Patrick, How can you get the \ShowLayout command with your t-layout module to reveal the measurements in mm instead of pt? David

All, I have book.tex. %output=pdftex \startproject book \environment bookenv \product chapter1 \stopproject %%% Local Variables: %%% mode: conTeXt-en %%% End: I have bookenv.tex. \startenvironment bookenv \setupwhitespace[medium] \setupindenting[medium] \stopenvironment %%% Local Variables: %%% mode: conTeXt-en %%% End: I have chapter1.tex: \startproduct chapter1 \project book \startbodymatter \chapter{Quadratic Functions} \component section1 \component section2 \component section3 \stopbodymatter \stopproduct %%% Local Variables: %%% mode: conTeXt-en %%% TeX-master: t %%% End: I have section1.tex: \startcomponent section1 \project book \product chapter1 \section{Trinomials} \input knuth \stopcomponent %%% Local Variables: %%% mode: conTeXt-en %%% End: I have section 2.tex: \startcomponent section2 \project book \product chapter1 \section{Special Forms} \input knuth \stopcomponent %%% Local Variables: %%% mode: conTeXt-en %%% End: I have section3.tex: \startcomponent section3 \project book \product chapter1 \section{Completing the Square} \input knuth \stopcomponent %%% Local Variables: %%% mode: conTeXt-en %%% End: A couple of questions: 1. When I compile: texexec book I do not get "medium" indenting. What am I doing wrong? 2. When I compile: texexec --pdf section2 I don't get indenting "medium" and the section is numbered 1. I was expecting 1.2. Am I missing something here? I was hoping that if you compiled a component like this that it would search the project structure and determine an appropriate adjustment in number labels and, hopefully, references. David

I have put the two files in context/base, and use \usemodule. In the log, the system inform that the two modules are loaded. But I have the same error, "No room for a new \dimen". So this is not working. Unless you have others ideas, I guess I have to do my figures in plain tex to obtain pdf, and then use the pdf in Context. Of course, a better solution is to learn metafun....!! Thanks for your help. Fabrice L.

Two framed texts on the same line
by Giuseppe Bilotta 25 Nov '05

25 Nov '05

Hello, I would like to achieve this kind of typographical effect: two text blocks, one of them aligned to the left margin, the other with left-aligned text but with the right margin at the right margin of the page. I can obtain each of them with for example the following: \defineframedtext[lepi][align=raggedright,width=fit,offset=0pt,frame=off,location=left] \defineframedtext[repi][align=raggedright,width=fit,offset=0pt,frame=off,location=right] Now, I want them to be "at the same height". However, using things like placesidebyside or even just \startlepi ... \stoplepi \startrepi ... \stoprepi doesn't work. Any suggestions? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

*EXPERIMENTAL* TeX i-Package release
by Gerben Wierda 25 Nov '05

25 Nov '05

This release contains a small surprise, mainly created by Thomas A. Schmitz. When you install it, you can use (automatically unpacked) Apple fonts Hoefler Text, Didot, Optima, Baskerville en Gill Sans in PDFTeX. Setups for LaTeX and ConTeXt are provided. For this to work you need to have fondu installed. When fondu is installed, the fonts are automatically unpacked into the gwTeX tree during configuration (currently after install only). See the Readme of the TeX i-Package for some details. G

unicode fontdefinition
by sjoerd siebinga 25 Nov '05

25 Nov '05

Hi all, I am currently typesetting a collection of articles that use a great number of unicodeglyphs from 19 vectors. All the regular glyphs turn up fine, but I am unable to get the bold and italic versions of the glyphs. I have made encoding files for all the vectors using the xsl- scripts from Adam Lindsay and installed them via texfont. The sourcefile is an xml-file with decimal-unicode-entities that are mapped to the \uchar command by the \defineXMLentity command. I have defined the unicode fontsynonyms as follows: <code> \loadmapfile[palatinolinostar_01xx-starling-linostar] \definefontsynonym [UnicodeRegular01] [palatinolinostar_01xx- PalatinoLinoStar] [encoding=palatinolinostar_01xx] \definefontsynonym [UnicodeBold01] [palatinolinostar_01xx- PalatinoLinoStarBold] [encoding=palatinolinostar_01xx] \definefontsynonym [UnicodeItalic01] [palatinolinostar_01xx- PalatinoLinoStarItalic] [encoding=palatinolinostar_01xx] </code> My bodyfontdefinition is as follows: <code> \starttypescript [map] [linostar] [texnansi,palatinolinostar_01xx] \loadmapfile [\typescripttwo-starling-linostar.map] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [linostar] [texnansi,palatinolinostar_01xx] \definefontsynonym [linostar] [\typescriptthree- PalatinoLinoStar] [encoding=\typescriptthree] \definefontsynonym [linostar-Italic] [\typescriptthree- PalatinoLinoStarItalic] [encoding=\typescriptthree] \definefontsynonym [linostar-Bold] [\typescriptthree- PalatinoLinoStarBold] [encoding=\typescriptthree] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [linostar] [name] \setups [font:fallback:serif] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [linostar] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [linostar-Italic] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [linostar-Bold] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [my] [starling-linostar] [texnansi,palatinolinostar_01xx] \definetypeface [starling-linostar] [rm] [serif] [linostar] [default] [encoding=\typescriptthree] \stoptypescript \usetypescript [my] [starling-linostar] \setupbodyfont[starling-linostar,rm,10pt] </code> Could somebody tell me what I am doing wrong? Kind regards, Sjoerd

How is it possible to include DraTex code in Context ?
by Fabrice Larribe 25 Nov '05

25 Nov '05

Hi, I'm presently doing my first steps with Context, which seems absolutly wonderfull... so thanks to the developper(s). In the past, I was using plain tex with a macro package called DraTex to draw all sorts of things; so I have a "library" of figures which I would like to resuse in Context. I have seen no specific reference in the Context manual(s) about the compatibility of Context with others plain tex packages. When I do: "\input DraTex.sty \input AlDraTex.sty" I have the message "No room for a new \dimen"... If I load only the first package (DraTex), this works, but for advances things, I need AlDraTex. So the question: how is it possible to include DraTex code in Context ? Thanks for any help. Fabrice L. Ps: I know metafun exists !

bibmodule question
by Thomas A. Schmitz 25 Nov '05

25 Nov '05

I'm trying to have the edition of a book typeset as a superscript, small number. In my setuppublicationlayout[book], I tried this: \insertedition{ \high\bgroup\tfxx}{\egroup}{ }% which seemed like a good idea when I wrote it, but it isn't working; I get the number in tiny font size, but it isn't raised. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thomas
