Re: [NTG-context] Forward of moderated message (Why It Is So)
Hi Geoff, (Your messsage was too large, I dropped the attachments) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Thanks This problem has been with my version of Contex which is running on windows XP since I first started maybe 2 years ago and has never bothered me as I was doing simple jobs. The version is kept up to date and I have in fact downloaded the base distro again on 14 Dec and updated. I am guessing that it may be in the parameters given to pdftex which I have just noticed from googling for something else. Like Luigi said: there is no problem. This is absolutely how it is supposed to look. I do not know what you want precisely, but apparently you are unhappy with the standard ConTeXt page layout. That is fine, after all, it is only a default. Just play with \setuplayout until you are happy (try \showlayout if you want to see all of the currently used parameter values). But there is definately no bug in your installation. Best, Taco I am happy to test this but I am unsure how \pdfpagewidth (dimension) This dimension parameter specifies the page width of the pdf output (the screen, the paper, etc.). pdfTEX reads this parameter when it starts shipping out a page. After magnification has been changed by the \mag primitive, check that this parameter reflects the wished true page width. If the value is not given, the page width is calculated as wbox being shipped out + 2 × (horigin + \hoffset). When part of the page falls off the paper or screen, you can be rather sure that this parameter is set wrong.

Gerben has announced end-of-life for his distro system. Well, end of support... except for ConTeXt because of the automation that ConTeXt provides for his packaging needs.

[NTG-context] macro \verticalchineseunicodeglyph may not satisfy the vertical Chinese typeset
Hi, ConTeXters I'm playing some Chinese vertical typesetting. Mr. Wolfgang Shuster helps me a lot about it. In vertical typesetting, the top of each leading Chinese characters at each column are aligned horizontally. But if we changed the size of the bodyfont of some characters and they could wrap to the next column, then the top of the wrapped texts are not aligned with the other columns. So we can give them a raise, but it is not so easy to calculate the dimension to be raised, for ConTeXt will give every Chinese a \strut and makes the original height and depth unavailable. Since we can aligned the \strut-ed characters precisely, the real characters are not. Can Hans or other TeXperts give me a nice solution? In fact, I think in vertical Chinese, we should move the baseline to the top of the character. and make it with height=0pt and depth=width -- Sincerely yours, Chen Zhi-chu Chen | Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility No. 2019 | Jialuo Rd. | Jiading | Shanghai | P.R.

[NTG-context] store counter or variable and reread again
Hello,
i just playing a little bit with macros.
For adding points to a total sum i use this macros
\global\newcount\summeP \summeP=0
% ad the points of each question
\def\getPunkte[#1]{\global\advance\summeP by \number#1}
% show the points on the right side
\def\showP[#1]{\inright{\hskip 10mm \framed{#1} }}
% handle the points
\def\pkt[#1]%
{\showP[#1]%
\getPunkte[#1] }
this is working well but my problem is I want to use \summeP on the
first page to show the total amount of points for the whole exam.
I know that this needs a second run of texexec, but I don't know how to
store the value at the end of the file and reread this stored value in a
second run the get the right value.
Any hints are welcome!
Thanks and a Happy New Year!

[NTG-context] ConTeXt upgrade blues
OK, so the ConTeXt that comes with the TeX distribution I use (until
eariler today, MacPorts, and as from later today, fink) is ancient.
now, with good old LaTeX that's not much of a problem - just put the
most recent release in the few relevant places in texmf-local,
rebuild the formats, and off you go. with ConTeXt, that's, er, not
so simple.
the first attempt I made was to pull dowm the most recent version of
the base files and then run
sudo texmfstart ctxtools --update
which seemingly worked, pulled the updates to texmf-local, and
complied with no error messages. however, the new ConTeXt failed to
compile documents, giving lots of error messages about undefined
commands.
texexec test.tex (which used to work) gives
mktextfm: `mf-nowin -progname=mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode;
input ec-lmr12' failed to make ec-lmr12.tfm.
kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log.
! Font \*12ptrmtfrm*=ec-lmr12 not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found.
ruby `kpsewhich --format=texmfscripts texmfstart.rb` texexec test

how about
\savecurrentvalue\SomeVar{someval}
I was just copying the way it is done with other macros \lastpage,
etc. I will look at \savecurrentvalue also. However, something seems
to be wrong in tex.rb
Change
def processfile
while ! stoprunning (texruns nofruns) ok do
end
...
end
to
def processfile
while ! stoprunning (texruns nofruns) ok do
report(stoprunning #{stoprunning})
report(texruns=#{texruns}, nofruns=#{nofruns})
report(ok=#{ok})
report(while=#{! stoprunning (texruns nofruns) ok})
end
...
end
so that we can see what takes us out of the while loop.
Take Petar's test file and run it through texexec. I get
TeXExec | stoprunning true
TeXExec | texruns=2, nofruns=8
TeXExec | ok=counter.tex
TeXExec | while=counter.tex
Notice that ok=\jobname. Shouldn't ok be a boolean. And the condition
for while is a string rather than a boolean. I am not too sure on what
ruby does for non boolean conditionals, but the present implementation
can break (under some crazy conditions, maybe). How about if in
def runtexutil(...)
there is a return ok in the end, for example
begin
logger = Logger.new('TeXUtil')
if tu = TeXUtil::Converter.new(logger) and tu.loaded(fname) then
ok = tu.processed tu.saved tu.finalized
end
rescue
Kpse.runscript('texutil',fname,options)
else
return ok #- added.
end
Back to Peter's question, I gave a wrong explaination earlier. texexec
just checks if the tui file has changed. If the file did not change
from the last run, then it stops processing. So with
\savetwopassdata{test}{1}{2}
you will get two runs the first time you process the file, and a
single run if you reprocess the file. By default, the maximum number
of runs that you can have is 8, but you can change this by passing
--runs= to texexec

\savecurrentvalue\SomeVar{someval}
I was just copying the way it is done with other macros \lastpage,
etc. I will look at \savecurrentvalue also.
Ahh, \lastpage uses \savecurrentvalue. I was pretty sure that I copied
the twopass some time back from \lastpage. Maybe I was dreaming, maybe
you are changing the internals too fast for me to keep up. Anyways, to
make ammends, here is the solution using \savecurrentvalue
% It may be better to use \setcounter series of macros.
% First let us define a general macro for adding arbitrary number to a counter
\unprotect
\def\addtocounter#1#2% #1 name #2 value
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\protect
% To Hans and Taco: Should the above macro be added to syst-ext?
% Now lets define everything in terms of ConTeXt's counter macros
\makecounter{Points}
% % show the points on the right side
\def\showP[#1]{\inright{\hskip 10mm \framed{#1} }}
\def\pkt[#1]%
{\showP[#1]%
\addtocounter{Points}{#1}}
%
\def\nofPoints{0} % Number of points from previous run
\def\savenofPoints
{\savecurrentvalue\nofPoints{\countervalue{Points}}}
% It is a bit boring to type \savenofPoints everytime
\appendtoks \savenofPoints \to \everystoptext
% An example usage
\starttext
\title{This exam is of \nofPoints\ Points}
% Lets set 10 problems with different points
\dorecurse{10}
{\pkt[\recurselevel] \input tufte \endgraf}
\stoptext
The whole things is much shorter :)
Hans, I just noticed that \everystarttext is executed at the start of
components and products, while \everystoptext is not. Does it make
sense to define \stopcomponet and \stopproduct so that \everystoptext
is executed?

OK, the problem was solvable and I now have an up-to-date ConTeXt. the only remaining issue is that of hyphenation - the previous version, apparently had Norwegian hyphenation on by default. I managed to coerce ConTeXt into handeling it, but what is the canonical way to edit which hyphenation patterns ConTeXt loads when building formats? -- Rolf Lindgren [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
