Re: next beta

[Otared Kavian]

Hi Hans,

Thanks for the new feature for row backgrounds, which I tested: it works (though see below) and it is another great feature!
I wanted to add the information on the wiki, but thought it would be better to explain the meanings of \ND and \NL: is the following correct:

\NC = New Column
\NR = New Row
\NL = New Line ?
\ND = ??

Also it seems that when one encloses the tabulated lines into a \startplacetable...\stopplacetable pair, the coloring of the background does not work. Please see below an example.

Best regards: OK

%%% begin row-background.tex
\setuptabulate[backgroundcolor=lightgray]

\starttext

\starttabulate[|||]
   \ND First name \NC Family name\NC \NR
   \NC Hans \NC Hagen \NC \NR
   \NL[darkgray] Wolfgang \NC Schuster \NC \NR
   \NC Aditya \NC Mahajan \NC \NR
   \ND Pablo \NC Rodriguez \NC \NR
\stoptabulate

\startplacetable[title=A nice table, but where are the colors?]
\starttabulate[|||]
   \ND First name \NC Family name\NC \NR
   \NC Hans \NC Hagen \NC \NR
   \NL[darkgray] Wolfgang \NC Schuster \NC \NR
   \NC Aditya \NC Mahajan \NC \NR
   \ND Pablo \NC Rodriguez \NC \NR
\stoptabulate
\stopplacetable

\stoptext
%%% end row-background.tex

While you are tweaking formulas, would it make sense to add a key-value 
interface for \startformula, so that the following also works:

\startformula[split=yes, align=flushleft]
...
\stopformula

We can remain backward compatible by check if the argument to formulas is 
an assignment or not.

right, so we're stuck .. anyhow, some future mkiv beta / luatex 
combination will provide

\setupformulas[split=yes,align=flushleft]     % already there
\setupmathematics[setups=math:spacing:split]  % needs new engine

so that you split differently (one can then prevent an unwanted split 
with a large penalty)

Let me quote the TeXbook (page 195):

»Although formulas within a paragraph always break after binary operations and relations, displayed
formulas always break before binary operations and relations.«

On the other hand, right above this paragraph, it says:

»It's quite an art to decide how to break long displayed formulas into several lines; TeX never
attempts to break them, because no set of rules is really adequate.«

Yes, you are right. 
To start a new line with a sign may be a preference  of me and some others.
I found a document which illustrates the different displays of a long equations in LaTeX.

https://www.andy-roberts.net/res/writing/latex/longeqns.pdf <https://www.andy-roberts.net/res/writing/latex/longeqns.pdf>

I think that I ask you too much. 
You may leave it to user to choose.

Thank you for the example that I just saw. It looks good to me.

Best regards,

Dalyoung

this is how tex works: just look at inline math

i played with it a bit but had to adapt the engine for a bit more 
control (stepwise the matyh machinery is opened up i.e. hard coded steps 
become configureable)

anyway, the question is not implementing but control: it's not default 
tex behaviour so it has to be turned on (and then after a while we 
forget that it can be turned on i guess)

(no clue what keyword to use for controling it)

Re: next beta

Dear Hans,

I updated ConTeXt beta today and run your sample for long formula.
It works nice and it is the feature what many math people want I think.
Thank you for your concern.

One thing that I’d like say is that a new line in the splitted long formula usually starts with operations in many math books.
But, in the ourput  of your example, every line ends with ‘+’ sign and begin a new line with a ‘number’.

Would you please check it once more?

Thank you again for your work, and have a nice weekend.

Best regards,

Dalyoung

That looks really good! Will it be possible to combine that with \startmathalignment? And if not can you pass several \alignhere commands and force breaking at user defined places?

There is a TeX Live updating utility, at least on the MacOS distribution, that allows for server synchronizations between the yearly updates. Is ConTeXt updated there?

Okay, that would be really great. Maybe a semi-automatic breaking across pages could be doable. The AMS package for LaTeX implements something like that. If you write \allowbreak (I am not absolutely sure if this is the true command, but it is something like that) at a line of an equation with multiple lines the typesetting algorithm knows that the formula can be broken across pages at that point.
If something like that could be done in ConTeXt it would be really great. At present it is somewhat complicated to handle equations with many lines since you have to typeset the text and check if everything fits.

I remember a talk by giuseppe about nath (or so) that did something nice 
but anyway, the main question with that kind of trickery is if one is 
willing to add structure info or not .. anything semi-clever will be 
limited.

You mean these boxed lines? I'm not a math expert so the subtle details 
are lost to me. I'd rather start from reasonable demands (after all very 
complex stuff often is best done manually anyway).

For instance

foo = bar + bar + bar
       gnu + gnu

is doable without much trouble if one is willing to enter

foo = \alignhere bar + bar + bar
       gnu + gnu

and such.

Interesting. An important reference for automatic breaking of multiline 
display are the notes of Michael J Downes included in the documentation of 
breqn: see section 14 (page 16) of 
http://ctan.math.washington.edu/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/breqn/breqn.pdf

(Ignore the implementation details, which were a series of hacks to make 
things work in pdftex, but section 14 explains the different display math

Hi Hans,

if I get it right this means that you provide a mechanism that brakes formulas automatically across several lines? I appreciate this very much! Thank you for including this into the next beta!
Would it be possible to do something like that for breaking long formulas across pages (or is that maybe included in the new mechanism)?

next beta

[Hans Hagen]

Hi,

the next beta has additional keywords for texdefinitions:

\starttext

% [spaces|nospaces] [global] [unexpanded] [expanded] [..argument] csname

\starttexdefinition unexpanded doubleempty whatever [#1][#2]#3

     this is (#1) (#2) it#3

\stoptexdefinition

*\whatever[a]{!}*

\stoptext

(no beta yet as i'm in the middle of some cleanup)

Thanks. A change making the code imho much more 'attractive' to the eye.

Hi,

The next beta will support this (for mp lovers)

\definecolor[maincolor]   [r=.5]
\definecolor[extracolor]  [g=.5]
\definecolor[anothercolor][b=.5]
\definecolor[morecolor]   [s=.8]

\startMPpage

     fill fullcircle scaled  5cm withcolor "morecolor" randomized 1 ;
     addbackground withcolor

So, in many cases you can use strings instead of \MPcolor{...}.

[Hans Hagen]

Hi,

The next beta will have a more efficient metafun filldraw option named 
'fillup' (flaw and drill were rejected as operator names):

\starttext
     \startMPpage
         fill   fullsquare scaled 4cm withpen pencircle scaled 1cm;
         draw   fullsquare scaled 4cm withpen pencircle scaled 1cm;
     \stopMPpage
     \startMPpage
         fillup fullsquare scaled 4cm withpen pencircle scaled 1cm;
     \stopMPpage
\stoptext

The second page will have more efficient pdf code.

The beta also has some new arrow trickery that Alan will reveal at the 
next context meeting.

Hans

I am using a two-week old beta (2015.04.03). CL has the same alignment as 
r and CR has the same aligned as l.

I understand the historic reason for the difference between left and 
flushleft, but shouldn't the alignment keys within the same mechanism have 
the same meaning? (Or was this a bug that has been corrected in the 
current beta).

Further, the declaration of a tabulate environment already tends to be pretty
tight on space, so IMO a little bit of obscurity in these parameters - provided
they stay documented - is an acceptable price to pay for keeping the keys to
two letters (three would probably be OK too, esp. for less frequently used
ones).

I've added this to the wiki.

Just to be clear: CT provides an alternate method to colorize the
text, instead of
using the standard \color[foo]{bar} - right? There is already a
section on using
the \color command to colorize the text, so I want to make sure I'm adding this
correctly as a complementary mechanism, or fix it if I misunderstood.

preamble scanning is already quite tricky and there was already CR CM CL 
so adding CT was a few lines of extra code

(i will probably make a key/val based variant some day but that is no 
fun either ... 10 lines of setup per table instead of a one line preeamble)

(and i'm forbidden to fundamentally change an important mechanism like 
tabulate right now as for sure it will break some things)

Re: next beta

[Keith J. Schultz]

Hi Hans, All,

I find this nomenclature confusing and a little confusing from a design standpoint!

 	1)  Color of the text background should be separate from the rest
              of the cell background

	2) the names should reflect to what they apply

That said we should have:
	CTBGC == Cell text background color
	CTC      == Cell text color

	CBGC == Cell background color 
                      or
         CC      == Cell color

	CBGCR   == Cell background color in the space right of text
	CBGCM  == Cell background color in space middle of cell( above below text)
	CBGCL   == Cell background color in the space right of text

True, these are a lot of options/parameters, yet it offers the most flexibility and
a cleaner interface. Furthermore, one can understand the names of the parameters.

Another, advantage is that one could and at a later point a feature for inverting the
color of the text according cell color and/or text background color.

CT is the text color (foreground so to say)

The wiki [1] describes these \C* commands:

\CR 	 color is applied to the background of the text and the remaining
space on the right;
\CC 	 color is applied to the background of the text only;
\CM 	 color is applied to the background of the text and the remaining
space on both sides;
\CL 	 color is applied to the background of the text and the remaining
space on the left.

What does CT do differently than CC? It's not quite clear from the example.

Cheers,

Sietse

next beta

[Hans Hagen]

Hi

The next beta will have this (I needed it for a manual):

\starttext

     \starttabulate[||CL{darkred}|CM{darkgreen}CT{white}|CR{darkblue}||]
         \NC first \NC               left  \NC middle \NC 
right  \NC last \NC \NR
         \NC first \NC \color[white]{left} \NC middle \NC 
\color[white]{right} \NC last \NC \NR
         \NC first \NC               left  \NC middle \NC 
right  \NC last \NC \NR
     \stoptabulate

\stoptext

i.e. we already had CL CM and CR, so CT is new .. should be wikified.

Hans
