\filbreak OK--TOC again--dupes in index.
by John Culleton 30 Apr '04

30 Apr '04

1. Is it OK to use the plain tex command \filbreak in a Context run? If not OK is there a Context command that has the same effect (preventing a section of text from being split between pages)? 2. Also, I have tried several changes to my TOC code but it still yields a blank line between items. Yet the TOC of some manuals are single spaced. I cannot spot the anomaly. 3. Finally, I notice an anomaly in the indexing capability of Context. For many years I have relied on makeindex, which among other things prevents dupicative entries (the same page number printed twice on the same entry.) However Context seems to allow that. I can of course revert to the eplain indexing macros and makeindex, but it seems to me that Context should not print the same page number twice in the index. -- John Culleton Able Typesetters and Indexers http://wexfordpress.com

verbatim problem
by Severin Obertüfer 29 Apr '04

29 Apr '04

hello i have a little verbatim problem i used the \startEIFFEL \stopEIFFEL verbatim environment in a verry simple way like this: \startEIFFEL class DEQUE [G] inherit DOUBLE_LINKED_LIST[G] rename extend as insertRight, prepend as insertLeft end create make, make_empty feature -- Access -- and so on \stopEIFFEL now i wanted to make this things a bit more useful and flexible. i thougt of something like this \startEIFFEL \input deque \stopEIFFEL but of corse the keyword input is normal text in verbatim mode... :) is there a simple solution for that, for example like this \startEIFFEL \specialcommand{\input deque} \stopEIFFEL ??? by the way : can i give as to the inputcommand a argument like this: \input D:\Files\ETH\Eiffel\deque.e where "deque.e" is a normal eiffel source file.... thanks for an answer mfg severin

marking, headers and 2 columns
by Tobias Hilbricht 28 Apr '04

28 Apr '04

Dear readers of this list, I would like to typeset a bible-text with ConTeXt. The header should print the first and the last verse on that particular page. I used the commands \marking to mark the verses and \getmarking to setup the headers as shown in the excerpt below. This works correctly with a single column layout, but not in a two column layout. The last verse printed in the headers is not the correct one, the first or the second on the following page is given. Is there a work around for this problem? Many thanks in advance for helpful hints Yours sincerely Tobias Hilbricht ---------------- % Kopie von nova-vulgata_vt_genesis.html % zur Weiterbearbeitung mit ConTeXt \mainlanguage[la] \language[la] \setupencoding[default=ec] \usetypescript[berry][ec] \setupheadertexts[{\getmarking[vers][first]} -- {\getmarking[vers][last]}][1.

texexec and TEX
by Michal Kvasnicka 28 Apr '04

28 Apr '04

Good evening. Is there some restriction to Metapost macros when compiled by texexec --mptex? I'd like to compile a file like this: % test input TEX; beginfig(1) z1=(0,1cm); z2=(3cm,1cm); dotlabel.top(btex $z_1$ etex,z1); dotlabel.top(btex $z_2$ etex,z2); draw TEX("$\underbrace{\hbox to "&decimal(xpart(z2)-xpart(z1))&"pt{\hss}}$") shifted z1; endfig; end. But I've got a following error: This is MetaPost, Version 0.641 (Web2C 7.3.1) (TEXuse.mp (/usr/share/texmf/metapost/base/TEX.mp) (mptextmp.mp >> mptextmp.mp >> mptextmp.mpx ! Unable to make mpx file. l.1 btex $\underbrace{\hbox to 85.03935pt{\hss}}$ etex Transcript written on TEXuse.log. error in metapost run : TEXuse.mp:1 What's wrong? How can I improve it? Many thanks for any hint. M.K. P.S. I use TeXExec 3.3 with Metapost Version 0.641 (Web2C 7.3.1) under Linux (teTeX).

Font/UTF-8 input question
by Tobias Burnus 28 Apr '04

28 Apr '04

Hello, I'd like to use a Unicode font such as Linux Libertine [1]. Besides things which should happen "automatically" like ligatures, I want to enter all characters directly in the UTF-8 file (including those wierd characters). I remember that there is some UTF-8 support in ConTeXt, but I don't remember the details. Is it possible to simply enter a character such as U+FB02 or do I have first to adapt both the input encoding and the font encoding files? Tobias [1] http://linuxlibertine.sourceforge.net/ I think this is (at least for some documents) a rather nice font. It contains ~412 characters, including those required by MES-1 (Multilinual European Subset <http://www.evertype.com/standards/iso10646/pdf/cwa13873.pdf> No. 1 [2]) and is available in normal and italic (unfortunally no bold or small caps, yet). Note that this font still requires some polishing, but the nice thing is that the author reacts rather fast to feature requests (though I probably redeemed all my free vouchers for a few IPA characters ;).

Table of Contents spacing.
by John Culleton 27 Apr '04

27 Apr '04

I want the Table of Contenst entries at normal (single) spacing but they are occurring with white space between the lines. Here is my code to date: \setuplist[chapter][alternative=a,style=bold] \definecombinedlist[content][chapter,section] [level=chapter,criterium=all,before=,after=\null] \setupcombinedlist[content][alternative=a] Probably I have one statement too many, or one parameter too many. Often with Context I get lost in the variations and cannot see the simple solution. -- John Culleton Able Typesetters and Indexers http://wexfordpress.com

Superimposing two flowcharts
by Sytse Knypstra 26 Apr '04

26 Apr '04

Hi all, I would like to make a flowchart in which one shape (FLOWcell) is essentially bigger than the other shapes (in fact it should occupy the space for two ordinary shapes). Now I made two flowcharts; one consists of the one bigger shape, while the other consists of the remaining shapes (of which two are invisible because their shape is defined as `node'). My idea is to put one flowchart on top of the other. Is this possible? And if it is, how should I do this? B.t.w. using `offset=overlay' in \setupFLOWcharts gives a syntax error. Sytse Knypstra

Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals
by viveksharma 22 Apr '04

22 Apr '04

Dear all Has anyone used context to produce articles conforming to Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals (http://www.icmje.org/) If so could you share the setup/layout? I am a newbie who has just begun with the manual and the excellent tex.iso uploaded recently by Hans (Thanks, this version works beautifully!). The latex elsart.cls does something similar but I was wondering with the better capabilities of Context someone had used it for submitting to a biomedical journal. kind regards Vivek

ConTeXt in auctex
by Berend de Boer 20 Apr '04

20 Apr '04

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello All, I've recently moved most of my context.el macro's to the existing ConTeXt support in AUCTEX: http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/ And added new goodies such as selecting an environment from the menu or a setup command. Makes writing ConTeXt even easier for beginners. This is beta quality, it won't destroy your documents, but it might not work perfect either. You need to check out the CVS AUCTEX to give it a try. I'm looking for feedback from users, so comments please. I'm also looking for good suggestions how to specify parameters for ConTeXt macro's within Emacs. We have complete access to a macro's parameter list including allowed values, but I struggle a bit how to make that available in Emacs. Perhaps people here now other packages that solve these problems? It's quite a generic easy: show parameters for a routine and permitted values. - -- Live long and prosper, Berend de Boer (PGP public key: http://www.pobox.com/~berend/berend-public-key.txt) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Processed by Mailcrypt 3.5.8 <http://mailcrypt.sourceforge.net/> iD8DBQFAgHCZIyuuaiRyjTYRAqFwAJ9FQLrCPFjMsuUTBrymt3eA5ub8bACgzaCM Rq5RxmuUdm0dKUNAhZaAKGs= =2i0R -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
