lvert rvert etc in math
by Aditya Mahajan 19 Mar '07

19 Mar '07

Hi Hans and Taco, amsmath.sty defines \lvert and \rvert which provide correct spacing when \vert is used as a left or a right delimiter (code at the end of email). I do not completely understand what amsmath is trying to do. Wouldn't \definemathsymbol [lvert] [open] [sy] ["6A] [ex] ["0C] \definemathsymbol [rvert] [close] [sy] ["6A] [ex] ["0C] this achieve the same goal? AMS code: % \subsection{Vertical bar symbols} % Add left/right specific versions of \cn{vert}, \cn{Vert}. Don't % assume the delimiter codes are the CM defaults. % \begin{macrocode} \def\@tempa#1#2\@nil{% \ifx\delimiter#1\@tempcnta#2\relax\else\@tempcnta\z@\fi } \@xp\@tempa\vert\@empty\@nil \ifnum\@tempcnta>\z@ \advance\@tempcnta "4000000 \xdef\lvert{\delimiter\number\@tempcnta\space } \advance\@tempcnta "1000000 \xdef\rvert{\delimiter\number\@tempcnta\space } \else \ifx\@@undefined\lvert % Fall back to cmex encoding since we don't know what else to do. \DeclareMathDelimiter{\lvert} {\mathopen}{symbols}{"6A}{largesymbols}{"0C} \DeclareMathDelimiter{\rvert} {\mathclose}{symbols}{"6A}{largesymbols}{"0C} \fi \fi \@xp\@tempa\Vert\@empty\@nil \ifnum\@tempcnta>\z@ \advance\@tempcnta "4000000 \xdef\lVert{\delimiter\number\@tempcnta\space } \advance\@tempcnta "1000000 \xdef\rVert{\delimiter\number\@tempcnta\space } \else \ifx\@@undefined\lVert \DeclareMathDelimiter{\lVert} {\mathopen}{symbols}{"6B}{largesymbols}{"0D} \DeclareMathDelimiter{\rVert} {\mathclose}{symbols}{"6B}{largesymbols}{"0D} \fi \fi Aditya

It has been like that almost since day one, so I am not at all sure Hans would consider it a bug, just different from LaTeX (plain). Cheers, Taco

Debian ConTeXt packages 2007.02.20
by Norbert Preining 25 Feb '07

25 Feb '07

Hi all! Ok, it took a bit of time, but there is now also a Debian packages for ConTeXt release 2007.02.20. deb http://www.tug.org/texlive/Debian/ context/ deb-src http://www.tug.org/texlive/Debian/ context/ BUT!!! You need the new lmodern 1.01 Debian package for this: deb http://www.tug.org/texlive/Debian/ lmodern/ deb-src http://www.tug.org/texlive/Debian/ lmodern/ I will upload both of these packages soon to Debian EXPERIMENTAL (!!!). Since Florent (main responsible for the lmodern package) and I agreed that we don't want to push lmodern 1.01 into etch (and there it is not necessary since there is no independent context package), the upload will go to experimental. As long as you have the above apt-get source nothing will change for you, but for people only using Debian/unstable source there will be no update. If you have any questions please let me know!

Math subformula numbering
by Aditya Mahajan 25 Feb '07

25 Feb '07

Hi Hans, Taco and Mojca, There is a bit of inconsistency between the two subformula numbering methods (\startsubformulas that I wrote, and \NR[+][a] of \startalign). While writing a paper I realized that both of them are needed. For example \startsubformulas[eq:encoder] \placeformula \startformula \startalign \NC Z_1 \EQ c_1 (X_1), \NR[eq:encoder 1] \intertext{and for $t=2,\dots,T$,} \NC Z_t \EQ c_t (X_1, \dots, X_t, \tilde Y_1, \dots, \tilde Y_{t-1}). \NR[eq:encoder t] \stopalign \stopformula \stopsubformulas and \placeformula \startformula \startalign \NC \hat X_t \EQ g_1(Y_1) \NR[eq:decoder][a] \NC M_1 \EQ l_1(Y_1) \NR[eq:memory][a] \intertext{and for $t=2,\dots,T$,} \decrementnumber[formula] \decrementnumber[formula] \NC \hat X_t \EQ g_t(Y_t, M_{t-1}) \NR[+][b] \NC M_t \EQ l_t(Y_t, M_{t-1}) \NR[+][b] \stopalign \stopformula However, the startsubformulas uses \@@fnseparator as separator while \NR[+][a] uses no separator. It is relatively straight forward to make \NR honor the separator, in \dododoformulanumber change \edef\hetnumber{#2} to \edef\hetnumber{\@@fnseparator#2} and \edef\hetnumber{#4} to \edef\hetnumber{\@@fnseparator#4} To maintain backward compatibility we can change \setupsubformulas[separator=\@@fmseparator] to \setupsubformulas[separator=] Any comments? I think that Mojca and I are the only people who use \startsubformulas right now (my fault, have not documented them), so breaking the backward compatibility of \startsubformulas should not be too big a problem.

Hi, If you update your tex to the latest tex live cq. debian, also get the latest latin modern http://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry/latin-modern/download (you don't need the context related zip there; i need that for older setups) TeX Live ships with incomplete map files.

Ancient greek (duplicate character)
by Taco Hoekwater 21 Feb '07

21 Feb '07

Hi Thomas, This comes from enco-agr.tex: line 97 \definecharacter greekperispomeni 94 line 131 \definecharacter greekperispomeni 126 That does not make much sense. One of them is wrong and should be renamed, I assume. Cheers, Taco

\rm in pmod, bmod, etc
by Aditya Mahajan 20 Feb '07

20 Feb '07

Hi Hans and Taco, Do you think it makes sense to replace {\rm mod} in the definition of bmod and pmod (in math-pln.tex) by \mfunction{mod}? Aditya
