Windows minimals installer
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 26 Jul '11

26 Jul '11

Hi! I just noticed that --extras tag was replaced with --modules. This leads to changes in my Windows installer code. BTW, does anyone uses my installer? I have got no suggestions or feedback yet. ;) -- Best Regards, Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky

markdown

Hi, As it happened that I needed to print a readme.markdown file, the new beta now has a new extra: context --extra=markdown readme.markdown For some options see: context --extra=markdown --help It will never look real good, but it's better than printing verbatim.

Weirdness with the names of files processed
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 26 Jul '11

26 Jul '11

Hello ConTeXist I met with great strangeness. When I was looking for a mistake in my source text, so I experimented and at one point I renamed myfile so that there are "+" in its name. At that moment compilation ran flawlessly. I know that the use of + in the filename is relatively non-standard, but even so I was surprised Now everything works fine, but I decided to send it as a curiosity rather than to be annoyed by someone. It's really strange and it took me a long time before I discovered the cause of the collapse of the compilation. Unfortunately I am unable to put together a minimal example, which worked, but it is interesting, that compilation will be OK in two cases: 1. when I rename the file to name without "+" or 2. when images are not to be found (for example when I comment the line which contain \setupexternalfigures[directory={flags/}]) Conversely, if "+" is part of the filename, while images are found, the compilation will collapse and prints a message that I mention below. I present here an minimal example (with message list), BUT THAT WILL NOT WORK because they do not have my library, but although the problem probably caused by my library, so it probably is not very important at this point because the problem is maybe a bit wider. Best regards Jaroslav Hajtmar Here is my minimal example. When the file called "list-aaa.tex" so everything is OK. When the file named "list+aaa.tex" and pictures are found, the compilation fails: \usemodule[../../t-scancsv.mkiv/t-scancsv] \setupexternalfigures[directory={flags/}] \def\flagpicture{\externalfigure[\Flag.png]} %\Flag macro is defined by my library \unexpanded\def\tableaction{\expanded{\bTR\bTD\ \flagpicture\eTD\eTR}} \starttext \setheader \setsep{,} \setfiletoscan{lide.csv} \bTABLE \doloopif{\Flag}{~=}{en}{\tableaction} \eTABLE \stoptext And here is message of compilation list: C:\1da\ConTeXt-MkIV\t-scancsv.mkiv\CTMagenda>context --autopdf list+aaa mtx-context | run 1: luatex --fmt="C:/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/2448223e6631addb83df348d74153606/formats/cont-en" --lua="C:/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/2448223e6631addb83df348d74153606/formats/cont-en.lui" --backend="pdf" "./list+aaa" \stoptext This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.70.1-2011061421 (rev 4277) \write18 enabled.

solved-how to make "\getmarking[title]" show using default font size?
by Jeong Dalyoung 26 Jul '11

26 Jul '11

Dear all, For the header text, I used \getmarking as follows: \setupheadertexts[][{\getmarking[{\v!title}]}] ***** This problem comes from my setting which is as follows: \title{\ss\bf\tfb Title} I changed it by using the definition as follows: \def\Mytitle#1{% \framedtext [width=\overlaywidth, height=5\bodyfontsize, background=color, backgroundcolor=lightgray, offset=2pt, strut=no, frame=off, align=middle, top=\vss, bottom=\vss]{ \sans #1} } \setuphead[title][textcommand=\Mytitle] This makes everything fine. Thank you for reading. Best regards, Dalyoung

by Jeong Dalyoung 25 Jul '11

25 Jul '11

Dear all, For the header text, I used \getmarking as follows: \setupheadertexts[][{\getmarking[{\v!title}]}] Then it showed title in the header as shown in the text which is bigger than default bodyfont size. It is rather big for the header text. How to make it using the default font size or smaller one? Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung

minimals: How to prevent that core and modules become incompatible?
by Paul Menzel 25 Jul '11

25 Jul '11

Dear ConTeXt folks, I just experienced a situation that I wanted to try a module, in this case TikZ [1][2], and I only had run `./first-setup.sh`, so the module and “core” were diverted and I got an error message. ! Undefined control sequence. system > tex > error on line 396 in file tikz.tex: Undefined control sequence ... \pgfutil@addpdfresource@colorspaces ...olorspaces {#1} l.396 ...rspaces{ /pgfprgb [/Pattern /DeviceRGB] } Running `./first-setup.sh --extras=all` fixed the problem for me, but not wanting to install all extras it is quite hard to insert/remember all extras installed on the system. Is there a command to prevent these kind of things or should an option `upgrade` be introduced? Thanks, Paul [1] http://modules.contextgarden.net/ [2] http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TikZ

5th context meeting news update
by Taco Hoekwater 25 Jul '11

25 Jul '11

Hi, No, we did not move the venue again. Some other news this time: == Program == We now have a (preliminary) program online at http://meeting.contextgarden.net/2011/programme.shtml There is still some room open as 'to be filled in', so if you have a topic you want to talk (or hear) about, please let us know. There is lots more that we could have talks about ... For Hans' Question and Answers session, it helps if the questions come in beforehand as he may need time to prepare, especially for complicated questions. In the program, you will see that we have an excursion planned. There are rumours that one of the top-ten best beers in the world is ripened for consumption in a cave no more than 12km from the meeting venue. It should be obvious that this cave warrants close investigation :) == Early bird / Bursaries / Registration == Today is the last 'safe' day for international money transfers for people that want to be eligible for early bird discount. There is still money in the bursary fund, so if finances are your main reason for not having registered yet for this year's meeting, please contact Hans or me to apply for some financial support. And remember, registration is still open in any case! Best wishes, Taco

theorem environment

Hello, Using ConTeXt, I would like to define environments to appear like ---------------------------------------------- Theorem 1.4 (Pythagoras) In any right triangle, $c^2 = a^2 + b^2$ holds where ... ---------------------------------------------- and --- Example 1.1 ------------------- Let $a=2$ ... ----------------------------------- and (e. g. small, slanted or whatever) Remark 1.3 ---------- | Euclidean ... | ... . After browsing the documentation on the web, focussing on \defineenummeration, I'm still nowhere near the solution. Could anyone please give examples of how to do this? Regards, Andreas

ConTeXt for Android?
by Piotr Kopszak 24 Jul '11

24 Jul '11

Hello list, I was wondering if anybody thinks about porting ConTeXt to Android. Perhaps it wouldn't be as useless as it seems at first sight. Only after the first month of using an android phone I'm amazed how my habits changed and how reluctantly I resort to my laptop when I can do something with my phone (this is not a commercial, amazingly).
