Different pagebreaks for component and whole document
by Aditya Mahajan 08 Apr '06

08 Apr '06

Hi, I have run into a strange kind of a problem and I am not sure on how to debug to figure out what is going wrong. Maybe someone with more experience with context can help me here. I have the following document structure project: main.tex environment:env_main.tex products: assignments.tex handouts.tex project: assignments.tex components:assignment-01.tex assignment-02.tex and so on project: handouts.tex component: handout-01.tex handout-02.tex and so on. Each component starts with \title which does a page break. There are no local setups in any component. I expected that each component will be typed out in the same manner, whether I compile the a component, a product or the entire project. It turns out this is not the case. The first page of handout-01.tex is different when I compile the project (main.tex). The pagebreak is set at a different place and I get ugly page break at the end. If I compile handouts.tex or handout-01.tex, the page breaks are same and there is no ugly pagebreak at the end. Is it possible that such a behaviour is due to the length of the document. main.pdf is 105 pages long, while handout-01.pdf is 4 pages and handouts.pdf is 14 pages. It seems that due to the large length of main.pdf, context is not trying hard enough to get good page break. Even a manual \page[disable] does not prevent the ugly pagebreak for main.tex. I am totally confused by this behaviour. Any explainations or suggestions? -- Aditya Mahajan, EECS Systems, University of Michigan http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~adityam || Ph: 7342624008

Hans and all, there are two unpleasant things in the lates releases which may be bugs: 1. newtexexec --module --pdf does not work, it just doesn't process the modules (works with "old" texexec) 2. not sure if this is a misconfiguration on my system, but when I try to use texmfstart, I get this error: /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/scripts/context/ruby/base/ kpseremote.rb:8:in `require': No such file to load -- base/kpse/drb (LoadError) from /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/scripts/context/ruby/ base/kpseremote.rb:8 from /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/scripts/context/ruby/ texmfstart.rb:39:in `require' from /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/scripts/context/ruby/ texmfstart.rb:39 All best Thomas

Hello, \defineXMLentity [00B5] {\textmu} seems to deliver an italic mu when using the standard font. Is there a way to get a 'straight' one? Thanks, Joh

XML and subscript

Hello, Aside from the revelation that I will have to leave my debian tetex and go with the newest ConTeXt install for the (relatively) heavy lifting I'm doing here, I will now post my accumulated end-of-day questions one by one ;0) Here's the first one: Why does this not work and what makes it work: \defineXMLgrouped [sub] \low Thanks, Joh

I tried it, and the version output seems to be correct, but I still get the same error. I tried on my unmodified FC 5 installation at home and everything works fine. I'll be upgrading at work to FC 5 shortly and I hope to recover the working installation. -Tom

Context2html
by Todd DeVries 07 Apr '06

07 Apr '06

Hi Everyone, I am attempting to get html output from a simple Context source without much success. Tex4ht has a small note about private configuration files and a htcontext script. Is anyone using this or should I be looking down another road. I'm running Miktex with an early march update of Context. Thanks in advance, Todd
