CSS-like coding style

CSS-like coding style

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 535 bytes --]

Hello,
I'm puzzled with an odd thing. If I try to adopt CSS-like coding style, 

\setuptyping[
	before={
	\blank[2*big]
	\setupinterlinespace[line=1ex]
	},
	after={}
]
\setuppagenumbering[
	location=bottom
] 

works perfectly. But

\setuplayout[
	topspace=0cm, 
	bottomspace=2cm, 
	rightmargin=2cm,
	width=fit, 
	height=fit
]

fails and accepts only

\setuplayout[
	topspace=0cm, 
	bottomspace=2cm, 
	rightmargin=2cm,
	width=fit, 
	height=fit]

What is the rule behind this? :(

Best,
Vyatcheslav

A rather short answer is possible: Don't do that :-)

Seriously: if it works, it is by conincidence only. I will note even
explain you the (current) rules,  because they may change tomorrow.

Always make sure that there is no whitespace surrounding your values,
nor whitespace trailing a key. Whitespace *before* a key is ignored,
but that is the only documented case where whitespace is irrelevant.

The inverse is also true, btw. If you actually need a space preceding
or trailing a value, you have to wrap the entire requested item in
a set of curly braces. There is no guarantee that the space will be
retained otherwise.

Cheers,
Taco

Hello,
you can use the %-sign:

\setuplayout[
	topspace=0cm, 
	bottomspace=2cm, 
	rightmargin=2cm,
	width=fit, 
	height=fit%
]

Cheers, Peter

I am not sure this will work. Maybe, since footer is the default, it 
is hard to notice the difference between footer and bottom.

The general rule of thumb, add a comma at the end of all your values,

so

\setuplayout[
   ....
   height=fit,
]

will work perfectly.

replacing symbols

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

Hi,

Let me restate my question. If I get some text from an XML file using \XMLflush, is there a command in PLAIN TeX to replace some symbols (say, “&“ -> \letterampersand), on-a-fly without invoking perl, ruby, or lisp or ...? Why is there need in external script to do such an easy thing?

And what I have to do to use Lua scripts, if possible?

Cheers,
Vyatcheslav

or just add a comma afterthe last fit

\startsetups mine 

all kind of code 

\stopsetups 

\setups[mine]

also works ok, since in setups mode, spaces are ignores (so when needed, use \space) 

\startsetups footer
	pagenumber: \pagenumber
	\quad
	Okay
\stopsetups

\setupfootertexts[\setups{footer}]

\doifelse {whatever} {value} { 
	...
} { 
	...
} 

also works out ok in setups (no funny spaces)
