Hi, thanks for your answer :-) These tipps will help a lot and answers a piece of my questions. With metafun I produced a graphic an the text comes in with \framed like its described in metafun and this works fine. The exact positioning is a problem but it works, not total like my suggestions, with a table. I've read mwidget and I have a question. Is it possible to mak a goto to a exact site in my document? I've read of next, previous and other documents but can I say something like "goto page 5 of the document" ? thx Jessica

Re: MathML: Please ignore <mo>⁡</mo>

This is the hex unicode reference for the entity ⁡ which is already defined in xtag-mml.tex as nothing ({}) via its expansion into ⁡. So the problem seems to be in arriving at ⁡ from ⁡. I'm not sure how to do that, but in the meantime you can define ⁡ explicitly using: \defineXMLentity [x02061] {} I think there is a mapping mechanism though, since a lot of Unicode is supported natively; perhaps the vector to which ⁡ belongs hasn't been completed yet.

At the moment I have no idea how most of the Chinese module or font-handling works, nor how I would implement something using the tricks you describe. I guess I would need some hand-holding if I were to embark on this, I guess also I would need to understand the mechanism used to re-use a TTF font many times with different encodings to create multiple 256 char tfms. > another option is to write another mapper analogue to the ones > already there for chinese, i.e. is there some mapping from utf to > big5 or so and hook that into the utf handler. This sounds like something I can at least understand a bit better. I will start here, and see what success I have. Perhaps it will help eventually with an attempt to do it the "right" way above. > (beware, the font-chi modules talk about unicode while actually it's > about dedicated mapings resembling a unicode approach; this > \defineucharmapping stuff) Yes indeed, that had me going... :-) Oh well. Thanks for the insight, I'll feedback further. Duncan

bib module: interaction (wish)
by Giuseppe Bilotta 11 Oct '05

11 Oct '05

Hello all, and Taco in particular, I'm a great fan of interaction, and I was wondering about what kind of interaction the BibTeX module could support. I'm thinking of two of them in particular. One of them is the obvious link to list of references on click. However, I'm also a great fan of balloons, so I was thinking of something like a popup-on-hover showing the full reference, thus sparing the need to go back-and-forth through the document. (Can these things be optimized so that the popup is only stored once in the PDF?) A potential problem would be with compressed citations, but I guess that in this case making only the displayed numbers active is the right solution. -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

Anchoring layer
by Thomas A. Schmitz 10 Oct '05

10 Oct '05

I'm trying to write a module that will mimick the behavior of crop.sty in LaTeX (providing fancier cropmarks than the ones given by the ConTeXt \setuplayout command). I'm done with the code for the cropmarks, and this is working fine. Now I want to have a status line in between the two top marks. How can I give an absolute position for a layer that will put this line midaligned and exactly, say 0.5cm above the level of the upper corners of the page? What I tried so far is: \composedlayer and something like \setlayer[y=2cm] - will only be on the first page, not repeated; \framed - I can give the frame a height like 1.3\textheight, but then the position will not be fixed, but change with the textheight I guess there must be a trivial solution, but I haven't found it yet...

Automatic next indent
by Giuseppe Bilotta 07 Oct '05

07 Oct '05

Hello all, and Hans in particular: Some time ago http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ref.ntg.nl/msg01744.html I had proposed a patch that added the "auto" value to some commmon indentnext options. I would *really* this to be taken into consideration. Rationale: things like formulas, itemgroups and the like (basically, everything that allows indentnext) are "displays". "Displays" are parts of the document that are embedded in a paragraph but are "put in display" by appropriate indenting & other tricks. Now, there are cases in which the paragraph continues after the display, and cases when it doesn't. So for example """ Some text in a paragraph, plus other text, still in the same paragraph and a displayed thing and a continuation of the same paragraph with some more text and other text """ would be different from """ Some text in a paragraph, plus other text, still in the same paragraph and a displayed thing In a separate pragraph, we have some other text """ Note that the two cases should be handled separately: in the first case, I *don't* want any indentation nor any blank line; in the second case, I might want either or both. indentnext=auto would NOT put an indent in cases like this: """ some paragraph \startdisplayedmaterial displayed stuff (formula or itemgroup or anything else) \stopdisplayedmaterial still same paragraph """ but WOULD put an indent here """ some paragraph \startdisplayedmaterial displayed stuff (formula or itemgroup or anything else) \stopdisplayedmaterial Different paragraph """ Hans, can you please consider it for inclusion? The patch is somewhat out of date, given the age, but the principle should be obvious. -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

bib module: multiple bibs and alphabetical order
by Idris Samawi Hamid 07 Oct '05

1. Does t-bib now support multiple bibliographies? For past issues of the journal, I had to define a new bib-env file for each article that required a bibliography, otherwise the bibliography of, say, article two would include the bibliography for article one. Is there a general solution for this? 2. Can t-bib extract the references and place them in alphabetical order, or do I have to still organize my bbl files alphabetically by hand (I really hope not->)? Automatic alphabetizing bbl file data in the output has been one of my major wishes for t-bib. If the above two are solved I can use a single master bbl file for the entire journal instead of multiple files, thus streamlinig much of my workflow.

Bib-module: crossreferences
by Roelof Langman 07 Oct '05

07 Oct '05

Hi Taco, Are crossreferences supposed to work in the new bib module? According to the Latex companion pp. 404ff. a crossreference can be made in an @inbook to a @book provided the @inbook precedes the @book in a .bib-file. If a @book is referenced at least two times by an @inbook, an entry for the @book is included in the reference list. In the new bibtex-module for Context, the crossreferences are resolved properly, I think, but the crossreferenced entry is not yet included in the reference list. I \cite[gould:1979] and \cite[rioch:1979], but lawrence:1979 doesn't appear in the reference list. Cheers, Roelof @inbook{gould:1979, author = "Gould, Laurence J.", crossref = "lawrence:1979", title = "Men and Women at Work: A Group Relations Conference on Person and Role", note = "See also \cite[rioch:1979].", pages = "111--122" } @inbook{rioch:1979, author = "Rioch, Margaret J.", crossref = "lawrence:1979", title = "The A.K. Rice Group Relations Conferences as a Reflection of Society", pages = "53--68" } @book{lawrence:1979, editor = "Lawrence, W. Gordon", title = "Exploring Individual and Organizational Boundaries.", publisher = "John Wiley \& Sons Ltd", year = 1979 }

bib module: support \noopsort
by Giuseppe Bilotta 07 Oct '05

07 Oct '05

Hello Taco, would it be possible for your module to support the \noopsort command you can find in some .bib files? Basically, a key like key = {\noopsort{value1}}value2 will print as value2 but be sorted under value1 (details in the bibtex references? For the time being I'm just putting a \let\noopsort\relax in my document. -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

getvariable
by Thomas A. Schmitz 07 Oct '05

07 Oct '05

I thought I had understood at least some aspects of macros, but it turns out I'm as lost as always. Here's my problem: I'm writing a module which will have a \setupcommand. The value is given in a [key=pair] list, so I thought I could use \getvariable. What I have is \def\setupcommand{\setvariables[namespace]} % setting up the namespace \setvariables[namespace][key=value,otherkey=value] % initializing the keys % And now I want to wrap my values up in a conditional statement: \doifelse{\getvariable{namespace}{key}}{value} {do something} {do something else} When I put the \doifelse statement into my source files, the test works; the key is assigned the value that is in the setupcommand. But this doesn't work at runtime: either \getvariable{namespace}{key} always has the value I assign in the line \setvariables[namespace] [key=value,otherkey=value], or if I comment out that line, the variable is empty. I can see why this is the case: the setupcommand is read AFTER the module, so at runtime, the variable is not assigned yet. So my approach seems fundamentally flawed. What could I do instead? Thanks for your help Thomas

Texfont map file.
by John R. Culleton 07 Oct '05

07 Oct '05

I always believed that when referring to a file in a \font statement one should use the first name found in the appropriate line in the map file. This is supposedly the name of the tfm file for that particular font. However texfont produces a map file like this: 8r-raw-AGaramond-Italic AGaramond-Italic 4 < AGaramond-Italic.pfb 8r.enc 8r-raw-AGaramond-Regular AGaramond-Regular 4 < AGaramond-Regular.pfb 8r.enc 8r-raw-AGaramond-RegularSC AGaramond-RegularSC 4 < AGaramond-RegularSC.pfb 8r.enc ...and texfont actually produces two tfm files per font. The correct name to use in a \font statement is the second name in the generated map file statement, not the first. Since not all map file statements have the second parameter this can be confusing. Since texfont attempts to provide for both pdftex and Context users this little gotcha should be referenced in the texfont manual. I discovered it by accident. -- 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

I thought that it was causing texexec to only do one run and/or MP not to run; but that must have been a glitch, because having not changed anything it is completing its runs now.

PDF v1.6 inclusion
by Duncan Hothersall 06 Oct '05

06 Oct '05

Hi. I'm trying to include some PDF files generated by Acrobat 7, which means they are PDF v1.6. ConTeXt (recent distribution, on linux) complains that "PDF version 1.6: Xpdf only supports 1.5". I thought that maybe I could switch to using Ghostscript instead of Xpdf-tools to process the files, in the hope that ghostscript would support 1.6, but I'm stymied trying to pass the correct parameter via texexec. Am I on the right track, and if so, what should I type? Many thanks, Duncan

Sorry to be a pain, but can anyone help with this? I'm converting a legacy system, in which everything (cross referencing, tables of contents, indices) was hand-coded in plain tex and Perl, across to ConTeXt. The advantage of having hand-coded the indexing stuff was that I could easily add features like eliding, or funny sort orders. I now need to reproduce the same output. I suspect I could apply the same techniques to the ConTeXt code, but I don't want to embark on a fool's errand if (a) it's already done somewhere, or (b) the code I hack is about to be replaced. Thanks, Duncan

If I use many different fonts (most being reencoded via virtual fonts into IL2 encoding), should I reencode them into the native ConTeXt font encoding (whatever it is), or can I make ConTeXt work with a different font encoding, perhaps different for different fonts? How? How? 4) What documentations for fonts in ConTeXt should I read, and in what order? And I have one (I hope) little plea to Mr. Hagen: Please, can you add MetaFont to your minimum TeX installation? I would like to use it instead of teTeX because it is more flexible. But I still use heavily some MetaFont bitmapped fonts. Many thanks anyway. Your thankful Michal Kvasnicka

New ConTeXt with old teTeX problem?

Good evening. After some time I tried to install the newest ConTeXt over my old teTeX in SuSE Linux 9.2. Everything seems to work. I use texexec version 5.4.3 with ConTeXt version 2005.08.31. ConTeXt gives this warning: systems : pdfTeX version 110 -> please update systems : eTeX version 201 -> too old (bugs) Then it failes on the minimal file: % output=pdf \starttext text \stoptext and gives this error: !

The old pdfetex? How can I upgrade it without reinstalling the whole SuSE system? I wouldn't mind to reject the teTeX and use Pragma's mimimum TeX distribution, but it does'nt include Metafont and I still need some .mf bitmapped fonts. Can you help me please?

installing context
by Rob Ermers 03 Oct '05

Dear Friends, I have updated miktex and context today. Latex works normally, but I can't get context working right. cont-en and cont-nl are causing problems. Miktex cannot generate an (e)fmt file of cont-en, con-nl. Last time I upgraded, something was wrong with the English hyphenation files. This time something else must be the matter; even though hyphenation in several languages apparently is not installed. texexec --make nl generates the same problem. Interestingly, messages are in Dutch. I would be grateful for any help!

Curious instruction from Texfont
by John R. Culleton 03 Oct '05

03 Oct '05

Ran texfont and things seemed to go well. The test program worked. But in the map file I find this curious instruction: --------------------------------- % Alternatively in your TeX source you can say: % % \pdf {+8r-nasa-nasal.map} % ----------------------------------------------- Using pdftex the above statement just causes an error. What am I misunderstanding here? I should explain that I use Context for non-fiction but plain pdftex for novels etc. -- 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

\noalign?
by Christopher Creutzig 03 Oct '05

03 Oct '05

Salvete, which tables allow using \noalign and in what places? E.g., the first of these works, but I'd also like to be allowed the second one (ignore what \pause does for the moment ...): \starttable[|c|c|c|] \HL \NC one \NC two \NC three \NC\AR \HL\noalign{\pause}% \NC one \NC two \NC three \NC\AR \noalign{\pause}\HL \stoptable I assume this has to do with trial typesetting or something like this, but what should I type instead? regards, Christopher

Lettrine Problems
by Marcus Vinicius Mesquita de So 03 Oct '05

03 Oct '05

Problems occur with Lettrine when used with the linenumbering environment, the dropped cap stays outside the margin. Minimal example below. A zipped file (129 Kb) with the pdf generated and a corrected one with Pitstop can be downloaded from the following link: http://rapidshare.de/files/5707655/test.zip.html Marcus Vinicius %******************************************************************************* \enableregime [win] \usemodule[t-lettri] \unexpanded\def\myfonthook{\definefontsynonym[LettrineFont][Serif]} \setuplettrine[Lines=2,TextFont=\sc,FontHook=\myfonthook,Findent=2pt,Nindent=0pt] \setupspacing[packed] \setuplinenumbering[start=1,step=5,style=\tfx] \setupindenting[medium] \setupindenting[medium] \starttext \language[pt] \startlinenumbering \lettrine{N}{aquele dia}, --- já lá vão dez anos! --- o Dr. Félix levantou-se tarde, abriu a janela e cumprimentou o sol. O~dia estava esplêndido; uma fresca bafagem do mar vinha quebrar um pouco os ardores do estio; algumas raras nuvenzinhas brancas, finas e transparentes se destacavam no azul do céu. Chilreavam na chácara vizinha à casa do doutor algumas aves afeitas à vida semi-urbana, semi-silvestre que lhes pode oferecer uma chácara nas Laranjeiras. Parecia que toda a natureza colaborava na inauguração do ano. Aqueles para quem a idade já desfez o viço dos primeiros tempos, não se terão esquecido do fervor com que esse dia é saudado na meninice e na adolescência. Tudo nos parece melhor e mais belo, --- fruto da nossa ilusão, e alegres com vermos o ano que desponta, não reparamos que ele é também um passo para a morte. Teria esta última idéia entrado no espírito de Félix, ao contemplar a magnificência do céu e os esplendores da luz? Certo é que uma nuvem ligeira pareceu toldar-lhe a fronte. Félix embebeu os olhos no horizonte e ficou largo tempo imóvel e absorto, como se interrogasse o futuro ou revolvesse o passado. Depois, fez um gesto de tédio, e parecendo envergonhado de se ter entregue à contemplação interior de alguma quimera, desceu rapidamente à prosa, acendeu um charuto, e esperou tranqüilamente a hora do almoço. Félix entrava então nos seus trinta e seis anos, idade em que muitos já são pais de família, e alguns homens de Estado. Aquele era apenas um rapaz vadio e desambicioso. A~sua vida tinha sido uma singular mistura de elegia e melodrama; passara os primeiros anos da mocidade a suspirar por cousas fugitivas, e na ocasião em que parecia esquecido de Deus e dos homens, caiu-lhe nas mãos uma inesperada herança, que o levantou da pobreza. Só a Providência possui o segredo de não aborrecer com esses lances tão estafados no teatro. Félix conhecera o trabalho no tempo em que precisava dele para viver; mas desde que alcançou os meios de não pensar no dia seguinte, entregou-se corpo e alma à serenidade do repouso. Mas entenda-se --- que não era esse repouso aquela existência apática e vegetativa dos ânimos indolentes; era, se assim me posso exprimir, um repouso ativo, composto de toda a espécie de ocupações elegantes e intelectuais que um homem na posição dele podia ter. Não direi que fosse bonito, na significação mais ampla da palavra; mas tinha as feições corretas, a presença simpática, e reunia a graça natural a apurada elegância com que vestia. A~cor do rosto era um tanto pálida, a pele lisa e fina. A~fisionomia era plácida e indiferente, mal alumiada por um olhar de ordinário frio, e não poucas vezes morto. Do seu caráter e espírito melhor se conhecerá lendo estas páginas e acompanhando o herói por entre as peripécias da singelíssima ação que empreendo narrar. Não se trata aqui de um caráter inteiriço nem de um espírito lógico e igual a si mesmo; trata-se de um homem complexo, incoerente e caprichoso, em quem se reuniam opostos elementos, qualidades exclusivas, e defeitos inconciliáveis. \stoplinenumbering \stoptext %******************************************************************************** __________________________________ Yahoo!

bib module: doubling publications list
by Idris Samawi Hamid 03 Oct '05

03 Oct '05

Dear Taco and gang, Ok, I'm migrating my journal over to the new bib module (ConTeXt from 8-31). First issue: Under some strange circumstances (perhaps if the bbl file and tex file have the same name?), sometimes the list of publications gets repeated. I cannot always repeat this though; seems capricious. Here are test files: =============test-bib.tex=============== % output=pdf interface=en \usemodule[bib] \setuppublications[alternative=apa] \setuppublications[autohang=yes] \setuppublications[numbering=no] \setuppublications[criterium=cite] \setuppublications[sorttype=bbl] \input test-bib.bbl \starttext \cite[afghani60] \section{References}{\tfx\setupinterlinespace {\placepublications}} \stoptext ======================================== ==============test-bib.bbl============== \startpublication[k=afghani60, t=book, a=Afgh\=an\=i, y=1960, s=] \author[]{Sa\high{c}\=id}[]{}{Al-Afgh\=an\=i} \title{Asw\=aqu \~al-\high{c}Arab f\=i \~al-J\=ahiliyya\~h wa \~al-Isl\=am} \pubname{D\=aru \~al-Fikr} \city{Damascus} \pubyear{1960} \stoppublication ======================================== If the \setuppublications[sorttype=bbl] line is commented, the problem disappears. If I change the name of the tex file to test-bib-dbl.tex, the problem disappears.

Couple of index questions/bugs
by Thomas A. Schmitz 03 Oct '05

03 Oct '05

I have a couple of index questions and bugs to report. Here comes: 1. When I use newtexexec, the sorting disregards an initial capital letter, sorting Hans under a; 2. Again in newtexexec, \seeindex is broken. The outpput it produces is see XXX, :0]-, and it gives an error message that I append at the end of the mail. The same file ran with texexec.pl compiles fine and produces correct ouptut. 3. In makeidx, it is possible to give the pagereference in the index a certain format with code like this \index{keyword|textit} so that the page-number will appear in Italics. Is anything like this possible in ConTeXt? That's it for now. Anu help will ne appreciated Best Thomas ===== error message for \seeindex !
