Trailing Space after \cldcontext
by Kip Warner 27 Jun '11

27 Jun '11

Hey list, Is there any way to remove the trailing space that appears to be automatically inserted when \cldcontext output is captured? For instance, Bazaar revision \cldcontext{os.resultof"bzr revno"}. Will show "Bazaar revision 43 ." I've manually checked the output of the command to run and it doesn't appear to add that space character itself, so I am wondering if os.resultof is appending the extraneous space? -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

Current Commands/Columns
by H. Hodges 26 Jun '11

26 Jun '11

Is there some sort of guide to which commands are still used in ConTeXt or a latest edition of the main manual? I downloaded a bunch of manuals from the main website to learn from, and some of the commands aren't affecting my output. I'm particularly confused about how to create and setup columns. I've read about using \setuplayout[columns=somenumber] with \layoutcolumnoffset{somecolumn}, \setupcolumns with \start, \stopcolumns, and \column, and \setlayer[text][column=1]{some text} (which doesn't seem to work at all) in the style guide.

cmyk in metapost
by Hans van der Meer 26 Jun '11

26 Jun '11

I must be doing something wrong. But what? Relevant part of Metapost code: numeric Cb, Cr, Y, T, temp, graycolors; Cb := 0; Cr := 1; Y = 2; T := 3; graycolors := 15; numeric colors[][];for i = 0 upto graycolors: temp := (graycolors - i) / graycolors; colors[i][Cb] := temp; colors[i][Cr] := temp; colors[i][Y] := temp; colors[i][T] := 0; endfor def colorvalue(expr v) = cmyk(colors[v][Cb], colors[v][Cr], colors[v][Y], colors[v][T]) enddef; for i = 0 upto 15: mycmyk[i] := colorvalue(i); endfor Used with drawdot... withcolor mycymk[index]; The error from metapost is in the generation of the cmyk colors: ! terminal: >> (redpart mycmyk0,greenpart mycmyk0,bluepart mycmyk0) >> (1,1,1,0) ! Equation cannot be performed (color=cmykcolor). <to be read again> ; <for(0)> mycmyk[(EXPR0)]:=colorvalue((EXPR0)); ENDFOR startsubtitle->...:mycmyk[i]:=colorvalue(i);endfor Strangely the following does work without problems: drawdot... withcolor colorvalue(index); I got the code from the Metafun manual.

Re: [NTG-context] animation module

Dear Wolfgang and Hans, I just updated the minimal and tested animation. Adobe Reader reads PDF well and the animation works well. I didn't test the options which you mention yet, but I think that they also work well. Thank you so much. Best regards, Dalyoung

\setscript[hanzi] conflicts with some symbols
by Li Yanrui (李延瑞) 26 Jun '11

26 Jun '11

Hi Hans, In the beta 2011.06.25, "\setscript[hanzi]" can not coexist with the symbols such as "\METAPOST". Please see the following example: \definefontsynonym[pagella][name:texgyrepagellar] \definefontfallback[hanzi][name:adobesongstd][0x00400-0x2FA1F] \definefontsynonym[myfont][pagella][fallbacks=hanzi] \definefont[song][myfont] \setscript[hanzi] \starttext \song 测试 \METAPOST \stoptext I got an error: error: ...text/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/scrp-ini.lua:382: attempt to index field 'resources' (a nil value) But if I skip this error the pdf file still can be output. -- Best regards, Li Yanrui (李延瑞)

Any MacTeX users here?
by Mojca Miklavec 26 Jun '11

26 Jun '11

Hello, I would like to have a rough estimate about the number of MacTeX users that also use ConTeXt minimals (I use MacTeX for compiling LaTeX documents and often also use it for a month or two ... until it starts diverging too much with Minimals). I'm testing a tiny script to create an entry in "TeX Distributions" Preference Pane which would allow one to switch distributions with a GUI (PrefPane has to be fixed first in order to enable proper functionality). I'm particularly interested in PPC users as testers since ConTeXt doesn't use universal binaries as MacTeX does. I will first try to prepare a tiny script that would just create a new entry for the Preference Pane (I have it ready, but it needs some polishing). I hope that it will be possible to install the pane as a standalone package once TeX Live 2011 is out, but at the moment one will have to have it installed in order for this to work. If you are only interested in using it, you may just leave me a note off-list, so that I will have a rough estimate of interest. If you would like to discuss some ideas, feel free to reply to the whole mailing list. One problem that I'm not sure about is how to treat multiple installation on the same machine. The other one is the need for quick switches between distributions without GUI (I have a script texdist in /usr/local/bin, but I'm not sure if that one is up to date.) The next step would be a GUI installer, but that is not going to happen yet, at least not by me. (I'm thinking about it, but not for the close future.) Mojca

Re: [NTG-context] Any MacTeX users here?

Dear Mojca, I am using Macbook and iMac installed Intel chip. I also installed MacTeX, but most documents are compiled using LuaTeX in Minimal. I installed MacTeX for LaTeX because many journals require papers which are typeset using LaTeX. Without it, I seldom use LaTeX. Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung

Is there a way to have a link to go back from a previous link
by Cecil Westerhof 25 Jun '11

25 Jun '11

In a document I use \in and \about. The user wants a link to go back to where he came from. Is this possible? I already explained [Alt]+[<-], but he does not find this good enough. -- Cecil Westerhof
