Endnotes and pagenumbering
by Larry Stamm 21 Sep '03

21 Sep '03

I'm just learning ConTeXt, and am having a couple of problems with a document right now: 1. I'm try to set footnotes as endnotes at the end of every chapter, and have used \setupfootnotes[location=text, way=bychapter, conversion=numbers, rule=on] in my environment file, and use \placefootnotes at the end of the chapters. The endnotes are placed where I want, but there is no horizontal rule between the body text and the endnotes, and the numbering of the endnotes starts afresh with every new page in the chapter instead of being a continuous series. So I get endnotes numbered like 1,2,1,1,2,3,1,2.... instead of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8..... I've tried way=bypart and way=bytext and location=page in the setups, and it didn't affect the endnote typesetting at all. How to fix...? 2. I have been requested to get rid of all blank pages in the final pdf file, but keep the doublesided layout and numbering. Currently the page number is placed on the outside top margin. Putting alternative=singlesided in the pagenumbering setup gets rid of the blank pages but also will put every other page number on the inside when printed duplex. So is there a way to set no blank pages but still have doublesided pagenumbering within ConTeXt, or will I have to do some post processing of the output file?

Vertical alignment of formulas
by Emil Hedevang Lohse 21 Sep '03

21 Sep '03

Hello, Suppose I have the following code: blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah \startmpformula formula \stopmpformula and that it yields the following output blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah formula that is, the final "blah" is placed so far to the left of "formula" that it would be desireable to reduce the vertical space between the text and the formula such that we get the following output instead: blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah formula The question is now: How do I do that? Regards, -- Emil Hedevang Lohse <http://home.imf.au.dk/emil/> Alle spørgsmål er lige dumme. Og spørgsmålet "Kan ænder flyve?" er ikke dumt.

Soul Package in ConTeXt
by Steffen Wolfrum 21 Sep '03

21 Sep '03

Because of looking for a nice letterspacing solution I had a look at the LaTeX's soul.sty. Melchior Franz wrote that it should also work with ConTeXt: > The soul package > Melchior FRANZ > May 29, 2002 > Abstract > This article describes the soul package1, which provides h y p h e n - > a t a b l e l e t t e r s p a c i n g ( s p a c i n g o u t ) , >underlining and some > derivatives such as overstriking and highlighting.

But how? \input soul.sty gives me in ConTeXt: > (/Users/steffen/Library/texmf/tex/latex/misc/soul.sty > ! Undefined control sequence. > l.49 \NeedsTeXFormat > {LaTeX2e} > ? So what what did he mean by "works with"? What is the right way? Thank you for any reply, Steffen

How to place footnotes in margin?
by Steffen Wolfrum 21 Sep '03

21 Sep '03

Hi, As ConTeXt is such a highly configurable set of macros (at least for those who know) I wonder if there's a way to place footnotes on page but not at the bottom - I'd like to have them e.g. in the margins. As there is no predefinded \setupfootnotes[location=inmargin] I tried something like \inmargin{\footnote{}The footnote's text.} Which doesn't really work - as it doesn't "flow": I you have a footnote at line 5 and line 6 then you have a problem because the second footnote doesn't wait for the first to be finished... Is there a better hack? Happy for feedback, Steffen

sorry ... I forgot the title .... \setupitemize

Hi, I'm trying to configure my itemization environment so that second level switches to a smaller font. The following code does not produce the expected result (no change in font size). I imagine I'm doing something wrong but could not figure what ... (setupitemize[1][before=\tx] is works well) Any idea ? jp \starttext \setupitemize[2][before=\tx] \startitemize \item First Level \startitemize \item Second Level \stopitemize \stopitemize \stoptext

Hi Hans, hi Jens! There is always another surprise in ConTexT. I mean: How should I know? My sources are Hans's manuals + the list-archiv. Neither in the manuals nor in the archive \setuphanging or \starthanging is mentioned... So I am sorry for asking for things that maybe already exist! But now I have to ask: how do I use \setuphanging or \starthanging actually? Is there some kind of documentation or at least a minimal example somewhere? Thanks for the lessons. Steffen

fourier

Hi, I've added support for the excelent new fourier fonts by Michel Bovani, based on utopia. So, we have another math font! \usetypescript[fourier][ec] \setupbodyfont[fourier] \starttext test $x=1+\sqrt{x}$ test \type {test} \stoptext I expect math experts to look into math-fou.tex and complete the vectors. == from here only for font lovers == Now, since these fonts have quite some expert and oldstyle options, it makes sense to think of how to use them.

Probelm with \defineenumeration
by Willi Egger 19 Sep '03

19 Sep '03

Hi everybody, While trying to setup a simple literature reference list I encounter the following problem: I have defined an enumeration. After typesetting the enumerated list I get on the first line the enumeration text and lost and alone in front of the second line the enumeration number. Is this something I do in a wrong way or is there a bug? Please try the minimal example below Kind regards Willi \setupoutput[pdftex] \defineenumeration [Literatur] [location={left,serried}, style=\em, width=broad, distance=12pt, headstyle=\tfx, text=\em, left={[}, right={]}, inbetween={\blank[small]}, after={\blank[small]}] \starttext \Literatur[Wiese1964] F.

Hi, Is there a way to have something like \indenting[hang] ? With the first line not indented, but the second and following lines? First I thought this is what is ment by \indenting[next], but \indenting[next] seems to be exactly the same as \indenting[first], is this right? Always happy for replies, Steffen

special _______________________ headertexts

Hi! As usually chick got a problem which seems to have easy answer. Let's say I want to set header/footer text which has the following order: chaptername _____________________________ pagenumber I tried \setupheadertexts[\thinrule] \setupheadertexts[chapter][pagenumber][pagenumber][chapter] but that is not what I really need. Chaptername and pagenumber are underlined by thinrule and I want to separate thinrule and text with given glue/kern. I hardly try to avoid construction such as: \setupheadertexts[\ifodd\pageno\line{\chaptername \hrulefill \pagenumber}\else...\fi] where \chaptername is a previously defined reference to chapter title... Is there any other way to do that? I'm sure there is... Pawe/l

Plus there are two strange empty empty pages before the TOC?! Steffen

OT: MP source docu
by Jens-Uwe Morawski 19 Sep '03

19 Sep '03

Hi, i'm currently writing a MP package and would like to have a printable source documentation. 'texexec --module' does this job very well, but there are two things that i would have changed for my documentation (not in general): - it always writes "ConTeXt" on top of the title page. Since my package is not related to ConTeXt, how can i replace it with a different title, i.e. the package name? - how can i activate an other color palette for pretty printing of the MP code? Thanks in advance Jens

new version again
by Hans Hagen 19 Sep '03

19 Sep '03

Hi, I again uploaded a new version. The reason for this is: (a) a couple of fixes but more important (b) updated texexec's / texutil's / texfont's, esp for windows users; fabrice is putting lot of effort to get the perl things working under windows with spacy paths so please let us know if thinsg run wrong (we may be able to fix things before the win32 texlive binaries are frozen and (c) support for the fourier fonts. in http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/texmf-extra.tar you can find the fonts; these will go on the coming texlive/ctan dvd (but not in the tex live main tree) therefore the extra prefix. Of course you can copy the extra tree over your local tree (don't forget mltexlsr).

Dear Willi, Karel and Patrick, I tried your example and got the same misaligned result as yourself and Patrick.

\setuptyping
by Jean-Pierre Le Narzul 19 Sep '03

19 Sep '03

Hi, For typing Java code in a context document, I use \starttyping ... \stoptyping. I have a problem when I configure \setuptyping in the following way : \setuptyping[typing][color=black,style=\ss,escape=/,option=commands] If I put characters like { or _ in my source (between \starttyping and \stoptyping) , they do not appear in the produced document { character is replaced by - character _ character is replaced by ' character etc.... If I configure setuptyping in the following way \setuptyping[typing][color=black,style=\tt,escape=/,option=commands] (just change \ss to \tt) everything is ok ! Any idea ? thanks in advance for any help jp

problems with embedded spaces in file paths (Win32)
by George White 19 Sep '03

19 Sep '03

I don't normally use Win32, but I want to convert our 4AllTeX addicts to TeX Live 2003. In testing release candidates, I encountered a few problems with context and texexec. The most recent tests were with the Sept. 5 release candidate (using the "install" CD). 1. on Win32, kpsewhich often fails to find texexec.ini. I created a texexec.ini in texmf-var/context/config and verified that it is listed in the ls-R. My conjecture is that this failure occurs if and only if the final component of the nme of the current working directory contains an embedded space, e.g., "C:\My Documents". Texexec takes a very long time to run (searching the texmf trees on an unloved and unwanted PIII 300mhz), so I haven't done a lot of testing/debugging. I haven't encountered any other kpathsea failures. I can work around this by tweaking texexec.pl, but it would be comforting to have an explanation. 2. ConTeXt texexec uses $ENV{"HOME"} to set a value in filename.tmp, e.g., on unix: $ cat try.tex \starttext \input story \stoptext $ texexec try $ cat try.tmp % try.top \unprotect \setupsystem[\c!gebied={/user/gwhite/}] %---- set from $ENV{"HOME"} \setupsystem[\c!n=1] \setupsystem[inputfile=try.tex] \protect If, e.g. HOME="/x y", the formatted document gets an extra page containing "y//cont-err". On Win32, it seems common to have spaces in "%HOME%". In particular, for WinXP, a value appears to be constructed by the texexec.ini binary (created using irun) if %HOME% is not set. I can work around this by asking users to explicitly set HOME to something safe. -- George White <aa056(a)chebucto.ns.ca> <gnw3(a)acm.org> 189 Parklea Dr., Head of St. Margarets Bay, Nova Scotia B3Z 2G6

How to set paths
by Pawel Jackowski na Onet 18 Sep '03

18 Sep '03

Hello! In some special cases I need to set paths for input files directly from ConTeXt code not from config file. In manuals \setupexternalfigures is described. Is there any similar command for files that are inputed directly by \input, \typefile \processXMLfile (the last is the most interesting for me) and similar commands? If there isn't any special command for that, how to do that using some abrakadabra:-) Regards, Pawe/l

Bug? setupinteraction makes footnotenumber bold
by Steffen Wolfrum 18 Sep '03

18 Sep '03

For having the bookmarks when viewing my PDF in Acrobat I use \setupinteraction[state=start] But this forces the footnotenumbers (both in the text and in the footer) to be bold. Is this a known bug? Here a minimal example: %\setupinteraction[state=start] \setupfootnotes[style=italic] \starttext Test Test.\footnote{Fussnotentext} \stoptext With the first line to be (un-)commented. Steffen

Alternate/Swash Font in ConTeXt, how?
by Steffen Wolfrum 18 Sep '03

18 Sep '03

Does any of you cracks has experience in how to use the AGaramondAlternate Font in ConTeXt? I have no problems with the other Expert fonts but this one stays empty. As I am starting with a Mac font I am not sure which encoding to choose for generating the pfb file. Someone already did this journey? Steffen
