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

Tracing layout in framed texts
by Idris Samawi Hamid 23 Feb '07

23 Feb '07

Dear cartel, I would like to trace a layout within a framedtexts environment. That is, I would like to setup a layout within framed texts and get the equivalent of \showframe for those framed texts. Can it be done? The following is a test file: ========================= \setupframedtexts[location=middle] \setuplayout[width=middle] \starttext \input knuth \startframedtext \showframe % does nothing here \input zapf \stopframedtext \input knuth \stoptext ========================= Best Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523 -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/

compiling complex file
by andrea valle 23 Feb '07

23 Feb '07

(I'm sorry, Hans, Taco, I' ve already sent it, always with some posting problems, so there are 2 posts to be approved by moderator: I tried to remove them but the process failed). Dear ConTeXter, I'm having some troubles in compiling a document. I'm writing a short book (a tutorial). I writing each chapter on a separate file, then I have a main file using this kind of structure \input stile ... \input 00.introduzione \page \input 01.scGrado0 \page \input 02.architettura ... Where \input is used to insert each chapter. Also, I'm using a sort of style file defining the setups, and I'm inputting it as the first line of my "main.tex" file. Some chapters contain long framed \type parts (it's a book on a programming language), filling an entire page. When I compile each chapter file, I have no problem. But I can't compile the main file. ConTeXt keeps on adding blank pages on blank pages (total is approx. 100 pages, I stopped ConTeXt at 635). I guess it could depend on framed \type but can't understand how to solve it. Here one of the most "difficult" files. By itself it compiles properly (perfectly...I like it). http://www.semiotiche.it/andrea/membrana/03.oggetti.tex Here the compiled file (it uses a lot of images and other stuff so you can't compile it): http://www.semiotiche.it/andrea/membrana/03.oggetti.pdf Here the style file: http://www.semiotiche.it/andrea/membrana/stile.tex Here the main file: http://www.semiotiche.it/andrea/membrana/main.tex Many thanks as usual -a- Andrea Valle DAMS - Facoltà di Scienze della Formazione Università degli Studi di Torino http://www.semiotiche.it/andrea andrea.valle(a)unito.it Andrea Valle DAMS - Facoltà di Scienze della Formazione Università degli Studi di Torino http://www.semiotiche.it/andrea andrea.valle(a)unito.it

On tikz
by Idris Samawi Hamid 23 Feb '07

23 Feb '07

A note to the gang: Although the manual indicates otherwise the tikz module apparently needs the keyval package to work: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/xkeyval/ and the directory structure of the zip needs to be changed so that it's easier to install (just dumping into /texmf-local and running mktexlsr does not work). Maybe someone on the wiki can make ConTeXt packages?

strange text/math spacing
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 22 Feb '07

22 Feb '07

Hi, I found a small but annoying thing about math. When I typeset in-line formula like '...a vector of $a_x$ is...', it creates too little space between 'of' and succeeding lowercase math symbol.Uppercase math symbol is treated right. I can leave it as it is, but it strange to me why TeX performs poor on that. (There too many 'of' for testing purposes). %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \starttext In MATLAB, we can create the Leslie matrix using {\tt gallery('leslie', A, B)} command, where of $A$ is a vector of $a_x$ with dimensions of $[1:X]$ and of $B$ is a vector of \mathematics{b_x} with dimensions of $[1:X-1]$. \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Best, Vyatcheslav

tex live and context
by Hans Hagen 22 Feb '07

22 Feb '07

Hi, If you update your tex to the latest tex live cq. debian, also get the latest latin modern http://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry/latin-modern/download (you don't need the context related zip there; i need that for older setups) TeX Live ships with incomplete map files.

Forcing pictures to stay in sections
by Kumar Appaiah 21 Feb '07

21 Feb '07

Dear ConTeXt users, I would like to do something like this: I have a couple of sections in my page, and some graphics (fairly big, each 1/4th of the page size, say) to be laid out in the sections. Now, there are some sections in which one of the pictures is laid out on one page with some text, but there isn't place to get the image on the same page. So, the image is put on the next page. However, if I start a new section, the image appears under the new section (that is, after the new section heading), which I don't want. How do I enforce the picture to be laid out before the next section heading? One simple way to do it would be to force a new page before a section, but I want to save that space! :-) Thanks.
