How can I input Join?
by Yue Wang 23 Sep '09

23 Sep '09

Hi, I am doing my logic homework using ConTeXt. the command \Join (ref. http://w2.syronex.com/jmr/tex/texsym.old.html) seems to be missing in ConTeXt. (I searched showmathcharacters in context) How can I input that? Thanks Yue Wang

Mark IV

22 Sep '09

All, Hans recommended I contact the list with my inquiry. I'm running Leopard on a Mac, using Mactex, texlive 2008. I've updated my context with: sudo ctxtools --updatecontext On a first run of ctxtools, I get this error: loading : ConTeXt Core Macros / Environments ! Undefined control sequence. <argument> ...def \@EA \noexpand \csname \e!start \v!setups \endcsname {\beg... \expanded ...\long \xdef \@@expanded {\noexpand #1 }\@@expanded l.212 ...xpand\csname\e!stop\v!setups\endcsname}}} I hit "s" several time to scroll through the errors til it finishes, then run the command again: sudo ctxtools --updatecontext This time it seems to complete with no errors. This seem OK to folks? Now, I'd like to give MKIV a try. I see the following instructions: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Running_Mark_IV Are they adequate for my platform? That is, will they work if I follow them to the letter? Or do folks have other advice? Thanks.

[OT] CMap Resources
by luigi scarso 22 Sep '09

22 Sep '09

http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/cmap Welcome to CMap Resources! CMap (Character Map) resources are used to unidirectionally map character codes, such as a Unicode encoding form, to CIDs (Characters IDs, meaning glyphs) of a CIDFont resource. CMap resources, like CIDFont resources, include a /CIDSystemInfo dictionary that specifies /Registry and /Ordering strings that must match for compatibility between the two resources. In other words, a CMap resource can be used with a CIDFont resource only if their /Registry and /Ordering strings match. Although originally designed for use with CIDFont resources, CMap resources are also used for other purposes, such as by AFDKO's MakeOTF tool for building 'cmap' tables for OpenType fonts when the source font is a CIDFont resource. The CMap resources that are available are for the latest character collections, specifically Adobe-Identity-0, Adobe-GB1-5, Adobe-CNS1-5, Adobe-Japan1-6, and Adobe-Korea1-2. All of the CMap resources that are associated with each character collection are included. -- luigi

I believe that >2sec for processing a single page plain text document is ridiculous. Given modern computer power, I suppose it can be done instantly. (Or am I are mistaken?) Regards, Vyatcheslav

vardef with @# not working within context
by Matthijs Kooijman 22 Sep '09

22 Sep '09

Hi all, I've been fiddling around with metaobj a bit, but defining my own objects failed. After some debugging, I've reduced this to a metapost / context MkIV issue (so no metaobj specifics anymore). What happens, is that vardefs that use @# as a placeholder in their name only work when they are defined in an external .mp file. When I define them inside context (\startMPcode or \startMPinclusions), I get funny errors (mostly "Isolated expression", which seems to mean that the macro is not defined). I suspect this is because the way context extracts metapost code. Is this a fundamental problem, or could it be fixed? The following context file will easily reproduce the problem: \starttext \startMPcode vardef foo = draw (0mm,0mm)--(10mm,10mm); enddef; foo; vardef xy@# = (@#,@#) enddef ; draw xy0mm -- xy10mm; \stopMPcode \stoptext Running this file gives the following (first) error: mplib | mp terminal: >> xy0mm ! Improper `addto'. To illustrate that this is specific to the use of @#, I've included the foo vardef which does work properly. When I move the vardef xy.. line to a separate file, say foo.mp, and replace it with "input foo;", the errors disappear. Gr. Matthijs

Small caps problem/bug with some fonts
by Mika Ritola 22 Sep '09

22 Sep '09

Hello all, For some reason, the snippet below outputs 'ThOMAS' instead of 'THOMAS.' This seems to be font dependent; at least Adobe Jenson Pro and Adobe Garamond Pro produce 'Th,' while the other fonts that I've tried produce 'TH', as expected. I don't know whether the bug exists in the fonts themselves or in the way they are handled by ConTeXt or the Simplefonts module, or possibly some other part of the system. In any case, could you suggest a work-around, please? I'm using ConText version 2009.09.16 20:07 and Simplefonts version 2009.09.15. \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[Adobe Jenson Pro] \starttext {\sc Thomas} \stoptext Thanks in advance, Mika

setting variable on cmd-line
by Peter Münster 21 Sep '09

21 Sep '09

Hello, I've a little feature request: It would be nice, to have a command line option like "--setvalue x=y" or similar for the "context" command to define a variable for the job. Modes are already very nice, but often I need just one value for conditional compiling a document instead of many binary switches. Perhaps the "context --arguments" option is what I'm looking for, but I didn't find how to use it. Another option would be, to make the name of the result-file ("context --result=...") available, for example as "\resultname". Cheers, Peter -- Contact information: http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

by Wolfgang Schuster 21 Sep '09

21 Sep '09

Hi all, I uploaded a new version of the letter module that deals with the recent changes in the MkIV spacing model, as a result of this you need todays beta (2009.09.21) or later. For MkII users this message is unimportant because the changes don't affect them and older installations can be used without problems, if there are problems report them and I will fix it. Wolfgang

Need help with bibliography
by Mika Ritola 21 Sep '09

21 Sep '09

Hello, I'm planning to write my Master's thesis in history using ConTeXt, and I've done some experimenting on it to see if it's actually suitable for my purposes. Everything seems to be quite simple except for one thing: the bibliography. The bibliography guidelines for our history department are rather complex in comparison to the formats that come packaged with ConTeXt, and I have no idea how to implement them. So far, I've run into two problems: 1. This one's probably very simple: there's the /insertauthors macro for inserting the whole name of the author. But how do you insert just the last name of the author? 2. This one, on the other hand, is likely to be rather non-trivial: the bibliography needs to be broken up into several categories of sources. For example, audiovisual sources, newspaper sources and books should be listed under separate headings, somewhat like this: BIBLIOGRAPHY I. AUDIOVISUAL SOURCES [some sources] II. NEWSPAPER SOURCES [...] III. BOOKS [...] I've tried to decipher the source code of the Bib module but as I'm not particularly fluent in TeX, I haven't been able to make much headway so far. I'd appreciate some hints on where to start with this. I don't suppose there's any existing code for something like this? Maybe I'd be better off writing the bibliography by hand? Thanks for reading, Mika

Hi! First, sorry to have sent the previous message twice. I didn't check for the sending email, received a bounce, resent to discover it passed to the list. I have downloaded a great part of the documentation (59 files or so). But if I understood well, there has been big changes between Mark II and Mark IV/Lua. The documentation seems more linked to MkII. Is mk.pdf the file to use (in conjonction with another?)?

First report on use
by Alain Delmotte 17 Sep '09

17 Sep '09

Hi! After discovering some details of ConTeXt during EuroTeX2009 I decided to try it. First problem, already encountered during EuroTeX: installation. On both of my machines the installation of the minimals failed. See attached file. For example: lines 13-14 rsync error, but at lines 26-30 it looks like it works, just a moment: after 30-35 I get 36-37 = error again. On lines 77-80 there is another type of error. But I installed ConTeXt from a copy of what Mari had on her portable (this brings other questions, later); so it works for now. But still in the error file, looking at lines 97-98 and 99-100, for example, what is the installation program changing in my mikTeX installation? ------- Now for the working installation. 1) As it was taken from Mari machine, isn't there possible problems with parameters from her machine which are not the same on mine? 2) How can update and/or create new formats? I am using ConTeXt with TeXworks; I did install a full copy of TeXworks (programs and dlls) in C:\Programmes\ConTeXt\texmf-context\context\data\texworks and I issue the setuptex.bat command before to start the ConTeXt TeXworks. (You can see that I installed ConTeXt in a folder without spaces in the name: C:\Programmes\ConTeXt\.) I am only using Mark IV, following the suggestion of Hans (for French,...) So I didn't install Ruby. OK the next questions will be about documentation, in another message. Thanks very much for ConTeXt (and again for EuroTeX2009 - it was very good).

It will not interfere if you uncheck "Set env. vars globally option" during installation. Then, it's safe.

new beta
by Hans Hagen 16 Sep '09

16 Sep '09

Hi, I uploaded a new mkiv beta. Apart from a few fixes, the main new thing is that the new vertical spacing model is now used. (I will cleanup everything related to spacing and grid snappin glater). This new mechanism was discussed at the context meeting. I have been testing it for quite a while and it seems to work out ok, Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Beamer for ConTeXt?
by Xan 16 Sep '09

16 Sep '09

Hi, Is there any package like beamer for ConTeXt. I know there is "mode" way for doing presentacions in ConTeXt but I'm refering to any way for doing the frames, etc. faster and easier..... Perhaps simple-slides [http://github.com/adityam/simple-slides]? Xan.

oldstyle numbers
by Arno Trautmann 16 Sep '09

16 Sep '09

Hi, I’m new to ConTeXt and try to compile a document using XeTeX. Loading an otf font works fine, but I don’t get it to use oldstyle numbers. google and contextgarden did give me some hints, but I didn’t get it working. I tried: \starttext \definetypeface[normalfont][rm][Xserif][Arno Pro] \stoptext and several versions of things like [features=oldstyle], [onum=true], \definefontfeature[mine] with oldstyle etc. but nothing worked. So what am I doing wrong? Is there a simple way for oldstyle numbers? (I want them in the whole document, so I prefer a simple, global solution.) cheers, Arno

First report on use
by Alain Delmotte 16 Sep '09

16 Sep '09

Hi! After discovering some details of ConTeXt during EuroTeX2009 I decided to try it. First problem, already encountered during EuroTeX: installation. On both of my machines the installation of the minimals failed. See attached file. For example: lines 13-14 rsync error, but at lines 26-30 it looks like it works, just a moment: after 30-35 I get 36-37 = error again. On lines 77-80 there is another type of error. But I installed ConTeXt from a copy of what Mari had on her portable (this brings other questions, later); so it works for now. But still in the error file, looking at lines 97-98 and 99-100, for example, what is the installation program changing in my mikTeX installation? ------- Now for the working installation. 1) As it was taken from Mari machine, isn't there possible problems with parameters from her machine which are not the same on mine? 2) How can update and/or create new formats? I am using ConTeXt with TeXworks; I did install a full copy of TeXworks (programs and dlls) in C:\Programmes\ConTeXt\texmf-context\context\data\texworks and I issue the setuptex.bat command before to start the ConTeXt TeXworks. (You can see that I installed ConTeXt in a folder without spaces in the name: C:\Programmes\ConTeXt\.) I am only using Mark IV, following the suggestion of Hans (for French,...) So I didn't install Ruby. OK the next questions will be about documentation, in another message. Thanks very much for ConTeXt (and again for EuroTeX2009 - it was very good).

Re: [NTG-context] about \sym{} and n*broad
by Dalyoung 16 Sep '09

Dear Hans, Thank you for the correction. After swapping first and second as you told, I got the good result. I have another question. If I use 4*broad in the first level itemization, it seems to me that it inherently applied to the second and third level too. Even though I set just serried or broad instead of 4*broad in the second or the third level, it seems to be ignored. Is it normal? Thank you again. Best regards, Dalyoung

bibmod: forcing a key for alphabetical sorting
by Sanjoy Mahajan 15 Sep '09

15 Sep '09

I'm arranging the bibliography of my math textbook alphabetial by author and it mostly works, but a couple entries are tricky. For example: @Book{Census:1992, author = {US Bureau of the Census}, title = {Statistical Abstracts of the United States: 1992}, publisher = {Government Printing Office}, year = 1992, address = {Washington, DC}, edition = {112th}} Using the settings \setupbibtex[database=../project, sort=author] \setuppublications[alternative=num, sorttype=bbl] it turns into this entry in the .bbl file: \startpublication[k=Census:1992,t=book, a={{of~the Census}},y=1992, n=7,s=otC92] \author[]{US~Bureau}[U.~B.]{of~the}{Census} \pubyear{1992} \title{Statistical Abstracts of the United States: 1992} \city{Washington, DC} \pubname{Government Printing Office} \edition{112th} \stoppublication I tried inserting a key={US Census} line in the bibtex entry, but the key seems to be ignored if there's already an author key (based on a moderately long stare at the cont-au.bst file). How could I trick bibtex into believing that the author's last name is "US", so that the entry would be placed with the "U" entries? -Sanjoy

Dear Jan-Erik, I tested your suggestion. Your method produce new line after Type 1, but I want to write "Type 1" and "This is a test." in the same line. And I have seen 4*broad in an example in the manual. In the example, it is used to set the distance, I think. Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung

subformulas end theorems in Mark IV
by Yury G. Kudryashov 15 Sep '09

15 Sep '09

Hello! I've tried the following example (from wiki): \starttext \startsubformulas[eq:1] \placeformula[eq:first] \startformula c^2 = a^2 + b^2 \stopformula \placeformula[eq:second] \startformula c^2 = a^2 + b^2 \stopformula \stopsubformulas Formula (\in[eq:1]) states the Pythagora's Theorem twice, once in (\in[eq:first]) and again in (\in[eq:second]). \stoptext I get "Formula (??) states the Pythagora's Theorem twice, once in (1) and again in (2)." In log I see 'unknown reference [][eq:1]'. I also have label/ref problem with theorems. I define \defineenumeration[theorem][text=Theorem,location=serried,right=.] Later I use \starttheorem[thm:bony:random:open] ... \stoptheorem, \in{theorem} [thm:bony:random:open], and get just 'theorem' instead of 'theorem 1'. -- Yury G.

about \sym{} and n*broad
by dalyoung 15 Sep '09

15 Sep '09

Dear all, I try next code to get the following form of text. \startitemize[4*broad] \sym{Type 1} This is a test. bla bla ...bla bla bla ...bla bla bla \sym{Type 2} This is the second item. bla bla bla ... bla bla bla \stopitemize Type 1 This is a test. bla bla bla ... bla bla bla Type 2 This is the second item bla bla bla ... bla bla bla however, I got the overlapped output such as "This is a test" started from the position of p in Type. Chaing number 4 in 4*broad to another number doesn't work. Is there a good way to do that? Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung

Reference to formula does not work?
by Mingyang Sun 15 Sep '09

15 Sep '09

Hi all, Say I have a formula that is numbered as "1.1". The problem is when I use \in to refer to that formula, the reference only shows a number "1", and if interaction is enabled, the link does not work neither. The following is the code I use: \setupinteraction[state=start,focus=standard] \starttext \chapter{Test} \section{Test} \placeformula[eq:test] \startformula a + b \stopformula Eq \in[eq:test] \section{Test 2} \placeformula[eq:testtwo] \startformula a + b \stopformula Eq \in[eq:testtwo] \stoptext Another question is, how to make formula number without the chapter number?. Thanks~~ -- There is no emotion; there is peace. There is no ignorance; there is knowledge. There is no passion; there is serenity. There is no death; there is the Force.

white color turns black inside a table
by Mojca Miklavec 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

Hello, I have problems with the following minimal example (I only want to typeset white labels inside the table), but maybe I'm the only one again: \setupcolors[state=start] \starttext \startcolor[white] \placetable[force]{none}{\starttable[|r|] \NC \color[red]{me} \AR \stoptable} \placetable[force]{none}{\def\a#1{\color[white]{#1}}\starttable[|r|l|] \NC \a{one} \NC \a{one} \AR \NC \a{two} \NC \a{two} \AR \stoptable} \placetable[force]{none}{\starttable[|r|] \NC \color[white]{me} \AR \stoptable} \stopcolor \stoptext I get black labels instead of white ones in the second and third table. Any idea what goes wrong? I'm using mkii. Mojca

\setuparranging with margins
by Maurício CA 14 Sep '09

Hi, Can I use \setuparranging (with, say, [2*4]), but asking for a specific margin between pages? Like asking for 4 A5 pages / sheet, but with always 2 cm between pages edges? Thanks, Maurício

simplefonts
by Wolfgang Schuster 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

Hi all, I uploaded a new (29th August :) release of the simplefonts module, the biggest changes are: - different names for the keys to select fonts in the case bold, italic etc. alternatives are not found, each of the key ends now with ..font, e.g. italicfont, boldfont, bolditalicfont ... - the command name to define a typeface (\definetypeface) is now \definesimplefonttypeface but this will eventually change again - I added keys to enable font expansion and protrusion, you can use them with \setupsimplefonts what will affect all fonts or with \set..font which will affect only the current style Wolfgang
