Re: [NTG-context] postponed block and headers
by Paul Jones 17 Nov '06

17 Nov '06

Below is somewhat of a silly example, but it does show the problem I am experiencing. It looks like the commands inside of the postponing block can not effect the headers. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? The only way I have been able to change the headers is to place a \page[blank] at the beginning of my postponed block, but then there are no headers for the rest of the document. Basically I just want there to be no headers on any page where I postpone a block. Any help would be much appreciated \setuppagenumbering[conversion=numbers, location=] \setupheadertexts[pagenumber] \setuphead[chapter][header=high, footer=high] \startpostponing[+2] \chapter{Chapter with header} \stoppostponing \starttext \chapter{Chapter no header} \dorecurse{20}{\input davis } \stoptext paul

Bug in Description?
by Karsten Heymann 16 Nov '06

16 Nov '06

Hello, I need to mimick enumerated lists with descriptions, as the list labels are passed to context by an external program. For this I need the text after the label indented exactly as far as the following lines. Following the wiki I set distance=0cm, but this does not seem to be honored, but setting it to a very small value does work. So I suppose it's a bug. Yours, Karsten \definedescription[DescA][align=left,location=hanging,width=1cm,margin=1cm,distance=0cm] \definedescription[DescB][align=left,location=hanging,width=1cm,margin=1cm,distance=0.0001cm] \starttext Wrong: \DescA{1.} \input knuth \DescA{2.} \input knuth Right: \DescB{1.} \input knuth \DescB{2.} \input knuth \stoptext

beta -> current
by Hans Hagen 16 Nov '06

16 Nov '06

Hi, We've gone current with the beta. Next week there will be release notes as well as the formal tex live/collection code freeze. Apart from the usual bug fixes and extensions, the most noticeable change is that from now on there are also mkii files (and mkiv as well as lua files for those testing luatex). Next year, when the TeXGyre project has released all new base fonts, there will be a switch to using these fonts instead of the existing variants, for this release, one has to load type-gyr. There has been some organizational changes to the metapost inclusion (mptopdf uses supp-pdf, while context itself uses an [to be futher] optimized version as a prelude to mkiv conversion). If you want to know to what extend luatex will influence context, keep an eye on the mk.pdf document (or read the coming Maps, TugBoat or other user group magazines) which (will) describe some experiments, history and usage.

relative scaling for fonts
by Pablo Rodríguez 16 Nov '06

16 Nov '06

Hi there, I'm using XeTeX one of the features that I miss at most from XeLaTeX (from fontspec), is the possibility to set automatically the scaling of fonts so that they match the lowercase or uppercase letters of the roman font. I wonder whether there is something similar for ConTeXt. By the way, the ConTeXt uses in my view, the wrong XeTeX way to set the interlinear space, since it seems that \XeTeXuseglyphmetrics is set to 0. Probably I should be missing something, but if \XeTeXuseglyphmetrics is not set to 1, ConTeXt will set the interlinear space not by itself, but following the glyph metrics and in some fonts the font height. I guess it would be better to use \XeTeXuseglyphmetrics=1. Best, Pablo

negative indenting
by Pablo Rodríguez 16 Nov '06

16 Nov '06

Hi there, I have set \setupindenting[yes,big,first] and I would like to have all paragraphs in a given document with negative indentation. AFAIK, "first" should enable indentation for all paragraphs, but the ones after \section, \subsection or \subsubtsection are not indented. How can I make that the indenting would be negative, that is, that is not the first line the one indented, but the other ones. Thanks, Pablo

Header number separator
by Jeff Smith 16 Nov '06

16 Nov '06

Hi, Some time ago I had a query on the list about roman numbering in headers. Once I got my answer, I asked something else relatively unrelated but in the same thread. It's probably bad etiquette, so I figure that is why it has remained unheeded. I'd like to submit my second query again. I have a problem with the separator in header numbers. I want to use a different separator between chapter and section numbers (-), than between section and subsection numbers (.). So, assuming I'm using roman numerals for chapters, I'd like numering of sections to be I-1, I-2, I-3, etc., of subsections to be I-1.1, I-1.2, I-2.1, I-2.2, I-2.3, etc. Now when I use \setuphead for section and subsection blocks with different [separator=] attributes: \setuphead[section][separator=-] \setuphead[subsection][separator=.] ... it defines the separator for the _whole_ header level, not the number position within any relevant header. So I get this instead: sections are numbered I-1, I-2, I-3, etc. subsections are numbered I.1.1, 1.1.2, I.2.1, I.2.2, I.2.3, etc. Is there a way to achieve what I want to do? Thanks! Jeff

How to get a PhD with ConTeXt (+ hard work ;) )

Hi all, Maybe some of yours (from the ConTeXt POV) can be interested by my PhD dissertation and my presentation (both in french)... http://www.nibua-r.org/ConTeXt/PhD/ The slides are made to work under linux with sh script to run mplayer or custom simulations... These scripts will obviously not work without the movies or my simulator binaries... Renaud

Further questions about linenotes
by Thomas A. Schmitz 15 Nov '06

15 Nov '06

Hi all, further experiments with linenotes have brought up two further questions; one specific, one general. Here comes: 1. Is it possible to have linenumbering automatically reset its numbering to 1 at the top of every page? I have a dim recollection that something along these lines was asked on the list recently, but can't find anything in the archive. 2. General: I had to experiment quite a bit with the before= and after= keys of \setupnote to make them really do what I wanted. Here's what I found: a. before=\blank[1cm] % texexec will fail with an error b. before={\blank[1cm]} % does nothing c. \def\myblank{\blank[1cm] before=\myblank % works I guess it has something to do with TeX's expansion mechanism, but I found it confusing, and I think (hope?) that others will find it a bit confusing too. Is this intentional, can it be made easier for users? All best Thomas

hanging indentation

Hi there, after some hours trying to figure out how to have hanging indentation for the different requirements of three documents, I'd would like to know how to set hanging indentation for standard paragraphs without having to use \star..\stop routines. I guess that \setupindenting would be the way, but I don't know how to do it. Thanks for your help, Pablo

French spacing and pdfTeX-1.40

beta: bug with transparent colors in fields
by Peter Rolf 14 Nov '06

14 Nov '06

Hi Hans, the support of transparent colors in fields seems to be broken (beta 03.11.06). The attached example works with a non transparent backgroundcolor, but breaks with a transparent one. Same behaviour on ConTeXt Live. \definecolor [notebackgroundcolor] % [s=.85] [s=1,a=1,t=.9] There is another problem with field activation (not in this example). When the doc opens, the fields (region in/out) are kind of inactive. Normally a tooltip note is shown/hidden, if the area is entered/left. Only after "activating" the fields by pressing "R" and "H" in Acrobat, they become alive. After that they work as expected. I am still working on a minimal example for this case. Greetings, Peter \setupoutput[pdf] \setuppapersize[S6][S6] \startJSpreamble {Notes} used now var lastNote = "" ; function Show_Note ( Name ) { if (Name != lastNote) { Hide_Note () ; var v = this.getField(Name) ; if (v) { console.println("Show Note: " + Name) ; v.display = display.visible ; v.readonly = false ; % v.richText = true ; % v.multiline = true ; % v.lineWidth = 3 ; % v.rect = [0, 0, 200, 150] ; this.dirty = false ; lastNote = Name } } else {Hide_Note () ;} } function Hide_Note ( ) { if (lastNote != "") { var v = this.getField(lastNote) ; if (v) { console.println("Hide Note: " + lastNote) ; v.display = display.hidden ; v.readonly = true ; this.dirty = false } } lastNote = "" } function Set_Tooltip ( Name ) { if (Name != "") { var v= this.getField(Name) ; if (v) { v.userName="This may help..." ; } } } \stopJSpreamble \newcounter\AnotherNote \def\SomeNote#1#2% {\hbox {\doglobal\increment\AnotherNote \definesymbol[note:\AnotherNote:on][\WhatANote{#2}]% % \setupfield[notes][offset=overlay,frame=off,option={readonly,hidden}] % this confuses acrobat, probably some interference bug, I spent too much time on that \setupfield[notes][offset=overlay,frame=off,option={readonly,hidden},% % regionin=JS(Hide_Note), regionout=JS(Hide_Note), username={Test!}, % clickin=JS(Hide_Note), % clickout=JS(Hide_Note), ] \definefield[note:\AnotherNote][check][notes][note:\AnotherNote:on,note:\AnotherNote:on][note:\AnotherNote:on]% \doifreferencefoundelse{note:\AnotherNote} {\setlayer[notes][page=\currentrealreference]{\fitfield[note:\AnotherNote]}} {\setlayer[notes]{\fitfield[note:\AnotherNote]}}% \pagereference[note:\AnotherNote]\goto{#1}[JS(Show_Note{note:\AnotherNote})]}} \setupinteraction [state=start, openpageaction=JS(Hide_Note), closepageaction=JS(Hide_Note)] \definereference[CloseNote][JS(Hide_Note)] \setupfootertexts[{\goto{Close Note}[CloseNote]}][] \setupcolors [state=start] \definecolor [notebackgroundcolor] % [s=.85] [s=1,a=1,t=.9] \defineframedtext [WhatANote] [bodyfont=9pt, background=color, backgroundcolor=notebackgroundcolor, width=.4\textwidth, height=fit, align=normal] \definelayer [notes] [width=\paperwidth, height=\paperheight, preset=rightbottom, offset=1cm] \setupbackgrounds [page] [background={notes,foreground}] \starttext \startbuffer \input ward \SomeNote{[[ward]]} {\input ward \relax} \input ward \blank \input knuth \SomeNote{[[knuth]]} {\input knuth \relax} \input knuth \blank \input tufte \SomeNote{[[tufte]]} {\input tufte \relax} \input tufte \blank \input bryson \SomeNote{[[bryson]]}{\input bryson\relax} \input bryson \blank \stopbuffer \dorecurse{10}{\getbuffer} \stoptext

Avoiding page breaks in self-defined Note environment
by Martin Becker 14 Nov '06

14 Nov '06

Dear all, I'm having a problem with unwanted page breaks using ConTeXt. Imagine a note environment that is separated from normal text by horizontal rules: -------------------------- Note - Notice that this text is embedded in... -------------------------- The problem however is that ConTeXt sometimes breaks the page after the first rule or just before the second, which, as you can image, is pretty ugly. I have defined a command to avoid this: \def\MyHR{nobreak\hairline\nobreak } The tex file looks like this: \MyHR{} {\bf{Note --}} Notice that this text is embedded in... \MyHR{} However, this does not work. The background is that I am using a parser to translate MediaWiki markup to PDF using ConTeXt. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Martin Becker

combining multiple accents
by Mojca Miklavec 14 Nov '06

14 Nov '06

Hello, I always thought that "any accent can be placed on any character" in TeX. However, probably due to some boxes, this fails to work sometimes. So how can I create "a with cedilla and ring above" for example: \r{\c a}? (Yes, I know that I can switch the order: \c{\r a} works as expected, but I need to create more complicated cases in general and I don't want to depend on whether the accent will be placed properly or not.) Is there any simple cure for that? Thanks a lot, Mojca

Meeting NTG saturday 18 november 2006
by Willi Egger 13 Nov '06

13 Nov '06

Dear list user, The Dutch TeX users group organizes a meeting on saturday 18 november. Location: Highschool Helicon, Zeist, The Netherlands. Theme: "The next generation TeX - a glance on the future" At the this moment active development takes place for the successor of pdfTeX. During next year this engine will be dirstributed. Next to this, steps are undertaken to improve the integration of the graphical possibilities of Metapost.in TeX. A bunch of new fonts are in the pipeline which can replace existing (free) font-collections: extended, improved, OTF versions. There are different initiatives for enhancing TeX and related programs e.g. giving them a more modern, up-to-date interface. Further one can see, that TeX is moving form the front-end into the background, so that users do not even know that the final work is performed with TeX. The mentioned aspects will be discussed and presented during the upcoming NTG-meeting. The NTG would like to invite you to join us. Global programme: 09 :30 arrival 10:00 opening, presentations/discussion 11:15 coffee break 11:45 presentations/discussion 12:45-13.30 lunch 13:30 presentations/discussion 15:00 Thea break 15:30 presentations/discussion 16:30 closing 17:30 Diner in one of the restaurants in Zeist Issues to be presented: luatex: development of the next generation pdfTeX opentype: the first three delivered replacement fonts from the polish "foundry" metapost: on its way to full integration into TeX epspdfgui: Good-bye to obscure commandline programs processing in the background ...: how Tex moves behind the scene pgf: replacement of macros containing graphics TeXlive: the in's en out's of preparing a distribution Description of the location and how to get there: http://www.hhelicon.nl/index2.html If you would like to join in, please send an e-mail to the NTG secretary: ntg-secretaris(a)ntg.nl Kind regards Willi Egger Secretary NTG

texfont create map file
by Johan Sandblom 13 Nov '06

I am now using the Debian context package with Debian texlive. It works very well but some fonts need tweaking. For instance, Zapf Chancery is in ~$ find /usr/share/texmf-texlive -name '*uzcmi8a*' /usr/share/texmf-texlive/fonts/afm/urw/zapfchan/uzcmi8a.afm /usr/share/texmf-texlive/fonts/type1/urw/zapfchan/uzcmi8a.pfb /usr/share/texmf-texlive/fonts/type1/urw/zapfchan/uzcmi8a.pfm but there are no .tfm or .vf and no map file, so my typescripts do not work.

XeTeX, ConTeXt and PDF
by Pablo Rodríguez 13 Nov '06

13 Nov '06

Hi there, I'm using xdvipdfmx 0.3 and ConTeXt ver: 2006.11.06 09:10 MK II fmt: 2006.11.11 int: english/english. Papersize doesn't seem to work in \setuppapersize[A4,landscape]. Even if I use \pdfpageheight=21cm and \pdfpagewidth=29.7cm, I get a 29.7×29.7cm square as papersize. I think that the issues with XeTeX and papersize have been already solved. When producing bookmarks with XeConTeXt, for some strange reason destinations change the page view to /Fit. Is there any way to avoid this? Bookmarks are generated fine in UTF-8, but surprisingly (at least for me) the file info is wrong generated. Here you have an example: \enableregime[utf] \definetypeface[myfont][rm][Xserif][Junicode] \setupbodyfont[myfont,12pt] \setupinteraction[state=start,title={χαλεπὰ τὰ καλά}] \setupinteractionscreen[option=bookmark] \placebookmarks[chapter,section,subsection] \starttext \chapter{χαλεπὰ τὰ καλά} \stoptext By the way, could not "texmfstart texexec --xtx" invoke xdvipdfmx with the -E option enabled by default? Many fonts include the embedding restriction not forbid embedding, but to avoid font modification. Thanks for your help, Pablo

new to ConTeXt
by Pablo Rodríguez 12 Nov '06

12 Nov '06

Hi there, after more than five years using LaTeX (Lambda and XeLaTeX, this one for the last months), I have decided to give ConTeXt a try. LaTeX is fine for me: I have typeset my own dissertation in Philosophy (with ancient Greek and Unicode) and a couple of books. But the modular design makes things tricky at the end, and I would like to give ConTeXt (with XeTeX and LuaTeX when it comes) a try. At the same time, I would like to switch from TeX to XML. TeX is fine, but XML is better for other than typographical purposes. Coming from the humanities, I guess the right choice is TEI (P5 is expected to be released before middle of the following year). I had some experience with XML and Docbook some years ago, but that was before I switched to Linux and Docbook aims to technical documentation (and I'm not a technical guy). I guess I can mix ConTeXt and XML with the eXaMpLe framework (I have just read about it at wiki.contextgarden.net) In order to understand TEI and ConTeXt, I would like to be able to create the files that will be able to compile an TEI XML document with ConTeXt without having to convert it to ConTeXt. I would like to avoid XSL and XSL-FO. I guess it should be something similar DocbookInConTeXt, but I don't know whether it uses the eXaMplE framework (I don't even know whether . Could anyone comment on this topic? I mean, whether the described task could be achieved with ConTeXt, which issues may arise, whether this is the best approach to the issue, whether I miss something, and so on. Thanks for your help, Pablo

Hi, texexec has been doing the necessary BibTeX calls for some time now, but is there a way to configure which BibTeX engine is being called? I am using BibTeX 8 (because of Unicode in my bibliography) and have been renaming the executable so far, but it seems there should be a better way. (Incidentally, I've been using a Python script to convert BibTeX files between Unicode and {\=a}-style accent notation and am currently thinking of putting in ConTeXt {\adiaeresis}-style accents as well; would this be of interest to anyone?)

Font installation
by Antoine Junod 08 Nov '06

08 Nov '06

Hello list, I'm trying to install new fonts in my texmf tree but at each try I stop at the same point, when compiling my test file: (./type-doulos.tex) ! Font \*doulos12ptrmtfrm*:=DoulosSil at 12.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found. I've got this problem not only with doulos but with gfs fonts too, and others. Font installation in the texmf tree with texfont works well. I can compile without any problem the texnansi-sil-doulos.tex file (idem with other files). What am I doing wrong? Here is my minimal type-doulos.tex: % type-doulos.tex \starttypescript [map] [texnansi] \loadmapfile[texnansi-sil-doulos] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [doulos] [texnansi] \definefontsynonym[DoulosSIL][texnansi-DoulosSILR][encoding=texnansi] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [doulos] [name] \definefontsynonym[Serif] [DoulosSil] \stoptypescript And here is my minimal test file: \usetypescriptfile[type-doulos] \definetypeface[doulos][rm][serif][doulos][default][encoding=texnansi] \setupbodyfont[doulos,rm,10pt] \starttext This is the end, gggggnnnnnn \stoptext Thanks a lot for your reply. -AJ

character redefinition environment
by Enzo Cordes 06 Nov '06

06 Nov '06

Hi list, I want to assign Metapost graphics to single letters (in a newly defined evironment, that take care of these assignments). The purpose is being able to rapidly build huge tables containing lots of these symbols. Everything works fine if I assign these graphics to non-letters, e.g. "|", but somehow it doesn't work with normal letters. Here is what I tried (with a simple Foo instead of Metapost graphics): \definesymbol[foosymbol][{\tt Foo}] \def\startmychars{% \bgroup\catcode`\|=\active\def|{\symbol[foosymbol]}} \def\stopmychars{\egroup} This works with | as reassigned character without any problems. But, we want to have normal characters in the table, no punctuation marks, etc. Does anyone know what to do to reassign a special definition for a letter e.g. like uppercase B or else? I got this error: (/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/context/base/pdfr-ec.tex) ! Undefined control sequence. \startmychars ...up \catcode `\B=\active \defB {\symbol[foosymbol]} l.24 \startmychars which seems to indicate that B is not recognized as active character in the "\defB"? Any hints very welcome, Enzo.

using pgf/tikz and bib modules together
by M.J. Kallen 06 Nov '06

06 Nov '06

Apropos the bib module, ConTeXt users wishing to use both the pgf/tikz module (v1.10) and the bib module together, will (currently) have to use the CVS version of pgf because both modules clash with the use of the .aux file. The following was posted by the pgf developer Till Tantau on the pgf maillist: "it turns out that, indeed, the .aux writing of the bib module clashes with pgf's usage of the file of the same name. I renamed this stuff to .pgf and it works fine, now. You will need to get the current CVS of pgf since the change is not quite trivial. Alternatively, a quick-and-easy-fix is to find the file pgf/generic/ pgf/utilities/pgfutil-context.def and to delete the three lines having to do with .aux files at the beginning. Then picture remembering will not work (which it does in the CVS), but that may not be a top priority." I'm assuming the new bib module still uses the .aux file for the same purposes as before.

Compiling the magazines
by J. R. Capablanca 06 Nov '06

06 Nov '06

Hello everyone! I'm trying to get started with ConText. I've setup a stand alone install with perl and ruby on windows (last version). I was quite impressed with the "This way" magazine layout... and was trying to compile the example code that comes in the 000 edition. But the result is nothing like the original: all side texts are on wrong places, body text goes through the paper margins: a mess! Maybe some margins or papersize settings that are implicit and I don't have in my environment ? I'd be glad if somebody could give me some tips on this! The code is pasted below. Thanks in advance, JR - - - - - - - \usemodule[mag-01] \setvariables [magazine] [title={Introduction}, author=Hans Hagen, affiliation=PRAGMA ADE, date=Januari 2003, number=0] \startbuffer[abstract] This is the zero issue of a semi periodical. The associated style can be used by \CONTEXT\ users to typeset and publish their own issues. \stopbuffer \starttext \setups [titlepage] \setups [title] \setupheadertexts[welcome] This is the zero issue of a range of \CONTEXT\ related publications, in most cases short introductions to new functionality. The style may be used by users for providing similar documents, but preferably not for other purposes, since it may confuse readers in their expectations. We've chosen a layout which is more functional than beautiful. This layout provides several text areas: headers and footers, margins and edges as well as a main text area. The surrounding (gray) makes the main page (which is slightly smaller than A4) stand out and is suitable for viewing in spread mode. The documents produced at \PRAGMA\ are called {\bf This Way}, user documents gets the title {\bf My Way}. The \PRAGMA\ issues are numbered. We strongly advise you not to use the \type {mag-} prefix for your issues, since this may lead to clashes with files distributed by \PRAGMA. \setups [listing] \setups [lastpage] \stoptext

Unwanted space before a \HL in tables

bib and bibltx problems
by Matthias Wächter 05 Nov '06

05 Nov '06

Hi Taco, I ran into the following problems: 1. see attached files. Three bib entries with different authors, but the resulting references are the same for two of them (!). Appearantly, without sorting the bib entries, the extra label numbering does not work correctly. Changing \setupbibtex to "sort=short" fixes the issue (appending "a" and "b") as well does changing "ITERATE {presort.none}" to "ITERATE {presort.clabel}" in cont-no.bst. But is this a once-and-for-all fix? 2. see attached files. In \setuppublications, numbering is given as "short", but the resulting list of references is only as good as "yes" - I only get the numbers, not the short references in the list. Hmmm, what's the cause for this? Any ideas? Or is it My Fault(TM)? 3. In general: If I'd use bib handwriting \{start,stop}publication without bibltx, would I have to care about the uniqueness of the "short" document names (the "s=" option to \startpublication)? Really? Considering hundreds of possible bibliography entries, this would double the effort: Not only the key (the "k=" option) but also the short name must be unique for correct references. 4. Sometimes, the build process ("texexec --pdf test") breaks after changing some text in the bibliography. Appearantly, sometimes the .bbl file is not updated. removing the .bbl file fixes the build. No recipy available, sorry. Thanks, - Matthias \usemodule[bib] \usemodule[bibltx] \setupbibtex[database=mybibs,sort=no] \setuppublications[refcommand=short,numbering=short] \starttext For all times, \cite[TRUE] is right and \cite[FALSE] is wrong. \completepublications \stoptext @techreport{TRUE, Title = "True Values", Author = "True Author", Year = "2005", } @techreport{GNUS, Title = "Gnus in the Wild", Author = "Another Doctor", Year = "2005", } @techreport{FALSE, Title = "False values", Author = "False Author", Year = "2005", }

bookmarks using linebreaks in chapter titles
by Sanjoy Mahajan 03 Nov '06

03 Nov '06

I was trying out line breaks for long titles (at least, long when set in 36 or 48pt text), as well as have pdf bookmarks, so I defined a \1 shorthand local to the chapter heading: ====================================================================== \setupinteraction[state=start] \placebookmarks[chapter] \setupinteractionscreen[option=bookmark] \setuphead[chapter][before={\bgroup\def\1{\hfil\break}}, after={\egroup}] \starttext \chapter{Long\1 title} hello \stoptext ====================================================================== If I inline the \1, as in \chapter{Long\hfil\break title}, then it's mostly fine except that the bookmark has "hfil penalty ..." Is there's another way to avoid that problem? Perhaps a magic option that says what the bookmark should be, the way one can tell \index what to typeset in the index when it is different from the inline text. One solution is to forbid hyphens during the \chapter (with before= and after= definitions) and also shrink the \hsize enough so that tex line breaks where I want, but that method requires unintuitive, fontsize-dependent dimension guessing for each chapter. Putting in line breaks by hand is not too bad. Plus one might want to break the lines according to meaning, which does not always produce the same results as where breaks would go according to line length. But meanwhile trying the hack method above, I get this error (./q.tuo) (./q.tuo) ! Undefined control sequence. <argument> Long\1 title \sanitizePDFdocencoding ...docencoding \edef #2{#1 } \doPDFinsertbookmark ...oding #3\to \bookmarktext \stripstring \bookmarktext.. \doplacebookmarks ...okmarkelement \flushbookmark \egroup \else \expanded {\.. <to be read again> \setupinteractionscreen l.3 \setupinteractionscreen [option=bookmark] It's from this line in q.tuo \listentry{chapter}{1}{1}{Long\1 title}{2--0-1-0-0-0-0-0--1}{1} and the \1 is not defined during \listentry, only during the \chapter. I didn't have a problem when the same code was part of a product (each component being chapter in a book, with the \setuphead in an environment file) -- only had it when I compiled one component, which is how I got to the test case above.

Splitting a float that isn't a table

overlay page background missing
by Paul Jones 03 Nov '06

03 Nov '06

Hello all, I am trying to put together a wedding book. I would like a nice watermark behind the text on each page. Left page containing the word 'together', and right page containing the word 'forever'. I can get this done with an overlay, but it is always centered in the page. So after reading some threads about layers in overlays I thought this might work. Putting a layer into an overlay does give me the ability to positiong the words, but I can no longer get them to show up on all of the pages. Am I doing this in a resonable way? Why did the setupbackgrounds stop working when I put the layer into the overlay?

feedback on the wiki Linux_User_Installation article
by Antoine Junod 03 Nov '06

03 Nov '06

Hello list, I'm trying to make a fresh minimal install following the wiki article 'Linux User Installation'. All goes fine till the 'texexec --make --alone' command. It says me 'the file 'texexec.rb' is not found'. I can copy it in the texmf-linux/bin directory but it trigs other errors. I can correct that error by recursively copying all the files of the texmf-local/scripts/context/ruby/ directory into the texmf-linux/bin/ one. Should I update the wiki with that information or is it a problem tied to my system, or maybe a problem of the minimal context distribution/binaries files? Thanks for your replies. -AJ

new beta / mp
by Hans Hagen 03 Nov '06

03 Nov '06

Hi, I uploaded a new beta release. This one has support for some fresh metapost features (mpprocsets). This means that mp inclusion is slightly faster in mkii (some 5-10%) and that the (not yet public) mkiv converter is now faster than the mkii one (some 10%) due to the cleaner mp output code. Around 20/11 we need to go current because of the tex live code freeze which means that serious bugs need to be fixed before that time.

formula, bookmarks and misc
by Sebastian Rooks 03 Nov '06

03 Nov '06

Dear ConTeXters, 1/ I would like to use a named formula with a reference containing several subformulae each with a reference. The closer I can get to is to add an empty namedformula followed by subformulae (see test file below). How can I get rid of the empty line with a number in the pdf ? 2/ I'm using bookmarks but abbreviations in heads do not work properly. I've used a workaround some 3 years ago but I cannot remember which. Any suggestion ? (see test file below) 3/ What should I do to get the bookmarks numbered with their chapter/section/ etc. number ? (see test file below) 4/ How can I redefine the \vec command in my formulae without having a warning "system : command \vec is already defined" 5/ I do like a lot the minimum distribution so easy to install. It would be even better if bibtex can be added. It's only 82.8 KiB Thanks for ConTeXt (special thanks to Hans and Taco of course), it's really a pleasure to work with it.

Forcing XeTeX output
by Philipp Reichmuth 02 Nov '06

02 Nov '06

Hi, is there a first-line comment directive or a \setupoutput[] parameter to force usage of XeTeX just like the --xtx commandline switch? Consider the following document: ---------------------- % ??? = xetex??? \starttext This is a piece of text \stoptext ---------------------- I just experimentally tried "engine=xetex", "tex=xetex" and "output=xetex" on the first line. The first two actually launch XeTeX, but they bail out with the comment "you should use pdfetex instad" and a \wait command, and the last one runs pdfetex instead and produces a DVI file. Philipp

XeTeX and built-in glyph generation
by Philipp Reichmuth 02 Nov '06

02 Nov '06

Hi, I have a question regarding ConTeXt, XeTeX and the use of Unicode fonts with diacritic characters which I use quite a lot. (Note also that I'm a novice user.) Consider the following extreme example (using Gentium <http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=gentium>): ------------------- \definetypeface[lucida][rm][Xserif][Lucida Bright] \definetypeface[gentium][rm][Xserif][Gentium] \setupbodyfont[gentium] \starttext Ṯḥíş ıš ā pìėçẹ ȯf ṭēxt. \stoptext ------------------- If you typeset this with 'texexec --xtx', you get very different results with Gentium vis-a-vis Lucida because of the different glyph repertoires of both fonts. This is a bit unsatisfactory because ConTeXt has all the logic already in place to construct most of these these from base characters plus accents where needed. Of course I can go through my Unicode text manually and change all the missing characters to something like \={e}, but that is not a good solution either; having to sift through your entire document because your publisher demands a different font makes you feel more than a bit stupid :) Is there a way to tell ConTeXt what Unicode characters are available in a font and which ones it has to build using TeX's accent functions? I guess in the above example it would be difficult because no regime gets loaded at all. What would be ideal in my case would be a configurable UTF-8 regime where I could specify the following on a per-typeface basis: - character[ range]s which get passed directly to the underlying engine (useful mainly with XeTeX and possibly with Aleph/Omega) - character[ range]s which get constructed from accents - character[ range]s which get used from a different typescript; for example if I have passages or quotations in a script which isn't available in my typescript, it would be nice to say that "all IPA/Greek/Old Church Slavonic" should come from a substitution typescript where these scripts are available and look good. Is such a thing possible? Philipp
