Place figure here; jumping over sections
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 04 Dec '12

04 Dec '12

Hi, How to specify that I prefer to place figure "here" in the following code? \startplacefigure \externalfigure[settings_window.png][scale=1000] \stopplacefigure I don't understand, why figures are encouraged to jump across sections and subsections? It makes no sense. Is there a way to prohibit this (e.g., flush all figures at section end, possibly for the cost of white space at page bottom)? At least I could see where problems are, instead of keeping an eye whether figures still belong to their sections. Regards, Vyactheslav

A problem with autopunctuation
by Marcin Borkowski 04 Dec '12

04 Dec '12

If I get it correctly, the following two formulae should render differently - and they don't. What is going on? \setupmathematics[autopunctuation=yes] \starttext $(2,5)$ versus $(2, 5)$ \stoptext Best, -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Adam Mickiewicz University

Copy pages with keeping original page sizes
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

Hello, this is just an announcement and maybe a proposal. I needed to copy all pages from a .pdf file into the document. The pages to be copied were a mix of A4 and A3 pages, with portrait and landscape orientation. Also, I needed to suppress current header & footer and to use the whole page area, like with \setuplayout[page]. I tried various combination of \filterpages, \copypages and \externalfigure - nothing the the whole desired effect. Finally, I created the following snippet: ---- \startluacode function copyPages(fn) local fig = figures.push{name = fn} figures.identify() figures.check() local n = fig.used.pages figures.pop() for i = 1, n do context.startTEXpage() context.externalfigure({fn}, {page = i}) context.stopTEXpage() end end \stopluacode \starttext %\externalfigure[tt.pdf][page=3] \directlua{copyPages("tt.pdf")} \stoptext ---- It seems to work; but it might be better to add an option to an existing command, e.g. \copypages (e.g. "preservecurrentpagesize" and/or "autosize" and/or "fullpage") to achieve the same effect.

You can use Pandoc (http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/) to convert from context to multiple output formats, including txt, html, markdown... even office! Hope this helps.

Including movies in pdf files
by Aditya Mahajan 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

Hi, I was updating the wiki entry on \externalfigures (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/externalfigure) and noticed that I cannot get ConTeXt to include a movie. I tried the following \starttext \externalfigure[clip.mov] \stoptext (where clip.mov is a quicktime movie distributed with Mathematica, which I copied to the current directory). The movie file is 16K and the resultant PDF file is 4.5K, which means that the movie is not embedded in the PDF (which in itself is not a problem, because, IIUC, context does not embed the movie in the pdf file anyways). However, when I open the file in acroread 9.5.1 (on Linux), and no movie is shown in the pdf file. So, does ConTeXt support including movies in pdf files, and if so, can someone provide a minimal working example. Aditya

Which version to use for MathML?
by Chen Shen 02 Dec '12

02 Dec '12

Hi all, I tried a few mathml examples with 2012.05.30 and the latest beta (test script attached). The 20120530 version fails with eqn1, which uses presentation mathml, but works with eqn using content mathml. The latest beta generates doesn't work with either equations. I see a lot of mathml related changes recently, with the file x-mathml.mkiv come and go away. Which version should I go with to get presentation mathml work? thanks and regards, shenchen

Reading product environment within a component file
by Romain Diss 02 Dec '12

02 Dec '12

Hi all, Since I read the thread concerning the LaTeX \includeonly equivalent, I tried again to make to project structure work for me (I gave up some time ago). Here is my problem: I have a product file p.tex %% p.tex \startproduct p \environment e \component c \component d \stopproduct %% end an environment file e.tex %% e.tex \startenvironment e % style commands... \stopenvironment %% end and two component files c.tex and d.tex %% c.tex (d.tex is the same file, except content part) \setupreferencing[autofile=yes] \setupinteraction[state=start] \startcomponent c \product p % content \stopcomponent but no project file. When I run context on the product file, everything is ok. But when I run context on one component file, it doesn't read the environment file because the \product command doesn't seem to be read (that's what I understand from the documentation). So, how should I do to inform context to read the environment mentionned in the product file. Is it obligatory to use a project file to be able to read the parent environment when processing a component? Another question which I think is linked to the previous one is: is one supposed to run context on a component? My different tests shows that a run on a component load all the other components mentionned in the product. So it seems to be equivalent to run context on a product or on a component (except for the environment problem mentionned before). That's also what the wiki seems to say (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Project_structure) "In addition, you have to keep in mind that when compiling a product or component file, ConTeXt goes "up" to the project file and compiles everything it finds in there that is not a \product". So, actually, I'm not able to reproduce the \includeonly equivalent with \component (even if I use \setupreferencing[autofile=yes] and \setupinteraction[state=start]). Do I miss something? All the best. -- Romain Diss <romain.diss(a)yahoo.fr>
