Hi Hans, Looks like am never going to get out of my installation problems without getting the write way to do it. Back to Bill's mc clain method, i have done the equivalent of this in XP: mv cont-tmf.zip /usr/TeX/texmf cd /usr/TeX/texmf rm tex/context/base/* # safer to clean out old files first rm metapost/context/base/* # ...also remove metafun files rm metapost/context/*.mp # ...and any from an obsolete version unzip -a -L -o cont-tmf.zip # overwrites existing files # Edit texexec.ini afterwards? cp context/config/texexec.rme context/config/texexec.ini # Edit cont-sys.tex afterwards? Specifically: uncomment the line: # # \autoloadmapfilestrue # # For Metapost use, make sure these lines are uncommented: # # \runMPgraphicstrue # \runMPTEXgraphicstrue # \useMETAFUNformattrue cp tex/context/user/cont-sys.rme tex/context/user/cont-sys.tex # # Edit /usr/TeX/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf and ensure that "shell_escape = t". This # is what TeX people somewhat obscurely call "write18 enabled". # export PATH=$PATH:/usr/TeX/bin/i386-linux # root doesn't have this on my system texhash texexec --make en # en = english texexec --make --alone metafun mv metafun.mem /usr/TeX/texmf-var/web2c/metafun.mem texhash exit # from "su root" Now, nothing changed within my context version, still ConTeXt ver: 2003.9.25 fmt: 2004.8.17 int: english mes: english. When i use a straight file (e.g AllInOneFile.tex) without the project structure another version of Context is used: ConTeXt ver: 2004.11.06 fmt: 2004.11.15 int: english mes: english Things stay the same wether i use the --pdf option or not. Many thanks :) Dirar. _________________________________________________________________ Dont just search. Find.

new issue of magazine

Hi, I uploaded http://www.pragma-ade.com/show-mag-9.htm or: \startbuffer[abstract] In this issue I will drop an idea that has been buzzing in my mind for a long time: how to comfortably deal with typesetting documents coded in \XML, while using the manipulative power of \XSLT\ on the one hand and the typesetting capabilities of \CONTEXT\ at the other hand, without seeing \TEX\ code. \stopbuffer Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Hi all, I'm newbie of ConTeXt. I use VnTeX (vietnamese package for LaTeX of Han The Thanh) with UTF-8 without any problem on teTeX 2.x (with pdflatex). Now I would like to try ConTeXt and if it works I'll convert all my LaTeX src into ConTeXt later. Anyone could give me some links to read for this please. Thank you in advance Regards,

\startexample
by David Arnold 13 Nov '04

13 Nov '04

All, I have this example I would like to typeset. \startexample Show that $0.\overline{621}$ is a rational number. \stopexample In this case, there are three digits under the repeating bar. If we let $x=0.\overline{621}$, then multiply by 1000, we have \startformula \eqalign{1000x&=621.621621\dots\cr x&=\phantom{62}0.621621\dots.} \stopformula Subtracting, \startformula \eqalign{999x&=621\cr x&={621\over 999}.} \stopformula Dividing numerator and denominator by 27 (or first by 9 then by 3), we find that $0.\overline{621}=23/37$. Thus, $0.\overline{621}$, being the ratio of two integers, is rational. I have defined: \defineenumeration [example] [location=serried, text=Example, before=\blank, after=\blank style=slanted] What I would really like is an enumeration where only the example state is in slanted type, then the solution follows (without an indent) in upright (normal) font. At the end of the solution, I'd like a little symbol at the lower right to indicate the end of the solution, then a little blank space before continuing the narrative. Can someone help me with this?

clashing filenames for modules
by Hans Hagen 12 Nov '04

12 Nov '04

Hi, As reaction on an earlier remark on this list concerning clashing names between modules (*-layout): \usemodule[layout] can also be used as: \usemodule[t][layout] which means that the third party module will be loaded.

\in{hyperref}[tableref] at first char of line causes misplaced paragraph
by Nigel King 11 Nov '04

11 Nov '04

Hi, This has bugged me for a number of years and I have only just realised the exact cause. Previous requests to solve table and figure spacing problems are all due to this I think. Basically the hyperreference in the first character of a paragraph mangles the paragraph formatting. Below is a minimum (I think) file which demonstrates the problem very clearly. \setupinteraction[state=start] \setupwhitespace[big] \starttext \input tufte \startbuffer[] \bTABLE[width=2.5in] \bTR \bTD \input tufte \eTD\eTR \eTABLE \stopbuffer \placetable [right] [tab:1] {A Table} {\getbuffer[]} \input tufte \in{Table}[tab:1] this paragraph does not format correctly because the hypereference is at the first character of the paragraph. Note that the spacing (before) is incorrect as well as the width. T\in{able}[tab:1] this paragraph does format correctly because the hypereference is not using the first character of the paragraph. \input tufte \stoptext TIA Nigel King
