Re: [NTG-context] color in before=
Thanks, that worked. But it leads to my next question, I am afraid.
When I define:
\definecolor [brightred][r=0.7, g=.1, b=.1]
then I can use this in \startcolor[brightred]...\stopcolor
according to \meaning brightred being \protected macro \switchtocolor
[brightred]
Now I am fond of symbolic names and therefore also defined:
\definecolor [FrameColor][brightred]
Thus being able to use FrameColor as \MPcolor{FrameColor} in MetaFun.
(\meaning says \MPcolor{FrameColor} is \scaledMPcolor 1Framecolor,
\FrameColor being undefined)
I thought to use \MPcolor{FrameColor} also in
\startcolor[\MPcolor{FrameColor}]...\stopcolor
or \startcolor[FrameColor]...\stopcolor
but neither of these worked, nor did
{\switchtocolor[FrameColor]...}\crlf
{\switchtocolor[\MPcolor{FrameColor}]...}\crlf
How can I use FrameColor here to? Without defining extra macros
around FrameColor, I hope.

Re: [NTG-context] strange \v!on
Well, obviously I interpreted the use of \V!-macros wrong. I understood it being the ConTeXt way of making command strings language independent, as in for example. \c!corner=\v!rectangular Using code like this in a setup-getparameters combination. The article "Context System macros part1" provided the inspiration (example on page 11). Since I am adapting an old plaintex -> latex macro pack now -> context I thought it handy to put in that independence, as seems to come for free. Clearly I am not grasping the real meaning. Will you enlighten me? If it doesn't takes to much of your time to explain.

[NTG-context] color in before=
I want to put a color command in a "before" command, that command
being inserted in a macro.
Something like \setupxyz[before=\color[green]{whatever}]
The problem is that the argument parser gets confused when []-
expressions are found within the setup.
It is not an option to reprogram everything with {}'s instead of
[]'s, because then I lose to much of ConTeXt's abilities (apart from
the nuisance of having to reprogram something that has already been
done).
I suspect there is no way of sneaking in these []'s inside the
command? That is the general solution.
My eyes spotted something like \dowithcolor#1#2, but there TeX
complains about not knowing \od.
Is there a solution to this problem?

Well, the problem is that this is not really relevant to my question.
Of course it would be good to have proper kerning for German quotes
implemented in the fonts, Latin Modern or any other font. But the way
this is now handled in lang-ger.tex, this kerning is not applied in
ConTeXt! So even if LM were perfect in this regard, we still wouldn't
have properly kerned German quotes (am I making sense here, or is
this not clear enough?).

OK, this makes sense, especially your third point. If you use ConTeXt
exclusively, quotation{} and \quote{} may have advantages, but you
can't copy/paste text into, say, a file to be processed with LaTeX.
And I use emacs + auctex, so I don't have to remember what I need to
type, it is done automatically. OTOH, I could also configure auctex
to write \quotation{ when I type ". It this meant that I would get
proper kerning, I'd go for it...
Thanks, and best

No, it's more like a decision between \em and \it - \em and \quotation
{} are logical markup, \it and "' are optical.
And I hope we agree that markup should be logical, whether HTML or
TeX...

Additionally to the other hints, have a look at:
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Colors
Überfüllung is trapping in English.
But besides overprinting of colors ("Farben auf Überdrucken stellen")
ConTeXt doesn't offer anything in this complex domain.
Usually, trapping is a feature of RIP software. Otherwise a printshop
could use PDF trapping software like Heidelberg SuperTrap.

If I understand you correctly, then something like this
\definealign[cases][left={\left\{}, right={\right.}, n=2,
align={left,left}]
will give us \startcases, \stopcases which works like \cases. Such a
feature will be very useful.
Is it possible to define left|right in such a way that
\definealign[important][left={\framed\bgroup},right={\egroup}]
results in a frame around the equations (and does not include the equation
numbers), that is the frame is as broad as the width of the largest
equation that follows. This mechanism can be used to highlight equations.
Also, in another post, I had asked if it is possible to have cases that
are numbered, that is, can I get
{ b , if whatever (1a)
a ={
{ c, otherwise (1b)
This is not important, but will be nice to have.

Hi to all, I'm preparing a (standard) musical score. I've scored the music with lilypond and I have as output an A3 pdf of many pages. My idea was to create the cover and the other information pages surrounding the music with Context. In fact, I happily prepared my A3 context pages and I was trying to include the music pdf in the resulting tex file . I simply put my pdf in \externalfigure: it works, but only for first page. How do I include all the pdf? I can solve printing the pages from the context and lilypond output files, and then gluing the resulting paper, but I'd like to have an integrated source file to be printed.

On the transferred page:
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Wishes_for_Latin_Modern
there are already kerning issues listed.
If the problem on that page is not expressed clearly enough (and if
the proposal is not OK), add your comments to that page.
I agree that kerning "German" style of quotation marks was (and
perhaps still is?) horrible, perhaps slightly better in LM than it was
in CM. We use them as well (to be honest - 95% of LaTeX-people uses
the wrong ones).
I use \quotation because of these reasons:
- I never know which is the proper command to get the desired
quotation marks with combination of ", `, ', ...
- I trust Hans that the macro is optimized in such a way that the
hyphenation and everything else on the word boundary will be OK
(although I'm not sure what happens to kerning)
- I can simply redefine the quotation marks or the style of text to be
used, for example it's easy to replace them by guillemet/guillemot
alternative if necessary
It might be a personal decision which ones one uses, but I would say
that using "` vs. \quotation is approximately the same as using \"{a}
vs ä. All of them work, but the second variant is somewhat cleaner.

In both cases the use of the \v! prefix is wrong (the strut=\v!no will not be obeyed), but only one of the two results in an error, because context handles some parameters differently from other parameters.

[NTG-context] strange \v!on
Encountered something strange setting up the parameters of framed.
This runs normal: \setupframed[frame=off,strut=\v!no, ...
This gives an error:\setupframed[frame=\v!off,strut=\v!no, ...
The same happens with \v!on as parameter.
The difference is "off" vs. "\v!off" (of course running within
\unprotect .. \protect pair).
It seems to go wrong at the "frame" parameter only, because for
example strut accepts \v!no.
Is there perhaps a clash with another macro?
I get this in the console (TeXShop):
! Missing \endcsname inserted.
\let
\dobuildtextaccent #1#2->{\let

Re: [NTG-context] getting characters
Hi Hans,
I do not think it is available already, but it is very
simple to patch the \getfirstcharacter macro:
\def\dogetfirstcharacter#1#2\\%
{\def\firstcharacter{#1}\def\remainingcharacters{#2}}
(I like 'remaining' better than 'last')
Cheers, taco

[NTG-context] getting characters
While fiddling with character strings I found the \getfirstcharacter
macro which is very handy.
However, I am consuming a character string character by character.
Although I have a macro for that, I think it is a good policy to stay
as much as possible within the ConTexT framework when concocting
macro's to be used under ConTeXt.
Now for the question.
\getfirstcharacter puts the first character in \firstcharacter.
I looked for a macro containing the rest of the string but could not
find one.
Something like:
\getfirstcharacter{abc}
then
\firstcharacter = a
\lastcharacters = bc
This will make it possible to process a string character by
character, in the same way as \processcommalist does with comma
separated strings.
But possibly this is already somewhere in the code and I overlooked it.
yours sincerely,
dr. H. van der Meer

[NTG-context] request about combinations
A modest request, that is probably in principle not too difficult to fulfil. With many commands (\framed for example) I can do a setup for general behaviour and do something special at the actual call. Like this: \setupframed[options...] \framed[individual options ...] It would be pleasant if I could do the same with combinations, but there I do not get to work a similar behaviour: \setupcombinations[align=middle,location=top] \startcombination[2*1][location=middle] Is it an option for Hans to build this into the code? It would also make ConTeXt's behaviour more regular if every command that has a \setupcommand[options] would always allow \command[options]. If some have it and some not it "strains the brain". yours sincerely, dr. H. van der Meer ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

I'm not sure it is a good enough general solution, but it will work for the default font set. If I understand it correctly, the problem is that the [tf] entries in the math collections refer to a text font, not math font, so the current text encoding should be taken in consideration. The old hex 05 assumed the text font was in 8y/texnansi encoding, your new hex 0A that it is in 8t/ec encoding. Both can be wrong depending on the current user font settings, I'm afraid/ Taco ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
