 I use (g)vim to edit both context and latex files. Unfortunately, both
 of them usually have *.tex extension. This mean that detecting
 filetype from extension is not possible, so one should look into the
 contents of the file to see if it a context file or not.

 I am planning to submit a ftdetect for context to vim. Right now, I
 check if the first six lines of the file contain any of
 '\\start\|\\enablemode\|\\unprotect\|\\setvariables\|\\module\|\ 
 \usemodule'
 and if so, set the filetype to context, otherwise it is set to tex
 (that loads latex plugins).

 This works for my context writing style. I would like to know about
 other people's preference.

 1. Do you write some keyword unique to context in the first few lines
 of the file. Should I also check the last few line lines.
 
convention:

% interface=en language=nl program=pdfetex

etc, the following are understood by texexec

['tex','texengine'],
['program','texengine'],
['translate','tcxfilter'],
['tcx','tcxfilter'],
['output','backend'],
['mode','mode'],
['ctx','ctxfile'],
['version','contextversion'],
['format','texformats'],
['interface','texformats']

 2. Are there any other keywords that you will like to include.

 3. Is it enough to check the first 6 line or should I check more. I do
 not want to check more lines as this will make the detection slower
 (by a few mili secs).

 
checking does not take much time, for instance in scite, i check till i 
know; also (probably goes unnoticed), texexec does soem checking: it 
needs to figure out the interface:

 Thanks for all the help. I have progressed a lot with the tips you gave

 Windows command line, but when I click on Build in SciTE's Tools menu, it
 says: THe system cannot find the file specified. I don't which file it

It can't find texmfstart. You need to have the TeXLive binary
directory in your global path (perhaps through autoexec.bat, but
windows is too long ago for me to be certain about that).

 2) I have copied the scite-ctx.properties file to SciTE's path, but I
 still dont' get the wrapping and other ctx functionality.

You have to add a new line containing

import context

to the bottom of the Global or User Options file in SciTE

And you have to copy texmf/scripts/context/lua/scite-ctx.lua to
the SciTE path as well.

I assume that is because the /FitBH should match what is implied by

I don't know how to get the object number (I simply reverse-

Hello Taco,
no, if I don't use the focus=minwidth, then clicking a reference brings me
back to the default zoom-level (default means acroread preference).

If you think, that my feature request is of very low priority and not worse

over time, the possibilities of pdf has improved as well as changed:

- first there were only page destinations
- then came names ones
- cross doc links were implemented differently
- then there was a behavioural change in optimizers/viewers
- views are not supported in certain named destinations
- etc

this all resulted in context supporting a mixture of destinations (page 
and named) and either or not providing support for views, depending on 
what method was chosen.

the solution that taco suggests is possible now that in pdftex we have 
pdfpageref (ok, a bit of a lie: context could sorty out page object ref 
numbers itself but i never used that here due to mem limitations which 
now are gone)

however, one needs to keep in mind that if we support things like this 
we also assume recent viewers (ok now, but some time ago both linux and 
apple were  behind with viewers)

i'll adapt the pdf driver a bit so that we can do what you want, under 
the assumption that everyone runs the latest pdftex (i normally take a 
one year period before i assume that) as well as that one has a version 
5+ viewer.

\setupinteraction[state=start,focus=width,openaction=firstpage,page=yes] 

\starttext

the page actions (like firstpage) will use the obj ref approach now instead of 
the auto page destinations, and with page=yes one forces 
all destinations to be page destinations (which is needed on order to
get the view working; keep in mind that one then looses cross document named 
referencing, only cross doc page referencing remains (no real problem, unless 
one refers from outside a pdf)  

\stoptext

i'll upload a current with a slightly adapted driver (extra option which is now 
default; taco: just run a diff on spec-fdf.tex and you'll see what happens) 

\setupinteraction[state=start,focus=width,openaction=page(3),page=yes]

\starttext

test \page
test \page
test \page
test \page
test \page

\stoptext

works ok too

hm, i wonder, since it's a bunch of conflicting specs; also, openaction has not 
been around from the start of pdf (and got more robust later), and access to 
the page object number in pdftex is pretty recent 

as with many of such features, it has always been possible to cook up something 
that workes for the latest pdftex and the latest viewer, but if one uses odl 
and new docs/viewers intermixed there were always penalties. The same is true 
for more features. Only with acrobat 5 pdf became a bit more stable 

also keep in mind that context has chained annotation support as well as some 
other features that make it tricky to use certain tricks; in the deiver files 
you will find some workarounds, like adding quotes around destinations on order 
to make sure that acrobat 3 does not ignore them - it simply assumed some funny 
first char sort order in named destination, probably some optimization; or 
special treatment or spaces or ...

other tricky areas are for instance widgets: context has always built the 
datastructures needed, and i'm sure not every tex package does that, thereby 
just depending on the recovery capabilities of acrobat (it indeed reconstructs 
fields arrays at startup) but context could not depend on that because it 
supports clones and copies of fields right from the start 

similar weirdness happens (happened) with javascripts: the spec supported a 
list of scripts, while viewers didn't; and then we don't even talk about 
initialization ... so, again, it's no problem to get something working for a 
certain version, but i always want to make sure that we are as backward 
compatible as possible 

or take special resources (related to plugins)  keeps changing, never works 
100% in the first release of a reader, so i more or less decided that, apart 
from some playing around, its best to wait till N.0.2 or higher -)

I suspect it is a bug or missing feature in SciTE. I run 1.62
here, which is rather old. You can copy the relevant bits from
context.properties to your User options file (without the if
statement, of course). It is the indented block that follows

if $(context.distribution.writable)

(you can edit context.properties directly, but mine is a
symlink to the distributed one from hans)

Cheers, Taco

 It should be under Ctrl 9, but doesn't work for me either. My scite
 seems to dislike this line in context.properties:

if $(context.distribution.writable)

 it is apparently never true.
   
you can set it to true -) 

it does not work that well from a cd -)

create a desktop link to cmd.exe (the black console icon in accessoires) 

edit the properties and change the call to 

%SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe /k .\setuptex.bat 

the setuptex script is in your isoimage path a b it down the line

that way you will get a console that knows 

texexec --make --all --fast 

another option is, when you have scite open, to open a console from scrite, or, 
to click on the right pane and just key in the same texexec command (the right 
pane is a both for messages and commands)

 Hi,

 What tips can folks give me about wrapping in Scite?

 A. Starting with a blank document.

 B. Starting with a document that is not wrapped (lots of long lines).

 In particular, is there a way to wrap a document while still  
 preserving stuff like:

   
given that the lua extensions are available, you can select a paragraph and do 
a shift0-f11 and wrap 'm 

\item text starts here

if the selection starts at 'text' you will get a nice indented wrap

eh ... when you have run-time metapost processing, figure slots are reused when

Re: [NTG-context] Want all my *.1 *.2 .... *.30 files

2006-02-03 Thread David Arnold
I must have my mac (as do my colleagues) set for no run-time metapost  
processing, so I do get *.1, *.2, , *.30. And, we've set up our  
figure libraries like this:

figure
filesection1figs-mpgraph.30/file
labeleightfinal/label
copyrightCollege of the Redwoods Mathematics Department/copyright
comment/comment
/figure

So, how do I turn it off in this Scite environment, or in a DOS  
command window with texexec.

[NTG-context] Two questions: Bib module and Headers

2006-02-03 Thread Miguel Queiros
Hi,

I'm using Bib module and bibtex to create my bibliography.
I would like to order it by author name, and I'v tried
it using:

\setupbibtex[database=opensource-educacao,sort=author]

But didn't get the desired result. 
Should I be using anything else ?

And now for the header question:

I'm using the following code to change the font
size of my header from 12pt to 10pt.

\setupheadertexts[][\setups{ta}]

\startsetups[ta]
  \setupbodyfont[10pt]
  \getmarking[chapter]
\stopsetups

Using \setupbodyfont[10pt] in this case
is the best solution ?

Thank you,
Miguel Queirós
