[NTG-context] In need of more detailed widget descriptions!
Hi, I'm struggling with widgets and went already through the Widget Uncovered manual, but experience problems running various examples under MkIV! MAIN QUESTION: Is the manual still valid for MkIV? When I use for example the command \tracefieldstrue an Undefined control sequence error is triggered! ADDITIONAL QUESTION: Is it possible to give a simple example on how to write a validation function using JavaScrip or Lua? I already looked at the module m-fields.mkiv but I still do need some additional explanation on that, sorry! Regards, Gerard Verhaag P.S.

[NTG-context] Keep struggling with old style numerals!
Hi ConTeXt user's,
A few days ago I installed the latest ConTeXt version but now my
oldstyle settings don't seem to work any more!
I use the following settings in my preamble:
\usetypescript[schola]
\setupbodyfont[schola,10pt]
\definefontfeature [oldstyle] [default] [onum=yes]
\addff{oldstyle}
Perhaps something changed that I missed! Thanks in advance!
Regards
Gerard Verhaag
P.S. I use ConTeXt ver: 2011.11.29 23:11 MKIV fmt: 2011.12.5 int:

Hi,
you can play with my example. It seems script=auto (default) is not that robust. Setting it to
latn or dflt should help.
\definefontfeature [default] [default] [script=latin]
\definefontfeature [osf] [onum=yes]
\definefontfeature [oldstyle][default] [onum=yes]
\definealternativestyle [osf] [\addff{osf}] [\addff{osf}]
\setuphead[section][style=osf]
\setupbodyfont[schola]
Hi,
Thanks for the tips! I changed [default] into [latn], which brought back
the oldstyle numerals!
By the way, I think I used a version from last August before upgrading.

Gerard Verhaag

It’s already obsolete as you noticed by the “undefined control sequence”
warning.
The reason for this is that \startMPpage and \startTEXpage are now defined in a
different
way than they had been in MkII. In MkII both commands are defined with
\def\startMPpage{…}
and \def\startTEXpage{…} but in MkIV both are a instance of fittingpage and the
definition
for them is \definefittingpage[MPpage] and \definefittingpage[TEXpage]. As a
consequence
the old \setupMPpage command is also gone and you have to set global settings
with
\setupfittingpage[environment][settings].
Such a changes do happen with many commands in MkIV and the setup-commands
for them are moved to the underlying mechanism (e.g. fittingpage).

Hi,
Well yes, the \useexternaldocument works, but not for example the
\in-command!
When I for example use \useexternaldocument[tst][test][A test external]
together with \from[tst] the test.pdf file is correctly opened in
Acrobat Reader.
But the \in{section}[tst::def] doesn't open the test.pdf file at all?!
The jump to the 'def' section doesn't seem to work! Please take a look
at the two included test files.

Hi,
The cross-document referencing feature that I want to apply in a new

explain in this thread!
I'm wondering why this thread, no responses up till now, doesn't seem to
trigger any attention! Is this referencing issue perhaps trivial or...?!

Hi,
Thanks for confirming the problem, so it looks like a bug?!
Nobody else has reported this problem, does that mean that this feature
is not being used, or has it been working in the past?
Hopefully Hans reads this mail, and can fix the problem. I want to use
the feature in a new project, and noticed it while doing some tests!

[NTG-context] Where to go????
Hi ConTeXt user's,
Sorry about this question, but I want to find out to whom I should turn
with the ConTeXt problem I have?
I've started two threads ('Cross-document referencing not working!' and
'Cross-document referencing: How to?!') recently dealing with a
cross-document referencing problem, but didn't get suggestions on how to
get it solved. Perhaps it's just a minor issue!? I got one confirmation
of the problem running a simple test file.
This feature (described in detail in This Way, sep 2011
(http://pragma-ade.com/show-mag-15.htm)) is critical for a project I'd
like to start!
But maybe this is not the right place to ask questions like these, but
where should I go, if that's indeed the case? Maybe I'm not patient enough!

Gerard Verhaag

Hi Verhaag,
I just tested your example files: both with mkiv and mkii, ConTeXt version
2011.11.29, the cross-referencing does work as expected in Adobe Reader.
However when clicking to the link « Een test external », Adobe opens the
external file and closes the original file (maybe this is the wanted behavior…).
With newer versions of ConTeXt I have are some other problems and I did not
test your example. So if you are in a hurry, you may use ConTeXt version
2011.11.29.

Hi,
Returning to an older version is not really an option because of other

[NTG-context] How to start every new chapter on page 1!?
Hi ConTeXt Users, I'd like to start every chapter on page one. The footer should contain the chapter number followed by the page number. So page three of chapter 10, should read something like 10-3. I was thinking way=bychapter in the \setuppagenumbering command would do the trick. However I see no change at all when changing the way parameter from the default mypart to mychapter! Anybody any hint on this issue? Thanks in advance! Currently I use ConTeXt ver: 2012.02.18 10:50 MKIV fmt: 2012.2.18 int: english/english.

Hi,
Well, here is a minimal example which doesn't yield the expected result:
\setuppagenumbering[way=bychapter,chapternumber=yes]
\starttext
\chapter{One}
\chapter{Two}
\chapter{Three}

The pages are just numbered 1,2 and 3 respectively, and not 1-1, 2-1 and
3-1 as expected!

The \setuppagenumbering command description contains the way option, but NOT the prefix and prefixset option. Is the command reference (wiki and pdf ) not up-to-date when it comes to MkIV applications, or do I miss a very important point here?

[NTG-context] Cross-document referencing problem!
Hi ConTeXt User's,
Again I'm struggling with cross-document referencing! The page of the
\pagereference[def] command is shown correctly in the pdf result of the
attached test.tex file using \at{page}[def]!
However when I refer to this reference using \at{page}[tst::def] from
the external document crossref.pdf only the 'page' string is displayed
in it, but no sign of the page number. Clicking the page string brings
me to the correct location, but I'm missing the pagenumber itself?
Both tex-files (minimal example!) files are attached!

Re: [NTG-context] Basic \def error?
Hi Luigi,
Thanks for your very quick response, just great! Your suggestion works!
By the way, what does this expanded mean, is it documented somewhere? Is
it a typical MKIV thing related to Lua?

It’s a typical way in MkIV to check for the existing of values in “command”
keys but it has nothing to do with Lua.
I can demonstrate the purpose of \unexpanded with the following example. First
I create the two
command \one and \two, afterwards I add \expandedone and \expandedtwo which
hold the
expanded values of \one and \two.
As you can see I get the same text with \one and \expandedone. In the next step
I redefine \one
and \two to hold a new value and compare again the content of all four macros.
Unlike in the
previous output \one and \expandedone are different while \two and \expandedtwo
show
the same result. The reason why \expandedtwo show “Second” is that
\unexpanded\def
prevented the expansion of \two in \edef\expandedtwo{…}.
\starttext
\def\one{One}
\unexpanded\def\two{Two}
\edef\expandedone{\one}
\edef\expandedtwo{\two}
\startlines
\one:\expandedone
\two:\expandedtwo
\stoplines
\def\one{First}
\def\two{Second}
\startlines
\one:\expandedone
\two:\expandedtwo
\stoplines
\stoptext

[NTG-context] Best Practise!?
Hi ConTeXt User's, I'm currently considering a new project, but wondering whether I'd choose for a MkII or MkIV basis?

Okay, the help of this mailing list and of course http://wiki.contextgarden.net solved most of the problems I encountered. However the mailing list dependency makes me feel a bit uncomfortable.

[NTG-context] Minimal ConTeXt and texfont!
Hi, I've removed my old TeXLive installation from my Linux box, an decided to start using ConTeXt only! So, I installed the ConTeXt minimals (from contextgarden) and everything seems to work just fine, but.. I want to try to install some new fonts and it is common practice to use texfont for that. ConTeXt comes with its own texfont, but when I type texfont at my linux-prompt, no texfont can be found? Do I need to install additional tools to be able to build new fonts? Any suggestions?

TeXfont used to be a common practice until the arrival of MKIV. It's not maintained, it is somewhat buggy, it has been removed from standard tools (though you can still make it work easily), but I would strongly recommend you to use ConTeXt MKIV (LuaTeX instead of pdfTeX) if you need non-texie fonts. In that case all you need to do is to put your fonts into texmf-fonts or texmf-local under tex/opentype/company/fontname (the part tex/opentype is the most important part - assuming that you are indeed dealing with OpenType fonts). Alternatively you may configure OSFONTDIR to point to the folders where you have your system fonts and they will be picked up automatically. If you use XeTeX your system font should be found by default. You only need the right typescripts, but no font conversion at all.

[NTG-context] How to get graph module (metapost) to work with ConTeXt minimals?
Hi,
This might not be the right place to ask this question, but want to give
it a try anyway!
I've installed the ConTeXt minimals (Mark IV!) recently, and running the
command:
context --version
yields the following output:
...
MTXrun | current version: 2010.07.30 11:35
Now I want to generate a few plots using the graph-module (by John D.
Hobby) of MetaPost, which I used in the past to make high-quality plots.
But when I add the following statement:
input graph ;
to the preamble of my MetaPost file and run the command:
mpost plot.mp
The run aborts with the following messages:
texnum.mp
texnum.mpx
! Unable to make mpx file.

So where to go from here? Do I need to install additional TeX related
stuff to get it working? Anybody any suggestions, please? Thanks in advance!

Hi Gerard,
that's because of a change in ConTeXts metapost, you can use
\startMPpage
Your MP Code here
\stopMPpage
MetaPost from ConTeXt is not able without big changes to run standalone,
so you might need to load the MetaPost version from TeXlive, the way how
to do so depends on your OS...
Greetings
Hi Martin,
Okay, thanks for your answer!
Embedding the code in my ConTeXt file works well, but I was used to
obtain my MetaPost figures seperately using the mpost-command!

Both work but they are not the same thing.
\loadmarkfile loads only the given file with the extension “mkii” MkII and
“mkiv” for MkIV and only used in modules.
\usemodule does a lot more than this, the first is that it checks for the given
module with different prefixes (the graph module has a “m-” prefix which means
it’s a core module) and it also looks for file with different extension, this
means it doesn’t matter if the module is called m-graph.tex, m-graph.mkiv or
even t-graph.mkiv, \usemodule will always load the module while \loadmarkfile
will only load m-graph.mkiv
When you load a file with \loadmarkfile and the file is not present you will
get a message on the terminal to give a different file name which aborts the
tex run while \usemodule will only give a message on the terminal but the
processing isn’t stopped, as a last thing \usemodule loads a module only once
while \loadmarkfile will always read the file.

[NTG-context] How to use boxit MetaPost macros with ConTeXt minimals?
Hi, I'd like to use the boxit MetaPost macros with ConTeXt minimals. Is there a way to tackle this or do I need the chart module for that. Am I right in saying that the boxit macros give more flexibility compared to the chart module? Or is it just a matter of taste?

[NTG-context] What has happened to externalfigure command?
Hi,
I'm struggling to get an older ConTeXt file that worked well under
TeXLive 2008, but not any more with ConTeXt minimals!
I've installed the ConTeXt minimals (Mark IV!) (MTXrun | current
version: 2010.07.30 11:35) recently.
I've a file someplot.1 in a directory called /home/somewhere. The
ConTeXt source file contains the command:
\setupexternalfigures
[directory={/home/somewhere}]
in the preamble.
The image file is called using:
\leftaligned{\externalfigure[someplot.1][scale=100]}
But no image is presented in the generated pdf-file! However, all
jpg-type of images that I use in the document - using similar commands -
are all rendered correctly!
What's wrong? Anybody any idea?
Regards,
Gerard Verhaag

[NTG-context] How to run Typesetting in MetaPost example (MetaFun)?

The code is given as:

wid[0] := len[0] := pos[0] := n := 0 ;
\stopMPdrawing

pic[n] := textext(\bfd\setstrut\strut#1) ;
pic[n] := pic[n] shifted - llcorner pic[n] ;
\stopMPdrawing}
\handletokens MetaPost is Fun!\with\whatever

Hi,
I'm in need of help to get the example as described in the MetaFun
manual running, because I want to use text around a path!
So, I started reading the chapter about 'Typesetting in METAPOST' and
wanted to try the examples as given in that chapter, but without succes!
The problem seem to be the MPtoks macro. According to the text in this
chapter this low level macro (and MPbox and appendtoks) are already
defined, but are they really?
The version of context minimals I use at the moment is:
MTXrun | current version: 2011.01.18 19:34
Any suggestions are very much welcomed! Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Gerard

But is won't run. The following message is generated:
The actual error message said
! Undefined control sequence.
\@@toks -\MPtoks
So add
\newtoks\MPtoks
After which you get
! Undefined control sequence.
\whatever ...endtoks #1\to \MPtoks \setbox \MPbox
so add
\newbox\MPbox
After that the file compiles but you get an empty image. There are two
things missing in the code. First you don't tell actually draw the
metapost drawing. for that, add
\MPdrawingdonetrue \getMPdrawing \resetMPdrawing
Still an empty page. Again the pic[n] is calculated but never drawn.
So add
draw p[n] shifted (n*1cm,0) ;
(or perhaps along a more sophisticated path),
and now you have a working example:
\newtoks\MPtoks
\newbox\MPbox
\resetMPdrawing
\startMPdrawing
picture p[] ;
numeric wid[], len[], pos[], n ;
wid[0] := len[0] := pos[0] := n := 0 ;

p[n] := textext(\bfd\setstrut\strut#1) ;
p[n] := p[n] shifted - llcorner p[n] ;
draw p[n] shifted (n*1cm,0) ;
\stopMPdrawing}
\starttext
\handletokens MetaPost is Fun!\with\whatever
\MPdrawingdonetrue \getMPdrawing \resetMPdrawing
\stoptext
You could also have just used the macros from meta-txt:
\useMPlibrary[txt]
\startMPdefinitions
newpath RotPath ;
RotPath = fullcircle scaled 3cm ;
\stopMPdefinitions
\starttext
\followtokens{Metapost is fun \quad}
\stoptext
@Hans: Perhaps we can have a more ConTeXtist interface to this macro:
\definetextonepath
[whatever]
[color=...,
style=...,
mp=..., % path specification
]
\whatever{Metapost is fun}
Aditya
Hi,
Okay, that makes things more clear, but couldn't find this in the
manual! Maybe it is very obvious to someone more familiar with METAPOST.
Well, I also tried the nice macro example on page 232 of the MetaFun
manual by Hans, and got of course the same problems. But after I added the
\newtoks\MPtoks
\newbox\MPbox
definitions to the file, it worked!
Also the Inkscape alternative is very useful, thanks for helping me out!

\definefontfeature [oldstyle] [default] [onum=yes]
\addff{oldstyle}

Hi,
The suggested ways both work for me as well! So, I'm afraid that I don't
understand the definefontfeature command very well.
Perhaps I should read the chapter on fonts more thorougly! Thanks to all

\addff{oldstyle} works with my 2011.02.25 ConTeXt, so evidently it's
quite a recent change.
\addff is for adding some feature to an already selected font. It
fails in the latest beta's because fonts are no longer preloaded
immediately, but only after \starttext (which is a good thing)

Hi,
Taco, thanks for the explanation!
So, this makes the item called: How can I get the “oldstyle numbers”
(text figures) in a document? on wiki.contextgarden.net no longer
valid, right!
Changes are difficult to figure out, when you're not very good at the
details. Keeping the wiki up-to-date is a huge task and certainly not a
trivial thing!
Please don't misunderstand me. I don't want to criticise the way the
wiki is maintained. On the contrary, it's a great tool, and we users
very much depend on it.
However for getting the oldstyle numerals working again, I needed this
mailing list!
If I'm wrong please feel free to comment on all this. Thanks again!

I don't want to criticise the way the wiki is maintained. On the contrary, it's a great tool, and we users very much depend on it. I think the general principle is that if you get a useful answer to your question, you should make sure that it is added (or linked) in the wiki in the place you looked for it before asking the question. It *is* a huge task (since ConTeXt is under continuous development), which is why we all need to help. Pont Hi, Okay, thanks again for the tip!

[NTG-context] How to produce a dotless i with ConTeXt?
Hi, I need to use some Turkish in language support training and want to typeset everything using ConTeXt (MkIV). Anybody any idea how to apply the Turkish alphabet (e.g. the dotless i), while the main language of the document is English or Dutch? I for example tried to generate the soft g, the g with the caron (inverted circumflex!) above it, using \gcaron, which just works fine. But I'm unable to generate a dotless i! Thanks!

(best): write the character directly into your source file: #305; 2. \dotlessi (see the list of characters in char-def.lua) 3. \i (compatibility, defined in enco-ini.mkiv) HTH Thomas Hi, Thanks for the answers! Only one suggestion doesn't work for me; inserting the #305; (it looks like an HTML code not ConTeXt code!?) in my source file. Well, I prefer to use \dotlessi and \i, and don't like #305 or \char0131, because I'm not very good at remembering number codes!

[NTG-context] Macro argument handling problem!
Hi,
I try this example from the wiki page System Macros/Argument handling:
\def\dodefinesomething[#1][#2]%
{\getparameters[\??xx#1][#2]}
\def\definesomething%
{\dodoubleargumentwithset\dodefinesomething}
\starttext
\definesomething[alfa][variable=test]
\stoptext
Running this yields
! Undefined control sequence
I'm trying to write a few macros with optional delimited arguments with
key-value sets and started reading the appropriate pages, but can't
figure out why this example fails to run.
Anybody any idea?
Regards,
Gerard Verhaag

I guess the message comes from your namespace which is in this form
only allowed in unprotected mode, to enter you need \unprotect before
and \protect after your command declarations. Another problem is that
you use a system namespace (two “?” and two letters) but for modules
we use now four “?” and also more than two letter, e.g.
\def\something{something}
\def\definesomething
{\dodoubleargumentwithset\dodefinesomething}
\def\dodefinesomething[#1][#2]%
{\getparameters[\something#1][#2]}
You should also take a look at the \definenamespace command which
creates the \define… and \setup… commands for you:

[NTG-context] Positional graphics (MetaFun)!
Hi, Inspired by the examples given in the MetaFun manual (Oct. 2010) I tried a few, but I can't get them working! I'm specially interested in the 'Anchors and layers' (p.257, screen version!) feature. I typed in the MetaPost code as given on page 260, defined the anchors, but no circles and lines appear in the resulting pdf-file. Well I assume it must be something trivial. Anybody any idea? P.S.

[NTG-context] Coupled register errors!
Hi, A few years ago I created a screen document met menus and coupled registers, and it just worked fine. A fresh compilation of this document throws several 'undefined control sequence' errors; so I wonder what has happened to this feature? Are commands like \defineregister, \setupregister and \couple(d)register still valid ConTeXt commands? Currently I use ConTeXt ver: 2011.03.30 11:21 MKIV fmt: 2011.3.30 int: english/english.

[NTG-context] Setuplayout bug?
Hi, The \setuplayout command causes problems I don't understand, sorry! I use the following setup in a screen (\setuppapersize[S6][S6]) document: \setuplayout [header=0cm, topspace=.2cm, backspace=.2cm, margin=0cm, width=fit, footer=1cm, bottomdistance=5pt, bottom=20pt, height=fit] This gives a result as aspected! However adding the setting rightedge=3cm to the layout command, for a menu, yields an unexpected result. Okay, an area on the right of the screen is indeed blank as aspected! But the text of a full page is also shifted downward, and overlaps the text within the footer area, which is quite weird isn't it? I don't grasp this footer problem as indicated above Any idea what's wrong? Regards, Gerard Verhaag P.S.
