[NTG-context] New tmf files?
Taco et al, There was some discussion before this current release about including more tmf files. I downloaded the latest cont-tfm.zip, but see no evidence of more tmf files. Is that still a future project? I updated Context via Gerben's updater and I just installed the Latin modern fonts from Gerben's site about a week and a half ago. Should I be good to go for a while?

Hi,
I 'reorganized' (split) the beginners manual and put it in svn, so
anyone who is willing to translate can check out a copy. I didn't yet
change anything (only the file structure etc) and the styles need a
cleanup (more modern setup). Because each chapter now has its own file,
we can (as suggested on this list) edit piecewise. Don't start yet.
First we need to add/remove things and rewrite chapters. But you can try
to compile the file.
Just tried to compile:

How do I set this up in bookenv?
By reading cont-enp.pdf? There's a lot of information in there and it
has a pretty good index.
Use the way=x setting, as in:
\setupformulas[way=bychapter]
(or way=bysection if that's really how you want to number it).

Re[2]: [NTG-context] No partial contents for parts after the first

Thursday, November 24, 2005 Giuseppe Bilotta wrote:
I'm using the latest ConTeXt reported here, and I'm noticing
that partial contents for the second, third etc part are not
available. I have a bunch of files each of which goes like
\part{some part}
Some text (not always)
\placecontent
\chapter{some chapter}
Each of this file is \input from the master file. However,
only in the first part you actually see the (part-specific)
content: every other part reports
system : part,chapter,section,subsection not found/processed
The setup for the contents is as follows:
\setupcombinedlist[content]
[interaction=all,
partnumber=no,
alternative=c,
level=subsection]
\setuphead[part][alternative=middle,placehead=yes,resetnumber=no]
The problem is the 'resetnumber': if I take that off,
everything works perfectly.
I've been debugging this, and the reason for the thing not
coming up for parts after the first is that when
resetnumber=no the current level is not properly detected:
in one case you get
\currentlevel -:1
in the other
\currentlevel -:2:2:4:2
Which is obviously wrong. Indeed, the problem is here:
\listentry{part}{1}{1}{Introduction}{2::1:0:0:0:0:0:0::7}{8}
\listentry{chapter}{2}{1}{Presentation}{2::1:1:0:0:0:0:0::8}{9}
\listentry{section}{3}{1.1}{History and
motivation}{2::1:1:1:0:0:0:0::8}{9}
\listentry{chapter}{11}{2}{The
basics}{2::1:2:0:0:0:0:0::12}{13}
\listentry{section}{12}{2.1}{Notation}{2::1:2:1:0:0:0:0::12}{13}
(more stuff)
\listentry{subsection}{78}{2.4.2}{Scaling the
coordinate system}{2::1:2:4:2:0:0:0::31}{32}
\listentry{part}{79}{2}{Mathematical
tools}{2::2:2:4:2:0:0:0::34}{35}
\listentry{chapter}{82}{3}{Bézier cubic
analysis}{2::2:3:0:0:0:0:0::35}{36}
OOOPSIE! Since resetnumber=no, the listentry keeps the old
settings for chapter, section the like. This is obviously
wrong. Even if the number is not reset, the sectionformat
*must* be reset, since at the beginning of the new
higher section(level) you are not in the previous one
anymore. So for example when starting a new part (with
resetnumber=no), and until
the first chapter of the new part is started we are in
chapter 0 for that part, not in chapter
'last-chapter-from-previous-part'.
Can this be fixed?
Ok, I came up with a solution that seems to work:
\def\definesection[#1]%
{\doifundefined{\??se#1}
{\doifelsenothing\firstsection
{\def\firstsection{#1}%
\setevalue{\??se#1\c!before}{\v!text}%

\advance\nofsections \plusone
\setevalue{\??se#1\c!level}{\the\nofsections}%
\letvalue{\??se#1\c!after}\empty
\setvalue{\e!next#1}{\@@nextsectionnumber{#1}}%
\setvalue{#1\c!number}{\@@longsectionnumber{#1}}%
\setvalue{#1\s!format}{\@@longformatnumber{#1}}%
\setevalue{\??by#1}{#1}%
\setevalue{\??by\v!by#1}{#1}%
\makecounter{\??se#1}%
\makecounter{\??se lastvalueof#1}% GB
\edef\lastsection{#1}%
\setvalue{\??sk#1}{#1}%
\letvalue{\??se#1\c!marking}\empty
\setupsection[#1][\c!previousnumber=\v!yes]}}%
% New command preserves the value of the next sectionlevel
% when resetnumber=no
\def\checkpreservevalueafter#1%
{\ifnum\getvalue{\??se#1\c!level}\the\nofsections
\edef\preservedsection{\getvalue{\??se#1\c!after}}%
\ifconditional\@@resetsubheadnumbers
\setcounter{\??se lastvalueof\preservedsection}%
{0}%
\else
\setcounter{\??se lastvalueof\preservedsection}%
{\countervalue{\??se\preservedsection}}%
\fi
\fi}
\def\@@setsectionnumber#1#2%
{\letgvalueempty{\??se#1\s!start}% signal i.p.v. boolean
\setcounter{\??se#1}{#2}%
\checkpreservevalueafter{#1}
\resetsectioncounters{#1}
\checkpagecounter}
\def\@@nextsectionnumber#1%
{\letgvalueempty{\??se#1\s!start}% signal i.p.v. boolean
\ifnum\countervalue{\??se lastvalueof#1}\zerocount
\setcounter{\??se#1}{\countervalue{\??se lastvalueof#1}}
\setcounter{\??se lastvalueof#1}{0}
\fi
\pluscounter{\??se#1}%
\checkpreservevalueafter{#1}
\resetsectioncounters{#1}
\checkpagecounter}
This has been tested in a fairly complex document (some
levels with resetnumber=no, some with the usual resetnumber;
sectionblocks etc). It works, and fixes the placecontent not
working. Will this go into mainline?

Hans, Taco, et al, I think it would be a good idea (possibly saving you a lot of list answering time) if you put a README file in each manual directory. This could contain instructions such as: 1. Which is the main file to compile. 2. Some font handling instructions. Maybe a reminder of what to do with texfont and type-tfm.dat on different systems. User would be handy in getting this right. 3. Or, as font setups head to an environment file, maybe alternate environment files could be provided to get a plain vanilla no other fonts other than what is supplied with cont-fnt.zip. Hopefully, other on this list can come up with other suggestions for the README. I've just named a few that I know will help me.

Re: [NTG-context] beginners manual
Hans, Taco, et al, It's time for me to wax philosophic on the beginner's manual. I've read a few posts to this list, and tried to think back to my experience, and looked at my troubles now, but I haven't reread the beginner's manual as yet. That I will do in the upcoming weeks. My first thought is this: In my opinion, the beginner's manual remains one of very best sources for Context. My second thought is the fact that this is a beginner's manual in every sense of the word. That is, you need to be very careful with what goes into the manual. Truly, a guiding principle should be: What does a beginner need to see? Think of a user who is beginning with a blank slate, or alternatively, think of a user who's been gone for a while (I've qualified for this category on several occasions and revisiting the beginner's manual has always been helpful). What does this user need to see? And what does this user need to be protected from? First and foremost, you've got to make sure that users on different platforms have a good install of Context. This could be a set of appendices: Appendix A -- Installation on Windows, Appendix B -- Installation on Linux, Appendix C -- Installation on Mac OS. Again, users could be very helpful in testing these instructions. This is a beginner's manual, so it would be helpful if these instructions were of the Quick Start variety, as involved instructions will only serve to frustrate the beginner. Of course, these instructions should include a Hello, World! example in order to test for a valid installation. Whenever I teach a new concept in mathematics, I'm faced with a choice of two directions. I can start with the concept, then give examples. Or I can do some examples, then discuss the abstraction at a higher level. I am constantly forgetting that the second method is usually a better choice for my students. For example, suppose that I want to show that any multiple of an eigenvector is again an eigenvector of a given matrix. I can first prove it in the abstract (A (cx)=c(Ax)=c(lx)=l(cx)), then give examples. Alternatively, I can put a little 2x2 matrix on the board, find the eigenvectors, then demonstrate that multiples of the eigenvectors are again eigenvectors. Once the students have the idea, then I can put up the abstraction of the general proof. A reference manual is an example of the first method, a beginner's manual should follow the second method. It's easier, in my opinion, to learn by example, to learn by doing. Topics should be included or excluded based on a guiding principle: What does a beginner need to know to get started? It will be tempting to include using a different font, or talk about interactive documents, etc, but these are advanced topics, which belong in separate manuals where space and time will do them justice. Indeed, what is truly needed is a separate beginner's manual on interactive documents. Layout really threw me for a loss the first time (and times thereafter) I went through the beginner's manual. I was confronted with terms (cutspace, backspace) that might be familiar to typographers, but I had no clue what they meant. I can remember spending countless hours tweaking layout parameters, printing, then measuring with a ruler, only to scratch my head when I did not get predicted results. To this day, I am still not completely sure what I am doing in this area. I think what is needed in the beginner's manual is an image similar to Patrick's \ShowLayout result from his t- layout module. Secondly, it would be time well spent to build an improved \showframe command. Perhaps this even exists, but I am not aware of it. It needs to provide accurate measurements, even when printed and the rulers come out. Perhaps if a user included the \showframe command, a trigger of some sort could change the size of the paper that the document is typeset on, with an outline of the actual paper size, and the edges, margins, headers, etc, all framed and in view, even if they lie outside the actual paper outline. List users can help to make sure that the manual is free of errors. If something doesn't work, this is much more upsetting to a beginner than a seasoned user. A seasoned user might say oh, that's just a typo, do this, but a beginner has an entirely different reaction on an entirely different emotional level. Troubleshooting should get some time in the beginner's manual. People coming from a Word environment are not going to understand what is going on when a compilation halts. Seasoned TeX users know about typing h, x, s, e, etc, but people who've never seen TeX before are going to freak out. So, some time should be spent on troubleshooting. Or, a conscious decision has to be made: Will we assume that all beginners in Context have TeX experience? So, I advise, stick to the basics. Get the user started. Ask yourself

Hi Hans et al, Just tried to compile ma-cb-en with T5. Here are some remarks: 1. \def\TitlePage#1#2#3 in file ma-cb-style.tex does not work with T5. Because of \definedfont[SansBold at 40pt] I lossed so many vietnamese accented characters. I have to change to \switchtobodyfont[40pt]\bf in order to make T5 work. I think the file ma-cb-style.tex needs more attention for multi-lang support. 2. In file ma-cb-en-document.tex : ... \CONTEXT\ expects a plain \ASCII\ input file. Of course you can use any texteditor or wordprocessor you want, but you should not forget that \CONTEXT\ can only read \ASCII\ input. Most texteditors or wordprocessors can export your file as plain \ASCII. ... What do you think about a plain text input file in UTF-8 charset ? It's not ASCII by definition, but the current ConTeXt (pdfetex) can work with it no problem. All my works with ConTeXt are prepared in UTF-8 input file. That's all for now.
