/*Hi, Am using the \startstandardmakeup ... \stopstandardmakeup and i get my text centered vertically. Is that the normal way context works in ? This is how i proceed: \starttext \startstandardmakeup .. \stopstandardmakeup \stoptext Thanks. Dirar. P.S. Is there anyway to answer the messages on this archive without replying to the corresponding received mail? I would like to update a previous post but can't manage to do it.*/

>===== Original Message From <ntg-context(a)ntg.nl> ===== <snip> \donothing \dodoappendtoks > >l.188 \to \everyresetspecials 2 possibilities a. Your ConTeXt format is not consistent. Delete your ConTeXt install (ok this might not be necessary), make sure you don't have two Contexts (e.g. one in texmf and another in texmf-var), reinstall the latest ConTeXt, refresh the fndb BEFORE you generate the formats, regenerate the formats, and it should work. b. Also, are you sure that you are running aleph in extended mode? Giuseppe, is extended mode the default for aleph or does it have to be explicitly invoked? If Aleph is running in extended mode, and if every ConTeXt file is in the fndb, then it really should work... Idris

As I am still looking for arbitrary footnote placement, do you can tell where this wonderful information is available? Thank you, Steffen

Then I immediately deleted the files in texmf/tex/context/base/ and texmf/metapost/context/base/ . Now I also deleted the texmf/.../texexec.ini file and reinstalled context again (texmf-local tree) Hashed the ls-r, rebuild the formats and tried it again. Still the same error logs. Maybe there are still some leftovers from TeXLives ConTeXt interfering? What is the right way to "get rid of it (minus texexec.exe)"? When I install ConTeXt in a local tree do I have to delete more ConTeXt files in the main tree? Thank you, Steffen

\dh in ConTeXt
by Charles Doherty 17 Sep '04

17 Sep '04

Dear all, Using the following input in LaTeX I could get the output below. But try as I might I cannot achieve this in ConTeXt. \documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article} \usepackage{palatino} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[applemac]{inputenc} My input for ConTeXt is: \enableregime[mac] \usetypescriptfile [adobekb] \setupencoding [default=ec] \usetypescript [adobekb] [\defaultencoding] \usetypescript[palatino][\defaultencoding] \starttext Howth {\em H\k{o}f\dh i} / {\em H\k{o}f\dh a}, ... Output from the console says that \dh is an undefined control sequence. This and similar commands are mentioned in Kopka and Daly: A guide to LaTeX2e p. 423. In LaTeX using \dh \DH \th \TH I get the result below. But the \ng \NG produce the black rule. I would be happy if just the \dh worked. I note that the encoding in LaTeX is T1. In Hans's Fonts in ConTeXt p. 17 this seems to be the equivalent to 8r. I tried this but with no success. I would be most grateful if anyone can help. I use a Mac OSX 1.3.5. My TeX installation is throught Gerben's installer.

Float question
by Ulrich Dirr 17 Sep '04

17 Sep '04

Hi, I've defined a new float with \setupfloats[background=screen,spacebefore=none,spaceafter=none,indentnext= no] \definefloat [diagram] [diagrams] In general they are nicely placed, and grid typesetting is maintained. Sometimes 'indentnext=no' doesn't work. Why? When typesetting with columnsets \chapter{Versuch über die Krankheiten des Kopfes} \startcolumnset[two] <float> [...] the space above isn't removed but it works when the float is moved to a new page when there's not enough room left. Do I have to manually put a negative space here? (I suspect that even the spacebefore and spaceafter didn't work) CHAPTER TITLE xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx +-----------------+ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx +-----------------+ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Is it possible to to place a 'note' at the point where the float should be placed but is moved to the next column or page? page 1 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx see diagram n on page 2 ((or 'see next diagram' in xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx case of column break)) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx page 2 <diagram n> xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [...] Best regards, Ulrich

incompatibility metafun / metaobj
by Eckhart Guthöhrlein 17 Sep '04

17 Sep '04

Hi all, there seems to be an incompatibility between metafun's anglebetween macro and the metaobj package. Sample input: \startMPinclusions input metaobj; \stopMPinclusions \startreusableMPgraphic{ff} draw anglebetween(origin--(0,100),origin--(100,0),(btex $\vartheta$ etex)); \stopreusableMPgraphic \starttext \reuseMPgraphic{ff} \stoptext This results into: error in metapost run : fftest-mpgraph.mp:124 Running 'mpost fftest-mpgraph' manually shows the following error: ! Missing argument to arctime. <to be read again> (19.92523) on->(arctime.if(EXPR0)>0:(EXPR0) else:(arclength((EXPR1))+(EXPR0))fi.of(EXPR1... <to be read again> ; anglebetween->...nta:=point.anglelength.on(EXPR2); pointb:=point.anglelength.... l.121 )) ; ? I have tried to locate the problem more precisely, but my metapost skills are not sufficient, so I have to ask for help here. Regards, Eckhart

Hi Samuel, Thanks for close reading. I corrected the things you mentioned but have a few questions left: (i cc to the context list) % Quantifiers: I think having the quantified identifier in subscript % is a very German notation. % It changes on page 109, with a non-subscript x, but there still % is a vertical bar where I would simply put a comma. can you explain this a bit more, do we need an alternative representation? (mathml completely ignores cultural aspects -) % p. 35 % If prsubset means propersubset, then it looks like % subset and notsubset have been exchanged respectively % with prsubset and notprsubset. I now have: \def\MMLcSUBSET #1#2{\MMLcset\subset} \def\MMLcPRSUBSET #1#2{\MMLcset\subseteq} \def\MMLcNOTSUBSET #1#2{\MMLcset{\not\subset}} \def\MMLcNOTPRSUBSET #1#2{\MMLcset{\not\subseteq}} do you mean that i should swap these? % p. 38 % The symbol for outer product more looks like a tensor product. the mathml standard has no real examples and leaves much to guess, so what do you expect to see (example) % p. 56 % A cardinality is visualized using vertical bars. % [But what exactly is meant with cardinality?] % Are you serious when asking this question? in the formal visualized math way, indeed; i wonder what the result should look like, since the spec is fuzzy % p. 137 sqq. % Most symbols appear as a box with a question mark here. that's because taco still has to finish his unicode math fonts ...
