How to customize the default verbatim colors
by Eugene Toporov 29 Aug '05

29 Aug '05

Hi all! I recently started using Verbatim Macroses to make source code pieces look prettier in my docs. I use things like \setuptyping[JV] and then \startJV - \stopJV But I'd like to change the default colors in the macroses to my own. I only found that redefining some colors like this \definecolor [colorprettyone] [green] \definecolor [colorprettytwo] [navy] \definecolor [colorprettythree] [r=0,g=0,b=.9] makes effect, but that seems not very effective and affects all verbatims. 1) I could not find all colors. 2) I need several different schemes (palettes) for different verbatims (XML, Java, SQL). I expect there is a way to redefine whole palette or something. What's the easiest and the right way to do it? Thanks in advance! -- Eugene

[Fwd: ConTEXt Newbie: Column/table background color - which table model/command?]
by Taco Hoekwater 29 Aug '05

29 Aug '05

Hi all, Forwarding this from c.t.t. It looks like perhaps the OP's code is correct and something in ConTeXt is wrong (at least I cannot find anything wrong with the example code, even with \setupcolors[state=start], I get no background color). Perhaps somebody who has actually used table backgrounds can help? Taco -------- Original Message -------- Subject: ConTEXt Newbie: Column/table background color - which table model/command? Date: 26 Aug 2005 08:39:16 -0700 From: A. Lucas <kaffee24(a)gmx.de> Organization: http://groups.google.com Newsgroups: comp.text.tex I've only recently discovered ConTEXt and grabbed all the documentation I could find (but not quite read it). My question: If I want column background and line color, do I need METAPOST or is there a simpler way to do it? I need a multi-page table with continuous, but different columns widths and running headers on every new page - could/must I use btable (XML environment)? The \backgroundcolor and \background commands don't seem to work with \setuptables and \starttable(s). Example: ----------------- \placetable[here][tab:setuptables]{Ships that moored at Hasselt.} {\setuptables[bodyfont=10pt,rulethickness=6pt,background=color,backgroundcolor=red] \starttable[|cw(5cm)|cTw(3cm)|]% '|' wird hier nicht gedruckt, dient als column separator; mit w(...) width festsetzen \HL% horizontal line \VL \bf Year \DC \bf Number of ships \VL\SR% new colum bold font seperate row \HL \VL 1645 \DC 450 \VL\FR% first row \VL 1671 \DC 480 \VL\MR% mid row \VL 1676 \DC 500 \VL\MR \VL 1695 \DC 930 \VL\LR% last row \HL \stoptable} ------------------ I get the thick border but no colors. Maybe I'm just to dumb yet and will know more after a weekend of reading up, but I'd be thankful for a hint.

Hi, Thanks for the link to the faq. I did what was said there: 1. I installed the lm fonts 2. I emended the miktex.ini file according to the specifications The texexec -- make en nl still fails (see end of log) My test file, the one I am working on, apparently processes normally, but the output is dvi rather than pdf. References are not processed. Something is still wrong. Could anyone help me out? Help greatly appreciated!

tcsh: texexec: Command not found.
by Alan Bowen 28 Aug '05

28 Aug '05

I am working from a backup of my ConTeXt/teTeX installation (in MacOS X 10.4.2) and find that when I try to typeset files, I now get the error message: tcsh: texexec: Command not found. In trying to deal with this, I discovered that the alias of teTeX in my Library folder is broken. I guess the question is “How do I re- establish the link?”, given that the original seems to be invisible. Or is there something else I must do (too)? I apologize for the newbie question—my dream is to have some time to learn about unix and the teTeX installation. ’Til now I have relied on Gerben’s i-installer to do most of the thinking for me. Indeed, I would just re-install everything, were it not for the fact that I am currently limited to access by 56K modem. Cheers, Alan

Lettrine module
by Willi Egger 26 Aug '05

26 Aug '05

Good morning Taco, sorry for addressing a question to you peronally. When trying to use other commands like \framedtext or \startalignment in connection with the lettrine-module I get an error concerning a ! Missing number, treated as zero. Could you please have a look at this? Minimal example: \usemodule[lettri] \setuplettrine[Lines=2, Hang=0, Oversize=0, Raise=0, Findent=0pt, Nindent=0.5em, Slope=0pt, Ante=, FontHook=, TextFont=\sc, Image=no] \starttext % \startalignment[middle] \framedtext[frame=off,align=middle,offset=10pt,style=\bfa,width=\makeupwidth]{% \lettrine[Lines=4,Slope=-.7em, Hang=.5, Nindent=16pt]{\red L}{as} pe\~{n}as y las vaquitas \crlf Se van por la misma senda. \crlf Las pe\~{n}as son de nosotros,\crlf Las vaquitas son ajenas. } % \stopalignment \stoptext Thanks for your support Willi

Hello all ConTeXt users, I'll move the website contextgarden.net to another (bigger, faster) machine tomorrow. Expect some downtime and inconveniences, although I try to make the transition smooth. I might disable wiki editing on the old machine to avoid data loss. Please report any errors you'll spot. Thanks for your patience, Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki and more: http://contextgarden.net

Re: [NTG-context] how to use Times Roman font

On 2005-03-20 and 2005-03-21 there was a thread on this list about using the Times Roman font under the CONTEXT distribution for Windows. I'm running into similar problems (also with the Bookman and Lucida bright fonts) and I am curious whether the problem was solved and how. Sytse Knypstra

May be useful someday. So, thanks! b) You can access \leftskip to get idea how much space is left on the > left side, there is also a \hsize, but there must be some better solution. Will try playing with this if no other solutions. Thanks for your suggestions. Eugene

latin modern / czech polish vietnamese
by Hans Hagen 24 Aug '05

24 Aug '05

Hi, Currently plr and csr metrics are still used, but an alternative is to make those encodings regimes and use qx font encoding instead; that way we can drop quite some metric files. As far as i know il2 and pl0 are only used for computer modern. Concerning vietnamese ... may we assume that latin modern is used there (i.e. drop vnr)?
