Context and eplain.tex
by John R. Culleton 06 Dec '06

06 Dec '06

These two excellent macro sets continue to be incompatible. Currently this is the error message I get when I do an \input eplain.tex in a Context document, using the latest eplain.tex version 3.1: -------------------------------------- (./eplain.tex ! No room for a new \count . \ch@ck ...\else \errmessage {No room for a new #3} \fi \newinsert ...nt by\m@ne \ch@ck 0\insc@unt \count \ch@ck 1\insc@unt \dimen \... l.2128 \newinsert\@indexproof ----------------------------------------------------- I had patched an earlier version of eplain by commenting out one line and it would work with Context. But that line seems not to exist any more. It was: %\def^^L{\par}% Am I the only one that tries to use these two in the same document run? -- John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost.

Anyone for Garamond?
by John R. Culleton 05 Dec '06

05 Dec '06

I am able to establish Adobe Garamond as my body type with just a couple of TeXish commands. But my maneuvering though the maze of typescripts and synonymns yields no results. Here is my current typescript type-agaramond.tex: ------------------------------------------------------------- \usetypescriptfile[type-buy] \starttypescript [serif] [garamond] [8r] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-Roman] [8r-raw-AGaramond-Regular] [encoding=8r] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-Italic] [8r-raw-AGaramond-Italic] [encoding=8r] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-Roman-SmallCaps] [8r-raw-gdsc] [encoding=8r] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [garamond] [name] \usetypescript[serif][fallback] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [AGaramond-Roman] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [AGaramond-Italic] \definefontsynonym [SerifCaps] [AGaramond-Roman-SmallCaps] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [AGaramond] \definetypeface [MyGaramond] [rm] [serif] [garamond] [default] [encoding=8r] \stoptypescript ---------------------- And here are the commands in the file: ---------------------------------- \loadmapfile[8r-adobe-garamond.map] \usetypescriptfile[type-agaramond.tex] \usetypescript[garamond] \setupbodyfont[AGaramond,10pt] -------------------------------- The map file referenced above and produced by the Texfonts utility is: -------------------------------------------------------------------- % This file is generated by the TeXFont Perl script. % % You need to add the following line to pdftex.cfg: % % map +8r-adobe-garamond.map % % Alternatively in your TeX source you can say: % % \pdf {+8r-adobe-garamond.map} % % In ConTeXt you can best use: % % \loadmapfile[8r-adobe-garamond.map] 8r-raw-AGaramond-Italic AGaramond-Italic 4 < AGaramond-Italic.pfb 8r.enc 8r-raw-AGaramond-Regular AGaramond-Regular 4 < AGaramond-Regular.pfb 8r.enc 8r-raw-AGaramond-RegularSC AGaramond-RegularSC 4 < AGaramond-RegularSC.pfb 8r.enc 8r-raw-gdsc AGaramond-RegularSC 4 < gdsc____.pfb 8r.enc -------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are no error messages, but no Garamond either.

TABLE moves to the right with new ConTeXt
by Peter Münster 05 Dec '06

05 Dec '06

Hello, with the latest ConTeXt, it seems, that space around \bTR, \eTR, before \bTD and after \eTD matters. Such space seems to move the whole TABLE to the right: \def\XXX#1{\bTR\bTD#1\eTD\eTR} \starttext \centerline{\bTABLE\dorecurse{2}{\XXX{bla}}\eTABLE} \centerline{\bTABLE\dorecurse{2}{\XXX{bla} }\eTABLE} \centerline{\bTABLE\dorecurse{20}{\XXX{bla} % Why does this space matter here? }\eTABLE} \stoptext Is this behaviour normal and wanted?

ragged right control

I have been setting bibliographies using the following instructions: \definehead[BibTitle][subject] \setupsectionblock[BibTitle][number=no,page=right] \setuphead[BibTitle][style={sc},after={\blank}] \def\hangover{\hangafter=1\hangindent=1.5pc\raggedright} \definestartstop[bibliography][ before={ \page[no] \indenting[never] \startalignment[left] \BibTitle{bibliography} \stopalignment \bgroup\appendtoks\hangover\to\everypar }, after={ \egroup \indenting[yes]}] Is there a way to control the degree of the raggedness of the right margin---other than by inserting hyphens manually when feasible?

OpenOffice export
by Idris Samawi Hamid 05 Dec '06

05 Dec '06

Hi gang, I just learned that OOo 2.04 has a LaTeX export (downloading now). Any of you bright programmers up to writing a ConTeXt export (or porting the LaTeX filters to ConTeXt)? I'm quite serious: if anyone is interested I'll write (or help write) a grant proposal for it (I've already had some TeX-related proposals funded so...). Please write me if you are interested in a grant, or else we can just discuss it on dev-context(a)ntg.nl and get it done another way!

columns does not break

04 Dec '06

Dear, final formating of Beginners' manual shows a bug of breaking columns (in setup index). Here is a minimal example: ----------------------- \showframe \starttext \startcolumns [n=2,tolerance=verytolerant,rule=~\vrule height\maxcolumnheight~] \switchtobodyfont[10pt] \framed[height=.3\textheight,width=broad]{.3textheight} \framed[height=.8\textheight,width=broad]{.8textheight} \framed[height=.1\textheight,width=broad]{.1textheight} % \framed[height=.1\textheight,width=broad]{.1textheight} % \framed[height=.1\textheight,width=broad]{.1textheight} \stopcolumns \stoptext ----------------------- If we comment two last lines everything goes well. Uncommenting them the biggest frame leaves in the first column and extents the layout. In the manual it results in some setup syntax is out of the page. Please, could you help Vit

prodint typescripts remove style

Hi Hans or Taco, or anyone else, the typescripts which you (recently) suggested for the prodint symbol work, but it turns out that any font styles (for example \bf, \it, etc.) do not.

project structure & cannot find file problem
by Fabian Kloosterman 01 Dec '06

01 Dec '06

Hello, I just started playing with ConTeXt and setting up project/product/component structures. I made the following directory structure: /project /project/project.tex /project/environment.tex /project/product /project/product/product.tex /project/product/component /project/product/component/component.tex /project/product/component/subcomponent.tex The component.tex file inserts the subcomponent.tex file using the \input command. Creating a pdf from component.tex (by running texexec from within /project/product/component) work fine. But when I try to run texexec in the product folder to create the product pdf, it complains that it cannot find the subcomponent.tex What do I have to do for texexec to be able to find the subcomponent.texfile?

Module for ptj
by Thomas A. Schmitz 27 Nov '06

27 Nov '06

Hi Aditya, I've just played some with your module for the PracTeX journal. This is very nice to have, I'm absolutely thrilled! When I wrote for them, I just relied on a self-cooked style, but yours looks much closer to the official LaTeX template. Just two or three very small remarks: 1. You should mention somewhere that your module necessitates installing the texgyre fonts (at least pagella) + the map files. They don't come with a normal ConTeXt installation (yet). 2. I haven't really looke into the texgyre fonts yet, but is it possible to make mediaeval numbers the default? Given that they are used for page and section numbers, that would make sense, IMHO. 3. The line endings in lines 226 and 227 need to be escaped; otherwise, you'll get a spurious space in front of the abstract buffer (visible in output in demo mode). Thanks so much for providing this module; I'll certainly use it if I write anything for PTJ again! Best Thomas

Bug: missing stopper?

Hello, playing with \defineenumeration I noticed some weird behaviour: whenever I set an enumeration to be unnumbered the stopper is mysteriously suppressed ... I searched the mailing list for this problem and I discovered that people have experienced problems related to the stopper option before. However, these appeared to have been solved. Now I'm not sure whether I missed a detail or stumbled upon a potentially remaining bug. \defineenumeration [theorem] [text=Theorem] \defineenumeration [remark] [text=Remark] \setupenumerations [location=serried,width=fit,distance=1em,stopper=.] \setupenumerations [remark] [number=no] \starttext \starttheorem \input ward \stoptheorem \startremark \input tufte \stopremark \stoptext By the way what's the role of the option right I found in the source code? Same as stopper? Deprecated? Best wishes, Oliver

Parsing texexec output
by Philipp Reichmuth 23 Nov '06

23 Nov '06

Hi, I was fixing a bug in my AucTeX and found that at present it is difficult to parse the output from texexec. Basically Emacs runs texexec in a buffer in --batchmode, then tries to parse the output whether an error occurred and where. Unfortunately with texexec I don't get any error messages (besides the return code), so if something goes wrong, the user only knows that something isn't right, but not what it is. (It also doesn't print page numbers, either.) In comparison, LaTeX when run in \nonstopmode prints the error message normally and continues to process the file; that makes it easy to parse it, jump to the line where the error was detected and even present the user with an explanation of the error message. In order to get similar features with ConTeXt, it would be nice if texexec could be made to be a little bit more verbose in its --batchmode output. Is there a way to do this currently? Philipp

Still have no idea about how to specify fonts in JavaScript fields.
by Zhichu Chen 23 Nov '06

23 Nov '06

Hello everyone, Thanks for suggesting some great documents last time. But after looking up in AcroJS Guide, and PDF Reference , etc., I still don't know how can I use special fonts in a JavaScript field. My JS code is: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ function start_clock() { var thetime=new Date(); var nhours=thetime.getHours(); var nmins=thetime.getMinutes(); var nsecn=thetime.getSeconds(); if (nhours<0) nhours="0"+nhours; if (nsecn<10) nsecn="0"+nsecn; if (nmins<10) nmins="0"+nmins; font.Digital = font.CourBI ; vv = this.getField("time.clock") ; if (vv) { vv.value = nhours+":"+nmins+":"+nsecn; vv.readonly = true ; vv.textColor = color.red ; vv.textFont = font.Digital ; // font.TimesBI Cour HelvB Symbol ZapfD this.dirty = false }} timeout=app.setInterval('start_clock()',1000); ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I guess there are already some definitions about ``font.CourBI'' but where can I find the original code of the definition which I can imitate it to create a new font. Thanks -- Sincerely yours, Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------- Zhi-chu Chen | Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility No. 2019 | Jialuo Rd. | Jiading | Shanghai | P.R.

Re: [NTG-context] using cmbright and hfbright fonts
by M.J. Kallen 23 Nov '06

23 Nov '06

Ok, I've solved the AMS symbol problem by defining the following typescripts: \starttypescript [math] [cmbr] [default] \definefontsynonym [Cmbr-Math-Alpha] [cmbras10] \definefontsynonym [Cmbr-Math-Beta] [cmbrbs10] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [math] [cmbr] [name] \definefontsynonym [MathAlpha] [Cmbr-Math-Alpha] \definefontsynonym [MathBeta] [Cmbr-Math-Beta] \stoptypescript Now it just needs cleaning up... In anticipation of further refinement, I've put a test on my wiki userpage at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/User:Maarten-Jan. ConTeXt live has the CM bright font installed, but not the hfbright Type1 version. Maarten-Jan ----- Original Message ---- From: M.J. Kallen <mj_kallen(a)yahoo.com> To: [NTG-context] maillist <ntg-context(a)ntg.nl> Sent: Tuesday, November 21, 2006 1:10:54 PM Subject: [NTG-context] using cmbright and hfbright fonts Hi all, I couldn't find anything on using the Computer Modern Bright font together with the Type1 versions (hfbright) so I experimented a little myself. I consider myself a ConTeXt novice, so I hope others can help me improve it. Attached are two source files: cmbr.tex and textfragment-context.tex. The latter is the text used to test fonts in the free font survey (http://www.tug.org/tex-archive/info/Free_Math_Font_Survey/survey.html) loosely adjusted for use in ConTeXt. The first file contains my attempt at defining typescripts for CM Bright and compares regular modern with CM Bright. I have a pdf output available for those who do not have the necessary font files. I'm particularly interested in CM Bright/hfbright, because of the sans serif math font which I believe is a good candidate for use with other sans serif fonts (like the Verdana example in This Way #9). Besides fixing any mistakes in my typescripts and setting things like bold math and encodings up correctly, the one thing that remains to be done (I think) is to define the math collection for cmbr. I'm not sure if something elaborate like math-ams.tex is required. hfbright has two files hfbras10.afm and hfbrbs10.afm, which look very similar to msam10.afm and msbm10.afm so maybe there's an easier way (font synonyms?) of using the hfbright AMS symbols instead of the regular AMS symbols? I think this would be a nice addition (perhaps in the form of a module) to ConTeXt. Any suggestions and help are greatly appreciated!

overlay problem with textext

Hi all, the attached example works with the version from 17.11.|20.11., but not with the current (22.11.06, 11:02) one.

the same old \column problem

Hans et al, did \column ever work or is it supposed to? I.e. I guess I should be able "jump" to the next column in \startcolumns ... \column % next column ... \stopcolumns Without the \column, it works only for longer paragraphs, but e.g. not with \startlines - I'm trying to typeset lyrics, and the column *always* breaks within a verse instead of between, even if all the verses have the same number of lines, so that it would be easily possible to balance cleanly.

unic-xxx.tex glyph lists: minor bugs, questions
by Philipp Reichmuth 23 Nov '06

23 Nov '06

Hi, I've been writing a script that sifts through the unic-xxx.tex files to get a readable mapping what Unicode characters are supported using \Amacron-style names. In the process I found one bug and something that might be another bug: - the Cyrillic block (unic-004.tex) is missing an \unknownchar line for U+04CF, so that the remaining (few) glyphs are off by one - the Hebrew block (unic-005.tex) starts with a \numexpr line indicating an offset of 224 = E0; however, the first character in the list is U+05D0. So either the whole block is off by 16, starting at 0x0490 instead of 0x0500, or the 224 should be a 208 (=D0) instead. BTW unic-005.tex is the only file with Macintosh line endings. Are the unic-xxx files automatically generated or maintained by hand? Incidentally, it would be trivial now to put the list of ConTeXt glyphs on the Wiki, if anyone's interested. I wanted to use this to work towards better support for the whole range of ConTeXt glyphs with OpenType fonts under XeTeX, by reading what ConTeXt glyphs are available in a font and building a list of "\catcode`ā=\active \def ā {\amacron}"-style list for the rest. (Unfortunately this kind of list would be font-specific, but the generic alternative would be a huge list of active characters with an \ifnum\XeTeXcharglyph"....>0 macro behind it, and that would probable be quite slow.) I wonder if there is a more intelligent way to achieve this goal; since part of the logic for mapping code points into glyph macros exists already, it would be easier if there was a way to reuse that. The best way out would be if I could enable ConTeXt's UTF-8 regime while running XeTeX in \XeTeXinputencoding=bytes mode, but I haven't gotten that to work yet. Philipp

I would appreciate if someone can point me to some reading stuff. met vriendelijke groet Hans van der Meer

please add support for Korean language in unic-cjk.tex
by Dohyun Kim 22 Nov '06

22 Nov '06

Hi. Recently I have tried to support typesetting UTF-8 Korean language along with context-beta. I have uploaded related files to a temporary server for your reference (3.5Mb): http://210.94.201.157/~nomos/KTUG/context-korean-test.tar.gz But as the current unic-cjk.tex does not cover Korean Hangul Syllables area and CJK Compatibility Ideographs area, I have to edit that file every time I upgrade context. It is so an annoying thing to do it every time that I suggest adding those areas in unic-cjk.tex file, like this: %%% Hangul Syllables \dostepwiserecurse{172}{215}{1}{\expanded{\defineunicodecommand {\recurselevel}} {\lookaheaduchar}} %%% CJK Compatibility Ideographs \dostepwiserecurse{249}{250}{1}{\expanded{\defineunicodecommand {\recurselevel}} {\lookaheaduchar}} Additionally, I here report some possible bugs of context-beta related to CJK (especially Korean language) support. First, unintended space is inserted when I change font family. This disappears if I add a comment sign in \enableunicodefont command in font-uni.tex. \def\enableunicodefont#1% {\definefontsynonym[\s!Unicode][\getvalue{\??uc#1\c!file}]% \def\unicodescale {\getvalue{\??uc#1\c!scale}}% \def\unicodeheight {\getvalue{\??uc#1\c!height}}% \def\unicodedepth {\getvalue{\??uc#1\c!depth}}% \def\unicodedigits {\getvalue{\??uc#1\c!conversion}}% \def\handleunicodeglyph {\getvalue{\??uc#1\c!command}}% \doifnot\currentregime{utf}{\enableregime[unicode]}% % the following \relax's are realy needed \doifvalue{\??uc#1\c!interlinespace}\v!yes \setupinterlinespace\relax \doifvalue{\??uc#1\c!strut}\v!yes {\setunicodestrut\unicodeheight\unicodedepth}% <- HERE {\resetunicodestrut}% \getvalue{\??uc#1\c!commands}\relax} Secondly, to deal with special commands in pdf bookmarks, "\simplifycommands" should be added to \sanitizePDFuniencoding command in spec-tst.tex. \long\def\sanitizePDFuniencoding#1\to#2% {\enablePDFunicrlf \simplifycommands % <- HERE \let\unicodechar\relax % prevent further expansion \retainlccodes\lccode32=255 % slooow \lowercasestring\PDFunicodetrigger#1\to#2% \edef#2{\expandafter\doPDFuni#2\empty\empty}} % slooow Thirdly, "\definefileinsertion{tpd}{mps}" in spec-dpx.tex seems to be a typo. I think this should be corrected as follows: \definefileinsertion{dpx}{mps} In fact, as an unsubscribed user I have posted a similar message to the context mailinglist a few weeks ago . But I did not obtain any response then. Now being subscribed, I repost it. Best Regards, -- Dohyun Kim http://people.ktug.or.kr/~nomos/

using cmbright and hfbright fonts
by M.J. Kallen 21 Nov '06

21 Nov '06

Hi all, I couldn't find anything on using the Computer Modern Bright font together with the Type1 versions (hfbright) so I experimented a little myself. I consider myself a ConTeXt novice, so I hope others can help me improve it. Attached are two source files: cmbr.tex and textfragment-context.tex. The latter is the text used to test fonts in the free font survey (http://www.tug.org/tex-archive/info/Free_Math_Font_Survey/survey.html) loosely adjusted for use in ConTeXt. The first file contains my attempt at defining typescripts for CM Bright and compares regular modern with CM Bright. I have a pdf output available for those who do not have the necessary font files. I'm particularly interested in CM Bright/hfbright, because of the sans serif math font which I believe is a good candidate for use with other sans serif fonts (like the Verdana example in This Way #9). Besides fixing any mistakes in my typescripts and setting things like bold math and encodings up correctly, the one thing that remains to be done (I think) is to define the math collection for cmbr. I'm not sure if something elaborate like math-ams.tex is required. hfbright has two files hfbras10.afm and hfbrbs10.afm, which look very similar to msam10.afm and msbm10.afm so maybe there's an easier way (font synonyms?) of using the hfbright AMS symbols instead of the regular AMS symbols? I think this would be a nice addition (perhaps in the form of a module) to ConTeXt. Any suggestions and help are greatly appreciated!

Since \fillinfield, as far as I understand, use the same underlying mechanisms as other kinds of fields I find it somewhat surprising that these fields are not affected by this missing configuration. Anyway, what is the name of the option that I have to use, I just can't seem to find it. /Fredrik

Problems with \fillinfield

Hi, PDF fields created with \fillinfield lose their filled in values as soon as they lose focus. I have tried several different documents, including mwidget-s.pdf, with the latest Acrobat Reader on both Linux and Windows but I always get the same result. Any others with similar problems? Regards, Fredrik
