tabulate in itemize
by Wolfgang Schuster 11 Nov '08

11 Nov '08

Hi, do own of you know how I can have a line in the tabulate that will start at the same position as the first column, \HR is no solution for me because it adds extra space before the line and I try to avoid to define my own costomized \HR command. \starttext \startitemize \item text text text \starttabulate[|cm|l|] \NC \NC Anfangsbestand \NC\NR \NC + \NC Zugänge \NC\NR \NC - \NC Abgänge \NC\NR \HL \NC \NC Endbestand \NC\NR \stoptabulate \stopitemize \stoptext Wolfgang

about "error unable to identify cnf file"
by Dalyoung Jeong 11 Nov '08

11 Nov '08

Hi, Recently, I tried to set for LuaTeX following the "Running_Mark_IV" in wiki. 1. I updated ConTeXt using "ctxtools --update". I didn't use "rsync -av ..." as in wiki for updating because I got "cannot find command texexec" error after updating ConTeXt. 2. Updated LuaTeX using "rsync -av ......../universal-darwin/" These updating processes are fine. But I got the following error when I issued "luatools --generate". LuaTools | error unable to identify cnf file LuaTools | error unable to identify cnf file LuaTools | no cnf files found (TEXMFCNF may not be set/known) LuaTools | LuaTools | runtime: 0.002 seconds I installed TL2008. The first question is that do I need to do some pre-process for the installation of LuaTeX like following? export TeXMFCNF ... export TEXMF ... ... So I run "source .luatex" where luatex is a file to setup TEXMF stuffs when I use TL2007. After that "luatools --generate" is working well. But I got another error when I try "context --make". The error message is "cannot find file context.tex". What did I do wrong in these steps? Thank you. Best regards, Dal

ConTeXt Live not working
by Pablo Rodríguez 10 Nov '08

10 Nov '08

Trying to typeset the default ConTeXt Live \starttext Hello world! \stoptext I get the following message: TeXExec | processing document 'texweb.tex' TeXExec | no ctx file found TeXExec | tex processing method: context TeXExec | TeX run 1 TeXExec | writing option file texweb.top TeXExec | using randomseed 884 TeXExec | tex engine: pdftex TeXExec | tex format: cont-en This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6) %&-line parsing enabled. (/opt/context/current/texmf/web2c/natural.tcx) I can't find the format file `cont-en.fmt'! TeXExec | runtime: 0.776454 It seems that it doesn't work. It happens also with XeTeX and LuaTeX. Pablo

pdftex and xetex not working at live.contextgarden.net
by Pablo Rodríguez 10 Nov '08

10 Nov '08

Hi there, LuaTeX seems to have been removed from live.contextgarden.net, but it seems that neither the pdftex nor xetex engine is able to compile the most basic \starttext Hello world! \stoptext Just in case it helps and none has noticed it. Pablo

typefile
by Aditya Mahajan 10 Nov '08

10 Nov '08

Hi, Something is wrong with \typefile in latest context in MKIV. \starttext \typefile{somefile} \stoptext (the file 'somefile' should exist) gives ! Undefined control sequence. <argument> \filepath \pathplusfile #1#2->#1 \f!pathseparator #2 \mktypefileverbatim ...rs.typefile("\readfilename ")} \dosometyping ...rt }{\typingparameter \c!stop }}} \stopverbatimcolor \stoppa... \dotypefile ...else \dodotypefile [\v!file ][]{#3} \fi \fi l.3 \typefile{somefile} Also, in MKII, when the file does not exist, you get a warning message in the pdf output. In MKIV, there is no warning. Missing files are silently ignored. Aditya

Pb with verb-pas
by Eric DÉTREZ 10 Nov '08

10 Nov '08

Hello A funny problem When I use pascal verbatim I've got a curious feature (?) Here is a minimal problem \starttext \startPAS i/ 2; nom/ 2; ; \stopPAS \stoptext When I typeset it the i desappear. I only occurs when the / is followed by a space and when the variable before / is made from letters (not followed by a space) It seems it comes from the gestion of comments but I don't understand where it comes from. I could type spaces before / but I need this to type oCaml source code and I changed comments (there are (* ..... *)) but I also need to refer arrays as t.(i).
