Building a Component
by Malte Stien 12 Sep '16

12 Sep '16

Hi all, I am just familiarising myself with projects/products/components. I have a number of documents that all belong to a large set of Reference Manuals and so far I have built them all separately and have relied a lot on the simple \input... statement. I assume with projects/products/components I might be able to do something much smarter. Let’s see. I get stuck quite early on, though. I have created a minimal component file ‘component-1.tex’ and when I build it, context runs into what seems to be an infinite recursion. Here is the file: \project test-project \product reference-manual-1 \startcomponent component-1 \starttext \section[c1-s1]{Component 1 Section 1} This is a paragraph in Component 1 Section 1 \stoptext \stopcomponent ...and here is the console when I run it: > context component-1.tex ... ... ... open source > 196 > 198 > component-1.tex open source > 197 > 199 > reference-manual-1.tex open source > 198 > 200 > component-1.tex open source > 199 > 201 > reference-manual-1.tex open source > 200 > 202 > component-1.tex open source > 201 > 203 > reference-manual-1.tex tex error > tex error on line 2 in file reference-manual-1.tex: ! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [text input levels=600] \m_syst_action_nop #1 ->\clf_startproduct {#1} l.11 \startproduct reference-manual-1 1 % \project test-project 2 >> \startproduct reference-manual-1 3 4 \component component-1 5 6 \stopproduct 7 Here is reference-manual-1.tex: \project test-project \startproduct reference-manual-1 \component component-1 \stopproduct This is with the latest context downloaded today. All I really know about this is from here http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Project_structure; anything else I should be reading? Any ideas?

Hello, I start playing with presentations with ConTeXt. With the following code: ---- \usemodule[s-pre-61] \starttext \TitlePage{Hello} \Topics{Topics} \Topic{Topic} \stoptext ---- I'm getting pages with no text, just pages with navigation bar. What am I doing wrong? Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

Hello, I'm looking for a way to produce a doublesided document with text on the odd pages only and floats on the even pages. Can somebody guide me in the right direction? Will something like \doifoddpageelse {typsettext} {\page} work? Thanks Michael

Problem with \leqalignno

Hello All, I am trying to compile the following example (from http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Math/Display) with context: \starttext \placeformula \startformula \leqalignno{c^2 &= a^2 + b^2 &\formulanumber{a} \cr a^2 + b^2 &= c^2 &\subformulanumber{b} \cr d^2 &= e^2 &\formulanumber\cr} \stopformula \stoptext but I get the following error message: {{{ . . . tex error > tex error on line 7 in file /home/user/math-example.tex: !

Placement of numbers in numbered equations on the left
by Otared Kavian 11 Sep '16

11 Sep '16

Hi Hans, Thank you for having fixed the issue with numbered equations in math aligned environment, noticed and reported by Mikael Sundqvist. However the problem is solved only when the numbers are on the right: when the numbers are on the left, there is still a discrepancy between the location of numbers in equations numbered in an aligned environment and those which are by themselves. Please have a look at the attached PDF which is the result of the following example (using ConTeXt ver: 2016.09.06 19:11 MKIV beta). Best regards: OK %%% begin math-align.tex \starttext \placeformula \startformula \startalign \NC \exp(t_1)\exp(t_2)\NC = x_1x_2=\exp(\log(x_1x_2))\NR \NC \NC =\exp(\log x_1+\log x_2) = \exp(t_1+t_2).\NR[eq:explag1] \stopalign \stopformula \placeformula \startformula 1+1=2 \stopformula \setupformulas[location=left] with \type{\setupformulas[location=left]} \placeformula \startformula \startalign \NC \exp(t_1)\exp(t_2)\NC = x_1x_2=\exp(\log(x_1x_2))\NR \NC \NC =\exp(\log x_1+\log x_2) = \exp(t_1+t_2).\NR[eq:explag1] \stopalign \stopformula \placeformula \startformula 2+3=5 \stopformula \stoptext %%% end math-align.tex

Hello Everybody! Can somebody help me please. I have a Title page: \starttext \startalignment[center] \blank[2*big] {\tfd How to do this in Context} \blank[3*medium] {\tfa The author} \blank[2*medium] {\tfa July 26, 2005} \blank[3*medium] \stopalignment Before the Title Page I would like to write a page about the content of the book. How can I write this? This page should be on the left side, because the Title page starts on the right page. Thanks a lot Uschi

Info about MetaPost
by Nicola 09 Sep '16

09 Sep '16

Hi, I write to this mailing list because the MetaPost mailing list has been silent for a while. I hope it is ok. I am getting to grips with MetaPost after a long hiatus, so I have not followed recent developments. I see that the version shipped with TeX Live 2016 is 1.9991 and that the current maintainer is Luigi. My questions: - What is the official MetaPost site (if there is any), with the latest source (superlec.fr does not seem up to date and I cannot find any code on CTAN)? - Are there any release notes to know what has changed since version 1.90x? - I know that LuaTeX uses an embedded version of MetaPost. Is that aligned with the stand-alone executable (mpost)? Thanks in advance, Nicola

Trace references
by Henri Menke 08 Sep '16

08 Sep '16

Dear list, when using cross referencing in my document, LaTeX has the nice warning messages LaTeX Warning: Reference 'foo' on page XX undefined on input line YY. LaTeX Warning: Label `foo' multiply defined. LaTeX Warning: There were undefined references. LaTeX Warning: There were multiply-defined labels. Is there something similar in ConTeXt? The wiki is a little outdated in that regard as \tracereferences does not exist anymore and also is probably not what I'm looking for. I already found \usemodule[references-show] but this only prints annotations on the page. Another thing, my bibliography emits like a hundred lines of backend > references > no internal reference 0 What triggers this warning? Cheers, Henri
