multiple flow charts in the same document
by Chen Shen 04 Sep '10

04 Sep '10

Hi all, I want to place multiple flow charts in the same document. However, connection comments displays correctly in the first chart, but disappears in the second chart. Below is a minimum example adapted from the wiki. I am using mkiv, MTXrun | current version: 2010.07.30 11:35 This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.62.0-2010082314 Any suggestions? Thanks a lot! regards, shenchen -------------------------------------- \usemodule[chart] \starttext \setupFLOWcharts[height=3\lineheight] \startFLOWchart[example] \startFLOWcell \name {flow} \location {1,1} \text {Flow} \connection [bt] {chart} \comment[r] {abc} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \name {chart} \location{1,2} \text {Charts} \stopFLOWcell \stopFLOWchart \FLOWchart[example] \startFLOWchart[clone] \startFLOWcell \name {flow} \location {1,1} \text {Flow} \connection [bt] {chart} \comment[r] {abc} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \name {chart} \location{1,2} \text {Charts} \stopFLOWcell \stopFLOWchart \FLOWchart[clone] \stoptext --------------------------------------

ConTeXt Minimals: `luatools --selfupdate` does not work.
by Paul Menzel 03 Sep '10

03 Sep '10

Dear ConTeXt folks, I installed ConTeXt minimals and tried to run luatools --selfupdate as documented in the Wiki [1]. It looks like, the option is not supported anymore, since the output looks like a list of supported options.

Presentation Styles: `texexec --pdf --mode=demo s-pre-xx` still valid?
by Paul Menzel 03 Sep '10

03 Sep '10

Dear ConTeXt folks, to test presentation styles the Wiki [1] lists the following command to execute. texexec --pdf --mode=demo s-pre-xx Unfortunately that does not work on my Debian Sid/unstable system (TeXLive 2009). I reported it to the Debian BTS [2]. $ texexec --pdf --mode=demo /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/s-pre-00 MTXrun | kpse fallback with progname 'context' initialized in 0.02 seconds TeXExec | processing document '/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/s-pre-00' TeXExec | no ctx file found TeXExec | tex processing method: context TeXExec | TeX run 1 TeXExec | writing option file s-pre-00.top TeXExec | using randomseed 1037 TeXExec | tex engine: pdftex TeXExec | tex format: cont-en This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (TeX Live 2009/Debian) restricted \write18 enabled.

TABLE border width for row
by Jan Pohanka 03 Sep '10

03 Sep '10

Hello, is it possible to increase border width of single row (or column) without affecting "inner" (between cell) borders using TABLE macro? On the wiki, there is a solution for wider border around whole table using additional \framed, would work something similar for single row? \setupTABLE[r][2][rulethickness=2pt] \bTABLE \bTR \bTD \eTD \bTD \eTD \bTD \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD \eTD \bTD \eTD \bTD \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD \eTD \bTD \eTD \bTD \eTD \eTR \eTABLE best regards Jan -- Tato zpráva byla vytvořena převratným poštovním klientem Opery: http://www.opera.com/mail/

Wiki: Tables Overview: What table macros are deprecated?
by Paul Menzel 02 Sep '10

02 Sep '10

Dear ConTeXt folks, I was reading up about tables and found the overview in the Wiki [1] with the following remark. Not each provides everything you may need, and the older ones are deprecated. [1] Could someone please clarify which macros are deprecated or which are the recommended or supported/still developed ones. This question is also asked on the discussion page. Thanks, Paul [1] http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Tables_Overview [2] http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Talk:Tables_Overview

mathbold greek letters
by Chen Shen 02 Sep '10

02 Sep '10

Hi all, First I admit that I've never understood the typescript part of ConTeXt... I've been using the following recipe for boldmath. The latin letters appears fine in bold italic font, but the greek letters do not appear. --------------------------- \definetypeface [boldmath] [mm] [boldmath] [latin-modern] [modern] [encoding=texnansi] \setupbodyfont[10pt] \starttext $a b c \alpha \beta \phi$ $\bi a b c \alpha \beta \phi$ \stoptext --------------------------- Looking at the log file, I found the following error message: --------------------------- Missing character: There is no α (U+03B1) in font LMMath10-Regular! Missing character: There is no α (U+03B1) in font LMMath10-Regular! Missing character: There is no β (U+03B2) in font LMMath10-Regular! Missing character: There is no β (U+03B2) in font LMMath10-Regular! Missing character: There is no ϕ (U+03D5) in font LMMath10-Regular! --------------------------- Apologize for dumb questions. I wonder why LMMath Regular is looked-up here, I thought we should be looking-up LMMathItalic10-Bold? Thanks a lot. regards, ShenChen

Mark IV with TL2010 pretest
by Abdulrahman Al-Abdulsalam 02 Sep '10

02 Sep '10

Hello, I am installing TL2010 pretest and wonder whether ConTeXt Mark IV runs out of the box or there are certain setup procedures to go. Also I would be grateful if someone can point to a good reading resource for how to get opentype fonts going with the ConTeXt's LuaTeX engine. Thanks in advance. -- Abdulrahman Al-Abdulsalam Colleges of Applied Science - Oman

Postscript Type1 fonts & MK IV
by John Magolske 01 Sep '10

01 Sep '10

I'd like to get some Postscript Type1 fonts working with MK IV (installed via the minimals under Linux). I placed the *.pfb fonts in ~/.fonts and did: mtxrun --script fonts --reload mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=* ...but the output doesn't show any of the *.pfb fonts. The *.ttf fonts installed alongside them in ~/.fonts do show up, and I can create PDFs with those ttf fonts using the `context` command, but I'm not sure how to proceed with the Postscript fonts. Thanks for any suggestions, John -- John Magolske http://B79.net/contact

ConTeXt meeting Lua tutorials
by Taco Hoekwater 01 Sep '10

01 Sep '10

Hi all, Today I started preparations for my activities at the ConTeXt meeting. There are two small lua tutorials in the program, and I am looking for input on both. There is one that is supposed to be a general beginner's introduction, and one specifically about fonts. For both, I am looking for input on what subjects I should cover? Since both tutorials will end up as articles/wiki pages, it makes sense to ask everybody on the list for input (but requests by actual attendees will be scored considerably higher). Best wishes, Taco
