Dear ConTeXt folks, trying to draw a grid and label it, I get an error when using the (alsa attached) example from the MetaFun manual [1]. \starttext \startMPcode drawoptions(withpen pencircle scaled .25pt withcolor .5white) ; draw hlingrid(0, 20, .2, 20cm, 10cm) ; draw vloggrid(0, 10, .5, 10cm, 20cm) ; drawoptions(withpen pencircle scaled .50pt) ; draw hlingrid(0, 20,1, 20cm, 10cm) ; draw vloggrid(0, 10,1, 10cm, 20cm) ; fmt_pictures := false ; % use TeX as formatting engine textextoffset := ExHeight ; % a variable set by ConTeXt draw hlintext.lft(0, 20,5, 20cm, "@3e") ; draw vlogtext.bot(0, 10,9, 10cm, "@3e") ; \stopMPcode \stoptext I am using an older version of ConTeXt Standalone. ConTeXt ver: 2011.07.22 17:23 MKIV fmt: 2011.7.25 int: english/english Looking at the log output I could not figure out the original error. Please find the log file attached. Searching the Web I found other threads dealing with this issue. But adding \forceMPTEXgraphictrue as suggested in [2] it does not solve the problem either. Thanks, Paul [1] http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/metafun-s.pdf [2] http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2004/005007.html

Difference in doifinset in MkII and MkIV
by Aditya Mahajan 16 Oct '11

16 Oct '11

The following works in MkIV but fails in MkIV: \unprotect \def\!!yesandon{yes,on} \doifinsetelse{yes}\!!yesandon {\writestatus{TEST}{YES}} {\writestatus{TEST}{NO}} \protect This can be fixed by changing the definition \def\p!doifinsetelse#1#2#3#4% {\donefalse \edef\!!stringa{#3}% \ifx\!!stringa\empty \else - \processcommalist[#4]\p!docheckiteminset + \processcommacommand[#4]\p!docheckiteminset \fi \ifdone\expandafter#1\else\expandafter#2\fi} Can this be changed in syst-gen.mkii? Thanks, Aditya

Lucida \colon, \lll, \ggg
by Hans van der Meer 15 Oct '11

15 Oct '11

I see dat in Lucida (I am using \setupbodyfont[lucida,sans,10pt]) various math symbols are recognized (no error) but their glyphs stay empty in the typeset product. I know there has been some discussion on Lucida and talk of "forgetting pfb's" and waiting for an opentype version. But can this be remedied fairly simply? I am somewhat attached to Lucida and would like to keep using it. Otherwise, is there some good (free) font selection to replace it, even if for the time being? Especially the fit with monotye and math I deem important. Thanks in advance, Hans van der Meer

Exporting verbatim text
by Aditya Mahajan 15 Oct '11

15 Oct '11

Hi, In the vim module, I use vim to generate TeX code that looks roughly as ~~~ \SYN[Type]{public} \SYN[Type]{static} \SYN[Type]{void} main\SYN[javaParen]{(}String args\SYN[javaParen]{)} \{ System.out.println\SYN[javaParen]{(}\SYN[Constant]{"Hello World"}\SYN[javaParen]{)} ; \} ~~~ When generating pdf output, I simply set appropriate catcodes so that the line breaks and leading white spaces are significant. However, when exporting to xml, leading white space is ignored while line break is translated to <break/>. How can I export in such a way that leading white spaces are preserved (and ideally no <break/> is generated, but I can deal with that using CSS). Aditya

Hi, the colon sign disappears if one uses pxmath fonts (latest beta MkIV). \setupbodyfont[palatino] % not OK % \setupbodyfont[asana] % OK \startTEXpage $a:b$\par $a\colon b$ \stopTEXpage Regards Andreas

Fatal Error Return Code 70
by Kip Warner 14 Oct '11

14 Oct '11

Hey list, I am trying to compile a book typeset in ConTeXt. I am running the following version: $ context --version resolvers | resolving | loading configuration file 'selfautodir:/share/texmf/web2c/contextcnf.lua' resolvers | resolving | loading configuration file '/usr/share/texmf/web2c/contextcnf.lua' mtx-context | main context file: /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/context.mkiv mtx-context | current version: 2011.10.10 13:38 The hardware I am running ConTeXt on is mips64el (little endian, I think). The error message with nothing that I can see all that unusual before it is: mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 70 ...and then it bails. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

14 Oct '11

Hi, I stumbled upon the problem of how to add a command to the command reference in the wiki. More general: How to add a new page (not editing an existing one)? Am I missing the obvious? What is the secret trick? Marco

Re: [NTG-context] nice friends-book with ConText - quite ready
by Jan Heinen 14 Oct '11

14 Oct '11

Hello it was a ConText-night, and as a newby I learned a lot about ConText :-) Here is what I wanted to get: http://www.imagebanana.com/view/f4o3un2c/Entwurffriends.png And here are my results: http://www.imagebanana.com/view/8vq30irn/ContextLayers.png There are only little things which could be improved: How?? 1. where comes the frame around the foto from? How can I switch it off? 2. There is a thin white line between layer A and the Infobox. How to rid of it? 3. How can I get padding into the Infobox? top, botttom, right and left And here is my code for everyone who likes the layout of my friends-book ;-) \definelayer[Kontaktdaten][x=20mm,y=30mm,width=65mm,height=30mm,state=start] \setupbackgrounds[paper][setups=ALayer,background=Kontaktdaten,state=start] \starttext \strut \setlayerframed[Kontaktdaten][background=color,backgroundcolor=lightgreen,width=10mm,height=130mm,frame=off,hoffset=-20mm,voffset=145mm,align=right]{A} \setlayerframed[Kontaktdaten][background=color,backgroundcolor=darkgreen,width=10mm,height=60mm,frame=off,hoffset=-20mm,voffset=85mm,align=right]{B} \setlayerframed[Kontaktdaten][background=color,backgroundcolor=lightgreen,width=60mm,height=175mm,frame=off,hoffset=-10mm,voffset=100mm,align=right]% {Infobox:\crlf Peter\crlf New York\crlf 0171/782801\crlf test(a)test.de} \setlayerframed[Kontaktdaten][width=30mm,height=40mm,frame=\LayoutTest,hoffset=-10mm,voffset=60mm][strut=no,offset=overlay]% {\externalfigure[niceImage][width=30mm,height=40mm]} \page \stoptext Regards Jannis

Behaviour of \tfx versus \tfa
by Hans van der Meer 14 Oct '11

14 Oct '11

I found the following disparity in behaviour between \tfa, etc. and \tfx, \tfxx: \tfa, \tfb etc. do change mathsize too, but \tfx, \tfxx do not % These remedy it: \let\orgtfx\tfx \let\orgtfxx\tfxx \def\tfx{\orgtfx\dosetcurrentfontsize{x}} \def\tfxx{\orgtfxx\dosetcurrentfontsize{xx}} Is the difference intentional? Or is Hans willing to incorporate the change in a next beta? Hans van der Meer
