[Hans Hagen]

Hi,

I uploaded a beta. Apart from some fixes, the biggest change is in 
dealing with positional info and text backgrounds (first stage cleanup). 
  As I have no clue to what extend users mess around with background 
graphics themselves, it's hard to predict side effects, but the biggest 
impact is speed. The adventurous might want to try out

\setuptextbackground
   [mp=mpos:par:region,
    method=mpos:par:region]

or with some more visual tracing

\setuptextbackground
   [mp=mpos:par:region:kind,
    method=mpos:par:region]

A simple test with some 200 backgrounds brings down runtime with one 
second on my machine (not the fastest anyway).

Apart from a performance gain, backgrounds are now also supported in 
regular multicolumns as well as in some specific mechanisms like 
tabulate and xtables. In xtables one needs to set region=yes in order to 
get the desired results. Actually, the region key is a new one in framed 
so anything that can be framed can also have fancy text  backgrounds.

Yet another improvement is that (although rather untested) you can do 
things like

     \starttextbackground[r] START
     \dorecurse{10}{
         \dorecurse{1}{\input ward }
         \placefigure[right]{}{}
         some text before BEGIN \dorecurse{2}{\input ward } END some after
         \placefigure[left]{}{}
         some text before BEGIN \dorecurse{2}{\input ward } END some after
         \placefigure[right]{}{}
         some text before BEGIN \dorecurse{2}{\input ward } END some after
     }
     STOP \stoptextbackground
     \dorecurse{1}{\input ward }

and get more or less expected results. Keep in mind that it can never 
get perfect due to all kind of possible interference. Also, keep away 
from internals as they will quite certainly change.

Hi Hans,

Thanks for the new beta: as a matter of fact it seems to be much faster the previous ones, even with many backgrounds!

I wanted to submit a small bug with the « \prime » in math mode: the following gives an error
%%%%%% begin example.tex
\starttext
The function $\exp$ is the unique solution of 
\startformula
u'(x) = u(x) \quad u(0) = 1.
\stopformula
\stoptext
%%%%% end example.tex

The error message is:
\301>c ->\egroup 
                 
<to be read again> 
                   (
l.6 u'(
       x) = u(x) \quad u(0) = 1.

Best regards: OK

Re: beta

[Otared Kavian]

Hi Hans,

Another small issue with the new beta (ConTeXt  ver: 2012.02.16 13:05 MKIV): the key « location= hanging » does not work anymore in enumerations.
Minimal example:
%%%%%% 
\defineenumeration[Exo]
	[location=hanging,
	width=fit,
	text={Exercise }, 
	stopper={.}]

\starttext

\startExo This is a test: this line should not be below « Exercise 1. »\dots

\stopExo

\stoptext
%%%%%
Best regards: OK

Hi Hans,

there seems to be a typo in anch-pos.lua, line 100:

·································································
-            local r = collected[region]
+            local r = collected[tag]
·································································

(“region” references a boolean.)

Here’s an example that triggers the bug and works after the
patch is applied. I have no idea as to why this exact series of
macros causes the issue. Please have a look at it anyways because
the text background looks weird even after.

·································································
\definetextbackground[tb]
\setuptyping[
  after={\stoptextbackground},
  before={\starttextbackground[tb]},
]

\starttext

foo
\starttyping
bar
\stoptyping
baz

\starttabulate[|r|l|]
  \NC  foo \NC bar \AR
\stoptabulate%

\stoptext
·································································

Regards
Philipp

Enumerations and descriptions use now the “alternative” key for the position of the title.

…Oh thanks Wolfgang… Somehow I missed the announcement of the change.
The following gives the desired result:

\defineenumeration[Exo]
	[alternative=hanging,
	width=fit,
	text={Exercise }, 
	stopper={.}]

This is one of the things that I'm still considering ... alternative is 
more consistent with other mechanisms. Also, notes use location for 
where notes are placed.

We can consider some compatibility hack:

\setupenumerations
   [\c!alternative=\descriptionparameter\c!location,
    \c!location=\v!left]

\setupenumerations
   [\c!alternative=\descriptionparameter\c!location,
    \c!location=\v!left]

So, alternative wins but defaults to location.

Anyhow, eventually descriptions will have an 'installable alternatives' 
mechanism like lists, although they differ too much to be shared.

Of course one can always stretch it to the limit:

\setuptextbackground
   [mp=mpos:par:region,
    method=mpos:par:region]

\setupbodyfont[dejavu,10pt]

\showframe

\definetextbackground[r]
\definetextbackground[b]

\starttext

test \starttextbackground[b] \input ward

\parshape 5
     5cm 8cm
     4cm 8cm
     3cm 8cm
     2cm 8cm
     1cm 8cm
     \input ward
     \input ward

\input ward \stoptextbackground{} test

\stoptext
