Are the sources for the ConTeXt manuals publicly available? If not, are you willing to show how the beautiful title page, contents, and section headings are defined for "ConTeXt: the manual"? Thanks. -Tom

New context release
by Taco Hoekwater 18 Apr '08

18 Apr '08

Hi, Hot on the heels of the luatex 0.25.3 release Hans has released (yet another) new context current (the sixth or seventh this week). There are a few bugfixes for the mkiv bugs reported yesterday, but that's about it. If you are curious anyway: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Release_Notes Unless there is a massive outcry (unlikely), this release goes to CTAN in less than an hour. Have fun, Taco

t-bib and interactivity for url= and doi=
by Tobias Burnus 18 Apr '08

18 Apr '08

Hi, in principle, I expect that with the following setup I should be able to click on a DOI or on a URL, however, somehow they do not seem to be interactive - and the DOI does not seem to be hyphenated agressively as it sometimes extends beyond the page margin. Any idea? I use the following settings (without "\startenvironment" etc.) \setupinteraction[state=start] \usemodule[bib] \setuppublications[alternative=aps] \setuppublicationlist[interaction=start] \chardef\urlhyphenmethod=1 % Hyphenate very agressively (=1), use =0 for default \unprotect \setuppublicationlayout[article]{% [...] \insertdoi{ DOI: }{.}{}% \insertbiburl{ }{.}{}% } \unprotect Tobias

announce of new version of Context Minimals Installer for Windows
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 17 Apr '08

17 Apr '08

Hello I've commited new version of Context Minimals Installer for Windows. http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/context-installer/ContextMinimalIns… Added possibility to select between Beta and Stable (current) version + new rsync + internal changes. --- The question to Hans: why --force switch is now required for mtx-update script? And why it reloads all files, not synchronize them? -- Best regards Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky

mswincontext.zip
by Idris Samawi Hamid 17 Apr '08

17 Apr '08

Dear gang, There has not been an update to mswincontext.zip since last August... Are there any plans to update this? For years now mswincontext.zip has been my one and only TeX distribution. With the new TeX-Gyre and Latin Modern fonts, as well as the rest of our developments, I think the time is way overdue for a new release. And it is safer to install a fresh distribution than to muck around with replacing the fonts etc. Any news?

Strange problem with metapost graphics
by Jean Magnan de Bornier 17 Apr '08

17 Apr '08

Hi all, Here is minimal example of some trouble I have: ................................... \startMPinclusions numeric u; u=1cm; \stopMPinclusions \starttext \startuseMPgraphic{dummy} drawarrow (0,0)..(8u,0); label.bot(\sometxt{temps}, (7u,-.5u)); \stopuseMPgraphic \placefigure[fig:Uncontratdanslaflèchedutemps]{Un contrat dans la flèche du temps}{\useMPgraphic{dummy}} \startuseMPgraphic{ummy} pair A[]; A[0]:=(-1u, -1u); A[1]:=( 6u, -1u); A[2]:=( 6u, 4u); A[3]:=(-1u, 4u); draw A[0]--A[1]--A[2]--A[3]--cycle withpen pencircle scaled 1pt; label.bot(\sometxt{Dupont}, A[0]); label.top(\sometxt{Smith}, A[2]); \stopuseMPgraphic \placefigure[fig:Boîte d'Edgeworth]{Boîte d'Edgeworth}{\useMPgraphic{ummy}} \stoptext ................................. The trouble is that this compiles nicely with pdftex, a little less nicely with xetex, and badly with luatex, tested at home and on context live. - xetex: the label in the first graphic appears with bad size. - luatex: first label in the second graphic appears with bad size and font, and second label disappears; but if I comment out the label in the first graphic, the second graphic is as expected. Any idea? -- Jean

Windows tools in XeTeX - what do they do?
by Mojca Miklavec 17 Apr '08

17 Apr '08

Hello, There are some new executables in w32tex's XeTeX. sfconv.exe teckit_compile.exe txtconv.exe What are they used for (I have no windows computer here to try)? So far, I only kept extracting the following files: fc-cache.exe fc-list.exe icudt38.dll kpathsea35671.dll msvcp71.dll msvcr71.dll xdvipdfmx.exe xetex.dll xetex.exe and wonder whether the other files are needed too or not. Thanks, Mojca
