Re: [NTG-context] error message query

2008-09-03 Thread Alan Bowen
Thomas—

The problem seems limited to one of my environments. With the one for  
the journal, MKII and \def\ {|~|} work when the Greek module is loaded  
and when real Greek is set. In short, the changes made in your Greek  
module seem happily restricted to text in \localgreek{...} and so on.

I am at a loss to see how \def\ {|~|} collides with the many macros in  
the problem environment right now, hence my query about a cleverer way  
to make the definition.

By the way, I use |~| to reduce stretch and to get the right spacing  
after any period within a sentence. It’s unbreakability is an  
undesirable side effect. (The string A.|~\E|~|Samuel”, for example,  
breaks with a hyphen as in  “A. E.-” which is certainly not good.)  
Apparently, we have lost the functionality of the old “\ ” when 
\mainlanguage[en].

Cheers, Alan

[NTG-context] Verbatim with color background

2008-09-03 Thread B. Tommy Jensen
Hi,
I have a short question about verbatim areas (\starttyping):

I have been trying to define a background color to verbatim
areas in a document. My method so far is to define a
textbackground named "verbatim" and refer to this in the
setuptyping method:

\setuptyping[typing][margin=0.5cm,bodyfont=8.0pt,
before={\starttextbackground[verbatim]},
after={\stoptextbackground}]

This works only partly. For example, when using long
verbatim texts that spans over more than one page,
the background color disappears on the last page.

Is there any other easy way of controlling the background
color on verbatim areas?

Best regards,
Tommy Jensen

You don't really need to update locally. Update globally.

There is some update mechanism, but takes time to explain (read as: we
didn't take time to make it more user friendly yet), esp. on windows.

You could download
http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/context-setup-mswin.zip
unzip it and then run
   first-setup.bat --context=beta --texroot=path-to-your-context
where path-to-your-context must be the parent of texmf-xxx. You might
experience strange problems with uppercase letters and spaces in
folder names though. You need to use unix-like folder names (with
slashes, not backslashes).

[NTG-context] error message query

It appears that the problem is my definition

\def\ {|~|}

Though this definition works in a simple test file, it apparently

Since you seem to be using Greek in your file: both | and ~ are made  
inactive in the Greek environment, so if you use '\ ' within Greek  
stuff, you're running into trouble. I don't see a solution within mkii  
if you want the nonbreakable space.

Hi Thomas!

Hard to say for me whats wrong, but I think its a bad idea to use such
optional parameter commands in a nested way. Also there is no need for a
second parameter number check.

How about something like

\def\doCommand%
  {\iffifthargument
 \CommandA[#1][#2][#3][#4]{#5}%
   \else\iffourthargument
   \CommandB[#1][#2][#3]{#4}%
 \else
   % some error handling
 \fi
   \fi}

You need something with possibly five arguments so you should use quint 
rather than quad:

\def\Command%
{\doquintupleargument\doCommand}

> \def\doCommand{%
>   \iffifthargument%
>   \doquadrupleargument\Command1%

The usual way is

\def\doCommand[#1][#2][#3][#4][#5]%
{\doifelsenothing{#5}%See below
 {\Command1[#1][#2][#3][#4][#5]}
 {\Command2[#1][#2][#3][#4]}}

I use \doifelsenothing rather than \doiffirthargument. If I give

\Command[...][...][...][...][] with \doifelsenothing \Commnad2 will be 
called while with \iffifthargument \Command1 will be called. Use whichever 
is more appropriate for your problem.

The above code is untested, but I am pretty sure that it will work.

If *.engine works for you, feel free to use that one. You don't need
to bother about setuptex, really, unless you need to use TeX in bash.
And TeXWorks might be the new future of TeXShop anyway ...

Today a new package has been uploaded to CTAN:

History:

1.2: Tue Sep  2 10:28:32 UTC 2008
- Correction for ConTeXt support in the edit query.
  The previous method was assuming that TeX boxes do not overlap,
  which is reasonable for LaTeX but not for ConTeXt.
  This assumption is no longer considered.

Once Martin and Jonathan fix pdfTeX & XeTeX sources, you'll have a
chance to experiment further :) :) :)

\Command1[#1][#2][#3][#4]{#5}

if it has four, as

\Command2[#1][#2][#3]{4#}

I thought this would be the way to go:

\def\Command{%
\doquadrupleempty\doCommand}

\def\doCommand{%
\iffifthargument%
\doquadrupleargument\Command1%
\else%
\dotripleargument\Command2%
\fi}

but that gives me errors about "too many }s". So I'm wondering: am I  
on the wrong track? Can this be done at all?

Thanks, and best

Thomas

Re: [NTG-context] interactionbuttons

The correct question was "what's too much to make it work"...

\definereference[GoToToC][myToC]

The button contains the text "GoToToC". How do you assign
a symbol to it instead ?

Thx,
Alan

I like that idea. Just subscribed to TikZ list.

In Arabic countries where math is RTL, it is totally RTL.

[NTG-context] Formula number in right2left direction

2008-09-03 Thread Mehdi Omidali
Hi,
There is a problem in formula numbers in RL direction. I mean in a formula the
direction of the number of formula is from left to right. I tried \mathdir TRT
and this problem disappeared but two new problems appeared. First, the hole
formula typesetted from right to left which shouldn't be. Second, the prantesis
arround the formula number get reversed like )a.b(. It would be nice if \mathdir
TRT only changes the direction of the formula number (with correct prantesis)
not hole the formula.
Thanks

sure, but we might as well deal with them in a special r-l aware mode 
(probably easier)

we need to look into it next week (when taco is back from vacation) 
because it might as well be some problem in luatex itself (when/where 
inject those dir nodes)

among the pending issues was 'where do we explicitly need to set it and 
when do we need to compensate for it'

for some reason inserts (the figure) are sensitive to it and it might be 
some interference as well as a missing explicit dir reversal

[omega provides these mechanisms but i think that there was never a full 
blown macro package using them, i.e. mixed direction support and such; 
there might be many places where we need to add dir-checking code to 
context; a few places already have it]
