FLOWchart clipping or offset
by Johan Sandblom 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

Consider this example. As it stands, the cells in the flow chart are clipped on the horizontal extremes. On the other hand if the offset is uncommented, a vertical offset is introduced which makes the bottom of the chart depart from the page (or at least it does in the real world use from which this is drawn). I remember horoffset from some context but it does not work here. Is there a solution I am missing?

installing latest beta
by Alan Bowen 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

I have been unable to install the latest ConTeXt beta—both sudo texhash sudo fail (stall) when updating /usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-dist/ls-R... The last beta worked as expected and, so far as I know, there have been no changes in my installation. Any suggestions? Alan

Unwanted information in PDF files
by Maurício 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

Hi, After generating a PDF from a .tex file, I changed the name of the resulting PDF to something else. But when I open that file in 'evince', it still shows the old file name. I opened that file in emacs in saw that I lot of info is stored in the PDF file: original file name, creation date, "generated by Context" etc. That can be a problem sometimes. For instance, someone wouldn't want to write a file like 'I_hate_my_job.tex' and then change the result to 'report_to_boss.pdf', just to see his manager opening the file and reading the first name. Or, in my situation, write a file with special Unicode characters and see evince show the file name as bogus characters. How can I instruct Context not to write anything inside the PDF file that I have not asked for? Thanks, Maurício

PDF Bookmarks on unnumbered subjects/titles etc
by mir_ctx＠imap.cc 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

Has anyone managed to get ConTeXt to generate PDF bookmarks for the unnumbered headings such as \title, \subject, etc? I saw the examples on the wiki page but unfortunately they did nothing. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/PDF_Bookmarks_and_Headers \setupinteraction[state=start] \placebookmarks[chapter] \setupinteractionscreen[option=bookmark] \starttext \chapter{some chapter} \bookmark{a title} some text \stoptext The above example correctly generates bookmarks in the PDF. I can't, however, get the same thing to work when using \subject. Even explicitly placing bookmarks with \bookmark doesn't work: \setupinteraction[state=start] \placebookmarks[chapter] % didn't add subject here as the wiki % says it doesn't work, and it's correct \setupinteractionscreen[option=bookmark] \starttext \subject{some chapter} \bookmark{a title} some text \stoptext The wiki page also has this: \definehead[Title][Chapter] \setuphead[Title][number=no] But that doesn't make the slightest difference. Anybody got any ideas how to get this to work? I'm using: pdfeTeX 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4) TeXExec 5.2.4 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texutil : TeXUtil 9.0.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2004 tex : pdfeTeX, 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4) context : ver: 2005.01.31 cont-en : ver: 2005.01.31 fmt: 2007.5.21 mes: english Apologies if my replies to this list are apparently nonexistent.

Heading styles
by Zeus Gómez Marmolejo 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

Hi all, Two questions concerning heading styles: 1) How can I control vertical spacing of section headings. I'm doing it now with: \setuphead [subsection] [before=\vskip -7pt, after=\vskip -20pt] But I think this is quite clumsy, because I'm adding a negative spacing. I only want to remove the "default" spacing... 2) I want to use a complete different font for headings. My mainface family is iwona but I want subsection titles in Palatino. How can I make this? Thanks, Zeus.

[Dev-luatex] beta 0.20.1 released
by Taco Hoekwater 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

Hi all, I have just uploaded the archives for luatex 0.20.1. This is a bugfix release for wednesday's beta, and it fixes the following issues: * texlua was broken on Solaris because the some C header files were loaded in the wrong order. * os.tmpdir() now accepts an argument, making it easier to use. It now generates more unique filenames when it is called repeatedly in one run. * The --luaconly commandline switch is now documented in the --help text. * The new extended hyphenation exceptions were severely broken. * \pdfprotrudechars could cause luatex to abort with an assertion failure. * There was a bug in the \span code that could cause endless loops. * The simple forms of \leaders were messed up on windows because a variable was not properly initialized. * Non-grouped \textdir commands created invalid output. * e-TeX's pseudo files were not closed properly in ini mode. * The luatex.web now weaves properly again. * I made some small improvements to the manual. I have uploaded source and linux/win32 binaries to http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/luatex/ Have fun, Taco _______________________________________________ dev-luatex mailing list dev-luatex(a)ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/dev-luatex

Project file structure
by Jeff Smith 11 Dec '07

11 Dec '07

Hi all! I know that ConTeXt looks for files *higher*in the directory tree when it doesn't find them. But is there a way to tell ConTeXt to specifically look for files lower in the tree? One of my project - a dictionary - will involve thousands of component files, as the best way to manage its production is to keep every entry in an individual component file. But I'm a sucker for orderly and clean directories. I'd really like to group all my stuff into several subdirectories, below my main file. :-) Is it possible, or am I grasping at straws here? Thanks! Jeff

Re: [NTG-context] how to change 'figure 1.1' to '?? 1.1'
by Jeong Dalyoung 11 Dec '07

11 Dec '07

Dear Mojca and Wolfgang, I am sorry to give you a unclear question. We usually write the chapter title "(a character) (chapter no) (a character) (chapter title)" and I know how to set chapter title as above form using setuplabel or setuphead. Your methods give me more choices. Then the \completecontent and \completeindex follows the above setup of chapters. My question was how to make the head title setup of contents and of indices free from the chapter setup? Now, I find that the prefix{"(a character) (chapter no) (a character)"} can be suppressed using "prefix=no" parameter in \setupcombinedlist for contents and indices. It seems to me that we may define a new format for contents and indices by using "command" in \setupcombinedlist. I'll test it soon. If there is a sample file for this, please let me know. It is really hard for me to follow ConTeXt's power. Thank you for the replies. Best regards, Dalyoung
