Hi willi, i run on a linux only box with a vanilla SuSE 9.0 texexec --version TeXExec 3.1 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2002 rpm: te_cont-2.0.2-48 pdftex --version pdfTeX (Web2C 7.4.5) 3.14159-1.10b kpathsea version 3.4.5 Copyright (C) 1997-2003 Han The Thanh. rpm: te_pdf-2.0.2-48 xdvi --version xdvik version 22.40v Copyright (C) 1990-2002 Paul Vojta and others. rpm:tetex-2.0.2-48 hope that helps. The xdvi display is more or less useless because i dont see text inside the boxes. BUT i can use the lens to read it :). walter - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Original Message - - - - - - - - - - - - - - From: Willi Egger <w.egger(a)boede.nl> Subject: Re: [NTG-context] pdf problem Date: 12/03/03 19:04 Hi Walter I tried to reproduce your faulty behaviour on a WindowsXP machine with the TeX Collection 2003 and the latest beta of ConTeXt installed. 1. The resulting pdf does not miss the 1 from \text {DB freigeben ;\\ return 1;\\} 2. The resulting dvi file, viewed with windvi has correct text typeset, but there are no shapes drawn. Interestingly the file you have in the .tar does show the 1 in Acrobat 5 and 6! Windvi is not able to display the charts correctly, the text is typeset to expectation, no shapes are drawn. Do you work on a Linux box? Which version of PDFTeX do you use? Which version of ConTeXt do zou use?

Recommendation for creating, XHTML and PDF versions of single document
by Frank 04 Dec '03

04 Dec '03

Hi, I have been very happy to use ConTeXt and LaTeX to create documents for printed media or onscreen PDF. Currently I am working with some documents that I want to publish in XHTML and PDF (print and screen). What would be the best way to achieve this? - Write in ConTeXt and convert it to XHTML - Write in some XML format like docbook and convert that to XHTML and PDF? I am leaning toward authoring in XML as it is the most flexible, but it is also very verbose and probably requires much more effort in the toolchain to create the output format's I want. Please let me know your experiences and recommendations. Best Regards, Frank

Absolute positioning
by Gilles Pérez-Lambert 02 Dec '03

Hello, I didn't find a way to put text at specific locations on the page. It must be something obvious! :-) I try to design a screen document where every notes are, say, typeset on the lower half of the page and appear only when clicking on their number in the text (with layers I think). Thnaks in advance, Gilles. PS for Hans: I didn't forget the note problem we've discussed in Mâcon. I'll build a test file.

Hi patrick, just to explain WHY i got confused. I was looking at knuth.tex as a simple example. An *this* example contains no \startX or \stopX . So i got the impression that contex may not need them. And when you see the examples in "typesetting flow charts" no hint either. It would enought to add \starttext \FLOWchart[grid] \stoptext on page 2. Then you have a (working) example; problem solved. btw: any document describing something should have a complet working example. when you start with something totaly new, you have no ide where to look for an error. a simple typo can cause havoc distracing you from the real problem. regards, wh - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Original Message - - - - - - - - - - - - - - From: Patrick Gundlach <pg(a)levana.de> Subject: [NTG-context] Re: installing context with tetex Date: 12/01/03 16:27 Hello Walter, > thats it :) > i was unaware of the \starttext \stoptext :( You should alway start with a simple document and then extend it. > > Hallo hans ? > can you please adjust the "typesetting.." document ? So at least at start > it should have a full example. Which document are you talking about. Can you give the filename or the full title? If this is a specialized document: You should do some steps with pure ConTeXt first.

page arrangement
by Vit Zyka 02 Dec '03

02 Dec '03

Hallo ConTeXt list members, I'd like to arrange A5 landscape pages to A4 in this order ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- | 1 | | 2 | | 5 | | 6 | | 9 | | 10 | ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- | 3 | | 4 | | 7 | | 8 | | 11 | | 12 | ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- for doublesided printing. I'd tried to set \setuparranging[2DOWN] or \setuparranging[2TOP] but it is not desired arrangement. I also experimented with \pusharrangedpage... \poparrangedpages... \handlearrangedpage... macros but I wasn't succsessful. Please, can somebody help me? Send answer also to my private address vit.zyka(a)seznam.cz since my dial up connection due to long time traveling does not enable to be member of the lively conference. Thanks, Vit Zyka
