fillinfield

Dear ConTeXt users, I just started to try \fillinfield as described in the up-todate manual 1998/1. For some names it worked properly, but for my own name it didn't. (ConTeXt ver: 2002.8.23 fmt: 2002.11.25 int: dutch mes: dutch) Here is the example: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \steluitvoerin[pdftex] \stelinteractiein [status=start] \starttekst Mijn naam is: \invulveld{Sytse} Zijn naam is: \invulveld{Wytse} \stoptekst %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Sytse Knypstra

Also, I've noticed odd kerning with apostrophes, in both Jenson Pro and, it seems, in your sample on page 1 where the word "Adobe's" looks quite odd. Any ideas what's going on with that? A mistake in the metric files? And how would this be corrected; go into the kerning pairs and adjust them for this glyph? Bruce

Bill or Achim could define their own hanging preferences in their own fonthandling in a file that's input. They can then do a mass find/replace of "handling=pure" and put their own named font handling in. Cheers, adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

Font h__ revisited.
by John Culleton 08 May '03

08 May '03

No virtuous deed goes unpunished. I have been using old-fashioned \font commands with Context because the other was just too confusing. But I htought it was time to ger religion. So I copied the following pretty much verbatim from a manual: \definefontsynonym [Serif] [Palatino] \definefontsynonym [Palatino][uplr8r] [encoding=default] \definebodyfont [14.4pt] [rm] [tf=Serif sa 1] ... \switchtobodyfont[14.4pt] ...and I get Computer Modern according to Acrobat Reader. ---------------------------------- But when I use this: \font\rm=uplr8r at 12pt \font\bf=uplb8r at 14.4pt \font\bs=uplbo8r at 17.3pt \rm I get the font I want where I want it. --------------------------------------------------- So what am I messing up in the first example?

Hello, I compile a document with texexec --pdf --mode=<somemode> ..., and I want to access whatever is specified for <somemode> in the document as literal text. So if I run texexec --pdf --mode=screen ... I want something like "this document was processed in screen mode" to show up in the text. How can this be done? -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ Bitte lächeln! Fotogalerie online mit GMX ohne eigene Homepage!

Hi all, I have definitely not been flooded by answers. I am getting the impression that this forum might not have been the best one to ask (i.e. I have a practical problem which has little bearing with implementation aspects / bugs / new features of Context). I have gone through comp.text.tex, but it seems to be heavily oriented towards latex. Would you have any other direction I could go to and get some assistance? Thanks for showing a door (;-)), Emmanuel Thanks Hans. Apologies if the discussion doesn't flow very much, I am writing from down under. In fact, what I would ideally like to do is the following: 1- Define a template with the boxes without any arrows. 2- Write numbered lists describing arrows that would be generated on top of the template. The overview might look like the following (with some bogus macro names): % Somewhere in a template file % Template for the boxes: \StartMPTemplate[Boxes] % % ----- ----- ----- % ! ! ! ! ! ! % ! A ! ! B ! ! C ! % ----- ----- ----- % \startFLOWcell \name {a} \location {1,1} \shape {action} \text {\ss A} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \name {b} \location {2,1} \shape {action} \text {\ss B} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \name {c} \location {3,1} \shape {action} \text {\ss C} \stopFLOWcell \StopMPTemplate ------------------------------------------------------------------ % This creates the first chapter \startcomponent Right \Chapter{Every to the right} % Inserts a float with the proper figure and the proper arrows using the difinitions coming afterward \StartMPGraphWithTemplate[Right] \IncludeFLOWchartTemplate[Boxes] \StopMPGraphWithTemplate % Place the float \placefigure [here,force] [fig:chart1] {Chart One} {\framed{\FLOWchart[Right]}} % normal itemised text that will be numbered and will dynamically add tyhe arrows to the figure [Right] \startitemizeWithFLOWchart \arrow[labels=number,from=a,fromside=r,to=b,toside=l] This is the first arrow. \arrow[labels=number,from=b,fromside=r,to=c,toside=l] This is the second arrow. \stopitemizeWithFLOWchart % This is the result % % ----- ----- ----- % ! ! 1 ! ! 2 ! ! % ! A !---->! B !---->! C ! % ! ! ! ! ! ! % ----- ----- ----- % % The text should appear below the float as \startitemize would have done % 1 This is the first arrow. % 2 This is the second arrow. ------------------------------------------------------------------ % This creates the next chapter \startcomponent Left \Chapter{Every to the left} % Inserts a float with the proper figure and the proper arrows using the difinitions coming afterward \StartMPGraphWithTemplate[Left] \IncludeFLOWchartTemplate[Boxes] \StopMPGraphWithTemplate % normal itemised text that will be numbered and will dynamically add tyhe arrows to the figure [Right] \startitemizeWithFLOWchart \arrow[labels=number,from=c,fromside=r,to=a,toside=l] This is the top arrow. \stopitemizeWithFLOWchart % This is the result % !------------------------------ % ! ----- ----- ----- ! % ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! % -->! A ! ! B ! ! C !--! % ! ! ! ! ! ! % ----- ----- ----- % % The idea is that everything is dynamic: - if the template changes, all the graphs get redrawn with the boxes at their new place. The arrows get moved as needed. - if the itemised text is changed (say the 'second arrow' line is written before the 'first arrow'), then on the graph, the arrow from a to b would be numbered 2 and the arrow from b to c would become 1. What I tried is the definition you see at the top for the boxes. Then, to generate the first graph, I would have: --------------------------------------------------- \startFLOWchart[chart] % Inserts template \includeFLOWchart[template][x=1,y=1] % Additional information on top of cell a \startFLOWcell \name {a} \connection [rl] {b} \comment [t] {\ss 1} \stopFLOWcell % Additional information on top of cell b \startFLOWcell \name {b} \connection [rl] {c} \comment [t] {\ss 2} \stopFLOWcell \stopFLOWchart --------------------------------------------------- All I get is the template without any arrows. I thought about trying to generate massive metafun macros. But I want the itemised text to be text and not a graph. Bottom line: is it possible? realistic? I have been using MS Word so far to do that sort of thing. It has been quite tedious to reflect any change in the box structure: 10 charts means 10 charts to re-edit. As a bonus question that should be easier. Is it possible to draw other sorts of arrows: i would like to draw straght line arrows that could follow a diagonal (say go north-east instead of east first then north), or circular arrows like: % % ----- % ! ! % ! !<-- % ----- \ % \ % | % ----- / % ! ! / % ! A !<-- % ----- As usual any help is welcome.

I came, I upgraded, I goofed.
by John Culleton 06 May '03

06 May '03

I was concerned that I may have over time messed with my system too much. So I reloaded the the 2002 version of the TeXLive CDROM. Things worked more or less. Then I was concerned that I should upgrade to the latest Context. So I downloaded cont-en.zip from the site and unzipped it in my /usr/TeX directory. This is a Linux system. Now if I sign on as an ordinary user when I run texexec I get a "file access denied" message. NO clue as to which file is denying access. And when I run texexec as root from a command line, then I get TeXExec 3.2 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2003 executable : pdfetex format : cont-en inputfile : pub output : standard interface : en current mode : none TeX run : 1 This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.14159-1.00b-pretest-20020211-2.1 (Web2C 7.3.7x) entering extended mode (./pub.tex{/usr/TeX/texmf-var/pdftex/config/pdftex.cfg} ConTeXt ver: 2002.5.24 fmt: 2003.5.5 int: english mes: english language : language en is active system : cont-new loaded (/usr/TeX/texmf/tex/context/base/cont-new.tex systems : beware: some patches loaded from cont-new.tex! ) system : cont-old loaded (/usr/TeX/texmf/tex/context/base/cont-old.tex loading : Context Old Macros ) system : cont-fil loaded (/usr/TeX/texmf/tex/context/base/cont-fil.tex loading : Context File Synonyms ) bodyfont : 12pt rm is loaded language : patterns 2:2-en-2 4:2-de-2 5:2-fr-2 6:2-es-2 7:2-it-2 8:2-nl-2 loaded specials : tex,postscript,rokicki loaded system : pub.top loaded (./pub.top) pdftex : needs map file: original-context-symbol.map pdftex : needs map file: pl0-ams-cmr.map pdftex : needs map file: original-vogel-symbol.map specials : loading definition file tpd (/usr/TeX/texmf/tex/context/base/spec-tpd.tex specials : loading definition file fdf (/usr/TeX/texmf/tex/context/base/spec-fdf.tex <unprotect 3> !
