Overfull boxes using m-cweb
by Edwin Wisse 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

Hello, I am running into overfull boxes when including a weaved cweb file into a context document. The original reference to the cwebmac.tex file (the plain TeX macro) is commented out and replaced by \usemodule[cweb]. The cweb macros appear to expand something into \*11ptmmmt* which seems to have something to do with it. Is there anyone here with experience and deep (Con)TeX(t) knowledge who understands what is happening? Regards, Edwin ----------------------------------part of my log file------------------------------------------------ Overfull \hbox (6.4885pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 3--13 \*11ptmmmr* for the ap-pli-ca-tion de-vel-op-ment mod-ule.

compound titles, lists and headers
by Henning Hraban Ramm 26 Sep '10

26 Sep '10

Dear list, my publisher forces me to set different things as titles, in headers and table of contents. In some cases \nolist and \nomarking aren't enough. here are my actual definitions: ---- \def\Untertitel#1{\blank[3pt]{\ss\bf #1}\blank} % ok \def\Titel#1#2{{\nohyphens\chapter{#1}\Untertitel{#2}}} % ok \def\KomplexTitel#1#2#3{{\writetolist[chapter]{#3}\nohyphens\title{#1}\U ntertitel{#2}}} ---- with ---- \start \setupheadertexts[][manual entry][part][] % normally defined as [][chapter][part][] \KomplexTitel{Main chapter title}{chapter subtitle}{toc entry} Much text \stop % of other headertext ---- Real life example: \start \setupheadertexts [][Vorwort][][] \KomplexTitel{Die neutrale Schweiz und das globale Dorf}% {Vorwort von Prof.|~|Dr.|~|Heinrich Ott}% {Vorwort Prof.|~|Dr.|~|Heinrich Ott:\\Die neutrale Schweiz und das globale Dorf} ... Now there stay two issues: 1. I'd like to get a four-parameter command that can set the header text also. 2. I must get a line feed into the toc, but neither \\ nor \crlf works. Please help! Thanks.

listings.sty
by Peter Münster 11 Jul '08

11 Jul '08

Hello, I suggested to the author of the very feature rich LaTeX-Listings package, Carsten Heinz, to port this package to ConTeXt, and it seems, that he is interested. But before doing it, there are some questions: * What do Hans and other people thing about that? * listings.sty uses keyval.sty, how is the proper ConTeXt-way to do the same things as keyval, or should listings stay with keyval?

broken: noligature AND hyphenation
by Steffen Wolfrum 20 Mar '07

20 Mar '07

Hi, just by chance I experienced that there seems to be a problem with ligatures and hyphenation in ConTeXt. This is the example: \usetypescript[postscript][\defaultencoding] \setupencoding[default=texnansi] \mainlanguage[de] \enableregime[mac] \setupbodyfont[postscript,10pt] \starttext Auflagen % the fl-ligature is wrong here Auf\-lagen % this is the right fl Auf\/lagen %this is the right fl 123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012 34567890 Auflagen % right hyphenation, but wrong ligature 123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012 34567890 Auf\-lagen % but this kills the other hyphenation Aufla-gen 123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012 34567890 Auf\/lagen % but this kills the other hyphenation Aufla-gen 123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012 34567890 Auf"-lagen % this is used in (La)TeX, but doesn'T work in ConTeXt?! % the next wrong causes an error (but would be perfect: 123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012 34567890 Auf"|lagen % this is used in (La)TeX, but doesn'T work in ConTeXt?! \stoptext What is needed is to ... 1) avoid the fl-ligature 2) preserve all the default hyphenation points In TeX (or only LaTeX?) Auf"-lagen or Auf"|lagen would do this. But what is the equivalent in ConTeXt? Steffen

register fine tuning
by Steffen Wolfrum 15 Feb '07

15 Feb '07

Hi, I am not sure how a ConTeXt index register is generated and what role the tui and tuo files play. But could it be possible to manually "fine tune" the generated register? Something like from ... Keywords -- secret 35 -- popular 25, 26, 27, 88, 89 ... to ... Keywords see also Commands -- secret 35 -- popular 25-27, 88-89 ... just by typing the changes in one of those helper files? Steffen

Easy insertion of Unicode symbols?
by cormullion＠mac.com 04 Jan '07

04 Jan '07

I need to insert a few Unicode symbols...(Just the symbols for the solar system planets)... Is this going to be easy - doable inside ConTeXt with a few preparatory mystic runes, or will it require running scripts, moving files around, etc...? The wiki suggests: Use \enableregime[utf] in order to be able to typeset in unicode under ConTeXt. But is it as simple as it looks?

I was feeling a bit bored today, so I came up with this. It is a plain e-TeX input file instead of a LaTeX package, but it should run without problems.

debian context updates
by Norbert Preining 03 Jan '07

03 Jan '07

Hi all! I have uploadedanother repetition, this time with new package splitting: package context: all the normal stuff as before package context-nonfree currently only the cowfonts package context-doc-nonfree all the pdf documentation from below, plus style.pdf and details.pdf which Hans suggested. So the context package has changed as it now suggests both context-nonfree and context-doc-nonfree. The tarball for context-nonfree has changed, as it only contains the cowfonts. And context-doc-nonfree is new.

Manual (English) Update soon?
by Douglas Philips 02 Jan '07

02 Jan '07

Hello again, I've just recently tried to "get up to speed" on ConTeXt by reading what I could find on the web, including cont-eni.pdf (ConTeXt the manual by Hans Hagen, November 12th, 2001). Recent activity on this list, discussing the Debian packaging, says (and I commented on this a few days ago in another thread): "ConTeXt is developed rapidly, often in response to requests from the friendly user community." And so I am wondering if ConTeXt is still too fresh... and if I'll have any chance of figuring out what/how to use it without having been on this list for the past 4+ years... (IIRC, Hans is also a core team member of LuaTeX, so perhaps I should just suck it up with LaTeX until LuaTeX is viable?) Advice, comments, etc. appreciated... --Doug

ConTeXt upgrade blues
by Rolf Marvin Bøe Lindgren 01 Jan '07

01 Jan '07

OK, so the ConTeXt that comes with the TeX distribution I use (until eariler today, MacPorts, and as from later today, fink) is ancient. now, with good old LaTeX that's not much of a problem - just put the most recent release in the few relevant places in texmf-local, rebuild the formats, and off you go. with ConTeXt, that's, er, not so simple. the first attempt I made was to pull dowm the most recent version of the base files and then run sudo texmfstart ctxtools --update which seemingly worked, pulled the updates to texmf-local, and complied with no error messages. however, the new ConTeXt failed to compile documents, giving lots of error messages about undefined commands. texexec test.tex (which used to work) gives mktextfm: `mf-nowin -progname=mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input ec-lmr12' failed to make ec-lmr12.tfm. kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log. ! Font \*12ptrmtfrm*=ec-lmr12 not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found. ruby `kpsewhich --format=texmfscripts texmfstart.rb` texexec test (which is in essence what the recommended shell script does) gives ConTeXt ver: 2005.01.31 fmt: 2006.12.30 int: english mes: english language : language en is active <protectionstate 0> system : cont-new loaded (/sw/share/texmf-local/tex/context/base/cont-new.tex ! Undefined control sequence. l.16 \newcontextversion {2006.12.27 11:34} now, according to several web pages, ec-lmr12 can be found on pragma's web, but it's not there. any suggestions? -- Rolf Lindgren roffe(a)extern.uio.no
