[NTG-context] Microtype in ConTeXt
Dear all, I am thinking about moving from LaTeX to ConTeXt. But there is one thing make this particularly difficult. That is the microtype LaTeX package. More specifically I have the following questions (assuming I will use MKIV and luatex) 1. I understand that ConTeXt can do margin kerning and font expansion, but is there a way to setup a configuration file for each font set. Like the mt-foo.cfg file for font family foo when using microtype in latex. 2. Is there a way to do letterspace in ConTeXt. I understand there is a command called \stretched. But what I want is the feature like the tracking option in microtype package, which can automatically letterspace all small caps. Moreover is there a way to define new sets of fonts for letterspace. For example I defined a new font shape called \capshape, which use case tags of OpenType, and I want to use letterspace this shape with certain amount all the time because I am not satisfied with the space provided by the cpsp tag of OpenType. I am sorry for using and LaTeX terminology. I haven't start learning ConTeXt at all at this stage. I want to first know if it provide all the features I need before I spend my time on learning a new language. ___ 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 : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

You appear to be running the latest context and luatex 0.50 (not the ones on texlive) so you could try updating luatex again. The easiest would be to fetch a new binary from the context minimals, but it looks like the minimals are not quite up to speed with the luatex releases yet, so you may have to build 0.52.0 from source: http://foundry.supelec.fr/gf/project/luatex/frs/ Best wishes, Taco ___ 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 : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
[NTG-context] margin text
Hi all,
This is a reaction to a post in another thread, setupinmargin failing,
but it does not seem to directly concern the problem raised there (by
Hans van der Meer). So I raise it as a new problem.
I tried the code supplied by Luigi Scarso in ntg-context Digest, Vol
69, Issue 127, Message 1:
\showframe
\setuppapersize[A4][A3]
\setuplayout[location=middle]
\setupinmargin[left][align=left,foregroundcolor=red]
\setupinmargin[right][align=right,foregroundcolor=blue]
\starttext
ABC\inright{\framed[width=10mm,height=5mm,foregroundcolor=red]{R1 }}
%% override blue, but not for frame
\inleft{\tfx A small note in this margin. But we need to setup
something before \ldots }
\stoptext
A few things in the result surprise, and worry, me:
1, the actual text page does not coincide with (what I assume is) the
reserved space on the A3-folio (that is, it partially falls outside
the area with the green border). Thus in particular the left margin
with its margin text falls partly outside this area (which is also
clear when one uses \setuppapersize[A4][A4] in the preamble. ) The
margin itself is, of course, wide enough to contain the margin note.
Why is this and how can it be avoided?
In fact this usually happens to me: the margins partly fall outside
the page. Very annoying.
2, \setupinmargin[left][align=left,.. ] actually right-aligns the
left margin note and vice versa. To left-align it I had to give
\setupinmargin[right].
Seems odd to me.
Is this normal?
Since I frequently have to use margin texts I hope somebody can help me out.
Best regards,
Robert Blackstone

yes .
I have these line
\setuppapersize[A4][A3]
\setuplayout[location=middle]
right to show that default layout --- and it's the default layout from
10years at least ---
perhaps is not adeguate to your needs; you need to setup* something.
align (and ragged align) have always confused me, and I suspect that
here aligns are corrects.

[NTG-context] CMap in MkII

[NTG-context] 3D annotations - was: status of node.write
Dear Hans,
On Wed, 24 Mar 2010, Hans Hagen wrote:
there is u3d support presen tbut nobody tested it
thank you for your latest effort to put u3d support in a working state,
but as of now even the most basic test from back-u3d.mkiv does not work
and is not supposed to:
grph-u3d.lua needs adding to the preamble
local pdfannotation = nodes.pdfannotation
local todimen = string.todimen
and replacing
node.write(annotation... with node.write(pdfannotation(annotation...
to at least make code run without throwing error messages.
lpdf-u3d.lua has more severe problem:
-- weird, has to be a /Form and not an /Image so we need a wrap = true
key
-- local figure = img.immediatewrite { filename = preview, width =
width, height = height }
local figure = img.immediatewrite { stream = .5 .75 .75 rg 0 0 20 10 re
f, bbox = {0,0,20,10 } }
shows that option to include a bitmap preview image into 3d
annotation is just commented out.
On the other hand, an approach like in LaTeX package attachfile2 may be
convenient - a PDF with just 3D annotation and minimal support elements
(with or without preview) is attached to the main document, that has a
clickable image that activates that attached PDF document in a separate
window.
In this case the preparation of the attaced PDF can be
completely delegated to external utility.
Does attachfile2 analog work in ConTeXt now?
Where to look for usage examples?
Sincerely, Michail

[NTG-context] Compiling under Windows (Visual Studio 2008)
Hi
I hope this message is not too off topic but I thought I would
ask here first. I would very much like to (try...) to compile LuaTeX
using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. But I'm not sure if this is likely
to be enormously complex and maybe too difficult (for me, anyway).
Does the list know it is possible to build LuaTeX
under Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 --- if so, is this
possible from Taco's source distribution without having
to make substantial changes to anything.
One small thing I can confirm is that Lunatic Python can be quite easily
compiled to a Windows DLL to enable Python calls from Lua and hence
LuaTeX on Windows. LuaTeX's support for exteral modules now makes
it quite easy to do this.
I can confirm this seems to work, although I've
not really pushed it hard. The following very simple example does
work. Inspiration for doing this is due to the intersting article
by Luigi Scarso in the latest TUGBOAT.
Here's a simple example (far away from the complexities of Luigi's
work, but it shows the basic principle). This code is just quick hack
to get it up and running.
\directlua 0{
lib=package.loadlib('python.dll','luaopen_python')
lib()
pmw = python.globals()
p=python.import('Image')
im = p.open(c:\\logo.gif)
r,s,t=im.format, im.size, im.mode
tex.print(r,tostring(s),tostring(t))
sys = python.import(sys);
tex.print(tostring(sys.version_info))
}
\stoptext
Many thanks in advance to anyone who has time to share their
expertise and insight on a Windows build. Why build it? Just as a way to
learn more about how it works, that's it really.
Warm wishes to all
Graham

i'll add it but simply with
\setupcharacterkerning[kerncharacters][factor=#1]%
there is no reason to use a different model than we have now (also,
these 1000 based values are old fashioned tex approaches that don't make
much sense nowadays)

Re: [NTG-context] Bibtex change short key
Dear Taco,
I use the excellent BibTex module with this setup:
\setupbibtex[database=biblio,sort=author]
\setuppublications[alternative=apa,refcommand=short,sorttype=bbl,criterium=cited]
So if I have something like this
@ARTICLE{Akimoto2005,
author = {R. Akimoto and B. S. Li and K. Akita and T. Hasama},
...
}
in my *.bib file, the \cite[Akimoto2005] results in [ALAH05]. Is there a way
to
get only the first author with three letters and the year ([Aki05]) in the
citation?
Patch the generated .bbl file by hand. after its initial creation, it
will not be modified by context itself anymore.
May be I should have tried it first, before editting about 200 entries as you
suggested. As far as I can judge from the timestamp, at my system the bbl file
is generatet every time I run texexec. Have I missed something?
Thanks
Hubertus

[NTG-context] marginal note problems
Thank you for the help with headers---it worked. My marginal note
problems continue:
If I have a two-column text with margins on either side, is there a
way for \inmargin{} or something like it to place text in the margin
next to the column where it occurs? I haven't been able to avoid it
overprinting the text in the opposite column.
I tried using margin blocks but I couldn't get anywhere with them. Even:
\startmarginblock
test
\stopmarginblock
produces no output. And there is a new wrinkle:
\setupinmargin[align=outer] ruins my footnotes. It causes the
footnote marks that occur before the notes themselves to appear one
margin-length left of where they should be, even if the overprint
text.

thank you for your latest effort to put u3d support in a working state, but
now that Adobe has fallen in love with a new 3D format, PRC, the following
is to be changed:
lpdf-u3d.lua
if not stream then
local attr = pdfdictionary {
Type= pdfconstant(3D),
-Subtype = pdfconstant(U3D),
}
+if string.upper(string.sub(foundname,-4))==.PRC then
+attr.Subtype = pdfconstant(PRC)
+else
+attr.Subtype = pdfconstant(U3D)
+end
local streamviews = checkedkey(streamparam, views, table)
if streamviews then
local list = pdfarray()
May be a more robust way is to read first 3 bytes of the model file, since
U3D or PRC signature is always there - that can be done instead of
relying on file name extension or only in case it it not u3d or prc.
Also PRC annotations have to trigger setting PDF version to 1.7.3
(developer extensions dictionary mechanism).
It can be done per your advice directly
\doPDFaddtocatalog {
/Extensions
/ADBE
/BaseVersion /1.7
/ExtensionLevel 3
}
But what about an interface like \pdfmicroversion and
automatic pushing up of PDF version once PRC annontation happens?
Also I try to remind you about pdfboolean problem in lpdf-ini.lua
(old code is not OK if b is false and default is true)
local function pdfboolean(b,default)
-if ((type(b) == boolean) and b) or default then
-return p_true
+if type(b) ~= boolean then
+if default then
+return p_true
+else
+return p_false
+end
else
-return p_false
+if b then
+return p_true
+else
+return p_false
+end
end
end
Sincerely, Michail
PS. And a great palliative way to deal with 3D annotations is via
attaching a 3D PDF file made with LaTeX (by Asymptote, for example).
But while your method of answering my messages in lua works OK for
new code (updating minimals and making a diff with old code is not
harder than checking e-mail inbox - Your morning patch, sir! ;),
I can not deduce from existing sea of ConTeXt code the status of file
attachments support.
