Re: [NTG-context] Greek in luatex
Hi Arthur, Taco,
you're my heroes! Changing the order of the lookup tables in the .fea
file actually took care of the problem. Thanks for looking into this,
now I get the results I was expecting; every substitution is applied
to the font! Once the initial lookup has been done, this is
reasonably fast, too, so I like it. I'm eagerly waiting for teh new
release next week to see if this works with copy-and-past from pdfs.
So this appears to be one way to deal with ASCII input a la babel.
Easy to implement, but fails on fonts that don't have the glyphs for
the Latin characters.
One trivial question: when I want to experiment with feature files,
the cached instance of the font seems to be in the way. Only after
deleting the current luatex-cache, regenerating it and recompiling
the format do I get proper results. Is there an easier/faster way to
do this?
Will now go on and experiment some more, especially with type1/afm-
based fonts. Thanks a lot, best wishes
Thomas

[NTG-context] quote characters in luatex
In my experiments with luatex, there's one thing that may be
surprising for many users: we have come to expect that the characters
` and ' in our input files map to single left and single right
quotation marks. luatex just typesets them verbatim, so to speak.
It converts the combination `` and '' to double quotation marks,
however. So my question: wouldn't it make sense to convert the single
marks as well? (And please don't tell me Oh but you should use \quote
{} instead of ` '. I know that, but I guess that many users have
hundreds of old documents where they use `'. Moreover, ' also creates
the apostrophe character, which cannot be avoided.)
Best

Dear Dalyoung,
Like many other ConTeXt users I followed up the many threads about
how to install, successfully, LuaTeX.
In particular I was interested in your experience since I had more or

messages on the list.
Now my question is: did you succeed to install and use LuaTeX on Mac
OS X?
--- If yes, could you please describe how you did proceed?
--- If no, this means we have to wait more for our salvation...
Thanks for your attention and best regards: OK
OK, I have just summarized my own experience with luatex. Please
comment; if this is helpful at all, we should put it on the wiki.
Thomas
Setting up luatex on OS X
The following remarks are not more than an amplification of what Hans
writes in
magazin #12. However, since some users have had difficulties, here's
a short
summary of the steps that I have followed on my system (OS X 10.4;
system
language set to English; vanilla TeXLive installation) to work with
luatex.
1. Get the latest ConTeXt version.
Download the latest cont-tmf.zip at
www.pragma-ade.com (either stable or beta). Unzip this file in a
texmf-tree. It
is recommended that you do this in a local tree. This way, if you
ever have
problems, you can just delete this local tree and continue working
with the
stable tree that came with your distribution. If you don't know where
your
local texmf tree is located, follow these directions (a line with #
in front
means you should type the line following this # into your Terminal
window;
press Return at the end of the line. Comments or explanations which
should
not be retyped are included in brackets. Please be careful to retype
exactly, leaving all the quotes etc. in place!).
# kpsewhich --expand-var '$TEXMFLOCAL'
On my system, this expands to
/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local
Now go to this directory
# cd /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local
download the file cont-tmf.zip to this directory and unzip it. On
most systems,
you will need superuser rights to do this; after entering the sudo
command, you
will be asked for your password.
# sudo unzip cont-tmf.zip
Password:
# type your password, then RETURN
Archive: cont-tmf.zip
replace bibtex/bst/context/cont-ab.bst? [y]es, [n]o, [A]ll, [N]one,
[r]ename:
# type A then type RETURN
After this, a long list of files will scroll by.
2. Regenerate the formats
While we're at it, we might as well regenerate the formats for pdftex-
based
ConTeXT:
# sudo texmfstart texexec --make --all --pdftex
You'll see the output on the Terminal; at the end, texexec should
tell you that
it has regenerated all the formats.
TeXExec |
TeXExec | tex engine path: /usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-config/web2c/
pdftex
TeXExec | mps engine path: /usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-config/web2c

config/web2c/metafun.mem (482192)
TeXExec |
TeXExec | runtime: 7.575246
3. Set environment variables
In its current beta stadium, luatex needs some environment variables
to be set;
this will probably change soon. In my experiments, on OS X, it needs
these
four variables:
TEXMFCACHE: this decides where the luatex-cache directory will be
created. If
you set this variable to a temporary directory such as /tmp, it will
be deleted
at every reboot. This is a good idea since luatex caches lots of
files and
paths in this directory, so it makes sense to refresh this directory
often.
TEXMFCNF: This should point to the directory where the file texmf.cnf
which
your TeX installation uses is located. In order to find out where
this is, run
this command:
#kpsewhich texmf.cnf
On my system, this points to
/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
so we need to set TEXMFCNF to /usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf/web2c.
TEXMF
This should list ALL texmf trees which your TeX installation uses. In
order to
know what these trees are, run this command:
# kpsewhich --expand-var '$TEXMF'
The output of this command on my system is:
{/Users/tas/.texlive2007/texmf-config,/Users/tas/.texlive2007/texmf-
var,/Users/tas/texmf,!!/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-config,!!/usr/
local/texlive/2007/texmf-var,!!/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf,!!/usr/
local/texlive/2007/../texmf-local,!!/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-
dist,!!/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf.gwtex}
In this form, the list contains a few shortcuts and symbols which are
special
to kpsewhich. Remove all the exclamation marks; if there are other
shortcuts in
your output, bring it into a flat list of Unix directories.

how to center the combination successfullly?

Thanks, P.
Hmm, untested: isn't that because you're lying to ConTeXt? I'm not
quite sure what you want to achieve, but it looks like you don't want
a 2*1 combination. Rather, you're looking for a 1*2 combination, the
first part of which is a 2*1 combination, so I would guess that
nesting those combinations would be the way to go.

I have some dim recollection that I asked a similar question some time

[NTG-context] defining and expanding in xml
Hi gurus,
sorry for this long mail, but this is too difficult for me, and I have
to apologize that I can't provide a minimal example. Here's what I want:
I have one big xml-file which is my lecture course for the semester.
Every single lecture is one section. This xml-file is processed
(needless to say!) with ConTeXt. Every lecture is accompanied by a
presentation, written in and processed by ConTeXt. The TeX files and the
resulting pdfs are named by their dates, such as 07_11_23.pdf for
today's lecture. I have defined a simple counter that will typeset a
number in red at every place in the lecture where I show a new slide
(and then increment the counter); here are the relevant definitions:
\definelabel[SlideNumber][headstyle=normal,way=bytext]
\define\SLN{\color[red]{[\nextSlideNumber]}}
\defineXMLcommand[sln]{\sln}
What I want: I would like to produce a handout of the lecture course
which would include the slides at the relevant places. My idea was that
everything is basically in place. I would simply need to define a
handout mode which would redefine this \sln command and use the
SlideNumber counter to insert the relevant pages from the presentation
pdf. But I can't get it to work. Here's what I've tried:
1. the value of the \SlideNumber counter should be \currentSlideNumber,
so basically I would like something along these lines:
\define\sln
{\externalfigure[presentations/07_11_23.pdf][page=
\currentSlideNumber]\incrementSlideNumber}
But this throws an error:
! Argument of \pp!doifinstringelse has an extra }.
inserted text
\par
to be read again
}
\doif #1#2-\edef \!!stringa {#1}
\edef \!!stringb {#2}\ifx \!!stringa
\!!str...
\checkfigureusersettings ...ntedfigurepage \empty
{\let
\wantedfigurepage \!...
\calculateexternalfigure ...eckfigureusersettings
\checkfigurecolorsettings ...
argument ...lideNumber },width=.75\textwidth ][]
\calculateexternalscreenfi...
...
l.71 SLN/
I assume it is an expansion problem. I tried page=
\expanded{\currentSlideNumber]}, but that doesn't work either. So this
is my first problem: how can I pass the value of SlideNumber on to the
externalfigure command?
2. Next step: I would like to have the name of the corresponding
presentation pdf in another macro so I can include this in the command
definition as well. In TeX, I would simply write someting like
\let\CurrentPresentation=07_11_23.pdf
into my file and then refer to \CurrentPresentation. But how do I do
this in XML? I was thinking something along the lines
section Current=07_11_23.pdf
but am at a loss as to how to pick up this value later.
Sorry for the long post; I'd be very happy if someone could provide some
insights.

Hello ConTeXt Experts!
I am looking for a proper ConTeXt of solving a problem I've solved
through a hack (my solution is right after the need and problem are
stated below).
Preface: I am learning ConTeXt as I go. I do apologize if mine is a
rookie question. I'd appreciate your help very much.
Need:
number every paragraph and place its number on the right margin in a
smaller (6pt) font.
Problem:
when I try to switch to a smaller font directly in an \inright:
\inright{\vi\hfill\bf\the\parCount}
that outputs the count in the main paragraph font (14pt) until I
prefix every paragraph with a hack
{\vi\ \setbox0=\hbox{\ }\kern-\wd0}
then \inright outputs the number correctly in a 6pt font
(if I add the hack to \everypar, the inright font is still 14pt)

\inright{}?
My solution:

I'm not quite sure I understand what you're trying to do, so this is a
shot in the dark: instead of low-level trickery, you could use ConTeXt
modes:
\startmode[A]
\definecolor [mycolor] [g=1]
\stopmode
\startmode[B]
\definecolor [mycolor] [r=1]

You can then set \enablemode[A] in your file or pass the mode on the

[NTG-context] bib module in pdftex and luatex
Hi all (esp. Taco ;-),
here's a very fundamental question about the bib-module: my main bib
file now has ~ 1,700 entries. When I tried to compile a file which
includes bibliographic references in mkii, I got this error:
! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [hash size=6].
\@@shortsectionnumber ...\c!conversion \endcsname

\ifx

#1\c!inb...
l.162 \section{Textausgaben}
! == Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!
The same file compiles without errors in mkiv. So I'm curious: Is it
possible that the bib file is just too large for mkii? Or is it more
probable that there's some error in it such as missing crossref etc?
Does anyone have experience with large bib files and the bib module?
Thanks, and best wishes
Thomas

[NTG-context] symbols in luatex?
Hi all, first, a very happy new year 2008 to all of you! May ConTeXt continue to prosper and develop at a brisk pace :-) What better way to start the new year than asking a stupid question on the list? Here comes: I must be missing something really obvious here. I have a font (otf) with a number of (metrical) symbols which I use in a module. In mkii, I defined an encoding within this module to address the symbols: \startencoding[metr] \definecharacter metricbreve 66 \stopencoding so I can use the symbold with \metricbreve. Works great in mkii. But how do I do this in mkiv, which doesn't seem to read and use the encoding anymore?

haven't yet found out how luaTeX interprets the \char numbers... OTOH,
this is a workaround:
\define{\anglebracketleft}%
{\bgroup\switchtobodyfont[GreekSymbols]〈\egroup}

so nothing in the private Unicode area. My presentation next week
doesn't use any of those, so I'm saved for today, but will be back in

[NTG-context] shading in metapost
Hi all, I have a somewhat silly question about metapost/metafun. To emphasize parts of a picture, I place a bright red arrow or circle/ellipse on top of the picture. I would like to make this arrow more visible by putting a shade beneath it (I attach a jpg that will hopefully show the desired effect). Right now, I simply draw the arrow twice with a transparent black color, once with a smaller pencircle, so the effect is like a shadow that is darker in the center than at the edges. However, I think the effect would be more dramatic if I could have a transparent area with a smooth grading. Is this possible at all in metapost? filling a path with a transparent AND shaded color?

If you have rsync on your computer, the fastest way to resolve the problems would be to call rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/fonts/new/ fonts/opentype/public/lm/ folder-with-otf-lm and then mktexlsr. (XeLaTeX didn't even consider those changes, I'm affraid. It's a serious problem since the changes need to be synchronized, and I'm afraid of *many* XeTeX users complainig very soon ...) But some new LM filenames are really weird (lmromanslant10-regular.otf and others). I hope that they will change at least a few of them to something more sensible (for the sake of compatibility the best thing to do would be not changing them at all). Size feature and some grouping has been added to all of these fonts, so the names/usage in GUI applications or in XeTeX (when called by name) will change as well. Mojca Thanks Mojca, that worked! Now that I have your attention, may I ask another question: a couple of months ago, I was wondering about using fonts that are NOT installed on the system but are in one of the texmf- trees. In typescripts, we have the name: and file: syntax; the latter works with these fonts but seems to have some limitations (I attach a reply Taco wrote). Has anything new developed on this question?

Unfortunately, in my experiments, the bounding box which lilypond uses is always a bit too small, the elements you describe are always cut off at the left margin. You can try that by creating a standalone .ly file and running lilypond with the --backend=eps option on it, and you'll see the effect. I have tried with a number of options to modify this behavior of lilypond, but haven't had any success. Since lilypond is pretty broken on Os X 10.5 at the moment, I have given up for the time being.

Hi Vassilis, short answer because I'm on the run right now: you could either try to typeset your example with ConTeXt + XeTeX; this should work out of the box. Or you could try my Greek module (lookn on the contextgarden under third party modules). It's designed for ancient Greek but should work with the modern variety as well.

ludicrous, I attach a small pdf example. It's set in Adobe Garamond,
and the source is:
A\high{1} A\high{2} A\high{12}
Why is the onum feature lost for single-digit numbers? I'm completely
lost here, can anyone help?
Thanks, and best

the web to understand if regexps can handle nested delimiters or not

stuff that might be able to do it but is highly experimental. If gema
really can do this, it should be a godsend for processing TeX files. I

[NTG-context] processing xml in mkiv
Hi all,
xml processing is about the last part of my ConTeXt stuff where I
haven't been able to switch to mkiv; I just can't get my head around
it... 2 questions:
1. When I try to process a xml-file with my old (mkii) environments,
the output looks OK, but I always get a first page with the xml
version declaration
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
Is this a bug or a feature? Is there anything I can do to prevent it?
2. I'm really lost with the new xml mechanism. My first problem: In a
message from September last year, Hans explained that the command to
process xml files is:
The regular definitions still work but processing a file is done
differently:
\xmlprocess{id}{filename}{optional initialization setup}
I used to have environments with which to typeset a bunch of files.
How can this be ported to the new mechanism, which appears to expect
a filename?
Sorry if these are very basic problems, but I'm probably a bit obtuse
here.
All best
Thomas

Can you post a example, I never saw such a effect in my test files.
Hi Wolfgang,
OK, here is a minimal example:
file test.xml:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
!DOCTYPE test [
!ELEMENT document (section)
!ELEMENT section(#PCDATA)
]
document
section title=First
pThis is quotationan/quotation xml file./p
/section
/document
file testenvironment.tex
\usemodule[xtag-ent]
\defineXMLenvironment[document]
{\starttext}
{\stoptext}
\defineXMLenvironment[section]
{\section{\XMLpar{section}{title}{}}}
{}
\defineXMLenvironment[quotation]
{\quotation\bgroup}
{\egroup}
When I process with mkii, I get the expected output. Processing with
texexec --lua --env=testenvironment test.xml
gives me the first line (here it's not an entire page) I described!
2. I'm really lost with the new xml mechanism. My first problem: In a
message from September last year, Hans explained that the command to
process xml files is:

differently:
\xmlprocess{id}{filename}{optional initialization setup}
I used to have environments with which to typeset a bunch of files.
How can this be ported to the new mechanism, which appears to expect
a filename?
\xmlprocess{main}{filename.xml}{} works for me.
I tried to translate this into the new mechanism and thought it
should read like so:
\startxmlsetups xml:mysetups
\xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{text:p|section|quotation}{xml:*}
\stopxmlsetups
\xmlregistersetup{xml:mysetups}
\startxmlsetups xml:p
\xmlflush{#1}\endgraf
\stopxmlsetups
\startxmlsetups xml:quotation
\quotation{\xmlflush{#1}}
\stopxmlsetups
\startxmlsetups xml:section
\section{\xmlatt{#1}{section}{title}}
\stopxmlsetups
\starttext
\xmlprocess{main}{test.xml}{}
\stoptext
But then, I only get invalid xml file in the output.
Sorry if these are very basic problems, but I'm probably a bit obtuse
here.
You don't have to use new xml mechanism form MkIV, the old code could
be used without problems. The advantage of the new code is direct
access to elements in the tree (you could use xml files as database)
and the option to read from zip files.
Wolfgang
OK, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for your help, Wolfgang!

[NTG-context] Numbering in margin
Hi all,
I want some numbers to appear in the paragraph. It's for a commentary,
so the numbering isn't continuous, but pretty arbitrary. The problem
is, I need two sets of numbers (for sections and subsections), and I
want both in the margin, like so:
1 1 Some text
3 More text
4 Even more
3 1 And more
2 and so on
5 Sometimes, there are sections without subsections
So far, I have succeeded in doing this with some low-level trickery by
defining two commands, LEVELONE and LEVELTWO:
\def\LEVELONE#1 {\dontleavehmode\llap{#1\kern1.8em \null}}
\def\LEVELTWO#1 {\dontleavehmode\llap{\tfx #1\kern1em \null}}
(I need to gobble the space after the command, that's why I included
it in the \def). However, I'm wondering if there's a more ConTeXt-like
way of doing this, since my next project will be to do this for xml
files. I had tried with \inmargin[1] and \inmargin[2], but that didn't
quite do what I expected. Any thoughts on this?
All best
Thomas
