disturbing the hyphenation mechanism
by Steffen Wolfrum 27 Aug '08

27 Aug '08

Hi, please have a look at the following – the "wondering" doesn't brake anymore thanks to the "kern": \starttext \showframe \enableregime[utf] blablabla blablabla blablabla blablabla blablabla blablabla blabla blablabla „{\kern-0.025em}wondering \stoptext I have read an e-mail by Hans from 2003 when he said "well, it's just like that". But time has passed. Is there a solution today in MkIV or even in MkII ? Thank you, Steffen

no star in itemize with luatex
by Mikael Persson 27 Aug '08

27 Aug '08

Hello, running the file %%% \starttext \startitemize[3] \item Hello world! \stopitemize \stoptext %%% in luatex, I did expect to get a star and then Hello world! However, I got something like \perp instead of the star. It works with pdftex. I also tried with some other fonts with same failing result. I run the latest minimal context and also tried this at the contextgarden with the same result. Any solutions around? Best wishes, Mikael

ConTeXt Minimals on Mac
by Alan Bowen 26 Aug '08

26 Aug '08

I have installed the Context Minimals following the newbie instructions on the wiki at contextgarden for Mac users. The instructions themselves are clear but should perhaps be updated: • the file originally downloaded is first-setup.sh not first-setup.tsh • to execute this file run ./first-setup.sh not first-setup.sh (at least, the former worked and did not return a “command not found” message). I also configured TeXShop as instructed. But now when I try to typeset a file, I get the error message: Users/alancbowen/Library/TeXShop/Engines/ConTeXtMinimals.engine does not have the executable bit set. How can I fix this? Alan Note: I am running Mac OS X 10.5.4.

\reference, \goto(box)

Hi, Win XP - ConTeXt minimal: ConTeXt ver: 2008.08.18 14:00 MKIV fmt: 2008.8.22 int: english/english What has changed with the \reference and/or \goto(box) commands ? I'm getting fatal compile errors related to these while there weren't none previously ( that was under Linux, but shouldn't make any difference ). Thanks, Alan

mtxrun question
by Patrick Gundlach 26 Aug '08

26 Aug '08

Hi, I tried to find a tfm file, so I typed in ~$ mtxrun --locate texnansi-demofont.tfm and I got ...k/TeX/context/minimal/tex/texmf-osx-intel/bin/mtxrun:6898: attempt to index local 'files' (a nil value) what does that mean? Is the syntax I've used correct? Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki and more: http://contextgarden.net

feature request: \setuptyping[ignorefirstspace=yes]
by Peter Münster 25 Aug '08

25 Aug '08

Hello, Something like \setuptyping[ignorefirstspace=yes] would be nice, to be able to format the source text with indentation but let the typing environment ignore this indentation. Example: \setupcolors[state=start] \setuptyping[margin=3em, ignorefirstspace=yes] \starttext This: \starttyping some typing \stoptyping should be same as this: \starttyping some typing \stoptyping This: \startcolor[blue] \starttyping some typing \stoptyping \stopcolor should be same as this: \startcolor[blue] \starttyping some typing \stoptyping \stopcolor some text \stoptext Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

Put everything in ConTeXt.zip in the same folder you extracted mswincontext.zip (182 mb) then run NPP.bat. Make sure you adjust acrobat.lnk appriopriately as the path is hard-coded. And what OS are you using? Mohamed

Changing sections, formula,... numbering order
by Mehdi Omidali 23 Aug '08

23 Aug '08

Hi everyone, I want to use context+xetex for right-to-left typesetting and need to know if it is possible to use the command \pagedir TRT in this situation. (I tested that apparently only \pardir TRT is active). If the answer of the above question is negative I would like to know how can I change numbering direction of sections, formulas, etc. Thanks
