centered headertexts ??
by Steffen Wolfrum 27 Jul '06

27 Jul '06

Hi, apologies, I guess this one is a pretty easy question, but after trying (almost) every combination I gave up... How do I get xxx and yyy set in the header's center?? \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided,location= {header,marginedge}] \setupheadertexts[][xxx][yyy][] \starttext \input tufte \input knuth \input tufte \input knuth \input tufte \input knuth \stoptext As always, thank you very much, Steffen

Hi, both paragraph should be indented 12 pt. But there are different: \starttext \startitemize[width=12pt] \sym{\endash}\input tufte \stopitemize \setupitemize[width=12pt] \sym{\endash}\input tufte \stoptext How do I make the second the same as the first? Steffen

core-buf.tex?
by David Arnold 27 Jul '06

27 Jul '06

All, In looking at core-buf.tex to see if I could find anything about subblocks, I came across at line 518: \def\setblocklevel#1% sign {\global\advance\blocklevel #11 \ifcase\blocklevel\doingblocksfalse\else\doingblockstrue\fi} Is that 11 correct?

gnuplot in ConTeXt
by Dalyoung Jeong 27 Jul '06

27 Jul '06

Dear all, I have installed gnuplot and others(aqua term, x11). I tested the minimal sample file in ConTeXt Wiki. In the wiki page, there is a command like \startGNUPLOTgraphics{sin} plot sin(x) \stopGNUPLOTgraphics but there is an error message like l.6 \startGNUPLOTgraphics {sin} ? x If I changed \startGNUPLOTgraphics{sin} to \startGNUPLOTgraphic{sin}, then the error is disappeared but the output showed only texts but not graph. Only a grey box is appeared. Would you please show me an example in detail? Thank you for reading. Dalyoung

Magazine layout
by Fidel Viegas 26 Jul '06

26 Jul '06

Hello folks, I am new to ConTeXt, but I am a long time LaTeX user. I wanted to create a magazine with ConTeXt, and I was wondering if anyone has examples of magazines besides the ones that are presented in the site. Also, where can I get the full source of the magazines found in the Pragma ADE site, so that I can study them properly? I would appreciate the help. Thanks in advance, Fidel.

Success and a question.
by John R. Culleton 26 Jul '06

26 Jul '06

I successfully updated to the latest cont-tem zip but it wasn't easy. Karl Berry suggested the following: cd $TMPDIR dir=`pwd` wget http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-tmf.zip cd /wherever/texmf-dist unzip -t $dir/cont-tmf.zip >/tmp/z unzip -q $dir/cont-tmf.zip rm web2c/natural.tcx mv web2c/context.cnf ../texmf/web2c # [stuff to update the repository] I did the above with embellishments. Since I have had continual trouble, even when I reloaded texlive 2005, I started with a new partition (Slackware 10.2) and a fresh texLIve installation. I followed the Berry routine. At the end I did: texhash fmtutil --all texhash (One cannot do texhash too often.) I tested this on a known file and it worked. Now I went to my production partition, wiped out the "2005" directory and copied the 2005 directory from my test partition. After the usual texhash and fmtutil bowing and scraping I now have an up-to-date context installation that seems to work OK. Now for the question: When I process a tex file with texexec I get a pdf file and a warnig message that says "warning use tekmfstart texecec instead." Well the bare texexec seems to work OK but the command; texmfstart texexec book.tex exits immediately with no output. Am I using texmfstart correctly? -- John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost. Satisfaction guaranteed. http://wexfordpress.com
