Context and eplain.tex
by John R. Culleton 05 Dec '06

05 Dec '06

These two excellent macro sets continue to be incompatible. Currently this is the error message I get when I do an \input eplain.tex in a Context document, using the latest eplain.tex version 3.1: -------------------------------------- (./eplain.tex ! No room for a new \count . \ch@ck ...\else \errmessage {No room for a new #3} \fi \newinsert ...nt by\m@ne \ch@ck 0\insc@unt \count \ch@ck 1\insc@unt \dimen \... l.2128 \newinsert\@indexproof ----------------------------------------------------- I had patched an earlier version of eplain by commenting out one line and it would work with Context. But that line seems not to exist any more. It was: %\def^^L{\par}% Am I the only one that tries to use these two in the same document run? -- John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost.

Anyone for Garamond?
by John R. Culleton 05 Dec '06

05 Dec '06

I am able to establish Adobe Garamond as my body type with just a couple of TeXish commands. But my maneuvering though the maze of typescripts and synonymns yields no results. Here is my current typescript type-agaramond.tex: ------------------------------------------------------------- \usetypescriptfile[type-buy] \starttypescript [serif] [garamond] [8r] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-Roman] [8r-raw-AGaramond-Regular] [encoding=8r] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-Italic] [8r-raw-AGaramond-Italic] [encoding=8r] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-Roman-SmallCaps] [8r-raw-gdsc] [encoding=8r] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [garamond] [name] \usetypescript[serif][fallback] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [AGaramond-Roman] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [AGaramond-Italic] \definefontsynonym [SerifCaps] [AGaramond-Roman-SmallCaps] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [AGaramond] \definetypeface [MyGaramond] [rm] [serif] [garamond] [default] [encoding=8r] \stoptypescript ---------------------- And here are the commands in the file: ---------------------------------- \loadmapfile[8r-adobe-garamond.map] \usetypescriptfile[type-agaramond.tex] \usetypescript[garamond] \setupbodyfont[AGaramond,10pt] -------------------------------- The map file referenced above and produced by the Texfonts utility is: -------------------------------------------------------------------- % This file is generated by the TeXFont Perl script. % % You need to add the following line to pdftex.cfg: % % map +8r-adobe-garamond.map % % Alternatively in your TeX source you can say: % % \pdf {+8r-adobe-garamond.map} % % In ConTeXt you can best use: % % \loadmapfile[8r-adobe-garamond.map] 8r-raw-AGaramond-Italic AGaramond-Italic 4 < AGaramond-Italic.pfb 8r.enc 8r-raw-AGaramond-Regular AGaramond-Regular 4 < AGaramond-Regular.pfb 8r.enc 8r-raw-AGaramond-RegularSC AGaramond-RegularSC 4 < AGaramond-RegularSC.pfb 8r.enc 8r-raw-gdsc AGaramond-RegularSC 4 < gdsc____.pfb 8r.enc -------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are no error messages, but no Garamond either. But this works: \font\rmm 8r-raw-AGaramond-Regular at 10pt \rmm If anyone can spot the fatal flaw or has a correct typescript etc. please advise. -- John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost.

TABLE moves to the right with new ConTeXt
by Peter Münster 05 Dec '06

05 Dec '06

Hello, with the latest ConTeXt, it seems, that space around \bTR, \eTR, before \bTD and after \eTD matters. Such space seems to move the whole TABLE to the right: \def\XXX#1{\bTR\bTD#1\eTD\eTR} \starttext \centerline{\bTABLE\dorecurse{2}{\XXX{bla}}\eTABLE} \centerline{\bTABLE\dorecurse{2}{\XXX{bla} }\eTABLE} \centerline{\bTABLE\dorecurse{20}{\XXX{bla} % Why does this space matter here? }\eTABLE} \stoptext Is this behaviour normal and wanted?

ragged right control
by Alan Bowen 05 Dec '06

05 Dec '06

I have been setting bibliographies using the following instructions: \definehead[BibTitle][subject] \setupsectionblock[BibTitle][number=no,page=right] \setuphead[BibTitle][style={sc},after={\blank}] \def\hangover{\hangafter=1\hangindent=1.5pc\raggedright} \definestartstop[bibliography][ before={ \page[no] \indenting[never] \startalignment[left] \BibTitle{bibliography} \stopalignment \bgroup\appendtoks\hangover\to\everypar }, after={ \egroup \indenting[yes]}] Is there a way to control the degree of the raggedness of the right margin---other than by inserting hyphens manually when feasible? I need lines that are somewhat closer to justified than I am currently getting. Alan

OpenOffice export
by Idris Samawi Hamid 05 Dec '06

05 Dec '06

Hi gang, I just learned that OOo 2.04 has a LaTeX export (downloading now). Any of you bright programmers up to writing a ConTeXt export (or porting the LaTeX filters to ConTeXt)? I'm quite serious: if anyone is interested I'll write (or help write) a grant proposal for it (I've already had some TeX-related proposals funded so...). Please write me if you are interested in a grant, or else we can just discuss it on dev-context(a)ntg.nl and get it done another way!

columns does not break
by Vit Zyka 04 Dec '06

04 Dec '06

Dear, final formating of Beginners' manual shows a bug of breaking columns (in setup index). Here is a minimal example: ----------------------- \showframe \starttext \startcolumns [n=2,tolerance=verytolerant,rule=~\vrule height\maxcolumnheight~] \switchtobodyfont[10pt] \framed[height=.3\textheight,width=broad]{.3textheight} \framed[height=.8\textheight,width=broad]{.8textheight} \framed[height=.1\textheight,width=broad]{.1textheight} % \framed[height=.1\textheight,width=broad]{.1textheight} % \framed[height=.1\textheight,width=broad]{.1textheight} \stopcolumns \stoptext ----------------------- If we comment two last lines everything goes well. Uncommenting them the biggest frame leaves in the first column and extents the layout. In the manual it results in some setup syntax is out of the page. Please, could you help Vit

exchanging xml values
by Karsten Heymann 04 Dec '06

04 Dec '06

Hello, I use the following code to format xml tables with context. There I want to exchange the meanings of align=[left|right], but I failed so using \mapXMLvalue. Any Ideas? Yours, Karsten \usemodule[contml] \autoXMLnamespace [context] \starttext \mapXMLvalue {p:align} {right} {left} \mapXMLvalue {p:align} {left} {right} \defineXMLenvironment [p] {\startalignment[\XMLop{align}]} {\stopalignment} \setupTABLE[column][each][width=8em] \startXMLdata <table> <tr> <td><p align="center">center</p></td> <td><p align="left">left</p></td> <td><p align="right">right</p></td> </tr> </table> \stopXMLdata \stoptext

prodint typescripts remove style
by M.J. Kallen 04 Dec '06

04 Dec '06

Hi Hans or Taco, or anyone else, the typescripts which you (recently) suggested for the prodint symbol work, but it turns out that any font styles (for example \bf, \it, etc.) do not. In the following example, the boldface text remains normal: %------------------------------------------------------------------------ % test document: \definefontsynonym [MathGamma] [prodint] \definefamilysynonym [default] [xop] [mc] \startmathcollection [default] \definemathsymbol [prodi] [op] [xop] [80] %80 prodinttext \definemathsymbol [Prodi] [op] [xop] [82] %82 prodintdisplay \definemathsymbol [PRODI] [op] [xop] [84] %84 prodintbig \stopmathcollection \loadmapfile[prodint] \starttypescript [math] [modern,computer-modern,latin-modern,ams] [size] \definebodyfont [17.3pt,14.4pt,12pt,11pt,10pt,9pt,8pt,7pt,6pt,5pt,4pt] [mm] [mc=prodint] \stoptypescript \definetypeface [modern] [mm] [math] [modern] [computer-modern][encoding=default] \setupbodyfont[reset,modern,10pt] \enablemathcollection[prodint] \starttext $\prodi,\Prodi,\PRODI$ This is {\bf boldface} text. \stoptext %------------------------------------------------------------------------ Do you have any suggestions to fix this?
