CSV, alpha 2 ;)
by Mojca Miklavec 19 Jul '06

Hello, Hans and Taco (once you're back), http://pub.mojca.org/tex/csv/ has the new version of the documentation for the database module, but it's still a bit buggy. Please forget about "feature requests" at the end of the document, they're there just for the guidelines about what could also be useful. There are still some bugs appearing (problems with UTF were introduced recently); a funny thing is also that if I redefine the font encoding to be EC instead of texnansi (I don't understand why texnansi is used by deafault, but I don't really mind), the resulting characters in "Taco's mode" are different (wrong in both cases anyway). "Hans's mode" doesn't compile if utf-8 characters are present. The following definition has to be fixed: \def\setupseparatedlist {\dodoubleempty\dosetupseparatedlist} \def\dosetupseparatedlist[#1][#2]% {\getparameters[\??ls#1][#2]} And if you manage to figure out what's going wrong with \showsetups{startseparatedlistname} \showsetups{processseparatedfile} and with the very last example with TSV, I would be very grateful as well. These are probably my mistakes somewhere, but I don't know where I did a (probably stupid little) mistake. What's the default behaviour with \inmargin inside \placefloat? I guess that that is or should be forbidden, but how can I place something "marginal" next to the float? (I have some other "\marginal" questions, but that's a topic for another mail.) Mojca

alpha release

I uploaded an alpha with the discussed patches - math - module - font fix (we need to figure out a name scheme for the additional setup files, maybe math-ext-en.xml and alike) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Taco had implemented two of my requests i) style=\textstyle or \displaystyle for matrix and ii) location=top|bottom for matrix. I think that these can be added to the core. However, I am not sure about the notation. I had requested for location=top|bottom (thinking in Latex terms) but I now think that the Context way to name it is low|high. Taco had also provided a bugfix for breaking multiline formula across pages. There are some minor glitches with it. Taco, do you have time to look into those? Aditya

setup: defineinteractionmenu
by Patrick Gundlach 15 Jul '06

Hi there, while looking at a "next generation" texshow-web, I came across two defineinteractionmenu definitions in cont-en.xml with variant=1 (one should be 2). Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki and more: http://contextgarden.net

[Fwd: [NTG-context] tracingmacros]
by Taco Hoekwater 14 Jul '06

14 Jul '06

Hi, We can't do what Hans asks right now, but it may be worthwhile to add a new if statement in some locations to support this (a similar issue is present for the output routine). If we have \newif\iftracingfonts Then maybe we can do \def\synchronizefont% {\iftracingfonts\else \tracingnone \fi ........ } or something similar is possible. WDYT? -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [NTG-context] tracingmacros Date: Fri, 14 Jul 2006 12:25:51 +0200 From: Hans van der Meer <hansm(a)science.uva.nl> Reply-To: mailing list for ConTeXt users <ntg-context(a)ntg.nl> To: NTG ConTeXt <ntg-context(a)ntg.nl> Usually I employ \tracingmacros=1 in order to find nasty problems in my macros. Font operations then produce a lot of noise in the log. Is it possible to shutdown these selectively? Hans van der Meer

Re: [dev-context] [NTG-context] sample={99}

David Arnold wrote: > All, > > Was I surprised to find that my numbering went to multiples of 2 when > I added the option sample={99}. Is this a bug? Yes, a bug. The local logic in core-des.tex (\@@dostartdescription) is not taking into account trial typesetting runs, so the counter is typeset twice and incremented twice: first for the 'sampled' measuring, then for 'real'. Patched version diff in attachment. Cheers, taco

Re: [dev-context] [NTG-context] Problems with columnsets and \startbackground \stopbackground

I do not think anything is in the manual, it is one of those situations that grow over time: there are perceived limits in a specific solution (like \startbackgrounds) so Hans writes an alternate subsystem (like \starttextbackgrounds) that slowly becomes powerful enough to take over the original. The documentation is normally not updated until 100% of the old functionality is available in the new subsystem. A page with 'deprecated / outdated' commands on the wiki would certainly be helpful, I agree with that. (CC context dev list) Taco

another textext distraction
by Mojca Miklavec 26 Jun '06

26 Jun '06

Hello Hans, before I forget: yes, plese remove the semicolon in \def\sometxt in meta-tex.tex if you didn't already. (Unless you see some special reason why it should be left there.) And then: while trying to convince David to drop the usage of "btex ... etex" I tried (something like) this: \startMPinclusions def something = draw textext("abc"); % guess what! draw (btex def etex) shifted (0,5mm); enddef; \stopMPinclusions \starttext \startMPcode something; \stopMPcode \stoptext But it's probably up to you to convince him about that now - I ran out of ideas. I thought that nothing could go wrong any more ;) Mojca
