As for metauml, have a look at this example: http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2010/049511.html This works for me with the latest beta. For quick testing purposes just put the metauml (mp) files where your tex file is. Adam PS: The label offset problem is still present, so don't be surprised.

writing a label with a subscript in MetaFun.
by Jeong Dalyoung 20 Apr '11

20 Apr '11

Dear all, I'd like to write a label with a subscript in MetaFun where the subscript is a variable. I tried in several way but not succeed. The best which I made is for i= 0 upto 8: label( "z" & decimal i, z[i]); endfor; So the output is z1, z2, z3, ... And, the following commands are not working. label(btex z_i etex, z[i]); no error but the value of i is not listed. label(btex z_\MPvar{i} etex, z[i]); error Is there a good way to do that? Thank you for reading. Best regards, Dalyoung

> It’s the same as in the past, use MetaPost but there are better ways to change values of certain borders: As much as I like and prefer this solution, I can't get it to work as the old one. With the old one I had a frame 1pt, and just made a 2pt metapost frame around the last row. With the new example of yours I've came up with a minimal example that I've attached. I have to do the table setups, since I'm making the table via a macro, but for the simplicity I left that out from the minimal example. The problem is, that every even row seems to have thicker right/left and top borders, why is that? With both solution if I just draw a thicker bottom line it goes off on the right and left side. Can this be solved somehow? Thanks, Adam

Displaying text on a page in several steps
by Cecil Westerhof 19 Apr '11

19 Apr '11

I want to have several points on a page, but have them displayed one after the other. For example, the complete page is: MY POINTS 1. The first point 2. The second point 3. The third point 4. The fourth point Initially you see: MY POINTS 1. The first point After giving space you see: MY POINTS 1. The first point 2. The second point When giving again space, you see: MY POINTS 1. The first point 2. The second point 3. The third point And another space gives: MY POINTS 1. The first point 2. The second point 3. The third point 4. The fourth point Is this possible? -- Cecil Westerhof

rules with different thickness
by Reviczky, Adam 19 Apr '11

19 Apr '11

Hi I stumbled upon this while making a table with rules, where I wanted to have a particular row highlighted with a thicker border: http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg33678.html Since this was posted more then two years ago, I just wanted to know if anything changed on this front? Having r|l|t|b-offsets I thought I could use the same for rulethickness, but according to this, not yet. The metapost workaround works still fine, so for now I'm using that, just want to know what's the status on this. Adam

How to produce a dotless i with ConTeXt?
by Verhaag, G.C.H.M. 18 Apr '11

18 Apr '11

Hi, I need to use some Turkish in language support training and want to typeset everything using ConTeXt (MkIV). Anybody any idea how to apply the Turkish alphabet (e.g. the dotless i), while the main language of the document is English or Dutch? I for example tried to generate the soft g, the g with the caron (inverted circumflex!) above it, using \gcaron, which just works fine. But I'm unable to generate a dotless i! Thanks! Regards, Gerard Verhaag
