Re: [NTG-context] Hyphenation pattern for Esperanto

[Alain Delmotte]

  
  
I forgot to write that I am ready to
answer your questions.
(En Esperanto one avoids to write the
dates as numbers, because the users do not all understand the
same way: 3/9/2021 is it third of September or ninth of March?)

  Hi Alain,

in my email, I used official language codes: be=Belarussian, bg=Bulgarian, sr=Serbian.

The \installlanguage command is very important because it contains
definitions of the most frequently used typographic elements of the 
given language, for details see below.

Looking forward for both lang-txt files. The sooner you will send it, the better.

The best,

Values for \installlanguage:

* spacing: packed means no difference between interword and intersentence spaces.
* (left|right)sentence: punctuation marks -- very often dashes -- for included parts in some sentences.
* (left|right)quotation: definition of primary quotation marks. 
* (left|right)quote: definition of secondary (nested) quotation marks.
* (left|right)hyphenmin: number of characters at the end of a line and at the beginning of the next line when the word is hyphenated.
* date: how the date should be typically typeset: order, spacing, or other signs or abbreviation or texts.

Those I do not know for eo, have been marked with a percent sign.

#I have seen that the \lowerleftdoubleninequote,... are sometimes given by
#the character itself “ ”,...
#For the date, is it the order of the part of the date yyy mm dd?
# 
#I did prepare the file lang-txt.lua and did send it to two friends for
#checking, I wait for their answer (I hope not to long).
# 
#I also have the pattern for hyphenation, the one from TeXLive uses
#fonctions to shorten the length of the file.
# 
#For French, I'll do it and send it to you.
# 
#Thanks for taking care of this.

This post illustrates the effect of each keyword for spacing:

I suppose that the rule "not mixing keywords and assignment in the same
argument" is valid for all setups having multiples commands.

  
  
Yes, there are no commands in ConTeXt where keyword and assignments are mixed in the options.

  You can't put keywords and assignments in the same argument of a
  setup command, use separate arguments for each of them and it
  works.

Re: [NTG-context] How to reduce the inter-item space

This partly helps, because it suppress
the space before the items (first level) and the lines are at
the margin and there is still space between a first and a second
level itemize.

Hello to
  all:
  
  
  Two months ago I informed to the list that I had written an
  introduction in Spanish to ConTeXt Mark IV. This interested
  several people, and in order to increase their potential audience,
  a member of this list (native English speaker) has proceeded to
  translate my text into English.
  
  
  It is precisely the members of this list who need no introduction
  at all, but it can sometimes be useful to help someone get started
  with the fascinating typesetting system that is ConTeXt.
  
  
  As for the English translation, I have made some small changes to
  the Spanish version, so anyone who understands Spanish and prefers
  to read it in its original language can download the new version:
  
  
  Both versions are available at the following links
  
  
  - Spanish: https://webs.um.es/jal/docs/introCTX_esp.pdf
  
  
  - Engilish: https://webs.um.es/jal/docs/introCTX_eng.pdf
  
  
  Soon I will send both texts, with their source files, to the
  documentation section of the CTAN repository.

Re: [NTG-context] Hyphenation pattern for Esperanto

[Alain Delmotte]

  
  
Hi Hans and Mojca,
I join a file containing the list of
patterns for Esperanto and the definition/translation of the
general words for titles, glossaries,...
In fact there is a file for Esperanto
in:
  
C:\Users\Alain\context-lmlx\tex\texmf-context\tex\context\patterns\mkiv\lang-eo.lua
  
So it has been in mkiv.
Now regarding the labels, how could I
provide the translations? Should I add a line with translation
for each term (or the most important, I have seen that the
French labels are not all translated)?
Thanks, regards,
Alain

[NTG-context] Update for old computers

[Alain Delmotte]

  
  
Hi!

When there is an update of lmtx, is it for all versions
(Windows, Linux and x32 and x64)?
I have an old laptop running Linux (16.04) but it is x86 32bits.
I can use it for lmtx, even it this one is not updated as
regularly as the Windowsx64 on my main computer.
I just want to know when I should update the Linux version.

Thanks for your work Hans.

[NTG-context] Using ConTeXt to create dictionnaries

[Alain Delmotte]

  
  
Hi!

In 2009 I did participate to EuroTeX. This was the year when
TeXworks was presented.
One of the presentations was the use
of ConTeXt (mkiv?) to create a dictionary. I think for a
linguistic edition using a data base and ConTeXt to create the
final edition.

Is it possible to have some details and, if possible, some
contacts; a friend is interested in this system for the edition
of dictionaries (en Esperanto).

Thanks for the information.

Regards,

Alain

[NTG-context] Hyphenation pattern for Esperanto

[Alain Delmotte]

  
  
Hi! 
  
I'd like to have hyphenation for
Esperanto; it doesn't exist in ConTeXt but exist in TeX/LaTeX.
Looking to the files, the French
hyphenation files for LaTeX and ConTeXt looks very much the
same. But for Esperanto there is a difference at the beginning:

  
--
\begingroup
% Makrooj por la finaĵoj:
\def\adj#1{#1a. #1aj. #1ajn. #1an. #1e.}
\edef\nom#1{\adj{#1} #1o. #1oj. #1ojn. #1on.}
\def\ver#1{#1as. #1i. #1is. #1os. #1u. #1us.}
%
\patterns{
a1 e1 i1 o1 u1   % ebligu tranĉon post la vokaloj,
2aj. 2ajn. 2an. 2as. % krom se antaŭ finaĵo,
-
The comments are in Esperanto. The
definition \adj, \nom and \ver are for adjectives, names and
verbs and are used in the file as:

% AĈ
\nom{1a2ĉ}
% AD:
\nom{1a2d} \ver{1a2d}
.avok2a3d .bal2a3d ĉokol2a3d .fas2a3d .inv2a3d kamar2a3d
.kan2a3d limon2a3d
persv2a3d .pom2a3d seren2a3d
% AĴ:
\nom{1a2ĵ}
% ALT-

Would it be difficult to create the Esperanto file for ConTeXt?
Thanks for your help and for ConTeXt.
Regards,
Alain Delmotte

[NTG-context] Running context-lmtx on Linux

[Alain Delmotte]

  
  
Hi!
I am coming back to ConTeXt after some
years; but lately I did find a funny introduction to ConTeXt in
French based on context-lmtx (http://www.lesfichesabebert.fr/).
I did install it for Windows-64, added
the reference to the context folders under TeXworks, re-difined
the Context command and everything went OK.
I did want to do the same on an old
portable computer running lubuntu 16.04 (it's a 32 bits machine
with small disk and RAM). I followed all the steps to install
it. But this didn't work neither in the console (I get the
message "Le programme « context » n'est pas encore installé.
Vous pouvez l'installer en tapant: sudo apt install context" -
but this, I suppose will install the context from the linux
distribution) , nor under TeXworks (message: "startup error: no
format file given, quitting".
Is there a solution? Or my system is
too old?
Thanks for your attention and for your
help.
Regards,
Alain

Re: [NTG-context] External figures from other folders

[Alain Delmotte]

Hi,

Le 4/02/2013 15:39, Mari Voipio a écrit :


One more trick: ConTeXt will first look for a pic in current
directory, then proceed to check out the others defined by
\setupexternalfigures.
When I worked with a master file and its translations where some
figures had translated text and others didn't, I dumped the translated
pics in the same directory with my translated tex file, while all the

the Swedish tex file, it would first look for graphics in its own
directory 'swedish', and only if a graphic could not be found, it

You were compiling the Swedish tex file from the Swedish

In other words: the compilation of the Swedish text was 
called from?? the master file? or the Swedish tex file itself?

master file? or the Swedish tex file itself?


Background: at that point of time I couldn't figure out about project
structures. And I drew my flow charts in CorelDraw, hadn't taught
myself that, either. :-)

NB. This is a bit simplified example of how things went, the real
thing contains more directories and subdirectories, but those are not
important to explain my idea.


What I had is a directory structure like this

PR-23
  PR-23/swedish
  PR-23/portuguese
  PR-23/spanish
  PR-23/german

It all started with a single-language project, language subdirectories
got added over time when translations turned out to be of essence.
[PR-23 is the name of the product for which the document is written.]

To illustrate the system with graphics, let's say that the main
directory PR-23 contained a flowchart called flow_troubles.pdf and a
wiring picture wrg-366.pdf.
Wiring drawings are never translated, so every manual version uses the
same graphic.
On the other hand, the flow chart needs to be translated for every
language version. I did that by copying the English original (Corel
Draw graphic) into the language folder, then translating, saving and
exporting as pdf in that (sub)directory. The result is that both e.g.
the subdirectory swedish and the main directory PR-23 would contain a
graphic called flow_troubles.pdf, but the one in the subfolder would
be in Swedish.

Then, if I needed a Swedish manual, I needed to go into subfolder
Swedish and compile the main .tex file there. At the beginning of that
file I had the command \setupexternalfigures[directory=../]. When the
compilation came to wrg-366.pdf, the graphic could not be found in the
same directory, so ConTeXt went one step up as instructed and picked
up the wiring drawing there. Later when compilation would get as far
to flow_troubles.pdf, ConTeXt would look in the working directory
'swedish', find it there and pick up that one and *stop looking for
that graphic*. Ergo, because the Swedish one could be found first, the
existence of the English version in the search path is not a problem.


This way I didn't need to change the names of my graphics nor my code.
It was also handy when translations arrived in batches; I translated
the graphics one by one and could always compile a proper looking
document, first with all graphics in English, then some in the target
language, finally fully translated - and still, if a new version of
the wiring drawing turned up, I only had to update the master
directory and then remember to compile the translations to get the
changes in.



One more thing to remember is that I really do product manuals and
they are always in fluctuation - there's no final version of the
manual until the production of that particular model has ceased. Thus
years have taught me to avoid duplicate information to utmost, because
the more places to update because of a minor change, the more likely
it is to forget at least one of them. Been there, done that...
[When I switched to ConTeXt, each manual version was a separate MS
Word document. To update a wiring drawing, I had to open each version,
import the drawing to replace the old one, then save and close. And
hope for the best, switching figures in Word wasn't always that
straight forward, ConTeXt is definitely more predictable.]

Re: [NTG-context] Possible inconsistency in the use of paragraphs in ConTeXt

[Alain Delmotte]

Hi,

First I would like to ask not to change messages' subject if 
you want to see another point.
Changing subject breaks the normal links of threads, further 
it becomes very difficult to find a message embedded in 
another subject.

For a new subject create a new message/thread.

I also search for documentation, especially to understand 
the philosophy of ConTeXt.
I did find the thread From LaTeX to ConTeXt very 
interesting because, even if you do not know LaTeX, the 
steps to obtain certain results are well described, often in 
many steps more and more professional.


Good ConTeXting,

Alain Delmotte

Hi Everybody,

Thank you for your help with the documentation.

Inorder to teach myself ConTeXt I have to decided to write a
learning by doing manual for ConTeXt.

First off, I know I can get the formatting needed,
by using defineparagraph and setupparagraphs, but then
have I have to use start/stop-myparagraph, etc. .

  Well, I wanted format my normal paragraphs.
Following, the standard way of doing things in ConTeX, as
with headers and wanted to use setupparagraphs.

The problem want is the name of the standard(default) paragraph.
I have not found any. Is there a name for it.

As example lets take I want to have a little space between my paragraph.

MWE

\setupwhitespace{medium]

\startext

paragraph 1

paragraph 1

\stoptext

What I would like is to do:

MNWE:

\setuparagraphs[][][before={\setupwhitespace{medium]]
%% or
%% \setuparagraphs[][][before=\bigskip]
\startext

paragraph 1

paragraph 1

\stoptext

In other words there is no way, that I can find to globally set standard 
paragraphs!!

The same goes for indenting of paragraphs. Yes, Yes there are the standard 
indenting commands.

I feel though one should be able to use setupparagraphs for this.

Also, it took me awhile to find the setupwhitespace command, because for me 
whitespace can be
either horizontal or vertical. I think it would be better to rename it to 
setupparagraphspacing or something
like that. Or at least define a synonym for it. This would make things easier 
for the casual or beginning user.

Maybe I am missing something. Ideas welcome.

regards
Keith.

Ok I did and it seemed to work, at least some files were updated.

But when I compiled I got the same versions' information in the log


The same version of ConTeXt or the same version of LuaTeX?

What do you get with
 luatex --version


The same versions for both context and luatex:
context 28782 20120630
luatex 26690 0.72.2-20120806

When I did update from TeX Live, 6 files were updated, but I 
did take note, unfortunately.


By the way, I have two context.exe in TeX Live in:
c:\texlive\2012\bin\win32
c:\texlive\2012\texmf-dist\scripts\context\stubs\mswin

Testing form the command line, they are the same as noted above.

The one in the standalone are:
LuaTeX, Version beta-0.75.0-201301 (rev 4565)
ConTeXt  ver: 2013.01.24 16:47 MKIV  fmt: 2013.1.25  int: 
english/english



?


By the way, for the stand alone version under TeXworks, the bin folder
information should go before those of TeX Live to avoid problems.


In TeXworks one needs to be careful about paths in either case. (But
then again, there's the same issue with basically any GUI program that
runs TeX. PATH usually needs to be set up separately from the shell.)


My paths are defined in Windows, but with TeXworks they also 
appear in the definition window for the program.

I'll enquire to see if it is possible to suppress those.

[NTG-context] Some more question, ex Context an excursion

Using MkIV and the latest(?) standalone version.

1) How to force line jump to avoid overfull \hbox, 
particularly with more or less narrow columns?


2) I did insert \showlayout just before \stoptext and I get 
4 pages with the same information!!!

[NTG-context] Coming back to ConTeXt

[Alain Delmotte]

Hi,

 I decided to give another try to ConTeXt.
 I already did two years ago, I think, but I had problems 
mostly because of the lack of documentation for MkIV.
 Having a more or less strong knowledge and experience of 
LaTeX doesn't help!!!


 This time:
 I did not succeed to install a stand alone version. I have 
also TeX Live and I need it for LaTeX.

 I am using TeXworks (not the one from TeX Live).
 I use ConTeX from TeX Live 2012:
 This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.70.2-2012080612 (TeX Live 
2012/W32TeX)
 ConTeXt  ver: 2012.05.30 11:26 MKIV  fmt: 2013.1.20  int: 
english/english


 Following the discussions on ntg-context, there often is 
solution using one of hte latest version of ConTeXt, so I 
have a first question: is it possible to update the TeX Live 
ConTeXt and its associated files?


 I also have questions about typography (hyphenation, 
typographic rules,...) to have something according the 
French rules, and others...


 Other questions in another message.

 Thanks for your help,

 Alain Delmotte

[NTG-context] Some questions

[Alain Delmotte]

 Hi,

 Now some questions to solve the problems I have when I try 
to follow the tutorial ConTeXt an excursion.
 I think it is for mkII and I use mkIV and that there has 
been many changes in between.


 - The example at the bottom of page 11 and page 12 gives 
me an error:

 ! Argument of \head has an extra }.

system   tex  error on line 52 in file 
travail.tex: Argument of  ...


42 Hasselt lies in the province of Overijssel and there 
are a number of customs that are typical of this province.

43 \startitemize
44 \head kraamschudden \hfill (child welcoming)
45 When a child is born the neighbours come to visit the 
new parents. The women come to admire the baby and the men 
come to judge the baby (if it is a boy) if he will become a 
strong man.
46 The neighbours will bring a {\em krentenwegge} along. 
A krentenwegge is a loaf of currant bread of about 1 \Meter\ 
long. Of course the birth is celebrated with {\em jenever}.

47 \head nabuurschap (naberschop) \hfill (neighbourship)
48 Smaller communities used to be very dependent on the 
cooperation among the members for their well being. Members 
of the {\em nabuurschap} helped each other in difficult 
times during harvest times, funerals or any hardship that 
fell upon the community.

49 \head Abraham \ Sarah  \hfill (identical)
50 When people turn 50 in Hasselt it is said that they 
see Abraham or Sarah. The custom is to give these people a 
{\em speculaas} Abraham or a Sarah. Speculaas is a kind of 
hard spiced biscuit.

51 \stopitemize
52 

- The tables pages 30-31-32-35 are not at the right position 
on the page, mostly they are to the right and not centered.


- The chemical formulae give an error (pages 37-38), but 
I'll come back to that later on, but what is the manual 
about it?


- The boxes on page 45, second example are not at the right 
position, particularly the second is on the same line as the 
first.

\leftaligned
{\inframed[width=fit]{People in Hasselt}}
\midaligned
{\inframed[height=1.5cm,frame=off]{have a}}
\rightaligned
{\inframed[background=screen]{historic background}}

What are the up todate manuals for MkIV?

OK It's enough bothering you for the moment.

Thanks in advance,

Alain Delmotte

Tell us more about the specific problems.


I did retry everything from the beginning and now it works.
One problem is that there is two bin folder and I was 
first pointing to the wrong one; after that I didn't see the 
context.exe and was trying to use mtxrun.

And of course I did add to the path.

So now it works from a standalone version. (up to date)




  Following the discussions on ntg-context, there often is solution using one
of hte latest version of ConTeXt, so I have a first question: is it possible
to update the TeX Live ConTeXt and its associated files?


I would suggest you to do the following:
- Add tlcontrib to the list of repositories and update luatex and
ConTeXt from there (http://tlcontrib.metatex.org/usage.html).


I did try this before reinstalling the standalone; but it 
was refused because there probably is a pointer to TeX Live 
2010 and I have 2012.



- You can add the latest version of ConTeXt to texmf-local or
$TEXMFHOME (usually $HOME/texmf, but may be set to a different place)
or to some other place. You can clone a git repository
(https://gitorious.org/context) there for example (just make sure that
you don't use one extra directory).
- Apart from that you need to make sure that mtxrun will be taken from
the latest ConTeXt. There are different options to achieve that. (Add
$HOME/bin to PATH and put a symlink or copy of mtxrun there, or any
other option that comes to your mind.)

I did not try all example, but this seems to work here. Can you

In another example before, the locations for floats was

- The chemical formulae give an error (pages 37-38), but I'll come

Hans and Alan are in the process of completely re-writing the

OK I'll wait

In MkIV there's a new syntax you can use:

   \inframed[width=fit]{People in Hasselt}
\stoplinealignment

\startlinealignment [middle]

I did not investigate why the middle alignment is on the same line
as the left alignment and if that's intended or not.


OK, it works, but I do not get the result of the book, I'll 
investigate.




What are the up todate manuals for MkIV?


I'm afraid there are none (and probably never will be). The wiki
improved an awful lot during the last months, especially the command
reference. There's also the revised manual, tex.stackexchange and of
course the mailing list.


Waiting the book announced by Alan, I'll try to use the wiki 
and existing modified books.


Thanks a lot for your help,

Alain

You did not make yourself clear what exactly you want and where to

I think what he mean is to have a size a little bit bigger 
than the required format, so one is sure that the page will 
be full.


Example, if you want an image to occupy the top of your page 
from one border of the paper to the other and touching the 
top edge, it is usual for a printer (the man not the 
machine) to have the image protruding left, top and right, 
so when one cut the paper one is sure that the image will 
not leave a tiny white space on one of the side.

Re: [NTG-context] Grammar

[Alain Delmotte]

Hi!

Henning Hraban Ramm a écrit :
So, as several other posters already said: It's not the words who are to 
blame, but the speakers and their mind sets...


Let me just add a comment about he/she and the willing of 
the speakers.


In Esperanto, there is
li = he
ŝi = she (same pronunciation)
ĝi = it (pronounce ĝ like j in just : dj)

The neutral is used when you do not specify the gender (like 
speaking about a cat without specifying male or female) or 
when there is no gender (for an object).
But Zamenhof, the initiator of Esperanto, said you also use 
it for young humans, like babies.

So it is a real neutral form.

But people want to keep their own use (the use from their 
language) and only keep ĝi for objects.
(even if, for example in English, one uses she when 
speaking about ones boat!!)

Some other want to have ŝli as neutral.
Other again want to suppress li and ŝi and only have ri.

There is no solution to the problem; any solution will find 
people not agreeing for one or another reason.


But one has to try to avoid discrimination.

Re: [NTG-context] The ConTeXt book

[Alain Delmotte]

Hi!

Gour a écrit :

03/04 13:42


Taco The availability of ConTeXt books will not automatically create
Taco more users (nor even automatically create readers, for that
Taco matter).

Hmm, interesting...

If even you think that ConTeXt books are not important (to bring new
users), then no wonder we do not have even a single one...


I think Taco didn't say *at all* that books are not important; he just said 
that the books will not automatically increase the use.

03/04 14:13

However, it might be that ConTeXt prefer to always stay niche-product
and to, as Haskellers say: Avoid success at all costs.” :-)
  
Do you know many software in development for which there are plenty of 
books.


Further the accusation of somes other that Hans is keeping information 
for his work and not documenting it is shocking me.
Hans said that he did develop ConTeXt for *his* work and then opened it 
to others to benefit.
And Hans is working for the ConTeXt users free and would prefer, I 
think, to use his secret!!? tools and go on for his real work.


I also regret that the documentation is not complete and updated for 
mkiv, but mkiv is still in development even if it is operational (but 
Hans suggest to use mkii for professional work).


Many people here who complain about documentation, also quickly say that 
they do not have time to write the asked for book: they have other 
things on the fire!! just... like Hans who is developing ConTeXt and do 
not have time writing documentation.
What is more important: having a very good program and wait for its 
documentation, or a very good documentation and a buggy program???


Thanks to those who develop ConTeXt and answer the questions.

Have a good Eastern time

Alain

Thank you, Luigi.
This code gives a nice result with the page sitting neatly centered on
the paper.

However, when I increase the margin width to 25mm all gets shifted to
the left. Both margins get 25 width, the right margin stays within the
boundaries of the A4 paper, the left one is pushed outside. One would
have expected that with width=fit, the increase of marginwidth would
go at the expense of textwidth and that location=middle will still
dictate the overall position.
But no, it does not work that way apparently. Setting  margin=20mm is
about the limit. Even setting textwidth to a small size, for example
10 cm, does not work to keep the page inside the paper. The extra
white space all shows up at the right side as an enormously wide
rightedge while the left margin is still partly outside the paper. In
other words: location=middle does not work.
Strange indeed.

Is there anything that could be done about this?
And would it be possible to different margin width for the right and
left margin?
  
When I tested some of the page layout possibilities I did read in * that 
the margin and the text are *not* at the same level, so the margins can 
be *under* the text.
This also means that changing the margin will not affect the text width, 
and so on.

[NTG-context] Different behaviour

[Alain Delmotte]

Hi!

I did find a different behaviour for the same command.
In:
1] \starttext

2] \defineenumeration

3] [remark]

4] [way=bysection,location=top,

5]  text=Remark,

6]  inbetween=\blank,

7]  after=\blank]

8] \remark In the early medieval times Hasselt was a place of 
pilgrimage. %point 1


9] \subremark Nowadays the {\em Heilige Stede} is closed again. %point 2

10] \subremark Nowadays the {\em Heilige Stede} is closed again. %point 3

11]
12] Remarquer la possibilité d'avoir des sous-numéros.

13]
14] \remark In the early medieval times Hasselt was a place of 
pilgrimage. %point 4


15]
16] \subremark Nowadays the {\em Heilige Stede} is closed again. %point 5

17]
18] Aussi les \type{\startremark...\stopremark}.

19]
20] \remark In the early medieval times Hasselt was a place of 
pilgrimage. %point 6


21]
22] \subremark Nowadays the {\em Heilige Stede} is closed again. %point 7

23]
24] \subremark Nowadays the {\em Heilige Stede} is closed again. %point 8

25]
26] \stoptext

This works (no empry line before points 1, 2, 3; empty lines before the 
others)
If I suppress the line before any of the points 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 I get an 
error Runaway argument for the line of point 8!


Suppressing *after*  point 3 or point 5 also gives an error.


In fact, it looks like there should be an empty line after the \remark 
or \subremark, but not for the first group!



(NB. I did add the line number to avoid misunderstanding going from a 
Windows CRLF to other CR or LF)

[NTG-context] Table of contents

[Alain Delmotte]

Hi!

I have two question about table of contents.

1) is it possible to have the toc at the end of the document.
I tried to place \placecontent or \completecontent at the end and it 
didn't work; I only managed to have the toc at the beginning of the 
document.


2) If I define my own header (like in ConTeXt an excursion: 5. Headers) 
and so, for example, replacing \section by \myheader, which has a 
section level, the table of content is empty!


If the information is in another document, please give me a pointer, thanks!

Hi!

I have two question about table of contents.

1) is it possible to have the toc at the end of the document.
I tried to place \placecontent or \completecontent at the end and it 
didn't work; I only managed to have the toc at the beginning of the 
document.


2) If I define my own header (like in ConTeXt an excursion: 5. 
Headers) and so, for example, replacing \section by \myheader, which 
has a section level, the table of content is empty!


If the information is in another document, please give me a pointer, 
thanks!

\definehead[mysection][section]

[NTG-context] Stack overflow

[Alain Delmotte]

Hi!

I just upgraded ConTeXt minimals
(from the status-of-update.lua file:
[info]={
 [comment]=this file contains the settings of the last 'mtxrun 
--script update ' run,

 [count]=3,
 [date]=2010-03-20 09:14:09,
 [runtime]=90.688,
 [version]=0.1,
},
)

When I want to compile the file on which I am working, I get:
C:\Programmes\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-mswin\bin\mtxrun.lua:2161: stack overflow

So, I am stuck.


What is the solution?


Alain

The same happens to me, but only when I invoke context.exe. It works fine 
with context.cmd. (The same holds true for mtxrun.exe vs. mtxrun.cmd and 
probably others.)


(Using recent minimals from the garden.)
  
Same here; as I am using TeXworks, I redefined mtxrun to mtxrun.cmd and 
it worked!


I did upgrade to see if the other problem was solved

[NTG-context] Numbered descriptions

[Alain Delmotte]

Hi!

Going on with ConTeXt an excursion.
Using Windows XP, the minimals, TeXworks and *MkIV*

I have a problem with the enumerated descriptions.

With the following source (taken from the Hasselt book :-) ):
---
\starttext

Some text here

\defineenumeration

  [remark]

  [location=top,text=Remark,inbetween=\blank,after=\blank]

\remark In the early medieval times Hasselt was a place of pilgrimage.

I get the following numbering
Remark 1
Remark 1.1
Remark 2.1
Remark 2.2
Remark 3.2
Remark 3.3
I would expect 1, 1.1, 2, 2.1, 3, 3.1

I f put:
\setupenumerations[remark][headstyle=bold]

\setupenumerations[subremark][headstyle=slanted]

before group 2, I get
Remark 1
Remark 1.1
Remark 1
Remark 1.1
Remark 2.1
Remark 2.2
numbering is reset starting with group 2 (I think this is normal) but 
still the following numbering is odd.



Any explanation?

[NTG-context] Unable to use example from Excursion

Hi!

I am going through ConTeXt an excursion, but I cann't get the example 
of table 11.9 (page 34, source pp 32-33) to work.

I always get an error:

I have tried to comment different parts of the code, but this didn't 
help (even if the error changed).

The code is exactly the code from the book (copy/paste from the .pdf)

Further, I do not see the effect of \setupcaption[style=boldslanted] in 
example 11.10 (pp 34-35)


I am using the minimals distribution, MKIV on Windows XP SP3.

Thanks for the help,

Alain

Re: [NTG-context] [translation] Context, an excursion

[Alain Delmotte]

Hi!

Sebastien Mengin a écrit :

Hi,

More than a year ago, I started to participate to the translation
project of the context for the beginers guide: ConTeXt, an excursion.
  

participate ! Does it mean there is a group doing this?

For some reasons, I had to stop this.

Now, I'd like to try again. Is this doc still accurate?
I mean, does it worth to work on its translation or should I wait
for another version?
  

I think ConTeXt, an excursion reflects mkII.
It should be updated for mkIV. (I think)

I am ready to participate.

Any solution?

Also, is it possible to run ConTeXt from MikTeX 2.8?

How exactly did you install it and how exactly did you run it? You can also use
--goodies=texworks
while intsalling the minimals.
  

installation:

unzipped it in C:\Programmes; this created c:\Programmes\Context\...
then in Context I used: first-setup.bat (as I am not going to use MkII,

Not that I would know of. I mean: it's possible to use it (with all
the font files that come with MikTeX), but you need to install it and
update it manually.

[NTG-context] Installing minimals

[Alain Delmotte]

Hi!

On the 16th of September I mentioned that I had problems to install the 
minimals.


Further, on my portable, the one I used during EuroTeX I could not 
connect to INTERNET anymore even after changing the connection parameters!!


I then decide to un-install the firewall program I use (COMODO -- which 
I disabled when I tried to install the minimals, but with no result) and...
everything is now OK: I could reconnect and more important install the 
minimals.


Still a problem using TeXworks: the synctex system is not working: 
neither adding -synctex=1 in Preferences or \synctex=1 at the start of 
the tex source.


Synctex appeared only in MikTeX 2.7 by a special (?) instruction in the 
pdftex (?) program.

Is synctex taken into account in context?

Re: [NTG-context] Installing minimals

I am using MarkIV, so the call is not directly to texexec but mtxrun.cmd

In TeXworks the parameters for MarkIV are

Program: mtxrun.cmd
Arguments:
--autogenerate
--script
context
$fullname

and mtxrun.cmd in ..\context\tex\texmaf-mswin\bin is
@echo off
setlocal
set ownpath=%~dp0%
texlua %ownpath%mtxrun.lua %*
endlocal

Should I add --synctex in mtxrun.cmd after texlua.
When I add as argument of the command in TeXworks, it doesn't work.

Thanks for the help!

[NTG-context] Using MetaPost to create fonts

[Alain Delmotte]

Hi!

I have the impression that I did see that MetaPost can be used to create 
full fonts and not only pictures. (In fact to keep the potential of 
METAFONT, but extending it to OpenType /PostScript/TrueType (??) fonts.)

I even think there was mention about Perl in this respect.

Did I dream or not (yes I start to dream about ConTeXt and MetaPost !!!).

Could you point me to the right direction and provide links and/or email 
address of the persons who are involved?

mk is the development history of luatex / mkiv till version 0.50; it 
definitely shows some mkiv trickery but as we're mostly upward 
compatible the wiki might be a better place to start


I like cont-eni.pdf but I'd like to have it as print not to be seen

taco and i are thinking about a solution for providing printed manuals 
at some point


Thanks,

Re: [NTG-context] Fwd: Re: First report on use

[Alain Delmotte]

Hi!

It didn't work.
After starting, an cmd window opened and I got 2 error messages:
Update failed   Error code: 1
Make failed Error code:1

So I keep my present version.

It will not interfere if you uncheck Set env. vars globally option
during installation. Then, it's safe.

 I think the GUI installer is writing in the register and this could
 interfere with the normal MikTeX/(La)TeX/TeXnicCenter system.
 If I understood well when I was at EuroTeX.

 I'll have another look.

 Thanks,

 Alain

 Hello Alan,

 Try GUI Windows installer:

 http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/context-installer/ContextMinimalInstall.exe 




 It should work smoothly

[NTG-context] Documentation

[Alain Delmotte]

Hi!

First, sorry to have sent the previous message twice. I didn't check for 
the sending email, received a bounce, resent to discover it passed to 
the list.


I have downloaded a great part of the documentation (59 files or so).
But if I understood well, there has been big changes between Mark II and 
Mark IV/Lua.

The documentation seems more linked to MkII.

Is mk.pdf the file to use (in conjonction with another?)?

I like cont-eni.pdf but I'd like to have it as print not to be seen on 
screen (old habit of work - or habit of work of old!!)

Hi!

Hello Alain,

looks like you're missing ruby.

I'll do not need Ruby and I think it is not necessary for installations!




You need to install Ruby first (if you want to use pdfTeX or XeTeX).
Fetching files anyway.

As Vyatcheslav said: you're having problems connecting to 
contextgarden's rsync server. Perhaps you are behind a firewall?

I am not and I disabled all programs which could interfere.

But never mind (except for updating and for the general problem to have 
an installer working for everybody).


Thanks,

Alain

[NTG-context] First report on use

[Alain Delmotte]

Hi!

After discovering some details of ConTeXt during EuroTeX2009 I decided 
to try it.


First problem, already encountered during EuroTeX: installation.
On both of my machines the installation of the minimals failed.
See attached file.
For example: lines 13-14 rsync error, but at lines 26-30 it looks like 
it works, just a moment: after 30-35 I get 36-37 = error again.

On lines 77-80 there is another type of error.

But I installed ConTeXt from a copy of what Mari had on her portable 
(this brings other questions, later); so it works for now.


But still in the error file, looking at lines 97-98 and 99-100, for 
example, what is the installation program changing in my mikTeX 
installation?


---
Now for the working installation.
1) As it was taken from Mari machine, isn't there possible problems with 
parameters from her machine which are not the same on mine?

2) How can update and/or create new formats?

I am using ConTeXt with TeXworks; I did install a full copy of TeXworks 
(programs and dlls) in 
C:\Programmes\ConTeXt\texmf-context\context\data\texworks and I issue 
the setuptex.bat command before to start the ConTeXt TeXworks. (You can 
see that I installed ConTeXt in a folder without spaces in the name: 
C:\Programmes\ConTeXt\.)


I am only using Mark IV, following the suggestion of Hans (for French,...)
So I didn't install Ruby.

OK the next questions will be about documentation, in another message.

Thanks very much for ConTeXt (and again for EuroTeX2009 - it was very good).

Regards,

Alain

Hi!

I unintentionally moved the mouse which sent the message, again with the 
wrong sender!


So Which documentation should I use to start?
