\typefile with a file in \usepath fails
by nico 30 Apr '06

30 Apr '06

Hello, \typefile does not output a file not in the current directory but available from a path defined by \usepath. It sounds like a bug since the file is actually found; if not, a message telling that the file does not exist would be printed. Example: \usepath[/path/to/my/file] \typefile{filebasename} Regards, BG

by Taco Hoekwater 28 Apr '06

28 Apr '06

Hello all, I am pleased to announce that the new ConTeXt release from Hans Hagen can be downloaded as of now from the Pragma ADE website or one of its mirrors. The current release has version 2006.04.27, and it is on the wiki as http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Context_2006.04.27 The most important news items are (I guess) * the addition of some modules to cont-ext.zip: - t-construction-plan - t-degrade - t-french * Support for leftpage and rightpage floats. * Of course, there are also a number of bugs fixed. Happy TeXing, Taco Hoekwater

Breaking large equations across pages
by Aditya Mahajan 28 Apr '06

28 Apr '06

Pagebreak of formula across pagebreaks is broken in the new release (ConTeXt ver: 2006.04.27 15:59). Consider \starttext \placeformula \startformula \startalign \dorecurse{50} {\NC a \NC = b \NR[+]} \stopalign \stopformula \stoptext (This used to work earlier, I can not test this, but I have document where the display broke across pages. Can somewith with an old ~ Mar, 2006 release test this?) Also, is it possible to have more control over where the display breaks. With latex, I can force equation break by using \allowdisplaybreaks[1|2|3|4] \documentclass{article} \usepackage{amsmath} \allowdisplaybreaks %<------------ Try with and without this. \begin{document} \begin{align} a &= b \\ % Paste the above line 50 times a &= b \end{align} \end{document} Ideally, context should also provide something configurable. Maybe, it should be part of \setupformulas[displaybreak=tolerant|verytolerant|strict|verystrict] Also there should be something like \NC .... \NR \allowdisplaybreak[yes|no|disable...same meaning as in \page[....] \NC ..... \NR to have more control over the pagebreak.

mswincontext problems
by Taco Hoekwater 28 Apr '06

28 Apr '06

Hi all (esp. windows users), Last night I tried setting up a Win98SE for use with context using mswincontext.zip (I borrowed a laptop for bachotek, so I could not install linux on it ... ). It went terribly wrong. At first I thought it was just the shoddy Win98 install on that machine, but Olivier tells me he also had problems installing the latest mswincontext, so I hope another someone who uses Windows98 can testrun the installation. I got all sort of errors from command.com (syntax error, out of environment space, command not found, permission denied), and the wiki page is definately incomplete so I could not really debug. In the end, I basically gave up. Cheers, taco
