can not include movie
by Michail Vidiassov 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

Dear All, ConTeXt user manual says movies are just like figures, but when I process \starttext \placefigure[here]{none}{\externalfigure[demo.mov][width=0.7\textwidth, height=.7\textwidth, label=demo, preview=yes]} \stoptext with context filename.tex using the latest minimals without any custom settings I do not get movie included. What can be wrong? I am a ConTeXt newbie and fail to see any possible place for errors in the above test case. Sincerely, Michail

chapter-like headings with separate numbering
by Sanjoy Mahajan 06 Dec '08

06 Dec '08

I'm experimenting with making a heading that is like a chapter in format but has its own numbering (or lettering). The purpose to have an interlude, or extended example, every few chapters. The following almost-minimal example almost does so. However, the second interlude is numbered with 'A' instead of 'B'. Is there a missing key=value pair, or is the approach completely wrong? \definesection[nc] \setupsection[nc][conversion=Characters] \definehead[interlude][section=nc,default=chapter] \setuphead[interlude][incrementnumber=yes] \starttext \title{Contents} \placelist[chapter,interlude] \chapter{Chap 1} \interlude{Interlude 1} \chapter{Chap 2} \interlude{Interlude 2} \stoptext

File fails to compile
by Charles Doherty 04 Dec '08

04 Dec '08

Dear all, I made a poster about two months ago. Today I cloned it to make a different one. I am using MacTex 2008 distribution and XeConTeXt . I am using fonts such as Hoefler, Gentium, Junicode etc. The original file and the new one stick at the console readout below. I uninstalled 2008 distribution completely and reinstalled but I get the same result. The files give me pdf output if I use just ConTeXt but of course I do not get the fonts. I would be most grateful if anyone could offer advice.

context minimals on OpenSolaris 2008.11
by "Michael Krauß" 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

Hello list members and ConTeXt gods, this question is more technical than TeXnical but none the less ConTeXt releated. Today I am investigating if I can replace linux with OpenSolaris, so I am testing every, even exotic, software that I use on my linux box on OpenSolaris. Looking into first-setup.sh there seem to be support for Solaris on Intel hardware called "sunos-intel". But if I try to install ConTeXt it doesn't work: mickraus@gandalf:~/context$ ./first-setup.sh /usr/bin/rsync /usr/bin/ruby receiving file list ... rsync: link_stat "/setup/sunos-intel/bin" (in minimals) failed: No such file or directory (2) done sent 4 bytes received 9 bytes 26.00 bytes/sec total size is 0 speedup is 0.00 rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(1385) [receiver=2.6.9] ./first-setup.sh: line 68: mtxrun: not found Next I tried to build the binaries myself by checking out the sources from Subversion: svn co http://svn.contextgarden.net/minimals-src/build-binaries And running ./build-binaries.sh afterwards. But this doesn't work either: mickraus@gandalf:~/context/build-binaries$ ./build-binaries.sh [ ... tons of make output removed ... ] ar cru ../kpathsea/.libs/libkpathsea.a tex-file.o absolute.o atou.o cnf.o concat.o concat3.o concatn.o db.o debug.o dir.o elt-dirs.o expand.o extend-fname.o file-p.o find-suffix.o fn.o fontmap.o getopt.o getopt1.o hash.o kdefault.o line.o magstep.o make-suffix.o path-elt.o pathsearch.o proginit.o progname.o readable.o rm-suffix.o str-list.o str-llist.o tex-glyph.o tex-hush.o tex-make.o tilde.o truncate.o uppercasify.o variable.o version.o xbasename.o xcalloc.o xdirname.o xfopen.o xfseek.o xfseeko.o xftell.o xftello.o xgetcwd.o xmalloc.o xopendir.o xputenv.o xrealloc.o xstat.o xstrdup.o error.o filename.o home.o lookcmd.o string.o system.o time.o user.o volume.o ranlib ../kpathsea/.libs/libkpathsea.a creating ../kpathsea/libkpathsea.la (cd ../kpathsea/.libs && rm -f libkpathsea.la && ln -s ../libkpathsea.la libkpathsea.la) ./ctangle ctangle make: ./ctangle: Command not found make: *** [ctangle.c] Error 127 cp: cannot stat `build/texk/web2c/mpdir/mpost': No such file or directory Reverted 'VERSIONS' -e Sorry, there have been some failures: - build of xetex on sunos-intel - build of luatex on sunos-intel - build of metapost on sunos-intel -n No svn commit!

vertical alignment in footer
by Zoho Vignochi 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

Hello: I am a recent convert from LaTeX to conTeXt. kudos to all the developers! I have read through the wiki and as many tutorials/manuals as I can find. My problem is that I have a footer which includes a logo. I would like all the elements in the footer to be vertically centred, where as now they are aligned along the bottom. Here is my code: \startsetups footer \hfill \pagenumber \hfill \llap{\externalfigure[logo]} \stopsetups Thanks, Zoho

difference between TeX behavior and ConTeXt
by Lars Huttar 01 Dec '08

01 Dec '08

Hello, I've been reading through the TeXbook to solidify the foundations for TeX programming. In an exercise on roman and italic text, ConTeXt seems to behave differently from what the book specifies (Plain TEX) at a fairly fundamental level. Exercise 4.1 says, "Explain how to typeset a roman word in the midst of an italicized sentence." I wrote, and the solution in the appendix says, {\it Explain how to typeset a\/ {\rm roman} word in the midst of an italicized sentence.} But when I typeset this using texexec, the word "roman" appears in italic, just like the rest of the sentence. I tried this on both Windows XP and Ubuntu Linux, with both PDFTex and Xetex engines. On Windows I'm using ConTeXt minimal, and on Linux I'm using ConTeXt from the TeXLive 2008 CD. The result is the same in all cases: all the text is italicized. Does this difference in behavior represent a known "feature" of ConTeXt? If so, is it a difference in the defined behavior of \rm? When I put \show\rm in the .tex file to display the definition of the \rm macro, and run texexec, I get: > \rm=\protected macro: ->\setcurrentfontstyle {rm}. l.7 \show\rm By contrast, according to http://webpages.charter.net/davidlha/.trm/trmi.html, "Plain TeX defines \rm to be `\fam=0 \tenrm'." So clearly the definition of the \rm macro is different in ConTeXt than it is in Plain TeX. I could understand ConTeXt possibly changing the details of \rm's definition, e.g. a change in default font family; but it would really be surprising to find that the logic of \rm's behavior has been changed. Please help me understand if this is a bug or if there is a design principle of ConTeXt that I should be aware of... Thanks, Lars

The rules of Chinese breaking lines don't work
by Yanrui Li 01 Dec '08

01 Dec '08

Hi, Today when I updated the newest beta, I found that Chinese breaking lines failed. This is a simple test file: %% \definefontfeature [zh][mode=node,script=hang,lang=zhs] \definefontsynonym [SongTi][AdobeSongStd-Light][features=zh] \definefont [song][SongTi at 12pt] \starttext \song 天下事有难易乎？为之，则难者易易也。不为，则易者易难也。蜀之鄙有二僧，其一贫，其一富。贫者语于富者曰：吾欲之南海何如？ \stoptext %% The attachment with this mail is the PDF file which I got by compiling the example as above. I noticed that the font-ini.mkiv was modified in newest beta (because I manage the beta with git in my machine). Maybe the problem is related to it. -- Best wishes, Li Yanrui

ConTeXt + BibTeX problem
by Guilherme P. de Freitas 01 Dec '08

01 Dec '08

Hi everybody. I have two files: "texfile.tex" and "references.bib". They are attached and also copied in the bottom of the email. There is one citation. The **problem** is: the citation appears correctly in the body of the text in the PDF, but the References list is empty. However, if one changes line 14 \subsection{Top trading procedures} to \subsubject{Top trading procedures} then everything works: the citation appears correctly *and* the reference appears in the References list. I don't know why. Any ideas? Here are the files: \\---------- texfile.tex ---------- \usemodule[bib] \setupbibtex[database={./references}] \setuppublications[ refcommand=authoryear, sort=auhor] \starttext Let $X = \{h_{1}, \ldots, h_{n} \}$ and $D$ be all the unitary subsets of $X$; $N = \{1, \ldots, n\}$ and preferences given by linear orders (complete and strict rankings) over $D$. This is the housing market introduced by \cite{shapley_cores_1974}. \section{Procedures} \subsection{Top trading procedures} % \subsubject{Top trading procedures} % If we use "subsection" instead of "subsubject", the References disappear. In the classic housing assignment problem, Gale's {\em top trade cycles} (TTC) algorithm yields an efficient allocation that is in the core. \completepublications \stoptext ---------------------------------// And the BibTeX file: \\---------- references.bib ---------- @article{shapley_cores_1974, title = {On cores and indivisibility}, volume = {1}, journal = {Journal of Mathematical Economics}, author = {Lloyd Shapley and Herbert Scarf}, month = mar, year = {1974}, pages = {23--37} } ------------------------------------// -- Guilherme P. de Freitas http://www.gpfreitas.com

Weighted colors in MkIV
by Wolfgang Schuster 30 Nov '08

30 Nov '08

Hi, in MkIV there is a problem when I set tints for a color. This is a complete minimal example of my setup: \setupcolors[state=start,rgb=no,cmyk=yes,spot=yes] % rgb= no needed in MkII \setupcolor [hex] \definecolor[PantoneOneEightSeven][h=C40F2F,e=Pantone 187 U] \definespotcolor[dtkred] [PantoneOneEightSeven][p=1.0] \definespotcolor[dtkredlight][PantoneOneEightSeven][p=0.7] \starttext \blackrule[width=4cm,height=4cm,color=dtkred,] \blackrule[width=4cm,height=4cm,color=dtkredlight] \stoptext I could also reproduce it with a short setup: \setupcolors[state=start,rgb=no] % rgb= no needed in MkII \definespotcolor[dtkred] [red][p=1.0] \definespotcolor[dtkredlight][red][p=0.7] \starttext \blackrule[width=4cm,height=4cm,color=dtkred,] \blackrule[width=4cm,height=4cm,color=dtkredlight] \stoptext With the setting rgb=yes the color dtkred is correct in the output but dtkredlight is darker than dtkred, with the setting rgb=no dtkred is black in my document.
