[NTG-context] Setting the Non-Printable Area

[Markus Hubig]

Hi @all,

i like to include a logo on the top-right-edge on every page in my Document.
The pagesize is A4, but our printer could not print into the first 5mm from
the borders. Now the Logo get's cut on the top and on the right side while
printing.

I defined my layout like this:

-8

Don't use logos, they're outdated (and removed from MkIV), layers are  
better.


\definelayer[logo][width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight]

\setupbackgrounds[page][background=logo]

\setlayer[logo][preset=righttop,offset=5mm,state=repeat] 
{\externalfigure[logo]}

Ahh! Works nice, but now I have this logo just on the first site of my document.
How can I set this to be repeated on every page ... I structured my document
with environment -> project -> product -> component and I've put the layersetup
into my environment file.

[NTG-context] new beta

[Hans Hagen]

Hi,

I uploaded a new beta. Last week(ends) fixes are merged in.

There is also an experimental plain version (luatex-plain.tex which you 
can rename to luatex.tex if needed). That gives you a plain tex with 
stripped down context mkiv font support (only the minimal amount of lua 
files are loaded). Some more info (also about generating the related 
font database) can be found in in luatex-fonts.tex. Of course it's no 
replacement or context but it seems to work ok (we occasionally need 
plain tex for testing). It's also not related to the upcoming layered 
context (aka metatex).

[NTG-context] BachoTeX 2009: the final invitation!

[Taco Hoekwater]

   Dear GUST and BachoTeX Friends!

BachoTeX 2009 is mercilessly coming (http://gust.org.pl/bachotex/2009) :-)

We were able to negotiate an extension of the deadline to give the final
numbers
of the participants with the net effect to have the (well, not so)
early-bird-registrations
date to become now April 13th, Easter Monday, until midnight.

>From the conference page the following links are available:
-- payments info (behind the "Fees" link),
-- the registration form,
-- the current list of presentations (there are some abstracts
translations missing;
   work is under way),
-- the schedule framework (behind "Schedule").

Please note the following interesting events:
-- typography counseling (typographers present at the conference will
look at your
   works and will give invaluable advice -- please use the chance!),
-- the already traditional TeX Clinic (http://gust.org.pl/projects/klinika),
-- the opportunity to present your small works or samples at poster
session stands;
   time will be allocated to discuss them informally with other attendees,
-- BoF sessions on topics which surely will emerge during the conference,
-- a series of panel discussions:
   * TeX: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats (i.e., SWOT
analysis),
   * TeX: at a turning point, or at the crossroads?,
   * TeX distributions,
-- the 2009 TeX Pearls session (http://www.gust.org.pl/projects/pearls),
-- and, of course, singing and having some merry time at the bonfires or
inside the huts.

I also remind GUST members of the 2009 GUST Annual General meeting
(April 30th, Thursday,
http://www.gust.org.pl/bachotex/2009/agm.html).

Please come, bring your families with you, and enjoy the perhaps last
chance to
experience BachoTeX at Bachotek, as the Nicolas Copernicus University
seems to be
trying to sell the place, as today's (April 6th, 2009) local papers have it
in their headlines :-(

Waiting for you!

Jerzy Ludwichowski
(on behalf of the Organizing Committee)

This has nothing to do with Hans' beta. See
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.context/48892
but I'm clueless. The binaries have been compiled on Debian Etch. Does
pdfTeX work on your machine?

You need a different cplusplus runtime. Look for a linux package named
libstdc++5 or so something like that. Luatex 0.37 is using a dynamic
stdc++ library (next version will be static again)

Not today. Just "yum install libstdc++5" (or yast or urpmi or whatever

The attached patch adds Arabic coma, semicolon, full stop (used in Urdu)

Now, combined with glyph expansion, I don't get any overfull boxes.


Arabic-script microtypography is one of the cornerstones of the Oriental  
TeX project. We've been studying this matter for some time now:


Because of

a) the normal wide spacing around Arabic punctuation, and

b) the large size of Arabic punctuation relative to Latin,

I'm not sure that protrusion of Arabic-script punctuation is a good idea.  
It needs a lot of thought, and a lot of testing, before adding it to the  
system. As for glyph expansion, I don't see how that works at all with the  
current model, except perhaps with very horizontal fonts. But in that case  
all that's needed is smart tatweel, not glyph expansion. For hq fonts the  
current glyph expansion model will mess up the contextual connections.


Although one can certainly do things with the current model of protrusion  
and hz, we need more, much more. Khaled, send me some tests off-list and  
I'll examine them in light of the overall analysis as we prepare for  
adding Arabic microtypography support, hopefully pretty soon. Thanks  
plenty for the contributions, and

Arabic-script microtypography is one of the cornerstones of the Oriental 
TeX project. We've been studying this matter for some time now:


Because of

a) the normal wide spacing around Arabic punctuation, and

b) the large size of Arabic punctuation relative to Latin,

I'm not sure that protrusion of Arabic-script punctuation is a good 
idea. It needs a lot of thought, and a lot of testing, before adding it 
to the system. As for glyph expansion, I don't see how that works at all 
with the current model, except perhaps with very horizontal fonts. But 
in that case all that's needed is smart tatweel, not glyph expansion. 
For hq fonts the current glyph expansion model will mess up the 
contextual connections.


Although one can certainly do things with the current model of 
protrusion and hz, we need more, much more. Khaled, send me some tests 
off-list and I'll examine them in light of the overall analysis as we 
prepare for adding Arabic microtypography support, hopefully pretty 
soon. Thanks plenty for the contributions, and


ok; in the meantime i added his patches since they don't hurt

You don't need to compile the documents to be able to test. Just run
pdftex --version
(unless you excluded it already during the setup)

You can still try to compile luatex yourself.

I don't understand. Both files have the same md5sum (as well as same
size and timestamp of 31. March), 6b3ed056830bb3f7b2ac496f4909ab1f.

Does the installation folder (bin) refresh when you update minimals
(you can check by deleting everything inside bin :) :) :)?

[NTG-context] How to get the number of lines of a paragraph?

[Wei-Wei Guo]

Dear all,

I need to draw underlines under a paragraph. The number of underlines is
determined by the number of lines of the paragraph. For example:

If the paragraph have one line:

  text of paragraph, blur blur.
  --

If the paragraph have two lines:

  text of paragraph, blur blur blur blur blur blur blur blur
  --
  blur blur blur blur blur blur blur blur.
  --


Another question: How can I set the header of the pages of contents?

Thanks!

Best wishes,
Wei-Wei

OK, I understand why the binary in texmf-linux is still OK. Because
you didn't manage to update it with the new one. If you have your own
luatex binary, copy luatex into bin/texlua, disable updating bin
folder, update ConTeXt and finally copy your own luatex binary over
the one provided by the installation (texmf-linux/bin/luatex).

[NTG-context] Group together figure and table

[Michael Bynum]

I am trying to find a way to group together a table which lists values
in a figure that I have.  I would also like to keep seperate
references for each so I would rather not use a combination.  I saw
the \begingroup command while searching through the wiki, but I was
unable to determine what it does and it doesn't seem to do what I
need.  I also tried to setup a buffer, but that didn't ensure that the
table and figure were displayed sequentially.  Is there a way to do
this while keeping both references intact?  Thanks.

I wanted to try the font support together with latex but I have
problems to run mtxrun to build the font database.  

I'm not using the minimals or texlive but miktex. To use luatex I
have made a small texmf tree and a texmf.cnf which includes my
miktex texmf-trees. This works fine with normal files like tfm, sty
etc. But my system seems not to find lua-files: mtxrun loads
mtx-fonts.lua (which is in the same folder) but stops then and
claims "file not found". Could you tell me which environment
variable or texmf.cnf or whatever setting luatex/mtxrun use to track
down lua-files?

luatools --generate
mtxrun --script fonts 

if that does not work, you need a context installation

Indeed, more testing is needed, but since neither protrusion nor
expansion is on by default, I think it is safe to have them now so we
can do more testing and tune it later, when someone enables hz features,
he should no enough to judge himself about the quality of the result and
he can always turn it back off and will lose nothing.

I think the minimal font expansion, that we have, is very unlikely to be
noticed by the reader, but I completely agree that great care should be
taken, I've been reading some Arabic book few months ago and I'm pretty
sure they used the font expansion feature of InDesign because it was
very visible and annoying.

I was preparing some test files, when I accidentally removed all files
that I was working on recently, since I don't have a backup, it'll take
some time.

Does your texmf.cnf set LUAINPUTS? If not, setting it to

It seems that you want to hyphenate, but you don't want to see '-' .

Re: [NTG-context] How to get the number of lines of a paragraph?

[Wei-Wei Guo]

Wolfgang Schuster 写道:


Am 06.04.2009 um 17:17 schrieb Wei-Wei Guo:


Dear all,

I need to draw underlines under a paragraph. The number of underlines is
determined by the number of lines of the paragraph. For example:


\definetextbackground
  [underline]
  [location=text,
   alternative=1,
   background=,
   frame=off]

\starttext

\startunderline
\input knuth
\stopunderline

\stoptext



It is not what I want. First, the underline is too close to the text. I need
to be able to manipulate the distance between the underline and the text.
Second, the underline of the last line has the same length with the last
line of the text. The underlines should be all the same length.



Another question: How can I set the header of the pages of contents?


\setupheadtext[][content=...]

or

\title{...}
\placecontent



I don't mean the head of contents. I mean the header of the page, which is
the opposite concept to footer. It seems the head of the contents is not
treated as chapter. I tried \getmarking, but it doesn't work.

You can control the distances by setting up the params of
"currentpicture shifted" and linespace.

\stopunderline
  \stopbuffer

  \NC 中文论文题目： \NC \getbuffer[chinesetitle] \NC \NR

  \stoptabulate

Of cause, the codes do not work. Is there any alternative way?

[NTG-context] Flow Charts

[Alfredo Catalina]

I find the chart module great, it provides good results when typesetting
flow charts in many cases. However, sometimes when defining connection lines
the automatic routing feature is not able to find an optimal route and lines
intersect. I was wondering if there is an alternate way to define a
particular path for a specific connection. Instead of letting the module
doing that connection I would rather let it undefined and use some metapost
commands to do it. Is there an easy way to do it keeping the lines and
arrows setup?.

Thanks!
