Accents in MathML
by Duncan Hothersall 25 May '05

25 May '05

Hello all. I'm processing some Spanish from Unicode and some of it is in MathML, for which I use ConTeXt's native processing. There seems to be a problem with accents. When I run this on Live: -- \mainlanguage[es]\enableregime[utf]\useencoding[uc] \useXMLfilter[utf]\usemodule[mathml] \starttext Maths with accents: \startXMLdata <formula><math><mtext>interés</mtext></math></formula>\stopXMLdata \stoptext -- it fails because of the é (which is an e with an acute accent, in case the mail system turns it into gobbledgook). Can anyone help? Thanks. Duncan

Vertical alignment in tables
by Nikolai Weibull 25 May '05

25 May '05

I’d like to have a table like this: 1 2 3 -------------------------------------------- Pic- ture- spanning- Centered1 Centered2 some- lines -------------------------------------------- Another- Picture- spanning- Centered1 Centered2 some- lines The first column contains a figure using \externalfigure. I want the following two columns to be vertically centered in the space that the picture occupies in each row of the table. A quick response would be preferable, as I really should hand in the paper containing the above table by tomorrow.

Why are all the typescripts accessed?
by John R. Culleton 24 May '05

24 May '05

When I texexec a file the names of all the typescripts on the system scroll by. Is something set up wrong? This slows down each run significantly. I run Slackware Linux and the TeX package from Slack-Current. Texexec alleges that it is version 5.2.4. -- John Culleton The answers to all your publishing questions are found in the excellent books listed in the word-famous shortlist! http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf

I try to use: \startformula \left\{ \begin{array}{r@=l} xx & yy \\ zz & aa \end{array} \right. \stopformula But Context log says "Undefined control sequence \begin{array}." How can I input multi-line equation in ConTeXt? Thanks _________________________________________________________________ 与联机的朋友进行交流，请使用 MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com/cn

RE: [NTG-context] How to use .eps figure in ConTeXt?
by Idris Samawi Hamid 23 May '05

>===== Original Message From Taco Hoekwater <taco(a)elvenkind.com> ===== >If you want to use your images in pdf, either convert them from eps to >pdf before calling texexec, or use the texexec => dvips => ps2pdf >route to create the pdf document (using ghostscript instead of pdftex). Careful, dvips does not work well with latin modern (or even other fonts); I have mostly given up on dvips as far as ConTeXt is concerned (and I can't count the number of hours I've messed with it)...

How to use .eps figure in ConTeXt?
by 龙飞 23 May '05

23 May '05

Today I try to insert .eps file in to my presentation. I use \externalfigure[xx.eps] to insert xx.eps. The figure shows correct in the dvi file generated by "texexec --once --texutils xx.tex". However this figure disappears in the pdf file generated by "texexec --pdf xx.tex". The log says "figures: xx.eps has zero dimensions". What is the problem? Is there anything wrong with the .eps file? Thanks _________________________________________________________________ 享用世界上最大的电子邮件系统― MSN Hotmail。 http://www.hotmail.com

Bold math in section titles ??
by Michael Fuchs 21 May '05

21 May '05

Hi! Is it possible to activate bold math printing in a chapter/section/subsection title? In the example the numbers withing math mode (and the greek symbols) are set in regular style, while the rest of the title is printed in bold. Best regards Michael -------------- Example: \setuphead[chapter][textstyle=bold] \setuphead[section][textstyle=bold] \setuphead[subsection][textstyle=bold] \starttext \chapter{Test} \section{$1 2 3 \alpha \beta \gamma \delta - 1 2 3 A B C D } \stoptext

Removing space between figure and caption
by Brooks Moses 21 May '05

21 May '05

I'm working on a presentation in ConTeXt, and running into a problem with some figures; I can't seem to figure out how to get things to do what I want. Here's a small file that demonstrates the problem: --------------------------------- \setupoutput[pdftex] \starttext \tfd \setupinterlinespace \setupcaptions[number=no] \setupcombinations[distance=5mm] \placefigure [here] {none} {\startcombination[2*1] {\scale[width=3in, height=2in]{X}} {\bfc Caption 1 \crlf Line 2} {\scale[width=3in, height=2in]{X}} {\bfc Caption 2 \crlf Line 2} \stopcombination} \stoptext --------------------------------- My problem is that space between the figures and the captions is much larger than I'd like. In the actual document, the figure contains its own whitespace, and so I'd like the top of the caption text to be right up against the bottom of the figure. Also, I'd like to make the spacing between the two caption lines a lot smaller. How can I accomplish this? Thanks, - Brooks
