Overfull boxes using m-cweb
by Edwin Wisse 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

Hello, I am running into overfull boxes when including a weaved cweb file into a context document. The original reference to the cwebmac.tex file (the plain TeX macro) is commented out and replaced by \usemodule[cweb]. The cweb macros appear to expand something into \*11ptmmmt* which seems to have something to do with it. Is there anyone here with experience and deep (Con)TeX(t) knowledge who understands what is happening? Regards, Edwin ----------------------------------part of my log file------------------------------------------------ Overfull \hbox (6.4885pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 3--13 \*11ptmmmr* for the ap-pli-ca-tion de-vel-op-ment mod-ule. This is a small ap-p li-ca-tion which loads file \hbox(7.63889+2.13889)x398.33858 .\*11ptmmmr* f .\*11ptmmmr* o .\*11ptmmmr* r .\glue(\spaceskip) 3.66628 .\*11ptmmmr* t .etc. Overfull \hbox (8.38132pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 3--13 \*11ptmmmr* with point and line da-ta and dis-plays it in a win-dow.

compound titles, lists and headers
by Henning Hraban Ramm 26 Sep '10

26 Sep '10

Dear list, my publisher forces me to set different things as titles, in headers and table of contents. In some cases \nolist and \nomarking aren't enough. here are my actual definitions: ---- \def\Untertitel#1{\blank[3pt]{\ss\bf #1}\blank} % ok \def\Titel#1#2{{\nohyphens\chapter{#1}\Untertitel{#2}}} % ok \def\KomplexTitel#1#2#3{{\writetolist[chapter]{#3}\nohyphens\title{#1}\U ntertitel{#2}}} ---- with ---- \start \setupheadertexts[][manual entry][part][] % normally defined as [][chapter][part][] \KomplexTitel{Main chapter title}{chapter subtitle}{toc entry} Much text \stop % of other headertext ---- Real life example: \start \setupheadertexts [][Vorwort][][] \KomplexTitel{Die neutrale Schweiz und das globale Dorf}% {Vorwort von Prof.|~|Dr.|~|Heinrich Ott}% {Vorwort Prof.|~|Dr.|~|Heinrich Ott:\\Die neutrale Schweiz und das globale Dorf} ... Now there stay two issues: 1. I'd like to get a four-parameter command that can set the header text also. 2. I must get a line feed into the toc, but neither \\ nor \crlf works. Please help! Thanks.

listings.sty
by Peter Münster 12 Jul '08

12 Jul '08

Hello, I suggested to the author of the very feature rich LaTeX-Listings package, Carsten Heinz, to port this package to ConTeXt, and it seems, that he is interested. But before doing it, there are some questions: * What do Hans and other people thing about that? * listings.sty uses keyval.sty, how is the proper ConTeXt-way to do the same things as keyval, or should listings stay with keyval? Greetings, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/ _____________________________________ FilmSearch engine: http://f-s.sf.net/

How to use the wiki?
by nico 05 Oct '06

05 Oct '06

Hello, Sorry for that stupid question, but what it the process to add something to the wiki? I can edit existing page, but in which topic or page one can add something? Is an account required? Is there a list of the pages added by the users? The wiki itself doesn't seem to have many information about this. Thanks, BG

\bar missing in euler
by Aditya Mahajan 15 Sep '06

15 Sep '06

Hi, %----------------------------------------------------- \usetypescript[palatino] [ec] \definetypeface [palatino] [mm] [math] [euler] [euler] [rscale=1.03] \setupbodyfont[palatino,11pt] \starttext $\bar a$ \stoptext %------------------------------------------------------------ gives just "a". I do not get any bar over "a". math-eul.tex says %D This used to be very hackish; it brought in text %D accents from the well-matched Bitstream Charter. %D But now, these characters don't exist. I would prefer to pull %D them from the text font, but I don't know how. %D Instead, I'm just pointing to null characters! :-( This is how eulervm.sty defines these characters for T1 encoding. \DeclareMathAccent{\acute}{\mathalpha}{operators}{1} \DeclareMathAccent{\grave}{\mathalpha}{operators}{0} \DeclareMathAccent{\ddot}{\mathalpha}{operators}{4} \DeclareMathAccent{\tilde}{\mathalpha}{operators}{3} \DeclareMathAccent{\bar}{\mathalpha}{operators}{9} \DeclareMathAccent{\breve}{\mathalpha}{operators}{8} \DeclareMathAccent{\check}{\mathalpha}{operators}{7} \DeclareMathAccent{\hat}{\mathalpha}{operators}{2} \DeclareMathAccent{\dot}{\mathalpha}{operators}{10} I do not know what is the equivalent of 'operators' family in context. Any idea how to pull them out of the text fonts? Aditya

texmfstart newbie
by David Arnold 01 Sep '06

01 Sep '06

OK, I've updated to the latest context via Gerben's i-installer on my mac osx 10.4.6. I have no idea what texmfstart is nor do I understand its purpose. I imagine the first thing I have to do is configure, because it is certainly not found on my system. tmp $ which texmfstart tmp $ texmfstart -bash: texmfstart: command not found Here is my path: tmp $ echo $PATH /sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/ local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current:/opt/local/bin:/usr/ local/mysql/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin For example: tmp $ texexec --version TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texexec : TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texutil : TeXUtil 9.0.1 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2006 tex : pdfeTeX, 3.141592-1.30.4-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.5) context : ver: 2006.06.23 20:39 cont-en : ver: 2006.06.23 20:39 fmt: 2006.6.27 mes: english cont-nl : ver: 2006.06.23 20:39 fmt: 2006.6.27 mes: dutch total run time : 3 seconds warning : use 'texmfstart texexec' instead tmp $ which texexec /usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current/texexec Which appears to be some sort of shell script. tmp $ cat /usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current/texexec #!/bin/sh test -f /bin/sh5 && test -z "$RUNNING_SH5" \ && { UNAMES=`uname -s`; test "x$UNAMES" = xULTRIX; } 2>/dev/null \ && { RUNNING_SH5=true; export RUNNING_SH5; exec /bin/sh5 $0 ${1 +"$@"}; } unset RUNNING_SH5 test -f /bin/bsh && test -z "$RUNNING_BSH" \ && { UNAMES=`uname -s`; test "x$UNAMES" = xAIX; } 2>/dev/null \ && { RUNNING_BSH=true; export RUNNING_BSH; exec /bin/bsh $0 ${1 +"$@"}; } unset RUNNING_BSH export PATH # hack around a bug in zsh: test -n "${ZSH_VERSION+set}" && alias -g '${1+"$@"}'='"$@"' what=`echo $0 | sed 's@.*/@@'` p=`kpsewhich -format=texmfscripts $what.pl` { test -n "$p" && test -f "$p"; } \ || { echo "\`$what.pl' not found."; exit 1; } perl "$p" ${1+"$@"} Ruby is installed: tmp $ which ruby /usr/bin/ruby tmp $ ruby --version ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [powerpc-darwin8.0] And here is the location of texmfstart: /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/scripts/context/ruby/texmfstart.rb /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/scripts/context/stubs/lib/texmfstart /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/scripts/context/stubs/lib/ texmfstart/base /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/scripts/context/stubs/lib/ texmfstart/base/kpse Now for questions: 1. How do I configure my system to use texmstart? 2. What are some of the usual uses I should be employing of texmfstart? How will it improve performance? How will it simplify my work? Etc? I.e what are the advantages?

buffers
by Hans van der Meer 08 Aug '06

08 Aug '06

The ConTeXt manual tells me on page 237: You can define your own buffer with: \definebuffer[...] ... name After this command /getbuffer and \typebuffer are available where buffer is the name of the buffer. I do: \definebuffer[left] \startbuffer[left] left\crlf \stopbuffer \typeleft and it gives me the error: ! Undefined control sequence. \typeleft ->\dodotypebuffer [left][def-3] l.92 \typeleft then I try: \typebuffer[left] this gives a typeset message [file examdoc-def-2.tmp does not exist] (file examdoc.tex being the containing tex file) when I try \getbuffer[left] or \getleft nothing at all seems to happen? Why doesn't it work according to the manual? Or do I misunderstand the manual completely? Hans van der Meer
