Emacs templates for ConTeXt
by Piotr Kopszak 15 May '09

15 May '09

Hello, I have just started using Emacs msf-abbrevs mode with ConTeXt files. Just would like to know if anyone is using other templating systems for Emacs with ConTeXt files? Are there any templates for ConTeXt commands around? Best Piotr -- http://okle.pl

upcoming conference
by Hans Hagen 15 May '09

15 May '09

Dear TeX user, The upcoming EuroTeX 2009 takes place from August 31 till September 4 in Den Haag in The Netherlands. In parallel we will run the third ConTeXt conference. We already have some 25 talks and tutorials submitted but we need a few more as we run a parallel program. If you are willing to present a paper or tutorial, please let us know. The theme of the conference is "Educational Uses of TeX" but of course other TeX and MetaPost related topics will be covered as well. Depending on the amount of contributions we will program them in blocks that cover general topics but we will also cluster talks and turorials specific to macro packages in an additional program. You can send your proposal(s) to eurotex(a)ntg.nl. Registration for the conference closes at July 1, 2009. On behalf of the organization, Taco Hoekwater & Hans Hagen ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

problem with quotation marks
by Thomas A. Schmitz 15 May '09

15 May '09

Hi all, the following minimal example demonstrates a problem with closing quotation marks (both mkii and mkiv): \setuplayout[width=3cm] \starttext \quotation{This is a \quote{test.}} \stoptext ConTeXt breaks a line between ' and ". This shouldn't happen. All best Thomas

MKIV, fonts, confusion
by afsmith 15 May '09

15 May '09

Hi ntg-context. I'm very confused about accomplishing something that to me seems as though it should be quite simple, but has proven for weeks of occasional attempts to be very confusing. I'm finding existing information from the contextgarden wiki and ntg-context archives to be very newbie-unfriendly and inconsistent. I'm compelled to improve the wiki, if only I could comprehend what I would be documenting. What I would like to do is use the full range of TeX-Gyre fonts (and later possibly others) for my existing documents. It is not clear to me... Whether or not I am using MKIV, nor how to determine which engine I am running. If not running MKIV/XeTeX, how to determine which fonts are installed. What the items from the output of "fc-list" or "mtxrun --script fonts --list" correspond to. How to use available fonts, nor where to draw valid parameters from for use in font commands. How to determine what font configurations are available for a given font. Whether I need to write typescripts, nor how to find any existing ones. Whether I need to concern myself with .map or any other font files. Whether I need to configure anything, move any files, etcetera. ...As well as anything else I might need to install or use a font For what it's worth, I have been using the command "texexec" to process my tex files, am using a context minimals downloaded about two months ago, and am running Linux.

beta (12.05.2009, 22:36): footnote marker and overprinting
by Peter Rolf 14 May '09

14 May '09

Hi, just in case this slipped someone's mind :) I still get an error about an undefined control sequence (\PDFobjectreferenceB) and the footnote marker (star) is not moved with the footnote (\moveright). The attached example code (with overprinting) breaks with the mentioned error. The attached picture shows the problem with the separated footnote marker. It can be created with the other versions (without overprinting) of the \NoteNumber and \MyFootnote macros. Best wishes, Peter \def\NoteNumber#1{\hbox to 15pt{\hfill\black \dostartoverprint#1\dostopoverprint}} %\def\NoteNumber#1{\hbox to 15pt{\hfill\black #1}} \setupfootnotes [bodyfont=6pt, textcolor=black, before=,after=, rule=off, numberconversion={set 2}, % distance=-2em, margindistance=-2em, numbercommand=\NoteNumber] \def\MyFootnote#1{\footnote{\hskip3em \dostartoverprint#1\dostopoverprint}} %\def\MyFootnote#1{\footnote{\hskip3em #1}} \starttext \startlocalfootnotes \vbox\bgroup\hsize=78mm\dontcomplain \startitemize[4] \item die Ausgabe erfolgt als PDF/X-4p\MyFootnote{ISO 15930-7:2008} \stopitemize \egroup \stoplocalfootnotes % footnote marker is not moved! \moveright70mm\hbox{\placelocalfootnotes} \stoptext

docs
by R. Bastian 14 May '09

14 May '09

Hi, I would write a french & german intro-source for (quasi absolute) newcomers which need to have a working system producing PDF texts. But I know nothing about ConTeXt. therefor I cant do anything without your help. A first series of question: -. For a newcommer, is Mk II the best choice ? -. Is it necessary to know TeX ? or Is ConTeXt (CTX) compatible with TeX ? I wish to alternate french & german texts (so they can be translated in other languages). rb "" Wanderer, kommst du nach LuaTeX, dann hoff nicht zuviel, sonst hast du PeX """ ;-)

beta: figure boundingbox
by Peter Rolf 14 May '09

14 May '09

Hi, while comparing the PDF of mkii and mkiv I noticed a slight differ in the boundingboxes (bb) of MP figures. While all mkii bb have the form [0 0 w h], the mkiv counterparts use [-1 -1 w+1 h+1]. So the bb of mkiv is enlarged 1bp in all directions. Is this intended? Minimal example and PDF attached. (ConTeXt 2009-04-06; luatex0.37; pdftex1.40.9; mpost1.102) Best wishes, Peter \pdfcompresslevel0 \setuppagenumber[state=stop] \startuniqueMPgraphic{foo} fill unitsquare xyscaled(2in,1in); \stopuniqueMPgraphic \starttext \null \useMPgraphic{foo} \stoptext

bugs in beta
by Thomas A. Schmitz 14 May '09

14 May '09

Hi Hans, so you're back from Bachotek and ready to attack the bugs? The beta you uploaded today is still badly broken. Most of this has been reported before; I just collect it here for your convenience :-) 1. The most urgent bug: The beta still fails to generate the files luatex-cache/context/XXX/names.tma and names.tmc. Which means only Latin Modern works, all other fonts fail. I get this both on OS X and linux; I have to use an older version to produce these files and copy them over. Once that is done, fonts work normally. 2. The new structure code doesn't expand xmlflushes in sections. Here's an example: \startbuffer[xmltest] <section> <title>First section</title> <content>Hello world</content> </section> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups xml:mysetups \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{section|content|title}{xml:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:mysetups} \startxmlsetups xml:section \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:content \xmlflush{#1} \par \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:title \section{\xmlflush{#1}} \stopxmlsetups \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{xmltest}{} \stoptext 3. Section numbers in markings are duplicated. Example: \setuphead [section] [page=yes, style=normal] \setupuserpagenumber[state=start,way=bysection] \setupfootertexts[{\getmarking[sectionnumber]} – \userpagenumber] \starttext \section{One} \input tufte \page \input linden \section{Two} \input bryson \page \input davis \stoptext 4. The latest beta still does not work with the bib module (and yes, I am using the latest version t-bib-2009.04.27.zip). Here is a minimal file: \usemodule[bib] \startpublication[k=kasselpoeticedition,t=book, a={{Aristoteles}},y=1965, n=1046,s=Ari65] \author[]{}[]{}{Aristoteles} \pubyear{1965} \title{De arte poetica liber} \city{Oxford} \pubname{Oxford UP} \stoppublication \starttext Hello world! \nocite[kasselpoeticedition] \placepublications[criterium=cite] \stoptext On my big bibliography files, I get errors such as this: LuaTeX warning (ext4): destination with the same identifier (name{6:fsstraub}) has been already used, duplicate ignored <to be read again> \egroup \thisisdestination ... \dostartthisislocation {#1} \dostopthisislocation \fi ... l.2 \thisisdestination{6:fsstraub} \dosetreference ...ls ",\nextinternalreference ) } \fi \fi <argument> ...ibrefprefix fsstraub]{\bibcounter }} \strut \dotypesetapublicat... \listtextcommand #1->\begstrut #1 \endstrut ... l.184 ...lications[criterium=cite,option=continue] but I have no idea if these problems are related. I have to deliver a paper tomorrow and am glad I kept an older version... All best Thomas
