Hi, I've again a problem but I don't know how to solve it. Please help... I want to test the Image Database.

ec encoding and tcaron
by Vit Zyka 16 Aug '05

16 Aug '05

Hi all, let allowed me some pessimism. I am working on our 40-years-scout-group-bulletin intensively for more then a month. I have to solve many many technical problems instead on focusing on the design. The Bulletin is rather complex but many problems are 'simple'. I start to doubt if ConTeXt (and that is why TeX generally) is good tool for such typsetting. Detective debugging is good fun but if time is going, no results, and the list of todo technical unwanted features is increasing... Only some of these 'bugs' I presented in this list. Even such number would be looking as making only troubles. Never mind, here is another problem I am puzzled by for 4 hours... Please imagine a simple code in ISO-8859-2: -------------------------------------- \enableregime[il2] %\enableregime[latin2] \usetypescript[modern][ec] \setupbodyfont[10pt,rm] \starttext ťŤ % \tcaron\Tcaron \WORD{ťŤ} \stoptext --------------------------------------- It produces an error ! Undefined control sequence. <to be read again> ¢ It comes from the first letter inside \WORD{...}. The same letters outside \WORD are typeset OK. So ť is not defined. But where it should be defined? \tcacon def is OK. Other diacritics chars e.g. \dcaron, \rcaron are OK. I was looking to enco-ec, enco-il2, regi-lat. Upper/lower mapping and char codes seems to be OK. But more I looking into I less understand it. There is no regi-il2 file, so I expect that appropriate info goes from enco-il2. But any other (perhaps more appropriate) combination like \enableregime[latin2] \usetypescript[modern][ec] or \usetypescript[modern][il2] gives totaly wrong glyphs. I believe that ť uppecase bug also relates with ignoring making pseudo-caps for this letter by texfont --fontroot=X: --en=ec --ve=public --co=lm --source=auto --ca=0.8 lmbx10 So problem is somewhere in ec encoding. Can somebody help please? Thanks and sorry for my embittering - it aims to my own head. vit

kpse
by Hans Hagen 16 Aug '05

16 Aug '05

Hi, The latest distribution has an experimental ruby kpse class in kpsefast.rb (expects updates -). As far as i can measure it's not slower than native kpse and once loaded in a ruby prog it's faster of than reinvoking kpse each time; it can (optionaly) dump the database in a home/temp path which halves loading time. I will probably use this mechanism in the coming texexec/texutil (maybe also in texmfstart). The associated variant of kpsewhich is 'tmftools' (no help yet). Apart from basic kpsewhich functionality it will harbor more tree tools. texmfstart tfmtools --analyze --root=/whatever/tex texmfstart tfmtools --analyze --root=/whatever/tex --trees=texmf,texmf-local can be very instructive on duplicate files on your machine and point you to problems. It has a --delete option which can be used as follows texmfstart tfmtools --analyze --root=/whatever/tex --delete "texmf-local/fonts/.*/lm" this will remove dups in texmf-local (to be sure, one needs to pass --force as well) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

itemize + color question
by Thomas A. Schmitz 16 Aug '05

16 Aug '05

Dear gang, This seems like a very easy one, but I can't figure it out: on my slides, I want numbered itemizations to appear item by item, and I want the previous items to be "greyed out." I think this can only be done by combining two itemize environments. This is what I tried: \setupitemize[1][n,packed,joinedup] \startitemize[color=darkgray] \item \color[darkgray]{one} \stopitemize \startitemize[color=white][continue] \item two \stopitemize But the switches color=something and continue seem to exclude each other: either I get a continued item numbered "2," but in grey, or I get a white item number "1". There must be some obvious mistake, but where? Thanks, and best Thomas

Why do size changes affect my math font?
by Brooks Moses 15 Aug '05

15 Aug '05

Consider the following simple document, with is a minimalist version of the slides that I'm currently working on: \starttext The variables are $u$ and $p$. \stoptext This works fine; the text is in roman and the math in italics, just as I desire. However, I need a larger font for my slides, and thus I'm also using a font size command, like so: \starttext \tfc The variables are $u$ and $p$. \stoptext This causes the math to be in roman instead of italic. (It's not in "text font" per se; an \it after the \tfc will italicise the text but not the math, creating a quite odd effect.) Is there a reason for this? What's the cleanest way to fix it for all the various size commands? Thanks, - Brooks

A question on drawing functions in MetaFun
by Jin-Hwan Cho 15 Aug '05

15 Aug '05

I tried to generate "Figure 9.2 An example of a graphic with labels along the axes." in metafun-p.pdf (p.209), but could get only graphics without labels. I used the codes in the page 208 as follows (see the attached file) \startMPpage StartPage ; ... codes in p.208 here ... StopPage ; \stopMPpage In this case, the generated MPS file (ch93-1-mpgraph.1) had the bounding box (0, 0, 420, 596). When I used \startuseMPgraphic instead of \startMPpage, the generated MPS file had the different bounding box (-47, -17, 300, 575), and I could see the right one. Please tell me what I missed.

A wee bit more about OpenType (Myriad Pro)
by David Wooten 12 Aug '05

12 Aug '05

Greetings all & Adam, Having successfully installed Jenson & Minion Pro I've been trying to get Myriad Pro to install as a companion Sans (motivated in part by the fact that Adam has a nice typescript file for Warnock Pro with Myriad). I'm having some difficulties, which seem similar to difficulties I had earlier on…but apparently we finished our conversation off the list, so I can't locate what the solution was ;) (I believe it was "try updating to the latest version of LCDF from *EXPERIMENTAL*"). Before I display some error messages, I want to ask, Adam, why the Myriad Pro fontsynonyms in your typescript do not have any of the OpenType features—liga? kern? Is this due to Myriad Pro's particulars? [I've just checked, and it isn't only Myriad Pro that won't install.] I'm using Gerben's i-Installer, 2004 stable, ConTeXt updater, LCDF 2.26 (no longer in the "experimental" directory).

\starttabulate vertical spacing
by Christoph Czarnetzki 11 Aug '05

11 Aug '05

Hello! i want to put some space between lines in a tabulate environment. \starttext \starttabulate[|l|p(1cm)|] \NC Some Text \NC Other Text \NC\NR\HL \NC Some Text \NC Other Text \crlf\NC\NR \NC Some Text \NC Other Text \NC \stoptabulate \stoptext i did it with \crlf, but this is too much for me. \godown doesnt work either. Half of a line in space would be great. I tried that with starttable too, but the \HL command in tabulate works better. The text is aligned directly under the ends of the line. So i use tabulate. And the other problem is, crlf only works if tab is set to |p|. thanks! Christoph

Clipping a path to a boundary --- Being more specific
by David Arnold 10 Aug '05

10 Aug '05

Hans et al, Let me try to be more specific. Here is a file which is very typical of the way I draw graphs for my mathematics classes. When you compile, you will see the graph of the absolute value of x-1. That is, it draws the graph of y=|x-1|, but only after clipping it to the cpath. What I would like to do is draw the graph with the drawdblarrow command so that the graph of the absolute value ends in arrowheads. So, I want to clip the graph to the bounding box, save the picture, null the picture, then somehow extract the path into the variable F in its clipped form (not the original path F that extends outside the clip path) so that I can replace the command draw pic with drawdblarrow F. beginfig(0); numeric a, c; a=1; % define function f(x)=|x-a| vardef f(expr x)= abs(x-a) enddef; % draw line with given point and slope path F; F:=(-5,f(-5)); for x=-5 step 1 until 5: F:=F--(x,f(x)); endfor; % initialize scale numeric u; 10u=3in; % the line F:=F scaled 1u; draw F withcolor blue; % clipping path path cpath; cpath:=(-5,-5)--(5,-5)--(5,5)--(-5,5)--cycle; cpath:=cpath scaled 1u; % clip and save current picture picture pic; clip currentpicture to cpath; pic:=currentpicture; currentpicture:=nullpicture; % erase currentpicture currentpicture:=nullpicture; % draw grid for k=-5u step 1u until 5u: draw (-5u,k)--(5u,k) withcolor 0.85white; draw (k,-5u)--(k,5u) withcolor 0.85white; endfor; % draw axes drawarrow (-5u,0)--(5u,0); drawarrow (0,-5u)--(0,5u); % label axes label.rt(btex $x$ etex, (5.2u,0)); label.top(btex $y$ etex, (0,5.2.u)); label.bot(btex $5$ etex, (5u,0)); label.lft(btex $5$ etex, (0,5u)); % redraw line draw pic; endfig; end.

List head colour
by Duncan Hothersall 10 Aug '05

Quick question. With "\startitemize[n][color=red]", "\item ..." gives me the item number in red, but "\head ..." gives me the item number in the default colour. With "\startitemize[n][headcolor=red]", "\head ..." gives me the whole line in red including the number. Is there any setup which can give me just the item number in red when using "\head ..."? Is it possible? Thanks all. Duncan

TABLE feature wishes
by Eckhart Guthöhrlein 09 Aug '05

09 Aug '05

Hi again, as dicussed some time ago, here comes the reminder of what context lacks concerning table typesetting. I will concentrate on \bTABLE .. \eTABLE, since it is much more powerful than the older ones (and I do not know much about linetables). In order to be able to typeset tables with satisfactory results, I personally need at least the following missing features: - Control over horizontal cell spacing and vertical row spacing, independently of each other. This can not be done currently, since the rulethickness parameter affects all frames of a cell. - Better support for horizontal rules, without affecting the actual cells. I would like to say e.g. \HL between rows to get a line. A command to span just a selection of columns is also necessary. Although I have tricked TABLE into doing what I want with dummy rows and metapost graphics, this is not a very nice solution. Concerning rules, I would suggest further options like trimming, but maybe this can be postponed to prevent this message from becoming too lengthy. For those interested, my ideal table in this respect is what the latex booktabs package provides: ftp://ftp.dante.de/pub/tex/macros/latex/contrib/booktabs/booktabs.pdf. In addition, it would be highly desirable to have the possibility - to insert material before and after the entry of a cell, eg have \bTD[before=(,after=)]x\eTD typeset (x). - to have hooks which do something with entries, eg \bTD[hook=\framed]x\eTD gives a framed x. How are the chances that the above will be supported by context in the near future, or ever? Greetings, -- Eckhart

multipage table in columns
by Eckhart Guthöhrlein 09 Aug '05

09 Aug '05

Hi all, I have to build a table which should split over several columns (probably two) and, if necessary, across pages. I have tried this with \starttext \startcolumns[n=3] \setupTABLE[split=yes] \bTABLE \bTABLEhead \bTR \bTD Head \eTD \bTD Head~2 \eTD \eTR \eTABLEhead \bTABLEbody \bTR \bTD once \eTD \bTD once~2 \eTD \eTR \dorecurse{120}{% \bTR \bTD test \eTD \bTD test~2 \eTD \eTR } \eTABLEbody \bTABLEfoot \bTR \bTD low \eTD \bTD low~2 \eTD \eTR \eTABLEfoot \eTABLE \stopcolumns \stoptext This does something at least similar to what I had in mind :-) Problems: - As soon a page break is involved, the balancing algorithm gets totally confused. For example, the code above gives me three pages, with a single cell on the second one. The head is repeated only on the third page. - How can I make a column break trigger head repetition instead of a page break? - How to get the footer repeated at the end of each column, too? Furthermore, there are some old messages concerning captions for multipage tables, but I could not find a satisfactory answer. How can I get a caption on the first page and something like "Table x cont." on the following ones? Thanks, -- Eckhart

Czech sorting rules
by David Antos 09 Aug '05

09 Aug '05

Hello, I've tried to find something relevant about the terrible Czech sorting :-) The first thing to note is that there is a standard (from 1970 or so) that is not implementable in fact, it requires such stupid sorts like Karel IV < Karel III as one should sort it as the numbers were written in words (ctvrty, treti) :-) So in practice, there are more-or-less accurate approximations. Quite good intro is http://www.vitsoft.info/sortkit.htm The sorting is considered very reasonable if it conforms with order stated in http://www.fi.muni.cz/~adelton/l10n/cssort/cssort.table . Characters on a single line in the table are considered equivalent. Note the `ch' character that is sorted between h and i. This table contains accented letters that are not used in Czech (like crossed l, z dot above). It should IMHO be also completely OK for Slovak (as they, I hope, inherited the standard). I think that it would be completely OK to sort according to that table taking chars on single lines as equivalent. The modules the table is from implements a four-pass sorting algorithm that reflects pretty damn rules, see http://www.fi.muni.cz/~adelton/l10n/cssort/csort.c . An example of sorted sequences is http://www.fi.muni.cz/~adelton/l10n/cssort/sort.tab . The question is if it is reasonable to implement it internally in ConTeXt or to use an external module. An external Perl module was prepared by Tom Hudec once (he even modified the sorting table, he preferred all letters with `hacek (\v{})' to be greater than without \v. If you consider internal ConTeXt implementation feasible, I'd be happy if you commented the sorting macros a bit, so that I could contact native Czech users and fine-tune it. I'd like to consult it with our Czech TeX frieds, I don't feel myself to be a sorting expert (it's quite tricky, isn't it).

Figure captions with text in wrong language
by Roelof Langman 09 Aug '05

09 Aug '05

Hi, I'd like my figures to have dutch captions when I write a text in dutch. Unfortunately, context shows my captions with the text "Figure" instead of "Figuur", which would be the dutch way. My code looks like this: % output=pdf \language[nl] \starttext \placefigure [here] [fig:uur] {Figuur een} {} \stoptext and the text shown is "Figure 1 Figuur een". I use texexec version 5.2.5 with cont-nl version 2005.03.16. I assumed setting the language to nl would give me dutch captions. What did I miss? Cheers, Roelof Langman

ConTeXt-mode and AUCTeX
by rb 09 Aug '05

09 Aug '05

I recently switched from context.el to AUCTeX 11.55, with "built in context-mode". One feature from the original which I am unable to find within the AUCTeX version is the automatic prompt (open square bracket) for arguments with every \start... \stop... pair. In original I used C-c C-o (tex-context-block), in AUCTeX, I'm using C-c C-e (to insert any \start \stop pair), not the same command, but the original doesn't seem to be available. Is there a way to get the automatic prompt for arguments? Thank you --

Hi, Jessica The context/base has so many modules s-pre-**.tex. At the end of the module you have the examples are given. copy the examples in seperate file and add the module no name from with the example was taken. \usemodule[pre-**] and compile the files. iam sure you can select your flavour. you can also tweat the colors to suit your requirement. thanks upendran __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sorting index (in Spanish)
by Mari Voipio 08 Aug '05

08 Aug '05

Dear Fellow-Contexters, I have been charged with editing a ConTeXt document in Spanish (of which I understand preciously little). This far I have gotten over the hurdles of hyphenation, labeltexts and the upside-down exclamation mark (and as far as we can tell, the Spanish hyphenation patterns get loaded, too), but now I have a problem sorting the index: the words 'ángulo' and 'índice' get sorted in the beginning of the index instead of among a and i. It tried putting something like the example below in a) the setup part of my document, b) just before the index (a bit like in the example at <http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2005/008346.html>, except that I use the command \placeindex and not \completeindex) and c) in the lang-ita.tex file. % Changes to sorting to fix the sorting of accented letters \startlanguagespecifics[es] \definesortkey {\´a}{a}{a}{\´a} % á sorted among 'a' \definesortkey {\´i}{i}{i}{\´i} % í sorted among 'i' \stoplanguagespecifics None of the options a)-c) worked and I'm thinking that this is more of a "stupid user" problem, i.e. as I cannot find any description on how \definesortkey works, I just don't understand how to use it properly. Any help??? Mari PS. Tried to find related info in contextgarden.net, but can't find much - if it isn't there, I can add stuff (*after* I solve this problem) if somebody tells me where I may start growing this flower of mine.

[Fwd: Re: [NTG-context] \placelist disturbs grid?]
by Vit Zyka 08 Aug '05

08 Aug '05

Hello, I was perhaps little descriptive in my last question. Let me discribe my real problem: I'd like to typeset a table of content as follows: ---------------------- Part 1 Chapter 1 Section 1 Section 2 Section3 Section with longer name 4 Section 5 Section 6 Chapter 2 Section 1 Section 2 ... .... ----------------------- Everything has to be on the grid. Problem is that 'Part 1' and 'Chapter 1' are typeset with bigger font (\bfa and \tfa respectively). And grid is too tight to fit \bfa/\tfa struts. But the character size is optically OK even preserving grid due to blank lines around bigger font. I do not want to use \placetogrid in this case since AFAIK it adds one blank line more. Solution: not to add struts to list items and set \lineskiplimit=-\maxdimen. I discovered that there is alternative 'none' that does not place struts. The only problem is that 'none' create one long line like ----------------------- Section 1 Section 2 Section3 Section with longer name 4 Section 5 Section6 ----------------------- oversized \textwidth. So the question is: How to typeset list items to paragraph without struts? Minimal test code is bellow. Thank you for replay Vit Hans Hagen wrote: > Vit Zyka wrote: > >> Hello Hans, Taco, and the next gurus, >> >> sorry for bother with another thing I can not understand.

But I do not know HOW TO TYPESET \Mycommand TO FIT THE PARAGRAPH WIDTH. It seem it is not in the restricted horizontal mode and continue on one long line. And another question/request: can the list distance param (alternative d,...) be glue instead of skip? For better line fitting. example: ------------------ \setupbodyfont[10pt,rm] \setupinterlinespace[line=12pt,height=.77,depth=.23] \setuplayout[grid=yes,width=8cm] \showgrid \setuplist[section] [style=\tfd,alternative=none,command=\MyListItem] \def\MyListItem#1#2#3{{\tfb (#1-#2-#3) }} \starttext \writetolist[section]{}{See the next line} \writetolist[section]{}{\v Sejba} \writetolist[section]{}{Another list line} \writetolist[section]{}{And the last one} \lineskiplimit=-10pt Line\par Anothet line of \v Sejba\par \placelist[section] \strut %% should be! why?

Draw a line with Metafun

Hi, I want to draw a line myself with Metafun. This line should looks like in the module pre-05. I've copied a few lines and try to understand what there happend. But it failed. I've also read in the metafun.pdf, but it ist very hard to understand. I don't see the context between the numbers of x ond y. When I change the numbers the output varies but in no relation to the numbers. Can anyone help to explain this to me or has another documentation? so looks my test: \setupoutput[pdftex] \setupcolors[state=start] \definecolor[back2][r=.6,g=.7,b=.8] \definecolor[back][s=.95] \starttext \startMPinclusions def random_hash_frame (expr width, height, offset, linewidth ) = def delta = ((uniformdeviate .5offset) + .25offset) enddef ; x1 := 0.5cm ; y1 :=0.5cm ; x2 := 16cm ; y2 := 3cm ; drawoptions(withpen pencircle scaled linewidth withcolor \MPcolor{back2}) ; fill z1--(x2,y1)--z2--(x1,y2)--cycle ; enddef; \stopMPinclusions \startuseMPgraphic{jessi} random_hash_frame(height,width, 0.5cm,0.5cm) \stopuseMPgraphic \useMPgraphic{jessi} \stoptext Greetings Jessi

Clipping a path to a boundary
by David Arnold 08 Aug '05

08 Aug '05

All, I'm looking for a new idea for something I need to do. I typically create a path on a domain [-5,5] as follows, a arbitrary. Then I randomly reflect the path about and axis, a line, or maybe rotate it. The result is that parts of the path may lie outside a bounding window. % define linear function f vardef f(expr x)= a*x*x enddef; % define paths for functions f, g, and h, respectively path P; P:=(-5,f(-5)); for x=-5 step .1 until 5: P:=P--(x,f(x)); endfor; % initialize scale numeric u; 10u=w; % scale and draw graph P:=P scaled u; draw P withcolor blue; % clipping path path cpath; cpath:=(-5,-5)--(5,-5)--(5,5)--(-5,5)--cycle; cpath:=cpath scaled 1u; % clip and save current picture picture pic; clip currentpicture to cpath; pic:=currentpicture; % erase currentpicture currentpicture:=nullpicture; Then I do some stuff I need to do and bring back the path at a later time with: draw pic; This works fine. However, what I need to do is somehow clip the path P to the bounding box, but retain the resulting cutpath in a path variable Q. That is, I need to cut off the parts of the path P that lie outside the bounding box cpath:=(-5,-5)--(5,-5)--(5,5)--(-5,5)--cycle and store the clipped path in the path variable Q. The difficulty is I have no advance knowledge if the path P lies entirely inside the bounding box or if it escapes through one of the sides. Any hints, tips, etc., would be very appreciated. Thanks.

encodings for Antiqwa
by Mojca Miklavec 08 Aug '05

08 Aug '05

Hello, In the following example \Scaron and \Zcaron are taken from the font, while \Ccaron is constructed using C and caron (the difference is clearly seen in the result as Ccaron is originally composed using C and Caron; caron and Caron are different in Antiqwa). I understand that this is because I use the wrong encoding (texnansi), but ec/il2 don't seem to work. In Antiqwa documentation I saw cork and cs encoding, which are both be OK, but it seems that ConTeXt isn't aware of them. (Cork is even better as this seems to be the only encoding where \dstroke is present.) (I slowly begin to understand why the Croats deserved their own MacCroatian encoding [regime] :) \definetypeface[antykwa][rm][serif][antykwa-torunska][default][encoding=texnansi] \setupbodyfont[antykwa] \starttext \Ccaron\Scaron\Zcaron \dstroke\Dstroke % also composed :( \stoptext Can anyone point me to the proper way to access other characters in a font, not present in any standard encoding? I know approximately that a .map file has to be written, a typescript file, encoding has to be defined somewhere, but I have never managed to make all those files cooperate together. (An example: how to access edblgrave, udblgrave, odblgrave, ... possibly in such a way that someone could use my (set of) documents without hundred sites of documentation how to compile them on his own computer.) Thank you very much, Mojca (The more I know about the encodings, the more I hate them.)

I cannot judge about the elegance of the solution as I have never seen any elegant TeX macro definitions :), but it works (at least on my examples) which is the most important part.

uppercasing accented characters, mappings and \WORD
by Mojca Miklavec 04 Aug '05

04 Aug '05

Hello, If I use the latin2 encoding (il2), \WORD works OK if I simply type accented characters. Under UTF-8, uppercasing \zcaron also works OK, but fails if I simply type 'ž'. I saw the \definemapping[il2] and I can write a mapping for windows-1250 regime as well, but how exactly is this done for unicode, where the character codes exceed 255? Could perhaps alternatively \WORD, \defineactivetoken or any other part of code be extended, so that \WORD would be happy with the typed accented characters as well? \Zcaron is already defined somewhere to be the uppercased \zcaron, so defining the same for every single regime/encoding manually seems redundant and error-prone. Thank you, Mojca (I don't have any editor to support latin2 under windows (except Mozilla), even for unicode vim and Windows are fighting against each other, so windows-1250 is the only reasonable thing that I can use comfortably.)

XY arranging ignores dx/dy
by Angus Lees 04 Aug '05

04 Aug '05

The XY arranging macro basically ignores dx/dy parameters by always padding out the space between "pages". Here's the existing ConTeXt macro for reference - removing \vss and \hss makes it do the right thing (imo). I'd give a simple patch, but I think the ideal behaviour might be to pad if (and only if) dx/dy were not specified, which is starting to push my TeX skills. \def\pusharrangedpageXY#1% {\doglobal\increment\arrangedpageN \reportarrangedpage\arrangedpageN \doglobal\increment\arrangedpageM \global\setbox\arrangedpageB\hbox \ifdim\@@ppwidth>\zeropoint to \@@ppwidth \fi {\ifvoid\arrangedpageB\else \unhbox\arrangedpageB\hss\hskip\@@ppdx\hss \fi \box#1}% \ifnum\arrangedpageM<\arrangedpageX\else \global\setbox\arrangedpageA\vbox \ifdim\@@ppheight>\zeropoint to \@@ppheight \fi {\offinterlineskip \ifvoid\arrangedpageA\else \unvbox\arrangedpageA\vss\vskip\@@ppdy\vss \fi \box\arrangedpageB}% \doglobal\newcounter\arrangedpageM \fi \ifnum\arrangedpageN<\arrangedpageT\else \poparrangedpages \fi} Minimal test, note the dx/dy distances: \definepapersize[label][width=30mm,height=20mm] \setuppapersize[label][A4] \setuppaper[dx=1mm,dy=1mm,nx=2,ny=6] \setuparranging[XY] \showframe[edge] \starttext \dorecurse{6}{test \recurselevel \page} \stoptext -- - Gus

Hi Hans, Yesterday I installed the support files you provided on the website. Interesetingly it worked with the version 1.62 of Scite. But not with version !.64 which I downloaded today. Though there are the CTX menue lines in the tools menue I can't get the spellchecker working. Anlike in the older version 1.62. There are no messages during starting Scite. So I am a bit puzzled. During my first tests with the older 1.62 Version I collected some remarks: Uk-wordlist Caps at the beginning of a word are not recognized e.g. "The" is underlined red indicating an error. The section "m" is uncomplete in the spell-uk.txt. It ends with meningo... NL-word-list The word "rug" misses in the Dutch word-list Dutch words are not recognized when starting with a capital letter. e.g. Betreft The article "de" misses in the Dutch word-list. Althogh the "De" is not recognized it is also not underlined with red. At line 8904 in de word-list: d\'eg‚n‚r‚ - Meaning? The word "mag" is not included in the Dutch word-list Otherwise it looks like we will have a nice tool! Willi
