This is the log file. It's very small in size, so I don't thinks I should use some net storage service to upload it. Just see the attachment please. And I also attached the output pdf of the last helloworld test file. Thanks.

different behavior between context versions
by Yue Wang 22 Dec '08

22 Dec '08

Hi, Hans: issue 1: Using context 2005.01.30, \indenting[yes] doesn't indent the first paragraph. however, the latest version do. I think this is a bug issue 2: Using context 2008.09.xx, the space factor after period = 1 by default (frechspacing is enabled by default). however, it is not enabled by default now. (I think enable that is better). bug or feature? issue 3: when \setupbodyfont[ss], the equation number and braces are still in roman. I think it is better to change them according to main text font. issue 4: i think key-vals like \setupinteraction[focus=standard] and \setupformulae[indentnext=auto] should be documented in quick reference or something.

Greek module problem
by Alan Bowen 20 Dec '08

20 Dec '08

I recently updated to Thomas’ latest Greek module and to the system software (Mac OS 10.5.6), and am now am getting errors indicating that the .enc files are not being found. I checked cont-sys.tex and see that \autoloadmapfilestrue is set. But running “texhash” gets a “command not found” message. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am using the most recent ConTeXt minimals and Mark II on a Mac. The minimals themselves are in /Applications. Alan

It also render the fonts in my document correctly even I do not have these fonts installed in the operating system. here is a screen shot: http://yulewang.googlepages.com/Untitled.png wouldn't it be great if we add this feature to live.contextgarden.net?

Bib module and prefix=+
by Robin Kirkham 19 Dec '08

19 Dec '08

Hi, How can the bib module and \setuphead[chapter][prefix=+] be made to coexist? The following example works, but if you uncomment the \setuphead, the citations are broken and the reference list vanishes: \setupoutput[pdftex] % uncomment this line and it breaks %\setuphead[chapter][prefix=+] \usemodule[bib] \usemodule[bibltx] \setupbibtex[database={xampl.bib}] \setuppublications[refcommand=num] % makes no real difference %\setuppublicationlist[title=\chapter] \version[temporary] \starttext \chapter[chapt]{A Chapter} Some citations: \cite[article-full] \cite[inbook-full] \cite[manual- full]. This is chapter~\in[chapt]. \completepublications[criterium=all] \stoptext Any help much appreciated! PS: The following old mailing list article appears to describe the same problem, but the symptoms are different (citations disappear, but reference list does not) http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/ 20010516.173217.113e3787.en.html Robin

Attachment sizes
by Taco Hoekwater 18 Dec '08

18 Dec '08

Hi all, A quick note from your mailing list moderator. The maximum message size for this list is 64KB. Because pdf documents tend to be base64 encoded during email transport, this means that you cannot attach PDFs larger than approximately 40KB in file size. Please, will you keep that in mind while sending mails to ntg-context? Having to go through the moderation list and manually forwarding messages people is tedious and error prone. We will not change the size limit because there are quite a few people here on slow links. Besides, it will never be large enough anyway. When you do have a large file, please email it directly to the target persion (offlist), or, if it is meant for everybody, put it on a web or ftp site (if you have one) or upload it to the wiki: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Special:Upload Thanks in advance, Taco
