spaces in file names

spaces in file names

[Hans van der Meer]

I would like to include a file with spaces in its name.
Clearly it does not work using: \input /Users/me/dir with spaces/file
I can use something like:
   \def\DataDirectory#1{\def\DATADIRECTORY{#1/}} % in reality coping  
with empty #1
   \DataDirectory{/Users/me/dir with spaces}
   \def\Input#1{\input "\DATADIRECTORY#1"}
and then that file is read.
When however I want to set this directory with
   \setupexternalfigures[directory=\DATADIRECTORY]
it does not find the picture file there.

How can I accomplish the setup? Do I miss something? Using  
contextbeta, if that makes a difference.

Tried it but NO. That didn't work. Without a space in the directory  
name I can find the picture. But as soon as a space gets in the  
directory name then the picture file is not found.

NO again. Doing:
\DataDirectory{/Users/hans/Movies/Inlays/Muziek/MadisonSquare Garden}  
% defs \DATADIRECTORY
\setupexternalfigures[directory={"\DATADIRECTORY"}]


gives an error:
! LuaTeX error <main ctx instance>:1: ')' expected near 'Garden'.
\setfigurepathlist ...cation ","\@@exdirectory ")}

Putting the "s around the name triggers the error.

Why don't you save the pictures in a subdirectory of your document.

Because I want to keep all files (aif, description, notes, cd-cover,  
pictures) pertaining to a certain piece together in one directory.

I did grep for the definition of \setupexternalfigures but could not  
find it in the sources. Where is it? Perhaps I can spot the difficulty  
there. Or, it might be in the use that /externalfigure makes of it.
Please point to the definitions of both, that I can have a look.

.. or try to use a link (without spaces) to the source directory.

e.g. a link named 'MadisonSquareGarden', which points to the original
directory. Untested...

Hi Hans,

The following works for me both with mkii and mkiv (running Mac OS X 10.6.2).

%%%%%%%%%
\starttext
\input "exercise english.tex"
\page
\externalfigure[pictures folder/old friend.jpg][maxwidth=3cm,maxheight=4cm,frame=on]

\stoptext
%%%%%%%%%%

My images are in the « folder » or directory « pictures folder » and my file is called « old friend.jpg », so the command \externalfigure is clever enough (not surprising from an old ConTeXt command…) and doesn't need any double quotes.
However for an \input file I have to say « \input "exercise english.tex" ».

Actually in general I avoid to have spaces in my file names, but I just tried the above in order to understand your question.

Yes, I knew that. Adding the full path inside the \externalfigure  
works. But I would like to access picture files by separately  
adressing directory and filename, not combining them explicitely.  
\setupexternalfigures[directory=..] was made for this. The annoying  
thing is that \setupexternalfigures and \externalfigure apparently do  
not work seamlessly together.

well, it's not deliberately .. just that i never use paths with spaces 
in tex workflows so it never got tested

in grph-inc.lua patch the gmatch pattern:

     if h[iv["global"]] then
         for s in gmatch(pathlist,",* *([^,]+)") do
             if not table.contains(t,s) then
                 t[#t+1] = s
             end
         end
     end

Re: spaces in file names

[Hans van der Meer]

Thanks Hans. That does the trick.

Odd by the way, that so many people apparently refrain from using  
spaces in directory and file names, because this did not surface  
earlier. It can make things a lot more readable. The habit of avoiding  
spaces is probably a holdover from old times where OS's were much more  
restrictive in filenaming. I reckon the next beta will contain this  
patch, so that I don't have to go through patching hassles when  
installing a new version.

Re: spaces in file names

[Hans van der Meer]

I just became aware of the fact that a comma in a directory name like  
"dir, so-and-so" is failing too. No doubt there will be others that  
are allowed in those names but resist \setupexternalfigures. I guess I  
will have to live with that. Though Hans might feel tempted to sort it  
out once and for all.....

I prefer to work with my computer, not against it. Whenever you want to script something or do something remotely, spaces in file names give you nothing but grief.

also, as nowadays guis can use proportional fonts, it's easy to oversee 
two spaces in a row which makes debugging a pain

esp when we get graphics from third parties we need to be pretty aware 
of inconsistency in

- upper/lowercase (and mixed)
- suffixes
- multiple spaces
- underscores vs hyphens

the problem being that in gui apps one just clicks on a (potentially 
messy) name but in automated flows one needs to be exact.

well,

   directory=a, b, c

should be

   directory={a, b, c}

or when b, c is a path

   directory={a, {b, c}}

you can try

     if h[iv["global"]] then
         for _, s in ipairs(aux.settings_to_array(pathlist)) do
             if not table.contains(t,s) then
                 t[#t+1] = s
             end
         end
     end

(untested)

Just small note: in POSIX (e.g. Linux) you could use any char in file
or directory name expect '/' and '\0'. Windows is more restricted (why
nowadays?) on char in file and directory names (not ':' for example).

Now imagine what should developers do in order to maintain software for
these different (in sense of names) systems? (My guess: use only plain
names: only latin letters and underscope is sufficient).

Text backgrounds once again

[Matthias Weber]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 805 bytes --]


Dear all,

after a long break I am returning to two larger projects of mine, and  
to celebrate, I upgraded
to ConTeXt from the current TeXLive.

To my surprise, mostly everything looks as before (which is good), but  
all my text backgrounds are gone.
A little search brought up Wolf-gang's example (from 1-20 2009)

\setupcolors[state=start]

\definetextbackground
[example]
[location=paragraph,
background=color,
backgroundcolor=middlegray,
frame=off]

\starttext

\input knuth

\startexample
\dorecurse{4}{\input knuth\par}
\stopexample

\input knuth

\stoptext

which doesn't produce any backgrounds - neither on my installation,  
nor at ConTeXt live.
What is the current way to produce backgrounds around text snippets?  
I'll need/want it
framed with rounded corners eventually, too.

Thanks!

More precisely, what formerly worked (with my 2008 installation, and  
it still works when I switch back)
is the following minimized setup. The frame and the background are  
gone :(, the red text is there.

Hi Mathias,

I tested your sample-code with the minimals

This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.50.0-2009122422
ConTeXt  ver: 2010.01.11 14:57 MKIV  fmt: 2010.1.11  int: english/

NOT reusing figures

[Matthias Weber]

Dear All,

I just notice another discrepancy between 2009 and earlier ConTeXt:

I organize my project in folders/subfolders according to chapters/ 
sections, and
each section folder contains the files needed for that section: the  
ConTeXt source,
images, and helper files etc.

Now it happens so that some images in different directories have the  
same name.
In my ConTeXt (2009), only the first image is loaded and used instead  
of the local one (which is explicitly referenced
with the correct path). I can clearly rename all file names to become  
unique, but it strikes me as a little odd.

Matthias

No. Both are (understandably) slightly paranoid, and disable \write18 by 
default. Either enable write18 in Texlive 
(http://wiki.contextgarden.net/write18) or add \runMPgraphicsfalse on top 
of your file.

what do you mean with 2009? a recent beta?

Re: NOT reusing figures

[Matthias Weber]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 771 bytes --]

Dear all,

I made a minimal sample project illustrating the issue.

Note that the figures in the two folders are different, and  
individually referenced by the two TeX files in the folders,
but come out as the same  image.
In older versions  of ConTeX  (before 2007) the different figures were  
used.

So far I have been using the TeXlive distributions (on a Mac) and  
shied away from the minimals. I am not a terminal
person, and while I can use it, I do it rarely and forget instantly  
what I did.

I am just trying to update to something more recent than the last 2008  
TeXlive distribution and
get my old projects to look similar to what they looked a few years  
back.
If you tell me I have to use the minimals for that, well, I'll give it  
a shot.

Matthias

reusing figures ok - problem with hiding blocks in MKIV

[Matthias Weber]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 381 bytes --]

Dear all,

after (finally) installing the minimals,
the  zip with the figures TeXs as expected  with MKII and MKIV.

Now, in MKIV I notice another issue. I use the \hideblocks mechanism  
to hide and reuse answers and get an error message (Undefined control  
sequence) in MKIV while everything is fine
in MKII.  I am attaching a sample file.

Thanks for all the help!

Re: reusing figures ok - problem with hiding blocks in MKIV

there are two issues:

\defineblock[exercise,solution]

i want to get away from the multiple definitions (for the moment i 
enabled it again in the upcoming beta) but the following should work in 
your case

\defineblock[solution]
\defineblock[exercise]

next, delete the tuc file and use the start/stop commands

\beginsolution
     \startsolution
         Solution one.
     \stopsolution
\endsolution

\solution is ok but looks for a \par as delimiter so using the \start... 
\stop... variant is better

More questions about hiding/reusing blocks

[Matthias Weber]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1012 bytes --]

Dear all,

I have two more questions about reusing blocks and interreferencing  
them.

First of all, I have set up problems within different chapters, and  
would like to have a separate chapter at the end that gathers
the solutions chapter by chapter like

\chapter{Solutions}
\section{Solutions from chapter 1}

get these here

\section{Solutions from chapter 2}

get those here


A sample file is attached below that has the layout, but all I know is  
how to retrieve all blocks at once. Would I need to create another  
block at the end of each chapter, and
retrieve these at the end? If so, how?

Then, I'd like to have little inconspicuous hyperlinks from the  
exercise to its solution and back. So far, I can only do this  
manually, as indicated. I would prefer to have the text Exercise in  
the enumeration
to become a hyperlink to the corresponding solution, and vice versa  
for the text Solution.

Is there a way of doing this (or something similar)?

Thanks a lot for all the help!

Matthias

Calligraphic letters in Mark IV

[Matthias Weber]

Dear all,

what's the best way to use calligraphic letters in LuaTeX?

I am used to

\starttext
\calligraphic{H}
\stoptext

which doesn't work in Mark IV (undefined control sequence).

Thanks,

Matthias

that was actually something math

in mkiv you have to define a caligraphic font

Re: Calligraphic letters in Mark IV

[Matthias Weber]

Yes indeed, I need this just for math.
So do I really need to grab some font that has calligraphic , write/ 
use a typescript, and then write
$text{\calligraphic H}$
or is there a simpler way that works out of the box?

Sorry for asking these simple questions, I just haven't started  
looking into fonts yet...

but \calligraphic is no longer available in mkiv, can you add

\unexpanded\def\calligraphic{\ifmmode\expandafter\mathscript    \fi}

to math-ini.mkiv?

you can group your solutions in categories:

\beginsolution[one]
....

and then use

\useblocks[solution][one]

actually in mkii there is (using symbols pointing to the companion that 
can be clicked) but in mkiv i didn't yet add the code for that but i 
will do that (we used that long ago in interactive educational documents)

I think that we should have \calligraphic for text calligraphic fonts 
only. For math, plain tex had \cal as a font switch, MkIV has \mathscript 
and \mathcal. I am not sure that we need another font switch in math.

I know, that in mkii \calligraphic is available in math mode, but I did 
not like that either. Since you are asking for my opinion, I think that it 
should go :-). For backward compatibility, we can add 
appropriate definition of \calligraphic to m-mkii module.

While we are at this topic, I think that we should change the definitions 
of \mathbf, \mathtf, etc from being a font switch to being a grouped 
command (to be more in tune with ams convetions). So, in math-ini.mkiv we 
can have

diff --git a/math-ini.mkiv b/math-ini.mkiv

in mkii it's provided by the coupling directive but as we only used it 
ourselves for some projects it was never document (i think)

in mkiv it will be named couplings:
