Re: [NTG-context] Draw chess board
Hi Mojca
I original intention is:
First, check the sgf file to decide how many rows and lines should be used.
For some instance, there is no need to draw the full 19x19 board, like
conversion steps demostration---best choices around the corner of the board.
Second, I'd like to take advantage of PDF Javascript to show every step by
clicking on some area. \fieldstack seems to be a good choice. But if I use
some script like sgf2mpost, I don't know how to if there is an easy way to
determine how many steps does the sgf include.
If I solved the sgf problem, I think I can input a game manually by using
sgf syntax

You can use either TeX or metapost to parse sgf file. But you can
forget about TeX, I suppose. Metapost is an option if you love
challenges, but it's not the only possibility if you're looking for
cross-platform solutions.
In http://match.stanford.edu/bump/sgf2dg-4.026.tar.gz you have
sgf2mpost.c with 1000 lines of pure C code which parses the file and
generates metapost output.
If I was in your place, I would write a ruby (or lua ;) parser (the
file above can help you, but you can probably parse the input in a
much more clever & efficient way with ruby) + metapost code generator.
Then you write a ConTeXt module with
\startSGFscript{name} or \startSGFfile or \startSGFgame or \startGOgame
the very special format of your game ...
\stopSGFscript
You write the content into a file (you can also prepare external files
and tell ConTeXt which one is the source file), call "texmfstart
your-great-ruby-script file.sgf", which generates metapost output, and
then you include that one in the ConTeXt document.
I'm really not sure if parsing SGF files with metapost can bring you
anything ... ruby scripts are fully portable, at least in ConTeXt.

Re: [NTG-context] installprogram problem
Hi,
There is a bug in texutil.rb Here is a simple test. Create test.tex
\def\runprogram#1%
{\installprogram{echo "#1"}}
\starttext
\runprogram{test}
\runprogram{test again}
\stoptext
and texexec it. Everything is fine at the TeX end, the tui file says
e p {echo "test"}
e p {echo "test again"}
However, the output says
TeXUtil | programs: 2
TeXUtil | tuo file saved
TeXUtil | running echo "test"
"test"
TeXUtil | running echo "test"
"test"
TeXExec | runtime: 0.892
that is, the first command was run both times.
Looking into texutil.rb, I think that the bug is in the definition of
Myextras::finalizer method. In /scritps/ruby/base/texutil.rb change
def MyExtras::finalizer(logger)
unless (ENV["CTX.TEXUTIL.EXTRAS"] =~ /^(no|off|false|0)$/io) ||
(ENV["CTX_TEXUTIL_EXTRAS"] =~ /^(no|off|false|0)$/io) then
@@programs.each do |p|
cmd = @@programs[p.to_i] #AM: why p.to_i
#AM: p is the name of the program, hence a string
#AM: p.to_i evaluates to 0 always, explaining the bug
logger.report("running #{cmd}")
system(cmd)
end
end
end
to
def MyExtras::finalizer(logger)
unless (ENV["CTX.TEXUTIL.EXTRAS"] =~ /^(no|off|false|0)$/io) ||
(ENV["CTX_TEXUTIL_EXTRAS"] =~ /^(no|off|false|0)$/io) then
@@programs.each do |cmd|
logger.report("running #{cmd}")
system(cmd)
end
end
end
and everything runs correctly. Hraban, I have not tested this with
lilypond, but this may be part of the problem there.

With \expanded{} I always get "incomplete iffalse", \edef doesn't
change anything.
I tried to "outsource" the command and dropped the \ifeof18 (because
\executesystemcommand doesn't seem to do anything anyway):
\def\doprocesslilypond#1{%
\edef\LPFN{#1}%
\writestatus{DEBUG-w18}{\LPFN}%
\installprogram{texmfstart --ifchanged=\LPFN.tmp --exec bin:lilypond
-b eps -dno-gs-load-fonts -dinclude-eps-fonts \LPFN.tmp}%
\doif\jobsuffix{pdf}{%
\installprogram{texmfstart --ifchanged=\LPFN.eps pstopdf
\LPFN.eps}%
}%
}
Still the same: \writestatus writes the right filename (enumerated),
but the latter is always called with no.1
Of course I first tried just using #1 and only \def\LPFN.
As you wrote:
>>> You have to run \installprogram{} on each separate, expanded
>>> commandline.
perhaps you did overlook that, even if \installprogram is "run" after
every buffer, the execution is postponed to the end of the texexec
run - I'm rather sure the number get forgotten on the way of this
postponing, but everything I tried to expand the number, failed.
But I don't really know what I'm doing while I try to program in TeX...

How it used to work: The tabular lining figures are replaced by oldstyle figures by means of an encoding file only. This worked fine (because the oldstyle figures were tabular as well). The height and depth are normally not all that important to TeX, and with the widths the same, there was no need for a different metrics file, just a single encoding file is enough to give all the LM fonts oldstyle (tabular) figures instead of lining figures. This trick broke when the tabular oldstyle figures were renamed and proportional oldstyle figures were added (to the non-typewriter fonts. Both problems Idris had came directly from that the fact that these changes make the encoding file invalid: * the perceived kerning is wrong because the actual proportional glyphs have different sidebearings, and * the monospace fonts gave an error because the glyphs were renamed, so the requested glyphs were no longer existent at all. >> While writing a bug report, I noticed that these encoding files are no >> longer in the font distribution > > No. We have a lot enough of TFMs and I'd be reluctant to add more.

[NTG-context] Text following columns sometimes pushed into next page

address to come at the bottom of the last page outside of the columns.
As in:

But even when there is room the address is often put on the next page.

on the same page. Is it possible to do that?
Here's an example:

On my last Context project I simply used
\lefthyphenmin 3
to set a new minimum size for the left part of a hyphenated word. The
customer requested it at the last minute (overly picky editor.) It
worked OK on a long and complex document.

Re: [NTG-context] Creating PDF files which are editable in Adobe Reader
Alas, as has already been said, the LiveCycle feature is proprietary and not free. So you won't be able to use it from ConTeXt. One alternative on Windows maybe Foxit PDF Reader which is available for free, and can do some of what you want with low-cost add-ons. http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php The 'pro-pack' allows annotation: http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader_2/addons.htm#advanced And there is also a Foxit PDF editor as well, but that is more expensive. You might also look at PDFill http://www.pdfill.com/ Of course neither solutions is as convenient or as effective as being able to send annotatable and fill-able files to anyone with Adobe Reader. But this software may still be of interest.

[NTG-context] Draw chess board
Hi I love chess games, especially one kind of them which is generally called Go. I know there is some file can store each details in one game: http://www.red-bean.com/sgf/ AFAIK, there is no module available to draw chess in ConTeXt now. I wanna do this by using MetaPost and fieldstack. But I don't know how to tell metapost the details of the sgf file. Can anyone give me a suggestion? BTW, I don't like the name. It's invented by acient Chinese and it's called Weiqi. I think we can call it Siege Chess in English. -- Best Regards Chen Zhi-chu Chen | Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility No. 2019 | Jialuo Rd. | Jiading | Shanghai | P.R.

You probably should \edef \LP then?

You have to run \installprogram{} on each separate, expanded
commandline.
I thought that was what I do.
\installcommand is run after every buffer.
I also tried \expanded{\installcommand{\LP}} and
\installcommand{\expanded{\LP}}, but neither did help.

Hi Elliot,
you can also prevent hyphenation by switching to undefined languages and
the only hyphenations the one in the hyphenation exception list and in words
written with \-.
\unprotect
\startvariables all
listhyphenation: listhyphenation

\def\listhyphenation

You would have to redefine one of the core utility macros to get
this to work. I wrote a small extension for you that does not
need manual intervention. It only hyphenates words that are longer
than 8 characters. Here is the actual code that should go to the
environment file (or the preamble section):
%D A small extension that creates an align type that only hyphenates
%D long words.
\unprotect
\startvariables all
lesshyphenation: lesshyphenation
\stopvariables
\def\lesshyphens
{\lefthyphenmin=4 \righthyphenmin=5 }
\installalign \v!lesshyphenation {\lesshyphens}
%D The next two lines implement 'align=lesshyphenation' as an option
%D for \type{\framed} etc.
\setvalue{\@@ragged@@command\v!lesshyphenation}
{\appendtoks\lesshyphens \to\everyraggedcommand}
\protect
%D done.
And the usage is like so:
\setupalign[lesshyphenation]
... documentation ...
Best wishes, Taco
