You can define your own styles if needed and use the style=yourstyle
where this key is available:
\definealternativestyle[HeadStyle] [{\definedfont[Seravek-Regular at
16pt]\setupinterlinespace[line=18pt]}]
\setuphead[chapter][style=HeadStyle]

[NTG-context] file names
A while ago I posted a question about spaces etc. in file names in mkiv. Hans Hagen diligently remedied that point and now context typesets files with names like a/b, c and d/x.tex without complaining. I fear however, that there are places where that same code is not being used for opening files. One such place is the inclusion of externalfigures. Here a file a/b, c and d/x.jpg is not found. I would be very pleased if it becomes possible to have uniform behaviour in file names everywhere in context. So, if Hans is willing to have a look at it again... Thanks in advance, of course.

[NTG-context] (no subject)
Hello,
I'm working on a project to set up exams, basing the work on Aditya's
asignment class that was published in Practex in 2006.
I have a problem getting title information printed correctly. This is a
cut-down version:
\setupcolors [state=start]
\definecolor [colorone][r=0.625,g=0,b=0] %dark red
\definecolor [colortwo][b=0.625,g=0,r=0] %dark blue

{\getrawparameters
[Exam]
[ title=
course=,
date=,
start=,

\title{\Examtitle}}
\definefont [BigFontOne] [RegularSlanted sa 2.5]
\definefont [BigFontTwo] [Regular sa 1.5]
\setuphead[title]
[ style=\BigFontOne,
command=\examtitle,
before={},
after={\blank[big] \bgroup \colortwo
Date: \expanded{\date[Examdate]}
\hfill
Start: \expanded{Examstart}
Stop: \expanded{Examstop}
\egroup\blank},

%D This macro does the actual typesetting of the title
\def\examtitle#1#2%
{\framed[

\exam[

course=ES2917,
date={d=17,m=2,y=2010},
start={9:00 am},
stop={11:00 am}
]
I'm processing this with Mark II. The problems are that
(1) The literal 'Examcourse' is typeset;
(2) Today's date is typset, not the one entered in the interface;
(3) The start and stop times are typeset as literals 'Examstart'
'Examstop'
Thanks for any help,
Roger

Re: [NTG-context] Automatically filling forms
Wolfgang, editable pdf fields are also good idea, but this will be just another form or current workflow, and I want another thing. I want to generate pdf with data already filled in, taken from a database. The form should be repeated as many times as there are rows in the database. By database I mean xml or plain text or excel format (cvs), whatever easy editable. What about it? Vyatcheslav I have a rather specific question. In my workplace, there are many forms in Word format: TITLE OF THE FORM A student ___ (name, surname) was employed at (place) ___ (date) bla-bla bla-bla The fields represented here by underlines should be filled in. Typically, it should be done electronically for a number (say, a group) of students, and then printed out. Performing this task in Word was proven to be error-prone and tedious. What is the best way to handle such forms in ConTeXt? Maybe, some generic examples are already available?

[NTG-context] pret-c.lua
Hello, Thanks to the wiki-page Custom pretty printer I managed to write the pret-c.lua module here: http://pmrb.free.fr/tmp/pret-c/ Comments and bug-reports are welcome. What about integrating it into the distribution, or is it better on http://modules.contextgarden.net/ ?

[NTG-context] Math in MKIV - HOWTO (was: Lucida Fonts with MKIV)
These basic set of rules should also apply to fourier or any other
font that still needs better math support. I'm posting them on the
list for future reference (for when the next volunteer pops up).
On Fri, Feb 19, 2010 at 14:50, Troy Henderson wrote:
I have followed the first set of instructions at
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Lucida

Is there an easy way to adapt the configuration file(s) for MKII to MKIV?
If this is possible but just requires a tedious process, I'm willing
to do this, but I have no clue of the steps needed.
So here are some basic instructions:
Step 1: check what's in the fonts
=
The file lucida.map includes the following lines:
hlcda LucidaNewMath-Arrows-Demi lbmad.pfb
hlcdim LucidaNewMath-DemiItalic lbmdi.pfb
hlcdima LucidaNewMath-AltDemiItalic lbmdo.pfb
hlcdm LucidaNewMath-Demibold lbmd.pfb
hlcdy LucidaNewMath-Symbol-Demi lbmsd.pfb
hlcra LucidaNewMath-Arrows lbma.pfb
hlcrim LucidaNewMath-Italic lbmi.pfb
hlcrima LucidaNewMath-AltItalic lbmo.pfb
hlcrm LucidaNewMath-Roman lbmr.pfb
hlcrv LucidaNewMath-Extension lbme.pfb
hlcry LucidaNewMath-Symbol lbms.pfb
After short inspection you may notice that some are just bold
variants, so you are basically left with only 6 files that you need to
take care of:
hlcrm LucidaNewMath-Roman lbmr.pfb
hlcrim LucidaNewMath-Italic lbmi.pfb
hlcrima LucidaNewMath-AltItalic lbmo.pfb
hlcrv LucidaNewMath-Extension lbme.pfb
hlcry LucidaNewMath-Symbol lbms.pfb
hlcra LucidaNewMath-Arrows lbma.pfb
You may want to visualize the content of those fonts by using:
\loadmapfile[lucida.map]
\starttext
\showfont[hlcrm]
\showfont[hlcrim]
\showfont[hlcrima]
\showfont[hlcrv]
\showfont[hlcry]
\showfont[hlcra]
\stoptext
Step 2: compare
=
It might be interesting to know what's in LM (so that you know what
you need to modify):
\starttext
\showfont[rm-lmr10]
\showfont[lmmi10]
\showfont[lmex10]
\showfont[lmsy10]
\stoptext
as well as seing what's in ams fonts perhaps. Now all the info that
describes the content of these files is in math-tex.mkii (for MKII)
and math-vfu.lua (for MKIV):
mathematics.make_font ( lmroman10-math, {
{ name = lmroman10-regular.otf, features = virtualmath, main = true },
{ name = rm-lmr10.tfm, vector = tex-mr-missing } ,
{ name = lmmi10.tfm, vector = tex-mi, skewchar=0x7F },
{ name = lmmi10.tfm, vector = tex-it, skewchar=0x7F },
{ name = lmsy10.tfm, vector = tex-sy, skewchar=0x30,
parameters = true } ,
{ name = lmex10.tfm, vector = tex-ex, extension = true } ,
{ name = msam10.tfm, vector = tex-ma },
{ name = msbm10.tfm, vector = tex-mb },
-- { name = rm-lmbx10.tfm, vector = tex-bf } ,
{ name = lmroman10-bold.otf, vector = tex-bf } ,
{ name = lmmib10.tfm, vector = tex-bi, skewchar=0x7F } ,
{ name = lmsans10-regular.otf, vector = tex-ss, optional=true },
{ name = lmmono10-regular.otf, vector = tex-tt, optional=true },
{ name = eufm10.tfm, vector = tex-fraktur, optional=true },
{ name = eufb10.tfm, vector = tex-fraktur-bold, optional=true },
} )
You may want to check any tfm font mentioned here as well as any
vector=... mentioned.
fonts.enc.math[tex-mi] = {
[0x1D6E4] = 0x00, -- Gamma
[0x1D6E5] = 0x01, -- Delta
[0x1D6E9] = 0x02, -- Theta
[0x1D6F3] = 0x02, -- varTheta (not present in TeX)
[0x1D6EC] = 0x03, -- Lambda
[0x1D6EF] = 0x04, -- Xi
[0x1D6F1] = 0x05, -- Pi
There's a very precious source of information available for unicode
mappings for many fonts that might be worth considering:
tex4ht/ht-fonts/unicode/
Step 3: make use of available glyph information
=
3a)
You may use lucidabr.sty as a pretty reliable source of information to
extract the mapping between:
- glyph name (in LaTeX)
- font
- slot
3b)
In char-def.lua there are some mappings between context commands and
unicode points. If any mapping is missing, you need to add it anyway
(else you won't be able to use that particular command), for all other
commands you already have unicode point, so when you find rightarrow
or some other glyph in font, you may look it up in char-def.lua to
determine the unicode number.
You may want to use both the comprehensive TeX symbol list as well as
the Unicode Standard to help you out if there are some glyphs you
don't know.
Step 4: fix math-lbr
=
Step 5: complete the vectors in math-vfu.lua
=
I'm not completly sure about some aspects of bold math, but here are
at least some points to start with.
Step 6: test
=
Translate ams test paper and the comprehensive LaTeX symbol list to
ConTeXt in order to test if all the characters work ok in all the math
fonts supported by ConTeXt :) :) :)
