Re: [NTG-context] Color Lost when Using 'texexec' vs 'context'
by Malte Stien 18 Mar '12

Mojca, Wolfgang, Thank you for explaining that. I had read about the two different versions MkII and MkIV, but did not realise that 'texexec' is the former while 'context' is the latter. > How old was the manual that you were reading? I got that from the "Context Manual" ("Context Manual (cont-eni).pdf"), Section 1.4, which I downloaded quite recently from the website (I have been using Context for less than 2 months). It is dated November 2001, so quite old, you're right. What should I be reading instead? Is there something newer? The reason I switched to "texexec" was this (from the "Context Manual": "During the processing of itemizations the number of items is counted. This is the case with all versions. The next pass this information is used to determine the optimal location to start a new page. So do not despair when at the first parse your itemizations do not look the way you expected. When using TEXexec this is all taken care of." Is this still a problem with "context" or is this problem somehow solved with MkIV anyway? Thank you for all your help; this mailing-list proves very helpful to a novice like me. Regards, Malte.

Hi Wolfgang, > Use also the "broad" keyword for align which makes ConTeXt more tolerant to break the line with ragged text. That did the trick. Thank you so much. Regards, Malte.

setupinterlinespace (exact setting, smaller than 1.0)
by Honza Hejzl 17 Mar '12

17 Mar '12

Hello, I am struggling with this for a very long time. I wish to know if there is any sure way how to work with setupinterlinespace when I am setting ON GRID. When bodyfont is, for my example, 9pt and I set up the interlinespace to 10.8 (i.e. 1.0 – small), there are strange line breaks in pages everywhere (as soon as the command \setupinterlinespace is used, doesn't matter how big the number of line is, the text is broken in that way (expecially when I am trying to use smaller distances). I need working on grid with the possibility to reach exact interlinespace (typically to be able to make linespacing tighter) – my editor has often very strict demands for the page range. The once result is the grid is tighter but the lines are not. According to my tests I think there is no possibility to set smaller interlinespace than 1.0, is it? Any ideas, please? Here is the result: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4393365/interlinespace.png bodyfont 9pt interlinespace 10.8 (for test) Thanks, Honza

mathml question
by Meer, H. van der 17 Mar '12

17 Mar '12

There is something in the processing of mathml I do not understand. I keep the xml-node in a \startxmlsetups my:setup \def\mynode{#1} \stopxmlsetups Doing \xmlflush{\mynode} does typeset the contents of mynode, but not when mynode contains a mathml tree! Then the error is: Undefined control sequence ... \MMLhack ->\let \MMLpar \par \let \par \relax \everyvbox {\let \par \MMLpar } \12>:mml:math ...}} {\automathematics }}{\MMLhack \xmlflush {#1}}\endgroup Tested it with a simple: <math xmlns='http://www.w3c.org/mathml' version='2.0'> <apply><root/> <ci> x </ci> </apply> </math> The strange thing is, when putting the mathlml tree insize <text> mathml-content </text> where: \startxmlsetups xam:text \xmltrim{#1}\par \stopxmlsetups then typesetting goes without an error! Can someone explain this behaviour? Hans van der Meer

Re: [NTG-context] Integration of all the information around ConTeXt
by Jan Heinen 17 Mar '12

17 Mar '12

Nearly half of the work is done now. I 've grouped lots of the ConTeXt-commands into categories (subcategories): http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Category:Commands There you also find commands which are not grouped in subcategories yet. Do you have ideas for more subcategories? If you don't know how to generate them in the Wiki, write the subcategories you suggest here ... and I gladly do the necessary work in the wiki.

mathml
by Meer, H. van der 17 Mar '12

17 Mar '12

I have a mathml question: how to typeset properly a function with an argument: f(x)? In the ConTeXt examples for mathml I see for one: <lambda> <bvar> <ci> x </ci> </bvar> </lambda> But is there something like this for f(x), that is an "f" properly typeset? Hans van der Meer

Color Lost when Using 'texexec' vs 'context'
by Malte Stien 17 Mar '12

17 Mar '12

Hi all, I am using some darkgray in my documents, as in \color[darkgray] foo... which was working out well as long as I was processing my documents with the 'context' command. I recently started using 'texexec' instead, as in texexec --pdf definitions-acronyms-and-abbreviations.tex (which, I understand is preferable) and strangely, all of my darkgray text is now rendered black. Any ideas why the command makes a difference and what to do about it? Regards, Malte. PS: Sorry, for one of my previous emails in which I replied to the full daily digest, which resulted in a very long email to everyone. Won't happen again.

metapost fonts
by Matej Barič 17 Mar '12

17 Mar '12

Hello, In a document I'm writing I'm using urw-garamond font successfully. However I also use metaUML library for metapost where I'd like to have helvetica (or nimbus, heros, etc.). For latin modern sans, I can use this: string metauml_defaultFont; metauml_defaultFont:="ec-lmss10"; But this only works for latin modern sans (which I don't like combined with urwgaramond) but not helvetica. I've tried to use some of txfonts and tex-gyre fonts (which use helvetica/heros/nimbus for their sans-serif) by writing metauml_defaultFont:="txss" and metauml_defaultFont:="ec-qhvcb" but I get an error "pdftex (file rtxss): Font rtxss at 600 not found". I've installed the latest context standalone. Is there any other way to use helvetica in metapost/metauml or how to troubleshoot this error? Thanks, matej

Wolfgang, > Use ?align={flushleft,nothyphenated}?. You mean as in \setuphead[chapter][style=\tfc\ss\bf, alternative=inmargin, align={flushleft, nothyphenated}] I tried that and it has no effect. I also found this article here: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/35686/avoid-hyphenation-in-chapter-t… ...which suggests using \setuphead[chapter][align={flushleft, nothyphenated, verytolerant}] ...but that makes no difference either. My chapter titles continue to run off the page to the right. I am happy to post an example somewhere if that helps. Thank you, Malte.
