A trouble with setupbodyfontenvironment

A trouble with setupbodyfontenvironment

[Alasdair McAndrew]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 582 bytes --]

So I've come back to using ConTeXt after a year away from it (publishers
preferring LaTeX, y'know), and in revising some student notes I'm getting
errors which seem new.

For a collection of overheads, I've set up

\setupbodyfontenvironment[default][em={\slanted\color[red]}]

However, when I run context on my files, a command such as {\em elephant}
produces:

l.3 The {\em
           elephant} is a large gray animal
? h
The control sequence marked <to be read again> should
not appear between \csname and \endcsname.

What's going on here, and how do I fix it?

Thanks,
Alasdair

Thanks for that, but it doesn't seem to work:

I enter "context myfile.tex", and a bit later:

l.26 \definehighlight
                     [slantedred][style=slanted,color=red]
? h
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed.

Do I have to include a special module here?

No. I tested some versions between 2011.11.29 23:11 and 2013.02.26
00:17 and it worked for me. Which version are you using?
\definehighlight is nothing which was recent added.

\setupbodyfontenvironment
  [default]
  [em=slantedred]

\definehighlight
  [slantedred]
  [style=slanted,
   color=red]

\starttext
  foo {\em bar}
\stoptext

You cannot update, you can try this instead of \definehighlight:

\definealternativestyle
  [slantedred]
  [{\slanted\color[red]}]

Actually, maybe my version is a bit old: context --version
returns 2011.05.18 18:04.  I'll try to update it.  (I'm using Ubuntu 12.04,
but when I tried to update using apt-get the system told me that I had the
latest version).  In the meantime I'll try your alternative.

Thanks!

It is best to install ConTeXt standalone in a parallel directory.
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Standalone

@Mojca: What's with the name of the distribution. The wiki has a mix of 
minimals, standalone, and suite. Can we converge on one name for the 
distribution.

Arrgh: more problems.  I've downloaded and installed context standalone
(version 2013.02.26 00:17).  Now when I run context I get an error (for the
first time ever) when it reaches a chapter heading:

l.1 ...[ch:this]{My first chapter}

? h
The lua interpreter ran into a problem, so the
remainder of this lua chunk will be ignored.

I have the following setups:

\def\chap#1#2{\vbox{\darkgreen Chapter
#1\crlf\framed[frame=off,topframe=on]{#2}}}
\def\uchap#1#2{#2}

\setuphead[chapter][command=\chap,style=bfd,after={\blank[1cm]},textcolor=darkgreen,numbercolor=darkgreen]

None of this has ever given me any problems before.  I also experimented by
removing the entire context tree and reinstalling the stable version - only
to get the same error.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
Alasdair

It's easier to tell with a minimal example. But here's a guess. Try

  \unexpanded\def#1#2\chap{…}

or

  \define[2]\chap{…}

I'll try to sort out a minimal example; unfortunately neither of those
suggestions worked.

In the meantime, here's some more info from the log file:

-----

It seems to be a mkiv issue; when I attempted to typeset the file(s) with
texexec (mkii), I had no problem.

Thanks again,

how does that line look? here it is:

         if metadata and metadata.kind == "section" and not 
metadata.nolist then

btw, can it be that you run a new luatex but an old context? if so ... 
it's a 5.2 hashing issue and you need to update context to match luatex

Most of the software in the repository is a few to several revisions 
behind. The texlive package, for example, is from 2009  :(

Best to install the standalone or install texlive yourself using the 
installer from CTAN. I have both on my 12.04 system though I mostly use 
the standalone version.

I think I might completely uninstall my current TeXlive (2011) and install
the newest one from CTAN, as you recommend.  I also run into problems when
I want to run both ConTeXt and plain TeX or LaTeX: I was using TeX on some
old files yesterday, and because my path was set up to reference the
/opt/context tree before the /usr/share/texmf tree, TeX kept giving errors.
 So I needed to fiddle with my path first.  (One day I'll convert my TeX
files to ConTeXt, but that requires more time than I have right now.)

Thanks, everybody!
