Snapping sectionhead
by wwl＠musensturm.de 13 Aug '06

13 Aug '06

Hallo! While I was reading 'In the Details' to learn more about grid- typesetting, I could not comprehend the examples with grid={broad,...}. Then in section 1.8 I read that grid=line should be a shortcut for grid={broad,high,depth}. But these two variants gave me not the same result! Try \setuplayout[grid=yes] \definehead[Demo][section] \setuphead[Demo][style=\bfb, before=\blank, after=\blank, grid={broad,high,depth}] %\setuphead[Demo][style=\bfb,before=\blank,after=\blank,grid=line] \showgrid \starttext \Demo{Agathe} Bla blubber \stoptext Hmm!

\namedglyph (was: [XeTeX] \XeTeXglyphindex: just a short note)
by Mojca Miklavec 12 Aug '06

12 Aug '06

Hello, Some time ago Jonathan implemented a new \XeTeXglyphindex command to retrieve the glyph from current font by name (it currently only works for OpenType, but that's the most important). \getglyph is already taken, I used it in the example below just because I didn't think of a better name. Would it name sense to provide a \namedglyph macro in ConTeXt for XeTeX users as well? (Hopefully the feature will be available in pdfTeX as well ;) I don't mind if LaTeX & ConTeXt use the same syntax every now and then ;) (In the future: It might make sense to provide an optional field to retrieve a glyph from any font, not just from the current one, but I'm not sure about what the exact interface should be and if it would be optional it can be added later anyway.) Any thoughts?

doublesided
by Horacio Suarez 12 Aug '06

IŽm using context on slackware 10.2, I donŽt have a command "context". IŽm using "texexec". ItŽs the same? Now, texexec ignores some comands: \setuppapersize[a5][a4] \setuplayout[location=middle, marking=on] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] Are they incomplete? some aditional command is needed?

Font Question: Specific font sizes not working.
by David Wooten 11 Aug '06

11 Aug '06

Greetings all, In the last week or so I started having a problem with fonts: what once worked stopped doing so, giving me the default font rather than my chosen fonts. I finally figured out that it is only certain sizes that are not working. For example, with: \usetypescriptfile[jensonpro] \usetypescript[jenson] \switchtobodyfont[jenson,11pt] \starttext Testing. \stoptext "\switchtododyfont" sizes 8pt, 10pt, 11pt, 13pt all still work, while 9pt and 12pt no longer do so... I recently updated ConTeXt and it remains the same. No change was made to my typescript files, and indeed in \definebodyfont those sizes are definitely listed: \starttypescript [serif] [Opticals] [size] \definebodyfont [13pt,12pt,11pt,10pt,9pt,8pt][rm] ... \stoptypescript Any clues? Kind regards, David

Hello. IŽm new in this list and using Context. I make books for a small edit shop in Buenos Aires, Argentina specialized in Antropology. I used to work with Ventura publisher in windows, then I decided to use linux/latex, and after a few books using latex, iŽm trying to use Context because I think itŽs better. Anyway, itŽs dificult for me. Now, I need help in this: In latex, I use this command: \renewcommand{\contentsname}{Índice} .... \renewcommand{\chapter}{Capitulo} to obtain the names of the parts of the book in spanish. I only need in spanish Bobliography and Índice (Content). How can I obtain the same in Context? Thankyou very mach. _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

starttextrule different from manual
by Hans van der Meer 11 Aug '06

11 Aug '06

The manual says (p.204): \starttextrule[.1.]{.2.}...\stoptextrule .1. top bottom .2. text But parameter [.1.] is not picked up and the code in core-rul.tex is: \def\starttextrule#1% instead of the expected \def\starttexrule{\dosingleargument \dostarttextrule} etc. Is this a deliberate change from the manual, so that I can cross out the parameter [.1.] there, or something else?

texfont produces faked ligatures with ec encoding
by Andreas Schneider 11 Aug '06

11 Aug '06

Hi, with the ec encoding, texfont produces faked ligatures, although the font has real fi and fl ligatures. With the texnansi encoding and the same commands, the ligatures are ok. (I checked this by compiling a simple sample file, just changing \setupencoding[default=ec] to \setupencoding[default=texnansi].) The font I'm trying to install is Bitstream Elegant Garamond (bgj) which I have got from a CorelDraw CD. I used the following commands to install the font (note that the fontroot is set because I create a Debian package): mkdir -p debian/font-elegantgaramond/usr/share/texmf texfont --fontroot=debian/font-elegantgaramond/usr/share/texmf --vendor=bitstrea --collection=eleggar --encoding=texnansi --makepath --install TeXFont 2.2.1 -

how to figure out the number of elements inside \defineconversion?
by Mojca Miklavec 10 Aug '06

10 Aug '06

Hello, I would like to \defineconversion and the use that set of symbols inside a metapost graphic. But I need to know the number of symbols, so that I can define enough "metapost images with symbols" in advance. I realise that there might be a problem since conversion can sometimes take an arbitrary number (using a command defined elsewhere), but if I could have a reasonable guess for conversions defined explicitely, that would already help a lot. (As a workaround and/or if there is no easy method to figure that out I can still hardcode "25" and wait until someone complains that that is not enough to satisfy his/her needs.) Thanks a lot, Mojca \startMPextensions numeric variant; variant = 1; vardef gp_the_symbol(expr n) = picture pict; % using metapost if variant=1: pict := image( fill fullcircle scaled 4pt; ); % TODO % using TeX, variant = 2 else: % TODO: limit the number first pict := sometxt(n); fi; pict shifted -center pict enddef ; def gp_point(expr x, y, n) = draw (gp_the_symbol(n) scaled 1 shifted (x,y)); enddef ; \stopMPextensions \starttext \defineconversion[abc][$\star$,$\bullet$,$\ast$] \startTeXtexts % TODO: 6 is only a guess: I need a better guess (3 in this case) \dostepwiserecurse{1}{6}{1}{\TeXtext{\recurselevel}{{\convertnumber{abc}{\recurselevel}}}} \stopTeXtexts \startMPcode variant := 1; gp_point(1cm,0cm,1); gp_point(2cm,0cm,2); variant := 2; gp_point(1cm,1cm,1); gp_point(2cm,1cm,2); gp_point(3cm,1cm,3); gp_point(4cm,1cm,4); gp_point(5cm,1cm,8); \stopMPcode \stoptext

Problem with external graphics
by The Wizard 10 Aug '06

10 Aug '06

All - I am experiencing some strange behavior with external graphics. I use one file to setup all the graphics for later inclusion. All that is in the file is a bunch of "\useexternalgraphics" statements, so I can reference the graphics by name later. The problem comes when I try to use "\placefigure" instead of "\externalfigure". Here is an example: Figure setup: \useexternalfigure[Figure 1][Figure1][scale=520,type=pdf,factr=broad] % This sets up the file 'Figure1.pdf' for later inclusion If I then reference it using \externalfigure[Figure 1] the figure is included at the spot following the text, and fits on the remainder of the page, which is what I want. But if I try to add a caption to it by using \placefigure [force][] {} {\externalfigure[Figure 1][Figure 1]} the figure gets the caption, but always is placed on the top of the following page.

completecontent, completeindex
by David Arnold 10 Aug '06

All, If you use \completecontent or \completeindex, how do you manipulate the heads of these constructs? Can I change the text of the header, Contents to Table of Contents? Can I change the color? Can I change the font size and style? Can I suppress the headertext? Somewhat like \setuphead[chapter] [header=high]? Can I do other stuff I normally do with heads? Can I flush the head to the right edge of the page?

How to align graphics at text edge?
by The Wizard 09 Aug '06

09 Aug '06

All - Thanks to some help from Hans, I have a very clean setup which creates a "standard" cover for my project documents. It has a long colored swirl the length of the page, two logos (mine and the customers') and a title. The code looks like this \startsetups[titlepage] \setuplayout[page] \startstandardmakeup \setlayer[page] [preset=lefttop] {\externalfigure[wp_cover_art_blue.pdf][height=\paperheight]} \setlayer[page] [preset=righttop,y=.01\paperheight,x=.01\paperwidth] {\externalfigure[customer-logo.pdf][height=.1\paperheight]} \setlayer[page] [preset=righttop,y=.08\paperheight,x=.01\paperwidth] {\externalfigure[my_logo_blk.pdf][height=.1\paperheight]} \setlayer[page][preset=middle] {\definedfont[SansBold at 22pt]\color[sunblue]\setupinterlinespace \framed[align=flushleft,frame=off]{\getvariable{document}{title}}} \tightlayer[page] \stopstandardmakeup \setuplayout \setuppagenumber[number=2] \doifmodeelse{twosided} { \setuppagenumbering[conversion=romannumerals,alternative=doublesided, location=,state=start] } { \setuppagenumbering[conversion=romannumerals,alternative=singlesided, location=,state=start] } \doifmode{twosided} {\page[yes,right]} \stopsetups and is invoked in the document as \setups[titlepage] Now, I am trying to figure out how to get the two logo graphics to align to the right edge of the printable page, but I can't seem to find the right "key" to the \externalfigure call. I have looked at the wiki, and through the manuals, but I don't seem to be able to find what I want.

t-lilypond: no longer needs eps step?
by David Wooten 09 Aug '06

Greetings, I've just noticed that in the development branch change log [1] of LilyPond (2.9) the following notice has been posted about the LaTeX module lilypond-book: "lilypond-book now includes support for PDFTeX." I'm curious as to whether that means "Generating a pdf directly always creates a whole page, so we generate eps first." might no longer be necessary?

Column problem
by David Arnold 09 Aug '06

09 Aug '06

Hans et al, In making the final pass at our book, I have a problem with the \column command. In trying to start a new column to avoid a widow, I put a \column command at the end of the first of two columns on a page. The result is I get a start of a new column, but it is on a new page. Thus, page 1 has 1 column, the second column is blank, and the rest continues on page 2 in two column format! Help!

environment files and indenting
by Sanjoy Mahajan 08 Aug '06

08 Aug '06

Not sure what I'm doing wrong here, but this is the minimal example I could make. The environment file ne.tex contains \startenvironment ne \setupindenting[medium,yes] \stopenvironment And the test file is \environment ne \starttext \placeformula\startformula x = 10 \stopformula \stoptext texexec'ing test.tex says: Overfull \hbox (17.62474pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 4--4 [][] But if I inline the environment file, to get \startenvironment ne \setupindenting[medium,yes] \stopenvironment \starttext \placeformula\startformula x = 10 \stopformula \stoptext then texexec doesn't produce any overfull \hbox. My guess is that the 17.6247pt overage is the amount of medium indenting, and somehow the display math mode is getting confused and trying to indent itself? -Sanjoy

safe way of writing arguments
by Jano Kula 08 Aug '06

08 Aug '06

Hi! Is it safe to leave spare comma at the end of the key=value list or other list of arguments? It is not nice, but when adding/commenting arguments in readable way (one per line) it's faster and while experimenting with parameters one doesn't have to care about the last comma adding or removing it back and forth, for example: \setuplayout[ grid=yes, %header=0mm, footer=7mm, %footerdistance=10mm, %cutspace=12mm, ] or \setuphead[ chapter, section, %subsection, %subsubsection, ][ textstyle=\ss, numberstyle=\ss, ] Thanks.

buffers
by Hans van der Meer 08 Aug '06

08 Aug '06

The ConTeXt manual tells me on page 237: You can define your own buffer with: \definebuffer[...] ... name After this command /getbuffer and \typebuffer are available where buffer is the name of the buffer. I do: \definebuffer[left] \startbuffer[left] left\crlf \stopbuffer \typeleft and it gives me the error: ! Undefined control sequence. \typeleft ->\dodotypebuffer [left][def-3] l.92 \typeleft then I try: \typebuffer[left] this gives a typeset message [file examdoc-def-2.tmp does not exist] (file examdoc.tex being the containing tex file) when I try \getbuffer[left] or \getleft nothing at all seems to happen? Why doesn't it work according to the manual? Or do I misunderstand the manual completely? Hans van der Meer

counting the words in a TeX document
by Mojca Miklavec 08 Aug '06

08 Aug '06

Hello, I would like to ask how difficult it would be to count the number of words in a TeX/ConTeXt document. If it's too complex, please ignore the rest of the message. Most recipes for LaTeX say that it's best to do something like "pdftotext" and then issue "wc" to count the words in the resulting text file, but windows users don't have "wc" and sometimes you only need to know the length of the abstract or so ... Some time ago Hans mentioned that he counts the number of appearance of single charactres, but I don't know how difficult it would be to extend it to count the number of words. The problem is not that well defined (how to handle equations, some would probably want to exclude headers, footers, buttons, ...), but it only needs to be an approximation and "backward compatibility" (in the sense that counter would have to result in the same number after some years) is not needed at all since algorithms might improve with time and the resulting document doesn't really depend on that number, it would only be written to the log file. My idea for the interface would be something like \startwordcount[abstract] \startframedtext Bla bla. \stopframedtext \stopwordcount which would write something like "abstract: 2 words" to the log file or \startstatistics[abstract][words] \startframedtext Bla bla. \stopframedtext \stopstatistics But this is really a low priority. I'm currently using Acrobat to copy the text, then I paste it into Office and take a look at statistics there when I need to obey some limitations. So, if there's a simple solution, I would be glad to use it, but if it takes too much time to implement it, it's probably not worth the effort. Thanks a lot, Mojca

custom itemize
by Renaud AUBIN 07 Aug '06

07 Aug '06

Hi all, Some times ago, Taco helps me to define a custom itemize: \setbox0=\hbox{--~} \def\indenteddash#1{\hskip\parindent--~} \definesymbol[indentdash][\indenteddash] \setupitemize[each][indentdash,packed,joinedup,intext][indentnext=yes,width=\dimexpr \parindent + \wd0 \relax] The result of, for example: \startitemize \item first paragraph ... with a lot of text (multiline), \item second paragraph ... with a lot of text (multiline). \stopitemize is: -- first paragraph .. .... with a lot of text (multiline), -- second paragraph .. .... with a lot of text (multiline). Now, I would a new custom itemize with numbered items: 1. first paragraph .. .... with a lot of text (multiline), 2. second paragraph .. .... with a lot of text (multiline). How to do that ? TIA Renaud

indenting after section headings with before, after keyvals
by Sanjoy Mahajan 07 Aug '06

07 Aug '06

The text after section headings is normally not indented, even if \setupindenting[yes] is given -- which looks good and was a pain to get right in my plain TeX days. But the "don't indent that" code seems to get confused if before= and after= values are given in the heading setup. Below is a minimal example (using context 2006.07.24 10:49) showing that the 'before' hairline is indented, and the "Indented?" text after the 'after' hairline is indented. All is fine without the \setupindenting or the \setuphead line. Is there an easy fix that I missed? I tried throwing in \noindent into the before or after keys but no luck. \setuphead[section][before={\hairline\blank},after={\nowhitespace\hairline}] \setupindenting[medium,yes] \starttext \section{First} Indented? \stoptext

adding an icon (flushed left) in a displayed formula with equation number
by David Arnold 07 Aug '06

07 Aug '06

All, We have: \placeformula[eq:commonb] \startformula (1)^2+(\sqrt{4x+13})^2=(2x)^2, \stopformula This gives us a centered equation with an number pushed to the right edge of the page (I probably should say text area). What we'd like to do, just in this one example (not globally), is add a little "smiley face" icon on the same line as the displayed equation and equation number, but pushed to the left edge of the page (I probably should say text area). Possible?

visualising evolution from one version to another

Hello, if you know a bit MS-Word, then you have seen perhaps the feature, that permits visualising differences between 2 versions of a document: added text in red, and deleted text stroke out. I would like to make something similar with ConTeXt: making a pdf-file from doc-versionX.tex and doc-versionY.tex with added text in some colour and deleted text displayed with \overstrikes{}. Do you have some ideas, how to do that? Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

Hi all, I use lucida for a document and now I need some bold math fonts so I have followed the instructions given in "This Way - Mixed Normal and Bold Math". The resulting test file is: \starttext \usetypescript[lucida] [texnansi] \usetypescript[lucidabfm] [texnansi] \usetypescript[lucidaboldmath][texnansi] \setupformulas[method=bold] \startformula[lucida] 1 \Gamma \alpha x \stopformula \startformula[lucida] 1 \Gamma {\bfm \alpha x} \stopformula \startformula[lucidaboldmath] 1 \Gamma \alpha x \stopformula \startformula[lucidaboldmath] 1 \Gamma {\bfm \alpha x} \stopformula \stoptext I have installed lucida with texfont and added some .tfm (lucida.zip from Hans).

I'm CC-ing this checklist about making new (Russian) hyphenation patterns work to the mailing list (also because a while ago I didn't manage to make them work either). Arkady Shraer wrote: > Yes, I replaced files from previous mail. While texexec --make --all I > saw, that lang-ru.* processed by ConTeXt.

OK, so once more a checklist for you. From the fact that you're a gmail user too I can imagine that you also got the files "garbled" just as I did (I mean: written inline instead of getting attachments unless you downloaded your mail with some program): 0. not necessary [texmfstart] ctxtools --update (although I had problems downloading the latest beta) 1. check if all the files are OK: - tex/context/patterns/lang-ru.hyp - tex/context/patterns/lang-ru.pat - new version of tex/context/base/lang-ctx.tex, has to include: \installlanguage [\s!ru] [\s!mapping=t2a,\s!encoding=t2a] (If you didn't get the files right, get them from a temporary location http://pub.mojca.org/tex/russian/lang-ru.zip) 2. I don't know when this is needed and when not, but it might be that you have to copy cont-usr.ori to cont-usr.tex and uncomment the following line: \installlanguage [\s!ru] [\c!state=\v!start] % russian (before I did that I couldn't make the Slovenian hyphenation work) 3. run mktexlsr (or I-forgot-the-synonym/other-command-if-this-doesn't-work) 4. [texmfstart] texexec --make --all > after "texmfstart texexec --make --all" I have > ConTeXt ver: 2006.07.24 10:49 fmt: 2006.7.27 int: english mes: english > Is it right? It's surely better than in one of the posts that you sent before this one ;) "fmt:" has to bear the date when you ran "texmfstart texexec --make --all". If that is older, the format file wasn't written to the right place. You seem to use Ubuntu. I don't know how things are configured there, but I had numerous problems under MikTeX. The reason was that "texexec --make --all" didn't have any influence there since a whole lot of environmental variables were missing (the standalone distribution doesn't have those problems). In general I would suggest you to put the content of scripts/context/stubs/unix to some "visible place", so that "texexec" will execute "texmfstart texexec", you can surely google a bit for it, there was also a discussion about installation on Ubuntu recently on the mailing list. 5. Here's what I did to get antykwa torunska (if you don't have it you can download it from here: http://www.janusz.nowacki.strefa.pl/torunska-e.html) \enableregime[utf] \mainlanguage[ru] \definetypeface [russian] [rm] [serif] [antykwa-torunska] [default] [encoding=t2a] \setupbodyfont[russian] (for computer modern it should be similar, but you need more than one line to set it properly; however if you managed to make it work already, your old file should already be OK) I hope that you'll find some hint in this, Mojca
