I deleted all temp files, but still get “Hagen” before “Eijkhout”.

[NTG-context] tolerance and whitespace settings inside a TEXpage
Hi,
inside a TEXpage the tolerance and the whitespace settings are not
applied. The whitespace can be set in a setup and the tolerance can
be set directly with \spaceskip, but that seems a bit hackish.
Is that intended and is there a cleaner solution? Example:
\setuplayout [width=8cm]
\setupbodyfont [mono]
\startsetups [myset]
\setupwhitespace [big]
\setuptolerance [space]
\stopsetups
\setups{myset}
\starttext
\startTEXpage [setups=myset]
%% \spaceskip .5em plus .25em minus .25em
\input knuth

\input knuth

\define overwrites existing commands with pleasure. In contrast to
\def it prints a message to the log file: “\mycommand is already
defined”.

Thanks a lot for that. I'd adjust the interface, so that it matches
the behaviour of \in:
\def\inrange
{\dodoublegroupempty\doinrange}
\def\doinrange#left#right#dummy[#label]
{\iffirstargument
{#left }%%
\fi
\ctxlua{userdata.inwithranges("#label")}%%
\ifsecondargument
{#right}%%
\fi}
Then you can write:
See \inrange{figures} [fig:a,fig:c,fig:d,fig:e,fig:g,fig:x,fig:h]
See \inrange{figures}{TT} [fig:a,fig:c,fig:d,fig:e,fig:g,fig:x,fig:h]
See \inrange [fig:a,fig:c,fig:d,fig:e,fig:g,fig:x,fig:h]
Maybe worth mentioning: You need the additional module
`showtable.lua` from http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.context/78336

[NTG-context] Wrong results for chemical structures and reactions

The spacing is still wrong. Compare:
\starttext
\chemical{2H_2,+,O_2,->,2H_2O}\blank
\startchemicalformula
\chemical{2H_2}
\chemical{PLUS}
\chemical{O_2}

How to mid-align the reaction? Wrapping the \startchemicalformula in
\startformula works, but it's clumsy.

If you redo the syntax: My suggestion would be to try to reduce the
use of the string “chemical” if that's feasible.

That looks more practical.

To refer to a table, you place it as a float and use the
`reference=tab:alphatable` key. Then in the text you refer to the
table, see \in{table}[tab:alphatable].

Yes. \placefigure is the old syntax. \start…\stopplacefigure the new
one. The new one uses a the key=value syntax also present in other MkIV
commands. Compare:
\startplacefigure [title=Lorem, reference=fig:lorem]
…
\stopplacefigure
\startchapter [title=Lorem, reference=sec:lorem]
…
\stopchapter
They are both supported, I personally stick to the new variant. I
find the interface much more memorable.

At the moment it's a pure Lua solution. It's divided into two parts. The first part is the database update, Lua runs context on the tests and writes the results to a database (a Lua table stored in a file). For the second part context is run on the database to generate the report from the database.

To indent the first line you can use
\setupindenting [yes, 2cm]
That, however, is not configurable. And frankly I've never seen
varying paragraph indentations in a document. If you really need it
you can build a wrapper around this.

I already noted that. I appreciate the movement to a more uniform
\start…\stop syntax.
Just a random thought: Would it be possible or even make sense to
uniform the syntax even further and maybe merge the functionality
into \startalignment? At the moment we have one command with an
argument for alignments:
\startalignment [right|middle|left]
\input knuth
\stopalignment
however three different command for boxed alignments (furthermore,
\startrightaligned works just the opposite of \startalignment[right]):
\startrightaligned
FooBar
\stoprightaligned
\startmidaligned
FooBar
\stopmidaligned
\startleftaligned
FooBar
\stopleftaligned
This might be easy to remember for us who still know the
\midaligned{} syntax, but I guess for new users it's confusing.
Additionally, the difference between the commands is unclear. What
about an interface like this:
\startlinealignment [right|middle|left]
FooBar
\stoplinealignment
Taking this one step further would be to merge both into one
command:
\startalignment [align=left, alternative=???]
\input knuth
\stopalignment
\startalignment [align=left, alternative=!!!]
FooBar
\stopalignment

You can either trigger on the language or on the mode. The directory
structure looks like this
text/en/alpha.tex
text/en/beta.tex
text/de/alpha.tex
text/de/beta.tex
images/en
images/de
You can create the individual files as components and create a
product file:
\startproduct *
\mainlanguage [de]
\project [project]
\component [a]
\component [b]
\stopproduct
and a project file:
\startproject *
\startmode [*en]
\usepath
[text/en]
\setupexternalfigures
[directory={images/en}]
\stopmode
\startmode [*de]
\usepath
[text/de]
\setupexternalfigures
[directory={images/de}]
\stopmode
\stopproject
To trigger by language, you use *en, *de, etc. To trigger by mode,
you use the mode name, in that case you can move the \mainlanguage
call to the corresponding language setup.

FreeBSD comes without bash installed by default. The point is that it's easy for shell scripts like first-setup.sh that can easily declare the shell in the she-bang line. But setuptex cannot start a new well-defined shell since it's supposed to modify the current environment. That's why setuptex is sourced instead of executed. That however implies that setuptex has to conform to the current shell, which is unknown and needs to be guessed without relying on anything the shell might not provide.

[NTG-context] Highlight current chapter in list
Hi!
How do I highlight the current chapter in the table of contents? The
TOC is displayed on each page. For illustration I misused the
interaction colour, which of course only works for the first page of
a chapter.
\setupheadertexts
[\setups{headlist}]
\startsetups [headlist]
\framed[align=normal, frame=off]
{\placelist [chapter] [alternative=f, criterium=all]}
\stopsetups
\setupinteraction
[state=start,
color=lightgray,
contrastcolor=darkgreen]
\starttext
\startchapter [title=alpha] \stopchapter
\startchapter [title=beta] \page\input knuth \stopchapter

I like the flexibility of renderingsetups for \defineheadalternative,
but frankly, I didn't know they can be used for lists as well and
I was clueless about the best place to hook into.

With the start…stop syntax you can easily apply different options to
the individual structure elements or add additional information. The
\chapter syntax is less verbose but less flexible. But it has at
least one caveat that I know: The insidesection key of \setuphead
does not work.
> Other than the source code, is there anything that lists the keys for

Keys that I know about:
\startchapter[
label=...,
title=...,
marking=...,
list=...,
bookmark=...,
reference=... ]
\stopchapter
You can also add an additional pair of brackets with custom
settings:
\startchapter
[title={First chapter}]
[foo=bar]
\stopchapter
In the setups this information is accessible as:
\structureuservariable{foo}
> It's not documented in even the most recent command reference.

Re: [NTG-context] Presets in collectors
2012-11-10 Wolfgang Schuster:
> The collector macros aren’t based on layers.
I don't know why I thought they were.
What is the correct way to place a collector mid aligend underneath another? I
manage to place them underneath left aligned using
location={right, bottom}, corner=bottom
and mid aligned as in the example below. However, I prefer not to adjust
the distance manually.
\setupbodyfont [12pt]
\definecollector
[mycollector]
\setcollector
[mycollector]
{\framed[align=normal]{\input khatt-en\par}}
%% this is the desired output, but without the manual adjustment
\setcollector
[mycollector]
[location=bottom,
corner=middle,
%% voffset=.5\layerheight, %% no effect
voffset=.8cm]
{\framed[width=5cm,align=normal]{\input ward\par}}
\flushcollector [mycollector]
\starttext\null\stoptext
Intuitively I would expect the following to work, but I guess the `middle`
syntax is not supported or I am using it in the wrong way.
\setcollector
[mycollector]
[corner={middle, bottom},
location={middle, bottom}]
{\framed[width=5cm,align=normal]{\input ward\par}}

I assume the OP was looking for a way to convert a counter to the
corresponding English word:
\defineconversion
[words]
[One, Two, Three, Four, Five]
\definecounter [mycount]
\setupcounter [mycount] [numberconversion=words]
\starttext
\dorecurse{5}{%%
\incrementcounter [mycount]
\convertedcounter [mycount]}
\stoptext
Maybe there is a conversion built-in that does this automatically
without having to define the words yourself.

location=none works here:
\startplacefigure [location=none]
Let's put some text of at least two lines.
\stopplacefigure
> But even if the latter one would work, having a caption (or not)

The first argument of `location` determines the location of the
figure, the second one the location of the caption. If only one
argument is provided, it is used for both. So the following
statements have the same effect.
\startplacefigure [location={none, none}]
Let's put some text of at least two lines.
\stopplacefigure
\startplacefigure [location=none]
Let's put some text of at least two lines.
\stopplacefigure
That's the reason why the figure in your second example is not
placed in the margin.

There is the vim module. It uses the editor vim to mark up the
source with syntax highlighting code. However, it does only
highlighting, not indentation. But it might be possible to hook in
an auto-indenter or a formatter like `astyle`. Here's an example:

EFM_ASSERT((banks & ~(EBI_BANK0 | EBI_BANK1 | EBI_BANK2 | EBI_BANK3)) == 0);
/* Configure byte lane support for each selected bank */
if (banks & EBI_BANK0)

Quotations are defined as delimited text, see
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupdelimitedtext
That means, you can use the style key as follows:
\setupdelimitedtext
[quotation]
[style=sans]
If you defined sans to be Helvetica, that's all you need, but this
depends on you document setup. You can also use \switchtobodyfont.
\setupdelimitedtext
[quotation]
[style={\switchtobodyfont[helvetica]}]

You can place individual chapters in components and use the mode

\startproduct *
\startmodeset
[alpha] {\component [alpha]}
[beta] {\component [beta]}
[gamma] {\component [gamma]}
\stopmodeset
\stopproduct
Then compile with `context --mode=alpha,gamma main.tex`.

AFAIK useMPgraphic is always recalculated, reusableMPgraphic never
is. uniqueMPgraphic takes the size into account and recalculates if
the graphic dimensions change. If I recall correctly this is
mentioned somewhere in the MetaFun manual. But I agree, all these
commands for including MP graphics are confusing, given the fact
that one can survive pretty well with only useMPgraphic. I attached
a small example to show the difference.

Thanks for pointing that out. I will have a look into my code again.
I was (and actually I still am) confused by the different shading
methods provided by MetaFun. I admit that I never read the PDF
reference which means that I don't know the shading internals. I
experimented a little and came up with a working solution to add
some eye-candy to presentations.
> And to repeat myself: there is nothing wrong with bitmaps.
I agree. Even Knuth designed his fonts as bitmaps (at least the
output is a bitmap). However, bitmaps always have a fixed size and
thus are not scalable.

ACK
And thanks for this nice module and especially for the well-written

Referring to the figures is messed up:

\stopplacefigure

For the moment I would actually be happy with a workaround to get
the numbers right. With autoreorder the referencing is wrong,
without autoreorder the float numbers are not in order.

Maybe this can be adapted for (non-circular) ornaments as well, which could be used for text decorations. It would make for a nice module.

[NTG-context] Error markers for invalid section references
Hi, in the final stage of a document I always run a grep for ?? and on the document to find invalid references and missing bibliography entries. However, in documents that do not have a section number the references to the number are also wrong, they need to be references to the name instead of the number. In this case no error marker is printed and AFAIK not even a hint in the log file. The correct way is to use \about instead of \in. Here's an example: \setuphead [section] [number=no] \starttext \startsectionlevel [title=Alpha] See section \in[invalid]. \par %% prints ?? See section \in[sec:bar]. \par %% prints nothing See section \about[sec:bar]. %% correct reference \startsectionlevel [title=Foo] \stopsectionlevel \startsectionlevel [title=Bar, reference=sec:bar] \stopsectionlevel \stopsectionlevel \stoptext The wrong \in[invalid] reference receives an easy to find error marker and an entry in the log file. The wrong entry \in[sec:bar] is hard to find. Is there a way to add ?? for those cases as well?

I love that one. Very impressive, indeed! Although my browser flickers for about 20s until it eventually starts, but that might just be my flash player. Thanks for providing such nice animations. I can't wait for the next one.

[NTG-context] Place an annotation before it is defined
Hi, what is the best solution to place the content of annotations before they are defined in the text? What comes to mind is writing the content into an external file and read it in the next run. But maybe I overcomplicate things (usually I do) and there's a simpler solution. Here's an example: \usemodule [annotation] \defineannotation [myannotation] \setupannotation [myannotation] [alternative=myalternative] \defineannotationalternative [myalternative] [renderingsetup=annotation:myalternative] \startsetups [annotation:myalternative] Content: \placeannotationcontent \stopsetups \starttext %% The annotation content should be placed here. \input ward \blank %% Although it is defined later \startmyannotation \input knuth \stopmyannotation \stoptext Marco signature.asc Description: Digital 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] Make annotations tolerant against empty lines
Hi, if the first line after an annotation start is empty, a new line is introduced. How can I make it tolerant so that the following both examples come out equal (Content and the annotation text on the same line)? \usemodule [annotation] \defineannotation [myannotation] \setupannotation [myannotation] [alternative=myalternative] \defineannotationalternative [myalternative] [renderingsetup=annotation:myalternative] \startsetups [annotation:myalternative] Content: \placeannotationcontent \stopsetups \starttext \startmyannotation \input knuth \stopmyannotation \blank \startmyannotation \input knuth \stopmyannotation \stoptext Marco signature.asc Description: Digital 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 ___

Test: \defineblock [bar] \starttext buf: \getbuffer[foo] BBB \startbuffer[foo] buf: AAA \stopbuffer \useblocks [bar] DDD \beginbar block: CCC \endbar \stoptext Is there a reason why the blocks favour begin/end instead of start/stop?

Blocks, in contrast to buffers, seem to be able to place content before it is defined. I did not check how they work, but since I didn't see any temporary files, the only possibility is to write the data to the tuc file, I assume. It is by any chance possible to provide a “method=block”?

Two-pass data is always wrong the first run. In the worst case, it needs an additional run if text moves around too much. But since it's just another method, which is optional, this only applies if it's activated and then the user knows what he/she is doing and that it might be slower. > I can consider it as a optional method. I think it would be a nice feature. It enables placement of elements where they logically belong, instead of where they are supposed to be printed. It's nothing mission critical though, but you can keep it in mind for a rainy afternoon.
