This can sometimes be frustating. For example, a top float right after a section \setupindenting[big,yes] \section{test} \placefloat[top]{}{} \input knuth or a bottom float between two paragraphs \setupindenting[big,yes] \input tufte \placefloat[bottom]{}{} \input tufte The reason for different behaviour of top and bottom is the differce in their definition in page-flt \def\sometopfloat [#1]{\someelsefloat[#1]\nonoindentation} \def\somebottomfloat [#1]{\someelsefloat[#1]} I understand that it is difficult to make sure that all cases are handled correctly (automatically). So, I propose a manual solution. Make \placefloat honor indentnext. Then one can do \setupfloat [figure] [indentnext=auto] and then \setupindenting[big,yes] \section{test} \placefloat[top]{}{}%<-- No blank line \input knuth and \setupindenting[big,yes] \input tufte \placefloat[bottom]{}{}%<--blank line. \input tufte I am attaching a patch that takes care of this. It can be a stop gap solution for the time being.

XeTeX and fontconfig in the minimals?
by Mojca Miklavec 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

Hello Hans, I really rarely work on windows recently, but it would be great if the windows minimals would support xetex & fontconfig properly. Currently XeTeX fails to work since some libraries are missing (icuuc34.dll is reported, but others are missing as well). These was true some time ago: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Windows_Installation#XeTeX_Installation Most things still hold, the only thing is that binaries could now be taken from TeXLive. This is a list of missing files in bin: fc-{cache,case,cat,glyphname,lang,list,match}.exe icudt34.dll icule34.dll icuuc34.dll TECkit_x86.dll I don't know what these are, but they might be needed as well (no idea): nkf.exe ole32.dll oleaut32.dll rpcrt4.dll I don't have the TeXLive here, but if you take a look into ftp://akagi.ms.u-tokyo.ac.jp/pub/TeX/win32/xetex-w32.tar.bz2 the following is also *really* needed: - texmf/fonts/ {everything except opentype} (-doc/xetex/XeTeX-reference and xetex-guide might be useful, but not needed) "Setting up fontconfig" still holds as written on the wiki. Would it be possible to add these files and fontconfig settings? I would really like to remove that portion of instructions from the wiki. Thanks a lot, Mojca

Meanwhile, I checked out cont-fnt.zip, but it does not have the lbm* files either, only text font metrics are included. Cheers, Taco

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
