Perhaps split the stuff at modules.cg.net into modules/fonts/docs/packages subtrees, but I really like the 'central repository' idea. Taco

C pretty printing

Sounds like something for http://modules.contextgarden.net. It would need a bit of documentation though, even if it is just a single page. I don't have time to look at this now, but I will get back to you in a week or so. Greetings, Taco Nikolai Weibull wrote: > > Anyway, I've attached it here.

Dense Encoding (was: Re: [dev-context] enco-uc fixes)

Do you need Turkish? (I blew dotlessi away earlier on, and forgot to put it back in) The layout (ordering of the characters) needs some work. The strategy for keeping punctuation was those that fall in normal text, and are likely to be governed by a kern/ligature, should stay. Let me know if you object to any that are still in. Characters that fell in (only) Latin, Esperanto, Sami, Greenlandic, or Latin Extended-B didn't make the cut. Thoughts? -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

enco-uc fixes
by Adam Lindsay 26 Apr '05

26 Apr '05

Hey all. A couple enco-uc fixes to be confirmed: \definecharacter threequarter {\uchar0{190}} % was threequarters, oops \definecharacter ordmasculine {\uchar0{186}} % wasn't defined \definecharacter ordfeminine {\uchar0{170}} % wasn't defined \definecharacter percent {\uchar0{37}} % wasn't defined \definecharacter textunderscore {\uchar0{95}} % wasn't defined %D Not sure, because it can be a chore to create yet another font: %\definecharacter trademark {\uchar{33}{34}} % wasn't defined %D This isn't defined in many fonts, but it should be consistent: \definecharacter textminus {\uchar{32}{18}} In other news, would a TeX'n'Unicode encoding interest anyone? -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

wordright
by Adam Lindsay 22 Apr '05

22 Apr '05

Hi all. In my occasional trawl for goodies, I came across \wordright in core-spa. It seems to try to solve a little problem I encountered a while ago, but in current ConTeXt, it doesn't seem very happy. Reverting back to something suggested in the code seems to make it happier. I'm still learning the internals, so does anyone understand this enough to say why it's a bad idea? \starttext \dorecurse{5}{something } \wordright{--someone} \dorecurse{6}{something } \wordright{--someone} \dorecurse{7}{something } \wordright{--someone} \textrule \unprotect \def\dowordright[#1]% {% don't change \groupedcommand {\removeunwantedspaces \hfill \allowbreak % changed back from \hskip\zeropoint \strut \hfill \quad % decent spacing \hbox} {\doifelse{#1}\v!right{\kern-\rightskip}{\doifsomething{#1}{\kern-#1}}% \parfillskip\zeropoint \par}} \protect \dorecurse{5}{something } \wordright{--someone else entirely} \dorecurse{6}{something } \wordright{--someone else entirely} \dorecurse{7}{something } \wordright{--someone else entirely} \stoptext -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

Re: [NTG-context] new beta

[back to the dev list...] Hans Hagen said this at Tue, 19 Apr 2005 15:20:03 +0200: >Adam: in texexec.pl the cal to ctxtools should be prefixed by texmfstart >(texmfstart texexec --make ...) I had already tried that (yesterday's beta) when I sent the previous email. Same (null) effect: % ruby /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/scripts/context/ruby/ texmfstart.rb texexec --make --all TeXExec 5.3.1 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 total run time : 0 seconds (no, I don't have the texmfstart or ctxtools or other new-ish stubs in my /bin directory) ...or are you saying to edit texexec.pl ? -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

bug in cont-int.tex
by David Munger 19 Apr '05

19 Apr '05

Hans, Could you replace line 1210 in cont-int.tex: {\ignorespaces\linklisttoelement{#2}{#3}{#6}{#7}{\box0}\unskip}\\} with this one: {\ignorespaces\linklisttoelement{#2}{#3}{#6}{\box0}\unskip}\\} It fixes the bug from my previous post: http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20050411.053220.16c83503.html Thanks, David

new beta
by Hans Hagen 19 Apr '05

19 Apr '05

Hi, I uploaded a new beta. This one has a prelude to a new implementation of texexec. I can run texexec --make --all should work as well as: texexec --make --all --engine=pdftex texexec --make --all --engine=aleph texexec --make --all --engine=xetex it assumes a new recent version of pdftex/mpost currently it's juts a call to ctxtools. I'd like to know if it works ok for miktex as well. I want to avoid ini/rme files. i also made a new cversion checker, for the moment use ctxtools --check it does some more testing and later I will add some cnf parsing.

svg inclusion
by Hans Hagen 08 Apr '05

08 Apr '05

Hi, The last couple of weeks i've been working on - runtime graphic conversion (downsampling, whatever->pdf) - isolating pstopdf from teh example framework - some way of svg converion it's still a bit tricky to let this work together, but in the end ... also, a next step will be to replace texutil.tug by an xml alternative (i have that already for some time but it needs better integration) so ... patrick ... in order to get this working in the wiki (nice testbed) we need there: - ghostscript (>=8.50) - ruby (>=1.81) - imagemagick (>=6.2.0) - inkscape (>=0.41) I'd rather let users test it in the wiki because otherwise we get drowned in mails Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
