[NTG-context] newbie question about xml
It would be wonderful if I could find an easy way to translate my ConTeXt source-files to html. So I was wondering if going via xml would be a viable method. Unofrtunately, I know next to nothing about xml. I played a bit with Emacs nxml mode and tried to understand xml in context, but a couple of stupid questions remain: 1) even with specialized tools like onyx or Emacs xml mode, will writing these source files ever be as easy as writing TeX-source? Is it worth the extra effort? 2) Can anybody point me to an example document written in xml that can be processed by ConTeXt? 3) If I understand xml in context correctly, one has to specify quite a few of the xml commands in a dtd so ConTeXt understands them. I had a look at x-contml.tex to see what such definitions should look like. So I wonder: if I have to tell ConTeXt about these commands anyway, wouldn't it be easier to simply write a perl script that does these conversions and translates TeX into xml? Sorry if these are dumb questions, but these are my very first attempt at xml. All best Thomas ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
Re: [NTG-context] newbie question about xml
It would be wonderful if I could find an easy way to translate my ConTeXt source-files to html. So I was wondering if going via xml would XML in Context is designed for those who plan to set up an XML workflow, and need PDF output. Certainly I use example, but as part of existing workflow starting from XML source. I use XSLT to produce HTML, and Context offers no help here. There was some discussion on this list about adapting T4Ht for Context before Christmas, so check the mailing list. 3) If I understand xml in context correctly, one has to specify quite a few of the xml commands in a dtd so ConTeXt understands them. I had a Use a header file with your example commands in it. A DTD is used for parsing XML, and is really if different ball-game.

[NTG-context] strange dependency between cbox and whitespace?
Hi all!
I came across the following behaviour: cboxes seem to suppress white
space in certain conditions.
In the following example there is no whitespace output between paragraph
no. 2 und 3. Yet, if I change \setupwhitespace to 'none' or if I do not
enclose the paragraphs in cboxes then the whitespaces between the
paragraphs appear as expected.
Does anyone know a workaround for this 'strange' behaviour of cboxes?
Thanks for your attention,
--Stefan
\setupoutput[pdftex]
\setupinteraction[openaction={firstpage,FitHeight},state=start]
\setupwhitespace[small]
\setupblank[100pt]
\def\Para#1{\cbox{#1 \dorecurse{10}{this is some paragraph text}}\par}
\starttext
\Para{1}
\blank[big]
\Para{2}
\blank[medium]

Re: [NTG-context] t-nath difficulty
Furthermore: in
\usemodule[nath]
\starttext
$ y = (1 + \frac{}{a}{b}) $
$ y = (1 + \frac{a}{b}) $
$ y = (1 + a\frac{b}{c}{d})$
$$ y = (1 + \frac{}{a}{b}) $$
$$ y = (1 + \frac{a}{b}) $$
$$ y = (1 + a\frac{b}{c}{d})$$
\stoptext
The displayed equation is correct, but the inline isn't.I'm probing this
in my spare time.

Hi friends,
there are for sure more sophisticated and more urgent problems,
but my question to me is really a big problem.
Isn't there anybody that knows a command or a work-around that could help?
Hm, for some time there is a secret feature in cont-new.tex which i still
have to finish:
\starttext
\start
\setupparagraphintro[reset,first][\hangafter-2 \hangindent2em FIRST]
\input ward \blank \input ward \blank
\input ward \blank \input ward \blank
\stop
\page
\start
\setupparagraphintro[reset,next][\hangafter-2 \hangindent2em NEXT]
\input ward \blank \input ward \blank
\input ward \blank \input ward \blank
\stop
\page
\start
\setupparagraphintro[reset,each][\hangafter-2 \hangindent2em EACH]
\input ward \blank \input ward \blank
\input ward \blank \input ward \blank
\stop
\stoptext
The next option only works when you have the following patch in
cont-new.tex (Search for original):
\def\dosetupparagraphintro[#1][#2]%
{\processallactionsinset
[#1]
[ \v!reset=\global\chardef\everyparagraphintro\zerocount
\global\everyfirstparagraphintro\emptytoks

either in typewriter or in math font. We had a discussion about similar

solution than \getglyph{Serif}{123} and
\getglyph{Serif}{125} vel.
sim. For those of us working in the humanities, these curly braces are
sometimes necessary (e.g., in critical editions), and having them in
typewriter or math fonts isn't acceptable. So may I continue my rally
for \{ etc.?
Sorry for the delay. \textbraceleft and \textbraceright should
work ok if encodings are set up correctly.

Re: [NTG-context] blank page in doublesided mode
Is there a manual or the like that I have missed which documents this
command, \installpagebreakhandler, and others such as \useURL and
\setupinteraction? (I am interested in the latter, because inserting
a blue, underlined URL for email in my output has curiously enough
turned by footnote numbers blue.)
no, these commands are not in a manual, but one can find them in the
source code; the \install.. ones are real low level; the
\definepagebreak[whatever][yes] one is public.
Regarding the rest (some hints to play with):
\useURL [context] [http://www.pragma-ade.com]
\goto{Pragma ADE}[URL(context)]
\setupinteraction
[state=start,
color=black,
style={\tf\underbars}]
\setupunderbar[alternative=c, rulecolor=blue] % underdots
Footnote numbers are interaction links, too. I don't know how to handle
them different.
But you can switch off footnote interaction somehow AFAIK.

[NTG-context] Unicode garbage in table of contents
