Is this the way it should? yes, since the index should precede the word it refers to and not get decoupled (i.e. a page break in between); an \index command will even hook into the next paragraph if needed Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma(a)wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Margin rules
by Victor Figurnov 18 Mar '03

18 Mar '03

Hello, Hans! One year ago you and Giuseppe Bilotta talked about margin rules: GB>> You can set the level, but you cannot customize its GB>> color/position/etc, which is what I was talking about. HH> i can easily implement that (with cross page support and so), HH> but definitely not today; so put it on the wish list and HH> ask me again later Let me remind you of this topic, it is very necessary for me too. Or, may be, there is another way to draw vertical lines at left of some paragraphs with possibility of crossing page boundaries? Victor Figurnov

Formula numbering and counter
by PIERRE LEDEVEDEC 17 Mar '03

17 Mar '03

Hi, I would like to change the numbering of several formulae as follows: <mathematical expression> (1.1) <mathematical expression> (1.2a) % here is <mathematical expression> (1.2b) % the problem <mathematical expression> (1.3) I don't know how to access the formula counter for the English interface of ConTeXt. (I only know that it is \formulenummer for the Dutch one.) Also, how do you control the counter incrementation to produce (1.2a), (1.2b) and the jump to (1.3) as automatic as possible ? (I know that I have to use \eqalignno and &(<macroformulanumber>) for the generation of the number.) Thank you in advance for your answers. Regards, Pierre.

texexec not finding cont-en
by Gary 17 Mar '03

17 Mar '03

I know this has been asked before, but I'm not getting it. I'm installing ConTeXt on Linux (Mandrake 9.0) with teTeX. I've installed the default teTeX distribution that comes with Mandrake. I've installed the latest ConTeXt beta I've edited texexec.ini, commenting out the reference to l:/... I've edited ... what was it ... fmtedit?? darn, can't remember, but I uncommented two lines that refer to cont-en and cont-nl I've run texhash texexec --make en nl texhash I've added to PATH: /usr/share/texmf /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/config I've made cont-en.tex and cont-en.ini executable so far, so good. But texexec --pdf filename.tex returns with sh: line 1: cont-en: command not found so cont-en is either not on the path or not executable, right? Please be explicit: are we talking about cont-en.tex, cont-en.ini, or cont-en.tws? Where is the usual place to put it? When adding to path, is the shell environment PATH variable what's meant? or is there some way within ConTeXt to set a path? What else could be wrong? Gary

Hello, just got 2003.03.17 and found a small bug: the "auto" keyword is put among constants, while it should go among variables ... -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

Crash in landscape mode [MikTeX]
by Peter Rolf 17 Mar '03

17 Mar '03

If you use MikTeX and the 1.10b version of pdfetex, please try this out. If not, you are free to skip or read on :) I don't know why, but this simple piece of ConTeXt-code crashes with the version 1.10b of pdfetex. I use the lastest MikTeX version and the latest ConTeXt beta (13.03). The source worked fine with older versions of pdfetex and ConTeXt releases. All it does is placing two external A4-PDF's on a single landscaped A4 page. As an unregistered (private) user of MikTeX it seems my mail to their support got lost... I included all necessary files and the log-file. Peter

Concrete and Euler
by Emil Hedevang Lohse 17 Mar '03

17 Mar '03

Hello, Is there an easy way to make ConTeXt use the Concrete Computer Modern font for normal text and the AMS Euler font for math -- like in Knuth's book "Concrete Mathematics"? -- Emil Hedevang Lohse <http://home.imf.au.dk/emil/> Alle spørgsmål er lige dumme. Og spørgsmålet "Kan ænder flyve?" er ikke dumt.
