some XML stuff (and bugs?)
by Martin Kolařík 12 Aug '03

12 Aug '03

Hi all, I have some problems with XML and ConTeXt, some of them are probably not implemented in ConTeXt yet. 1. XML contains <type><tag></type> I define \defineXMLargument [type] \type ConTeXt outputs <tag> It is interesting that inside \bTD..\eTD it is typeset correctly (<tag>). 2. Is there a way to get some piece of processed XML code into buffer (preserving blanks)? The first-approach solution of course does not work: \defineXMLenvironment [buffer] \startbuffer \stopbuffer never finds \stopbuffer. I suceed if \stopbuffer occured in XML code, but this is not the proper way :-). I also suceed when I defined \defineXMLenvironment [buffer] {\dostartbuffer [bname] [StartBuffer][/bufferdef>]} \relax and in the XML I wrote \</bufferdef>... So, how to implement somehow \defineXMLverbatim [buffer] ... which finds (and stops) reading on </buffer>? 3. if XML entity is placed before \par (e.g. in verbatim XML source, where an empty line occurs) ConTeXt fails with reading entity #2 parameter (Runaway? error). Maybe \long for \def\remapXMLentity should be used? 4. if I use <math><buffer/></math> it does not work -- <math> implementation using \XMLremapdata[mml] does not find any MML tag. Anyhow, I did not suceed with pre expansion of <buffer/> -- probably, if I am able to expand (get content of) <buffer/> (it contains MML tags) it would work. 5. some expansion stuffs, I expect it is a behaviour :-) but it would be pretty if it is possible. I did not suceed with using \getbuffer (aka all \process...buffer) in expanded environment. Simple use of \message{\getbuffer[somebuffer]} fails. If such expansion is possbile probably 4. would be solved too.

pagemark code works no more with arranging 3SIDE
by Henning Hraban Ramm 11 Aug '03

11 Aug '03

Hello esp. Hans! I told you more than once about my address book. ;-) You wrote this nice code for me, that calculates the first and last name on the page: --- \def\RegisterPageMark#1#2% #1=Class #2=Text {\iftrialtypesetting \else \doglobal\increment\MNamCounter% \textreference[#1:t:\MNamCounter]{#2}% \doifreferencefoundelse{#1:t:\MNamCounter} {\doifundefined{#1:f:\currentrealreference}% {\setxvalue{#1:f:\currentrealreference}% {\noexpand\in[#1:t:\MNamCounter]}} \setxvalue{#1:l:\currentrealreference}% {\noexpand\in[#1:t:\MNamCounter]}}% {}% \fi} \def\GetFirstOnPage#1{\getvalue{#1:f:\realfolio}} % #1=Class \def\GetLastOnPage#1{\getvalue{#1:l:\realfolio}} % #1=Class \setupheadertexts [][\GetFirstOnPage{MNam}--\GetLastOnPage{MNam}] \def\Name#1{\bf #1\RegisterPageMark{MNam}{\FirstNCharacters{4}{#1}}} --- It doesn't work with the arranging "3SIDE" or even "XY" with three pages on A4 landscape. The headers show only the dash. I can't tell how arranging is involved in this counter stuff. Is there a simple solution? Grüßlis vom Hraban! -- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/

How can I use the lmodern fonts with context?
by Helmut Schwertner 11 Aug '03

11 Aug '03

Hello, what is to do if I want to use the Latin Modern Fonts with context? Today I have installed the LM package (0.86 of 04.08.2003) of the Latin Modern family of fonts in the PostScript Type 1 format under Miktex and it works with latex wonderful (and this fonts are wonderful too). Thanks, Helmut

letter manual
by kopszak＠mnw.art.pl 11 Aug '03

11 Aug '03

Hello, Today I realized the last thing I use LaTeX for is writing letters (mainly because of old stylesheets I once produced). I would like to switch to ConTeXt obviously. Do I remember right that a letter manual was mentioned here some time ago? What happened to it? If it's not available could you mention any ConTeXt comands aimed at writing letters specifically?

Instructions for m-pstric
by John Culleton 11 Aug '03

11 Aug '03

Since I was mentioned in the code for this module I make bold to ask this question =) Exactly how is this module employed to enable PStricks statements to be used in a Context job? Alternatively, in MPFun, how might one surround the text on a page by a border running symmetrically around the edge, a certain distance in from the page edges? I know how I would do it in PSTricks but not in Metapost/Metafun. A recent memoir by Norman Mailer has a broad gray border with a thin black border just inside it on the title page. Very spiffy. -- John Culleton Able Typesetters and Indexers http://wexfordpress.com

new version
by Hans Hagen 08 Aug '03

08 Aug '03

Hi, Since it's tex live freezing time, I uploaded a new version. There ar enot that many changes (i moved a few things from cont-new/cont-loc to the core modules [cont-loc is my personal optimized code / new thingies file]). I also added type-akb (patricks adobekb) file to the distribution since we need it to get those free fonts working in tetex and derived systems (tex live is normally a bit more complete with regards to metrics). Be careful in using this typescipts: the metrics may not match the fonts and i dislike the idea of ps metric names and urw fots; Personally i always use the urw metrics and fonts and *always* embed them. I'll post a zip with additional font metrics later. To texexec, i added some cleverness to run xml files and i will add some morelater. Also, from now on (in order to avoid too many mails of users who forget to run mktexlsr) i now run mktexlsr before generating formats. [i hope that i got the miktex alternative well, i'll install miktex in a virtual machine later].

Hi, The next version will have a new system mode, which can be used in conditional processing: \startmode[*first] ... \stopmode this mode is true in the first run and can be used like: \startmode[*first] \executesystemcommand{dowhatever test.tex x-test.tex} \stopmode \typefile{x-test.tex} an example of a preprocessor run, which only needs to be done once; this can be handy when one needs to preprocess to be included files.

Where's the pound (�) sign gone?
by Mark Ainsworth 07 Aug '03

07 Aug '03

Well after much playing with font settings I am still confused. Can anyone out there help. If I use: \setupoutput[pdftex] \usetypescript[berry][ec] \usetypescript[modern][ec] \setupbodyfont[modern,10pt] \starttext Where has the pound $\pound$ sign gone \stoptext Then the output doesn't contain any sign. If I then use: \setupoutput[pdftex] \usetypescript[berry] \usetypescript[modern] \setupbodyfont[modern,10pt] \starttext Where has the pound $\pound$ sign gone \stoptext I end up with a dollar ($) sign. So how can I get the good old British pound sign. (No I don't want to convert to Euros!) On another track, is there any way of getting pdftex to use the pfb concrete fonts, rather than the bitmap versions without a major hack of my map files? Has someone written a simple little routine to do the patching automatically. They print out ok, but the on-screen versions are really naff.

Problems with m-bibtex
by Tobias Burnus 07 Aug '03

07 Aug '03

Hi, I've two problems with m-bib: a) I want to have the cites numbered by occurrence like this [1], [2], etc. I managed to get 1, 2, 3 etc. in the reference list but in the text I get [23], [5] etc. where this number is the number of occurrence in the .bib file. I used: \setuppublications[alternative=apa] \setuppublications[numbering=yes,refcommand=num] %,refcommand=number] b) I'm using \cite[reference1, reference2] but I get only [23], i.e. one reference shown in the text. In the reference list they appear both. Tobias

New version of DocbookInContext uploaded
by Simon Pepping 06 Aug '03

06 Aug '03

Hi, I have uploaded a new version of DocbookInContext. It is now possible to reset attribute values to \undefined at the start of an element. part and chapter are now recognized as elements that may start a document. In addition this version has a number of smaller improvements. The release has been tested with the Context version of 4 March 2003. Known problem of this release: Sometimes Context inserts a spurious pagebreak; this seems to be connected with the use of backgrounds. I have noted a similar problem with the Index. You can find DocbookInContext at http://www.hobby.nl/~scaprea/context/ and at http://home.hccnet.nl/spepping/context/. Regards, Simon -- Simon Pepping new email: s.pepping(a)hccnet.nl new home page: http://home.hccnet.nl/spepping
