[NTG-context] ConTeXt on the Mac (TexShop). Problem of a newbie
Hi,
after using LaTeX for article writing, presentations (beamer) and posters for
about 15 years I wanted to try ConTeXt last week. I am not sure whether I
installed all components correctly, so I tried to compile different simple test
files. As I don't understand the error messages, I would like to ask for help.
0. Installation
My configuration is
- Macbook Pro, OSX 10.6.8
- TexShop 2.47
- Engine: ConTeXt-MKIV.engine
I followed the instructions on
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Standalone/Mac_Installation
step by step and installed a standalone version in the folder
/Applications/Context.
1. A simple Hello world example works fine!
\starttext
Hello world
\stoptext
2. A simple presentation works fine and displays
the nice black-red-gray background (see log below)
\usemodule[s-pre-03]
\starttext
\TitlePage{A simple presentation}
\Topics{Today's talk}
\Topic{First item}
\Topic{Second item}
\stoptext
3. A similarly simple presentation _does not work_
(see log below)
\usemodule[s-pre-05]
\starttext
\TitlePage{A simple presentation}
\Topics{Today's talk}
\Topic{First item}
\Topic{Second item}
\stoptext
My questions:
- What is different between s-pre-03 and s-pre-05?
- Does the error messages indicate that the installation was incomplete in some
way...?
- The error message says
error on line 11 in file Pres2.tex
although the file contains only 7 lines...?
Thanks for your help

Mkii or Mkiv? I'm surprised you get any meaningful output at all. What I
would suggest:
1. Use proper unicode input. The two glyphs you want are in OldStandard
as 1x1FB0 and 1x1FB1. (I can paste them into this mail, but it's always
a risk whether this will be mangled by a mail agent: ᾰ ᾱ)
2. You can also use regular ConTeXt constructs:
\buildtextaccent\textmacron α}
\buildtextaccent\textbreve α}
I would advise (strongly) against using ASCII transliteration; this is
essentially a leftover from the 1980s, which should have died with the
floppy disk and the dot matrix printer...

minimal example:

\startxrow
\startxcell head one \stopxcell
\startxcell head two \stopxcell

Yes,
Many simpleslides styles seem to be broken.

what should I do?

Re: [NTG-context] hbar (and probably some other symbols) doesn't work in latest beta
Hi all,
thanks for your responses.
@Hans: yes, hbar is extremely common in quantum physics, in fact I'd go as far
to say as ubiquitous. It might be considered strange that the glyph doesn't
exist, but it's actually defined in TeX as a ligature:
\def\hbar{{\mathchar'26\mkern-9muh}
I tried defining this but it doesn't work: I still get nothing.
As it happens, \hslash seems to work fine, and in my opinion is a suitable
substitute so I will just
\def\hbar\hslash
(although actually that didn't work, I had to do \def\hbar{\hslash} for some
reason or I got an error in some tikz code I wrote).

I hope there aren't that many broken styles... Anyway, I'm not teaching
this year, so I don't use the module too often, so this slips by me. I
looked at the SideToc style, but I can't figure out the problem;
something must have changed in the core. So all I can do is give a
minimal example for what fails and hope that one of the real experts
will have an idea. Most of the clever code in the example is actually
Wolfgang's... So here comes:
\setuplayout [leftmargin=4cm,
backspace=5cm]
\define[3]\FancyEntry
{\doifelse{#1}{\MyMark}%
{\color[red]{#1 = \MyMark}\blank[medium]}
{\color[blue]{#1 = \MyMark}\blank[medium]}
}
\definelist[MyTopics][criterium=all]
\def\MyMark{}
\def\Topic%
{\dosingleargument\doTopic}
\def\doTopic[#1]{%
\def\MyMark{#1}%
\writetolist[MyTopics]{#1}{}%
}
\setuplist[MyTopics]
[pagenumber=no,
alternative=command,
command=\FancyEntry]
\setuptexttexts[margin][\vbox{\placelist[MyTopics]}][]
\starttext
\Topic[First]
First Topic
\page
\Topic[Second]
Second Topic
\stoptext
The problem is that the \doifelse always evaluates to false, even when
\MyMark is defined and equal to the topic; I hope the example clarifies
this. [tested with latest beta mkiv]
All best
Thomas

When you're back in teaching mode I'll tell you how to do it properly,
so here's a quick hack:
\define[3]\FancyEntry {
\ifnum\structurelistrealpagenumber=\realpageno\relax SAME \else
OTHER \fi PAGE
\blank[medium]
\doifelse \rawstructurelistfirst \MyMark
{\color[red] {#1 = \MyMark}}
{\color[blue]{#1 = \MyMark}}
\blank[medium]
}
In your case you compare an unexpandable macro with a regular one so
that will always be false.
Last year the list macros became more flexible and more properties are
available as either unexpandable or expandable macro

file with layers etc. In other words, my pdf images are about 10 times as
big as they need to be. I usually just reduce the file size with preview.
As this seems to be erroneous now, I am wondering:
it's even worse ... all kind of color and other data is present is such a

normally at pragma we do such things either automatically (when graphics are
put in repositories) or with acrobat in batch mode (doable if you get the

you can play with this:

Re: [NTG-context] Was: Opening external documents ... - Can ConTeXt reduce size of images?

Thanks Hans,
I'll give this a try when I am in a daring mood and less busy.
the latest beta has this:
% \enabletrackers[graphics.programs]
\starttext
\externalfigure[cow.pdf][conversion=stripped]
\stoptext
Of course I cannot guarantee that the pdf gets stripped, but at least
it's tried.

So, this clearly is not a ConTeXt problem. But it causes me major headaches.
In my workflow, I have dozens of images
that I prepare with Adobe Illustrator and save as pdf files that are still
editable with Illustrator, i.e. that include another copy of the
file with layers etc. In other words, my pdf images are about 10 times as big
as they need to be. I usually just reduce the file size with preview.
As this seems to be erroneous now, I am wondering:
it's even worse ... all kind of color and other data is present is such a file
.. the pstopdf.rb script (comes with mkii) gets rid of some of that
normally at pragma we do such things either automatically (when graphics are
put in repositories) or with acrobat in batch mode (doable if you get the
graphics in advance) because doing such thing smanually for thousands of images
is no fun
you can play with this:
\startluacode
local gsp = os.type == windows and gswin32c or gs
local gsc = %s -q -dEPSCrop -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dNOPAUSE -dSAFER -dNOCACHE -dBATCH
-dProcessColorModel=/DeviceCMYK -sOutputFile=%s %s -c quit
local pdp = pdftops -eps %s %s
figures.converters.pdf = {
xxx = function(oldname,newname)
local tmpname = oldname .. .ps
local command = string.format(pdp,oldname,tmpname)
os.execute(command)
local command = string.format(gsc,gsp,newname,oldname)
os.execute(command)
end
}
figures.registersuffix(xxx,pdf)
\stopluacode
\starttext
\externalfigure[cow.pdf][conversion=xxx]
\stoptext
pdftops comes with xpdf (also in minimals)
if needed I can add a standard converter for it

It might save a preprocessing step. We preprocess with -dProcessDSCComments=false otherwise PDFs generated by external programs (OpenOffice, I'm looking at you) in combination with particular fonts might wreak havoc with the document they are included into. I don't know which downsides this might have, though. In our workflow this leads to more predictable results. Maybe someone with more insight of the PDF internals could judge if it makes sense to add this option. It looks like the presets are not hard-coded. What is the interface to change the presets (screen, ebook, prepress)?

When you're back in teaching mode I'll tell you how to do it properly, so
here's a quick hack:
\define[3]\FancyEntry {
\ifnum\**structurelistrealpagenumber=\**realpageno\relax SAME \else
OTHER \fi PAGE
\blank[medium]
\doifelse \rawstructurelistfirst \MyMark
{\color[red] {#1 = \MyMark}}
{\color[blue]{#1 = \MyMark}}
\blank[medium]
}
In your case you compare an unexpandable macro with a regular one so that
will always be false.
Last year the list macros became more flexible and more properties are
available as either unexpandable or expandable macro
