Hi, I'm trying to figure out the meaning and use of the c! and v! prefixes in commands in, for example, the layo-xx.tex source files at http://context.aanhet.net/svn/manuals/context/ aka... \setupcolors [\c!state=\v!start] \setupsystem [\c!random=\v!big] \setuplayout [\c!location=\v!middle, \c!style=\ss, \c!backspace=2.5cm, \c!topspace=1.5cm, \c!width=16cm, \c!margindistance=.25cm, \c!margin=2.5cm, \c!height=\v!middle] :Oo ?

For ex. I have cyrillic capital a in font on 00C1 where in pdfr-def this is Aacute. According to enco-utf my 00C1 in font should map to 0410 position (I hope this is understandable description). Maybe there is some switch to enable such mapping? I don't understand these encoding/mapping issues enough to create necessary table myself. Maybe you can provide some example, so I will be able to help? P. S. Sorry for late response. -- Best Regards, Oleg Kolosov

pdf bizareness...
by Alan Stone 28 Jun '08

28 Jun '08

Hi, - ConTeXt ver: 2008.06.22 17:38 MKII fmt: 2008.6.23 ( ctx minimal) - XeTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.2-0.999.1 (Web2C 7.5.6) When using (1) \setupinteraction[state=start, title={éèçàù}, subtitle={éèçàù}, author={éèçàù}, keyword={éèçàù}] the accented characters get al scrambled up in the pdf document properties fields while in the document itself all is ok. Qué passa ? (2) \pdfminorversion=5 (or whatever) gives ! Undefined control sequence. l.31 \pdfminorversion =5 ? ! Emergency stop. l.31 \pdfminorversion =5 What's the alternative ? Thanks, Alan

texshow-web questions
by richard.stephens＠converteam.com 27 Jun '08

27 Jun '08

As an eternal optimist, I often refer to texshow-web in the hope that I will find a function to help me, or a quick description of one that I already know. In most cases I end up reverting to searching the manuals and source code. I like the idea of texshow-web and I sometimes add notes to entries if I find our something interesting. I would be quite happy to add lots more, but I have some questions and suggestions for improvements which I think would help. 1) Is there a way of adding a function to the list? or can it be updated to include all the functions from the many macro packages included with the context distribution. For example, in recent discussion group threads I have found out about the \digits command and the \filename and \hyphenatedfilename commands, none of which is in texshow-web. I would have been happy to add notes on them if I could. 2) If I'm adding notes to a command, is it possible to add a URL link to a particular page in one of the manuals? This would great for looking up a command and going straight to the relevant entry in the relevant manual. Regards, Richard Stephens

how to prevent document resize in acrobat reader when click on an ref object
by Jan-Erik Hägglöf 27 Jun '08

27 Jun '08

HI! I'm often use \setupinteraction[state=start] \setupcolor[state=start] \starttext \placesomething[somewhere][ref]{caption} ... ... So in the text I refer to \in{something}[ref] so I can click on it in the resulting pdf so I get there. \stoptext The question is how to change the default behavior so acrobat not resizes the document on the screen when I'm clicking on the ref object. I think it is annoying changing back to the reading size I had before. Many thanks! Janneman

Setting up minimals (saw: Re: distro info)
by Andrea Valle 27 Jun '08

27 Jun '08

Hi to all, Ok, I'm going for minimals (hurray!) > > cd /path/to/some/folder > rsync -ptv rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/first-setup.sh . > ./first-setup.sh Perfect. Under Applications now I have a ConTeXtMinimals folder containg relevant stuff (tex+bin folders, a .lua and the .sh file). > > Alternatively, you may use > > cd /path/to/some/folder > . setuptex I'd prefer to go with this, locally. So in terminal I did: cd /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/ . setuptex ahem, - what have I to do now? andrea:/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals andreavalle$ context -bash: context: command not found - If I have understood, "context" calls luatex, am I right? - I can call texexec but I'm not sure I'm calling the minimal one. > System fonts on Mac should work by default since a few days ago. - This means I can use something like this if I call the xtx switch?: \definetypeface[Optima][rm][Xserif][Optima] \definetypeface[Optima][tt][Xmono][LM Typewriter Regular] \definetypeface[Garamond][rm][Xserif][Garamond] \setupbodyfont[Optima] - How does font selection work under luatex? - What have I to do to use bibtex?

hyphenation question
by Alan Stone 26 Jun '08

26 Jun '08

In a document where \mainlanguage[fr] some words weren't hyphenated correctly so I've put them in a hyphenation pattern \hyphenation{ ap-pa-ren-ce at-ten-dai-ent com-men-cent d'am-bi-tion d'in-flu-en-ce l'ap-pa-ren-ce } The only ones who still don't get hyphenated corresponding to the above pattern are those with d'..., l'... Porqué ? Alan
