get rid of placefigure and startcombination captions
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 24 Jun '09

24 Jun '09

Hello, Another urgent problem: how to get rid of placefigure and startcombination captions altogether? When I use the following, I get too much wasted space after the illustration. \placefigure [fit] {none} {\startcombination[4*1] {\externalfigure[serg1][width=4cm]} {} {\externalfigure[serg2][width=4cm]} {} {\externalfigure[serg3][width=4cm]} {} {\externalfigure[serg4][width=4cm]} {} \stopcombination} Best, Vyatcheslav

Hi Hans, when will you provide propor keys to execute commands/settings at the begin and end of a section, I want to use them in a document to prevent extra markup but the only way to do this at the moment is with the two tokens registers \everybeforestructurehead and \everyafterstructurehead.

Pretty print SQL broken? Or am I doing something wrong?
by Gerben Wierda 24 Jun '09

24 Jun '09

verb-sql.tex seems not to work correctly. Is it broken or am I doing something wrong? I call it as this: \definetyping[SQL][option=color,numbering=line,bodyfont=9pt] \defineoverlay[ifsqoverlay][\overlayfigure{IfSQ-overlay.pdf}] \setupcolors[state=start] \setuplayout[leftmargin=10mm,rightmargin=0mm,footer=0mm,header=5mm] \setuppapersize[A4,landscape][a4,landscape] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=ifsqoverlay] \setuptyping[SQL][palet=colorpretty] \starttext \typefile[SQL][]{test2.txt} \stoptext I get rather strange coloration. I would expect comments to be colored differently, but only start and end character are. When I run PL/SQL through the formatter, variable names as bar_foo get only the _ colored, etc.

Problem on switching typefaces
by Maurício 22 Jun '09

22 Jun '09

In the example below, all text printed on body font is okay. However, the text inside braces disapears. Problem seems not to be with specific typeface, as 'chorus' shows properly when used as body font. Also, changing chorus for others (palatino, chermes, schola, pagella etc.) do not solve the problem. What do you think I'm doing wrong? Thanks, Maurício %%%%%%%%%%% \usetypescriptfile[type-gentium] \usetypescript[gentium] \usetypescript[chorus] \setupbodyfont[gentium,22pt] \starttext Text on body font. { \switchtotypeface[chorus][rm] Text on special typeface. } More body font text. \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%

Empty lines in text floats are not shown
by Aleksandr Sinicyn 22 Jun '09

22 Jun '09

Hello, I would like to ask a question about empty lines in "\starttabulate ... \stoptabulate" block. I have defined the following float object description for placing code listings in text: \definefloat[codelisting][code listings] Then I use it together with "typefile", "\starttabulate ... \stoptabulate" and "splitfloat" to split source code listing to multiple pages: \starttext \start \setupcaptions[location=top] \splitfloat [lines=auto] { \placecodelisting [here] [codelisting:homework.cpp] {File {\em homework.cpp} contents} } { \starttabulate[|lp(1.0\textwidth)|] \NC \typefile[option=C, tab=8, palet=colorpretty, numbering=line]{../homework.cpp} \NC \SR \stoptabulate } \stop \stoptext Everything works fine except that empty lines that were present in the file "homework.cpp" do not appear in the listing. I have tried to replace "\starttabulate ... \stoptabulate" with "\starttable ... \stoptable" - in that case empty lines are shown, but splitting no longer works, that is text is truncated to one page and no figure title appears. Maybe there is a way to enable showing empty lines in "\starttabulate .. \stoptabulate" block? Thanks for help! -- http://www.fastmail.fm - IMAP accessible web-mail

Latest XML advice.
by John Culleton 21 Jun '09

21 Jun '09

I have in hand a huge document (587 modules) in xml DocBook format. It constitutes the documentation for Gimp. I also have the Context xml manual but can't seem to figure out how to make it work. The root document (or what I assume is the root document) contains statements like this: <part> <title>Getting Started</title> <chapter id="introduction"> <title>Introduction</title> <xi:include href="introduction.xml"/> <xi:include href="introduction/whats-new.xml"/> </chapter> and so on. When I tried simply texexec gimp.xml I got a one page document that listed the titles in one long string but none of the content of the subdocs referenced. So I added near the top \defineXMLenvironment [gimp] {(} {)} \enableXML and got more or less the same results.

ConTeXt minimals installation problem

Hallo, gentlemen. I've just tried to install the latest stable ConTeXt minimals on my new system (SuSE Linux 11.1).

If I try run texexec --make --all manually, I get this error: ...<TEXROOTDIR>/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/mtxrun:8707: attempt to concatenate a nil value What am I doing wrong? How can I install it?

math and palatino
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 19 Jun '09

19 Jun '09

Dear gang, [mkiv only] What is the best available math font for use with Pagella/Palatino? [Hint: it's not LM] I had to roll my own typescript so what I need to fill in is the commented line below \definetypeface [pagella_ar] [rm] [serif] [pagella_arabic] % [pagella_arabic] % \definetypeface [pagella_ar] [mm] [math] [palatino] [default] Uncommenting the above gives me an incomplete math font that does not look good. Any ideas on getting this right? Is there an otf euler option?

Lots of problems in mkiv

I've recently started using mkiv because of the fonts, but I have found lots of things that don't work.

Can someone, PLEASE, tell me if they get any of the following problems with mkiv (I've included code snippets): Everything below works perfectly in mkii. 1) References to equations appear as '??' in the final document \placeformula[eq:pythag] \startformula a^2 = b^2 + c^2 \stopformula Pythagoras proposed \in{equation}[eq:pythag]. 2) References to footnotes appear as '??' inside \startlocalfootnotes...\stoplocalfootnotes \startlocalfootnotes This has a note.\footnote[fn]{Footnote.} See note \note[fn]. \stoplocalfootnotes 3) References to sections are repeated (e.g. reference to section 1 appears as '11' or ref to section 1.1 appears as '1.11.1') \section[sec:one]{Section one} It was in \in{section}[sec:one]. 4) \digits command falls over at periods or commas with "\textfont1 is undefined (character 58)." \digits{1.6} 5) \infull command does not work for abbreviations: falls over with "Missing } inserted." \abbreviation {KF} {Kalman filter} Rudolph Kalman invented the \infull{KF}.

Re: [NTG-context] Using a tikz package

My knowlegde of LaTeX equals that as well, so ... :) :) :) I'm putting this back to the mailing list since I should be studying instead of playing with TeX now ... > Could you suggest to me a good starting point to find out differences > and incompatibilities of Latex and Context? ConTeXt knows and respects 99% of plain TeX commands. So only LaTeX-specific ones will need to be fixed. I suggest to take a look at pgfplots or TikZ package itself to see how the differences are implemented. If you are ready to adapth the package to ConTeX, plain TeX support could be done at the same time for no extra cost, I guess. I suspect that almost all of your code works out of the box already anyway. These are the most obvious exceptions, but I didn't inspect closely enough, so there might be others: \NeedsTeXFormat -> no equivalent in ConTeXt (and is not needed) \RequirePackage{name} -> \usemodule[name] \RequirePackage{xstring} -> no idea what it does; it might be that the functionality of this package will have to be adapted/implemented in ConTeXt or something else will have to be done \DeclareOption -> it might be that this needs to be implemented in semi-low-level ConTeXt (you'll get help on this mailing list); maybe that's the most work, but once you have a single example you just copy-paste \ExecuteOptions \ProcessOptions \newcommand -> in ConTeXt one would use the "plain-TeX" \def\commandname#1#2... \newenvironment{circuitikz}{ \begin{tikzpicture}}{\end{tikzpicture}} -> \long\def\startcircuitikz#1\stoptikzcircuitikz{\starttikzpicture#1\stoptikzpicture} You can take a look at pgfplots for example. They put all the code to tex/generic/pgfplots and only a single file to tex/latex/pgfplots. The beginning of circuitikz.sty should go to tex/latex/circuitikz/circuitikz.sty, while the "contents" of that file and probably all other files should better have the ending "tex" and go to tex/generic/circuitikz/...(I don't know exact conventions of tikz).code.tex and you should create a file in tex/context/third/circuitikz/t-circuitikz.tex that starts approximately like this: % some nice header, but you may worry about that later \def\pgfcircversion{0.2.1} \writestatus{loading}{2009/04/17 The CircuiTikz circuit drawing package version \pgfcircversion} \startmodule[circuitikz] \unprotect % this sets the catcodes of @ and ! to letter (if needed) \usemodule[tikz] \usetikzlibrary[calc] \usepgflibrary[decorations.pathmorphing] % maybe some ConTeXt-specific initialisations % load all the generic file(s) that you need \input nameofyourfile.code.tex % define the environment \long\def\startcircuitikz#1\stopcircuitikz{\starttikzpicture#1\stoptikzpicture} \stopmodule \protect \doifnotmode{demo}{\endinput} % you may put some simple sample document below In order to test the package: % \usemodule[tikz] % maybe you don't need this if you load circuitikz already \usemodule[circuitikz][american] \starttext \startcircuitikz .... \stopcircuitikz \stoptext But I'm sure that the list will help you further with implementation details ...

I would like to use this package for drawing circuits: http://home.dei.polimi.it/mredaelli/circuitikz/index.html The examples are in Latex, but I imagine it could be used in ConTeXt since it's written using Tikz. How can I do that? The recomended instalation procedure at the website is to just uncompress everything in texmf-local directory, but that creates a 'latex' directory that I imagine ConTeXt won't use. Thanks, Maurício

Commissioned work - we're looking for a ConTeXt person to help us finishing a 200+ pages multi-lingual art book (with Xetex?)
by Pierre Huyghebaert 13 Jun '09

13 Jun '09

Dear list, I'm part of a design group Open Source Publishing, and we use ConTeXt for a few months now. The main goal is to produce a 200+ pages multi- lingual art book for which we have in the past months some exchanges with kind members of the list about font install and Xetex. I currently work more on the design itself. To finish on time, avoid loosing time on some hazardous/random errors, and also learning ConTeXt more "from the inside", we're looking for a person interested to have a commissioned work -for a fair price per day- to help us crossing the last technical problems (some of them still unknown and only potential). It's not easy for us to plan the exact amount of work, but it will certainly be closely linked to : - ConTeXt - Xetex (or another solution to use custom fonts) - Pictures - Final production of CMYK PDF's for the printer We work in Brussels but are able to travel to the Netherlands without problems. A first meeting will probably be helpful to go to more details. We'll try to push the project as far as possible this month and in July to be able to print the book in August.

Is there any "leftoffset" and "rightoffset" possibilities for \framed (in natural tables) ?

possible problem with setuptex
by Hans van der Meer 12 Jun '09

12 Jun '09

When loading minimals with a shell script it appears that setuptex takes arguments from the calling shell script: script called as "script --current" contains: ... source ./setuptex ... This result in the following error message: mktexlsr: Done. The argument "/Users/hans/TeX/context/current/tex/--current" is not a valid TEXROOT path. There is no file "/Users/hans/TeX/context/current/tex/--current/texmf/ tex/plain/base/plain.tex" Setting "/Users/hans/TeX/context/current/tex" as TEXROOT instead. I guess this cannot be the intent of setuptex. It was the intention to just use /Users/hans/TeX/context/current/tex/ as the TEXROOT path. Is there a simple solution? Hans van der Meer

Problem with amsmath, etc.
by Rene Richard van Hassel 11 Jun '09

11 Jun '09

Hello members, there is some problem. After I changed to Ubuntu version 9.04, ConTeXt is not working anymore as I expected. I'm using the following modules: ### Begin: ### % always used in pdflatex \usemodule[latexsym,amsmath,amssymb,amsfonts,graphics,epsfig,makeidx,subfigure] \usemodule[tikz] % module for flowchart \usemodule[chart] % use of bib module \usemodule[bib] \usemodule[bibltx] \setupbibtex[database=OLNbib] %\setuppublications[numbering=yes, sorttype=bbl,criterium=all] \setuppublications[numbering=yes, sorttype=bbl] \usemodule[newmat] \usemodule[amsl] %\usemodule[nath] % not use this module! amsl doesn't work anymore. %\definebodyfont[ams] % Figures and more % USED IN example pgfmanual \usemodule[xxcolor] \usemodule[pifont] \usemodule[latin1][inputenc] \usemodule[version=latest][pgf] ### End. ### But after the new installation ConTeXt cannot find the modules amsmath and latexsym and more of these modules, you can read on the first line. What to do?? (newmat is not an option!!) What I have to change such that ConTeXt find these packages, de style-files of amsmath, etc., greetings, Rene'

minimals and TeXShop
by Hans van der Meer 11 Jun '09

11 Jun '09

The directives in the ContextGarden for working with the minimals in TeXShop are not working for me on MacOSX. I installed the minimals in ~/TeX/context/beta and then set the TeXShop engine script to: export TEXROOT="~/TeX/context/beta/tex" export PATH=$TEXROOT/texmf-osx-ppc/bin:$PATH export TEXMFCACHE="$TEXROOT/texmf-cache" context "$1" This corresponds to the recipe step 3 of "TeXShop installation and configuration". The result in TeXShop's console window is disappointing: MTXrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua' Prefixing to the engine script with the recommended: ~/TeX/context/beta/tex/setuptex does not help. In fact $TEXROOT appears not to have been set, witnessed by the following output: Setting "/Users/hans/TeX/context/beta/tex" as TEXROOT. TEXROOT after ~/TeX/context/beta/tex/setuptex = MTXrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua' What now? Hans van der Meer

resetting localfootnote counter query
by Bowen Alan C. 11 Jun '09

11 Jun '09

I currently have a document in which there are numerous tables each with local footnotes marked by alphabetic characters. When I process the file, I get complaints like: pdfTeX warning (ext4): destination with the same identifier (name{a}) has been already used, duplicate ignored <to be read again> \egroup \thisisdestination ... \dostartthisislocation {#1} \dostopthisislocation \fi ... \dodowritereference ...nceprefix \lastreference }} \referenceinfo > \lastrefer... \rawprocesscommaitem ...commalevel \endcsname {#1} \expandafter \rawprocessco... \rawprocesscommalist ... \rawprocesscommaitem #1,] ,\global \advance \commale... \writereference ...[\!!stringa ]\dowritereference \fi \fi ... l.354 \footnotetext[a] {See \goto{Pingree 1977}[Pingree1977].} Is there a way to reset the localfootnote counter so that ConTeXt is happy and the footnotes marked by arabic numerals are undisturbed. Something like \resetnumber[localfootnotes] perhaps, though this does not work. Alan

minimals missing etex?
by Hans van der Meer 11 Jun '09

11 Jun '09

After loading context stable minimals with the following script: #!/bin/bash curl -o first-setup.sh http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/first-setup.sh mkdir tex ln -s $HOME/Library/texmf tex/texmf-local sh ./first-setup.sh --context=current >first-setup.log source ./tex/setuptex I get this message on ETEX in the call to first-setup.sh. ...hans/TeX/context/stable/tex/texmf-osx-ppc/bin/mtxrun:8707: attempt to concate nate a nil value (/Users/hans/TeX/context/stable/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/ cont-en.tex ( /Users/hans/TeX/context/stable/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/ context.tex SORRY CONTEXT NOW NEEDS ETEX ) ) Is there something wrong here?

\goto and email
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 11 Jun '09

11 Jun '09

Hello, I have success with \goto instead of \useURL. Actually, I like \goto even more, because it is more simple. \goto{http://url.com/index.html}[url(http://url.com/index.html)] My question is: how to mark a email in this way? (So that clicking on it opened mail client) Best, Vyactheslav

Tables query (notes, MKII)
by Bowen Alan C. 11 Jun '09

11 Jun '09

I need a table that has local notes, but have not been able to get them into the proper position (at the left margin of the table) or the the proper length ( extending full length of table if needed). What am I missing in the following reduced example? \starttext \startlocalfootnotes[conversion=character] \placetable[][] {} \placelegend {\starttables[|p|p|p|p|p|p|] \NC numbers \NC (*) \footnote{This is the first footnote.} \NC stuff \footnote{This is the second footnote.} \NC stuff\footnote{This is the third footnote.} \NC more stuff\footnote{This is the fourth footnote} \NC and yet more \NC\SR \HL \stoptables} {\placelocalfootnotes} \stoplocalfootnotes \stoptext Alan

inserting Chinese characters (MKII)
by Bowen Alan C. 11 Jun '09

11 Jun '09

I have absolutely no knowledge of Chinese, but I am publishing a review which inserts two Chinese characters into a document as follows, third century alchemist Ge Hong 葛洪 as another So which of the two Chinese modules on http:// modules.contextgarden.net/ should I install or do I need them both? (I am assuming that installing one of both of these modules will take care of steps 1–4 of the post-ConTeXt 2005.12.19 instructions on http://wiki.contextrarden.net/Chinese .) By the way, the LaTeX file that I am working from has \begin{TChinese}ËëõÊ¥™\end{TChinese} where \newenvironment{TChinese}{% \CJKfamily{bsmi}% %\CJKfamily{bkai}% \CJKtilde \CJKnospace}{} Alan
