urgent reference problem (full path)
by Steffen Wolfrum 24 Apr '08

24 Apr '08

Hi, my current project is set up like shown below. A serious problem is the section-reference: while section numbering should be in general (text and TOC) without previous number, it must show the full path when referenced (otherwise nobody will find "2"). Is there help? Thank you very much, Steffen \definehead[EbeneEins] [chapter] \setupsection[section-3][conversion=Characters,previousnumber=no] \setupsection[section-4][conversion=Romannumerals,previousnumber=no] \setupsection[section-5][conversion=numbers,previousnumber=no] % %\setupsection[section-3][conversion=Characters,previousnumber=yes] %\setupsection[section-4][conversion=Romannumerals,previousnumber=yes] %\setupsection[section-5][conversion=numbers,previousnumber=yes] %\def\NummerGewStyle{\switchtobodyfont[rm,10pt] \setupinterlinespace[line=12pt]\mr} \def\KapitelZweiCommand#1#2% {\vbox \bgroup \framed[align=middle,frame=off,offset=0pt,width=\textwidth] {Abschnitt #1\blank [6pt]}% \framed[align=middle,frame=off,offset=0pt,width=\textwidth]{#2}% \egroup} \setuphead[EbeneEins] [header=empty,page=yes,command= \KapitelZweiCommand ,style =,alternative=paragraph,before={\blank[24pt]},after={\blank[14pt]}] \starttext \EbeneEins{Eins} \subsection{Zuerst} \subsubsection{Test} \subsubsection[MyRef]{Here reference test} \subsubsection{Test} \subsection{Danach} \subsubsection{Test} \subsubsection{Test} \section{Zwei} \subsection{Und dann} \subsubsection{Test} In \in[MyRef] % should be: Abschnitt 1 I.2 \stoptext

Now all we need is something called \Monthshort which puts the first letter in uppercase (Jan, Feb etc)!!! Thanks, Richard

MetaPost v1.003: graph package broken
by Stephan Hennig 24 Apr '08

24 Apr '08

A note from the MetaPost developers: We have noticed an incompatibility between the latest MetaPost v1.003 and the graph package. Severity is considered high, since it prevents compilation of even the most simple figures. The problem is identified and a fix is under way. A workaround is not possible. Users of the graph package should not update to MetaPost v1.003. MetaPost versions 1.002 and prior are not affected. Best regards, Stephan Hennig On behalf of the MetaPost development team

Letter module: Public version available
by Wolfgang Schuster 24 Apr '08

24 Apr '08

Hi all, although a got a lot of input for the module in my last I decided now to make a first version available to the public. It will give you the chance to test the user interface and play with the layout settings. Styles for other countries than germany are missing in the current release but I hope I could add them in the next few days. You could also take a look at the first draft of my manual I will also fill in the weeks with your questions and my answer and examples of the different layouts. I put also a third file on the page for Peter and Wolfgang. @Peter: You could take a look at letter-17.tex, I wrote a first version for page optimation of the output, feel free to change optimize.nle or to add additional methods. @Wolfgang: Support for address files KOMA-Script is in a very early state and I have to provide a generic interface but you could try example letter-16.tex for the moment. I will put new versions for the moment under the following url: http://wolfgang.schuster.googlepages.com/letter Wolfgang

question about mplib/mkiv
by Thomas A. Schmitz 24 Apr '08

24 Apr '08

Hi, for my presentations, I have a graphical counter on every slide, so metapost has to write a graphic for every slide/page that ConTeXt produces. This works with mkii, but when I process my file in mkiv, I get this error after page 16: report >> error: 15 output files written: .. Transcript written on mpout.log. Memory size overflow! [15.15] report >> error: no-term no-error report >> error: no-term no-error report >> error: no-term no-error report >> error: no-term no-error report >> error: no-term no-error [16.16] report >> error: no-term no-error report >> error: no-term no-error report >> error: no-term no-error report >> error: no-term no-error report >> error: no-term no-error [17.17] Is there any way that I can influence the memory size? 15 doesn't seem like a whole lot... Best Thomas

Minimals - how to use?
by David 24 Apr '08

24 Apr '08

Hi all (and thanks for the help lately with tables etc.) I have been running mkiv on a mac (powerpc, OS 10.4) with no problems, in conjunction with a TeXLive installation. I have updated this setup several times, by downloading the latest luatex and latest context from their respective sites, and following instructions previously sent to this list regarding making files executable and creating a couple of links. Lately, it seems that minimals from the contextgarden wiki are becoming the accepted standard, so I decided to switch. I downloaded the first-run script, ran it, it successfully downloaded all the components to a directory. Now my stupid question: How do I actually *use* the minimal ConTeXt installation? Thanks David
