Re: [NTG-context] Float within a frame challenge

Hi,
I am trying to accomplish the following layout with ConTeXt:
- An icon and a descriptive text should be contained together in a
separate frame
- The frame should be centered and have a special background color
- Within the frame, the icon should be placed to the upper left.
- A descriptive text should flow around the icon within the frame,
first part to the right and then below the icon.
I have tried the following construct:
%--
\startframedtext
\placefigure[left]{none}{\externalfigure[danger]}
The textual description of the icon comes here. It should ideally flow to
the right of
the figure within the frame, but the figure actually becomes behind the
text.
\stopframedtext
%--
The problem here is that the icon and text is placed on top of each other.
When removing the frame (\startframedtext command), the placement of the
figure and the text works OK, but I don't get a frame then of course.
I have studied the It's in the details document which explains a great
deal about float's, but I haven't found anything covering the frame issue.
Is the startframedtext the wrong command to use? All hints or suggestions
(like references to other tutorials) are very welcome.

Now, I think I discovered another bug (or feature?), the function will
ignore any zeros at the left which isn't what one expects.
This happen to be some thing in Lua itself:
s = 000123 print(s)
will give 123, so it have to be a string to keep the to the left zeros.
I rewrote the converters.alphabetic() and converters.Alphabetic() so
that it will not expect a number and will just iterate through the given
string, and now \arabicnumerals and its brothers will pass strings to
it.
Also I found that \abjadnumerals were referring to
converters.arabicnumerals witch doesn't exist, I changed it to
converters.abjadnumerals but there is no converters.abjadnaivenumerals
and I've no idea what it is supposed to do.

[NTG-context] How does MPinclusions work in mkiv?
Hello (Hans),
this minimal example worked OK in mkiv back in May (most of settings
in the code below are just unimportant cosmetics, but otherwise it's
difficult to explain the idea behind); now it still works in mkii, but
not in mkiv.
\def\mynextmpgraphic{\startMPinclusions erase_picture := 1; \stopMPinclusions}
\startusableMPgraphic{bubble}
if erase_picture = 0:
draw last_picture;
else:
% draw a new picture; in mkiv this code is only reached once,
% \mynextgraphic does not reset erase_picture
fi;
\stopusableMPgraphic
The code is ugly anyway, I know, but how should I reset variables to
redraw the picture once more?
Thanks a lot,
Mojca

[NTG-context] Color in math in MkIV
Hi,
The color commands do not work inside math mode in MKIV. For example
$f(\color[blue]{A}) = b$
$f({\blue A}) = b$
come out black and
$f(\blue{A}) = b$
colors everything blue. I have an easy work around for the moment:
\unprotected\def\mathcolor[#1]#2%
{\preparebinrel{#2}
[EMAIL PROTECTED] #2$}}}
and then use \mathcolor.

[NTG-context] cont-de help for context with MK IV
Hi for all of you who want to compile documents with context under MK IV
you can use
luatools --make --compile cont-xx
to compile your language, hereby you must replace xx by the country-code of
your desired language
and with
luatools --run cont-xx myfile
you can compile your document.
If you are using the chemic-modul you should add the following to your
preamble to let it compile correctly:

Thanks here to Wolfgang Schuster you just helped to figure out this howto.
The question is now how could one give the language-option over to context by
the context command or by edit the sourcefile with a command so that the
command has the following input:
context myfile
with the language-option in a context-command in the source-file or like
context --lang=de myfile
where the --lang option refers to the above luatools option so that default
luatools --run cont-en myfile is invoken and if --lang=xx is set the command
is invoken in the following way luatools --run cont-xx myfile.
Would be nice if one of the programmers could just implement the following
option in MK IV.
Greetings

[NTG-context] Installing ConTeXt Minimals on a Mac ... and using bibtex
I have the minimals installed in ~/Applications/context/
Context works great. However, I'm having trouble with bibtex.
[1] I export the following variables before using context.
. ~/Applications/context/tex/setuptex ~/Applications/context/tex
export TEXMFHOME='$HOME/Library/texmf'
export TEXMF='{$TEXMFHOME,!!$TEXMFPROJECT,!!$TEXMFFONTS,!!
$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFCONTEXT,!!$TEXMFEXTRA,!!$TEXMFMAIN}';
(I added export PATH=/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-intel/
bin:$PATH but that didn't seem to make a difference in a couple of
quick trials)
[2] The problem is that the minimal's bibtex can't find the bib file
that I have stored in ~/Library/texmf/bibtex/bib/
It reports: I couldn't open database file bib-name.bib and I found
no database files---while reading file file-name.aux
[3] which bibtex yields the path to the bibtex installed with the
minimals:
/path-to-my-user-account/Applications/context/tex/texmf-osx-intel/bin/
bibtex
[4] When I open a new shell session, which bibtex points to /usr/
texbin/bibtex. In this new shell, bibtex finds the bib file.
It's a small thing, but if there's some other setting to make bibtex
work in the same shell session that context does, that would be nice.
Thanks!

You have two different installations of tex on your computer. By default
the old distribution is used. When you run setuptex (with appropriate
arguments) the new distribution is used first.

For setting HOMETEXMF you can help yourself, though it would be

I have modified the texmf.cnf in
./Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf/web2c with the lines

I probably told you wrong, but:
1.) you have HOMETEXMF first and then TEXMFHOME: these need to be
equal
2.) unless you are following (3), don't modify the file in texmf/,
but create
/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-local/web2c/texmf.cnf
instead, else the file will be overwritten at first update
3.) even then I'm not completely sure, but I guess that
environmental
variables override settings in texmf.cnf, so you either need to
a) modify setuptex (rename it and run the renamed file instead of
setuptex)
b) only export PATH and not run setuptex at all; in that case values
from texmf.cnf will be used
- maybe you need to run mktexlsr or luatools --generate
OK. One quick reply just to see if I am on track.
I have created /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-local/web2c/
texmf.cnf
where texmf.cnf now has
export HOMETEXMF=~/Library/texmf
export TEXMF='{$HOMETEXMF,$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFOS,!!$TEXMFCONTEXT,!!
(hopefully the line continues ...)
The lines you have written here belong to setuptex, not to
texmf.cnf. The syntax for setuptex is slightly different.
HOMETEXMF = ~/Library/texmf
# single line
TEXMF = {$HOMETEXMF,!!$TEXMFPROJECT,!!$TEXMFFONTS,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!
$TEXMFCONTEXT,!!$TEXMFEXTRA,!!$TEXMFMAIN}
But try putting™
export HOMETEXMF=~/Library/texmf
# single line
export TEXMF='{$HOMETEXMF,$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFOS,!!$TEXMFCONTEXT,!!
$TEXMFEXTRA,!!$TEXMFMAIN}'
into setuptex (replace the old variables). The problem is that if you
adapt texmf.cnf only, you still override those settings with setuptex.
I hope I have understood this properly. I now have
HOMETEXMF = ~/Library/texmf

There is one thing that you could try (I never use TeXShop, but
there's a change that it works):
~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/ConTeXt-pdfTeX.engine
#!/bin/bash
export PATH=/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-intel:$PATH
texexec $1
~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/ConTeXt-luaTeX.engine
#!/bin/bash
export PATH=/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-intel:$PATH
export TEXMFCACHE=/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-cache
context $1
~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/ConTeXt-XeTeX.engine
#!/bin/bash
export PATH=/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-intel:$PATH
texexec --xtx $1
(sorry for two different proposals - I should probably only send you a
single one)

It seems that there is a bug in converters.alphabetic function,
converters.alphabetic(0,arabic) returns the western 0 (no matter what

the Arabic 0 not 1 and so one i.e. it looks like as if it starts
counting from zero.
I finally got myself to understand some lua code.
I think the problem is that lua tables start counting from 1 not 0,
getting the value of key 0 from code table will give nil while 1 will
give the value of 0 (first key), so the solution would be incrementing n
by 1 in:
local function do_alphabetic(n,max,chr)
n = n + 1 -- to get the correct key
if n max then
do_alphabetic(floor((n-1)/max),max,chr)
n = (n-1)%max+1
end
characters.flush(chr(n))
end
This does work for the case of Arabic, but I don't know about others
(especially greek and slovenian which look different)
we cannot change that function without breaking other things
there are several ways to convert, one is using the languages.counters
table and i don't know if the arabic entries in it are right (i just
found out that the greek vector is uppercase while it should be
lowercase but i'll make a fix for that)
rgrep arabicn *.tex

the abjad number converters are definied differently (based on specs by
idris)
so, if the 0/1 offset is a problem then we need to fix the tables, not
the function (unless arabic follows a different logic, as chinese does)

True, but in:

There is actually no converters.arabicnumerals, only
converters.abjadnumerals, so I think this is a typo.
so, if the 0/1 offset is a problem then we need to fix the tables, not

That is OK as far as it works :) I was thrilled with how easy is lua and
thought I'd try to write some code (like a kid playing with this new toy
:p), and I don't think we have any special logic, it is essentially the
same system with different numerals.

Anyway, the revised setuptex works perfectly with the
ConTeXtMinimals.engine. Thank you again.
But the question now is, which solution do you recommend? As a user,
my preference is for the one that leaves setuptex alone and focuses on
the engines that TeXShop uses, since it makes switching form MKII to
MKIV very easy to do. (I would add that, as things stand now, I also
have easy access to my Texlive 2007 setup.) However, I am much more
interested in keeping my setup in line with development path that you,
Hans, and the others set for the minimals, since, as I gather, they
are the future of ConTeXt.

Background compatibility should not be an issue and I am failing to imagine cases where it would not be desirable. The background parameter is not fixed to 'color' or 'screen'. You can use any type of overlay background (which itself can use the parameter backgroundcolor). So the usage of 'backgroundcolor' doesn't always imply 'screen=color'. At least not in my macros.. :) is anyone using screen? deep down it's already mapped onto color anyway (the color mechanism will reduce colors anyway) .. if not, we might as well remove it from mkiv I can live without (and it's not a big deal to get the same effect with a slightly different setup).

Try this one, and play with commenting lines 1 or 2:
\pagedir TRT \bodydir TRT
\pardir TRT \textdir TRT
\setupheadertexts[from left to right]
\starttext
\input tufte\footnote{\input ward }
\placefigure
[here,force]
[fig:Mill]
{Test.}
{\externalfigure[mill]}
\input tufte\footnote{\input ward }
\stoptext
As to the original problem:
\textdir TRT
\input epsf
\epsfbox{fig.eps}\input knuth
\bye
I don't think this is an omega/aleph/luatex bug, but rather that epsf.tex
does not take the global direction change into account. It seems that, for
any figure mechanism in TeX, the coordinates of the figure need to be
vertically reversed when
\pagedir TRT \bodydir TRT
in effect.

I think I got the idea now (and this explains why the frame gets right).
