[NTG-context] Minimals and dvipng
Hi all,
My TeX setup: TeXLive (systemwide) for evetything but ConTeXt, and the
minimals for ConTeXt, in my userspace.
I have some issues using dvipng with minimals.
I first compile this file with texexec:
..
\setupoutput[dvi]
\enableregime[utf]
\starttext
\startTEXpage
$
SP=\int_0^{Q_0}(p_0-Cm(Q))dQ
$
\stopTEXpage
\stoptext
..
In the minimals environment, dvipng says:
..
This is dvipng 1.11 Copyright 2002-2008 Jan-Ake Larsson dvipng warning:
cannot find ps2pk.map, nor psfonts.map [1dvipng warning: font rm-lmr12 at

..
And the output is awful!!
But if I dvipng in the TL environment, it works like a charm. So what
should I add to my minimals install, or do to have all the TL stuff not
forgotten when I use minimals?
tia,

But if I dvipng in the TL environment, it works like a charm. So what should I add to my minimals install, or do to have all the TL stuff not forgotten when I use minimals? dvipng is not part of the minimals at all, which means you're probably using it from TL's path, where it can't find the minimals' fonts. If you're ready to hack a bit, just copy dvipng to the minimals' path.

[NTG-context] 2NUP, spreading a table on 2 pages
Hello List, I'm trying to design a little booklet on the form two A5 pages on a A4 sheet. It's not hard to do as it is well documented. The problem is the following: I would like to add a table (actually a people list with firstname, lastname, mobile, address and so on and so on) that is quite wide. The idea is to put it on a double page (ie, when you open the booklet, the table is on both the left and the right page). The easy way would be to 1) manually cut the table in two tables (a left one and a right one) that fit on a page and 2) to put them each on their own page, beeing sure the left one is on a left page. Here, the difficulty is to align both tables accross the pages. Another way would be to ask context to do that by himself. Is there a way to do that?

OK. That's not Tagged PDF. Tagged PDF's main features focus on accessibility, adding information for the visually impaired (you can, for example, tag some text as part of the page header, by contrast to the page body: an application that reads the document out loud would know not to read that part). It also allows better archiving (the PDF/A standard). All concerns very distinct from the needs of publishers. I'm just learning about XMP (Extensible Metadata Platform) which Luigi mentioned, but it doesn't really look like it contains the information you mention (although you can apparently add all sort of metadata, including images). Actually, the kind of information the printing shop asks for is available in any PDF file in a straightforward way: the very format has been designed so that all the PDF objects can be accessed directly with extreme efficience (there is a cross-reference table with the byte offsets to every object inside the file). Individual pages are objects in a PDF file; they contain references to the resources needed to render them (fonts, images, etc.), so the basic functionality to render each page individually is already present in the format. And it's been there from day one -- which is, by the way, the reason why the insides of a PDF file look so undecipherable to the human eye: it's designed to be efficient to process automatically, not to be read by a programmer. By contrast, an XML-based format would be (somewhat) more human-friendly, but much slower to parse. There's a variation on this basic feature: if you look at a PDF file over the Internet, the cross-reference table isn't conveniently located because it is at the very end of the file; so you need to download the entire file before your PDF viewer can start displaying it (I think the argument behind that design decision was that a PDF-producing application only knows the entire list of objects at the end of the first pass, and can thus output the whole file sequentially in a single pass. Of course that clashes directly with the needs of PDF-consuming applications). To circumvent this, Adobe devised a special type of object that contains the same information as the cross-reference table, which you can put at the very beginning of the file, together with the material needed to render the first pages. This is Linearized PDF (sometimes, confusingly enough, called optimized PDF). It's rather unlikely that it'd be what your printer wants (I suppose the file is already available on disk somewhere), but in any case, Ghostscript can produce it with the utility pdfopt. ConTeXt isn't able to produce it; it has been ruled that it was beyond the scope of pdfTeX and luaTeX. When I get specific information from the printing shop, I'll pass it along. I'm interested, too. But needless to say, I'm very concerned. If tagged pdf support is not available in ConTeXt/LuaTeX, I feel that difficulties are either here now, or at best, looming on the horizon. Why? There's progress made every day. Tagged PDF is indeed a problem for the moment, but it's clearly not the feature your printer asks for, and as a rule, you can be sure that if some functionality is essential to publishers, it will be added quickly to ConTeXt :-) Thanks again to all for the responses. The information has been very enlightening. I have sent an optimized (I know, badly named,) PDF file off to the publisher and I'm waiting for his response. From all indications on this thread, I'm somewhat optimistic that it will solve the problem. I'll let you know what I hear back.

But if anyone has a solution, I'm interested :) You can solve it with twopassdata and a few wrapper macros to hide the underlying macros in your document. Take a look in my example how this can be done. You need the arrange key for texexec to let it work in imposition mode.

I tried the second. The shell variable $HOMETEXMF is not set on my
system, thus I tried putting t-letterhead.tex in the same directory
and also in /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/third. When trying to
generate I get:

It was an to old version I used. It was 5.2.4, on a 6.2.0 it works. I
can now taylor it to my needs.

Re: [NTG-context] Minimals and dvipng
Thanks a lot, it works. Will there be any side-effect on normal uses of context? Definitely. TEXFONTMAPS is the path to the various font mapping files for dvips, (x)dvipdfm(x) and pdfTeX. I would strongly advise against setting that variable for normal use of the minimals. What you could do without tweaking with TEXFONTMAPS, is to put ps2pk.map in some directory inside fonts/map in the minimals, together with the dvipng binary. Best in texmf-local, for this is the location for local changes. But then, you of course need to make sure that the necessary fonts are available in the minimals, etc. Since you have TeX Live installed, your best bet is probably to use the minimals with the special TEXFONTMAPS setting only for ConTeXt + dvipng, and otherwise use the minimals only, or TeX Live only.

[NTG-context] setupindenting

Re: [NTG-context] backgrounds: help needed
I, too, do not understand the
\definetextbackground
\starttextbackground
\stoptextbackground
commands, even though I tried looking at details.pdf (and core-pgr.tex).
My particular problem is rather classic, that of illustrating examples, set off
from the main text.
I first used
\defineframedtext [example]
[width=fit,background=screen,backgroundscreen=0.7]
\startexample
...
\stopexample
and this is appropriate if the example is short enough to fit on one page.
However, a long example (many paragraphs) that spans more than one page
runs off the bottom.
Textbackground seems more appropriate, so I tried
\definetextbackground [example]
[location=paragraph,backgroundcolor=middlegray,frame=off]
\definestartstop [example]
[before={\starttextbackground[example]},after=\stoptextbackground]
but this does not work. I tried other variants (such as adding state=start,
...) with no success.
Does anyone have suggestions on where to look for further documentation or
examples of use?
Thanks.

Re: [NTG-context] colored column
Hallo Hans,
What is the problem here?
maybe a typo? \{C{red} looks weird
See:
---
% Key \{: Enclose template in braces.
\NewFormatKey \{{%
\!taDataColumnTemplate=\!thx{\!thx{\the\!taDataColumnTemplate}}%
\ReadFormatKeys}
---
in thrd-tab.tex
Will this FormatKey be repaired?
If yes, I would keep this in my example collection.
Gruß, Wolfgang
