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. This is a small ap-p li-ca-tion which loads file \hbox(7.63889+2.13889)x398.33858 .\*11ptmmmr* f .\*11ptmmmr* o .\*11ptmmmr* r .\glue(\spaceskip) 3.66628 .\*11ptmmmr* t .etc. Overfull \hbox (8.38132pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 3--13 \*11ptmmmr* with point and line da-ta and dis-plays it in a win-dow.

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? Greetings, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/ _____________________________________ FilmSearch engine: http://f-s.sf.net/

2 m-bib questions
by Peter Münster 30 Dec '05

30 Dec '05

Hello, here my m-bib questions: * The lost space after \cite[...], is it a bug or a feature? * I'm going to add some multi-lingual support to m-bib. My idea is, to replace in cont-XX.bst and bibl-XXX.tex "page" by "\pagename", "and" by "\andname" and so on. Is this method ok? If not, how should I do it (not too complicated please ;) ? Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/ _____________________________________ FilmSearch engine: http://f-s.sf.net/

Metapost animation
by Michal Kvasnicka 19 May '05

19 May '05

Good evening. First of all I want to thank to Mr. Hagen for his last answer. I will check your last code of balanced columnsets at home (with the newest ConTeXt). As for your correcting code for ordinary collumns, I have tried it with three different types of my documents, and it worked well. Maybe this is the final solution of the problem. I will try it with more documents and let you know, anyway. Now to my next question. I have seen a great thing: Metapost pictures were animated (probably with the JavaScript code). You can found some examples here: http://www.math.muni.cz/~plch/nkpm/nradanm6.pdf http://www.math.muni.cz/~plch/nkpm/nradanm8.pdf (Just click on the `Spustit animaci' button.) Is it possible to do it simply in the ConTeXt? Of course I may break down the mechanism of widgets and write my own JavaScript (I don't know how to do timing), but isn't there some special macro for animating series of figures? It would be great. If so, is Acrobat Reader fast enough to simulate this way the nice feature of MS PowerPoint---curves and shapes that are drawn by pieces, or that appear somewhere and then go to its final location? (This is quite instructive in economics, because you can easily notice which curve is drawn first, what second, and so on.) How can I do it? With many greetings and thanks Michal Kvasnicka

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

some bib module questions
by Fei He 13 Mar '05

13 Mar '05

Folks, I am new beginner and have some rookie questions about using the bib module. 1. \setupcite[number][left=[, right=]] did not work. the citation still shows up in the text like (author, year) 2. either \completepublications or \placepublications wont show the publication list at the end of the paper without using \setup[pubs][criterium=all]. 3. \setuppublications[numbering=yes] fails to put a number before the publication list at the end of the paper. I got the most updated m-bib.zip from http://texaanhet.net/bib/ and copied those file to my local hard drive at ...\texmf\tex\context\m-bib\. Also I just updated my context to the new released version. By the way, I use pc and WinEdt. I probably made several mistakes. please help. thanks a lot. best, fei

style.pdf

In updating my context documentation today, I managed to overwrite my copy of ".../general/manuals/style.pdf", which I was studying. Is this document still available, perhaps renamed - it don't find it in the list of files in http://www.pragma-ade.nl/wget.txt. Thank-you --
