Problem on switching typefaces
by Maurício 22 Jun '09

22 Jun '09

In the example below, all text printed on body font is okay. However, the text inside braces disapears. Problem seems not to be with specific typeface, as 'chorus' shows properly when used as body font. Also, changing chorus for others (palatino, chermes, schola, pagella etc.) do not solve the problem. What do you think I'm doing wrong? Thanks, Maurício %%%%%%%%%%% \usetypescriptfile[type-gentium] \usetypescript[gentium] \usetypescript[chorus] \setupbodyfont[gentium,22pt] \starttext Text on body font. { \switchtotypeface[chorus][rm] Text on special typeface. } More body font text. \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%

Empty lines in text floats are not shown
by Aleksandr Sinicyn 22 Jun '09

22 Jun '09

Hello, I would like to ask a question about empty lines in "\starttabulate ... \stoptabulate" block. I have defined the following float object description for placing code listings in text: \definefloat[codelisting][code listings] Then I use it together with "typefile", "\starttabulate ... \stoptabulate" and "splitfloat" to split source code listing to multiple pages: \starttext \start \setupcaptions[location=top] \splitfloat [lines=auto] { \placecodelisting [here] [codelisting:homework.cpp] {File {\em homework.cpp} contents} } { \starttabulate[|lp(1.0\textwidth)|] \NC \typefile[option=C, tab=8, palet=colorpretty, numbering=line]{../homework.cpp} \NC \SR \stoptabulate } \stop \stoptext Everything works fine except that empty lines that were present in the file "homework.cpp" do not appear in the listing. I have tried to replace "\starttabulate ... \stoptabulate" with "\starttable ... \stoptable" - in that case empty lines are shown, but splitting no longer works, that is text is truncated to one page and no figure title appears. Maybe there is a way to enable showing empty lines in "\starttabulate .. \stoptabulate" block? Thanks for help! -- http://www.fastmail.fm - IMAP accessible web-mail

Latest XML advice.
by John Culleton 21 Jun '09

21 Jun '09

I have in hand a huge document (587 modules) in xml DocBook format. It constitutes the documentation for Gimp. I also have the Context xml manual but can't seem to figure out how to make it work. The root document (or what I assume is the root document) contains statements like this: <part> <title>Getting Started</title> <chapter id="introduction"> <title>Introduction</title> <xi:include href="introduction.xml"/> <xi:include href="introduction/whats-new.xml"/> </chapter> and so on. When I tried simply texexec gimp.xml I got a one page document that listed the titles in one long string but none of the content of the subdocs referenced. So I added near the top \defineXMLenvironment [gimp] {(} {)} \enableXML and got more or less the same results.

ConTeXt minimals installation problem
by Michal Kvasnička 20 Jun '09

20 Jun '09

Hallo, gentlemen. I've just tried to install the latest stable ConTeXt minimals on my new system (SuSE Linux 11.1). The system downloaded itself (via rsync) all right, but it isn't able to create formats (MarkII; I don't know how to use MarkIV). If I try run texexec --make --all manually, I get this error: ...<TEXROOTDIR>/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/mtxrun:8707: attempt to concatenate a nil value What am I doing wrong? How can I install it? With many thanks yours Michal Kvasnicka
