Flow charts forgetting text
by Aditya Mahajan 07 Nov '07

07 Nov '07

Hi, Something is broken in flowcharts. If I typeset the same flowchart twice, the comments are missing from the second chart. For example \usemodule[chart] \setupFLOWcharts [%option=test, bodyfont=11pt, nx=4, ny=1, offset=11pt, dx=\bodyfontsize, dy=0.65\bodyfontsize, width=6\bodyfontsize, height=2.5\bodyfontsize, ] \startFLOWchart[test] \startFLOWcell \name {source} \location {1,1} \shape {procedure} \text {Source} \connection [rl] {encoder} \comment [t] {$X_t$} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \name {encoder} \location {2,1} \shape {procedure} \text {Encoder} \stopFLOWcell \stopFLOWchart \starttext \FLOWchart[test] \input knuth \FLOWchart[test] \stoptext The second flow chart does not have $X_t$. Can someone tell what is going on? Aditya

itemize a list
by Hans van der Meer 07 Nov '07

07 Nov '07

It is my intention to place a list inside an itemize, and therefore prepend a \item before every list item. Thus: \startitemize \placelist[Topic][label=no,pagenumber=no,before=\item]}% \stopitemize However this doesn't work but instead gives the following error: ! Missing } inserted. <inserted text> } <to be read again> \endgroup \stopitemgroup ...xtindentation \fi \fi \endgroup \doglobal \decrement (\ite... \Topics ...enumber=no,before=\item ]}\stopitemize \def \FirstPage {Topics} l.1 \Topics{Synopsis} ? \doendoflist ->\stoppacked \endgroup \Topics ...[label=no,pagenumber=no,before=\item ]} \stopitemize \def \FirstPa... Placing the "before=\item" in the \setuplist makes no difference. Why? How can I realize the goal: placing the list entries each as an item in an itemized list? Hans van der Meer

Re: [NTG-context] Font sizes using Chinese module
by Duncan Hothersall 07 Nov '07

Hans said: > \definefontsize[e] > > \setupfontenvironment > [default] > [e=4] > Ah, thanks. Using \setupbodyfontenvironment as the second command did the trick. I guess there is no easy way of directly calling a specific font at a specific size? No worry, this sort of solution will allow me to do what I need for now. Thanks Hans. Duncan

\blank[big]
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 07 Nov '07

Hello, Excuse me, but what 'big' stands for in \blank[big]? Every time I use it, I expect really big white space, but get only hardly noticeable one. Best regards, Vaytcheslav

Deleting temporary files with metapost
by Maurício 06 Nov '07

06 Nov '07

Hi, I'm using: texexec --purgeall my_file.tex to have temporary files deleted after processing. However, when I use metafun (using \startuseMPgraphics etc.) a single file is left, with extension '.mp.keep'. Is it possible to ask Context not to leave even that file? Thanks, Maurício
