by R. Bastian 06 Oct '09

Hello, i like the sansserif, 10 pt font. My texts are from time to time scattered (? parsemées) with maths expressions (A_i etc). How is it possible to get the sansserif font ? (now i write A$_i$ but it is not at the best ...) Thanks -- René Bastian www.pythoneon.org www.musiques-rb.org

Creating documents in a batch file
by Wolfgang Miurth 05 Oct '09

05 Oct '09

Hi, I tried to find out how to create pdf files from multiple sources in a batch file, but I could not find a solution. Always after the first document the batch files ends and no further documents are created. My Windows batch file looked like this (Every student has his own pdf file): >setlocal enabledelayedexpansion >call C:\Programme\context\tex\setuptex.bat C:\Programme\context >mtxrun.cmd --autogenerate --script context --batch --pdf student_1.tex >mtxrun.cmd --autogenerate --script context --batch --pdf student_2.tex >mtxrun.cmd --autogenerate --script context --batch --pdf student_3.tex >mtxrun.cmd --autogenerate --script context --batch --pdf student_4.tex I also tried texexec but without success. What am I doing wrong and how can I fix this? Thanks for your help. Wolfgang Murth

tex to txt/doc
by Ciro Soto 05 Oct '09

05 Oct '09

Is there any quick way to print the output of context in txt format? I could do: context-> pdf->txt, but may there is a direct way to do that...? I don't care about the formatting, it is just the text that I am interested in. The reason is that my editor does not understand context (or tex) so I send her txt (or doc) file for the editing. thank you Ciro

activating font specific ligatures
by Peter Rolf 01 Oct '09

01 Oct '09

Hi, I'm currently adding some otf-fonts (MinionPro,MyriadPro from Designer8.2) to ConTeXt. I use the following font feature for MinionPro: \definefontfeature[minion][script=latn,liga=yes,kern=yes,tlig=yes,trep=yes,onum=yes] Most ligature work with this setting, but ch ck ct ij IJ sp ss st do not. Also the ligatures for small caps (some are defined) do not work at all. Is there a way to manually select the ligatures of a font? I like to activate the ch-,ch-ligatures (c_h E085, c_k E086), but not the too playful ct-,sp-,st-ligatures. I can live without all this, but it would be nice to use the possibilities of the font. Any hint is welcome. Greetings, Peter

Passing variables into context
by Matthijs Kooijman 30 Sep '09

30 Sep '09

Hi all, I've been trying to make a metapost graphic, based on the \textwidth. However, it seems I can't just pass in \textwidth as an option. For example, the following breaks: \startuniqueMPgraphic{HLine} draw origin -- (\MPvar{width}, 0mm); \stopuniqueMPgraphic \starttext \setupMPvariables[HLine][width=\textwidth] \uniqueMPgraphic{HLine} \stoptext with the following error: mplib | mp terminal: >> textwidth ! Undefined x coordinate has been replaced by 0. <to be read again> ; <*> ...d:=3441; draw origin -- (\textwidth , 0mm); It seems that the \textwidth option is not expanded before being passed to MP. Is there any way to force this expansion? I've tried \expandafter (without really understanding what that does), but that didn't help. I've tried putting this graphic as an overlay under an \framed, which allows me to use the \overlaywidth macro in metapost (which I assume is expanded specially by context?). This worked, but is not very elegant. Is there something more straightforward possible? Gr. Matthijs

end footnotes before new chapter starts?

Hi, is there a way to end ("flush") footnotes of a chapter before the next chapters starts? Please have a look at this double-page spread below, please: http://werksatz.com/attachments/spread.pdf Footnote no. 37 should be the first footnote that is printed under the footnote line of the first page of the new chapter (right). This is even more important/annoying when footnote numbering starts at "1" with a new chapter!! Steffen (at MkII)

\pagereference changes spacing in displayed formula
by Sanjoy Mahajan 27 Sep '09

27 Sep '09

Using a \pagereference in a displayed formula slightly changes the horizontal spacing. The shift is small, roughly the thickness of an integral sign. I don't know whether that's considered a bug. Here is the test file. The control test file is the same but without the \pagereference line. \starttext \startformula \pagereference[one]% \int \stopformula \stoptext I noticed the problem on my laptop (Debian, TeXLive 2007, ConTeXt 2008.10.31 13:58) and on the live ConTeXt just now.

German language settings
by Thomas Floeren 26 Sep '09

26 Sep '09

Hi, anybody at any time should add the appropriate settings for German to the lang-ger.tex file: \unprotect \setuplabeltext [\s!de] [\v!page=Seite~] \setuplabeltext [\s!de] [\v!atpage=auf Seite~] \setuplabeltext [\s!de] [\v!hencefore=oben] \setuplabeltext [\s!de] [\v!hereafter=unten] \protect \setuplanguage [de] [lefthyphenmin=2,righthyphenmin=3] \setuphyphenmark[sign=normal] This is no major problem, but it is inconvenient to have to add the settings each and any time when you make a new document, or to have a corrrection file in your texmf-local (not the proper way). The lefthyphenmin=2 may be subject to discuss, but in real life this is the way we separate words. I know that it was considered ugly by some people/insitutions, but I think these considerations are rather obsolete. Set it to 3 if your doc has >90 letters/line in general. But this shouldn't be the default setting. Think of all the prefixed verbs 'ergreifen', 'erstatten' etc. It *may* lead to *some* unwanted separations, but this should be handled by the hyphenation patterns. Best wishes Thomas

Hi all, A few days ago I started a wiki page about the intentional and/or unavoidable differences between MKIV and MKII. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/MkIV_Differences The page is not intended for actual bugs, but: if you know of any 'disturbing' differences please add them to that page, then Hans and I can investigate whether the difference is intentional or a bug. Best wishes, Taco

Numbering of "sub"-header
by Flavien Lambert 26 Sep '09

26 Sep '09

Dear all, I am using Mark IV from the minimals. I have a problem concerning the numbering fo my "sub-header". I defined exercices in the following way : % Titres \setuphead[subject][textstyle={\bfc},align=left,after=\hairline] % Commandes \def\exnu#1{% \framed[width=1.5em,corner=06,background=color,backgroundcolor=myGray,foreground=color,foregroundcolor=white]{#1}% } \definehead[exercice][subsection] \setuphead[exercice][textstyle={\bf},numberstyle={},numbercommand=\exnu] A few months ago, when using Mark II, the numbering of exercice was continuous even if new sujects were introduced. But now, the numbering is reinitialized when I put a subject. Can I go back to the previous behaviour ? Sincerely, -- Flavien. ---------------------------- "Quantum objects are completely crazy but, at least, they are all crazy in the same way." R.P. Feynman.

Another small caps problem with some fonts (and old-style figures)
by Mika Ritola 24 Sep '09

24 Sep '09

Hello again, I just discovered another weird problem with small caps when using some fonts, e.g. Adobe Jenson Pro or Adobe Garamond Pro. When old-style figures are enabled, the code below generates "GEOff" instead of "GEOFF". Another ligature bug, it seems -- which is strange because I don't see why old-style figures should affect ligatures at all (not that I know anything about these things), and also because the second line should disable ligatures in small caps altogether. \usemodule[simplefonts] \definefontfeature[smallcaps][smallcaps][liga=no] \setfontfeature{oldstyle} \setmainfont[Adobe Jenson Pro] \starttext {\sc Geoff} \stoptext I'm using the latest beta from yesterday. Again, I'd appreciate a workaround for this, apart from disabling old-style figures. Thanks, Mika P.S. Thanks to everyone who's replied to my bibliography questions. I'll get back to it as soon as I've had time to try out the suggestions.

textcolor (mkii)

Hi, while struggling with my colortest for overprinting I run into this curious test case. Mkiv is running fine, but mkii gives no color (block 1 is black instead of blue) or the color is 'shifted' one line into the next textcolor block (block 3 and 4: 'Blue text.' is black and 'Black text.' is blue). Example attached.

Using MetaPost to create fonts
by Alain Delmotte 24 Sep '09

24 Sep '09

Hi! I have the impression that I did see that MetaPost can be used to create full fonts and not only pictures. (In fact to keep the potential of METAFONT, but extending it to OpenType /PostScript/TrueType (??) fonts.) I even think there was mention about Perl in this respect. Did I dream or not (yes I start to dream about ConTeXt and MetaPost !!!). Could you point me to the right direction and provide links and/or email address of the persons who are involved? Thanks, -- Alain

MKIV on Mactex Texlive 2008
by David Arnold 24 Sep '09

24 Sep '09

All, I am using Mactex Texlive 2008 on a Macbook pro. I did this: sudo ctxtools --updatecontext After reading http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Running_Mark_IV, I tried: sudo rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/context/ current/ /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/ sudo rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/bin/luatex/ osx-universal/bin/luatex /usr/local/texlive/2008/bin/ Then I try: david-arnolds-macbook-pro:~ darnold$ sudo luatools --generate And I get: sudo: luatools: command not found Then I tried: david-arnolds-macbook-pro:~ darnold$ luatools --generate The result was: -bash: /usr/texbin/luatools: Permission denied Trying the context command yields the same result: david-arnolds-macbook-pro:~ darnold$ context --make Result: -bash: /usr/texbin/context: Permission denied So, there is some sort of permissions problem. We looked at this: david-arnolds-macbook-pro:texbin darnold$ cd /usr/texbin david-arnolds-macbook-pro:texbin darnold$ ls -l lua* lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 6 May 13 17:46 lualatex -> luatex -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 8009384 Aug 13 2008 luatex lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 49 May 13 17:46 luatools -> ../../ texmf-dist/scripts/context/lua/luatools.lua And tried: david-arnolds-macbook-pro:texbin darnold$ ls -l ../../texmf-dist/ scripts/context/lua/luatools.lua -rw-r--r-- 1 33 33 222585 Aug 14 01:50 ../../texmf-dist/scripts/ context/lua/luatools.lua And see that this file is not executable, so we try: david-arnolds-macbook-pro:texbin darnold$ sudo chmod +x ../../texmf- dist/scripts/context/lua/luatools.lua Now the following works. david-arnolds-macbook-pro:texbin darnold$ luatools --generate But this piecemeal approach to making things executable might go on and on. Can someone give a more universal cure? Is there an entire directory of scripts that need to be executable? Thanks. David

ConTeXt minimals for arch linux
by Aditya Mahajan 23 Sep '09

23 Sep '09

Hi all, Any context users using arch linux out there? I have packaged context-minimals for arch linux. It is basically the first-setup.sh script simplified for arch linux (no platform checking, etc). I also modified the setuptex script to make sure it works in a multiuser environment (basically setting TEXMFCACHE to $HOME/texmf-cache). The PKGBUILD is available at http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=30398 To install packages from AUR, you need to install yaourt http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Yaourt and then you can install context using yaourt -S context-minimals-git (the -git extension is just to coax yaourt to keep the downloaded files, so that rsync makes sense). It installs the minimals at /opt/context-minimals Aditya

metaobj and luatex 0.42.0
by Matthew Claus 23 Sep '09

23 Sep '09

Hello everyone, First, thanks for making this list such a great resource. I've installed a fresh minimals on windows using first-setup.bat. This seems to have installed luatex 0.40.6 which led to errors making the formats (message indicated at least 0.42 was needed). I think the presence of the older luatex version for windows was recently noted on another thread. So, I installed 0.42.0 and remade the formats. This minimal example works with "texexec example.tex" but fails with "context example.tex". \startMPinclusions input metaobj; \stopMPinclusions \starttext \startMPpage newBox.a(\sometxt{hello world}); a.c = origin; drawObj(a); \stopMPpage \stoptext Is this expected to work (I realize the 0.42.0 is very new) Am I doing something wrong?

MKIV in TL2009
by Aditya Mahajan 23 Sep '09

23 Sep '09

Hi Hans and Taco, Perphas you guys already know this, but mkiv does not run in TL09. I tried generating the format and I get !!!!: Your luatex binary is way too old, you need at least version 0.42. The included luatex binary is (the date seems wrong?) Version beta-0.40.6-2009090923 (TeX Live 2009/Arch Linux) luatex.web >= v14240 Does this basically mean that in order to use mkiv with TL, I have to manually update the luatex binary? Aditya
