Minimals fail to install on SunOS x86
by Marco 17 Sep '10

17 Sep '10

Hi, I was trying to install the minimals on my SunOS remote server (to have access to MkIV everywhere). But first-install.sh reports the following errors: remote-1 ~/bin/usr/share/context:>./first-setup.sh receiving incremental file list sent 31 bytes received 126 bytes 104.67 bytes/sec total size is 4834848 speedup is 30795.21 ld.so.1: texlua: Schwerer Fehler: Verschiebungsfehler: Datei /storage3_l0/home1/std11815/bin/usr/share/context/bin/texlua: Symbol asprintf: referenziertes Symbol nicht gefunden ./first-setup.sh: line 103: 6759 Killed (Abgebrochen) mtxrun --verbose --script ./bin/mtx-update.lua --update --make --force --engine=all --context=beta --platform=$platform --texroot=$PWD/tex $@ remote-1 ~/bin/usr/share/context:>uname -a SunOS remote-1 5.10 Generic_127128-11 i86pc i386 i86pc Is SunOS x86 not supported? On the luatex home page I see there are binaries available. best regards Marco

offset for enumeration counter
by Philipp Gesang 17 Sep '10

17 Sep '10

Hi all, some specification requests that a numbered list start at arbitrary counter values. I'm using the following line after “\startitemize[...]” to accomplish this: ··8<····························································· \setnumber[itemgroup:itemize]{42} ··8<····························································· Now I'd rather avoid this kind of brute interference with context internals so I'd like to ask whether there is a recommended high-level mechanism that I could use instead? Thanks for your help, Philipp -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments

HOWTO: Typesetting Poetry in ConTeXt
by John Haltiwanger 16 Sep '10

16 Sep '10

I thought I'd give the mailing list a small change of pace---instead of asking how to do it, I will show you :) The short answer is: \starttext My Concrete Poem \startlines All the white space will print ! \stoplines \stoptext However, \startlines..\stoplines is not available when defining a macro. I've documented the solution to this situation on my blog: http://drippingdigital.com/blog/2010/09/typesetting-poetry-in-context/ Thanks to Wolfgang Schuster for helping me work it out!

Designing a ConTeXt thesis template
by Vedran Miletić 16 Sep '10

16 Sep '10

Hi guys, I'm designing a student BSc and MSc/MEd thesis template for our department[1]. Our student volunteered to help me by doing his thesis in ConTeXt, so I could really see what we have to fix or work around. We actually managed to figure out lots of things thanks to mp-cb-en.pdf, but we still have some problems (MkIV only, in MkII it seems to work OK). 1) Footnotes and other references' colors alternate between red and green (eg. page 7). 2) One footnote from TABLE, gets lost, while the other one appears normally (eg. page 28). 3) Reference in PDF bookmarks to 4.3 Konsolidacija doesn't get created properly. Same for 6.3. 4) Last figure in list of figures's link is broken (page 13), and so are almost all links in list of tables (page 11) PDF is here: http://www.inf.uniri.hr/~vmiletic/context/d-thes-inf-diplomski.pdf Source is here: http://www.inf.uniri.hr/~vmiletic/context/d-thes.zip (ignore the lack of bibliography, it doesn't affect anything mentioned above) Thanks in advance for any help. -- Vedran Miletić [1] http://www.inf.uniri.hr/

try this: \starttext \setupcolors[state=start] \definedfont[SansBold at 35mm] \baselineskip 0pt % switch off the space between the stripes \lineskip 0pt \def\MyLogo{\vbox{\hbox{\CONTEXT}\null}} % null is necessary for the whole bounding box \def\Number{30} \dorecurse{\Number}{\definecolor[Col:\recurselevel][c=0,m=\ctxlua{tex.print(\recurselevel/\Number)},y=1,k=0]} \dorecurse{\Number}{ \clip[ny=\Number,y=\recurselevel]{\color[Col:\recurselevel]\MyLogo} } \hbox{\dorecurse{\Number}{\clip[nx=\Number,x=\recurselevel]{\color[Col:\recurselevel]\MyLogo}}} \stoptext (With the help of Taco, Piotr and Wolfgang - thanks!) Have fun! Hraban
