Metapost calling TeX (ConTeXt)

(please excuse my poor english) I'm using ConTeXt with the distribution of teTeX by Gerben Wierda (with iInstaller) under MacOS X (10.2.6). Version of texmf.ii2 : 2003/04/15 12:03:57 This works perfectly : \starttext \startMPpage label("aa",(0,0)) ; draw fullcircle scaled 3cm ; \stopMPpage \stoptext \end But this don't work : \starttext \startMPpage label(btex aa etex,(0,0)) ; draw fullcircle scaled 3cm ; \stopMPpage \stoptext \end Who can help me ?

(not testet yet!) Problems: 1. The bodyfont is 12pt per default, so pdftex uses bu1200.tfm to calculate the text. The chaptertitle is then in 20.74pt, but pdftex doesn't use the existing font bu2074.tfm, but scales the bodyfont by a factor of 1.728. As a result, mktexpk calculates the pk files bu1200.600pk and bu1200.1037pk, and not bu1200.600pk and bu2074.600pk. I tried to include the commentet two lines in the typescript, because I always found written sizes in context with one digit behind the point, but the result is negativ too. 2. The log-file contains the following: > ) (./type-bunt.tex) > fonts : [calligraphy] [bunt] [name,default,ec,special] My typescript neighter contains a section [ec] nor a section [special]. What are they for? Why are they referenced in the log. > ) (./type-bunt.tex > bodyfont : bodyfont 7.6pt is defined (can better be done global) > bodyfont : bodyfont 7.6pt is defined (can better be done global) > bodyfont : bodyfont 5.4pt is defined (can better be done global) > .... lots of this lines. Most exist doubly, some not. What is this? I have not redefined 7.6pt or 5.4pt ...? Gru�, Wolfgang

Frames kill indenting of paragraphs
by Emil Hedevang Lohse 21 May '03

21 May '03

Hello. I am trying to put frames around some of my enumerations (which I use to typeset theorems, lemmas, etc.), but when I put a frame around the enumeration, the indenting of the paragraphs disappears. Here is some sample code: \setupoutput[pdftex] \enableregime[il1] \setuppapersize[A4][A4] \setupbodyfont[cmr,11pt] \setupspacing[packed] \setupinterlinespace[medium] \setupspacing[packed] \setupindenting[medium] \indenting[yes,next] \defineenumeration[MyEnum] [location=serried, indenting={yes,next}] \defineframedtext[MyFrame] [indenting={yes,next}] \defineframedcontent[mine] [indenting={yes,next}] \starttext \startMyEnum Does it work?\par Yes, it does!\par \stopMyEnum \startframedcontent[mine] Does it work?\par No, it does not!\par \stopframedcontent \startframedcontent[mine] \startMyEnum Does it work?\par No, it does not!\par \stopMyEnum \stopframedcontent \startMyFrame \startMyEnum Does it work?\par No, it does not!\par \stopMyEnum \stopMyFrame -- Emil Hedevang Lohse <http://home.imf.au.dk/emil/> Alle spørgsmål er lige dumme.

Line Tables problem

I tried to check the new line-table module for ConTeXt and for a rough start, the demo present in core-ltb.tex which start with: \setuplinetable[n=6,m={2,2,2},regels=25] \setuplinetable[c][1][width=2cm,background=color,backgroundcolor=red] \setuplinetable[c][4][width=3cm,background=color,backgroundcolor=yellow] .. doesn't work. The error message is: !

m-bib and numeric references
by Maarten Sneep 20 May '03

20 May '03

Hi, I use the bibliography module for my references, and I have trouble setting it up like I want it. 1) I want to use numeric references, like [1] in the text. I'm getting a nice numbered list, but no numbers in the text, just [??]. What do I do wrong, according to the docs this should work. Below are the relevant lines from my setup: % bibliography \setupbibtex[database={ljname,references},sort=no] \setuppublications[alternative=apa] \setuppublications[sorttype=cite, criterium=used, numbering=yes, autohang=yes, refcommand=num] \setupcite[num][compress=yes,pubsep={, },lastpubsep={, },inbetween={--},left={[}, right={]}] \setupheadtext[en][pubs=Bibliography] 2) A minor other question, how do I right-align the numbers in the list, like .. .. 8. 9. 10. 11. ... you get the idea ;-) Regards, Maarten Mad, adj.: Affected with a high degree of intellectual independence.
