Hi Hans, With the latest release the following example doesn't give correct punctuation spaces... (at least here) \setupoutput[pdftex] \mainlanguage[fr] % Fonts settings for ConTeXt \usetypescriptfile[type-buy] \loadmapfile[texnansi-bh-lucida.map] \usetypescript[lucida][texnansi] \setupbodyfont[lucida,10pt] \starttext \placecontent[criterium=all] \section{Caractères accentués} éèiöô \section{Caractères spéciaux} \oe \euro \section{Ponctuation} Un test: Un autre test pour la ponctuation! Un autre test pour la ponctuation? \stoptext Cheers, Renaud

Global and per product TOC
by nico 09 May '06

09 May '06

Hello, I would like to be able to have a set of books in a single document, and think the project/product model could be used. In the big manual it is said that one can have a completecontent per product. I would like a global TOC, and for each product a TOC per product (in this case per book). Currently each book have the whole project TOC. How to achieve this? Thanks for any hint. The structure I've tried: \startproject proj % global TOC \completecontent \product book1 \product book2 \stopproject -------------- \startproduct book1 \project proj % well, to put in an environment file... \startsectionblockenvironment[frontpart] \setuppagenumber[number=1] \setuppagenumbering[conversion=romannumerals] \stopsectionblockenvironment \startsectionblockenvironment[bodypart] \setuppagenumber[number=1] \stopsectionblockenvironment \starttext \startfrontmatter % Local book TOC? \completecontent[criterium=local] \chapter{A} a \chapter{B} a \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \chapter{A} a \chapter{B} a \stopbodymatter \startappendices \chapter{A} a \chapter{B} a \stopappendices \stoptext \stopproduct ------------- (The same for book2) Regards, BG

\quad in pdf author
by Aditya Mahajan 09 May '06

09 May '06

Hi, \setupinteraction [ author={Author 1 \quad Author 2}, ] gives me "Author 1 hskip 1em" in pdf info. Is there some way to ensure that \quad is ignored when used in \setupinteraction[...]. I use variables and setups to create a title page and use doctitle and author information in pdf document properties. I need quad in the titlepage but not in pdf properties. Thanks, Aditya -- Aditya Mahajan, EECS Systems, University of Michigan http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~adityam || Ph: 7342624008

m-bib and \onlinecite
by Tobias Burnus 09 May '06

09 May '06

Hello, what is the recommended way to get the following: as is written in Ref.~4. Using Ref.~\cite[four] gives "Ref. [4]" with the superfluous brackets. (\cite[ref] should remain unmodified, ie with brackets, as this is mostly used in texts [1-5,7].) APS' revtex offers \onlinecite (Ref.~\onlinecite{four}) to obtain the reference number without the brackets. Tobias

t-greek and german "Umlaute"
by Ludwig Meier 09 May '06

09 May '06

Hello, I'd like to include text in classical greek in a german ConTeXt document. The "t-greek"-package works very well, but now there's a problem: ConTeXt does not understand german "Umlaute" and german quotationmarks any more. Here is a short example: \mainlanguage[de] \usemodule[t-greek] \starttext Die deutschen Umlaute funktionieren weder so ("a, "o oder "u) noch so (\"a, \"o oder \"u). Auch deutsche "`Anf"uhrungszeichen"' werden nicht erkannt. Das ist griechischer Text: \localgreek{p'olin >'ektisen}. \stoptext The result looks like this: Die deutschen Umlaute funktionieren weder so ( , oder ) noch so ( , oder ). Auch deutsche `Anfhrungszeichen werden nicht erkannt. Das ist griechischer Text: p'olin >'ektisen. Could anybody help me? Greetings from Munich, Ludwig

typing midaligned
by Peter Münster 09 May '06

09 May '06

Hello, such things are really easy and straightforward with LaTeX (parbox and minipage), but with ConTeXt I have still a lot of difficulties. This is what I do to align some typing in the middle: \starttext \input tufte \setuptyping[before=\vskip-\lineheight,after=\vskip-0.13\lineheight] \startalignment[middle] \dontleavehmode \framed[align=lohi,frame=off]{% \starttyping bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla \stoptyping } \stopalignment \input tufte \stoptext The result is correct, but can't this be done much easier? Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

Dear expertise, I have the following: \definepapersize[thesis][width=169mm, height=239mm] \setuppapersize[thesis][A4] \setuplayout [location=middle, marking=on] \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided, location=marginedge, state=stop] \starttext % Title page \startMPpage % Some metafun \stopMPpage % Some text \stoptext The resulting pdf has a smaller first page (thesis size) while the rest are A4 with the thesis pages place centrally. I would like to see the title page placed on an A4 sheet as well. What am I doing wrong?

problem using \usepackage{m-metapo}
by Luis A Escobar 09 May '06

09 May '06

I do not know if it is proper to post this question to this list but a miktex-user suggested to send it to you because there were not suggestioned solutions on that list. My apologies if I am sending this to the wrong list. This is the problem I am new to MiKTeX and I am have not been able to solve a problem that arises when I try to use the m-metapo package. Here is a simple example \documentclass{article} \usepackage{m-metapo} \begin{document} Why this error? \end{document} This is the error I get (C:\MiKTeX\Main\tex\context\base\supp-mis.tex loading : Context Support Macros / Miscellaneous (2004.10.26) ) loading : Context Support Macros / MetaPost Inclusion ! Undefined control sequence. \startMPinclusions ->\dosingleempty \dostartMPinclusions l.245 \startMPinclusions \stopMPinclusions ? The relevant part of the log says \MPextensions=\toks18 ! Undefined control sequence. \startMPinclusions ->\dosingleempty \dostartMPinclusions l.245 \startMPinclusions \stopMPinclusions ? r OK, entering \nonstopmode... ! Use of \dostartMPinclusions doesn't match its definition. l.245 \startMPinclusions \stopMPinclusions If you say, e.g., `\def\a1{...}', then you must always put `1' after `\a', since control sequence names are made up of letters only. The macro here has not been followed by the required stuff, so I'm ignoring it. I have wasted hours on this stupid thing. I would greatly a hint to solve this. I have a large number of metapost graphs that I used through the m-metapo package Thank you for any help Luis A. Escobar Louisiana State University
