Second Try for help using Windows 7 Winedt 6.0 MiKTeX 2.9 to process ConTeXt
by barndog1946＠gmail.com 21 Nov '10

21 Nov '10

Perhaps Taco could find time to explore this?? Recently MikTeX enabled ConTeXt using Luatex .60. I love ConteXt and was using it UNTIL MiKTeX stopped support in version 2.8. I try to process a ConteXt file now using: Windows 7, Winedt 6.0 and MikTeX 2.9... I changed to MKIV within MikTeK and luatex tryies to process a TIK test file instead of my master.tex file. Could anyone please advise me on how to get this working? I reallly NEED to use ConTeXt again to continue to publish my research correctly Thanks Barney Schwartz

heading in margin + grid
by Philipp Gesang 21 Nov '10

21 Nov '10

Dear fellow Contexters, there are some subheadings I’d like to place in the margin approximately like that: ···8<···························································· \def\text{knuth} \setuplayout[grid=yes] \showgrid \setuphead[section][ %grid=yes, style={\tf\bf\color[red]}, command=\placeheadinmargin, before=,after=, ] \setupwhitespace[none] \def\placeheadinmargin#1#2{% %\margintitle{#2}% \margintitle{\raise-\baselineskip\hbox{#2}}% needed with grid } \starttext \dorecurse{10}{% \section{\text} \input \text \par } \stoptext ···8<···························································· Question is: how do I get rid of the empty line before the heading? I thought I exhausted every possibility by unsetting the ‘after’ and ‘before’ keys and disabling interpar whitespace -- but not quite! Thanks for any suggestions, Philipp -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments

Better info for chart module
by Cecil Westerhof 21 Nov '10

21 Nov '10

I found and use http://www.ntg.nl/maps/23/16.pdf. But this is from 1999, so I was wondering if there is more uptodate information. Especially I am wondering about the status from what is told by other features. -- Cecil Westerhof

Anybody have an XML pretty printer ConTeXt document? That would make a great example of generic XML processing. Thanks, -pd

Creating graphic file instead of PDF
by Cecil Westerhof 21 Nov '10

21 Nov '10

I am making flowcharts with ConTeXt. Because the flowcharts have to be included in other documents, I would like to make graphic files (jpeg, png, ...). Also not bigger as needed to represent the flowchart. Can this be done. -- Cecil Westerhof

How to circumvent crossing of the lines
by Cecil Westerhof 21 Nov '10

I have the folowing document: \usemodule[chart] \starttext \setupFLOWcharts [ dx=2\bodyfontsize, dy=2\bodyfontsize, height=3.1\lineheight, maxwidth=\textwidth, nx=5, ny=4, ] \startFLOWchart[example] \startFLOWcell \connection [bt]{isErEenProbleem} \connection [rl]{urenInvoeren} \location {2,1} \name {tijdOver} \shape {45} \text {Is er tijd voor een volgend ticket?} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \connection [rl]{klaar} \location {3,1} \name {urenInvoeren} \shape {action} \text {Leg gebruikte uren vast} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \connection [bt]{ticketKlaar} \connection [lr]{contactTon} \location {2,2} \name {isErEenProbleem} \shape {45} \text {Treed er een probleem op?} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \connection [tt]{tijdOver} \location {1,2} \name {contactTon} \shape {action} \text {Neem contact op met Ton} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \connection [bt]{meldOpgelost} \connection [lt]{tijdOver} \location {2,3} \name {ticketKlaar} \shape {45} \text {Is ticket opgelost?} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \connection [lt]{tijdOver} \location {2,4} \name {meldOpgelost} \shape {action} \text {Meld ticket opgelost} \stopFLOWcell \stopFLOWchart \FLOWchart[example] \stoptext But the lines from ticketKlaar and meldOpgelost to tijdOver cross the line from isErEenProbleem to contactTon. Is there a way to make the lines pass contactTon to the left, so the lines do not cross? -- Cecil Westerhof

Is the chart module broken?
by Cecil Westerhof 21 Nov '10

21 Nov '10

In the past I have used the chart module for a little flow chart in a presentation. I wanted to make again flow charts. But I did not get it working. I just compiled my old version again, but this does not work also. The chart is drawn, but the boxes and lines are invisible. That is not very usefull. What could be the problem? When executing 'texexec --check' I get: MTXrun | kpse fallback with progname 'context' initialized in 0.03 seconds TeXExec | current distribution: web2c TeXExec | context source date: 2009.08.19 17:10 TeXExec | format path: . /home/cecil/texmf//home/cecil/texmf/web2c /etc/texmf//home/cecil/texmf/web2c /var/lib/texmf//home/cecil/texmf/web2c /usr/lib/texmf//home/cecil/texmf/web2c /usr/local/share/texmf//home/cecil/texmf/web2c /usr/share/texmf//home/cecil/texmf/web2c /etc/texmf/web2c /var/lib/texmf/web2c /home/cecil/texmf/web2c/unsetengine /etc/texmf/web2c/unsetengine /var/lib/texmf/web2c/unsetengine /usr/lib/texmf/web2c/unsetengine /usr/local/share/texmf/web2c/unsetengine /usr/share/texmf/web2c/unsetengine /home/cecil/texmf/web2c /etc/texmf/web2c /var/lib/texmf/web2c /usr/lib/texmf/web2c /usr/local/share/texmf/web2c /usr/share/texmf/web2c TeXExec | start of analysis TeXExec | end of analysis TeXExec | TeXExec | TeXExec | version 6.2.1 - 1997-2009 - PRAGMA ADE/POD TeXExec | TeXUtil | version 9.1.0 - 1997-2005 - PRAGMA ADE/POD TeXExec | CtxTools | version 1.3.5 - 2004/2008 - PRAGMA ADE As a side note: is it possible to generate a JPG file instead of a PDF file? -- Cecil Westerhof M CLDWesterhof(a)gmail.com O< ascii ribbon campaign - stop html mail - www.asciiribbon.org Please do not send me Microsoft Office/Apple iWork documents.

Metafont usage

20 Nov '10

Hi List, hi Hans, I want to use the open source MetaFont for suetterlin and schwellbacher in a document, is there somewhere a guide where to put them and how to load them in ConTeXt or could they be included into the ConTeXt tree. If I get a hint how I would also provide a .map file for them if needed. The link to the fonts is http://texcatalogue.sarovar.org/entries/sueterlin.html Greetings and thanks for the fast help I get here in gerneral... -- Martin 'golodhrim' Scholz Auf dem Sattler 4 34516 Ederbringhausen Germany Phone: +49 6454 799623 mobile: +49 176 63301749 Fax: +49 6454 7990138 e-Mail: scholz.m82(a)googlemail.com ++?????++ Out of Cheese Error.

Re: [NTG-context] Defining a command for enumeration+block
by Glen Callaghan 20 Nov '10

20 Nov '10

Hi Wolfgang, With MkIV blocks are hidden by default while MkII prints them, add \keepblocks[Block] to your document and the blocks will appear. Using \keepblocks worked thanks. Unfortunately, now the \reset command doesn't seem to work in mkiv (see attachment), but's ok in mkii. Glen ------- \defineblock[Block] \defineenumeration[Enum][location=left,text=Test] \setupblock[Block][before=\startEnum,after=\stopEnum] \keepblocks[Block] \starttext \section{Use} \useblocks[Block] \reset[Enum] \section{Define} \beginBlock jhdsa hdsfhj lh dsfjh jkhasdf sdakjhfsal sdkajhf kljsdh \endBlock \beginBlock jhdsa hdsfhj lh dsfjh jkhasdf sdakjhfsal sdkajhf kljsdh fhlkjsad kah dkjh akjhd flkjs lkjsad flkjh salkjhf asd \endBlock \stoptext
