Creating two-column enumeration inside a frame
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 17 Dec '06

17 Dec '06

Hello, I have a problem with creating two-column enumeration inside a frame. If I don't use framed text command (commented here), everything goes well - in two columns. But once I uncomment those lines, the list appears pretty framed but not in columns. Since I have a lot of math formulas indeed, that's bothers me. Thank you in advance. \defineframedtext[assignment][rulethickness=2pt, corner=round, width=\textwidth] \starttext %\startassignment \startitemize[packed, columns, two] \item\math{(c + 4*d - 123) \over (1 - a/2)} \item\math{(2*c + d - 52) \over (a/4 + 1)} \item\math{(c/4 - d*62) \over (a*a + 1)} \item\math{(-2*c - d + 53) \over (a/4 - 1) } \item\math{(2*c - d/4) \over (a*a + 1) } \stopitemize %\stopassignment \stoptext

coupling register with head
by Idris Samawi Hamid 16 Dec '06

16 Dec '06

Dear posse, Is it possible to couple the \index register with \head instead of page numbers? I have a document that is exactly one single \start-\stopitemize[n] with over 1000 \head entries. The \index'ed items occur for the most part in the second paragraph after \head. I would like the index to tell me which heading number my entry falls under. Is this possible? If so, how?

SmallCaps for Bitstream Charter
by John R. Culleton 16 Dec '06

16 Dec '06

It took a bit of searching but I found this package on ctan: mdbch.zip This is a math add-on that has both regular and bold small caps. Unzip it in texmf-local and then modify type-charter as needed. -- John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost.

What happened to the em dashes?
by John R. Culleton 16 Dec '06

16 Dec '06

I just noticed on a sample chapter sent to a customer that the em dashes are missing. What is shown is the three hyphens instead. In my document I have this: \loadmapfile[8r-adobe-garamond.map] \usetypescriptfile[type-agaramond.tex] \usetypescript[AGaramond] \setupbodyfont[MyGaramond,11pt] In type-agaramond.tex I have this: --------------------------------------- \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-AGaramond-RegularSC] [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 ------------------------------------------------- I intstalled the fonts by using the texfont package. I can of course look up the glyph on the chart and do a \char thingie but the em dash is so basic I don't know how I messed it up. Does it have something to do with the 8r-raw encoding? That is what came out of texfont. -- John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost. Satisfaction guaranteed. http://wexfordpress.com

french, ponctuation and directdiscretionary or discretionarytoken pb
by olivier Turlier 15 Dec '06

15 Dec '06

Hi everybody, I've recently upgraded to ConTeXt ver: 2006.11.23 14:46 MK II fmt: 2006.11.24 int: english/english (mswincontext.zip of 2006-11-24) and there is a pb with all "french" ponctuation characters : context compile break on a \directdiscretionary or \discretionarytoken pb. Exemple : (... ! Missing \endcsname inserted. <to be read again> \edef \directdiscretionary #1->\edef \discretionarytoken {\detokenize {#1}}\let \t... <argument> guide-calc-sol-tecic-rt2000: : \dodoexpandreferences ... \specialREFidentifier #1 \endcsname \edef \expanded... \doexpandreferences ...ences #1REF(\relax )\relax \@EAEAEA \doexpandreferenc... \expandreferences ...count \doexpandreferences #1, ],) It's either in Metapost code : (; at the end of a line) or in references : (\section[sec:section01]{Section01} see about[sec:section01]) or : {\gotobox{\externalfigure[guide-sol-tecic-gobacked.pdf][width=.2\textwidth][page=1]}[guide-calc-sol-tecic-rt2000::] }) I guess the problem occurs when there is no space between ponctuation sign & preceeding text. I tried to produce a minimal exemple, but this one is working in every case ! If you want to reproduce the pb, here is the complete attached env & file : full french mess inside ! (for the moment, I go back to an earlier version : I must produce something!) TIA for any answers olivier Turlier

Page headers/footers setup
by Wim Neimeijer 15 Dec '06

15 Dec '06

Hi all, I want to use different headers/footers for the different section blocks. I use \setupheaderstexts, \setupfootertexts but those are global settings. What I now use is a couple of \setupheader[state=start/stop] and \setupfooter[state=start/stop] to switch off/on the (un)desired header/footer. How can I specifically set the headers/footers per sectionblock so they act only on the body matter or back matter ? Kind regards Wim

counter in ConTeXt
by Michael 15 Dec '06

15 Dec '06

How do I use counter in ConTeXt? Specifically, I use this to define '\startproblem\stopproblem'. \defineenumeration[problem][location=top,text=Problem,% between=\blank,before=\blank,after=\page] I want to say \totalnumberofproblems, in the beginning of the exam, like \totalnumberofpages. How do I do that? Thanks, Michael

Hi, How to set background music in a presentation ? I mean, I want the audio to start automatically as a background when the pdf file is opened, not as a hyper link. Thanks a lot. xiaojf
