Canceling common primes with strikeout
by David Arnold 14 Jan '06

14 Jan '06

All, Anyone have a nice technique to "strike out" the common primes using the color red? \placeformula[-] \startformula \frac{12}{18}=\frac{2\cdot2\cdot3}{2\cdot3\cdot3}=\frac23 \stopformula

Hello Mojca, the symbol is "sans". Here a better example, to show what I want: \usemodule[symb-eur] \def\SomeEuros{\blank[small] normal \texteuro, {\sl slanted \texteuro}, {\bf bold \texteuro}, {\bs bold slanted \texteuro} {\tt tt \texteuro}, {\bf\tt bold tt \texteuro}} \starttext \ss here some sans euros: \SomeEuros \blank[big] \rm and here I want the same (sans, but they are serif): \SomeEuros \stoptext Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

Factor Trees
by David Arnold 13 Jan '06

13 Jan '06

Hi, Looking for an idea to set some simple factor trees. I.e., suppose that I want to prime factor 36 = 2x2x3x3. Can I get this using Metapost in a form of a binary tree with 36 at the top and the prime factors at the bottom as leaves? Any ideas? Thanks.

followtokens
by Alexandre Billon 13 Jan '06

13 Jan '06

Dear all, I am quite new to context (but love it) and i am trying tind a way to typeset texts "properly kerned" in such a way that the characters be all rotated with tiny randomized angle (strange project indeed). I tried to do it by writing a macro inspired by \followtokens. I have two questions : 1. It works but just for text within a single line : I have no clue how to manage the line breaking, and I have to admit that I don't know eanough TeX ConTeXt to find out. 2. In playing with the macro followtoken I happened to write two files with no apparent significant difference (I mean for me) but which give quite different results : one properly kerned, and another that is not. Could someone explain me what's happening here ? (files attached) Thanks a lot, Alexandre Billon

cyrillic font
by Junod Antoine 13 Jan '06

13 Jan '06

Hello list, I'm trying to write down some Russian-French vocabulary without any success. I've read the page about Russian in the wiki (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Russian) The examples are not working for me and that's certainly a font problem (acroread say that to me). How to know if the cm-super fonts are installed on my computer? I'm using a tetex distribution (2.0.2). For information, I'm able to output cyrillic with latex. Thanks a lot for your help. -AJ

bibmod
by Hans van der Meer 13 Jan '06

13 Jan '06

I want to use a bibtex database but get from \cite[key] only some reference like "(Xxxxxxxxxxx, 0000)". I gues I am doing something wrong. My setup comes from the instructions in the document bibmod-doc and there are both a syllabus.bib and a syllabus.bbl file present (and syllabus.aux is made by tex'ing): \usemodule[bib] \setupbibtex[database=syllabus] \setuppublications[numbering=yes] What details am I missing? yours sincerely, dr. H. van der Meer

Hi, Something has changed in the past couple months that causes my stretched title code to fail with the message: ! You can't use `\end' in internal vertical mode. <recently read> \normalend I've attatched a small example. Has anyone a suggestion how I can adapt my code accordingly? Cheers, Michael

Updated RawSteps module
by David Munger 13 Jan '06

13 Jan '06

Hi all, There have been many requests in the last few months regarding the RawSteps module, but I had not much time to spend on it before the holidays. Until Patrick updates the garden, you can grab the updated module on my website: http://mhd.selfip.info/tex/ The documentation is also updated on the wiki: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/RawSteps New features since 2005-04-11: * New macro: \OnSteps (thanks to Taco Hoekwater) * New macro: \StepsRegisterNumber as a numbering helper * Bug fixes: section numbering, table of contents, and step > 10. Since I'm rather loosely monitoring the list, please CC me when reporting bugs, or at least put "RawSteps" or "rsteps" as the first word of the subject, so my email client doesn't hide it. Best regards, David

Spacing problem (mixing Chinese with Latin characters)
by Tobias Burnus 12 Jan '06

12 Jan '06

Hello, if I type "[<chinese>]" the output is "[<chinese><space>]". (Example attached.) I addition I observed that "<chinese>;" will have a line break like "<chinese><new line>;" which looks quite ugly. (The ";" and "[]" are half-width Characters, i.e. the normal Latin characters and not those which are as wide as a Chinese character. Question: In the transliterization of Chinese the characters \definecharacter acaron {\buildtextaccent\textcaron a} % U+01CE \definecharacter icaron {\buildtextaccent\textcaron \dotlessi} % Unicode U+01D0 \definecharacter ocaron {\buildtextaccent\textcaron o} % U+01D2 \definecharacter ucaron {\buildtextaccent\textcaron u} % U+01D4 appear which are in the unicode block "Latin Extended B". Should/Could they be added? http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0180.pdf Tobias
