Sorry to keep going on about this, but trying to load the project/environment with either of \project myproject \environment myenvironment in the component (directly after \startcomponent) gives me an error. It compiles fine without these commands, but then the \ruby command does not work. What am I doing wrong? Thank you. Severin >> Thank you, it's almost working.

Unzip it and replace the luatex binary in /Users/robert/ConTeXt- minimals-17-10-10/bin (I'm not sure if that's enough, though.) Comment line 92 in first-setup.sh (the one rsyncing $platform/bin) und run first-setup again (i.e. it would just run the mtxrun line 96). Since the binary from the distribution works on my iBook G3, I don't think that's really the problem. Are you sure OSX's BSD subsystem is installed? "dyld: incompatible cpu-subtype" in the mtxrun point at some library problem. I've not enough experience to handle that. Greetlings from Lake Constance!

itemize
by Herbert Voss 20 Oct '10

20 Oct '10

In the documentation I found \setupitemgroup, \setupitemize and in the list of all commands \setupitems. I didn't find any example for the \setupitems. However, I can set all parameters with the other two commands. So the question is: when do I need \setupitems and has someone a working example? Herbert

Caption textcommand option
by Cedric Mauclair 20 Oct '10

20 Oct '10

Hi Hans and all, Would it be possible to add an options to the captions with name textcommand to typeset the caption text only. In French, we use a point at the end of the captions, but if I want to use \about... somewhere, I end up with the dot too, which I don't want. Currently I have changed, rather crudely, the definition of \putcompletecaption... to take that into account. Here is what I came up with. \def\DotAtEnd#1{#1.} \setupcaptions[\c!textcommand=\DotAtEnd] % ADDED \long\def\putcompletecaption ... \begstrut\floatcaptionparameter\c!textcommand{#2}\endstrut\endgraf % MODIFIED \fi \endgroup %\floatcaptionparameter\c!after % test for side effects first \doifsomething{\floatcaptionparameter\c!spaceafter}{\blank[\floatcaptionparameter\c!spaceafter]}} %% END YUCK!! I am sure there is a better way though. Regards. -- Cédric

Re: [NTG-context] Failure to Install minimals on iBook G3
by Robert Blackstone 19 Oct '10

19 Oct '10

Thank you, Arthur and Mojca, for your quick and clear response. It is probably not worth bothering for this particular machine. I have access to the minimals on several other Macs (including a much older, not to say ancient PowerMac G4, also on Tiger). So I'm not particularly needy in this respect. I rescued this iBook from a garbage dump, in fact there were two of them, both defect, from which I have been able to make one working machine, and I just thought that it would have been nice to have ConTeXt-minimals on it. But it is puzzling. I never had any problems with two other PPC Macs, so what makes this one essentially different? (No answer needed.) Best regards, Robert Blackstone

Failure to Install minimals on iBook G3
by Robert Blackstone 19 Oct '10

19 Oct '10

Hello, I tried in vain to install the minimals on an old (2003) but still functional iBook G3, running under OSX 10.4.11. After having received some 4MB, I get the message: "dyld: incompatible cpu-subtype" plus a reference to line 103 of first-setup.sh. Does anybody on this list know what could be done about this. Btw, this iBook can handle TeX and ConTeXt. I installed MacTeX 2009 and everything works. But I would prefer the minimals. Thanks in advance. Robert Blackstone

\setuphead
by Herbert Voss 19 Oct '10

19 Oct '10

in http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Titles is an example for a wrong setting: \starttext \setuphead[section][textstyle=\em,textcommand=\WORD] \section{A not so long title} \stoptext the wiki sais, that this leads to \WORD{\EM A not so long title} which should give an error. However, the above works for me in the same way as \starttext \setuphead[section][textstyle=\em,deeptextcommand=\WORD] \section{A not so long title} \stoptext mkiv, TeXLive2010 Herbert

amssymb
by kosubek com 19 Oct '10

19 Oct '10

Dear Sirs, I have a problem with displaying some special characters from the AMS Symbol-fontset, e.g. \blacksquare, \blacktriangle, ... The symbols are displayed under MkII but not under MkIV. (MkII and MkIV-version: 2010.05.24) The symbols are defined in "math-ent.lua", but how can I call this file to show the missing symbols? Is it possible to make a link to the now-non-existing Module "amsl" so I can use old ConTeXt-documents without changes? Thanks for your help Bernd Kosubek

duplex, marking
by kosubek com 19 Oct '10

19 Oct '10

Dear Sirs, I have trouble with \setuplayout[location=duplex] and \setuplayout[marking=color] (MkII-version: 2010.05.24 / MkIV-version: dito) A modified sample (from the ConTeXt-documentation "cont-en.pdf", section 1.6) will show the problem: \setuppapersize[B5][A4] \setuplayout[location=duplex,marking=color] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \starttext page 1 \page page 2 \page page 3 \page page 4 \stoptext The result are 4 pages on the left upper corner (--> odd pages) (MkII and(!) MkIV). instead of upper right/upper left (pages 1 and 2) upper right/upper left (pages 3 and 4). The option location={duplex,left} gives the same results. The color-bars are only displayed at MkIV, with MkII only the cropmarks are shown. Can anybody help me with the duplex option in MkiII and MkIV and getting color-bars in MkII? Thanks for your help Bernd Kosubek

problem with t-filter/t-vim
by Chen Shen 19 Oct '10

19 Oct '10

Hi Adityam, I am using the t-filter/t-vim module, and got stuck with two problems with it. 1. everything works fine if there is only one \definevimtyping declaration. However, if i declare two of them, as in the following: %%%%%%% \definevimtyping[PythonCode][syntax=python] \definevimtyping[CPPCode][syntax=cpp] \startPythonCode ... % Code A \stopPythonCode \startPythonCode ... % Code B \stopPythonCode %%%%%%% The counter for the temporary files is never incremented. So there is only "jobname-externalfilter-PythonCode-0.tmp" in the directory. Consequently, Code B appears twice in the produced PDF, while Code A never appears. 2. Every line in the Python code becomes a new paragraph in ConTeXt. I wonder if this could be changed. I am using \setupwitespace[line], so the spacing between two lines of source is too large. I am using the dev/ branch in the github repository. Thank you very much. regards, shenchen
