nath and \(start|stop)formula
by Nikolai Weibull 17 Nov '04

17 Nov '04

Hi! I just began testing the 2.99.1.20041026 release of tetex and nath is acting up. In the following document, the first math-formula works fine, but the second one (display) doesn't: \usemodule[nath] \starttext $A = (B, C, D, E)$ \placeformula \startformula A = (B, C, D, E) \stopformula \stoptext ! Undefined control sequence. l.6 A = ( B, C, D, E) ? X Any ideas? I'm guessing that the activation of ( messes something up. If ( is changed to \{, the first , (after B) gives the same error. If I use $$ ... $$ instead of \startformula ... \stopformula, it seems to work fine though. 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);}

pstoedit
by io47＠yahoo.com 17 Nov '04

17 Nov '04

Hello, I have been trying to use pstoedit to generate a .mp file but it doesn't work :-( I have followed these steps: 1.- With Gimp: test.gif -> Save as: test.ps 2.- pstoedit (as Metafun manual indicates): pstoedit -ssp -dt -f mpost test.ps test.mp But test.mp seems empty (just lines with % and so) So, any link to continue reading? Any suggestion? Regards, Jorge __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The all-new My Yahoo! - Get yours free! http://my.yahoo.com

Context & Vietnamese UTF-8
by VnPenguin 16 Nov '04

16 Nov '04

Hi all, I'm newbie of ConTeXt. I use VnTeX (vietnamese package for LaTeX of Han The Thanh) with UTF-8 without any problem on teTeX 2.x (with pdflatex). Now I would like to try ConTeXt and if it works I'll convert all my LaTeX src into ConTeXt later. Anyone could give me some links to read for this please. Thank you in advance -- http://vnoss.org/forum/

tex4ht
by Steffen Wolfrum 16 Nov '04

16 Nov '04

Hi, I wanted to try to convert a context's tex file to xml. What exactly do I have to do (using tex4ht)? Could someone give me some advice/example? (Btw.: While looking for information I saw that there are two different m-tex4ht.tex files in cont-tmf - see below - is this correct?) Steffen /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/base/m-tex4ht.tex \input tex4ht.sty \appendtoks \Preamble{\env{ht-1},\env{ht-2},html}\EndPreamble \to \everystarttext \endinput AND /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/generic/tex4ht/m-tex4ht.tex \immediate\write-1{version 2004-10-08-03:40} \input tex4ht.sty \appendtoks \Preamble{\env{opt-arg},,xhtml}\EndPreamble \to \everystarttext \endinput

rtf2context ?
by Steffen Wolfrum 16 Nov '04

16 Nov '04

Hi, when typesetting a book with ConTeXt I always have to start with a author's RTF file. For converting I use "rtf2latex2e" - and have to spent a lot time too cleaning and correction the resulting tex file. Does anybody know/have a better solution for converting RTF to TEX files? (I won't be the only one using ConTeXt for typestting existing RTF/DOC documents, do I?) Steffen

Dear friends, Does anybody know how to generate references of the type: Jansen (2002:22), Pietersen (1998:28,39) and Hendriks (2000:12-19) maintain that ... while the latter (2000:21) ... In the document I found nothing to this respect, but perhaps I overlooked. Kind regards Robert Ermers

Greek font problem
by Alan Bowen 16 Nov '04

16 Nov '04

I have just updated ConTeXt using Gerben’s i-Installer and now my Greek font (Oxonia) is rendered by an ugly collection of bitmaps. Moreover, there are now many warning about duplicate fontmaps. Any suggestions about I should fix this will be much appreciated. I append the console report produced when I processed a test file.

simple question: newline in chapter header?
by Miek Gieben 16 Nov '04

16 Nov '04

Hello, I'm trying to switch from latex to context and I'm trying to port the book class from latex to a context document. Right now I'm working on the chapter def and I have: \definetext[chapter][footer][pagenumber] \setuphead[chapter][ header=empty, footer=chapter, textstyle=bold, numberstyle=bold, numbercommand=Chapter , textcommand={\bfc}, after={\blank[4*big]}] But this doesn't give a newline after the chapter number. If I change textcommand={\bfc}, to textcommand={\\ \bfc}, I do get a newline, but then the chapter title is not aligned to the left side of the document? Even if I try to left aline this it does seem work. :( What I'm I missing here? Thanks a lot! grtz, --Miek -- today's fortune: Chemist who falls in acid is absorbed in work.

Thanks for the rsync stuff, i have started looking at it. I first need to know how things work in their basic way. I don't understand why my update didn't work as i did everything the way i was asked. And now, Pdftex doesn't find my fonts anymore :) It is turning to a nightmare. Is all of this because of the new way Texlive works now ? _________________________________________________________________ FREE pop-up blocking with the new MSN Toolbar - get it now! http://toolbar.msn.com/

Docbook and Context
by John Culleton 15 Nov '04

15 Nov '04

There appear to be two programs dealing with conversion of XML Docbook documents to Context, "Docbook in Context" and XSLT. the former has not been updated recently and the latter has documentation dating to 2001. I have a potential customer who is XML conversant and wants me to set up his document. He will provide it in Docbook format apparently. He has not written it yet. My question: Are either of the existing tools stable, reliable and complete enough for me to take on this task? Which is recommended for a one-time project? What do I need from my customer in addition to the base file of the document? I have no interest in becoming an XML guru---I just want to bid on this job if that makes sense or give the customer a no-bid if I am about to step in a swamp. -- John Culleton

Hi Hans, Looks like am never going to get out of my installation problems without getting the write way to do it. Back to Bill's mc clain method, i have done the equivalent of this in XP: mv cont-tmf.zip /usr/TeX/texmf cd /usr/TeX/texmf rm tex/context/base/* # safer to clean out old files first rm metapost/context/base/* # ...also remove metafun files rm metapost/context/*.mp # ...and any from an obsolete version unzip -a -L -o cont-tmf.zip # overwrites existing files # Edit texexec.ini afterwards? cp context/config/texexec.rme context/config/texexec.ini # Edit cont-sys.tex afterwards? Specifically: uncomment the line: # # \autoloadmapfilestrue # # For Metapost use, make sure these lines are uncommented: # # \runMPgraphicstrue # \runMPTEXgraphicstrue # \useMETAFUNformattrue cp tex/context/user/cont-sys.rme tex/context/user/cont-sys.tex # # Edit /usr/TeX/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf and ensure that "shell_escape = t". This # is what TeX people somewhat obscurely call "write18 enabled". # export PATH=$PATH:/usr/TeX/bin/i386-linux # root doesn't have this on my system texhash texexec --make en # en = english texexec --make --alone metafun mv metafun.mem /usr/TeX/texmf-var/web2c/metafun.mem texhash exit # from "su root" Now, nothing changed within my context version, still ConTeXt ver: 2003.9.25 fmt: 2004.8.17 int: english mes: english. When i use a straight file (e.g AllInOneFile.tex) without the project structure another version of Context is used: ConTeXt ver: 2004.11.06 fmt: 2004.11.15 int: english mes: english Things stay the same wether i use the --pdf option or not.

\startexample
by David Arnold 13 Nov '04

13 Nov '04

All, I have this example I would like to typeset. \startexample Show that $0.\overline{621}$ is a rational number. \stopexample In this case, there are three digits under the repeating bar. If we let $x=0.\overline{621}$, then multiply by 1000, we have \startformula \eqalign{1000x&=621.621621\dots\cr x&=\phantom{62}0.621621\dots.} \stopformula Subtracting, \startformula \eqalign{999x&=621\cr x&={621\over 999}.} \stopformula Dividing numerator and denominator by 27 (or first by 9 then by 3), we find that $0.\overline{621}=23/37$. Thus, $0.\overline{621}$, being the ratio of two integers, is rational. I have defined: \defineenumeration [example] [location=serried, text=Example, before=\blank, after=\blank style=slanted] What I would really like is an enumeration where only the example state is in slanted type, then the solution follows (without an indent) in upright (normal) font. At the end of the solution, I'd like a little symbol at the lower right to indicate the end of the solution, then a little blank space before continuing the narrative. Can someone help me with this?

clashing filenames for modules

\in{hyperref}[tableref] at first char of line causes misplaced paragraph
by Nigel King 11 Nov '04

11 Nov '04

Hi, This has bugged me for a number of years and I have only just realised the exact cause. Previous requests to solve table and figure spacing problems are all due to this I think. Basically the hyperreference in the first character of a paragraph mangles the paragraph formatting. Below is a minimum (I think) file which demonstrates the problem very clearly. \setupinteraction[state=start] \setupwhitespace[big] \starttext \input tufte \startbuffer[] \bTABLE[width=2.5in] \bTR \bTD \input tufte \eTD\eTR \eTABLE \stopbuffer \placetable [right] [tab:1] {A Table} {\getbuffer[]} \input tufte \in{Table}[tab:1] this paragraph does not format correctly because the hypereference is at the first character of the paragraph. Note that the spacing (before) is incorrect as well as the width. T\in{able}[tab:1] this paragraph does format correctly because the hypereference is not using the first character of the paragraph. \input tufte \stoptext TIA Nigel King

Thanks all, Unfortunately, for the moment i wouldn't use emacs but i have tried scite. The first problem i can see is that it does not handle multiple files opening, color setup isn't straight forward (Have to deal with hexa values) .. Apart from this, looks fine. It seems like WinEdt is a lot more oriented towards Tex and friends writing (Has even grammatical correction). What about texwork then ? Thanks for your suggestions.

bug with glue and spaces in formulas?
by Otared Kavian 10 Nov '04

10 Nov '04

Hi Hans and all Contexters, While discussing with David Munger about the Steps macros he wrote for presentations in ConTeXt (see the thread \presentationstep), we noticed that there seems to be a problem with "white spaces" or glue around some "binary operators" such as +, - and =. Please see the result of the following sample. Best regards: OK %%%% begin file test-glue.tex \starttext This is to verify how the space, or glue, is controlled in \ConTeXt. First some binary operators ``$\in$'', ``$+$'', ``$-$'' and ``$=$'' without grouping braces: \placeformula[eq:plain] \startformula x\in \Omega \subset {\Bbb R}^N,\quad\quad -\Delta u + u -u^3 = f. \stopformula Next the same with braces \placeformula[eq:braces1] \startformula x{\in} \Omega {\subset} {\Bbb R}^N,\quad\quad {-}\Delta u {+} u {-u^3} {=} f. \stopformula Note how the spaces around the signs $\in$, $+$, $-$ and $=$ have shrinked. The problem seems to appear when these are actually binary operators (that is $+1$ and ${+}1$ give the same result, while $1+2=3$ is different from $1{+}2{=}3$). I haven't tried all such binary operators, but it seems that this happens with all of them: compare $A \cap B$ and $A{\cap}B$, or $A\cup B$ and $A{\cup}B$. \stoptext %%%%% end file test-glue.tex

MathML <mover> element for accents?
by Duncan Hothersall 09 Nov '04

Hello ConTeXters. I am using the wonderful ability of ConTeXt to directly typeset MathML equations, and have come across a problem with trying to put a line above a character using the <mover> element. Here's what I try: \setuppagenumbering[state=stop] \starttext \startXMLdata <math display="block"> <mover accent="true"> <mi>x</mi> <mo>Â¯</mo> </mover> </math> \stopXMLdata \stoptext The output I get is as if the accent="true" attribute wasn't set - i.e. the line is a long way above the x, not like an accent. Is there another way to place math accents in presentational MathML?

All, This is what is needed, but even in more detail. Try this in Latex: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{layout} \begin{document} \layout \end{document} We need a picture(s) indicating all of the various layout parameters and their location on the page, as shown in the figure generated when you run the Latex code above.

C:\CONTEXT\PRACTICE>path PATH=C:\Perl\bin\;C:\texmf\miktex\bin;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WIND OWS\ System32\Wbem;c:\yandy\yandytex;c:\yandy\dviwind After enabling write18 and setting these in my cont-sys.tex, \runMPgraphicstrue \runMPTEXgraphicstrue \useMETAFUNformattrue I could not get Context to build Metapost graphics on the fly (at least in my test file). I have installed Ruby. After reading: http://www.contextgarden.net/Update_Hints I tried the following: texmfstart --make texexec.pl This built a texexec.bat, which I moved to /texmf/miktex/bin, where I also renamed texexec.exe to texexec.exe.bak. As a result, the file below compiled nicely and I had my graphic in the background. However, this killed Context running in Auctex and Emacs, which will no longer compile the file below. I get the error message in the attached log file. Any thoughts on how I can get going in Auctex again? The file junk.tex: \setupoutput[pdf] \setupwhitespace[medium] \startuniqueMPgraphic{concept} draw btex \bf CONCEPT etex rotated 60 withcolor .8white; currentpicture:=currentpicture ysized (\overlayheight-0.5cm); \stopuniqueMPgraphic \defineoverlay[concept][\uniqueMPgraphic{concept}] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=concept] \starttext Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.

FunnyText

All, I've come across this in the Metafun manual: \setupframedtexts [FunnyText] [backgroundcolor=lightgray, framecolor=darkred, rulethickness=2pt, offset=\bodyfontsize, before={\blank[big,medium]}, after={\blank[big]}, width=\textwidth] But I am wondering how to use it to set up a big "Copyright" in the background?

All, This test file: \starttext \setupcolors[state=start] \startMPpage colorcircle(10cm,red,green,blue) ; \stopMPpage \stoptext If I follow this procedure: f:/context/texutil --purgeall f:/context/texexec --pdf test Then I get a nice document when opened in Acrobat Reader.

All, What commands do I use in Context to have my slide come up in Acrobat Reader's "Fit In Window?"

lrmoved
by David Arnold 06 Nov '04

06 Nov '04

All, In this definition from mp-tool, primarydef p lrmoved d = ((lrcorner p) shifted (+xpart paired(d),-ypart paired(d))) enddef ; I am not certain of its use. Does it adjust the corner of the path p, or does it return the corner of the path p, or what?

Well, I don't own a Lamport, and probably not many ConTeXt users own one, so your description could be more verbose. Nevertheless you might want to have a look at http://levana.de/context/ there is somewhere a module that should do something like this. But there is still a bug in there when the margins are too small.

Override starttyping environment
by Arnold, David 04 Nov '04

04 Nov '04

Hans et al, I have in my preamble: \definetyping[matlab] \setuptyping[matlab] [before={\startframedtext[width=\makeupwidth, background=screen, backgroundscreen=0.9]}, after={\stopframedtext}, color=darkred] Later in my document, I tried to center one of these environments: \startalignment[middle] \switchtobodyfont[big] \startmatlab y = x.^2 -2*x - 3 \stopmatlab \stopalignment But it comes out left justified, not centered. Any ideas how I can center one of these environments, one time only?

\setuplayout --- what do parameters mean?
by David Arnold 04 Nov '04

04 Nov '04

All, When I see something like this: \setuplayout [topspace=10pt, header=40pt, headerdistance=20pt, height=middle, footerdistance=20pt, footer=0pt, bottomdistance=10pt, bottom=20pt, bottomspace=40pt, backspace=30pt, width=middle] I have a hard time working out what it means. I know I can do \showframe, but that doesn't indicate everything I need to see. Does anyone have a macro that shows ALL of these parameters in a visual way, similar to that on page 182 of the Latex User Guide, 2nd ed., Lamport?

\typebuffer and tabs / specify code type
by Eckhart Guthöhrlein 04 Nov '04

04 Nov '04

Hi all, I'm using \typebuffer to typeset some metapost code. How can I tell it to either ignore tabs or treat them like 1,2,3,... spaces, instead of printing ^^I? Another question: There has been a thread on telling \typebuffer what type of code on this list some time ago, without a final solution. Is there a switch to use metapost or whatever appropriate highlighting? Greetings, Eckhart

Hans et al, OK, s-pre-61 looks nice and the source is not too long. It looks like a good place to start. So, I tried: Texexec --pdf --mode=demo s-pre-61 I got: (./type-spe.tex) (./type-exa.tex) (./type-akb.tex) (./type-ghz.tex)"makemf" --ve rbose "ec-lt55483" "hbf2gf" -q -g "ec-lt55483" 300 maketfm: No creation rule for font "ec-lt55483". !

What's the easiest way to get this done?
