Hello, I am using mkiv beta (14-Jun-09) and the \digits command does not like the decimal point. Any suggestions?

Upcoming EuroTeX 2009
by Willi Egger 07 Sep '09

07 Sep '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

[PATCH] Add begin_of_buffer and end_of_buffer hooks for lua pretty printers
by Matthijs Kooijman 25 Aug '09

25 Aug '09

Hi all, while working on a custom pretty printer, I was having the need to keep some state variables for the duration of one buffer, and reset them again for the next buffer. With the current hooks a pretty printer has available, this is not possible, since you never know what the first and last lines are. The attached patch adds two new hooks, begin_of_buffer and end_of_buffer, which will be called when typing a buffer or a file (e.g. \typebuffer or \typefile). They are not called for typing a phrase (e.g. \type). Is this patch acceptable for inclusion? Gr. Matthijs

context mkiv bug + related feature request + related question
by Yue Wang 19 Jul '09

19 Jul '09

Hi, Hans: bug report : here is the test file. (old version of mkiv produce right result. current mkii result is also right) It is a bug introduced in this/last month. The code is a stripped down version of http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Horizontal_Table_of_Contents (altough it doesn't show toc horizontally) \newcount\chapcounter \chapcounter=0 \def\tocchap#1#2#3{\advance\chapcounter by 1 #1 #2% \placelist[section][criterium=chapter,number=\chapcounter]} \starttext \placelist[chapter][alternative=command,command=\tocchap] \chapter{hello} \section{hello} \section{hello} \chapter{good} \section{good} \section{good} \chapter{bad} \section{bad} \section{bad} \stoptext feature request: btw, Hans, context should give an option to iterate through all the chapters/sections to do something tricky. using \chaptercounter is a really bad idea (the materials should follow strict rules, like cannot jump from chap 1 to chap 3). I think with mkiv it is able to achieve that. question: I want to show toc before each chapter, and the toc only shows the following chapter name in red. How can I do that? e.g. show the following before chapter 3 % A Page Chap1 sec 1 sec 2 sec 3 Chap2 sec 1 sec 2 sec 3 Chap 3 %in red sec 1 sec 2 sec 3 %in Red Chap4 sec 1 sec 2 sec 3 % Next Page Chapter 3 % title a lot of materials Yue Wang

Hyphenation list and umlauts
by Thomas Floeren 16 Jul '09

16 Jul '09

Hi, I stumbled upon a problem with my hyphenation list: In MKIV, all the words in the list that contain umlauts are completely ignored. MKII is fine. Example: \de \hyphenation{ma-nö-v-rie-ren} \starttext \hyphenatedword{manövrieren} \stoptext Is there any workaround for this? (\odiaeresis doesn't work either) Or do I have an encoding problem? LuaTeX, Version beta-0.40.5-2009061023 (Web2C 2009) ConTeXt ver: 2009.06.14 21:01 MKIV fmt: 2009.6.18 btw, does anybody know a solution for my other small problems in my mail from last week? http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20090618.201708.be8aa761.en.html Any help or hint is really appreciated. Thanks in advance Tom

mkiv structure
by Hans Hagen 09 Jul '09

09 Jul '09

Hi, I was wondering ... the last time quite some nice small test samples were posted for testing the structure code maybe we can set up a repository with such test files (but someone needs to coordinate it) where they can end up after posting and fixing possible errors in the examples; we do need some ordering Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

letter/correspondence module
by Henning Hraban Ramm 03 Jul '09

03 Jul '09

Hallo Wolfgang! ;-) Since my old letter and CV environment doesn't work anymore in MkIV, I'm trying to reproduce it with t-letter. At the moment I struggle with the reference keys: \setupletterstyle[reference][ alternative=d, list={name,street,city,,phone,skype,email,,date}, ] \setupletter[name,street,phone,date,skype,email][ separator={: }, titlestyle={\ss\tfxx}, ] The keys street, city and skype aren't defined in your module. I found where the other keys are defined (and I guess I could mine in or use a similar approach in my environment), but I'm clueless, where the translation comes from - I grepped eg. after "Telefon" without results, and I think I looked into every file of your module. I guess it would be interesting how to define your own keys, maybe some IM adresses etc., also for other users. Would it be possible to use unknown keys just unchanged? I.e. if I say \setupletter[ Skype={fiee.visuelle} ] to get just "Skype: fiee.visuelle"? More questions will follow... I'll try to get my logo at the right place by myself before... Greetlings from Lake Constance! Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)

Turning slides in unattended presentation
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 30 Jun '09

30 Jun '09

Hello, Is it possible to make slides (i.e., PDF pages) to turn automatically, say, every 10 seconds (and start again, in loop)? I suppose that Reader is in full-screen mode (Ctrl+L). I already have nice transitions between slides, making the presentation unattended is the main thing I lank now. Vyatcheslav
