You need to have C:\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin in front of MikTeX's bin, else the command "context" will use LuaTeX from MikTeX and that one won't find ConTeXt scripts. However, you might stumble into some problems with LaTeX then, but it might be possible to remove pdfTeX (during installation of ConTeXt you can say --engines=luatex) and then it will be unlikely that you will want to use the same binary with ConTeXt and LaTeX (I have no idea how kpathsea would work in such a scenario). Mojca end of quote --- Good thinking Mojca! Moving C:\context up in PATH has done the trick from the command line. Now I will fuss getting editor to work. I compiled a few of my standard docs through MiKTeX pdflatex and mpost docs with no conflict so far. Thank you so much for the suggestion and thanks to luigi and Hans for their help too. Then I will read and play with wonderful ConTeXt manuals and generate a million more questions ;) --johnk

displaylines in textetxt?
by Meer, H. van der 03 Dec '11

03 Dec '11

Is it impossible to typeset displaylines in textext called inside metapost? The gives an error: \starttext \startMPpage label(textext("$$\displaylines{a=b\cr}$$\strut"),origin); \stopMPpage \stoptext metapost/context/base/metafun.mpiv ! Missing } inserted. -- <inserted text> } <to be read again> \halign \displaylines ...spl@y \tabskip \zeroskip \halign {\hbox to \displaywidth {$… Though for example, \matrix,\cases seems to work. I already have put \unexpanded in front of the definition of \displaylines in math-pln.mkiv Hans van der Meer

terrible png placement
by Hans van der Meer 03 Dec '11

03 Dec '11

Something terrible must be done to png pictures, either in ConTeXt or in luatex. I have the following minimal sample code and picture. I include the png for those who want to check. % Test png addition. \starttext Place png figure.\par \placefigure{Test figure}{\externalfigure[test.png]} \stoptext Without the png-picture it makes an 8KB pdf. But with the png-picture the pdf swells to 1.8MB. And that for a png-picture of only 48KB. Moreover making a zip of all this stuff brought the size back to 110KB. In the log: ConTeXt ver: 2011.11.04 14:15 MKIV fmt: 2011.11.10 int: english/english mkiv lua stats > graphics processing time - 0.001 seconds including tex, 1 processed images What is done with the png and can it be remedied? This swelling up of small picture to such enormous proportions makes the inclusion of png-picture nearly impossible, at least impractable. Hans van der Meer

Lua script not registered

Replying to the list in this manner--having to retype the subject--is unusual to me, and I hope it does not create problems for the list. Please help me on how to reply within the mail archive to make more efficient. Many thanks to those who have replied on the topic! Thank you, Aditya-- I had run C:\context\tex\setuptex.bat and then tried C:\context>context firstfile.tex which worked (now down to 3+ secs from 11+ at first run--file = \starttext Hello World \stoptext) I think I can get this setuptex.bat automated for random context runs but, for some reason(s) C:>context somefile.tex will not work globally on my personal computer (Lenovo x100e) over which I have admin control (maybe I am not a good admin?) and I have added C:\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin to my PATH I still get "Lua script not registered" complaint when I try to compile outside of C:\context directory I suppose I could live with keeping all binaries and docs in C:\context, but that is not so inviting compared to being able to pdfLaTeX a doc over Dropbox via MikTeX for example. --John

At the start of the contents is an "outer reference" inside the project files an "inner reference". The outer one can be reached both from the outside as well as from the inside of the project files. The colouring of the links show it too. Yhe inner reference does not show up, instead the log shows: > > references > start problematic references > unknown > 2: [part2][label:1] > references > stop problematic references > > But I do not know enough of the referencing mechanism to interprete it. > Hope you can nail the problem, either with my doing or something within ConTeXt. It’s a bug (maybe wrong default settings) which was introduced with Idris request to have lists which are local to a component, when you refer to the label with the name of the component as prefix (\getreference[text][part1:label:1]) the text is shown.

Lua script not registered
by John Kitzmiller 03 Dec '11

03 Dec '11

I hope this does not open another thread with the same name, but I did not find a way to respond directly within the archive--something else I am missing or will ntg find the reference? Here it goes... Thank you for response luigi. The story: OS = Windows7 professional I also have MikTeX installed which I use routinely for pdfLaTeX and METAPOST from TeXworks download context-setup-mswin.zip<http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/context-setup-mswin.zip> from the wiki unzip to C:\context run from shell C:\context>first-setup.bat --modules=all add to PATH C:\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin\ run from shell C:\context>first-setup.bat --keep Then create tex file \starttext Hello world \stopptext in different location. Navigate shell to that location and >context firstfile.tex Result is message context: The Lua script is not registered. context: Data: context Aha! I tried moving firstfile.tex into C:\context and then run and it works, but takes 11.62 seconds--not so good. However, I still get Lua script not registered when I try to run from other file locations, which makes me think it is PATH problem that I will continue to chase but if anything looks obvious please help. --johnk

Formatting footnote numbers (in text)
by Chris Lott 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

I'm new to ConTeXt, but I have searched for this myself... I'm trying to format the footnote numbers that appear in the text of my documents. I've used this to change them from being blue (there may be a better way-- I am generating PDFs for print, so don't need the hyperlinks) using the following: \setupinteraction[state=start,color=black,contrastcolor=black] Is this where I would control other formatting (size, face, format)? Can anyone provide or point to an example of formatting footnote numbers in text area of a doc? c -- Chris Lott

no color with interaction and reference format
by Stefan Müller 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

Hi list, when I am using reference formats to put text in front of my text references, I get no color. Please see the following minimal example \setupinteraction[state=start] \definereferenceformat[insec][text=section~] \starttext \section[mylabel]{A Section} A Reference to \in{section}[mylabel] and \insec[mylabel]. \stoptext On my machine only the first reference is red (aka colored), but I think both should be, as it was some betas ago. Is this a bug or has the interface changed? I'm using standalone 20111125 21:29 MkIV. Thanks in advance! Stefan
