[NTG-context] MTXrun | error, no format found with name: cont-en, aborting
I'm a moderate context user (finished a 100 page math text recently) and haven't had too many problems except for downloading an occasional beta which has an issue or two. My book compiles just fine on my office computer, but I installed context and get compilation errors on my home laptop (a windows 7 box). I've been able to work through all other problems with context up to this point, sometimes waiting a day or two until someone uploaded a fix in the new beta, but for some reason I've gotten stuck on this one. I installed context via: - Download of context-setup-mswin.zip - unzip to c:\context - run of first-setup.bat (with no args, and same happens with --context=current) - After running, I go to the tex/ directory and run the setuptex.bat - Go back to c:\context and run a test file with just \starttext TEST \stoptext using context test.tex - I get the error MTXrun | error, no format found with name: cont-en, aborting I also tried using TeXworks, using compilation using texmfstart.exe and texexec. That compiled the original test.tex, but refuses to compile any .tex code with metapost. What, in most cases, does the MTXrun | error, no format found with name: cont-en, aborting error indicate? I know that odds are I missed something stupid, but just can't figure it out this time. Thank you for your help and your time.

[NTG-context] Expansion of TeX macros inside the Lua function
I came across an interesting issue (for me), which is probably the
beginner, but accompanied me for a long time. The problem is probably
that I do not understand very well the principles of operation LuaTeX
and while I want to do more complex things.
I think many beginners will love it when someone indicate solutions.
My problem is that I need in my complex application, evaluate parameters
of Lua functions, which are a TeX macros (respectively their expanded
contents). I did not discover the possibility of expansion of TeX
macros, which is a parameter Lua function.
Here are three examples in which I demonstrate the problem.
1. In first example is function parameter a text string.
\ctxlua{pars('a,b,c,d,e')}
Everything works as expected - evaluation of parameter was carried out
OK - comma separator was found and replaced.
2. In second example is a function parameter a TeX macro \printaction.
Macro expanded before entering the function. Everything works as
expected too - comma separator is found and replaced:
\ctxlua{pars('\printaction')}
3. The third example of my most interesting. Function parameter in
example is a TeX macro \printaction which not expanded, respectively
expanded only when I printing it to TeX. Parameter of function is string
\printaction in which it is futile to look for a comma separator.
Comma not be found, although the content of macro face that is so.
\ctxlua{pars('\\printaction')}
Is there a possibility for this case, as in some way to save to Lua
variable content of macro (of course expanded)?
I note that this example is important for me and I would like there to
be a Lua function (eg expandtostring), which expanded a TeX macro into
variable until inside function Lua.
I hope the my example (with comments) will be comprehensible and I
apologize if the solution is too trivial. I searched dozens of examples,
but I come across something similar.
Thanx very much - Jaroslav
Here is example:
\startluacode
function pars(inppar)
strpar=tostring(inppar) -- here I need a function expandtostring(inppar)
gsubstr=string.gsub(strpar, ',', ';')
tex.print(Input parametr (string or macro): )
tex.write(inppar)
tex.print(\\par)
tex.print(Content of string (macro): ..strpar) -- There will always be
expansion
tex.print(\\par)
tex.print(Length string (macro): ..string.len(inppar)..\\par)
tex.print(Length of content : ..string.len(strpar)..\\par)
tex.print(Occurrence of the commma separator: ..gsubstr..\\par)
end
\stopluacode
\def\printaction{x,y,z}
\starttext
Example 1)
Function parameter in first example is a text string. Everything works as
expected - comma separator is found and replaced:
\ctxlua{pars('a,b,c,d,e')}
\blank[big]
Example 2)
Function parameter in second example is a TeX macro \backslash printaction
which expanded before entering the function. Everything works as
expected too - comma separator is found
and replaced:
\ctxlua{pars('\printaction')}
\blank[big]
Example 3)
The third example of my most interesting. Function parameter in example is
a TeX macro \backslash printaction which not expanded, respectively
expanded
only when I printing it to TeX. Parameter of function is still string
\backslash printaction in which it is futile to look for a comma
separator.
Comma not be found, although the content of macro face that is so. Is

content of
macro (of course expanded)?
\ctxlua{pars('\\printaction')}

Hi Taco,
Well, you could create a temporary file from withing the metapost
graphic, then read that file back on the TeX side, and then shift
the image vertically based on the info from that.
Could you give me a hint on how to parse such an auxiliary file in
TeX? I've never done any sort of that programming before...
You don't have to worry about parsing, just write something like
this in the metapost code:
write \string\def\string\MathAxis{ decimal (sqrt(3)*u/3) } to
info.tex;
Then \input info.

Re: [NTG-context] Expansion of TeX macros inside the Lua function
Thanx very much to Hans.
I see that you understood what I meant. I expected something like this
probably will not do.
I'll try to experiment according to your advice.
You ask why do I need? It is hard for me to explain in English why I
need it.
Only shortly:
I prepared a series of Lua functions, that accesses data from a CSV file
in very general level.
In fact I can in Luacycle print in ConTeXt (but in LuaLaTeX or LuaPlain
too) any reports, forms, mail merge letters, etc.
The user creates a report (using data of row of the CSV table). The user
can in report use TeX macros, that are automaticaly creating during
browsing of the CSV file. Macro names are derived from Excel table
columns (\ cA, \ cB, \ cC, ...) or are created under the header (first
line) CSV table.
I had it working quite well, but I am trying now output from my
applications to use as an input to the database module of Mojca Miklavec.
The problem is that output of my application appears in the one macro
(printmacro \printacion or maybe better \lineaction because it contains
the row data of the CSV table). Unfortunately, I have a macro in
unexpanded form (as one token), because it constantly changes according
to the contents of the current row of CSV table, but Mojca module
requires several values separated by separators.
I hope at least someone can understand my bad English ... Sorry Taco :-)
...
Thank you all for your patience with amateurs such as myself. I have
great admiration for you all and I am privileged to be helping me.
Thanks Jaroslav

Re: [NTG-context] CSV parser do not processed macro.
to solve my problem I need to find why my function ParseCSVdata
incorrectly parses strings stored in a macro.
You can work around the problem by defining a Lua function that calls
the macro:
\def\parse#1{\directlua{pars(#1)}}
You can then either call it directly:
\parse{\printaction}
or from Lua with tex.print:
\startluacode
tex.print(\\parse{\\printaction})
\stopluacode
and the macros are expanded in the order you want.
It's admittedly a bit silly, but it works.
As a side note, the infinitive of the verb related to “parser” is “to
parse” in English, with an ‘e’ at the end.
