I know it is fixed under Linux. Thanks. But on Windows, it is still broken: D:\Programs\context>first-setup.bat receiving incremental file list sent 91 bytes received 205 bytes 84.57 bytes/sec total size is 4983352 speedup is 16835.65 MTXrun | fileio: variable SELFAUTOLOC set to D:/Programs/context/bin MTXrun | fileio: variable SELFAUTODIR set to D:/Programs/context MTXrun | fileio: variable SELFAUTOPARENT set to D:/Programs MTXrun | fileio: variable TEXMFCNF set to {$SELFAUTODIR,$SELFAUTOPARENT}{,{/shar e,}/texmf{-local,.local,}/web2c} MTXrun | fileio: no cnf files found (TEXMFCNF may not be set/known) MTXrun | using script: ./bin/mtx-update.lua D:\Programs\context\bin\mtxrun.lua:1611: attempt to call field 'env' (a table va lue) When you want to use context, you need to initialize the tree with: D:\Programs\context\tex\setuptex.bat D:\Programs\context\tex You can associate this command with a shortcut to the cmd prompt.

presentation module
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 30 Apr '09

30 Apr '09

Let me start with a quote: "After using ConTeXt for a while, many users begin to think about producing their presentations with it, too. ConTeXt is ideally suited for this task. " In fact, I hate transitions :) And I don't need any animations. I just want professionally-looking pdf pages with rich image stuff to assist the speaker, and I believe that Context is well suitable for this. Where I can get simpleslides? I want to give them a try, and see what can be improved. I did not find simpleslides on the wiki, but instead found http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Presentations . Is it up-to date? http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Sample_documents contains good example of presentation by Brooks. IMHO, it beats any static PowerPoint presentation. Vyatcheslav

FiXme module
by Wolfgang Schuster 29 Apr '09

29 Apr '09

Hi all, for the people who're looking for a equivalent of the FiXme package for LaTeX, there is a first version only with the basic commands. I can extend the module if there is interest but I don't want to integrate margin notes and highlighted as the todonotes package has. URL: http://bitbucket.org/wolfs/fixme/ Wolfgang

beta
by Hans Hagen 29 Apr '09

29 Apr '09

Hi, I uploaded a beta just before leaving for bachotek. Quite some structure (lua) code has been overhauled and i need to finish some bits. I can probably fix urgent failures but real fixes have to wait till next week. As I'm redoing the backend as well as cross referencing some interaction features might be broken but normally they are easy to fix (once i know what fails). So, best collect all bugs while i'm away so that i can deal with then at once. Hans Aditya ... math numbering formulas is somewhat broken but i'll fix asap; we will have multiple levels of numbering as well as captions for formulas that go to lists etc etc. For that i need to separate some code. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

simpleslides
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 29 Apr '09

29 Apr '09

I gave a try to Simple slides... It seems to be very nice, but a few questions raised immediately 1) I get warnings (in mkiv): (c:/contextminimal/texmf-context/tex/context/third/simple-slides/simpleslides-f-default.tex simpleslides : loading default font setup fonts : beware: fontclass ignored (if needed use: [fontclass][size][settings]) fonts : beware: fontclass ignored (if needed use: [fontclass][size][settings]) fonts : beware: fontclass ignored (if needed use: [fontclass][size][settings]) )) 2) How to use arbitrary fonts (e.g., specified in type-win)? Best, Vyatcheslav

Re: [NTG-context] What happened with sectionworld?
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 29 Apr '09

Wolfgang, your script in mkiv produces "It's not as hard you think, just show him a few nice things and he is happy. See section 1 at page *11.1*." I don't understand why \at{page}[sec:happy] outputs section number. Vyatcheslav

installing minimals

Hi, I don't know whether the following is related to what is being discussed at the moment, but when trying to install a new version of minimals (in a separate, fresh directory), compiling a test file fails with the following message: On the Mac (Leopard): Setting "/Users/bonasia/contextexp/tex" as TEXROOT. bonasa:contextexp bonasia$ cd ~/Documents/alectoris/archives/talks/medges/longlife/ bonasa:longlife bonasia$ texmfstart texexec handout_longlife TeXExec | processing document 'handout_longlife' TeXExec | no ctx file found TeXExec | tex processing method: context TeXExec | TeX run 1 TeXExec | writing option file handout_longlife.top TeXExec | using randomseed 553 TeXExec | tex engine: pdftex TeXExec | tex format: cont-en This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (Web2C 7.5.7) \write18 enabled.
