Installation problems
by Wolfgang Werners-Lucchini 30 Apr '03

30 Apr '03

Hallo! I don't understand fontinstallation and fontselection at all. I tryed the following: ---------------------------------------------- \setupbodyfont[ppl] \starttext Blub. \stoptext ---------------------------------------------- First the tfm for 'ec-uplr8a' is not found. Why? What have I to change? Then I used Patricks 'adobekb' and the two lines: ---------------------------------------------- \usetypescriptfile[adobekb] \usetypescript[adobekb][\defaultencoding] ---------------------------------------------- in cont-sys.tex I get an error from dvi-viewer, that an pk-file for 'pplr8t' is missing. There is neither an vf-file with this name. Then I tried to change the encoding and changed cont-sys.tex to: ----------------------------------------------- \setupencoding[default=8r] \usetypescriptfile[adobekb] \usetypescript[adobekb][\defaultencoding] ----------------------------------------------- This time, the pk-file for 'pplr8r' is not found. An equivalent vf-file is missing too. This is the second installation of tetex, the first was debian original, this is TeX Live 7. What can I do, to make the whole thing running? Tired, Wolfgang

numbering of floats
by Martin Kolařík 30 Apr '03

30 Apr '03

Hi all, I had (have) a problem with numbering of floats. I use three kind of floats, generic figure and table and mine inherited graph. Of course, tables and graph are numbered separately. When the floats would be renumbered (in my case I had "table 3" in the document before "graph 2") the floats are renumbered badly -- result was "graph 3" before "table 2". So floats and their captions ar OK, but numbers not. Any ideas? Thanks and have a nice day, Martin -------- Martin Kolarik Moravske Pristroje, a.s., Masarykova 1148, Zlin 76302 tel. +420 603 498 498, fax +420 577 107 171 web: http://www.mii.cz -------- e-mail: kolarik(a)mii.cz e-mail: kolarik(a)click.cz tel. +420 603 535 593

Natural tables alignment
by Martin Kolařík 30 Apr '03

30 Apr '03

Hi all, before some time I asked if there is some way to define alignment of bTABLE if it is used onside text, not as an float. Hans answered me, if I remember, it needs new option. Was not made some advance? I cannot enclose table into hbox, because this solution denies automatic table splitting (over pages).

Re: [NTG-context] Inclusion of flow chart
by emmanuel.rialland＠sgib.com 30 Apr '03

Thanks Hans. Apologies if the discussion doesn't flow very much, I am writing from down under. In fact, what I would ideally like to do is the following: 1- Define a template with the boxes without any arrows. 2- Write numbered lists describing arrows that would be generated on top of the template. The overview might look like the following (with some bogus macro names): % Somewhere in a template file % Template for the boxes: \StartMPTemplate[Boxes] % % ----- ----- ----- % ! ! ! ! ! ! % ! A ! ! B ! ! C ! % ----- ----- ----- % \startFLOWcell \name {a} \location {1,1} \shape {action} \text {\ss A} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \name {b} \location {2,1} \shape {action} \text {\ss B} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \name {c} \location {3,1} \shape {action} \text {\ss C} \stopFLOWcell \StopMPTemplate ------------------------------------------------------------------ % This creates the first chapter \startcomponent Right \Chapter{Every to the right} % Inserts a float with the proper figure and the proper arrows using the difinitions coming afterward \StartMPGraphWithTemplate[Right] \IncludeFLOWchartTemplate[Boxes] \StopMPGraphWithTemplate % Place the float \placefigure [here,force] [fig:chart1] {Chart One} {\framed{\FLOWchart[Right]}} % normal itemised text that will be numbered and will dynamically add tyhe arrows to the figure [Right] \startitemizeWithFLOWchart \arrow[labels=number,from=a,fromside=r,to=b,toside=l] This is the first arrow. \arrow[labels=number,from=b,fromside=r,to=c,toside=l] This is the second arrow. \stopitemizeWithFLOWchart % This is the result % % ----- ----- ----- % ! ! 1 ! ! 2 ! ! % ! A !---->! B !---->! C ! % ! ! ! ! ! ! % ----- ----- ----- % % The text should appear below the float as \startitemize would have done % 1 This is the first arrow. % 2 This is the second arrow. ------------------------------------------------------------------ % This creates the next chapter \startcomponent Left \Chapter{Every to the left} % Inserts a float with the proper figure and the proper arrows using the difinitions coming afterward \StartMPGraphWithTemplate[Left] \IncludeFLOWchartTemplate[Boxes] \StopMPGraphWithTemplate % normal itemised text that will be numbered and will dynamically add tyhe arrows to the figure [Right] \startitemizeWithFLOWchart \arrow[labels=number,from=c,fromside=r,to=a,toside=l] This is the top arrow. \stopitemizeWithFLOWchart % This is the result % !------------------------------ % ! ----- ----- ----- ! % ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! % -->! A ! ! B ! ! C !--! % ! ! ! ! ! ! % ----- ----- ----- % % The idea is that everything is dynamic: - if the template changes, all the graphs get redrawn with the boxes at their new place. The arrows get moved as needed. - if the itemised text is changed (say the 'second arrow' line is written before the 'first arrow'), then on the graph, the arrow from a to b would be numbered 2 and the arrow from b to c would become 1. What I tried is the definition you see at the top for the boxes. Then, to generate the first graph, I would have: --------------------------------------------------- \startFLOWchart[chart] % Inserts template \includeFLOWchart[template][x=1,y=1] % Additional information on top of cell a \startFLOWcell \name {a} \connection [rl] {b} \comment [t] {\ss 1} \stopFLOWcell % Additional information on top of cell b \startFLOWcell \name {b} \connection [rl] {c} \comment [t] {\ss 2} \stopFLOWcell \stopFLOWchart --------------------------------------------------- All I get is the template without any arrows. I thought about trying to generate massive metafun macros. But I want the itemised text to be text and not a graph. Bottom line: is it possible? realistic? I have been using MS Word so far to do that sort of thing. It has been quite tedious to reflect any change in the box structure: 10 charts means 10 charts to re-edit. As a bonus question that should be easier. Is it possible to draw other sorts of arrows: i would like to draw straght line arrows that could follow a diagonal (say go north-east instead of east first then north), or circular arrows like: % % ----- % ! ! % ! !<-- % ----- \ % \ % | % ----- / % ! ! / % ! A !<-- % ----- As usual any help is welcome.

What is the status of the bibliography module?
by Maarten Sneep 28 Apr '03

28 Apr '03

Hi, I've searched the mailing list archives on the bib module. There are no really recent entries, so I'm wondering what the current status is. More specifically: I am trying to get the bibliography module to work like I want it to work. Does anyone have a bibl-???.tex lying around that formats for a common physics journal (say Physical Review or similar? I'll give an example of what I want below.) I need mostly articles and some books, not much else (incomplete support is not a problem), I'm not picky, if you have something that uses numerical references and cite order in the final list, I'm a happy camper... Sorted by citation order, a journal entry should look like this: Initials Name, Initials Name and Initials Name, \quote{Title}, Journal {\bf Volume}, pagestart (year). If there are more than 3 authors, use {\em et al.}. For a book: Author(s), \crlf {\em Title,} (editors) \crlf edition, Publisher, City, year Thanks for the help, Maarten > fortune bash: fortune: command not found

Widows and Orphans in columns
by John Culleton 28 Apr '03

28 Apr '03

Do the normal controls \widowpenalty and \clubpenalty work with Context? Do they work with ordinary columns? Do they work with columnsets? Are there higher level Context constructs I should be using for this purpose in columns?

latest beta
by Martin Kolařík 28 Apr '03

28 Apr '03

Hi all, after installing the latest beta (the one with colmunsets) I have found problems with heads -- heads on all levels and sublevels use style of the top level (chapter or title). Another settings like spacing etc. works fine. I tried compile the beta three times (:-), twice at home, once at office). Maybe I do any systematic error, but now I do not know which...
