Euler font and context minimals
by Mathieu Boespflug 07 Oct '10

07 Oct '10

Hi everyone, I'm using ConTeXt for my PhD thesis and as I'm getting sick of writing up I've been trying to tweak the appearance a bit. I'd like to switch to using Palatino font for main body and Euler font for math. So I tried \setupbodyfont[pagella-euler] \starttext test $f(x) = x^2$. \stoptext But I get errors during processing such as: MTXrun | run 1: luatex --fmt="/home/mboes/src/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/9076a3f5a9f873039eaa5d3001a4c6ac/formats/cont-en" --lua="/home/mboes/src/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/9076a3f5a9f873039eaa5d3001a4c6ac/formats/cont-en.lui" --backend=pdf "./chap-one.tex"This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.63.0-2010090921 \write18 enabled.

I still get the same error messages. I also ran luatools --generate and that doesn't make a difference. I read through the typography and fonts chapters of the manual but I didn't find specific information about installing fonts. Am I doing it right? How can I get ConTeXt to recognize this standard font? Many thanks, Mathieu

\seeindex
by Alan BRASLAU 07 Oct '10

07 Oct '10

Wishlist: add interaction to \seeindex Explaination: \seeindex{index_entry}{see_entry} can be used to add entry to an index that refers one to another entry. Example: \seeindex{DNA}{deoxyribonucleic acid} With \setupinteraction [state=start] one gets active hyperlinks on the page numbers of the index entries. It would be nice if \seeindex entries to the index would create an interaction hyperlink to the corresponding real index entry. This is pretty straight-forward, but probably non-trivial to implement, as there is no guarantee that the second entry of \seeindex indeed exists. Of course, \seeindex could create this entry, but it may not have an associated page number or page numbers if \index{deoxyribonucleic acid} was never called. Even more sophisticated, but the bookkeeping on this might get a bit complicated, \index{DNA} could create an index entry under {deoxyribonucleic acid} as \seeindex instructs to "hijack" this label. (currently, it will put "see DNA" followed by a page number.) Alan

Running Mk-IV using TeXLive 2010
by R (Chandra) Chandrasekhar 06 Oct '10

06 Oct '10

Dear Folks, I am a LaTeX user trying out ConTeXt for the first time. I am running TeXLive 2010 (full scheme) on a x86_64-linux platform. I have visited http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Running_Mark_IV and put the instructions there into an executable file: --- #! /bin/bash # # Manual update for ConTeXt in TeXLive 2010 as suggested at # # http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Running_Mark_IV # # Update ConTeXt rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/context/current/ /usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-dist/ # Update LuaTeX rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/bin/luatex/linux-64/bin/luatex /usr/local/texlive/2010/bin/x86_64-linux/ # Run equivalent mktexlsr luatools --generate context --make context --make cont-en --- The last output lines after running this file are: --- LuaTools | runtime: 1.610 seconds .../2010/texmf-dist/scripts/context/lua/mtx-context.lua:985: attempt to call upvalue 'make_mkiv_format' (a nil value) .../2010/texmf-dist/scripts/context/lua/mtx-context.lua:985: attempt to call upvalue 'make_mkiv_format' (a nil value) --- When I compiled a trivial file called first.tex using texexec first I got in the output, inter alia, --- ConTeXt ver: 2010.07.30 11:35 MKII fmt: 2010.10.5 int: english/english --- Why am I not seeing Mk-IV yet? I have used LuaLaTeX with fontspec quite successfully and would like to try ConTeXt with LuaTeX support in Mk-IV to compare ease of customization and use. I am happy to furnish more information if necessary. Sorry if my query sounds elementary, but I am new to ConTeXt. Thanks in advance. Chandra

Algorithms in ConTeXt
by Patrick Gundlach 06 Oct '10

06 Oct '10

Hi, I'd like to ask yet another "LaTeX in ConTeXt" question. Is there something like the algorithm package? It can typeset pseudocode like in the attached graphic. I sort of like the rules on the left side that indicate the scope of the for/while/case statements. Patrick

question about \inouter cum suis
by Thomas A. Schmitz 06 Oct '10

06 Oct '10

Dear gang, consider the following: \setuppapersize[A6][A6] \setuplayout [width=middle, height=middle, backspace=3cm, margin=1.5cm, location=doublesided] \starttext This nation, \inouter{1}turning 100 years old, had no {\em Odyssey}, no St.~George slaying the dragon, no Prometheus. The emerging American genius for making a lot of money was a poor substitute for King Arthur and his knights (although the Horatio Alger myth of rags to riches was good for a lot of mileage). Without a mythology and set of ancient heroes to call its own, America had to manufacture its heroes. So the mythmaking machinery of nineteenth|-|century American media created a suitable heroic archetype in the cowboys of the Wild West. The image was of the undaunted cattle drivers living a life of reckless individualism, braving the elements, staving off brutal Indian \inouter{2}attacks. Or of heroic lawmen dueling with six|-|guns in the streets at high noon. This artificial Wild West became America's Iliad. This nation, turning 100 years old, had no {\em Odyssey}, no St.~George \inouter{3}slaying the dragon, no Prometheus. The emerging American genius for making a lot of money was a poor substitute for King Arthur and his knights (although the Horatio Alger myth of rags to riches was good for a lot of mileage). Without a mythology and set of ancient heroes to call its own, America had to manufacture its heroes. \stoptext The \inouter{2} is typeset in the INNER margin, both in mkiv and mkii. I assume that's because the paragraph it's in starts on an odd page. Is there any setup command to change this behavior? Or is this the expected behavior? I looked into page-mar.mkiv, but couldn't find anything... All best Thomas

placepublications does not place publications

Hi all, the following code works in mkii. It used to work in mkiv as well, but doesn't anymore with the latest beta (I can't tell at which version it stopped working, sorry). Maybe a side-effect of the new structure code?

two buglets
by Thomas A. Schmitz 06 Oct '10

06 Oct '10

Hi all, working on a book project with index and bibliography, I discovered two small bugs (at least I think they are bugs): 1. index sorts uppercase letters after lowercase letters. Minimal example: \starttext \index{Aardvark}Aardvark \index{azygous}azygous \page \setupregister[index][n=1] \placeregister[index] \stoptext I would expect azygous to follow Aardvark, but it is sorted before. 2. (Maybe not a bug, but a somewhat unfriendly behavior): When a \cite command refers to a non-existent key and sort=bbl, ConTeXt bombs out with a lua error: ! LuaTeX error ...text/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/bibl-tra.lua:77: attempt to compare nil with number stack traceback: ...text/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/bibl-tra.lua:77: in function <...text/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/bibl-tra.lua:76> [C]: in function 'sort' ...text/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/bibl-tra.lua:84: in function 'flush' <main ctx instance>:1: in main chunk. \typesetpubslist ...hacks.flush("\@@pbsorttype ")} \doendoflist \dodoplacepublications ...sttrue \typesetpubslist \inpublistfalse \endgroup ... l.37 \placepublications[criterium=all] minimal example (the typo \cite[clarke199] instead of \cite[clarke1999a] is there on purpose to demonstrate the problem): \setuppublications[state=start, sorttype=bbl, refcommand=authornum, numbering=yes] \setuppublicationlist[samplesize={VSdK90},totalnumber=2] \startpublication[k=champion2004,t=book, a={{Champion}},y=2004, n=10,s=Cha04] \author[]{Craige~B.}[C.~B.]{}{Champion} \pubyear{2004} \title{Cultural Politics in Polybius's {\em Histories}} \city{Berkeley} \pubname{Univ. of California Pr.} \stoppublication \startpublication[k=clarke1999a,t=book, a={{Clarke}},y=1999b, n=9,s=Cla99b] \author[]{Katherine}[K.]{}{Clarke} \pubyear{1999\maybeyear{b}} \title{Between Geography and History: Hellenistic Constructions of the Roman World} \city{Oxford} \pubname{Oxford UP} \stoppublication \starttext \cite[champion2004] \cite[clarke199] \page \placepublications[criterium=all] \stoptext Could this error be handled more gracefully, i.e. intercepted?

footnotes when using RtL (Arabic)
by Talal Al-Azem 05 Oct '10

05 Oct '10

Dear all, Two quick questions regarding footnotes and Arabic: 1. How do I get a footnote rule/marker to go from right-to-left (i.e. to begin at the right margin instead of the left margin)? 2. I would like some of my footnote streams to run RtL for Arabic, and also for those footnotes to be in paragraph form (i.e. \setupnote[afootnote][paragraph=yes] ). But when I add this command, my footnote instead runs LtR, the letters get cut up (i.e. the Arabic script is not connected), and I lose my footnote marker to add insult to injury. How should I define a footnote stream to run RtL in paragraph form? Many thanks in advance. Kind regards, Talal p.s. Below is my attempt thus far, with the problem of defining paragraph=yes, and with the problem of the footnote rule/marker. Reference to what I should change in this example would be most helpful: ========================== %%% SETUP AREA %% PAGE SETUP \setuppapersize[A4][A4] \setuplayout[grid=on] \showgrid \setupinterlinespace[line=3.8ex] \setupindenting[yes,big] %% FONTS \usemodule[simplefonts] \setupsimplefonts[size=12pt] \definefontfeature[default] [default] [mode=node,script=arabic] \setmainfontfallback[Lotus Linotype] [scale=1.33,features=arabic,range={arabic,arabicsupplement}] %% PARAGRAPH DIRECTION & SPACING - ARABIC - ENGLISH \def\arabpar {\textdir TRT\pardir TRT} \automigrateinserts % to ensure that certain levels of footnotes show up (raw MKIV feature) %% FOOTNOTES \setupfootnotedefinition[location=serried] \definenote[afootnote][conversion=set 2] \setupnote[afootnote][paragraph=yes] %%% TEXT \starttext \input knuth \startbaselinecorrection\setupinterlinespace[line=5ex] \arabpar{ هذه رسالة جامعة مانعة ألفه الشيخ الفاضل النحرير هذه رسالة جامعة مانعة ألفه الشيخ الفاضل النحرير هذه رسالة جامعة مانعة ألفه الشيخ الفاضل النحرير هذه رسالة جامعة مانعة ألفه الشيخ الفاضل النحرير هذه رسالة جامعة مانعة ألفه الشيخ الفاضل النحرير هذه رسالة جامعة مانعة ألفه الشيخ الفاضل النحرير \afootnote{هذه فوتنوت.} هذه رسالة جامعة مانعة ألفه الشيخ ألفه الشيخ الفاضل النحرير هذه رسالة جامعة مانعة ألفه الشيخ الفاضل النحرير هذه رسالة جامعة مانعة ألفه الشيخ الفاضل النحرير هذه رسالة جامعة مانعة ألفه الشيخ الفاضل النحرير هذه رسالة جامعة مانعة } \stopbaselinecorrection Thus, I came to the conclusion that the designer\footnote{Such as Knuth himself.} of a new system must not only be the implementer and first large--scale user; the designer should also write the first user manual. The separation of any of these four components would have hurt TEX significantly. \stoptext ==========================
