Paths for ConTeXt in Texworks
by "H. Özoguz" 16 Nov '12

16 Nov '12

Hello, I was using the build-in ConTeXt of Texlive 2012 - till now. Now I installed the standalone version of ConTeXt (newst version). How to tell Texworks to switch to the standalone context? With pathes are relevant? I tried many paths, but I get always .... resolvers | resolving | using suffix based filetype 'lua' resolvers | resolving | remembering file 'mtx-contexts.lua' resolvers | resolving | remembered file 'mtx-context.lua' resolvers | resolving | using suffix based filetype 'lua' resolvers | resolving | remembering file 'mtx-t-context.lua' resolvers | resolving | using suffix based filetype 'lua' resolvers | resolving | remembering file 'mtx-t-contexts.lua' resolvers | resolving | remembered file 'mtx-t-context.lua' resolvers | resolving | using suffix based filetype 'lua' resolvers | resolving | remembering file 'context.lua' mtxrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua' So which paths I have to add to get the standalone version working with texworks? Thanks Huseyin

I use the Context Version: 2012.05.30 11:26 Do I have to update to use this annotation module? (It does not work.) And is it easy to update, if I have no stand-alone version of ConTeXt, but a version embedded in TexLive? Thanks und viele Grüße Huseyin

A current ConTeXt has the \tolerance set to 200. > > \starttext\the\tolerance\stoptext Correct, my version has tolerance=200 as default, too. But in the manuel I read 250, so it was my mistake. My question is: I want to be absolutely sure, that no word is written in the margin with my settings. And if I use only \setuptolerance [tolerant] it might still happen. The reason for the smal tolerance was, that I want very small tolerance (= nice result ?) in most cases, but if a word is written in the margin, then it should stretch (word in the margin = worst case for me)

Prefixes in section references, bug?
by Robert Blackstone 15 Nov '12

15 Nov '12

Hello, In the latest standalone. 15-11, the following example does no longer work. It gives "??" instead of a section reference. ---------------------------------------------------- \setuphead[chapter][referenceprefix=+] \starttext \chapter[one]{Chapter One} \section[bla]{Blablabla} \chapter[two]{Chapter Two} See \in{Section}[one:bla] \stoptext -------------------------------------------------- Could it be repaired? Best regards, Robert Blackstone

Hyphenation in German
by "H. Özoguz" 15 Nov '12

15 Nov '12

Hi there, I always use \mainlanguage [de] But still, many breakings and stretches are ugly, because context does not know how to hyphenate a word. Of course I can add \- to help, but is there a way to add a bigger list of german words (like DUDEN has) or something like that, not not have to add \- all the time? Huseyin

Using ConTeXt ver: 2012.11.14 11:37 MKIV, the following does not produce a table of content, in fact, it doesn't produce a *.tuc file at all: \setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape] \setuparranging[2SIDE] \starttext \placelist \startchapter[title=chapter] \input knuth \stopchapter \stoptext

[luatex-plain] loading patterns
by Philipp Gesang 15 Nov '12

15 Nov '12

Hi all! (I assume this is the appropriate list for questions regarding luatex-plain.) I am trying to enable the Russian hyphenation patterns. The demo code below works with luatex.fmt but not luatex-plain.fmt (both from tex live). More precisely, after loading the hyphenation patterns for, say, *Latin* I get proper hyphenation. Now when I attempt the same with *Russian*, nothing is hyphenated. (As lang.patterns(id) correctly returns the patterns in both cases, I guess something is missing after updating tex.language.) Any thoughts? Can someone reproduce this? Philipp ================================================================= \def\loadpatterns#1{% \directlua{ local pattern_source = kpse.find_file"#1" texio.write_nl("* loading patterns from file " .. pattern_source) local fh = io.open(kpse.find_file"#1") local new_patterns = fh:read"*a" fh:close() local new_language = lang.new() lang.patterns(new_language, new_patterns) tex.language = lang.id(new_language) %print(lang.patterns(new_language)) }% } % ····························································· % \showhyphens{Циолковский} %% no pattern yet, so both without \showhyphens{Oenothea} %% hyphenation % ····························································· % \loadpatterns{hyph-ru.pat.txt} %% Russian \showhyphens{Циолковский} %% wrong with luatex-plain % ····························································· % \loadpatterns{hyph-la.pat.txt} %% Latin \showhyphens{Oenothea} %% correct with either % ····························································· % \bye

Tolerance and Stretch versus Protrusion and Ugliness
by "H. Özoguz" 15 Nov '12

15 Nov '12

Hi there, at the moment I use for my book \definepapersize[MyBook][A5] \setuppapersize[MyBook][A5] \usemodule [simplefonts][size=11pt] \setmainfont[Times New Roman][expansion=quality,protrusion=quality] \setupalign [hanging] \setuptolerance[stretch] \tolerance 70 Is it suitable to use tolerance and stretch in this way together? Of course I want a nice type area - but for me that means that I definitely don't want a word written in the margin! (That happens with the default \tolerance 250 (without using stretch). What would you recommend? Are there other values to play with, to get a better result? Thanks Huseyin
