Dirty trick
by Antoine Junod 23 Mar '06

23 Mar '06

Hello list, I've got a piece of code that is absolutely aful. Unfortunately (sic) it makes what I want. \defineparagraphs[p][n=2,before={},after={}] \setupparagraphs[p][1][width=.2\textwidth,style=bold] \definetyping [code] \setuptyping [code] [margin=.23\textwidth,before={},after={\vskip-10pt}] \startp Operation: \p AuctionClient::providePersData($p$: Person)\stopp \startp Description: \p Fournit les données personnelles nécessaires à la création d'un compte, encapsulées dans un objet $p$.\stopp \startp Messages: \p{\tt auctionServer\^{}createAccount(p: Person);}\stopp\startcode sender^message(msg: String); sender^requestPersData() \stopcode \startp Pre: \p {\tt true}\stopp \startp Post: \p{\tt if (self.checkPersData(p))}\stopp\startcode then self.auctionServer.createAccount(p) and not(sender.message('Malformed personal data')) and not(sender.requestPersData()) else not(auctionServer^createAccount(p)) and sender^message('Malformed personal data') and sender^requestPersData() endif \stopcode \blank How could I improve that? I've tried a lot of different things but the main problem is that i can't type in verbatim mode because i'm in reduced horizontal mode. Thanks a lot for you help -AJ p.s.: the whole tests documents are there: http://www.tots-ns.net/tests/conception/test.tex http://www.tots-ns.net/tests/conception/test.pdf

All, Both this: %output=pdf \starttext We use the notation $(2,4)$ to denote what is called an {\em ordered pair}. If you think of the positions taken by \placefigure [left][fig:ordpair] {}{\externalfigure[section1figs-mpgraph.1]} ordered pairs $(4,2)$ and $(2,4)$ in the coordinate plane (see \in{Figure}[fig:ordpair]), then it is immediately apparent why order is important. The ordered pair $(4,2)$ is simply not the same as the ordered pair $(2,4)$. \stoptext And this: %output=pdf \starttext We use the notation $(2,4)$ to denote what is called an {\em ordered pair}.

Install mess (Type3 Fonts)
by nico 21 Mar '06

21 Mar '06

I know, I shouldn't have updated the context distrib, but I did... Of course, I add problems with missing fonts, and installed the lm fonts from CTAN. Now texexec can compile again. But the fonts used are now horrible, producing fuzzy letters. Can anyone give me some hints to fix this buggy install? If it can be of some help here is a log of a program I compiled.

MathML test suite feedback
by nico 20 Mar '06

20 Mar '06

Hello, I've compiled with ConTeXt a large excerpt from the MathML 2.0 Test Suite (http://www.w3.org/Math/testsuite) and I encountered the following problems (test cases attached): - Percentage in tag attributes are not correctly handled (seem to be seen as tex comments) and make context crashes. - mfenced with empty separators doesn't work. - Using different brackets in <mo> doesn't work. - I don't know if it's a local install problem, but some fonts are not found when using UTF encoding. This said, only 6% (41/657) of the tests fails, which is an excellent rate. BTW, if someone is interested in the big context file containing all the tests, just tell me. I can also send the perl script used to generate this doc. Regards, BG
