document structure
by Hans van der Meer 22 Jul '06

22 Jul '06

I have a question about document structure, because I want to structure a series of products correctly and I do not know if I understand everything in the manual about it well enough. Must I understand that "\startlocalenvironment[abc]" within an environment file means that this codeblock is used only for typesetting product/component abc and excluded automatically when another product/component is typeset? Or is it just a declaration analogous to "\startenvironment file setups \stopenvironment"? But then I don't understand why the manual does not tells me "\startlocalenvironment[abc] file setups \stoplocalenvironment" as it does for \startenvironment The macro "\localenvironment name" gives me some headaches. I might guess usage in a master setup file as: \localenvironment abc % load environment file abc.tex if typesetting product/component abc \localenvironment xyz % load environment file xyz.tex if typesetting product/component xyz How does this relate to the above question about setup-file structure?

base/tex.rb comments
by Richard Gabriel 21 Jul '06

21 Jul '06

Hello Hans and others, I'd have two comments to the texmf/scripts/context/ruby/base/tex.rb script. 1. I find quite impractical that the formats (cont-en, cont-nl etc.) are hardcoded in the scripts. When one wants to add a new format, then he must add it on 4 or 5 places in the script, and do it again and again everytime when upgrading ConTeXt. :-( 2. Maybe this is an OS and TeX distribution specific issue... I use TeXLive 2005 on Windows XP. The TeX formats are located in C:\TeXLive\texmf-var\web2c. [the "kpsewhich --show-path=fmt" command also shows this path]. When generating a format using "texmfstart texexec --make en", the generated format is placed into C:\TeXLive\texmf-var\web2c\pdfetex. Then, when trying to use the format, it is not found... This is done on line 547 of tex.rb: texformatpath = if getvariable('local') then '.' else Kpse.formatpath(texengine,true) end So I've changed it to "Kpse.formatpath(texengine,false)" and everything is fine. But I don't understand why it is set so by default and why it doesn't work for me. Does anybody experience the same problem? -Richard

quote and quotation
by Hans van der Meer 21 Jul '06

21 Jul '06

The \quote and \quotation macros surround text with quotation marks. These are made language dependent. In dutch the old way was an opening mark at the baseline and closing at the top of the letters; ConTeXt has been programmed this way. However, the lower quotation mark is less and less used in Dutch (vide Jan Renkema, Schrijfwijzer, 2002, p.382) and the English variants are now commonly used. This leads to two questions: 1. is there a setup-macro that can be used? (switching language around before quote and changing back inside is a bit awkward); \setupdelimitedtext[..][..] is not documented in the manual, is this the one to use, and how? I tried this but could not effect a change and from the code I could not deduce what to change. 2. is this a case for changing ConTeXt's default for Dutch? Hans van der Meer

placefigure
by Hans van der Meer 21 Jul '06

21 Jul '06

I found a small flaw in the placement of floats. \placefigure[left]... ended at the bottom of the page (before the footnotes), but on the next page the text began as if the figure was still there: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx flowing text xxxxx figure xxxxx flowing text xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx flowing text (some whitespace followed by footnotes) ...........................................pagebreak............ (open space) flowing text first line second line of text starts normal at the left margin Is this known behaviour? Can it perhaps be massaged with parameter settings or is ConText here taking just somewhat oversized vertical space? Hans van der Meer

Re: [NTG-context] Can't get texmfstart to work

All - I downloaded and installed ruby 1.8.4 from sunfreeware.com, and now I can at least use the texmfstart command.

Now, I try to generate a test document which I normally use to test my setup with the features I use most frequently, and everything works except including graphics. I have a set of pdf graphics which I normally modify on a per-project basis, and they go on the cover page of my documents. The document seems to be complete, and I don't see any inclusion errors in the log. But I do see some new errors about underfull/overfull which I have not seen previously, and I don't know how to interpret them.

Centring text on a page
by Jeffrey Drake 20 Jul '06

20 Jul '06

I have a title page I would like to centre some text on. I can easily do the horizontal text with: \startalignment[middle] ... \stopalignment But I can't figure out how to get it to do verticle centring. A \startlocal block modifying the layout might work, but I wonder if there is a better way. Regards, Jeffrey Drake

Russian hyphenation
by Ark Shraer 20 Jul '06

20 Jul '06

Hello to all ConTeXt users, First of all, I'm impressed of opportunities that ConTeXt provides to book and magazine designers. Especially I like designs of Hans Hagen's manuals :) I have a medium experience in LaTeX (typesetted several books with math, tables and figures), but I've no experience in ConTeXt at all. I'm a russian user and interested in support of russian and ukrainian language in ConTeXt. By the way, I already tried example from contextgarden wiki and it works for me fine. So my question is: how to enable russian (ukrainian) hyphenation in ConTeXt? I tried files from http://trash1.hotmail.ru/ but these fails to compile (in my opinion they're not compatible with modern ConTeXt, as they maybe outdated). If there is no straight way to solve russian hyphenation problem I'd like to help with it :) Thanks. WBR, Arkady Shraer

Can't get texmfstart to work
by The Wizard 20 Jul '06

20 Jul '06

All - I had not updated my install for quite some time, so I thought today might be a good time to try. I downloaded all the latest cont-*.zip files from the Pragma site, and did what I normally do to update: 1) Unzip all the new files in my texmf-local directory 2) texhash 3) texexec --make en nl mptopdf 4) texexec --make --all 5) updmap-sys 6) fmtutil-sys --refresh 7) texexec --version I see that I have installed the newest version: merlin:/home/.../TestDoc 128> 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 : pdfeTeXk, 3.141592-1.30.6-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.5) context : ver: 2006.07.14 12:08 cont-en : ver: 2006.07.14 12:08 fmt: 2006.7.19 mes: english total run time : 1 seconds warning : use 'texmfstart texexec' instead So, I decide to see if I can start using the texmfstart version as recommended. I find the "texmfstart.rb" file in the texmf-local/scripts/context/ruby/ directory, and see that the magic line doesn't work for me; on Solaris 10, the #!/usr/bin/env ruby just hangs. No problem, I can point it to my installed copy of ruby and it should work; I change the first line to #!//opt/sfw/bin/ruby and try "texmfstart texexec --version" and get an error: merlin:/home/.../TestDoc 130> texmfstart texexec --version /usr/local/teTeX/bin/i386-pc-solaris2.10/texmfstart:983: nested method definition def the_same(filter,filename) ^ /usr/local/teTeX/bin/i386-pc-solaris2.10/texmfstart:987: nested method definition def the_same(filter,filename) ^ Now, I don't know if it's a ruby error, or a problem with my system. The version of ruby installed is merlin:/home/.../TestDoc 131> ruby --version ruby 1.6.4 (2001-06-04) [i386-solaris2.10] and I am using teTex 3.0 built from source, and pdftex-1.30.6. I only normally generate PDF output in letter size, and this has worked fine for me in the old Perl version (in fact, it still works, but complains that I should use "texmfstart"). Any ideas about how I should go about fixing this? -- Mark Almeida mark.almeida(a)sun.com Solutions Architect (707)398-9524/x81132 Sun Client Solutions (707)429-0341 Home Office (707)480-5038 Cell
