context mkiv bug + related feature request + related question

[Yue Wang]

Hi, Hans:


bug report :
here is the test file. (old version of mkiv produce right result.
current mkii result is also right)
It is a bug introduced in this/last month.
The code is a stripped down version of
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Horizontal_Table_of_Contents (altough it
doesn't show toc horizontally)

\newcount\chapcounter \chapcounter=0
\def\tocchap#1#2#3{\advance\chapcounter by 1 #1 #2%
	\placelist[section][criterium=chapter,number=\chapcounter]}
\starttext
\placelist[chapter][alternative=command,command=\tocchap]
\chapter{hello} \section{hello} \section{hello}
\chapter{good} \section{good} \section{good}
\chapter{bad} \section{bad} \section{bad}
\stoptext

feature request:

btw, Hans, context should give an option to iterate through all the
chapters/sections to do something tricky.
using \chaptercounter is a really bad idea (the materials should
follow strict rules, like cannot jump from chap 1 to chap 3).
I think with mkiv it is able to achieve that.

question:

I want to show toc before each chapter, and the toc only shows the
following chapter name in red.
How can I do that?
e.g. show the following before chapter 3

% A Page
Chap1
sec 1 sec 2 sec 3
Chap2
sec 1 sec 2 sec 3
Chap 3  %in red
sec 1 sec 2 sec 3 %in Red
Chap4
sec 1 sec 2 sec 3
% Next Page
Chapter 3 % title
a lot of materials

This bug is still not solved in the current context mkiv version.

i'd like to ask what sort of regression testing you guys are doing.  it's
very clear that things are constantly breaking, and even trivial ones but
aren't being spotted.

we have a couple of test docs but no regression suits .. there have been 
several attempts to set this up but no one is following up on that 
consistently and it's not something that taco and i are going to 
maintain (too much to do already)

anyhow, most reports about bugs refer to mkiv and esp structure related 
things; keep in mind that most counter, number conversion, multipass 
info, etc has been completely rewritten from scratch so there are 
definitely bugs esp in gray areas and since some of the control model 
has changed, we even will have differnces in configuration between mkii 
and mkiv (topic for the context meeting)

this will sort itself out as more is tested

Hans

add \number in front of \listparameter\c!number in strc-lst.mkiv or just 
in front of your \chapcounter

\number\listparameter\c!number

(info passed to lua has to be expanded)

actually, there is in mkii:

\starttext

\placelist[chapter][after={\placelist[section][criterium=local]}]

\chapter{hello} \section{hello} \section{hello}
\chapter{good} \section{good} \section{good}
\chapter{bad} \section{bad} \section{bad}

\stoptext

but that does not yet work in mkiv

sure, but that's for later; the mkiv structure code has much more 
possibilities but first i want to have the standard features complete 
and debugged
