\getmyAbstract
by David Arnold 19 Sep '09

19 Sep '09

All, At one time I had a style file that handled my abstract. \definebuffer[myAbstract] \startmyAbstract In this activity you will learn how to solve systems of linear equations using LU decomposition, with both forward and back substitution. In addition, you will also be introduced to function files and a number of \mat's control structures. {\em Prerequisites: Some knowledge of how to enter vectors and matrices in \mat. Familiarity with Gaussian elimination, elementary matrices, and LU decomposition.} \stopmyAbstract In my style file I have things like: \midaligned{\bf Abstract} \startnarrower[3*middle] \noindenting\getmyAbstract \stopnarrower At one time (long ago) this worked, but now it is throwing this error. ! Undefined control sequence. \getmyAbstract ->\dodoprocessTEXbuffer [myAbstract][def-2] l.218 \getmyAbstract What is the current workaround for this? Thanks. David

Documentation
by Alain Delmotte 18 Sep '09

18 Sep '09

Hi! First, sorry to have sent the previous message twice. I didn't check for the sending email, received a bounce, resent to discover it passed to the list. I have downloaded a great part of the documentation (59 files or so). But if I understood well, there has been big changes between Mark II and Mark IV/Lua. The documentation seems more linked to MkII. Is mk.pdf the file to use (in conjonction with another?)? I like cont-eni.pdf but I'd like to have it as print not to be seen on screen (old habit of work - or habit of work of old!!)

fonts
by Jörg Hagmann 18 Sep '09

18 Sep '09

The fonts (linlibertine and gentium) I installed (and which worked) on my ubuntu minimals don't work any more. I can't see any difference between the appropriate files on my mac (where they work) and the linux machine. Maybe somebody can point out the problem based on the message below -- I would prefer not to get reacquainted with the font mess (no time). I updated the minimals and remade formats. I am using mkII. The message is: systems : end file pdfs at line 72 system : cont-err loaded (/home/tetrao/newcontext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-err.tex systems : no file 'cont-sys.tex', using 'cont-sys.rme' instead ) ){/home/tetrao/newcontext/tex/texmf/fonts/enc/dvips/base/8r.enc}{/home/tetrao /newcontext/tex/texmf/fonts/enc/dvips/lm/lm-ec.enc}{/home/tetrao/newcontext/tex /texmf/fonts/enc/dvips/base/texnansi.enc}</home/tetrao/newcontext/tex/texmf-loc al/fonts/truetype/public/libertine/libertine-It.ttf> pdfTeX warning: pdftex: no GlyphToUnicode entry has been inserted yet! </home/tetrao/newcontext/tex/texmf-local/fonts/truetype/public/libertine/libert ine-Bd.ttf></home/tetrao/newcontext/tex/texmf-local/fonts/truetype/public/liber tine/libertine-Re.ttf></home/tetrao/newcontext/tex/texmf-local/fonts/type1/publ ic/cb/grmn1000.pfb></home/tetrao/newcontext/tex/texmf/fonts/type1/public/lm/lmr o10.pfb></home/tetrao/newcontext/tex/texmf/fonts/type1/public/pxfonts/pxsy.pfb> </home/tetrao/newcontext/tex/texmf/fonts/type1/public/pxfonts/rpxmi.pfb></home/ tetrao/newcontext/tex/texmf/fonts/type1/public/pxfonts/rpxr.pfb> !pdfTeX error: pdftex (file uplr8a.pfb): cannot open Type 1 font file for readi ng ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!

way=bychapter not working for enumerations in mkiv
by Olaf Mersmann 17 Sep '09

17 Sep '09

Hi list, the following example works in MkII but not in MkIV as expected: \defineenumeration[test][% way=bysection, location=left, text=Test] \starttext \section{One} \starttest \input knuth \stoptest \section{Two} \starttest \input knuth \stoptest \stoptext In MkII I get 1.1 and 2.1 but MkIV gives 1 and 2. Cheers Olaf

overprint bug (mkiv)
by Peter Rolf 17 Sep '09

17 Sep '09

Hi Hans, overprinting is broken under very special conditions. You need to add framed content with a defined mp overlay as background and *deactivated frame* to a layer (last of the four pairs in the example). The text of the last pair is written in the same \GSoverprint group (in this case the \GSknockout is even missing). Very obscure. Have fun, Peter \setupcolors[state=start] \setuppagenumber[state=stop] \pdfcompresslevel=0 \pdfobjcompresslevel=0 \startuniqueMPgraphic{FOO} fill OverlayBox withcolor lightgray; \stopuniqueMPgraphic \defineoverlay[FOO][\uniqueMPgraphic{FOO}] \definelayer[BAR] \starttext % OK \setlayer[BAR][x=0mm,y=0mm] {\framed[background=color,backgroundcolor=lightgray,frame=off] {\startoverprint first one\stopoverprint}} \setlayer[BAR][x=50mm,y=0mm] {\framed[background=color,backgroundcolor=lightgray,frame=off] {\startoverprint second one\stopoverprint}} % OK \setlayer[BAR][x=0mm,y=15mm] {\framed[background=color,backgroundcolor=lightgray,frame=on] {\startoverprint first one\stopoverprint}} \setlayer[BAR][x=50mm,y=15mm] {\framed[background=color,backgroundcolor=lightgray,frame=on] {\startoverprint second one\stopoverprint}} % OK \setlayer[BAR][x=0mm,y=30mm] {\framed[background=FOO,frame=on] {\startoverprint first one\stopoverprint}} \setlayer[BAR][x=50mm,y=30mm] {\framed[background=FOO,frame=on] {\startoverprint second one\stopoverprint}} % ( layer + overlay + frame=off ) is buggy \setlayer[BAR][x=0mm,y=45mm] {\framed[background=FOO,frame=off] {\startoverprint first one\stopoverprint}} \setlayer[BAR][x=50mm,y=45mm] {\framed[background=FOO,frame=off] {\startoverprint second one\stopoverprint}} \flushlayer[BAR] \stoptext

First report on use
by Alain Delmotte 17 Sep '09

17 Sep '09

Hi! After discovering some details of ConTeXt during EuroTeX2009 I decided to try it. First problem, already encountered during EuroTeX: installation. On both of my machines the installation of the minimals failed. See attached file. For example: lines 13-14 rsync error, but at lines 26-30 it looks like it works, just a moment: after 30-35 I get 36-37 = error again. On lines 77-80 there is another type of error. But I installed ConTeXt from a copy of what Mari had on her portable (this brings other questions, later); so it works for now. But still in the error file, looking at lines 97-98 and 99-100, for example, what is the installation program changing in my mikTeX installation? ------- Now for the working installation. 1) As it was taken from Mari machine, isn't there possible problems with parameters from her machine which are not the same on mine? 2) How can update and/or create new formats? I am using ConTeXt with TeXworks; I did install a full copy of TeXworks (programs and dlls) in C:\Programmes\ConTeXt\texmf-context\context\data\texworks and I issue the setuptex.bat command before to start the ConTeXt TeXworks. (You can see that I installed ConTeXt in a folder without spaces in the name: C:\Programmes\ConTeXt\.) I am only using Mark IV, following the suggestion of Hans (for French,...) So I didn't install Ruby. OK the next questions will be about documentation, in another message. Thanks very much for ConTeXt (and again for EuroTeX2009 - it was very good).
