Ligatures in ConTeXt minimals distribution
by Mike Santy 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

Hello, Ligatures seem to be missing when using the ConTeXt minimals distribution (8/8/2007) with the times font (see below example). Note that ligatures are rendered correctly using live.contextgarden.net, so I assume that something needs to be configured on my end. Could someone please be kind enough to tell me what I should configure to get proper ligatures for the times font in the minimals distribution? Cheers, Mike \usetypescript[times][ec] \setupbodyfont[times,12pt] \starttext \input knuth \blank And this is some maths with PostScript fonts. \startformula {a \over b} = {c \over d} \iff ad - bc = 0, \qquad \int_0^{2\pi}\!\!\! \sin^2(x)dx =\pi, \qquad {\rm e}^{{\rm i}\pi} + 1 = 0, \qquad \sum_{k=1}^{\infty}{1 \over k^2} = {\pi^2 \over 6}. \stopformula Some ligatures: ffi, ffl. \stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] how to change 'figure 1.1' to '그림 1.1'
by Dalyoung Jeong 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

Dear all, Last september, I asked about how to change the label text of figures and of tables in my own language. At that time, Wolfgang suggested me to make lang-kor.tex like lang- chi.tex. Yesterday, I made lang-kor.tex and test it. But it is not working. I got the following error message for a simple test file. ......... ......... (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/sort-lan.mkii)) (./test- label.tuo ) (./test-label.tuo) systems : begin file test-label at line 3 ! Undefined control sequence. <argument> \koreanencoding \doenableencoding ...\edef \characterencoding {@#1 @}\fi \edef \nocharacteren... <to be read again> \koencodedintro \dogetupsometextprefix ...csname #2#1#3\endcsname \else \ifcsname #2#3\endcs... \labeltexts #1#2->\leftlabeltext {#1} #2\rightlabeltext {#1} \sectionblocklabel ...sectionblock \c!label }}{#2} \fi ... l.9 \section{figures} ? %%%%%%%%%%%% Would you please check what is wrong in here? I test it using XeTeX+ ConTeXt in gwTeX(mac OSX 10.5). Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung

Examples of MathML in Context
by Maurício 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

Hi, I've just looked at three documents from Hans ('mmlexamp.pdf', 'mmlprime.pdf', 'mmoexamp.pdf'), and they all show nice examples of MathML and what you can accomplish using it. However, I wasn't able to find an example of how to actually insert MathML in a Context document. I imagine it's probably something like that: \starttext (...) \startMathML (...) \stopMathML (...) \stoptext Does anyone knows of an example on how to do that properly? Thanks, Maurício

Replace \unexpanded\def\koencoding{\enableencoding[\koreanencoding]} with \unexpanded\def\koencoding{\enableencoding[cjk-uni]} You use a undefined command \koreanecnoding and this will always fail, you should also remove the commented lines at the end of the files and change the file information, subtitle should Korean and not Chinese and you should also change the date.

Automatic breaking of display math equations

Hi, There is a new release of breqn package (http://tug.ctan.org/get/macros/latex/contrib/mh/breqn.pdf) now maintained by Morten Hoegholm. For the impatient, just look at the examples on page 12. Need to start thinking about porting this to Context, but no time right now :-( Aditya

Re: [NTG-context] Kannada

Hello, Please post such questions to the list, not to me personally. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: gururaj <ms.gururaj(a)rediffmail.com> Date: 3 Dec 2007 16:12:42 -0000 Subject: context I couldn't configure TexnicCenter for ConTeXt. I am using SciTe instead which works fine. I have another problem. When I had Miktex installed on my machine I could use the macro package "kanlel" which gives the output in Kannada, my native language. But with ConTeXt I am unable to use the macro package. How can I make this package work with ConTeXt? %%%% I would suggest you to use XeTeX or LuaTeX for Kannada, I don't see any advantage in supporting pdfTeX to do that. You need: - the proper font - perhaps hyphenation patterns (http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/xetex/hyphenation/sanhyph/) Hans would need to add support to ConTeXt somehow, but *if and only if* you: - are ready to test (to change files and regenerate formats) - provide enough feedback (if you ask a question about TeXnicCenter and people answer it on the list, it's polite to answer that it either didn't work and what went wrong or that you managed to compile successfully) - provide enough information (what exactly doesn't work, where does it fail, what's the error message) - specify what you need (figure captions probably need to be translated into semething as well) This is a sample (which should be simplified): % engine=xetex % this ugly portion of code could be shorter, perhaps reduced to % \definetypeface[myface][rm][Xserif][Devanagari MT] % \setupbodyfont[myface] \definefontfeature[devanagari][script=deva] \starttypescript[serif][devanagari] % replace "Devanagari MT" in "name:Devanagari MT" with the font you have installed \definefontsynonym[DevanagariMTRegular] [name:Devanagari MT] [features=devanagari] \definefontsynonym[DevanagariMTBold] [name:Devanagari MT/B] [features=devanagari] \stoptypescript \starttypescript[serif][devanagari][name] \definefontsynonym[Serif] [DevanagariMTRegular] \definefontsynonym[SerifBold] [DevanagariMTBold] \definefontsynonym[SerifItalic] [Serif] \definefontsynonym[SerifBoldItalic] [SerifBold] \definefontsynonym[SerifSlanted] [Serif] \definefontsynonym[SerifBoldSlanted][SerifBold] \stoptypescript \starttypescript[devanagari] \definetypeface [devanagari] [rm] [serif] [devanagari] [default] \stoptypescript % the ugly code ends here \usetypescript[devanagari] \setupbodyfont[devanagari,15pt] \starttext % no idea what this means, but it looks non-latin at least नेपाल चार जात छत्तिस वर्णको साझा फूलवारी हो । \stoptext Mojca

Itemize starting at zero
by Zeus Gómez Marmolejo 03 Dec '07

03 Dec '07

I've searched the documentation and emails, but I didn't find the answer... It sounds really simple: How can I make the numbers in startitemize[n,...] start from 0 instead of 1? Thanks, Zeus.
