System variable HOME
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 19 Nov '12

19 Nov '12

Hello, it seems that Ctx [re]defines the system variable HOME on its run; compare: - command line: " C:\Lukas\Jobs\HubI-ISK.DSP\SO_210\Statics.Tx>set home Home=C:\Lukas HOMEDRIVE=C: HOMEPATH=\Documents and Settings\LPR " - and result of: ---- t-Home.mkiv \starttext \directlua{context(os.getenv("Home"))} \stoptext ---- -> C:/Documents and Settings/LPR Is it possible to avoid this substitution anyhow? - I'd need to keep (or access) the original value (= "C:\Lukas"). TIA. Best regards, Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.

\startplacefigure equivalent of \placefigure
by Romain Diss 18 Nov '12

18 Nov '12

Hi all, I did not find the \startplacefigure equivalent of: \placefigure [high,low] % <- here are the options I need {test} {\externalfigure[pic-test]} I checked in the sources but found nothing about these 'high', 'low' options. Anybody has an idea? Thanks in advance. -- Romain Diss <romain.diss(a)yahoo.fr>

Section alone on the page
by "H. Özoguz" 18 Nov '12

18 Nov '12

How to permit the section-title to be set alone on the page-buttom? I do not want to start always a new page with \section, but in the cases, where the title is set alone on the page, it should start a new page before \section. Huseyin

simpleslides placeTitle undefined control sequence
by Ondřej Hošek 18 Nov '12

18 Nov '12

Hi, I've encountered another simpleslides problem, which can probably be chalked up to mkiv's "moving target" status. Minimal example: \usemodule[simpleslides] \setupTitle[title=Hi] \starttext \placeTitle \stoptext Error with mkiv, ConTeXt 2012.11.14 11:37: ! Undefined control sequence. {snip} <argument> \??vars :simpleslides:title: \dousestylehashparameter #1#2->\ifcsname #1 #2\endcsname \expandafter \douses... \dostartattributes ...estylehashparameter {#1}{#2} \dousecolorhashparameter {... \placeTitle ...pleslides:title:}\c!style \c!color \simpleslidestitlecomponen... l.4 \placeTitle Cheers, ~~ Ondra

Odd bug with \startitemize
by Rogers, Michael K 18 Nov '12

18 Nov '12

For some reason I used someone's earlier posting to test something about my tex software and accidentally happened upon this odd behavior. If the \startitemize code below is repeated 10 or more times, either with \dorecurse or by pasting it ten times, only one is typeset. If nine times, then all nine are typeset. If "Some text" is un-commented, then all ten are typeset along with "Some text." (If working with the pasted version, the "Some text" can appear after the first or second iteration, or before any iteration that appears on the first page, and all itemizations will appear.) Michael MWE: ------------------------ \starttext %Some text \dorecurse{10}{ \startitemize \item Find a well-ordered set. \startitemize[n, columns, four][stopper=,left=(, right=)] \item $\{ 2 + \frac{1}{n}, n \in\naturalnumbers\}$ \item $[0, 1)$ \item $\{3 - \frac{2}{n}, n \in \naturalnumbers\}$ \item $ \reals$ \stopitemize \stopitemize } \stoptext ________________________________ This e-mail message (including any attachments) is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
