The test file that I committed does not have the mpprocset:=0, > so it can be used to test for mpprocset handling in dvi mode. It is a different set of macros. The macros that are used in dvi mode do not convert to pdf, but only convert colorspaces to other colorspaces. I know what is causing it, just not how to fix. Best, Taco

Yes, I just saw that extra line in spec-mis.tex. Updated TL, but only the files in tex/context/base and tex/context/interface. I also saw a small change in tex.rb, but I do not know it if it is important. Hans? Taco

New Debian packages
by Norbert Preining 12 Jan '07

12 Jan '07

Hi all! I have uploaded new Debian packages for context/context-nonfree to tug.org and Debian. These packages provide a workaround for using new context with texlive in Debian, ie pdftex < 1.40 by creating a symlink /var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdftex -> /var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdfetex If - you already had such a symlink - or you had a directory (but not a link) then upgrade will be smooth and you will not see anything, the directory or symlink will be removed and a link created to pdfetex. But if you have a symlink to some other place than pdfetex then upgrade will break, please remove it first! As soon as texlive 2006/7 with pdftex 1.40 enters Debian we can get rid of this hack.

[contexttest-Feature Requests][63] Allow attribution immediately following quotation blocks

Feature Requests item #63, was opened at 2007-01-10 04:05 You can respond by visiting: http://foundry.supelec.fr/tracker/?func=detail&atid=164&aid=63&group_id=21 Or by replying to this e-mail entering your response between the following markers: #+#+#+#+#+#+#+#+#+#+#+#+#+#+#+#+#+ (enter your response here) #+#+#+#+#+#+#+#+#+#+#+#+#+#+#+#+#+ Status: Open Priority: 3 Submitted By: Taco Hoekwater (taco) Assigned to: Nobody (None) Summary: Allow attribution immediately following quotation blocks Version: None Category: Typesetting Initial Comment: See the excerpt from a discussion with Oliver Buerschaper, below. That one uses a \cite command, but it could also be a footnote, or an Author's name or a wikipedia entry. \setupquotation[right={''\footnote{First}}] is not usable because it gets fed into \symbol[] and many things do not work well in that case (the \footnote, for example, disappears). Taco Oliver wrote: >The disappearing footnote may be unfixable within \startquotation. It >> would be easier to define your own start-stop pair for this, because >> \startquotation ... \stopquotation doesn't actually support tacking on >> stuff at the end. Try this instead: >> >> \long\def\startcitedquotation[#1]#2\stopcitedquotation >> {\bgroup \par >> \startnarrower >> \symbol[leftquotation]% >> #2\removeunwantedspaces >> \symbol[rightquotation]% >> \cite[#1] >> \stopnarrower >> \par \egroup} Works like a charm! Thanks very much for the workaround ... I've adapted it slightly so that the optional argument is treated as generic text ... in order to use \cite[], \footnote{\cite[]} or whatever else I need. Could this optional argument perhaps be integrated directly in the usual \startquotation command some day? I guess a lot of people will need this ... every quotation calls for a proper reference ;-) Cheers, Oliver ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Aditya Mahajan (adityam) Date: 2007-01-11 20:55 Message: I think that the reason for \cite and \footnote not working is this because the parameter right is typeset inside a \hsmash. For example see the output of \hsmash{Footnote lost\footnote{test}} I do not know why this is happening, but perhaps the following may help a guru \setbox0=\hbox{This is a test\footnote{Box Zero}} \setbox1=\hbox{This is a test\footnote{Box One}} \box0 %Only footnote mark is present \unhbox1 %Both footnote mark and the footnote is present One way to fix this is to redefine \rightdelimitedmark not to use a \hsmash \def\rightdelimitedtextmark {\delimitedtextparameter\c!right} % was {\hsmash{\delimitedtextparameter\c!right}} I do not know why the \hsmash is there so this may break something. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://foundry.supelec.fr/tracker/?func=detail&atid=164&aid=63&group_id=21

engine setting in context/texexec
by Norbert Preining 10 Jan '07

10 Jan '07

Hi Hans and Taco! I found something interesting, but I couldn't test properly till now: pdftex 1.40.1 sets engine=pdftex (not pdfetex), but texexec puts created formats into web2c/pdfetex, so they won't be found as soon as we have pdftex >= 1.40 around. Is there a way in texexec to adjust this?
