[NTG-context] Using \defineoverlay for a framed text
Hello listmembers,
I try to use a Metapost drawing as a background to a framed text. — I can not
make it working though…
\startuniqueMPgraphic{Markings} %{Markings:\overlaywidth:\overlayheight}
fill OverlayBox enlarged 5mm withcolor blue;
\stopuniqueMPgraphic
\defineoverlay[Marks]{\useMPgraphic{Markings}}
\setupframed[background=Marks]
\setupframedtexts
[frame=on,
background=Marks]
\starttext
\framedtext{Hello World!}
\blank
\framed{Hello World!}
\stoptext
What is wrong with this code?
Kind regards
Willi

[NTG-context] Pagenumbering with \setupcounter[userpagenumber]
Good evening!
I am trying to make use of the userpagenumber counter. I have a book at hand,
where I need to adjust the start of the pagenumbering.
It appears to me, that the \setupcounter[userpagenumber[state=stop] and later
the \setupcounter[userpagenumber][state=start,start=7] is not giving the
expected result.
MWE:

Is this a bug or do I miss something?

[NTG-context] About testing rest of space on a page
Good evening!
I have a bookproject in which sections are ended with a small graphical
element. Now as usual this graphic might be moved to a new page which is of
course unwanted.
At this moment I have:
\startsetups endsection
\vfil
\placefigure[middle,none][]{}{\externalfigure[ornament2][height=2\lineheight]}
\stopsection
\stopsetups
\def\stopmysection{\setups{endsection}}
I use then instead of \stopsection the \stopmysection. This works except that
the ornament is in some cases placed on the next page. — My question is whether
it is possible to do a \testpage and evaluate the result hereof and then using
either the placement of the ornament and stop the section or just end the
section without ornament?
Kind regards

[NTG-context] Placing a section ending depending on odd/even sectionnumber
Hi,
now I have another hurdle to be taken :-) — Depending on the odd or even number
of the section I have to place an ornament at the end of the section.
I have sofar the following setup:
\define\stopmysection
{\setups{endsection}}
\startsetups endsection
\doifelse
{\currentheadnumber} %{\headnumber[section][current]}{odd}
{even}
{\vfil
{\bf End of even numbered section}
\stopsection%
}
{\vfil
{\bf End of odd numbered section}
\stopsection%
}
\stopsetups
\starttext
\startsection[title=Ward]
\setuppagenumbering[conversion=romannumerals]
\input ward
\stopmysection
\startsection[title=Knuth]
\setuppagenumbering[conversion=numbers]
\input knuth
\stopmysection
\stoptext
However the the evaluation of the sectionnumber results always in “false”,
having therefore always odd as a sectionending.
What to change in order to get the desired result?
Kind regards
Willi

[NTG-context] Header bottom line vanishing after 87 pages
Hello good morning, I encounter a strange problem when compiling my project. The book has 252 pages, compilation runs without errors. But after 87 pages the bottom frame of the header is turned off. The \setupbackgrounds command is given only once in the preamble. — So I am curious what that can be. I tried to reproduce the problem by a simple 255 page loop, but there the issue does not appear. There is no difference between MKIV and LMTX, no difference in older version and yesteray evening’s version of ConTeXt. My question is whether anybody has an idea how to track down this issue. Kind regards Willi ___ 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://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

Re: [NTG-context] help with forced page break in TOC
Hello Julian,
the mechanism does not work in the typesetting of the TOC.
Whatt you is the following, when the book is in a final stage:
run the file with \showinjector. This will give you in the left margin the
numbers of the different TOC-entries.
Now you can say
\setinjector[list] [“the number of the injector where the break must take
place][\page]
I hope that this is solving your issue.
Kind regards

[NTG-context] Filler rules
Good afternoon!
I am dealing with a book, which has a short black rule under the title of the
chapters.
I see, that the old rule mechanisms are no more available in LMTX and are
replaced by fillers.
Now with the following setup, I would expect a 50mm line placed centered.
Hoewever this seems not to work in this way.
What am I missing?
kind regards
Willi
\definefiller
[Titlerule]
[alternative=rule,
left=\hfil,
right=\hfil,
method=local,
width=50mm,
height=2pt,
leftmargin=1pt,
rightmargin=1pt,
align=middle]
\starttext
\midaligned{Some text}
\filler[Titlerule]

Re: [NTG-context] Filler rules
Hoi, In earlier times we had something like \definerule[…][…] and \setuprule[…][…]. This made it possible to create lines of a define width. — So what I found is the fillers, which apparently are not meant for the purpose I am looking for.

Re: [NTG-context] A Spanish introduction to ConTeXt Mark IV
Good evening Joaquin, first of all congratulations for your initiative, this is really an impressive piece of work! Without wanting to critisize I think, that in general MKIV documents should be made up with \start”elment” … \stop”element”. This will be important for all those, who also need to produce xml. I encountred two things in your book: page 96 at the bottom. You write that the “height” is header + headerdistance + textheight + bottomdistance + bottom. This should be footerdistance and footer. — The graphic showing the areas however is correct. page 139 at the top: \chapter[title=…,reference=..]. This should be \startchapter[title=…,reference=…] … \stopchapter Again, thank you for all your work! — Sorry “no hablo Espaniol”… Saludos cordiales Willi > On 14 Oct 2020, at 06:27, Joaquín Ataz López wrote: > > Sorry.

Re: [NTG-context] A Metafun-Problem
Hi, Ok, changing the unitsquare into fullsquare is giving a better result, however it is still not the right drawing. I realise, that in this case probably the use of a vector in this way is not appropriate. — I have changed the drawing into something with rotating the top-line of the rectangle around the corner. If I am correct, then this is the right drawing. Thank you again for your answer, it made me see the culprit correctly!

Wow Hans! As Fabrice mentioned, this is really like kind of a language and messaging from an ancient time… The shapes are genius. I believe playing this game with open cards is already a challenge to find the matching pairs. I just imagine how difficult it would be to play it as an old fashioned memory with the pictures covered… At least one would have to reduce the number of pairs significantly… Great thing, thank you so much!

[NTG-context] Re: can we do binding correction?
Hi Hraban, I think we should clarify this. Binding correction is a fixed amount of whitespace in the spine added to the inner white-space. This is to ensure, that the binding, which is consuming white-space, keeps the inner white-space optically as intended.. The page shift mechanism works only with imposition enabled. This ensures, that the type-setting area does not creep towards the spine because multiple sheets of paper are folded in the spine. I doubt whether it is enough to have the measure of the thickness do determine this creeping effect, because we are making folds which are probably more circles than just adding thickness of paper.

[NTG-context] Re: Margins using 2UP imposition schema
Angel,
I used a lot of impositioning in the past.
If you want to have small white space at the outer edge, then do not use
width=fit. Control the inner whitespace with backspace=… Then calculate the
width of the textarea you want and set this value in width=... There is no need
to use cutspace in your approach.

Re: [NTG-context] booklet set up
Hi Vyatcheslav Humble I am not yet using Luatex... Still, the problem with not processing references coud be related to the utility files. If you process a document with \setuparranging more than once, you loose the correct information in those files. If you want to produce a booklet you could say \setuppapersize[A5][A4] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] %\setuparranging[2UP] \starttext ... \stoptext Run texexex with the arranging switched off. Run texexec once with the arranging switched on.

Re: [NTG-context] mkiv
Hi,
My personal view is, that we should focus on utf and where necessary
on good exeption handling.
Once you type your documents directly in utf, most of the language
specific things are directly ok. Others like French spacing or
language dependent quoting and alike can be handled with the language-
switch...

Sorry. Indeed the well known coding of umlauts and alike with \"... should be there for sake of compatibility. - If those would vanish, this would mean for me to re-encode a couple of thousand pages ... Coming back to the quotation-marks. IMHO one should stick to the \quote and \quotation constructs. This and only this allows you to change the appearance of the marks depending on a given language or adjust them to the style of a print-house/publisher. I would suggest not to make provisions in order to automatically convert ,, into „ .

When necessary one can adjust the kerning of the dots for style-purposes. Otherwise one could discuss to convert three consecutive dots (and only those) to the horizontal ellipsis in Unicode, which would look always better than three dots from the keyboard. Also here it is questionable whether to have automatic conversion. Again this is resembling Word and how to keep grip on what is happening. IMHO the user who places an x-number of dots or dashes must know what he does. There might not be a generic solution for such cases.

[NTG-context] Luatex startup difficulties
Hi,
It has taken quite some time. ... now I would like to get started
with Luatex.
I have installed justtex, upgraded context to the latest version,
upgraded the binaries to the latest version (Version
snapshot-0.20.2-2007121720 (Web2C 7.5.6)).
luatools --generate
texexec --lua --make --all
texexec --make --all
My testfile is:
\enableregime[utf]
\starttext
There is text.
\stoptext

This went wrong: ...luatex/tex/texmf-local/tex/context/base/font-

Hi,
Thanks for this patch!
After replacing the line with you patch I tried to run the file
again. - Error remained. - May be I should remake the formats.
Now I get the following eror during regeneration of the formats:
! LuaTeX error ...luatex/tex/texmf-local/tex/context/base/font-
def.lua:436: attempt to index field 'otf' (a nil value).
\mkdefinefontfeature ...preset_context("#1","#2")}

texligatures=yes,texquotes=yes
Again, I am at a loss.

Re: [NTG-context] Luatex startup difficulties
Hi Hans, indeed, I mistakenly commented the original lines of the first error with % instead of --. Hereafter I left the patch Taco gave in the file font-otf.lua. Running texexec --lua --make --all worked then with This is luaTeX, Version 3.141592-snapshot-0.15.0-2007103113 ConTeXt ver: 2007.12.26 20:00 MKIV fmt: 2007.12.29 int: english/ englis Compiling my simple file ended with an error: error: ...luatex/tex/texmf-local/tex/context/base/node-ini.lua:438: bad argument #2 to 'kerning' (luatex.node expected, got boolean) Then I reverted to the beta This is LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.20.2-2007121720 texexec --lua --make --all run without problem. Compiling my simple file worked then! So, sorry for the noise! Thanks for all your responses!

Re: [NTG-context] Discussion: correspondence with ConTeXt
Hi Wolfgang, First of all thanks for this initiative! - Until now I composed a letter based on a "template" I build one day. Nothing special though. - Still a module which would allow for writing letters and quotes consistently would make live easier. As I am living in the Netherlands, we use commonly block-style letters. Will your module provide the possibility to use a header on the first page and e.g. a smaller something in the margin on the second and following pages? Will your module provide page-numbering switched on beginning at the second page if the document is longer than 1 page? - This last point is in my environment always a struggle... The Dutch TeX users group has released on CTAN a ntgclass.zip (LaTeX). There are three articles which might help to "enlighten" you. Unfortunately two of the three articles are written in Dutch (briefdoc.pdf, brief.pdf). In case you intend to include ideas contained in this NEN-1026 style letter I am happy to help you translating the important parts of those articles. I am looking forward to your module Kind regards Willi On Apr 17, 2008, at 10:13 AM, Wolfgang Schuster wrote: > Hi all, > > > Preface > > > most of the discussions in the last weeks on the list > concerned LuaTeX and MkIV with the topic fonts, xml and bugs, > currently not implemented functions and bug and in the last > few days also mplib.

Re: [NTG-context] Arranging into Signatures?
Hi Michael, Arranging pages is not changed from MKII to MKIV. The possibilities are: % \setuparranging[2*16] %section: one sheet 2 x 16 pages = 32 pages % \setuparranging[2*8] %section: one sheet 2 x 8 pages = 16 pages % \setuparranging[2*4] %section: one sheet 2 x 4 pages = 8 pages % \setuparranging[2*2] %section: one sheet 2 x 2 pages = 4 pages % \setuparranging[2**2] %section: one sheet 2 x 2 pages = 4 pages % \setuparranging[2SIDE]%2 pages next to each other single sided only! % \setuparranging[2TOP] %2 pages above each other, single sided only! % \setuparranging[2UP] %2 pages next to each other, n sheets arranged for a single booklet! % \setuparranging[2DOWN]%2 pages above each other, n sheets arranged for a single booklet! % \setuparranging[2TOPSIDE] %two odd pages on one side, two even pages verso, above each other % \setuparranging[2*4*2]%section of 16 pages: 2 sheets, 4 pages front and backside % \setuparranging[2*2*4]%section of 16 pages: 4 sheets, 2 pages front and backside % \setuparranging[XY] %one sheet with x rows and y columns There is no option to make sections with 32 pages directly based on US-letter paper. Stil what you can do is to compile your document normally without arranging. In a second step you can use texexec to select ranges of 32 pages into a "section-1.pdf" then in a "section-2.pdf" etc. In a third step you can arrange the pages in the "section-files" as usual with \setuparranging[2UP]. On the other hand I suggest to prepare sections of 16 pages. Then you can use the \setuparranging[2*4*2] or \setuparranging[2*2*4] options directly on the whole document. Normally I consider the sections containing 32 pages too thick for getting a nice book with rounded back. Anyhow if you have more than one section you will have to sew them together. This is much easier with 4 sections of 16 pages than with 2 sections of 32 pages.

Can you send the solution also to the list, it's hard to remeber

after a long time and it will also help other users with the same
problem.
I don't know what his problem is with the table but
\placetable[90]{caption}{my table code} should work.

[NTG-context] ConTeXt ver: 2008.07.14 18:07 MKIV
Hi LUA-users, Yesterday I installed a complete new set of minimals on my MAC (OSX 10.4). Now I get very strange results wit MATPOST. The file compiled contains a large definition which is used as an inclusion to produce a series of similar drawings with different parameters. When compiling the document with texexec --lua the fist page is ok. The second and the following pages contain each page all the previous drawings on top of each other. If the same drawing-set is compiled with texexec in MKII mode (This is MetaPost, version 1.085 (kpathsea version 3.5.6dev), some elements are distorted. It concerns elements, which are rotated and shifted. The fullcircle contained in the drawing is distorted too. Further also this document contains on the second and following pages the drawings from the previous pages stacked. This file compiles correctly with This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.40.1 (Web2C 7.5.6) (format=cont- en 2008.3.21) 16 JUL 2008 14:38 ConTeXt ver: 2008.03.11 23:55 MKII fmt: 2008.3.21 int: english/ english I tried to make a small test file. However this did not show the problem described above. For someone who want to test I can provide the source and my pdfs offline.

[NTG-context] Using fontfeatures ...
Hi,
I am trying to use fontfeatures contained in my new otf-font Seravek.
I am getting Seravek in the file but no way to activate the oldstyle
figures and the small caps. :-(
Can someone give m a clue?
Willi
I got until now the following typescript:

Dear Duncan,
its a long time since you posted this ... After the fun in Bohinj, I
try to catch up ...
I do not know which version of Context you use.
With ConTeXt ver: 2008.08.11 11:45 MKIV fmt: 2008.8.11 int:
english/english I get the desired result i.e. the page-number behind
ConTeXt.
However also here with ConTeXt ver: 2008.08.11 11:45 MKII fmt:
2008.8.11 int: english/english, the pagenumber is assigned to the
"see" entry.

Re: [NTG-context] distance with \godown
Hello Jessica,
Hm, indeed your code does give a somewhat strange behaviour. - I played
with it a bit and I changed the following things.
1. Make alle MP-graphics which are static
\startreusableMPgraphic..\stopreusableMPgraphic. Use in the
layerdefinitions \reuseMPgraphic{} -- This makes the compilation a couple of
times faster, because MP must not be called for the calculation of all
graphics at all pages.
2. In order to get the "kasten" steady all lines should start with
\gotopage{...}[]. Another point is, that you might want to have a look
at pp 113 of the metafun manual.
I do not know, whether this is wat you had in mind.
Kind regards Willi

Hi
I have a problem... I I don't know in which way I should solve...
I've make a presentation. It's not very fine done but I'm proud that
this works :-)
I've made a graphic in metafun and make a overlay with this as the
background.
Then I defined a framed box with the same values as the graphic, use
the overlay as a background and nice I have my menu.
But then I make a small space with \godown and now the framed
section goes down and up from page to page.
This phenomenon is only when I do the link (\goto) on the whole
framed. When I put the link on the text there is no problem.
Hope aou understand my problem it's difficult to understand.
I think you can compile this and look to the left side, hope it
works to compile

Re: Antwort: Re: [NTG-context] distance with \godown
Hi Jessica, I think this has to do with interaction. In my opinion it is important that each line is starting with \gotopage and not sometimes with \framed. My be that your MPgraphic "kasten" should be working with \overlaywidth and \overlayheight in order to prevent problems discussed in the metafun manual. Have a good weekend Willi Jessica Holle wrote: Yes this works. Thx, But I've testet it with godown=0pt When I say this is to much distance between the "kastens" and comment "\godown=0pt" out there is the same strange thing. When I comment it on all my pages out there is a bigger distance between the first and second "kasten". Why? Why only on this point? Where does it comes from? How can I disable this?

Re: [NTG-context] long quotation problem
Hi Alan,
I tried your code. I made the extract to be typeset in red.- Indeed a
poor spacing.
I withdrew the \godown[0.10pc]. The result looked fine to me. Then I
replaced the \godown by \blank[halfline], the result was again o.k.
Finally the \godown[0.10pc] was replaced with \godown[12pt] and the
result looks o.k. to me. - So may be that there is a problem with your
unit pc.

Re: [NTG-context] alignment of figures
Hi Jörg,
Sorry I am not capable to give you an appropriate answer to your
questions. I had a look at your doc. It is impressive! - With which
environment are you preparing the chemical formulae?
I was wondering whether it would be nicer to have the shortcuts like
"Pa" in the outer margin. I suggest this, because in your case after
binding the document, you will have difficulties to see the shortcuts as
prominent elements (sorry this is the bookbinder speaking).
Kind regards

Hi Jörg, \relax.

PPCHEMTEX now looks like something to play with, but not something I will switch to whith a deadline for writing the book coming closer. From the publisher I got an example of the layout (a book they had published), and they have symbols in the inside-margins. The "binding" (gluing?) seems to allow that. It's not pretty, but the book opens flat on a table. And this might interest or amuse the professionals on this site: half a year ago, I sent in a "test chapter" as a pdf file, accompanied by a tex-file. I expected them (whoever is responsible) to say they wanted it in Word (they had told me that based on the test-chapter, they would prepare a Word-"mask" for me to fill in text and figures), but to my surprise they thought it looked pretty good, and that if I could "do just a few minor changes", they could print it as is - but that they didn't have anybody who "knows TeX". Now of course I'm a bit nervous, not to say afraid, because I'm pretty sure the "minor changes" will be way beyond my capabilities... Cheers, Jörg. Prof. Dr.med.

Re: [NTG-context] Mini-survey: What do you do with ConTeXt?
Hi, No there is no reason to be shy! - Context has become THE tool for all typesetting purposes. So in my environment letters, invoices, addres-labels, envelop-printing, greetingcards etc are made up in Context together with functionality provided by Metafun. A favorite issue is making flowcharts for e.g. bookbinding guides, meatprocessing or visualization of the production of a tool. Next to all this I write my own books which are completely made up in Context including imposition of the pages for folding sections in order to end up with sewn books. E.g I prepared a 600 pages book which includes over a 120 drawings and metapost-figures. This book is bound as a girdle-book. - Whenever I am asked to give a presentation there is Context involved. - Why? Just because I know I can achieve what I want! Though there is sometimes a bit of hassle after all the changes in the tex-tree occuring during time, Context is still the best environment I have ever tried. Many thanks Hans for this great environment!

[NTG-context] Warning Trojan.Agent.EZ in texmfstart
Hi, I know this has been asked before, only that I did not experience the problem ... Since months I use Bitdefender antivirus software. I never experienced any problem running texmfstart. However since three days Bitdefender thinks, that the executable texmfstart from 27-07- 2005 contains a Trojan. I checked the size of texmfstart.exe. I got an older version which is 580kB the one which gives problems has 596kB. Copying the older version into the tex-tree works fine and Bitdefender does not complain. First question is: which is the actual version and size of texmfstart.exe? Provided that there is nothing wrong with texmfstart.exe with the size of 596kB should I contact the Bitdefender developpers?

If you use the 'width' key, all of the measurements are consistent with eachother, and, otoh it gets even sillier if you use textwidth but set it to, e.g., 200mmm. Whether this is by design or an error is unknown to me. :-) it's by design (but you're free to doubt the design quality): textwidth is for special purposes (i needed it when i had to center a one column text on a special page layout) Hans ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
Re: [NTG-context] Back to sidebars.

Should be fine. If you like \start ... stop pairs, you can also do
it like this if you prefer:
\long\def\startJCsidebar#1\stopJCsidebar%
{\placeintermezzo{}{\startmyohmy #1 \relax\stopmyohmy}}
There already is a sidebar mechanism, so \startsidebar is 'taken'.

Re: [NTG-context] PhD Style for ConTeXt
Hi Renaud,
Since I ws dealing with some aspects of your questions recently ...
I'm working on it now, I've build my document following a complete
structure (project, environment, products, components) as described in
the manual, well done...
The layout is now as I want using \setuplayout.
Currently, I'm working on title. I've found the
\setuplabeltext[fr][chapter=Chapitre] command to customize chapter
name but then, I will draw a line or graphics under my chapter title
and don't know how to deal with properly.
Moreover, I experienced some problems with TOC and the use of \title
for my introduction chapter (I don't want numbering on this).
Eventually, how can I bypass header or footer for a chapter page ?
Thanks, up to now I'm very pleased with ConTeXt, METAFUN and METAPOST !!!
1. Lines under the chapter-title:
If it should be a simple line then you can use
\setupbackgrounds[header][text][bottomframe=on].
If it should be a graphical element one can think of approaches like:
\setupcolors[state=start]
\startuseMPgraphic{HeaderDeco}
numeric w, h, repeats;
path p[];
w := OverlayWidth ; h := OverlayHeight ;
repeats := abs(TextWidth/BodyFontSize);
p[1] := unitsquare xscaled w yscaled h ;
draw p[1] withcolor white;
p[2] := fullcircle scaled BodyFontSize;
p[3] := fullcircle scaled .25BodyFontSize;
draw p[2] shifted (.5BodyFontSize,0);
for i = 1 upto repeats:
if odd i :
filldraw p[3] shifted (i*BodyFontSize+.5BodyFontSize,0);
else :
draw p[2] shifted (i*BodyFontSize+.5BodyFontSize,0);
fi;
endfor;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\setuphead[chapter][command=\Myheader]
\setupheadtext
[chapter=Chapitre]
\defineoverlay[HeaderDeco][\uniqueMPgraphic{HeaderDeco}]
\def\Myheader#1#2{%
\framedtext
[width= \overlaywidth,
height=6\bodyfontsize,
background={foreground,HeaderDeco},
offset=0pt,
strut=no,
frame=off,
align=middle]{%
\headtext{chapter} #1
\blank[small]
#2}}
\starttext
\chapter{Here we go!}
\stoptext
2. Bypassing header and footer: \noheaderandfooterlines or
\setuphead[chapter][header=high]
Kind regards
Willi
