In the document I'm working on, I'd like to put some typed code bits in
frames, to get an appearance sort of like the code excerpts on the
ConTeXtWiki. However, I've found myself needing to do a couple of rather
ugly hacks to get that to work right, and I'm hoping for some suggestions
on how to avoid that.
Here's what I have so far:
\def\typebufferframed[#1]{%
\vskip\parskip
\framed[background=color,
backgroundcolor=gray,
frame=on,
strut=yes,
offset=2mm,
width=broad,
framecolor=black,
align=right]%
{\vskip -11mm\typebuffer[#1]\vskip -5mm}}
\starttext
Plain text before the code.
\startbuffer[ex1]
This is an example.
\stopbuffer
\typebufferframed[ex1]
Plain text after the code.
\stoptext
The hacks that I'd like to get rid of:
It would be nice not to have to put the code in a buffer before typing it,
since in general I only use these once. However, if I put \starttyping and
\stoptyping inside a framed command (even if I don't encapsulate it in
another function) it breaks, and putting \startframedtext in the before=
command and \stopframedtext in the after= command of \setuptyping also
doesn't work.
The spacing, when I do things the way that I'm doing them, is all
wrong. The \vskip\parskip at the top is reasonably ok (although a bit
annoying), but I'd really like to figure out how to get rid of the large
negative \vskip's inside the frame.
Thanks!

(I assume the color=blue was meant to be framecolor=blue?) That does seem to work well and avoid most of the problems; thanks! It still doesn't give me a \parskip before the typed text, though -- try putting a \setupspacing[big] with the above code to see what I mean. (That's an easy fix, though; a \vskip\parskip in the before= command fixes it.) That seems like a bug somewhere, though -- if I comment out the \setuptyping command, the spacing is fine. - Brooks ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 40+ messages in thread

The startbackground is not the most robust one (otr based); the \definetextbackgound one is better. The framed solution (earlier post) is probably what you're looking for.

Vit and Floris, if your TeX source is one file only, please do me a favour: try the TeX files on live.contextgarden.net and see if the output comes out right. If it doesn't, I'd like to know about it. If it does, please report on the list. Do you have write18 (texmf.cnf) enabled? How does your cont-sys.tex look like? What distribution do you use? I have (on live..) disabled write18, \runMPgraphicstrue and \runMPTEXgraphicstrue.

Any windows / texlive users should be able to tell you more. But unzipping it on top of the texlive was not the very best idea I'd guess. The directory structure has changed a bit with respect to the location of scripts and metapost files, so your old texlive metafun macros will be used.

Win / TeX Live call Perl scripts via .exe files of the same name. But I do not know connection between them (e.g. if it follows kpsewhich for finding new .pl in texmf-local).

IIRC there were two important differences from your texlive upto now: 1) paths of scripts have changed (now in texmf/scripts/context/perl/ I don't remember were they were ... wait.... texmf/context/perltk) 2) metafun macros are now in metapost/context/base (hmm, it looks as if this is now since a long time ...

So you are probably only affected by 1). Any window user should tell you how to use the texexec.pl from the scripts path and use this in favour of the default one. > I guess i have to uninstall the present pftex and start from > scratch. Oh no, don't do this. It looks fine.

That is what I have, too. I have not taken the default ConTeXt, but downloaded a current one from Pragma ADE page and installed it in a spearate directory and did a few things that are mentioned on my old ConTeXt page (http://levana.de/context). > Hints for improvement: > [...] I'll return to the live... next week, I'll save your (and the other) suggestions until then.

Once, I had a similar problem: modifications in the embedded MetaFun code did not show up in the pdf or ps file, even after 4 or 5 texexec runs. The solution was, to delete all temporary files (*.mp *.tuo *.tui etc).

(I'm a bit confused, though; I tried something nearly like this as my first attempt, and it gave me very confusing errors that led me to believe that using \startframedtext in a before= command wouldn't work. Strange; I don't remember what I did then, and it works now.) - Brooks ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 40+ messages in thread
