Index and Publications suddenly remain empty???
by Sander Maijers 15 Oct '12

15 Oct '12

Dear ConTeXt users, I am bothered by this seemingly simple problem that suddenly occurred these days, while the same TeX code produced the Index and Publications chapters properly when compiling the document last May. I use the latest stable version (from May 2012) of ConTeXt on a recent Linux with TeXLive 2012 and bibtex 0.99d. The PATH is correct. The bad PDF: https://bitbucket.org/SMaijers/bachelor_project/src/df9027aa04ea96e846173fe… The environment: https://bitbucket.org/SMaijers/bachelor_project/src/df9027aa04ea96e846173fe… The text source files for the Publications and Index chapters: https://bitbucket.org/SMaijers/bachelor_project/src/df9027aa04ea96e846173fe… https://bitbucket.org/SMaijers/bachelor_project/src/df9027aa04ea96e846173fe… All files: https://bitbucket.org/SMaijers/bachelor_project/src/df9027aa04ea96e846173fe… I have been trying to solve this this evening and finally I decided to move from ConTeXt stable to the beta version, but now I cannot get *any* PDF output anymore ... Can anyone spot problems with the TeX source code that prevent the document compilation, with whichever version of ConTexT??? Kind regards, Sander Maijers

Using a search engine.
by Andre Caldas 15 Oct '12

Once, I've read about someone who, a long time ago, found it really difficult to look for pages related to LaTeX on the internet. He used to get a lot of "fetish" related pages!!! Since "context" is a very common word, I'd like to know from ConTeXt users... How do you look for "ConTeXt" stuff using search engines? Cheers, André Caldas.

PDF security settings
by Bill Meahan 14 Oct '12

14 Oct '12

Setting author, title, keywords metadata is rather simple. Is there a corresponding way to set PDF security properties, e.g. allow/disallow comments, allow/disallow printing &c. -- Bill Meahan Westland, Michigan USA

bug?: component inside component
by Zenlima 14 Oct '12

14 Oct '12

Hi, I tried to recompile a book (no project file, 1 product file, many component files) the first time for a while - but now it breaks with weird and random error messages. It starts when I have a component inside a component.. but only when I have more than just a few pages text. And is stops with e.g. "a missing bracket", "one bracket more than needed", "math module missing" etc etc. It is definitely not one of the reported errors.. and the error message changes as I add or remove some text (letters, paragraph). Also I realized that references over components borders don't work any more (they link to an external document: componentname.pdf). Is this a known bug? I found some remarks regarding broken references over component borders. Does there exists any other way of integrating tex-file into tex-files for context? I will continue trying to isolate the error.. but atm it tricks me pretty well. Thanks in advance H.

Hi! This works: \startproduct assorted \project math_video_classes \unexpanded\def\pathrelativetome% {src/products/assorted/open_mapping_theorem/notes} % \component{\pathrelativetome} \component{src/products/assorted/open_mapping_theorem/notes} \stopproduct But this does not work (no PDF is generated): \startproduct assorted \project math_video_classes \unexpanded\def\pathrelativetome% {src/products/assorted/open_mapping_theorem/notes} \component{\pathrelativetome} % \component{src/products/assorted/open_mapping_theorem/notes} \stopproduct WHY? Thank you, André Caldas.

Problem with ConTeXt (MkIV), Hebrew and ligatures
by Simo Ojala 11 Oct '12

11 Oct '12

This is a problem originally posted in TeX/StackExchange. However, since I have not had any luck in finding a solution I post it here too. I am confident that somebody here should know the answer. http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/73970/problem-with-context-mkiv-hebr… "Since I last played with the latest ConTeXt MkIV, there has been introduced this new feature. It now seems to combine Hebrew characters automatically when possible to ligatures. So for example. If I have a word with following two characters: U+05D5 (HEBREW LETTER VAV) U+05BC (HEBREW POINT DAGESH OR MAPIQ) ConTeXt will combine these to: U+FB35 (HEBREW LETTER VAV WITH DAGESH) However, I would need to disable this feature for a number of reasons. For example, this breaks my little database query, because the query key is changed before(?) macro gets it. So if somebody would know how to turn this off and maybe also that what has changed." Sincerely, Simo Ojala smsojala(a)gmail.com

\unit and french
by Romain Diss 10 Oct '12

10 Oct '12

Hi all, As you know, the french number format is almost opposite to the english one: period and comma have opposite roles. My question concerns the way to render properly numbers in french with the \unit command. I already tried different combinations of \setupunit[method=,order=] but I can’t find the right way. I tried even to type french or english format as input for \unit but none output is right (actually I'd prefer to type french format as \unit input). Also, when there are "three digits" separators on both sides of the decimal point, some method outputs are not consistent. I attached a not so minimal exemple. Thanks for any idea to solve this. -- Romain Diss <romain.diss(a)yahoo.fr>
