'german' indention in radio field
by Peter Rolf 26 Oct '04

26 Oct '04

Hi there! After a new installation of Texlife my radio field example (4.10.) works (now?). But if you simply add \mainlanguage[de] the first button is indented again. Hmmm...., it seems that my first example was too minimal. I've also tried [en] and [dk]; no problems. I have attached the tex-source and the resulting files (pdf,log). Greetings, Peter % interface=en output=pdftex \enableregime[utf-8] \mainlanguage[de] % !!!! \setupcolors[state=start] \setupinteraction[state=start] \starttext \def\Buttonheight{8mm} \def\Buttonwidth{40mm} \def\ButtonUnselected#1{\framed[frame=off,strut=no,offset=overlay,align={right,lohi}, width=\Buttonwidth,height=\Buttonheight] {\xii#1}} \def\ButtonSelected#1{\framed[strut=no,offset=overlay,width=\Buttonwidth,height=\Buttonheight, align={right,lohi},background=color,backgroundcolor=lightgray,frame=on] {\xii#1}} % graphics for active button (only one) \definesymbol[TbuttonA] [{\ButtonUnselected{\hbox to 2em{~+~}Normal}}] % not selected (mouse pointer is not in area) \definesymbol[TbuttonB] [{\ButtonSelected{\hbox to 2em{~+~}InArea}}] % selected \definesymbol[TbuttonC] [{\ButtonSelected{\hbox to 2em{~+~}LMbutton}}] % + left mouse button % graphics for inactive buttons \definesymbol[TbuttonX] [{\ButtonUnselected{\hbox to 2em{}Normal}}] \definesymbol[TbuttonY] [{\ButtonSelected{\hbox to 2em{}InArea}}] \definesymbol[TbuttonZ] [{\ButtonSelected{\hbox to 2em{}LMbutton}}] % changes to active button, if lmbutton is released in area % setup for single button \setupfield[button] [width=40mm, height=8mm, align=right, distance=0mm, fieldoffset=0bp, offset=none, strut=no, depth=0pt, frame=on, ] % setup for radio field \setupfield[radiofield][vertical] % same for horizontal+\hbox [align=right, distance=0mm, offset=none, strut=no, fieldoffset=0mm, frame=on, empty=yes, option=empty, ] % Radio1 uses setup defined in 'radiofield' \definefield[Radio1][radio][radiofield][Button1,Button2,Button3][Button1] % ButtonN uses setup defined in 'button' \definesubfield[Button1] [button] [{TbuttonA,TbuttonB,TbuttonC},{TbuttonX,TbuttonY,TbuttonZ}] \definesubfield[Button2] [button] [{TbuttonA,TbuttonB,TbuttonC},{TbuttonX,TbuttonY,TbuttonZ}] \definesubfield[Button3] [button] [{TbuttonA,TbuttonB,TbuttonC},{TbuttonX,TbuttonY,TbuttonZ}] \noindent \vbox{\forgetall \field[Button1] \field[Button2] \field[Button3] } \stoptext

i18n in ConTeXt (& some bugs)
by Adam Lindsay 22 Oct '04

22 Oct '04

Hi Hans, Victor, all. I've been feeling the Unicode love with XeTeX, and I explored lang-* as a major test case for internationalised text. I uncovered a few bugs along the way. In OpenType fonts, \i doesn't compose well with accents, unlike normal TeX fonts. Therefore a couple more definitions (at least) are needed in enco-acc: \defineaccent ' {\i} {\iacute} \defineaccent ` {\i} {\igrave} % etc. I had the toughest time getting strings like \v!january to switch language. I found that this change (from \currentmainlanguage) fixed the inability to \ShowLanguageValues. In lang-lab: \def\labellanguage{\defaultlanguage\currentlanguage} \def\headlanguage {\defaultlanguage\currentlanguage} Another bug in visualisation was no doubt brought on by the switch to low level english. In s-mod-00: \VL \ShowLabelText \subsection \VL\MR \VL \ShowLabelText \subsubsection \VL\MR ... changes to... \VL \ShowLabelText \v!subsection \VL\MR \VL \ShowLabelText \v!subsubsection \VL\MR With that done, I noticed a few smaller bugs in the lang-* files. I am not an expert in any of these languages, so all of my recommendations are subject to verification by people who know what they're doing! In lang-grk, a copy-paste error was propagated: \s!fi => \s!gr In lang-ura, the Hungarian word for abbreviations has a typo: R\"ovid\'\it\'esek => R\"ovid\'it\'esek (or R\"ovid\'\i t\'esek) In lang-sla, the Polish word for part has an \ecedilla, which I'm guessing should be an \eogonek... Ust\c{e}p => Ust\k{e}p (probably!) In lang-ita, The Catalan word for March is spelled with a \,. That's probably a cedilla: mar\,c => mar\c{c} Finally, I've done some work filling out enco-uc with characters used in the other encodings and (especially) characters used in the lang-* files. It's attached. I have a couple questions that remain for experts: Greek: I defined \Greekleftquot as a guillemot, as a guess. Is that right? Cyrillic: The Unicode codepoint for \cyrilicii completely baffled me for a while. (I don't have a copy of the t2a/b fonts here with me to take a look for myself!) According to Unicode, it should be the same as \cyrillici, but that can't be right. I'm now guessing that since it appears the same as the roman 'i' in enco-cyr, it corresponds with U+0456: CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER BYELORUSSIAN-UKRAINIAN I. Is that right? The additions to enco-uc are attached. I would be ever so grateful if they found their way into the distribution! By the way, although these seem like complaints, I must say (again) that the plumbing supporting arbitrary encodings, accents, and input regimes in ConTeXt is absolutely fantastic. Making XeTeX work with ConTeXt is really quite trivial compared to the efforts being expended on the XeLaTeX side! Best, adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

\part centered vertically.

Hi guys, I have setup my parts in the following way: \def\MyPart#1#2 {\hbox to \hsize \bgroup \hfill \setupframed[height=.7cm,offset=.5em,frame=off] \framed[align=left]{#1}% \framed[align=right,leftframe=on]{#2}% \egroup} \setuphead[part][before={\vfill},after={\vfill},command=\MyPart] But this does not make my parts titles appear vertically centered. Any one has a clue about it ? How can i get rid of the keyword part or change it when it appears in my title ? Thanx. Dirar.

Upright greek with Fourier
by SebastianSturm＠t-online.de 19 Oct '04

19 Oct '04

Hi, I'm using the Fourier Utopia Fonts together with the latest stable i-Installer ConTeXt package. I'd like to access Fourier's upright greek alphabet, especially the large omega. However, the font including that character doesn't seem to be used in math-fou.tex. I tried all characters of mi (standard math) as well as many characters of sy and the ex one (using \definemathsymbol [otheromega] [ord] [...] [...]). I guess I'd have to define a font synonym pointing to the right font file, but my attempts didn't produce anything but garbage. At the moment I'm using \getglyph{fourier-ml}{173}, which is stupid but functional. So, can anyone help? Thanks in advance, Sebastian

Salvete, \usemodule[nath] \starttext \startformula F(\beta, E_{min}, E_{max}, m) = \wall\{0,\infty,-\infty\} \return \cup \left\{\left.s\,\beta^e\sum_{i=0}^{m}a_i\beta^{-i}\right\vert s\in\{-1,1\}, 0\leq a_i<\beta, e\in\integers, E_{min}\leq e\leq E_{max}\right\}. \stopformula \stoptext I thought the \return were to go to the horizontal position of the \wall, in the next line?

Miktex blues

All, I still need a copy of runperl.exe if anyone has one. Meanwhile, I've got a repeatable weirdness I hope someone can explain.

If I cut them and paste them into f:\localtexmf\miktex\fmt, then the test file junk.tex will compile. %testfile: junk.tex \starttext \framed {Let�s see if it works.} \stoptext Now, if I make these changes to texexec.ini: set TeXFormatPath to f:/localtexmf/miktex/fmt % ConTeXtPath texmf/tex/context/base sources % SetupPath texmf/tex/base/user cont-sys/usr file % TeXScriptsPath texmf/context/perltk scripts % TeXFontsPath texmf font files % set MpFormatPath to f:/localtexmf/miktex/mem % % == the main shell setting == % % As shown below, one can define his/her own sections.

Visiting Context Again --- Math
by David Arnold 16 Oct '04

16 Oct '04

All, I'd like to pick up Context again. I have some colleagues at work who are getting new MacIntoshes and I'd like to form a group to do some articles and activities for our students. Two questions: 1. Has anyone experience with TeXShop and Context? Any special things I need to know to set it up? Any things to watch out for? 2. I understand there are some new math modules, nath and something Hans called newmat. Where can I find the documentation for these modules? Any pointers and links will be appreciated. Thanks.

problems with indented columnized itemization
by Stefan Wachter 15 Oct '04

15 Oct '04

Hi all, I try to generate the following output: Some Label * item 1 * item 2 * item 3 * item 4 * item 4 * item 5 i.e. I want to have a label followed by an itemization that is set in columns. I tried several things but did not succeede 1. Variant - a tabulate environment \starttabulate[|l|p|] \NC \inframed[width=\LabelWidth,align=left]{Teilnehmer}\hskip\SepWidth \NC \startitemize[columns,three] \item Bauherr \item Architekt \item Bauleiter \stopitemize \NC\NR \stoptabulate There the following problems: a) the itemization introduces an additional empty line and b) the [columns,three] parameter is not considered. 2. Variant - using a narrower \startnarrower[left] \startitemize[columns,three] \item Bauherr \item Architekt \item Bauleiter \stopitemize \stopnarrower The problem with this variant is that the coluns do not respect the right margin, i.e. the items reach beyond the paper. Has anyone a solution for this problem? Thanks for your attention, --Stefan

pdftex 1.20a and map files
by Christopher Creutzig 13 Oct '04

13 Oct '04

Salvete, I tried upgrading to pdfTeX 1.20a on my powerbook. I built the binaries successfully and placed them and their pool files into some temporary location and I was able to build ConTeXt formats. Unfortunately, pdftex.map was not found, generated files have just lots of empty pages. I did try "sudo texmfstart textools --fixtexmftrees", but that did not move pdftex.map from its place in dvips/config. I tried to follow the NEWS file in the pdftex distribution, but that only lists two non-existant URLs at tug.org to find information. The list archive of tex-live seems to have moved and to be inaccessible to non-subscribers. Not wanting yet another mailing list, I just don't have access to this vital piece of information, which imho should be listed right in the NEWS file. Where is pdftex.map and the likes supposed to be for 1.20a? regards, Christopher Creutzig

textext() doesn't work on my MikTeX distr.

The following example works on live@contextgarden, but on my computer it only writes "unknown" at the place of "x". btex etex also doesn't work in ConTeXt (metaplay) on my computer, although it does without any problems in metapost/mptopdf. \starttext \startMPpage draw textext.origin("x"); draw fullcircle scaled 2cm; \stopMPpage \stoptext I use the latest MikTeX distribution (although ConTeXt may not be really up-to-date, but that shouldn't be a problem, I suppose). It's probably just a matter of a single setting or so (it should be corrected in MikTeX as well if that's the case), but I don't know where to start looking. Thanks for help, Mojca Miklavec

Re: [NTG-context] Undefined control sequence. <argument> \c!gebied
by Thomas A.Schmitz 13 Oct '04

13 Oct '04

Dear Hans and all, again, thanks for your help! Everything is working as it should now. After asking on the TeX on OSX mailing-list, I found out that there was an experimental installation that already contains pdftex 1.20a, so I upgraded. I changed texmf.cnf as you suggested to Christopher Creutzig yesterday, regenerated mapfiles, and everything's bright again. But I was sweating and cursing... If it hadn't been for a complete backup of my old TeX installation on my second hard drive and your wonderful help, I would have had a lot of serious troubles. I guess that's a general problem with TeX installations: originally, they were made for UNIX mainframes maintained by knowledgeable sys admins who would likely know how to cope with such a situation. Nowadays, I assume that the majority of TeX users sit in front of their own box, and even though I can do some things on the command line and have by now acquired a reasonabel amount of TeXpertise, I would have been absolutely helpless without you and Gerben's great installer. So you're absolutely right: downward compatibility is broken; it is difficult to make local changes without wiping the entire installation. That's what you get from being impatient... All best, and thanks Thomas On Oct 11, 2004, at 10:03 PM, Hans Hagen wrote: > i'll try to keep texmfstart as compatibile as possible; there has been > a change in tds with regards to scripts (interestingly context was the > first to come with such scripts and the rule was to use /context/...); > when more package came with scripts tds was changed and now it's > /scripts/... ; the problem is that there is no strong urge to be > downward compatible (i tried to convince them in change but in vain) > and since kpsewhich now uses another --format directive for such > scripts, downward compatibility in my opinion is broken (all scripts > that somehow use kpse to determine what to run will fail from now on, > unless changed); so, this is why i cooked up texmfstart: it tries to > be clever in determining what to call.

Hi all, I tried to use the new minimal Context distribution under Windows. 1. I unpacked the file mswintex.zip.bz2. 2. I added the folder tex/texmf-mswin/bin to the path. 3. I tried to execute texexec. I got the the error message that the DLL tl80kpse.dll is not available. Does anyone know what I have to do? Thanks for your attention, --Stefan

[OT] compiling pdfTeX 1.2 on MacOS X
by Henning Hraban Ramm 11 Oct '04

11 Oct '04

Hello together! I know, this is a bit OT, but... The latest beta of ConTeXt needs pdfTeX 1.20, and I'd like to use it but the latest pdfTeX doesn't compile completely on my Panther, I always get the following last words after some making and compiling: /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=compile "gcc -no-cpp-precomp" -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../../src/texk/kpathsea -I.. -I../../../src/texk/kpathsea/.. -g -O2 -DMAKE_KPSE_DLL -c ../../../src/texk/kpathsea/tex-file.c "gcc -no-cpp-precomp" -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../../src/texk/kpathsea -I.. -I../../../src/texk/kpathsea/.. -g -O2 -DMAKE_KPSE_DLL -c ../../../src/texk/kpathsea/tex-file.c -o tex-file.o ../libtool: line 1: gcc -no-cpp-precomp: command not found make[1]: *** [tex-file.lo] Error 1 make: *** [../kpathsea/libkpathsea.la] Error 2 I don't speak C, so I don't understand if it tells that "gcc -no-cpp-precomp" is wrong (can't be, it works anywhere) or that libtool is wrong or what? BTW: Is there any reason why sarovar.org is not reachable so often? Now I got 1.20a from http://freshmeat.net/projects/pdftex/ Grüßlis vom Hraban! --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/

Font sizes.
by Dirar Bougatef 11 Oct '04

11 Oct '04

Hi, I have 2 questions: 1. When you say something like : \definebodyfont[10pt][rm][tfe=lbr at 36pt] Do i have to provide the 36pts font files at first and install them or does context adapt a font file with another size to the 36pt size ? 2. I have installed a font which i got with a .pfb and a .afm file. When i make the following calls: \pdfmapfile{+texnansi-rubicon-karatmedium.map} \font\Myfont=texnansi-raw-KAMN \setupbodyfont[Myfont] \starttext This is roman, {\bf bold}, {\it italic}, {\bi bold-italic}, {\tfa bigger} and {\tfx smaller}. \stoptext Which size is going to be displayed ? Thanks. Dirar.

Undefined control sequence. <argument> \c!gebied
by Thomas A.Schmitz 11 Oct '04

11 Oct '04

OK, I tried several things to fix the error "Undefined control sequence. <argument> \c!gebied," but it persists. I wiped out my entire texmf.local tree and started from scratch because I thought the c!gebied was residing in some older file that ha dnot been overwritten. But even starting from scratch wouldn't amend the situation; after regenerating the format, I get the same error. However, grepping for "c!gebied" in the newly created tree gives only this result: grep -r 'c!gebied' ./* ./tex/context/base/cont-sys.ori:% \setupexternalfigures [\c!gebied={e:/fig/eps,t:/mine/figs}] ./tex/context/user/cont-sys.rme:% \setupexternalfigures [\c!gebied={e:/fig/eps,t:/mine/figs}] So this shouldn't be the problem since these two lines in cont-sys.rme are commented out. Does anybody have an idea where the error is coming from? There must be some old config file re-introducing it into the format file, but I can't seem to find it. Baffled Thomas

Nightmare after upgrading

I've never thought it could be such a big problem. after several unsuccessful tries I decided to restored the old version, but I even couldn't go back! it seems that context has kept "memory" somewhere to trace the version changes. after 3 hours tired struggle I've lost all the patience and all the hope... I've also heared similar stories from other people, but I just wonder how it could be a trouble to upgrade a package like context? Best regards, Minchao

Re: website
by Thomas A.Schmitz 08 Oct '04

Very tasteful new look, I like the colors (except for the "links" page, the mauve doesn't go very well with the rest). One has to get used to the idea that a website is presented like a pdf document in sequential order, but the clean look is quite beautiful. Of course, I was impatient and downloaded the latest version, and now I get a couple errors when processing, but I hope can straighten that out. Congratulations, Hans, wonderful work! Best Thomas

setup of headers
by Thomas A.Schmitz 04 Oct '04

04 Oct '04

Hi, found an old thread in the list archives, Adam Warner and Hans, but there was no real conclusion. Can this be done in ConTeXt? I want the following setup for my headers: mirror doublesided, on the even pages pagenumber leftaligned, chaptertitle midaligned; odd pages sectiontitle midaligned, pagenumber rightaligned; like so: 9______chapter______ || ______section______10 If I am not completely mistaken, setupheadertexts takes either one argument (identical header fo all pages, midaligned) or two (identical header for all pages, rightaligned/leftaligned) or four (mirroring even/odd headers, rightaligned/leftaligned). I think what we need here would be for \setupheadertexts to accept SIX arguments: \setupheadertexts[even left][even middle][even right][odd left][odd middle][odd right] Or is there another way to do this, and I'm just too stupid to see it? Best Thomas

strange behavior of MetaFun
by Sun Minchao 04 Oct '04

04 Oct '04

Hi, recently I've installed ConTeXt and after all the complicated configurations I could finally write my first chinese text, but as I tried MetaFun today, I got very strange error message: I tried to compile the trivial sample on the first page of "metafun-p.pdf": \starttext \startuseMPgraphic{dummy} fill fullcircle scaled 5cm withcolor red ; \stopuseMPgraphic \useMPgraphic{dummy} \stoptext I invoked "texexec test", after some messages scrolled by it stopped and show: !Equation cannot be performed (numeric=boolean) local_multi_par_area:=false; I traced to that line in the file "test-mpgraph.mp" which has been produced by texexec in the first step and I simply deleted it, then I ran "mpost test-mpgraph" manually and got "test-mpgraph.1" without any problem, but as I viewed it with GSview there was only a quarter of disc, which should be a 5cm filled circle. I've also tried with other Metapost files but got always the same result: that line will always be added to the intermedia file. I think it's not because of a wrong configuration of ConTeXt but something "deep inside". btw. I'm using MikTeX 2.2, ActivePerl 5.8, ConTeXt is the newest version while TeXExec somehow old (v3.1), but I don't think the problem lies there because exept metapost the other part works well, for the configuration of MetaFun I've done following: I first edited the corresponding part of /texmf/context/config/texexec.ini to be suited to MikTeX, then after refreshing MikTeX name database I did a "texexec --make --alone metafun", it produced metafun.mem in /localtexmf/miktex/fmt, I moved it then to /localtexmf/miktex/mem now I absolutely have no idea about it... I would be very thankful if someone can tell how to fix around, besides I do want to know what's wrong. Best regards, Minchao

PPCHTeX Bug?
by Henning Hraban Ramm 01 Oct '04

01 Oct '04

On TeX-D-L (german ML) was last week a dicussion about a PPCHTeX bug (at least with LaTeX), it seems that the file ppchtex.tex lost its tail (ca. 3kB). I told the user to ask at the PPCHTeX Mailing list, but he only got a message, that the list was moderated. Could someone care about this, please? I never used PPCHTeX...

Fonts in ConTeXt
by Werner Struckmann 01 Oct '04

01 Oct '04

We have installed quite a lot of fonts (mathtimepro, lucidabr, cm-super, ...). Currently we are using these fonts with LaTeX. All fonts are working correctly, i. e. we have the following files for each font afm/tfm/vf/pfb as well as map file for xdvi, dvips, dvipdfm and pdftex, Here is my question: How can we use all these fonts with ConTeXt? Is there an easy way to do so?

positioning layers again
by Eckhart Guthöhrlein 01 Oct '04

01 Oct '04

Hi all, I have managed to create my poster, arranging stuff on the page using layers. But I have to admit that I have used hard-coded coordinates for all layers. (I used a metapost grid in the background for measuring and aligning in the draft version.) If anybody is interested, I can make the poster and the source available online after the conference. I don't want to be nerving, but to make things easier in the future, I would like to repeat my question: How to position layers relative to each other, not relative to a common coordinate origin? (So that you don't have to move subsequent layers if some box changes its height etc.) I have experimented a bit with the stuff in the 'positional graphics' chapter of the metafun manual, but didn't make it. So, thanks for hints and suggestions. Regards, -- Eckhart

Poster with layers
by Eckhart Guthöhrlein 27 Sep '04

27 Sep '04

Hi all, I have to prepare a scientific poster, and of cause using anything except TeX is below a real scientist's dignity. The main problem is that I have to arrange content rather freely on the page, without the regularity imposed by using tables or columns. Using layers for this purpose is probably best. I have started with something like: \definelayer[ModelingLayer] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=ModelingLayer] \setlayer[ModelingLayer][position=no,x=1cm,y=1cm]{% \framed{Whatever}} This seems to work well enough for my purposes. Or does anybody have a better idea? Then please let me know. My main at the moment is positioning. I would like to position one layer relative to another. Say for example, 'top left edge of layer x 2cm below and 3cm right of bottom center of layer y'. So, how can I access the necessary values, i.e. x, y, width, depth, height of a layer? Or is there an easier way to do this? Greetings, Eckhart

Help with LaTeX -> ConTeXt & book typesetting
by Ulrich Dirr 27 Sep '04

27 Sep '04

Hi, I'm recently trying to get ConTeXt typesetting my books like with LaTeX before (or better). But I can't solve some problems ... Maybe someone can assist me? o How do I get the chapter number into the heading? I've tried \setupheader[before=\viii,style=normal] \setupheadertexts[chapter] but this only puts the chapter title into the heading o How can I get something similar to LaTeX? \fancyhead[C]{% {\sffamily\footnotesize \leftmark \pdef\next{\rightmark}% \ifx\next\empty\else\ \textbullet\ \rightmark\fi}% } which will put the chapter mark centered in the headings, and if there is a sectionmark then a bullet & sectionmark too. o How can I typeset the chapter title across both columns in a two-column setup? o How can I tell ConTeXt the distance between columns? Or should I define only the columnwidth? How? My first defintion looks like \setuplayout[width=358dd,lines=46,topspace=11mm,backspace=17mm, margin=0cm,marking=on,location=middle,grid=yes,header=12bp, headerdistance=18bp,footer=12bp,footerdistance=11mm] o How can I tell ConTeXt to balance the last page? I've tried something like \definecolumnset[two][n=2,tolerance=tolerant,distance=12bp] \setupcolumnset [two][balance=yes] but this doesn't work. o Is it possible to setup a project using only didot (or bp) point measurements? How? Especially I want a interline space in dd or bp which is flexible like \setupinterlinespace[line=1.25\bodyfontsize] but uses dd or bp. o I've tried to setup the typographical correct quotation marks for german in the file cont-sys.tex \setuplanguage [de] [leftquote=\rightsubguillemot, leftquotation=\rightguillemot, rightquote=\leftsubguillemot, rightquotation=\leftguillemot] When using it, e.g., \quotation{all right \quote{there} we go} and using \showstruts I got marks at strange places |»all right |there| we go|« Should this be corrected somewhere? o How do I get character protruding and font expansion? (I didn't find the latter in the manual) o I've tried to use my fontinst installation of HelveticaNeueLT in the main document with \usetypescriptfile [type-NeueHelvetica] \usetypescript [usw][NeueHelveticaLT] \setupbodyfont [NeueHelveticaLT, ss, 9.5pt] (first I tried 9.5dd but these doesn't showed any effect) with type-NeueHelvetica.tex: \starttypescript [sans] [NeueHelvetica] [\defaultencoding] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-UltraLight] [lhnj8t] [encoding=\defaultencoding] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-UltraLightItal] [lhnji8t] [encoding=\defaultencoding] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-Thin] [lhna8t] [encoding=\defaultencoding] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-ThinItalic] [lhnai8t] [encoding=\defaultencoding] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-Light] [lhnl8t] [encoding=\defaultencoding] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-LightItalic] [lhnli8t] [encoding=\defaultencoding] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-Roman] [lhnr8t] [encoding=\defaultencoding] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-Italic] [lhnri8t] [encoding=\defaultencoding] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-Medium] [lhnm8t] [encoding=\defaultencoding] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-MediumItalic] [lhnmi8t] [encoding=\defaultencoding] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-Bold] [lhnb8t] [encoding=\defaultencoding] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-BoldItalic] [lhnbi8t] [encoding=\defaultencoding] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-Heavy] [lhnh8t] [encoding=\defaultencoding] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-HeavyItalic] [lhnhi8t] [encoding=\defaultencoding] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-Black] [lhnc8t] [encoding=\defaultencoding] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-BlackItalic] [lhnci8t] [encoding=\defaultencoding] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-BoldOutline] [lhnbl8t] [encoding=\defaultencoding] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [sans] [NeueHelvetica] [name] \definefontsynonym [SansBlack] [HelveticaNeueLT-Black] \definefontsynonym [SansBlackItalic] [HelveticaNeueLT-BlackItalic] \definefontsynonym [SansBold] [HelveticaNeueLT-Bold] \definefontsynonym [SansBoldItalic] [HelveticaNeueLT-BoldItalic] \definefontsynonym [SansHeavy] [HelveticaNeueLT-Heavy] \definefontsynonym [SansHeavyItalic] [HelveticaNeueLT-HeavyItalic] \definefontsynonym [SansMedium] [HelveticaNeueLT-Medium] \definefontsynonym [SansMediumItalic] [HelveticaNeueLT-MediumItalic] \definefontsynonym [Sans] [HelveticaNeueLT-Roman] \definefontsynonym [SansItalic] [HelveticaNeueLT-Italic] \definefontsynonym [SansLight] [HelveticaNeueLT-Light] \definefontsynonym [SansLightItalic] [HelveticaNeueLT-LightItalic] \definefontsynonym [SansThin] [HelveticaNeueLT-Thin] \definefontsynonym [SansThinItalic] [HelveticaNeueLT-ThinItalic] \definefontsynonym [SansUltraLight] [HelveticaNeueLT-UltraLight] \definefontsynonym [SansUltraLightItalic] [HelveticaNeueLT-UltraLightItal] \definefontsynonym [SansBoldOutline] [HelveticaNeueLT-BoldOutline] \definefontsynonym [SansTitling] [SansBoldOutline] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [usw] [NeueHelveticaLT] \definetypeface [NeueHelveticaLT] [rm] [serif] [times] [default] [encoding=\defaultencoding] \definetypeface [NeueHelveticaLT] [ss] [sans] [NeueHelvetica] [default] [rscale=1.00375,encoding=\defaultencoding] \definetypeface [NeueHelveticaLT] [tt] [mono] [default] [default] [encoding=\defaultencoding] \stoptypescript I didn't find a way to get dd or bp, so I tried rscale ... The first ad hoc try with %\starttypescript [usw] [NeueHelveticaLT] [size] % \definebodyfont % [4bp,5bp,6bp,7bp,8bp,9bp,10bp,11bp,12bp,14bp,18bp] % [ss] [sans] [NeueHelvetica] %\stoptypescript didn't work. And maybe there I need something for protruding and font expansion? (I have to admit that I don't understand the whole font handling in ConTeXt!) o Does there exist some support for RCS? In LaTeX I've used \RequirePackage[nofancy]{rcsinfo} and then I put in the page area of the crop marks: on top 'Art \& Satz \raise.5pt\hbox{\textbullet} Ulrich Dirr\hfill Seite »\thepage« \the\count1\ von \numpages' and on bottom <project specific info>\hfill \rcsInfoFile\ Rev.\rcsInfoRevision\hfill \the\day.\the\month.\the\year\ \printtime How can I put these information on the page? Should I use something you called 'Logo types' in the manual or something like layers? o Where are the command parameters fully explained? (Even in the manual they are just listed but not explained.) o In lang-ger.tex you defined "ck with \discretionary{k-}{k}{ck}. But on the other hand dehyphn.tex is used which is the new german hyphenation table. Then 'ck' will no longer be hyphenated like k-k. Or am I missing something? Thanks in advance Ulrich Dirr

Hi, as there seemed to be interactions between ConTeXt that comes with TeXLive and the recent one I've installed, I finally deleted EVERYTHING and started anew. -> I installed TeXLive on a WinXP - without the ConTeXt option. -> I copied the saved texec.exe in TeXLive's /bin folder -> I installed bin-aleph-1.15--2.2--RC2-win32.zip from CTAN -> I executed the following comands: mktexlsr fmtutil --all mktexlsr texexec --make --all --alone --tex=aleph mktexlsr texexec alephtest1.tex --tex=aleph --output=dpx But again it failed and ended in "*".

How to implement a changing navigation bar?
by Stefan Wachter 23 Sep '04

Hi all, I use an overlay to implement a navigation bar in the left margin of a document. It seems to me that the processing of the overlay is done only once and not for every page again. In addition, the \lastpage is not available. Does anyone know a solution? Maybe headers/footers are a solution. But how is absolute positioning accomplished with them? Thanks for your attention, --Stefan PS: Here is my current implementation: \definelayer[navbar] \setupbackgrounds[text][leftmargin][background=navbar] \setlayer[navbar][x=0cm,y=10cm]{\the\pageno}

Part number in formula numbers?

Hello, what I'm trying to achieve is a way to have formula numbers contain the part number together with the chapter number, as in: a = b (part.chapter.formula) instead of a = b (chapter.formula) which is what you have by default, or a = b (part.formula) which is the only alternative I manage to obtain. How can I do it? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

If you simply proceed now, the `\par' that I've just inserted will cause me to report a runaway argument that might be the root of the problem.

Natural Table does not allow using defined typing in its cell

Hello, I found a strange (to me) bTABLE behaviour. I'm defining the "programlisting" typing and it works when used like below \def\BeforeProgramListing{\startframedtext[background=screen,width=\hsize,style=\tttf\small]} \def\AfterProgramListing{\stopframedtext} \definetyping[programlisting][before=\BeforeProgramListing,after=\AfterProgramListing] \startprogramlisting "Hello World! Hello" + txtName.text + "!" \stopprogramlisting When I'm trying to insert a programlisting into a table cell using the following code -- it fails to create PDF. \bTABLE \bTR \bTD Set the value to \eTD \bTD \startprogramlisting "Hello World! Hello" + txtName.text + "!" \stopprogramlisting \eTD \eTR \eTABLE When I replace \start\stopprogramlisting with in place \start\stopframedtext -- it works ok. \bTD \startframedtext[background=screen,width=\hsize,style=\tttf\small] "Hello World!

On pages 39 ff and section 3.6 of _The Context Manual_ there are examples of different page imposition methods. I wonder if this has been extended to the level of true prepress software, with compensation for paper thickness and/or skew when folded and cut? Or is it just a demonstration of what could be done? This came up on another list while discussing pamphlet making. -- John Culleton Short list of publishing/marketing books: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf

Layout definitions ..
by Dirar Bougatef 21 Sep '04

21 Sep '04

Hi, I have 2 questions: 1. Is there anyway to answer the messages on this archive without replying to the corresponding received mail? I would like to update a previous post but can't manage to do it. 2. I would like to define a new layout that does not contain left and right margins. This layout is going to divide my page to 4 parts as a matrix of 2x2. How can i do that ? Is there anyway to identify each part of them in the same way as we identify the left and right margins within the default layout ? Is this in relation with margin and opposite blocks ? Many thanks. Dirar.

bTABLE rogue column widths
by Duncan Hothersall 21 Sep '04

21 Sep '04

Hi all. I have the following code, used to set quotations with over-large quote marks either side. I use the bTABLE/eTABLE model because it is easy, and because it allows for the variable width of the quotation part (the middle column) and for it to carry over into multiple lines. When this code is run, the first one works as expected (the cell containing the quote is the width of the quote text). The second one produces a quote cell which expands so that the table fills the whole width of the page, even though the quote text itself is thinner than the previous one. I have left the lines in the table to show the problem. This runs on live.contextgarden.net and shows the same behaviour. Any thoughts on how to fix it to make the second one work like the first? Thanks.

Movie as externalfigure
by Eckhart Guthöhrlein 20 Sep '04

20 Sep '04

Hi all, probably I'm missing something trivial, but I can't make context include a mov-file. Here is my input: \starttext \externalfigure[mdmovie.mov] [label=md,width=4cm,height=4cm,preview=yes] \stoptext I don't get a movie in the pdf resulting from `texexec --pdf`, only this message seems to be a hint: figures : figure mdmovie.mov is not preset I found this problem in the archive; it was solved by specifying height and width. But I did already specify both height and width, so what's the problem? The movie is located in the same directory as the tex-file, so it has to be found, too. (And I guess 'preset' is not a typo anyway, is it?) I couldn't find anything helpful in the docs or the wiki, either. My version is the latest beta: pdfeTeX, Version 3.14159-1.10a-RC3-2.1 (Web2C 7.4.3) ConTeXt ver: 2004.8.18 fmt: 2004.9.16 int: english mes: english Thanks in advance, Eckhart

Re: [NTG-context] what fonts I have in my systems?
by ciro 20 Sep '04

20 Sep '04

Thank you to Tobias Hilbricht for the script. It is exactly what I was looking for. I notice that the command "testfont" is not a command with the backslash "\" Is there any way to create one single file with a \sample page for each font installed in my computer? Ciro =================================================== Dear Ciro, I used the following shell skript, which was one and a half years ago on http://www.educat.hu-berlin.de/~voss/lyx/fonts/fonts.phtml fontdemo.sh ------------- find `kpsewhich -expand-var='$TEXMFMAIN'`/fonts/tfm -name '*.tfm' -print | \ sed 's@.*/@@; s@\.tfm$@@' | \ xargs sh -c 'for i in "$@"; do (echo $i; echo \\\sample\\\bye) | \ tex testfont; mv testfont.dvi $i.dvi; echo $i.dvi; done' sh ------------- It gives you one dvi-file per installed font in your TeX-System - that is usually a lot. Yours sincerely Tobias Hilbricht

Delete your ConTeXt install (ok this might not be necessary), make sure you don't have two Contexts (e.g. one in texmf and another in texmf-var), reinstall the latest ConTeXt, refresh the fndb BEFORE you generate the formats, regenerate the formats, and it should work. b. Also, are you sure that you are running aleph in extended mode? Giuseppe, is extended mode the default for aleph or does it have to be explicitly invoked? If Aleph is running in extended mode, and if every ConTeXt file is in the fndb, then it really should work... Idris

Then I immediately deleted the files in texmf/tex/context/base/ and texmf/metapost/context/base/ . Now I also deleted the texmf/.../texexec.ini file and reinstalled context again (texmf-local tree) Hashed the ls-r, rebuild the formats and tried it again. Still the same error logs.

\dh in ConTeXt
by Charles Doherty 17 Sep '04

17 Sep '04

Dear all, Using the following input in LaTeX I could get the output below. But try as I might I cannot achieve this in ConTeXt. \documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article} \usepackage{palatino} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[applemac]{inputenc} My input for ConTeXt is: \enableregime[mac] \usetypescriptfile [adobekb] \setupencoding [default=ec] \usetypescript [adobekb] [\defaultencoding] \usetypescript[palatino][\defaultencoding] \starttext Howth {\em H\k{o}f\dh i} / {\em H\k{o}f\dh a}, ... Output from the console says that \dh is an undefined control sequence. This and similar commands are mentioned in Kopka and Daly: A guide to LaTeX2e p. 423. In LaTeX using \dh \DH \th \TH I get the result below. But the \ng \NG produce the black rule. I would be happy if just the \dh worked. I note that the encoding in LaTeX is T1. In Hans's Fonts in ConTeXt p. 17 this seems to be the equivalent to 8r. I tried this but with no success. I would be most grateful if anyone can help. I use a Mac OSX 1.3.5. My TeX installation is throught Gerben's installer.

Float question

17 Sep '04

Hi, I've defined a new float with \setupfloats[background=screen,spacebefore=none,spaceafter=none,indentnext= no] \definefloat [diagram] [diagrams] In general they are nicely placed, and grid typesetting is maintained. Sometimes 'indentnext=no' doesn't work. Why? When typesetting with columnsets \chapter{Versuch über die Krankheiten des Kopfes} \startcolumnset[two] <float> [...] the space above isn't removed but it works when the float is moved to a new page when there's not enough room left. Do I have to manually put a negative space here? (I suspect that even the spacebefore and spaceafter didn't work) CHAPTER TITLE xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx +-----------------+ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx +-----------------+ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Is it possible to to place a 'note' at the point where the float should be placed but is moved to the next column or page? page 1 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx see diagram n on page 2 ((or 'see next diagram' in xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx case of column break)) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx page 2 <diagram n> xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [...] Best regards, Ulrich

incompatibility metafun / metaobj

Hi all, there seems to be an incompatibility between metafun's anglebetween macro and the metaobj package. Sample input: \startMPinclusions input metaobj; \stopMPinclusions \startreusableMPgraphic{ff} draw anglebetween(origin--(0,100),origin--(100,0),(btex $\vartheta$ etex)); \stopreusableMPgraphic \starttext \reuseMPgraphic{ff} \stoptext This results into: error in metapost run : fftest-mpgraph.mp:124 Running 'mpost fftest-mpgraph' manually shows the following error: !

Hi Samuel, Thanks for close reading. I corrected the things you mentioned but have a few questions left: (i cc to the context list) % Quantifiers: I think having the quantified identifier in subscript % is a very German notation. % It changes on page 109, with a non-subscript x, but there still % is a vertical bar where I would simply put a comma. can you explain this a bit more, do we need an alternative representation? (mathml completely ignores cultural aspects -) % p. 35 % If prsubset means propersubset, then it looks like % subset and notsubset have been exchanged respectively % with prsubset and notprsubset. I now have: \def\MMLcSUBSET #1#2{\MMLcset\subset} \def\MMLcPRSUBSET #1#2{\MMLcset\subseteq} \def\MMLcNOTSUBSET #1#2{\MMLcset{\not\subset}} \def\MMLcNOTPRSUBSET #1#2{\MMLcset{\not\subseteq}} do you mean that i should swap these? % p. 38 % The symbol for outer product more looks like a tensor product. the mathml standard has no real examples and leaves much to guess, so what do you expect to see (example) % p. 56 % A cardinality is visualized using vertical bars. % [But what exactly is meant with cardinality?] % Are you serious when asking this question? in the formal visualized math way, indeed; i wonder what the result should look like, since the spec is fuzzy % p. 137 sqq. % Most symbols appear as a box with a question mark here. that's because taco still has to finish his unicode math fonts ...
