Setting up items...
by Otared KAVIAN 21 Nov '05

21 Nov '05

HI all, I have a rather long sequence of items in which each one is numbered with a right stopper, a right parenthesis. Items numbered from 1) to 9) are correctly aligned and what I want is to have items 10) to 12) (for instance) be aligned in the same way, that is: (9) item number 9. (10) item number 10. (11) item number 11. (12) item number 12. in other words numbers above 10 should protrude to the left, not to the right (see the minimal example below). I am sure at some point in the past I solved this issue but I cannot find anymore how... Can anyone give insight? Another, secondary question, is: how can I make the items be numbered like: (1) item one (2) item two that is numbers are enclosed between parentheses? Thanks a lot in advance: OK %% item-sample.tex \defineconversion[exercise][\numbers] \starttext \startitemize[exercise][style=bold,stopper=)] \dorecurse{12}{\item This is question number \recurselevel.} \stopitemize \stoptext

[BIB] nocite / criterium=all
by Giuseppe Bilotta 21 Nov '05

21 Nov '05

Small problem with bibtex. I have (in a document different from the one I mentioned before) \setupbibtex[database={mrabbrev,bilotta}] \setuppublications[alternative=ams,criterium=all] but when I do \placepublications[criterium=all] I get nothing. If I \cite[something], that something gets included. How am I supposed to place all the publications without citing anything? BTW, you may also want to introduce the \nocite command, which adds something to the publications list without actually citing it in the text. If you want, you can make it support the \nocite[*] syntax to hiddenly cite everything. -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta P.S. This is rather urgent ...

bibmodule
by Thomas A. Schmitz 21 Nov '05

21 Nov '05

Taco, I hardly dare bring this up, but the latest beta release of your module appears to break something that worked before: the wonderfule \cite[extras={}][key] doesn't work. When I have this: \cite[extras={.5}][hoekwater] I would expect, with my setup, [10.5] but instead, I get [hoekwater] in the typeset version. Sorry for bothering you again. Thanks and best Thomas

typesetting proofs
by debongnie＠math.ucl.ac.be 21 Nov '05

21 Nov '05

Dear ConTeXt users, i am trying to typeset correctly proofs in a document. I tried to use the following definition : \defineenumeration[preuve] [location=serried, headstyle=slanted, text=Preuve, number=no, after={\hfil\QED}] It's almost what i want, but there's a slight problem. The command after executes itself after a newline, so, the QED symbol is typeset at the line after the end of the proof. What i'd like to have is the qed symbol at the end of the last line of the proof. Any insight on how i can do that? Thanks

Re: Compiling stops with ...

21 Nov '05

Gerben, Taco, OK, I am using Gerben's Context Updated with a beta, so I think what's running is the context in texmf.local. I have two type-tmf.dat. lm $ locate type-tmf.dat /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/context/data/type-tmf.dat /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/context/data/type-tmf.dat lm $ Does it matter which of these I use? Before I run "texfont --encoding=texnansi --batch type-tmf.dat," two things: 1. How do I figure out whether to set TEXMFMAIN or TEXMFDIST? That is, how can I tell where these environment variables point? 2. I could cut and paste in type-tmf.dat, but can I do it with one line in the file type-tmf.dat somehow? What would be the line I would add near the top of the file? On Nov 20, 2005, at 12:17 AM, Taco Hoekwater wrote: > > Hi David, > > Gerben Wierda wrote: > >> Hans?

bibtex: crossref / van
by Rob Ermers 20 Nov '05

20 Nov '05

Dear friends, I noticed that the crossref instruction in my bib file does not work. In the documentation are no clear clues. I changed InCollection --> InBook and vice versa. I tried putting the referenced book before and after the referencing item in the bib file. In fact, a reference does appear (between brackets), but the title referenced to is not printed. I read in the archive Taco's advice of putting \setbox\scratchbox={\hbox{\placepublications}} before \completepublications, but Context stumbles at the setbox command. 2. I also have problems with sorting author names like Van den Heuvel. Under Latex I used \noopsort, but this does not seem to work under Context Does anyone have a clue? Kind regards, Robert

Textblock does not match the layout parameters

Hi, While developping a page-layout for a book I cam across the following strange behaviour: The textblock in the attached example is larger than the paramters in the layout section would indicate. The pagenumber in the footer however respects the layout-parameters. Showframe does print the correct layout as given in de layout section. To me it looks like a calculation error. Hans could you please comment on this? Thanks Willi % Test-file % \showframe gives the correct dimensions. % The textblock however is larger than it should be.

diacritics in Utopia/Fourier
by Alan Bowen 18 Nov '05

18 Nov '05

I am running the latest version of ConTeXt and ran into a problem with some diacritical marks using %Fourier/Utopia Expert \usetypescript[type-syn] \usetypescript[fourier][\defaultencoding] \setupbodyfont[fourier,10.5pt] While \={\i} and \=a, for example, work as expected when the font is “italic” or bold, I get garbage when it is just roman. Is this a problem with the font encoding or is there something / different new that I must do to put macrons and so forth over letters in the roman typeface?

type-pre.tex
by Hans van der Meer 18 Nov '05

18 Nov '05

Addition to my previous message re this subject: In the top of file type-pre.tex it can be read: %D This file is obsolete. We now have latin modern and proper %D typescripts. Forget about this file. However, tracing execution of \startformula[bold] shows it is still read then, whereas on \startformula (without the bold) it is not. Isn't this an anomaly? Just curious (I hope curiosity is permitted in this group). One more observation. The trace shows an underfull hbox inserted at the start of this file \readfilename ->type-pre (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-local/tex/context/base/type-pre.tex Underfull \hbox (badness 10000) in paragraph at lines 21--13 \hbox(0.0+0.0)x426.78743 .\glue(\rightskip) 0.0 ) disappearing when a put \endinput right at the start of the file.

missing fontsynonym?

In file type-enc.tex I came across the fontsynonym \definefontsynonym [ComputerModernSans-Italic] [LMSans- Italic] However there is no further definition for LMSans-Italic. In contrast to for example LMRoman-Italic. Could this be a typo or a missing definition? Fontdefinitions like \definetypeface [mainface] [ss] [sans] [modern] [default] [ec] fail because of this.

new feature / manual
by Hans Hagen 17 Nov '05

17 Nov '05

Hi, There is a new feature + manual, for those who love obscure mechanisms. http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/xmanipulate.pdf Even if you dislike manipulations ... the manual mixes iwona and the new condensed latin modern monospace font. The preprocess feature is only supported by newtexexec. If you want to automatically run newtexexec instead of texexec, you need to set the environment variable TEXMFSTART_MODE to 'experimental' assuming that you use texmfstart as stub; for those who are not familiar with that: windows: texexec.bat @echo off texmfstart texexec.pl %* unix: texexec (shell script) #!/bin/sh texmfstart texexec.pl $@ (using texmfstart is a guarantee against changes in the policies of distributions with regards to scripts) Anyhow, the new feature concerns - preprocessing of files (e.g. recode for tex files or xslt-ing for xml files) - graphic manipulations (downsampling and beyond) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

In you documentation in the wiki is written that ConTeXt should be installed in ~/texmf But the structure is another as when I do it to /usr/local/teTeX . Must I do softlinks to this path to get context to work? Or do I only install teTeX like in the documentation and then install ConTeXt to /home/$USER/texmf and it works? Greetings Jessica

Re: bold math not mathitalic
by Hans van der Meer 16 Nov '05

16 Nov '05

I am trying to define bold math myself, but encounter a problem with the typescripts. Further probing into this matter (previous mail, see below) shows that the typescript delineated by ****'s is NOT USED AT ALL! (Calling \setupformulas[method=bold] makes no difference). It therefore does not seem a problem in the math family assignments in font-bfm.tex, as I first suspected. Is there some special invocation needed for hooking up a user defined font set into $\bfmath ...$? If have looked into font-bfm.tex and font-ini.tex but could not figure it out. Clearly I am misunderstanding the inner workings here, but I have no clue in which direction to look. > I am using the follwing (extracted) typescript lines for math in > the lucida fonts: > > \starttypescript [luc] > \definetypeface [luc][mm][math][lucidayy][default] > [encoding=texnansi] > \definetypeface [luc][mm][bfmath][lucidayy][default] > [encoding=texnansi] > \stoptypescript > > \starttypescript [math] [lucidayy] [default] > \definebodyfont [default] [mm] > [mr=MathRoman mo 1, mi=MathItalic mo 1, ....] > \stoptypescript > ************************************************************************ ****** > \starttypescript [bfmath] [lucidayy] [default] > \definebodyfont [default] [mm] > [mrbf=MathRomanBold mo 1, mibf=MathItalicBold mo 1, ....] > \stoptypescript ************************************************************************ ****** > \starttypescript [math] [lucidayy] [name] > \definefontsynonym [MathRoman] [LucidaBright] > \definefontsynonym [MathItalic] [LucidaNewMath-AltItalic] > \stoptypescript > > \starttypescript [math] [lucidayy] [texnansi,ec,8r] > \definefontsynonym [LucidaBright] [hlhr8y] > [encoding=texnansi] > \definefontsynonym [LucidaNewMath-AltItalic] [hlcrima] > \stoptypescript > > \starttypescript [bfmath] [lucidayy] [name] > \definefontsynonym [MathRomanBold] [LucidaBright-Demi] > \definefontsynonym [MathItalicBold] [LucidaNewMath-AltDemiItalic] > \stoptypescript > > \starttypescript [bfmath] [lucidayy] [texnansi,ec,8r] > \definefontsynonym [LucidaBright-Demi] [hlhb8y] > [encoding=texnansi] > \definefontsynonym [LucidaNewMath-AltDemiItalic] [hlcdima] > \stoptypescript > > Typesetting: > \starttext > \usetypescript[luc][texnansi]\setupbodyfont[luc,10pt]\lucidatrue > {$\sqrt{a^2 + b^2} = c + \mf\sin{}x\quad {\ma NZRC}$}\crlf > \stoptext > Gives me for the variables neatly LucidaNewMath-AltItalic. *** Changing the fonts in the above typescript does work *** > > But typesetting > \starttext > \usetypescript[luc][texnansi]\setupbodyfont[luc,10pt]\lucidatrue > {$\bfmath\sqrt{a^2 + b^2} = c + \mf\sin{}x\quad {\ma NZRC}$}\crlf > \stoptext > Gives me LucidaBright-Demi instead of LucidaNewMath-AltDemiItalic. > Everything else however (even the blackletters from ma) are in the > correct bold math font. > The font must be present, because substituting MathItalicBold for > MathItalic in the [math] script proves that. *** But not coming from my typescript I conclude from several experiments *** Hans van der Meer

Hi, The next couple of weeks there will probably more 'updates' than normal; this is due to the fact that i'm adding long due features and such. I also want to move on to the ruby variants of texexec and texutil, so i want the latest versions to be available (for testers). Currently I'm uploading a version that - fixes a problem introduced when implementing the \currentvalue hack (side effect was that the non english interfaces behaved weird) - a long standing wish of g.b. dealing with indentation (i tried to provide a more or less robust solution); the following works ok here (gb/taco: \noindent does not work in such cases, one really needs to make a handler the last action taken after a stop...; btw, suppressing a next indendation is best done with \noindentation which is what the auto thing used deep down) \setupindenting[small,yes] \setupitemize [indentnext=auto] \setuptyping [indentnext=auto] \setupformulas[indentnext=auto] \starttext \input tufte \startitemize \item ccc \stopitemize \input tufte \startitemize \item ccc \stopitemize \input tufte \startitemize \item ccc \stopitemize \page \input tufte \starttyping ccc \stoptyping \input tufte \starttyping ccc \stoptyping \input tufte \starttyping ccc \stoptyping \page \input tufte \startformula a = b \stopformula \input tufte \startformula a = b \stopformula \input tufte \startformula a = b \stopformula \stoptext Hans

font problems again
by Hans van der Meer 16 Nov '05

16 Nov '05

With the last release of context the problem of not getting cm fonts is over. These are now found. However, other font selections bring new difficulties. I tried various combinations but did not succeed. The simple program (using TeXShop): \starttext \setupbodyfont[tim,12pt] hello world \stoptext Fails and aborts with: This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.30.4-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.5) ConTeXt ver: 2005.11.11 fmt: 2005.11.13 int: english mes: english .... ! Font \*times12ptrmtf*:=utmr8t at 12.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found. Changing into \usetypescript[phv]\setupbodyfont[phv,12pt] ! Font \*postscript12ptrmtf*:=utmr8t at 12.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found. No help from enabling in cont-sys.tex of: \usetypescript[adobekb] [\defaultencoding] (updmap.cfg contains URWkb for the LW35 fonts) then it starts asking for (non-existing) maps like: Warning: pdfetex (file ec-urw-helvetica.map): cannot open font map file If I use \setupbodyfont[lbr,12pt] then I get just lm-roman, although I have the YandY lucida fonts installed with their original YandY names (lb--.pfb) Here no help from changing between texnansi and ec default encoding. Any idea whats amiss? I ran this on a teTeX3 install with the context files unzipped into texmf-local. (I must confess I am tempted to give up on ConTeXt altogether, because of these many font troubles.) Hans van der Meer

by Taco Hoekwater 16 Nov '05

16 Nov '05

Hello all, I am pleased to announce that the new ConTeXt release from Hans Hagen can be downloaded as of now from the Pragma ADE website or one of its mirrors. http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-tmf.zip http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-tmf.zip http://mirror.contextgarden.net/context/current/cont-tmf.zip If you have not updated your Latin Modern fonts in the past month, then you will need to fetch the latest redistribution of the LM fonts as well: http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-lmt.zip http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-lmt.zip http://mirror.contextgarden.net/context/current/cont-lmt.zip The current release has version 2005.11.15. As usual, there is a page with more detailed release notes available on the Wiki, see: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Context_2005.11.15 New features compared to the 2005.11.14 version: * A new key in \setupregister: prefix= This controls page prefixes in index ranges * New functionality: indentnext=auto Blank lines in the source are taken into account when indextnext=auto is in effect. A really short example of usage would be: \setupindenting[small,yes] \setupformulas[indentnext=auto] \starttext \startformula a = b\stopformula \input tufte % blank line => with indentation \startformula a = b\stopformula \input tufte % no blank line => no indentation \stoptext Bugs fixed since the 2005.11.14 version: * A bug in the new "extension of definitions inside assignments" feature in 2005.11.11 accidentally broke the non-english interfaces. Happy TeXing, Taco Hoekwater

bold math not mathitalic
by Hans van der Meer 15 Nov '05

I am using the follwing (extracted) typescript lines for math in the lucida fonts: \starttypescript [luc] \definetypeface [luc][mm][math][lucidayy][default] [encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface [luc][mm][bfmath][lucidayy][default] [encoding=texnansi] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [math] [lucidayy] [default] \definebodyfont [default] [mm] [mr=MathRoman mo 1, mi=MathItalic mo 1, ....] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [bfmath] [lucidayy] [default] \definebodyfont [default] [mm] [mrbf=MathRomanBold mo 1, mibf=MathItalicBold mo 1, ....] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [math] [lucidayy] [name] \definefontsynonym [MathRoman] [LucidaBright] \definefontsynonym [MathItalic] [LucidaNewMath-AltItalic] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [math] [lucidayy] [texnansi,ec,8r] \definefontsynonym [LucidaBright] [hlhr8y] [encoding=texnansi] \definefontsynonym [LucidaNewMath-AltItalic] [hlcrima] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [bfmath] [lucidayy] [name] \definefontsynonym [MathRomanBold] [LucidaBright-Demi] \definefontsynonym [MathItalicBold] [LucidaNewMath-AltDemiItalic] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [bfmath] [lucidayy] [texnansi,ec,8r] \definefontsynonym [LucidaBright-Demi] [hlhb8y] [encoding=texnansi] \definefontsynonym [LucidaNewMath-AltDemiItalic] [hlcdima] \stoptypescript Typesetting: \starttext \usetypescript[luc][texnansi]\setupbodyfont[luc,10pt]\lucidatrue {$\sqrt{a^2 + b^2} = c + \mf\sin{}x\quad {\ma NZRC}$}\crlf \stoptext Gives me for the variables neatly LucidaNewMath-AltItalic. But typesetting \starttext \usetypescript[luc][texnansi]\setupbodyfont[luc,10pt]\lucidatrue {$\bfmath\sqrt{a^2 + b^2} = c + \mf\sin{}x\quad {\ma NZRC}$}\crlf \stoptext Gives me LucidaBright-Demi instead of LucidaNewMath-AltDemiItalic. Everything else however (even the blackletters from ma) are in the correct bold math font. The font must be present, because substituting MathItalicBold for MathItalic in the [math] script proves that. It seems that mibf has not been substituted, but instead used the mr typeface. Could this be a flaw in the (bold)math handling? For example a wrong fam chosen in the font switch? It seems weird that everything behaves neat except for the bold math italic. Hans van der Meer

alignment in cells without "alignmentcharacter"
by Mojca Miklavec 14 Nov '05

14 Nov '05

Hello, (A question for a coffee break for Hans or Taco while updating macros for tables, although it may already be implemented somewhere.) I have a table with one column for room names with an optional slash (see below). The case is equivalent to aligning floating-point & natural numbers (without comma) in the same column. I aligned the entries with alignmentcharacter=/, which works perfect except in the cases where there's no slash present (the real example did an even worse, extremely strange alignment, where those numbers were sticking out of the cells, but I'll investigate that a bit & post an example another time). % plain text aligned in the same way as I would like it to have in the result \setupTABLE[c][1][aligncharacter=yes,alignmentcharacter=/,width=3cm,align=middle] \bTABLE \bTR\bTD 01/1 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD 02/13 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD 03 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD 314/2 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD 315 \eTD\eTR \eTABLE Is there an elegant way which would align those numbers as if they had an additional slash on the right? I was thinking about placing a transparent slash behind those number, but there may be a a cleaner & more elegant solution for it. If not, it could be done approximately in the spirit of alignifnoalignmentcharacterpresent= absoluteflushleft / % according to the cell absoluteflushright / % according to the cell middle / relativeflushleft / % according to the aligned content % since remaining numbers may be aligned to the right or to the middle, % this would align just as left as the leftmost number with alignment character relativeflushright / leftofthealignmentcharacter / % I only need this one rightofthealignmentcharacter . Alternatively I could define something completely invisible like \alignmehere and then use: \setupTABLE[c][1] [aligncharacter=yes, alignmentcharacter={\alignmehere}, width=3cm,align=middle] \bTABLE \bTR\bTD 01\alignmehere/1 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD 02\alignmehere/13 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD 03\alignmehere \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD 314\alignmehere/2 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD 315\alignmehere \eTD\eTR \eTABLE but I don't know what the definition of "\alignmehere" could be so that it would work OK. (Useful for complex alignments; for aligning nubers the first solution would be cleaner and better.) Thanks for any suggestions, Mojca

Not resetting chapter number on new part
by Giuseppe Bilotta 14 Nov '05

14 Nov '05

I would like the chapters across all my bodymatter to be numbered sequentially, even when they cross the part boundary. I.e, if I have \part{A part} \chapter{A chapter} \part{Another part} \chapter{Another chapter} I would like the latter to be numbered 2, not 1. I can of course do this by hacking \part, but I would like to know if there is a way to prevent number reset (something like resetchapter=no). -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

Re: [NTG-context] Index
by Duncan Hothersall 14 Nov '05

14 Nov '05

Hans, many thanks for the recent fixes on index sorting in the new ruby scripts. Can I offer another test file in which some errors still show up, in the hope that these too can be ironed out? The following shows two problems, culled from a much bigger project. It should be clear from the output what the problems are, but basically 1. there are three separate spans (\startregister...\stopregister pairs) with the same term content ("these three separate spans coalesce") which get coalesced into one strange a-b-c-d span, despite having been given different sort keys (I added numbers to the end of the sort keys to differentiate them). 2. there are three refs and a span all with the same term content ("these mixed refs and spans are in the wrong order"), and they get sorted into the wrong order in the output (the span comes before the refs, despite coming after in page order). So in my output, my index page at the back has the following content: these mixed refs and spans are in the wrong order 1/12–1/13, 1/2, 1/10, 1/14 these three separate spans coalesce 1/1–1/2–1/5–1/7 whereas what I'd hope to see is: these mixed refs and spans are in the wrong order 1/2, 1/10, 1/12–1/13, 1/14 these three separate spans coalesce 1/1–1/2, 1/3–1/5, 1/6–1/7 Really hope you can hammer out these two bugs, it would really help me!

TeXexec and MikTeX
by Leon Di Stefano 14 Nov '05

14 Nov '05

Greetings I have been trying to set up ConTeXt in Windows XP using MikTeX. I have been running LaTeX2e through TeXnic center fine. On the basis of the TeXexec manual, I ran "texexec --make en" I attempted to build a small file test.tex by running "texexec --pdf test" from the directory in which the file is located. It said that the default format file could not be found. I tried increasing the 'pattern memory ops' in the miktex.ini config file as you suggested to another TeXer; nothing happened. The following message occurs in the log: ... (C:\MiKTeX\tex\context\base\symb-mis.tex) symbols : loading symbolset mvs (C:\MiKTeX\tex\context\base\symb-mvs.tex) symbols : loading symbolset glm (C:\MiKTeX\tex\context\base\symb-glm.tex !

missing enc file
by Hans Hagen 14 Nov '05

14 Nov '05

Hi, Karl Berry and I just found out that on the coming tex live the cm*.enc files are missing (but lm-rep-cm* files are present); this can result in missing characters in math mode. Since it's too late to fix that ... I'll upload a release that has a map file referering to the lm-rep files (replicated files) so i assume that one has a recent lm installation; i have no idea to what extent those missing enc files will influence user's systems. I can add them to the context zip if needed. [cm mapping is needed for (1) math fonts and (2) including files that already have cm files; the context distribution has a file original-public-lm.map that -i hope- does an efficient inclusion -- has to do with pdftex being able to determins shared fonts] In any case, keep an eye on it when you install the coming tex live and miss chars.

Warning Trojan.Agent.EZ in texmfstart
by Willi Egger 13 Nov '05

13 Nov '05

Hi, I know this has been asked before, only that I did not experience the problem ... Since months I use Bitdefender antivirus software. I never experienced any problem running texmfstart. However since three days Bitdefender thinks, that the executable texmfstart from 27-07- 2005 contains a Trojan. I checked the size of texmfstart.exe. I got an older version which is 580kB the one which gives problems has 596kB. Copying the older version into the tex-tree works fine and Bitdefender does not complain. First question is: which is the actual version and size of texmfstart.exe? Provided that there is nothing wrong with texmfstart.exe with the size of 596kB should I contact the Bitdefender developpers? Kind regards Willi

first page puzzle

11 Nov '05

The following code \setuphead[chapter][page=yes] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \setuppagenumbering[location={header, middle},state=nomarking] \installpagebreakhandler{last}{} \definehead[Item][title] \setupsectionblock[Item][number=no,page=right] \setuphead[Item][after={\blank[2*big]},alternative=middle,style={\tfa \rm}] \setuphead[Item][header=high,footer={}] \setupheadertexts[text] [{\sc\ItemTitle}] [\pagenumber] [\pagenumber] [{\it xxxxx}] produces no header or footer on the first page, just as I want, in a multi-page document. What I am not seeing is why the same code produces a header (“ItemTitle....pagenumber”) when the document is only one page in length. I realize that I can insert \setupheader[state=high] in the source file of my single-page documents to get what I want, but that would still leave me puzzled. Any suggestions/explanations would be much appreciated. Alan
