[NTG-context] streams reversed?
I am making some progress with a bilingual text using the streams
mechanism suggested by Wolfgang: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Columns,
but see below.
The aim has been to have en and vi on facing pages (en left, vi right).
It works correctly for the Foreword in two languages (en, vi) in
frontmatter.
When I come to bodymatter and Chapter 1, again it works, except that the
positions of the languages are reversed, so I end up with vi on the left
and en on the right. By Chapter 2 we are back to the correct position
once more (en left and vi right).
I want to know why this is happening, and if I can prevent it happening.
I am using the code you can see below, except that instead of
\startoutputstream[one] and \startoutputstream[two] etc. I am using
[en-front][vi-front], and then in bodymatter [en-chap1][vi-chap1] etc.
etc. with the relevant repetitions of these identifiers where needed. I
assume that to get a degree of synchronization I need to use this
approach for each set of chapters. But I cannot understand why the
languages alternate their starting page positions each chapter.
There are other issues I have to solve, but first of all I wish to
resolve this one.
Julian
The original (Wolfgang) code is as follows:
\starttext
\startoutputstream[one]
\startcolor[red]
\dorecurse{10}{\input knuth\par}
\stopcolor
\stopoutputstream
\startoutputstream[two]
\startcolor[green]
\dorecurse{10}{\input zapf\par}
\stopcolor
\stopoutputstream
\synchronizestreams[one,two]
\setbox\scratchboxone\outputstreambox[one]
\setbox\scratchboxtwo\outputstreambox[two]
\doloop
{\ifvoid\scratchboxone
\exitloop
\else
\setbox\scratchboxfour\vsplit\scratchboxone to\textheight
\vbox to\vsize{\box\scratchboxfour\vss}%
\setbox\scratchboxfive\vsplit\scratchboxtwo to\textheight
\vbox to\vsize{\box\scratchboxfive\vss}%
\fi}
\stoptext

[NTG-context] streams not working?
Hi there,
I'm trying to get some poems in a bilingual document using streams.
According to the wiki (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Columns#Streams),
this example should work:
\usemodule[streams]
\def\StartCouple{\page\SwitchToNormal}
\def\StopCouple{\SwitchToNormal\SynchronizeLeftAndRight\FlushLeftAndRight}
\def\Original{\SwitchToNormal\SynchronizeLeftAndRight\SwitchToLeft}
\def\Translation{\SwitchToRight}
\starttext
\StartCouple
\Original\en
Are you sleeping, brother John?
\Translation\de
Bruder Jakob, schläfst du noch?
\StopCouple
\stottext
But I get this error:
l.19 \defineoutputstream
[\v!left]
! == Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!
mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 1
Compilation failed.
The example at http://source.contextgarden.net/m-streams.tex (referenced
by the wiki page) doesn't work for me either. This is all Greek to me.
What am I missing here?
Thanks for your help,
Pablo

[NTG-context] Streams
Hi, I was looking for a possibility to typeset an article left in the original language and right in the translation.I found then the mail of Thomas, when he announced the availability of streams (2006). - Great, that is what I am looking for! However when issuing \usemodule[streams] I get immediately a fatal error: undefined controlsequence. I believe is \defineoutputstream.

You don’t need the mode for MkIV. Below is a example copied from the source:

Re: [NTG-context] Streams
Hi Wolfgang,
thank you for your answer!
Aha, mkiv does not need the module.
So I tried first the example en then used my actual document. - It runs through
indeed!
Now there is still the question whether it is possible to place e.g. on the
left page German text and in parallel on the right page Dutch text?
Have a nice evening!

[NTG-context] Streams in two columns
I'm trying to typeset English and German texts in two columns.
With the following example every bilingual section goes on a new
page. How can I avoid that?
(Using only columns instead of columnsets I get single-section
pages with alternating languages.)
%% setup
\definecolumnset[twocol][n=2]
\setuphead[chapter][page=no, number=no, align=right]
\usemodule[streams]
% example from the streams module
% only enhanced by columnset
\def\StartCouple{\page\startcolumnset[twocol]\SwitchToNormal}
\def\StopCouple {\SwitchToNormal \SynchronizeLeftAndRight
\FlushLeftAndRight\stopcolumnset}
\def\Original {\SwitchToNormal\SynchronizeLeftAndRight\SwitchToLeft}
\def\Translation{\SwitchToRight}
%% text snippet

Zum 50. Jahrestag der Unterzeichnung der Römischen Verträge der
Europäischen Union hat die European Humanist Federation am 25. März
2007 die Brüsseler Erklärung veröffentlicht. Hierin wird nochmals
bekräftigt, dass Europa auf einer Vielzahl von Kulturen und
Traditionen beruht, und seine Bürger der Geschichtsklitterung vom
christlichen Abendland entgegenwirken müssen.

At the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Rome treaties which
established the European Union the European Humanist Federation
published the Brussels declaration. It affirms once more Europe’s
foundation to consist of many cultures and traditions and reminds its
citizens to work against the biased historical account of the
Christian occident.

[NTG-context] Streams ignore textwidth
Hi,
In streams width=whatever only sets the width of the bounding box, the
text still goes until \textwidth. Is this a bug or a feature? A work
around is to use setups:stream:settings, but it is a bit clumsy.
See the differece between the two streams below.
\usemodule[streams]
\definestreamlayer[flash][width=3in]
\definestreamlayer[model][width=3in]
\startsetups streamlayer:flash:settings
\hsize=3in
\stopsetups
\starttext
\startstreamlayer[flash]
\input tufte
\stopstreamlayer
\startstreamlayer[model]
\input tufte
\stopstreamlayer
\framed[sturt=no]{\placestreamlayer[flash]}
\framed[sturt=no]{\placestreamlayer[model]}
