clashing filenames for modules
by Hans Hagen 12 Nov '04

12 Nov '04

Hi, As reaction on an earlier remark on this list concerning clashing names between modules (*-layout): \usemodule[layout] can also be used as: \usemodule[t][layout] which means that the third party module will be loaded.

\in{hyperref}[tableref] at first char of line causes misplaced paragraph
by Nigel King 11 Nov '04

11 Nov '04

Hi, This has bugged me for a number of years and I have only just realised the exact cause. Previous requests to solve table and figure spacing problems are all due to this I think. Basically the hyperreference in the first character of a paragraph mangles the paragraph formatting. Below is a minimum (I think) file which demonstrates the problem very clearly. \setupinteraction[state=start] \setupwhitespace[big] \starttext \input tufte \startbuffer[] \bTABLE[width=2.5in] \bTR \bTD \input tufte \eTD\eTR \eTABLE \stopbuffer \placetable [right] [tab:1] {A Table} {\getbuffer[]} \input tufte \in{Table}[tab:1] this paragraph does not format correctly because the hypereference is at the first character of the paragraph. Note that the spacing (before) is incorrect as well as the width. T\in{able}[tab:1] this paragraph does format correctly because the hypereference is not using the first character of the paragraph. \input tufte \stoptext TIA Nigel King

Re: [NTG-context] Tex or Context Editors.

Hi Idriss, I had a look at WinEdt and it is very tex oriented, but i have seen any reference to Context. Do you see some advantages for Context use (I have seen support for tex tables, project (Don't know which kind ..)) ? Thanks.

Thanks all, Unfortunately, for the moment i wouldn't use emacs but i have tried scite. The first problem i can see is that it does not handle multiple files opening, color setup isn't straight forward (Have to deal with hexa values) .. Apart from this, looks fine. It seems like WinEdt is a lot more oriented towards Tex and friends writing (Has even grammatical correction). What about texwork then ? Thanks for your suggestions.

Thanks anyway. > >David > Hi David, A few months ago I had to use steps in my presentations, but since I could not use thouroughly s-pre-60.tex (and the examples given in s-pre-61.tex) I ended up writing a few macros which work fine with ConTeXt and the presentation modules. These macros are very elementary and crude, but they work... If I succeed to learn how to use layers smartly as does Hans, I will write these macros again. :-) Below are the macros and some examples. Best regards: OK %%%%%%%%%%%% begin test-step-ok.tex %%K test-step-ok.tex %%K Here we use the plain \TeX\ command \phantom{} in order to have %%K some material appear step by step. %%K The structure is quite simple, but since I am not very %%K familiar with ConTeXt, I cannot write elegant code as does %%K Hans Hagen... %%K %%K An advantage is that the code can be used also in %%K plain TeX, in LaTeX and other macro-packages. %%K \newif\ifSteppingSlide \SteppingSlidetrue %%K this is when you want a step by step presentation %\SteppingSlidefalse %%K this is when you want to print the slides % \newcount\StepsCounter \StepsCounter=0 % \newcount\NumberOfSteps \NumberOfSteps=10 % \newcount\BeforeStepNumber \BeforeStepNumber=0 % %%K StepBetween[number1,number2]{material} will make "material" %%K appear between steps "number1" and "number2" \def\StepBetween[#1,#2]#3{% \ifSteppingSlide \ifnum#1>\StepsCounter \phantom{#3} \else \ifnum#2<\StepsCounter \phantom{#3} \else \relax #3 \fi \fi \else {#3} \fi} % %%K Step{number1}{material} will make "material" %%K appear beginning with step "number1" until "NumberOfSteps" \def\Step#1#2{\StepBetween[#1,\NumberOfSteps]{#2}} % %%K OnlyStep{number1}{material} will make "material" %%K appear only on step "number1" \def\OnlyStep#1#2{\StepBetween[#1,#1]{#2}} % %%K StepBefore{number1}{material} will make "material" %%K appear only on all steps before "number1" \def\StepBefore#1#2{ \global\BeforeStepNumber=#1 \StepBetween[0,\BeforeStepNumber]{#2}} % \long\def\SlideWithSteps#1#2{ \ifSteppingSlide \global\StepsCounter=0 \global\NumberOfSteps=#1 \MakeSteps{#2} \else #2 \fi} % \long\def\MakeSteps#1{\loop #1 \ifnum\StepsCounter<\NumberOfSteps \global\advance\StepsCounter by 1\vfill\eject \repeat \vfill\eject} % %%K This is the end of the macros %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % \endinput %%K Here is a sample of how you can use these macros %%K \starttext \startitemize \SlideWithSteps{8}{ \item Consider the following nonlinear equation: $$\Step{8}{{\partial u \over \partial t}} \Step{1}{-\Delta u + |u|^{p-1}u} \Step{2}{=} \Step{3}{f} \Step{4}{+{\rm div}(g)} \Step{5}{+|\nabla u|{\Step{6}{^2}}}$$ \StepBetween[3,5]{\item This line appears only between steps 3 and 5} \Step{8}{\item The equation may be parabolic.} \StepBefore{4}{\item This line appears only before step 4.} \OnlyStep{4}{\item This line appears only at step 4.} \vfill (Here you see step number \the\StepsCounter) } % end of \SlideWithSteps \stopitemize \page \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

OT: i18n peace
by Henning Hraban Ramm 10 Nov '04

10 Nov '04

Hi there! For a christmas decoration I need the word "peace" in different languages. I got enough latin-written, but I need some more "exotic". If you can speak/write a non-latin written language, it would be nice if you could send me (off list!) a PDF with the word "peace" in this language. (I need it scalable!) I already got persian, and I know how to write it russian. Thank you in advance! Grüßlis vom Hraban! --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/

bug with glue and spaces in formulas?
by Otared Kavian 10 Nov '04

10 Nov '04

Hi Hans and all Contexters, While discussing with David Munger about the Steps macros he wrote for presentations in ConTeXt (see the thread \presentationstep), we noticed that there seems to be a problem with "white spaces" or glue around some "binary operators" such as +, - and =. Please see the result of the following sample. Best regards: OK %%%% begin file test-glue.tex \starttext This is to verify how the space, or glue, is controlled in \ConTeXt. First some binary operators ``$\in$'', ``$+$'', ``$-$'' and ``$=$'' without grouping braces: \placeformula[eq:plain] \startformula x\in \Omega \subset {\Bbb R}^N,\quad\quad -\Delta u + u -u^3 = f. \stopformula Next the same with braces \placeformula[eq:braces1] \startformula x{\in} \Omega {\subset} {\Bbb R}^N,\quad\quad {-}\Delta u {+} u {-u^3} {=} f. \stopformula Note how the spaces around the signs $\in$, $+$, $-$ and $=$ have shrinked. The problem seems to appear when these are actually binary operators (that is $+1$ and ${+}1$ give the same result, while $1+2=3$ is different from $1{+}2{=}3$). I haven't tried all such binary operators, but it seems that this happens with all of them: compare $A \cap B$ and $A{\cap}B$, or $A\cup B$ and $A{\cup}B$. \stoptext %%%%% end file test-glue.tex
