Overfull boxes using m-cweb
by Edwin Wisse 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

Hello, I am running into overfull boxes when including a weaved cweb file into a context document. The original reference to the cwebmac.tex file (the plain TeX macro) is commented out and replaced by \usemodule[cweb]. The cweb macros appear to expand something into \*11ptmmmt* which seems to have something to do with it. Is there anyone here with experience and deep (Con)TeX(t) knowledge who understands what is happening? Regards, Edwin ----------------------------------part of my log file------------------------------------------------ Overfull \hbox (6.4885pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 3--13 \*11ptmmmr* for the ap-pli-ca-tion de-vel-op-ment mod-ule.

compound titles, lists and headers
by Henning Hraban Ramm 26 Sep '10

26 Sep '10

Dear list, my publisher forces me to set different things as titles, in headers and table of contents. In some cases \nolist and \nomarking aren't enough. here are my actual definitions: ---- \def\Untertitel#1{\blank[3pt]{\ss\bf #1}\blank} % ok \def\Titel#1#2{{\nohyphens\chapter{#1}\Untertitel{#2}}} % ok \def\KomplexTitel#1#2#3{{\writetolist[chapter]{#3}\nohyphens\title{#1}\U ntertitel{#2}}} ---- with ---- \start \setupheadertexts[][manual entry][part][] % normally defined as [][chapter][part][] \KomplexTitel{Main chapter title}{chapter subtitle}{toc entry} Much text \stop % of other headertext ---- Real life example: \start \setupheadertexts [][Vorwort][][] \KomplexTitel{Die neutrale Schweiz und das globale Dorf}% {Vorwort von Prof.|~|Dr.|~|Heinrich Ott}% {Vorwort Prof.|~|Dr.|~|Heinrich Ott:\\Die neutrale Schweiz und das globale Dorf} ... Now there stay two issues: 1. I'd like to get a four-parameter command that can set the header text also. 2. I must get a line feed into the toc, but neither \\ nor \crlf works. Please help! Thanks.

listings.sty
by Peter Münster 11 Jul '08

11 Jul '08

Hello, I suggested to the author of the very feature rich LaTeX-Listings package, Carsten Heinz, to port this package to ConTeXt, and it seems, that he is interested. But before doing it, there are some questions: * What do Hans and other people thing about that? * listings.sty uses keyval.sty, how is the proper ConTeXt-way to do the same things as keyval, or should listings stay with keyval?

critical editions in context
by Thomas A.Schmitz 15 Mar '05

15 Mar '05

Sorry if this is a double post; I sent this message on Friday, and I think it somehow got lost. In March/April 2002, Hans and Idris had an interesting exchange about the topic "critical editions in context" here in ntg-context; the main question was whether the functionality of edmac could be implemented in context. I'd be curious to know whether anything came out of it, I couldn't find any follow-up. Best Thomas

Wrapping \type{}
by Nikolai Weibull 02 Dec '04

02 Dec '04

In my BNF module I use " as an active character that begins and ends terminals in the grammar: <regex>: <branch> ; <branch>, "\|", <regex>. Now, the above doesn't quite work as written, as \ is still active (and so is, in fact | as we're really inside a \starttabulate. What I would like for the "" pair to do is work as a wrapper for \type{}, so that everything in-between is passed on to \type{}. Is there a way of getting them to do that? This is my current definition: \gdef"% {\ifBNFoutsidestring% \global\BNFoutsidestringfalse% \begingroup% \BNFunsetcatcodes% \catcode`\"\@@active% \@@bnfterminalstart% \else% \@@bnfterminalstop% \endgroup% \global\BNFoutsidestringtrue% \fi} I figured something like \long\gdef"#1"% {\type{#1}} might work, but it didn't. It chokes on "." where . is also an activated character for terminating a production in the grammar. Any suggestions on how to go about this? I mean, the obvious solution is simply to write <regex>: <branch> ; <branch>, "\type{\|}", <regex>. instead, but I would like to keep the input as clean as possible. 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);}

Hello all, I am new on this list, trying these days to learn about context and considering switching from laTex to context. I have downloaded and unzipped the mbib package but not found *any* installation instructions, only some files plus a very brief README.

wrong patch

12 Aug '04

Hi, The previous post was wrong; I was playing with write tests recently and send an old fragment; the right one is: sub RunFiles { my $currentpath = cwd() ; # test if current path is writable if (! -w "$currentpath") { print " current path readonly : $currentpath\n"; if ($ENV["TEMP"] && -e $ENV["TEMP"]) { $RunPath = $ENV["TEMP"] ; } elsif ($ENV["TMP"] && -e $ENV["TMP"]) { $RunPath = $ENV["TMP"] ; } } # test if we need to change paths if (($RunPath ne "") && (-w "$RunPath")) { print " changing to path : $RunPath\n"; $InpPath = $currentpath ; chdir ($RunPath) ; } # start working if ($PdfArrange) { Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE/POD/CTS Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------
