problem with setuptex
by Thomas A. Schmitz 22 Jul '13

22 Jul '13

Hi all, especially Mojca, I guess, I have a somewhat bizarre problem with the setuptex script under the latest Fedora and zsh (version 5.02). Here's what happens: source ~/context/tex/setuptex "/mnt/shared/context/tex" is not a valid TEXROOT path. (There is no file "/mnt/shared/context/tex/texmf/tex/plain/base/plain.tex") provide a proper tex root (like '. setuptex /something/tex') The script works under bash; the error under Fedora is the same on two different computers, but I don't know if any other linux distribution has the same version of zsh. Can anyone else test and see if they have similar problems with zsh? All best Thomas

overlay lifts image slightly
by Pablo Rodríguez 21 Jul '13

21 Jul '13

Dear list, I have the following sample code (http://www.ousia.tk/overlay.pdf) \setuppapersize[S6] \usemodule[simplefonts][size=30pt] \definesimplefonttypeface[sfserif][Free Serif][scale=10] \setupmakeup[standard][align=middle] \starttext \startstandardmakeup \dontleavehmode\externalfigure[text-icon.pdf] [scale=5000] \stopstandardmakeup \startstandardmakeup \dontleavehmode\startoverlay {\externalfigure[text-icon.pdf] [scale=5000]}{\sfserif\color[red]{✘}}\stopoverlay\stopoverlay \stopstandardmakeup \stoptext For some reason unknown to me, the overlay in the second slide has the background image slightly lifted. All I have realized is that replacing ✘ with x shows no image lift, but I need ✘. Is there any way to avoid this image lift? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

still a bug with compressed linenotes and no compressseparator
by Pablo Rodríguez 19 Jul '13

19 Jul '13

Dear Hans, many thanks for the latest beta, that fixes the line range numbering. I’m afraid there are still two issues with compressed linenotes when the compressseparator is missing. Having linenotes from the same line separated with only blank space is a standard practice in critical editions. I’m not a philologist and I don’t have access to a library on a regular basis. If samples from http://context.aanhet.net/epen2007/share/idris/cr-apparatus.pdf are allowed, from three possible examples, figures 4.2 and 4.4 only include blank space as separator for “compressed” linenotes and figure 4.6 includes a separator (||). Here a sample (I know there is no hyphenation on body text) that shows the two issues I’m having problems with: \setuppapersize[A6] \setuppagenumbering[location=,] \definelinenote[Critico] \setupnote[Critico][paragraph=yes] \setupnotation[Critico][alternative=serried, compress=yes, compressseparator=, width=broad] \newcounter\Contadorvar \def\apcritico#1#2{\increment\Contadorvar% \startCritico[Varia:\Contadorvar]{#2}#1% \stopCritico[Varia:\Contadorvar]} \starttext \startlinenumbering \dorecurse{22}{\apcritico{origin}{variant} \apcritico{not original,}{variant} } \stoplinenumbering \stoptext If compressseparator is suppressed (such as in the sample), the space before the missing separator is removed, but the space after the separator remains. This default is buggy when the compressed linenote starts at the beginning of the line (as it is the case on lines 4-9 in the apparatus). But even with linenotes starting at other places in the critical apparatus, there is another issue: compressed linenotes have more blank space before than uncompressed ones. I think this might be visually misleading in some cases. I think there is a simple way to solve both issues: if compressseparator is set to none, the space after should be removed in all cases. Would it be possible to implement this? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

revert to an older install not working?
by Pablo Rodríguez 19 Jul '13

19 Jul '13

Dear list, after the missing file in the latest beta, I wanted to revert the installation back to previous beta (2013.07.14). I tried it with the following command: ./first-setup.sh --context=2013.07.14 But it gives the following error: rsync: change_dir "/current/context/2013.07.14" (in minimals) failed: No such file or directory (2) Am I missing something or revert to an older install is disabled? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Installing context on a web server
by Stéphanie Vilayphiou 19 Jul '13

19 Jul '13

Hello, I am using Context to produce PDF out of a website. It works well on my local machine, but I can't seem to install Context system-wise on my server. I first installed Context as a single-user on the server with first-setup.sh. Then I realized I needed Context to be accessed by any user. So I tried to run first-setup.sh in /opt/context as root. First of all, I have troubles with rsync connections through first-setup.sh. """ rsync: failed to connect to contextgarden.net: Connection timed out (110) rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(122) [Receiver=3.0.7] ... resolvers | resolving | warning: no lua configuration files found resolvers | resolving | no texmf paths are defined (using TEXMF) resolvers | resolving | mtxrun | the resolver databases are not present or outdated mtx-update | state, loaded mtx-update | mtx-update | update, startrsync: failed to connect to contextgarden.net: Connection timed out (110) rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(122) [Receiver=3.0.7] mtx-update | run, rsync -rpztlv --delete contextgarden.net::'minimals/current/context/beta/' '/opt/context/tex/texmf-context'rsync: failed to connect to contextgarden.net: Connection timed out (110) rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(122) [Receiver=3.0.7] mtx-update | run, rsync -rpztlv contextgarden.net::'minimals/current/bin/common/linux-64/ minimals/current/bin/context/linux-64/ minimals/current/bin/metapost/linux-64/ minimals/current/bin/man/ minimals/current/bin/luatex/linux-64/ minimals/current/bin/xetex/linux-64/ minimals/current/bin/luatex/linux-64/ minimals/current/bin/pdftex/linux-64/ minimals/current/bin/luatex/linux-64/ minimals/current/bin/luajittex/linux-64/' '/opt/context/tex/texmf-linux-64' """ So I copy/pasted the files from the single-user install in /opt/context/. Then Context runs only if I source it with: "source /opt/context/tex/setuptex" but putting it in my $PATH doesn't work and it disappears from my path when I come back to su.

Short notice: Gentium in distribution
by Mojca Miklavec 19 Jul '13

19 Jul '13

Hi, Gentium fonts have been updated recently, but I forgot to fix the scripts in distribution (arghhhh, CTAN now prevents TDS, so it took me a while to reconstruct it) and today's updates deleted the old fonts. I fixed that now, but please let me know if there are any problems left. (I left the Type1 fonts out of ConTeXt distribution). Mojca

Re: [NTG-context] Some questions about the letter module
by Michael Ash 19 Jul '13

19 Jul '13

Dear Wolfgang, Thank you very much. This is very helpful. One note is that to center the footer required \setupletterframe[foot][align=middle] (NOT \setupletterlayer. Per http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Letter#Setup) A couple more questions. (1) is there a more efficient way to indent only the content of the letter: \setupindenting[yes,small] \setuplettersection[opening][indenting=no] \setuplettersection[subject][indenting=no] \setuplettersection[closing][indenting=no] \setuplettersection[signature][indenting=no] (2) The following did not properly left-justify the date (the date was towards the left but was not perfectly aligned with the other left-justified text): \setupletterlayer[reference][alternative=e] Thank you again.
