Somebody would have to write some simple code to check for that though. Mojca

reference tag for equations.
by Jeong Dalyoung 26 Jan '11

26 Jan '11

Dear all, 1. I have used \startalign many times before without tag and it worked well. Thanks Aditya. now, I tried to set a tag for an equation using \NR[+]: But there is no reference numbers in the output. Since there is no mention about this problem in the list, I think that it is my only problem, Should I do something special for this? \starttext \startformula\startalign[align={middle, left}] \NC x \NC = n\times r, \NR[+] \NC y \NC = {{n-1}\choose {r-1}}, \NR[+] \NC z \NC = (n-1)\times {r}, \NR[+] \stopalign\stopformula \stoptext 2. Is there a command to reduce the width of the space between letters? For some Korean fonts, the space between letters is a little bit wide. I think that it is not a simple command, it may be very difficult job for me. However, is there a way to do that? My system is Mac OSX 10.6, ConTeXt Minimal ver: 2010.11.12 18:22 MKIV. Thank you for reading. Best regards, Dalyoung

new beta
by Hans Hagen 26 Jan '11

26 Jan '11

Hi, I uploaded a new beta. The most important changes are: - Environments and modules are no longer loaded under protection so this has to be done explicitly in the files themselves. So far we haven't encountered problems with that change. - Some more cont-*.tex files have been split in mkii and mkiv versions. In mkii a tex file is loaded when no mkii file is found, but in mkiv only files with suffix mkiv are loaded. That way we stay compatible. This also means that cont-sys.tex is no longer loaded in mkiv which is okay as normally nothing in there concerns mkiv. If you use that file for setting up for instance another default paperformat, you'd better create a cont-sys.mkiv file. (Maybe that file should go and we should use the configuration file instead.) - The multilingual interface and messages are now loaded at the \LUA\ end. If you observe problems, please let me know. - If you are adventurous you can add the following to cont-new.mkiv \enablemode[*nofonts] This will postpone font loading and will be default soon. This saves runtime when you use another font than latin modern. When no font is loaded before the first \starttext, modern will kick in. A side effect is that any text typeset before \starttext will not show up in the output. If you observe that, you need to setup a bodyfont explicitly beforehand. In practice there should be no problems. The delayed loading is somewhat tricky but has been tested for a while. - There have been some fixes to linebreaks in verbatim. Hopefully I didn't mess things up too much. - An upcoming version will also have \nonknuthmode as default. You can test this by putting this macro in cont-new.mkiv.

\definesynonyms broken?
by Verhaag, G.C.H.M. 26 Jan '11

26 Jan '11

Hi, I use \definesynonyms in several documents but it seems to be broken! For testing purposes I use the folowing command: \definesynonyms[kind][kinds][\infull] \kind{to}{test one!} \kind{t}{sonething else} \definesynonyms[state][states][\infull] \state{a}{anything} \state{ab}{anything b} \starttext My test \infull{to}! \stoptext The \infull{to} in the My test.. line is empty, but if I remove the \definesynonyms[state]... and \state commands the line says: My test test one!! Isn't this very weird? What has happened? Regards, Gerard Verhaag P.S. I use ConTeXt ver: 2011.01.18 19:34 MKIV fmt: 2011.1.19 int: english/english!

Widgets color option not working with Mark IV
by Reviczky, Adam 26 Jan '11

26 Jan '11

Hi, I was playing a bit more with the field style properties and found out that if the font size is always different it works, but as soon as it has a size that was used before it defaults back to normal. Here's the minimal example: % begin of example \starttext \setupfields [label,frame,horizontal] [offset=4pt,height=fit,framecolor=green,background=screen,backgroundscreen=.80] [height=40pt,width=100pt,align=middle,background=screen,backgroundscreen=.90,frame=off] [height=40pt,width=100pt,color=red,align=right,style=type,background=screen,backgroundscreen=.90,frame=off] \setupfield [sizea] [horizontal] [style={\switchtobodyfont[20pt]}] \setupfield [sizeb] [horizontal] [style={\switchtobodyfont[28pt]}] \setupfield [sizec] [horizontal] [style={\switchtobodyfont[20pt]}] \definefield [Emaila] [line] [sizea] [] [pragma(a)wxs.nl] \definefield [Emailb] [line] [sizeb] [] [pragma(a)wxs.nl] \definefield [Emailc] [line] [sizec] [] [pragma(a)wxs.nl] \field [Emaila] [your email] \par \field [Emailb] [your email] \par \field [Emailc] [your email] \stoptext % end of example (field of Emaila has fontsize 20pt as defined, field of Emailb has fontsize 28pt as defined, but field of Emailc defaults back to normal 12pt? size instead of the defined 20pt. See attached pdf.) As for the color option, I couldn't figure out why it's not working at all. Some hints appreciated. Best wishes, Adam

Minimals/MTXrun: 32-bit system with 64-bit kernel: `MTXrun | no 'texmf-linux-64'`
by Paul Menzel 25 Jan '11

25 Jan '11

Dear ConTeXt folks, I am running a 32-bit system with a 64-bit kernel. So relying on uname -m to determine the architecture leads to problems [1]. So I do `cpu = "i686` manually in `first-setup.sh` but I still do get the the following error message. sent 1145 bytes received 8908331 bytes 774737.04 bytes/sec total size is 31230200 speedup is 3.51 MTXrun | mtx update: updating mtxrun for linux: rsync -tgo --chmod=a+x /opt/context/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/mtxrun.lua /opt/context/tex/texmf-linux/bin/mtxrun MTXrun | run: rsync -tgo --chmod=a+x /opt/context/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/mtxrun.lua /opt/context/tex/texmf-linux/bin/mtxrun → MTXrun | no 'texmf-linux-64' under tree /opt/context/tex When you want to use context, you need to initialize the tree by typing: . /opt/context/tex/setuptex `first-setup.sh` executes the following command # download or update the distribution # you may remove the --context=beta switch if you want to use "current" mtxrun --verbose --script ./bin/mtx-update.lua --update --make --force --engine=all --context=beta --platform=$platform --texroot=$PWD/tex $@ but `mtxrun` or `mtx-update.lua` does not seem to honor the option `--platform` all the way. I tried to even hardcode `platform` to `linux` in `mtxrun` but it does not help.¹ elseif name == "linux" then function os.resolvers.platform(t,k) -- we sometims have HOSTTYPE set so let's check that first local platform, architecture = "", os.getenv("HOSTTYPE") or os.resultof("uname -m") or "" if find(architecture,"x86_64") then platform = "linux-64" elseif find(architecture,"ppc") then platform = "linux-ppc" else platform = "linux" end os.setenv("MTX_PLATFORM",platform) os.platform = platform → return "linux" end Could you please tell me, where the path for the `texmf` directory is determined and how I can force that to a certain platform.

field alignment bug in latest beta
by Reviczky, Adam 25 Jan '11

25 Jan '11

Hi, The alignment doesn't apply anymore to the first field (widget) in the latest beta. Here's the minimal example: % begin of example \starttext \setupfield [ShortLine] [label,frame,horizontal] [offset=4pt,height=fit,framecolor=green,background=screen,backgroundscreen=.80] [height=18pt,width=80pt,align=middle,background=screen,backgroundscreen=.90,frame=off] [height=18pt,width=80pt,color=red,align=right,style=type,background=screen,backgroundscreen=.90,frame=off] \definefield [Email] [line] [ShortLine] [] [pragma(a)wxs.nl] \startalignment[middle] \field [Email] [your email] \par \field [Email] [your email] \stopalignment \stoptext % end of example works with: beta 2011-01-24 (see attached pdf) doesn't work with: beta 2011-01-25 (see attached pdf) Best wishes, Adam
