PDF Metadata / Attachments
by Pascal de Bruijn 07 Aug '07

07 Aug '07

Hi, With LaTeX I was able to set my own PDF metadata, is this possible with ConTeXt? I mean things like: Title, Subject, Author, Keywords, Creator, Producer? Also, I generally like to include my .tex source file into my PDF as a text file attachment. LaTeX has a package for this, does ConTeXt have similar functionality?

Background image
by Pascal de Bruijn 07 Aug '07

07 Aug '07

Hi, I'm trying to layout a book for Lulu.com. I'm working with a 9"x6" paper size, which is going to be printed on 9.25"x6.25" stock paper to enable full bleed printing. I have managed to get a background image using a background layer. However, I don't seem to be able to get it to the right size. Sample files: http://area42.pcode.nl/context/ In the PDF you can see, that I'm stuck with a white edge. I need the background picture to fill my entire page with no white left. I also need to crop marks to remain on top of the background image. The supplied background image has the same height/width ratio as the stock page. However I would like TeX to stretch the ratio if necessary. I'd appreciate any suggestion on how to achieve this. Regards, Pascal de Bruijn -- http://blog.pcode.nl/ http://www.linkselente.nl/

Because there were map-files for conTeXt at the gyre-site and a typescript with ConTeXt, I thought I just have to copy everything to the right place. But obviously the gyre-map-files don't fit with the type-gyr script. On the other site, installing the fonts with texfont works, but I don't have found the trick to install the small caps variant, and the naming is not yet the same as in type-gyr (I have to experiment a bit with this!) But I like to know, what I else have to do when installing these fonts manuelly. Wolfgang

Presentation style problem
by Matthias Weber 06 Aug '07

06 Aug '07

Hello, I've been using the "green" presentation style aka s-pre-02 in a few presentations. When I typeset these now, using ConTeXt ver: 2007.04.17 12:51 MKII fmt: 2007.5.18 int: english/english, (or LiveConTeXt as of today), the text runs right up to the green rectangle, leaving no margin (left, right, top, bottom). I have fiddled with various options of \setuplayout to not much avail, curiously repeated typesetting gives different results (which stabilize after the second pass). I am once again looking for the right incantation to get the text back nicely into its frame. Thanks, Matthias \usemodule[pre-green] %\setuplayout[leftmargin=.5cm,rightmargin=.5cm] \starttext \TitlePage{Title Page\\pre-green} \Topics{Some Nice Quotes} \Topic{A Few} \Subject{Knuth} \input knuth \Subject{Tufte} \input tufte \Topic{Some More} \Subject{Zapf} \input zapf \Subject{Bryson} \input bryson \stoptext

adventor
by Wolfgang Werners-Lucchini 03 Aug '07

03 Aug '07

Hallo, I have some problems useing the font adventor from gyre project. After downloading the fonts and the context map-files from the gyre- site, I tried the following: \usetypescriptfile[type-gyr] \definetypeface[adventor][ss][sans][adventor][default][encoding=ec] \setupbodyfont[adventor,ss,9pt] \starttext \ss Bla \stoptext but I get ! Font \*adventor12ptsstfss*:=TeXGyreAdventor-Regular at 12.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found. After that I looked into the type-gyr typescript and found \loadmapfile[ q\typescriptprefix{f:\typescripttwo}-\typescriptthree.map] but the map-file is ec-qag.map! So I changed that to \loadmapfile[ \typescriptthree-q\typescriptprefix{f:\typescripttwo}.map] But the errormessage was exactly the same as befor. The map-file is found: > kpsewhich ec-qag.map kpsewhich ec-qag.map e:/context/tex/texmf-project/fonts/map/pdftex/context/ec-qag.map So I need some tips! Btw.: Why are there TWO \loadmapfile entrys in type-gyr? One in \starttypescript[serif]... \loadmapfile[q\typescriptprefix{f:\typescripttwo}- \typescriptthree.map] the other in \starttypescript[map][pagella,termes,bonum,schola,heros,adventor] [all] \loadmapfile[q\typescriptprefix{f:\typescripttwo}- \typescriptthree.map] \stoptypescript Are they both necessary? If so, what's the difference? Wolfgang

A WinEdt problem ?
by Dejan Djokic 03 Aug '07

03 Aug '07

Dear Mr. Arnold, I am using a WinEdt-driver to run my Tex-files, but in no case I can run any Metafont-file to create, say, labels in my Feynman diagrams. In fact I can draw the diagrams getting them in a stored Dvi-file, but on the other hand, I fail to do it as regards the font-label therein. The author of the Feynman package suggests me to run the related Metafont-file in my WinEdt-driver. However both, him as well as me, really have no idea in what way that could be done at all. Looking forward to your helpful reply, Dejan Djokic from Belgrade ----------------- Institute of Physics, Belgrade http://www.phy.bg.ac.yu/

Re: [NTG-context] extra math symbols and alignment
by WN 03 Aug '07

03 Aug '07

Hi Aditya Basically I want to include the RSFS font and some user defined symbols from txexa as explained in my previous email. I did some testing with the test code which I send and found the cause of the problem, however no solution yet. The cause of the problem lies in the line where I say \definetypeface[MyFace] [mm] [math] [modern] *[modern] *[encoding=ec] This will enable the user defined symbols and all the math symbols as shown via \showmathcharacters are correct. However all the matrix, mathmatrix environments don't adhere to the aligment I specify except for the first option i.e. when I say \startmatrix[align={right, etc .... }] everything is aligned to the right but the other aligment options are ignored. When I substitute *[modern]* with *[default] *as in \definetypeface[MyFace] [mm] [math] [modern] *[default] *[encoding=ec] In this instance all the aligment as specified in the matrix, mathmatrix environments work. However some of the math symbols like \Delta are incorrect. And my user defined symbols are also incorrect. Hope you can find a solution. Kind regards Wim

Detail on footnote placement (vertical, page)
by Steffen Wolfrum 03 Aug '07

03 Aug '07

Hi, if, at the last page of a chapter, there is only little text (e.g. 10% of text-height) is it then possible to attach the footnote-rule and the footnote-text directly under the text (but only this page – the other pages should place the footnote-text flush-bottom) in order to avoid a huge empty white space between body-text and footnote-text?

XeTeX typescripts in ver: 2007.07.24
by Michael Green 02 Aug '07

02 Aug '07

In ver: 2007.01.12, a typescript like this works fine: \starttypescript[serif][minion][uc] \definefontsynonym [MinionRegular] ['Minion Pro:mapping=tex-text; +onum;'] [encoding=uc] \stoptypescript We get Minion Pro, mapping TeX markup to unicode characters and old- style numbers. This seems not to work in ver: 2007.07.24: the font can't be found (I'll put a bit of the log file at the end). However, everything is fine when the typescript is changed to read like this. \starttypescript[serif][minion][uc] \definefontsynonym [MinionRegular] ['Minion Pro'] [encoding=uc] \stoptypescript Here's what looks to me to be the relevant part of the log. systems : begin file article at line 1 (/Users/michaelgreen/Library/texmf/tex/context/article.tex (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/type-exa.tex) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/type-syn.tex) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/type-enc.tex) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/type-siz.tex) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/type-map.tex) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/type-spe.tex) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/type-akb.tex) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/type-xtx.tex) (/Users/michaelgreen/Library/texmf/tex/context/myfonts.tex) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/type-exa.tex) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/type-syn.tex) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/type-enc.tex) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/type-siz.tex) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/type-map.tex) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/type-spe.tex) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/type-akb.tex) (/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/type-xtx.tex) (/Users/michaelgreen/Library/texmf/tex/context/myfonts.tex) !

Boxed items don't like sidefloats
by Giuseppe Bilotta 02 Aug '07

02 Aug '07

Hello all, here's a test document: ================ \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \newbox\testbox \starttext \setbox\testbox\vbox{% \placefigure[outer,none,fit]{}{% \framed[width=.2\hsize,height=.2\hsize,offset=none]{}% }% \startitemize \item some test \item \input knuth \item \input tufte \stopitemize } \box\testbox \page \setbox\testbox\vbox{% \placefigure[outer,none,fit]{}{% \framed[width=.2\hsize,height=.2\hsize,offset=none]{}% }% \startitemize \item some test \item \input knuth \item \input tufte \stopitemize } \box\testbox \stoptext ============ As you may notice, items think the placefigure refers to all of them, so that if a particular item is bigger than the figure height, it will wrap correctly around the (inexistent) box, otherwise it will just side it. Interesting, the same thing does *not* happen when not going through a box, but typesetting things directly in the page. However, for my application I need to typeset the sidefloat and the itemization in a box, so I hit the bug ... Suggestions? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

Weird frontmatter behaviour
by Jeff Smith 31 Jul '07

31 Jul '07

Hi all! I have a well-defined project with its products, components and environment file. The structure works and all that, so my problem that I am going to describe below is not there. In my document structure, each product corresponds to one Part. My environment file defines no header whatsoever for the very first page of a Part section (header=high). When a Part is in the frontmatter, the header does not disappear. When the same part is in the bodymatter, it works -- the header is not there. Here is my main project file when I attempt to test exactly that, with only two parts (no need for more at the moment): \startproject These \environment env_these \startfrontmatter \product prod_liminaire \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \product prod_liminaire \product prod_p1 \stopbodymatter \stopproject The product called "prod_liminaire" currently contains my title page only. I do know that doing exactly the above makes no sense, but like I said I did that only to test out the problem. So, when I compile this, prod_liminaire has a header in the frontmatter, but it has NO header in the bodymatter. It's the very same file to the very last byte, only in a different sectionblock. And it behaves differently. What's wrong? I'm really at loss over this. I obviously want no header in the frontmatter Parts, that's where my product prod_liminaire normally goes. Thanks in advance! Any help is appreciated, as always! Jeff Smith

Linetable height (actually, depth) bug

Hello all, as I mentioned in the 'framing a linetable' thread, there is a bug in the stable (march '07) version of ConTeXt concerning the linetable *depth*. Example file: \setupcolors[state=start] \starttext \setuplinetable[r][2][height=30pt,background=color,backgroundcolor=blue] \startlinetable \BR \BC one \EC \BC two \EC \ER \BR \BC three \EC \BC four \EC \ER \stoplinetable more text \stoptext "more text" will appear in the blue area of the second line, instead of after the linetable, because the depth of the table lines are smashed to be one strutdepth in \flushlinetableparts -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

Hallo! Downgrading to gs version 8.11 does NOT help, but downgrading to 8.11 AND changing the makempy methode from pdf to ps helps! gs 8.57 hangs with ps too.

Non-printing macro disturbs line justification.

Unnumbered TOC
by John R. Culleton 25 Jul '07

25 Jul '07

Sections have numbers, subjects etc. don't. What I want is a series of subdividisions (subject, subsubject etc. without visible numbers which nevertheless show up in a chapter table of contents, again without numbers, just page numbers. I tried defining a combined list foo thus: \definelist[subject][alternative=a] \definelist[subsubject][alternative=a] \definelist[subsubsubject][alternative=a] \definecombinedlist[foo] [subject,subsubject,subsubsubject] [level=subsubsubject,criterium=local] but when I state \placelist[foo] ...nothing appears. Should I start all over, replace subjects with sections etc. and then try to suppress the numbering in both places? There is of course an easy answer that I am missing. :<( -- John Culleton

Some minor issus
by Steffen Fritzsche 24 Jul '07

24 Jul '07

Hi everybody, currently I am doing the final layout of my thesis for which I used context. I am now struggeling with two thing, which I think might be minor issus for some of you, but not so for me ;) First, some of my URLs within footnotes are wider as the textwidth. Is there a way to force a line break other than defining break points for each of it? Maybe even with a nice symbol identicating the forced break? Second problem is the formatting of the in text references. it would be nice if there is a way they were not bold. I tried different things with \setupreferencing but the text stayed bold. I could not find something in regards to this topic in the manual or in the wiki. My thrid problem is, how can I force context not to continue footnotes on another page? And a similar thing ... how can I achieve that there are always at least two lines of a paragraph on each page if this paragraph is split between two pages. I tried \clubpenalty and \widowpenalty as well as \def\defaultwidowpenalty and \def\defaultclubpenalty. But I am not really sure what the numbers identicate. I guess not the lines ... Thanks in advance for all answers, once I am finished I am going to add this information to the wiki. Maybe it is already there but I could not find it ... Steffen

factor=fit images don't fit
by Giuseppe Bilotta 24 Jul '07

24 Jul '07

Hello all, I have to place a number of images into some given-size frames in a layer. The images should be scaled proportionally to fit into the frame. The code I'm working with is: \defineframed[framedimg][ frame=on,framecolor=elux, background=color, backgroundcolor=white, width=\wdfig, height=\htfigone, offset=overlay, ] \setlayer[figs][voffset=\nextfigvoff]{% \framedimg{% \externalfigure[#1][ factor=fit, % maxwidth=\wdfig, % maxheight=\htfigone, % frame=on, ]% }% }% where \wdfig, \htfigone are the frame size and \nextfigvoff is the vertical offset which must be placed. I've tried factor=fit, factor=max, but in both cases I get images which cross the boundaries of the frame, mostly in the horizontal direction. If I add the maxwidth/maxheight specification, images don't get scaled at all. I would expect factor=fit to scale the image in such a way that the biggest direction fits into the enclosing box, while factor=max would scale the image in such a way that the smallest direction fits into the enclosing box. Instead, in both cases the vertical direction is being fitted, with no apparent consideration for the horizontal direction. What am I doing wrong and what should I do to fix it? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

strange colorleak in definetyping[XML]
by Hans van der Meer 23 Jul '07

I did encounter 'leaking' color outside the XML verbatim typing. The effect can be turned off and on by removing/placing the ':' in 'file:' in the second xml-line. Is this a bug? It certainly is annoying that the default color is inadvertently changed. A (somewhat) minimal example follows: =================================================================== \setupcolors[state=start] \definecolor [mistyrose] [r=1,g=.894118,b=.882353] % Setup coloring for framed text (unbreakable) blocks. \defineframedtext[framedcode][frame=on,corner=round,rulethickness=2pt, width=\textwidth,color=codecolor,style=\ttxx, background=color,backgroundcolor=mistyrose,framecolor=indianred] % Setup coloring for verbatim code fragments. \definecolor [codecolor] [red] \definecolor [colorprettyone] [codecolor] \definecolor [colorprettytwo] [codecolor] \definecolor [colorprettythree] [codecolor] \definecolor [colorprettyfour] [codecolor] \setuptyping [color=codecolor,palet=colorpretty] % XML typesetting inside framebox with background. \definetyping[XMLBOX][option=XML,style=\ttxx, before={\bgroup\setupinterlinespace[line=2ex]\startframedcode}, after={\stopframedcode\egroup}] \starttext Testing xml typing\crlf \startXMLBOX <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <locationURI>zip:/?file////path/to/a.zip</locationURI> \stopXMLBOX This color is black as it should be. \startXMLBOX <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <locationURI>zip:/?file:////path/to/a.zip</locationURI> \stopXMLBOX This color should be black not \quote{codecolor}!!! \stoptext Hans van der Meer

Re: [NTG-context] \setupheader: leftstyle & rightstyle
by Alex K 23 Jul '07

23 Jul '07

Hi, Hope this isn't hijacking the thread, but I have a quick question related to this and I'd thought I'd post it here instead of starting a whole new topic about something similar. How do you center headers? I know that if you just use one header, it's automatically centered, but if you use alternating headers, they're left/right aligned by default... right? So far I have a two-page spread set up so that the chapter appears on the right header and the title of the text on the left, but neither are centered. Do I use \midaligned, or am I on the wrong track? Thanks. ----- Original Message ---- From: Mojca Miklavec <mojca.miklavec.lists(a)gmail.com> To: mailing list for ConTeXt users <ntg-context(a)ntg.nl> Sent: Sunday, July 22, 2007 7:56:12 AM Subject: Re: [NTG-context] \setupheader: leftstyle & rightstyle On 7/22/07, Matt Gushee wrote: > Hi, all-- > > I would like to use different styles for left and right headers in a > book: I would like to set the left side (which shows the book title) in > small caps, and the right side (chapter title) in italics. > > \setupheader[style=\sc] > > works fine.

Any idea why this is the case? I usually use something like \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided,location=bottom] \setupheadertexts [\sc Book Title][] [][{\it (\getmarking[chapter][current])}] However, there seems to be a little bug. This works perfectly well for section (\getmarking[section]), but for chapter the chapter labels seem to be erased after the first appearance. leftstyle= might also require implementation of - style of the left label on left page - style of the middle label on the left page - style of the right labale on the left page - all the three styles again on the right page, the same 6 for footer Mojca ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context(a)ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________Ready for the edge of your seat?

Hi, I've noticed a few issues with natural tables. 1. Embedding images into tables do not scale correctly using recent ConTeXt releases. They do using the TeXLive 2007 version (2007.01.12). It does not matter whether I use factor=max or fit. I find I need to use the \vbox{\noindent{...}} structure to make the picture obey table's align= setups. test1.tex and weight.eps/pdf demonstrate this behavior. I attached pdf's to show the "good" behavior. 2. Background colors & frames -- bottomframe on a cell is obscured by a background color on the cell below. Similarly, a rightframe is obscured by a backgroundcolor to the cell to the right. test2.tex demonstrates this behavior. 3. Using \chardef\characteralignmentmode=2 widens columns and doesn't quite center the data. It appears as if the decimal is centered, but this does not necessarily center the text. The top row shows tables without setting the alignment mode, the second row of tables show what happens when it is set equal to 2. It would be nice if the left- hand tables looked the same, and the bottom right were centered better. test3.tex demonstrates this. 4. I was wondering if anyone had any pointers on improving performance and reducing memory usage with natural tables. Are there particular options or settings to avoid, and so on? I'm using Perl scripts to generate the ConTeXt code, so tend to output many setupTABLE commands. I have some tables which can take a minute or two to render for one page, and might have a document with 15 pages, so it takes some time. I saw some recent postings regarding linetables; I did not use them initially given they did not seem actively used and natural tables provide all the features I need; but I would be willing to give them a try if I understood what limitations they might have relative to natural tables. Many thanks! Brian

Combining two pages on one, in landscape mode
by Mikael Persson 22 Jul '07

22 Jul '07

Dear list members, the following command: texexec --pdfcombine \ --combination=2*1 \ --paperformat=landscape \ --nobanner \ --result=twoinone.pdf \ file1.pdf file2.pdf used to work to get file1.pdf and file2.pdf in twoinone.pdf with two pages at one, and in landscape mode. However, since installing ConTeXt 20070403 (the minimal version), this no longer works for me. I get the output "texexec: No match." I also get the same error with the ConTeXt coming with texlive on ubuntu feisty. Any ideas of how to solve this? Thanks in advance /Micke P

Several environments in a project?
by nicola 22 Jul '07

22 Jul '07

Hi, I have a project with a few products sharing the same layout, which is specified in a global environment file. Each product is in a separate subdirectory together with its components. Then, I want to put some setups and figure definitions in product-specific environments and I do it like this: \startproduct OneProduct \project MyProject \environment OneProductDir/LocalEnvironment ... The problem is that the local environment is not read when I typeset a particular component, but only when I typeset the whole product. How can I fix that? Nicola

Hallo, I have two problems/questions with the following tables: 1. Should'nt all the columns be .2\textwidth, as in the last table? 2. Why expands column width to \textwidth in the second table?

presentation module
by Thomas A. Schmitz 21 Jul '07

21 Jul '07

Hi all, I have played around a bit and prepared a module to produce presentations with ConTeXt. It is inspired (of course) by Hans's work, but provides less frills and an easier interface; I hope it is especially suited for academic presentations. Before I actually unleash it on the unsuspecting masses, I would be grateful if somebody could test it. It comes with a demo file and some documentation, so all you have to do is run it through ConTeXt; I want to make sure that it'll work on other installations than mine. If you're interested, drop me a line, and I'll send it to you (it's just a zip file of 233 k). All best Thomas

TOC fine-tuning (urgent)
by Steffen Wolfrum 20 Jul '07

20 Jul '07

Hi, at a large project's end (480pages, 10pages TOC) I need to fine-tune content and MyContent (with \writebetweenlist ...). As processing these 1.5 million characters each time takes about 10 minutes, fine-tuning seems to be impossible. What is needed is a way to place the TUO file instead the re- calculated \complete content. Once, Hans kindly send this patch, but I can't make real use of it: \unprotect \def\dodoplacecombinedlist[#1][#2]% {\dobeginoflist \dosetuplist[#1][#2]% \doutilities{listentries,#1}\jobname{#1}\relax\par \doendoflist} \protect just change \jobname to {somename.tuo} I guess when my TUO normally is called test.tuo I should copy it to a testtest.tuo and next, instead of \completecontent I use \placecombinedlist [content][file=testtest] . This works, but takes long too, as again all chapters are processed. So I comment all the \component lines in my project structure in order just to integrate my placecombinedlist[content][file=testtest]. But these pages are empty now. Anyone can help me there? Steffen

Minimal ConTeXt in 64 bits machine
by Maurício 20 Jul '07

20 Jul '07

Hi, Is it possible to install the minimal context distribution in a 64 bits machine? I downloaded 'justtext' and 'linuxtex' zip files, and I see that the environment setup script sets TEXFOS variable to a 64 bits specific directory when it detects a 64 bits machine. However, that directory does not exist in those zip files. Can I get it somewhere else? I'm using Ubuntu 7.04. Thanks, Maurício

\overleftrightarrow
by Jesse Alama 19 Jul '07

19 Jul '07

I'm preparing a geometry course using ConTeXt and am impressed with the system so far. One thing I need is to do is typeset various geometrical symbols. It looks like ConTeXt already has the \overleftarrow and \overrightarrow commands, but one thing I'd like to have is \overleftrightarrow, for typesetting the symbol customarily used to denote the line determined by two points. It seems, though, that this isn't available in ConTeXt, or, at least, it is not available by default. I tried looking on the contextgarden and google, but didn't come across anything. Is the \overleftrightarrow command already available? If not, what can I do so that I can use it? Thanks, Jesse -- Jesse Alama (alama(a)stanford.edu) *65: "thesis" is allowed only inside a proof

Weird Problem
by Alex K 19 Jul '07

19 Jul '07

Hi all, I'm a complete newbie to ConTeXt (aka recent convert from a GUI world and WYSIWYG typesetting), so please forgive my ignorance. :) I'm having some problems typesetting a simple practice document that used to compile fine before. Recently, after modifying part of the text (not the code, which to the best of my knowledge appears correct, since I haven't encountered any errors), I can no longer see the title page, page numbers or headers, and paragraphs don't indent as they used to, when they did before. Again, I didn't change any of the code, at least AFAIK. Is this a bug, or just user error? Do I need to update ConTeXt? If so, how? (if you could, please provide step-by-step directions, as I'm a beginner to the command-line interface as well, I'm afraid). I'm running the Jan 2007 version of ConTeXt bundled with the MacTeX 2007 distribution on Mac OS 10.4.10. I've also provided the sample document for reference, in case that helps. A prompt response would be highly appreciated!

error in textbackground with metapost
by Hans van der Meer 19 Jul '07

19 Jul '07

There must be something badly amiss in the textbackground processing. Below a small example demonstrating the problem. When a block falls badly on a page boundary an error occurs as shown. One may have to tweak the \blank[] in order to get the error depending on local font settings etc. In my case 0.78 shoved the second block to page 2 without an error but from 0.79 onwards the error occurs. At 0.66 the block is split after the third line, but at 0.68 again the error shows. TeX complains as follows. !

TOC, listalternative d, ragged right, interaction
by Daniel Schömer 19 Jul '07

19 Jul '07

Hi, I'm trying to alter the formatting of the table of contents for a document of chapters and sections. After searching the ConTeXt manuals, source and the list archive, I've only four more things I'd like to change. This is where I ask for your help. My current setup (for the table of contents): | \setupinteraction [state=start] | \setuplistalternative [a] [command=\hskip.8em] | \setupcombinedlist [content] [alternative=a, interaction=all, | level=section, partnumber=no] | \setuplist [chapter] [after=\blank, before=\blank, | numberstyle=\tfd, pagestyle=italic, style=\tfa, | width=1.75em] | \setuplist [section] [alternative=d, headnumber=no, | interaction=pagenumber, margin=1.75em, | pagestyle=italic] This produces a table of contents like that: | 1 Chapter One 1 | Section A 1 Section B 2 Section C 3 Sec- | tion D 5 Section E 12 Here are my questions: (2 to 4 are of lower priority for me) 1. How can I setup the toc to get the sections (or listalternative d) to be set ragged right? 2. Is it possible to insert text between the section-pagenumber and the following section-text? (Section A 1 -- Section B 2 -- Section C 3) ^^ ^^ 3. I can't alter the distance between section-text and pagenumber. Changing the command option for listalternative a does it for chapters. But this doesn't work for listalternative d. 4. Can I get interaction=all for listalternative d?. Only interaction=pagenumber produces interaction. If I set interaction to all or text, I don't get interaction for the sections. I'm using ConTeXt 2007.04.17 with pdfTeXk 3.141592-1.40.3 from TeXlive 2007 on Gentoo/Linux. Some kind of a minimal example is attached. Daniel -- Documentation is like sex: when it is good, it is very, very good; and when it is bad, it is better than nothing.

Customizing chapter titles
by Matt Gushee 18 Jul '07

18 Jul '07

Hi, All-- I am attempting to typeset a book in ConTeXt, but I am having some problems with chapter titles: 1) The font I am using for titles is completely different from the body font. I am trying to experiment with a couple of different variants, though. The following works fine: \setuphead [chapter] [ .... style={\switchtobodyfont[CopperplateGothicCondensed, 15pt]}, .... ] However, I may want to set the chapter titles in bold. So I've tried: style={\switchtobodyfont[CopperplateGothicCondensed-Bold, 15pt]}, but this doesn't work: the titles default to the body text font (a Garamond clone). It's not that the bold font is unavailable, because if I use the first version and add: numberstyle=\bf it has the expected/desired result: the chapter number appears in Copperplate Gothic Condensed Bold. I have also looked through the pertinent typescript and map files, and there are no misspellings; the required font files (tfm, vf, and pfb) are all present. Furthermore, I've checked the log file, and the right typescript and map files are always loaded; also, there is nothing in missfont.log. But somehow, when I specify the Bold font, it just doesn't get loaded. 2) In order to get the titles just right, I may need to use customized commands (used via the [text|number]command parameters of \setuphead). But when I attempt to use such commands, TeX usually fails with the error: ! Argument of [my command name] has an extra }. This is not true as far as I can see--at least all the curly braces match in the source file. Here is one example of a command that causes the error: \def\ChapterNumber#1 { \switchtobodyfont [CopperplateGothicCondensed-Bold, 15pt] #1 } I've tried various commands; this one works: \def\SmallSpace#1{\setupinterlinespace[line=1.6ex]#1} but everything else I have tried fails. Is it something to do with white space in the definition? I am using the 2007-01-23 release of ConTeXt on 2 different machines. Both run Linux, but on one I have teTeX 3.0, while on the other one I am using the minimal TeX provided by Pragma ADE. I have run the same files on both machines, and I don't think the TeX distribution makes any difference. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. -- Matt Gushee

Linetables ROW alignment
by Giuseppe Bilotta 18 Jul '07

18 Jul '07

Hello all again, I'm using linetables, because despite their lack of documentation they've been rather easy to set up to achieve the effects I needed (colors, alignment, etc). I have a small problem with the title row though, because I would like its entries to be all typeset centered (whereas the rest of columns has them partly left and partly right aligned) but apparently there is no (easy) way to override alignment in a single row. In particular, \setuplinetable[r][1][align=middle] doesn't work, even though all other specifications (color, background, style) work as expected. I think that if a row alignment is required, it should be applied and take precedente over column alignment. Any suggestions? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta P.S. Looking at core-ltb.tex I've found that \BH and \EH are mapped to \linetableBR and \linetableER. Is this intentional, or a cut-n-paste error? The way it is now, \linetableBH and \linetableEH are never triggered ...

Different parameters for a continuing itemization
by Duncan Hothersall 17 Jul '07

17 Jul '07

I use \startitemize[continue] quite a lot to create itemised lists which continue on from the last number of the previous list. I've only just noticed that the 'continue' keyword seems to mean that parameters in the second [...=...] list of a \startitemize are ignored. Example (tested on live @ contextgarden): \setupcolors[state=start] \starttext Hello world! \startitemize[n][color=blue,stopper={jkl}] \item Hello world! \item Hello world! \stopitemize Hello world! \startitemize[n,inmargin,continue][color=red,stopper={mnb}] \item Hello world! \item Hello world! \stopitemize \stoptext Note that the inmargin keyword in the second \startitemize does seem to work, but the parameters in the second set of [...=...] are ignored. I would really like to be able to continue numbering but be able to override formatting in the continuing list. I *thought* I had been able to do this before, but maybe not. If continue needs to keep this behaviour, is there any chance of a new continuenumberingonly keyword, or similar? :-) (The real world example involves moving from numbering in columns to numbering in the margin, but I need to adjust the width parameter for the continuing list, and it won't let me.) Thanks for any and all help. Duncan

Symmetrical layer positioning?
by Giuseppe Bilotta 17 Jul '07

17 Jul '07

Hello all, is there a "secret power switch" to tell ConTeXt that a particular layer has different positioning depending on wether it's on a left or right page? I can of course do it manually, either by changing the layer position on each page or by using two layers instead of one, but I wanted to know if there was a more straightforward way that I was missing. -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

Html to Context using Wiki + hpricot
by Saji Njarackalazhikam Hameed 16 Jul '07

16 Jul '07

Hello All, I wanted to share my recent experience in co-ordinated document development. In our office we have to make annual reports, each part of which is contributed by a member. Previously everybody wrote 'Word' documents which was compiled into a larger report. Recently we had the idea to use a Wiki to ease the pain out of this process and to make it enjoyable for everyone involved. After looking around various wiki software we decided to install a brand-new one called Informl (http://informl.folklogic.net) . One nice feature about this is that in the edit mode twin windows are used, one for input and the other a realtime preview window. Anyway this approach could work with any Wiki software. One motivation behind using a Wiki as front-end was to involve people who new nothing about Tex or Context. Secondly it allowed any person to participate in the process from anywhere. Next we used the ruby library hpricot to retrieve the web document and filter it into a context document. This step was interesting and I would like to sharing the code with anybody interested. I am a novice Ruby programmer, so the code may be far from perfect .. nevertheless. saji %---------------------------------------------------------------- scan_page.rb = Retrieves the html page of interest from the server, navigates to links within the main page and construct a context document #!/usr/bin/ruby require 'rubygems' require 'open-uri' require 'hpricot' require 'scrape_page' #

Layers in ConTeXt
by Giuseppe Bilotta 16 Jul '07

16 Jul '07

Hello all, I have a couple of questions concerning the use of layers in ConTeXt. I'm working with Luigi Scarso on a layout which is characterized by some fixed-position elements surrounding the actual main body of text. For the fixed-position elements, I'm using layers. However, my ConTeXt is a little rusty[*], so there are a couple of things which I need hints for. The first one is very simple: is there a way to 'fix' the layer's content "until they change"? I've currently set them as page backgrounds, but their content gets reset on each new page. The second question is slightly more complex: is there a way to add contents to a layer, rather than replacing the current layer content? Something like a macro \addtolayer[layername][hoffset=whatever(optional)]{additional content} Thanks in advance, -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta P.S. To prove that it's really me, I'll signal two minor typos in the context source: core-tab.tex:88:%D {inintable, ifsplittables} (first should be ifintable), and page-lyr.tex:81: \c!x=\zeropoint,\c!y=\zeropoint,\c!position=\v!no, page-lyr.tex:87: \c!location=rb,\c!position=\v!no,\c!page=, position=no is set twice in the same setup. [*] I've been out of the loop for a couple of years, the University has sucked up most of my time. I was never too happy with it, and I'm planning on a comeback :D

PNG output
by w.neimeijer＠hccnet.nl 13 Jul '07

13 Jul '07

I want to convert my standalone formulas to PNG to display these formulas on my website. What I am doing is the following \starttext \startTEXpage \startformula e^{i x} = \cos x + i \sin x \stopformula \stopTEXpage \stoptext and process this via texexec --pdf to get a PDF file. I tried to convert the resulting PDF file via gswin32c to png but the resulting PNG output is not so good. Then I read dvipng could do the job, which means I have to produce dvi output via texexec --dvi but than I get complaints from dvips that it cannot find the file tex.pro for the specials. However a png file is produced. Help appreciated TIA Wim

frames in ConTeXt and metafun
by Thomas A. Schmitz 13 Jul '07

13 Jul '07

This is a very small cosmetic problem, but it bugs me: I'm preparing a background for a presentation, and I want a frame with a transparent color to appear on every slide, so I define an overlay and use metapost. I also want to frame some text elements, so I use a \framed. The problem is that in the \framed, the lines of the frame overlap at the edges, so with a transparent color, the corners are slightly darker. The minimal example below shows the problem. Any solution? Is it possible to have the frame around \framed drawn by metapost? Thanks! Thomas %%%%% MINIMAL EXAMPLE %%%%%% \setupcolors[state=start] \definecolor [MyFrameColor] [b=.55, t=.5, a=1] \starttext \startuseMPgraphic{fancyframe} draw unitsquare xyscaled(8cm,8cm) withpen pencircle scaled 4pt withcolor \MPcolor{MyFrameColor} ; \stopuseMPgraphic \useMPgraphic{fancyframe} \framed [rulethickness=4pt,framecolor=MyFrameColor,height=8cm,width=8cm]{\strut} \stoptext

Enumerations and numbered labels
by Norbert Zeh 12 Jul '07

12 Jul '07

Hi folks, I've recently started to consider ConTeXt as an alternative to my long-time friend LaTeX. I like ConTeXt very much but noticed a few things that are either less than ideal or maybe I simply haven't figured out yet how to do them right. Here are the first two: 1) Enumerations I've read in a few places that this is what is to be used whenever I would use theorem-style environments in latex. There are two things I seem to be unable to do: Creating Theorems that look like this. --------------------- THEOREM 1 It would be nice if Context could produce a theorem where the title is not separated from the text and the next line has no hanging indent. --------------------- I was able to produce only ---------------------- THEOREM 1 It would be nice ... ---------------------- or ---------------------- THEOREM 1 It would be nice ... ---------------------- using location=top or location=hanging. What I want is no hanging indent at all. (I also tried location=serried, which produced an overly large gap between THEOREM 1 and the theorem text. The second thing I am used to in latex is the option to place things in parentheses by providing an optional argument to the environment. E.g., in assignments I typeset, I often have either \begin{question} ... \end{question} which simply produces -------------------- Question 1 ... -------------------- or \begin{question}[20 marks] ... \end{question} which produces -------------------- Question 1 (20 marks) ... -------------------- This second option is easy to simulate if I can produce something that has no hanging indents. As it is, I can't. 2) Numbered labels I tried to use numbered labels plus a little bit of tex-code to simulate the above environment. The gist is that I used \definelabel[question][location=intext,text=Question] to define the label and, wherever I needed a new question, \question [ref]. The result of writing \question[ref], however, was "Question Question 1". The label always seemed to be duplicated for some reason. Is this a known bug? Thanks for your help with this.

Here is a directory which should work out of the box; test file is bib-test.tex. I think I found the key to the problem: For \title, the entry of the previous \title is repeated. For \chapter it behaves correctly. I define my articles in terms of \title, and each article is within a \start-stopproduct file. So basically the bib-module needs to support \title as well (used to do so).

texexec command line parameters (help)
by w.neimeijer＠hccnet.nl 12 Jul '07

12 Jul '07

I am experimenting with the various texexec command line options, but it is a bit confusing. I want to minimize the number of runs and suppress as much of the messages as possible. I tried (windows standalone context) : 1) texmfstart --pdf --runs=1 --silentmode texfile.tex This still gave 3 runs with all the Context messages displayed. After a bit of experimenting it turns out that I have to use 2) texmfstart --pdf texfile.tex --runs=1 --silentmode It works, but I am not sure what the correct way is for the other options. The manual mtexexec.pdf (a bit outdated) says I have to use method 1). Also the Wiki page http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TeXExec suggest method 1). Running texexec --help --all does not mention the order in which these parameters should be specified. TIA Wim Neimeijer

metafun externalfigure macro with xetex
by Lutz Haseloff 12 Jul '07

12 Jul '07

Hi all, if i use the metafun macro "externalfigure" with xetex, there is a printed number (first externafigure prints a "1", the second a "2" right after the "1" and so on) in the lower left corner of the picture; the picture itself is shifted to the upper right, out of the bounding box. I have this effect with xetex 996p1, 997-dev, ConTeXt 17.04.07 and the newest beta. Pdftex in this case works very well. Is this a Bug in Xetex or in ConTeXt? Greetings Lutz

:: in xml?
by Christopher Creutzig 11 Jul '07

Salvete, trying to typeset an unchanged old file with a more recent ConTeXt version, I keep running into problems. I have reduced the first of these (others may or may not be symptoms of the same, I'll see that later) to this input: \starttext \startXML <a>a::b</a> \stopXML \stoptext It seems the xml parser does something special with colons in the content of elements. I don't think it should and this is probably just a left-over from looking for xml namespaces, but that is just a guess. Regards, Christopher
