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. This is a small ap-p li-ca-tion which loads file \hbox(7.63889+2.13889)x398.33858 .\*11ptmmmr* f .\*11ptmmmr* o .\*11ptmmmr* r .\glue(\spaceskip) 3.66628 .\*11ptmmmr* t .etc. Overfull \hbox (8.38132pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 3--13 \*11ptmmmr* with point and line da-ta and dis-plays it in a win-dow.

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. Grüßlis vom Hraban! -- www.fiee.net/texnique/ www.ramm.ch/context/

listings.sty
by Peter Münster 12 Jul '08

12 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? Greetings, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/ _____________________________________ FilmSearch engine: http://f-s.sf.net/

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?

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/

Chinese in ConTeXt
by Xiao Jianfeng 23 Aug '05

23 Aug '05

I started to use ConTeXt several weeks ago, and I like it very much :-) I met some problems when I tried to use Chinese in ConTeXt. I have tried to setup Chinese fonts according to the manual "Chinese in ConTeXt" (mchinese.pdf) which seems a little out-of-date. In the manual, programs gbpfb/chpfb, and gbenc are used to perpare the Chinese fonts. But, I chpfb is not shipped with trubolinux anymore . I have googled and couldn't find these programs on the internet. Do someone have some experience of how to setup Chinese in ConTeXt? Thanks in advance! Best wishes. Xiaojf

Dense Encoding - Comments wanted
by Adam Lindsay 21 Aug '05

21 Aug '05

Hi all, On Hans's suggestion, I've been working on a "dense" character encoding that does away with combining accents and extraneous symbol-like characters in favor of fully accented characters. <http://homepage.mac.com/atl/tex/dense.pdf> This encoding is sort of based on the EC encoding, but adds (to the best of my knowledge) support for Romanian, Maltese, Welsh, Lithuanian, and Latvian. The punctuation that I kept was "typographic" in nature, that would fall within a normal text flow, especially those affected by ligatures and/or kerns. The typographic symbols were left out, including monetary symbols. I reckon these could be called as symbols from another encoding. The general intent here is to have strong support for (latin script) modern European languages, in the context of Unicode input. I concentrate on letters, in order to give as good kerning as possible with a 256 character subset. The letters are fully composed, to help hyphenation within TeX. Note that the encoding can't handle general transliteration or other "academic" uses. So with those goals in mind, does anyone notice their favorite *letter* missing? Is there essential punctuation missing? -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

enumerated lists
by Frank Grieshaber 04 Aug '05

04 Aug '05

Dear all, I have a manuscript with long nested numbered enumerations and I want the numbers of all levels to be printed like: 1. one 1.1 one-one 1.2 one-two 2. two 2.1 two-one 2.2.1 two-two-one ... Using the following prints only the current level's number, not all levels: \startitemize[n,packed] \item \item \startitemize[m,packed] \item \item \stopitemize \item \item \stopitemize For Latex there is the package paralist.sty for doing the desired numbering, how can this be done with ConTeXt?

presentations in ConTeXt
by Thomas A. Schmitz 20 Jul '05

20 Jul '05

I've decided to bite the bullet and do my presentations in ConTeXt this term. So far, I'm quite satisfied. I've done only very basic stuff so far (if you're interested, you can have a look at http:// www.uni-bonn.de/www/Philologie/Personal/Schmitz/Dateien.html ), but I like the result. The background is just a pdf-image that I created with metapost and reused as a page background (I found this was faster and easier than recalculating it every time...) Things I would like to know: I like the idea of having the small bar showing at which place in the presentations we are (such as in pre-colorful). I'd like it very minimal, though: maybe just grey squares, with the current position being white or yellow. I have a hunch that this could be achieved with \setupinteractionbar, but this command is a bit underdocumented. Hints, anybody? I am still at a loss how to achieve one thing in ConTeXt that was pretty easy in Keynote or (shudder) Powerpoint: When I wanted to highlight something on a map or a picture, I would just draw a red circle around it. What would be the proper way to do this in ConTeXt? Adding a layer with a red circle drawn in Metapost, then positioning it by trial and error? Or can anyone point to a better solution? And lastly: I have never seen transitions working on OS X (both Apple's Preview and Adobe Reader 7.0). Can anybody confirm that they got this working on other systems? Sorry for the long post. I'm hoping for some enlightenment. Best Thomas
