(RSFS) font installation
by Stefan Müller 18 Mar '11

18 Mar '11

Hi, like others before, I tried to get the script alphabet from Ralph Smith's Formal Font to work in MkIV (minimals) and failed. There seems to be only outdated or unclear and unspecific information about where to start with fonts available. Or: there is information everywhere but I can't put it together. I downloaded a rsfs.zip from [1] containing .mf, .pfb, .afm, .pfm files and a .map file. It seems to be a type1 font. The manual [2] states, that a script texfont.pl can do install the font. Mojca said [3] on the mailing list that texfont is not the way to go, so I didn't try to go further in that direction. Do I need .tfm files? If so, how to get them? I put the "rsfs" directory with its subdirs from the .zip to the folder c:\context\tex\texmf-fonts\fonts\data\ as Wolfgang suggested [4] and ran "context --generate". I seems as if this did not install the font, but I have no idea. How can I check this? \definefont[rsfs][file:rsfs*default] \starttext \rsfs ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ \stoptext just gave me the alphabet in default font. Is there a way to ask ConTeXt which fonts (or does ConTeXt "know" typescripts?) it knows? In addition, I tried the example from Hans and Otared at [5] which crashes on my installation (error log appended at the end). I don't know how to proceed here. Hopefully someone from this list can assist me. Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to generate only a table of contents
by Cecil Westerhof 18 Mar '11

18 Mar '11

Is it possible to generate only a TOC? (\completecontent) When creating a document I like to have the 'stakeholders' to have an indication of what is going on. For this a TOC is enough. I could create the document and cut out the TOC, but it would be simpler if that could be auto generated. -- Cecil Westerhof

Boekplan books
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 17 Mar '11

17 Mar '11

Hello, I just received the "Fonts in ConTeXt"; thanks that such publication exists. One suggestion: - Wouldn't be good to offer both grey scale and coloured version of the book? The coloured version would be more expensive, indeed. But one would have a choice; and Hans and Taco's documents are very nice in choice of colours, too (I mean especially the documents which are freely available for download), and one may find the coloured version more "readable" or synoptic; and thus preferred. (The coloured cover can exude vision that the whole [printed] document will be coloured, which may not be true.) Best regards, Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.

At the moment I use for my ebook: \usetypescript[palatino][texnansi] \setupbodyfont[palatino,rm,12pt] Does not look to bad, but layout is not my forte. So if people have tips about the fonts to use, I like to hear them. Do you use other fonts when using a printed book? -- Cecil Westerhof

Ctx running once?
by Procházka Lukáš 16 Mar '11

16 Mar '11

Hello, is there a possibility how to let Ctx run just once, not three times (as usually), keeping in mind that TOC and/or page numbers may be wrong, just to check correctness of the document? - I have a longer document with enough MP code and I'm interested often just whether there is no error in the Ctx/MP code, so in this case a successful (= the first) run of Ctx is enough for me for that moment. - So is there a switch, e.g. "context.exe --err-check" or "context.exe --once" or something like this? Best regards, Lukas

Changes for setuptex
by Cecil Westerhof 15 Mar '11

15 Mar '11

To make the shell script setuptex more robust I would add at the beginning: set -o errexit set -o nounset function isVarSet() { if [[ ${#} -ne 1 ]] ; then fatal "${FUNCNAME} <VARIABLE-NAME>" return fi declare -p ${1} &>/dev/null return } And use: if ! isVarSet PS1 ; then instead of: if [ "x$PS1" != "x" ] ; then I use in my script that calls setuptex set -o errexit set -o nounset and that breaks the script. With my change there is no problem. -- Cecil Westerhof

BASH script for installing minimals

Installing minimals is sometimes a problem. Because of this I wrote a BASH script to automate it. Attached is the script I wrote to easily install the minimals. It installs in ${HOME}/ConTeXt but because I work with DRY it is easily changed. It generate almost no output: 20:47:01: fetch script 20:47:02: first setup 20:53:23: generate MKII 20:54:07: generate XeTeX 20:54:49: generate MKIV 20:55:18: Installing/updating ConTeXt took 497 seconds 20:55:18: before using ConTeXt you have to run: '. /home/cecil/ConTeXt/tex/setuptex' But the output can be found in ${HOME}/ConTeXt/install.log if needed. -- Cecil Westerhof

Is Minimals ready for non-developers to use? (Tom)
by Tom 14 Mar '11

14 Mar '11

Thank you for explaining this, Mojca. Knowing that it will be fixed sometime before September gives me hope. In the meantime, I think I have a workaround that, although awkward, will create a correct PDF. What I will do is create a PDF that is correct except for the TOC that Context generates, create a correct TOC PDF with another tool, then create a new PDF with the good pages from the original PDF and the bad TOC replaced by the good one. Is there a list of known bugs somewhere? That would eliminate a lot of frustration and your having to deal with problems that are already being handled. Is it possible for one to create a new font style? For example, if I have a need for two different sanserif fonts (Iwona and Helvetica for the sake of argument) to be used sporadically throughout a document. It would be nice to be able to do something like \ss1 to select the first one and \ss2 to select the second one. \ss to select the first one and \aa (or two other letters) to select the other.

When minimals were created, a new "stable" version was released approximately once a week. It used to be a problem to get the beta version working since beta often depended on a new version of luatex (which was also released every two/three weeks, but often not synchronized with ConTeXt releases). Now Hans only releases a stable version twice a year or so. The problem is that minimals have not been designed with that in mind and there is only a single version of texmfcnf.lua and only a single version of luatex binary. Consequently minimals can only work either with beta or with current when the two versions diverge, but not with both and beta has priority. I need to change the way the distribution works entirely, from the grounds up (I have many parts ready, but not ready to publish yet). An easy solution would be to create another mirror and only provide a working current version there. > I guess they mean a stable version of MKII. > I had the same experience that you had with the Introduction not showing up > in the TOC. Do you know how to report a bug? You don't need to report it. I'm aware of that flaw. I could do a temporary fix, but I would prefer to fix it properly. I'm sorry that it alredy took me several years to address those issues, but I promise to fix it before the conference. Properly. You also need to keep in mind that even though it is advertized as stable, bugs won't be fixed (many project often have at least two branches of development - one for fixing the released version and one for real development; the released version should get bugfixes, but in context development that doesn't and won't happen unless some volunteer starts carefully checking the new code and only applies bugfixes to the stable version). So most people that use ConTeXt actively need bugfixes very often and the only way to get the bugs fixed is to use the latest version. Well, latest version comes with its own bugs, but at least you have a chance to get them fixed quickly. Mojca

Using bookmarks

I am using: \placebookmarks[part,chapter,section][part,chapter] \setupinteractionscreen[option=bookmark] When I have the PDF file displayed fill window width and I click on a section. The page where this section is on, is displayed in full page. I would prefer the zoom level would stay the same and the start of the section would be displayed at the top of the page. Is this possible? -- Cecil Westerhof

I strongly agree that sample set-up code (ideally well-commented so that it also serves as a tutorial of sorts) to reproduce the style of LaTeX would be helpful. The appearance of LaTeX documents isn't perfect but it produces reasonably high-quality results suitable for complex technical documents right out of the box of the box without any tweaking, whereas ConTeXt requires (at least it did for me) some trouble to set it up for the first time. To some extent this is not because of the merit of the LaTeX design itself but the fact that it is familiar and therefore highly readable to someone used to reading it. It is also the point of departure for a LaTeX user wanting to convert to using ConTeXt; hence, i would imagine many such people would prefer to tweak a LaTeX-like document appearance to better suit their needs rather than starting with something quite different. Certainly, this was the case for me; being basically satisfied with my LaTeX documents but wanting more control and the option to use the advanced features of ConTeXt. Having sample set-up code that emulated LaTeX would have eased the initial transition for me.

Putting citations in an e-book
by Cecil Westerhof 14 Mar '11

14 Mar '11

I am making my first e-book. And am now seriously using ConTeXt. But I have a lot to learn. In my ebook I want to use citations. In two different way. For starters I want to let every chapter start with a citation. At the moment I think that this does not need to be fancy. Just a little bigger font and a different color and white-space after it. But if there is a better way, I do not mind to hear it. The trickier part is in the text itself. I would like to use citations near the text itself. For example: when I write that you need to set goals to fulfill your potential, I like to have nearby the citation from Abraham Lincoln: 'A goal properly set is halfway reached'. I have this seen done in several way: with and without a surrounding box. With and without flowing text, etc. What is the best way to do this? On one side concerning the medium. (I think that an e-book asks for something else as a normal book.) On the other side concerning the best way to implement it in ConTeXt. -- Cecil Westerhof

hanging on missing picture

writing physical quantities in maths mode

Morning all, I have a need to write a lot of physical quantities - these should be in text mode. Mostly I can manage, but subscripts are causing me grief Eg \startformula \startmathalignment[n=3] \NC \text{F}\NC =\NC {\text{GMm} \over \text r^2}\NR \NC \text {force}_G \NC =\NC {\text{G} \times \text m_1 \times \text m_2 \over \text r^2}\NR \NC \text {force \low G} \NC =\NC {\text{G} \times \text m_1 \times \text m_2 \over \text r^2}\NR \stopmathalignment \stopformula In the second and third equantions I'd like force subscript G all in roman, not italic, to follow the standard conventin. The first one puts the G in the correct place, but in italic The second one manages roman, but it's offset. I suspect I could kludge this with hskips, but I think there should be a more elegant solution. If there is a paper on writing physics in ConTEXt (not maths... I have found the helpful couple by Aditya Mahajan) that would save me time. For most relationships I am planning to use predefine quantities, then slot these in Like this in the header \define \forceQA {{\sl F}/\Newton} \define \forceQU {{\tf force}/{\tf newton}} \define \forceQ {{\tf force}} (etc) And this in the body \startformula {\forceQA \over \massQA} = \accelerationQA \stopformula \startformula {\forceQU \over \massQU} = \accelerationQU \stopformula \startformula {\forceQ \over \massQ} = \accelerationQ \stopformula Any more elegant solutions out there?

Hi, please run the minimal example attached: --on page 1 there is section "1.1 one" and you get the header entry "1.1 one" - on page 3 there is still section "1.1 one" and you get the header entry "1.2 one" (<- ?!) - on page 5 there is section "1.2 two" and you get the header entry "1.2 two" you see the problem? the "getmarking" behaves correctly (one/one/two) while the "headnumber" is confused (1.1/1.2/1.2))! Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

\startsetups amd \startJSpreamble
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 10 Mar '11

10 Mar '11

Hello, just to confirm - the role of the text after \start*: \startsetups thumbs - on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Thumb_index and \startJSpreamble MyStuff used later - in the last mails between Vedran and Hans. Do I understand well that "thumbs" and "MyStuff used later" in both cases are names of the setups and are reffered later by these names? I fell a bit confused as normally such names are enclosed in brackets; thus I'd rather expect syntax like: \startsetups[thumbs] ... \stopsetups and \startJSpreamble[MyStuff used later] ... \stopJSpreamble Kind regards, Lukas -- Ing.

Compile script
by Cecil Westerhof 10 Mar '11

10 Mar '11

I have been asking a lot of questions lately and getting very speedy replies. Time to give something back. ;-} I attached a script I made to easily compile ConTeXt files in the current directory. Default it looks if there are tex files where there is no pdf file, or the pdf file is older. Those are compiled. It is possible that a tex file has not changed, but a file that it depends on has. That is why there is the parameter --all. When this is given, all tex files are compiled. I hope it is useful to someone. -- Cecil Westerhof

Style of header text
by Milton Galo Patricio Inostroza Aguilera 09 Mar '11

09 Mar '11

Hi, I'm trying to setup the style of the header text in this way: \setupcolors[state=start,system=rgb] \definecolor[Darkred][r=0.5,g=0.0,b=0.0] \definehead[MyChapter][chapter] \setuphead[MyChapter][ after=\blank, number=no, continue=no, textcolor=Darkred, style=\ss\tfc ] \starttext \MyChapter{Introduccion} \MyChapter{Final} \stoptext It work's fine. I want that when exist a pagebreak, the system shows the name of the chapter in the new page. For that, I define a custom pagebreak like this: \definepagebreak [mychapterpagebreak] [yes,header] and set in MyChapter's header the attribute page=mychapterpagebreak. The system shows the name of the chapter, but I want to setup its style (color, fontstyle, size, etc)...is it possible?. Regards, -- Milton

Full example of font setup
by mathew 09 Mar '11

09 Mar '11

Hi. I recently returned to TeX after a 20 year absence, and decided ConTeXt was the best choice of package for a modern TeX environment. I've been reading through the wiki pages, manuals, and drafts of new manual chapters, trying to put together a full example of setting up a complete set of fonts for a document. My heavily commented example is at http://pastebin.tlhiv.org/DQcygbld I'd appreciate any comments and corrections, as I'd like to try and make sure my understanding is correct before I publish the example anywhere. Thanks, mathew

table assignment in the context lua code
by Ulrike Fischer 09 Mar '11

09 Mar '11

font-dum.lua contains the following code snippet: local reencodings = { } fonts.enc.reencodings = reencodings local function specialreencode(tfmdata,value) local encoding = value and reencodings[value] .... end 1. Why is the assignment fonts.enc.reencodings = reencodings and not the other way round? Similar definitions in the same file use more "logical" looking assignments like e.g. "local setups = fonts.protrusions.setups" 2. How does it work? Why is the local table variable "reencodings" in the function specialreencode able to retrieve values stored later in fonts.enc.reencodings? -- Ulrike Fischer

MnSymbol in ConText
by C. 08 Mar '11

08 Mar '11

Hello List, hello Wolfgang, I was google-ing how to use MnSymbol with context an (only) found an old mail from late '09 where you said you'd have to figure out how to use the greek letters from the text font. Any progress on that? Is there any way to use MnSymbol in context? If not, does someone know a decent alternative? And why does it work in Latex? Please tell me it's possible, I don't want to go back to Latex, context is much cooler. Greetings Christian

header text for each page of a chapter
by Milton Galo Patricio Inostroza Aguilera 07 Mar '11

Hi, I need that the name of a chapter appears in each page that belongs of it. For that, I use the following code: \definepagebreak [mychapterpagebreak] [yes,header] \setuphead [chapter] [page=mychapterpagebreak, placehead=no] \setupheadertexts[][chapter] \starttext \chapter{Tarjetas} \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte } \chapter{Linea de credito} \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte } \stoptext This approach works perfectly, but I can't customize the text that contains the name of the chapter. I would like to show the name of the chapter with this code: \startnarrower[3*right] \crlf {\tfd \rightaligned{ CHAPTER_NAME }} \stopnarrower Why I'm doing that?... because I have a lot of framed and I want when they are send to the next page the document shows the name of the chapter that they belong (or the name of the current chapter). am I right with my approach?

Layers for absolute positioning
by Curiouslearn 07 Mar '11

07 Mar '11

Hi, I have been trying to learn the best way to position text on a page. >From the messages it appears that a good way to do so, is to use layers. But it seems that to activate them I need to set them as background of the page. However, that removes the background color. How can I get both layers and a background color? I have given a minimal example below. Thanks, Bharat This is the minimal example I am working with: \setupcolors[state=start] \setupcolor[xwi] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=color, backgroundcolor=linen] \starttext \definelayer [windows] [x=3in, y=3in, width=3in, height=4in] \setlayer [windows] [hoffset=1cm, voffset=1cm] {Windows 7} \setupbackgrounds[page][background=windows] \page[empty] \stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] font name has a space.
by Jeong Dalyoung 07 Mar '11

Dear Taco, Thank you for your comment. I renamed the font to ~.ttf, luatools --generate first. And try the same file. At this time, there is no "Fatal error messages", but still it doesn't locate the font file. So, I tested a few more things. Test 1: luatools locates all the fonts which has no space from the same font maker. And, LuaTeX runs well to yield fine output. Math-iMac:~ graph$ luatools 산돌돌CB.otf /Users/graph/Library/Fonts/산돌돌CB.otf Math-iMac:~ graph$ luatools 산돌명조B.otf /Users/graph/Library/Fonts/산돌명조B.otf ####### Test 2: luatools cannot locate the fonts which has space from the same font maker. Math-iMac:~ graph$ luatools 산돌명조M.otf Math-iMac:~ graph$ luatools 산돌명조 M.otf Math-iMac:~ graph$ luatools 산돌명조\space M.otf But it locates the same file if I enclose "font name". Math-iMac:~ graph$ luatools "산돌명조 M.otf" /Users/graph/Library/Fonts/산돌명조 M.otf So I tired \definefont[testfont][file:"산돌명조 M.otf"], but LuaTeX issue an error system > begin file testmp.tex at line 29 ! LuaTeX error <main ctx instance>:1: ')' expected near '?'. system > tex > error on line 30 in file testmp.tex: LuaTeX error ... 25 26 \definefont[testfont][file:"산돌명조 M.otf"] 27 28 29 \starttext 30 >> \testfont 31 \chapter{X} 32 \section{One} 33 \dorecurse{10}{test fone file. } 34 \dorecurse{10}{산 돌 명조 폰트 file입니다. } 35 36 \stoptext \lowleveldefinefont ...ies ", "\@@fontgoodies " )} \edef \somefontspec {at \n... \dododefinefont ...inefont {#2}\rawfontidentifier \csname \rawfontidentifier... l.30 \testfont ? I tested english font which has a space in its name and got the same results. For example, "Geogia Bold.ttf" font. luatools cannot locate it and LuaTeX said "unknown font." and used default font. I renamed it GeogiaBold.ttf in /Library/fonts and tried again, but not succeed. Hence, I think that the font whose name contains no space has no problem. The fonts whose name contains a space make a trouble eventhough I removed the space from it. Am I doing right? I am using Mac OSX. And, This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.65.0-2010121316 \write18 enabled. (testmp.tex ConTeXt ver: 2011.02.25 22:03 MKIV fmt: 2011.3.1 int: english/english Thank you again. Best regards, Dalyoung

One-off theorem titles
by S Barmeier 06 Mar '11

06 Mar '11

Currently I am using something like \defineenumeration[lemma] [location=serried, headstyle=bold, text=Lemma, width=broad, style=italic] to define theorems, lemmas, etc. Sometimes a theorem or lemma will have its own name (e.g. Yoneda Lemma), and I find it slightly cumbersome to write something like 3.1 Theorem (Yoneda Lemma) 3.1 Lemma (Yoneda) 3.1 Lemma (Yoneda Lemma) and was really hoping that \startlemma[text={Yoneda Lemma}] would give me the desired 3.1 Yoneda Lemma but it doesn't. I would like to keep the whole setup the same and only change the text for this instance. Is there any way to implement this except for defining a whole new enumeration for one theorem/lemma/proposition by \startenumeration[text={Yoneda Lemma},location= ... ] Thank you. Severin

Left and centered text on the same line
by C. 06 Mar '11

06 Mar '11

Good evening, How can I place left aligned and centered text on one line? So that the centered text is in the same place as with \startaligned[middle] I experimented with the following code: \startalignment[middle] I'm centered % this serves as a reference, its right in the middle of the paper \stopalignment % now to the tricky part \starttabulate[|lw(\dimexpr 0.5\textwidth\relax)|c|] \NC I'm left \NC I'm centered \NC \NR \NC I'm also left \NC I'm also centered \NC \NR \stoptabulate I tried various versions with the dimensions, subtracting \leftmarginwidth and what not. to no avail. The tabulate solution is always a tad off. What am I missing here? -Christian

xml - handling of figures
by R. Ermers, Midden Oosten Perspectief 06 Mar '11

06 Mar '11

Dear all, I converted a latex file to xml docbook by means of pandoc. In intend to process the file with context. The first results are very promising. I have some questions on processing graphics. The source file looks like this: <inlinemediaobject> <imageobject> <imagedata fileref="plaatje1.jpg" scale="1.2"/> </imageobject> </inlinemediaobject> <inlinemediaobject> <imageobject> <imagedata fileref="plaatje1.jpg" width="30mm" height="25mm"/> </imageobject> <caption><para>caption to this wonderful cow<para></caption> </inlinemediaobject> <inlinemediaobject> <imageobject> <imagedata fileref="plaatje1.jpg" width="30mm" height="25mm"/> </imageobject> </inlinemediaobject> (see also http://www.docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/imageobject.html) I defined the setups as follows: \startxmlsetups xml:inlinemediaobject:imageobject:imagedata \placeedgefigure{}{\framed[frame=off]{\setlayer[graphics]{\externalfigure[\xmlatt{#1}{fileref}]}}} \stopxmlsetups Context places the figures nicely in the file. So far so good! Now I would like to use: 1. the scaling information in the scale attribute 2. in some instances the image is not scaled, but needs to be enlarged according to a fixed height and width. 3. I would like to print the caption. I looked into Hans' documents on xml, but the examples are different from those that I have. At least, I seem not to understand them. Does anyone have an advice?

vertical alignment in simpleslides
by Curiouslearn 06 Mar '11

06 Mar '11

Hi Today I started making lecture slides for one of my classes and decided to try out simpleslides. First of all, thanks to Thomas and Aditya for writing the module. I had a question regarding vertical alignment. Consider the following minimal example: \usemodule[simpleslides][style=Swoosh] \starttext \SlideTitle{Context can be used for \dots} \startitemize[n] \item Writing your articles \item Making slides for presentations \stopitemize \stoptext The two items appear at the top of the slide. Is there a command or a setting such that items will be aligned around the center of the screen? Thank you for your help. Bharat

I think I found a bug in \at
by Cecil Westerhof 06 Mar '11

I have the folowing code: \setuplanguage[nl][ lefthyphenmin=5, righthyphenmin=4, ] \mainlanguage[nl] \language[nl] \enableregime[utf] \starttext Alleen een test om te laten zien dat de verwijzing naar \at{page}[test] niet goed gaat. \reference[test]{} \stoptext I would expect that \at{page}[test] gives: pagina 1 but it gives: page 1 Is it a bug, or am I doing something wrong? -- Cecil Westerhof
