Indenting in description
by Mikael Persson 05 Mar '03

05 Mar '03

Hello! I have a problem with indent in the description environment (I use the latest beta of ConTeXt). When I have descriptions that are longer than one paragraph I want the next paragraphs indented in the same way as the other parts of the document. Here is a small example showing the problem. ================ start file ================== \setupindenting[medium] \indenting[yes] \definedescription[testdesc][% width=broad, location=serried, headstyle=bold, way=bychapter, text={Testdescription: }] \starttext \section{Some indenting tests} This is just a test paragraph. I want to se if the next paragraph is indented or not. So, sooner or later we will know. \par Is this indented? Yes. \starttestdesc{A nonlucky one} This is just a test paragraph. I want to se if the next paragraph is indented or not. So, sooner or later we will know. \par Is this indented? No, but I want it to be. \stoptestdesc This is just a test paragraph. I want to se if the next paragraph is indented or not. So, sooner or later we will know. \par Is this indented? Yes. \stoptext ================ stop file ================== I also have another question. How can one install Math fonts (lucida)? When I run texfont as with other fonts texfont reports that it is math fonts and the installation fail. Should I add another switch? (I tried with the same switches as I successfully use for other fonts, that is --in and --ma (besides the --ve and --co)) Best regards, Micke P

Help : pdf figure is black !
by Maurice Diamantini 04 Mar '03

04 Mar '03

Bonjour à tous, I'm trying to switch from Latex + pstrick to latex3 and Metapost (alias context :-) For now, I'm trying to reproduice a Latex + Seminar + pstricks slides. Before to switch to Metapost, I'd like to include the pstricks figure as pdf external file (from eps file) The figure is OK and I can see it with xpdf or acroreqad. But when I use it in ConText, the background is all black. I've been unable to play whith the various option : 2 \externalfigure [01-problematique.pst.pdf] [width=0.4\textwidth, % bfactor=0.9, % raster=0.9, background=screen, % background=color, backgroundscreen=1.0, backgroundcolor=yellow, ] 3 Any idea ? P.S. I think that the "Context" name is a bad choice, because it's difficult to find on the web (to much pages are found) It would be better to name it "ConTeX" !

presentation failure
by Maarten Sneep 26 Feb '03

26 Feb '03

Hi, I tried to begin a presentation, and tried to learn from the best (Hans Hagen in this case ;-) However, I get a failure with the minimal test case below. Some (I think relevant) fragments of the logs are included (sorry for the long mail). I'm using TeXLive with a recent version of context (see dates in the log). Is this a symptom of updating only part of the setup? If so: what parts should I update to get things to work? Some of you may recall that I had trouble with the pos fonts on teTeX a while ago. I switched to TeXLive and there it works. Will try to find out if the problem is related to Mac OS X or teTeX.

Hello there, I am absolutely new to this ConTeXt typesetting system.

more beginner's problems
by Raimund.Kohl＠freenet.de 23 Feb '03

23 Feb '03

Hi, ok, here some more problems which I couldn't find a solution in the manual. First the space between two paragraphs. For example \enableregime[il1] \starttext paragraph 1\par paragraph 2\par \stoptext Should come out like two lines with one empty line in between. but it comes out like two lines with no empty line in between. I tried \paragraph, I tried \par and even nothing but an empty line, processing the file with texexec always "glues" the two paragraphs together like paragraph 1 paragraph 2 What is my fault here? Next problem are the high commatas "blah". In german language the first one has to come on the bottom of the line ... but this way the are typesetted like in english ... above. I tried "`blah"', but this doesn't work either. Also adding \language[de] at the beginning doesn't change that behaviour. Can anybody help? Thank you in advance Raimund PS: I use a Linux machine with SuSE 8.0

Chinese text failed to flow around pictures
by Guo Yang 22 Feb '03

22 Feb '03

when I tried: \placefigure [right] {Some picture} {\externalfigure[temp][type=jpg,width=5cm]} Blah blah ... % These should be pure Chinese characters. In the generated Chinese PDF file, the paragraph right after the figure just runs over the picture like it were not there. But if I append some English words before Chinese, everything would be fine. And \startfiguretext[left] works as expected. Any ideas? Guo

footnote control
by Idris S Hamid 19 Feb '03

19 Feb '03

Dear Cabinet, A couple of footnote questions: 1. Is there an option for choosing one's own reference mark for any given footnote, like in Plain? 2. Is there a conversion option for the famous nine reference mark sequence (\fnsymbol in LaTeX): star, dagger, double dagger, section, inverted `P', parallel, star-star, dagger-dagger, double dagger-double dagger ? I did not see it in the manual. 3. Is there a way to control the distance between the footnote rule and the firstline of the footnote? 4. ConTeXt places the footnote reference mark just on the outside of the margin. Can I place it inside? Can I indent the first paragraph of the footnote with the reference mark (like in LaTeX)? Unrelated: Can I make an entire document default to oldstyle numbers? (Probably not, since Knuth mapped these glyphs in a strange way). That's the end of the rain shower for now, but I'll be back with more I'm sure;-) Idris

Testing a sample in details.pdf
by Cho, Jin-Hwan 19 Feb '03

19 Feb '03

While I'm testing some examples in details.pdf (http://www.pragma-ade.com/temp/details.pdf) a curious thing happened. Let me assume that I have the following test file (test.tex) which was extracted from details.pdf (p.13) I generated two PDF files, test-1.pdf and test-2.pdf, by the following ways, respectively. 1. The first way Just ran "texexec --pdf test", and got the attached PDF file, test-1.pdf. (Please see the attached file test-1.log too.) 2. The second way (step by step) (a) "texexec --pdf --once test" (b) "texutil --references test" (c) "texexec --pdf --once test" (d) "mpost mpgraph" (e) "texexec --pdf --once test" The curious thing was that the two PDF files were different, especially the embedded MetaPost graphics were different. In my opinion, test-2.pdf seemed to be the right result. === BEGIN test.tex === \setupcolors[state=start] \definecolor[infogray][darkgray] \definecolor[textgray][lightgray] \definetextbackground[intro] [backgroundcolor=infogray, backgroundoffset=.25cm, offset=.5cm, frame=off, location=paragraph, color=white] \definetextbackground[subintro] [backgroundcolor=textgray, backgroundoffset=0pt, offset=0pt, frame=off, location=text, color=blue] \starttext \starttextbackground[intro] A rather common way to draw attention to a passage, is to add a background. In this chapter we will therefore discuss how to enhance your document with \starttextbackground [subintro] colorful areas that either or not follow the shape of your paragraph. \stoptextbackground\ Be warned: this chapter has so many backgrounds that you should consider wearing sunglasses. \stoptextbackground \stoptext === END test.tex === Best, ChoF. -- *** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *** ^ ^ | ChoF := Jin-Hwan Cho | *^ ^* o | chofchof(a)ktug.or.kr | * o * *** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *** *^ ^* | Project Manager of | ^ ^ * O * | DVIPDFMx and MiKTeX-KTUG | O ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | Research Fellow, School of Mathematics | | Korea Institute for Advanced Study | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Expansion problem in natural table
by Simon Pepping 18 Feb '03

18 Feb '03

I have an expansion problem in natural tables. I need to have this: \bTD\XMLDBcontinuepartrue\ignorespaces\XMLflush{revremark}\eTD but \XMLflush{revremark} must be expanded. When I do that using \expanded, \expanded{\bTD\noexpand\XMLDBcontinuepartrue\ignorespaces\XMLflush{#1}}\eTD I get errors when I have compound characters: \XMLDBcontinuepartrue\ignorespaces Kleine \dobuildtextaccent\char 127 A{}nderung It should be \dobuildtextaccent{\char 127} A for it to be valid. Or it should be \buildtextaccent\textdiaeresis A In other words, \XMLflush{#1} should be expanded, but not all the way down. How do I get that? This is my hack, but it is awful because it relies on an exact number of expansions: \expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\def \expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\!!stringa \expandafter\expandafter\expandafter{\csname XML:dat:#1\endcsname} \@EA\bTD\@EA\XMLDBcontinuepartrue\@EA\ignorespaces\!!stringa\eTD} Error log: \XMLDBshowElementTD #1->\expanded {\bTD \noexpand \XMLDBcontinuepartrue \ignore spaces \XMLflush {#1}}\eTD #1<-revremark \expanded #1->\long \edef \@@expanded {\noexpand #1}\@@expanded #1<-\bTD \noexpand \XMLDBcontinuepartrue \ignorespaces \XMLflush {revremark} {\long} {\noexpand} {\noexpand} \XMLflush #1->\csname \@@XMLdata :#1\endcsname #1<-revremark {\csname} \@@XMLdata ->\@@XML dat \@@XML ->XML: \XML:dat:revremark ->Kleine Änderung Ä->\Adiaeresis {} \Adiaeresis ->\dohandlecharacter {Adiaeresis} \dohandlecharacter #1->\csname \ifcsname \characterencoding #1\endcsname \chara cterencoding \else \nocharacterencoding \fi #1\endcsname #1<-Adiaeresis {\csname} {\ifcsname} \characterencoding ->@default@ {true} \characterencoding ->@default@ {\else} \@default@Adiaeresis ->\buildtextaccent \textdiaeresis A \buildtextaccent ->\ifignoreaccent \expandafter \nobuildtextaccent \else \expan dafter \dobuildtextaccent \fi {\iffalse} {false} {\expandafter} {\fi} \textdiaeresis ->\dohandlecharacter {textdiaeresis} \dohandlecharacter #1->\csname \ifcsname \characterencoding #1\endcsname \chara cterencoding \else \nocharacterencoding \fi #1\endcsname #1<-textdiaeresis {\csname} {\ifcsname} \characterencoding ->@default@ {true} \characterencoding ->@default@ {\else} \@default@textdiaeresis ->\char 127 \@@expanded ->\bTD \XMLDBcontinuepartrue \ignorespaces Kleine \dobuildtextaccen t \char 127 A{}nderung \bTD ->\dodoubleempty \parseTD ... snip ... \parseTD [#1][#2]#3\eTD ->\getparameters [\@@tbl ][\c!ny =\tblnr ,\c!nx =\tblnc ,nc=1,nr=1,#1]\doloop {\increment \currentcol \doifnottbltag \maximumrow \curr entcol \exitloop }\let \row \maximumrow \let \col \currentcol \dorecurse {\tbln y } {\let \col \currentcol \settblcol \row \col \tblnx \ifnum \tblnx >\maximumr owspan \relax \let \maximumrowspan \tblnx \fi \dorecurse {\tblnx } {\settbltag \row \col \tblnone \increment \col }\increment \row }\decrement \col \ifnum \co l >\maximumcol \relax \let \maximumcol \col \fi \settbltag \maximumrow \current col \tblcell \settblcol \maximumrow \currentcol \tblnx \settblrow \maximumrow \ currentcol \tblny \edef \celltag {{\maximumrow }{\currentcol }}\@EA \settbltxt \@EA \maximumrow \@EA \currentcol \@EA {\@EA \handleTBLcell \celltag [#1]{#3}} #1<- #2<- #3<-\XMLDBcontinuepartrue \ignorespaces Kleine \dobuildtextaccent \char 127 A{} nderung ... snip ... \dobuildtextaccent #1#2->{\let \char \normalaccent #1\let \char \normalchar #2} #1<-\char #2<-1 {begin-group character {} {\let} {\accent} !

Re: inlining pretty-printed XML

I've looked at the verb-XML module, and verb-ini module, and have have seen hints that it may be possible to typeset XML code snippets, such as <table> into the main text. Is it possible to inline such XML expressions into the main text, using the same color setup as has been defined in the verb-XML macros?

table column alignment
by Bruce D'Arcus 17 Feb '03

17 Feb '03

More on tables and such: Looking through "The Elements of Typographic Style," the author recommends tables be aligned on the decimal or flush right. If there is no decimal in an entry using the decimal alignment, in effect such a number is aligned as if it had a decimal. What you get is something like: 10 10.2 10.34 I cannot seem to do this in ConTeXt. It seem either all figures must have a decimal, or must not. Bruce

Math Euler and mp-graph
by Adam Lindsay 17 Feb '03

17 Feb '03

Hello, Hans, all, I'm trying to finalise my euler-math typescripts and type encodings. It seems to work everywhere, except in metapost mode. It's a mystery. My latest math-eul and type-eul are attached, (play along at home! put them in your tex/context/third directory! Now with eulerbold!) and when the following is run with them, I don't get any decimals in the numerical labels. \usemodule [graph] \startMPenvironment%[global] \usetypescriptfile[type-eul] \usetypescript[eul] \setupbodyfont[eul,10pt] \stopMPenvironment \starttext \startMPcode draw begingraph(100mm,50mm); setcoords(linear,log); setrange(0,0.01,2,1.0); autogrid(itick.bot,itick.lft) withcolor .75white ; endgraph; \stopMPcode \stoptext ...I've tried the same code with math times and computer modern, and they work fine. Does anyone have a clue why metapost/metafun would be inserting something other than a normal mathperiod? That's the only guess I have as to where it might be happening. I spent a morning meditating on mp-form, mp-grph, and the like, but did not reach enlightenment. Can anyone else using m-graph confirm this behaviour?

Dear syndicate, I heard that there is a bibtex module for context somewhere, but I could not find an m-bib module anywhere in tex/base. Is there a bibtex how-to for ConTeXt anywhere? I have a LaTeX file to insert in the journal and I don't want my *.bib database to go to waste;-) Secondary question: Assuming that there IS a bibtex module, can I place separate bibliographies from a single .bib file for separate chapters. That is, from a single journal.bib, can I generate a separate bibliography for each article? Idris
