Can I do something in e.g. texexec.ini so that texexec --make generates both pdfetex and aleph formats? Right now I still have to compile the aleph format separately. 2. Also: Although the tex engine per se is no longer needed, we still need to be able to e.g., aleph --ini *plain \dump right now some files (like manfnt) are missing from the distribution. It's very important to be able to compile aleph in plain fmt for testing purposes (it's how i found at least a couple of context-aleph bugs, for ex.).

Aleph reminder
by Idris Samawi Hamid 18 Aug '05

18 Aug '05

Dear syndicate, For those using aleph and ConTeXt: upon upgrading don't forget to comment all extra_mem_bot.context = lines in texmf.cnf, both in \texmf and \texmf-local, otherwise aleph will crash on e.g. over/underfull boxes. If Giuseppe reads this: the main XeTeX developer believes he found the source of this bug (and a fix->)...

Is engine path working? Is there one command to generate both aleph and pdfetex formats or do I have to do this separately? Any other upgrade tips are appreciated!

Image Database
by Jessica Holle 18 Aug '05

18 Aug '05

I've some questions about the Image Database. I found no answers in the xfigure.pdf. Can I generate the xml file automaticly? I can use xmltools --dir --pattern=/home/tralal/*.jpg --output=tralala.xml but then in the xml file doesn't stad figure, there is file. so this doesn't work I think. Must everything be in the same folder? the xmlfile, the images and my document I'm writing? Or can I specify a directory in the xmlfile? So that the images can be on an other folder than the xmlfile? Must the xmlfile be in the same directory than my document?

upgrading to latest ConTeXt
by Idris Samawi Hamid 18 Aug '05

18 Aug '05

Dear gang, Have not updated in a while, noticed a new mswincontext.zip, now trying to upgrade to the latest. First thing: System complains that pdfetex.dll cannot be found. Sure enough, there is no such dll in the distribution. 2. Can I go back to the last mswincontext and just use cont-tmf, or are there some new features in the latest mswincontext that we need?

Uppercase in headers
by Olivier 18 Aug '05

18 Aug '05

Hi, I would like to set the headers all caps, but not the title of the section in the body text. This setting %\setupheader[text][style={\WORD}] % <- does not work \setupheadertexts[text][\setups{run:left}][][][\setups{run:right}] \startsetups run:left \CapHeadFont\pagenumber\qquad\WORD{\getmarking[section]} \stopsetups eats the section title in the headers. What should I do to get it right? Thanks, Olivier

[Fwd: [NTG-context] Re: ec encoding and tcaron]
by Hans Hagen 17 Aug '05

Hi Jacko, There is some confusion about tcaron. The problem si that when another name is used, am2tfm cannot create proper small caps when there is no matching upper/lowercase slot. What do you advice in this. Should the ec enc file be changed?

alpha version
by Hans Hagen 17 Aug '05

17 Aug '05

Hi, For those interested in sorting registers ... ... the alpha release has sort-* files in it. For the moment you need to load: \readfile{sort-ini}{}{} After that mainlanguage[sl] \starttext test \index {aa1} test \index {ab1} test \index {aa2} test \index {ab2} test \index {aa10} test \index {aa8} test \index {aa9} test \index {aa11} test \index {aa10} test \index {cccc} test \index {\ccaron ccc} test \index {\cacute ccc} test \index {caaa} test \index {\ccaron aaa} test \index {\cacute aaa} \placeindex \stoptext will adapt itself to the language. Sort orders are defined in sort-lan.tex. You need to run 'newtexexec' (ruby reimplementation of texexec), which uses the texutil module/class instead of the program (faster). The reimplementation of texutil permits user plugins and such (more about that later). I need more info on sort order about for instance czech and german and ...
