How to format the line "Table of Contents" ?
by Steffen Wolfrum 05 Jun '07

05 Jun '07

Hi, maybe just a detail, but it never was really clear to me: To change the actual text of TOC's heading I use ... \setupheadtext [de] [content=Inhaltsverzeichnis] But how do I manually change the formatting (font, spaces etc.) for this line? Steffen

The paragraph follows the math equations doesn't indent
by fdu.xiaojf＠gmail.com 05 Jun '07

05 Jun '07

Hi, all, I found that the paragraph follows the math equations doesn't indent. Following is a demo: ------------------------------------- \setupindenting[big,yes] \setupheads[indentnext=yes] \starttext \subject{The paragraph follows the math equations doesn't indent} \input knuth \placeformula \startformula a + b = c \stopformula \input knuth \stoptext ------------------------------------- Is this behavior by design? How can I make all paragraphs to indent? Thanks. Xiao Jianfeng

questions about indentation
by fdu.xiaojf＠gmail.com 04 Jun '07

04 Jun '07

Hi all, I'm using ConTeXt to typeset Chinese, and I am confused with indentation in ConTeXt. 1) I've searched the wiki and found several commands maybe relevant: \indentation, \indenting, \setupindentations, \setupindenting. My first question is what are the differences between "indentation" and "indenting" ? 2) In Chinese, most paragraphs start with an indentation of two characters. How to make the width of the indentation to be exactly two Chinese characters? I can achieve this approximately by using \setupindenting[big,yes] and \setupheads[indentnext=yes]. Thanks.

Contrast color in \setupinteraction
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 04 Jun '07

04 Jun '07

Hello, I use \setupcolors[state=start] \setupinteraction[state=start] and after I place the contents somewhere, the links that refer to the same page where the content is are red but others are green. I want them to be just the same. I found that \setupinteraction[state=start, color=middleblue, contrastcolor=middleblue] solves my problem, but is it the most elegant way to do? Can I just turn off the contrast? Best, Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky

All, Why does ctxtools --purgefiles meta miss the two files shown below (.keep is ignored and .tuo is not removed)? context $ ctxtools --purgefiles meta CtxTools | purging temporary files : meta CtxTools | checking files that match 'meta-*.*' CtxTools | checking files that match 'meta.*' CtxTools | removed : meta-mpgraph.mp CtxTools | removed : meta-mpgraph.mpo CtxTools | removed : meta-mpgraph.1 CtxTools | removed : meta.tui CtxTools | removed : meta-mpgraph.log CtxTools | removed : meta.log CtxTools | removed : meta-path.tmp CtxTools | removed : meta.tmp CtxTools | removed : meta-mpgraph.mpb CtxTools | not removed : meta.tuo CtxTools | removed : mpgraph.mp CtxTools | removed files : 10 CtxTools | kept files : 1 CtxTools | persistent files : 0 CtxTools | reclaimed bytes : 25817 context $ ls meta* meta-mpgraph.mp.keep meta.tex meta.pdf meta.tuo

Routebeschrijving: http://www.vet.uu.nl/viavet/viavet/departementen/paard/contact/ plattegrond Let op, sinds de laatste aanpassing van de website is er een en ander veranderd! Het thema 'fonts en talen' in tex is momenteel vrij actueel. Er worden TeX engines ontwikkeld (xetex en luatex) en er worden open type fonts ontwikkeld (latin modern en de tex gyre collection). Als jij een van de gebruikers bent die vaak meertalige documenten maakt, of die nog wel eens in de knoei komt met fonts en talen, kom dan vooral. Dit is je kans om aan te geven waar knelpunten liggen. We verkeren nu in de unieke situatie dat een aantal problemen in een klap kunnen worden opgelost in de nieuwe tex engines en fonts.

preset for max spacewidth ?
by Steffen Wolfrum 04 Jun '07

04 Jun '07

Hi, in some projects the regular " " (empty space) becomes quite wide, in some justified paragraphs. I guess there is a preset somewhere describing the range how far the space can be shrinked/stretched. So, in these projects I'd like to have the maximum spacewidth set a bit narrower. Just, where is this definition? Steffen

Ubuntu pkgs: new edgy backports
by Sanjoy Mahajan 04 Jun '07

04 Jun '07

I just updated the Ubuntu edgy backports of the texlive packages (for i386) and have been running them on my feisty laptop for half an hour and they pass my usual 'compile textbook in ConTeXt' test. The 'context' package provides version 2007.04.17 12:51. They are recompilations of the latest Ubuntu gutsy (7.10) packages, which are Norbert's latest Debian packages with maybe a couple additions (on the other hand, Ubuntu and Debian look like they are in sync right now). Let me know if you have problems. To use the packages, add these lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list : deb http://web.mit.edu/download/sanjoy/texlive-backports/ edgy/ deb-src http://web.mit.edu/download/sanjoy/texlive-backports/ edgy/ To add my key (to use the security features of apt-get): wget http://www.inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/sanjoy/sanjoy.asc sudo apt-key add sanjoy.asc Then apt-get update apt-get install cm-super texlive-fonts-recommended \ context context-nonfree context-doc-nonfree ('cm-super comes from the universe repositories) If you've been using them before, you don't need the install line with explicit pkgs. Instead just update with apt-get upgrade -Sanjoy gpg DSA: 0x3FCDAAA3 gpg fp: 9722 56B0 F787 12A9 164E 34B7 09C9 E543 3FCD AAA3
