Hi Hans Could you send me/post a copy of the modified macro/file (I'm at a mission-critical stage on a project and don't want to install a new beta before it's done unless absolutely necessary->) Also, is there a similar \dontcomplain fix for \start-\stopalignment[left] (underfull hbox)?

INstalling a new version of context
by olibou＠free.fr 09 May '05

09 May '05

Hello ! I tried to install a new version of context, since somebody suggest to do it (BTW I do not know how know what version of context I have ... running texexec --version gives me the version of texexec, I presume, not the version of context ... but anyway ... that not my sole problem, as for now). So I used to have a version of context install by default :-) on my mandrake 10.1 distribution of linux ... To upgrade I have downloaded http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-tmf.zip and read also part of http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/minstall.pdf It says that I have to unzip cont-tmf.zip in /usr/share/texmf ... which I have done ... And then they say we have to regenerate format .... but I'm not that expert to understand what it means ... What I have done is fmtutil --all But my context distrib does not work anymore ... ;-( Could anybody help me ? I have relink ln -s /usr/share/texmf/context/perltk/texexec.pl /usr/bin/texexec since /usr/bin/texexec was the location where my shell use to find texec ... But I'm probably messing everything doing that. Anyway, I have NOT "regenerate the format" and try to use texexec .. but on a simple "hello world" example stored in hw.tex file : \starttext Hello World ! \stoptext it gives me this output ;-( oli@olinux:~/E/Context # texexec --verbose hw.tex TeXExec 3.1 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2002 current path : /home/oli/E/Context locating ini file : found by kpsewhich reading : /usr/share/texmf/context/config/texexec.ini setting : 'TeXShell' to 'tetex' for 'all' setting : 'UsedInterfaces' to 'en nl metafun mptopdf' for 'all' setting : 'UserInterface' to 'en' for 'all' setting : 'TeXExecutable' to 'tex' for 'all' setting : 'MpExecutable' to 'mpost' for 'all' setting : 'MpToTeXExecutable' to 'mpto' for 'all' setting : 'DviToMpExecutable' to 'dvitomp' for 'all' setting : 'DviSpecialScript' to 'dvispec' for 'all' setting : 'MpFormat' to 'metafun' for 'all' setting : 'TeXFormatFlag' to '&' for 'all' setting : 'MpFormatFlag' to '&' for 'all' setting : 'TeXFontsPath' to 'l:/tex/texmf;l:/tex/texmf-local;' for 'all' setting : 'TeXExecutable' to 'pdfetex' for 'tetex' setting : 'TeXVirginFlag' to '-ini' for 'tetex' setting : 'TeXPassString' to '-progname=context' for 'tetex' setting : 'TeXBatchFlag' to '-int=batchmode' for 'tetex' setting : 'MpToTeXExecutable' to 'mpto' for 'tetex' setting : 'MpVirginFlag' to '-ini' for 'tetex' setting : 'MpPassString' to '-progname=mpost' for 'tetex' setting : 'MpBatchFlag' to '-int=batchmode' for 'tetex' used setting : TeXShell = tetex used setting : SetupPath = used setting : UserInterface = en used setting : UsedInterfaces = en nl metafun mptopdf used setting : TeXFontsPath = l:/tex/texmf;l:/tex/texmf-local; used setting : MpExecutable = mpost used setting : MpToTeXExecutable = mpto used setting : DviToMpExecutable = dvitomp used setting : TeXProgramPath = used setting : TeXFormatPath = used setting : ConTeXtPath = used setting : TeXScriptsPath = used setting : TeXExecutable = pdfetex used setting : TeXVirginFlag = -ini used setting : TeXBatchFlag = -int=batchmode used setting : MpBatchFlag = -int=batchmode used setting : TeXPassString = -progname=context used setting : TeXFormatFlag = & used setting : MpFormatFlag = & used setting : MpVirginFlag = -ini used setting : MpPassString = -progname=mpost used setting : MpFormat = metafun used setting : MpFormatPath = used setting : FmtLanguage = used setting : FmtBodyFont = used setting : FmtResponse = used setting : TcXPath = used setting : SetFile = applications will use : /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf locating fmtutil : /usr/bin/fmtutil executable : pdfetex format : cont-en inputfile : hw output : standard interface : en options : verbose current mode : none TeX run : 1 pdfetex -progname=context \&cont-en hw.tex This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.14159-1.10b-2.1 (Web2C 7.4.5) entering extended mode (./hw.tex{/usr/share/texmf/pdftex/config/pdftex.cfg} ConTeXt ver: 2005.01.31 fmt: 2005.5.7 int: english mes: english systems : pdfTeX version 110 -> please update systems : eTeX version 201 -> too old (bugs) language : language en is active <protectionstate 0> system : cont-new loaded (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/cont-new.tex systems : beware: some patches loaded from cont-new.tex! color : palette rollover is available system (E-TEX) : [line 878] system (E-TEX) : [line 933] ) system : cont-old loaded (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/cont-old.tex loading : Context Old Macros ) system : cont-fil loaded (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/cont-fil.tex loading : Context File Synonyms ) system : cont-sys.rme loaded (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/user/cont-sys.rme (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-syn.tex) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-enc.tex) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-dis.tex) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-siz.tex) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-map.tex) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-spe.tex) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-exa.tex) (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/type-akb.tex)) bodyfont : 12pt rm is loaded language : patterns en->default:default->1->2:2 uk->default:default->2-> 2:2 de->texnansi:texnansi->3->2:2 de->ec:ec->4->2:2 fr->texnansi:texnansi->5->2 :2 fr->ec:ec->6->2:2 es->default:default->7->2:2 it->texnansi:texnansi->8->2:2 it->ec:ec->9->2:2 nl->texnansi:texnansi->10->2:2 nl->ec:ec->11->2:2 loaded specials : tex,postscript,rokicki loaded system : hw.top loaded (./hw.top !

no 'd' in math-eul.tex
by Johan Sandblom 09 May '05

09 May '05

In the math-eul.tex shown in the contextgarden.net source browser dated 2003.02.03, which is the only one I have found, the following lines occur ... \definemathcharacter [c] [nothing] [mr] ["63] \definemathcharacter [d] [nothing] [mr] ["65] \definemathcharacter [e] [nothing] [mr] ["65] \definemathcharacter [f] [nothing] [mr] ["66] ... and ... \definemathcharacter [C] [nothing] [mr] ["43] \definemathcharacter [D] [nothing] [mr] ["45] \definemathcharacter [E] [nothing] [mr] ["45] \definemathcharacter [F] [nothing] [mr] ["46] ... making 'd' and 'D' print as 'e' and 'E'. I suppose this is a mistake?

alignment issues
by Idris Samawi Hamid 09 May '05

09 May '05

Dear cartel, Two problems (annoyances?) with alignment,: PROBLEM 1: \startalignment[left] creates a spurious underfull hbox: ======================= % output=pdf interface=en \starttext \startalignment[left] This is a test of alignment. \stopalignment \stoptext ======================= log: ======================= Underfull \hbox (badness 10000) in paragraph at lines 7--8 []\*12ptrmtf* This is a test of align-ment. \hbox(8.26648+2.33331)x426.78743, glue set 12.00853 .\glue(\leftskip) 0.0 plus 24.0 .\hbox(0.0+0.0)x0.0 .\*12ptrmtf* T .\*12ptrmtf* h .\*12ptrmtf* i .etc. ======================= The other three alignments (see below) do not have this problem; PROBLEM 2: I think this may have came up a couple of years ago as well, don't remember if there was ever a resolution... The options to \start-\stopalignment are inconsistent and, in my view, contrary to common sense-). Try ======================= % output=pdf interface=en \starttext \rightaligned{This is a test of right alignment.} \startalignment[right] This is a test of right alignment. \stopalignment \blank[big] \leftaligned{This is a test of left alignment.} \startalignment[left] This is a test of left alignment. \stopalignment \stoptext ======================= \startalignment[right] does the opposite of \rightaligned; ditto for \startalignment[right] and \leftaligned. \rightaligned and \leftaligned are correct in my view. Aside: As ConTeXt develops bidi support, we need alternatives to [left] and [right] anyway. But it is still apparently inconsistent as it stands (with emphasis on `apparently' since I am missing/have forgotten the point of why things behave like this).

reference
by Jörg Hagmann 08 May '05

08 May '05

Dear list members, I can't figure out how to refer to figures. In the setuparea I have e.g.: \useexternalfigure[anapler][anaplerosis][width=\textwidth] In the body I had: \placefigure{Acetyl-CoA stimuliert die anaplerotische Reaktion etc...}{\externalfigure[anapler]} In the text: (\in{Abb.}[anapler] pdf output gave Abb. ?? I then added a reference to \placefigure: \placefigure[anapler1]{text ...}[anapler] and (\in{Abb.}[anapler1] Same result, i.e. ?? I then thought that maybe, although this seems unlikely, "[fig:..] is needed, as in the examples in the manuals. I replaced the reference with [fig:anapler], same result. As so far practically nothing worked the first time, but I always managed to find the error after some time, I kept staring at the manuals and my tex file. It didn't help. I hope somebody has the answer. Thank you very much, Jörg. PD Dr.med.
