Hi, There is a new feature in mtxrun: As I wanted to acccess the help on the wiki, I've added a feature to mtxrun that can be used in an editor: mtxrun --gethelp --url="http://www.contextgarden.net/Command/setuplist" Actually, one can also use this: mtxrun --gethelp --url="http://www.contextgarden.net/Command/%command%" --command="setuplist" So, in scite I do: mtxrun --gethelp --url="http://www.contextgarden.net/Command/%command%" --command="$(CurrentWord)" and hitting F1 takes the current word and runs this command. On windows it effective boils down to start "the url" I have no clue what happens on unix. Ps 1: Isn't it possible to also support /command on the wiki? It looks like the url resolver is case sensitive. Ps 2: one can also run mtxrun --script server --start --auto and then use mtxrun --gethelp --url="http://localhost:31415/mtx-server-ctx-help.lua?command=%command%" --command="$(CurrentWord)" but the garden provides more info.

math formula linebreak
by Steffen Wolfrum 09 Aug '12

09 Aug '12

Hi, for nice linebreaking we can adjust math formulas by the use of NC, NR alignment. But if someone only wants long formulas to fit in a defined area, and want them to break automatically ... is there a handy solution? (Below are examples that don't work) Thanks, Steffen ------- \starttext \placeformula \startformula[9pt] I=\big\{\lambda u(x_0-\pi^H K)+(1-\lambda)[\pi^L u(x_0-K+(1-\pi^L)Z_{L'}) +(1-\pi^L)u(x_0-\pi^L Z_{L'})]\big\}-\big\{\pi^U u(x_0-K+(1-\pi^U)Z_{U'}) +(1-\pi^U)u(x_0-\pi^U Z_{U'})\big\}. \stopformula \defineframedtext [defbackground] [width=10cm, frame=on, location=paragraph] \startdefbackground \placeformula \startformula[9pt] I=\big\{\lambda u(x_0-\pi^H K)+(1-\lambda)[\pi^L u(x_0-K+(1-\pi^L)Z_{L'}) +(1-\pi^L)u(x_0-\pi^L Z_{L'})]\big\} -\big\{\pi^U u(x_0-K+(1-\pi^U)Z_{U'}) +(1-\pi^U)u(x_0-\pi^U Z_{U'})\big\}. \stopformula \stopdefbackground \definelayer[mylayer] \setlayerframed [mylayer] [x=25mm, y=85mm, height=43.5mm, width=10cm,align=block] { \placeformula \startformula[9pt] I=\big\{\lambda u(x_0-\pi^H K)+(1-\lambda)[\pi^L u(x_0-K+(1-\pi^L)Z_{L'}) +(1-\pi^L)u(x_0-\pi^L Z_{L'})]\big\} -\big\{\pi^U u(x_0-K+(1-\pi^U)Z_{U'}) +(1-\pi^U)u(x_0-\pi^U Z_{U'})\big\}. \stopformula } \setupbackgrounds[page][background=mylayer] \stoptext

[***SPAM***] Widows: penalty without efffect (ConTeXt iv)
by d_jan 09 Aug '12

09 Aug '12

Dear List, I ran into trouble with the widow/orphan-control in context. I searched the mailinglist, and saw that there were some other threads on the topic bevore, but as far as I am concerned what was suggested there did not work for me when I tried it. I run context iv using the version which comes with TexLive 2011. First trail was to include \widowpenalty=9000 and \clubpenalty=9000 at the start of the document, before \starttext (cause I do my setups, and definitions there) As this did not work I tried to put them after \starttext. As well I lowered \brokenpenalty. But both approaches, which were suggested in previous Posts on the ntg-context list failed to show an effect in my case. Is there anything I could do to prevent the widow lines? PS.: As I may be doing any noobish errors, here an overview of the documents structure and the placement of the penalty-commands _________________________________ \widowpenalty=9000 \clubpenalty=9000 \definepapersize[janssize][width=190mm, height=245mm] \setuppapersize[janssize][A4] %we can use something like [A5][A4], which is a a5 Page sized Document printed on a A4 sheet \setuplayout[grid=yes, marking=on, location=middle, backspace=30mm, width=110mm]%former: location=doublesided \starttext \startstandardmakeup \stopstandardmakeup \startfrontmatter %TOC... \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter %the main stuff goes here % Loads of text \stopbodymatter \startappendices %appendices go here \stopappendices \stoptext

Can't generate an epub - what am I doing wrong?
by Marcin Borkowski 09 Aug '12

09 Aug '12

Hello all, my problem is as in the topic;). The minimal example from the wiki works fine, but this does not: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \setupbackend[export=yes,xhtml=yes] \settaggedmetadata [title=My Document, author=A. U. Thor] \starttext \startchapter[title={First chapter}] \input tufte \stopchapter \startchapter[title={Second chapter}] \input knuth \stopchapter \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% The resulting epub file (after the mtxrun, of course) does not contain any metadata; also, there is no chapter structure whatsoever. What am I missing? TIA, -- Marcin Borkowski http://mbork.pl -- Marcin Borkowski http://mbork.pl

A series of articles about text-editors for the MAPS
by Willi Egger 09 Aug '12

09 Aug '12

Dear TeX users and TeX friends, At one of the last NTG-meetings we discussed possibilities to write a series of articles presenting the different text editors used in modern TeX-environments. Such an article could have ingredients like availability, general use, highlights, issues related to TeX coding and whether it is suitable for Plain-tex, Latex, Context, configurability etc. The idea is to produce a MAPS-issue in color, so that also screenshots can be included. We have already a couple of volunteers to write on certain editors, however it is for sure not a bad idea to include even two articles on the same editor. What we definitely are looking for is someone who would be prepared to write an article over WinEdt. I am looking forward hearing from you, kind regards Willi Egger Secretary NTG ntg-secretary(a)ntg.nl

\product tag
by john Culleton 08 Aug '12

08 Aug '12

In a MKIV file using the approved method of structuring projects, does the \product tag do anything or is it just internal documentation for the source file? When I process a file called book.tex and containing the tag: \product foobar the result is a file called book.pdf, just as if the tag did not exist. -- John Culleton Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html Police Procedural and Expose: "Death Wore Black" "Create Book Covers with Scribus" http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

Draft version of document
by Roger Mason 08 Aug '12

08 Aug '12

Hello all, Having used MkII to make a nicely formatted version of a document, I now need to make a draft version document in order to submit it to a journal. They want the figure captions as a list at the end of the document and the figures collected on pages at the end too. The draft version will need to be double spaced. Obviously, I'd rather use the existing source to generate both draft and well-formatted versions, so it sounds like a job for modes. Before I start hacking, has someone done this already or is ther an alternative method of accomplishing this? Thanks, Roger This electronic communication is governed by the terms and conditions at http://www.mun.ca/cc/policies/electronic_communications_disclaimer_2012.php
