cont-sys.mkiv in texlive 2011

Hi, I have installed tl-2011 a few days ago. Context mkiv runs ok. But to configure page size I put a few commands in cont-sys.mkiv under home:.texlive2011/tex-config which is the result of mtxrun --expand-path TEXMFCONFIG. However, the file has no effect on context and nor is it found by mtxrun cont-sys.mkiv. TEXMF is found as: home:.texlive2011/texmf-config:home:texmf: !!selfautoparent:texmf-config:!!selfautoparent:texmf-project: !!selfautoparent:texmf-fonts:!!/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local: !!selfautoparent:texmf-dist:!!selfautoparent:linux-64:!!selfautoparent:texmf (one line) What do I miss? Thank you, Eythan

Precise Destination of References
by H. Hodges 12 Jul '11

12 Jul '11

I have links to different parts of my document using \goto. I would like to know if there is some way to increase the precision of the links' destination. When I click them, they navigate to the correct page, but not the correct part of the page. Also, I've opened the document in several different pdf viewers, and, whenever I click a link, the document re-sizes itself. Is there a way to prevent this?

interfaces.definecommand
by Wolfgang Schuster 12 Jul '11

12 Jul '11

Hi Hans, is it possible to extend “interfaces.definecommand” so that it is possible to create commands without optional arguments. \starttext \startluacode function test(opt_1, arg_1) context("%s",arg_1) end interfaces.definecommand { name = "test", arguments = { { "option", "list" }, { "content", "string" }, }, macro = test, } \stopluacode \test{whatever} \stoptext Wolfgang

12 Jul '11

Followed this wiki, http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals installed in my personal directory. Now for the most elementary quetsion: Given the file foo.tex how do I actually run mkiv context on it? I tried mtxrun template.tex and I get the error: ./template.tex:1: unexpected symbol near '\' template.tex is an outline of a Context file: --------------------------- -- John Culleton "Death Wore Black" Police procedural: http://www.deathworeblack.com/ "Create Book Covers with Scribus" http://booklocker.com/books/4055.html

Editable PDF-document
by Cecil Westerhof 12 Jul '11

12 Jul '11

I am creating a PDF document with ConTeXt. This document should also be editable by the client itself. Two persons in the company I am working for tried to add annotations for me. One was using Infix. When trying to edit the document, he auto magically was transferred to a place in the document 30 or 40 pages further. Someone else worked with NitroPDF. He managed (as far as I know without problems) to give 38 annotations, but the size of the document increased from 5.4 MB to 102 MB. This looks not workable. Is there a way I can change the generated PDF so that the client will be able to edit the PDF when he gets it, or could I better generate HTML? -- Cecil Westerhof

'Rainbow' header/footer
by Cecil Westerhof 11 Jul '11

11 Jul '11

I am using ConTeXt to make documentation for a webbased application. (100+ document) Last week they showed me another document with used a kind of rainbow (but completely filled at the upper part) for the page header and a 180 degrees rotated one with different colors for the page footer. Now they want me to do the same. What is the best way to do this? -- Cecil Westerhof

math: `\ref` does not work for referencing formulae (ConTeXt ver: 2011.06.19)
by Paul Menzel 10 Jul '11

10 Jul '11

Dear ConTeXt folks, using ConTeXt ver: 2011.06.19 14:17 MKIV fmt: 2011.6.21 int: english/english the following minimal example taken from the Wiki page [1] does not work as expected. --- 8< --- minimal example --- >8 --- \starttext The famous result (and again) is given by \placeformula[formulalabel] \startformula c^2 = a^2 + b^2. \stopformula And now we can refer to formula \ref[formulalabel] (ref). And now we can refer to formula \in[formulalabel] (in). \stoptext --- 8< --- minimal example --- >8 --- `\ref` does not seem to find the label for the equation. `\in` does work. Thanks, Paul [1] http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Math/Display#Referencing_formulae
