Re: [NTG-context] Stange behavior of \startluacode

Hello,
my observation:

\startluacode
a = 10
context(a)
-- a = 20
context(a)
\stopluacode

- works OK, 'AAA', '10' and '10' (*) is printed.
If I modify the code:

\startluacode
a = 10

context(a)
\stopluacode

- I get an error:

So it seems to me that '--' works fine to start a comment but '%' doesn't (?).

Re: [NTG-context] Verbatim text loaded from a file? (reduced attachments)
(I doubled this message to reduce size of attachments. Although the t.pdf.png
is not very good, I believe it's enough to imagine proportions of letter height
vs. line height and line number vs. letter [used for typing] height.)
... I keep on trying. I applied all your previous advice. But I still don't get
everything I'd need. There's a sample attached.

\starttext
AAA
\bgroup
\setuplinenumbering[style={\small\boldslanted}]
\typefile[xFn]{Data.txt}
\egroup
BBB
\stoptext
---
Problems are:
- The space between lines should be smaller. If I select two lines in AR, I can
see a gap between them. So at least, I'd like to omit this gap.
Compare ListFile.pdf (- Ctx) to t.pdf (- LaTeX, which I was used to use).
I don't know how to change it - whether via \setuptyping or how.
(At wiki, there are descriptions for command parameters missing ((i/v/c)command), and some of
them are mentioned twice (space, page).)
- - Or to use (i/v/c)command somehow?
- - Or the new line height should be changed by \setupbodyfont?
- I tried \setuplinenumbering as well. It works somehow like I'd need, but if
you look at ListFile.pdf, you'll see settings are lost when a new page starts
(?).
Any idea how to get closer look of ListFile.pdf to t.pdf? (I mean just line
height and the manner how lines are numbered.)
Thank you for patience.

[NTG-context] Line height for smaller fonts. (Migrating from LaTeX to ConTeXt:) forcing new line and new page
Hello, let's have the following example: --- \starttext \tt \input tufte \hairline \tfx \input tufte \hairline \tfxx \input tufte \stoptext --- When I look at the result, I see the smaller font the bigger gap between lines (or this may be taken as line height relative to letter height). As I would need to type many datafiles, it's important for me to reduce line height, even if readability of the text becomes a bit worse. Is it possible to achieve this anyhow? Another question: How to force new line and new page to start? - LaTeX provides \newline, \newpage\ linebreak and \pagebreak commands - see e.g. http://www.personal.ceu.hu/tex/breaking.htm. Does ConTeXt provide similar commands? Or how to achieve this? Regards, Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:l...@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.

[NTG-context] Verbatim text loaded from a file?
Hello, I'd need to show contents of a (text) file like verbatim text (with a monospace font). So to do something being described at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Verbatim_text using \startcode SOME TEXT \stop code, but the difference is that I don't need to write SOME TEXT manually but I need to load it from a (text) file. Moreover, I'd need to have the following options: - To alter the font used for numbering lines, so that it would be smaller than the normal text. - To specify number of the first and/or last line to be printed. - The input file may contain the end-of-page character, \0C. So I'd need this char - to be ignored - and/or to force printing from a new page. Is there a ConTeXt command which would provide all above? (NB: When I worked with LaTeX, these features were mostly provided by \VerbatimInput command from fancyvrb package.) Kind regards, Lukáš -- Ing.

[NTG-context] Lua MP
Hello, is it possible that Lua gets value of a MetaPost variable? Let's have MetaPost code: z11=(0,0) z12=(1,1) z21=(0,1) z22=(1,0) aa[z11,z12]=bb[21,z22] So now aa = bb = 0.5.

Hi,
besides that what Luigi wrote, I'd recommend the Lua users wiki. Don't take everything there as
perfect or the official way, as it is just a users wiki, like our wiki.
http://lua-users.org/wiki/
Hello,
I'd say there is no universal naming convention.
For example I found local variables written with upper case
(http://lua-users.org/wiki/AsciiMenu) (local DASHES = string.rep('-', 80)) -
it is not very common in programming to name local variables with upper case.
But in this case -
- it was probably to mark the variable as CONSTANT (as Lua doesn't have const
keyword like C, where uppercase names are generally used for macros as constants or
enums).
So:
- namespaces (modules) are generally named with lowercase names
('mynamespace.') (like in C? 'std::', 'boost::'),
- variables are generally named with lowercase names ('_' may be used inside,
so we get 'myvar' or 'my_var')
- - constants with uppercase? (local PFX = '#'?) May be.
- - global variables? One may prefer prefixing such variables somehow, so we get
'_my_pfx' (or '_MyPfx' or '_myPfx')? (In C/Cpp, personally I use the 'g' prefix and camel
notation, so I get 'gMyVar', opposite to all other vars with lowercase names like
'my_inner_var'.) But if a variable is to be global, it's better to encapsulate it to a
namespace; thus mark of globality in the name gets unnecessary as we access
the variable like 'mynamespace.var' (it's obvious the variable is global for that
namespace).
- functions? Naming like 'thisIsMyFunction()' (camel convention) is quite often, but one
may prefer C-like naming ('this_is_my_function()' - so like internal variables?) or
TeX convention ('thisismyfunction()') (natural to standard function, so we
don't have 'string:g_sub()' or 'string:gSub()' but 'string:gsub()').
I'd say this to a wider discussion. You may get inspired from existing code as
Patrick wrote, or e.g. to have a look into .lua scripts in ctx minimals.

Re: [NTG-context] Custom lua script (updating and debugging)
Hello, I have also the experience that when the Lua file is placed where the LUA_PATH system variable points (or: see the documentation how exactly LUA_PATH works), than I can use the 'require' command and the Lua file will be found.

Re: [NTG-context] Drawing a diagram
Hello, sorry for probably a silly question, but - how to get to e.g. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Flow_Charts; from the http://wiki.contextgarden.net;? I really cannot find the link which leads to http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Flow_Charts;, even if I listed all hyperlinks from http://wiki.contextgarden.net;. Maybe a site map at http://wiki.contextgarden.net would be useful - but maybe I'm the only who suffers by inability to find the right link.

Re: [NTG-context] ConTeXt name/branding
Hello, my opinion is that ConTeXt including capitalization of some preselected letters is OK. Imagine - how new mode of work brings ConTeXt (and other TeX family) to someone who knows only or has been working with Word before! If it's to much to someone to remember correct ConTeXt writing (or to use \context macro - I never used it before, so I'm not sure whether such a macro exists; if it doesn't, it might be useful to define it; like \LaTeX in LaTeX), than it's probable one will not want to see-through the whole typesetting system (and more, ConTeXt may be a bit simpler for usage than LaTeX) and to learn how to typeset in this system (as he may be used to click an icon by mouse to get the required operation). Also - if someone sees ConTeXt written, he may ask why some letters are capitalized. Especially seeing TeX should be preserved as it demonstrates relation to TeX; first letter uppercase (C) is common in (majority) of program names; and thus I'd keep the whole ConTeXt as I feel it as a mark. Please take all above as my personal opinion; I don't like to touch anyone's point of view.

Re: [NTG-context] Which packages?
... OK, thanks to all for the answers.
I'll keep on trying.

A lot of ConTeXt experts do not know what LaTeX packages do. You'll
usually get a faster response by describing the desired functionality
rather than option name from LaTeX.
It would seem like the option you need is there, but it doesn't seem
to work. There are some examples is ConTeXt source:
\setuptyping[file][numbering=file]
\starttext
\typefile[start=2,nlines=3]{zapf}
\typefile[start=3,step=2]{zapf}
\stoptext
But they neither work properly in mkii nor in mkiv (a different bug in each).
and pdfpages (\includepdf} + pages=...
LaTeX packages; what's the equivalent for them in ConTeXt?
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Including_pages_from_PDF_document
Is there a place where to study module/package
similarities/equivalences?
Apart for the page mentioned by Wolfgang, probably not. Usually people
ask on the list if some functonality is missing. Many packages are not
needed since the same functionality is offered by ConTeXt core.
Some external modules offer very special functionality (like lilypond,
gnuplot, vim, games, r ...), some offer simplified approach to methods
that are otherwise doable with more effort (simplefonts, simpleslides,
...), some offer support for non-standard fonts, ...

[NTG-context] Which packages?
Hello, I'm new to ConTeXt; I've been working with LaTeX but I'd like to try ConTeXt due to some reasons. The question is - - is there a manual, web site or something where comparison of LaTeX/ConTeXt packages/modules would be done? I'm interested how to include a part of a text file and how to insert some pages of another .pdf file. Normally I was using the fancyvrb (\VerbatimInput) + option firstline=... and lastline=... respectively and pdfpages (\includepdf} + pages=... LaTeX packages; what's the equivalent for them in ConTeXt? Is there a place where to study module/package similarities/equivalences? Thank you in advance.
