By the way, XeTeX also breaks, but in a different way. "Računalne mreže" becomes "RaÄ“unalne mreÅ¾e". Same option also doesn't do anything. MkIV works nicely, and I know I should probably be using that, but LaTeX with hyperref can do unicode bookmarks in both XeTeX and pdfTeX, so it would be really cool if ConTeXt would be able to do it as well.

Hullo, I wonder whether MkII or MkIV is included in TexLive 2009 (and which one in 2008)... Cheers, Matija -- gsm: +386 41 849 552 www: http://matija.suklje.name xmpp: matija.suklje(a)gabbler.org

Dear list, With the following example: \setuplayout[grid=yes] \setuphead[section][alternative=text] \starttext \section{Test}\input knuth \stoptext I get the attached result. I would expect no "empty line" between the section line and the rest of the paragraph. Any advices? Best regards, Mikael PS Using an updated MKIV

Unable to use example from Excursion
by Alain Delmotte 19 Mar '10

19 Mar '10

Hi! I am going through "ConTeXt an excursion", but I cann't get the example of table 11.9 (page 34, source pp 32-33) to work. I always get an error: ------------------------ ! Argument of \docheckifiteminsetelse has an extra }. <inserted text> \par <to be read again> } \@@kjtabletitle ->Use of \type {\setuptables } . \doif #1#2->\edef \!!stringa {#1 }\edef \!!stringb {#2}\ifx \!!stringa \!!str... \dostructurecountercomponent ...\c!title }\v!none {\setfalse \hasstructureco... \docompletefloat ...c!title ={#4},\c!bookmark =][] \globallet \currentfloatnu... ... l.420 \stopcombination ? ------------------------ I have tried to comment different parts of the code, but this didn't help (even if the error changed). The code is exactly the code from the book (copy/paste from the .pdf) Further, I do not see the effect of \setupcaption[style=boldslanted] in example 11.10 (pp 34-35) I am using the minimals distribution, MKIV on Windows XP SP3. Thanks for the help, Alain

\mapsto is missing
by Mikael Persson 19 Mar '10

19 Mar '10

Dear list, the \mapsto arrow seems to be missing. \starttext $A\mapsto B=f(A)$ \stoptext gives the attached pdf document. I'd expect something like what is in the pic attached. Can this be added? Best regards, Mikael

19 Mar '10

I have an (old, I suppose) Mac pc on my desk. It works, but I don't know anything about it apart that it looks like a *nix from terminal. It has has also Emacs ! I would like to use TeXLive or at least ConTeXt minimals and FontForge but it think I need at least a compiler first... Any help really appreciate. -- luigi

Vim module errors
by Adam C.M. Solove 19 Mar '10

19 Mar '10

Hi all, Has anyone used the vim module recently and I recently installed the third-party vim module for syntax highlighting in my minimal install of ConTeXt MKIV/LuaTeX: ./first-setup.sh --extras="t-vim" context --generate I tried a minimal example from the manual: \starttext \usemodule [vim] \definevimtyping [C] [syntax=c,numbering=on] \startvimcolorscheme [default] \definevimsyntax [Type] [style=boldmono] \definevimsyntax [PreProc] [style=slantedmono] \stopvimcolorscheme \startC #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> void main() { printf("Hello World\n"); return; } \stopC \stoptext You can see the ConTeXt live output (See full output<http://live.contextgarden.net/output.cgi?id=dO7150>) The problem is: ! I can't find file `texweb-vimsyntax.tmp-vimsyntax.tmp'. <to be read again> Looks like the filename munging has some issues. Also, when I manually type in the correct file name, I then get further errors which seem to indicate the source code is not within a literal environment: ! You can't use `macro parameter character #' in horizontal mode. l.1 # include <stdio.h> I have vim installed and accessible on the path, and do have the C syntax. I'm not TeXpert enough to troubleshoot the actual source, does anyone know what might cause this behavior? Thanks, Adam

Unexpected format of reference
by Mikael Persson 19 Mar '10

19 Mar '10

Dear list, the following example gives me unexpected format of the last reference to the section \definereferenceformat[eqref][left={(},right={)}] \starttext \section[sec:test]{Test} We are now in \in{Section}{}[sec:test]. \placeformula[eq:general] \startformula A=B \stopformula In~\eqref[eq:general]\dots We are now in \in{Section}{}[sec:test]. \stoptext The last reference to the section gets the format (1) instead of just 1. I believe this was not so previously. PDF attached. I use an updated MKIV minimals. Best regards, Mikael
