[NTG-context] ANNOUNCEMENT: Notepad++ for ConTeXt - Version 0.98
Dear ConTeXt gang, A continuing desideratum for ConTeXt is a user-friendly writing and editing environment, where the range of application of the category “user-friendly” includes especially non-experts in programming or software development. The lack of such an environment is one factor that inhibits the wider use of ConTeXt. Despite its immense power, precision, and flexibility: At present it is not generally feasible for instructors and researchers in, e.g., the humanities to assign the use of ConTeXt to students, or to use it to collaborate on projects. In addition, the first author (Idris) especially required a ConTeXt editor with, among other features, bidirectional capabilities to serve both academic writing as well as the needs of the Oriental TeX project, including the Zahrāʾ (aka Husayni) typeface system under current development. In the course of an ongoing effort to address these lacunae, in 2017 a project to develop a set of utilities for the Windows editor Notepad++ was launched. After months of development and testing, Luigi and I are proud to present to the ConTeXt community Notepad++ for ConTeXt: Lexer and Macro Utilities for editing ConTeXt Documents Version 0.98 This package includes I. A plugin for Notepad++ that implements, for the ConTeXt document processing system, i) a language lexer for semantic highlighting of TeX, LuaTeX, and ConTeXt commands; ii) autocompletion of commands with full support for calltips (set in columns); iii) tagging and insertion of markup and templates, with support for mnemonic keys. II. A color scheme and two complementary Notepad++ themes: Silver Twilight Hi and Silver Twilight Lo. Notepad++ for ConTeXt is available here: https://github.com/luigiScarso/context-npp https://github.com/luigiScarso/context-npp/blob/master/install/Npp-for-ConTeXt.zip as well as here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/File:Npp-for-ConTeXt.zip For a future TeXLive DVD: The package will be available under texmf-dist/context/data/npp/context The complete manual for Notepad++ ConTeXt, along with its TeX sources, may be found in the following directory of the zip: /Npp-for-ConTeXt/doc/npp-context-manual.pdf It may also be downloaded here: https://github.com/luigiScarso/context-npp/tree/master/doc The README follows this announcement. NOTA BENE: The old wiki page http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Notepad++ is currently obsolete and needs to be updated in its entirety. Further development is planned beyond this initial release. We warmly welcome and look forward to feedback and suggestions for improvement from the ConTeXt community!

Original C++ plugin and lexer development was done by Dr. Jason Wu (Colorado State University). Project vision and development planning (as well as the two themes and color scheme) are by Professor Idris Samawi Hamid (Colorado State University). The Notepad++ for ConTeXt lexer is strongly influence by the plugin WebEdit by Alexander Iljin: https://sourceforge.net/projects/npp-plugins/files/WebEdit/ This plugin aims to support the editing of ConTeXt documents in a number of ways.

Just a few comments on your code.
Many thanks for your comments, Wolfgang. I really appreciate your help.
Many thanks for all the improvements. The original code only shows my
ignorance related to ConTeXt matters :-).
5. Use \define[2]\... or \unexpanded\def\... to create your \href command.
Sorry, but I don’t get it. Why do I need expansion when having more than
one arguments?
BTW, it isn’t clear to me what expansion may be.
6. ConTeXt already has a \url command.
To avoid name clashes, I replaced the command with \mypersonalurl.
7. Your \url command has two font changes (\tt and \hw) and one should
be removed.
Yes, but this is the workaround that came to my mind to solve the
following scenario: I may want to a special mono typeface only for urls.
This mono typeface would be different from the general mono font.
The problem when using \setupbodyfont or \switchtobodyfont is that it
doesn’t work with other sizes than the default one.
This sample shows the issue:
\definefontfamily
[anothermono]
[ss]
[DejaVu Sans Mono]
\starttext
\tfxx smaller text with \anothermono\ss second mono.
\stoptext
Either I define the handwriting or calligraphy font for the same font
family, or I get wrong sizes when using other than the default.
Is this a bug or is my approach wrong?
BTW, if you allow me a question, I’d be very interested in setting up a
\hiddentitle that adds no extra vertical space (I need the \hiddentitle
to be displayed in the PDF bookmarks).
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\placebookmarks[chapter,hiddentitle]
\definehead[hiddentitle][chapter]
\setuphead
[hiddentitle]
[placehead=empty,
incrementnumber=list,
number=no,
before=,
after=]
\starttext
\completecontent
\startmakeup[copyright][top=]
\hiddentitle{[Copyright]}
This document is released to the public...
\stopmakeup
\chapter{Foreword}
aa
\chapter{Introduction}
\stoptext
I need to have no space inserted by \hiddentitle. Otherwise, vertical
spacing in makeups won’t work.

Dear list,
this is a bit weird, because the vast majority of the list members are
way forward in the path of ConTeXt knowledge than myself.
But just in case you were interested, I created an environment to
typeset XHTML generated by pandoc with ConTeXt MkIV.
Here you have the websites:
http://www.from-pandoc-to-context.tk
https://github.com/ousia/from-pandoc-to-context
Just a few comments on your code.
1. When you use \vfill at the begin of a makeup environment you don’t
need \mbox and a ConTeXt user would use \dontleavehmode instead of \mbox.
2. To create a language dependant header for the TOC etc. you can use
the \headtext command, e.g.
\title{\headtext{content}}
\placelist[part,chapter]
3. Be careful when you use _ in command names, e.g. \TOC_Title because
it your case you created the command \TOC followed by the string “_Title”.
4. Better use \crlf to force a line break for the br/ tag because \\
can produce different results depending in the environment.
5. Use \define[2]\... or \unexpanded\def\... to create your \href command.
6. ConTeXt already has a \url command.
7. Your \url command has two font changes (\tt and \hw) and one should

I have been building binaries for kfreebsd 64bit and 32bit systems (as well as both freebsd and linux binaries). However, we do not believe that anyone is downloading and using these binaries. Unless someone asks that we continue to provide kfreebsd binaries, we intend on dropping support for them in the Context standalone distribution. We shall continue providing both freebsd and linux binaries. Alan P.S. linux binaries typically suffer from glibc compatibility issues. We attempt to build them on systems that are old enough (read outdated) so that they will work for all users. Freebsd does not suffer from such issues, but kfreebsd binaries do to some extent, making its support slightly more complicated. ___ 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://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
[NTG-context] ANNOUNCEMENT: Arabic-Latin Modern Fixed
[This announcement is dedicated to the 110% recovery and return of our visionary and fearless leader Hans Hagen: Three cheers to you, Hans!!!] Dear gang, It's my pleasure to announce the release of Arabic-Latin Modern Fixed, a monospaced font that extends TeX-Gyre Latin Modern Mono 10 Regular. It has been uploaded to CTAN, although I do not know how long it will take for the CTAN people to approve and publish it. Eventually it will make it's way into the ConTeXt minimals as well. Until then, you may use this private link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pulgaxshzr5bcmy/almfixed.zip README.txt is reproduced below. Future plans include both bold and proportional versions. Enjoy and Best wishes Idris -- Idris Samawi Hamid Professor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523 ==README.txt== Typeface Family: Arabic-Latin Modern Font: Arabic-Latin Modern Fixed Style: Regular Version: 0.92 Author: Idris Samawi Hamid Date: August 5, 2014 License: Arabic-Latin Modern Fixed is licensed under the GUST Font License with one important adjustment: It is requested, as well as legally *required*, that derived works be distributed only after changing the names of the fonts comprising this work. http://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry/licenses/GUST-FONT-LICENSE.txt/view Contains: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/doc/almfixed-dtk.pdf http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/ps; http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/tt; Some notes, in no particular order: 1. For more extensive documentation, examples, and background; see almfixed-dtk.pdf. 2. The final version number (per any future fixes, maintenance etc.) is intended to be Version 1.10. 3. Arabic-Latin Modern Fixed is an extension of TeX-Gyre Latin Modern Mono 10 Regular. Every glyph and opentype feature of the Latin Modern Mono has been retained, with minor improvements. On the other hand, we have changed the vertical metrics of the font. Although the Arabic script is designed to use the same x-size as Latin Modern Mono, the former script needs greater ascender and descender space. And there are cases (such as certain kinds of academic assignment and definitely mixed Latin and Arabic text) where Latin can use the extra vertical space as well. Otherwise, only the vertical metrics prevents this from being a drop-in replacement for Latin Modern Mono . Of course one can always set the vertical metrics in TeX to match LM Mono. 4. Every Arabic glyph in each Unicode-code block is supported (up to Unicode 7.0): Arabic, Arabic Supplement, Arabic Extended, Arabic Presentation-Forms A, and Arabic Presentation-Forms B. 5. This is a totally original design, using the Knuthian letters as inspiration. Indeed, virtually all Arabic characters were developed on the foundation of a study of the Latin Modern Mono letters 'l', 'r', and 'c'. In other words, this is a genuine extension of the original Knuthian design to an authentic and culturally authentic Arabic typing font. 6. There are two versions of the font: ps and tt. The Type~1 version is for print applications (and usually the default for TeX). The TrueType version is for on-screen applications such as text editors. Hinting in the tt version is much better for on-screen, at least on Microsoft Windows. 7. The most unique feature of Arabic-Latin Modern is in its treatment of vowels and diacritics. Each vowel and diacritic (ALM Fixed contains a total of 68 such glyphs) can now be edited horizontally within any text editor or processor. I believe this is the very first opentype Arabic font ever to have this capability. Editing complex Arabic texts will now be much easier to input and to proofread. 8. At least 12 additional format characters are included; see almfixed-dtk.pdf for details. Also designed a glyph representation for U+00A0 (no-break space), as well as U+25CC (dotted circle). 9. Arabic-Latin Modern Mono will be a boon to scholars, academics, coder editors, and anyone who wants to manage the entry of the wide array of Unicode Arabic text for editing, verbatim, or other purposes. == ___ 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://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

Yes, not an easy task. a lot depends on proper coding ... typesetting parallel texts is not per se the same as multiple streams ... it all depends on what one wants to achieve Like I had said in my post, a critical editions is a special case of parallel texts. How the different versions are brought together is a different matter. That one can have the texts in different files and bringing them together. Also, one way of looking at a two page layout is to assmune a multicolumn layout of a page that is 2 pages wide and 1 page high. After the columns have been layout, rearrange the columns onto the proper page size. That is the approriate boxes! I do not how difficult this would be. also, if 1 page is used then we should not limit to 2 pages (or columns) in parallel Like I said above there are approaches which facilitate a modular layout. True enough, this is not necessarily a TeX way of approaching the problem, yet should help to make the process as automated as possible. True enough that such an approach is not efficient, yet get the job done. I believe a modular approach should be chosen. It allows for the best possible flexibility and using the parallel text for the low-level typeset gives the author the best way of laying out the critical edition, instead of just putting simply texts next to each. That would not be academically sensible, because creating a critical edition is far far more! I agree that it is hard to automate the synchronization of text passages. The only viable approach would be at the paragraph level. A line level approach can only be achieved by interaction of the author of the critical edition with synchronization marks of some sort inside the editions. indeed. one cannot have the best of all worlds (perfect justification, perfect note handling, perfect synchronization) because the solition space gets too small (one thing Thomas and I discussed shortly is more advanced pdf's with more embedded info and so ... something for later) we also need to look into ebook like things ... This is something quite different an IMHO can be done relatively easily and lots of coding by creating commands for proper ebook production (mainly HTML 5 for epub and mobi output) and mapping those commands back to the ConTeXt commands for the production of pdfs if needed. Early, in my education in Computer Linguistics, decades ago, we had project where we wrote a program for entry of critical editions. The editions/texts and comments were entered in parallel on the tty-terminal screen and stored in a database. At that time we where no interested in fancy output and used a simple stacked output. As you probably know yourself, it is the entry and synchronization of the editions that is the problem an not as much the layout itself, though that is hard enough by itself. I do not see any way to do this in a normal linear single pass process. The question is in how far ConTeXt can support this task. ... time, motivation, etc ... I have just a brain stormed possible starting point. It as you can see it has quite some felixiblity as to how the texts is entered and ConTeXt does some rearranging during typesetting. One type of critical edition we have not discussed is when the author whats to work on a word basis. But, that is even a bigger can of worms for collating the data/texts. Most of what I have describe it probably obvious to you, yet well, keep collecting demands and examples ... best that we know what is needed (and by how many people, for how many years to come, as it makes no sense to develop code that is used once and then discarded because one moves to newer technologies) ... we also need to keep in mind that this kind of things are author driven as publishers are not paying for this kind of things nor willing to invest / support development of tools (if they are interested in anything else than 25-50% profits at all). Critical editions are very special and not that wide spread. Why do you think that there are not any very useful tools out in the wild. They are almost always coming from the Humanities and such authors are generally that computer savvy or versed in TeX let alone xml. That is why I strongly suggest using a modular approach, with a simplistic interface as possible. Most that are looking for tools in ConTeXt will say well if I have to learn that much first forget it.

I have to strongly disagree with you here. A critical edition is only a
specialized case of parallel texts! You two or more editions that are
contrasted/compared to each other.
Naturally, it must be bibliographically annotated and there are the comments of
the author of the critical edition.
The editions have to be typeset in parallel. There are many ways how an author
can lay this out. In the far past it was common just to stack the contrasted
versions on top of
each other! Very very ugly. Lots of examples in libraries. More recent ways are
to use column. Yet, the more editions involved the harder it is to place on one
page. For such cases
it would be best to spread them across two facing pages.
The problem with the two page setup is synchronizing the comments, notes,
discussion of the critical edition's author. For a half way pleasing layout
these should interplaced between the contrasted editions across the two pages.
Yes, not an easy task.
I agree that it is hard to automate the synchronization of text passages. The
only viable approach would be at the paragraph level. A line level approach can
only be achieved by
interaction of the author of the critical edition with synchronization marks of
some sort inside the editions.

As you probably know yourself, it is the entry and synchronization of the
editions that is the problem an not as much the layout itself, though that is
hard enough by itself.
I do not see any way to do this in a normal linear single pass process. The
question is in how far ConTeXt can support this task.
1) provide possibilities of laying out the texts synchronized in columns,
stacks and two page layouts. Footnotes, under, columns, pages or across
either. Another, nice feature would be the availability of marginals in
a synchronized way.
This should be a generalized module or set of commands as it
can be used in many other fields be critical editions.
In other words a parallel texts layout package:
\defineparalleltextlayout[name][…]

I would suggest that this be done mostly on the Lua side as you
can then develop a database of sorts and worry about
the layout/typesetting of the critical edition later.

In the end, I wasn't convinced that an entirely automated version was possible at all. (2) I'm afraid that's not part of the present project and is related neither to critical editions nor to bibliographies. I have to strongly disagree with you here. A critical edition is only a specialized case of parallel texts! You two or more editions that are contrasted/compared to each other. Naturally, it must be bibliographically annotated and there are the comments of the author of the critical edition. The editions have to be typeset in parallel. There are many ways how an author can lay this out. In the far past it was common just to stack the contrasted versions on top of each other! Very very ugly. Lots of examples in libraries. More recent ways are to use column. Yet, the more editions involved the harder it is to place on one page. For such cases it would be best to spread them across two facing pages. The problem with the two page setup is synchronizing the comments, notes, discussion of the critical edition's author. For a half way pleasing layout these should interplaced between the contrasted editions across the two pages. Yes, not an easy task. a lot depends on proper coding ... typesetting parallel texts is not per se the same as multiple streams ... it all depends on what one wants to achieve also, if 1 page is used then we should not limit to 2 pages (or columns) in parallel I agree that it is hard to automate the synchronization of text passages. The only viable approach would be at the paragraph level. A line level approach can only be achieved by interaction of the author of the critical edition with synchronization marks of some sort inside the editions. indeed. one cannot have the best of all worlds (perfect justification, perfect note handling, perfect synchronization) because the solition space gets too small (one thing Thomas and I discussed shortly is more advanced pdf's with more embedded info and so ... something for later) we also need to look into ebook like things ... Early, in my education in Computer Linguistics, decades ago, we had project where we wrote a program for entry of critical editions. The editions/texts and comments were entered in parallel on the tty-terminal screen and stored in a database. At that time we where no interested in fancy output and used a simple stacked output. As you probably know yourself, it is the entry and synchronization of the editions that is the problem an not as much the layout itself, though that is hard enough by itself. I do not see any way to do this in a normal linear single pass process. The question is in how far ConTeXt can support this task. ... time, motivation, etc ... I have just a brain stormed possible starting point. It as you can see it has quite some felixiblity as to how the texts is entered and ConTeXt does some rearranging during typesetting. One type of critical edition we have not discussed is when the author whats to work on a word basis. But, that is even a bigger can of worms for collating the data/texts. Most of what I have describe it probably obvious to you, yet well, keep collecting demands and examples ... best that we know what is needed (and by how many people, for how many years to come, as it makes no sense to develop code that is used once and then discarded because one moves to newer technologies) ... we also need to keep in mind that this kind of things are author driven as publishers are not paying for this kind of things nor willing to invest / support development of tools (if they are interested in anything else than 25-50% profits at all).

[NTG-context] announcement and call
Dear list, today, I have an announcement to make and a call for contributions. We have obtained a medium-sized grant at my university to further development of ConTeXt. Specifically, our project wants to facilitate typesetting critical editions after the TEI xml standard and bibliographical data. Luigi will be employed as a full-time developer for the next 6 months (he signed his contract today); Hans will coordinate the work flow. So this is good news. Now for the call for contributions: we invite you to send in examples in those two areas (critical editions, i.e. linenotes cum suis, and bibliographical data, aka bib-module) which show where ConTeXt could be developed. So please send examples to the list that show limitations or bugs, ask for new features, etc. If you want new features in the bibliography department, please do not send vague requests (it would be nice if we could have hungarian reference systems) but small examples which show a precise feature and a possible syntax for it. Of course, I can't promise that we will be able to act on all your submissions, but I'm optimistic that this project will make our favorite software better!

There will be a repository (svn or so) on a dedicated machine at Thomas' faculty. Among the direct context related things are - a rewrite of bib modules (partially already done) - extensions to the (line)note mechanisms etc - the ability to plug in a bib processor (bibtex, mlbibtex, whatever we like) I'll probably start with that next month. There might be other new things showing up, and we might also look at some pending luatex opening op that relate to our problems. One thing that will also be done, is document the reasonable subset of tei for doing the kind of things Thomas does so we're talking of pure tex approaches alongside context-xml driven workflows.

Re: [NTG-context] announcement: new texlive rpm
Peter, there is a new texlive rpm on http://pmrb.free.fr/texlive/ - easy installation: rpmbuild --rebuild --force http://pmrb.free.fr/texlive/texlive.spm Here rpm segfaults using that rebuild command (using rpm 4.4.1 on Ubuntu/i386). I tried to compile the latest version of rpm from source, in order to check whether the bug had been fixed, but couldn't get the recompilation to work. So I never managed to try your rpm package. It seems it's a real rpm bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=227333 -Sanjoy `A nation of slaves is always prepared to applaud the clemency of their master who, in the abuse of absolute power, does not proceed to the last extremes of injustice and oppression.'

Hello Sanjoy, I've never had such a problem, but my rpm versions are much older... What happens, if you do cd /tmp wget http://pmrb.free.fr/texlive/texlive.nosrc.rpm rpmbuild --rebuild --force /tmp/texlive.nosrc.rpm ? Or yet another possibility: cd /tmp wget http://pmrb.free.fr/texlive/texlive.nosrc.rpm rpm -i /tmp/texlive.nosrc.rpm rpmbuild -bb --force /usr/src/packages/SPECS/texlive.spec It seems it's a real rpm bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=227333 (As suggested on this page, I renamed the texlive.spm to texlive.nosrc.rpm) Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/ ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

[NTG-context] Announcement: texutil.c
Hi all, Not sure if any of you consider this useful, but: I have created a C port of the perl script texutil from the ConTeXt distribution. The Makefile supports two different targets: with and without direct linking to the kpathsea path search library (default is standalone). License: GPL version 2 (for the kpathsea version), or the ConTeXt license as defined in mreadme.pdf (for the standalone version) Index key remapping and perl module plugins are not supported (both features are actually unused in the current distribution of ConTeXt). All other differences from the 'standard' texutil are bugs, and even though I give no warranty whatsoever, I would still like to know about those so that I can fix the source. (17 mar 2004, based on texutil.pl 8.2) Downloal is available from http://tex.aanhet.net/context/texutil/texutil.htm Greetings, Taco ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
