ConTeXt MKIV bug: Chinese left aligned does not work as should
by Yue Wang 10 Nov '08

10 Nov '08

Hi, Hans: It seems that left aligned (flushright) does not work for chinese. I attach the minimal test files in the mail. To test the file, please download the zhfonts.tex from http://code.google.com/p/ctxnotes/downloads/list, and the adobe Chinese fonts. (I also mailed you these files long ago for other problems) Yue Wang

Change line spacing of the publication list
by Roy Zuo 09 Nov '08

09 Nov '08

Hi, I find that when the lines pacing of the text is set by \setupinterlinespace, the line spacing of publication list is not affected at all. I am just wondering if it is possible to change the line spacing of the publication list produced by bibtex to make the article have a uniform look. Thanks in advance. Roy

on imposition and local or external files
by Pablo Rodríguez 08 Nov '08

08 Nov '08

Hi there, I would like to use imposition to rearrange an existing PDF as a booklet, but I don' have ConTeXt installed on the machine I would like to do it. Using http://live.contextgarden.net/ might do the job, but I have problems to load the local file. Is there any way to load a local file (or even an URL) with ConTeXt? How should I rewrite the following command to load a local file or an URL in ConteXt live? \insertpages[original_file.pdf][width=0pt] Thanks for your help, Pablo

apostrophe in a verbatim enviroment
by Alan Bowen 07 Nov '08

07 Nov '08

Is it possible to get an apostrophe to typeset as a vertical mark ( ' ) rather than a curved mark ( ’ ) when using \starttyping and MKII? I am trying to get the old “typewriter” look for a brief stretch of text. Alan

How to set a empty string in texmf.cnf
by Weiwei Guo 07 Nov '08

07 Nov '08

Hi everyone, I need to set all SELFAUTOPARENT in texmf.cnf to empty string, but I don't know how. Here are what I have tried: SELFAUTOPARENT = SELFAUTOPARENT = "" SELFAUTOPARENT = '' SELFAUTOPARENT = $ SELFAUTOPARENT = ${} SELFAUTOPARENT = {} Although deleting all the SELFAUTOPARENT in texmf.cnf works, I just want my texmf.cnf more elegant :) Thanks in advance! Best wishes, Wei-Wei

Hi everyone, If you get two same email from me, sorry for that. I used a wrong email address in the previous email. That email address is not the subscribed email address of the list. I'm new to the list and also new to ConTeXt. I'm configuring my ConTeXt distributed with TeX Live 2008 and I cannot get my mtxrun working. I'm using Gentoo which put texmf.cnf in /etc/texmf/web2c. I set TEXMFCNF = /etc/texmf/web2c TEXMFCACHE = /var/cache/texmf and run # luatool --generate LuaTools | loading /etc/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf LuaTools | preparing configuration for /var/cache/texmf/luatex-cache/context/b51cb04348b3b14d1dfc7333fc9b63f2/trees/3c56e5e8bc2a4b2593850bb5489fdfee.tma LuaTools | saving configuration in /var/cache/texmf/luatex-cache/context/b51cb04348b3b14d1dfc7333fc9b63f2/trees/3c56e5e8bc2a4b2593850bb5489fdfee.tma LuaTools | compiling configuration to /var/cache/texmf/luatex-cache/context/b51cb04348b3b14d1dfc7333fc9b63f2/trees/3c56e5e8bc2a4b2593850bb5489fdfee.tmc LuaTools | locating list of /root/.texlive2008/texmf-config LuaTools | locating list of /root/.texlive2008/texmf-var LuaTools | locating list of /root/texmf LuaTools | locating list of /usr/share/texmf LuaTools | locating list of /usr/local/share/texmf LuaTools | locating list of /usr/share/texmf-site LuaTools | locating list of /usr/share/texmf-dist LuaTools | locating list of /etc/texmf LuaTools | locating list of /var/lib/texmf LuaTools | scanning path /usr/share/texmf LuaTools | 2257 files found on 205 directories with 111 uppercase remappings LuaTools | scanning path /usr/local/share/texmf LuaTools | 4289 files found on 65 directories with 2 uppercase remappings LuaTools | scanning path /usr/share/texmf-site LuaTools | 322 files found on 51 directories with 30 uppercase remappings LuaTools | scanning path /usr/share/texmf-dist LuaTools | 13640 files found on 1587 directories with 161 uppercase remappings LuaTools | scanning path /etc/texmf LuaTools | 36 files found on 12 directories with 0 uppercase remappings LuaTools | scanning path /var/lib/texmf LuaTools | 51 files found on 17 directories with 0 uppercase remappings ..... It seems fine and I get seven tma files (along with tmc files) in /var/cache/texmf: 0638a6bb4aac17125bf8bd1aa29dc0c8.tma 5044cbe2799fe389b078f26ff6b9ee8e.tma aa488cd1b5c872b403f3532fd1b4df18.tma 3c56e5e8bc2a4b2593850bb5489fdfee.tma 5a308100aaf95a99c661562a470a4cf8.tma 49ce9fb6981e7315a79363280fdfe510.tma 76f9d14d3870a3ca17c588db81902d3d.tma But when I run $ context hello.tex MtxRun | loading configuration for /etc/texmf/web2c from /var/cache/texmf/luatex-cache/context/b51cb04348b3b14d1dfc7333fc9b63f2/trees/3c56e5e8bc2a4b2593850bb5489fdfee MtxRun | error no format found with name cont-en MtxRun | total runtime: 0.086 It seems mtxrun only searching in 3c56e5e8bc2a4b2593850bb5489fdfee.tma.

by Thomas A. Schmitz 06 Nov '08

06 Nov '08

Hi all, Hi Hans, has anything changed in xml processing in the latest beta? My beautiful (!) collection of xml entities has stopped working. In my environment files, I have stuff such as \defineXMLentity[textellipsis]{\textellipsis} but only get the typeset "textellipsis" in my pdfs when I process them with mkiv. Bug or do I have to change anything in my files? All best Thomas
