ConTeXt editors (vim?)
by S Barmeier 22 Oct '10

22 Oct '10

Dear all, I don't know how you all compile your context documents. I have used Winefish until now, but it is no longer maintained (last stable version 2006) and so I was thinking of switching to something else. I have looked at vim and it looks promising. There is a compiler file from Aditya (2006) which uses texexec. I was wondering if anybody would be interested in a vim compiler for mkiv (maybe somebody has one already?). Other suggestions are also welcomed. Best, Severin

missing accents
by Mojca Miklavec 22 Oct '10

22 Oct '10

Ouch, After updating ConTeXt today, the accents went into digital heaven in exactly the wrong moment ... I'm using an OpenType font with some missing accents. This didn't work earlier (I didn't debug for too long): \definefontfeature[default][default][compose=yes] And this stopped working after I updated ConTeXt today: \catcode`ć=\active \defć{\buildtextaccent\textacute c} It still works with XeTeX (but I have some other (solvable) problems there).

\seeindex broken?

Problem processing a non-UTF8 Lua script
by Procházka Lukáš 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

Hello, I have a problem with processing a Lua file similar to that with \typefile described several days (weeks?) ago. Let's have the following files: - Ctx: --- \mainlanguage[cz] \enableregime[cp1250] \starttext AAA \startluacode local t = dofile("t.lua") context(t) \stopluacode \stoptext --- - And the t.lua: --- -- return "111" -- This worked OK return "žšč" -- This is problem for Ctx --- When I try the t.lua from Win console by "Lua -e dofile('t.lua')", there is no problem. When I run the Ctx file, it has problem processing characters with diacritics (like "čřž..."); the t.lua is not encoded in UTF-8 (which seems to be supposed by Ctx-Lua), but I'm using the cp1250 code page + each character = 1 B. The error message is: --- MTXrun | run 1: luatex --fmt="c:/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/f53042fa2e1c106bc7e3383ec8c3a00c/formats/cont-en" --lua="c:/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/f53042fa2e1c106bc7e3383ec8c3a00c/formats/cont-en.lui" --backend=pdf "D:/L ukas/ConTeXt/Samples/U8/t-U8.mkiv"This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.63.0-2010090921 (rev 3873) \write18 enabled.

Simple document with hyperlinks
by Procházka Lukáš 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

Hello, I'm not able to create a document with working hyperlinks in ConTeXt. The document attached was created in LaTeX - and I'd like to create a similar one in ConTeXt: --- \documentclass{article} \usepackage{hyperref} \begin{document} This a~label.\label{a-label} \newpage This is \hyperlink{a-label}{a ref to it}. \end{document} --- The document: - Should be a "print version" (A4 portrait), but with working hyperlinks. - I don't need to refer to any section, chapter, page etc. I need to create an "anchor", a named "point" in the document, and than to refer to it. - It's not important whether the "clickable" area is framed (default in LaTeX) or green (which seems to me to be default in ConTeXt; guessing by the last contextref.pdf) or highlighted another way. It's just necessary to be working and good if it also changes the default cursor appearance from caret to e.g. "go to hand". I believe it's too easy but - how to do it in ConTeXt? Lukas

function ‘trace_context’ out of scope in mult-cld.lua
by Philipp Gesang 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

Hi, the following code calls ‘trace_context()’ which is created only later on line 254. This is triggered if the first arg of ‘context()’ is of type ‘table’. ······ <example.cld> ············································ function test (str) context.starttext() context(str) context.stoptext() return 0 end t = {"a", "b"} return test(t) ····· </example.cld> ············································ Moving l. 254 to around l. 114 in mult-cld.lua fixes it for me.

Re: [NTG-context] Furigana [SOLVED]
by S Barmeier 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

Well, I resolved the ruby issue. After playing around with a minimal example, I noticed that \usemodule[tikz] was causing all the trouble when trying to load the environment. Not knowing what was wrong I've now updated to texlive '10 and everything works as expected, including tikz. Thank you for your patience.

Pound sign £ output as italic dollar sign [urgent]
by Elliot Clifton 20 Oct '10

20 Oct '10

Hello, I was just about to send my book to press when I noticed the '£' appears in my PDF as an italic dollar sign. I looked it up in the archive and google. Have tried \pound and \sterling -- nothing seems to work. It's very strange, when I output the chapter's product separately from the project the £ appears as expected. When I generate the project it appears as italic $. I'm using ConTeXt ver: 2010.10.19 23:03 MKII fmt: 2010.10.20 int: english/english with TeXLive 2010 on MacOS X 10.6. And I have the following in my environment file: \language[en] \mainlanguage[en] \enableregime[utf-8] I'm using TeX Gyre fonts. Any ideas? TIA, Elliot
