Ambitious project (Font Folio)
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 09 Mar '09

09 Mar '09

Hello everybody, I have an ambitious project in mind. I'm in position to make typescripts for the whole Adobe Font Folio 11. By now, I'm only concerned with Western/Cyrrilic Fonts (490+ fonts), and MKIV engine. The benefit is that users will be able to use most popular fonts out-of-the-box, thus giving the ConTeXt strong advantage in professional typesetting world. I think my effort will require some support from NTG ;o), but before applying I'd like to hear your response. Best regards, Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky

Hi, I should typeset an article... Now I tried out different approaches but I do not get a complete list of references. I am puzzled why I do get only Taco's reference in the list and why there is no journal mentioned in Taco's reference.

Hi, I uploaded a new beta (mkiv): -- some optimizations to color literals; i might have introduced problems there so keep an eye on color -- beter definition for virtual lm math (design sizes etc) and a fix for undefined sizes -- taco and i also tracked down some accuracy problems with cirtual glyphs in luatex itself; it's not that critical unless you have eyes that can zoom in to .05pt so ther eis no real need to upgrade luatex now -- there are a few more optimizations but don't expect too much speed improvements in the future next comes integration of the new structure stuff (quite some impact) and further split of mkii/mkiv code 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

Two questions - Cross Referencing (Automated label generation + Random items)
by Curious Learn 07 Mar '09

07 Mar '09

As I mentioned earlier, I am trying to use Context to make a multiple choice test. I have two questions. (1) Suppose I want to get a list of answers to the the multiple choice questions. One way I can think of doing this is by assigning a label to the CORRECT answer as done in the following code and then referring to that label. Is there a way these labels can be generated automatically, instead of hardcoding them as I have done below? defineenumeration[problem][text= ,location=inleft] \setupenumerations[problem][stopper=)] \defineitemgroup[choices][levels=1] \setupitemgroup[choices][1][a,packed] \nextrandom \starttext \problem This is the first question. \startchoices \startitem This is incorrect answer 1. \stopitem \startitem This is a wrong answer too. \stopitem \startitem[1] This is the CORRECT answer. \stopitem \startitem Yet another wrong answer. \stopitem \stopchoices \problem This is the second question. \startchoices \startitem[2] This is the CORRECT answer. \stopitem \startitem This is a wrong answer too. \stopitem \startitem This is not a correct choice. \stopitem \startitem Yet another wrong answer. \stopitem \stopchoices Answers to the questions \in[1] \in[2] \stoptext (2) When I add the option "random" to the itemgroup (\setupitemgroup[choices][1][a,packed,random]) then as expected the choices are listed in a random order. However, the label does not change with the choice listing. I want the reference to be attached to the CORRECT answer, which changes its position with random option. Is there a way to have the reference reflect the letter corresponding to the correct answer. Thanks in advance for your help. I really appreciate it.

How to use my own BibTeX style (bst)?

Dear all, I have both English and Chinese citations in my paper. Because Chinese citation has some special requirements, such as using "等" instead of "et al". I made a bst file to solve the localization problem. But after reading the manual of t-bib and searched in garden and mailing list, I find it might be tricky to make t-bib use my own bst file. Could you tell my how to do it? Thanks a lot! Best wishes, Wei-Wei Guo

Howto make a handy script to handle dia exported *.mp files
by Jan-Erik Hägglöf 06 Mar '09

06 Mar '09

HI ALL! According to an earlier post that was very much helpful, I now wish to know how to write a shell script or similar to automate this exporting process. http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20081124.122842.38fee2f4.en.html I discover it is a lot of typing work to get these work as expected in ConTeXt and specially mkIV. Here is what i wish: Just type in the ubuntu terminal ./mp2context figure.mp figure.tex Inside the file mp2context it replaces all the latex related like verbatimtex bla bla etex with \startuseMPgraphic{figure} and replaces textareas from btex { latex font definitions ..text..} etex to \sometxt{..text..} I saw Aditya mentioned in the earlier post about some regexp but I don't know what do do with it. Finally you just for example in main document do \startproduct \component figure \placefigure[here][fig:myfig]{Here is my picture done in dia}{\scale[width=\textwidth]{\useMPgraphic{figure}}} \stoppproduct Thanks in Advance!

overprint and \currentcolorname in mkiv

Eliminate space between float and caption
by Michael Bynum 05 Mar '09

05 Mar '09

I am trying to find a way to reduce/eliminate the space between a figure and a caption. The default amount looks rather large to me: larger than the spacing between the caption and the body text. I tried to use the inbetween option in \setupcation, but I can only seem to increase the space between the figure and caption and not reduce it. I saw a reference to details.pdf in the mailing list about more advanced examples of captions, but when I went to www.pragma-ade.com/temp the page no longer exists and I couldn't find details.pdf.

setupsynonym: 2 questions on width
by Michael Bynum 05 Mar '09

05 Mar '09

1.) I have a list of synonyms that I need to print in an aligned list. Is there a way to align the synonym definitions with the longest synonym entry (width=? option maybe)? Here is a small example where the entries do not align. \definesynonyms[nomenclature][nomenclatures][\infull] \setupsynonyms[nomenclature][criterium=all,width=broad] \nomenclature[a]{a}{This is the letter a} \nomenclature[b]{abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz}{This is the alphabet} \nomenclature[c]{c}{This is the letter c} \starttext \placelistofnomenclatures \stoptext 2.) Also, if the width in setupsynonyms is set to a value smaller than the length of the longest entry, the entry tries to wrap around, but it writes over top of the next entry. Obviously this is not desirable. Is there a way to have the next entry below the "wrapped" long entry instead of on the same line? An example of this issue. \definesynonyms[nomenclature][nomenclatures][\infull] \setupsynonyms[nomenclature][criterium=all] \nomenclature[a]{a}{This is the letter a} \nomenclature[b]{abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz}{This is the alphabet} \nomenclature[c]{c}{This is the letter c} \starttext \placelistofnomenclatures \stoptext Thanks, Mike

The format cont-en runs well with: texmfstart texexec --autopdf --luatex ligtest.tex Second: The command || like in knuth.tex seems not to work properly in mkiv.

extra offsets
by Hans Hagen 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

Hi, concerning the offsets in framed .. - we cannot use leftoffset etc as name because these are already used in mechanisms that build on top of framed and it would add quite some extra code (and probably bugs) to those mechanisms - adding additional rulethickness variants is non trivial since the rulethickness is also used elsewhere (rounded corners etc) and the code would become rather messy; also, we can use mp for special frames (after all, extra thickness makes no sense without extra colors) so, as an experiment i added support for extra offsets but these work *on top* of the existing offset; they have names like loffset, roffset, toffset and boffset; the speed penalty is neglectable (only mkiv because it has a more clever inheritance model for derived framed mechanisms) Hans ps. for quite a long time there is a command \offset which takes leftoffset cum suis plus some more ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

PhD Thesis in ConTeXt
by Piotr 03 Mar '09

03 Mar '09

Hello, I have spent some time with google in order to find an answer to the following questions. Unfortunatly, I was not satisfied with the answers, which I now hope to find here. It is my plan not to use the MS Office suite for the production of my PhD thesis (in chemistry). I have used Miktex some years ago during my studies for some project reports, and I remember beeing quite satisfied with the results. My Master thesis, on the other hand, I wrote in word.. and although I remember not having too many difficulties, there were some nasty obstacles to be overcome. Obstacles which I simply do not want to risk having repeated a second time on a much bigger scale. I this mailing list I read several reports of people who either had written their thesis in Latex or ConTeXt. There was a mention of Latex beeing designed for mathematic purposes, while ConTeXt was said to be better suited for the intergration of graphics or larger/more complex layout changes. 1) Finding the right context For now I had quite some difficulties to find that proper Latex distribution - a problem that actually led me to the existence of ConTeXt. I am wondering which latex distribution I should choose in order to work with ConTeXt? I am running Windows Vista (64-bit). Or is there a ConTeXt stand alone package that will absolutely satisfy my me in my needs? In principle, all I need is 2) The right editor What is the preferred editor for ConTeXt? for such a project? Is there any loss in functionality when using Texniccenter with ConTeXt than with MikTex instead? 3) I have seen some thesis templates/examples in this mailinglist. Can anyone point me to additional sources regarding the creation of a PhD Thesis with ConTeXt? What is the advantage over Latex, what are the disadvantages? Is there a win-win distribution somewhere on the table? 4) Has anyone used a typesetting suite like ContTeXt with CVS? 5) Is the ConTeXt reference system compatible with Endnote? Is there any point to have latex installed, when context can do the trick? Or lets ask the devils advocate the other way around: What is the point of installing context, when latex could do the trick? Apart that I have to re-learn latex anyway.. what is better with Context?

experimental repository in mtx-update
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 03 Mar '09

03 Mar '09

In mtx-update, there is --context=beta switch. What about --repository=experimental? And how these two interfere with each other? This is crucial for me to know to update the installer. Best, Vyatcheslav

I am trying to define an itemgroup to list the answers for multiple choice questions. When I try to change the stopper using the option stopper=), the list changes from an alphabetical one to a bulleted list. Please see the difference between "choices" and "options" below. \defineitemgroup[choices][levels=1] \setupitemgroup[choices][1][a,packed] \defineitemgroup[options][levels=1] \setupitemgroup[options][1][a,packed,stopper=)] \starttext \startchoices \startitem This is choice 1. \stopitem \startitem This is choice 2. \stopitem \stopchoices \startoptions \startitem This is option 1. \stopitem \startitem This is option 2. \stopitem \stopoptions \stoptext Q.

beta again
by Hans Hagen 03 Mar '09

03 Mar '09

Hi, - the problem with creating formats is related to changes in texexec (and other rb modules) that rely on ruby 1.8 and had to be adapted to 1.9; because incompatibilities in library calls are nicely catched (begin .. rescue ... end) we never see problems unless we explicitly issue an error message or warning which in most cases is more bound to the expected behaviour than to the method missing ... as such, i would not be surprised if more problems show up, but on the other hand, in the end only texexec remains as ruby script - the problem with hz/protruding was due to a typo in one of the lua scripts but even then, the posted example would now show the effects as one has to explicitly turn it on: \setupalign[hz,hanging] i'll upload a new beta 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

03 Mar '09

Hi, As prelude to LuaTeX 0.40 there is now a beta 0.35. I uploaded a context beta that matches this version. The most important move is that we now have a new math subsystem. (Specially for Mojca: iwona seems to work ok). Apart from bringin unicode math this also gives a better performance. (Some info about what is involved can be found in mk.pdf on the website). There might be ommisions so when you run into one, just let us know.

basic luatex/minimals problem

I have been revising my notes for newbie Mac installation of the ConTeXt Minimals and was about to put them online when I discovered that, when I try to process a file using MKIV, it does not find my personal texmf folder (~Library/texmf).

lilypond results do not show.
by Wei-Wei Guo 28 Feb '09

28 Feb '09

Hi everyone, I tried the tex file attached in this email, but the lily figure not shown. The result pdf file and log file are also attached. I also find that there are two files, "mytry-lilypond-l.tmp" and "mytry-lilypond-2.tmp", generated. Those two generated files contain codes for lilypond. I run command LILYPOND on them and get "mytry-lilypond-1.pdf", but not "mytry-lilypond-2.pdf". I run MTXRUN on "mytry.tex" again and can only get an error because of existence of "mytry-lilypond-1.pdf". I searched in ntg-context mail list and found Olivier Guéry had the same problem before (http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2008/033582.html) It seems the problem solved in the new lilypond module. But the new module doesn't work here. Any help is appreciated!

I haven't been able to find any documentation about producing a nomenclature section in a document using context. In the absence of a command/module providing the functionality of something like the nomencl package in latex, I was wondering if anyone else had an elegant work around for this issue. I guess I could just use a list to make a nomenclature section, but that would lose a lot of the functionality that makes something like nomencl useful. Mike

centered text in frame does not fit

Hi all, After a couple of years of using an older context version, it was time to update the whole setup. So I installed the context standalone version. I was pretty impressed about the ease of installation compared to what I remember from previous experiences. However, using a piece of tex that never gave me problems before, I now see the following : as you will see in the example, I put a centered text within a frame, and for some reason the line is splitted (see center and right frame), while the same text in the same frames, using left or right alignment does not split the lines, so the text itself is not too long to fit...... This did not happen on my previous context installation..... what could be the cause ? Thanks... \starttext \framed[width=\makeupwidth, height=3cm, align=right,strut=no, offset=none,frame=on]{ \framed[width=0.230\makeupwidth,height=3cm, align=center, frame=off, rightframe=on, offset=none] {Mydepname \crlf anotherline} \framed[width=0.510\makeupwidth, height=3cm, frame=off, offset=none] {\crlf \crlf {\bf Descripci\'on Nr: 70/123--634} \crlf {\it Information Document nr. 70/123--634} \crlf Final Version} \framed[width=0.230\makeupwidth, height=3cm, align=center, frame=off, leftframe=on, offset=none] {\crlf \tfx Fecha de emisi\'on: \crlf Date of issue: \crlf \currentdate[dd,--,mm,--,j] \crlf \crlf pagina/page {\pagenumber} de/of {\lastpage}} } \crlf \crlf \crlf \crlf \crlf \framed[width=\makeupwidth, height=3cm, align=right,strut=no, offset=none,frame=on]{ \framed[width=0.230\makeupwidth,height=3cm, align=center, frame=off, rightframe=on, offset=none] {Mydepname \crlf anotherline} \framed[width=0.510\makeupwidth, height=3cm, align=left, frame=off, offset=none] {\crlf \crlf {\bf Descripci\'on Nr: 70/123--634} \crlf {\it Information Document nr. 70/123--634} \crlf Final Version} \framed[width=0.230\makeupwidth, height=3cm, align=right, frame=off, leftframe=on, offset=none] {\crlf \tfx Fecha de emisi\'on: \crlf Date of issue: \crlf \currentdate[dd,--,mm,--,j] \crlf \crlf pagina/page {\pagenumber} de/of {\lastpage}} } \stoptext
