No bonds visibel with ppchtex
by Kai Straube 17 Dec '04

17 Dec '04

Hi there, I try to write some structures with ppchtex, but I found that the bonds will not beeing drawn. Simple examble: \usemodule[chemic, units, pictex] \mainlanguage[de] \language[de] \enableregime[il1] \setupencoding[default=texnansi] \setuppapersize[A4] \starttext \startchemical \chemical[ONE,SB1,SB4,SB2,SB7,Z01247][C,H,H,H,H] \stopchemical \stoptext This results in only the symbols. but no bonds. Any suggestions? Thank you, Kai

Hello, is someone using the letter module as mentioned in xcorresp.pdf (the correspondence manual)? There is written that the layout is defined in a file "m-letter.tex". I can´t find this file and the examples from the manual are not working too. Is there an example file for the use of this module? regards Wolfgang

Well, at the moment, it's "context": extra_mem_bot.context = 0 (That's a pretty harsh workaround, considering "extra_mem_bot.context = 4000000" is the default in gwTeX. ConTeXters may prefer the \hfuzz suggestion from the XeTeX list.

XML in ConTeXt & verbatim text
by Richard Gabriel 17 Dec '04

17 Dec '04

Hi all, I'm back here with the following problem: I'm processing XML files (DocBook DTD) which also may contain the <programlisting> tag with some preformatted text. In a sample TeX file, I've tested the following: \starttyping <somecontext> <variable name="Var"> Value of Var </variable> </somecontext> \stoptyping This works and the result is great. So I defined a macro to process the <programlisting> tag from the XML file: \defineXMLenvironment[programlisting]{\starttyping}{\stoptyping} This causes an error while processing. Most probably the \starttyping command breaks things inside the \defineXMLenvironment macro... Any guess how to solve this issue? Many thanks! Richard

How to get default Dutch language Context in TeXShop on Macos X
by Robert Kroon 16 Dec '04

16 Dec '04

Hi, Recently I've installed Gerben Wierda's teTeX distributon incl. ConTeXt on my iMac (Macos X, 10.3.6). Now I'm trying to learn ConTeXt. I'm marking up my documents in TeXShop, version 1.34. I can typeset small ConTeXt documents and generate PDF-files as long as the type setting commands are in English. However, I would like to use Dutch type setting commands like: \starttekst Dit is een test \stoptekst When I typeset this file from within TexShop I get following output and errors <Begin screen message> TeXExec 5.2.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2004 executable : pdfetex format : cont-nl inputfile : Context-les1 output : pdftex interface : nl current mode : none TeX run : 1 This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.20a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.3) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/natural.tcx) kpathsea: Running mktexfmt cont-nl.fmt fmtutil: no info for format `cont-nl'.

bookmarks problems

Salvete, I have two problems with bookmarks: - Preview.App does display the list of bookmarks, but they do not work. The same file has no such problems in Adobe. (There are files with bookmarks that work ok in Preview.App, such as the Adobe JavaScript reference.) - I fail to provide a bookmark different from a chapter title, if that title is not followed by text, but directly by a \section command. Whether I place \bookmark in front of or behind the \chapter command, it affects the next section command with text behind it. \setupinteraction[state=start] \placebookmarks[chapter,section] \starttext \chapter{normal chapter} \section{one} \chapter{\quotation{special} chapter} \bookmark{"special" chapter} \section{two} \section{three} test \stoptext regards, Christopher Creutzig

XML & <formula>s
by Adam Lindsay 15 Dec '04

15 Dec '04

Hi all. I want to use XML, but in a non-doctrinaire way: I much prefer TeX formula writing to mathml by hand. I looked at xtag-mml, and the \defineXMLenvironment [formula] looked like just what I wanted. However, when trying it, the XML catcode regime was still in effect, and the backslashes were printed, and didn't act as escapes. Am I missing something in the correct usage, or is support "incomplete"? This is a sample file, showing how I've been trying to use it: \useXMLfilter[mml] \starttext \startXMLdata <formula> t+3+x+t\neq m\alpha\frac\theta\hbar </formula> \stopXMLdata \stoptext Also, what's the status of contml? I like the idea of it as a simple, structural, basic markup that ConTeXt handles with zero effort, but is anyone actually using it? adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

At a loss how to proceed
by David Arnold 15 Dec '04

15 Dec '04

All, Lately, I've had a number of discussions with the director of disabled student services at our school regarding document preparation for the visually impaired. As a result of these discussions, I am a bit lost as how to proceed with the preparation of mathematics for the web and documents for my course content. I've paid a little attention to the develoment of MathML, but I've always said "Who wants to code like that?" whenever I look at examples. However, today I found: http://www.dessci.com/en/company/press/releases/040722.htm I now realize that software that reads web pages aloud it pretty important. But how do I, in my limited time, prepare documents for multiple purposes? Can I use Context to support all of our students at our school? Just how do I proceed? At a loss.

Division bug in \doMPconcat (supp-pdf.tex)
by Dan Luecking 15 Dec '04

15 Dec '04

I encountered a problem with supp-pdf when I tried to rewrite Knuths "dangerous bend" as a MetaPost figure. Very little change was required to get a good picture, but the "reverse dangerous bend" (obtained by merely reflecting the currentpicture" produced a quite grotesquely distorted picture. I tracked this down to the method used to divide by the determinant of the scaling matrix in \doMPconcat. The division code is the following: \ifdim\dimen16=\onepoint \else \ifdim\dimen16>\MPconcatfactor \onepoint \relax \doMPreducedimen16 \divide \dimen18 \dimen16 \doMPexpanddimen18 \divide \dimen12 \dimen16 \doMPexpanddimen12 \else \divide \dimen18 \dimen16 \doMPexpanddimen18 \doMPexpanddimen18 \divide \dimen12 \dimen16 \doMPexpanddimen12 \doMPexpanddimen12 \fi \fi In the reverse dangerous bend symbol \dimen16 (the determinant in question) is -1 and \MPconcatfactor is 256, so the else part is taken. The division is integer division, so the accuracy (after the two \doMPexpanddimen) is +/- 1pt. This turns values like the following: 58.11118 -61.6534 7.53143 -11.0737 7.52731 -11.06958 c 4.48691 -8.02919 1.99252 -4.2878 1.99252 0 c 1.99252 4.2878 4.48691 8.02919 7.52731 11.06958 c 7.53143 11.0737 58.11118 61.6534 58.1153 61.65752 c into (actual code in from uncompressed pdf output): 58.0 -61.0 7.0 -11.0 7.0 -11.0 c 4.0 -8.0 1.0 -4.0 1.0 0.0 c 1.0 4.0 4.0 8.0 7.0 11.0 c 7.0 11.0 58.0 61.0 58.0 61.0 c Similar problems occur if the figure is rotated. (Theoretically, the determinant is 1, but with only 5 decimal accuracy, the same branch is taken.) Also the \if tests above don't take the sign of \dimen16 into account. There is a lesser problem with multiplication when numbers are less than around 1pt. The pre-division by 256 (\doMPreducedimen) reduce accuracy to less than 3 significant decimal digits (i.e., 8 binary digits). I have written some modifications for supp-pdf that avoid all of these. No pre-division is used because multiplication is accomplished by something like \dimen16 = \withoutpt\the\dimen0 \dimen6 and division is accomplished by computing 1/D and multiplying. Since the numerator (1) is fixed, this one division can be arranged for maximum accuracy. I do this by halving D until it is less than 1pt, keeping track of the number of halvings required. Then I divide 2^30 by D, then double the result 2 fewer times than than D was halved. This guarantees at least 14 binary places accuracy, or the number of places in D, whichever is smaller. My speed tests show that the resulting code is as fast or slightly faster than the current code. Further efficiency could be gained by performing the calculation of D outside the loop of calls to \doMPconcat (I have not done this yet). The current state of my code can be found at http://comp.uark.edu/~luecking/tex/supp-pdf.mod and a stripped down version of the reverse dangerous bend code that shows the problem is http://comp.uark.edu/~luecking/tex/rdbend.mp Comments are welcome. I hope at least the division can be made more accurate in the context distribution. Dan Luecking Daniel H. Luecking Department of Mathematical Sciences University of Arkansas

pdfetex can't find map files
by Matt Gushee 11 Dec '04

11 Dec '04

Aargh! Font problems again: after not using ConTeXt for a while, I installed the December 6 package today, generated formats, copied cont-sys.rme and texexec.rme, and so on. Since I recently upgraded my teTeX installation, I also edited pdftex.cfg, adding a bunch of map +foo lines--though I guess that's not strictly necessary, since I have \autoloadmapfilestrue in cont-sys.tex. All my fonts and typescripts are in the same places they were before, and it seems they are being found; however, pdfetex seems to be unable to use regular TeX fonts (e.g. Computer Modern) because it can't find the map files installed by ConTeXt. There are a number error messages that look like this (representing all the ConTeXt map files, I think): Warning: pdfetex (file original-public-vnr.map): \ cannot open font map file The files exist and are world-readable, so the above must mean that pdfetex just can't find them. Now, I did one important thing differently from before: I installed ConTeXt under $TEXMFLOCAL, which on my system is /usr/local/share/texmf. So the map files in question are in /usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/context/ And I *think* my texmf.cnf is set up correctly: TEXMFLOCAL = /usr/local/share/texmf TEXMF = {$HOMETEXMF,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFMAIN} TEXFONTMAPS = .;$TEXMF/fontname;$TEXMF/fonts/map// % also TEXFONTMAPS.pdftex and TEXFONTMAPS.pdfetex w/ same values TEXINPUTS.pdftex = .;$TEXMF/{pdftex,tex}/{plain,generic,context,}// TEXINPUTS.pdfetex = \ .;$TEXMF/{pdfetex,pdftex,etex,tex}/{plain,generic,context,}// TEXINPUTS.context = \ .;$TEXMF/{pdftex,etex,tex}/{context,plain,generic,}// ... and so on. So, anyone have an idea what I might have missed? -- Matt Gushee Englewood, CO, USA

Update ConTeXt 2004-12-06 for teTeX 2.99.4-beta: map files

09 Dec '04

Hi all, I have a running tetex-2.99.4-beta. Now I would like to update ConTeXt to version 2004-12-06. After comparing directory structures I see there is difference: 1. In ConTeXt all map files are in fonts/map/pdftex/context/*.map 2. In teTeX amm map files are in fonts/map/dvips/context/*.map So my question is how I could update ConTeXt safely ? Which directory structure I have to follow ? teTeX will continue to work if map files installed in ConTeXt's structure ? Thank you in advance, Regards, Quy NGUYEN-DAI

texmfstart
by Hans Hagen 08 Dec '04

08 Dec '04

Hi, A next release of texmfstart will provide texmfstart bin:xsltproc kpse:somefile.xsl somefile.xml this means that one can put for instance xsl scripts (and whatever file) in the tree without the need for explicit paths; another application is: texmfstart bin:scite kpse:cont-sys.tex (or whatever editor you use); so, this will locate the actual cont-sys file and let you edit it, which is more convenient than locating the file in the tree first. Another (experimental) feature is: texmfstart --iftouched=old.pdf,new.pdf dosomething.rb old.pdf new.pdf which will only execute 'dosomething' when old and new have different time stamps. (This is a prelude to a more advanced 'runtime' graphic manipulation feature.) I also updated the manual (will be synced when i update the distribution).

New context Release notes
by Taco Hoekwater 07 Dec '04

07 Dec '04

Hi there, For those of you who are interested, Hans has released a new ConTeXt last week, and I've created a release notes pages for it here: http://contextgarden.net/Context_2004.12.06 Highlights: * texfont.pl is now version 2.2.1. From now on, it uses internal filename globbing (using a new switch: --pattern=<wildcard>) instead of the shell wildcard expansion. Obviously, this means that the commandline has changed. * most other changes are bugfixes, follow the link for those. Greetings, Taco

recent font problems
by Patrick Gundlach 07 Dec '04

07 Dec '04

Hello out there, OK, I am having a bad day, but that doesn't stop me posting ... if you (Wolfgang) have font problems: please run the code that I mentioned in all my recent posts: Something like: -------------------------------------------------- \usetypescript [adobekb][\defaultencoding] \usetypescript[palatino][\defaultencoding] \setupbodyfont[palatino,12pt] \starttext \input tufte \stoptext -------------------------------------------------- If this goes wrong: post the relevant pieces of your logfile. This is the only way I can help. Please do not make assumptions about strange file names and please do not send me strange typescripts that I have never seen before (at least I forgot about them). Just run the code and post your results. After that we can try to find the rest of the problems. Thanks, Patrick (and sorry again for the bad sound of this mail) -- ConTeXt wiki: http://contextgarden.net

Tables ..
by Dirar BOUGATEF 03 Dec '04

03 Dec '04

Hi, I would like to use multipage tables. I had a look on the wiki and there are 2 ways of doing that. What is the advantage of using \startlinetable ? One of these seems to be that we can repeat columns .. Is Context going keep going with \startlinetable or not ? (As no doc exists and its developpement seems to be not finished yet) ? Thanks.

Wrong text alignment within Context.
by Dirar BOUGATEF 03 Dec '04

03 Dec '04

Hi, Am trying to control my text in order to appear right aligned. This is how my text looks like after being typeset by context: >From King's Officer to Consul, had he been born a year earlier, a certain Napo- leone Buonaparte (1769-1821) would not have been French, since his native isle of Corsica was only annexed by France in 1768. Like all poor but gifted no- bles, he attended a military academy, becoming an officer at sixteen. The French Revolution and wars favoured his swift promotion. by age 24 he was a general, and swept from victory to victory in Italy and Egypt, after a bold coup d'état he was proclaimed consul. I don't understand why the last paragraph is typeset like this. There are several paragraphs before which are typeset correctly. What can i do to control this ? Many thanks. Dirar. PS. As the text depends on some font i have, i can't provide an example that could illustrate more than this (Typesetting changes according to font u use ..).

\setuptolerance
by Richard Gabriel 03 Dec '04

03 Dec '04

Hello all, could somebody explain me the usage of the \setuptolerance command and its particular parameters? I've found several forms of this command, but no explanation of them at all... The main ConTeXt manual (cont-eni.pdf, pages 87-88) only mentions that it is used [horizontal,verystrict] and [vertical,strict] by default... Should I issue two \setuptolerance commands to setup up horizontal and vertical tolerance? On contextgarden.net I've found one example using the following form: \setuptolerance [{horizontal, verytolerant},{vertical, verystrict}] ...tried this, but it produces "Overfull \hbox" at almost every third line... :-( Currently I use the setup: \setuptolerance[verytolerant,stretch] which gives quite good results, but I don't know what it exactly does (I googled it somewhere)... Thanks for help. Richard

Wrapping \type{}
by Nikolai Weibull 02 Dec '04

02 Dec '04

In my BNF module I use " as an active character that begins and ends terminals in the grammar: <regex>: <branch> ; <branch>, "\|", <regex>. Now, the above doesn't quite work as written, as \ is still active (and so is, in fact | as we're really inside a \starttabulate. What I would like for the "" pair to do is work as a wrapper for \type{}, so that everything in-between is passed on to \type{}. Is there a way of getting them to do that? This is my current definition: \gdef"% {\ifBNFoutsidestring% \global\BNFoutsidestringfalse% \begingroup% \BNFunsetcatcodes% \catcode`\"\@@active% \@@bnfterminalstart% \else% \@@bnfterminalstop% \endgroup% \global\BNFoutsidestringtrue% \fi} I figured something like \long\gdef"#1"% {\type{#1}} might work, but it didn't. It chokes on "." where . is also an activated character for terminating a production in the grammar. Any suggestions on how to go about this? I mean, the obvious solution is simply to write <regex>: <branch> ; <branch>, "\type{\|}", <regex>. instead, but I would like to keep the input as clean as possible. nikolai -- ::: name: Nikolai Weibull :: aliases: pcp / lone-star / aka ::: ::: born: Chicago, IL USA :: loc atm: Gothenburg, Sweden ::: ::: page: www.pcppopper.org :: fun atm: gf,lps,ruby,lisp,war3 ::: main(){printf(&linux["\021%six\012\0"],(linux)["have"]+"fun"-97);}

Hi, I have some problems with scite: compiling is not working. I get this error message: >texmfstart texexec.pl --pdf test.tex >Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden.

m-bib, \cite and no year?
by Christopher Creutzig 30 Nov '04

30 Nov '04

Salve Taco, I'm using m-bib, with \setupbibtex[database=literatur,sort=author] \setuppublications[sort=bbl,refcommand=authoryear,numbering=yes] This leads to three problems: First, I do have entries such as @Misc{Wikipedia, key = {Wikipedia}, title = {Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia}, howpublished = {\gotoURL{http://wikipedia.com}} } with no year entry, and this comes out as "Wikipedia ()". I think the parens should only be used if the year is nonempty. Second, I getempty entries in my list of references, which do get a number. Also, the first 20 numbers are printed in red, while the subsequent entries are in black. I know this is a vague description, I haven't been able to analyze it in more detail yet. Just wanted to let you know. Third, I have entries in my bibliography where the authors are listed with their family names only. This causes spurious commas in the list of references. I'll probably add initials and/or chrisitan names where I know them, but I think m-bib should support these entries. @inproceedings{corless97sequence, author = "Corless and Jeffrey and Knuth", title = {{A Sequence of Series for the Lambert {W} Function}}, booktitle = "{ISSAC}: Proceedings of the {ACM} {SIGSAM} International Symposium on Symbolic and Algebraic Computation (formerly {SYMSAM}, {SYMSAC}, {EUROSAM}, {EUROCAL}) (also sometimes in cooperation with the Symbolic and Algebraic Manipulation Groupe in Europe ({SAME}))", year = "1997", url = "citeseer.ist.psu.edu/corless97sequence.html" } As an aside: Does m-bib provide a way of including page numbers etc. in the citation? (For authoryear style, this would be overkill, but for other styles, I think "[233, p. 40]" to be pretty readable and helpful.) regards and keep up the good work, Christopher
