Salut tout le monde, I wrote ------------------------ [...] texte texte \startMPgraphic draw (0.0cm, 0.0cm) -- (1.1cm, 1.1cm) ; \stopMPgraphic [...] ------------------------- The compilation works ; I get an EPS-file with suffixe mpgraph.2 (visible with gv) but there is nothing in the PDF. I use the minimals from 23.04.09. What is wrong ? best regards, René B.

How to prevent TeX ligatures in \starttyping..\stoptyping?
by Kevin D. Robbins 04 May '09

04 May '09

>From older posts to the mailing list, it seems that the way to prevent TeX ligatures, specifically -- and ---, in \starttyping...\stoptyping in MkIV is to 1. define a font feature with tlig=no 2. define a font synonym for the monospace font that uses this font feature 3. setup typing to use this font synonym Is this currently the best way to solve the problem? Thanks, Kevin

Hallo, in order to use footnotes in a table, I use \footnotetext and \note. But it is not workink. The following test \starttext Bla\note[bla]. \footnotetext[bla]{blub} \stoptext gives the following error: --------------------------------------------------------- >texmfstart texexec --autopdf --luatex tst.tex TeXExec | processing document 'tst.tex' TeXExec | no ctx file found TeXExec | tex processing method: context TeXExec | TeX run 1 TeXExec | writing option file tst.top TeXExec | using randomseed 1433 TeXExec | tex engine: luatex TeXExec | tex format: cont-en This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.40.0-2009042221 (Web2C 7.5.7) \write18 enabled.

multi page TABLE and placetable
by Jos van Gisbergen 04 May '09

04 May '09

Hi, I'm using TABLE macros for typesetting tables. Since the tables I'm using may get very long, I set "split=yes". This works ... except if I surround a TABLE with \placetable: \placetable[here]{caption} { \bTABLE ... \eTABLE } In such a case a table that is too long to fit on a single page is truncated at page bottom and nothing is printed on the next page. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance, Jos

Font and Typescript Questions
by curiouslearn 04 May '09

04 May '09

Can someone please help me with the following questions so that I can use some of the typescripts that Wolfgang and some others have so kindly made available. I will use font Bera as an example, since I would like to use it. I have a Mac OS X Version 10.5.6 (1) How do I know if I have font Bera? As in, where on my computer do I look to see if I have font Bera installed? (2) If I do not have the font, how do I install Bera? I see that there are files on ctan. Where should I save this? (3) Once I have installed the font and I have downloaded Wolfgang's type-bera.tex file, where do I save this file? Can I save it where I save the third-party modules. Once I save it, do I run the usual texhash, followed by luatools --generate followed by context --make (4) Once I have accomplished the top three steps, how do I use it in a document? Do I just type \usetypescript[bera] \switchtobodyfont[bera,12pt] OR, do I also have to type \usemodule[type-bera] I would really appreciate any help.

URL \href ... ?
by Mohamed Bana 04 May '09

04 May '09

Hi, Is there macro for typesetting a URL without defining it before hand? E.g., something as simple as, \href{www.google.com}, it'd also be great if \setupalign[hyphenated] \setupurl[space=yes,style=\ss,urlalternative=] also determined the way they are typeset. Mohamed
