Updated My Way on math alignment
by Aditya Mahajan 05 Aug '06

05 Aug '06

Hi, I have updated myway on using alignment. It now also explains features of matrix (similar to array of latex), cases, substack and intertext. Most of the discussion on mathalignment (similar to align and gather environments of latex) is the same as before. http://dl.contextgarden.net/myway/mathalign.pdf source http://dl.contextgarden.net/myway/mathalign.tex Taco, I am also describing how to use style=... feature of matrix that you sent a while back, hoping that it will make to the core :-) Aditya

\in
by Renaud AUBIN 05 Aug '06

05 Aug '06

Hi all, Is that possible to setup the \in command to obtain: - \in[fig:fig_ref] returns figure 1.1 - \in[eq:eq_ref] returns (1.1) _ \in[sec:sec_ref] returns section 2.1 Up to now I have used: - \in{figure}[fig:fig_ref] - \in{(}{)}[eq_eq_ref] (but there is an extra h space just after "(" ) - \in{section}[sec_sec_ref] Moreover, how could I set the face of the output ? Cheers, Renaud

Re: [NTG-context] index (again)

Hi, today evening is the deadline and I need to know a solution to the following request. If there is *NO* solution possible in ConTeXt please tell me today (!) so I can think of a complete different workaround. Thank you. Steffen When I set my document with the settings (see deeptextcommand) below then a entry looks like this: Ministererlaubnis 12, 15, 16, 17, 18, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 37, 38, 39, 75, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 159, 222, 222, 222, 227, 228, 228, 228, 228, 229, 231, 232, 233, 234, 235, 236, 238, 239, 248, 260, 261, 265, 277, 278, 279, 280, 282, 283, 286, 289, 304, 311, 318, 323, 324, 328, 330, 333, 335, 339, 343 That makes sense when using the resulting PDF as a interactive document. But I need the resulting PDF for printing only - so now interactive "jump to page and index mark" is wanted. What I want instead is a more readable version of my index entries like the following: Ministererlaubnis 12, 15-18, 29-35, 37-39, 75, 82-87, 159, 222, 227-229, 231, 232-236, 238-239, 248, 260-261, 265, 277-280, 282-283, 286, 289, 304, 311, 318, 323-324, 328, 330, 333, 335, 339, 343 You see? For example 222 doesn't show up 3 times but 1 time only. And it's not 37, 38, 39 but 37-39, for example. This is what I need, and what I need help for.

New bib module release
by Taco Hoekwater 04 Aug '06

04 Aug '06

Hi all, I have just uploaded a new version of the bib module to http://modules.contextgarden.net/bib It should become automatically included in the next ConTeXt release, as always. New features: * Added support for configuration of \completepublicationlist, using \setuppublicationlist[title=\chapter] * The module now uses the expansion of \headtext{pubs}, so that PDF bookmarks should come out alright. * A hook is added for support of repeated author suppression in the publication list: \setuppublicationlist[artauthorcommand=\threeargs] (see the manual for a bit more information) * The bracketed arguments of \artauthor, \author and \editor (bbl commands) are now optional. * Minor updates to the documentation Happy TeXing, Taco

\startMPenvironment : personal font weirdness
by David Wooten 04 Aug '06

04 Aug '06

Greetings all, I've been experimenting with MetaPost/Fun of late. It is indeed fun. In trying to have a uniform font in both text and MP areas, however, I am running into some difficulty. With a little file like this: --- \setupcolors[state=start] \setuppagenumbering[state=stop] \startMPenvironment [global] \usetypescript[palatino][ec] \switchtobodyfont[palatino,12pt] \stopMPenvironment \starttext The following example should be very interesting: \blank \startuseMPgraphic{very-interesting} z40 = (2cm,0cm) ; z41 = (3cm,0cm) ; z42 = (3cm,1cm) ; z43 = (2cm,1cm) ; z46 = (2.5cm,.5cm) ; path F ; F := (z40--z41--z42--z43--cycle) ; linejoin := mitered ; drawpath F ; label("very", z46) ; \stopuseMPgraphic \useMPgraphic{very-interesting} \stoptext --- everything works very nicely (fonts identical). When I use my own typescript file, however: --- \startMPenvironment [global] \usetypescriptfile[minionpro-diss] \usetypescript[Minion] \switchtobodyfont[Minion,12pt] \stopMPenvironment --- The text appears in the correct font, but the MP section, _while at first showing the correct font_, then changes to CM before my eyes. (my pdf viewer auto-updates). Any clues? Many thanks, David

Thank you for your help! But where are such things documented? I tried to access 'http://texshow.contextgarden.net/' some times the last days. I saw the left frame and the topics home and help are functioning, but all the other stuff gave me an error. Is this me alone? Wolfgang

Conflict with chapter definition and header
by Confused Scientist 04 Aug '06

04 Aug '06

Hello, I'm trying to put together a couple of examples I found in the ConTeXt manual, the wiki and the maling list archive. Unfortunately, I've broken my headers/footers in the process. What I am trying to do is have a double-sided layout where (at the beginning of each chapter) a famous quote is given on the left page and the chapter begins on the right. I do not want any header/footer on the left, but I would like the footer (page number) on the right. My problem is that I cannot seem to control the page headers and footers for the left/right chapter page. Also, I cannot seem to get the section name to reliably appear after using setupheadertexts? I am using: TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texexec : TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texutil : TeXUtil 9.0.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2004 tex : pdfeTeX, 3.141592-1.30.4-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.5) context : ver: 2006.02.03 21:03 cont-en : ver: 2006.02.03 21:03 fmt: 2006.2.10 mes: english cont-nl : ver: 2006.02.03 21:03 fmt: 2006.2.10 mes: dutch total run time : 9 seconds and below is an example of what I have.

"e" sends error to bbedit

All, I have an error here: \setupcolors[state=start] \startuniqueMPgraphic{demo circle} path p; p:=fullcircle xscaled \overlaywidth yscaled \overlayheight; fill p with color .85whwite; draw p withpen pencircle scaled 2pt withcolor .625red; \stopuniqueMPgraphic \defineoverlay[demo circle][\uniqueMPgraphic{demo circle}] \starttext \input tufte \framed[background=demo circle]{This text is overlayed.} \input tufte \stoptext When I press "e" at the question prompt when the compiles stop, vi opens the file overlay-mpgraph.mp and deposits me at the end of this file. What I'd rather have is to be taken to the line in overlay.tex in bbedit. I tried this in my .bash_profile: export TEXEDIT="bbedit +%d %s" To no avail. Any other Mac users on this list have bbedit set up correctly?

I vaguely recall > that I had removed all of the 'smart' stuff from the batch > file to please command.com, making it much less functional, > but perhaps that is more an indication of how well I know > command.com ;-) As I remember, most, if not all of the smart stuff mentioned has to do with automatic recognition of the install-directory. All this smartness is nice, if things work. In the other cases smartness is a jungle and it would be easier to check a dumb but simple list of set commands. These batch-files for example are not smart enough to recognize if they are running under the right command- prozessor and a normal windows 98 user might be very helpless what had gone wrong. But the settings in scite had to be altered too. Wolfgang

Specify the part/chapter number
by Confused Scientist 03 Aug '06

03 Aug '06

Hello, I'm working on a project with a few other people and we are each responsible for writing a single chapter/component of a larger document. I am, for example, responsible for chapters 2 and 6. Unfortunately, when I run pdftex on my component, the chapter number always begins from 1 which means all my sections, equations, figures, and tables are all numbered as 1.x.x.x. Is there a way to force a component to use a different chapter number? Thanks, James
