XML, dealing with whitespace
by denis.maier＠unibe.ch 17 Jan '22

17 Jan '22

Hi all, I have sources that look like this: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <article> <p>Bla Bla Bla</p> <p> <underline> <italic>Bla</italic> </underline>, Bla Bla.</p> </article> %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Typesetting this with context gives me a spurious space after the underlined Bla in italics. Complete MWE : %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \startxmlsetups xml:test \xmlsetsetup{#1}{*}{-} \xmlsetsetup{#1}{article|p|italic|underline}{xml:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:test} \startxmlsetups xml:article \starttext \xmlflush{#1} \stoptext \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:p \xmlflush{#1}\par \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:italic \emph{\xmlflush{#1}} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:underline \underbar{\xmlflush{#1}} \stopxmlsetups \startbuffer[test] <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <article> <p>Bla Bla Bla</p> <p> <underline> <italic>Bla</italic> </underline>, Bla Bla.</p> </article> \stopbuffer \xmlprocessbuffer{test}{test}{} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% How can I get rid off spurious leading and trailing whitespace. I've found \xmlstrip and \xmlstripped, but I don't really understand how they work. I've also found out about \ignorespaces\xmlflush{#1}\removeunwantedspaces but this has then to be added to every definition, which would be a bit tedious... There have a been a couple of similar questions by Hans van der Meer about a decade ago, but I couldn't find the answer. Then, \xmlstripanywhere is also mentioned in xml-mkiv.pdf, but it's not explained. I found one example in the sources (https://source.contextgarden.net/tex/context/modules/mkiv/x-html.mkiv?searc…) but what does that do? Is that sort of need for \xmlstrip and friends to work? So, what would be the best way to deal with that situation? (More details below, perhaps there's an easier solution outside of context, because the problem is actually caused by xslt...) Best, Denis P.S. Background: I convert docx files with pandoc to jats xml. Pandoc does quite a decent job, but I need to tweak a few things with xslt. The actual transformation that I need works ok, but the transformation also causes other problems. This is the original markdown file : %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Bla Bla Bla [*Bla*]{.underline} Bla Bla. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Pandoc produces a jats xml file that looks like this (simplified, empty nodes deleted) : %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <article> <body> <p>Bla Bla Bla</p> <p><underline><italic>Bla</italic></underline>, Bla Bla.</p> </body> </article> %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% I use this xsl for tweaking pandoc's output %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl=http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform xmlns:fo=http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format> <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />  <xsl:template match="*"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template>      </xsl:stylesheet> %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% This is again much simplified, I've omitted the templates that do the actual tweaking. Anyway, both versions of the identity transformation produce this (using Saxon): %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <article> <body> <p>Bla Bla Bla</p> <p> <underline> <italic>Bla</italic> </underline>, Bla Bla.</p> </body> </article> %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% I can get rid off all whitespace with indent="no", but that produces a rather unreadable file. xsl:strip-space has had no effect. Maybe someone knows a solution how to improve that step? Is there a way to convince an xslt-processor not to introduce the newlines after certain tags? Something like, treat paragraphs as a single unit or so. Am I missing something?

Dear Hans, Thank you for your reply. Here is the missing MWE.

Dear list, using current latest (2022.01.15 17:32), I still experience an already reported issue (https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2022/104770.html) \setuppapersize[A6] \showframe\showgrid %~ \setupnote[footnote][paragraph=yes] \setupnote[footnote][location=text, paragraph=yes] \setupnotation[footnote][alternative=serried, width=broad] \starttext \startlinenumbering[step=3] \dorecurse{25} {a\footnote{b} } \stoplinenumbering \placenotes[footnote] \stoptext I don’t get paragraph notes with "location=text". Could anyone confirm the issue or tell me what I’m missing? Many thanks for your help, Pablo

(again) diferent prefixsegments for different references

Dear list, I asked this some time ago (https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2021/102394.html) Using the following sample: \starttext \definereferenceformat[itsc][in] \setupreferencestructureprefix[itsc][default] [prefixsegments=section] \chapter{Chapter} \section[b]{Section} \itsc[b] and \in[b] \stoptext Is there a way that the prefixsegments for \itsc is only section, without modifying it for \in? Many thanks for your help, Pablo

SimpleSlides and Visual counters
by Otared Kavian 16 Jan '22

16 Jan '22

Hi all, in particular Aditya M. and Thomas A.S., It seems that the visual counter in SimpleSlides module (the version I have from ConTeXt Garden is from 2014) does not work fine with the latest LMTX. Is the issue is known ? If so, is there a new version of SimpleSlides in which the issue has been fixed ? Best regards: Otared

Changed behavior from \convertnumber{arabicdecimals}{..} as a textcommand for note
by musa furber 15 Jan '22

15 Jan '22

This week I updated ConTeXt minimals. Before then, I used the following code so that footnotes to Arabic passages would have parenthesis around them and use the digits used in Arabic texts in the Middle East (e.g. ٠١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩). \setupnote [arfootnote] [ headstyle={\switchtobodyfont[kitab]}, textcommand=\footnotenotenumbercommand, alternative=text, ] \define[1]\footnotenotenumbercommand{{\high{(\convertnumber{arabicdecimals}{#1})}}} Since the update, for the 123rd footnote, I now get `(123arabic)` instead of `(١٢٣)`. Elsewhere, I do get the expected output (i.e. `١٢٣٢`) when calling \convertnumber{arabicdecimals}{1232} I'm still relatively new to ConTeXt, so I'm unsure if what used really is correct, or if it was wrong and I now need to find the right way to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. —Musa

Itemize columns with MPgraphics: another vertical spacing puzzle
by Gavin 15 Jan '22

15 Jan '22

Hi List, I need to itemize graphics when I use those graphics as the choices in a multiple choice question. When I do that in columns, I am getting excess space below the graphics. See example code and output below. Any suggestions for how I get rid of this space? I’m not sure if this is related to the itemize column spacing in my previous comment. Thanks, again! Gavin \starttext \defineitemgroup[choices] \setupchoices [each] [A,joinedup] [left=(, right=), width=1.7em, stopper=,] \define\choice{\item} \def\mycolor{.625red} \startuseMPgraphic{name} fill fullcircle scaled 40pt withcolor \mycolor; \stopuseMPgraphic \define[1]\mycolordot{\def\mycolor{#1}\framed[location=top,offset=0pt,frame=off]{\useMPgraphic{name}}} What is your favorite color? (There is too much space after these choices.) \startchoices[columns,four] \choice \mycolordot{.625red} \choice \mycolordot{.625blue} \choice \mycolordot{.625green} \choice \mycolordot{.625magenta} \stopchoices A ruledhboxs show the extra space is in the itemize, but not in the item contents. \ruledhbox{\startchoices[columns, four] \choice \ruledhbox{\mycolordot{.625red}} \choice \mycolordot{.625blue} \choice \mycolordot{.625green} \choice \mycolordot{.625magenta} \stopchoices} Putting a ruledhbox around the first item shows that each item has extra space that is not part of the item contents. (The ruledhbox also messes with the horizontal alignment, but I don't care about that.) \startchoices[columns] \ruledhbox{\choice \mycolordot{.625red}} \choice \mycolordot{.625blue} \choice \mycolordot{.625green} \choice \mycolordot{.625magenta} \stopchoices The extra space is not present without columns. \startchoices \choice \mycolordot{.625red} \choice \mycolordot{.625blue} \choice \mycolordot{.625green} \choice \mycolordot{.625magenta} \stopchoices \ruledhbox{My favorite color is:\def\mycolor{.625blue} \framed[location=top,offset=0pt,frame=on] {\useMPgraphic{name}}} \stoptext

Spacing issue in itemize

Hi list, When I define an items group, it seems to mess up the spacing for a nested item group. See example below. Any ideas?

process markdown file
by J Huisman 14 Jan '22

14 Jan '22

Hi all, I have updated to the latest version and it seems that the MarkDown module is no longer part of the context installation. I get an 'undefined control sequence' error for \processmarkdownfile and the module files are gone. Is this on purpose? Why has it been removed? Can this please be restored? MWE \usemodule[markdown] \starttext \processmarkdownfile{file.md} \stoptext Manual solution: I have found the files 'm-markdown.lua' and 'm-markdown.mkiv' but I am not sure where/how to install them? Thanks, Jelle

clartype typescript
by Youssef Cherem 14 Jan '22

14 Jan '22

Hello everyone, I'm a new Context user, so pardon me if it's obvious. I found the cleartype typescript, but can't figure out how to use it. I thought it would be as easy as: \usetypescript[cleartype] But I am confused as to what to put in \setupbodyfont[?] (there are several sans fonts to choose from).
