extra white in framedtext
by Hans van der Meer 16 Jun '06

16 Jun '06

I did want to typeset material within framedtext with some white before and after each line. Appropriate for this seems to me: \null\quad material \quad\null\crlf etc.; the preceding \null preventing disappearence of the first \quad. The strange thing is that the \null in the first line induces an extra vertical whitespace between the top of the frame and the first line inside the frame. An impression of the result: ----------------------- | | with \null in first line | first line | | second line | ----------------------- ----------------------- | first line | without \null in first line | second line | ----------------------- It seems counterintuitive to withhold the \null in the first line in order to have the framing correct. A minimal example on which I encountered this follows: \setupbodyfont[cmr] % gives extra vertical white \startframedtext[middle][width=fit] \null\quad\type{extra vertical space}\quad\null\crlf \null\quad\type{normal vertical space}\quad\null \stopframedtext % normal vertical white \startframedtext[middle][width=fit] \quad\type{normal vertical space}\quad\null\crlf \null\quad\type{normal vertical space}\quad\null \stopframedtext \stoptext Does this occur elsewhere too? Is it normal behaviour of framedtext? Hans van der Meer

CoNTeXt on Mac OS X with iinstaller still broken
by Matthias Weber 15 Jun '06

15 Jun '06

Dear Mac-ConTeXt users (and other experts), I typically upgrade my least used Mac (my laptop) to the newest ConTeXt release first, and only go ahead with the desktop when my projects compile fine. Otherwise, I usually wait until the more proficient users have sorted things out. Now, for a while, the iinstaller ConTeXt version has been broken. While there have been numerous reports and workaround and fixes on this list, it would be most convenient to have iinstaller working again (or another foolproof solution). For reference, I attach the log file for \starttext ffi \stoptext which shows that ligatures aren't shown. Thanks in advance!

Re: [NTG-context] metafun color broken?
by Hans van der Meer 15 Jun '06

15 Jun '06

After posting this problem I did probe a lot further in this and a similar problem. As I reported shortly, the problem goes away when solely replacing in supp-mps.tex the line \ifx\TEXEXECcommand \undefined \def\TEXEXECcommand{texmfstart texexec} \fi by \ifx\TEXEXECcommand \undefined \def\TEXEXECcommand{texexec} \fi This gives me the impression it might not be in context itself, especially since to my (inexperienced) eye there are no or few changes between the working and nonworking versions that might explain the problem. It might be the change from the perl to the ruby scripts with a problem in one of the latter. I expect Hans or Taco to react soon with there usual speed and will await for their comments first.

mathsize
by Hans van der Meer 15 Jun '06

15 Jun '06

When doing inline math I see that the mathsize does adapt when \tfa, \tfb, etc are used, but not for \tfx and \tfxx. That seems strange to me, because in the manual in the font table \tfx \tfxx \tfa etc. are advertised as equivalent operations. It also accounts for a lot more typing (and mistakes). Why is the behaviour different? And if it is not on purpose, can it be remedied then? A minimal example: \starttext {\tfc tfc 123 and \$ tfc: $123$ \$}\crlf {\tfb tfb 123 and \$ tfb: $123$ \$}\crlf {\tfa tfa 123 and \$ tfa: $123$ \$}\crlf {normal 123 en \$ normal: $123$ \$}\crlf {\tfx tfx 123 and \$ not tfx: $123$ \$}\crlf % math does not adapt size {\tfx tfx 123 and \$ again tfx: $\tfx 123$ \$}\crlf {\tfxx tfxx 123 and \$ not tfxx: $123$ \$}\crlf % math does not adapt size {\tfxx tfxx 123 and \$ again tfxx: $123$ \$}\crlf % the next does work as expected: \def\smallsize{\switchtobodyfont[9pt]} {\smallsize smallsize 123 and \$ smallsize: $123$ \$}\crlf Hans van der Meer

Math: Matrix question

Hello, maybe someone has an idea how to typeset the following c d a [E F] b [G H] Where EFGH is a matrix surrounded by "( )" and with "a b c d" I want to label the columns and rows. I especially struggle with aligning c and d and having the parenteses. Any ideas are highly welcome. Tobias

Specifying maximum width of a frame
by Aditya Mahajan 15 Jun '06

15 Jun '06

Hi, I want to specify the maximum width of a frame. If the size of the box is smaller than the maximum width, I want a tight box. Something like \frame[maxwidth=5cm,align=middle]{Small} should give +-----+ |small| +-----+ while \frame[maxwidth=5cm,align=middle]{A very very long line that is split at 5cm} should give +----------------------+ | A very very long | | line that is split | | at 5cm | +----------------------+ Is there something builtin that does this, or do I need to play with scratchbox cum suis.

Another 2 index bugs
by Richard Gabriel 15 Jun '06

15 Jun '06

Hello Hans, I've just noticed another two bugs in index sorting. 1. Numbers are sorted under A 2. Symbols are sorted under the first letter which follows. See the attached test file. Both these issues are independent on language and on the expansion type. Proposed solution: 1. Sort numbers into separate divisions 2. Sort symbols to a special division called "Symbols" Thanks, Richard

keeping output
by Hans van der Meer 15 Jun '06

15 Jun '06

This question must have been asked before, but I cannot find it. Running texexec a number of messages flash by: error in metapost run : syllabus-s-mpgraph.mp:397 Alas, al the intermediate results disappear, especially the mpgraph files. And of the metapost logs also one only survives. How does one preserve all these for debugging purposes? Hans van der Meer

textext error
by Hans van der Meer 15 Jun '06

15 Jun '06

I am afraid a serious error has been introduced into textext in the last update(s). This used to work in metapost for typesetting text with a %-sign: label(textext("66\%"), origin); Now the % somewhere ends a line prematurely because the job aborts with: ! mpx file ended unexpectedly. Can Hans please repair this, suddenly a lot of my typesetting is broken. Hans van der Meer
