Hi, If you are in search for an editor: http://www.pragma-ade.com/scite/wscite.zip http://www.pragma-ade.com/scite/cscite.zip The first file has windows binaries, the second a few properties files; the context specific properties files will also be in the distribution. The tex/mp lexers are already in the official scite distribition but i fixed/adde a few things, so this version is newer. I can generate linux binaries later if there is a need for them. The cscite zip also has a preliminary (installation) manual.

inserting other pdf's
by free 30 Sep '03

30 Sep '03

Hi, I want to Know if it's possible to add others pdf files to a former one resulting from a ConteXt compilation. It's because I make technical drawings with Autocad wich are printed (at the right scale !) to a pdf file (By Distiller or Amunyi converter), and I want those in more general (text+drawings) documents. One solution is openoffice, but it's not the right place! Thanks a lot, olivier Turlier

setupcolors
by Henning Hraban Ramm 30 Sep '03

30 Sep '03

Ahoi! I installed the latest beta this afternoon, and all of my colored flowcharts went black. After some searching I recognized, that \setupcolors syntax has changed, the "system" parameter is dropped. That is, where I had \setupcolors[state=start, system=cmyk] I now must write \setupcolors[state=start, cmyk=yes, mpcmyk=yes, rgb=no] Perhaps someone can use this hint also... Hans, I thought you were a backward compatibility freak? Grüßlis vom Hraban! -- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/

XML command synonyms
by Pawel Jackowski na Onet 30 Sep '03

30 Sep '03

Hi Hans, hi Simon! First of all THANKS a lot for both of you for helpful hints and sugestions. After many tests and experiments I decided to use construction: \def\XMLsynonym#1#2{% \letcsnamecsname\csname\@@XMLelement:#1/\endcsname\csname\@@XMLelement:#2/\e ndcsname \letcsnamecsname\csname\@@XMLelement:#1\endcsname\csname\@@XMLelement:#2\end csname \letcsnamecsname\csname\@@XMLelement:/#1\endcsname\csname\@@XMLelement:/#2\e ndcsname} It works ok and suits me best since I (almost) understand HOW it works :) Using constructions which I don't understand makes me a little bit frustrated. I'll do my best to understand other constructions as well. Thanks a lot, Pawe/l

Kind of \setupfootnotes[way={bychapter,bychapterB}] ?
by Steffen Wolfrum 30 Sep '03

30 Sep '03

Hi, instead of chapters I use \definehead[LevelOneA][chapter] \definehead[LevelOneB][chapter] As I would like the footnotes numbering reset with new chapters I use \setupfootnotes[way=bychapter] But reseting just works for LevelOneA. How can this be? What would be the right way to reset by two different sections? Thank you, Steffen

minimal button width
by Peter Rolf 30 Sep '03

I want some small empty buttons with exact dimensions. Is there a way to do this with \button or must I use fields (ughh) instead? % interface=en output=pdftex % \setupinteraction[state=start] \setupcolors[state=start] \starttext \setupbuttons[strut=no, offset=overlay, framecolor=green, empty=yes] The minimum width of a button depends on the actual bodyfont size. I'm sure that there are good reasons for it. \blank[big] \switchtobodyfont[20pt] But I want smaller {\bf empty} \textreference[test]{test}buttons! \button[width=25mm, height=2.5mm]{Please, print me!}[test] \button[width=2.5mm, height=25mm]{Not this time!}[test] \blank[big] \switchtobodyfont[40pt] Help at 40pt... \button[width=25mm, height=2.5mm]{Now?}[test] \button[width=2.5mm, height=25mm]{Nope!}[test] \stoptext Regards, Peter

I also can't see the difference between \definepagebreak[chapter][empty,header,right] and \definepagebreak[chapter][yes,header,right] But the first one gives three additional pages where just one is needed, and the control over the empty page's header (empty or not) gets lost. The [yes,header,right] solution gives just the page that is needed (for the next chapter to start on a right page) and this page is empty, finally. Steffen

ConTEXT editor for ConTeXt
by Pawel Jackowski na Onet 30 Sep '03

30 Sep '03

Hi all! Sorry, if somebody have already wrote about it -- I haven't traced 'editor thread'. Yesterday I came across small, quite suitable and FREE editor named ConTEXT. This editor has many adventages (like possibility to definining own highlighting templates). The only disadventage I found is lack of regular expresions... So it is powerfull notepad rather than strong editor. Anyway, if somebody is interested in: http://fixedsys.com/context/ Regards, Pawe/l

There was no entry like this ;( But I created it (and also hash_size_def) in section MikTeX, pdfeTeX... I created new section Magic, too - and try changing other values, but nothing has effect with this size ;( I compared the simlest document in LaTeX with the simpliest document in ConTeXt - there was: - about 3000 multiletter control sequences out of 35000 in LaTeX - about 30000 ! in ConTeXt Why MikTeX don't support ConTeXt?...

Do typescripts slow down ConTeXt?
by Steffen Wolfrum 29 Sep '03

29 Sep '03

Hi, since I switched from LaTeX to ConTeXt I am wondering why ConTeXt (actually pdfeTeX, Version 3.14159-1.10b-2.1 (Web2C 7.4.5) \write18 enabled) gets so extremely slow when I use my own PostScript font. Here is my little statistics (ConTeXT with default/my font - the same in LaTeX): 1) \starttext W619Q \stoptext (5 seconds) 2) \usetypescriptfile[type-agaramond] \usetypescript[AGaramond] \setupencoding[default=ec] \setupbodyfont[AGaramond,10.5pt]% \starttext W619Q \stoptext (12 seconds) 3) \documentclass{book} \begin{document} W619Q \end{document} (less then 1 second) 4) \documentclass[pdftex]{book} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{textcomp} \usepackage[scaled,osf]{xagaramon} \begin{document} W619Q \end{document} (1 second) So it's 12 seconds compared to 5 seconds (or just 1 with LaTeX). Is this normal? Do I have a good chance that my typescript (see below) could be speeded up, or is this -unfortunately- the regular way ConTeXt deals with PostScript fonts? I'd be very happy for any help, Steffen "type-agaramond.tex" (for AGaramond Type1): \usetypescriptfile[type-buy] % \starttypescript [serif] [agaramond] [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-Regular-OSF] [padr9d] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-Italic-OSF] [padri9d] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-Bold-OSF] [padb9d] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-BoldItalic-OSF] [padbi9d] [encoding=ec] % \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-Semibold] [pads9e] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-SemiboldItalic] [padsi9e] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-Semibold-OSF] [pads9d] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-SemiboldItalic-OSF] [padsi9d] [encoding=ec] % \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-RegularSC] [padrc9e] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-SemiboldSC] [padsc9e] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-RegularSC-OSF] [padrc9d] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-SemiboldSC-OSF] [padsc9d] [encoding=ec] \stoptypescript % \starttypescript [serif] [agaramond] [name] \usetypescript[serif][fallback] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [AGaramond-Regular] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [AGaramond-Bold] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [AGaramond-Italic] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [AGaramond-BoldItalic] \definefontsynonym [SemiBold] [AGaramond-Semibold] \definefontsynonym [SemiBoldItalic] [AGaramond-SemiboldItalic] \definefontsynonym [SerifCaps] [AGaramond-RegularSC] \definefontsynonym [SerifSemiCaps] [AGaramond-SemiboldSC] \definefontsynonym [OldStyle] [AGaramond-RegularSC-OSF]% the regular old-style figures are in the small-caps file \stoptypescript % \starttypescript [AGaramond] \definetypeface [AGaramond] [rm] [serif] [agaramond] [default] [encoding=ec] \stoptypescript

Re: Pagebreaks
by Thomas A.Schmitz 28 Sep '03

Kudos to Patrick for pointing out what was wrong with my file--he helped me immensely, and I'm very grateful to him. The solution is: in addition to \clubpenalty and \widowpenalty, there is also \brokenpenalty, which enforces the good old typographical rule that no page should be broken after a hyphenated word. When I set it to 0, all my pages had exactly the same number of lines. Thanks to Patrick, and may others find it useful! Thomas

If I use the \startfrontmatter cum suis then there is a numbered page after the TOC and the last page if even and empty is also numbered. Inside the \startbodymatter \stopbodymatter the emptypages at new chapters are empty pages with an empty header, thus no pagenumber. So if I use the recommended project structure I still have the generated-numbered-empty-pages problem at the end of each matter block. Does someone know how to avoid this, and how to make generated empty pages by default empty? Hans, you must know your child best, no? Steffen

Hi Willi, I hope that it can't be to difficult: Cause the page before a new chapter is actually completely empty JUST BECAUSE it is generated by (Con)TeX(t) - for chapters should begin on a right page. So I only ask for empty pages (without pagenumbers) that are generated by (Con)TeX(t). That's not possible in ConTeXt? Steffen
