[NTG-context] brace error after a \placefigure

[Sanjoy Mahajan]

I can't figure out what causes the brace error with this test.tex
example file:

\starttext
\placefigure[margin]{A caption}{\externalfigure[]}

{test}.
\stoptext

$ texexec test
  [...]
  ! Too many }'s.
  l.4 {test}
.
  ? H
  You've closed more groups than you opened.
  Such booboos are generally harmless, so keep going.

If I change 

{test}.

to

The {test}.

then it compiles fine.

Hello,
Where can I find the list of all keywords recognized by the \but command
to set up interaction?
(Honest, I searched the manual!)

Re: [NTG-context] about texmfstart

[Dalyoung]

Dear Aditya,

I did what you told me,

set RUBYLIB=/texmf.local/scripts/context/ruby
export $RUBYLIB

But there is no change in the output of "texmfstart --verbose texexec".

I copied texexec.rb in the home directory, then I got

~ mac$ texmfstart --verbose texexec
texmfstart version 1.8.6
expanding 'texexec' to 'texexec.rb'
locating 'texexec.rb' in current path '.'
registering 'texexec' as '/Users/mac/texexec.rb'
'texexec.rb' located in current path
registering 'THREAD' as '/Users/mac'
starting texexec
using 'system' call: ruby /Users/mac/texexec.rb
/Users/mac/texexec.rb:10:in `require': No such file to load -- base/ 
switch (LoadError)
 from /Users/mac/texexec.rb:10

According to this message, it locate texexec.rb. However, the commnad

texmfstart texexec --make en

did nothing but only a message like this.

/Users/mac/texexec.rb:10:in `require': No such file to load -- base/ 
switch (LoadError)
 from /Users/mac/texexec.rb:10

Would you please tell me what I have to do more?

Thank you for reading.

[NTG-context] bibdemo.tex example needs a few defs

[Sanjoy Mahajan]

The bibdemo.tex example on the Wiki
 fails with complaints about
\newcommand being undefined.  The problem is that xampl.bib (which here
is /usr/share/texmf-tetex/bibtex/bib/base/xampl.bib on this teTeX 3.0
distribution) has this:

@preamble{ "\newcommand{\noopsort}[1]{} "
# "\newcommand{\printfirst}[2]{#1} "
# "\newcommand{\singleletter}[1]{#1} "
# "\newcommand{\switchargs}[2]{#2#1} " }

So bibtex puts those LaTeX commands at the top of the .bbl file, and
ConTeXt doesn't know about \newcommand.  A temporary workaround is to
define those commands by hand (see below).  A better workaround is to
define \newcommand.  latex.ltx has a long and involved one, but maybe
there's a nicer ConTeXt way?

Meanwhile, the following example works (context version 2006.04.17 23:14):

\usemodule[bib]
\def\newcommand#1[#2]#3{}
\newcommand{\noopsort}[1]{}
\def\noopsort#1{}
\def\printfirst#1#2{#1}
\def\singleletter#1{#1}
\def\switchargs#1#2{#2#1}
\setupbibtex[database=xampl]
\starttext
As \cite[article-full] already indicated, bibtex is a \LaTeX-centric program.
\completepublications
\stoptext

I'll put this version on the wiki, if there's no clean solution (unless
I've missed an easy fix to the \newcommand problem).

Yes, strange. Looks like a grouping issue around this in page-flt:

\ifmargeblokken % waarschijnlijk gebroken ! ! ! !
  \doifinset\v!margin{#2}
{\endgraf
 \bgroup\everypar{\egroup\the\everypar}%
 \hsize\@@mbwidth}%
\fi

inmargin seems to work, but i don't know if it should do the same thing.

Thanks; but let me be more precise about what I'm looking for:
in the demo file d-en-all I see this:

\startinteractionmenu[right]
  \but [content]   contents \\
  \but [sample]sample   \\
  \but [PreviousJump]  back \\
  \but [CloseDocument] exit \\
  \vfill
\stopinteractionmenu

So I wonder, is there some place where the list of all terms like
"PreviousJump" are defined (I suppose they are defined somewhere as I
don't see their definition in this file)?

It appears they are defined in

slightly more than halfway down.

I think, I must have made a mistake somewhere, since I cannot reproduce
this behaviour.

But there is another problem with the following test file:

%%% This needed to get upright \textmu:
\setupencoding[default=texnansi]
\usetypescript[modern-base][\defaultencoding]
\setupbodyfont[modern]
%%%
\starttext
bla and \textmu
\stoptext

When running "texexec --dvi test", the output of dvips is
This is dvips(k) 5.95a Copyright 2005 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com)
' TeX output 2006.05.13:1508' -> test.ps
. [1] 
and the PostScript page is completely empty (blanc).

When running "dvips -u +original-base -u +ec-public-lm -u +ec-base -u
+8r-base -u +t5-base -u +original-ams-base -u +original-ams-euler -u
+original-public-lm -u +texnansi-base -u +texnansi-public-lm test" (same
command is used by texexec), the output of dvips is
This is dvips(k) 5.95a Copyright 2005 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com)
' TeX output 2006.05.13:1510' -> test.ps
. [1] 
and the PostScript file has an ugly font and nothing for \textmu.

When running "dvips test", the output of dvips is
This is dvips(k) 5.95a Copyright 2005 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com)
' TeX output 2006.05.13:1510' -> test.ps
. [1] 
and the PostScript file is ok.

So here my questions:
- Why does texexec use these options for dvips?
- Where can I tell texexec to use just "dvips" without options?
- Why is there a difference between running dvips by texexec or by command
  line, does texexec modify perhaps the environment?
- Why do I have this behaviour only with texnansi but not with ec encoding?

Cheers, Peter

I've just seen, that there are a lot of symbolic links in the teTeX
installation to /opt/teTeX/bin/texexec, so please forget my advice above.
Now I'm doing it like this:
- keep the link for texmfstart
- copy these 3 lines into /usr/local/bin/texexec:
#!/bin/sh
export RUBYLIB=/opt/teTeX/texmf-context/scripts/context/ruby
exec texmfstart `basename $0` "$@"
- /usr/local/bin must come before the /opt/teTeX/bin in your PATH
- in /usr/local/bin you can create other symbolic links to texexec, for
  example texutil and texsync

[NTG-context] \startbackmatter requires \chapter to get bibliography?

[Sanjoy Mahajan]

I just noticed the following behavior of \startbackmatter: A
\placepublications needs a \chapter{...} before it, otherwise no
bibliography is generated (i.e. p.2 is empty).  Consistent with that
behavior, \completepublications works fine without needing a \chapter
beforehand.  Here's the minimal file:

\usemodule[bib]
\setupbibtex[database=book]
\starttext
See \cite[van-Dyke:82]
\startbackmatter
%\chapter{References}
\placepublications
\stopbackmatter

\stoptext


With this .bbl file:

\setuppublicationlist[samplesize={vD82},totalnumber=1]

\startpublication[k=van-Dyke:82,t=book,
a={{van Dyke}},y=1982,
n=1,s=vD82]
\author[]{Milton}[M.]{van}{Dyke}
\pubyear{1982}
\title{An Album of Fluid Motion}
\city{Stanford, Calif.}

What is the output of

ruby path-to-texmf-local/scripts/context/ruby/texmfstart texexec.rb

Hans and Taco, it seems that the bib module does not work with the ruby
version of texexec. The cite command prints only .

 Same for me.  The problem is that in line 113, we have
.ge5rö
in Latin-1 encoding, but XeTeX tries reading the file in UTF-8.


Has anyone encountered this error? Is there a solution?


 I only have a nasty hack:  In the patterns directory, run (in bash)

for file in *.pat *.hyp
  do iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8 <$file >$file-u
done

and in mult-sys.tex, change the lines reading

\definefileconstant {patternsextension}  {pat}
\definefileconstant {hyphensextension}   {hyp}

to

\doifundefinedelse{XeTeXversion}
{\definefileconstant {patternsextension}  {pat}
 \definefileconstant {hyphensextension}   {hyp}}
{\definefileconstant {patternsextension}  {pat-u}
 \definefileconstant {hyphensextension}   {hyp-u}}

There probably is a much better place for this change, but cont-new.tex, 
afaik, is not read when generating formats and I don't know where the 
code really should go.  It mayalso be possible to fix the behaviour by 
some regime switchting in the .pat and .hyp files, but I know very 
little about those commands and haven't tested it.


 Still, XeConTeXt does not work as expected in the current version:
The plain TeX file

\font\myface="Hiragino Mincho Pro W3"
\myface
こちらはテストです。日本語のテストです。
\bye

works like a charm, but

\definetypeface[myface][rm][Xserif][Hiragino Mincho Pro W3]

\setupbodyfont[myface,14pt]
\starttext
こちらはテストです。日本語のテストです。
\stoptext

produces an output containing only a lot of accented latin characters, 
see attached file.
