typesetting proofs
by debongnie＠math.ucl.ac.be 21 Nov '05

21 Nov '05

Dear ConTeXt users, i am trying to typeset correctly proofs in a document. I tried to use the following definition : \defineenumeration[preuve] [location=serried, headstyle=slanted, text=Preuve, number=no, after={\hfil\QED}] It's almost what i want, but there's a slight problem. The command after executes itself after a newline, so, the QED symbol is typeset at the line after the end of the proof. What i'd like to have is the qed symbol at the end of the last line of the proof. Any insight on how i can do that? Thanks

Re: Compiling stops with ...
by David Arnold 21 Nov '05

21 Nov '05

Gerben, Taco, OK, I am using Gerben's Context Updated with a beta, so I think what's running is the context in texmf.local. I have two type-tmf.dat. lm $ locate type-tmf.dat /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/context/data/type-tmf.dat /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/context/data/type-tmf.dat lm $ Does it matter which of these I use? Before I run "texfont --encoding=texnansi --batch type-tmf.dat," two things: 1. How do I figure out whether to set TEXMFMAIN or TEXMFDIST? That is, how can I tell where these environment variables point? 2. I could cut and paste in type-tmf.dat, but can I do it with one line in the file type-tmf.dat somehow? What would be the line I would add near the top of the file? On Nov 20, 2005, at 12:17 AM, Taco Hoekwater wrote: > > Hi David, > > Gerben Wierda wrote: > >> Hans?

bibtex: crossref / van
by Rob Ermers 20 Nov '05

20 Nov '05

Dear friends, I noticed that the crossref instruction in my bib file does not work. In the documentation are no clear clues. I changed InCollection --> InBook and vice versa. I tried putting the referenced book before and after the referencing item in the bib file. In fact, a reference does appear (between brackets), but the title referenced to is not printed. I read in the archive Taco's advice of putting \setbox\scratchbox={\hbox{\placepublications}} before \completepublications, but Context stumbles at the setbox command. 2. I also have problems with sorting author names like Van den Heuvel. Under Latex I used \noopsort, but this does not seem to work under Context Does anyone have a clue? Kind regards, Robert

Some examples: Hi Mikael, I had a look at your nice sudoku example mentioned in your message to the thread "Mini survey...", that is: http://hurf.mine.nu/micke/tex/sudoku.pdf (with fill-ins) http://hurf.mine.nu/micke/tex/gp28aug.pdf (with solution steps) I saw that there is a distraction contest on the PracTeX journal for creating sudokus with TeX, and thought your solution using ConTeXt would be a very nice contribution. See http://tug.org/pracjourn/2005-4/distract/ Best regards: OK

AMS-style bibliography?
by Giuseppe Bilotta 20 Nov '05

20 Nov '05

Is there a pre-rolled bibliography style that looks follows the AMS specs? (BTW, when trying out various alternatives= I found that only aps works, all of the others bomb complaining extra # marks. I'm using a September 2005 version of t-bib ... do I need to upgrade?)

Textblock does not match the layout parameters
by Willi Egger 18 Nov '05

18 Nov '05

Hi, While developping a page-layout for a book I cam across the following strange behaviour: The textblock in the attached example is larger than the paramters in the layout section would indicate. The pagenumber in the footer however respects the layout-parameters. Showframe does print the correct layout as given in de layout section. To me it looks like a calculation error. Hans could you please comment on this? Thanks Willi % Test-file % \showframe gives the correct dimensions. % The textblock however is larger than it should be. Interestingly it is at left and right margin % the same amount. % The pagenumber in the footer is placed correctly. % Context file % filename: boek-zetspiegel.tex % Willi Egger % 17-11-2005 \setupoutput[pdftex] \setupbodyfont[rm,10pt] \definepapersize[Boek][width=125mm,height=200mm] \setuppapersize[Boek][A4] \setuppagenumbering[state=start,location={footer,marginedge},alternative=doublesided] \setuplayout [topspace=16.7mm, header=0pt, headerdistance=0pt, margin=8mm, backspace=10.4mm, textwidth=93.8mm, margindistance=1mm, footerdistance=3\bodyfontsize, footer=1.5\bodyfontsize, location=middle] \setuptolerance[tolerant] \starttext \showframe \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte \blank[0.5cm]} \stoptext

Font Introduction --- Or more of a reintroduction
by David Arnold 18 Nov '05

18 Nov '05

All, It's been some time since I've tried anything other than the computer modern fonts. I am aware of the manuals for font instruction in Context, but if I want to pick up the topic again, what links and/or manuals should I read, and in what order, to get up-to-date instruction on handling fonts in context?
