\setupURL issues
by Nikolai Weibull 19 Nov '04

19 Nov '04

\setupURL [color=blue] seems buggy. Try this: \setupcolors [state=start] \setupinteraction [state=start] \setupurl [color=blue] \useURL[one][http://www.google.com/] \starttext Why the hell is \from[one] wrapping so badly? \stoptext You will (hopefully...or something) notice that the http:// appears above and slightly to the left of www.google.com in the sentence. remove \setupurl[...] and it works fine, rendering it green. It also works fine if you remove the color=blue and add style=type instead or whatever. In noninteractive versions this works fine though and in documents without \setupcolors[state=start], 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);}

Bug in math accents
by Leif Albers 28 Oct '04

28 Oct '04

Two years ago I already posted about following bug. I am amazed it still occurs in the present (beta) version of ConTeXt. When I use math accents (like \tilde) on top of italic characters in subscripts, they appear displaced. A trivial example is -------------------- SNIPP -------------------- \starttext $ E_{\tilde s} $ \stoptext -------------------- SNIPP -------------------- Compare the output to the plain TeX output of "$ E_{\tilde s} $ \end", and you will see the difference - watch the position of the accent. I really like the design of ConTeXt. But as long as this bug occurs, ConTeXt is useless to me. Dear developers: *please* send me a reply of some sort. Writing bug reports is time consuming and should at least be rewarded with a single line response. Even a "RTFM - you idiot" is better than no reaction at all. Thanks, Leif Albers

PPCHTeX Bug?
by Henning Hraban Ramm 01 Oct '04

01 Oct '04

On TeX-D-L (german ML) was last week a dicussion about a PPCHTeX bug (at least with LaTeX), it seems that the file ppchtex.tex lost its tail (ca. 3kB). I told the user to ask at the PPCHTeX Mailing list, but he only got a message, that the list was moderated. Could someone care about this, please? I never used PPCHTeX...

Fonts in ConTeXt
by Werner Struckmann 01 Oct '04

01 Oct '04

We have installed quite a lot of fonts (mathtimepro, lucidabr, cm-super, ...). Currently we are using these fonts with LaTeX. All fonts are working correctly, i. e. we have the following files for each font afm/tfm/vf/pfb as well as map file for xdvi, dvips, dvipdfm and pdftex, Here is my question: How can we use all these fonts with ConTeXt? Is there an easy way to do so?

positioning layers again
by Eckhart Guthöhrlein 01 Oct '04

01 Oct '04

Hi all, I have managed to create my poster, arranging stuff on the page using layers. But I have to admit that I have used hard-coded coordinates for all layers. (I used a metapost grid in the background for measuring and aligning in the draft version.) If anybody is interested, I can make the poster and the source available online after the conference. I don't want to be nerving, but to make things easier in the future, I would like to repeat my question: How to position layers relative to each other, not relative to a common coordinate origin? (So that you don't have to move subsequent layers if some box changes its height etc.) I have experimented a bit with the stuff in the 'positional graphics' chapter of the metafun manual, but didn't make it. So, thanks for hints and suggestions. Regards, -- Eckhart

math-ams.tex: \triangleup?
by Christopher Creutzig 30 Sep '04

30 Sep '04

Dear Hans, math-ams.tex defines \triangledown, but for symmetry it should imhoalso define \triangleup: \definemathsymbol [triangleup] [ord] [ma] ["4D] The symbol is currently only defined as \vartriangle, but that is a relation. regards, Christopher Creutzig

Poster with layers
by Eckhart Guthöhrlein 27 Sep '04

27 Sep '04

Hi all, I have to prepare a scientific poster, and of cause using anything except TeX is below a real scientist's dignity. The main problem is that I have to arrange content rather freely on the page, without the regularity imposed by using tables or columns. Using layers for this purpose is probably best. I have started with something like: \definelayer[ModelingLayer] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=ModelingLayer] \setlayer[ModelingLayer][position=no,x=1cm,y=1cm]{% \framed{Whatever}} This seems to work well enough for my purposes. Or does anybody have a better idea? Then please let me know. My main at the moment is positioning. I would like to position one layer relative to another. Say for example, 'top left edge of layer x 2cm below and 3cm right of bottom center of layer y'. So, how can I access the necessary values, i.e. x, y, width, depth, height of a layer? Or is there an easier way to do this? Greetings, Eckhart
