Hey Adam, it works with the .tex suffix. I can remove that tomorrow or whenever that's patched. In the mean time, it's not a big deal to work around. However, I have a question about one of the component files you edited, Source/Preface/Preface.tex. This is what yours looks like: \startcomponent Preface \product Handbook \startchapter{Preface} Foo \stopcomponent This is what mine looked like: \startchapter{Preface} Foo ConTeXt ingests both of them without problem. Is there any reason for the more verbose method you gave? -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

interpunct is not shown like \cdot in mathmode
by yoraxe 24 Jun '11

24 Jun '11

Hey. Trying to use the interpunct · as a dot operator (normally \cdot), I noticed, that it is not shown correctly in math mode. Since the interpunct has different applications in different languages, in text mode its appearance seems to be okay. But isn't it possible to change its functionality to a multiplication sign in math mode? Find tex- and pdf-file attached. Yoraxe

Using Mkiv

24 Jun '11

I have Texlive installed on Ubuntu Linux x64. The version is listed as "2009-11." According to http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Running_Mark_IV#Introduction, with this version, I should be able to compile by typing context filename.tex at the command line, but I get the error MTXrun | forcing cache reload MTXrun | resolvers: warning: no lua configuration files found MTXrun | resolvers MTXrun | resolvers MTXrun | the resolver databases are not present or outdated MTXrun | resolvers: using suffix based filetype 'lua' MTXrun | resolvers: using suffix based filetype 'lua' MTXrun | resolvers: remembering file 'mtx-context.lua' MTXrun | resolvers: using suffix based filetype 'lua' MTXrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua'

Re: [NTG-context] Metafun shifting pictures - again
by Jeong Dalyoung 24 Jun '11

24 Jun '11

Hi all, I got the reason why the pictures locate in different position. "rotation" causes the problem. I defined domino as follows. It is not the exact code but just show the form of the codes. ... def domino (a, b, c, d ) save pic; picture pic; draw something 1; draw something 2; pic := currentpicture; draw pic rotated 90 shifted ( c, d ); enddef; and call it using \startbuffer[domino3] domino (1, 2, 3, 4); domino (2, 1, 1, 2); domino (3, 3, 2, 3); \stopbuffer and \processMPbuffer[]. it draw the first domino at the right place, but it is rotated when the second domino is drawn. Hence, it actually rotated 180 degree. Also two dominos rotated again when the third domino is drawn. Previous drawings are rotated again again when the function domino called. How to avoid this problem? How to draw one figure and move to wanted position and draw another figure and move to another location without changing the previous figure? If you want to see the whole codes, please see the attachment in the previous mail in ntg-context Digest, Vol 84, Issue 94. Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung

May I simply delete http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Install_Mark_IV and remove references? There are some other pages on the list that need very heavy revisions, but I will list those later. Mojca

I guess vertical typesetting is a little more involved, but as far as horizontal typesetting goes, most of the spacing is coded into the font already (monospacing). When the Latin alphabet enters, as is becoming more and more common, especially in technical literature, the monospacing breaks down, and common practice is to just typeset paragraphs in block form, adding the necessary spacing. Typescripts are already working wonderfully in ConTeXt (thank you!), so for now it should be only a matter of supporting the characters. I don't know what character categories and initializations are, but if I can be of any help, please let me know. Severin
