Fatal Error Return Code 70
by Kip Warner 14 Oct '11

14 Oct '11

Hey list, I am trying to compile a book typeset in ConTeXt. I am running the following version: $ context --version resolvers | resolving | loading configuration file 'selfautodir:/share/texmf/web2c/contextcnf.lua' resolvers | resolving | loading configuration file '/usr/share/texmf/web2c/contextcnf.lua' mtx-context | main context file: /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/context.mkiv mtx-context | current version: 2011.10.10 13:38 The hardware I am running ConTeXt on is mips64el (little endian, I think). The error message with nothing that I can see all that unusual before it is: mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 70 ...and then it bails. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

Creating a new page in the wiki
by Marco 14 Oct '11

14 Oct '11

Hi, I stumbled upon the problem of how to add a command to the command reference in the wiki. More general: How to add a new page (not editing an existing one)? Am I missing the obvious? What is the secret trick? Marco

Re: [NTG-context] nice friends-book with ConText - quite ready
by Jan Heinen 14 Oct '11

Hello it was a ConText-night, and as a newby I learned a lot about ConText :-) Here is what I wanted to get: http://www.imagebanana.com/view/f4o3un2c/Entwurffriends.png And here are my results: http://www.imagebanana.com/view/8vq30irn/ContextLayers.png There are only little things which could be improved: How?? 1. where comes the frame around the foto from? How can I switch it off? 2. There is a thin white line between layer A and the Infobox. How to rid of it? 3. How can I get padding into the Infobox? top, botttom, right and left And here is my code for everyone who likes the layout of my friends-book ;-) \definelayer[Kontaktdaten][x=20mm,y=30mm,width=65mm,height=30mm,state=start] \setupbackgrounds[paper][setups=ALayer,background=Kontaktdaten,state=start] \starttext \strut \setlayerframed[Kontaktdaten][background=color,backgroundcolor=lightgreen,width=10mm,height=130mm,frame=off,hoffset=-20mm,voffset=145mm,align=right]{A} \setlayerframed[Kontaktdaten][background=color,backgroundcolor=darkgreen,width=10mm,height=60mm,frame=off,hoffset=-20mm,voffset=85mm,align=right]{B} \setlayerframed[Kontaktdaten][background=color,backgroundcolor=lightgreen,width=60mm,height=175mm,frame=off,hoffset=-10mm,voffset=100mm,align=right]% {Infobox:\crlf Peter\crlf New York\crlf 0171/782801\crlf test(a)test.de} \setlayerframed[Kontaktdaten][width=30mm,height=40mm,frame=\LayoutTest,hoffset=-10mm,voffset=60mm][strut=no,offset=overlay]% {\externalfigure[niceImage][width=30mm,height=40mm]} \page \stoptext Regards Jannis

Behaviour of \tfx versus \tfa
by Hans van der Meer 14 Oct '11

14 Oct '11

I found the following disparity in behaviour between \tfa, etc. and \tfx, \tfxx: \tfa, \tfb etc. do change mathsize too, but \tfx, \tfxx do not % These remedy it: \let\orgtfx\tfx \let\orgtfxx\tfxx \def\tfx{\orgtfx\dosetcurrentfontsize{x}} \def\tfxx{\orgtfxx\dosetcurrentfontsize{xx}} Is the difference intentional? Or is Hans willing to incorporate the change in a next beta? Hans van der Meer

\startmode and \ignorespaces
by Hans van der Meer 14 Oct '11

14 Oct '11

A little while ago I asked whether \doifmode and friends should have an \ignorespaces at the end. Hans Hagen answered "no" and after some reasoning (probably along the same lines as his) I agree with him. Thus one uses in a quite natural way: some text\doifmode{xyz}{ conditional text} following text doing nothing else than: some text conditional text following text. With regard to this it is understandable and correct that extra space is taken in the next construct: some text \doifmode{xyz}{ conditional text} following text. But it looks different to me when using the \startmode .. \stopmode pair. ---- some text. \startmode[xyz] some conditional text. \stopmode further text. In order to avoid here the extra space one has to code an extra % ---- some text. \startmode[xyz]% some conditional text. \stopmode further text. or (not preferred imho): ---- some text.% \startmode[xyz] I think this is error prone as it is al too easy to forget the %. The situation here differs from the \doifmode-case. I tend to believe that the fact that the \startmode[] .. \stopmode construct invites one to separate the statements with newlines (whitespace thus). Therefore I would ask if this plea for an \ignorespaces effect at the end of the \startmode[xyz] should be honored. Hans van der Meer

Dear Wolfgang, >> >> There is an error message, "undefined control sequence as below when I use "\startstructureblockenvironment": > > Use \startsectionblockenvironment. > After changing "structureblock" to "sectionblock", it works fine.
