is it possible to define \tfxxx and \tfxxxx?
by Pablo Rodríguez 23 Jul '12

23 Jul '12

Hi there, after reading the reference manual on font switches, I still have a question. For my presentation I need to use a default higher font size: \usemodule[simplefonts][size=30pt] But given that \tfx and \tfxx scale the font to 0.8 and 0.6, I would need to scale the font also to 0.4 and 0.2 (at least to 0.4). Is there any way to define the \tfxxx? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

usemodule[letter]

Hello together, my old set-up was an Ubuntu/tex-live installation, but I recently (finally) did a reset-up, and I am now running ArchLinux together with the context-minimals-git from AUR [1]. This should contain the latest build. As I understand it, there has been an update to the letter-module, but there is currently no updated documentation available. Is this correct? Please have a look at the following minimal example ------ >8 ------ min-ex.tex \enableregime[utf] \mainlanguage[de] \usemodule[letter] \setupletter [ toname={Max Musterman} , toaddress={Musterstraße 10} , fromname={Me} , fromaddress={Muster Weg 10} , phone={0123-45678} , mobile={0175-31689} , date=\currentdate , list={phone,mobile,date} , subject={This is a minimal example with missing reference list} , opening={Sehr geehrter Mustermann,} , closing={Mit freundlichen Grüßen,} , signature={Me} ] \startletter \input knuth \stopletter ------ >8 ------ $ texexec min-ex.tex or $ context min-ex.tex will only display the current date on the very right, but no phone or mobile number. 1) What is the new way of setting up the reference line? 2) Please also note the "space" between the addresser and his/her address in the addressee field. Is there a way to get rid of this space? Thank you very much for your help. Thomas [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=30398

Re: [NTG-context] about \startformula\startalign error

Dear Aditya, > \startformula must occur inside a vbox. So, use a matrix environment as you are doing, or wrap the formula inside a \framed[align=normal]. > Thank you for your solution. \framed[frame=off,align=normal]{\startformula\startalign ... \stopalign\stopformula} is working. I have two more questions. 1. In the output of the following code, 'x' in the first column is vertically centered, but matrix in the second column is not(located at top). What option can solve this? \starttable[|c|c|w4cm|w4cm|] \HL \NC A \VL B \VL C \VL D \NC\SR \HL \NC $x$ \VL \startmatrix \NC x' = \NC \NR \NC y' = \NC \NR \stopmatrix \VL \VL \NC\SR \HL \stoptable 2. In the output of the following code, the matrix in the second column is vertically centered, but 'x' in the first column is located at the bottom. \starttext \starttable[|c|c|w4cm|w4cm|] \HL \NC A \VL B \VL C \VL D \NC\SR \HL \NC $y$ \VL {\framed[frame=off, align=normal]{\startformula\startalign \NC x' = \NC \NR \NC y' = \NC \NR \stopalign\stopformula}} \VL \VL \NC\LR \HL \stoptable \stoptext Both of them are good for compiling, but need a slight touch. Would you please tell me how to set all columns vertical centered? Best regards, Dalyoung

Now \eqaligno crashes. Please, can this be repaired. It is so common a macro that I cannot complete my work without. Minimal example: \starttext \placeformula\startformula \eqalignno{ x &= j\cr x &= j\cr } \stopformula \stoptext ! Undefined control sequence. \eqalignno ->\math_both_eqalign_no_normal \math_prepare_r_eqalign_no l.3 \eqalignno Hans van der Meer

This seems to work here. No, I had not thought of that because I do not cite anything. But yes, it does work! Thank you very much. There is still another problem related to the input of the .bbl-file but I may come back to that later after some more trials. Kind regards, Robert

Bibliography sectioned
by Robert Blackstone 22 Jul '12

22 Jul '12

Dear all, I am struggling with a sectioned Bibliography for a thesis. I think I may have found a, maybe not very elegant but workable, solution: I need three Bibliography sections: Books&Articles, Treatises and Music. I have a separate .bib-file for each (I use BibDesk but that is probably not relevant for my problem), of which I have ConTeXt create a .bbl-file. In the backmatter I include an unnumbered chapter, with three sections, in each of which I import its own .bbl-file and a file just containing all its \nocites. With \placepublications[criterium=local] it gives the desired result, but unfortunately only with mkii. It does not work with mkiv (of july 13 and earlier) and I need mkiv for the rest of the thesis. The example given below works with mkii but not with mkiv (of july 13 and earlier). With mkiv the following happens: With \placepublications[criterium=local] the sections remain empty. With \placepublications[criterium=text] only the first section contains data. With \placepublications[criterium=all] all trhree sections contain data but the content of the previous sections is added to the next. I also tried \placepublications[criterium=section] and placepublications[criterium=bysection] but sections remain empty. What can I do to get it, sections with individual Bibliographies, working with mkiv? Thanks in advance for any advice.

two questions for the simplest slides
by Pablo Rodríguez 22 Jul '12

22 Jul '12

Hi there, I would like to create the simplest slides ever. I have done in LaTeX before, but I'm not sure how to do it with ConTeXt. All I want is to be able to center both vertically and horizontally whatever each slide contains and to change background and text colors in an easy manner (something like from now on background is red and text is white). Looking to http://tug.org/pracjourn/2006-2/schmitz/ and http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Presentations, I still have two questions. How can I get every single slide, no matter there is text or images, vertically centered? How can I change background and text colors after a \page? I mean something like: \setuppapersize[S6][S6] \setupcolors[state=start] \setuppagenumber[state=stop] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=color,backgroundcolor=red] \startcolor[white] \starttext Page is red and text is white. \page Page is blue and text is yellow. \page Page is green and text is white. \page Page is white and text is black. \page Page is red and text is white (again). \stoptext I mean, I know how to start, but I don't know how to change after the start. And it would be extremely helpful to change text colors with a switch (if that were possible), not within an environment (mainly because most slides will only contain one of two words). Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Re: [NTG-context] simpleslides help needed

Hi Pavneet, I am CCing the list as others might find this useful as well. On Thu, 19 Jul 2012, Pavneet Arora wrote: > One more question, though: if one wanted to design the slides with > *different* title and body fonts, as I do, how would one do that? This is > why I tried \setupbodyfont and ran into my initial difficulties. Use \setupSlideTitle [style={ any font command }] The default value of style is \switchtobodyfont[\SlideTitleSize]. The easiest way to switch fonts is to use \definefont or, if you are using the simplefonts module, \definesimplefont. For example: \usemodule[simpleslides] \usemodule[simplefonts][size=\NormalSize] \definesimplefont[SlideTitleFont][Dejavu Sans][size=\SlideTitleSize] \setupSlideTitle[style=\SlideTitleFont] \starttext \SlideTitle{Knuth} \input knuth \stoptext
