Figure libraries

Hi Hans, It seems that the figurelibrary mechanism is (still, previous post on 19-9-2005) broken.

Installation: TeX-Live
by Jeffrey Drake 20 Mar '06

20 Mar '06

i resolved my problem before about accessing the wiki by making a copy of everything while at a friends house. So any information leading to a conclusion is at least a week old. I am on a linux install (SuSE 10.0) and the wiki indicates to install ConTeXt in the location '/usr/TeX/texmf'. Even before this step it says to setup the fonts for ConTeXt use: cd /usr/TeX/texmf/context/data sudo texfont type-tmf.dat --en=texnansi --fontroot=/usr/TeX/texmf --install --makepath But TeXLive 2005 (where I did install ConTeXt - but want to update it) that I am using does not have a 'texmf/context' directory. However, there is a 'texmf-dist/context' directory. I need some guidance to make sure this is the proper directory or not. The only other thing I note in the TeXLive docs: For texmf: This tree (texmf) is for the support files and documentation of the programs in TeX Live. It does not include the TeX formats and packages themselves. Another criteria: everything that can be classified automatically by Fabrice's tpm-factory goes in texmf-dist. If not, it goes in texmf. For texmf-dist: This tree (texmf-dist) is for the formats (plain, LaTeX, ConTeXt, and all the rest) and all the packages, together with their documentation and sources. Most everything used in day-to-day TeXing, except the binaries themselves. Another criteria: everything that can be classified automatically by Fabrice's tpm-factory goes in texmf-dist (or texmf-doc). If not, it goes in texmf. And yet another: texmf-dist should be distribution-independent, so that, in theory, it could be used by distributions other than TeX Live. So, no web2c/kpathsea-specific files. Thank you for all assistance, Jeffrey Drake

assembling typescript
by Karsten Heymann 20 Mar '06

20 Mar '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, after Patrick Gundlach convinced me at DANTE 2006 to switch the small scientific magazine project I'm currently working on for a client from LaTeX co ConTeXt, I'm now preparing a sample document for my client to convince him, and for that I need your help :) I've spent the last two weeks getting in touch wich context and I must say I'm really impressed, nice work! First challenge is that the document fonts are URW GaramondNo8 for the text and Bitstream Futura (really: Bitstream Geometric 211) for the headings. I managed quite easyly to install them with texfont and the instructions from the contextgarden wiki[1] and compile the sample document with either font family. But now I'm trying to (1) understand the typescript files and (2) build an own typescript putting those fonts together. This is what I have so far: \usetypescriptfile[type-ugm] \usetypescriptfile[type-bfu] \starttypescript [ifa][texnansi] \definetypeface [ifa] [rm] [serif] [garamond] [default] ~ [encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface [ifa] [ss] [sans] [futura] [default] ~ [encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface [ifa] [tt] [mono] [modern] [default] ~ [encoding=texnansi] \stoptypescript \usetypescript[ifa][texnansi] %\ifa \starttext \ss \input knuth \rm \input knuth \stoptext (type-ugm.tex and type-bfu.tex are attached). What happens is: When I compile the file a is it is set in computer modern. To enable my fonts I have to comment out \starttypescript, \stoptypescript and \usetypescript and enable \ifa. How do I activate my fonts via a typescript.

Multi-page tables
by Randall Skelton 20 Mar '06

20 Mar '06

Hi all, I'm having a bit of trouble getting multiple page tables to work when also using \placetable for captions. Essentially, I want: (1) Captions and the ability to reference with \in[]. (2) Alignment within a cell at a decimal point. (3) Span multiple pages with header/footer. I think I would prefer to use the standard 'TABLES' method but it looks like item 2 is only supported in natural tables? Below are two examples. I don't get page breaks in either case and the table runs off the bottom of pages 2 and 3. Thanks, Randall \definepapersize [width=8.5in, height=11in] \setupcaption[table] [location=top] \starttext \section{Testing} This is a silly table test. \placetable[page][tbl:sample] {Sample table

It links to http://www.pragma-ade.com/labels.html, but that link doesn't work. Is this interface available elsewhere, or can I find the TeX-source somewhere in the ContextGarden? Yours, Jelle
