mtxrun --script server help broken
by Thomas A. Schmitz 16 Sep '13

16 Sep '13

Hi, was trying to use the help server this morning while I was offline, and it doesn't work, AFAICS. Here's the error: mtx-server | running at port: 31415 mtx-server | document root: /mnt/shared/context/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua mtx-server | main index file: unknown mtx-server | scripts subpath: /mnt/shared/context/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua mtx-server | context services: http://localhost:31415/mtx-server-ctx-startup.lua mtx-server | request from: 127.0.0.1 mtx-server | request data: GET /mtx-server-ctx-startup.lua HTTP/1.1 mtx-server | requested url: /mtx-server-ctx-startup.lua mtx-server | requested action: /mtx-server-ctx-startup.lua mtx-server | performing action: /mtx-server-ctx-startup.lua mtx-server | locating script: /mnt/shared/context/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/mtx-server-ctx-startup.lua mtx-server | loading script: /mnt/shared/context/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/mtx-server-ctx-startup.lua mtx-server | return type: function mtx-server | saving script: function mtx-server | running script: /mnt/shared/context/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/mtx-server-ctx-startup.lua mtx-server | time spent with client: 0.000 seconds mtx-server | request from: 127.0.0.1 mtx-server | request data: GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1 mtx-server | requested url: /favicon.ico mtx-server | requested action: /favicon.ico mtx-server | performing action: /favicon.ico mtx-server | requested file '/favicon.ico' mtx-server | handling error 404: Not Found mtx-server | time spent with client: 0.000 seconds mtx-server | request from: 127.0.0.1 mtx-server | request data: GET /mtx-server-ctx-help.lua HTTP/1.1 mtx-server | requested url: /mtx-server-ctx-help.lua mtx-server | requested action: /mtx-server-ctx-help.lua mtx-server | performing action: /mtx-server-ctx-help.lua mtx-server | locating script: /mnt/shared/context/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/mtx-server-ctx-help.lua mtx-server | loading script: /mnt/shared/context/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/mtx-server-ctx-help.lua mtx-server | return type: nil mtx-server | handling error 404: Not Found mtx-server | time spent with client: 0.000 seconds mtx-server | request from: 127.0.0.1 mtx-server | request data: GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1 mtx-server | requested url: /favicon.ico mtx-server | requested action: /favicon.ico mtx-server | performing action: /favicon.ico mtx-server | requested file '/favicon.ico' mtx-server | handling error 404: Not Found mtx-server | time spent with client: 0.000 seconds From time to time, it's wonderful to have offline help (and I still miss Patrick's emacs etexshow...)

columns vs. paragraphs, and a question about fillinrule
by Pavneet Arora 15 Sep '13

15 Sep '13

As part of this legal document set that I have been working to put together, I needed side-by-side text. Looking at the wiki, I noticed that there are at least 3 methods: columns, paragraphs, columnsets. I only attempted two, but they seem to have quite different results. I understood that columns were for simple cases. However, in my MWE below, the \column command breaks the "columns" in unusual way. One can also swap out the order of the paragraphs and columns methods; the results are similar. Also, one can adjust the dorecurse command with additional lorems to see where the "columns" land on the page. Again results are similar. Any suggestions? Another question: I am trying to have the numbers in the \fillinrule command to be hanging so that the rules are lined up. Is this possible, and if so how best to do it? advTHANKSance. MWE: \setuppapersize[letter] \setuplayout[header=0in,footer=0in,topspace=0.75in,height=9.5in,backspace=1.25in,width=6in] \setuppagenumbering[location=] \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[gentiumalt] \setupbodyfont[11pt] \setupinterlinespace[line=3.2ex] \setupwhitespace[big] \starttext \startalignment[middle] {\tfc AN IMPORTANT LEGAL DOCUMENT} \stopalignment \blank[2*big] \dorecurse{1}{\input lorem\par} \blank[2*big] {\tt paragraphs} method: \defineparagraphs[mypar][n=3,before={\blank},after={\blank}] \setupparagraphs[mypar][1][width=.5\textwidth] \setupparagraphs[mypar][2][width=.1\textwidth] \setupparagraphs[mypar][3][width=.4\textwidth] \startmypar WITNESSES: \fillinrules[n=3,interlinespace=small,width=broad,separator=]{1.} \fillinrules[n=3,interlinespace=small,width=broad,separator=]{2.} \mypar \mypar (TESTATOR)\crlf Ms. B.E.

Why is my module not automatically included?
by Reza Housseini 14 Sep '13

14 Sep '13

Hello list I tried to compile the CV from [1] with context. But it does not recognize the module m.resume.tex in the same directory, I had to use the flag --usemodule=m-resume.tex. Why is that so and is there a way to let context detect my module automatically? Thanks for any hints. Cheers Reza [1] http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Curriculum_Vitae

Bug with adaptlayout
by Aditya Mahajan 14 Sep '13

14 Sep '13

Hi, There is a subtle bug with \adaptlayout. \adaptlayout[1][height=max] does not work, e.g., \showframe \adaptlayout[1][height=max] \starttext \dorecurse{10}{\input knuth \par} \stoptext but \adaptlayout[2][..] etc work. The reason is the following. Typically, we use \adaptlayout[...][...] before \starttext at which point \realpageno=1. Now, \page_adapts_layout calls \page_adopts_check which checks if "\??pageadaptions\the\realpageno" is set. If so, it calls the pageadaptions and resets it to relax. Since all this happens before \starttext, it does not affect the first page. I am not sure what is the best way to fix this. Aditya

texnansi encoding.
by john Culleton 14 Sep '13

14 Sep '13

Using mkiv to what degree can one depend on the encoding of a font to be in texnansi form? 1. typescript fonts? 2. otf fonts? 3. type 1 fonts? 4. ttf fonts? 5. No guarantees? And does it make a difference if one uses \simplefonts versus typescripts? -- John Culleton

Re: [NTG-context] Module simpleslides error

I don't believe that I have seen Aditya mention this recently, but anyone using ConTeXt for making slide presentations would benefit tremendously, I think, from reading his "tutorials" on how to use simple ConTeXt to do so: https://github.com/adityam/context-slides-example/commits/master Sorry if I have trampled on what was a strictly simpleslides discussion. Regards. BTW, someone on this list had recommended to me quite some time ago "impressive", a PDF viewer with transitions, which I also find very effective in giving presentations from PDF documents: http://impressive.sourceforge.net/ On 09/13/2013 12:01 PM, Xan wrote: > Hi, > > If I choose BottomSquares in presentation, I receive an error: I'm sorry, I know that some of the styles aren't working at the moment (at least not the versions on the garden; I think all of them work on my system).

Wrong ConTeXt version?
by Otared Kavian 13 Sep '13

13 Sep '13

Hi, Running first-setup.sh in order to update to the latest ConTeXt gives me a wrong result: I get current version: 2013.04.20 01:15 while before updating I had current version: 2013.09.10 17:17 Are we going backward in time? :-) Best regards: OK

bidi
by Hans Hagen 13 Sep '13

13 Sep '13

Hi, -- experimental fix for framed inline direction (at some point we will come up with a more precise description .. also, only use the already posted boxing macros, don't rely on low level box + dir spec as context keep a state of directions independently of tex) -- fix for marks on fonts like dejavumono that have fixed width glyphs (so also marks with widths but lacking positioning) .. beware: such fotns are monospaced so you get funny side effects with left/right spacing due to some characters not being centered in their wider-than-needed-as-fixed boundingbox .. also beware of bugs in mkmk (last night idris and i spend quit esome hours on nailing these issues down) -- there is something fuzzy with arial, also in ms toolchains, at different scales, etc etc ... anyhow, for testing best use a decent font, like arabtype, not arial -- not all complex bidi stuff will be solved in the bidi default methods, use method one or two if applicable -- some more things done Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
