Hi,

re: http://context.aanhet.net/svn/manuals/context/

I've downloaded all files from the above directory to a
separate folder on my PC and am trying to compile the
screen version of the english context manual with

texmfstart texexec --pdf --mode=screen cont-en.tex

Is that the correct command ? I'm receiving compile
errors (log file in attachement).

Best,
Alan

Comment the fourth line in layo-02.tex, as the error message
says the command \interfacetranslationtrue is not defined.

Did so Wolfgang.

Unfortunately I'm getting other compile errors ( in layo-05.tex this time ).
I suspect these sources not being the debugged ones, and/or not everything
is provided in
http://context.aanhet.net/svn/manuals/context/ to compile them.

Speaking of compile errors, where is there a reference explaining the
meaning of ConTeXt compile error messages ?

The manuals are complete but Hans used many low level code which
is now included in the base files with different content or now obsolete
and no longer defined. You can see this especially in cont-enp.tex where
the code for the x-set-11 module is included in the environment files
and it's not possible to process the manual without changes in the files.

Take a book about TeX.

- The TeXbook,
- TeX by Topic,
- TeX for the Impatient,
- ...

that part of the style is kind of low level; the interfase stuff is now 
xml bases so there is no need for dirtuy hacks any more (overloads and 
such); i have a better version here (will upload it at some point);

Wonderful Hans! Because learning a new language through
updated source code examples is so much more pleasant
and efficient.

The presentation of the former mentioned screen manual
is precisely what brought me to switch to ConTeXt and what
I intended to study now how to implement.

Would you please advise when uploaded ?

Thanks on beforehand,
Alan

just look at s-pre-*.tex, one of them is derived from the manual one

It was the first I've been directed to and studied Hans. So did that
already.
It compiled, displayed flawlessly and was a good starting point. It lacks
the features of the screen manual though, i.e. the dynamic TOC in the
navigation panel. That's why I wanted to dig further into the related
specific code. However, as it's outdated and doesn't compile any longer
with the latest ConTeXt... it's "rather" tricky - especially when restricted
by time constraints.

Looking forward to the upload.

Best,
Alan

Ahaa... I thought they were "Scratch_Your_Head_Variables".  :O)

Thanks all for your enlightening comments.

While reading code you can simply ignore them. You can also ignore them 
while writing code (at least initially). The advantage of these \v! \c! 
thingies is that it makes it easier to catch typos and write a 
multi-lingual interface.

Re: context manuals sources

[Charles P. Schaum]

In a parser, a piece of code that interprets a set of structured rules
(grammar) from a (partially or fully) tokenized input stream from the
lexical analyzer at the front end, LHS is something on the left hand
side of an equation or term (thus, on the left-hand parse tree) and RHS
is on the right hand side.

There are free sources out there to find stuff on parsing so you don't
have to go and buy the Dragon book (Aho, Sethi, Ullmann), which I
nevertheless consider a vade mecum. You will find links to such
documentation under the computer -> reference category at:

http://yoel.info/links.htm

Best wishes, and welcome to the world of artificial languages.

Euuuh, other than constant and variable...

LHS, RHS and enumeration are like klingon to me.  :O)

Are these terms important to understand the code ?

c is a constant (LHS), v is a variable (RHS enumeration).

context manuals sources

[Alan Stone]

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out the meaning and use
of the c! and v! prefixes in commands in, for
example, the layo-xx.tex source files at
http://context.aanhet.net/svn/manuals/context/
aka...

\setupcolors
  [\c!state=\v!start]

\setupsystem
  [\c!random=\v!big]

\setuplayout
  [\c!location=\v!middle,
   \c!style=\ss,
   \c!backspace=2.5cm,
   \c!topspace=1.5cm,
   \c!width=16cm,
   \c!margindistance=.25cm,
   \c!margin=2.5cm,
   \c!height=\v!middle]

:Oo ?

Alan
