A change in ConTeXt content-lists?
by Michal Kvasnicka 04 Sep '03

04 Sep '03

Good evening. Some time ago I've typeset a rather complex document. Now I wanted to make some changes in its content (the text) but I wasn't able to compile it. The new version of ConTeXt/texutil/texexec ( ConTeXt ver: 2003.8.21, TeXExec 3.3) is probably slightly different. The first problem (\white in the textstyle of \setuphead) I have already fixed, but there is still one more problem. Can some of you help me? My problem is in the content-list. The first processing of the documnet is all right. In the second run I get this error message: (./dso_casove_rady.tuo ! Use of \@@lisectioninteractie doesn't match its definition. \doifvalue ...f \!!stringa {\csname #1\endcsname } \edef \!!stringb {#2}\ifx ... \dosomelijstelement ... #1\c!interactie }\v!tekst {\setlistparameter {#1}\c!... \dodolijstelement ...ment {#1}{#2}{#3}{#4}{#5}{#6} \global \utilitydonetrue l.42 ...zy časových řad}{2::0:1:2:0:0:0:0::11}{11} I also get many warnings like this: references : duplicate reference [][high] on page 1 (dso_casove_rady) Can some of you hint me where the bug (in my macros, not in ConTeXt) can be? I'm totally lost. Many thanks for your kind help. Michal Kvasnicka

Greek letters?
by Mari Voipio 04 Sep '03

04 Sep '03

This is probably FAQ stuff but I'm in the middle of the end-of-project frenzy and don't have much time to hunt for an answer (especially when my computer arranged for a full day of extra work by busting the hard disk - at least I now can handily install our TeXLive+ConTeXt publishing system...). I would need a capital Omega. I thought this is a piece of cake and found the command \Omega on the TeX quick reference sheet. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work, I just get blank spot in the file. My font settings are: \enableregime[il1] %makes ConTeXt Windows compatible \usetypescript[berry][ec] %magic to make fonts work at all \setupbodyfont[pos,10pt] %my chosen fonts and font size Is there a module I should load to get the Greek? Or something I should put around the command? Or is it just the combination of encoding and regime that does this? Help will be deeply appreciated, Mari from Finland (with an end-of-project irritated boss)

Patrick, > could you provide a minimal file? here it comes. I could send to you directly my resulting PDF if that helps. I use MikTex an fetched the full Context distribution from pragma. I also followed the make steps mentioned in the readmes an installation instructions. Perhaps I missed some 'setup' things?

Dear ConTeXt hackers, what is this \setupsystem[\c!gebied={/Users/pg/}] doing in my .tmp file? What is the purpose of the setting? How can I overwrite this (if it is useful for anything)? Patrick

Hyperlinks to locations in other documents
by Nigel King 03 Sep '03

03 Sep '03

Hi, I am trying to get a group of documents to link together. The references to the other document work but the hyperlinks only open the document on the first page. What am I doing wrong? The linktest1 has links to testdoc2. For those trying them you may need to change the font part since my fonts are non standard (subject of other problems). Key lines from testdoc1.tex are \useexternaldocument[testdoc][testdoc2][This document is a test link] \goto{contents}[testdoc::contents] And key lines from testdoc2.tex are \page[yes] \section[contents]{Contents List} TIA -- Nigel
