Using a tikz package
by Maurício 15 Jun '09

15 Jun '09

I would like to use this package for drawing circuits: http://home.dei.polimi.it/mredaelli/circuitikz/index.html The examples are in Latex, but I imagine it could be used in ConTeXt since it's written using Tikz. How can I do that? The recomended instalation procedure at the website is to just uncompress everything in texmf-local directory, but that creates a 'latex' directory that I imagine ConTeXt won't use. Thanks, Maurício

Symbol join of \ll and equal
by Xan 15 Jun '09

15 Jun '09

Hi, I just want to know if there is a symbol that join \ll and = like \leq joins < and =. If not, it's possible to "make" that symbol (that has << in upper and - in bottom; like \leq but with two <<)? Thanks in advance, Xan. PS: In The not so short introduction to latex there is no such symbol. Maybe in ConTeXt....

Part, chapter, section numbers typeset twice by e.g. \in{Chapter}[ch:foo]
by Kevin D. Robbins 15 Jun '09

15 Jun '09

Hi Hans, In the following test, \in{}[] typesets the correct part/chapter/section number, but doubled up as in "Chapter 2.32.3" instead of "Chapter 2.3". \starttext \placecontent \part[pt:foo_bar_baz]{Foo, Bar, Baz} \chapter[ch:foo]{Foo} \in{Chapter}[ch:baz1] \chapter[ch:bar]{Bar} \in{Section}[ch:foo] \chapter[ch:baz]{Baz} \in{Part}[pt:foo_bar_baz1] \part[pt:foo_bar_baz1]{Foo, Bar, Baz 1} \chapter[ch:foo1]{Foo 1} \chapter[ch:bar1]{Bar 1} \chapter[ch:baz1]{Baz 1} \stoptext I don't urgently need a fix or anything. I just wanted to get this on the queue. Kevin

Is this font changing allowed/correct?
by Maurício 14 Jun '09

14 Jun '09

Can I switch fonts like this? I know something is wrong because it doesn't work ('concrete' typeface is not used), but I would like to know if I'm in the right direction. Thanks, Maurício %%% \usetypescriptfile[type-gentium] \usetypescriptfile[type-otf] \usetypescript[gentium] \usetypescript[concrete] \setupbodyfont[gentium,20pt] \starttext Some text. { \switchtobodyfont[concrete] More text. } \stoptext %%%

\setupcaption stopper does not work in mkiv
by jm 14 Jun '09

14 Jun '09

hi, all! i have been trying to produce "Figure 1." in the figure caption of my document using mkiv and i just couldn't. i've searched through the ntg-context archives and the net for solutions but none seems to work. however, when i try the solutions posted (e.g. \setupcaption[figure][stopper={.}]) using XeConTeXt or MKII, i get the result i need. can anybody tell me how to go about this in mkiv? also, how do you go about producing a "Table 1.1" or a "Table 1-1" in the captions? couldn't find the answer in the manuals or in the web. any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all! :-) joel mendoza

Commissioned work - we're looking for a ConTeXt person to help us finishing a 200+ pages multi-lingual art book (with Xetex?)
by Pierre Huyghebaert 13 Jun '09

13 Jun '09

Dear list, I'm part of a design group Open Source Publishing, and we use ConTeXt for a few months now. The main goal is to produce a 200+ pages multi- lingual art book for which we have in the past months some exchanges with kind members of the list about font install and Xetex. I currently work more on the design itself. To finish on time, avoid loosing time on some hazardous/random errors, and also learning ConTeXt more "from the inside", we're looking for a person interested to have a commissioned work -for a fair price per day- to help us crossing the last technical problems (some of them still unknown and only potential). It's not easy for us to plan the exact amount of work, but it will certainly be closely linked to : - ConTeXt - Xetex (or another solution to use custom fonts) - Pictures - Final production of CMYK PDF's for the printer We work in Brussels but are able to travel to the Netherlands without problems. A first meeting will probably be helpful to go to more details. We'll try to push the project as far as possible this month and in July to be able to print the book in August. If you are, or you know a person interested in, do not hesitate to contact us, Pierre Huyghebaert +32 495 90 56 32 http://www.ospublish.constantvzw.org
