defineenumeration
by batela 22 Feb '09

22 Feb '09

Dear Sirs, I need to define a enumeration with the text label = "Remark". For that I define \defineenumeration[Remark][text=Remark]. The label for the subRemark should be "subRemark". Is there a easy way to do that? The subRemark is a son of Remark and the numeration expected is: Remark 1 subRemark 1.1 subRemark 1.2 Remark 2 subRemark 2.1 .... thanks Have a nice day

Cyrillic fonts
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 22 Feb '09

> > no. also, times is even older than lm -) > > i'd like to default to optima nova or palatino nova but that's no option > for most users either because these are commercial fonts > Thank you, Hans. But my argument for default Times (or other font) is that it supports Cyrillic, while LM does not. I think that Cyrillic users deserve to be able write something like \starttext Привет мир! (Hello World) \stoptext and get right output with no setup. My another question remains: how to use other Gyre fonts in most simple way? Best, Vyactheslav

Hi, BF = body font HF = head font A = arial T = times new roman V = verdana OT = 12 = 12pt OF = 14 = 14pt See comments in fontswitch.tex In attachment... - fontswitch.tex: minimal example - tps_arial.tex, tps_timesnewroman.tex, tps_verdana.tex: typescripts - fontswitch.log for BFT14 + HFV14 -> font error ( same with BFA14 + HFV14 ) - fontswitch.pdf for BFT14 + HFV14 : chapter head is blank ( same with BFA14 + HFV14 ) After testing different font(switching) combinations... - BFA14 or BFT14 + HFVx with x not 14pt compile and print the generated pdf fine - BFV14 + HFV14 compiles and prints the generated pdf fine - BFA12, BFT12, BFV12 + HFV14 or HFV12 compile and print the generated pdf fine Qué passa ?

Instalation of minimal
by Maurício 21 Feb '09

21 Feb '09

Hi, Is information on this page http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals still valid? After following instructions and successfull (I think) rsync sessions I try: source ~/context/tex/setuptex ~/context/tex and I'm told ~/context/tex is not a valid TeX directory. I also tried downloading a 'linux.zip' from http://minimals.contextgarden.net/pragma and it says the same. It also complains about a missing 'plain.tex'. What is the easier way to install MK IV? I usually use ConTeXt that comes with Ubuntu, I just need MK IV in one session where I need to type unicode characters by their number. (A previous message from Hans says \char"2019 would work for sure in MK IV.) Thanks, Maurício

bold with type?
by Jean Magnan de Bornier 21 Feb '09

21 Feb '09

Hi all, I need to have bold characters with type. I tried what is said here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Bold_typewriter but cmttb is not on my machine (TexLive 2008 ), and context or texexec are complaining; only the umtypewriter family seems to have bold faces, but it's a bit too ugly for me :-( Any idea? tia, -- Jean

Vertical lines for tabulate
by Wolfgang Schuster 21 Feb '09

21 Feb '09

Hi, there was a question in the german TeX newgroupd how create a table with borders on all which allows one to split the content at the end of the page. Although he used LaTeX I was looking for a ConTeXt solution, splitting the content is possible with tabulate but vertical lines are a problem. A found a solution with textackground but it did only work for the longest column. I guess I can solve it with twopass data but does any of you know a simpler solution. \definetextbackground [tableframe] [background=, location=paragraph, leftoffset=.5em] \starttext \starttabulate[|j0p(2cm)|i0p|] \NC \starttableframe knuth \stoptableframe \NC \starttableframe \input knuth \stoptableframe \NC\NR \NC \starttableframe tufte \stoptableframe \NC \starttableframe \input tufte \stoptableframe \NC\NR \NC \starttableframe ward \stoptableframe \NC \starttableframe \input ward \stoptableframe \NC\NR \NC \starttableframe zapf \stoptableframe \NC \starttableframe \input zapf \stoptableframe \NC\NR \NC \starttableframe knuth \stoptableframe \NC \starttableframe \input knuth \stoptableframe \NC\NR \NC \starttableframe tufte \stoptableframe \NC \starttableframe \input tufte \stoptableframe \NC\NR \NC \starttableframe ward \stoptableframe \NC \starttableframe \input ward \stoptableframe \NC\NR \NC \starttableframe zapf \stoptableframe \NC \starttableframe \input zapf \stoptableframe \NC\NR \stoptabulate \stoptext Wolfgang

Nested sections in interface=xp?
by Kevin D. Robbins 21 Feb '09

21 Feb '09

I'm interested to know whether nested sections are supported in the new structure code (strc-*)? Using the following to test, I don't get a section and subsection, but rather two sections. The log file notes a "missing \stopsection". \starttext \startsection{Section} \input tufte \startsection{Subsection} \input knuth \stopsection \stopsection \stoptext Am I missing a setup command somewhere in the new structure code that enables nested sections? Thanks, Kevin

Dera Maur??cio, I am sorry to write your name with "??" mark. It is displayed in my computer with ?? I think that wiki's guide is still valid.
