referencing figures with \in
by Hans van der Meer 26 Jun '07

26 Jun '07

I used to place references to figures and tables in the following way: \placefigure[][fig:myfig]{Title}{\useMPgraphic{myfig}{parameters}} \in{figure}[fig:myfig] This however printed a dot instead of the expected "figure #". Changing to \at{figure}[fig:myfig] again printed the correct reference. Looking further into this I found: \meaning\in --> \protected macro:->\dohandlemathtoken {in} \meaning\at --> macro:->\dohandlecommand {at} Still, the ConText manual tells me that \in{.1}{.2.}[ref] (with {.2.} optional) should work. In file core-ref.tex at line 2118 (2007-04-17 version) I find: %\def\in% % {\ifmmode % \expandafter\donormalin % \else % \expandafter\doinatreference\expandafter\currenttextreference % \fi} But I am definitely not in math mode when calling \in. I did some further experimentation but nothing helped. Has something changed here or is there something I do obviously wrong? Hans van der Meer

Setting background for entire header
by Aditya Mahajan 26 Jun '07

26 Jun '07

Hi, I want to set the background of the entire header (from left edge of the paper to the right edge). As far as I could tell, there is no way to coax setupbackgrounds to do this. I can do this using layers or abuse the margin and offset keys of framed to make it cover the remaining area, but is there really no direct way to do this? Here is my attempt so far. \setupbodyfont[14pt] \setuppapersize [S6] [S6] \setuplayout [topspace=0cm, top=0cm, topdistance=0cm, header=3\lineheight, headerdistance=0.5\lineheight, height=middle, footerdistance=0.5\lineheight, footer=2\lineheight, bottomspace=0cm, bottom=0cm, bottomdistance=0cm, backspace=1cm, leftmargin=.5cm, leftmargindistance=.15cm, width=middle, cutspace=.5cm, rightmargin=.25cm, rightmargindistance=.15cm, grid=yes, ] \setupcolors[state=start] %%%% What should go here??? \setupbackgrounds[header][background=color,backgroundcolor=blue] %%%% \starttext test \stoptext Aditya

Notepad++ format files

Hello, Someone promised to provide ConTeXt formats for Notepad++ some time ago. Is this affort alive? I use the app a lot but it is tailored for LaTeX. It is unjust. BTW, Notepad++ is based on the SciTE editor. -- Best regards, Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky

Context en TechnicCenter
by Liesbeth van der Plas 25 Jun '07

25 Jun '07

Beste mensen, *Hoe krijg ik een ConTEXt file aan de praat in in TEXnicCenter (geïnstalleerd met de protext-cd)? * Na de installatie van MiKTEX, TEXnicCenter, Ghostscript en GSview with the Protext-cd, lukt het me wel een Latex file te compileren, maar Context niet. Noch het artikel van Steve Peter ( http://www.tug.org/pracjourn/2005-2/peter/peter.pdf ), noch het verhaal op http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Configure_TeXnicCenter_for_ConTeXt helpt me uit de brand. In de nieuwste Maps schrijft Frans Goddijn een stukje over MikTEX, maar over Context heeft hij het helaas niet. Paul Blaga schreef me: -for the compiler C:\texmf\miktex\bin\texexec.exe -for the command line arguments: --nonstop --interface=nl --pdf "%nm" For me, it works. Bij mij werkt dit ook niet. Er wordt geen pdf of ander file gemaakt en in het Output Profile staat één regel: *Latex result: 0 Error(s), 0 Waring(s), 0 Bad Box(es), 0 Page(s)* * Steve Peter zegt:* * **For the command-line arguments, you can add any switches you use for **texexec **or **texmfstart**, such as **--pdf**. Use the arrow button to the right of the text box to select a placeholder for the file (for example **%pm **will pass the entire path of the file,along with the extension).* * *Dingen als:: *-interaction=nonstopmode "%pm" --nonstop --interface=nl --pdf --ps "%bm" * Werken ook allemaal niet. Ik denk dat mijn informatica/windows kennis hier echt te kort schiet. Heeft iemand een idee? Liesbeth van der Plas -- liesbethvanderplas(a)gmail.com www.wiskunde-interactief.nl

by Hamid Kamrani 25 Jun '07

I am just wondering if this is a bug or feature or some lack of understanding on my part. The horizontal list turns into a vertical list inside a framedtext environment. The same happens in a background environment. \starttext \startframedtext[width=\textwidth] \startitemize[5, columns, four] \item Excellent student \item Good student \item Mediocre student \item Poor student \stopitemize \stopframedtext \stoptext -Hamid

Hello, Sorry for a trivial question, but I cannot figure out how to tune appearance of my generated PDF. I want the default scaling to be "Page Fit" and bookmarks being showed. -- Best regards, Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky

Re: [NTG-context] cannot generate cont-en format
by In Hee Park 24 Jun '07

Thanks all, Taco, Mojca, and Hans! I tried your suggestions and finally decided to install TeXLive with ruby, which let me compile tex files and get pdf output. Thanks again! _____________ In-Hee Park [2007-06-24.Sun.10:03am] Mojca Miklavec wrote `Re: [NTG-context] cannot...' Also, be aware that the TeX distribution coming with your linux is ancient (most probably teTeX). pdfTeX version is very old and you might not be able to run the latest ConTeXt. SuSE distributes ConTeXt as well, although it's probably an old one. In any case you will have to update LModern fonts as well once you manage to do mktexlsr and build the formats. You might also experience problems with ruby vs. perl binaries. See http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TeTeX_3.0_installation#Install_a_Latin_Modern… and pay extra attention to "ruby scripts". Installing TeXLive might be another option though.
