Re: [NTG-context] markup format ---> ConTeXt
First of all, thank you for your propositions, About markup format: ( a markdown header ;-) Markdown seems an interesting one because: - it's alive (as many other format) - it's available in severall scripting languages (ruby, php, python...) - it seems extensible - it is (more or less) translatable to docbook (and finaly to xxTeX) so allows good quality pdf results About docbook: -- But one current need is about docbook, because file already exists as a "dokuwiki hacked" generated file (by a php expert from jelix team) !

Thank you very much, you confirm that the "DocbookInContext" from Simon Pepping is still the way to go. I've no specific request, I just forward some interest by the web community to converting from docbook to pdf more or less automaticaly. I fact, my original interest come from the work of the jelix team (a MVC php Framwork) whose documentation was only online (dokuwiki). Following some user feedback, Jelix team have then generate docbook from that wiki filesss+ and make pdf file thanks to the (not maintained) db2latex tool. I look after a more uptodate tool (for further customisation) and found dblatex as mention on the (french) forum: http://jelix.org/forums/read.php?10,2680,page=4#msg-2872 The result was that the simple command: dblatex jelix-manual.xml produce a "correct" (i.e. readable) jelix-manual.pdf file without any customisation (with default table of content, correct verbatim, ...) which was not the case for db2latex. But then, any customisation will be a latex style, which is more hacking than ConTeXt (I think so, but I'm sure you agree ;-) Nevertheless, the first criterion was that it just works in simple case. If some magic command (or a simple tutorial) like : texexec --docbook jelix-manual.xml do some equivalent work than the above dblatex, no doubt that the ConTeXt community will increase by more than 100%!

So I can do a little "texexec" script, add its path in front of the global path (so that it will be found before any standard old ConTeXt distrib) and use the new "texexec" shell script as the main context executable as usualy.

Ok, but what I mean is the need of such a documentation on the

reimplementing LaTeX in ConTeXt !
I'm not sure that ConTeXt \framed command is able to reproduce
the parbox behavior (position a framed box relatively to its
internal top
or bottom line and the outside baseline)
i think we can safely assume that all these things are available
somehow
(supp-box.tex implements a lot of box types)
I saw this source file thanks to the following URL:
http://source.contextgarden.net/supp-box.tex
There is very much interesting macro, but I see some
%D \macros
%D {strutdp,strutht,strutwd}
%D ...
Does it mean that an automatic generated documentation is available
somewhere
on the web?
Or is it mondatoryto browse the source for using these command.
normally \framed can do what's needed, so in your case, if you can
make
clear what you want to achieve i'm sure that someone on this list can
provide the answer
... So what is the current reference documentation about framed
- Context the manual (page 206) ?
- ConTeXt an excursion (page 45) ?
the manual as well as examples inside the core-ful.tex file
I haven"t been able to find this file!
core-fil.tex exists but doesn't seem to be about using boxes!
the most important properties of framed are
- offset (none,overlay, dimension)
- align (all kind of combinations)
- width/height (dimension or keyword)
- strut (yes|no)
just play a bit with it and you'll see the picture
Thank you for these informations, I reread the (box related) reference
manual, and better understand the thing!
...
I think there has to be two pairs of informations to position a
box (i.e. a "cell" text):
- how is the box is positioned relatively to its environment (the
location=
keyword I think),
no, location is limited to a few options; you can use macros
like \offset[...]{} or other box positioning macros; layers
are also an option
Although I guess what it mean, I didn't found the \offset command
doc neither. I suppose it has numerous
interesting options (on http://texshow.contextgarden.net/)?
- inside the box : everywhere. that implies two reals numbers
between 0.0 and 1.0 (perhaps wider?)
what are those numbers representing?
It could just be a way to specify arbitrary position between
left (0.0) and right (1.0) or between bottom (0.0) ant top (1.0)
But the more important whould be a (uptodate) reference documentation
about
the already existing commands.
(but the TeX command \raise0.5ex could do that)
indeed, \raise and \lower and cousins can come in handy
Yes, I always forget TeX command! thank you very much !
(what do you use those minipages for?)
These are just (v?)boxes which can contain several paragraphs
and theyre own footnotes. Some options can be use to position
theyre internal (top or bottom) line relatively to the external
base line.
No need for now, I only used them in LaTeX for building some boxing
construction. But in context I used vboxex into hboxes (because I
didn't kwox enough about standard \framed command)
In fact, ConTeXt already contains all the needed stuffs, and only
some centralised documentation for using them is missing!
I'm waiting for the future ConTeXt book ;-)

Also the ConTeXt wiki becomme more and more rich in information!

Re: [NTG-context] framed texts for boxing stuff
Le 9 janv. 06 à 11:52, Hans Hagen a écrit :
If it is impossible, is there any equivalent to de minipage or
\parbox LaTeX
equivalent?
i dunno what those are, vboxes?
Not sure what exactly is "vboxes" (something you can put in hbox? yes
it is) but LaTeX
raisebox, parbox, minipage can be put inside a text line.
minipage can manage its ones footnote, but this is not the question
here.
As the "LaTeX++" concurrent package designer, you should read some
page of the
LaTeX reference documentation "A document Preparation System"
It is little book (272 pages with the index !) and cover the core of
the
package.
Page 103 to 110 are related to boxes, and is what is missing in context.
I'm not sure that ConTeXt \framed command is able to reproduce
the parbox behavior (position a framed box relatively to its internal
top
or bottom line and the outside baseline)
in most cases you can use framed (make sure that you set 'align' to
something in order
to enter vmode)
framedtext is a bit more clever and handles some spacing issues
With your help, and some old reference doc and the wiki
(http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Vertically_Centered_Boxes)
I tested the following "one line text" which works.
(My version of TeXExec 5.2.4 doesn't seem to support \startframed and
\stopframed so I use \framed instead).
\starttext
% align:no left right middle normal high low lohi justified
% location: low depth hanging
a word and --%
\framed[width=.2\textwidth, align=flushright, location=depth]{
some stuff
}%
--%
\framed[height=3em,width=11em, align={flushleft,lohi},
location=hanging]{
other stuff
}%
--%
another word, same line
\stoptext
But more generaly, there is a frequent need about boxing stuff and it
seems that the \framed command is the way to go. But it's not always
easy to guess the various parameters to get an expected behavior.
So what is the current reference documentation about framed
- Context the manual (page 206) ?
- ConTeXt an excursion (page 45) ?
Such a command is usefull inside some "hardcoded" slide.
And there could be a "\boxed" or "\cell" macro with default
"frame=off" parameters just to serve as special tabular cell.
I think there has to be two pairs of informations to position a
box (i.e. a "cell" text):
- how is the box is positioned relatively to its environment (the
location=
keyword I think),
- how to position the stuff **inside** the box (align= keyword)
What is the need for these 2 parameters :
- inside the box : everywhere. that implies two reals numbers
between 0.0 and 1.0 (perhaps wider?)
with some keyword for predefined values (flushleft, middle,
flushright
low, high, lohi and baseline,
(vjustified, justified=hjustified serve another feature)
- outside the box : only verticaly ?
one real number [0.0..1.0] plus low depth (=base?) hanging (=top)
Here a parbox provide an option for aligning the external baseline
on the "top" ou "bottom" internal line.
How can I simply optain the "0.5 = vertical middle"
Probably the positionning parameters for outside the box are more
complicated : more than the internal reference point mention above is
to which external reference point the inetrenal point should be
aligned to ?
Generaly the baseline of the parent is the choosen one, but
perhaps one
like to use the "0.5ex hight" one as in minus sign in the "3-2,"
string
(but the TeX command \raise0.5ex could do that)

Re: [NTG-context] framed texts and other "minipage"
Le 7 janv. 06 à 13:50, Hans Hagen a écrit :
No, that will not work.
After much probing I found the culprit.
The framedtext takes the full linewidth and apparently does not
reduces it to the given size.
Therefore enclosing in a vbox seems necessary:
\vbox{\hsize=framesize\startframedtext{width=framesize ...
Question for Hans Hagen: is it an option letting framedtext set
the hsize when a specific width is given?
\hbox to \hsize \bgroup
\startframedtext[none][width=.5\textwidth]
\input tufte
\stopframedtext
\startframedtext[none][width=.5\textwidth]
\input zapf
\stopframedtext
\egroup
Why is it not possible to simply use the \framed command (with some
magic option to
put text into it) to do the obove thing?
\startframed[width=.5\textwidth, ]
\input tufte
\stopframed
\startframed[width=.5\textwidth, ]

Si tu es habité à TeX, et que tu cherche quelque chose de plus évolué

LaTeX.
ConTeXt qui représente à mon sens l'arlésienne "LaTeX3"...
Sauf que ConTeXt est plutot équivalent à "LaTeX" + "LaTeX compagnon"
+ "LaTeX graphique compagnon" (prosper + ...)
Pour donner une idée, les environnements latex
s'expriment par
\begin{toto)

Re: [NTG-context] ConTeXt to RTF Conversion
Le 22 sept. 05 à 12:23, Duncan Hothersall a écrit : - xml in not an input format but (a well structured) interchange format. XML is a very good master format from which to derive all outputs. For example, I receive wordprocessor files from academics and convert them to XML by a combination of automated processes and hand-tagging. The XML is then stored and maintained as the master version of that document, and when we need to produce a new release in HTML, PDF or eBook, a new style of PDF, a text version optimised for screen-readers, etc. we take a snapshot of the latest XML and run it through batch production processes - including ConTeXt for the typesetting side of things. So if I understand wml, I agree that xml is a format for filtering, not a human writable format. TeX, LaTeX or conTeXt is in input langage, which should be able to be converted to the powerfull master XML format. So we need something to convert ConTeXt to XML more than something. I suppose this imply easy convertion to HTML too ! So my question was, is there any exeprience about the use of the ConTeXt module "m-tex4ht"? That might be overkill for small projects (we're currently holding 25 million words in XML), but the principle applies no matter what size of content you have. -- Maurice ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

There are still pb with the behavior of \\ which should be replaced

- TeX is your friend (don't think in LaTeX)
e.g. \matrix command is is a core usefull command, \cr instead of
\\, ...
- \startarray could be the more powerfull ConTeXt command about
mathematiques
can be (and is) use to build some other commands
- but this later command seems to not be embedable in another
\startarray command
and lacks of some documentations (exemples on how to ajust

Re: [NTG-context] Translations of "Context: an excursion"
Le 23 mars 05, à 08:56, Hans Hagen a écrit :
indeed, btw, it will be an interesting challenge to keep translations
in sync
To keep several translations in sync, it should be one and only one
document
reference (english (or french? ;-) )
The worst thing would be if some chapter (e.g. using the standard
amsl/nath
package) were in advance in one translation over some other chapter
("using the standard bib package" or "the prefered TABLE package",
or "context 2 html translation", ...)
Also probably, it would be better to have some uptodate doc witch were
only partialy translated, than having a full but outdated french doc.
Another (long term) remarks/questions:
I think the "Context: an excursion" is the better context doc out there
(seems more practicle for begining than the reference book, for now)
But will be this true in the future ?
- what will contains the future book already mentioned here?
- when could it be expected?
- will the Context reference manuel be updated?
- which context doc will exists 3 years later?
- one (or more?) commercial english context book
- one multitranslation "excursion" free books
- numerous, very specialised "myWay" documents
- if the current "reference manual" book is not to be upgrade
then the "Context: an excursion" will be that.
- a automatic generate reference documentation, based on
the context tex code??
Translating such a documentation is a great (and eavy) job,
but it can't be done without some stategic considerations.

Re: [NTG-context] Re: Using LateX packages => for algorithms
Bonjour à tous ! Le 25 janv. 05, à 22:16, Patrick Gundlach a écrit : Hello Holger, I want to use a LaTeX Package (clrscode), or at least I want to port it to Context. http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~thc/clrscode/ Is there some way to use LaTex Packages (I guess not). No. The low level commands are different in LaTeX and ConTeXt. The named package does not use a lot of unique LaTeX features, so a port shouldn't be too difficult. But as I guess from your question, you are unable to do that, so the question is: who else does the job? And I guess, nobody rises his hand now. See HH answer about a similar request. I think this solution could be the start of your package.

Christmas present ...
Thank you Hans for this present !!
I just had to search the key to open this present,
as I used an old ConTeXt version
So I'm trying to switch to the texlive-2004 distribution
(choosing the GUTenberg installation set)
After some setup (m-bib has changed, ...)
I could try your code and...
*** it does exactly what I need ! ***
Thank you very much !
Just a question.
As you keep calling this environment "\startline" I suppose
it is intended to be a standard option for "\startline"
(which is a great news as I think it is quite usefull for
numerous situations)
But as the new version of context is not yet in the texlive-2004
(or as texlive-2005 is not yet out ;-)
Would it not be a better idea to provide another environnement name
to avoid conflict with the future standard startline environment?
I tried to rename "startlines" to "startLines" with other hack,
but it doesn't seem to be suffisant (but I didn't expect to!).
Any way thank you for the solution !

Exactly, \starttyping does exactly that what you don't want: it

Now is the time for all... (Was: [NTG-context] A simple project.)
Now is the time for all... ... non Context user to be able to use ConTeXt without becomming TeX expert Following the remark from Dirar about finding the last texlive distrib, I think the Context system deserves the right of being a full independant distribution which can be used independently from the other standard xTeX distributions (e.g. TeTeX, Texlive, ..) The mytex system proposed by context is a first step in that direction, but it require a setup that strongly perturbate a concurent use of LaTeX. So, I propose that besides the standard upgrade cont-tmf.zip for context, Pragma propose à **independant** "context" distribution which : 1 - ***doesn't use*** the standard kpath environment variables 2 - anticipate the addition for new architecture (eg. "linux" isn't an architecture name, use "powerpc-linux" instead) What do need ConTeXt for itself ? 1 - an pdfetex (or pdfXXXtex) 2 - some fontes 3 - perl, ruby, tcl, ... 4 - Metapost 5 - the context "TeX macro files" As ConTeXt does improve much frequently than any standard LaTeX distribution, I suggest that it is easier to adapt the ConTeXt system to tetex from time to time (e.g. one time in a year) and becomme free to change the ConTeXt arborescence following the feeling from Hans. So that it will always be possible for a LaTeX user to download a full independant ConTeXt distribution, just source one of the provided setup.sh or setup.csh files, and run either the standard texlive old distribution, or its new dowloaded ConTeXt distribution without conflict. The objective is to had a line such source /xxx/context/setup.sh in my bashrc without worying if I (or other xTeX user) have to do either LaTeX or ConTeXt writing. Le 17 nov. 04, à 00:57, Dirar BOUGATEF a écrit : I am wiling to do so, but i see that Texlive hasn't changed since 2003, and this is already the version i have installed 2 months ago.

So I think that ConTeXt should provide a mean (option in textexec) to make pdf-only version of presentation. Finaly there could be three output levels for pdf presentation : 1 - presentation step using javascript (with allow blinking, merging, zooming or other nice flashing features ;-) 2 - presentation step without javascript (one pdf page by step) => Good format for presentation by foreign pdf reader 3 - pdf file one pdf page for each final step by page => Good format for printing 2up or 4up slides This third output would also allow to print a "slide + comment" version of the presentation for the speacker.

As graph (in the sens nodes + arcs, not curve functions)

- class Arc for connecting nodes.
The goal is that the data (coordinate, various labels, ...)

Also it should be easy to pick the Node and Arc class,

is one of the Metapost lists still alive?
Here is the full exemple (with only 2 nodes)
I don use the inline context feature because it
doesnt work for me, and I have to work on several
workstation, so I still stay (for now) with the indenpendent

I use a separate file for the figure to keep it

node (for now, it is just a circle)
connecting them bu some ncarc connector (using metaObj)
and the put label onto these arc.
I know that one can do that using tree or matrix mataObj
feature, but I'd want to be flexible on the node positions,

[NTG-context] High level user macro (howto?)
Bonjour à tous,
One thing is missing in context (or not documented in reference manual?)
is a standard and easy way to build arbitrary parametrised high level
macros.
For exemple, instead of
\def\myCommand#9{...}
That I should call by
\myCommand{param1}{param2}{...} {param9}
Id'like too keep default value for most of the parameters but param7
and write something like:
\myCommand[param7=value7]{body}
In LaTeX, there is a package keyval for doing this
And context use this everywere, but I haven't seen anything for
a user beeing able to do this.
This is the base for building arbitrary complex user commands with
some defauld behavior, and then, if this personal macro is usefull
enough, building some user contribution library.
As a true exemple, see a latex package I've written some years
ago for drawing uml diagramms whith LaTeX command (using PsTricks).
This file is available at
http://www.ensta.fr/~diam/latex/pst-uml/pst-uml-981218-09h41.tar.gz
(should now be available on CTAN too)
See documents for the samples (in french but the samples are in LaTeX
and
drawing are in "picture" !)
One of the first exemple I'd like is some command to put some little
table as caractere in a line (see that as some personalised box):
start of line
$-$\myStack[border=1ex,baseline=0.5]{
aaa & bbb \\
aaa & bbb \\
aaa & bbb
}$-$
end of line
Or a little command to draw some picture, with default but modifiable
parameters:
$-$\myzigzag[dir=down,linewith=1pt,color=red,with=3\em]$-$
Using Metafun.
Cordialement,
-- Maurice

Bonjour à tous, I'm sorry for my bad english, I hope there is not to much semantical mistakes. About math, biblio and context2html missing features mentionned in previous discussion, some poeples talk about standard document writing, I dont't think every body need to write chimical formula, but there is a powerfull ConTeXt extension to do it, so it's not a valid argument to not accept a math package in the ConTeXt distribution. The raison I tried ConTeXt is to test it for a full replacement for LaTeX. I know that ConTeXt is not finished, and some fonctionnalties could be add or corrected later. I also know that such a task is not feasable by only one person (even by Hans :-) So the only way to make this project realisable is to get (stole :-) guru from LaTeX community to ConTeXt.

For this, one need: 1 - a clear polilical objective for context, 2 - the way (or path, or mean?) adopted for reaching it, 3 - the adapted developpement model, 4 - some (elastical) roadmap. As I said, I see ConTeXt as a (potencial) full replacement for LaTeX. I've writen a technical slide presentation and an article like document (20 pages) for testing that. I succeded (with some work) But for now, I can't encourage a student for begining with ConTeXt instead of LaTeX. On the other side, I (one) can't use both ConTeXt **and** LaTeX for doing things: I have to choose only one. So the answer to these previous questions will very important for the choice.

No, there isn't - there are lots of books on different levels, most of them keep errors or describe old or obsolete packages or techniques. Yes, there is some reference books LateX from Lamport A guide to Latex 2e ... which all are **suffisant** to do complete scientific documents - mathematiques (not mathxml, which has never be done for beeing written by hand!) - biblio (m-bib) The latex reference book is very small because it does't describe any extension. A ConTeXt reference book would be much like an uptodate cont-eni.pdf manual. It would be comparable to the couple "LaTeX Lamport + Latex Compagnon" For me, some of the top documentations are : gettingStartWithContext LaTeXtoContext.pdf refcontextbook (alias cont-eni for the 8.3 system) metafun-s.pdf the m-bib module and its doc the m-nath module and its doc up-004.p.pdf for table But the reference cont-eni.pdf doesn't talk about math nor biblio. Also there is several means to do tables, and it seams that the two main context reference documents (gettingStart and cont-eni.pdf) doesn't talk about the same table system. Morever, neither of them talk about the last most supported table system which seams to be enattab.pdf!! And every latex package has its own docs that you should read - some are books itself (e.g. komascript). Doen't know about it, doen't need it, so I'm glab it is not in the latex manuals :-) So there's a lot more in the "basic" ConTeXt manual than in most LaTeX books! Sure, it could always be more & better... I agree that the whole plethora of single docs isn't really overviewable. But otherwise they're a nice demonstration of ConTeXt's capabilities - and I guess Hans meant them to be. It's a good thing that additive fonctionnalities, or full reference of specialised features are not included in the standard manual, I've never asked that the metafun book should be include in the contextbook! I think the simplest thing to do is a to make a lite introduction documentation for use as a guide about which docs should be seen as reference (which table to use, how to to biblio, ...) Also, I think yet that a litly modified version of the contextbook.pdf, by adding the new table, nath and biblio module, should be sufficiant for most peoples. A year ago, I thought that context could become the real "latex3" project, But now, I think that the context is missing for some universities support (latex developpers, user documentation for students, ...). An uptodate documentation could help! Cordialement, -- Maurice ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Secondly be aware, that the software runs under Linux and under Cygwin. Hm, perhaps it would be possible to use some MusicTeX version? AFAIK that's based on PlainTeX and could be compatible I think there VERY much more work about lilypond that about Musi*TeX. Also Lilipond has a modern approch and has a very good (*TeX) documentation. From http://lilypond.org/web/about/faq.html Will run on my computer? LilyPond is written for Unix, so it should run on any modern Unix variant, including Linux/GNU and MacOS X. There is also a MS Windows port, which uses the Cygwin environment. About other format: We have the following requirements: • the format must use ASCII, • it must be concise enough to type by hand, • it must have a concise formal specification, • it must be expressive enough to support many types of notation and printed formats. We believe that none of the existing formats address all these requirements. For example, MusicXML cannot be typed by hand, DARMS is limited in its application, ABC has no strict formal definition, and NIFF is binary. Nevertheless, this does not restrict you for using those formats: there are filters that convert from various formats to .ly Also there is some converter from lilypond to xml So instead of Hans restarting a new Music Notation project, Hans should make lilypond team using Context instead of LaTeX ;-) Also I noted that : - Lilypond is NOT a TeX macro, it only seems to be a dedicated (powerfull) subset of TeX (but allow input of TeX macro) - Lilypond make use of TeX for page breaking and other stuff So How to use Lilypond with ConTeXt? 1 - use Lilypond as an independant tool for building short (less or equal to one page) as pdf figure and include them in context as external figure (that is the way I'll do, because I'm not clever enought to do much more :-) 2 - make Lilypond team understand how ConTeXt is much more interesting as automatic formatic tool for creating pdf than LaTeX is! 3 - Allow using lilypond inside ConTeXt with \startmusic \stopmusic I think this method would be much like typesetting chimical Hans has not to be developping a nex package, just using one that already exist Also I think Lilipond could interest much more people that the only short xTeX poeple user. But Lilipond in not as easy to install (to many LaTeX dependancy). So the Lilypond tead could be interested by the new future alternative ConTeXt-live CDROM distribution ;-) ConTeXt-live (alias LaTeX-3: the only "nothing to install" TeX based type system that allow to do : - Mathematical, - graphical (Metapost), - Chimical, - Musical hight quality pdf documentation or web based presentation!!! P.S. I don't (yet) use Lilypond, but I looked after some text based Music notation for my wife. I thought first to MusixTex (too eavy, too old) then the abc format (which could be import as ps/pdf figure), then I found that lilypond was closely related to TeX.

Also the standard tetex distribution provided with fink (on MacOSX-10.3) did'n work for me (some itemize bug), and I had to install the texlive distribution. The texlive is very nice because it is complete. But it is very heavy (only the demo version old on a single CD-ROM : the full texlive take 1.2 Go and need a DVD !) Why is texlive so big ? Because it contains all old stuff that any LaTeX/TeX distribution should contain to be compatible with every TeX based document from the last few decade ;-) - every package which was ever able to do multicols - every package which allows to do clever table - every package which allows to do verbatim, ... But ConTeXt is an independant, modern TeX based distribution (even if it don't (yet) know about simple html :-).

This would also make much easier to give acces to context to beginer (without the need of texmf experience).
