Hi, I want to see active URL in my pdf document in similar way that is used by <a....>....</a> tag in html So I have written \setupinteraction[state=start] then \useexternaldocument [doc:Molik] [http://zskl.zsk.p.lodz.pl/~morawski/local/Praca dyplomowa p. Molika.pdf] [Metody routingu unikastowego] then I try to use \from, \goto; \url and even if I see the link, it is not active then I try: \useURL [Molik] [http://zskl.zsk.p.lodz.pl/~morawski/local/Praca dyplomowa p. Molika.pdf] and \from, \goto; \url result is less or more the same. Where is the problem? What I have missed in documentation? Michal Morawski

Math and Bibliography Problems
by Adam Tee 29 May '03

29 May '03

Hi, I'm new to context and am having a few problems. When I try to process the following $0 \stackrel{4}{\rightarrow}$ I get ! Undefined control sequence. Is there support for stackrel or is there an alternative. Also, I'm having problems with generating a bibliography with context an bibtex. As bibtex only utilises the .aux file and context does not seem to output one. What is the solution. Thanks Adam

weird " [preference] " appearing with \splitfloat
by Sebastian Rooks 29 May '03

29 May '03

Hi Contexters, I would like to use the \splitfloat command (see the test sample attached) as in http://ml-archives.mini.pw.edu.pl/ntg-context/msg02441.html But how do I get rid of the word " [preference] " which appears just before the table ? I am using the latest stable (ver 2003.03.11) with miktex 2.3 Any idea ?

document structure facility
by Fabian Doerk 26 May '03

26 May '03

Hey all, i've a question regarding the context document structuring facility. Maybe you can show me the right direction or show me what i made wrong. I'am currently working on a semester project, whose goal it is to build a CVS/ConTeXt Server accessible via Zope webapplications (an selfmade documentation management system). Our approach is to split the per semster documentation in products and the texts in components. The whole documentation is integrated in a project. Via webfrontend the user will be able to generate either the whole documentation of all semesters (project, including all products) or just one product. We've created a hierarchical directory structure like the following excerpt: CVSROOT/ ReaktorDocs/ Complete/ Makefile ReaktorDocs.tex (projectfile) path.tex (included by ReactorDocs.tex) products.tex (included by ReactorDocs.tex) Semester01/ Documentation/ Makefile Semester01.tex (product file) figures/ ... text/ Makefile semester01_txt001.tex (component file) semester01_txt002.tex (component file) Protocols/ ... Semester02/ ... Semester03/ ... Styles/ p-eng-doc-default.tex (environment file) p-eng-prot-default.tex (environment file) ... We've got it working in so far that the user can checkout one modul and gets the Semester directory and the styles directory (of course an cvs issue). The compilation of either one product or the whole project works too, via help of \usepath and tex conditions in every product file, which detects whether the front/back -matters should be omitted (for project compilation) or beeing kept (for product compilation). The only thing i can't figure out, is why the counter for \part and \chapter (probably all sectioning commands used in the products) resets per product. Is there any solution for that problem or a workaround to display an continuous \placecontent in the project scope? thanks in advance, Fabian Doerk

Hi ConTeXters. Just a quick note that my ConTeXt typography page is up with the following magazines: OpenType (installation, optical and pro fonts, and new math) TeXFont (a beginner's exploration, could be a help to others) Euler Math (improved Euler math font support, with different typescript combos) I also am mirroring Berend's "LaTeX in proper ConTeXt", because it's useful, but can be hard to find on the net. <http://homepage.mac.com/atl/tex/> -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

XML Processing (Newbie Question)
by Alexandre Enkerli 24 May '03

24 May '03

Thanks for answers about my previous query on processing XML output from an exam-making program. I should have been more specific, though. I don't know what to do with these instructions... Should I put them in a filter file? If so, how do I call it from the command-line? Sorry for being so ignorant of ConTeXt ways. A private answer would help. Thanks!

ANN: e-Omega 3.14159--1.15--2.1, Release Candidate 1
by Giuseppe Bilotta 24 May '03

24 May '03

ANNOUNCING: e-Omega 3.14159--1.15--2.1, Release Candidate 1 e-Omega 3.14159--1.15--2.1 is now released to the public in its second release candidate version. Pre-built binaries are currently available for the MiKTeX distribution (see www.miktex.org) and the fpTeX distribution (see ftp://ftp.dante.de/pub/fptex/standalone/); the official sources are currently available (via CVS) from the MiKTeX source tree. e-Omega provides all the features available in Omega (except for the SGML/XML handling) and all the features available in e-TeX (except for its multidirectional TeX--XeT capabilities, which have been abandoned in favour of the Omega ones). This release fixes the most outstanding bug in the Omega 1.15 series (the TRIP bug), which also affected the previous release (RC0) of e- Omega. Given that RC0 has already been tested (successfully) in production-use environments, it is my belief that this version should be quite ready for widespread use. My opinion could be strongly biased, though, so you are all encouraged at proving me (right or wrong). -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta "Da grande lotterò per la pace" "A me me la compra il mio babbo" (Altan) ("When I grow up, I will fight for peace" "My daddy will buy it for me")

XML Processing
by Alexandre Enkerli 23 May '03

23 May '03

Hello all, I'm building an exam using "ExamView Pro" which has, surprisingly, an XML export feature. I'd like to process the exam content into ConTeXt. I've looked at the "Example" file and tried to understand how it all works, but I'm not sure I can. So far, I've been able to process entities and MathML using the mm* and ent as options for --xmlfilter (texexec --pdf --xmlfilter=mml,mmp,mmc,ent file.xml) but I can't even get <b> to work as planned with any of the xtag-* files. I'm guessing I need to use the x-contml.tex file, but I don't know why. Then, I'll probably need some guidance to have everything work. The ExamView XML format uses attributes but I'd be happy with just getting the basic format straight. What makes it somewhat harder is that I don't have so much experience with ConTeXt anyway. So, I'd appreciate any help. Here's the basic structure of the data I want to process: <question> <text></text> <choices> <choice></choice> </choices> <answer></answer> <info> <difficulty></difficulty> <reference></reference> <text-objective></text-objective> </info> </question> In LaTeX terminology (sorry!) what I want is to have all the question texts as items in an "enumerate" and answer choices in an alphabetical enumerate for each question. Doesn't sound too hard. In fact, I guess I could probably do a find and replace... Thanks in advance for your help.

As the creator of a metafont one can invent an encoding, say 'ASCII CAPS AND DIGITS' which is completly unknown by the rest of the world. And I can use T1 or OT1 or what ever. To create different encodings for a font the designer has to designate a parameter or parameterfile to select that.

Metafun error
by John Culleton 22 May '03

22 May '03

Just got back into Metafun. I used the example program from page 5 of the manual: ------------------------------------------ \setupcolors[state=start] \starttext \startuseMPgraphic{dummy} fill fullcircle scaled 5cm withcolor red; \stopuseMPgraphic \useMPgraphic{dummy} \stoptext ------------------------------------------ When I run texexec test.tex I get: ----------------------------- This is MetaPost, Version 0.641 (Web2C 7.3.7x) (test-mpgraph.mp >> spotcolors >> true ! Equation cannot be performed (numeric=boolean). <to be read again> ; l.23 spotcolors := true ; --------------------------- on the second pass. If I eliminate the red color it still doesn't work. The file test-mpgraph.mp contains these lines which look ok: cmykcolors := true ; spotcolors := true ; color OverlayColor, OverlayLineColor ; If I just generate the graphic with texexec --mptex test.tex that works OK. Any ideas? -- John Culleton

A Metapost question
by Michal Kvasnicka 22 May '03

22 May '03

Good noon. I'm sorry that I bother you with an off-topic question, but I know here are many Metapost gurus. I'd like to join two point (E1 and E2) having the same ypart (ypart(E1)=ypart(E2)) with the TeX underbrace sign. To do it I have to tell TeX (via btex ... etex?) the horizontal distance of the two points. Do you know how can I do it? Many thanks, M.K.

What are the defaults? I see, that Duerer is designed only in one size. This is not always the case with metafonts. For example, I should can say things like: Use font with designsize 10pt for all the fontsizes lower and equal to 10pt and scale acoordingly. Use font with designsize 11pt for the fontsize 11pt. Use font with designsize 14.4pt for fontsizes from 12pt to infinity and scale them. What about encoding? For example, an OT1 font doesn't contains german umlauts, a T1 font does. By the way, there is also a typescript-section [special]. What can I do with this? I will report about my attempts about my font 'bunt' in a second mail. Gru�, Wolfgang

I use the following test-file --------------------test.tex------------------------- \usetypescriptfile [type-bunt] \usetypescript [Bunt] \setupbodyfont [Bunt] \starttext \chapter{Test} {\cg Gottes.} \stoptext --------------------------------------------------------- and this typescript ------------------type-bunt.tex-------------------- \starttypescript [calligraphy] [bunt] [name] \definefontsynonym [calligraphy] [bu1000] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [calligraphy] [bunt] [size] \definebodyfont [5pt,6pt,7pt,8pt] [cg] [tf=bu0900 sa 1] \definebodyfont [9pt] [cg] [tf=bu0900] \definebodyfont [10pt] [cg] [tf=bu1000] \definebodyfont [10.95pt] [cg] [tf=bu1095] \definebodyfont [12pt] [cg] [tf=bu1200] \definebodyfont [14.4pt] [cg] [tf=bu1440] \definebodyfont [17.28pt] [cg] [tf=bu1728] % \definebodyfont [20.7pt] [cg] % [tf=bu2074] \definebodyfont [20.74pt] [cg] [tf=bu2074] \definebodyfont [24.88pt] [cg] [tf=bu2488] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [Bunt] \definetypeface [Bunt] [cg] [calligraphy] [bunt] [bunt] [encoding=ec] \stoptypescript --------------------------------------------------------- to use a metafont which was designed in the 8 sizes (9,10,10.95,12,14.4,17.28,20.74 and 24.88pt) Fontsizes lower then 9pt should downscaled useing the 9pt font. (not testet yet!) Problems: 1. The bodyfont is 12pt per default, so pdftex uses bu1200.tfm to calculate the text. The chaptertitle is then in 20.74pt, but pdftex doesn't use the existing font bu2074.tfm, but scales the bodyfont by a factor of 1.728. As a result, mktexpk calculates the pk files bu1200.600pk and bu1200.1037pk, and not bu1200.600pk and bu2074.600pk. I tried to include the commentet two lines in the typescript, because I always found written sizes in context with one digit behind the point, but the result is negativ too. 2. The log-file contains the following: > ) (./type-bunt.tex) > fonts : [calligraphy] [bunt] [name,default,ec,special] My typescript neighter contains a section [ec] nor a section [special]. What are they for? Why are they referenced in the log. > ) (./type-bunt.tex > bodyfont : bodyfont 7.6pt is defined (can better be done global) > bodyfont : bodyfont 7.6pt is defined (can better be done global) > bodyfont : bodyfont 5.4pt is defined (can better be done global) > .... lots of this lines. Most exist doubly, some not. What is this? I have not redefined 7.6pt or 5.4pt ...? Gru�, Wolfgang

(* excuse my poor english *) I complete my previous message : I obtained no error message but a blank page without circle and without "aa". But, mptopdf give the right result with this source file : beginfig(1) label(btex aa etex,(0,0)) ; draw fullcircle scaled 3cm ; endfig ; end LC

Frames kill indenting of paragraphs
by Emil Hedevang Lohse 21 May '03

21 May '03

Hello. I am trying to put frames around some of my enumerations (which I use to typeset theorems, lemmas, etc.), but when I put a frame around the enumeration, the indenting of the paragraphs disappears. Here is some sample code: \setupoutput[pdftex] \enableregime[il1] \setuppapersize[A4][A4] \setupbodyfont[cmr,11pt] \setupspacing[packed] \setupinterlinespace[medium] \setupspacing[packed] \setupindenting[medium] \indenting[yes,next] \defineenumeration[MyEnum] [location=serried, indenting={yes,next}] \defineframedtext[MyFrame] [indenting={yes,next}] \defineframedcontent[mine] [indenting={yes,next}] \starttext \startMyEnum Does it work?\par Yes, it does!\par \stopMyEnum \startframedcontent[mine] Does it work?\par No, it does not!\par \stopframedcontent \startframedcontent[mine] \startMyEnum Does it work?\par No, it does not!\par \stopMyEnum \stopframedcontent \startMyFrame \startMyEnum Does it work?\par No, it does not!\par \stopMyEnum \stopMyFrame -- Emil Hedevang Lohse <http://home.imf.au.dk/emil/> Alle spørgsmål er lige dumme. Og spørgsmålet "Kan ænder flyve?" er ikke dumt.

Line Tables problem
by Slawek Zak 21 May '03

21 May '03

I tried to check the new line-table module for ConTeXt and for a rough start, the demo present in core-ltb.tex which start with: \setuplinetable[n=6,m={2,2,2},regels=25] \setuplinetable[c][1][width=2cm,background=color,backgroundcolor=red] \setuplinetable[c][4][width=3cm,background=color,backgroundcolor=yellow] .. doesn't work. The error message is: ! Missing number, treated as zero. <to be read again> n \v!nee ->n ee \stoplinetablepart ...>\linetableparameter \c!rek \else \setbox \scratchbox ... \linetableER ...plinetablecell \stoplinetablepart \savelinetablepart \advanc... l.732 ...b \NC c \NC ddddd \NC eeee \NC ff \NC \NR Tested with latest beta using cont-en.efmt and cont-nl.efmt as well in pdftex output mode. /S

m-bib and numeric references
by Maarten Sneep 20 May '03

20 May '03

Hi, I use the bibliography module for my references, and I have trouble setting it up like I want it. 1) I want to use numeric references, like [1] in the text. I'm getting a nice numbered list, but no numbers in the text, just [??]. What do I do wrong, according to the docs this should work. Below are the relevant lines from my setup: % bibliography \setupbibtex[database={ljname,references},sort=no] \setuppublications[alternative=apa] \setuppublications[sorttype=cite, criterium=used, numbering=yes, autohang=yes, refcommand=num] \setupcite[num][compress=yes,pubsep={, },lastpubsep={, },inbetween={--},left={[}, right={]}] \setupheadtext[en][pubs=Bibliography] 2) A minor other question, how do I right-align the numbers in the list, like .. .. 8. 9. 10. 11. ... you get the idea ;-) Regards, Maarten Mad, adj.: Affected with a high degree of intellectual independence.

Wrong pagebreak in column environment
by Nagy Bence 20 May '03

20 May '03

Dear all, I'm posting my unsolvable problem, there is a minimal example with a wrong pagebreak between Frame 3 and Frame 4 in the same column environment. I seek a solution without manual intervention (for example without \page[yes,force]). I want to make a script generated layout. Please, let me know, if anybody has an idea. Thanks! Greetings Bence Nagy

Hallo! > \enableregime, \mainlanguage, \setupencoding are English > commands; texexec is smart enough to detect this, and therefore > uses the English interface; Obviously this autodetectroutine is checking only the pr�ambel. > if you want to use the German one, > use the German corresponding command: \hauptsprache instead of > \mainlanguage. Or, as the first line of the file put: That means, that the aktual setting in 'texexec.ini' is of no practical use, isn't it? > % interface=de And than texexec forgets its smartness? The whole thing costs me a lot of time. I installed context with 'UserInterface de' without a real idea what it means. I didn't know if it brings me german messages or an german interface. Then I forgot this setting and used english statements. All worked well, until I wrote a little testfile, without pr�ambel, and tex complains about \chapter{}. It was very strange! May be, a warning message would be helpfull, say 'UserInterface doesn't match initial setting!' Wolfgang
