luatools cache problem (beta)
by Peter Rolf 16 Jul '08

16 Jul '08

hi, i'm currently running the context beta from 07.07.2008 with the windows minimals from 10.07.2008. all my (quick) tries to update to a later beta version have failed. my main problem is, that luatools.lua doesn't work properly any more; if i start 'luatools --generate' inside eshell (zshell clone?) the program simply hangs (does nothing). if i use the normal dos box with setuptex.bat i get ----- R:\tex\texmf-context\scripts\context\lua>luatools --generate LuaTools | variable SELFAUTOLOC set to r:/tex/texmf-mswin/bin LuaTools | variable SELFAUTODIR set to r:/tex/texmf-mswin LuaTools | variable SELFAUTOPARENT set to r:/tex LuaTools | variable TEXMFCNF set to r:\tex\texmf{-local,-context,}/web2c LuaTools | loading r:/tex/texmf-context/web2c/texmf.cnf LuaTools | loading r:/tex/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf Should I create the cache path r:/tex/texmf-cache?

[yes|no] [no] fatal error: there is no valid (writable) cache path defined ----- mh, the path r:/tex/texmf-cache is already present and writable. also it doesn't have any effect if i answer yes or no. best wishes, peter ----------------------------- You give a man an inch and he thinks he is a ruler.

Using fontfeatures ...
by Willi Egger 16 Jul '08

16 Jul '08

Hi, I am trying to use fontfeatures contained in my new otf-font Seravek. I am getting Seravek in the file but no way to activate the oldstyle figures and the small caps. :-( Can someone give m a clue? Willi I got until now the following typescript: % \definefontfeature % [OldstyleFigures] % [language=nld,script=latn,mode=node,calt=no,clig=yes,rlig=yes,onum=yes] \starttypescript [sans] [seravek] \definefontsynonym [SeravekBasic-Roman] [file:SeravekBasic- Regular] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SeravekBasic-Bold] [file:SeravekBasic- Bold] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SeravekBasic-Italic] [file:SeravekBasic- RegularItalic][features=default] \definefontsynonym [SeravekBasic-Bold-Italic][file:SeravekBasic- BoldItalic] [features=default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [sans] [seravek] [name] \definefontsynonym [Sans] [SeravekBasic-Roman] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SansItalic] [SeravekBasic-Italic] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SansBold] [SeravekBasic-Bold] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SansBoldItalic] [SeravekBasic-Bold-Italic] [features=default] \definefontsynonym [SansRegularCaps] [Sans] [features=smallcaps] % \definefontsynonym [SansBoldCaps] [SansBold] [features=smallcaps] % \definefontsynonym [SansItalicCaps] [SansItalic] [features=smallcaps] % \definefontsynonym [SansBoldItalicCaps] [SansBoldItalic] [features=smallcaps] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [Seravek] \definetypeface [Seravek] [ss] [sans][seravek][default] \definetypeface [Seravek] [mm] [math] [modern][default] \stoptypescript I tried this with the following test-code: \setupoutput[pdftex] \enableregime[utf] % \definefontfeature % [OldstyleFigures] % [language=nld,script=latn,mode=node,calt=no,clig=yes,rlig=yes,onum=yes] \definefontfeature[default] [method=node,script=latn,language=dflt,liga=yes,onum=yes,kern=yes] \usetypescriptfile[seravek] \usetypescript[Seravek] \setupbodyfont[Seravek,12pt] % \def\sc{\setfontfeature{smcp}} % \def\os{\setfontfeature{onum}} \starttext Hello World! {\sc ABC abc} {\os 123} 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 \blank {\sc Hello World!} \blank {\bf Hello World! {\sc ABC abc} {\os 123} 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9} \blank {\it Hello World! {\sc ABC abc} {\os 123} 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9} \blank \bi Hello World {\sc ABC abc} {\os 123} 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9! \stoptext

Part dividers, American style.
by John Culleton 16 Jul '08

16 Jul '08

Per the Chicago Manual of Style divider pages and their blank versos do not show page numbers but are included in the page count, just like any other pages. However the \part macro excludes them from the page numbering sequence altogether. And my current customer at least wants roman rather than arabic numerals. After many false starts I came up with this macro: ------------------------------------------------------------- \def\Part#1#2#3{% \page[yes] \ifodd\pageno \else \noheaderandfooterlines \null \page[yes] \fi \noheaderandfooterlines \writetolist[part]{}{#1: #2 #3} \nimbux \null \vskip 2in \centerline{Part #1} \vskip 15pt \centerline{#2} \vskip 15pt \centerline{#3} \vfil \rm \page[yes] } ---------------------------------------------- The first parameter is the roman numeral. Automatic numbering is not needed for just five parts. Note colon inserted for the TOC. It isn't needed on the page itself. If the part title is short then the third parameter is simply left blank. \nimbux has a simple font defintition. A typesectipt would have been too much effort for this single use: \font\nimbux texnansi-n019044t at 33bp %Nimbus bold sans condensed -- John Culleton Resources for every author and publisher: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf http://www.creativemindspress.com/newbiefaq.htm http://www.gropenassoc.com/TopLevelPages/reference%20desk.htm

(resend: didn't get through yesterday) Thanks a lot Wolfgang. There's still something I don't understand... Why does this not compile then: see the (new) attachements ? Alan

bib module and interaction
by Aditya Mahajan 16 Jul '08

16 Jul '08

Hi, I cannot find an option to enable interaction with the bib module. I want \cite[ref] to create a forward link to the bibliography where the reference appears. Is this supported by t-bib? Aditya

ConTeXt modules on CTAN (authors, please check)
by Mojca Miklavec 15 Jul '08

15 Jul '08

Hello, The ConTeXt modules are now mirrored on CTAN, but they might be lacking better descriptions in the catalogue. Authors of modules - please check. > i've catalogued all but one of the new entries. my catalogue to-do file > says: > > macros/context/contrib/context-account done (no licence) > macros/context/contrib/context-inifile [m"unster, gpl] > macros/context/contrib/context-letter done (no licence) > macros/context/contrib/context-sgf done (no licence) > macros/context/contrib/context-tas-presentation done > macros/context/contrib/context-vim done > > as you see, i can't find licence details for -account, -letter and -sgf. (I think they are all public domain, but the request to check is still valid.) Mojca

Bibliography inside .tex file
by Maurício 15 Jul '08

15 Jul '08

Hi, I've read about \usemodule[bib], and I learned how to create .bbl file. However, I would like to insert my bibliographic references inside my .tex file, not in an external file. Is it possible to do that? Thanks, Maurício

Directly checking out http://context.aanhet.net/svn?
by Oliver Buerschaper 15 Jul '08

15 Jul '08

Dear Hans and Taco, is it possible to checkout things from the http://context.aanhet.net/svn/ repository directly with svn? I tried this with an SVN client and got the error PROPFIND request failed on '/svn' PROPFIND of '/svn': 301 Moved Permanently (http://context.aanhet.net) Would be extremely helpful though to have (anonymous checkout) access … Cheerio, Oliver

showbody* commands for non-bodyfonts ?
by Alan Stone 14 Jul '08

14 Jul '08

Hi, When using more than one font in a document, what is the corresponding \showbodyfont command for the non-bodyfont(s) ? I tried \showbodyfont[bodyfont] (1) \showbodyfont[non-bodyfont] (2) and only (1) gets processed and displayed. Same question for \showbodyfontenvironment. Alan
