Tikz and MKIV
by curiouslearn 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

Hi, I do not have the very latest beta of Context. I am using This is LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.35.0 (post_contextgarden.tex ConTeXt ver: 2009.03.18 21:58 With this version, I found something that does not work in Tikz when compiled using MKIV, but works when compiled using MKII. Is this a bug in MKIV that will be fixed soon, or is this due to some fundamental incompatibility between MKIV and Tikz that will remain until Tikz package is modified by the Tikz development team. \usemodule[tikz] \setupcolors[state=start] \setupcolor[xwi] \starttext \starttikzpicture \node (S) [rectangle,draw,text width=2in,fill=linen] at (0,0) {The "fill=linen" option works with MKII. But does not work with MKIV. If I replace "fill=linen" with a Tikz option,such as "fill=blue!20", everything works fine with MKIV}; \stoptikzpicture \stoptext (the quotes are used just to draw attention. Not entered in the actual code)

Spacing after \cite
by Aditya Mahajan 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

Hi Taco, Normally, while using \cite one does not need to worry about adding an explicit space after the command. So, you can write "\cite[something] says ...." rather than "\cite[something]\ says ...". But something has changed in core ConTeXt which has changed this behaviour. Consider the test file: \usemodule [bib] \setuppublications [alternative=num] \starttext Test~\cite[something] is wrong \stoptext I have two versions of ConTeXt. With ConTeXt 2009.01.18 (which has t-bib version=2008.10.27), I get (notice the space after [] and is) %----------- Test [] is wrong %------------- With ConTeXt 2009.03.09 (which has t-bib version=2008.12.01) I get (notice that there is no space after [] and is) %----------- Test []is wrong %------------- The behaviour is the same whether I use pdftex or luatex. There is no major difference between the two versions of t-bib. The changelog says %D \item Catalan translation of 'References' (10/11/2008) %D \item 'chapter' -> 'chapitre' in bibl-apa-fr (27/11/2008) %D \item Run bibtex via os.execute in mkiv modee (01/12/2008) So I am guessing that the difference is because of something else, but I cannot see any differences. Any suggestions? Aditya

more stretch
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

Thank everybody for indispensible help, esp. Wolfgang. I owe yuo a beer :) My project should be completed today, so it is probably one of the last questions. I have set up \setupalign[stretch], after which my document looks far more justified (no ragged right text edge). However, in some difficult situations I still get the problem, as shown on attached shot. Moreover, TeX compains about a lot of overfull hboxes. How to instruct TeX to relax and allow more spacing between words (or more stretching?) Best, Vyatcheslav

updating ConTeXt (MacTeX)
by Robert Blackstone 31 Mar '09

Thank you, Mojca and Aditya, for your comments and advice. It will take me, being no virtuoso with Terminal, a while to figure out what exactly I have to do. It is in my script that I will again run into problems and then I will beg you to help me out again. Thank you, Hraban, for suggesting an easy way out: Use ConTeXt-Minimals, but also there I manage to run into problems, mainly with files and scripts that I can see in the finder but that are not found in Terminal, not even from their parent directory.

request for testing linux binaries
by Mojca Miklavec 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

Hello, I would like to ask someone on any (ancient or not) linux distribution to test if the pdftex binary for linux works OK, just to let me know if I may continue using that machine to compile binaries for minimals. (I did not update luatex, metapost or xetex, so only pdftex binary should be affected.) OS X 10.4 issues will hopefully be resolved soon. (I need a few iterations to figure out which compiler switches are needed to make the binaries work on Tiger. I'll worry about Snow Leopard when first user starts complaining.) Mojca

Making sure figures are placed within articles
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 30 Mar '09

30 Mar '09

Hello, I usually place figures in the end of the subsection, using the code: \placefigure [middle]{none}{\externalfigure[filyashkin-1.png][width=0.87\textwidth]} Quite often the figure does not fit the page, and is moved to the next one. Ocassionally, another subsection may start at the beginning of next page, so that my figure is placed inside wrong article. Can I setup \placefigure to move non-fitting figures not only forth, but also back within the subsection? In another words, to can I set up the criterium: place the figure no matter where, but inside the current subsection? Otherwise, it needs many manual corrections and re-compilations to get all figures within corresponding articles. I'd doing my first serious work with ConTeXt, so help me please. Best, Vyatcheslav

updating ConTeXt (MacTeX)
by Robert Blackstone 30 Mar '09

30 Mar '09

In order to be able to use MkIV and Luatex I started, as a MacTeX-user, by updating ConTeXt (*MacTeX*<http://wiki.contextgarden.net/index.php?title=MacTeX&action=edit&redlink=1>: You need to update<http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Running_Mark_IV#Updating_ConTeXt>ConTeXt first.), following instructions on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Running_Mark_IV#Updating_ConTeXt The command as given (copied and pasted in terminal) does not work: everything fails: Operation not permitted. Redoing it as Sudo does the job. But then: “luatools --generate” gives: -bash: /usr/texbin/luatools: Permission denied, “sudo luatools --generate” gives “luatools: command not found”. So I cd-ed to /usr/texbin, gave the command “sudo chmod 755 luatools” and then “luatools --generate” and got: LuaTools | error unable to identify cnf file LuaTools | no cnf files found (TEXMFCNF may not be set/known) LuaTools | LuaTools | runtime: 0.002 seconds But worst of all is that after all this I could not use MkII any more: Older files that before updating had been nicely typeset couldn’t be processed anymore: permission denied. I tried “sudo chmod 755” on texexec and on texmfstart but that did not help. So in the end I reinstalled MacTeX 2008 and I was back at where I started. The least one can say is that the updating instructions on contextgarden do not work in all circumstances. In all fairness, everybody is warned: “Note that this is a quick-and-dirty way to upgrade TL. Use at your own risk. One should be able to update in a more elegant way.” But now what? Lots of MacTeX-users must have successfully updated ConTeXt. Can anybody disclose a more elegant way that worked for them? Especially one that does not render the existing ConTeXt useless by meddling with permissions. Just for the sake of completeness, I use an Intel iMac under OSX 10.5.6. Thanks in advance, Robert Blackstone

Dear gang, Sometimes I use the following for simple substitutions: \defineactivecharacter ' {\otfchar{quoteright}} But is there a more general mechanism to do things \definesubstitution{<string1>}{<string2>} eg \definesubstitution{--}{–} Of course ConTeXt already provides this particular substitution but I'm interested in such a mechanism for more general purposes.

Your attached files were a bit too large for the mailing list, so I blocked your message. Something like this will do the trick. \define[1]\myNumber{\hbox to 20pt{\hfill \high{#1}}} \setuppublications[numbercommand=\myNumber] Best wishes, Taco

synonym sorting used to work, but now doesn't
by Michael Bynum 25 Mar '09

25 Mar '09

I started using the newest version of texlive and now, the behavior for my synonym lists has changed. With the command \synonym[.1.]{.2.}{.3.}, I thought that the sorting used to be based on [.1.] but now it seems that the sorting is based on {.2.}. This is undesireable, because I cannot seperate my alphabetic synonyms from my greek synonyms. Here is a sample of what is happening. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \starttext \definesynonyms[nomenclature][nomenclatures][\infull] \setupsynonyms[nomenclature][criterium=all,width=0.85in] \placelistofnomenclatures \nomenclature[a]{ztest}{This should be first} \nomenclature[b]{ytest}{This should be second} \nomenclature[c]{xtest}{This should be third} \stoptext Mike

Symbol interferes with floating picture
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 25 Mar '09

25 Mar '09

Hello, I defined a command producing itemization symbol: \def\dash{\symbol[dash]\hskip0.25em} When I insert floating picture, lines starting with dash symbols 'ignore' the floating mode and are placed over the picture. I use latest beta, mkiv. \placefigure [left]{none}{\externalfigure[yanov-2][width=0.5\textwidth]} Функції: \dash автоматична обробка і настроювання "картинки"; \dash електронний візир для вимірювання координат метеооб’єктів і орієнтирів; \dash виявлення турбулентних зон; \dash компенсація ослаблення радіохвиль; \dash відображення і аналіз вертикального профілю метеооб’єктів; \dash виявлення зустрічних літаків; \dash навігаційний огляд земної поверхні; \dash вертикальне сканування. Best, Vyatcheslav

texlua fails on OSX-PPC
by Henning Hraban Ramm 25 Mar '09

25 Mar '09

Hi ho, my formats were outdated, so I tried to update my "minimals" installation - got only an error. So I deleted the whole texmf tree and installed from scratch: neither --context=beta nor --context=current works (I deleted the --context=beta switch from first-setup.sh); looks like an error in the texlua binary for OSX-PPC: /usr/local/ConTeXt user$ ./first-setup.sh receiving file list ... done bin/ bin/mtx-update.lua bin/mtxrun bin/texlua sent 109 bytes received 7636548 bytes 311700.29 bytes/sec total size is 7635348 speedup is 1.00 dyld: Symbol not found: _close$UNIX2003 Referenced from: /usr/local/ConTeXt/bin/texlua Expected in: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib ./first-setup.sh: line 67: 835 Trace/BPT trap mtxrun --verbose --script ./bin/mtx-update.lua --update --make --force --engine=all --tree=$PWD/tex $@ What can I do? Did I overlook some upgrade instructions? Greetlilngs, Hraban
