new debian context and debian-nonfree 2006.12.21-0.1
by Norbert Preining 22 Dec '06

22 Dec '06

Hi all! I re-repacked the stuff and now there are 2 packages: context context-nonfree the content is quite easy: Everything from cont-tmf, cont-fnt, cont-ext, cont-img is in context, BUT the list of files attached in MANIFEST.nonfree which are in context-nonfree. context suggests context-nonfree I plan to add a lot of documentation files from the website to context-nonfree. Files can be moved around at will, let me know. Description of context a bit shortened and less commercial. Otherwise no changes. Same location as usual.

\placeformula and $$ doesn't work anymore
by Hubertus Schmidt 21 Dec '06

21 Dec '06

Hi all, for some weeks I need to tex formulas again and tried the way I used to do it: \placeformula $$ f(t)={1\over2\pi}\int_0^\infty e^{i(\omega t-kx)} dx $$ It didn't work anymore?!? It doesn't place a number nor does it do the spacing properly. It does work the "context" way using \placeformula \startformula f(t)={1\over2\pi}\int_0^\infty e^{i(\omega t-kx)} dx \stopformula but to be honest that's quit a lot to type. "$$" is just nice and short and all the old documents I wrote wont work anymore... I run This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.30.4-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.5) (format=cont-en 2006. 12.4) 4 DEC 2006 21:46 ...

Context style macros for metapost
by Aditya Mahajan 21 Dec '06

21 Dec '06

Hi, There are certain things that I do not like about metapost (it is not possible to specify drawoptions and filloptions separately, it lacks some of the features of tikz, etc.) and I was playing around trying to implement them. Being used to the ConTeXt way of things, I wanted to write macros in metapost the same way (define.... setup.... etc.) This is my first attempt --- a replacement for dashpattern macro. delimiters [[ ]] ; def definedash suffix @# = dodefinedash.@# enddef ; vardef dodefinedash@#[[text t]] = save on, off, w ; let on = _on_ ; let off = _off_ ; w = 0 ; picture @# ; @# := nullpicture t enddef ; definedash [[myeven]] [[on 3 off 3]] ; beginfig(1) draw (0,0)--(100,100) dashed myeven ; endfig ; end; Is there a better way to do this in metapost?

\hairline in the header and column rule
by Dalyoung Jeong 21 Dec '06

21 Dec '06

Dear all, I'd like to ask about drawing a line in the header and a line between columns. 1)I'd like to add hairlines in the header using before and after in \setupheader, but the lines was drawn from the leftend of the leftmargin with the textwidth only. So, there is no line at the right end of the header. How to make the lines start from the left end of the text area? 2) I setup [rule=on] in column setup, but the length of the line depends on the length of the text. How to draw the separation line from the top to bottom? Thank you for reading. Regards Dalyoung Here is the code and output. ******************************* \setupheader[][before=\hairline, after=\hairline] \setupheadertexts[][text for the header] \setuppagenumbering[location=footer] \starttext \startcolumns[rule=on, n=2]

Something about vertical Chinese typesetting
by Zhichu Chen 21 Dec '06

21 Dec '06

Dear Texers, I am typesetting some traditional Chinese articles. They are typesetted in vertical, and the reading order is from right to left. This can be done by Hans' \startvertical . . . \stopvertical pair. But as shown in the attached file, there are some famous notes, descriptions and explanations to these articles. The traditional way, in Chinese, to typeset these notes is rather to insert them in some small fonts (say, half size of the \bodyfontsize) right below the word to be explained, than to use footnotes which is common in English. I've tried some ways, e.g., use \startcolumnsetspan . . . \stopcolumnsetspan to put the body text across the note text, but all failed. Can anyone give me some clue? -- Sincerely yours, Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------- Zhi-chu Chen | Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility No. 2019 | Jialuo Rd. | Jiading | Shanghai | P.R.

Context -> Tex
by Paul Jones 20 Dec '06

20 Dec '06

Hello, Is there some way that I can convert my context file into tex? I am just pondering how much faster running straight tex through pdftex would be than using context. Is there some way to run it through texexec and get tex out of it instead of a pdf/dvi? Or are there stats about this kind of thing somewhere that I can lookup? Thanks, paul

cannot install Times (Cyr) ptb font using TexFont script under MiKTeX 2.5
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 20 Dec '06

20 Dec '06

Hello there, I cannot install Times (Cyr) ptb font using TexFont script under MiKTeX 2.5. I run the following command (from the folder where font collection sits) texfont --sourcepath=. --vendor=adobe --collection=timescyr --makepath --install It does copy the font source into "E:\Documents and Settings\All Users.WINDOWS\Application Data\MiKTeX\2.5\fonts\tfm\adobe" (I have Windows on E:) but says "need at most two non-option arguments" and create no tfm and vf metrics. The problem resembles "[NTG-context] TeXFont Problem" issue that was reselved by reistalling TeX to a non-space path like C:/tex, but it is not a kind of thing I want to do with MikTeX 2.5. (I tried also a trick with fake fontroot timescyr>texfont --fontroot=e:\tex --sourcepath=. --vendor=adobe --collection=timescyr --makepath --install but was defeated as follows TeXFont 2.2.1 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 2000-2004 processing aborted : unknown tex root e:\tex ) -- With best regards Vyatcheslav mailto:yatskovsky@gmail.com

Re: [NTG-context] typesetting in Cyrillic with Times
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 19 Dec '06

Hello, Ok, now I've started playing with Cyrillic fonts seriously. 1. Antiqua-torunska is really Cyrillic but its typeface far from Times Roman. \usetypescript[antykwa-torunska][t2a] \definetypeface[antw][rm][serif][antykwa-torunska][default][rscale=1,encoding=t2a] \setupbodyfont[antw,12pt] Unfortunatelly, it seems that it is only t2a-ready typescript. Using the same trick with iwona fails. Looking through type-enc I found that corresponding typescript misses t2a encoding. Why? 2.

uc-encoded fonts and accents
by Mojca Miklavec 18 Dec '06

18 Dec '06

Hello, in enco-uc.tex there are some definitions which use "combining" accents: \definecharacter textgrave {\uchar3{0}} \definecharacter textacute {\uchar3{1}} \definecharacter textcircumflex {\uchar3{2}} \definecharacter texttilde {\uchar3{3}} \definecharacter textmacron {\uchar3{4}} \definecharacter textbreve {\uchar3{6}} \definecharacter textdotaccent {\uchar3{7}} \definecharacter textdiaeresis {\uchar3{8}} \definecharacter textring {\uchar3{10}} \definecharacter texthungarumlaut {\uchar3{11}} \definecharacter textcaron {\uchar3{12}} \definecharacter textogonek {\uchar3{40}} But this is almost useless, since those fonts that have things like "ccaron" missing (which are exactly the ones for which such kind of definitions might be useful) don't have any glyphs on those slots. Appart from that \buildtextaccent is used for "combining", so there should be no real need for using "combining accents" at that place. Here's a copy of relevant lines from contextnames.txt (as a refence to which values the values above should be changed if others agree): 005E;asciicircum;textasciicircum;CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT 0060;grave;textgrave;GRAVE ACCENT 00A8;dieresis;textdiaeresis;DIAERESIS 00AF;macron;textmacron;MACRON 00B4;acute;textacute;ACUTE ACCENT 00B8;cedilla;textcedilla;CEDILLA 02C6;circumflex;textcircumflex;MODIFIER LETTER CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT 02C7;caron;textcaron;CARON 02D8;breve;textbreve;BREVE 02D9;dotaccent;textdotaccent;DOT ABOVE 02DA;ring;textring;RING ABOVE 02DB;ogonek;textogonek;OGONEK 02DC;tilde;texttilde;SMALL TILDE 02DD;hungarumlaut;texthungarumlaut;DOUBLE ACUTE ACCENT Would it be possible to fix those lines in enco-uc.tex?

french, ponctuation and directdiscretionary or discretionarytoken pb

selecting big bodyfont results in wrong size
by Alex Lubberts 14 Dec '06

14 Dec '06

Hi all, Some strange thing with fontsize is happening. In my typescript file is: \starttypescript[Chaparral] \definetypeface [Chaparral][rm][serif][chaparral][dtp][encoding=uc] ... because I want to use the 'dtp sizes' (and I'm using XeTex). For a bodyfont of 12pt is defined in type-siz.tex: \definebodyfontenvironment [12pt] [\s!text=12pt,\s!script=9pt,\s!scriptscript=7pt, \c!x=10pt,\c!xx=8pt,\c!big=14pt,\c!small=10pt] So one would expect that switching to a big bodyfont will result in a fontsize of 14pt. But when I typeset the next file: \usetypescriptfile[type-adobe] \usetypescript[Chaparral] \setupbodyfont[Chaparral,12pt] \starttext Normal size is correct: \the\bodyfontsize. \switchtobodyfont[big] Big size should be 14pt, but is: \the\bodyfontsize. \stoptext I see that the big bodyfontsize is 14.4pt. (I attached the resulting pdf.) How do I fix this? Thanks and with regards, Alex Lubberts

Hi Steffen, Steffen Wolfrum wrote: > > Is there an equivalent for > > \definewhitespacemethod [bigger] {\ctxparskip10pt plus3pt minus3pt} > > that must be used in register? Probably yes, because registers basically treat every line as a paragraph. I am not the most knowledgeable person about registers, so I am re-forwarding this to the mailing list. For the benefit of the list, a short summary of the question is this: \setupinterlinespace[stretch=1.5] \definewhitespacemethod [bigger] {\ctxparskip10pt plus3pt minus3pt} \setupwhitespace[bigger] creates lots of flexibility in the interline and interparagraph space, so you can do something like this: \definestartstop[kleiner] [before={\startcolumns[n=2] \setupinterlinespace[stretch=1.5] \setupwhitespace [bigger]}, after={\stopcolumns }] and that works like a charm in equalizing out the bottom lines of the columns, for the running text.

Hello, after updating to the latest ConTeXt release (via i-Installer on my Mac) all my custom files are gone! I put them in .../texmf.local/tex/ context/user/ and now there is emptiness :-( The installer shouldn't touch those files, right? Is there a way to recover them? I'm a newbie to ConTeXt so it took me ages to collect all the info necessary to assemble a little module that provides theorem-like environments ... and I need this so bad! Oliver

small smaller and vertical stretch
by Steffen Wolfrum 13 Dec '06

13 Dec '06

Hi, using "small" and "medium" rather than "8pt" or "10pt" gives some vertical "stretch". Very useful in some situations: \setupinterlinespace[small] \setupwhitespace[medium] But what to do if "small" is still too big? And yet the "stretch" is needed? While I can say ... \blank[.75*medium] ... this operation is not allowed for the two above. So, what to do? Steffen

strange behaviour of \definedfont['Some Name'] in XeTeX
by Mojca Miklavec 13 Dec '06

13 Dec '06

Hello, I'm probaby misusing the feature (most robably because I just didn't take time to study how to do it properly), but it behaves really strange. In XeTeX I first did \font\f='Some Name' \f which worked OK. But when I tried the same with \definedfont['Some Name'] it resulted in strange behaviour. For some fonts, metapost has been invoked and complained, but the resulting document had the proper font plus "scaled 1000" written on the first page where the font has been selected. For other fonts it failed completely. What's actually the most clean way of including an "uc-encoded" font at a specific font size, but without the need of bold or any other "typefaces" (just for a title for example)? (Which basically means: I only want the same behaviour as the plain TeX expression above + uc encoding.) Thanks, Mojca

texmfstart problem (long time spend somewhere)
by Denis Pinsard 12 Dec '06

12 Dec '06

Hello, For near two years I use ConTeXt under the MiTeX distribution. Last weekend I installed the last version of ConTeXt (2006-07-21) available on MikTeX. Since this installation, the program texmfstart don't work correctly. After the command : "texmfstart texexec first.tex" nothing happen for a long time before texexec is actualy executed. After the command : "texmfstart --verbose texexec first.tex", I can see : texmfstart version 2.0.0 expanding 'texexec' to 'texexec.rb' locating 'texexec.rb' in current path '.' locating 'texexec.rb' in caller path 'C:/documents/proxima/tmp' <LONG TIME (about 1 min)> kpse : direct (forced) using 'kpsewhich' to locate 'texexec' in suffix space 'rb' (1) registering 'texexec' as 'C:/texmf/scripts/context/ruby/texexec.rb' registering 'THREAD' as 'C:/texmf/scripts/context/ruby' starting texexec using 'system' call: ruby C:/texmf/scripts/context/ruby/texexec.rb first.tex TeXExec | processing document 'first.tex' <ETC> If I execute "texmfstart.rb" instead of "texmfstart.exe" the behaviour is the same but I see that the time is spent in the "KpseRemote::start_client" method. I have installed on the same computer a stand-alone version of ConTexT and the behaviour is the same. The have installed a new version of ruby (version 1.8.4) and the behaviour is the same. Any help on this problem is wellcome. Thank you. Denis Pinsard (dpinsard1(a)free.fr)

Scanning the recent issue of the MAPS (Dutch NTG user group magazine) I encountered the interesting article about experiences with the development of luatex and friends. Especially the possibility of having protocols http:// and file:// as input source seems promising. Allow me to suggest another opportunity here: the inclusion of svn:// as a source. I myself store my important tex and metapost sources in a svn repository in order to keep track of versions and branches in an efficient manner. Others might want to do the same. It therefore would be nice if tex typesetting could directly access those repositories through the svn:// protocol too. Maybe Taco and Hans feel challenged.... dr. H. van der Meer

New Debian context package based on context release 061207

indenting of first paragraph in (sub)section
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 11 Dec '06

11 Dec '06

Hello, I' trying to figure out why \setupindenting[first,medium,yes] does not indents the FIRST paragraph of a section or subsection. An example follows. Thanks in advance. ---------------------------------------- \setupbodyfont[lbr,11pt] \setuppapersize[A4] \setuplayout[width=17cm,height=28cm, topspace=1cm, header=1cm, footer=1cm, location=middle] \setupitemize[n,joinedup] \setuppagenumbering[location=] \setupwhitespace[medium] \setupindenting[first,medium,yes] \showframe \starttext \section{INTRODUCTION} \subsection{Rationale} Anyone who has been around the computer industry for a decade or more is well aware of this phenomenon: machines are getting exponentially more powerful per unit cost, yet users do not perceive this improvement in the applications that they purchase. For example, while word processors are clearly faster today than they were 21 years ago, they aren't 16,384 times faster as Moore's Law would suggest. Part of the problem, of course, is that some of the additional processing power has been employed to support new features (such as a bit-mapped display), but a large part of the reason software users aren't seeing an increase in speed is because many of today's programmers don't take the time to write efficient software, or they simply {\it don't know} how to write fast code. \stoptext -- С наилучшими пожеланиями, Vyatcheslav mailto:yatskovsky@gmail.com

reference to \starttyping
by andrea valle 09 Dec '06

Hi to all, I'm typesetting a manual for a programming language. I'm inserting long excerpts from code and I have my nice line numbers as explained by the wiki. Code is inserted using \startcode\stopcode mechanism (I have two type of starttyping). I cannot understand how to refer to these code blocks. I mean, I need to have something like this: "in the code at page xxx, ...". I guess it's simple but seems I cannot solve.

\startquotation, \cite and footnotes
by Oliver Buerschaper 08 Dec '06

08 Dec '06

Hi, I've been wondering whether someone (perhaps Taco?) can give me a hint on the following: 1. Is there an automated way to place citations into footnotes? So whenever I use \cite in the running text it should produce a footnote with the reference alongside the usual footnotes. However, when \cite is invoked within a footnote it should just type out the reference inline (in the footnote, of course ;-). So far I've done this manually with \footnote{\cite{key}} (which at times produced its own strange results like two footnote blocks on the same page). 2. When typesetting a quotation block I'd like to add a reference directly after the closing quotation marks. However, including the \cite command before \stopquotation places the reference before the closing marks, and moving \cite out of the \start \stop block makes the reference appear on a new line ... Any help highly appreciated! Cheers, Oliver
