setting up quotations
by frantisek holop 22 Aug '07

22 Aug '07

hi there, i have just finished reading the archives from the times when there was no \setupquotation only \setupquote i am glad that now a \setupquotation exists, but my problem seems to be that \setupquotation affects all quotations... consider the following example: \setupquotation [style=italic] \quote{I am \quotation{not} here,} he said, then he went on singing \startquotation Maybe I just want to fly\crlf I want to live I don't want to die\crlf Maybe I just want to breath\crlf Maybe I just don't believe\crlf Maybe you're the same as me\crlf We see things they'll never see\crlf You and I are gonna live forever\crlf \stopquotation all 3 quotations are in italics. i think this is incorrect... all 3 quoting styles have their place and function. \startquotation should have some \blank before and after, different margins, etc. that's what i want to set up with \setupquotation a lot of publisher make even typeset these in smaller fonts. how can i make this happen? this is really important for typesetting books, it is not? -f -- if you do nothing, how do you know when you're finished?

Hello, Thank you all. I will try in a moment. A stupid question: should I update both context/current/cont-tmf.zip and context/current/cont-win.zip every time or only the first? -- Best regards, Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky

Hi, I would like to have font bigger than 12pt. When I try following, commented line causes error message "Math formula deleted: Insufficient symbol fonts." while compiled with luatex. Could you tell me why and how to fix it? Thanks ZS \starttext \setupbodyfont[rm,13pt] Some reaction O\low{2} $\rightarrow$ O\low{3}. %Some reaction\footnote{ O\low{2} $\rightarrow$ O\low{3} }. \stoptext

MetaFun and different body font size
by Oliver Buerschaper 20 Aug '07

20 Aug '07

Dear folks, I'm wondering how to communicate a different default bodyfont size to MetaFun ... consider this: --- \setupbodyfont[32pt] \starttext \input ward \startuseMPgraphic{test} draw unitsquare scaled BodyFontSize; draw textext.rt("Test"); draw btex \TeX etex xshifted 2*BodyFontSize; \stopuseMPgraphic \useMPgraphic{test} \stoptext --- Somehow MetaFun doesn't recognize the larger body font size :-( What can I do?

Greetings all, Has anyone had any luck getting the lilypond module to work with mkiv/ luatex engine? It fails for me (works fine with mkii/pdftex). I can send along some log info if others have found it to work. Regards, David

Mysterious clipping for shaded MetaFun page background

Dear folks, can anyone reproduce this? (Live ConTeXt on the garden seems to run into this \faststartcolor thing ... with pdfTeX.)

Learning ConTeXt
by Istvan Hollerbach 20 Aug '07

20 Aug '07

Hi Everybody, I want to learn ConTeXt, but 'cont-enp.pdf' and 'mp-cb-en.pdf' do not explain many things in detail, for example the parameters of command \setuplayout on the page 24 of cont-enp.pdf. Or am I careless? How shall I start to learn? And how shall I go on learning? Best regards, Istvan Hollerbach

TEXapplication
by Wolfgang Werners-Lucchini 20 Aug '07

20 Aug '07

Hallo, while playing with m-pstric I realized that there is an other problem. m-pstric uses the TEXapplication start/stop mechanism, but the resulting box has no extend. The commented version which does not make use of TEXapplication works ok. Wolfgang
