[NTG-context] translating LyX/LaTex book into ConTeXt (was Re: [Context] Xindy)

I'm sure there is no problem in doing English/Croatian, but wonder about Sanskrit diacritics, eg. when I typeset small snippet from the LyX source I notice things like: fonts > checking > char ṁ (U+01E41) in font 'LMRoman12-Regular' with id 1: missing backend > xmp > using file '/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/mkiv/lpdf-pdx.xml' so I wonder if you have some suggestions in regard to fonts which cover those diacritics well? When using LaTeX, accents were just handled by putting e.g. dot over 'm'. Any hint how to easily enter such things in one's editor? Now, I wonder how can one "define one's own sort order" since I'd like that words containing e.g. 'ṁ' are to be sorted as 'm'? > personally i have no plans for using xindy (i looked into it real > long ago but at that time it was rather latex oriented and could not > carry enough info around which i want in context) As far as I understand Xindy is not developed any longer, so I hope ConTeXt can do everything?

[NTG-context] adjusting tikz pictures

I believe that using GeoGebra for drawing, exporting to TikZ is the most

That's correct - I was using reST in the past, but lack of support for e.g. nested inline markup leads to strange and ugly workarounds.

[NTG-context] speaker notes in context presentations
Hello! I'm about to start working on series of slide-show presentations for educational/teaching purposes... While I was investigating the possibility of using (Pandoc) Markdowm to author prsentation, I noticed that e.g. reveal.js (https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js) has capability to create 'speaker notes': "reveal.js comes with a speaker notes plugin which can be used to present per-slide notes in a separate browser window. The notes window also gives you a preview of the next upcoming slide so it may be helpful even if you haven't written any notes. Press the 's' key on your keyboard to open the notes window. A speaker timer starts as soon as the speaker view is opened. You can reset it to 00:00:00 at any time by simply clicking/tapping on it." However, just a thought that I would have to deal with downloading npm stuff, running local server etc. instead of just having single PDF file is not attractive to me at all. However, I know that one can do it with LaTeX Beamer class - see e.g. https://gist.github.com/andrejbauer/ac361549ac2186be0cdb and there are even applications to help with that like pdfpc: https://github.com/pdfpc/pdfpc and wonder what would be the best way to do it in ConTeXt and/or whether someone has some experience with ConTeXt-generated PDFs and e.g. pdfpc?

[NTG-context] org-mode & ConTeXt
Hello, I plan to start working on series lectures/presentations for educational purposes and I'm going to use ConTeXt for typesetting the whole material. Considering that for smaller articles (e.g. blog posts) I use Emacs' org-mode (with Hugo static-site-generator) and spend fair amount of time with org-mode, I wonder whether you in general can recommend using org-mode for collecting notes and then export to ConTeXt (via Pandoc)? Another concern - disclaimer: still haven't go through excellent Bibliographies manual - is whether it is possible to e.g. use org-ref (https://github.com/jkitchin/org-ref) - orgmode's support for RefTeX (https://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/reftex.html) which is mentioned in the wiki (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Reftex) or is is better to excusively work within the scope of ConTeXt? I've also noticed that Bibliogrpahies manual does mention JabRef and Zotero for managing databases, so I'd appreciate if ConTeXt users can share their experience in regard?

Here are some snippets from my old xindy setup...
;; define order of sorting runs
(use-rule-set :run 0
:rule-set ("resolve-sanskrit-diacritics" "hr-alphabetize"
"hr-ignore-special"))
(use-rule-set :run 1

(use-rule-set :run 2
:rule-set ("hr-resolve-case" "hr-ignore-special"))
(use-rule-set :run 3
:rule-set ("hr-resolve-special"))
which says that the sorting should be done in the following order: first
rules for sanskrit diacriticits, then alphabetic sort of Croatian (hr)
characters etc. followed by another set of rules saying to sort Croatian
diacritics (I was using latin2 encoding) etc.
Here is example of resolve-sanskrit-diacritics:
(define-rule-set "resolve-sanskrit-diacritics"
:rules (("\\={(a)}" "\1" :bregexp :again)
("\\={\\i}" "i" :bregexp :again)
("\\={I}" "I" :bregexp :again)
("\\\.{(.)}" "\1" :bregexp :again)
("\\d{(r)}" "ri" :bregexp :again)
("\\d{(t)}" "\1" :bregexp :again)
("\\d{(T)}" "\1" :bregexp :again)
("\\d{(d)}" "\1" :bregexp :again)
("\\d{(n)}" "\1" :bregexp :again)
("\\d{(s)}" "š" :bregexp :again)
("\\d{(S)}" "Š" :bregexp :again)
("\\~{(.)}" "\1" :bregexp :again)
("\\'{(c)}" "ć" :bregexp :again)
("\\'{(C)}" "Ć." :bregexp :again)
("\\'{(s)}" "š" :bregexp :again)
("\\'{(S)}" "Š" :bregexp :again)
))
which says that e.g. 'ṣ' which is pronounced similar to Croatian 'š'
should go in the same letter-group, same with 'Ś' which goes to 'Š'. 'ṛ'
is pronounced as 'ri' and it should goes in the letter group 'ri' etc.
Of course, at that time, without proper Unicode support, it was a bit
cumbersome but I was able to see everything properly in LyX as well as
properly sorted in the final PDF/PS outputs.
Is something like that possible in ConTeXt?

Gour

Re: [NTG-context] Preparing a weird index.
john Culleton writes: Hello, > I have looked into Xindy for this job but the learning curve is pretty > steep and the documentation pretty opaque. makeindex won't handle > decimals for locators. in the past when working on some books with the English/Croatian/Sanskrit(diacritics) using Xindy in companion with LyX/LaTeX was the only option to ger proper sorting. I was playing with the ConTeXt more than 10 years ago, but lack of proper docs was always keeping me back from fully embracing it. Today after checking (again) I see that there are even some printed books and MkIV/LuaTeX seems to be quite stable, so I wonder about ConTeXt's capabilities to generate index/glossary in regard to xindy which is powerful, but I never really grokked it properly? Other typesetting features of ConTeXt are certainly very tempting and along with Emacs/AUCTeX everything looks as very pleasant typesetting environment. @John: I'm curios if you were able to prepare desired index *without* makeindex/xindy?

[NTG-context] simplefonts or Typecripts
Hello! I'd like to (finally) dive into ConTeXt (MkIV) using it for everything and stop using LyX/LaTeX...ConText is installed via context-minimals-git package on Archlinux (thank you Aditya). The 'Using fonts' section on wiki says: Handling fonts in LuaTeX can be done * in a simple but limited way, using the simplefonts module; * in the standard way, using TypeScripts and I've tried example with Delicious font (too bad there is no Croatian characters available) and it works. Considering I never learnt TypeScripts mechanism (and managed to forget most of ConteXr I knew when fiddling with it some years ago), I wonder if 'simplefonts' is THE way to go with fonts in MkIV and/or is there something one may miss by not using TypeScripts mechanism?

(These days I'm TUG member and give some modest donation for TeX Gyre and LuaTeX projects.) So, the main variable in equation here is: TIME! I simply do not have time to research mailing lists, wikis etc. to find about the 'application', but prefer to buy the book (I'm book guy accustomed to learn from books) and read it afk to learn basic things. Then, I might get into mailing list, IRC, forums etc. when faced with very specific problems. That's the reason, I believe, why many people are buying books - to quickly get 'in action' as Manning publishers explain their book series. However, it might be that ConTeXt prefer to always stay niche-product and to, as Haskellers say: "Avoid success at all costs.” :-) Sincerely, Gour -- Gour | Hlapicina, Croatia | GPG key: F96FF5F6 signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

[NTG-context] updating Minimals for MKIV
Hiya!
I've decide to (finally) learn ConTeXt and use it exclusively as well
as port (some of) the old documents from LaTeX/LyX.
In order to do that I've installed context-minimals-git package
available for Arch Linux (thank you Aditya! - mahajano yena gatah sa
panthah) ;)
I've some issues with update (left the note on AUR), but I'm curious
what is the proper way to update ConTeXt for MKIV format? (I do not
need MKII and want to focus on MKIV exclusively - to help with
testing and because I've no need to keep any MK II document.)
The wiki page (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals) says:
* For making MKIV format
luatools --selfupdate
mtxrun --selfupdate
luatools --generate
context --make
while the package for Archlinux has the following update function:
post_upgrade() {
source /opt/context-minimals/setuptex
mktexlsr
texexec --make cont-en metafun
texexec --make --xetex
echo "*"
echo "To use ConTeXt minimals run"
echo "/opt/context-minimals/setuptex"
echo "To use MkIV run"
echo "luatools --generate"
echo "*****"
}
i.e. only "luatools --generate".
Anyone can clarify?
Sincerely,
Gour

[NTG-context] markup format ---> ConTeXt
Hi! At the moment I use Emacs Muse for writing my study notes which I then have to submit as *.doc file (muse --> html -> OO --> doc). I like it 'cause it enables me to combine all the notes and convert into ConTeXt later. However, the only disadvantage of it is that Muse markup is tied to Emacs editor and not so popular for those using other editors. Therefore I am considering some other 'easy' markup with the ConTeXt back-end. Some of the more popular markup-formats are AsciiDoc (http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/index.html) and reStructuredText (http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html), but according to what I see both are missing ConTeXt back-end (latex only) :-( Any suggestion for 'popular' markup with ConTexT back-end?
