Insufficient symbol fonts error
by Alan Bowen 31 Oct '05

31 Oct '05

I am getting some puzzling errors when I try to use the Greek fonts in math formulae (to represent Greek numerals as written in mss.) In a short file, both \overbar{\grk{kj}} and $\overline{\hbox{\grk{kj}}}$ work as expected, even when they occur in Greek text. But in a long, complicated file with lots of Greek etc. and the same environment file, I get !

There is a bug in the ctxtools. Consider the original-public-lm.map. Lines such as cmbsy10 cmbsy10 cmbsy5 cmbsy5 cmbsy6 cmbsy7 should become either cmbsy10 default cmbsy10 cmbsy5 default cmbsy5 cmbsy6 default cmbsy7 partucularly when the name of the tfm and pfb do differ; or just cmbsy10 cmbsy5 cmbsy6 where the name of the tfm and pfb do NOT differ.

"learning path" is an acronym I've found while using Dokeos elearning platform, as an equivalent to a course i guess. For creating a course/learning path you assemble differents documents in a l.p.. When the alumni/trainee reads this course, he will be able what he have to read next after the fisrt doc, and so on. I've made a graphic capture of the webpage for showing what elements are making a learning path in the Dokeos vision : list of doc allready readen, docs to read, progression bar, plus the breadcrumb trail; i don't want to put so much stuff in the pdfs made wit Context(apart putting an A4 text on an A3 page!) because i keep a printable A4 format for my courses, even i there interaction in it, for screen usage. So i wish to have only vertical progression bars + percentage in the inner margin. s-pre-01 "original" style show a bottom interaction bar filled with pagenumbers drawn as little rectangles. Maybe it's possible to draw a continuous bar with metapost, but for percentage ? Ideally, i wish to have 2 progression bars : one for project progression and second for product prog. Thanks for listening. -- olivier Turlier -- Olivier TURLIER

suggestion for \startitemize.
by John R. Culleton 27 Oct '05

27 Oct '05

It is possible to nest \startitemize sequences, But each level requires a different parameter in the \startitemize statement. OTOH the \orderedlist command in eplain.tex uses 1,2,3 for the outside list, then a,b,c for the first nest, roman numerals for the next nest and finally "*" for the innermost list. A similar automatic sequence or sequences would be useful in Context. -- John Culleton Books with answers to marketing and publishing questions: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf Book coaches, consultants and packagers: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf

Please add Fraktur to the math fonts
by Giuseppe Bilotta 27 Oct '05

27 Oct '05

The Fraktur fonts are missing from the standard math definitions. Currently, I have this kind of hack in t-amsl: \definebodyfont [17.3pt,14.4pt,12pt,11pt,10pt,9pt] [mm] [mc=eufm10 sa 1] \definebodyfont [8pt,7pt,6pt] [mm] [mc=eufm7 sa 1] \definebodyfont [5pt] [mm] [mc=eufm5] Basically, for what I can see, the problem is that mc= is not defined in the default typescript files. Adding it would be as simple as replicating the mi lines into mc lines, at least for computer-modern & similar, since the actual font used is the same. Could this please be done for the official distribution? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

Sorry for the flurry of questions. But here’s one about margin kerning now. I see that by using \usetypescript[serif,sans,mono,mm][hanging][normal] \setupalign[hz,hanging] I can get margin kerning in the body text, but not in any footnotes/ endnotes. What else is needed to get margin kerning throughout the notes too? As ever, any advice will be gratefully received. Alan

alignment of figures
by Jörg Hagmann 25 Oct '05

25 Oct '05

Dear list members, I want to have figures arranged as follows: 1. Figures smaller than 0.5 textwidth at the inner margin, text flowing arround figure. 2. Between 0.5 and 1*textwidth in the middle, no text flowing. 3.Figures wider than textwidth aligned with the inner margin of the textblock and sticking out into the (wide) outer margin. I found out how to do the first 2 (from "Details") but couldn't figure out the last one. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot. Jörg

Continuous chapter numbering
by Randall Skelton 25 Oct '05

25 Oct '05

Hi all, I have a technical manual setup in ConTeXt whereby the manual itself is a ConTeXt 'project' and each chapter is a different component. Within this, I need to group some chapters together so these grouped chapters are products. Thus, I have: project: MyManual component: Chapter 1 component: Chapter 2 component: Chapter 3 product: Example 1 component: Chapter 4 component: Chapter 5 product: Example 2 component: Chapter 6 component: Chapter 7 product: Example 3 component: Chapter 8 component: Chapter 9 ... Is there a way to have the chapter numbers be continuous rather than resetting at the beginning of each product? I have already disabled product numbers in a setupheader command but I'm stumped at how to make the chapter numbers continuous. I've tried playing with "incrementnumber=file" but I'm not sure this appropraite... any hints here would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks! Randall \setuphead [part] [textcommand=\MyPartText, textstyle={\switchtobodyfont[Titling, 11pt]\sc}, placehead=yes, color=black, number=no, page=right, continue=no, header=empty, distance=0pt, before=\setups{part:before}, after=\setups{part:after}] \setuphead[Topic,chapter] [ numbercommand=\MyChapterNumberText, incrementnumber=prj_thesis, textcommand=\MyChapterText, textstyle={\switchtobodyfont[Titling, 11pt]\sc}, color=black, number=yes, page=right, continue=no, header=empty, distance=0pt, before=\vbox to 3cm\bgroup, after=\vss\egroup ]

MathML: Please ignore <mo>⁡</mo>

Salvete, I just started to think about using ConTeXt on XML input files, so I've got a question which should be easy to answer: My MathML source generates presentation code which includes <mo>⁡</mo> between a function symbol and its arguments. I get a black rectangle for that; I'd like ConTeXt to ignore this character, where do I define it as “nothing”? regards, Christopher

font scaling in typescripts
by Thomas A. Schmitz 25 Oct '05

25 Oct '05

This may be a bug, or I may be missing something... I have defined a typescript for my Adobe Garamond, and I want Courier as the monotype font accompanying it. Since Courier is a bit too big compared to Garamond, I want to scale it down, so I have this line in my typescript (yes, I have adapted my own Courier, I have given up on all the changes in names etc. in the latest teTeX releases): \definefontsynonym [Courier] [texnansi-Courier sa 0.9] [encoding=texnansi] This works almost perfectly; Courier is scaled exactly like I want it. There's one small problem: the first occurrence of monotype in the document will print "sa 0.9 at 12.0pt" just before the passage in monotype. This happens only once in the document, but it doesn't look very nice. Bug or feature? Best Thomas

25 Oct '05

Hi, I have some questions again. :-) I want to draw a figure with metafun and place this on an exact place like x=3cm,y=4cm. This figure will be build of some figures which I draw with Metafun. In which way I do this? Whith layers? How should it looks like? Get some small layer with only one figure together in a big layer? And when I've build this graphic I want to put text into it and the whole graphic should be interactive. I want to lay a hyperlink over this to the web or another page in my document. Is this possible and in which way? thx jessica

interaction between header texts and typing environments
by Marko Schütz 25 Oct '05

25 Oct '05

I'm trying to have header texts on every page. There are also some long typing environments in the document. It seems that when the page breaks within the typing environment processing the header texts leads to an error. If I put a \ifprocessingverbatim\else .... \fi around the table in the header text, I do not get the error. So I should turn off the typing environment temporarily to get the header text out. How should I do that? \stoptyping ... \starttyping do not do it. Thanks, Marko \startproduct test \setupheadertexts[{\starttable[|w(.8\textwidth) l|w(.15\textwidth)l|] \HL \VL \VL page \pagenumber\ of \totalnumberofpages \VL\FR \VL \VL \VL \LR \HL \stoptable}] \starttyping test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test test \stoptyping \stopproduct

presentation styles empty front page
by Hans van der Meer 24 Oct '05

24 Oct '05

I have a problem with the presentation styles s-pre-xx. Since I used them previously (about 2-3 years ago) now an EXTRA blank page appears up at the front of the series of sheets. I am positive this did not occur in the past, since I did not change my files. Because I tried some different presentation styles and they all show the extra page, my suspicion is that it could originate somewhere in s-pre-00 (pre-general). However, I cannot find something suspicious in that file. What has happened? dr. H. van der Meer

processing of setvariables/getvariables again
by Thomas A. Schmitz 24 Oct '05

24 Oct '05

Hi all, excuse me for being so pig-headed, but I'm running into the same problem I had two weeks ago. Peter Rolf was incredibly helpful, but I couldnt get things working. It is more a problem of architecture and general choices, IMHO, than of actual code. I tried every single part of what I want to achieve, and it works. The difficulty lies in getting the variables to work... Basic problem: I want to refine my greek module. It provides a command \setupgreek[font=,scale=] which sets variables fonts and scale in the namespace Greek. The command is defined in the module, so in order to use it, the module has to be read. BUT: I want to use the result [i.e. \getvariable {Greek}{font} and \getvariable{Greek}{scale}] within the module itself. Is this possible? Details: I want to organize the fonts in a typescript to be more flexible. So the module first defines the setupcommand: \def\setupgreek{\setvariables[Greek]} then it calls the typescript \usetypescriptfile[type-tasgreek] where all the Greek fonts are defined in this form: \starttypescript [serif] [GreekGentium] [agr] \definefontsynonym [Greekgentium-Roman] [genagr-GentiumAlt] [encoding=agr] \definefontsynonym [Greekgentium-Italic][genagr-GentiumAItI] [encoding=agr] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [GreekGentium] [name] \usetypescript[serif][fallback] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [Greekgentium-Roman] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [Greekgentium-Italic] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [Serif] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [Serif] \stoptypescript So the module calls the typescriptfile (or would it be more elegant to include these typescripts in the module itself?) I then have the definition for the command \localgreek which contains, among other things, a call of the Greek font. I had been planning to implement it in this form: \definetypeface [My\getvariable{Greek}{font}] [rm] [serif] [\getvariable{Greek}{font}] [default] [rscale = \getvariable{Greek} {font},encoding=agr] and then, in the setups for \localgreek, \switchtobodyfont[My\getvariable{Greek}{font}] And that's where I'm banging my head against the wall: the module would be used like this \usemodule[t-greek] \setupgreek[font=GreekGentium,scale=0.9] Which means: the entire module will be read BEFORE the \setupgreek command. But I would need the values of the setupgreek command WITHIN the module. Is that possible at all? Would I have to call a third file where the values are then processed? I tried to look into the source how \setup commands work, but I do get the impression that collecting the values and processing them is done in different files. Is this necessary? And how could I implement it in one module? Sorry if this sounds confusing, but I'm pretty confused, and hoping for enlightenment from the wizzards. All best Thomas

Problems with Natural Tables
by Adam Duck 22 Oct '05

22 Oct '05

Hello ConTeXters, my girlfriend writes her dimploma thesis now and I talked her into using ConTeXt, but now I'm not sure anymore that this was the right thing to do. So, the problems are numerous and some of them are: - how do I set the spacing between a vertical line (between two columns) and the text inside that columns? I already used "framedoffest=-3pt", but the output is unacceptable. - how do I center the whole table? This one is really crucial: my GF also accepts hacks ;). - why doesn't \splitfloat{\placetable...} work with Natural Tables? (They won't get splitted at all, but with tables and linetables it works...) - how do I refer to tables then? I have chosen Natural Tables because they were the only one that splitted correctly (tables and linetables let out 2/3 of a page). So, that's all for now. bye, Adam.

updated service on garden
by Patrick Gundlach 21 Oct '05

21 Oct '05

Hello everybody, I might be silent, but not without a new gift for you. I have updated the http://articles.contextgarden.net section in the garden. Well, it looks pretty much the same as before, but a tiny visible enhancement on the right side: a search box. I have added a full-text search engine, and you can now search through most context related articles. Currently this is only most of the MAPS and one article from the PracTeX journal, but expect more to come in the next few days. Imagine all manuals, myways and other texts in the index and you can search and dowload (if available) them directly. And without noise: you can only find articles that deal with ConTeXt. Please send suggestions and bug reports. Enjoy! Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki and more: http://contextgarden.net

distance with \godown
by Jessica Holle 20 Oct '05

20 Oct '05

Hi I have a problem... I I don't know in which way I should solve... I've make a presentation. It's not very fine done but I'm proud that this works :-) I've made a graphic in metafun and make a overlay with this as the background. Then I defined a framed box with the same values as the graphic, use the overlay as a background and nice I have my menu. But then I make a small space with \godown and now the framed section goes down and up from page to page. This phenomenon is only when I do the link (\goto) on the whole framed. When I put the link on the text there is no problem. Hope aou understand my problem it's difficult to understand. I think you can compile this and look to the left side, hope it works to compile here is my tex file (not nice but works)

More MathML problems
by Christopher Creutzig 20 Oct '05

20 Oct '05

Salvete, I know the MathML spec is inconsistent. I believe the following should be changed, though: <mfenced><mi>x</mi><mi>y</mi></mfenced> currently renders as $(xy)$, while the spec says (3.3.8.1) it should be $(x,y)$. Fix: xtag-mmp.tex, line 105, change from \def\MMLpFENCED#1#2% {\getXMLarguments{mfenced}{open="(" close=")" separators="" #1}% to \def\MMLpFENCED#1#2% {\getXMLarguments{mfenced}{open="(" close=")" separators="," #1}% <mo>⁡</mo> and its equivalent forms should not produce output. <mfenced open=""><mi>x</mi></mfenced> leads to an error, since the \left. at the beginning is missing. (Unlikely to appear in everyday maths, but can happen.) In my reading of 3.2.3.2, <mi>a</mi> should be italic, but <mi>abc</mi> should be upright. (I would be happy if I had to switch this on at only one place, to keep backward compatibility.) regards, Christopher Creutzig

combination questions

Hi ho! * Is it possible to nest combinations? (Doesn't look like, i.e. I didn't manage it.) * How do I get the combination caption printed *above* the picture? (location=high or top in \setupcombinations didn't do that) Grüßlis vom Hraban! --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://contextgarden.net http://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)

def with if..else fails in TABLE
by Henning Hraban Ramm 18 Oct '05

18 Oct '05

Salute wizards! I tried to write a macro for a TABLE line: \def\TestCmd{\dodoubleempty\doTestCmd} \def\doTestCmd[#1][#2]#3{\bTR\bTD #3 \iffirstargument\hfill (#1)\fi \eTD \bTD \ifsecondargument 3: #2 and #3 \else 2: only #3 \fi \eTD\eTR } But it never goes into "else" (if #2 is empty, I get "3: and #3")! And it's only with the table commands around. Why? What can I do? Grüßlis vom Hraban! --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://contextgarden.net http://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)

Modes for configuration
by Alan Bowen 17 Oct '05

17 Oct '05

Following the example in the ConTeXt Wiki (http:// wiki.contextgarden.net/Modes) I have defined an environment file that specifies two modes (screen, print) for the production of the same source file. This works well when the appropriate texexec commands are given at the command line. The problem is that I am trying to set this production up for users who are happier with a GUI. Is there a way to do generate diverse outputs from the same source file without resorting to the command line? I have experimented with TeXShop—the users tend to works on Macs —but without success thus far. Thanks for any suggestions. Alan

learning path
by olivier Turlier 17 Oct '05

17 Oct '05

Hi everybody, I wish to set up kind of a "learning path" (= "pedagogic" progression bar, like in http://www.dokeos.com/scorm_compliant_course_content.php) in the inner margin of documents issued of a project/product/component structure. Ideally, this learning path will look like 2 full bars with percentage indication, one for project, the other for product. I've seen progression spots in Hans'presentations, but far from able to reproduce them. I'm thinking that those indicators get their names "automatically", on each new component or product made under a same project, either via a variable mecanisme or another one I don't know yet. Graphically, the whole mecanism must stay in a light color to not overcome the content. TIA for any answer -- Olivier TURLIER

MathML: Spacing bug
by Christopher Creutzig 17 Oct '05

17 Oct '05

Salvete, afaics, the following three mathml snippets encode exactly the same thing: ---[1]------------ <mrow> <mi>a</mi> <mo>::</mo> <mi>b</mi> </mrow> ---[2]------------ <mrow> <mi>a</mi> <mo>::</mo> <mi>b</mi> </mrow> ---[3]------------ <mrow> <mi>a</mi><mo>::</mo><mi>b</mi> </mrow> However, I only get the expected output from the third version. Any workaround or bugfix? Regards, Christopher

German ß
by Wolfgang Zillig 17 Oct '05

17 Oct '05

Hello, i have some problems with an selfcreated typescriptfile. Until one of the last context-updates everythin works fine. The font I use is from the hfbright package (the hfbright package is a free version of the cmbright font) but when I created that typescript I did't relalize that a full font package was available and I renamed the fonts (therefore I will not provide that ugly typescript file here). I don't know what has changed but the german ß is not working any more. I use as font encoding ec and as regime win. I'm a bit confused where exactly my problem lies: either the encoding is wrong, but I do't know which one is right because in the latex package hfbright the encoding is called OT1. Has anyone an idea how to fix this problem or can anyone help me to set up a context module like the hfbright-module? Many thanks Wolfgang

Debian Install
by K. David Prince 17 Oct '05

17 Oct '05

I followed the instructions on: <http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TeTeX_3.0_installation>. I even purged out the old tetex packages before doing the apt-get install. Now, upon "Checking" I get: ===Begin=== jaz:~# texexec --version TeXExec 5.2.4 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texexec : TeXExec 5.2.4 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texutil : TeXUtil 9.0.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2004 tex : pdfeTeX, 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4) context : ver: 2005.01.31 cont-en : ver: 2005.01.31 fmt: 2005.10.14 mes: english total run time : 2 seconds jaz:~# kpsewhich texmf.cnf /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf jaz:~# kpsewhich context.tex /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/context.tex jaz:~# ===End=== My concern is with the results from the kpsewhich command. I'm not getting: /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf and /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/context.tex respectively. My question: Should I move the file, for example, /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf to /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/context.tex or use a link from one to the other? Or, just leave it alone. My assumption is that the Debian package management system takes care of these things. But, then, this is part of an experimental distribution, so maybe, I'm thinking, I need to "fine tune" things....still. Thanks, Dave

Chinese in utf-8
by Duncan Hothersall 17 Oct '05

17 Oct '05

Hi all. I have ConTeXt set up to output Chinese using usemodule[chinese], all fonts, encodings and maps are installed and the sample file works well. Now I have a whole load of Chinese text in utf-8 encoding. Can ConTeXt process this, or do I have to convert it to another encoding? I tried \enableregime[utf] and \useencoding[uc] but it just produced black blobs instead of Chinese characters. I hope ConTeXt can do it? :-) Thanks, Duncan

Arabic transliteration macros
by Idris Samawi Hamid 16 Oct '05

16 Oct '05

Dear syndicate, I have been using some ugly/naive macros for scientific transliteration of Arabic up to now. I recently overhauled these after studying the enco-def.tex method. These might be useful for others who have to transliterate Arabic. (I have written my own scientific transliteration by the way, based on the German ZDMG system:) http://www.gsp-online.org/journals/journaldocs/shi/transliteration.pdf imacron occurs very frequently in Arabic transliteration, in virtually every system. In Latin Modern the macron on the `i' is too large and looks really bad when used frequently. I've redefined it, and would suggest that, for lmr anyway, that something like the imacron definition below works much better than the default. On the other hand, I need to make the imacron definition more general to include the bold case (which needs a thicker macron). How can I add a conditional to the macro definition of \itextmacron so that it selects its argument based on whether \tf (and the like) or \bf (and the like) is in effect? I wish that TeX had a simple \iffont test but maybe there is an easy way to do that? If there are any other suggestions or comments to improve or streamline this, please let me know.

dvipdfmx-reminder for next version
by Idris Samawi Hamid 15 Oct '05

15 Oct '05

Dear Hans and the rest of the gang, This is just a friendly reminder for the next ConTeXt version. There is a bug in the ctxtools. Consider the original-public-lm.map. Lines such as cmbsy10 cmbsy10 cmbsy5 cmbsy5 cmbsy6 cmbsy7 should become either cmbsy10 default cmbsy10 cmbsy5 default cmbsy5 cmbsy6 default cmbsy7 partucularly when the name of the tfm and pfb do differ; or just cmbsy10 cmbsy5 cmbsy6 where the name of the tfm and pfb do NOT differ. Otherwise dvipdfmx will fail-( Probably easier to just do <tfm> <default> <pfb> for all cases... All the best Idris ============================ Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

I have to say I'm unable to make any sense of it at the moment. I think I understand the logic of what is needed but understanding the current implementation is way beyond my current capacity. Does anyone else have a need to process Simplified Chinese encoded in UTF-8? If not, perhaps I should just explore getting my sources changed into GBK. If there was someone else with the same need we could perhaps share the burden... Thanks again, Duncan (PS I'm away for the next week, please don't think I'm ignoring you if I don't reply over that period.)
