[NTG-context] xmlrefatt
There is a slight restriction on \xmlrefatt that makes its use problematic, because it does not differentiate between an absent attribute and an attribute consisting of an empty string. The use for \xmlrefatt I had in mind was (a) do nothing if the attribute is absent, and (b) reset some value to its default value when the attribute is present but an empty string. Is it an option that its implementation is changed? A boolean return value will be fine, because false then can signify the attribute’s absence and true its presence. In the latter case it is safe to retrieve the attribute which then might be an empty string. Summarizing: the fact that \xmlrefatt tries to do two different things at the same time (signalling presence/absence) and returning an attribute, in a certain sense cripples its use. dr.

However, \xmlloadfile gives an undefined macro TeX-error, allthough the given
alias \xmlload is present (useed beta of 2017-04-16).
Shouldn't macro \xmlloadfile be added? Besides \xmlloadbuffer and \xmloaddata
that would appeal to my preference for systematic naming.
By the way. In this document all descriptions "\macro{}{}{}" refer to arguments
like FILE, NAME etc. but these are absent from the API as shown. I think
presented as \xmlloadfile{NAME}{FILE}{XMLSETUP} for example, would be more
informative (at least I guess I have the order right). Any way, I get confused
with some of the other APIs and would be pleased if a newer version of the
manual has them.

The above issue being solved, I guess there is something else in my setup not
being as it should be.
Because the code:
\starttext
\setupbodyfont[lucidaot]
{\sc abc}
\stoptext
Does give me abc in smallcaps, but placing the \setupbodyfont before the
\starttext surprisingly does not.
\setupbodyfont[lucidaot]
\starttext
{\sc abc}
\stoptext
Changing the lucidaot call for cambria or lmodern gives the expected coorect
behaviour.
So I guess there is something amiss with how I did setup the lucida font in my
system.
I bought the lucida opentype font and installed my TeX trees as follows. The
split between the ConTeXt directory and the one for my local files facilitates
downloading new beta versions.
~home\TeX\texmf\
fonts
opentype
bh
lucidaot
LucidaBlackletterOT.otf .. LucidaSansTypewriterOT.otf
tex
context
user (my own modules)
~home\Applications\TeX-programs\
context
tex
link to the above texmf
further as downloaded from the beta
Strange thing furthermore is that changing the name of the lucidaot-directory
in the texmf-tree does not seem to make any difference, not in any case when I
execute "mtxrun --script font --reload --force" and afterwards "mtxrun --script
context --make".
So I guess there are some things I did not right. Can that be spotted from the
information given here?

[NTG-context] xml expression error
Why is there anexpression error here? I would expect that the expression
number(-1101) evaluates to a negative number taking part in the comparsion.
It looks as if the minus sign is not seen as an unary minus, while -1101
should have be evaluated by Lua's tonumber(-1101).
relevant code snippet is:
\xmlfilter{#1}{lpath[number(@date) <= number(-1101)]/command(...)
xml > lpath > error in expression: number(@date) <= number(-1101) =>
expr.number((ll.at and ll.at['date'])) <=
expr.number(expr.child(ll,'-')1101)
Changing number(-1101) to -1101 does not make a difference.
The @date attribute has no problem with a negative value.

Also in the description \startMPextensions and \startMPinitializations are mentioned, but their descriptions are missing from the list given in the page MetaPost in ConTeXt.

However, the number=no on the last \setuphead has as sideeffect that the chapternumber is missing on equations, figures, tables. Thus for example instead of "table 1.4" I am seeing "Table 4".

Hi,
If you think that in the current version layers are using too many
resources, you're right and may patch:

Hans,
I tested this patch, but see no difference. For your convenience I
include both source and output's, as much documented as I could. The
pdf's show the macro in question used.

Description: GNU Zip compressed data
Although the effect wanted (alternating backgrounds) can be reached
with the alternating sequence of textbackground calls (apart from
adding a \nowhitespace occasionally), I suppose you are a bit like me:
perfection dictates that everything should behave well and as expected!
Good luck with the debugging!

[NTG-context] definetypeface usage
Trying to findout how ConTeXt's font mechanism works, I come to following question: From the brochure "Fonts in Context" (mfonts.pdf) I have picked up the notion that exercising a call to \definetypeface gets fonts in working order (see the examples there on font specifiers "funny" and "whow", for example, and the resulting typeface collection). Also in file type-exa.tex there is a typescript [postscript] where \definetypeface is exercised, seemingly to bring a matched series of times, helvetica and courier into existence. However, the usage of the postscript fonts via \setupbodyfont[pos] seems to be completely unconnected with this script (I traced the typescript checking). Neither can I find somany calls to \definetypeface (and its derivatives \dodefinetypeface and \dododefinetypeface); it seems they are barely used in the code. So, the questions are: - Does \setupbodyfont[pos] results in the scaled font set as given in type-exa? - Or does \definetypeface belong to an alternative/obsolete font definition scheme, totally unrelated to the definitions called up in the scripts in type-pre.tex, type-syn.tex, and other friends? - In preparing font scripts, can I therefore totally ignore \definetypeface or will that be disastrous for the result? If somebody would be so kind to enlighten me... Hans van der Meer ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
[NTG-context] typescript question
There is something I don't understand about the typescript business (using ConText version june 30, 2004): By calling \setupbodyfont[lbr] the following script (referred to als typescript number-1) in type-buy.tex (lines 161-170) is executed: \starttypescript [lbr] \usetypescript [serif,sans,mono,math,calligraphy,handwriting] [lucida] [name,special,\defaultencoding] \usetypescript [serif,sans,mono,math,calligraphy,handwriting] [default] [size] \usemathcollection[lbr] \usetypescript [all] [lucida] [\defaultencoding] \stoptypescript Also I have defined somewhere else a typescript (number-2): \starttypescript [Times] ... \stoptypescript WITHOUT the line "...[all]..." in typescript number-1 all goes well, lucida fonts result in the product. However, WITH the line "...[all]..." in typescript number-1 there is found the following match, as can be seen in the log (by setting \tracetypescriptstrue): >>> fonts : enter [Times] [] [] >>> fonts : check [all] [lucida] [texnansi] >>> fonts : matched Now that seems strange to me. I might be misunderstanding the typescript search mechanism, but why does it turn out that the search key [lucida] is ignored? Here it seems that after the [all] the following search keys are ignored, reducing the check to [all][][]; but why then bother giving these 2nd and 3rd key at all? But even if this behaviour is implied by giving the first search key as [all], it leads to wrong results. Because now the typescript number-2 is executed too, working havoc to the font setup. Is there someone who can enlighten me on these matters? Thanks in advance. Hans van der Meer
[NTG-context] math-lbr
Hi Hans, I get the impression that in math-lbr.tex the codes for blacktriangleleft and -right are interchanged. Having F0 where it should be F1 and vice versa. Imho it should be left = F0 and right = F1. Hans van der Meer ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
[NTG-context] MathTimes usage
I have the YandY MathTimes fonts and would like to use them in ConTeXt but do not know how to get them into action. In the source there are some references to MathTimes but nothing I try does something simple like for the lucida fonts: \setupbodyfont[lbr] Maybe I missed the magic invocation for \setupbodyfont[MathTimes-magic]?

with respect to footnotes, maybe i can make that an option (there are
more exceptions)
Hans
Here is the smallest one I could construct that shows the page crossing
effect. I used the "location=paragraph". With "location=text" I did not
experiment.
Here follows the code:
% testing textbackgroundcolor
\setupbodyfont[12pt]% using the default cmr font
\setuppapersize[S6][S6]
\setuplayout[width=middle,location=middle,header=0pt,footer=4ex]
\setuppagenumbering[location={footer,inright},alternative=singlesided]
%
\setupcolors [state=start]
\definecolor [lavender] [r=.901961,g=.901961,b=.980392]
\definecolor [lavenderblush][r=1,g=.941176,b=.960784]
% general page coloring
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=color,backgroundcolor=lavenderblush]
%
% special background coloring for parts of the text
\definetextbackground[A][frame=off,location=paragraph,
backgroundcolor=lavender,backgroundoffset=0pt]
\starttext
%
\dorecurse{10}{Some text that must fill a portion of the page. }\par
\dorecurse{10}{Some text that must fill a portion of the page. }\par
\dorecurse{10}{Some text that must fill a portion of the page. }\par
%
% WITH 8 AND 9 IN THE NEXT RECURSION THE FIRST PARAGRAPH ON PAGE 2 HAS
% THE BACKGROUND COLORED BUT THE WHITESPACE BELOW THE LAST PARAGRAPH ON
% PAGE 1 IS COLORED TOO.
% CHANGE THE 8/9 TO 10 AND THE COLORING ON PAGE 1 DISPAPPEARS.
% I HAVE BECOME ACROSS SITUATIONS WERE THE COLORING EXTENDED STILL
% FURTHER BACK OVER MORE PRECEDING PARAGRAPHS, BUT IT IS DIFFICULT TO
% CONSTRUCT A MINIMAL EXAMPLE FOR THAT.
\dorecurse{9}{Some text that must fill a portion of the page. }\par
%
% THIS SHOULD COLOR THE FIRST PARAGRAPH ON PAGE 2
\starttextbackground[A]
\dorecurse{5}{Text with the background. }
\stoptextbackground
\dorecurse{10}{Some text that must fill a portion of the page. }\par
%
\stoptext
I hope you can find what causes it, because I like the effects.
Keeping footnotes free from the coloring would be very great if it
could be accomplished (same as for interposed floats), like:
-- text on page containing reference to footnote, not colored background
-- text on page with colored background
-- footnote not colored (or perhaps the same coloring as where the
reference occurs?)
-- text on next page goes on with colored background

[NTG-context] correction
re: might be an error in ConTeXt file prop-mis.tex I had some difficulty with typesetting backgrounds. It seems there is an error in file prop-mis.tex (version 2004-06-21): token "\popsplitnegativeproperty" is never defined but "\popsplitoverprintproperty" is twice. I think the second one should be \popsplitnegativeproperty, because then the sequence \startbackground some text \stopbackground does typeset after regenerating the formats. Hope this helps.

[NTG-context] tables
Does someone knows where there is information on the table environment in ConTeXt? I have read the intro on ConTeXt and the pamphlets from the Pragma-site on tabulate and btable, but there seem to be a lot more options than can be found in these; I encountered something like \AR etc. whose effects I could not figure out with some tests. Also there is some mention of Wichura's manual. Is this somewhere to be found on the internet? Thanks in advance.
