\externalfigure[eps file] does not work
by Xan 05 Oct '09

05 Oct '09

Hi, If I put \externalfigure[by.eps][width=2cm] I obtain "state=unknown" in the pdf. The by.eps is the file in http://creativecommons.org/about/downloads/. Is the eps format supported by ConTeXt? I use MKII. Thanks a lot, Xan.

Creating documents in a batch file
by Wolfgang Miurth 05 Oct '09

05 Oct '09

Hi, I tried to find out how to create pdf files from multiple sources in a batch file, but I could not find a solution. Always after the first document the batch files ends and no further documents are created. My Windows batch file looked like this (Every student has his own pdf file): >setlocal enabledelayedexpansion >call C:\Programme\context\tex\setuptex.bat C:\Programme\context >mtxrun.cmd --autogenerate --script context --batch --pdf student_1.tex >mtxrun.cmd --autogenerate --script context --batch --pdf student_2.tex >mtxrun.cmd --autogenerate --script context --batch --pdf student_3.tex >mtxrun.cmd --autogenerate --script context --batch --pdf student_4.tex I also tried texexec but without success. What am I doing wrong and how can I fix this? Thanks for your help. Wolfgang Murth

tex to txt/doc
by Ciro Soto 05 Oct '09

05 Oct '09

Is there any quick way to print the output of context in txt format? I could do: context-> pdf->txt, but may there is a direct way to do that...? I don't care about the formatting, it is just the text that I am interested in. The reason is that my editor does not understand context (or tex) so I send her txt (or doc) file for the editing. thank you Ciro

by Joshua Lee 04 Oct '09

Hi All, How to setup the complicated header/footer compared to LaTeX fancyhdr package? For example, how to use change line from the header/footer like follow LaTeX code? <code> \pagestyle{fancy} \headheight 35pt \fancyhf{} %delete current setting of header and footer \renewcommand{\sectionmark}[1]{\markright{\thesection\ #1}} \renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{1pt} \renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0.6pt} \lhead{\bfseries \rightmark} \chead{\textbf{\thepage}}% \rhead{\usebox{\mylogo}} \lfoot{} \cfoot{ \begin{tabular}{c} \textbf{Copyright 2009, My Company}\\ \small{You are free to copy, distribute, display, and perform the work}\\ \end{tabular}}% \rfoot{} </code> Thanks in advance. Best regards, Joshua

repeating numbers symbol
by Xan 04 Oct '09

04 Oct '09

Hi, Perhaps a simple question but how to put the symbol of the period in repeating numbers; for example 3,494949.... = 3,\what{49}. The symbol I refer is similar to \frown but in top of the numbers (like \hat) Thanks in advance, Xan.

framedtext in naturaltables

Hi, If I put \startframedtext[frame=off,background=screen,width=broad]....\stopframedtext in naturaltable, then I get that framed text passes table and that it aligns at top. Can you say me please how to get a right behaviour? An example: \placefigure [here,none] [fig:taula-roques-i-minerals] {Característiques de roques i minerals} {\bTABLE[frame=off,align=middle] \setupTABLE[1,2][1][leftframe=off,rightframe=off] \setupTABLE[r][2][topframe=on,bottomframe=on] \setupTABLE[c][1][rightframe=on] \setupTABLE[c][2][leftframe=on] \bTR[align=middle] \bTD[align=middle] {\sc {\blue{Minerals}}} \eTD \bTD[align=middle] {\sc {\blue{Roques}}} \eTD \eTR \bTR[align=middle] \bTD[align=middle,nc=2] {\sc Composició}: Les roques i els minerals estan formats per {\em \bf matèria inorgànica}, que és diferent de la matèria que compon els éssers vius \eTD \eTR \bTR[align=middle] \bTD {\sc Definició}: Els minerals són materials terrestres que formen les roques.
