\executesystemcommand dont work?
by Akira Kakuto 17 Feb '15

17 Feb '15

Dear Jaroslav, See your PATH carefully. For example I find a space between C:\1da\support\batch; and C:\Ruby\bin;C:\Windows\system32 i.e., C:\1da\support\batch; C:\Ruby\bin;C:\Windows\system32 There are many such spaces which should be removed. I think quotations such as "C:\Program Files (x86)\ghostgum\gsview" should be removed like C:\Program Files (x86)\ghostgum\gsview Best, Akira

setup different layouts in merged documents
by Pablo Rodriguez 17 Feb '15

17 Feb '15

Dear list, I have the following sample: \setuplayout[margin=20mm, width=fit, topspace=45mm, bottomspace=25mm,height=fit] \showframe \definelayout[first][margin=20mm, width=fit, topspace=110mm, bottomspace=20mm, height=fit] \usemodule[scancsv] \starttext \startbuffer[text-content] \definelayer[FirstLayer][state=start] \setlayer[FirstLayer]{First page} \definelayer[OtherLayer][state=continue] \setlayer[OtherLayer]{Other pages} \setupbackgrounds[page][background={FirstLayer,OtherLayer}] %~ \mbox{}\blank[75mm] \dorecurse{17}{\input zapf\par} \cA\hfill \cB \page \stopbuffer \opencsvfile{mail.csv} \doloop{\ifnotEOF\getbuffer[text-content]\nextrow\else\exitloop\fi} %OK \stoptext Contents of mail.csv: "ME";11/10/14 "You";05/02/14 "She";03/03/12 "It";03/03/14 t-scancsv.lua can be found at http://public.hajtmar.com/files/TeX/context/t-scancsv_ConTeXt_module/t-scan…. It is an awesome module for document merging. I’m having a problem that I don’t know how to solve. Each merged document has different layers for the first and other pages. But I don’t know how to set a different layout for the first page in each merged document. I have tried three options. 1. \definelayout[first] only works for the first page in document, not for each merged document. 2. \definelayout[even] and \definelayout[odd] work as long as each merged document contains less than three pages. Otherwise, it won’t work. 3. Adding an \mbox{}\blank[75mm] would do the job, but it’s a crappy way to work with ConTeXt (and it might lead to errors in the future). Is there a way to apply different layouts in the first and other pages in each merged document from the sample above? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

No escape to TeX for inline typing?
by Christoph Reller 17 Feb '15

Hi, How do I escape to TeX from inside an inline typing command? It works fine from a typing environment. MWE: \setuptyping[TEX][escape={[[,]]}] \definetype[typeTEX][option=TEX] \starttext \startTEX \I\can [[\em escape]] \stopTEX \typeTEX{\I\cannot [[\em escape]]} \stoptext Thank you for any feedback!

Dear Jaroslav, > I tested path settings, but it seems it is OK > (c:\windows\system32 is in my PATH) Sorry for my mistake. Very difficult problem!! % latex.tex \documentclass{article} \begin{document} \immediate\write18{echo "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"} \end{document} should print ... ... No file latex.aux. "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" (./latex.aux) ) No pages of output. Transcript written on latex.log. for pdflatex --shell-escape latex Best, Akira

> No file latex.aux. > (./latex.aux) ) > No pages of output. OK, as I said previously, c:\windows\system32 does not exist in your PATH. In your command prompt echo "000" will work, but cmd /c echo "000" will not work. Please test in your command prompt set PATH=c:\windows\system32;%PATH% pdflatex --shell-escape latex It should work perfectly. After that, repair the PATH variable, by reading the manual of OS, if you don't understand. Thanks, Akira

XML - some troubles
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 17 Feb '15

Hello, suppose having: ---- t.xml <a> <aa number="111">AA</aa> <ab>AB</ab> </a> ---- and the Ctx source: ---- t.mkiv \startxmlsetups xml:T \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{*}{+} % \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{*}{-} % Empties output?! \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{a/ab}{xml:*} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:ab \section{New section \xmlatt{#1/../aa}{number}} \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:T} \starttext Hello \xmlprocessfile{id}{t.xml}{} \stoptext ---- Some questions: 1) Why the line "\xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{*}{-}" (try to uncomment!) causes the whole output is empty, even if I specify another operation for "a/ab" elements later? My intention is to have "{*}{-}" (don't flush anything by default), excluding elements specified later, e.g. "a/ab" (with another operation specified); how to achieve this? 2) How to get "aa.number" from within "ab" element? I believed "\xmlatt{#1/../aa}{number}" within "a/ab" will do that, but...? How to do that? Thank you in advance; I'm not very familiar with Ctx XML processing (so far)... Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

Dear Jaroslav, > Does anyone know how to fix it? > I'm not ConTeXt expert and I'm not Windows expert too. I don't know a reason, but ... Very rare case: c:\windows\system32 is erased from your PATH by an accident, so cmd.exe cannot be found by luatex. Please check the PATH variable on your system. Thanks, Akira

\executesystemcommand dont work?
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 17 Feb '15

Hi ConTeXist. After a long time I tried to recompile ConTeXt file that contained the \executesystemcommand. It seems to me that this command stopped working. Can anyone confirm or refute this my perception? I call \executesystemcommand to compiling another ConTeXt file from running ConTeXt. I use Windows 7 and problem is under TeXlive 2014 version and Standalone version too. Thanx Jaroslav Hajtmar Here is my minimal example: When I compile maintestfile.tex, then I expect, that compilebyexecutesystemcommand.pdf is created during compilation of maintestfile.tex file. I have two files. First is "test.tex" name: \starttext \input tufte \stoptext And second is file maintestfile.tex: \starttext \executesystemcommand{context --result=compilebyexecutesystemcommand.pdf test.tex} \input knuth \stoptext
