installing tetex on ubuntu : basics log
by olivier Turlier 04 Dec '05

04 Dec '05

Hi everybody, Starting to try installing correctly tetex3 on ubuntu, I wanted to ask tons of questions. While formatting this mail, I've succeed in installing tetex3. Maybe what follows can be worth fore somebody more noooobie than me (is that possible?), or for a pre-beginner doc. Following http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TeTeX_3.0_installation and beginning of http://tug.org/teTeX/tetex-src/QuickInstall, i've : dwld * tetex-src.tar.gz & tetex-texmf.tar.gz sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-dist SHIT HAPPENS HERE : it's like i'm missing some basic commands, because if I type what next, term conplains : gzip -dc tetex-texmf.tar.gz \| (umask 0; cd /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-dist; tar xvf -) My guess is cd /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-dist sudo tar xvf /home/olivier/dl/tetex-texmf.tar.gz sudo tar xvf /home/olivier/dl/tetex-src.tar.gz cd tetex-src-3.0/ sudo bash (if not, term complains about configure.log) ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/teTeX >& configure.log make world >& world.log (quite long) exit (from root) cd ~ sudo vim .bash_profile add to it : PATH=/usr/local/teTeX/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu:$PATH;

by olivier Turlier 04 Dec '05

04 Dec '05

Hi everybody, I still have pbs for this (begin to be) hard to achieve task (compared of unziping mswincontext.zip on a :\C drive...) 1) I can't succed in adding executables to the path, with my various tryies, here is my .bash_profile : if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then source ~/.bashrc fi export PATH=/usr/local/teTeX/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games 2) emacs+ auctex nor scite (installed before : maybe a reinstall ?) are not context aware, so I can only texexec via the terminal 2) is texmfstart working on linux ? PS : when everything will be fine, (tetex3 install, same .pdf results between mswincontext and tetex3, scite linux integration (hard to change editor now), i'll add this to ubuntu wiki section TIA, olivier

ConTeXt logo
by Thomas A. Schmitz 04 Dec '05

04 Dec '05

All (and especially Hans...), where is \CONTEXT (the logo) defined? Looking at the output I get, I wonder if it doesn't need a bit of kerning between Con and the following T; there's quite a gap between these two letters (at least in the font I'm using). Thanks and all best Thomas

page numbering
by toto＠tots-ns.net 04 Dec '05

04 Dec '05

Hello list, How could I reset the page number counter? I can't find that information neither on the wiki nor in the manual. I would like to have a title page without a page number and that the page that follow has the number one. I can say to context not to print the page number on the page title but not reset that counter (and the page that follow begin with the number two...) Thanks alot for your help -AJ

FarsiTeX equivalent?
by John R. Culleton 03 Dec '05

03 Dec '05

A person on the internet needs help using FarsiTeX, a bidirectional typesetting engine for Farsi and English. It only runs on LaTeX 2.09. If the same task were approached in Context, what would he need to do beyond the regular Context stuff? Are there documents he should read? This is not a client, but just someone appealing for guidance. John Culleton

Some $\mframed{math}$ questions
by Mojca Miklavec 02 Dec '05

02 Dec '05

Hello, I would like to ask a couple of questions about frames and numbers in math formulas. 1. What's the best way to frame a formula like here: \placeformula \startformula \mframed{x^2+y^2=z^2} \stopformula The problem is that: - formula number is shifted downwards in comparison to the formula without a number - I don't know how to do the settings (frame color, frame offset) globally. There's no \setupmframed[...] command. It's probably possible to use a sort of \setupframed[whatever_setting_influencing_only_mframed], but I don't know how. 2. What's the general strategy when doing evel stuff with formula numbering? I would like to use \eqalign and then number formulas like on the following example: z^2=x^2+y^2 (1) =(x'-x_0)^2+(y'-y_0)^2 % no number =R^2\cos^2(\phi) (2) Can I somehow number the formulas (1), (2), (3.a), (3.b), (3.c), (4), (5.1), (5.2)? I would like to manually provide where to start and stop numbering with x.a or x.1, x.2. 3. How can I put more than one equation in a row and number all of them (as if they were placed in three columns)? 4. How can I move the formula number one row lower in case that the formula is too long and if it would overlap with the formula number otherwise? Thank you very much for any help, Mojca

I think one can define a \start(stop)subformula[format = ??] to put a \place(sub)formula automatically. But I do not know how to define such an environment properly. > 3.

One way to cheat can be to start a three column mode \starttext \startcolumns[n=3,tolerance=verytolerant] \placeformula \startformula E = mc^2 \stopformula \column \placeformula \startformula E = mc^2 \stopformula \column \placeformula \startformula E = mc^2 \stopformula \stopcolumns \stoptext Again, one could define a start-stop environment for this. > 4. How can I move the formula number one row lower in case that the > formula is too long and if it would overlap with the formula number > otherwise? Not sure what you mean here. Context (rather tex, I think) does this by default \starttext \placeformula \startformula a = bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb ddddddddddddddddddddddddddd ccccccccccc eeeeeeeeeeeeee fffffffffffffffff ggggggggggggggggggg \stopformula \stoptext HTH, Aditya

GNU Emacs/ AucTeX configuration for ConTeXt
by Renaud AUBIN 02 Dec '05

02 Dec '05

Hi all, Is there someone using GNU Emacs with ConTeXt. After some googlelyzing, I've learnt : 1. ConTeXt mode from Berend de Boer is now included in AucTeX 2. Some people use Emacs with ConTeXt and METAPOST, but with special .el files that seems not really up-to-date I didn't found usefull information to configure properly AucTeX in order to work well with ConTeXt and METAPOST, even in the auctex mailing list. It's ok for the menu (apparently managed by site) but I don't have syntax highlighting except for comment and indenting doesn't work well. So, my questions are: 1. Since there is a ConTeXt mode, I suppose there is some advanced features like syntax highlighting and indentation rules. Am I right ? 2. If I'm right, how to configure it ? 3. I will use METAPOST in my .tex files, how to manage this within Emacs ? 4. You know advanded features I must know ? ;-) I'm sorry but I'm addicted to Emacs and don't want to use Scite even if it seems ConTeXt-friendly. I'm aware of the fact that this mail is more Emacs/AucTeX related but since I didn't succeed in finding answers yet I submit this issue to the ConTeXt community. Best regards,
