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.

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?

Fleurons
by Keith McKay 23 Jul '06

23 Jul '06

Dear All I am in the process of learning the wonders of Context and enjoying the challenge. My Context is the stand alone version for Windows which I downloaded from the Pragma site. I'm getting used to using the Scite editor although it was a little difficult in the beginning. Just now I'm putting together some short stories and am having fun playing about with layout and using different kinds of fonts. Also I'm reading 'The Elements of Typographic Style' by Robert Bringhurst which is absolutely superb! I would never have thought that a book on typography would be so easy to read. In Bringhurst's book he mentions fleurons - "A horticultural dingbat" which I would like to access. I have looked through the Context manuals but with no success. Could someone give me some hints?

Font size in FLOWchart module.
by John R. Culleton 01 Jun '06

01 Jun '06

I am using the flowchart module to create various goodies. What I don't know how to do is regulate the size of the font for the text that goes inside the little boxes.

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/

trouble with typescripts
by Thomas A. Schmitz 18 Dec '05

18 Dec '05

Hi all, I have a specific problem with a typescriptfile that may be of general interest (the problem, not the typescript). I have collected a number of font definitions into one file and have observed that certain fonts cannot coexist. One small example: \starttypescript[greekcanonica] % font definitions \stoptypescript \starttypescript[GreekCanonica] \definetypeface[MyGreekCanonica] \stoptypescript and \starttypescript[greekcardo] % font definitions \stoptypescript \starttypescript \definetypeface[MyGreekCardo] \stoptypescript cannot be defined in the same typescriptfile. If I comment A out, B will work; it A is uncommented, ConTeXt will complain about missing font definitions for B. So I would suspect that in processing typescripts, names are somehow truncated to 9 or less characters. So these questions arise: 1. Can this be changed? (We had a similar behavior with names of modules, which was changed a while ago, I think.) 2. Is there a workaround? Is it possible to add other parameters to the \definetypeface[] line? Best Thomas

new feature / manual
by Hans Hagen 17 Nov '05

17 Nov '05

Hi, There is a new feature + manual, for those who love obscure mechanisms. http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/xmanipulate.pdf Even if you dislike manipulations ... the manual mixes iwona and the new condensed latin modern monospace font. The preprocess feature is only supported by newtexexec. If you want to automatically run newtexexec instead of texexec, you need to set the environment variable TEXMFSTART_MODE to 'experimental' assuming that you use texmfstart as stub; for those who are not familiar with that: windows: texexec.bat @echo off texmfstart texexec.pl %* unix: texexec (shell script) #!/bin/sh texmfstart texexec.pl $@ (using texmfstart is a guarantee against changes in the policies of distributions with regards to scripts) Anyhow, the new feature concerns - preprocessing of files (e.g. recode for tex files or xslt-ing for xml files) - graphic manipulations (downsampling and beyond) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

Bug in footnote mechanism when compiling per chapter?
by Gerben Wierda 11 Nov '05

11 Nov '05

I had in my project file \definenote[endnote][location=none] \setupfootnotes[conversion=set 2,way=bypage] which I moved to my environment file. But wherever I have it, when I compile per chapter, the footnote mechanism fails because it runs out of symbols to use. When I compile the entire book. no such problem occurs. Is this a ConTeXt bug?

Hello, thera were some problems concerning accented characters in math (mathml) a while ago (as far as I remember they were solved). But some tiny bugs apparently remained there. Minimal example: $\cases{&\ccaron}$ Mojca
