Bib module and dutch commands
by Tristan Gerstung 04 Sep '07

04 Sep '07

Hello! I have to say that I am new to ConteXt and never worked with LateX. I tried to use the bib-module for my .bib-files (which I created with BibDesk) It works fine when I am using english commands like \starttext, but if I am using dutch commands like \starttekst it just says `undefined control sequence´. Is there a possibilty to change that or do I have to stick with the english commands when using the Bib module? Thank you in advance. Tristan

how to set a referenced note to normal ?
by Steffen Wolfrum 03 Sep '07

03 Sep '07

Hi, please have a look at this minimal example: \starttext This is a test text\footnote[129]{for testing} with two footnotes \footnote[130]{the same purpose as fn. \note[129]}. \stoptext It would look better if "fn. 1" would be set the same type (not "1" being smaller and set high). Is there a pre-set command like \tx or such? Steffen

luatex and typescripts/fonts
by Thomas A. Schmitz 03 Sep '07

03 Sep '07

Hi guys, I missed some of the excitement of the last two weeks because I was away. I tested the latest versions of ConTeXt and luatex and have some problems: 1. Is there a simple switch to between luatex and pdftex? If I want to write typescripts with the new name: syntax, I'd like to have the old typsecripts as well to remain compatible. So: is there something like a simple switch \ifluatex? 2. I tested with a number of OpenType fonts from my Adobe Type Classics CD: ConTeXt Mkiv can address these fonts (which is wonderful), but it does not read the kerning information. I don't know whether this is because Adobe's kerning tables are so big (kerning appears to work with the TeXGyre fonts and Latin Modern) or because the Adobe fonts have these tables included in a somewhat different way. Will be back with lots of more question re. Greek soon! All best Thomas

odd background color behavior
by Alan Bowen 02 Sep '07

02 Sep '07

I am using ConTeXt ver: 2007.08.29 19:19 MKII fmt and the pdftex engine \definetextbackground[A][backgroundcolor=red] \setuptextbackground [backgroundoffset=0pt, offset=0pt, frame=off, location=text, background=color, backgroundcorner=round] gives a yellow background and \definetextbackground[A][backgroundcolor=yellow] gives a gray background. Any suggestions about to fix this? Alan

Using context with cweave
by John Luciani 02 Sep '07

02 Sep '07

I created the file hello.w containing the following lines --- @** Hello. @c @<header files@>@; int main(void) { printf("Hello World.\n"); return(0); } @ Header files. @<header files@>+= #include <stdio.h> I run the commands cweave hello.w texexec --pdf --modules m-cweb hello.tex The text that is output in hello.pdf are cweb macros --- \input cwebmac \N{0}{1}Hello. \Y\B\X2:header files\X\7 . . . If I run pdftex hello.tex a correct pdf file is output. Are there other modules that I need to load to use ConTeXt with a cweave file? Is there a documentation file that I missed? I am using he ConTeXt that came with texlive-2007. If there is a cweave file that produces a nice layout like cweb-scr.pdf available for download please let me know. Thanks.

Background colour of included PDF images
by Kumar Appaiah 01 Sep '07

01 Sep '07

Dear ConTeXt users, I am making a presentation using ConTeXt, and wish to use some plain images. I am running into some trouble, especially with the background colour of the image, which I wish to force. Here is some information: 1. I make the image using Dia, and export it. 2. I include the EPS directly, and Acrobat doesn't like it. 3. I epstopdf the images, they come otu well, except that they are transparent and the images with black text and lines looks bad on my dark background presentation. I partially worked around the problem by using background=screen in my \useexternalfigure calls. However, I have a combination image, where the second image comes without the white filled background. Could you please tell me a way to force the background colour of my images to white? I really don't want to convert it to PNG or something, since PNG doesn't look nice after scaling, does it? :-) Thanks in advance.

value-copy - e.g. in \textreference
by Peter Schorsch 31 Aug '07

31 Aug '07

Hi, during my first tries of context-programming I bounced a couple of times against a problem I am calling myself my value-copy-border. E.g. number is a register/variable that helps numbering some paragraphs. Some of these paragraphs also should be cross-linked. But the pointer gets always the value, number has at the point of the pointer - and not at the point of the marked paragraph. How can I get just the value of a variable? - like currentsection in the example: \definenumber[number] \setuphead[chapter,section,subsection,subsubsection [after={\resetnumber[number]}] \def\MyMark[#1] {\textreference[#1]{Para. \currentheadnumber / \getnumber[number]}} \definestartstop[MyPara] [before= {\blank[medium]\incrementnumber[number]% \inothermargin{\getnumber[number]~}}, after={\blank[medium]}] \starttext \section \startMyPara blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla \stopMyPara \subsection \startMyPara blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla \stopMyPara \startMyPara\MyMark[testmark] blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla blabla \stopMyPara \section The Link should be [Abs. 1.1/2] but is \in[testmark] %unluckily it is [Abs. 1.1/0] \stoptext

Context replacement for bibitem
by Peter Schorsch 31 Aug '07

31 Aug '07

Hi, I have done a little with Context but I am still a beginner. As I can read in the archive of this list, there is no possibility to divide the bibliography into sections by the generated bibliography. If this assumption is true, I would like to enter the bibitems into the normal .tex-file. I was also reading the doc of the context-bib-module but I couldn't find any context-replacement for \bibitem. Headings inside the bibliography are very important for my text and the advantages of bibitem would simplify my data-entering, so I would be happy for any hint/help how to realize this in Context. I don't want to go back to Latex but to declare my problem better: In Latex a simplified example looks like: \begin{document} \section{hamha} asdfklsj fk\cite{key-1} \section{dumdidim} asdfsaff alfs hfdsj\cite{key-2} \begin{thebibliography}{1} \subsection*{hamha} \bibitem{key-1}erstes \subsection*{dumdidim} \bibitem{key-2}zweites \end{thebibliography} \end{document}

Problem with \starttable \stoptable and some math

Hi, After recompiling a 1-year old document I stumbled on the following (which used to work) Some of math symbols in a table environment are ''ignored'' i.e are not shown.

color expansion (not colo-new related)

Gotcha!
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 28 Aug '07

28 Aug '07

Hello, I found it! My global settings for mswincotext work now, and here is the reason they failed before. I copied the pathes to temp dirs from the .bat file output, where they were DOS-truncated, e.g. c:/DOCUME~... Those tildes were expanded by luatex as \CCC, so that lua failed to reach temp dirs. I just wonder how intolerant it was not to warn user about this occasion. Now I'm in progress of creating an installer for mswincontext. At the moment it is a stand-alone .exe file that sets up global envinronment variables. In principle, I can even create full installer, which would be very appealing to Windows users. Best, Vyatcheslav

OK, so here is what you need to do to install the non-existing "minimals": Step 1: download from PRAGMA: wget -c http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/install/justtex.zip wget -c http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/install/linuxtex.zip unzip justtex.zip unzip linuxtex.zip Step 2: download binaries from TeXLive 2007 and prepare a freebsd binary folder cd tex mkdir texmf-freebsd cd texmf-freebsd svn co svn://tug.org/texlive/trunk/Master/bin/i386-freebsd mv i386-freebsd bin # perhaps also chmod 755 bin/* mv ../texmf-linux/web2c . cd .. rm -r texmf-linux Step 3: patch setuptex Find the following ines in setuptex: export TEXARCH=`uname -m` export TEXUNIX=`uname -s` if [ "$TEXARCH" = "x86_64" ] ; then export TEXMFOS=$TEXROOT/texmf-linux-64 ; fi if [ "$TEXUNIX" = "Darwin" ] ; then export TEXMFOS=$TEXROOT/texmf-macosx ; fi and add a hardcoded line below them export TEXMFOS=$TEXROOT/texmf-freebsd Step 4: First setup Run . setuptex mktexlsr texexec --make --all texexec --make --all --xtx # don't worry about those below yet if they don't work luatools --generate texexec --make --all --lua Step 5: compile your document cd your-folder texexec your-file Step 6: next time cd folder-with-setuptex . setuptex (I've put that command to .bashrc) If you want TeXLive 2007: svn co svn://tug.org/texlive/trunk/Master ./install-live.sh You can install it in such a way that it doesn't interfere with your old system.

Are the source files that were used to create cweb-scr.pdf on the http://www.pragma-ade.com site available for download? I am trying to get ConTeXt working on a cweaved TeX file and am getting an Undefined control sequence error.

Streams ignore textwidth
by Aditya Mahajan 27 Aug '07

27 Aug '07

Hi, In streams width=whatever only sets the width of the bounding box, the text still goes until \textwidth. Is this a bug or a feature? A work around is to use setups:stream:settings, but it is a bit clumsy. See the differece between the two streams below. \usemodule[streams] \definestreamlayer[flash][width=3in] \definestreamlayer[model][width=3in] \startsetups streamlayer:flash:settings \hsize=3in \stopsetups \starttext \startstreamlayer[flash] \input tufte \stopstreamlayer \startstreamlayer[model] \input tufte \stopstreamlayer \framed[sturt=no]{\placestreamlayer[flash]} \framed[sturt=no]{\placestreamlayer[model]} \stoptext Aditya

Lilypond MKIV, pstopdf, sysctl errors?
by David Wooten 27 Aug '07

27 Aug '07

Greetings all, In trying to run Mojca's latest Lilypond extension with MKIV (on an Intel Mac), I've been receiving the errors after pstopdf is run, which I've never seen before: *** sysctlbyname_with_pid: sysctl failed:Operation not permitted is_pid_native: sysctlbyname_with_pid failed:Operation not permitted *** This is from near the bottom of the log file (included below). These errors do not always appear, but once they start, they don't go away. Furthermore, I receive the message: 2007-08-26 16:36:16.584 open[2988] No such file: /Users/wooten/ Desktop/Test/LilyLua-lilypond-1.pdf When it does actually exist, and I have to run texmfstart again to get a changed PDF.

This works perfect! It works as expected for fonts with no such glyphs (and could/should be added to default font features in my opinion). When tested with fonts including original glyphs (I was testing with IJ), the original glyph was used, so that was perfectly OK. > > Visually there is probably no difference in plain text, except in > > exactly the cases for which you're sending the tests (that's casing > > and spacing).

(\mainlanguage[nl], not when writing in English) One might like to treat every ij as a single letter and then convert both I and J to uppercase when asked for that. I read that Dutch keyboard includes the ij digraph (ĳ), but the Croatian/Serbian keyboards don't include those digraphs and none of the cp1250 and iso-8859-2 encodings have it, so everyone writes with "plain latin letters" - I doubt that anyone uses digraphs at all. (It would be almost as obscure and inconvenient to write them as if someone tried to write with "fi" unicode ligatures.) Yet the third group of people are the Czech/Slovaks with their digraph "ch". (You probably remember that one since you had to implement sorting rules for them for every variant and version of the sorting mechanism you have ever written.) Unicode doesn't even have place for it (http://unicode.org/faq/ligature_digraph.html) In Croatian, nj is always considered to be a single letter. (Even in foreign words, you would see "Isak Njutn" [Nj-u-t-n] or "Ajnštajn", so basically no worries about exceptions. Even if there would be some, one could always say {\language[en] a foreign word with nj}) > > Another few observations: > > - \word doesn't work in XeTeX > > no, neither in pdftex i think; new Currently it doesn't even work in luatex any more :-( > > - What exactly is \Words supposed to do (with non-first letters in a > word)? > > make first chars uppercase but only when the next is a char; (i changed > it a bit, defs were not seen (overloaded later by macros) > > > An extra challenge would be to get this work (but unless some Croats > > ask you for that or unless you have too much time left, don't bother > > about that - it needs slightly more than only lccode and uccode of a > > letter since there are three forms: one for lowercase [ljubljana -> > > lj], one for all-uppercase words [LJUBLJANA -> LJ] and one for the > > first letter of a word starting with an uppercase [Ljubljana -> Lj]): > > > > In Unicode: > > > > \word{?ub?ana} -> ?ub?ana > > \Word{?ub?ana} -> ?ub?ana > > \WORD{?ub?ana} -> ?UB?ANA > > > > \word{?ub?ana} -> ?ub?ana > > \Word{?ub?ana} -> ?ub?ana > > \WORD{?ub?ana} -> ?UB?ANA > > > > \word{?UB?ANA} -> ?ub?ana > > \Word{?UB?ANA} -> ?ub?ana > > \WORD{?UB?ANA} -> ?UB?ANA > > as long as we have utf it's already taken care of It's not. In contrary (written in latin without ligatures): \WORD{Lj} -> LJ (let's say it's OK) \WORD{LJ} -> Lj (wrong) \word lost it's functionality, so I cannot check. The main problem is that: - ligature lj is always lowercase - ligature Lj is uppercase, but only at the beginning of a word where other letters are lowercase (Ljubljana) - ligature LJ is uppercase, but only at the beginning of a word where other letters are uppercase (LJUBJANA) This works as long as L and J are two separate letters, but fails in the example where we have ligatures/digraps (even the basic functionality is currently broken). See http://unicode.org/charts/case/index.html (search for 01C7 on that page - while most letter only have lowercase and uppercase, those few also have some kind of "middle" case.) But again: I have no idea how many people use \Word and \WORD to capitalize words (I used it in some cases where I modified the macro to get really fancy beginning of words). Most would probably solve the problem "manually" anyway. (So don't bother about implementing until someone really requests it.) > > In Latin transcript (in case you have problems seing some Unicode > letters): > > > > \word{ljubljana} -> ljubljana > > \Word{ljubljana} -> Ljubljana > > \WORD{ljubljana} -> LJUBLJANA > > > > \word{Ljubljana} -> ljubljana > > \Word{Ljubljana} -> Ljubljana > > \WORD{Ljubljana} -> LJUBLJANA > > > > \word{LJUBLJANA} -> ljubljana > > \Word{LJUBLJANA} -> Ljubljana > > \WORD{LJUBLJANA} -> LJUBLJANA > >> {\setcharacterkerning[extrakerning]\input zapf\endgraf } > > hm, i'm not going to backport everything; keep in mind that i these > features are not font related; actually future mkiv versions will also > do dynamic feature change so ... (This has recently been added to XeTeX as well. So it doesn't necessary mean "backport the lua functionality", but more "map this keyword to that XeTeX feature". But I would need to check. Don't worry about it. If anyone asks, then maybe ...) Thanks a lot, Mojca

Re: [NTG-context] Using mswincontext from the command line

Hello, I found that setuptex.bat (like any bat file) sets env. vars only locally in WinXp , that is, for current process. Other windows don't see them. TeXLive took another approach, of setting HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment keys, which act globally, and that's why it always worked well. By carefully studying the setuptex.bat, I came to the following registry entries [screeshot attached] But, in spite of endlesless remaking of format files, I always get the error whenever I compile anything: TeXExec | processing document 'FMHelp.tex' TeXExec | no ctx file found TeXExec | tex processing method: context TeXExec | TeX run 1 TeXExec | writing option file FMHelp.top TeXExec | using randomseed 1139 TeXExec | tex engine: luatex TeXExec | tex format: cont-en LuaTools | using format name /cont-en.fmt LuaTools | no luc/lua with name /cont-en LuaTools | LuaTools | runtime: 0.031 secondsTeXUtil | parsing file FMHelp.tui TeXUtil | shortcuts : 0 TeXUtil | expansions: 0 TeXUtil | reductions: 0 TeXUtil | divisions : 0 TeXUtil | loaded files: 1 TeXUtil | temporary files: 0 TeXUtil | commands: 18 TeXUtil | programs: 0 TeXUtil | tuo file saved TeXExec | runtime: 0.218 I'm convincied that I captured all env vars, and that's was right direction, because I have some progress up to the final point where it all fails! Why? Best, Vyatcheslav

Using mswincontext from the command line
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 26 Aug '07

26 Aug '07

Hello, I'm back with my old problem of using stand-alone windows context within command line. I was told that it is possible, but I still cannot figure out how. I have mswincontext extracted into drive I: " Directory of I:\context 26.08.2007 18:53 <DIR> . 26.08.2007 18:53 <DIR> .. 08.08.2007 15:03 206 cscite 08.08.2007 15:03 2 014 cscite.bat 08.08.2007 15:03 24 702 cscite.ico 08.08.2007 17:31 <DIR> demo 08.08.2007 17:32 <DIR> docroot 08.08.2007 17:31 <DIR> goodies 08.08.2007 17:31 <DIR> gs 08.08.2007 17:31 <DIR> perl 08.08.2007 17:31 <DIR> ruby 08.08.2007 17:32 <DIR> scite 12.08.2007 04:04 <DIR> tex 08.08.2007 17:31 <DIR> xmllib " When I run cscite.bat it sets some env. vars, and everything within the sci-te editor works, but nothing is accessible from external command line. For example, " C:\>texexec 'texexec' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. " How to get it work, scince I want to experiment with some nice text editor. (It is Code Browser, unique and free, and the author implemented ConText support for my request, now I'm making the lang file). Best regards, Vaytcheslav Yatskovsky

Math align question
by WN 26 Aug '07

26 Aug '07

Hi, Is there a way to increase the distance between the columns in startalign/stopalign ? I read the Myway on math align and there are examples where one can set the distance but only for pairs of equations. In the following code I have 3 columns but they are too close together and I want to spread them out. I tried to use the distance parameter but this setting is ignored. I also experimented with the startmatrix/stopmatrix but I need the sub formula numbering. Any help appreciated Wim \def\ms{\,} \starttext \placesubformula \startformula \startalign[n=3] \NC f(x) \NC = \frac{1}{2\pi} \int\limits_{-\infty}^{+\infty} g(y) \ms e^{i y x} \ms dy \NC (x \in \reals) \NR[calcb-chapter4-eqn5:i][i] \NC g(y) \NC = \int\limits_{-\infty}^{+\infty} f(x) \ms e^{-i y x} d x \NC ( y \in \reals) \NR[calcb-chapter4-eqn5:ii][ii] \NC \int\limits_{-\infty}^{+\infty} |f(x)|^{2} dx \NC = \frac{1}{2\pi} \int\limits_{-\infty}^{+\infty} \Big| g(y) \Big|^{2} \ms d y \NC \quad \NR[calcb-chapter4-eqn5:iii][iii] \stopalign \stopformula \stoptext

missing *8t.tfm files

Hi all, I've recently started reading about typefaces in ConTeXt, and trying out the examples of `showfont.pdf', but stumbled upon errors for almost all the fonts.

Buffers (gone) in MK IV (was: MK IV & Lilypond)

I can > send along some log info if others have found it to work. Hans has mentioned several times that buffers are not going to be written to files with luaTeX any more. This has a weird consequence on many modules which relied exactly on that trick. Short example of what goes wrong: \starttext \startbuffer[a] Hello world! \stopbuffer \typebuffer[a] %\executesystemcommand{dosomethingwith \jobname-a.tmp} \stoptext The problem is that MK II created a file \jobname-a.tmp and lilypond module processed exactly that file further. In MK IV, that file is not created any more (you can check that by running the above example with --lua first and then with pdfTeX again. Only in the second case a file [whateverthefilename]-a.tmp is created.) Lilypond module relied on that "feature" (I would rather call it dirty-but-very-useful-trick). Hans, what's the current general recipe for this kind of [mis]use of buffers? Mojca
