Re: [NTG-context] indent lost after \placefigure
by Tom Benjey 11 Feb '10

11 Feb '10

Is there something else I should do? I still have 2 instances of the paragraph immediately after a figure not indented. Both of these are on the tops of their respective pages. And I have one paragraph just before a figure that is not indented. I tried \indenting[yes] for the paragraphs in question to no avail.

\showmathcharacters problems with TeXlive 2009 on Win 7 64bit
by commb07＠googlemail.com 10 Feb '10

10 Feb '10

hi i'm on Win 7 64bit and have installed TeXlive 2009 today via the net-installer. i can process context-files, but have some problems: i get "pdftex warning: pdftex.exe: no glyphtounicode entry has been inserted yet" if i use the command \showmathcharacters, and the table in the pdf is empty. in a more complex file i get "! Dimension too large. .."-error additionally on \showmathcharacters, table is empty as well. tried to get a recent version of context by directing texlive manger to "http://minimals.contextgarden.net/texlive/beta", but no matter what i try to update/install (by the way what should i do there?) , i get "00texlive.installation not found, cannot read option available_architectures. TLPDB::setting: no available_architectures, returning empty list ... Fertig. Executing action install 00texlive.config [1/1, ??:??/??:??] install: 00texlive.config [1k] Downloading http://minimals.contextgarden.net/texlive/beta/archive/00texlive.config.tar… did not succeed, please retry." i noticed that archives have the extension ".tar.lzma" on the server but texlivemanager is looking for ".tar.xz", can i do anything about that? if somebody had some hints what i could/should try/avoid, that would help a lot..

+1 for this, but they are type1 fonts (legacy) does they support Cyrillic? > I would like support for more fonts out of the box (in the minimals). > For example it would be really nice to be able to use > utopia+fourier (http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/fourier-GUT/ ) > charter+mathdesign ( > http://tug.ctan.org/cgi-bin/ctanPackageInformation.py?id=mathdesign ) > > Mikael > Vyatcheslav

Where did page numbers go?
by Mojca Miklavec 10 Feb '10

10 Feb '10

Hello Hans, \currentpage (as already reported by Peter Münster) doesn't work in MKIV (always returns 1) and \setnumber[page]{0} has zero effect (in MKII; in MKIV I cannot test it anyway). Thanks, Mojca

\insertcrossref
by Philipp Gesang 10 Feb '10

10 Feb '10

Hi all, is there any way to get \insertcrossref to get the title or the short title of the crossref'd publication, too? Right now it only retrieves author/editor name and the year but that doesn't suffice for some bibliography specifications. Thanks, Philipp -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments

xml entities and trailing space
by Thomas A. Schmitz 09 Feb '10

09 Feb '10

Hi all, Hans, this is something I had mentioned a few weeks ago, but wanted to complain about it again: when you define xml entities as TeX commands, those used to preserve trailing spaces. This hasn't been the case since a number of version. I would like to recommend havin the old behavior back (since adding spaces isn't as easy in xml as it is in TeX). The example below demonstrates the problem. All best Thomas \startbuffer[xmltest] <p>A &textbar; B</p> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups xml:mysetups \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{p}{xml:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:mysetups} \startxmlsetups xml:p \xmlflush{#1} \par \stopxmlsetups \xmlsetentity{textbar}{\textbar} \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{xmltest}{} \stoptext

I found this feature in floatrow useful because i had a lot of graphics in different widths and heights so it was easy to „stitch“ them together.
