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.

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 11 Jul '08

11 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?

broken: noligature AND hyphenation
by Steffen Wolfrum 20 Mar '07

20 Mar '07

Hi, just by chance I experienced that there seems to be a problem with ligatures and hyphenation in ConTeXt. This is the example: \usetypescript[postscript][\defaultencoding] \setupencoding[default=texnansi] \mainlanguage[de] \enableregime[mac] \setupbodyfont[postscript,10pt] \starttext Auflagen % the fl-ligature is wrong here Auf\-lagen % this is the right fl Auf\/lagen %this is the right fl 123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012 34567890 Auflagen % right hyphenation, but wrong ligature 123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012 34567890 Auf\-lagen % but this kills the other hyphenation Aufla-gen 123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012 34567890 Auf\/lagen % but this kills the other hyphenation Aufla-gen 123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012 34567890 Auf"-lagen % this is used in (La)TeX, but doesn'T work in ConTeXt?! % the next wrong causes an error (but would be perfect: 123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012 34567890 Auf"|lagen % this is used in (La)TeX, but doesn'T work in ConTeXt?! \stoptext What is needed is to ... 1) avoid the fl-ligature 2) preserve all the default hyphenation points In TeX (or only LaTeX?)

Theorems, etc with ConTeXt
by Aditya Mahajan 06 Mar '07

06 Mar '07

Hi, (This post actually belongs to dev-context, but I do not know if everyone interested in this reads dev-context, so I am posting it to this list). I have been looking at what is the best way to do theorems etc with ConTeXt. There are ways to handle most of the requirements, but some of them are not possible out of the box with ConTeXt. I have searched the archives and this questions about theorems and proofs keep on coming on and off. I want to see what is the requirements for theorems, what all is possible right now, and what needs to be done. Below I am writing my requirements of theorem. Does anyone have anything more to add? 1. They should be numbered, it should be possible to control the numbering mechanism, for example way=bysection, bychapter, etc. > Can be done using enumerations. 2. It should be possible to have two different types of theorems have the same number. For example, \definetheorem[theorem] \definetheorem[lemma][number=theorem] should follow the same number as theorems. > Is possible using enumerations 3. It should be possible to get a list of theorems. It should be possible to say which types of theorems go to the list and which do not. > Is possible using enumerations 4. The theorem should have a title. The title should be optional. > Is partially implemented 5. There should be a mechanism to do end-of-proof marks. The end-of-proof marks should also work with itemizations, and formulas. > Not implemented at all. 6. Anything more...? Requirement 4 is not completely implemented. With \defineenumeration[theorem][title=yes] I always have to give a title. Normally, while writings theorems, there are only a few theorems that have a title. The rest of them do not. Right now, I can work around this restriction, by either having two different theorems (titledtheorem and nontitledtheorem) or always adding {} at the beginning of each theorem. I want the behaviour closer to title=maybe. I do not understand why \@@startdescription contains \dowithwargument{\@@startsomedescription{#1}[#2]} I would prefer it to contain \dosinglegroupempty{\@@startsomedescription{#1}[#2]} (well this will of course not work, but I hope the idea is clear) So that I can do \defineenumeration[theorem][title=yes] \starttheorem A silly theorem not worth a title \stoptheorem as well \starttheorem {My Fancy Theorem} A fancy theorem that needs to be given a title \stoptheorem I do not think that changing this will break anything. I am not even sure why dowithwargument is there. I cannot imagine anyone writing \startthoerem Title this is a theorem \stoptheorem instead of \starttheorem {Title} this is a theorem \stoptheorem The title also needs some more attributes. Right now, only titlestyle, titlecolor and titledistance are there. To be more flexible, you would also need something like titleleft, and titleright, which should not be too difficult. The last things, that is the end of proof marker, is right now not possible in ConTeXt. There are a lot of things that need to be taken care of while having a end-of-proof marker: basically, you need to ensure that there is no page break between the proof and the marker. Also the marker needs to be moved up or down, depending on how the proof ends. At the very least, ConTeXt should have something that ensures that the end of proof marker does not go onto a page of its own. Finally, my question is: Does it make sense to include all these functionality into enumerations, or have them in a separate module? Aditya

ConTeXt ver: 2007.01.12 15:56 and including PDFs
by Alan Bowen 02 Mar '07

02 Mar '07

While running the latest ConTeXt, I get the following warning: [6.6] [7.7] ./Figure1a.pdf Error: PDF version 1.6 -- xpdf supports version 1.5 (continuing anyway) Warning: pdftex (file ./Figure1a.pdf): pdf inclusion: found pdf version <1.6>, but at most version <1.5> allowed <./Figure1a.pdf> It does not seem to have any observable impact on the typeset product however.

Yet another math symbol
by Oliver Buerschaper 24 Feb '07

24 Feb '07

Hi all, I'm struggling to typeset the math symbol "identity" ... it looks like a "1" but with double vertical lines. Hints very welcome ;-) What if we put together an extensive table of all math symbols available in ConTeXt at some point? Oliver

Problems with "mathalign"
by Mojca Miklavec 20 Feb '07

20 Feb '07

Hello, I wanted to keep Aditya busy now that he finished his wonderful new module ;), so ... I first wanted to ask how to number subformulas in a certain way, but that I figured out that numbering is already causing some problems on its own. Consider the following examples: \starttext This is almost OK, but has one formula number too much here: \startbuffer \placeformula \startformula \startalign[m=2,distance=3cm] a & =b & A & =B \\ c & =d & C & =D \\ \stopalign \stopformula \stopbuffer \typebuffer \getbuffer This results in a very weird formula numbering \startbuffer \placeformula \startformula \startalign[m=2,distance=3cm] \NC a \NC =b \NC A \NC =B \NR \NC c \NC =d \NC C \NC =D \NR \stopalign \stopformula \stopbuffer \typebuffer \getbuffer Adding [+] helps, but than we have the same problem as at the beginning: \startbuffer \placeformula \startformula \startalign[m=2,distance=3cm] \NC a \NC =b \NC A \NC =B \NR[+] \NC c \NC =d \NC C \NC =D \NR[+] \stopalign \stopformula \stopbuffer \typebuffer \getbuffer Without placeforumla, but with [+] we don't get any numbering at all: \startbuffer \startformula \startalign[m=2,distance=3cm] \NC a \NC =b \NC A \NC =B \NR[+] \NC c \NC =d \NC C \NC =D \NR[+] \stopalign \stopformula \stopbuffer \typebuffer \getbuffer \stoptext CtxTools | context version: 2006.12.27 11:34 (After running "ctxtools --update" I just managed to break everything.) Any clue? Thanks, Mojca

register fine tuning
by Steffen Wolfrum 15 Feb '07

15 Feb '07

Hi, I am not sure how a ConTeXt index register is generated and what role the tui and tuo files play. But could it be possible to manually "fine tune" the generated register? Something like from ... Keywords -- secret 35 -- popular 25, 26, 27, 88, 89 ... to ... Keywords see also Commands -- secret 35 -- popular 25-27, 88-89 ... just by typing the changes in one of those helper files? Steffen
