The eplain macro set does commutative diagrams. But the eplain package 
has a conflict with Context macros. Perhaps you could build the 
diagrams in eplain as individual eps or pdf files and then place them 
in a Context document.

[NTG-context] Croatian translation of core-mis.mki[iv] and m-units.tex

2010-11-14 Thread Vedran Miletić
Hi,

I translated the strings in core-mis.mki[iv] and m-units.tex to Croatian.

Updated files are here:
http://www.inf.uniri.hr/~vmiletic/context/core-mis.mkii
http://www.inf.uniri.hr/~vmiletic/context/core-mis.mkiv
http://www.inf.uniri.hr/~vmiletic/context/m-units.tex

There are many more strings in m-units.tex that could (and probably should)
be translated, if this code will remain in use (since Hans and Wolfgang
talked about new module for units).

Regards,

 I had the same error. I am on linux-64 and the luatex binary in
 linux-64/bin did not have the execute permission set. So the wrong luatex
 was being used.

 But I use mtx-update directly, so do not know if this is the same reason
 for the error in the minimals.

Re: [NTG-context] Animations (again, but different)

2010-11-14 Thread Erik Margraf
Hi, with context version  2010.11.12 18:22, I get much
better results now. Thanks!
I guess, I now have a first feeling about
these things.

kind regards
Erik

2010/11/11 Erik Margraf erik.marg...@googlemail.com

 Thank's for your example! But I'm sorry to say, I didn't get it.
 When I run context on it, it results in a 2x2 matrix of pictures.
 Two of them show some reaction (change the color somewhat)
 when I click on them. (the cows don't). That's all.

 Maybe it has to with the following lines in the log file:
 ...
 interaction : active
 references  : unknown reference [][VideLayer{1}]
 references  : unknown reference [][VideLayer{2}]
 references  : unknown reference [][VideLayer{3}]
 references  : unknown reference [][VideLayer{4}]
 ...
 I tried the following example from the Wiki:
 ===
 \defineproperty[my-hasitations][layer][state=stop]

 \startproperty[my-hasitations]
 To \ConTeXt\ or not to \ConTeXt?
 \stopproperty

 \button{Show   Decision}[VideLayer{my-hasitations}]
 \button{Hide   Decision}[HideLayer{my-hasitations}]
 \button{Toggle Decision}[ToggleLayer{my-hasitations}]
 
 This produces the analogous messages for these three buttons.

 My Context Version  - MTXrun | current version: 2010.11.03 19:42
 My LuaTeX Version - This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.63.0-2010090921

 on Debian AMD64.  I looked at the files with Acrobat Reader 9 on Windows XP
 (BTW. I also tried this completely using a MiKTeX 9 Installation on WinXP
 without
 success)

 Am I missing something?

 kind regards
 Erik

I could confirm that there is the problem with context minimal
installation on linux-64. The cause of the problem is missing permission
for executable.

Currently I could build the formats only if I split the actions: update
and make.

P.S. To ensure that the same problem would not arise in future the
'update' and 'make' procedures should be splitted and between them 'chmod
+x bin/texlua tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/luatex' (texmf-$platform) is 
inserted.

[NTG-context] why nil argument

2010-11-14 Thread Hans van der Meer
In transforming dates through a Lua-call I get a nil error I do not understand.

The luatex code =
\startluacode
hvdm = hvdm or {}
require lpeg
-- Transform date in Lua from mmdd to dd-mm- with checks
hvdm.day = lpeg.R(02) * lpeg.R(09) + lpeg.P(30) + lpeg.P(31) - 
lpeg.P(00)
hvdm.month = lpeg.P(0) * lpeg.R(19) + lpeg.P(10) + lpeg.P(11) + 
lpeg.P(12)
hvdm.year = lpeg.R(12) * lpeg.R(09) * lpeg.R(09) * lpeg.R(09)
hvdm.date = lpeg.C(hvdm.year) * lpeg.C(hvdm.month) * lpeg.C(hvdm.day) * 
-1 / %3-%2-%1
\stopluacode
\def\FormatDate#1{\ctxlua{tex.print(tostring(hvdm.date:match(#1)))}}

Calling \FormatDate(1) is OK although it returns nil (correct would be #1 = 
20101114
Calling \FormatDate(A) is  not OK with the error:
! LuaTeX error main ctx instance:1: bad argument #1 to 'match' (string 
expected, got nil)
stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'match'
main ctx instance:1: in main chunk.

It is no problem if the function returns the string nil from tostring() but 
an error like this I would like to avoid.

I would think that is not the case. 
For one, because then calling with argument 1 would fail in the same manner as 
argument A does; which does not happen.
Secondly, the call originates from
  \startxmlsetups xml:case:burned
\xmldoifelsetext{#1}{}{\FormatDate{\xmlflush{#1}}}{\currentdate}
  \stopxmlsetups
This does makes it a string already.
Something else must happen here, I guess.

No, match(1) will match an integer 1, match(1) matches a string 1,
while match(A) will match a variable A which is not what you are after,
while match(A) will match a string A.

 Secondly, the call originates from
   \startxmlsetups xml:case:burned
 \xmldoifelsetext{#1}{}{\FormatDate{\xmlflush{#1}}}{\currentdate}
   \stopxmlsetups

TeX is not lua, the concepts are completely and totally different.

No, there isn't.

Interesting point.  I initially assumed it would be faster to do all my XML
processing in ConTeXt, but it occurred to me that perhaps using XSLT to or
even home-grown XML processing, I could generate a stream of TeX that could
be processed while I'm still producing it.  So one process might be looking
at successive data records and generating TeX for the various pages, and
another process could be simultaneously running TeX to typeset those pages.


Plausible?

Thank you.

[NTG-context] Gnuplot module: Patching of Gnuplot binary still needed?

2010-11-14 Thread Paul Menzel
Dear ConTeXt folks,


I read about the Gnuplot module [1] and I am wondering whether patching
the Gnuplot binary is still necessary. Github is currently down and
therefore cannot check if the code is included. But judging from

gnuplot help terminal
[…]
Subtopics available for terminal:
canvascgm   corel dpu414
dumb  dxf   eepic emf
emtex epslatex  epson_180dpi  epson_60dpi
epson_lx800   fig   gif   gpic

tek410x   texdraw   tgif  tkcanvas
tpic  vttek wxt   x11
xlib  xterm

$ gnuplot --version
gnuplot 4.4 patchlevel 0

it appears it is still required. Did some send this patch already
upstream for inclusion?


Thanks,

Paul

 Better yet, our maintainers only need to take care with the mode settings

I don't understand why this happens. My only explanation is that Peter

Re: [NTG-context] XSL-FO to PDF?

2010-11-14 Thread Renaud AUBIN
XSLT is fully adapted to XML/XML(fo or other target schema) since it was
the design basis…

My experience is:
− good xslt is (relatively) easy to design as soon as you master the
underlying data model
− xsltproc is REALLY REALLY fast for xslt 1 processing
− if you want something smarter, go for java with saxon/xerces, which is
performant too…

I'm the devil's advocate but what's your need to use ConTeXt. I have not
read all your threads but if you just need:
− to produce pdfs from xml data
− without advanced typesettings
you could use xslt to produce DocBook 5 xml file, include them using
xi:include href=./data/stuff.xml/, configure your layout with an
intermediate xslt + Fo xml config…

Once more, it depends on your original ecosystem and constraints…

If you provide a use case, I should provide a sample if you don't need
it within a couple of hours (but a couple of days)…

Best regards,

Renaud

[NTG-context] The visual counter module

2010-11-14 Thread Aditya Mahajan

Hi,

This is to announce an alpha release of the visual counter module. See 
http://randomdeterminism.wordpress.com/2010/11/14/visualcounter-module/ 
for some examples, in particular 
http://randomdeterminism.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/theorem.pdf


The idea is to display a counter visually, in the same spirit as 
interactions bars. There is no support for interaction, but, on the plus 
sides, these work for any conter, not just the page counter. The idea of 
the module comes from the counters designed by Thomas as part of the 
simpleslides module.


The module only works with MkIV because I am using the new namespace 
code. So MkII support is unlikely.


Anyone else interested in such counters?

Aditya

Re: [NTG-context] XSL-FO to PDF?

2010-11-14 Thread Peter Davis


Hi, Renaud,

In a nutshell, my use is a form of database publishing from two XML 
files.  The first file is *like* XSL-FO, but also contains some 
namespaced constructs.  This XML file is the page template ... it 
represents the layout, the static portions of the page, and the 
locations where various live data should get plugged in.


The second XML contains the live data, extracted from a database.  There 
might be thousands or tens of thousands of records of information to 
publish.


So for each main element in the live data file, we use the template 
file, but plug in the live data and generate a beautiful, formatted 
document.  The data may contain plain text, text with some formatting, 
and references to graphics and images in various formats.


It definitely needs to support advanced typesetting (beautiful 
paragraphs, tracking and kerning, ligatures, multiple languages, etc.).  
It needs to support full color (mostly CMYK), most widely used fonts 
(T1, TT/OT, CID, etc.)  It also needs to produce finished pages at a 
rate of thousands or tens of thousands of pages per minute.


TeX has the features I want, but I'm still trying to determine the best 
way to use it.  ConTeXt is particularly attractive for its built-in XML 
support, simplefonts support, pdfTeX support and minimals packaging, 
among other things.

[NTG-context] column breaks and TABLE

2010-11-14 Thread Philipp Gesang
Hi all,

with natural tables I can’t seem to get column breaks right.
Example:

··8·

\setuppapersize[A5][A5]
\definecolumnset[three][n=3]

\starttext
\startcolumnset[three]
\dorecurse{5}{
  \subject{Test nr. \recurselevel}
  Some paragraph.\par
  \penalty1 % comment me to get even footer; well, sort of …
  \bTABLE[split=yes]
  \bTABLEbody
\dorecurse{80}{
  \bTR\bTC Nr.\eTC\bTC\recurselevel\eTC\eTR
}
  \eTABLEbody
  \eTABLE
  Text after.\par\column
}
\stopcolumnset
\stoptext

··8·

The crude prevention of a column break before the table appears
to cause the first column to extend into the footer. However,
without the ‘\penalty’ the table will always appear on a new
column -- not looking well if there’s not much to typeset besides
the table itself.

Is there a way to get the best of both worlds: an even footer
without a break before the table?

I’d be grateful for any hints or suggestions, Philipp
