[NTG-context] End notes and compile per chapter question
I have a book project with a structure I copied a few years ago from
some instructional page. The product file looks like this:
\startproduct prd_book
\project project_teoada
\starttext
\start
\startstandardmakeup \ss
\hairline \start
\switchtobodyfont[20pt]\bf
\leftaligned{Test Project Title}%
\stop \hairline \blank[line]\rightaligned{Gerben Wierda}%
\blank[10cm]\start\leftskip=10cm\hairline\stop
\rightaligned{1995--2006}%
\stopstandardmakeup
\stop
\startfrontmatter
\completecontent
\component c_foo
\stopfrontmatter
\startbodymatter
\component c_bar
\component c_foobar
\stopbodymatter
\startappendices
\component c_endnotes
\stopappendices
\stoptext
\stopproduct
My book has per page notes as well as more lengthy end notes which end
up in a chapter at the end of the book. c_endnotes.tex looks like this:
\startcomponent c_endnotes
\product prd_book
\project project_teoada
\starttext
\startbuffer [chapter:quote]
ToDo
\stopbuffer
\chapter[h:endnotes]{Notes}
\placenotes[endnote]
\stoptext
\stopcomponent
But I would at this stage like to compile the chapters per chapter.
This works, but if I compile c_chapter1.tex, I do not get the endnotes
of the chapter.
How do I go about it that when compiling per chapter, I get the
endnotes for that chapter at the end of that file, while when
compiling the entire book they go at the end of the book as they should?
Thanks,
G

Probably impossible given the lack of stability (aka ongoing development) of ConTeXt. ConTeXt could become very popular in teh TeX world if it had: - A decent versioning support (where you can get documentation and code that match and not code from 2008 with documentation from 2001) - Side-by-side development of manuals and code As it is now, the developing community is restricted to the few gurus who can hack the ConTeXt source code. No other sane person will try to release and support something on such a volatile foundation. What ConTeXt looks to me currently, is a personal swiss army knife of a few people who have no need for end user documentation (so it never arrives). I moved to ConTeXt years ago for a project expecting ConTeXt to stabilize and come with better documentation. It never happened.

Exactly. Let's give a simple example. My project needs both footnotes
and endnotes. For footnotes I have
\setupfootnotes[conversion=set 2,way=bypage]
in my environment file. For endnotes, I use \endnote and
\placenotes[endnote]
in a separate chapter in \backmatter. When I asked Hans in 2005 if
footnotes and endnotes together were possible he finished a part of
ConTeXt that was not quite done and after some testing it ended up in
ConTeXt. This is how it works.
What I would like now is to get my end notes per chapter at the end of
the chapter (because I want to work on my project per chapter and make
per-chapter pdf-files I can send to people). I have been looking for
documentation on endnotes. The term still does not appear in any
official ConTeXt manual, not on the ConTeXt wiki. So, \endnote and
\placenotes[endnote] have been there for *years*. But there is *no*
mention of it anywhere. For fun: try googling for endnote placenote.
So, let's look at the well documented code then
\def\dodoflushnotes % per class, todo: handle endnotes here
{\ifdim\ht\localpostponednotes\zeropoint
\bgroup
\dochecknote
\ifendnotes \else
;-) Seriously, do you really expect ordinary users to look at the code
of ConTeXt to find out how things can be done? I think nobody thinks
that.
Also funny: Look at what the wiki tells me about \setupfootnotes:
http://texshow.contextgarden.net/cmd/setupfootnotes
. How should a simple user like myself ever find out that the above is
possible reading the table in the wiki? And who else than ConTeXt
developers can write this? Or is it the idea that many people reverse
engineer what ConTeXt does and fill a Wiki that way?
So, what we have is Hans' and Taco's (and maybe some others) swiss
army knife under development. WIth LuaTeX and MKIV all efforts go into
the development of the entirely new engine and all the technical know
how on the inside. My expectation is that the situation with respect
to user documentation is not going to improve soon.

A freeze on all code, not even allowing bug fixes, until there's a comprehensive and unified document written by Hans and Taco (plus whoever else) that explains how to use all the features of ConTeXt, covering absolutely all possibilities including any features that are currently half-finished. Unless a new bug is introduced tomorrow that makes all ConTeXt projects come out completely blank, the nonexistent documentation makes all other bugs insignificant. (In fact, many apparent bugs turn out to have secret workarounds anyway, and those would obviously be in the documentation.) I know that such a project is viewed by Hans and Taco co. as a waste of their time, and as something that should be done only after the current burst of development is finished. I think this assessment is correct. And this is IMO also the problem. It is a waste for Taco Hans because they themselves do not need documentation. Others do. Hence my analysis that ConTeXt is not a product but a personal swiss army knife for those few that actually work on ConTeXt and for all other users it is a borrowed swiss army knife without a proper manual. - It's already proven that development isn't going to finish, but evolve. Hence my analysis that there will probably never be decent documentation unless attitudes change. And as long as Taco Hans keep developing ConTeXt it will probably not be documented. And gauging Hans Taco, they will keep on developing ConTeXt until they stop ConTeXt alltogether. - No one else can document ConTeXt without bothering the same people every five minutes anyway, so what's the difference? I was attracted to ConTeXt partly because at first sight the interface looked promisingly clean and orthogonal. But the fact that only Hans Taco can document ConTeXt for users and that all kind of secret workarounds are needed to make it work seems to indicate that assessment was wrong. - Documentation *could* be maintained and updated by someone outside of the small group, *IF* there was a reasonably up-to-date base of correct and complete documentation for them to start from. Currently, there is no such thing. Even that would not work because such a documentation maintainer would not be able to keep up with finding out what changed. You know what is funny and telling? Hans co quite recently produced a detailed, well written 158(!)-page document about the change from ConTeXt MkII to MkIV. This is documentation (promised to be kept up to date) about the technical process of developing ConTeXt/LUATeX. About how it works, about technical issues regarding speed etc. Most of it will be for ever hidden from and not interesting for ConTeXt users. 158 pages. That is book sized! For intermediary documentation of an ongoing technical development process. See: http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/mk.pdf There is no reason for a project to be frozen to create documentation. What is needed is that the developers accept that user documentation is as important as technical documentation and technical work. The developers currently see user documentation as a waste of time, because they do not need it themselves, they 'should do that when the development is finished'. What it actually means is that they like technical work far more than documentation work. So, technical work will for ever get a higher priority above user documentation work. And there will always be technical work that needs to be done before the nasty task of creating proper documentation is taken up. Concurrently, the technical work itself is indeed in many places unfinished, half, etc., mainly those places that the developers themselves are not interested in as users or where they know about workarounds and hacks. Writing user documentation in fact forces the developers to end that state of affairs and forces them not only to do documentation work (which they do not like) but it also forces them to do technical work in areas they do not like nor find interesting for their own uses. Hence, again, the assessment that ConTeXt is a personal swiss army tool for a few people. I am really wondering these days. Is there a serious stable and usable (and supported) alternative for TeX for large projects, with many cross references, footnotes, endnotes, etc. etc.?

There is, in fact, a whole lot of documentation. It may be incomplete (especially when it comes to recent developments), but that is quite different from not having documentation at all. There are thousands of pages of documentation on pragma-ade.com, and pretending they are totally inadequate by not even asserting their assistance is unfair. OK Taco, that is a fair point concerning my pov. To answer it: I have made my comments knowing quite well what documentation there is and my *personal* (your mileage may vary) experience is that it hardly helps me. My personal experience has been with a result of close to 100% that if I want to do something / find out something I am unable to find it in the docs. Also, depending on what doc you take, I recall getting different solutions (I am reminded of the various incompatible ways to do tables) and if I recall correctly some of it had to be hunted down in MAPS articles and such. Maybe the answers of my questions are there. But in that case the documentation is such that I consider myself in the situation that I am unable to get my help from it. And the documentation is not just incomplete for recent developments. I have an idea. Why not have a live ConTeXt manual.pdf where you add something in the proper location and compile the document every time you answer a question from a user? As you are the person answering anyway, it should be little extra work. For instance: I have put out a question about the (afaik completely undocumented, incomplete and certainly not recent) endnotes feature. Why not take the manual now, add the info in and recompile and do that every time a question arrives that is not in the manual or that is maybe unclear in the manual? I would suggest looking at ways to make it as easy as possible (that is, as little work as possible) for yourself to keep a userreference manual up to date. Something simple and fundamental as endnotes should not be undocumented. And limitations (like what to do if you want images in endnotes) should be available in documentation. In fact, you need only maintain one single integrated document en keep it up to date with the current ConTeXt version. Then, when you make MkIV the current ConTeXt version (and not a beta using a beta of a new compiler) you freeze the old and move to the new. Is it perhaps the case that the source of the manual is so old that it will not compile with a current ConTeXt anymore? If not, why not update it so it is less than 7 or 9 years out of date? If so, what does that possibly tell you about how valid the contents itself still are? Yours, G PS. To my own surprise (as I am a TeX fan) I have recently started to think about researching non-TeX alternatives. PPS. Before pressing send I just had a look at what is there on the pragma-ade site: http://www.pragma-ade.com/document-1.htm. I do not see any documentation other than the 1999 excursion and the 2001 'all of ConTeXt' manual. Maybe I am looking in the wrong place for documentation? ___ 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 ___

Only a few. But if I want to use ConTeXt to write a book I am definitely interested in something as mundane as endnotes. And stuff having to do with chapter beginnings, the way paragraphs should look (e.g. indentation, whitespace, line distance) for various types (e.g. a normal text paragraph, a long quote from another book, etc.). And with producing draft products (e.g. a B5 sized book that in draft is printed two-up with the even pages on the right). Or everything that has to do with ConTeXt's power in organizing projects and producing mltiple outputs from single sources. All stuff I have fought with in the past, some I find not intuitive, some of which to date I have not been able to solve in a satisfying way. Oh, and though the documentation may still be valid, I recall that I was trying to do cerrtain table stuff with what was available in the manual or excursion (the two documents that together make up the current ConTeXt documentation) and I was pointed to another way of doing tables in a MAPS article. Those are very, very mundane things you want when writing a book that are underdocumented, documented in locations that are outside the manual or not documented at all. I do not care if the manual is old. But the onging development of ConTeXt has been offered as a reason why the documentation is lacking. If this is nonsense, good. In that case there is no reason to improve the docs so they actualy give a good overview of how to do things in ConTeXt and understandable by non-ConTeXt-developers.

The separation of any of these four components would have hurt \TeX\ significantly. If I had not participated fully in all these activities, literally hundreds of improvements would never have been made, because I would never have thought of them or perceived why they were important.

Minor changes can be done by the editors. major changes go past you and Taco as editors-in-chief. Your OK promotes it to alpha. And something like a manual (book) needs to be part of it. This should be based on (imo) merging the content of the excursion and the manual. The editors should be able to start a compilation run. The result should be the 'work in progress' pdf that has a fixed location on the pragma site. So, what we initially need is some sort of svn repository with access by a limited group, a mailing list for that group only. An e-mail adress to send documentation suggestions to.

Here (and sometime earlier in the thread) you have suggested that you find the scattered documentation of ConTeXt confusing and would like to see an exhaustive manual. I agree with that in principle, but still believe that excursion and the manual should be separate. The manual can be a superset of excursion, but there needs to be beginner's manual. If there is a exhaustive manual, it will be *huge*. An exhaustive manual on math will be of the size of a book; so would an exhaustive manual on metapost/mp-lib (think of an updated metafun manual). I can also imagine an exhaustive manual for fonts to be big (how do we handle fonts for lua/xetex/pdftex; how do we handle fonts for different scripts, etc.); and fairly large manuals for floats (three four mechanism for tables, about 20 ways to move around floats, etc.), critical editions (I don't know the status of the proposed module), bib module (the user manual for biblatex, which is similar in spirit to bib module, is huge), etc. So, if we want exhaustive documentation and a beginner's manual, I see that we only have the option of expanding on the excursion to have an upto date beginner's manual, expanding on the manual to have an upto date (but not exhaustive) user manual, and have a series of specialized exhaustive manuals. But that will still mean that the documentation is scattered. The way I see it, we can update the documentation, but not really solve the problem of scattered documentation :-( Before things balloon to a size it is not feasible anymore, I would suggest keeping manualreference apart from introductory documents like excursion or 'beginners manual'. And I would be very happy if there was only one decent manualreference maintained by a group of people, complete and up to date. thers could maintain a beginner's manual on the basis of that, but add the maintenance of a second beginner's manual and suddenly one needs to maintain two things. This cannot completely be avoided (as also in the manual the same thing will be in many places as technique 1 is part of the example for technique 2, etc.). At first, I would suggest that the documentation project would consider itself with one thing: a 'user reference manual' for ConTeXt. If that succeeds and people have energy left they can do a simplified beginner's manual. Note: personally, I think a beginner's manual could be part of the big manual. Say, an 'excursion' chapter or a 'beginner's section' at the start of each chapter..

{\getbuffer[logic:implicationprogram]}
gives an empty result. This used to (say a year ago) get me the
contents of the buffer I set up earlier.
I tried the excursion, manual and wiki but only got very confused. In
the past I must have concluded that this should work and apparantly it
did. But rereading everything about \reference (wiki gives me many
hits and I cannot find the right one) I get completely confused about
what \reference exactly does with the second argument.

[NTG-context] Merging PDF document of various page sizes. Can ConTeXt help?
Hello community, I have the following problem. I need to create a single PDF file where each page may have a different size and orientation. Say the first page is A4 portrait, the second is A3 landscape and so on. Can ConTeXr help? Each page contains a PDF image of some random size that is inserted.

All so far looked at do not ignore page sizes, they set a page size for the entire document. Anyway, ConTeXt is capable, though it is difficult to get it working properly because its arguments cannot stand combinations of fit-to-size and rotation in combination. But with a lot of specific hand work and nudging, I can get there eventually.

Re: [NTG-context] Page with minimum margins, maximum text width/textheight
Thanks.
My external figures are PDFs with all weird sizes, the smaller ones, I want to
print on portrait A4 (if they are more landscape than portrait, they will be
rotated) and the larger ones on landscape A3 (again, rotated when they are more
portrait than landscape). Distorting is not allowed. So far I am doing stuff
like
\externalfigure[foo.pdf][factor=max]
\page\setuppapersize[A4,portrait][A4,portrait]
\setuplayout[backspace=10mm,topspace=10mm,width=277mm,height=190mm,header=5mm,footer=1mm]
\externalfigure[bar.pdf][orientation=90]
\page\setuppapersize[A3,landscape][A3,landscape]
\setuplayout[backspace=10mm,topspace=10mm,width=400mm,height=277mm,header=5mm,footer=1mm]
\externalfigure[foobar.pdf][factor=max]
\externalfigure[foo2.pdf][orientation=90]
\externalfigure[foo3.pdf][orientation=90]
But thanks to your suggestion, I am now doing
\rotate[rotation=90]{\externalfigure[foo.pdf][width=\vsize]}
The 'orientation' stuff of external figure doesn't work at all. It messes up
size to fit and it rotates around points such that images are rotated partly
out of the page. Your method works.

\adaptlayout[page]

You are using pdftex, so I assume it should load the font map files
in map/pdftex, not in map/dvips. But I do not know what package
supplied those map/dvips font files in the first place, so I cannot
help you any further. (that whole folder does not exist on my system)
The ConTeXt updater writes to texmf.local which takes precedence over
texmf.tetex which contains a very old ConTeXt. It seems you installed
the TeX i-Package but you did not install the ConTeXt updater.

On Nov 4, 2005, at 15:49, Taco Hoekwater wrote: Hi all, For the next issue of the ntg's Maps journal, Hans and I believe it would be nice to publish the collected responses to this simple question: What do you do with ConTeXT? I have decided not too long ago to move my book-project form LaTeX to ConTeXt (it was my second try, the first one I stopped because there were too many problems). Reason: I dislike how LaTeX output generally looks (though I found memoir to be pretty good) and after reading the documentation I liked how ConTeXt looked as an interface. I think those ideas are generally still correct, but using ConTeXt is often a wrestling match for me. The documentation is a disaster if you want to find out how things work other than the few actual examples given. Going to the source to find out what options there are is not optimal. E.g. can somebody tell mem how to prevent \textline to take up so much vertical space (and yes, I tried all the settings)? Secondly, writing is less conceptual than LaTeX and more visually oriented. That is a logical consequence of its philosophy and its layout power, but I really miss a more conceptual approach (as in a LaTeX letter class or book class) on top of ConTeXt. Lately, I have also become disappointed by the non-local nature of things I ran into (e.g. having a float in an endnote and having the float end up in the vincinity of the endnote marker in the main text, not in the endnote chapter), which are things I completely did not expect to happen. I get the feeling that ConTeXt is running into TeX-as-a-programming-environment limitations. I stick to ConTeXt for my book project, but I keep everything else still in LaTeX (e.g. letters). I still think ConTeXt has the potential to outclass LaTeX completely, but it is not there yet. For ordinary non-TeXhackers like me, it is not a smooth ride.

Re: [NTG-context] Re: Creatin metafun.mem on OSX
Andrea, what kind of installation are you using? Gerben's i-installer or fink or have you installed tetex on your own? If you want to find out where different files reside, run this command: kpsewhere mp-spec.mp on my system (Gerben's architecture), I get: /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/metapost/context/base/mp-spec.mp /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/metapost/context/base/mp-spec.mp The following comment is only valid for my redistribution: Normally, you would only have the second line (ConTeXt that is part of teTeX 3.0, which is roughly a year out of date). You only get the first line if you have installed my ConTeXt updater package. The texmf.local location is found before the texmf.tetex location, hence, installing the updater overrules what is in teTeX. Uninstalling the ConTeXt updater gets you back to the version in teTeX 3.0. You can set an automatic check for update for i-Packages in i-Installer after which you get a mail message telling you which packages have updated. The ConTeXt i-Package itself is updated automatically on the repositories if Hans releases a new version or a new beta. Which means that you'll hear about any ConTeXt update within 24 hours automatically. The ConTeXt updater is the only i-Package which is updated automatically on the repositories.

Re: Getting texfont to do batch installs on gwTeX (was Re: [NTG-context] Palatino)
David, Sorry I've been quiet on this front. I've been busy with other, non- ConTeXt things for a while, and am in the process of re-engaging with it. In order to run type-tmf.dat, you need a way around the hard-coded -- rootlist=TEXMFMAIN that's in the .dat file. gwTeX keeps the fonts we need in what it calls the TEXMFTE directory. My brutish workaround is as follows: 1) Go to some temp directory. 2) copy type-tmf into that directory: cp /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/context/data/type-tmf.dat . 3) munge type-tmf to something more gwTeX friendly: sed s/TEXMFMAIN/TEXMFTE/ type-tmf.dat type-tmf-gw.dat (literally: replace every occurrence of TEXMFMAIN with TEXMFTE and put it in type-tmf-gw.dat) 4) run texfont (prepend with sudo if you have errors): texfont type-tmf-gw.dat 5) run it again, if you want the ec encoding: texfont --en=ec type-tmf-gw.dat 6) process one or two test files to see if it really worked: texexec --once --mode=compact texnansi-urw-bookman.tex I hope that works for you. Gerben, Hans, can you think of a way to make this workaround unnecessary? texfont and/or ConTeXt seems to be keyed to a certain distribution setup. I would say that for ConTeXt that is ok (though as far as I know Hans himself keeps the fonts in TEXMFFONTS or so, so he needs a specialized type-tmf.dat as well). That the default is TeX Live also seems to be fine to me. The easiest way would be if you can give this as an argument to texfonts. Another issue is that fonts can be in multiple trees. Some i-Packages may install in texmf.local (so it can be easily uninstalled), or fonts can be in texmf.tetex or texmf.gwtex). I do not know enough about texfont, but if Hans wants to work with me we can sort that out. After all, I probably have a good example of a non-TL multi-tree setup. BTW, there are support reasons why I do not use the TEXMFMAIN name or the standard texmf-dist directory name.

That the default is TeX Live also seems to be fine to me. the reason for a separate three texmffonts is that it permits me to update the main tree (wipe out, copy new) and still have my installed extra fonts (i tried to get a texmffonts var in the regular texmf.cnf but that was rejected: objection too many trees while in the meantime we have more trees in tl as well -) The easiest way would be if you can give this as an argument to texfonts.

Are these write or read trees? If it is write, then my guess is the default shoul dbe TEXMFLOCAL because officially that is the place where local site modifications should go. That would also survive an upgrade or install of TeX itself. G ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
[NTG-context] *EXPERIMENTAL* TeX i-Package release
This release contains a small surprise, mainly created by Thomas A. Schmitz. When you install it, you can use (automatically unpacked) Apple fonts Hoefler Text, Didot, Optima, Baskerville en Gill Sans in PDFTeX. Setups for LaTeX and ConTeXt are provided. For this to work you need to have fondu installed. When fondu is installed, the fonts are automatically unpacked into the gwTeX tree during configuration (currently after install only).

Replacing 'unic-ext' by 'unic-exp' in the file context.tex and doing another configuration run in i-installer got rid of the error messages both during installation and compilation. So I'd like to know if there might be something wrong with my installation or if it really should say 'unic-exp.tex' in context.tex. In case (i), is there anything I could do besides rerunning the installation routines to fix my tex setup? Hans, Taco, I can confirm this. I missed this error ocurring when I checked the automatically updated i-Package. Can we have a quick fix for this?

[NTG-context] Quotations
I use \startquotation and \stopquotation a lot. I would like to visually strengthen the quotations because some are pretty lengthy and a reader might forget that it is not me that is writing here. I have been thinking about applying a light grey background or a border of sorts (which should then be open at the top of bottom if the quotation flows over a page boundary.

[NTG-context] Simple problem with quotation paragraph
I am having a simple problem I can't solve by reading the manuals.
I want to quote a fragment of a book which contains amongst others a
discussion (Plato's Protagoras to be precise). Normally, my book has no
whitespace between paragraphs and small indentation, but here I want a
small amount of whitespace between paragraphs and also narrower. I'd like
to setup some form of quotation paragraph style to use. I started out with
\startquotation but I do not want quotes, so now I use startnarrower, but
what I need is a paragraph style. Maybe another font (1pt smaller) is nice
too. And noindenting while the rest of the book uses indenting.
What I would like to do is something like
\startBookQuote
\stopBookQuote
and on the inside I get a small whitespace between paragraphs, no
indentation, a smaller font and a narrower textwidth.
My last try was:
\defineparagraphs[BookQuote][n=1,before={\indenting[never]\whitespace\startnarrower},after={\indenting[yes]\nowhitespace\stopnarrower}]
in my environment file, but that gave me page breaks as soon as
\startBookQuote was given and the quotes themselves do not receive page
breaks, hence a quote more than one page (I have a few) ends up being a
column of one page but just running from the page.
So, it seems \defineparagraphs is out, because I do not get page breaks
inside the quote. But what should I do?
Thanks in advance,
G
PS. any sight on a decent ConTeXt book, btw? The manuals and wiki seldomly
give me answers that work for me and often I find ConTeXt rather
counterintuitive, e.g. setupparagraphs for something that is a
table/column kind of thing, or confusing (\define vs \setup vs rest)

[NTG-context] ConTeXt frustrations (was: simple problem)
\defineparagraphs[BookQuote][n=1,before={\indenting[never]\whitespace\startnarrower},after={\indenting[yes]\nowhitespace\stopnarrower}]
in my environment file, but that gave me page breaks as soon as
\startBookQuote was given and the quotes themselves do not receive page
breaks, hence a quote more than one page (I have a few) ends up being a
column of one page but just running from the page.
So, it seems \defineparagraphs is out, because I do not get page breaks
inside the quote. But what should I do?
Another try was simpler, using plain TeX instead of ConTeXt's mechanisms,
but had another unexpected effect:
\def\startBookQuote{\indenting[never]\whitespace\startnarrower}
\def\stopBookQuote{\stopnarrower\indenting[yes]\nowhitespace}
The result of which is close to what I want, but after the first
\startBookQuote-\stopBookQuote pair the whitespace between paragraphs
stays, surprisingly enough (notwithstanding the \nowhitespace).
Si=o, I remove the entire whitespace/nowhitespace and find out that I
*still* get whitespace!? OK, I seem to need to remove
\setupwhitespace[small] from my environment file, where I had:
\setupwhitespace[small]
\nowhitespace
But, contrary to indentation, the \setupwhitespace not only sets it up, it
also turns it on. With indentation, I hat \setupindentation and did not
get that working until I turned it on with \indenting[yes]. In other
words, two opposite behaviours for likewise actions.
I find this kind of chaotic behaviour typical for my experience with
ConTeXt and I get pretty frustrated to the point I start thinking I should
have stayed with LaTeX and use the memoir class. Whatever LaTeX's
limitations in what it can do, it generally does what one expects. In my
own personal experience with ConTeXt I can definitely not say that.

You can add the \nonknuthmode to your document which makes _ and ^ normal
characters for text mode.
Is that limited to a {}-scope? And more importantly, that catches ^ and _, but
what about whitespace etc. Isn;t there a true verbatim that I can use on a

[NTG-context] MOving from MkII to MkIV / EPUB
Hello folks,
I have a ConTeXt Project for a small and simple book, that has the 'basic
example' project structure with .../images, .../chapters, .../products etc. I
use a Makefile to comppile the book when in the .../chapters directory, as
attached below. I use texexec --pdf and probably ConTeXt MkII from the MacTeX
2012 distribution.
I'd like to make an EPUB from this book as well. I suspect that means going
over to LuaTeX/MkIV and doing extra stuff. I got lost in the ConTeXt
documentation (for as much as there is, old and new) and would appreciate an
instruction on how to do this that does not suppose I am a ConTeXt wizard who
is doing stuff like this daily. Is there such a thing?

Using --mode or --modes with texexec sets up modes which can be used

if mode is workinprogress or test
or the other way around
if mode is all or editor
So I would like something like
\doifmodeselse{all,editor)
or even better booleans
\doiffmodeselse{not test or editor}
so I do not need to build a large setup of nested \ifmodeelse
This is not in ConTeXt currently. Would it be easy to program such a
multiple modes selector?

[NTG-context] Printen van code met een PDF overlay, makkelijk met ConTeXt?
Beste allemaal, ik wil broncode uitprinten met regelnummers op pagina's met een bepaalde overlay. Ik heb dus ascii text files als input (de code) een overlay in PDF en wil deze gecombineerd printen. Ik zat te denken: is een ConTeXt based workflow hier een mogelijke oplossing? De regelnummers e.d. kan ik eventueel met het pr programma genereren.

\defineoverlay[myoverlay][\overlayfigure{myfile.pdf}]
\setupbackgrounds[page][overlay=myoverlay]
if it has to be on top:
\setupbackgrounds[page][overlay={foreground,myoverlay}]
Dank. Om het completer te maken. Stel ik heb een serie ASCII files met
broncode. Deze files wil ik printen
- landscape
- in fixed width font en zonder de tekstfiles te hoeven aanpassen
- met regelnummers
- met PDF overlay (als hierboven)
- met juiste vertaling van tabs naar posities
Wat is dan de (slimste) ConTeXt oplossing?

[NTG-context] Printing source code intelligently with ConTeXt (with overlay)

Sorry, I forgot.
Here is the question. I have source code which i want to print using
an overlay in PDF, linenumbers, fixed width font, correct indentation
of tabs and in landscape mode. I could create some of this with the pr
program, but preferably I would like some sort of ConTeXt setup which
I could automate.
Yours,

Overlay answer from Hans:
\defineoverlay[myoverlay][\overlayfigure{myfile.pdf}]
\setupbackgrounds[page][overlay=myoverlay]
if it has to be on top:
\setupbackgrounds[page][overlay={foreground,myoverlay}]

Re: [NTG-context] Printing source code intelligently with ConTeXt (with overlay)
The overlay if a prelimiary of IfSQ code inspection (http://
www.ifsq.org). Source code is printed with the overlay and then a
visual inspection process is performed using the overlay to keep track
of results.
I tried the following with a test TeX file (no landscape or line
numbers yet):
\defineoverlay[ifsqoverlay][\overlayfigure{IfSQ-overlay.pdf}]
\starttext
\setupbackgrounds[page][overlay=ifsqoverlay]
\typefile[SQL][]{details.pls}
\stoptext
And the start of file details.pls is:
PACKAGE BODY DETAILS IS
/* Let op: wanneer er foutmeldingen ontstaan als
Invalid cursor en
Missing mandotory parameter (ORA-01009)
dan wordt de form waarschijnlijk aangeroepen met shared library
data
Kijk eerst bij de aanroep en zorg dat de aanroep met
no_share_library_data
is
*/
-- mantis 1055: g_aantal_items toegevoegd en in update_details
p_aanroeper toege
voegd.
-- lokaal:
-- globale variabelen, eenmalig gezet bij initialisatie
g_debug boolean := false; -- aanzetten om debuggen te vergemakkelijken
g_max_lengte NUMBER := 2.5;
g_max_hoogte NUMBER := 1.5;
g_begin_pos_x NUMBER := 5;
g_begin_pos_y NUMBER := 2.844;
g_alleen_tonen VARCHAR2(1) := 'N';
g_aantal_structuren NUMBER := -9; -- -9 en 9 zijn schakel-waarden
g_multi BOOLEAN := TRUE;
But that ends in tears:

The overlay I am using is:

If prettyprinting does not work I would be happy with verbatim print
with line numbers and correct indentation.

What do you want to do with the overlay?
