I'd like to see the sources of all the PDF files available at pragma-ade. Its much easier to look at examples and learn from it than to ask for complete documentation. Salman

Best source of ConTeXt documentation?
by Brooks Moses 02 Aug '04

02 Aug '04

In my efforts to learn ConTeXt, I'm continually getting stuck by a lack of having complete documentation. For example, consider the \definestartstop command, which I was recently looking at. * In the cont-enp.pdf manual, it's not mentioned. * In the mp-cp-en.pdf manual, there's an example of it, but it's not really very clear what the difference is between what the "commands=" and "before=" options do. In addition, there's no indication whether these are all the possible options or not,… [View More]

Metapost: minus sign as "unknown"
by Christopher Creutzig 01 Aug '04

01 Aug '04

Dear list, please find attached a small ConTeXt file using metapost and mp-format.mp. When compiled directly (with \write18 enabled), the minus sign of the first MPgraphic is rendered (by metapost) as "unknown". The very same code in the second example works. When compiling with texexec --automp, the problem does not exist. Versions: This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.14159-1.10b-2.1 (Web2C 7.4.5) ConTeXt ver: 2004.6.26 fmt: 2004.7.17 int: english mes: english This is MetaPost, Version 0.641 (… [View More]
