by Taco Hoekwater 14 Nov '05

14 Nov '05

Hello all, I am pleased to announce that the new ConTeXt release from Hans Hagen can be downloaded as of now from the Pragma ADE website or one of its mirrors. http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-tmf.zip http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-tmf.zip http://mirror.contextgarden.net/context/current/cont-tmf.zip If you have not updated your Latin Modern fonts in the past month, then you will need to fetch the latest redistribution of the LM fonts as well: http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-lmt.zip http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-lmt.zip http://mirror.contextgarden.net/context/current/cont-lmt.zip New features compared to the 2005.11.11 version: * New key: align= now allows the keys from \setupalign, e.g.: \framed[align={normal,stretch,verytolerant}]{...} * The macro \uncompresslist is now in the core (from wiki) * US English hyphenation files are added to the distribution Bugs fixed since the 2005.11.11 * Use newer names for the CM/LM font reencoding files * A bug in conversion sets that became apparent when footnotes where numbered by page * Doubling the use of \setupindenting will no longer enable the indentation. FYI.: The correct way to enable indentation of paragraphs is: \setupindenting[medium,yes] The current release has version 2005.11.14. As usual, there is a page with more detailed release notes available on the Wiki, see: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Context_2005.11.14 Happy TeXing, Taco Hoekwater

alignment in cells without "alignmentcharacter"
by Mojca Miklavec 14 Nov '05

14 Nov '05

Hello, (A question for a coffee break for Hans or Taco while updating macros for tables, although it may already be implemented somewhere.) I have a table with one column for room names with an optional slash (see below). The case is equivalent to aligning floating-point & natural numbers (without comma) in the same column. I aligned the entries with alignmentcharacter=/, which works perfect except in the cases where there's no slash present (the real example did an even worse, extremely strange alignment, where those numbers were sticking out of the cells, but I'll investigate that a bit & post an example another time). % plain text aligned in the same way as I would like it to have in the result \setupTABLE[c][1][aligncharacter=yes,alignmentcharacter=/,width=3cm,align=middle] \bTABLE \bTR\bTD 01/1 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD 02/13 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD 03 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD 314/2 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD 315 \eTD\eTR \eTABLE Is there an elegant way which would align those numbers as if they had an additional slash on the right? I was thinking about placing a transparent slash behind those number, but there may be a a cleaner & more elegant solution for it. If not, it could be done approximately in the spirit of alignifnoalignmentcharacterpresent= absoluteflushleft / % according to the cell absoluteflushright / % according to the cell middle / relativeflushleft / % according to the aligned content % since remaining numbers may be aligned to the right or to the middle, % this would align just as left as the leftmost number with alignment character relativeflushright / leftofthealignmentcharacter / % I only need this one rightofthealignmentcharacter . Alternatively I could define something completely invisible like \alignmehere and then use: \setupTABLE[c][1] [aligncharacter=yes, alignmentcharacter={\alignmehere}, width=3cm,align=middle] \bTABLE \bTR\bTD 01\alignmehere/1 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD 02\alignmehere/13 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD 03\alignmehere \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD 314\alignmehere/2 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD 315\alignmehere \eTD\eTR \eTABLE but I don't know what the definition of "\alignmehere" could be so that it would work OK. (Useful for complex alignments; for aligning nubers the first solution would be cleaner and better.) Thanks for any suggestions, Mojca

Not resetting chapter number on new part
by Giuseppe Bilotta 14 Nov '05

14 Nov '05

I would like the chapters across all my bodymatter to be numbered sequentially, even when they cross the part boundary. I.e, if I have \part{A part} \chapter{A chapter} \part{Another part} \chapter{Another chapter} I would like the latter to be numbered 2, not 1. I can of course do this by hacking \part, but I would like to know if there is a way to prevent number reset (something like resetchapter=no). -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

Re: [NTG-context] Index
by Duncan Hothersall 14 Nov '05

14 Nov '05

Hans, many thanks for the recent fixes on index sorting in the new ruby scripts. Can I offer another test file in which some errors still show up, in the hope that these too can be ironed out? The following shows two problems, culled from a much bigger project. It should be clear from the output what the problems are, but basically 1. there are three separate spans (\startregister...\stopregister pairs) with the same term content ("these three separate spans coalesce") which get coalesced into one strange a-b-c-d span, despite having been given different sort keys (I added numbers to the end of the sort keys to differentiate them). 2. there are three refs and a span all with the same term content ("these mixed refs and spans are in the wrong order"), and they get sorted into the wrong order in the output (the span comes before the refs, despite coming after in page order). So in my output, my index page at the back has the following content: these mixed refs and spans are in the wrong order 1/12–1/13, 1/2, 1/10, 1/14 these three separate spans coalesce 1/1–1/2–1/5–1/7 whereas what I'd hope to see is: these mixed refs and spans are in the wrong order 1/2, 1/10, 1/12–1/13, 1/14 these three separate spans coalesce 1/1–1/2, 1/3–1/5, 1/6–1/7 Really hope you can hammer out these two bugs, it would really help me!

TeXexec and MikTeX
by Leon Di Stefano 14 Nov '05

14 Nov '05

Greetings I have been trying to set up ConTeXt in Windows XP using MikTeX. I have been running LaTeX2e through TeXnic center fine. On the basis of the TeXexec manual, I ran "texexec --make en" I attempted to build a small file test.tex by running "texexec --pdf test" from the directory in which the file is located. It said that the default format file could not be found. I tried increasing the 'pattern memory ops' in the miktex.ini config file as you suggested to another TeXer; nothing happened. The following message occurs in the log: ... (C:\MiKTeX\tex\context\base\symb-mis.tex) symbols : loading symbolset mvs (C:\MiKTeX\tex\context\base\symb-mvs.tex) symbols : loading symbolset glm (C:\MiKTeX\tex\context\base\symb-glm.tex !

missing enc file
by Hans Hagen 13 Nov '05

13 Nov '05

Hi, Karl Berry and I just found out that on the coming tex live the cm*.enc files are missing (but lm-rep-cm* files are present); this can result in missing characters in math mode. Since it's too late to fix that ... I'll upload a release that has a map file referering to the lm-rep files (replicated files) so i assume that one has a recent lm installation; i have no idea to what extent those missing enc files will influence user's systems. I can add them to the context zip if needed. [cm mapping is needed for (1) math fonts and (2) including files that already have cm files; the context distribution has a file original-public-lm.map that -i hope- does an efficient inclusion -- has to do with pdftex being able to determins shared fonts] In any case, keep an eye on it when you install the coming tex live and miss chars. Hans
