definesortkey
by Johan Sandblom 04 Apr '06

04 Apr '06

I have a document in Swedish with an index. Merely setting mainlanguage[sv] does not give correct sort order. I remember doing something like \startlanguagespecifics[sv] \definesortkey[å][z][a][å] \definesortkey[ä][z][b][ä] \definesortkey[ö][z][c][ö] \stoplanguagespecifics but this no longer has any effect and gives TeXUtil | unknown entry k in line k {sv}{ec}{å}{z}{a}{å} TeXUtil | unknown entry k in line k {sv}{ec}{ä}{z}{b}{ö} TeXUtil | unknown entry k in line k {sv}{ec}{ö}{z}{c}{ö} from newtexexec (this is on a current windows standalone context) What is the correct code?

Myway on using mathalign
by Aditya Mahajan 03 Apr '06

03 Apr '06

Hi, I have written some examples on how to use startalign. Patrick has placed it on the garden. It can be downloaded from http://dl.contextgarden.net/myway/mathalign.pdf In case someone is interested, the source is available at http://dl.contextgarden.net/myway/mathalign.tex This is how I understand math alignment. Let me know if there is a mistake somewhere. Thanks, Aditya -- Aditya Mahajan, EECS Systems, University of Michigan http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~adityam || Ph: 7342624008

Metafun - Metapost capacity exceeded
by Thomas Engel 03 Apr '06

03 Apr '06

Hello, I'm doing my first work with metafun to generate a switchgear layout from a cvs file. During the run (texexec ) I get the message - Metapost capacity exceeded and a part of the drawing is missing. I followed the thread -TeX capacity exceeded with metafun- and increased the memory size in texmf.cnf but this is not the solution! Any suggestion what's going wrong? btw. it is allowed to send the tex file to the list? Thanks Thomas

by Willi Egger 03 Apr '06

03 Apr '06

Ik was in contcat met Oscar, t.a.v. partners ... De militaire kazerne ligt op ca 5 km afstand van de plaats waar de veer aanmeert. Die plaats is geen echt dorp. Het zou dus nodig zijn, dat men een fiets ter beschikking heeft. dat is meeneemt of in het eerste dorp huurt. t.a.v. aanmeldingen ik heb de aanmelding van Taco en Roland Kwee binnen verder is het stil. t.a.v. programma op de website zetten. Erik heeft niet gereageerd op mijn mail van 31-03 j.l. Zal die evt met vakantie zijn? Wie kunnen anders dit laten doen? Groet Willi

I have found TWO different files 'texmf.cnf'. One in 'tex\texmf\web2c' the other in 'tex\texmf-local\web2c'. Meight this be an Problem? Which of them is the right one? I have NOT found any file 'pdftex.cfg'. Ist this normal? In 'texmf.cnf' are some pathes written with '/' and '\' mixed. Should this be korrekted. Wolfgang

XML and title page rule
by Johannes Graumann 03 Apr '06

03 Apr '06

Hello, I'm trying to make the following work: 1) XML: <titlepage authors="Autor Autor" title="Something &emdash; or <i>Something else</i>" subtitle="Much Fun" publisher="Somebody" /> 2) ConTeXt translation rule: \defineXMLargument[titlepage]{% \startstandardmakeup \vfil \bfd \setupinterlinespace Whatever \par \bfb \setupinterlinespace You Want \par \vfil \vfil \stopstandardmakeup } I was intending to feed the variables in through '\XMLvar', but can't get the start working (see 2).). I would be grateful if someone could nudge me into the right direction ... Is it even possible to have XML nodes in the variables evaluated ("<i>")? If the above isn't feasible: how would I write an import rule for something like: <titlepage> <authors>Autor Autor</authors> <title>Something &emdash; or <i>Something else</i></title> <subtitle>Much Fun</subtitle> <publisher>Somebody</publisher> </titlepage> Thanks for any hints - need sleep now ...

XML and references

Hello all, I'm trying to interpret something like <section label="intro:mixtureprob"> <title>The problem of the complex protein mixture</title> <content> <ref name="intro:mixtureprob"/> </content> </section> With the follwing mapping rules and am failing: \defineXMLenvironment [section] { \defineXMLargument [title] [\XMLpar{section}{label}{}] {\section} \defineXMLenvironment [content] {}{} } {} \defineXMLargument [ref] {\textreference[\XMLpar{ref}{name}{}]} I would appreciate any insight into my folly ...

Figure Libraries
by David Arnold 03 Apr '06

03 Apr '06

All, I have chapter1.tex: \startproduct chapter1 \project book \startbodymatter \setupheadnumber[chapter][0] \chapter[chap:1]{Functions} \component chapter1/section1 \component chapter1/section2 \component chapter1/section3 \component chapter1/section4 \stopbodymatter \stopproduct All the files for chapter1 are in a folder named chapter1, for example chapter1/section1.tex. All the figures for chapter1 are in chapter1/figures/. section2.tex starts with: \startcomponent section2 \project book \product chapter1 \usemodule[newmat] \usemodule[math-ext] \usemodule[fig-base] \usefigurebase[figures/figlibSection2] \section[section:graph]{The Graph of a Function} In chapter1/figures/figlibSection2.xml, there is: <figure> <file>sec2foura.png</file> <label>foura</label> <copyright>College of the Redwoods Mathematics Department</copyright> <comment></comment> </figure> section4.tex starts with: \startcomponent section4 \project book \product chapter1 \usemodule[newmat] \usemodule[math-ext] \usemodule[fig-base] \usefigurebase[figures/figlibSection4] In chapter1/figures/figlibSection4.xml, there is: <figure> <file>sec4foura.png</file> <label>foura</label> <copyright>College of the Redwoods Mathematics Department</copyright> <comment></comment> </figure> The difficulty was this. When I compiled chapter1.tex, the \externalfigure[foura] in section4.tex used the foura from figlibSection2.xml. My workaround was to rename the second instance \externalfigure [sec4foura], but I am wondering a bit about this mechanism.

All, I have the strangest Metapost error. The attached file compiles with: texexec section1figs It compiles just fine. But if I take the last graphic in the file, copy it (everything between last \startMPpage...\stopMPpage pair, including \startMPpage ... \stopMPpage, then paste it at the end of the file, then I get this error: [10.1] [MP to PDF] (./section1figs-mpgraph.11) [11.1] [MP to PDF] (./section1figs-mpgraph.12 ! Dimension too large. <recently read> \onebasepoint \handleMPboundingbox ... \dimen 2 #5\onebasepoint \xdef \MPyshift {\the \dim... l.2 %%BoundingBox: -63 -57 67 23594 ? Any ideas?
