Help watned for numbered descriptions
by Otared Kavian 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

Hi all, I need help for the following situation: in a maths paper I would like to have Definitions, Lemmas, Theorems, etc, numbered in a sequential way in each section if any, the numbers being set before the header, and also to be able to refer to them through cross references. For instance, when there is indeed at least a section, in section 1, I would like to have something like 1.1 Definition. Here is the text of the definition in slanted style. … some text… 1.2 Lemma. Here is the text of the lemma in slanted style. …some text… 1.3 Theorem. Here is the text of the theorem in slanted style. …some text… 1.4 Corollary. Here is the text of the corollary in slanted style. And if there is no section at all: 1. Definition. Here is the text of the definition in slanted style. … some text… 2. Lemma. Here is the text of the lemma in slanted style. …some text… 3. Theorem. Here is the text of the theorem in slanted style. …some text… 4. Corollary. Here is the text of the corollary in slanted style. One way would be to define 4 descriptions or enumerations with \definedescription or \defineenumeration but then I don't know how to have numbers incremented in a sequential way in all these descriptions. Another issue with this approach would be that then if one wants to have for example a Conjecture or a Guess, one has to define a new description or enumeration. Has anyone run into such a situation? The example below shows what I need to do (but actually I wasn't able to add the section number as a prefix to the number…). Best regards: OK %%%% begin \newcounter\Lemmacount \setcounter\Lemmacount1 \def\Lemmanumber% {\global\increment\Lemmacount {\bf \Lemmacount.~}} \def\startLemma#1% {\blank \Lemmanumber~{\bf #1.} \start\sl} \def\stopLemma% {\blank \stop} \starttext Some text before the numbered descriptions start. \startLemma{Definition} This is the first numbered definition; it's short. \stopLemma Here some more text\dots and then a lemma: \startLemma{Lemma} This is another numbered definition. It's long enough to wrap around onto more than one line, so as to show that these can be numbered and contain as well blank lines and formulas \startformula a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \stopformula And some comment after the formula. \stopLemma And here is the remainder of the text\dots \stoptext %%%% end

Hello, Nesting \placesidebyside inside \startcombination\stopcombination appears to throw-off the spacing.

Hallo, I can't find a file 'texshow.pl' anymore at my context tree. Is the file excluded in actual minimals? Wolfgang

Same question as the previous one applies > when NNBSP are already there… it depends to what extend you want context to clean up and optimize spacing; it can be that 202F is there for other purposes (and maybe not even consistently used as it is kind of invisible); so it should probababluy configurable (we have already some modes) > And the last question of the day ;) : … expends to . . . with > french.

latest beta and file mismatch problem
by Bowen Alan C. 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

I have just installed the latest beta (minimals) and updated my .bash_profile (as advised) so that it now reads: . /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/setuptex /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin When I try to compile any file, I get: FatalError : Your format does not match the base files! FormatVersion : 2009.11.26 16:28 MKII FilesVersion : 2009.12.01 00:14 How do I fix this? (texexec --make --all did not do the trick.) Alan

verb-pl.mkii

Hallo, this seems to be a little bug! Inside 'verb-jv.mkii' should 'verb-pl.mkii' be loaded, but it isn't because of not having a standard extension. Wolfgang

Thanks to Otared and Dick Koch, I now have MKII up and running again. The primary change in TeXshop involved setting the path in Preferences/Engine to /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin. for the MKII engine, Otared suggested #!/bin/bash source /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/setuptex texexec "$1" What would be best for the MKIV and XeTeX engines? Right now I have, MKIV #!/bin/bash export PATH=/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-64l/bin:$PATH export TEXMFCACHE=/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-cache context "$1" XeTeX #!/bin/bash export PATH=/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin:$PATH texexec --xtx "$1" Alan

auto-sizing of nested parentheses
by commb07＠googlemail.com 02 Dec '09

02 Dec '09

hi, is there a way to let ConTeXt make nested parentheses bigger automatically (based on level of nesting)? if you have like (((((..).)..))..), it is very hard to read if all parentheses are the same size. tobias

inothermargin overlaps
by Matthijs Kooijman 02 Dec '09

02 Dec '09

Hi all, I've been using \inmargin to put some stuff in the margin of my text, but when I use multiple \inmargin's close together, the stuff in the margin will overlap. Is there any way to let ConTeXt just move things down to prevent overlap? I'm not forced to move my \inmargin's around, guessing where the line wraps will be, which is not quite elegant and a lot of work... Gr. Matthijs
