Metapost produces "unknown"
by Aditya Mahajan 23 Nov '04

23 Nov '04

Hi, I tried an example for generating linear text placement. % File text.mp input mp-tool ; % some initializations and auxiliary macros input mp-spec ; % macros that support special features prologues := 2; beginfig(1) draw hlintext.lft(0, 20, 5, 20cm, "@3e") ; draw vlogtext.bot(0, 10, 9, 10cm, "@3e") ; endfig; end; %----------------------------- and compile it using $texexec -mptex text.mp (Output given at bottom) I get the error unknown file type: texmfscripts and the eps file text.1 has "unknown" written all over the place. There is something misconfigured in my system (Windows XP Miktex, updated tonight). Can someone help me to debug the problem.

Degree sign half-works
by Duncan Hothersall 23 Nov '04

23 Nov '04

Hi all. The following, when run through live.contextgarden.net (and my own installation), produces odd results: %Input is utf8 (Unicode) \enableregime[utf] \useencoding[uc] %MathML is processed directly \useXMLfilter[utf] \usemodule[mathml] \starttext Test normal text: 180Â° Test MathML: \startXMLdata <math display="block" id="gincp74b"> <mrow> <mn>108</mn><mo>Â°</mo> </mrow> </math>\stopXMLdata \stoptext When the degree sign appears in normal text it works fine, when it appears in MathML it comes out as $^$. I have been searching in the base files but can't see the hook. Can anyone point me in the right direction to fix this? Thanks. Duncan

columnset's bodyfont+interlinespace ?
by Steffen Wolfrum 23 Nov '04

23 Nov '04

Hi, when using \startcolumns I could use: \startcolumns[n=2,rule=off] \setupindenting[none] \switchtobodyfont[8.5pt]\setupinterlinespace[line=10pt] \clubpenalty=0\widowpenalty=10000\displaywidowpenalty=10000\brokenpenalty=0 ... but when using \definecolumnset[myset][n=2] \startcolumnset[myset] \switchtobodyfont[8.5pt]\setupinterlinespace[line=10pt] ... doesn't work (actually it ends in halfempty pages). How to set fontsize+interlinespace with columnsets ? Steffen

nice winxp sp2 blue screen if rsync
by olivier Turlier 22 Nov '04

22 Nov '04

I've tryed using (is that natural?) rsync on win xp (for testing Hans method for updating Contex). It works smooth if you stay away from xp sp2. Otherwise, you get a blue screen complaining about memory pbs (error/non error tested twice, on 2 differents win$$box). -- Olivier TURLIER

Request: translation of texshow-web
by Patrick Gundlach 22 Nov '04

22 Nov '04

Dear ConTeXt (and texshow-web) users, I am currently translating texshow-web into various languages. Well I'd like to, but all languages besides german (and english) give me headaches... So I am looking for some native speakers to help me translating. The job is pretty easy, I'd send you a small textfile and you send it back to me with some strings translated (currently 35 strings, but there is also the help page and main page...)

Questions about TOC
by Thomas A.Schmitz 22 Nov '04

22 Nov '04

A very timid question: did anything change in the recent versions about generation of TOCs? I could swear that this worked a couple of weeks ago, but I can't make it work now: 1) I want numbered and unnumbered chapters, so I use \chapter{} and \title{}. I thought that the \title-parts were included in the TOC by default, but they don't show up, regardless of what I do. 2) I can't get any of the alternatives to work properly. Here's an sample file: \starttext \setupcombinedlist[content][alternative=c] \placecontent \chapter{1} \section{a} \section{b} \section{c} \chapter{2} \section{a} \section{b} \title{I} \section{a} \section{b} \section{c} \title{II} \stoptext Tried appending the [alternative=c] to \placecontent as well, no change. And as I said, I could have sworn it worked a couple of weeks ago. Ideas, anybody? Thanks! Thomas

\mathstrut in \underbrace and nath
by Nikolai Weibull 22 Nov '04

22 Nov '04

Example: \usemodule[nath] \starttext \startnathequation \underbrace{\mathstrut rr\dots r}_{n \text{times}} \stopnathequation \stoptext Error: ! Missing } inserted. <inserted text> } <to be read again> \o@dollar \o@math ->\o@dollar \relax \finishddelimbox@ ->\mathclose {} \o@math \egroup \delim@l #1#2->\mathopen {} \finishddelimbox@ \put@ {\the \ht \sizebox }\ht@... \mathph@nt ...tbox \nextbox \voidb@x {$\m@th #1{#2 }$} ... l.4 ...race{\mathstrut rr\dots r}_{n \text{times}} ? My guess is that the expansion of \mathstrut, being \vphantom(, is being misinterpreted as a delimiter (as '(' is active in nath), but that's just a layman's guess. nikolai -- ::: name: Nikolai Weibull :: aliases: pcp / lone-star / aka ::: ::: born: Chicago, IL USA :: loc atm: Gothenburg, Sweden ::: ::: page: www.pcppopper.org :: fun atm: gf,lps,ruby,lisp,war3 ::: main(){printf(&linux["\021%six\012\0"],(linux)["have"]+"fun"-97);}
