash without any spaces, the Polish use an en-dash with spaces of around 0.2em (the left one unbreakable, i.e., with \penalty1). Also, we put periods after section numbers, so no 1.2 Section, but rather 1.2. Section. What is the ConTeXt way to have such things for different languages?

Re: [NTG-context] How to use my own BibTeX style (bst)?
Thank you very much!
Best wishes,

Taco Hoekwater 写道:
The long answer: although you cannot make it depend on the language
of the citation, you can make it change depending on an explicit
language switch. This takes a bit of work, but it is better than
nothing, I guess.
Here is how:
* first, edit the bibl-my file so that it contains calls to
\labeltext{} instead of literal tests, for example:
\setupcite
[authoryears]
[andtext={ \labeltext{and} },
otherstext={ \labeltext{etal}},
% many more are needed, of course
you can invent wnatever you like in the argument of \labeltext,
because you will define them in the next step.
* second, define all the label texts you used in the previous
step for the all languages you need. Short example:
\setuplabeltext[en][etal={et al.}, and={and}]
\setuplabeltext[cn][etal={等},and={和}]
* third, you now need to do a \mainlanguage switch before every \cite
that does not use the main language of your paper. So assuming
your paper is uses \mainlanguage[cn], then you need to create
a definition like this for the english citations:
\def\encite[#1]{{\mainlanguage[en]\cite[#1]}}
and you have to use \encite[article=full] in your paper.
that takes care of the citations in the running text of your paper.
For the publication list:
* first, you have to redefine one of the t-bib macros.
The new definition of \lang (to be put in your setup) should become
\unprotect
\def\lang#1%
{\def\biblanguage{#1}%
\ifcsname \??pb @l...@#1\endcsname
\expanded{\mainlanguage[\getvalue{\??pb @l...@#1}]}%
\expanded{\language[\getvalue{\??pb @l...@#1}]}%
\fi \ignorespaces}
\protect
* two, you have to a language field to each bibtex data item.
* three, you need a \setbiblanguage command for every language name
that appears in your bib file. This will connect \lang arguments
to context language keys.
For example:
\setbiblanguage{chinese}{cn}
\setbiblanguage{english}{en}
you may need a few of those, depending on how consistent your
bibtex data is.
After all of that, it will probably work, in most cases. Incidentally,
one of the reasons why the bib modules doesn't do this is because all
of that mucking about with \mainlanguage not very nice. Another is that
a simple string replacement is usually not sufficient to have proper
localization. A third reason is that many publishers want to have
citation data in the language of the paper, regardless of the
language of the cited publications.
For completeness' I have attached my example again, with all these
points applied.
Best wishes,
Taco

[NTG-context] What does \c! means?
Dear all,
I'm reading the source file of t-bib. I find there are lots of '\c!', '\s!', and
'\v!'. What do they mean? I searched in wiki, TeXBook, ConTeXt manual, TeX
impatient,
and mail list. Those commands appear some times, but no explanation.
Another question is related the following codes from Taco (thank you, Taco).
There
are tokens like '\??pb @l...@`. What does it mean? Could you tell me, to get
deep
understanding, what to read or which part to read in TeXBook or some other
manuals.
I don't know what to search to find related topics.
\unprotect
\def\lang#1%
{\def\biblanguage{#1}%
\ifcsname \??pb @l...@#1\endcsname
\expanded{\mainlanguage[\getvalue{\??pb @l...@#1}]}%
\expanded{\language[\getvalue{\??pb @l...@#1}]}%
