problem with mpost/metafun/MKII/MKIV???
by Rene van Hassel 29 Aug '10

29 Aug '10

Hello Members, I have a problem with texlive 2009. In the version 2007, I made some file with "decorations", made by metapost.Then you got a list of numbered -mpgraph files. In the version 2009, I don't getns these files and my .pdf files are without the "decorations". With "decorations" I mean blocks around pieces of text, witin a lecture note. Also the first page is white, till it was first green with some figures on it. While texexec works, I see mpgraph files but only numbered by .1, in the 2007 version it started by 4000 and it went to almost 3650. I see also that there is made use of MKIV instead of MKII in the 2007 version. What to do such that the 2009 version, gives the same result as the 2007 version. I installed the 2009 version of the TUG side with tlmgr and almost everything of texlive is installed. Only most of the languages are not installed, further everything, greetings, Rene'

startenumerate in romans a la LaTeX
by Xan 28 Aug '10

28 Aug '10

Hi, I just want to simulate the behaviour of \usepackage{enumerate} ... \begin{enumerate}[(i)] \item \end{enumerate} in ConTeXt. That is: - items in (i), (ii), .... - right indentation of items: in context items start at the same point. In LaTeX is the item text itself who starts at the same point, not the romans. Can anyone help me? Thanks, Xan. PS: Please CCme.

ConTeXt Minimals and TEXMFCACHE
by Nicola 28 Aug '10

28 Aug '10

Hi, according to the wiki “ConTeXt minimals does not touch anything outside its installation folder”, but if TEXMFCACHE is not set by setuptex, actually many files may be written outside the ConTeXt minimals folder, and (as in my case) they may conflict with the files written by ConTeXt from TeX Live in the same cache folder. Is there any reason why exporting TEXMFCACHE is commented out in setuptex? Nicola

I'm also considering installing the minimals Just do apt-get install context should be enough. But that is not the most recent context, I haven't found time for packaging a more current version for now. I hope that I can manage it in the next weeks.
