Indent paragraph after \placefigure
by Marco 14 May '11

How to indent the paragraph after a \placefigure? Example: \setupindenting [yes, medium] \starttext This line is indented as intended. \placefigure[auto][fig:somefigure]{My graphic}{} This is not, but I'd like it to be. This line is fine. \stoptext Marco

bibliography basics
by Hagmann Jörg 05 May '11

05 May '11

I haven't used bibliographies before and have a few basic questions. I am using mkiv, current version: 2011.04.03 22:32. 1. If I interpret the wiki pages correctly, the bib module is not needed for mkiv. On the other hand, examples I found in the archive have "\usemodule[bib]" included, although (I think) they were meant for mkiv, and leaving it out didn't affect the outcome. Question: has \usemodule[bib] no function in mkiv, never? 2. Where can I get documentation? Can Taco's bib-module documentation still be used? (In my experiments in some cases, not in others). 3. The "very basic example" on contextgarden (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Bibliography_mkiv#Example_of_use) gave numbers in the text and an alphabetic list at the end. I added "\setuppublications[alternative=apa]". Would that be the way to do it? Please change it if there is something better (according to bibmod-doc, apa should be default). Thanks, Jörg

intertext error in mkiv
by Vladimir Lomov 05 May '11

05 May '11

Hi. The example with start/stopintertext from 'mathalign.pdf' (My Way, Using \startalign and friends, Aditya Mahajan) gives error with current context (beta): <example file="ex2.tex"> %%% Seems that there is a problem with \start/stopintertext . This command is described in mathalign.pdf %%% (MyWay). \starttext Here the start/stopintertext should give text between formulas \startformula \startalign \NC \exp^{\imath t}=\cos t+\imath\sin t\NR \startintertext This is famous Euler formula, below one is known as Moivre formula \stopintertext \NC (\cos x + \imath\sin x)^{m} = \cos mx+\imath\sin mx \NR \stopalign \stopformula That's it. \stoptext </example> <error_message> ! Misplaced \noalign. \startintertext #1\stopintertext ->\noalign {\dointertext {#1}} l.12 \stopintertext ? </error_message> $ context --version MTXrun | main context file: /usr/local/opt/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/context.tex MTXrun | current version: 2010.11.20 12:51 Is this a bug or I do something wrong? --- WBR, Vladimir Lomov. -- What you don't know won't help you much either. -- D.

problem with printing pdf files (MKIV on Mac)
by Mojca Miklavec 01 May '11

01 May '11

Hello, I'm not sure if anyone will be able to help, but it doesn't hurt to ask. I'm using ConTeXt MKIV 2011.03.11 11:45 (I will try to upgrade first). When I try to print the document from Mac (Skim.app) to two different printers, I get pure junk on both of them (bold and italic fonts come out semi-ok, but regular doesn't). If I print an older document or if I compile the same document with MKII, the document prints out fine on the same printer. The document also prints out fine when printing from Linux. I'm using one network PostScript printer and one network printer that is most probably using PCL drivers and both generate junk. I'm using "palatino" typescript. Mac is well known for displaying Word-generated documents as almost-pure-junk (one gets a different font and screwed up kerning instead of the original font that one would see in Word or in generated PDF when opened with Adobe Acrobat; but I'm not sure if it is Apple or Microsoft that have buggy software in that case) and for crashing on documents using smooth shading patterns. Does anyone have any suggestion how I could figure out what is wrong with the document? I would like to figure out if it is LuaTeX's or Apple's fault that it behaves so weird. (Can I send a document to PostScript printer on specific IP from a Mac without having to use Apple's libraries for handling PDF?) Mojca

modules with no author
by Patrick Gundlach 01 May '11

01 May '11

Hi, the modules "Transliterator" and "Gantt (TikZ)" don't have an author or files. I think they can be removed from modules.contextgarden.net. Any opinion? Patrick http://modules.contextgarden.net/gantt-tikz http://modules.contextgarden.net/Transliterator

MathJax and ConTeXt?
by Otared Kavian 30 Apr '11

30 Apr '11

Hi all, As some of the gurus here may know, MathJax, http://www.mathjax.org allows one to display maths formulas typed in TeX (or LaTeX) and MathML to be correctly displayed on web pages. Many institutions are using MathJax on their site. Does anyone on the list have an idea about the possibility of including ConTeXt support in MathJax? Best regards: OK

mtxrun list?
by Hans van der Meer 30 Apr '11

30 Apr '11

Executing 'mtxrun' without arguments shows the list of commands. There one finds: mtxrun | ConTeXt TDS Runner Tool 1.30 mtxrun | mtxrun | --script run an mtx script (lua prefered method) (--noquotes), no script gives list Doing 'mtxrun --script' I expected to see a list of the available scripts. But this command prints nothing. Is this something to be repaired? Hans van der Meer

Minimals tree on Wiki?
by Hans van der Meer 30 Apr '11

30 Apr '11

Searching information in the Wiki on the minimals tree the following page: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals/Tree did not render as expected, the thumnails are not showing; example: Error creating thumbnail: convert: unable to open image `/var/www/contextgarden.net/contextwiki/images/4/46/P1030314.jpg': No such file or directory. convert: missing an image filename `/var/www/contextgarden.net/contextwiki/images/thumb/4/46/P1030314.jpg/300px-P1030314.jpg'. Is there something amiss here? Hans van der Meer

Hi, I am a latex user trying to extend my knowledge to include ConTeXt. I have installed TeXLive2010 along with some latex editors including TeXWorks. The file attached when run using the Texworks menu item(ConTeXt) or command line texexec option produce the following: MTXrun | kpse fallback with progname 'context' initialized in 0.524 seconds TeXExec | processing document 'sample-letter-test.tex' TeXExec | no ctx file found TeXExec | tex processing method: context TeXExec | TeX run 1 TeXExec | writing option file sample-letter-test.top TeXExec | using randomseed 510 TeXExec | tex engine: pdftex TeXExec | tex format: cont-en This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (MiKTeX 2.8) initexmf: Unknown format name/engine: cont-en/pdfTeX I can't find the default format file! TeXExec | runtime: 0.276 Is there something I'm missing? What exactly is the format file mentioned here? The actual document I am trying to typeset is attached. Thanks.
