changing from oldstyle to upright
by Idris Samawi Hamid 20 Aug '05

20 Aug '05

Dear consortium, Switching to oldstyle is easy: \usetypescript [modern][\defaultencoding] \usetypescript [map] [latin-modern-os] [\defaultencoding] \setupbodyfont [modern] But how do I locally switch back to upright? Declaring \usetypescript [map] [latin-modern] [\defaultencoding] does nothing. Basically I want to have something like \def\UP{\switchtobodyfont[lmrup]} for local effects. I tried \definetypeface [lmrup] [rm] [serif] [latin-modern] [default] [encoding=texnansi] to no avail as well. Test file attached Thnx in advance!

Hello, I'm really interested in de context concept. I see several impressive layouts at de pragma-ade site. As a newbie I find it difficult to create such layout. Can anyone point me some good examples? thanks p. _________________________________________________________________ Speel online games via MSN Messenger http://messenger.msn.nl/

Hi, There is a bug in the latest type-syn.tex: \starttypescript [serif] [modern,computer-modern-vari,latin-modern-vari] [name] => \starttypescript [serif] [modern-vari,computer-modern-vari,latin-modern-vari] [name] (no need for format generation) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

bug in indentation
by Idris Samawi Hamid 19 Aug '05

19 Aug '05

Dear knights, There is apparently something wrong with the indenting mechanism in the latest context: I have to invoke indenting twice to cut it on (uncomment the second \setupindenting): ============================ % output=pdf interface=en \setupwhitespace[none] \setupindenting[medium,next] % does not indent %\setupindenting[medium,next] % need both to indent \definestartstop [quote] [before={\startnarrower[1*middle]\blank[big]}, after={\stopnarrower\blank[big]}] \starttext \input knuth \startquote \input knuth \stopquote \input knuth \stoptext ============================ log verifying version ============================= This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2c 7.5.3) (format=cont-en 2005.8.18) 18 AUG 2005 21:47 entering extended mode \write18 enabled. (c:\CONTEXT\tex\texmf-local/web2c/natural.tcx) **&cont-en testblank.tex (./testblank.tex ConTeXt ver: 2005.08.15 fmt: 2005.8.18 int: english mes: english ============================= Similarly, if I want a local exception to the indentation I need something like \start\setupindenting[none]\setupindenting[none] <paragraph> \stop Also, dropped capes does not work well when indentation is on, calling for the local exception above. Finally, \indenting and \noindenting don't work like they used to: bug or feature? I actually spent hours trying to debug a huge manuscript (with messed up now fixed indentation) before finally realizing and isolating the problem. Upgrading ConTeXt is always an adventure...

TOC bug or feature?
by Idris Samawi Hamid 19 Aug '05

19 Aug '05

Hi Hans, Did u intentionally make the option [sectionnumber=yes] the default for \placelist[]? This seems rather strange and arbitrary (chapter and subsection are not affected)... Unfortunately, adding sectionnumber=no, also kills the sectioning numbers on the left of the titles... I need the sectioning labels in the left of the TOC but not in the page numbers...

>===== Original Message From Hans Hagen <pragma(a)wxs.nl> ===== >>Is engine path working? Is there one command to generate both aleph and >>pdfetex formats or do I have to do this separately? >> >> >should work automatically 1. Can I do something in e.g. texexec.ini so that texexec --make generates both pdfetex and aleph formats? Right now I still have to compile the aleph format separately. 2. Also: Although the tex engine per se is no longer needed, we still need to be able to e.g., aleph --ini *plain \dump right now some files (like manfnt) are missing from the distribution. It's very important to be able to compile aleph in plain fmt for testing purposes (it's how i found at least a couple of context-aleph bugs, for ex.).
