This does not work! I get allways the same. And shouldn't the tuc-seed be overwriten from my os.time-seed? Wolfgang

Extra page created at end of document
by Tom 06 Apr '10

06 Apr '10

The following code creates an extra page at the end of the pdf for a total of 3 pages: \setuppagenumbering[location=,alternative=doublesided] \setuppagenumber[state=stop] \starttext %\startfrontmatter \input knuth %\stopfrontmatter \stoptext But this code doesn't create that third page: \setuppagenumbering[location=,alternative=doublesided] \setuppagenumber[state=stop] \starttext \input knuth \stoptext I need to handle the creation of my book using frontmatter, etc. parts and don't want to create that unneeded page at the end.

Metafun in MacTeX 209 distribution
by jindrich Ruzicka 06 Apr '10

06 Apr '10

Hello people, I installed Mac TeX -2009 Distribution on a new iMAC. when I try to run texexec on a Context file that includes a metapost program, I receive no picture that is defined in metapost part. (btw in my linux installation it works) What I can find in log file is: ... runsystem(texmfstart texexec --batch --output=dvips --mpformat=metafun --mptex --nomp --once obrazek-mpgraph)...disabled. ... Running this sequence manually and reruning the 1st texexec I receive what I expect. Is it a feature of Mac distribution or there is a mismatch in some file/directory permissions? (mptopfd, ...) Are there another installation steps needed after fresh MacTeX installation? the test file is: \startuseMPgraphic{def} ... \stopuseMPgraphic \startuseMPgraphic{obr30} \includeMPgraphic{def} ... \stopuseMPgraphic \starttext test \placefigure[here][fig1]{yyy} {\useMPgraphic{obr30}} end of test \stoptext Nice day, Jindro

mkiv: wide gap between name and text of enumerations
by Matthias Weber 06 Apr '10

06 Apr '10

Dear all, I use in mkii \defineenumeration [blurb] [text=Blurb, way=bysection, location=hanging] \starttext \startblurb Here should only be a small gap. \stopblurb \stoptext to get something like Blurb 1 Here should only be a small gap. However, the same input gives in mkiv Blurb 1 Here should only be a small gap. Is there a way to narrow the gap? Thanks, Matthias

4th ConTeXt Meeting: Call for submissions
by Jano Kula 06 Apr '10

06 Apr '10

Dear all, 4th ConTeXt Meeting is closer now and it's time to think about its programme. --------------------------------------------------------------------- = Call for submissions = As in previous years, anything at all related to ConTeXt that you would like to share is an acceptable subject for a presentation, tutorial, discussion, Q&A session, demonstration, workshop, recital, sketch, or sermon. That said, this year Hans and Taco decided that it would be wise to focus a bit on documentation issues. The informal theme is therefore: *ConTeXt typesetting documentation, teach as we preach* It follows that if you have something to say on educating users on how to best use ConTeXt or to developers on how to best document ConTeXt (and who doesn't have an opinion on those topics!) your submission will be all the more appreciated. The programme committee is Hans Hagen Hagen and Taco Hoekwater, feel free to email them with hints and ideas. Because we want something interesting on the website, abstracts should be sent in before May 31 or even now, before opening the registration. --------------------------------------------------------------------- http://meeting.contextgarden.net/2010/ The page has been updated. We hope you won't get lost and everybody can find his way to Brejlov (see the 'location' part). The registration opening will follow shortly. We will inform you here, on the mailing list. Hans, Jano, Pavel & Taco The organizing committee

Framed text in paragraphs too wide
by Matthias Weber 06 Apr '10

06 Apr '10

Dear all, my problem with framed text persists in paragraphs: The frame extends over the entire page as soon as the paragraph has more than one line. Problem exists in mkii and mkiv. Minimal example below. Thanks, Matthias \setupcolors[state=start] \setupcolor[rgb] \definetextbackground [defbackground] [backgroundcolor=lightgray, background=color, frame=on, location=paragraph] \defineparagraphs [TwoThird][n=2] \setupparagraphs [TwoThird] [1] [width=.66\textwidth] \starttext \startTwoThird \starttextbackground[defbackground] The frame is too wide. The frame is too wide. The frame is too wide. \stoptextbackground % \nextTwoThird \placefigure [here] [figure:cow] {Mooh} {\externalfigure[cow][width=.3\textwidth]} \stopTwoThird \stoptext

Hanging indents
by Tom 06 Apr '10

06 Apr '10

I have a series of paragraphs for which the first line of each should not be indented, but the following lines should be. I can't figure out what option or combination of options will give me this result. Tom Benjey 717-258-9733 voice 717-243-0074 fax Twitter: @TomBenjey
