It doesn't place a number nor does it do the spacing properly. It does work the "context" way using \placeformula \startformula f(t)={1\over2\pi}\int_0^\infty e^{i(\omega t-kx)} dx \stopformula but to be honest that's quit a lot to type. "$$" is just nice and short and all the old documents I wrote wont work anymore... I run This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.30.4-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.5) (format=cont-en 2006. 12.4) 4 DEC 2006 21:46 ... ConTeXt ver: 2006.11.29 09:55 MK II fmt: 2006.12.4 int: english/english I would be very glad for some hints. Many thanks in advance.

Incorporating math ligatures in ConTeXt
by Aditya Mahajan 05 Dec '06

05 Dec '06

Hi Hans and Taco, I recently came across mathlig.tex (ftp://tug.ctan.org/pub/tex-archive/macros/generic/misc/mathlig.tex) which allows one to write \mathlig {->} {\rightarrow} and then in math mode -> will be equal to \rightarrow so one can just write $A -> B$ I really like this since one does not need to remeber the names of all those operators (>> << >= =< != !< !<= !>= -> => <- <= := ::= ) and the source looks easier to read. The marcos are in plain tex and work with ConTeXt. Do you think that this can be incorporated in ConTeXt as a separate module. This file is way beyond my understanding of TeX. Some parts are easy, but I just keep staring at definitions like \def\actively#1#2{\begingroup\uccode`\~=`#2\relax\uppercase{\endgroup#1~}} without understanding what it means. If you guys get tired of writing lua code, can you have a look into this and see if this can be added to ConTeXt. Aditya

OpenOffice export
by Idris Samawi Hamid 02 Dec '06

02 Dec '06

Hi gang, I just learned that OOo 2.04 has a LaTeX export (downloading now). Any of you bright programmers up to writing a ConTeXt export (or porting the LaTeX filters to ConTeXt)? I'm quite serious: if anyone is interested I'll write (or help write) a grant proposal for it (I've already had some TeX-related proposals funded so...). Please write me if you are interested in a grant, or else we can just discuss it on dev-context(a)ntg.nl and get it done another way!

texexec buglets
by Sanjoy Mahajan 02 Dec '06

02 Dec '06

A couple (ruby) texexec buglets: * --ps doesn't work with --listing : $ texexec --ps --listing a.txt produces texexec.dvi and claims to produce texexec.ps (it runs dvips) but texexec.ps is nowhere to be found. $ texexec --listing a.txt works fine (produces texexec.pdf) This is with texexec 6.2.0 (context 2006.11.22). * lingering use of --output= tex.rb, line 1562 has options.push("--output=ps") # options.push("--dvi") but --output=ps has no effect in ruby texexec. Should it be --ps or --dvips passed to options.push ? line 1557 has: options.push("--nomp") For clarity, should that be disambiguated to --nompmode (otherwise it could conflict, if only in the reader's mind, with --nomprun). -Sanjoy `Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives.'
