More numbering trouble with blocks
by Matthias Weber 25 Jan '10

25 Jan '10

Dear all, when pairing exercises with recalled solution blocks it seems that both are numbered consecutively but independently. When I don't give a solution to an exercise, the subsequent solution numbers are incorrect. What is the proper way to deal with this? Manipulate the counter in the exercises without answers somehow? Basic example attached. Thanks, Matthias

spaces in file names
by Hans van der Meer 24 Jan '10

24 Jan '10

I would like to include a file with spaces in its name. Clearly it does not work using: \input /Users/me/dir with spaces/file I can use something like: \def\DataDirectory#1{\def\DATADIRECTORY{#1/}} % in reality coping with empty #1 \DataDirectory{/Users/me/dir with spaces} \def\Input#1{\input "\DATADIRECTORY#1"} and then that file is read. When however I want to set this directory with \setupexternalfigures[directory=\DATADIRECTORY] it does not find the picture file there. How can I accomplish the setup? Do I miss something? Using contextbeta, if that makes a difference. Hans van der Meer

Hyperlinks in the table of contents/ Mark IV
by Matthias Weber 24 Jan '10

24 Jan '10

Dear all, it appears that the hyperlinks from the section numbers in the table of contents to the actual sections have disappeared in Mark IV. The following works in Mark II: \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext \completecontent \section{A} \section{B} \stoptext There certainly is a magic word to re-open that door? Thanks, Matthias

coloring rules
by Hans van der Meer 24 Jan '10

24 Jan '10

ConTeXt ver: 2010.01.19 23:29 MKIV fmt: 2010.1.20 int: english/ english Coloring hrule's and vrule's with \color[aColor]{\vrule heightdepthwidth} works only if aColor is one of the standardcolors like red, blue, gray, etc. But defining other colors don't color the rule \definecolor[mygray][r=. 6,g=.7,b=.7]\color[mygray]{\vrule heightdepthwidth} typesets the rule in black, not in mygray. The strange is that the lines around \framed[framecolor=mygray] do get colored correctly. How can I accomplish the general coloring of vrule's and hrule's? Hans van der Meer

times new roman, arial and courier fonts
by Marius 24 Jan '10

24 Jan '10

Hello all, how to set times new roman as \rm, arial as \ss and courier as \tt? \usetypescriptfile[type-win] \usetypescript[times] \usetypescript[arial] \usetypescript[courier] \setupbodyfont[times,10pt] This code sets just \rm, but \ss and \tt are left as default latin modern font. Thank you, Marius

Speed of texexec with Unicode TrueType Font
by Bryant Eastham 23 Jan '10

23 Jan '10

All- Apologies if the question should go to another list - let me know if so. I am using texexec with MSPMincho on a Japanese utf-8 document. I followed the instructions and it appears to work well. Texexec runs several passes, and on each pass spends a *long* time integrating each font "page". I get many lines saying: {<path to enc>/MSPMinchoXX.enc}<<path to tt>/MSPMincho.ttf> The time taken in this process is many times that of the rest of the conversion. The resulting PDF font properties lists "MS-PMincho (Embedded Subset), Type: TrueType, Encoding: Built-in" 75 times. I imagine that I am glad that the whole font is not included (for file size). However, during development it is painful to wait. Is there a way to optimize the process? Thanks, -Bryant [Panasonic] Panasonic Electric Works Laboratory of America - SLC Lab 4525 So.
