Hi Mojca, >You can use \enableregime[utf] and write your documents in unicode with >all the accents instead. I sometimes used the spellchecker inside >WinEDT, but I'm no expert in that field.

WinEdT support
by Idris Samawi Hamid 17 Jan '05

17 Jan '05

Hi syndicate, Having tried many if not most TeX-friendly editors, nothing beats WinEdT for practical use IMO. I was thinking about working on a ConTeXt module (basically reimplementing the main LaTeX functionality) but I noticed this today http://www.pragma-ade.com/download-5.htm Unfortunately there is no link to further information. Is someone really working on this already, and is it (when will it be) available? Best Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

The file was made by special texfont provided by Adam Lindsay in his package "OpenType in ConTeXt". But also all files of Henning Hraban Ramm have also the blank and other to. Must I change this all by hand now? Thanks a lot again, Matthias

next version
by Hans Hagen 17 Jan '05

17 Jan '05

Hi, The next release will -apart from bug fixes and a few new things as well as the bib module- also miss a few things: the interface setup files, we now definitely move to the xml variants; as a result, texshow has been swapped for taco's texshow which handles the xml files directly; this is all part of a cleanup. The alpha relese already has these changes. Expect also cleanup in the font area: - csr/plr/aer/vnr will be dropped in favor of lmr (also makes minimals smaller) - i consider run time map entries instead of file based ones - some unused macros will be removed btw, there is a new 'manual': tiptrick.pdf; will be extended over time Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Re: [metapost] shading in meta[post/play] & PDF

Actually, I think it may be because of the high magnification I used in order to get the glyphs to be a reasonable size when viewed using a browser. It would probably work better to make the characters bigger in the first place. It might also be because browsers display graphics with low resolution. I don't know much about browsers, though, so this is just a hypothesis. I'll see if I can improve this when I revise the font. Laurence Finston http://www.gnu.org/software/3dldf/LDF.html

Hi gang, Have any of you guys a script or something to convert simple html to ConTeXt? There are apparently a couple of html2latex converters out there but is there anything for ConTeXt?

I have found the following somewhere in the documentation. \button{...}[the chapter on whatever] \button{...}[otherdoc::some topic] \button{...}[previouspage] \button{...}[PreviousJump] I have tried them : all run very well except \button{...}[otherdoc::some topic] How can I replace some topic to indicate a chapter in otherdoc or a page ? Thank you.

by Taco Hoekwater 14 Jan '05

Hi all, Hans has issued a new release of ConTeXt yesterday (2005.01.13). Highlights: * The distribution now contains Taco's bib module and related files * The TeXShow program now uses the XML versions of the interface definition files, the .tws variants have been removed * Math font definitions (esp. lucida/euler) are completed and improved, resulting in more robust mixed math usage More details on the Wiki, http://contextgarden.net/Release_Notes Greetings, Taco
