--purge.
Thanks Aditya: actually that utility file .tuc can be deleted for some
situations (for instance when one does a small test) and kept for others.
Maybe for those who do not use ConTeXt from a Terminal, but rather from editors
like TeXShop or TeXWorks, one could have a feature to pass typesetting options
to mkiv, for instance like a \setuptypesetting command, to be put in the first
five lines of a document, which accepts various parameters such as for example
\setuptypesetting[purge=yes,synctex={yes,zipped},engine=mkiv]
to pass options to mkiv. But this is probably too complicated.

the job is already running and one needs tex to parse such commands
there are two ways (rather old features btw) to control a job:
- some directives can be given on the first line of a file
- you can make a jobname.ctx file (there are a few examples in the
distribution)
the last one is the most flexible as there can be a file per job or a
shared one

as an experiment i now also check the preamble for a ctxfile specification
make a file preferences.ctx, put it someplace in the tree and run
mtxrun --generate:
?xml version='1.0' standalone='yes'?
ctx:job
ctx:messagedefault flags/ctx:message
ctx:flags
ctx:flagpurge/ctx:flag
ctx:flagsynctex=zipped/ctx:flag
/ctx:flags
/ctx:job
then you can say:
% ctxfile=preferences

[NTG-context] Problem with units and problem with libraries
Hi all,
recently I installed TeXlive 2013. In a document, I ran into the problem
with font sizes: only points and ems operates properly in contrast
to other units giving the basic (12pt) size.
The same behaviour gives ConTeXt in TL2012. Older TL2011 and TL2010 are OK.
Mimimal example:
\starttext \def\text[#1]{blah blah --- #1: {\setupbodyfont[#1]blah blah}\par}
% O.K.
\text[8pt]
\text[0.5em]
%% K.O.
\text[4pc]
\text[1in]
\text[12mm]
\text[1cm]
\text[50sp]
\text[0.5ex]
\text[6dd]
\text[0.5cc]
\stoptext
Therefore, a few days ago I tried to install the current version
from the garden. Shortly after the beginning of execution, the
first-setup.sh script broke down with the following error:
texlua: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7' not found (required by texlua)
texlua: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.11' not found (required by texlua)
It was discussed in this list on May, so I tried the following
but without the password for svn I was not successful.
svn co http://svn.contextgarden.net/suite/build-binaries
./do_all.sh
Thanks in advance for advice, help and/or password.
Best wishes,
Tomas Hala

Re: [NTG-context] EPUB XHTML Format
Hi.
of course we could alternatively export all as div class=tag-subtag-...
but i don't like that too much; html itself is not rich enough for our
purpose
What about giving developers the ability to change the destination element?
For example:
\setuplist[chapter][
xml={\starttag[h1]#1\stoptag}
]
Would produce, upon export:
h1Chapter/h1
Or (using export instead of xml; I don't care what it is named):
\setuplist[chapter][
export={\starttag[div]\startattribute[class]{chapter}#1\stopattribute\stoptag}}
]
Similarly, this would produce:
div class=chapterChapter/div
This would offer the flexibility of custom XML documents without affecting
the default behaviour.
* Generates XHTML headers (including !DOCTYPE and html...)
not needed as we're 'standalone'
Having the ability to produce the !DOCTYPE... and htmnl elements could
be as simple as:
\setupexport[
standalone=no,
]
* Produces images as img tags, rather than float tags.
the css can deal with them (info is written to files for that)
Yes, but they aren't standard. There is an ecosystem of tools (e.g.,
Calibre, normalizing CSS templates, etc.), not to mention a widespread
knowledge-base, that groks the minimal XHTML specification. Plus, using XML
tags that are not in the minimal XHTML spec. means more testing on more
devices to make sure that their XHTML parsers render correctly.
xhtml has no typical tags .. it's xml + css (or xslt) ... unfortunately
browsers have
That is, a Strictly Conforming XHTML Document, as per:
http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xhtml1-2126/#docconf
the export of context is in fact just xml, and by tagging it as xhtml we
can apply css to it; but if someone has a workflow for producing epub an
option if to postprocess that xml file into whatever epub one wants
I could transform the ConTeXt-generated XML into strictly conforming XHTML,
but it was a step I was hoping to avoid. Right now my process is:
1. Convert XML data to a ConTeXt .tex file.
2. Convert ConTeXt to either PDF or EPUB.
3. Stylize EPUB using CSS.
I want to use ConTeXt here (instead of going directly from XML data to
EPUB) because ConTeXt provides functionality such as multiple indexes,
table-of-contents, and bundling the .epub. Having an extra step to generate
strictly conforming XHTML is architecturally painful as it means
transforming the document three times (XML - ConTeXt, ConTeXt - XML, then
XML - XHTML).
Everytime we look into epub there's another issue ... it's not a standard
but reversed engineered application mess (happen soften with xml: turn some
application data structures into xml and call it a standard)
Some book vendors only accept validating EPUBs. ConTeXt is documented as
being able to generate EPUBs. The documentation should state the EPUBs do
not validate and do not generate strictly conforming XHTML.
I have spent the last three weeks converting documents from LaTeX to
ConTeXt because the documentation stated that ConTeXt can produce EPUBs.
While true, the documentation did not mention its shortcomings. Had I known
in advance, I probably would have gone straight to EPUB using Java or, with
a little revulsion, PHP classes. ;-) That said, I probably should have
tested this feature sooner. :-)
as i have no real use/demand for epub it's not something i look into on a
daily basis
How can I help resolve these issues?
Merely testing (which I am happy to do) isn't going to produce a strictly
conforming XHTML document.
Kindest regards.

[NTG-context] Footnote number in different font?
Hello List, this is a nitpick, but it's an itch that's been itching me for a couple of days now. When you put a footnote to Arabic text, the little number (like this one: ²) appears in the font the Arabic text is in, which makes it look distinct from the other footnote numbers in the text and thus difficult to identify for the eye. I'm using \setupnotation[footnote][before=\lefttoright] to keep the footnotes from appearing completely mirrored, but haven't been able to find out a way what else to put there (perhaps next to the \lefttoright) to affect the font of the little number. Is there a way to do that? Cheers, J.
