Hi, I have sources of context cont-eni.pdf. When I try to compile them I get lots of errors. I am using Mark IV. However, I am successfully able to compile Metafun manual using texexec. Any clues? -- Best regards, Shiv Shankar Dayal

Hi Hans, more serious: today's beta doesn't process my xml files. Too late today for a minimal example; maybe the error can give a clue: systems : end file vorlesung-mkiv at line 1 systems : begin file historiker at line 1 !

Page Numbering of First and Last Page
by Bryant Eastham 20 Oct '09

20 Oct '09

All- Sorry if this is simple - I have searched but not found an answer. New to ConTeXt, not LaTeX. Given: % output=pdftex % environment file \setuppapersize[A4] \setuplist[chapter,section][chapternumber=yes] \setuppagenumbering[location={header,right},way=bysection,chapternumber= yes] \setupsectionblock[frontpart][page=no] \setupsectionblock[bodypart][page=no] \setupsectionblock[appendix][page=no] \setupsectionblock[backpart][page=no] \mainlanguage[en] \starttext \startfrontmatter \completecontent \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \chapter[ch1]{Chapter 1} \section{Chapter 1/Section 1} Text. \page Text. \stopbodymatter \stoptext Questions: 1. What controls the page number that appears above the table of contents? It currently shows "1". 2. Why does the page number on the last page not include the chapter? It currently shows "2". Reading over some past posts I can postulate that the page numbering is being reset before the last page has been output. But no matter where I put my "setuppagenumbering" command the first page and last page don't seem to be affected. Better said, they are affected but not in the way I would expect... J What am I not seeing? Log file attached. Thanks, -Bryant Panasonic Electric Works Laboratory of America - SLC Lab 4525 So.

section numbers
by Thomas A. Schmitz 20 Oct '09

20 Oct '09

Hi all, I could have sworn there was a thread recently about the same question, but can't find it: I want section numbers without the prefixed chapter number. Isn't this supposed to work? \setuphead[section] [previousnumber=no] \starttext \chapter{One} \section{one} I was expecting the section to be numbered 1, not 1.1! \stoptext It prints "1.1" both in mkii and mkiv. What is the magic bullet? Thanks Thomas

Context & emacs-muse [possibly OT]
by Roger Mason 19 Oct '09

19 Oct '09

Hello, I'm using emacs-muse to write a document to be published to ConTeXt. The document contains a little math. According to this wiki page: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_and_emacs-muse#Math it is possible to include math in muse using <math> and </math> tags, which trigger corresponding $ markup in the ConTeXt output. The problem is that a muse expression like <math>\sum type = nMn</math> is published as \switchtobodyfont[small]math\switchtobodyfont[big]\textbackslash{}sum type = nMn\switchtobodyfont[small]/math\switchtobodyfont[big] rather than the expected $\sum type = nMn$. The muse manual for the version I'm using (3.12) makes no mention of the <math> tags, so I'm wondering if it is an add-on written by (or available to) someone on this list. Thanks for any help (and sorry if this is a bit off topic). Roger

embed fonts
by Thomas A. Schmitz 19 Oct '09

19 Oct '09

Hi all, this seems like a very basic question, but I haven't found anything on the wiki and in the archive: I'm typesetting a book with mkiv, and the printer wants all fonts completely embedded. I knew how to do this in mkii, but what about mkiv? (Btw, I'm using \enableprotruding and \enableadjusting, would this make any difference for embedding the fonts?) Thanks, and all best Thomas

highlighting chars on a path
by Aurelien Giraud 19 Oct '09

19 Oct '09

Hello, I am new to ConTeXt and I have looked on the internet for a way to do something special. Unfortunately I have not found any solution. I hope this is the right place for such a question. I apologise otherwise. I would like to highlight (e.g. put in bold, or change the color...) any character on a page which sits on a chosen path. I would like to be able to position for instance an invisible circle on a page and have all the characters "in contact" with this circle change color so that the circle become visible via these characters. Is it something I could do with ConTeXt? Thanks in advance. Aurelien

[MP] labels of points on a circle
by dalyoung 19 Oct '09

19 Oct '09

Hi all, To draw 9 points with labels, I used the following code. \startbuffer[point2] path p; numeric i; i=1; for j =0.5,1.3,2.5,3,4,4.8,6,7.2,7.9: z[i] = dir(j*45) scaled 4cm; i:= i+1; endfor; p := z1..z2..z3..z4..z5..z6..z7..z8..z9..cycle; draw p; drawpoints p; drawpointlabels p; \stopbuffer \placefigure[middle][]{}{\processMPbuffer[point2]} Then it draw everything well except writing labels inside the circle. How can I write the labels of the points outside of the circle? I'd like to draw 9 points randomly on a circle. Is there a nice way to do it? Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung
