Hello, Let me share my installer for MSWinContext. The archive contains installer and source code. http://rapidshare.com/files/51816047/context-installer-1.0.zip After you unpacked MSWinContext onto your hard drive, copy context_reg_install.exe into \context\tex folder and run it there. Any questions/suggestions? ;) -- Best regards, Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky

OK, so here is what you need to do to install the non-existing "minimals": Step 1: download from PRAGMA: wget -c http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/install/justtex.zip wget -c http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/install/linuxtex.zip unzip justtex.zip unzip linuxtex.zip Step 2: download binaries from TeXLive 2007 and prepare a freebsd binary folder cd tex mkdir texmf-freebsd cd texmf-freebsd svn co svn://tug.org/texlive/trunk/Master/bin/i386-freebsd mv i386-freebsd bin # perhaps also chmod 755 bin/* mv ../texmf-linux/web2c . cd .. rm -r texmf-linux Step 3: patch setuptex Find the following ines in setuptex: export TEXARCH=`uname -m` export TEXUNIX=`uname -s` if [ "$TEXARCH" = "x86_64" ] ; then export TEXMFOS=$TEXROOT/texmf-linux-64 ; fi if [ "$TEXUNIX" = "Darwin" ] ; then export TEXMFOS=$TEXROOT/texmf-macosx ; fi and add a hardcoded line below them export TEXMFOS=$TEXROOT/texmf-freebsd Step 4: First setup Run . setuptex mktexlsr texexec --make --all texexec --make --all --xtx # don't worry about those below yet if they don't work luatools --generate texexec --make --all --lua Step 5: compile your document cd your-folder texexec your-file Step 6: next time cd folder-with-setuptex . setuptex (I've put that command to .bashrc) If you want TeXLive 2007: svn co svn://tug.org/texlive/trunk/Master ./install-live.sh You can install it in such a way that it doesn't interfere with your old system.

Hi, I uploaded a new version of mkiv (regular zip). - attribute based color support, thanks to peter rolf for extensive testing of metapost related issues (colo-new.* files, original colo-ini still present do deleting the new ones brings you the old mechanism) - intercharacter spacing based on attributes and node processing - pre/post character spacing (for french) using similar mechanism - case changing using attributes and node processing simple test file for spacing and casing: \starttext test: oeps {\setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation] x: xx \bfd x: xx} oeps: test test \WORD{test TEST \TeX} test test \word{test TEST \TeX} test test \Word{test TEST \TeX} test {\setcharacterkerning[extrakerning]\input zapf\endgraf } {\setcharacterkerning[extrakerning]bla bla||bla bla effe fietsen} \hbox{\setcharacterkerning[extrakerning]fietsen} \hbox{\setcharacterkerning[extrakerning]fiet\-sen} \hbox{\setcharacterkerning[extrakerning]} \hbox{\setcharacterkerning[extrakerning]f} \hbox{\setcharacterkerning[extrakerning]fi} \stoptext Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

cweb-scr.pdf and m-cweb
by John Luciani 28 Aug '07

28 Aug '07

Are the source files that were used to create cweb-scr.pdf on the http://www.pragma-ade.com site available for download? I am trying to get ConTeXt working on a cweaved TeX file and am getting an Undefined control sequence error. A working example (especially the source for the cweb-scr files) would be extremely useful. Thanks. (* jcl *) -- http://www.luciani.org

Hi all, Yesterday I issued: ctxtools --updatecontext and everything seemed as usual. But when trying to compile a standard file, I get: ... ConTeXt ver: 2007.08.20 22:17 MKII fmt: 2007.8.21 int: english/english language : language en is active system : cont-new loaded (/usr/local/texlive/2007/../texmf-local/tex/context/base/cont-new.tex FatalError : Your format does not match the base files! FormatVersion : 2007.08.20 22:17 MKII FilesVersion : 2007.08.27 09:11 ... and it fails. I tried to go to all the steps described in the wiki (for texlive install), no joy :-( tia, -- Jean

Streams ignore textwidth
by Aditya Mahajan 27 Aug '07

27 Aug '07

Hi, In streams width=whatever only sets the width of the bounding box, the text still goes until \textwidth. Is this a bug or a feature? A work around is to use setups:stream:settings, but it is a bit clumsy. See the differece between the two streams below. \usemodule[streams] \definestreamlayer[flash][width=3in] \definestreamlayer[model][width=3in] \startsetups streamlayer:flash:settings \hsize=3in \stopsetups \starttext \startstreamlayer[flash] \input tufte \stopstreamlayer \startstreamlayer[model] \input tufte \stopstreamlayer \framed[sturt=no]{\placestreamlayer[flash]} \framed[sturt=no]{\placestreamlayer[model]} \stoptext Aditya
