where is my installer? :)
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 23 Nov '07

Hello, Sorry for the question, but where people can find my installer? I've uploaded it to svn, but cannot find it at http://minimals.contextgarden.net/ and have no idea where it also might appear. If no one can find it, it is useless, isn't it? ;) Best regards, Vyatcheslav

combination with an additional line centered in a placefigure?
by Peter Schorsch 23 Nov '07

23 Nov '07

Hi, as soon I enter the cbox-line the combination is not longer centered. I tried to embed the combination in a cbox, but that had no effect. Has anyone a hint how to center the combination successfullly? \starttext \placefigure [force][fig:xy] {captiontext} {\startcombination[2*1] {\externalfigure[xxx][]}{} {\externalfigure[yyy][]}{} \stopcombination \cbox{\tfx Quelle: XY} } \stoptext Thanks, P.

referencing footnotes in another place
by Andrea Valle 23 Nov '07

23 Nov '07

Hi to all, the only thing I don't like in -TeX packages approach while writing is that I have to attach the footnotes to their indices. ConTeXt is so clever. Isn't there a way to store the footnotes in another place of the file (or in another file, that's the same) and referring to the in the text. When I have many footnotes in the source I get crazy to follow the body text. I mean, with an exemplum fictum This is my footnote\fn{myfn}, even if it's just my imagination so that there's a way to a have myfn = just a note Maybe with buffers? I'm an ignorant on the matter Thanks -a- -------------------------------------------------- Andrea Valle -------------------------------------------------- CIRMA - DAMS Università degli Studi di Torino --> http://www.cirma.unito.it/andrea/ --> andrea.valle(a)unito.it -------------------------------------------------- I did this interview where I just mentioned that I read Foucault.

updatecontext woes
by Joel C. Salomon 22 Nov '07

22 Nov '07

I just tried running ctxtools --updatecontext on my minimal installation. It successfully downloads & extracts cont-tmf.zip, mktexlsr remakes all formats, then LuaTools and MtxRun start doing some configuration magic: LuaTools | old script C:/Users/chesky/Programs/context/tex/texmf-mswin/bin/luatools.lua LuaTools | new script C:/Users/chesky/Programs/context/tex/texmf-local/scripts/context/lua/luatools.lua LuaTools | old script content replaced by new content LuaTools | LuaTools | runtime: 1.627 seconds MtxRun | old script C:/Users/chesky/Programs/context/tex/texmf-mswin/bin/mtxrun.lua MtxRun | new script C:/Users/chesky/Programs/context/tex/texmf-local/scripts/context/lua/mtxrun.lua MtxRun | old script content replaced by new content LuaTools | loading C:/Users/chesky/Programs/context/tex/texmf-local/web2c/texmf.cnf LuaTools | loading C:/Users/chesky/Programs/context/tex/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf LuaTools | preparing configuration in C:/Users/chesky/AppData/Local/Temp/luatex-cache/context/b208f38697f78de9cef2c42fc3caa621/trees/d885c87af9510561ed13a9578d2d9af5.tma ...

--updatecontext (downgrade)
by Steffen Wolfrum 22 Nov '07

22 Nov '07

Hi, I really enjoy writing sudo ctxtools --updatecontext in my Mac-terminal and without any hassle getting a clean updated ConTeXt! But what if I want to install an older version (either from ConTeXt- museum or a local repository). Is there a path option that I can add to the command above? Steffen

Fwd: [XeTeX] Redefining the footnotes in XeTeX
by Steffen Wolfrum 21 Nov '07

21 Nov '07

BTW: are the benefit's of David's work also available for ConTeXters? (While writing this I guess it is probably planned for luatex, thus reliably usable from 2010 on, right?)

[OT] \internalfigure
by luigi scarso 21 Nov '07

21 Nov '07

We all know that exists \externalfigure[...][...] Now, suppose I'm able to make a buffer with raw data, something like \Raw{<89>PNG^M ^Z ^@^@^@^MIHDR^@^@^@ ^@^@^@ ^H^B^@^@^@^BPXê^@^@^@^AsRGB^@(R)Î^\é^@^@^@ pHYs^@^@^K^S^@^@^K^S^A^@<9a><9c>^X^@^@^@^GtIME^G×^K^T^V^W ^O°<94>^^^@^@^@^YtEXtComment^@Created with GIMPW<81>^N^W^@^@^@^MIDAT^XÓc`^X^E¤^C^@^A6^@^A^ZÕ<8d>^W^@^@^@^@IEND(R)B`<82>} (it's a black png 10x10 pixel, in attach.) How can I use it with, let's say \internalfigure[\Raw][...] ? Of course, write it down to a temp file and then use \externalfigure[temp][..], but I would like to avoid this way . -- luigi

typesetting a formula as a figure
by Peter I. Hansen 20 Nov '07

20 Nov '07

Hi I would like to typeset a formula as a figure, so that the formula enters the numbering scheme of figures and that I gain the possibility of adding a figure caption. An example were this would be practical is when using ppchtex. I've been googling but having trouble finding hints on how to make such a construction. Is it possible at all? Thanks, Peter

Parallel texts
by Steffen Wolfrum 20 Nov '07

20 Nov '07

Hi, I am looking for a way to typeset bilingual text as parallel text, keeping each paragraph opposite the corresponding paragraph (left/ right page). The ledpar package from the ledmac bundle does this (I was told). How can this be done with ConTeXt? Thanks, Steffen
