Re: [NTG-context] First time user trying to get Context to work
The problem has been solved. It turned out Ruby is installed twice on my computer. One is the regular download from www.ruby-lang.org, the other one came with cygwin (which I wasn't aware of). The cygwin path string was before the c:\ruby path string. When I moved the c:\ruby path before the cygwin path Context worked correctly. And this took me a full day of hacking. Sigh.

[NTG-context] ConTeXt Minimals parsing of .tui broken with ruby 1.9.1 in Windows
Hello all,
I want to report a problem that is either in ConTeXt, or in ruby 1.9.1
(last version of ruby). More probably, the problem has to do with ruby
handling non-ASCII characters. I have no means of trying Linux, Solaris,
etc...
Anyone using ConTeXt with ruby 1.9.1 will face it probably (at least in
Windows :-)
The problem happens with all files, even with the simple Hello:
\starttext
Hello World
\stoptext
After installing ConTeXt Minimals (the devel version) yesterday,
I ran the above example with ruby 1.9.1-p129 in Windows
(both Win 2000 and XP show the problem).
Meanwhile I compiled and tried several versions of Ruby, and found the
following pattern of problems:
ruby 1.9.1p129 (2009-05-12 revision 23412) [i386-mingw32] PROBLEM
ruby 1.9.1p0 (2009-01-30 revision 21907) [i386-mingw32]PROBLEM
ruby 1.9.0 (2008-10-04 revision 19669) [i386-mingw32] No problem
ruby 1.8.7 (2009-06-12 patchlevel 174) [i386-mingw32] No problem
ruby 1.8.6 (2009-06-08 patchlevel 369) [i386-mingw32] No problem
So, whatever it is, it is broken with ruby 1.9.1.
All the versions of ruby were compiled in Windows using the mingw toolchain,
with GCC 3.4.5.
Here is the description of what happens
When texutil parses the .tui file, I get the following (see comments after
this text output):
-
...
Output written on con-hello1.pdf (1 page, 21759 bytes).

The lines with debug 1 jasa and starting with xxx result from
the simple debug code I inserted in the file texutil.rb to find the
problematic line. The error happens when the following ruby code
is executed: (the extra debug lines have a mark # jasa )
-- texutil.rb (snippet, around line 1025)
--

begin
tuifile = File.suffixed(filename,'tui')
if FileTest.file?(tuifile) then
report(parsing file #{tuifile})
if f = open(tuifile) then
report(debug 1 jasa #{f}) # jasa
f.each do |line|
print xxx #{line} # jasa
case line.chomp
when /^f (.*)$/o then
@plugins.reader('MyFiles',$1.splitdata)
when /^c (.*)$/o then

when /^s (.*)$/o then
@plugins.reader('MySynonyms', $1.splitdata)
when /^r (.*)$/o then
@plugins.reader('MyRegisters',$1.splitdata)
when /^p (.*)$/o then
@plugins.reader('MyPlugins', $1.splitdata)
when /^x (.*)$/o then
@plugins.reader('MyKeys', $1.splitdata)
when /^r (.*)$/o then # nothing, not handled

else
# report(unknown entry #{line[0,1]} in line
#{line.chomp})
end
end
f.close
end
else
report(unable to locate #{tuifile})
end
rescue
report(fatal error in parsing #{tuifile})
@filename = 'texutil'
else
@filename = filename
end
end
---
From the debugging lines that are expelled, it is clear that the line in the
.tui file that triggers the problem is:
c \thisisbytesequence{ ...non-ASCII codes... }
and, precisely, it s the second line of the 'case':
when /^c (.*)$/o then @plugins.reader('MyCommands', [$1])
which processes the .tui line and triggers the 'rescue' clause. So I think
the problem lies in the digestion
of non-ASCII characters by the last version of Ruby.
I don't know what is the meaning of the \thisisbytesequence line in ConTeXt
and the maening of those non-ASCII chars. I followed the
@plugins.reader('MyCommands', [$1])
and figured out that what raises the exception happens before the
@plugins.reader method,
since it is never reached when the \thisisbytesequence line is

(maybe mojca can patch this in core-uti.mkii: ):
% \appendtoks

% \to \everyopenutilities
\let\testbytesequence \empty % keep this
\let\thisisbytesequence\gobbleoneargument % keep this
The reason for this test is that in the past there were engines around
that were 8 bit but configured to be 7 bit. Especially tetex was a
problem but as that is now obsolete we can remove this test.
Meanwhile I compiled and tried several versions of Ruby, and found the
following pattern of problems:
ruby 1.9.1p129 (2009-05-12 revision 23412) [i386-mingw32] PROBLEM

So, whatever it is, it is broken with ruby 1.9.1.
All the versions of ruby were compiled in Windows using the mingw toolchain,
with GCC 3.4.5.
actually, ruby 1.9+ broke the scripts anyway, as some file related
functionality was no longer available (and moved to modules) so i
already adapted all the ruby scripts

c \thisisbytesequence{ ...non-ASCII codes... }

looks that way ... quite disturbing if they changed the default; maybe
they move to utf8 but then i'd expect that to happen in 2+ versions
thanks for looking into it

[NTG-context] alpha release
Hi I've put an alpha release on the website - no beta as mkiv needs the trunk version of luatex - a close to complete split in mkii/mkiv - cleaned up mkiv code - cleaned up mkiv backend (some pending issues) - some speedups in mkiv - a few fixes in mkii - updated mkiv typescripts (more to come) - fixes in mkiv structure this version is not replicated on the context garden as we run older luatex binaries there (0.45 release by the end of this month) you can unzip this file on your locla tree but best first rename the tex/context/base directory and make a fresh one as otherwise you end up with a weird mixture (due to the definitive split in .mkii/.mkiv there are not that many shared .tex files any more) on the upcoming tex live there will be an updated mkii (either this one or the current beta which is basically a current for mkii) and an old mkiv (maybe the beta) or a new one but that one will not run then with the luatex on texlive as it is too old; this is no big deal as you can either use the minimals or use the new updater in the upcoming tex live to fetch newer binaries (norbert and mojca showed that trickery at bachotek 2009) next on the mkiv agenda is an upgrade/rework of everything related to page building but it might as well be postponed till we have a bit more access (which will happen sometime after eurotex); the first priority is to get the new structure related code right but as idris is already publising books made by mkiv it's not that bad as it sounds.

[NTG-context] XML one more time.
I have the xml sources for the Gimp manual. I can't seem to get them to translate to a pdf. The top xml file just contains a series of calls to subordinate files. When I run this through Context I get just the text of the first file in no particular format and none of the subfiles. I have tried texexec --environment=gimp gimp.xml and texexec --environment=xml gimp.xml The Gimp advice is to use dblatex, but that seems to think it is on a Windows system and generates errors containing code like c:\foo Now I can hand convert each and every xml statement in each and every subfile to a TeX equivalent but there should be a shorter way. There are more than 600 subfiles. Or I can write a program to do that to either the xml source or the html derivative. But I hope Context will enable me to do it with less labor. BTW the html generation works flawlessly following the approved Gimp script. -- John Culleton Create Book Covers with Scribus/e-book $5.95 http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

Re: [NTG-context] TeXLive newbie can't run Context
Hans, Please pardon these very basic questions. Do I understand correctly that Context requires that a Ruby compiler that is not part of the TexLive package be installed? I had not previously heard of the Ruby language so know nothing about it. I assume that there are competing compilers/interpreters for the language and various releases of those compilers. Which compilers are compatible with TexLive? Does this compiler need to be installed in any particular directory?

Re: [NTG-context] XML one more time.

The top xml file just contains a series of calls to subordinate files. When I run this through Context I get just the text of the first file in no particular format and none of the subfiles. I have tried texexec --environment=gimp gimp.xml and texexec --environment=xml gimp.xml The Gimp advice is to use dblatex, but that seems to think it is on a Windows system and generates errors containing code like c:\foo Now I can hand convert each and every xml statement in each and every subfile to a TeX equivalent but there should be a shorter way. There are more than 600 subfiles. Or I can write a program to do that to either the xml source or the html derivative. But I hope Context will enable me to do it with less labor. You have to define what should happen with each file in the docbook source, there is a old module for ConTeXt to do this but I don't know if it works with a recent installation.
