[NTG-context] xits font: some spacing and scaling problems
Hi there,
Not quite sure if this is the right place. I wanted to send this directly to
Khaled Hosny, but then I thought it might be good to have some additional
opinion on some of these issues (I am not quite sure if some of this is
intended behaviour).
I have collected some examples for which I think there are some scaling and
spacing problems in xits.
Also, small caps are not supported. Is this intended?!
Thanks for your help.
Cheers,
Andreas
MINIMAL EXAMPLE
\setupbodyfont[xits,11pt]

$\square$ % OK?!

$\blacktriangleleft$ % too big?!
$\blacktriangle$ % too big?!
$\blacktriangledown$ % too big?!

$\tilde{W}^i$ $W^i$ % using a superscript in case

$f^i$ % distance too small (seems to be just the case for $f$, see e.g. $h^i$

[NTG-context] \define a command with square-bracket arguments
Hi all,
As I understand it, \define[2] is preferred over \def#1#2 because it
refuses to overwrite existing commands.
\define[2]\mycommand{code code code}
defines a command to be invoked with
\mycommand{...}{...}
Can I use \define, or a related command, to define a command that
takes square-bracket arguments, like so:
\mycommand[...][...]
?
When I type
\define[1][2]\mycommand{code code code}
that doesn't work.
Cheers,

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.

[NTG-context] Parsing [key=value, key2=value2, ...] with Lua
Hi all,
I've found a helper function that does this:
utilities.parsers.settings_to_hash('ape=1, note=2, mice=3')
--
{
[ape] = 1,
[note] = 2,
[mice] = 3
}
This makes me very happy. This function and its friends are stored
under utilities.parsers, and defined in util-prs.lua; I've listed them
below. Perhaps they'll be useful to somebody else, too.
I should probably add this info to
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Commands_with_KeyVal_arguments,
but dinner first.
Cheers,
Sietse
First some examples of what the most important functions:
utilities.parsers.settings_to_hash('ape=1, note=2, mice=3')
--
{ [ape] = 1, [note] = 2, [mice] = 3 }
-- settings_to_hash takes an option 'strict',
-- I assume that has to do with space-trimming.
utilities.parsers.settings_to_array('ape, note=2, mice, ape')
-- { ape, note=2, mice, ape }
utilities.parsers.settings_to_array('ape, note=2, mice, ape')
-- { [ape]=true, [note=2]=true, [mice]=true,}
Complete list of functions (and one table) in utilities.parsers:
T.add_settings_to_array
T.arguments_to_table
T.array_to_string
T.getparameters
T.hash_to_string
T.listitem

Right, there is no smallcaps, probably you can use some other Times-like
font for smallcaps.
$\tilde{W}^i$ $W^i$ % using a superscript in case
% an accent is used results in
% a too small distance between letter
% and superscript
Looks like a ConTeXt issue, both render the same with (xe|lua)latex
(using unicode-math).
$f^i$ % distance too small (seems to be just the case for $f$, see e.g. $h^i$
$t^i$)
Looks fine here.

[NTG-context] Problem with ConTeXt (MkIV), Hebrew and ligatures
This is a problem originally posted in TeX/StackExchange. However, since I have not had any luck in finding a solution I post it here too. I am confident that somebody here should know the answer. http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/73970/problem-with-context-mkiv-hebrew-and-ligatures Since I last played with the latest ConTeXt MkIV, there has been introduced this new feature. It now seems to combine Hebrew characters automatically when possible to ligatures. So for example. If I have a word with following two characters: U+05D5 (HEBREW LETTER VAV) U+05BC (HEBREW POINT DAGESH OR MAPIQ) ConTeXt will combine these to: U+FB35 (HEBREW LETTER VAV WITH DAGESH) However, I would need to disable this feature for a number of reasons. For example, this breaks my little database query, because the query key is changed before(?) macro gets it. So if somebody would know how to turn this off and maybe also that what has changed.

[NTG-context] verbatim text: \type, \tex and co.
Hello,
Can someone indicate how to typeset

Furthermore, I suppose that typesetting Greek characters verbatim
depends also upon which \tt font is being used.

Untested:
\type{...} should work. (Definitely did work a couple of months ago).

CM Unicode has a good coverage of greek characters in typewriter font.

Re: [NTG-context] Current source directory.
Thank you for yor time, Peter. But this is not what I wanted... :-(
Is there a way to know the directory of the currently being processed
source file?
This works with mkiv:
\starttext
PWD: \cldcontext{io.popenpwd:read()}
\stoptext
This gives the directory where the context command was called from.
I want the directory where the tex file being processed lives in.
For example, I have a component
products/product/article.tex
Inside a product
products/product.tex
I produce it by calling
context products/product.tex
I want to know a function that returns
/fullpath_to_project/products/
when I call it from the script products/product.tex. And I want it to return
/fullpath_to_project/products/product/
when I call it from the script products/product/article.tex.

The TABLE macros are more flexible than tabulate.

Re: [NTG-context] Current source directory.

when I call it from the script products/product.tex. And I want it to return
/fullpath_to_project/products/product/
when I call it from the script products/product/article.tex.
Finally found it, after lots of trial-and-erroring through
likely-looking table names in file-job.lua: the stack of input files
is kept in resolvers.inputstack. Assuming (absolute path of invocation
dir) + (path of file relative to invocation dir) = the desired path,
the following should work.
\cldcontext{
environment.runpath .. '/' ..
file.pathpart(resolvers.inputstack[#resolvers.inputstack])
}
You may or may not want to parse out any ./ and ../ components.
(If you do: helpful filename manipulation functions (such as
file.pathpart, indeed) may be found in l-file.lua.)
Hope this helps,

Re: [NTG-context] Referring to multiple elements
Hi Marco,

\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.
Sietse
PS @Hans: if figure numbers have prefix segments, is there any
(combination of) helper function that will return e.g. the string
'1.2.3' given the reference string ref:fig-three? I found
commands.savedlistprefixednumber(nil, numberinlist), but that is a
wrapper around sections.typesetnumber; and that last function injects
the string into the TeX stream instead of returning it. Is there
another function I haven't found yet that will do this, or are
prefixes implemented print-only at the moment?
