presentation style
by Fei He 12 May '05

12 May '05

Hi there, I used Skdk_style for a presentation, the style file downloaded from the contextgarden.net. It was all fine with the TexExec 5.2.3. I just updated TexExec to 5.2.4 version. However, the active link on the right side stopped working, i.e. after clicking on the title, it wont go to the title page which it was linked to. Also the page number now is explicitly shown on the slides too, as you will see the numbers in black. Attached is just one page from the presentation. Any suggestions how to have it fixed? Thanks a bunch!! Best, Fei

font mapfiles
by Thomas A. Schmitz 12 May '05

12 May '05

I just had to reinstall my TeX installation (upgrade to OS X 10.4). After mucking around with my old TeX, I decided to reinstall, and I hit a problem: even though I ran updmap, ConTeXt doesn't seem to work with the fonts I installed myself unless I include the \loadmapfile [foo] either in the typescript or in the source file. This wasn't the case before. I also tried moving the mapfiles to texmf/fonts/map/ pdftex/context insteadt of just fonts/map/, but that didn't change anything. Am I missing something obvious, or is this the expected behavior? I much prefer to have system-wide mapfiles since I use LaTeX from time to time and want the same fonts available there. They work with plain pdfetex as well, it's just ConTeXt that gives trouble. So my question is: is this the new setup, are we supposed to load mapfiles this way, and what is the advantage over the old method? Thanks! Thomas

how to align footer text
by Paul Tremblay 12 May '05

12 May '05

How do I set up the space between the bottom of the page and my footer text? I need to setup a 1 inch margin at the bottom of the page. I need for the pagenumber to be centered and 1/2 inch from the bottom. Here's what I have: \definelayout[MyCustomLayout][ topspace=1in, header=0in, bottomspace=1.0in, bottomdistance=.5in, footer=.5in, footerdistance=1mm, backspace=1.5in, cutspace=.75in, height=middle, width=middle,] \setuplayout[MyCustomLayout] \part{} setupfootertexts[\hfill{}\pagenumber{}\hfill{}][][\hfill{}\pagenumber{}\hfill{}][] The problem with this setup is that the page number appears to close to the bottom of the page. Thanks Paul -- ************************ *Paul Tremblay * *phthenry(a)iglou.com * ************************

placefigure inmargin; inmargin justification
by David Wooten 12 May '05

12 May '05

Greetings all, I've been experimenting a little with margin-notes, and am wondering if there is support for running the inmargin text around a figure, e.g. \inmargin{\placefigure[left]{none}{\externalfigure[Figgy][width=4em]} Interesting words.} The above places the figure and the text on top of each other. It also appears that there is no option in an inmargin text to have both-sides-justified. Is this a general stylistic assumption? In this instance, my margins are to be unusually large. And finally, if it's simply the case here, is there a nice way to achieve a similar result (as margin notes) on multiple pages, two- sided, where the main text width runs normally from page to page? I'm thinking of perhaps pseudo-columns. Thanks, David Wooten

greek characters

11 May '05

Dear list members, I left the font questions until last, but I now need to replace my alpha ("alpha-ketoglurate") etc to greek letters. The only way I could achieve this was by using $\alpha$, but there must be a better way? Thank you very much, Jörg. PD Dr.med.

more on margin kerning
by Idris Samawi Hamid 10 May '05

10 May '05

Dear syndicate, Hartmut may be right that this is a pdfetex problem***, but the following example makes me think there is more to it. Indeed, the following is actually more to the point of my own problem: Consider the following typescript type-test.tex and and example file hanging.tex. When TeX hyphenates the word, the dash is kerned into the margin, but when a dash is manually inserted, no kerning occurs. Note: in this example neither `-' nor \hyphen works, whereas in the previous posted problem \hyphen did work. This makes me think that this is a macro, not an engine, issue. Please help! Best to all and thnx Idris *** I am using ConTeXt ver: 2005.03.16, the full mswincontext.zip.

hook TABLE
by Eckhart Guthöhrlein 10 May '05

10 May '05

Hi, I have tried to use Hans' recent tip concerning hooks for TABLE entries in oder to increase the horizontal separation of cells. Here is what I currently have: \newdimen\TabCol\Sep \TabColSep6pt \def\TBLcharalign#1#2{% \hskip\TabColSep\relax \framed[align=right,frame=off,rulethickness=0mm,offset=0mm,strut=yes]{#2}% \hbox to\TabColSep{\hss}% } This works - kind of, at least the horizontal cell separation is increased. Unfortunately, vertical spacing between rows is also affected. I had to introduce the \framed in order to treat multi-line entries, and the strut in order to ensure correct vertical alignment in the row. Now, my call for help: Does anybody have an idea how to control horizontal spacing without changing the inter-row space? Thanks, -- Eckhart

inmarge figures and references
by Jörg Hagmann 10 May '05

10 May '05

Dear list members, My happiness about my first pdf-file was a bit premature. It worked fine on my Mac at work (TeX and ConTeXt downloaded with Fink commander). But on the two setups I'm using at home (TeXLive and ConTeXt on Mac OS X; teTeX on Mandrakelinux 10.1 on a Powermac G4) the exactly same two problems occur: 1. \inmarge figures can't be handled. Instead they appear in the text. This is an example from the log file: ! Undefined control sequence. l.35 \inmarge {\externalfigure[8pyruvate_lab]} ? <./FIGURES//8pyruvate_lab.pdf Warning: pdfetex (file ./FIGURES//8pyruvate_lab.pdf): pdf inclusion: Page Group detected which pdfTeX can't handle. Ignoring it. > figures : dimensions of ./FIGURES//8pyruvate_lab.pdf loaded from figuref ile itself 2. The references don't work ("??"). Again, an example: references : unknown reference [][krebsbox] Everything else (chapter numbering, textrule, figures, footnotes, tables etc.) is working. Also, the test suggested in the texexec manual ("\framed") is working. Since the tex file itself has not been changed, I suppose that something is wrong with my setups at home. Thank you for any suggestions. Jörg. PD Dr.med.

Re: [NTG-context] INstalling a new version of context
by bb 10 May '05

10 May '05

> The upgrading of Context or even of pdftex is sufficiently > failure prone that I have given up trying. I tend to agree. I follow the meager instructions I have found, as well as some direct help from hh himself and am still not able to get it working right. I think the problem is with hacked engine support. I try disabling the use of engine but I still get the same problem. At this point I am tracking down a weird error in texexec.pl in which kpsewhich returns a null result and TEXFORMATS gets set to '0'. This wreaks havoc and breaks everything. I suspect texlive texmf.cnf settings trigger a bug in texexec. Perhaps everything would work just fine with the limited linux tex distribution from pragma. But I, like many others, prefer to use texlive because it is fairly comprehensive and I can use my normal latex and friends. I think it would be a very useful exercise for hh to install a complete texlive on a stock fedora box. Then write down _every_ step necessary to get beta cont-tmf.zip installed and working. I would think that targeting texlive as the standard platform for distributing context on linux/unix would make the most sense. It should _not_ be necessary to make anything but a trivial change to texmf.cnf. sc

Vertical alignment of footnotes in \bTABLE
by Johan Sandblom 09 May '05

09 May '05

The following admittedly contrived example exposes a problem with vertical alignment of footnotes. The problem was first encountered with a multipage table where the footnotes became more far apart instead of on top of each other as here. It appears the problem only occurs if 1. there is a cell with multiple lines 2. there is a cell that spans several columns. Is there a workaround?

Recomputing useMPgraphic in footers

Hello, I have \defineoverlay[Wave][\useMPgraphic{Wave}] \startuseMPgraphic{Wave} ... \stopuseMPgraphic \setupbackgrounds[footer][text][background={Wave}] The problem is that the graphics is not re-computed on every page, although I pretty convinced it should. On the opposite, when I set \setupbackgrounds[text][text][background={Wave}] it works perfectly well. (The difference is in [footer] vs. [text].) An ugly workaround is to call \setupbackgrounds on every page, but it's not nice at all. What went wrong?

Indenting after \stopitemize

INstalling a new version of context
by olibou＠free.fr 09 May '05

09 May '05

Hello ! I tried to install a new version of context, since somebody suggest to do it (BTW I do not know how know what version of context I have ... running texexec --version gives me the version of texexec, I presume, not the version of context ... but anyway ... that not my sole problem, as for now). So I used to have a version of context install by default :-) on my mandrake 10.1 distribution of linux ... To upgrade I have downloaded http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-tmf.zip and read also part of http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/minstall.pdf It says that I have to unzip cont-tmf.zip in /usr/share/texmf ... which I have done ... And then they say we have to regenerate format .... but I'm not that expert to understand what it means ... What I have done is fmtutil --all But my context distrib does not work anymore ... ;-( Could anybody help me ?

alignment issues
by Idris Samawi Hamid 09 May '05

09 May '05

Dear cartel, Two problems (annoyances?) with alignment,: PROBLEM 1: \startalignment[left] creates a spurious underfull hbox: ======================= % output=pdf interface=en \starttext \startalignment[left] This is a test of alignment. \stopalignment \stoptext ======================= log: ======================= Underfull \hbox (badness 10000) in paragraph at lines 7--8 []\*12ptrmtf* This is a test of align-ment. \hbox(8.26648+2.33331)x426.78743, glue set 12.00853 .\glue(\leftskip) 0.0 plus 24.0 .\hbox(0.0+0.0)x0.0 .\*12ptrmtf* T .\*12ptrmtf* h .\*12ptrmtf* i .etc. ======================= The other three alignments (see below) do not have this problem; PROBLEM 2: I think this may have came up a couple of years ago as well, don't remember if there was ever a resolution... The options to \start-\stopalignment are inconsistent and, in my view, contrary to common sense-). Try ======================= % output=pdf interface=en \starttext \rightaligned{This is a test of right alignment.} \startalignment[right] This is a test of right alignment. \stopalignment \blank[big] \leftaligned{This is a test of left alignment.} \startalignment[left] This is a test of left alignment. \stopalignment \stoptext ======================= \startalignment[right] does the opposite of \rightaligned; ditto for \startalignment[right] and \leftaligned. \rightaligned and \leftaligned are correct in my view. Aside: As ConTeXt develops bidi support, we need alternatives to [left] and [right] anyway. But it is still apparently inconsistent as it stands (with emphasis on `apparently' since I am missing/have forgotten the point of why things behave like this).

reference
by Jörg Hagmann 08 May '05

08 May '05

Dear list members, I can't figure out how to refer to figures. In the setuparea I have e.g.: \useexternalfigure[anapler][anaplerosis][width=\textwidth] In the body I had: \placefigure{Acetyl-CoA stimuliert die anaplerotische Reaktion etc...}{\externalfigure[anapler]} In the text: (\in{Abb.}[anapler] pdf output gave Abb. ?? I then added a reference to \placefigure: \placefigure[anapler1]{text ...}[anapler] and (\in{Abb.}[anapler1] Same result, i.e. ?? I then thought that maybe, although this seems unlikely, "[fig:..] is needed, as in the examples in the manuals. I replaced the reference with [fig:anapler], same result. As so far practically nothing worked the first time, but I always managed to find the error after some time, I kept staring at the manuals and my tex file. It didn't help. I hope somebody has the answer. Thank you very much, Jörg. PD Dr.med.

Hi Taco and all, I found a temporary solution: Given a \start-\stopnarrower environment like =============================================== \definestartstop [quote] [before={\startnarrower[1*middle]\blank[big]}, after={\stopnarrower\blank[big]}] =============================================== Then the following will avoid the overfull box: =============================================== \let\normalinmargin\inmargin \def\inmargin#1{{\parindent0pt \normalinmargin{#1}}} \def\INMARGIN#1{\advance\leftskip by -2\parindent \inmargin{#1} \advance\rightskip by -2\parindent} =============================================== Of course this solution is not general, and depends on the actual setup of \start-\stopnarrower. The general problem with \inmargin appears to be that all parindents need to be reset. I could not find a correct way to incorporate my solution above into Taco's original definition.

Search Path
by Randall Skelton 06 May '05

06 May '05

Hi all, I've become rather confused on how ConTeXt searches paths so I made a quick example... Attached is ConTest.zip which expands to a trivial directory layout for a project. ConTest/env_test.tex ConTest/prd_one ConTest/prd_one/cmp_aaa ConTest/prd_one/cmp_aaa/cmp_aaa.tex ConTest/prd_one/cmp_aaa/tbl_aaa.tex ConTest/prd_one/cmp_bbb ConTest/prd_one/cmp_bbb/cmp_bbb.tex ConTest/prd_one/prd_one.tex ConTest/prd_two ConTest/prd_two/cmp_ccc ConTest/prd_two/cmp_ccc/cmp_ccc.tex ConTest/prd_two/cmp_ddd ConTest/prd_two/cmp_ddd/cmp_ddd.tex ConTest/prd_two/prd_two.tex ConTest/prj_test.tex My problems: (1) I generally like to keep tables, figures and even some complicated equations in separate input files so that I can easily move the files between different projects (i.e. papers for publications, internal docs, grant applications, etc). More often than not, my 'tbl_*' files are symlinks. In this example I use: \input tbl_aaa.tex within the file cmp_aaa.tex to illustrate my problem. Namely, I cannot find the file tbl_aaa.tex when generating either prj_test.tex or prd_one.tex? I've tried a variety of commands in place of input, including the various readfile commands but nothing I've tried can make ConTeXt find this file. (2) Can someone please explain what \usepath[] and \usesubpath[] are for and what the difference between the two is? I've read many messages that refer to these but have yet to find a true example showing their use. Their names suggest they may be useful in the case but as the attached files suggest, I've been unable to figure out what to do with them. (3) I've largely switched over my figures to using the image database (aka resource libraries?). Is it currently possible to create databases of equations and/or tables? Many thanks and have a good weekend, Randall

Using fonts of an existing TeX-Installation
by Tobias Hilbricht 05 May '05

05 May '05

Dear readers of this list, I have a working recent (La)TeX and ConTeXt installation. I have added several commercial PostScript fonts and can use them with (La)TeX. The font files of those fonts are in directories under texmf-local/fonts (afm, tfm, vf, type1), that is, as suggested by TeXFont manual for ConTeXt. However, following the TeXFont manual for ConTeXt, do I have to reinstall them from scratch for ConTeXt starting with the pfb- and afm-files from texmf-local/fonts/source, or can I use the already distributed pfb- and afm-files? Does a reinstallation interfer with the existing font installation for (La)TeX? Thanks for helpful hints in advance Yours sincerely Tobias Hilbricht -- Dr. Tobias Hilbricht Linopus Satz und Grafik www.linopus.de

\setupMMLappearance
by Duncan Hothersall 05 May '05

05 May '05

Hello MathMLers. I just discovered the very promising \setupMMLappearance command, which looked like it held the answer to one of my most niggling of problems with display MathML processing - the fact that in a tabular layout using <mtable> I couldn't make the left-hand-side right-aligned, the middle (equals sign) centred and the right-hand-side left-aligned. The default layout has all columns centred. So having looked through the sources I tried \setupMMLappearance[mtable][alternative=b] and to my joy the horizontal alignment seemed to be perfect. But... the vertical spacing seems to have changed as well. There is now just a bit more vertical space between the rows, which throws my existing pagination out of whack, and also looks ugly. I think I reached my limit on understanding the sources, so I wonder if someone could help by telling me if there are any other options for the magical \setupMMLappearance command which might help, or indeed any other fine-tuning commands for MathML layout. One other thing I'd really like to be able to do is have the entire equation aligned on the left rather than centred in the text flow. Is there an option for that? Thanks very much to anyone who can help. Duncan

I tried to compile different examples included in the base distribution ... but some, I fail to compile ... And I do not know where I'm wrong ... For example, I tried s-pre-61.tex to compile and it fails ... here is the output of the compile process ... # cp /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/s-pre-61.tex . oli@olinux:~/E/Context # texexec --pdf --mode=demo s-pre-61.tex TeXExec 3.1 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2002 executable : pdfetex format : cont-en inputfile : s-pre-61 output : pdftex interface : en current mode : demo TeX run : 1 This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.14159-1.10b-2.1 (Web2C 7.4.5) entering extended mode (./s-pre-61.tex{/usr/share/texmf/pdftex/config/pdftex.cfg} ConTeXt ver: 2003.1.31 fmt: 2005.1.21 int: english mes: english language : language en is active <protectionstate 0> system : cont-new loaded (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/cont-new.tex systems : beware: some patches loaded from cont-new.tex! system (E-TEX) : [line 726] \ifcsname ) system : cont-old loaded (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/cont-old.tex loading : Context Old Macros ) system : cont-fil loaded (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/cont-fil.tex loading : Context File Synonyms ) bodyfont : 12pt rm is loaded language : patterns 2:2-en-2 3:2-uk-2 4:2-de-2 5:2-fr-2 6:2-es-2 7:2-it-2 8:2-nl-2 loaded specials : tex,postscript,rokicki loaded system : s-pre-61.top loaded (./s-pre-61.top specials : loading definition file tpd (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/spec-tpd.tex specials : loading definition file fdf (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/spec-fdf.tex <unprotect 3> <unprotect 4> system (E-TEX) : [line 1815] \ifcsname <unprotect 5> <protect 5> <protect 4> <protect 3>) specials : fdf loaded <unprotect 3> <protect 3>) specials : fdf,tpd loaded ) pdftex : needs map file: original-context-symbol.map pdftex : needs map file: pl0-ams-cmr.map pdftex : needs map file: original-vogel-symbol.map system : macros of module pre-60 loaded (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/s-pre-60.tex javascript : loading script set stp (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/java-stp.tex) !

font encodings
by Thomas A.Schmitz 05 May '05

05 May '05

Hi all, I want to use a custom font encoding (in my case, enco-agr for ancient Greek). I can't set it up for the entire document because it breaks, e.g., the output of accented letters. But when I try to use it for certain parts of the document only, it will insert a line break whenever it is used. So my question: is it possible to switch font encoding in mid-paragraph? Best Thomas

Dear ConTeXters, I am still looking for the first emails of this list. The archive on http://archive.contextgarden.net is missing the first half year. If there is anybody out there (Tobias? Slavek?) who has them, please email me off list. Your help is *greatly* appreciated. Patrick (I can't sleep well without having all mails :-)

pdf bookmarks
by David Waller 05 May '05

Hello, I am trying to produce bookmarks in the PDF file produced with context. I can produce bookmarks but I am unable to get any hierarchy of bookmarks such that chapters can just be displayed initially and then the sections open up. I am able to do this in latex, with hyperref, and am looking for a list of commands, or guidance, which would allow me to do the same in context. Thanks David Waller

I added this onto the Wiki page, as well. I did a few other changes there, as well (mostly according to your suggestions). - Ville

Problem with figure placing
by Richard Gabriel 05 May '05

05 May '05

Hello ConTeXters, I have the following problem with placing figures into the document: Sometimes, when there are more larger images and fewer text, TeX lets some of the images run out of the page (see the attached screenshot). This hapens in very, very seldom cases - e.g. whole the document contains more than 200 images and this issue occurs on one or two places... For placing images, I'm using the following commands: \page[bigpreference] \placefigure[here][fig-xyz]{Figure caption}{\externalfigure[xyz.png][scale=3000,maxwidth=\textwidth]} The \page[bigpreference] command handles this situation quite well except certain cases (like it's shown in the attachment). I really don't understand how TeX can typeset anything outside the given page area... Here is my page setup: \definepapersize[MAN][width=17.5cm,height=22cm] \setuppapersize[MAN][A4] \setuplayout[location=middle, marking=on, topspace=1cm, backspace=1.5cm, height=middle, width=middle, header=1cm, footer=1cm] Does anybody guess? Many thanks, Richard
