Separate PDF files
by Paul Jones 20 Sep '06

20 Sep '06

Is there a way to have texexec output separate pdf files for each page it generates instead of a single pdf file? I have looked through all of the post-processing commands but can not figure out how to do it from that. Thank you, paul

interlinearization - typesetting glosses
by M.guravage 20 Sep '06

20 Sep '06

Hello all, Has anyone used ConTeXt to perform interlinearization? I need to typeset glosses similar in appearance to those produced by LaTeX's gb4e.sty <http://www.essex.ac.uk/linguistics/clmt/latex4ling/gb4e>. For example, from the gb4e manual: \begin{exe} \ex \gll Wenn jemand in die W\"uste zieht ... \\ If someone in the desert draws and lives ... \\ \trans `if one retreats to the desert and ... ' \end{exe} is rendered: Wenn jemand in die Wuste zieht und lebt dort von if someone in the desert draws and lives there from Heuschrecken oder sich im Wald virirrt hat und nahrt grasshoppers or self in the woods errored has and nourisches sich van Wurzeln und Beeren, ... self from roots and berries, ... `if one retreats to the desert and lives there from grasshoppers or gets lost in the woods and lives off of roots and berries.' Any help would be greatly appreciated. With kind regards, Michael

shortsetup and environment (resent from dev-context)
by Vit Zyka 19 Sep '06

19 Sep '06

Hi Hans and others, I have tried to find the solution of the problem described by minimal example bellow without success. (Parsing XML database cont-en.xml, every 'cd:command' with 'type=environment' have to be defined with 'start' prefix. As far as I could check it is done OK. But \start.... commands are not known for \shortsetups.) It is needed for Beginners' manual. Please can you have a look at it? Thanks Vit -------- Original Message -------- Subject: shortsetup and environment Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2006 01:08:03 +0200 From: Vit Zyka <vit.zyka(a)seznam.cz> To: dev-context(a)ntg.nl Dear Hans, it seems to me that \shortsetup ignores cd:command with type="environment". Please see the next example: ----------------------------------------------------- \usemodule[set-11] \loadsetups \starttext page (OK): \shortsetup{page} startframedtext (NOTHING): \shortsetup{startframedtext} framedtext (NOTHING): \shortsetup{framedtext} \stoptext ------------------------------------------------------ Vit -- ======================================================= Ing.

Help with mswincontext installation
by Marcus Vinicius Mesquita de So 18 Sep '06

18 Sep '06

After upgrading MikTeX, ConTeXt is working no more. Since I'm not using LaTeX anymore (ConTeXt rules !!! ) I decided to use only the mswincontext package. After downloading it, I followed the intructions in http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Windows_Installation#Installation_Instructions but I could not compile the example (demo-tex.tex) In the SciTe windows I receive the following log : Exec | using randomseed 1152 TeXExec | tex engine: pdftex TeXExec | tex format: cont-en TeXExec | progname: context warning: Could not open char translation file `natural.tcx'.

Install New Chinese Fonts on ConTeXt using UTF8
by Zhichu Chen 18 Sep '06

18 Sep '06

Hello everybody, Time to disturb you again. :) I've search the maillist and the internet to find a solution, but all are about htsong.ttf, htfs.ttf, etc. In fact, I don't think these fonts are nice. I download some other beautiful free fonts and use Hans' ``ttf2uni.rb'' to create the tfm files, enc files, map file and afm file, then I modified the ``font-chi.tex'' file, replacing all UTF relating fontsynonyms and map files to what I've generated. Doesn't work any way. Whenever ConTeXt met Chinese characters, it gave an error message like: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ! Font \unicodefont=cwmu0-49 at 10.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not foun d. <recently read> \bodyfontsize \unicodeglyph ... \currentfontscale \bodyfontsize \unicodestrut \unicodefont... \insertchineseglyph ... \else \insertunicodeglyph \fi \horizontalchineseunicodeglyph ...ertchineseglyph \ifcase \chineseAstatus \r... \handlechineseunicodeglyph ...chineseunicodeglyph \fi \fi \uchar ...+\unicodetwo \relax \handleunicodeglyph \endgroup ... l.11 ä½ å ¥½ï¼ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- but in font-chi.tex, I write ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \definefontsynonym [ChineseRegular] [cwmu][encoding=cjk-uni] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- why context looked for cwmu0-49 rather than cwmu49? I have configured LaTeX with CJK package to use this font, can ConTeXt use LaTeX's configuration?

CM Super HF Bright -- encoding?
by Michal Kvasnicka 18 Sep '06

18 Sep '06

Good evening. I wish to typeset a document using Computer Modern Sans Bright font. There is HFBright package, and CM-Super package. The first one doesn't include all letters used in the Czech Typography, while the other does. So I'd like to use it. Now, what of encodings supported by the package should I use? I tried: \mainlanguage[cz] \enableregime[il2] \loadmapfile[cm-super-t1.map] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [ebmr10][encoding=cm-super-t1] but all accented letters were spoiled. I've got the same result when I tried to substitute "cm-super-t1" with "ec", "ec-lm", and "t1". What mapfile and what encoding should I use? Your thankful Michal Kvasnicka

Greek hyphenation problem

I have not been able to get Greek hyphenation to work. To make sure that my set up was right (?), I ran texfmstart ctxtools --pat and put the pattern files in /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/ context/patterns The log file shows CtxTools | processing language agr CtxTools | CtxTools | using file /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/ base/enco-acc.tex CtxTools | preloading accent conversions CtxTools | preloading agr character mappings CtxTools | accepting vector agr CtxTools | file grahyph4.tex is not present CtxTools | file oldgrhyph.tex is not present CtxTools | CtxTools | 0 changes in patterns and exceptions CtxTools | description found for language agr CtxTools | patterns saved in file lang-agr.pat I then ran sudo texmfstart texexec --make --all and cont-en.log shows (/Users/acbowen/Library/texmf/tex/context/enco-agr.tex) encoding : coding agr is loaded then loading : Context Language Macros / Generic Patterns language : patterns for agr not loaded then ) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/base/lang-grk.tex loading : Greek Language language : patterns for gr not loaded language : patterns for agr not loaded ) then language : patterns agr for agr loaded (n=25,e=agr,m=agr) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/patterns/lang-agr.pat) language : hyphenations agr for agr loaded (n=25,e=agr,m=agr) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/patterns/lang-agr.hyp) The test file is: \usemodule[ancientgreek] [font=GreekGentiumAlt,altfont=GreekOxoniensis,altscale=1.03] \setupfontsynonym[GreekGentium] \setupfontsynonym[GreekGentiumAlt] \setupfontsynonym[GreekOxoniensis] \def\grk{\localgreek} \def\altgrk{\localaltgreek} \starttext \hyphenatedword{transformational} \startgreek \hyphenatedword{filosofo'umena} filosofo'umena filosofo'umena filosofo'umena filosofo'umena filosofo'umena filosofo'umena filosofo'umena filosofo'umena filosofo'umena filosofo'umena filosofo'umena filosofo'umena filosofo'umena filosofo'umena filosofo'umena filosofo'umena filosofo'umena \stopgreek \stoptext and the log file has ConTeXt ver: 2006.09.13 23:47 MK II fmt: 2006.9.13 int: english/ english and language : patterns nl->texnansi:texnansi->1->2:3 nl->ec:ec- >2->2:3 fr-> texnansi:texnansi->3->2:3 fr->ec:ec->4->2:3 de->texnansi:texnansi->5- >2:3 de->e c:ec->6->2:3 it->texnansi:texnansi->7->2:3 it->ec:ec->8->2:3 pt- >texnansi:texna nsi->9->2:3 pt->ec:ec->10->2:3 hr->ec:ec->11->2:3 pl->pl0:pl0->12- >2:3 pl->ec:e c->13->2:3 pl->qx:qx->14->2:3 cz->il2:il2->15->2:3 cz->ec:ec->16- >2:3 sk->il2:i l2->17->2:3 sk->ec:ec->18->2:3 sl->ec:ec->19->2:3 ru->t2a:t2a->21- >2:3 en->ec:e c->22->2:3 uk->ec:ec->23->2:3 us->ec:ec->24->2:3 agr->agr:agr->25- >2:3 da->ec:e c->26->2:3 sv->ec:ec->27->2:3 af->ec:ec->28->2:3 no->ec:ec->29->2:3 deo->ec:ec- >30->2:3 es->ec:ec->31->2:3 ca->ec:ec->32->2:3 la->ec:ec->33->2:3 ro- >ec:ec->34 ->2:3 tr->ec:ec->35->2:3 fi->ec:ec->37->2:3 hu->ec:ec->38->2:3 loaded Yet, the output lacks Greek hyphenation—the English hyphenation is fine—and there are several overfull \hbox warnings. What have I overlooked? Alan

Re: [NTG-context] Bibmodule and sectionblocks

Thank you very much, Thomas. Yes, it also works perfectly for me now. I also had this problem for a while but only got to looking at it seriously yesterday. I was thinking in the direction of criterium=all but I was looking at the setuppublications command where it has a different meaning. By reading closely the manual again I see that there is some hint to your solution. The behaviour is a bit strange, though. Peter Thomas A.

Bib module and sectionblocks
by Peter Fisker Skjoldan 18 Sep '06

18 Sep '06

Using the t-bib module I can't get the numbered cite option to work with the sectionblocks \startfrontmatter and the like. When I put the publication list inside one of the blocks I get the number only inside that block. In the other blocks the result is [ ]. If I put the publication list outside of any blocks the number appears only in the bodymatter sectionblock. Is this correct behaviour? And how can I fix the problem? Thanks in advance, Peter Here is a sample file: %--------------------------------- \usemodule[bib] \setuppublications[alternative=num,refcommand=num] \setuppublicationlist[criterium=all] \startpublication[k=rayl96, t=book, a={{Rayleigh}}, y=1896, n=45, s=Ray96] \author[]{Lord}[Lord]{}{Rayleigh} \pubyear{1896} \title{Theory of Sound} \pubname{Macmillan} \stoppublication \starttext \startfrontmatter \subject{Front matter} An early book on acoustics \cite[rayl96]. % no number \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \subject{Body matter} An early book on acoustics \cite[rayl96]. % number as expected \stopbodymatter \startappendices \subject{Appendices} An early book on acoustics \cite[rayl96]. % no number \stopappendices \subject{References} \placepublications \stoptext %---------------------------------
