An elisp script for converting LaTeX to ConTeXt in emacs
by Michael Murphy 16 Jun '10

16 Jun '10

Hi all, one of the biggest drawbacks to writing my thesis in ConTeXt was that much of the material had already been written in LaTeX, and I didn't really want to have to go through by hand and change all the syntax. Borne out this laziness was atoctx.el (which originally meant 'AMSTeX to ConTeXt', but perhaps now should be called 'latoctx.el'). It's essentially a set of macros that look through a document and tries to convert lots of different LaTeX syntax to ConTeXt. At the moment, it handles the following environments: equation gather align footnote enumerate figure and the following macros cite emph There are still bugs, and several more environments would be useful, but if anyone thinks that it would be useful to them, then please go ahead and use it. (Even better, if you'd like to help me write more of it, drop me a line.) I know that it's written in elisp which perhaps already excludes a majority of people who don't use emacs, but I didn't have the patience to write it in any other language. Anyway, you can grab it at http://github.com/murphy-md/atoctx -- Michael Murphy

alignment in TABLE
by Peter Münster 15 Jun '10

15 Jun '10

Hello, Here is an alignment problem due to the rulethickness. Is there a cleaner and more elegant solution? \starttext \section{First line shifted to the right by a bit less than 2pt} \setupTABLE[offset=0pt, frame=off] \setupTABLE[r][1][bottomframe=on, rulethickness=2pt] \bTABLE \bTR\bTD bla \eTD \eTR \bTR\bTD bla \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \section{Workaround} \setupTABLE[offset=0pt, frame=off, rulethickness=0pt] \setupTABLE[r][1][bottomframe=on, rulethickness=2pt, loffset=-2pt] \bTABLE \bTR\bTD bla \eTD \eTR \bTR\bTD bla \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext TIA for any help! Cheers, Peter -- Contact information: http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

Two \framed texts, one below the other
by Marcin Borkowski 15 Jun '10

15 Jun '10

Hi all! When I say \framed{a} \framed{b} there is some space between frames. How can I turn it off? I want to say something like \framed[bottomframe=off]{top left \hss top right} \framed[topframe=off]{center} to get +----------------------------------------------+ |top left top right| | | | center | | | | | +----------------------------------------------+ Is there a better way to do something like this? Regards -- Marcin Borkowski (http://mbork.pl)

color in MKIV and Metapost
by Erik Margraf 14 Jun '10

14 Jun '10

Dear All, the small example attached behaves in mkii (texexec) as expected. The string "CONTEXT" as well as a little square are colored. Using mkiv (context) only the little square is colored. The "CONTEXT" string is black. Tested on two different linux systems, both 64 Bit. -- CentOS 5, Context 2010.05.24 13:05 -- Debian - Squeeze, Latest Beta from Yesterday (13.06) What am I missing? Thanks! Erik

bibtex failure on latest minimals
by Alan BRASLAU 14 Jun '10

14 Jun '10

An update today of the minimals breaks the bibtex search path: This is BibTeX, Version 0.99d (TeX Live 2010/pretest) Capacity: max_strings=150000, hash_size=150000, hash_prime=127507 The top-level auxiliary file: Livre.aux I couldn't open style file cont-no.bst ---line 2 of file Livre.aux : \bibstyle{cont-no : } I'm skipping whatever remains of this command I found no style file---while reading file Livre.aux whereas minimals from Friday (11 June) succeeds: This is BibTeX, Version 0.99d (TeX Live 2010/pretest) Capacity: max_strings=150000, hash_size=150000, hash_prime=127507 The top-level auxiliary file: Livre.aux The style file: cont-no.bst Alan
