German hyphenation broken ?
by Steffen Wolfrum 23 Oct '06

23 Oct '06

Hi, could someone please have a look at the minimal example below: On my system it seems that the old germ hyphenation doesn't work anymore. Line 7 and line 9 are for sure hyphenated according to the new rules "Einbu-ßen" and "Sy-stem" Do others experience the same or is only my installation broken?

Diese Tatsache ist nicht neu; die bisher vorhandene Finanzkraft der Sozialversicherung hat die Frage nur nicht aktuell werden lassen.

Fundamental change in index mechanism ?
by Steffen Wolfrum 22 Oct '06

22 Oct '06

Hi, because of a second edition I had to typeset a project from august 2006 a second time (with very, very little text changes). Then, I experienced that the register had changed (a simple \index [keyword] and \placeregister[index]). And with a closer look I saw that in the first edition the index entries also get listed in the index register when appearing also in the TOC content! Now, it was impossible for me to reproduce this: The first listed entries now came from the beginning of the actual text. Is this a know bug? (Is there already a fix for it?)

index question
by Thomas A. Schmitz 21 Oct '06

21 Oct '06

I couldn't find anything on the wiki or in the documentation: I have defined a special index which will typeset numbers in bold: \setupregister[index][imp][pagestyle=bold] which I invoke like \index[imp::]{modernity} How can I get a register range to use this special style? I tried something like \startregister[imp][signi][signifie]{\em signifié} but get errors "missing csname." What am i overlooking? Thanks Thomas

textrules
by Thomas A. Schmitz 21 Oct '06

21 Oct '06

Hi all, I want two paragraphs separated by a rule which has the same distance to the preceding and the following line (yes, I know that this is fuzzy, it's just the optical impression that counts). I can't get my head around the \setuptextrules command, which should allow to do this. I tried this: \def\smallblank{\blank[line]} \def\bigblank{\blank[2*line]} \setuptextrules[inbetween=\bigblank, before=\bigblank ] but I realize that the before, after, and inbetween keywords either don't do what I want or plain do nothing. Could somebody explain what their expected behavior is (and if I should use a different approach than textrule?). Thanks Thomas

bugs found while trying to support utf-8 Korean Hangul under ConTeXt
by Dohyun Kim 21 Oct '06

21 Oct '06

Hi, http://210.94.201.157/~nomos/KTUG/context-korean-test.tar.gz (3.4Mb) Recently I have tried to support typesetting UTF-8 Korean document under ConTeXt. In the course of that trying, I found some possible bugs of recent ConTeXt beta. You can see most of the bugs (or missing features) I found in the file named `testme.tex', which is contained in the tarball linked above. For those who do not want to download that large tarball, I here replicate those bugs or missing features: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % should be added to unic-cjk.tex % Hangul Syllables \dostepwiserecurse{172}{215}{1}{\expanded{\defineunicodecommand {\recurselevel}} {\lookaheaduchar}} % CJK Compatibility Ideographs \dostepwiserecurse{249}{250}{1}{\expanded{\defineunicodecommand {\recurselevel}} {\lookaheaduchar}} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % modify \enableunicodefont in font-uni.tex \def\enableunicodefont#1% {\definefontsynonym[\s!Unicode][\getvalue{\??uc#1\c!file}]% \def\unicodescale {\getvalue{\??uc#1\c!scale}}% \def\unicodeheight {\getvalue{\??uc#1\c!height}}% \def\unicodedepth {\getvalue{\??uc#1\c!depth}}% \def\unicodedigits {\getvalue{\??uc#1\c!conversion}}% \def\handleunicodeglyph {\getvalue{\??uc#1\c!command}}% \doifnot\currentregime{utf}{\enableregime[unicode]}% % the following \relax's are realy needed \doifvalue{\??uc#1\c!interlinespace}\v!yes \setupinterlinespace\relax \doifvalue{\??uc#1\c!strut}\v!yes {\setunicodestrut\unicodeheight\unicodedepth}% <- `%' inserted by nomos {\resetunicodestrut}% \getvalue{\??uc#1\c!commands}\relax} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % modify \sanitizePDFuniencoding in spec-tst.tex \long\def\sanitizePDFuniencoding#1\to#2% {\enablePDFunicrlf \simplifycommands % <- this line inserted by nomos \let\unicodechar\relax % prevent further expansion \retainlccodes\lccode32=255 % slooow \lowercasestring\PDFunicodetrigger#1\to#2% \edef#2{\expandafter\doPDFuni#2\empty\empty}} % slooow %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % modify mps file insertion code in spec-dpx.tex \definefileinsertion{dpx}{mps} % tpd -> dpx modified by nomos {\hbox {\convertMPtoPDF\@@DriverImageFile{1}{1}% \global\let\PDFimagereference\empty}} Certainly, the last is not problem confined to Hangul typesetting. As you know, however, CJK peoples do use heavily dvipdfmx to obtain PDF. Anyway, I hope these four files be modified in the near future. In addition, when I compiled LaTeX2ConTeXt.tex by Berend de Boer ( http://www.berenddeboer.net/tex/LaTeX2ConTeXt.tex ), I found there being inserted unintended large vertical whitespace in page 27 of resulting PDF. Though it seems to be a bug related to \setupbackground, I could not find the cause of problem as the code related to that command is too complicated for me. -- Dohyun Kim http://people.ktug.or.kr/~nomos/

frame "thickness"
by andrea valle 21 Oct '06

21 Oct '06

Hi to all, sorry this should be obvious but I cannot find it in the docs. How do I set in \setupframed the frame "thickness" (i.e. the thickness of the surrounding border)? Thanks a lot -a- Andrea Valle DAMS - Facoltà di Scienze della Formazione Università degli Studi di Torino http://www.semiotiche.it/andrea andrea.valle(a)unito.it

list ?
by Renaud AUBIN 20 Oct '06

20 Oct '06

Hi all, Considering the fact that I have no answer for the thread "[NTG-context] Presentation style: customizing the right interaction menu (list-related thread)", I decided to reformulate my problem... After some experiments, I have the following code: \definehead [Topic] [chapter] \definehead [Subject] [section] \setuplist[Topic][alternative=f,criterium=all,align=left] \setuplist[Subject][alternative=f,criterium=chapter,align=left] \starttext \Topic{Topic 1} \Subject{Subject 1} \Subject{Subject 2} \Subject{Subject 3} \placelist[Topic,Subject] \Topic{Topic 2} \Subject{Subject 1} \Subject{Subject 2} \Subject{Subject 3} \stoptext Considering the fact that I use criterium=chapter in \setuplist[Subject], I thought that \placelist[Topic,Subject] leads to: Topic 1 Subject 1 Subject 2 Subject 3 Topic 2 but unfortunately, that's not the case and I don't understand why... I've also tried some setup with combinedlist but nothing works... Could someone explain why criterium as no effect... Moreover, I don't understand what coupling= on|off does... Renaud

Fitz, MuPDF, Apparition
by luigi scarso 20 Oct '06

20 Oct '06

While downloading latest ghostscript, I found some news at www.ghostscript.com. At ccxvii.net/apparition there are MuPDF and Fitz where MuPDF is a pdf parser for Fitz, a new graphics library. Apparition is a pdf viewer that seems very good (I try it and it is clean and quick.) Does anybody know something about them ? luigi
