Hi all,
what is the best method to format MetaPost labels in MkII with \doattributes.
\startMPenvironment[global]
\setupcolors[state=start]

\stopMPenvironment
This gives you only bold label.
\starttext
\startMPcode
label(textext(\doattributes{label}{style}{color}{Label}),origin) ;
\stopMPcode
\stoptext
Tex colors do not work inside textext. Try
label(textext(\startcolor[red] red \stopcolor), origin) ;
One way to get around this is to use \sometxt.
label(\sometxt{\doattributes{label}{style}{color}{Label}},(5cm,0)) ;
But then you have to be careful about the differences between \sometxt in
MKII and MKIV (which I need to summarize on the wiki).
Here is a new example where I can't even use \sometxt.
\setupcolors[state=start]
\def\labelstyle{bold}
\def\labelcolor{red}
\starttext
\resetMPdrawing
\startMPdrawing
label(textext(\doattributes{label}{style}{color}{Label}),origin) ;
label(\sometxt{\doattributes{label}{style}{color}{Label}},origin) ;
\stopMPdrawing

Re: [NTG-context] A problem with itemizations
Dnia Sat, Oct 25, 2008 at 03:42:04PM +0200, Marcin Borkowski napisa#322;(a):
Hi,
I have a problem with \startitemize ... \stopitemize.
Sometimes (I have no idea when, but this effect is fully repeatable!) I
get a page break just before a \startitemize. It is nested (second
level) and follows one line of another item at the 1st level. It seems
that adding [intro] won't help. The problem occurs with [columns,two];
I don't know whether this has any influence - when I change the setup
(in the preamble) the page breaks fall in different places, and all my
2nd level itemizations are 2nd level (and I have quite a lot of them).
Any ideas? I know that the above is rather vague, but it's difficult to
prepare a minimal example etc.
So, it took a while, but I got kind of a minimal example:
\starttext
\startitemize[intro]
\dorecurse{12}{%
\item \dorecurse{\recurselevel}{This is some intro. }Intro ends here.
\startitemize[intro,columns,two]
\dorecurse{4}{%
\item \dorecurse{1}{This is a test. }End of the test.
}%
\stopitemize
}%
\stopitemize
\stoptext
(This shows the problem in the online ConTeXt.)
Also, Hans, do I get it correctly that the itemization code will get
rewritten in MkIV? If yes, is there any chance of having unpacked
itemizations in 2 and more columns? And any chance of having an
explicit column break (or a preference) in multicolumn itemizations?
And one more request (not really urgent, but would be nice): if there's
an \item followed directly by another \startitemize (possibly
two-column), a line break is enforced. Does it have to be?
Thanks greets

\definereferenceformat[initem][left=\ItemNumber]
Since I don't speak that language, someone could explain why this code
doesn't work when I put a stopper in subitemization?
The standard dot isn't a stopper itself?
This code seems to work (approximately) like this: it expands the full
reference, which is:
number dot number dot something, probably space
and selects everything from the first dot up to the second one (w/o the
dots themselves). So I consider it to be a bit dirty hack (sorry,
Wolfgang;)), in a sense that it is not very flexible.
It's just hack at user level, a dirty hack would redefine core macros but
this is what I try to avoid.
If your stopper is, say ) (and the second one, say, ], so you have
references in a strange form like 1)2]), you might want to say
something like
\def\doItemNumber #1)#2]#3\relax
(the space after \doItemNumber is gobbled by TeX, so it might be present
here or not, it is a matter of taste only).
If you have different stoppers, another approach might be reasonable. I
can see two possibilities:
1. Get to know _where_ ConTeXt really keeps the relevant info about
labels; if the info about the values (w/o stoppers) is preserved, we are
saved, if not, we've got a problem;
2. so in the latter case we have to (?) use this kind of hacky solution,
which might be something like this (assuming that \stopper and \stopperr
are the first- and second level stoppers respectively):
\edef\sometemporarymacroname{%
\def\noexpand\doItemNumber ##1\stopper ##2\stopperr ##3\relax
{\noexpand\doifelsenothing{##2}
{##1}
{##2}}%
}%
\sometemporarymacroname
(I'm not sure whether the last percentage sign is needed, but a good
rule of thumb is to put them everywhere after closing brace newline,
so that the newlines don't get translated into spaces.)
You don't need the comment sign at the end of the macro in outer level
but you need it for local definitons in other macros if your're in
horizontal mode.
I'm not sure whether this works, though, *please* check it and tell me
(maybe I'm doing some stupid error, please the TeX gurus correct me if
yes). I hope this is ok, though, because then it my first post to this
list containing actually an _answer_ and not a _question_:))).
Thanks to explain my solution.

[NTG-context] Load context format at runtime (from luatex)
Hi,
I would like to run (if possible) the context format at runtime. In
fact, I'd like to create a custom format for my own document and I want
my format to inherit ConTeXt (mostly because of utf-8 support).
At the beginning of my document, I added:
\input format
And at the beginning of format.tex, I added:
\input context
But now, when I execute the document using (pdf)luatex, I get an error
in some lua chunk:
pdfluatex document.tex

If I use context instead of (pdf)luatex, it seems there is an infinite

file /usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/syst-prm.tex
If I remove the inclusion of context in my format (the \input line) I
get another error (but I can't find where it is). The last lines looks
like:

Do you know how I can create my format based on ConTeXt? It doesn't
seems that easy :/ And I would prefer not to be dependant from ConTeXt
(that is if I want to use another format for my document instead of
ConTeXt, I want to be able to do that). And I also would prefer using
the generic (pdf)luatex instead of context.
Thanks.

And to ease my work (espacially around the utf-8 encoding) I wanted to use ConTeXt which already provides high level features. I guess I'm trying to do some kind of unsupported things. then you have to roll out your own code, (i.e why bother about context if you want to use your own code) Because ConTeXt provides some high level features (like utf-8, I have no idea how to read utf-8 documents in plain TeX). at some time in the future i will provide a system based on independent components, so that one can make a 'small context like thing' but it has a real low priority (unless someone pays for the effort) That, I can understand :) So, I'll dig a little bit more to see what I can do.

Since I don't speak that language, someone could explain why this code
doesn't work when I put a stopper in subitemization?
The standard dot isn't a stopper itself?
This code seems to work (approximately) like this: it expands the full
reference, which is:
number dot number dot something, probably space
and selects everything from the first dot up to the second one (w/o the
dots themselves). So I consider it to be a bit dirty hack (sorry,
Wolfgang;)), in a sense that it is not very flexible.
It's just hack at user level, a dirty hack would redefine core macros but
this is what I try to avoid.
OK, sorry - probably we have different semantics of dirty (or, more
probably, we're talking about different levels of dirtiness). Here I
meant roughly that this hack is not very flexible.
If your stopper is, say ) (and the second one, say, ], so you have
references in a strange form like 1)2]), you might want to say
something like
\def\doItemNumber #1)#2]#3\relax
(the space after \doItemNumber is gobbled by TeX, so it might be present
here or not, it is a matter of taste only).
If you have different stoppers, another approach might be reasonable. I
can see two possibilities:
1. Get to know _where_ ConTeXt really keeps the relevant info about
labels; if the info about the values (w/o stoppers) is preserved, we are
saved, if not, we've got a problem;
2. so in the latter case we have to (?) use this kind of hacky solution,
which might be something like this (assuming that \stopper and \stopperr
are the first- and second level stoppers respectively):
\edef\sometemporarymacroname{%
\def\noexpand\doItemNumber ##1\stopper ##2\stopperr ##3\relax
{\noexpand\doifelsenothing{##2}
{##1}
{##2}}%
}%
\sometemporarymacroname
(I'm not sure whether the last percentage sign is needed, but a good
rule of thumb is to put them everywhere after closing brace newline,
so that the newlines don't get translated into spaces.)
You don't need the comment sign at the end of the macro in outer level
but you need it for local definitons in other macros if your're in
horizontal mode.
Shame on me, being a mathematician and being sooo imprecise:):)
I'm not sure whether this works, though, *please* check it and tell me
(maybe I'm doing some stupid error, please the TeX gurus correct me if
yes). I hope this is ok, though, because then it my first post to this
list containing actually an _answer_ and not a _question_:))).
Thanks to explain my solution.
You're welcome:).

As above; send me a file, I'll try to do something. Still, I'm not
really sure this would work, it was only a rough idea. I'll explain it
later (it's 1:30 AM here in Poland;)).

This time will never come for me.
If you follow the path of TeX, your expertise will gradually rise;).
You'll never notice, though, until people start coming to you asking
questions, and will be baffled by your expert-like,
impossible-to-understand-and-technical answers;).
