Flow chart does no longer put comments under connections
by berend＠pobox.com 04 Dec '09

04 Dec '09

Hi All, I'm using ConTeXt on an Ubuntu 9.10 system. $ texexec --version TeXExec | version 6.2.0 - 1997-2006 - PRAGMA ADE/POD The log file says: This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6) (format=cont-en 2009.8.3) 1 DEC 2009 15:10 ConTeXt ver: 2008.05.21 15:21 MKII fmt: 2009.8.3 int: english/english It appears connection comments do not work in this version. For example the more sophisticated example from here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Flow_Charts ignores the comments. See attachment (if that survives this emailing list). So basically this: \connection[rl] {lowpass1} \comment[t]{$x(t)$} \comment[b]{$X(t)$} does not work. You get the line, but not the comments. So basically two questions: 1. This used to work (Ubuntu 8.04). Is the problem solved in any newer version of ConTeXt? 2. If so, is there a way I can upgrade from within Ubuntu? -- All the best, Berend de Boer

About \version[temporary]
by Otared Kavian 04 Dec '09

04 Dec '09

Hi all, I have a question which can be elementary, but nevertheless it has some importance… When using cross references, one can somehow « visualize » the list of the cross references on each page with the command \version[temporary] However, in mkii at least, the list of the references is placed at the top of the page in the right margin and this is not very convenient when proof reading, especially in mathematical articles. It would be more handy to have each reference in the left (or right) margin of the line where it is defined or where it is invoked with the command « \in ». However I didn't manage to understand how this behaviour can be changed (various attempts with \setuplist[references] had no effect). (By the way, in mkiv, the list is not shown). Can anyone give an insight?

bibliography authoryears problem
by Michael Green 04 Dec '09

04 Dec '09

When using refcommand=authoryears and Mk IV the first reference is formatted incorrectly. There is the left parenthesis, then a line break, then the rest of the reference followed by the right parenthesis. With MkII it comes out correctly. And in MkIV, every reference except the first is correct. This is similar to a problem reported in another thread, but I don't see how the resolution proposed there applies here. http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20091116.073439.c2549ecb.en.html It isn't a crucial thing for me. I can use MkII when I need to use this citation style. I'm just submitting this as a possible bug report. This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.46.0-2009112820 \write18 enabled. (bib-test.tex ConTeXt ver: 2009.12.01 17:09 MKIV fmt: 2009.12.1 int: english/ english I'm attaching three files: the source, the bibliography, and the pdf output that I get.

simpleslides: titlestyle

Hi, The simpleslides module seems to be ignoring the titlestyle (by default \switchtobodyfont[\TitleSize]) and titlecolor parameters. Minimal example: generic-talk-15min-45min.tex (tex/texmf-context/doc/context/third/simpleslides/solutions) Alan

This works. But this is blocking the scite-console, which I need for a couple of other things. Can I P L E A S E have my good old texshow.pl back?

problem with texmf-local on Vista
by Christopher G D Tipper 04 Dec '09

04 Dec '09

Hi, I am a user of Context from the old days, and usually don't need much help installing the software. However, I am needing to use Contextminimals for the first time, as Miktex 2.8 has dropped Context support. My problem is that I have a lot of my own setups and personal fonts and Contextminimals seems to have some problem dealing with local setups. I am using MkII by the way but these problems seem to exist in MkIV also. I have a font, Univers, installed to texmf-local with texfont and Context claims it cannot find the font definitions. running texexec I get the following: !pdfTeX error: pdftex.exe (file 8r-raw-punr8a): Font 8r-raw-punr8a at 432 not found ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced! TeXExec | runtime: 10.311 ConTeXt Full finished at Sun Nov 29 21:58:36 Then from command prompt, I type: C:\Users\Christopher>kpsewhich 8r-raw-punr8a.tfm c:/context/texmf-local/fonts/tfm/adobe/univers/8r-raw-punr8a.tfm I know this is not strictly relevant to MkII, but for comparison: C:\Users\Christopher>luatools --expand-path TEXMFLOCAL c:/context/texmf-local Also C:\Users\Christopher>texexec --version TeXExec | version 6.2.1 - 1997-2009 - PRAGMA ADE/POD C:\Users\Christopher>context --version MTXrun | main context file: c:/context/texmf-context/tex/context/base/context.te x MTXrun | current version: 2009.10.27 16:35 How do I get Context to recognise the local setup?

But isn't it wrong to reset a counter who doesn't even exist with chapter start? Why not do the same check with setnumber? Gruß, Wolfgang

Re: [NTG-context] bibliography authoryears problem
by Michael Green 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

I should have mentioned that there's a similar problem with refcommand=authoryear (my previous post concerned refcommand=authoryears). Using Mk IV, the first citation is preceded with a new line. Mk II behaves appropriately. And all citations other than the first one are formatted correctly by Mk IV. This is quite similar to the problem I reported with refcommand=authoryears. In both cases, only the first citation is wrong and the error in both cases involves a line break. Perhaps they have a related cause. Happy hunting! mjg Samples are attached.
