Since you're using WinXP, right-click on My Computer, select Properties -> Advanced -> Environment Variables; add the path to aleph into the PATH settings.

Hi, in order to use Aleph in ConTeXt I switched from MacOSX to WinXP. I installed fptex from the latest TeXLive CD (Sept.2003) installed the recent ConTeXt beta in my local tree, installed also the latest (?) Aleph version from CTAN ("bin-aleph-1.15--2.2--RC2-win32-static.zip") in the main tree and followed the steps Hans once wrote here: > texexec --make --alone --tex=aleph > > texexec yourfile --tex=aleph --output=dpx > > (or first line of file: % tex=aleph output=dvipdfmx) > > > Hans The result was not working: *** TeXExec 4.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2003 executable : aleph format : cont-en inputfile : alephtest1 output : dvipdfmx interface : en current mode : none TeX run : 1 Der Befehl "aleph" ist entweder falsch geschrieben oder konnte nicht gefunden werden.

Installatie ConTeXt hapert
by Mike Boldy 16 Sep '04

16 Sep '04

Beste ConTeXt-ers, Ik ben bezig met de installatie van ConTeXt. Ik maak gebruik van MiKTeX op een windows machine. De zip-bestanden zijn uitgepakt, PERL is geinstalleerd, texexec.ini is aangepast op MiKTeX. Nu ben ik zover dat ik formats moet maken met "texexec --make en nl", maar dat lukt niet. De log-file eindigt als volgt: ... ! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [pool size=470502]. @if ...pandafter if@ string #1#2endcsname newif ...er expandafter edef @if #1{false} {let noexpand #1noexpand if... l.1164 \newif\ifXMLsimpleentities % last resort If you really absolutely need more capacity, you can ask a wizard to enlarge me. Weet iemand wat er mis gaat? Overigens, als ik "texexec --make" doe wordt er wel een format aangemaakt, maar dan alleen "mptopdf.efmt".

Placing figure inside a table cell, centered
by Eugene Toporov 16 Sep '04

16 Sep '04

Hello, I'm doing a quest. What I intend to do is a table (using Natural Tables) where one of the columns contains a small icon centered within the cell with no other data there. My table looks like this: \bTABLE \bTR \bTH Operation\eTH \bTH[align=middle] Result\eTH \eTR \bTR \bTD HelloWorld! \eTD \bTD[align=middle] \externalfigure[checkbox] \eTD \eTR \eTABLE "align=middle" for TD gives the expected result for the text, but not for the image. I've managed to center the image using \midaligned command, like below. But the table columns width in this case is set to 50% each. And the only way I found is to add [width=50pt] to each cell. \bTABLE \bTR \bTH Operation\eTH \bTH[align=middle][width=50pt] Result\eTH \eTR \bTR \bTD HelloWorld! \eTD \bTD[width=50pt] \midaligned {\externalfigure[checkbox]} \eTD \eTR \eTABLE I'm afraid I make things too complicated. Is there a simpler way to do what I need? Thanks a lot. -- Regards. Eugene Toporov

Dear list, using mptopdf externalfigure "nue-logo-1.jpg" scaled 10; results in a figure that doesn't retain the original image ratio. The hints given on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Using_Graphics would be what I want, but don't work in metapost?! Any help would be appreciated Jan-Mark

patterns
by Hans Hagen Outside 15 Sep '04

Hi, The last few years we have encountered problems with changes in pattern files and names (dutch was dropped, czech was invalid, and us filenames also changed in undocumented ways). To get a bit more control over this can of worms, we need a test file that can be added to the tex live test suite. So, what i need is for each language a couple of words that hyphenate in unique ways (i.e. they must hyphenate differently than related languages) \language[xx] \hyphenatedword{..} can be used to test Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

CMAP and IL2 encoding
by Vit Zyka 15 Sep '04

15 Sep '04

Nice Sunday evening Hans, I played with ToUnicode resource (for correct copy&paste and search opperation in PDF). I noticed a package cmap.sty was done by Mr. Volovich for LaTeX a year ago; I did one (cmap.tex) for plain TeX yesterday and started to be interested in the situation in ConTeXt. No wonder you did it 4 years ago. But I met some minor problems: 1) if you run example file \useencoding[pfr] \setupbodyfont[csr] \starttext test \`z \'z \bf test \sl test \bs quite funny \`z \page test \`z \'z \bf test \sl test \bs quite funny \`z \page \stoptext you obtain /ToUnicode resource ONLY for first roman variant. It is due to a condition in the file enco-pfr.tex \def\doincludepdffontresource {\ifcsname\s!ucmap\fontfile\endcsname\else \dodoincludepdffontresource \fi} The condition is correct but the \fontfile is not changed when \bf, \it, etc. is used (it is still cscsc10 (?)). Might you look at a proper \fontfile definition? 2) Technical note: in ConTeXt the il2 encoding is defined. But the definition is not ISO-8859-2 (Latin 2, IL2) encoding sharp. The definition is CS font encoding (IL2cs or 8z). It is derived from il2 but it differ in 49 positions (!). For usage in Czech or Slovac languages it causes no problem but what if somebody will want to use a proper il2 font? If you want I can prepare both IL2 and (a bit richer) il2cs (8z?) enco-??.tex files. 3) File pdfr-il2.tex with CMAP definition is proper IL2 mapping. So now we combine IL2 CMAP mapping with IL2cs ConTeXt encoding. It is nosence. Suggested solution: use csr fonts with new IL2cs encoding and create new pdfr-il2cs.tex. 4) Definitions of CMAP encodings are stored in pdfr-??.tex files - it means in TeX format. But the common way is to be a stand-alone PS file, see attachement. Now I know about 5 files from Mr. Volovich (Cork, 3 russian, vietnamese) and two from me (IL2, IL2cs). Such file can be easily included by \pdfobj stream file {} mechanism. Question: I can prepare pdfr-il2cs.tex but is it not better to use more standard stand-alone files in ConTeXt? Vit Zyka

Setting up a typeface
by Ulrich Dirr 15 Sep '04

15 Sep '04

Hi, I've now studied the docs for a while and experimenting with a bunch of settings but I'm still failing setting up typefaces correctly in ConTeXt. Probably the font mechanism in ConTeXt is much more elaborate than with LaTeX's NFSS. But I'm too stupid to understand it :-( Could someone please help me? My test case -- and it will be the sans serif part of my wish list -- should setup the Linotype HelveticaNeue as body font. The main part is not very difficult to achieve. The test file: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- \setupoutput [pdftex] \input pdftexconfig \usetypescriptfile [type-NeueHelvetica] \usetypescript[HelveticaNeue][ec] \setupbodyfont[HelveticaNeueLT,ss,10pt] \starttext \showbodyfontenvironment[HelveticaNeueLT] \showbodyfont[HelveticaNeueLT] \stoptext ------------------------------------------------------------------------- type-NeueHelvetica.tex: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- \starttypescript [sans] [HelveticaNeue] [name] \definefontsynonym [Sans] [HelveticaNeueLT-Roman] \definefontsynonym [SansItalic] [HelveticaNeueLT-Italic] \definefontsynonym [SansBold] [HelveticaNeueLT-Bold] \definefontsynonym [SansBoldItalic] [HelveticaNeueLT-BoldItalic] [...] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [sans] [HelveticaNeue] [ec] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-Roman] [lhnr8t] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-Italic] [lhnri8t] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-Bold] [lhnb8t] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-BoldItalic] [lhnbi8t] [encoding=ec] [...] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [HelveticaNeue][ec] \usetypescript [sans] [HelveticaNeue] [name] \usetypescript [sans] [HelveticaNeue] [size] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [HelveticaNeue] [ec] \definetypeface [HelveticaNeueLT] [ss] [sans] [HelveticaNeue] [default] [encoding=ec] \stoptypescript ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The next step should define destinct sizes for use in a project. And here I'm always failing. I've tried, e.g., \definebodyfontenvironment [9bp] [ text=9bp, script=7bp, scriptscript=5bp, x=7bp, xx=5bp, big=11bp, small=7bp, interlinespace=11bp] or, e.g., \starttypescript [sans] [HelveticaNeue] [size] \definebodyfont [10bp] [ss] [tf=Sans at 10bp, bf=SansBold, it=SansItalic, sl=SansItalic, bi=SansBoldItalic, bs=SansBoldItalic] \stoptypescript in all sizes I want, with and without definitions of \definebodyfont, but never got what I want. How can I setup my typeface (regular, bold, etc.) to use the specific sizes 5,6,7,8,9.5,10,12,14,18,24,28 *bp*??? (And with correct dependencies) I'm definitely not understanding how the general scheme works. And all examples I've found always use the standard font sizes and the standard measurement units. Please help me! Best regards, Ulrich Dirr P.S. are there predefined shortcuts for heavy, light, etc. variants?

Problems with Acrobat Reader, animation, sound, JavaScript etc.
by Michal Kvasnicka 14 Sep '04

14 Sep '04

Good morning. I'd like to ask a little off-topic questions but closely related to ConTeXt. I'm sorry I bother you with this, but I need it. My interest is not purely academic. I'd like to prepare fully interactive documents for my students to work with at home and prepare to my classes. My questions are like this: Theoretically, PDF can contain sound, movie, and JavaScript. 1) In practise, the movie plugin I have found only in the Acrobat Reader 5.x under Windoze; in Linux and in Adobe Reader 6.0 under Windoze it was not present. Can I download it somewhere? 2) What are limits of QuickTime JPeg in the PDF? It worked with a movie included in the QuickTime viewer under Windoze, but not with a movie from my digital camera (Olympus C730UZ). How can I convert it (for free)? 3) How can I include sounds to my PDF? Does it work with all Readers under all platforms, or not? What do I need to install? 4) Some JavaScripts work only under Windoze, not under Linux. Why? How can I fix that? Mr. Hagen's clock example, and Mr. Gundlach euro-anim example are just two cases. 5) Does Adobe still support Linux? There is a reader version 6.0 for Windoze, but only 5.0.9 for Linux. 6) If I want to learn how to use JavaScript in the ConTeXt, what Adobe document should I read first? Is somewhere explained to integrate it in the ConTeXt (more that the widgets manual)? Many thanks for any hint. I apologize one more for this slightly off-topic questions. M.K.

Protruding & Utopia italic
by SebastianSturm＠t-online.de 14 Sep '04

14 Sep '04

Hi, I'm using the Utopia/Fourier setup \setupfontsynonym [fourier][handling=normal] \setupfontsynonym [Serif][handling=normal] \setupfonthandling [normal][left=1,right=1] \usetypescript [fourier][ec] \setupbodyfont [fourier,10pt] \setupalign [hanging] and it works great so far, except that protruding seems to be disabled when typesetting in \italic or slanted style. How can I activate hanging alignment of italicized text? I'd also like to know how to use the \mathcal-Alphabet included in the Fourier package. $\text{\cal{...}}$ only generates the standard calligraphic letters known from Computer Modern. BTW, I'm using the latest i-Installer version of ConTeXt/teTeX on OS X. (Console displays ConTeXt ver: 2004.1.13 fmt: 2004.6.25 int: english mes: english) Best regards, Sebastian Sturm

Another question regarding Fourier
by SebastianSturm＠t-online.de 09 Sep '04

09 Sep '04

Hi, I noticed that \rightrightarrows still produces the CM double arrows when using the Fourier fonts. I know that it is possible to combine two single arrows and position them vertically using \raise and \lower, but I guess that there has to be some less clumsy solution. Or maybe the Fourier distribution is already supposed to include double arrows, in which case it would be a configuration issue? Best regards, Sebastian Sturm

baseline alignment
by Vit Zyka 09 Sep '04

Hallo, for text positioning in a layer I needed alignment to baseline. I do not known if I missed something but I did not find it in the current ConTeXt. So I did that. Baseline is choosen by capital 'B' in the position parameter. ('B' is adopted from grahicx LaTeX/plain package.) Also I add \ctop, \ltop, and \rtop in sence of \cbox, \lbox, and rbox, respectively. I suggest to add the macros to core-box and supp-box.

column balancing question
by Michal Kvasnicka 09 Sep '04

09 Sep '04

Good morning. One reason for me to switch to ConTeXt were its macros for typesetting in columns that are highly superior to any such macro I have ever seen. (I typeset almost all my documnts in two columns.) But I am not able to supress one strange feature: some pages are one more line longer than they should be. It happen randomly -- or at least I was not able to find out when it happens. Therefore I'm not able to prepare an minimal file. I thougth that setting \widowpenalty=0 \clubpenalty=0 \brokenpenalty=0 \normalbottom may help, but it does not. Can you tell me how to fix this very problem? Well, it does so on all versions of ConTeXt I have ever tried and both with teTeX and TeXLive distribution. Many thanks for your attention and help. Yours Michal Kvasnicka P.S. my document setting is like this (some example can be found at http://www.econ.muni.cz/~qasar/tmp/delba_prace.pdf) % output=pdf \setupbodyfont[ss,10pt] \setuplayout [topspace=2cm, height=fit, lines=55, backspace=15mm, width=fit, margin=0pt, header=3\baselineskip, footer=0pt, grid=yes] \setuppagenumbering[location=] \setupheader[style={\em}] \setupheadertexts[Axel Leijonhufvud: Jednotlivec, trh a průmyslová dělba práce][pagenumber] \setupindenting[medium] \indenting[first] \setupfootnotes [location=columns, rule=off, before={\blank[3*line,small]}, after=] \setupfootnotedefinition [location=left,width=fit, sample={\mathematics{\star\star\star}\ },hang=1] \setupcolumns[balance=no] \widowpenalty=0 \clubpenalty=0 \brokenpenalty=0 \setuphead[section] [number=no, style={\bf}, before={\blank[3*line]}, after={\blank[line]}, indentnext=yes]

row background (TABLE)
by Peter Rolf 08 Sep '04

Hello, I need a way to set the background for a complete row in the TABLE environment. TABLE uses \framed for every single entry. But if I set the framed parameters right after \bTR, it sets the defaults for all the \bTD \eTD entries and not for that row. See example below to give you an idea.

concatenate PDF files.
by Paulo Ney de Souza 07 Sep '04

07 Sep '04

I am looking for a way to concatenate several PDF files, and found this e-mail from Hans: http://www.tug.org/pipermail/pdftex/2001-January/000240.html saying that "texexec" can do it in several ways! and to look on the web-site, texexec manual and the mailing list for directions. I went to the manual first and found only ONE: texexec --pdfarrange --noduplex --paper=S6 file-a file-b but that nullified all links I had in my files, and changed the opening from from FitVisible to something else (all files were FitVisible). Next I went to two other sources he mentioned and Googled for: "-ntg-context concatenate pdf" did not yield much beyond that, and neither did Googling http://www.pragma-ade.com/ for the words "concatenate" or "combine". So does anyne know how to use "texexec" to concatenate two PDF files and preseve as much of the file as possible (links, opening format, ...) ? Paulo Ney

footnotes (short: behind, long: below)?
by Steffen Wolfrum 05 Sep '04

05 Sep '04

Hi, is there a predefined command for placing short footnotes at the bottom of each page but horizontally continuos? Is saw this way of typesetting footnotes in an "old" (seventies)-typeset philosophical book. It looks likes this: body text body text body text body text body bo- dy text body text body. ------ 1 short 2 short 3 too 4 short 5 but hey: the long note starts in a new line! I have never seen footnotes like this before. But it reads very pleasant: This way you don't have lot of empty white space (withs short notes), and it still is very clear (for the long footnote starts on a new line). Is it possible to typeset this in ConTeXt? Steffen

[FONTS] Japanese Unicode
by Nikolai Weibull 04 Sep '04

04 Sep '04

I'm trying to get some Japanese ideographs in my document, but haven't succeeded yet. Basically, what I've done is used Adam Lindsay's XSL-T stuff for creating an .enc for my .ttf (mona.ttf) and then run texfont to install the font in /usr/share/texmf/local/fonts. Now, I can't get the test .tex-file working because I get Warning: pdfetex (file cork-lmr10): Font cork-lmr10 at 600 not found {/usr/share/texmf/dvips/tetex/bbad153f.enc}</usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/bluesk y/cm/cmsy7.pfb>{/usr/share/texmf/dvips/tetex/aae443f0.enc}</usr/share/texmf/fon ts/type1/bluesky/cm/cmmi10.pfb>{/usr/share/texmf/dvips/tetex/0ef0afca.enc}</usr /share/texmf/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm/cmr5.pfb>{/usr/share/texmf/dvips/tetex/74af c74c.enc}</usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm/cmti10.pfb></usr/share/texmf/ fonts/type1/public/marvosym/marvosym.pfb>{/usr/share/texmf/dvips/tetex/f7b6d320 .enc}</usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm/cmr8.pfb></usr/share/texmf/fonts/ type1/bluesky/cm/cmsy10.pfb></usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm/cmr6.pfb> Warning: pdfetex (file mona30xx-raw-mona): Font mona30xx-raw-mona at 600 not fo und from it. Now, these are only warnings, so I tried showing it with gpdf (xpdf), ggv, and acroread for linux. Nothing worked correctly, and only gpdf was able to show anything at all (albeit it wasn't right). So I figured I'd try it myself. I wrote the following type-mone30xx.tex: \starttypescript[serif][mona30] \definefontsynonym[Mona30-Roman][mona30xx-mona][encoding=mona30xx] \stoptypescript \starttypescript[serif][mona30][name] \definefontsynonym[Serif][Mona30-Roman] \stoptypescript \starttypescript[Mona30] \definetypeface[Mona30][rm][serif][mona30][default] \stoptypescript and test.tex: \useregime[utf8] \usetypescriptfile[type-mona30] \usetypescript[Mona30] \setupbodyfont[Mona30] \starttext オ \stoptext Guess what...the resulting PDF is completely empty. Could someone _please_ tell me what I'm missing? I know I've been asking a lot of questions lately and perhaps most could have been answered by me delving deeper into the problem. The issue for me right now, though, is that I'm really stressed for time, as I need to get my masters' thesis done soon, and a lot is working against me at the moment. So, again, if you can help out in any way, _please_ do. nikolai -- ::: name: Nikolai Weibull :: aliases: pcp / lone-star / aka ::: ::: born: Chicago, IL USA :: loc atm: Gothenburg, Sweden ::: ::: page: www.pcppopper.org :: fun atm: gf,lps,ruby,lisp,war3 ::: main(){printf(&linux["\021%six\012\0"],(linux)["have"]+"fun"-97);}

TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [save size=40000] error
by Samuel Pelletier 02 Sep '04

02 Sep '04

Hi, I have a long (4333 lines) natural table document that refuse to compose. Initialy, I had an "TeX capacity exceeded" message for "hash size" but it seems that I figured how to bypass it by changing the texmf.cnf file. Now I have a "! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [save size=40000]." error and I have not figured out how to increase this parameter. The only place with a similar name is inside the texmf.cnf file but changing it does not : save_size = 150000 % was 50000 % for saving values outside current group I issue a texexec --make --all but the message is still there. Is there any way to get rid of this one? > !

I can't find anything wrong (for without greek it works fine). Maybe you want to have a short look: This is my test document: \usetypescriptfile[type-agaramondmini.tex] \usetypescript[AGaramondOldStyle] \setupencoding[default=ec] \setupbodyfont[AGaramondOldStyle,10.2pt] % whithout these four line the greek was ok. now its empty. \usemodule[greek] \mainlanguage[english] \starttext We can easily use plain English for normal text, and then switch to greek when we want; as a first try we type the lower and upper case 26 letters of the latin alphabet and see how they come out in greek: \startgreek a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z \par A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z \stopgreek As it can be observed, some uppercase letters have strange outcomes; also, j gives \greek{j} and c gives the end-of-word sigma \greek{c}; interestingly, s gives either the normal sigma or the end-of-word one, depending on whether it's at the end of the word or not: \greek{satrapws}. \stoptext And this is my typescriptfile type-agaramondmini.tex: \starttypescript [serif] [agaramond-oldstyle] [ec] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-Regular] [padr9e] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-Italic] [padri9e] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-Bold] [padb9e] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-BoldItalic] [padbi9e] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-Semibold] [pads9e] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-SemiboldItalic] [padsi9e] [encoding=ec] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [agaramond-oldstyle] [name] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [AGaramond-Regular] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [AGaramond-Bold] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [AGaramond-Italic] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [AGaramond-BoldItalic] \definefontsynonym [SemiBold] [AGaramond-Semibold] \definefontsynonym [SemiBoldItalic] [AGaramond-SemiboldItalic] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [AGaramondOldStyle] \definetypeface [AGaramondOldStyle] [rm] [serif] [agaramond-oldstyle] [default] [encoding=ec] \stoptypescript Sorry, but what should be changed?

Sure, THIS one works. But what I was asking for was how to change the font for all the english text (all the non-greek)? My attempt was to start the document with: \usetypescriptfile[type-agaramond.tex] \usetypescript[AGaramondOldStyle] \setupencoding[default=ec] \setupbodyfont[AGaramondOldStyle,10.2pt] (... and then continue as you have pasted below) But this gives the error I had sent. I hope the problem is clearer now. Can you help to find a solution?

Ancient Greek (bodyfont conflict?)
by Steffen Wolfrum 02 Sep '04

02 Sep '04

Hi, In "s-grk-00.tex" is defined "\switchtobodyfont[cbgreek]". So why doesn't it work to define a body font for the normal AND use this module for switching to greek? Steffen P.S. Please have a look at this wellknown example. With the first four lines added the greek parts get empty: \def\typescriptfiles{type-agaramond.tex} \usetypescript[AGaramondOldStyle] \setupencoding[default=ec] \setupbodyfont[AGaramondOldStyle,10.2pt] % The following sample file was submitted to the \CONTEXT\ % mailing list by Giuseppe Bilotta, along with the right % typescripts. \usemodule[greek] \mainlanguage[english] \starttext We can easily use plain English for normal text, and then switch to greek when we want; as a first try we type the lower and upper case 26 letters of the latin alphabet and see how they come out in greek: \startgreek a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z \par A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z \stopgreek As it can be observed, some uppercase letters have strange outcomes; also, j gives \greek{j} and c gives the end-of-word sigma \greek{c}; interestingly, s gives either the normal sigma or the end-of-word one, depending on whether it's at the end of the word or not: \greek{satrapws}. Of course we can use the various diacritical signs: accents (\greek{`a, 'a, ~a}), breathings (\greek{<r, >w, a"}) and subscribed iotas (\greek{a|, h|, w|}) (these last are pretty ugly in my opinion); observe how they automatically get the correct position with uppercase letters: (\greek{`A, 'A, ~A, <A, >A, A|}). Can the thing be used for serious work? \startgreek >>'Andra moi >'ennepe, Mo~usa, pol'utropon, >'os m'ala poll`a\hfill\break pl'agqjh, >epe`i Tro'ihs <er`on ptol'iejron >'eperse;\hfill\break poll~wn d" >anjr'wpwn >'iden >'astea ka`i n'oon >'egnw,\hfill\break poll`a d" <'o g" >en p'ontw| p'ajen >'algea <`on kat`a jum'on,\hfill\break >>arn'umenos <'hn te yuq`hn ka`i n'oston <eta'irwn. \stopgreek \stoptext

alpha version low level english
by Hans Hagen 01 Sep '04

Hi, I uploaded the upcoming release, http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/alpha This version is low level english (commands, keywords, values). It is possible that some functionality is not working, but as far as i can see most should work as expected. If you find low level dutch in the source code, (1) if it is dramatic, let me know asap, (2) if it's just an indirect command, collect them first. For Taco: you need to adapt your m-* modules! (I'll send you a script that will make it a bit more comfortable, but some manual work may be needed).

verbatim pseudo-code

I would like to create a verbatim environment for writing pseudo-code in. Anyone have any suggestions/hints on how to go about it. I've looked at verb-*.tex, but they don't enlighten much.

Re: Footnotes in margin? (HELP!)
by Steffen Wolfrum 31 Aug '04

31 Aug '04

Maybe the wrong height is calculated? When we have the normal situation footnote per page, the space available is spilt for text and footnotes. In our margin construction now it seems to be still the same. When we would use the footnotes as endnotes, TeX would calculated the text per page for the entire height. So is it possible to define the space that is available per page (for text + footnote) as a combination of the normal height plus the space in the margin? I don't have an idea how to code this in plain TeX (or whatever language is used for ConTeXt), but maybe someone else knows?

\setupinteractionscreen and translation failure
by Mojca Miklavec 31 Aug '04

31 Aug '04

Since my last MikTeX update (pdfeTeX 3.141592-1.20a-rc7.1-2.1, ConTeXt 2004.8.15) the line \setupinteractionscreen[option=max] doesn't have any effect any more (the same .tex document as before produces diffrent output - I can't get the whole-screen output any more). *** *** *** *** *** The second question concerns the translations of ConTeXt support for some other languages. I've added Slovenian translations to 'lang-sla.tex' and added a couple of lines to 'cont-usr.tex'. However: I don't know how to enable it. I tried with texexec --make --alone --all, but it complains: > Undefined control sequence. > <argument> \??la \s!sl \c!status > ... > l.108 \c!status=\v!stop] Did I miss any other files, did I make any mistake in my translations, is there any other command to be executed first? Or maybe just any of my local files or settings corrupted? I also don't know what exactly to do to fully support the three special letters (and their uppercase equvalent) č,š,ž,Č,Š,Ž (\v{c},\v{s},\v{z}, ...). In 'cont-usr.tex' I simply copied \installlanguage [\s!sl] [\s!mapping={il2,ec},\s!encoding={il2,ec}] although I have no idea if it is correct or not. In LaTeX I use \usepackage[cp1250]{inputenc} (or latin2 or utf8, depending on the operating system and editor), but \useencoding and/or translate=cp1250cz in ConTeXt seem to have no effect (they do work for German äöü, but not for our strange signs). Thanks a lot, Mojca Miklavec

bug in mp
by Hans Hagen 29 Aug '04

29 Aug '04

Hi, I'm currently translating all commands in the sources to english; for that i use metafun as test file. In the process I ran into a metapost fuzziness: var_123456 is not handled ok, since mp scans numbers due to the way it implements arrays. This may result in problems with transparency factors. I made a workaround, but will (can) only upload when i think that the english translations went ok. If you run into problems i can post a metafun fix.

ConTeXt and XML: entities and attributes
by Michael Guravage 27 Aug '04

27 Aug '04

I have two questions, both concerning typesetting XML with conTeXt. The first questioin is about how ConTeXt handles entity declarations and reference. The following bit of XML declares and references four parameter entities. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE TEI.2 PUBLIC "-//TEI P4//ELEMENTS TEI Lite XML ver. 1//EN" "http://www.tei-c.org/Lite/DTD/teixlite.dtd"[ <!ENTITY % ISOlat1 SYSTEM 'http://www.tei-c.org/Entity_Sets/Unicode/iso-lat1.ent'> %ISOlat1; <!ENTITY % ISOlat2 SYSTEM 'http://www.tei-c.org/Entity_Sets/Unicode/iso-lat2.ent'> %ISOlat2; <!ENTITY % ISOnum SYSTEM 'http://www.tei-c.org/Entity_Sets/Unicode/iso-num.ent'> %ISOnum; <!ENTITY % ISOpub SYSTEM 'http://www.tei-c.org/Entity_Sets/Unicode/iso-pub.ent'> %ISOpub; <!ENTITY moe SYSTEM 'moe.xml'> ]> ConTeXt does not typeset the declarations, but does typeset the references, i.e. the first line in the typeset result is: %ISOlat1;%ISOlat2;%ISOnum;%ISOpub; Has anyone seen this before, and has anyone an opinion how it should be fixed? My second question concerns tag attributes. The following bit of XML code contains two catRef tags, each with two attributes: <profileDesc> <textClass> <catRef scheme="period" target="early"/> <catRef scheme="Stooges" target="Moe Larry Curly"/> </textClass> </profileDesc> Can someone please suggest how I can process these and grab scheme and target attributes so that the final typeset result looks something like this: Period: early Stooges: Moe, Larry, Curly Thanks in advance for your help.

concatenate PDF files.
by Paulo Ney de Souza 27 Aug '04

27 Aug '04

I am looking for a way to concatenate several PDF files, and found this e-mail from Hans: http://www.tug.org/pipermail/pdftex/2001-January/000240.html saying that "texexec" can do it in several ways! and to look on the web-site, texexec manual and the mailing list for directions. I went to the manual first and found only ONE: texexec --pdfarrange --noduplex --paper=S6 file-a file-b but that nullified all links I had in my files, and changed the opening from from FitVisible to something else (all files were FitVisible). Next I went to two other sources he mentioned and Googled for: "-ntg-context concatenate pdf" did not yield much beyond that, and neither did Googling http://www.pragma-ade.com/ for the words "concatenate" or "combine". So does anyne know how to use "texexec" to concatenate two PDF files and preseve as much of the file as possible (links, opening format, ...) ? Paulo Ney

Columnset Areas - Background Color ?
by Miguel Queiros 27 Aug '04

Hi ! I've been trying to use columnsets with columnsetareas but I haven't been able to define a background color for the text in the columnset area. You can see the problem in the pdf I've attached (area5.pdf). I'v created a small example of the problem: area5.tex As far as I recall I've also tried to use a columnset span but the problem was the same. Can anyone provide me with some hints so that I can use some background color in columnsetareas ? Thanks, Miguel Queirós

That's not the problem. Don't forget that I just posted a minimal example to show the generel effect as also seen by Willi. In my documents the figures are different of course: the footnote size is smaller, the margin space higher etc. So it's not the problem that the footnotes don't fit. It's more that they are *still below* the text as before - now as empty space. (You can easily make the test: Take a regular document with footnotes per page below the text. Then use the code to get the footnotes in the margin. You will see that the body text doesn't change at all. It's just the notes moving and leaving empty space behind) Steffen

Hello Moses (uh ...

No, it's simply due to the fact that I haven't even bother to check if it were or not, because I didn't care either way :) The parameters are there. We'd only have to check how to use it within the ConTeXt spacing framework. -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

Re: Footnotes in margin? (HELP!)

Hi Willi, that's also what I experienced: the code works with very small footnotes. I am working now on a thesis with kind of normal equipment: Some hundred pages, about 900 footnotes with lots of them quite long (seems to be normal nowadays for art-historians). So what to do?

nath problems and patches
by Christopher Creutzig 25 Aug '04

25 Aug '04

Giuseppe, you may or may not know about these problems already, so I decided to simply send them all. I'm using t-nath.tex 2003.12.08, updated five minutes ago from www.tug.org, ConTeXt 2004.6.26, and pdfeTeX 3.14159-1.10b-2.1 (Web2C 7.4.5). nath seems to have trouble with $$...$$-formulas. This file won't compile: \usemodule[nath] \starttext \placeformula $$a$$ \stoptext Error message: Runaway argument? \@@dollar {\to \asciiB \ExpandBothAfter \doifincsnameelse \asciiA \asciiB \ETC. ! File ended while scanning use of \convertargument. Replacing $$...$$ by \startformula...\stopformula fixes this, but the following file won't compile either: \usemodule[nath] \starttext \placeformula \startformula \sum_{i=0}^m a_i\stopformula \stoptext The culprit, it seems, is that \inlinemath uses \xdef, but \mathop@@@ puts unexpandable code into the argument of ^ and _. The following hackery seems to work: \def\mathop@@@{% \ifsp@ ^{\hbox{\edef\noexpand\!!stringa% {\noexpand\noexpand\noexpand\imath@{\the\sp@toks}}% \def\noexpand\\{,\ }\noexpand\!!stringa}} \fi \ifsb@ _{\hbox{\edef\noexpand\!!stringa% {\noexpand\noexpand\noexpand\imath@{\the\sb@toks}}% \def\noexpand\\{,\ }\noexpand\!!stringa}} \fi} Though I must confess I don't understand why the complexity with introducing \!!stringa is needed. The following version works for me: \def\mathop@@@{% \pushmacro\\ \def\\{\noexpand\text{, }}% \ifsp@ ^{\the\sp@toks}% \fi \ifsb@ _{\the\sb@toks}% \fi \popmacro\\} Parentheses in display formulas don't work: \usemodule[nath] \starttext \startformula (x) \stopformula \stoptext I don't know if at some time ConTeXt placed \the\everymath inside \everydisplay, but with the current ConTeXt, you need to \appendtoks to both. I regard the output as broken, but at least it will compile. Another bug: t-nath.tex defines \savecatcode and \restorecatcode, but these names have already been used in verb-ini.tex. I have locally replaced these with \nath!savecatcode and \nath!restorecatcode, seems to work. A math problem not related to nath: \starttext \setupformulae[align=left] \startformula \eqalignno{a&=b\cr c&=d} \stopformula \stoptext doesn't work for me. Anyone else?

Hans, I don't know what crazy stuff Idris is using this footnotes for, but for my case it went absolutely horrible: Almost every page gets half empty!! It looks like the footnotes are just moved to the margin - leaving empty space, without the body text comes flush bottom again. I'm sure my publisher won't be amused about all this empty paper... It tried to send a minimal example and changed just the text between \starttext and \stoptext. Maybe there is something that could be changed in order to get the main text in flush bottom shape again AND keep the corresponding footnotes in the margin?

nath catcode issues
by Nikolai Weibull 25 Aug '04

25 Aug '04

It seems that the code to enable catcode handling in nath math mode isn't working. Currently, nath uses \appendtoks % \livechars@ \def({\delim@l 1\ch@lparenthesis} \def){\delim@r 1\ch@rparenthesis} \def[{\delim@l 1\o@lbrack} \def]{\delim@r 1\o@rbrack} \def>{\gt} \def<{\lt} \def!{\factorial} \def,{\@comma} \def;{\@semicolon} \def`{\abbreviation} % \killchars@ \to\everymath to set it up, but as far as I can see this doesn't actually do anything as \@comma doesn't get invoked for commas and \dots always renders like \cdots. Am I missing something perhaps? Furthermore, \def\over{\n@err{Disabled command \string\over } {No more a valid command. Replace {A \over B} with \frac A B.}} \def\atop{\n@err{Disabled command \string\atop } {No more a valid command. Use array instead.}} \def\choose{\n@err{Disabled command \string\choose } {No more a valid command. Replace {A \choose B} with \binom A B.}} also messes up stuff in core-ref.tex for example: ! Disabled command \over. \n@err ...rrhelp \expandafter {#2}\errmessage {#1} \natherrormark l.46 \indent\inchapter[definitions], \about [definitions], covers the definit... ? Which I don't quite understand, but core-ref.tex has the line \definecommand over {\dospecialover} which I suppose could be troublesome. nikolai -- ::: name: Nikolai Weibull :: aliases: pcp / lone-star / aka ::: ::: born: Chicago, IL USA :: loc atm: Gothenburg, Sweden ::: ::: page: www.pcppopper.org :: fun atm: gf,lps,ruby,lisp,war3 ::: main(){printf(&linux["\021%six\012\0"],(linux)["have"]+"fun"-97);}

Announcing a new script: TeXVersion
by Taco Hoekwater 25 Aug '04

25 Aug '04

Hi, Sometimes I find it quite hard to discover what version of TeX + ConTeXt I am actually running. As an aid in debugging problems, I have created a Perl script that attempts to collect all relevant version information and prints it to the screen in an organized manner. Running it will generate output like this: TeXVersion 0.1 / Taco Hoekwater 2004 texexec : TeXExec 4.4 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2004 texutil : TeXUtil 7.4 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2002 tex : pdfeTeX, 3.14159-1.10b-2.1 (Web2C 7.4.5) context : ver: 2004.8.15 cont-en : ver: 2003.1.31 fmt: 2004.6.19 mes: english If you are interested, you can download the script from http://tex.aanhet.net/context/scripts/ This functionality will eventually become part of texexec. -- groeten, Taco

Footnotes in margin (again)

Hi, as the dust has settled over the ancient greeks I would like to re-ask a posting that is about another quite crucial question: How to place footnotes in the margin?

ConTeXt and slides
by Thomas A.Schmitz 24 Aug '04

24 Aug '04

Hi gang, I'm trying to figure out whether it's whorthwhile to write slides for my presentations in ConTeXt instead of using Powerpoint or Keynote (I'm not an engineer or a scientist, so maths doesn't matter). I have cooked up a nice-looking template without too many frills that kind of copies what I used to do in Keynote (shaded background, footers etc.). There's one important thing I can't get to work: is it possible to have a picture and a text next to it with the text being centered horizontally and vertically like so? picturepicturepicture picturepicturepicture picturepicturepicture Here picturepicturepicture goes all the picturepicturepicture text picturepicturepicture picturepicturepicture What I tried is this: \startfiguretext[left]{none}{\externalfigure[picture]} \vfill \midaligned{Here} \midaligned{goes all the} \midaligned{text} \vfill \stopfiguretext but that doesn't work. I also tried things like \framed and \startcombinations (calling the text from a buffer), but all in vain. There doesn't seem to be an easy mechanism for centering stuff vertically in ConTeXt? Any help would be appreciated! Best Thomas

Referencing eqalignno-formulas, and some more
by Eeri Kask 24 Aug '04

24 Aug '04

Hello, I started using context recently and have encountered some difficulties where I need some help to get over. (1) References in math formulas: \placeformula [Ref] \startformula \eqalignno { ... } \stopformula It seems that referencing to '\eqalignno'-formulas needs some tricks. Is there any (non-)documented way to attach a reference to a line inside '\eqalignno' multiline formula? E.g. a mechanism like \xxx[Ref] \eqalignno { ... f(x) &= x^n - 1 & \xxx[Ref] \cr ... } so one can point to \in{formula}[Ref] and get the correct reference number subsituted? (2) Left/right margins of different width in doublesided layout: I invented my favorite layout as in \setuplayout [location={doublesided,duplex}, marking=off, top=6mm, topdistance=6mm, bottom=6mm, bottomdistance=18mm, topspace=18mm, height=243mm, header=6mm, headerdistance=6mm, footer=6mm, footerdistance=18mm, backspace=46mm, width=124mm, leftmargin=12mm, leftmargindistance=4mm, leftedge=2mm, leftedgedistance=2mm, rightmargin=28mm, rightmargindistance=4mm, rightedge=6mm, rightedgedistance=2mm ] \setuppapersize [A4][A4] \setuppagenumbering [style=normal, alternative=doublesided, location={footer,middle}] \showframe and if '\showframe' is active I can verify by ruler that all distances and measures etc. are drawn correctly according to both sides of the printed sheet. (Though it remains to be investigated why only 'backspace=46mm' gives 26mm whitespace at the left paper edge, i.e. the distance from the left paper edge to the left edge of the 'leftedge'.) :-) Putting \inmargin{Some text} on evennumbered pages (in a doublesided setup) shows margin area width as in 'leftmargin' in '\setuplayout'; shouldn't it adapt itself according to doublesided layout as the margin frame does in '\showframe'? (3) Math formulas in footnotes result in "Math formula deleted: Insufficient symbol fonts." I have the same style for margins and footnotes (I hope the following setup does this as was my intention), \setupfootnotes [style=\tfx\setupinterlinespace] \setupinmargin [style=\tfx\setupinterlinespace, align=right] and in typesetting formulas in margins this error doesn't occur, i.e. there are sufficient symbol fonts available (whatever it means) :-) I am using Adobe Utopia text with Palatino math fonts. (4) HZ-algorithm. This, as well as metafun positional graphics and metapost color transparency, was the reason I started trying out context. My understanding is, HZ gets activated not with \font\tenrm=cmr10 at 10pt stretch 30 shrink 20 step 10 as documented in 'pre-hz.pdf' at PRAGMA-ADE but using \pdffontexpand\tenrm 30 20 10 1000 as I noticed somewhere. The question is, are *.tfm files like cmr10-20.tfm cmr10-10.tfm cmr10+10.tfm cmr10+20.tfm cmr10+30.tfm enough to get it going, and can be generated manually from *.afm files using 'afm2tfm'? Though, '\pdffontexpand\tenrm 30 20 10 1000' results in "Missing font identifier." in context... :-) I am using Context 2003.1.31 with pdfetex 1.10a-2.1 as in tetex 2.0.1 distributed in SuSE Linux 8.2. Thanks in advance for any help, item (1) is most critical, though. Eeri Kask

Metapost and TeX [OT]
by skhilji＠tampabay.rr.com 24 Aug '04

24 Aug '04

I don't have any experience in metapost. I would appreciate if someone would please answer this question without me having to do thru tutorials and metapost source code. I was wondering how does metapost talk to TeX? Quicky glancing through the metafun book, I found out that you can super-impose text typeset by TeX on top of a diagram. I imagine you could do the same with mathematical equations too. So how does metapost interact with TeX? Let me guess: 1) Metapost could first write down to a file the text that it wan't TeX to typeset. It could then run TeX on the file. TeX produces a DVI file and metapost reads it back. It can then superimpose it on top of a picture. 2) Metapost could also be including within itself a simplified version of TeX. But that would be reinventing the wheel. So how does it happen in reality? The reason that I am asking is that I am interested in producing some diagrams using the libHARU PDF library (a C++ library to produce PDF files). Beautiful Text support, however, is missing from the library. I was wondering if I could hack it up so that I could somehow use TeX for the text part and C++ calls for the graphics part.

Re: texutil "malformed UTF-8 character" error
by Duncan Hothersall 23 Aug '04

23 Aug '04

Ach. I have fixed my second problem with missing register entries - I was using a header defined as a derivative of \chapter as the heading of my table of contents, rather than a derivative of \title which it should have been. Making that change fixed things. Oddly, the output from texutil is still saying register entries : 0 -> 0 entries 0 references despite the fact that a full table of contents is now showing up. One of the reasons I didn't find how to fix this earlier was that I was looking in the wrong place, and that is partly because that message made me assume that register entries were missing, when apparently they weren't. Did I misunderstand what this message means, or is it a feedback bug? Thanks for all the help, Duncan

UTF and texutil files...
by Martin Kolařík 23 Aug '04

23 Aug '04

Hi all, if I use UTF8 for chapter or section title the UTF characters are expanded to \char XXX and this form is written into tui/tuo file. But if such character is originally placed at the end of the word after expansion and tui processing the space after end of word is read out (being a part of syntax rule \char XXX <space>). Example: "Srovnání t-skupin" in chapter in UTF text results to: "Srovn\char 225 n\char 237 t-skupin" and this processed back (e.g. into content) results to: "Srovnánít-skupin" Probably this cannot be corrected any way except patching ConTeXt itself -- but if it is possible I do not know how now :-), thanks, Martin -------- Martin Kolarik Moravske Pristroje, a.s., Masarykova 1148, Zlin 76302 tel. +420 603 498 498, fax +420 577 107 171 web: http://www.mii.cz -------- e-mail: kolarik(a)mii.cz e-mail: kolarik(a)click.cz tel. +420 603 535 593

Right, interesting - have upgraded to Perl 5.8.5, and now, having removed the \def\testbytesequence{} from cont-new.tex, the error message "malformed UTF-8 character" has gone away! Quite possibly the RedHat 9 install of Perl 5.8.0 had some default of UTF-8 mode set (though I couldn't see any evidence of it). Thanks for this Taco. Still not producing any register output, but at least that's half the problem solved. Duncan

Lucida Bright Fonts from StarOffice
by skhilji＠tampabay.rr.com 23 Aug '04

23 Aug '04

For right now, I am giving up on the postscript fonts. Lets try something else. At http://home1.vr-web.de/~was/lucidayy/, you will see some files that tell you how to use the Lucida Bright fonts that come with StartOffice 5.2 with LaTeX. I copied all the pfb and afm files from StarOffice52 into a folder. Its contents are: [khilji@localhost fonts]$ ls *.pfb hlcbot6w.pfb hlcrot6w.pfb hlhd80.pfb hlhri80.pfb hlsdo80.pfb hlsro80.pfb hlcbot80.pfb hlcrot80.pfb hlhd81.pfb hlhri81.pfb hlsdo81.pfb hlsro81.pfb hlcbot81.pfb hlcrot81.pfb hlhdi80.pfb hlsd6w.pfb hlsr6w.pfb hlcbt6w.pfb hlcrt6w.pfb hlhdi81.pfb hlsd80.pfb hlsr80.pfb hlcbt80.pfb hlcrt80.pfb hlhr80.pfb hlsd81.pfb hlsr81.pfb hlcbt81.pfb hlcrt81.pfb hlhr81.pfb hlsdo6w.pfb hlsro6w.pfb [khilji@localhost fonts]$ I also have all the *.afm files from StarOffice. Is there any way I can use these fonts with ConTeXt? If yes, where do I need to copy them and what do I rename them to? Are these fonts exactly the same as the ones that you buy from yandy.com? Also the above site says "On the other hand, only the basic font styles (roman, sans serif, typewriter) are available, whereas the fonts from Y&Y include many more variants such as true smallcaps, sans serif italic, fax, handwriting, blackletter and more)" Does CoTeXt use the other fonts that are missing? I suppose it would be legal for me to use these fonts with ConTeXt? I may have to ask someone at yandy.com. It could be possible that these fonts are supposed to be used with StarOffice and StarOffice only. Salman

Setting a maximum table/column width
by Flavio Ribeiro 23 Aug '04

23 Aug '04

Hi, The "excursion" manual describes how to use w(dim) to set a column's minimum width. Is there a way to set a column's maximum width so that text automatically wraps around? Alternatively, is there a way to set a table's maximum width so that it doesn't get wider than \textwidth? I tried using \SetTableToWidth{} at random locations but I either got errors or no improvement whatsoever. Thanks, Flavio

texutil "malformed UTF-8 character" error
by Duncan Hothersall 22 Aug '04

22 Aug '04

I'm running the latest beta on top of a TeXlive 2003 install on linux. The job I'm currently running needs various tables of contents (and a set of bookmarks) but texutil (v. 8.2) seems to be choking on the .tui file at the very end of the run with this message: TeXUtil 8.2 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2004 action : processing commands, lists and registers option : sorting IJ under Y option : converting high ASCII values input file : nubs-rg-bk.tui output file : nubs-rg-bk.tuo Malformed UTF-8 character (unexpected end of string) at /usr/TeX/texmf/scripts/context/perl/texutil.pl line 1520, <TUI> line 3.

I'm in the process of composing a minimal example file, but it's tough going and I wondered if anyone could point me in the right direction from the information in the error message. I'd be really grateful! (Impossible deadlines approach...) Thanks all. Duncan

As far as I understood I order to typeset text in xetex you have to use basically plain TeX-commands. So, when you say you're working on XeTeX drivers for ConTeXt does that mean that I can write normal context code but typeset with XeTeX instead of pdfeTeX? That would be great. Because my aim is to include polytonic greek quotes in my context document, and I setup an ideal context environment for my publications already and don't want to start with plain TeX again. So if my understanding is right, when do you think XeTeX will be available for us ConTeXt users? Steffen

Ancient Greek

Hi, I am about to edit a book with quotes in ancient (polyphonic) greek. How can this be done in ConTeXt? Searching for answers I found the long and painful thread started by Thomas A. Schmitz almost one year ago. Do we have an easier way available today? Steffen Wolfrum

Typing in Polytonic Greek
by Steffen Wolfrum 19 Aug '04

19 Aug '04

Hi, I have a font for Polytonic Greek ("athenian") installed in my ConTeXt-set and save my tex-files with utf-8 encoding (in TeXShop). Now I want to typeset a text (latin characters) with quotes in Polytonic Greek. Work is much easier for me if I will type these qoutes directly in Polytonic Greek (therefore I have a special keyboard layout from "GreekKeys"). What should I write in my tex document so that ConTeXt understands the UTF-8 glyphs that I am typing with Polytonic Greek? Steffen Wolfrum
