named destinations with highlation
by shiva shankar shankar 26 Oct '04

26 Oct '04

Dear sir, suppose that i am having a target text and link to a target text in a pdf document(created either by using pdftex or by using a distiller) if i click the link it will take you to the target text. When you go to the target text if i want to highlate the text with some color temporarily( like when you use find ) what must be the postscript code or javascript code that i should embed in a tex file. shiva shankar.

new release
by Adam Lindsay 26 Oct '04

26 Oct '04

Hi Hans. I just noticed this morning in your enco-uc (also appears in the new release) that the following is outside the start/stopencoding, and therefore causes some Bad Things (looking for UnicodeRegular20) if people use language settings: \stopencoding \definecharacter endash {\uchar{32}{19}} \definecharacter emdash {\uchar{32}{20}} \definecharacter quoteleft {\uchar{32}{24}} \definecharacter quoteright {\uchar{32}{25}} \definecharacter quotesinglebase {\uchar{32}{26}} \definecharacter quotedblleft {\uchar{32}{28}} \definecharacter quotedblright {\uchar{32}{29}} \definecharacter quotedblbase {\uchar{32}{30}} \definecharacter leftguillemot {\uchar0{171}} \definecharacter rightguillemot {\uchar0{187}} \definecharacter guilsingleleft {\uchar{32}{57}} \definecharacter guilsingleright {\uchar{32}{58}} %D a temporary guess: \startencoding[default] \definecommand Greekleftquot {\leftguillemot} \definecommand Greekrightquot {\rightguillemot} \stopencoding -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

stretched text
by kopszak＠mnw.art.pl 26 Oct '04

26 Oct '04

Hello, I know it's a bad habit to use stretched text, but apparently formerly people thought differently. I am typesetting old quotations and would not want to replace stretched text simply by emphasized. Is it absolutely discouraged in ConTeXt or is there any way to have it... (in spite of its ugliness). Piotr -- Piotr Kopszak, Ph.D. Polish Art Gallery, National Museum in Warsaw -----------------------------> http://kopszak.mnw.art.pl/

more nath patches
by Christopher Creutzig 26 Oct '04

26 Oct '04

Salvete, I finally managed to make t-nath work with \eqalign and \eqalignno. (I assume I was not the only one having trouble there?) As it appears, nath gets really confused when subformulas are enclosed in {} and contain some form of delimiters. Therefore, the original definitions just don't work, but these modifications do, at least in some sense of “work”: \def\eqalignno#1% {\displ@y \tabskip\centering \vcenter{% \openup\jot\m@th \halign to \displaywidth {\hfil{\startnathdmath\@lign ##\stopnathdmath}\tabskip\z@skip &{\startnathdmath\@lign {}##\stopnathdmath}\hfil\tabskip\centering &\llap{$\@lign##$}\tabskip\z@skip\crcr #1\crcr}}} \def\eqalign#1% {\null \,% \vcenter {\openup \jot\m@th \ialign {\strut\hfil{\startnathdmath ##\stopnathdmath}&% {\startnathdmath {}##\stopnathdmath}\hfil\crcr #1\crcr}}% \,} And I've got another snippet I'd like to share, which helps displaying continued fractions in a linear format, using the “best” way of doing so I've met so far: \def\contfrac#1#2{% % To get the lines at the top right and bottom left % at the correct lengths, we need to know the final heights % of both top and bottom.

Also note that the snippet uses \fracrulethickness@ from t-nath.tex, while I honestly consider using \fontdimen8\textfont3 or whichever font size is in use for the fraction. Well, work in progress. regards, Christopher Creutzig

i18n in ConTeXt (& some bugs)
by Adam Lindsay 22 Oct '04

22 Oct '04

Hi Hans, Victor, all. I've been feeling the Unicode love with XeTeX, and I explored lang-* as a major test case for internationalised text. I uncovered a few bugs along the way. In OpenType fonts, \i doesn't compose well with accents, unlike normal TeX fonts. Therefore a couple more definitions (at least) are needed in enco-acc: \defineaccent ' {\i} {\iacute} \defineaccent ` {\i} {\igrave} % etc. I had the toughest time getting strings like \v!january to switch language. I found that this change (from \currentmainlanguage) fixed the inability to \ShowLanguageValues. In lang-lab: \def\labellanguage{\defaultlanguage\currentlanguage} \def\headlanguage {\defaultlanguage\currentlanguage} Another bug in visualisation was no doubt brought on by the switch to low level english. In s-mod-00: \VL \ShowLabelText \subsection \VL\MR \VL \ShowLabelText \subsubsection \VL\MR ... changes to... \VL \ShowLabelText \v!subsection \VL\MR \VL \ShowLabelText \v!subsubsection \VL\MR With that done, I noticed a few smaller bugs in the lang-* files. I am not an expert in any of these languages, so all of my recommendations are subject to verification by people who know what they're doing! In lang-grk, a copy-paste error was propagated: \s!fi => \s!gr In lang-ura, the Hungarian word for abbreviations has a typo: R\"ovid\'\it\'esek => R\"ovid\'it\'esek (or R\"ovid\'\i t\'esek) In lang-sla, the Polish word for part has an \ecedilla, which I'm guessing should be an \eogonek... Ust\c{e}p => Ust\k{e}p (probably!) In lang-ita, The Catalan word for March is spelled with a \,. That's probably a cedilla: mar\,c => mar\c{c} Finally, I've done some work filling out enco-uc with characters used in the other encodings and (especially) characters used in the lang-* files. It's attached. I have a couple questions that remain for experts: Greek: I defined \Greekleftquot as a guillemot, as a guess. Is that right? Cyrillic: The Unicode codepoint for \cyrilicii completely baffled me for a while. (I don't have a copy of the t2a/b fonts here with me to take a look for myself!) According to Unicode, it should be the same as \cyrillici, but that can't be right. I'm now guessing that since it appears the same as the roman 'i' in enco-cyr, it corresponds with U+0456: CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER BYELORUSSIAN-UKRAINIAN I. Is that right? The additions to enco-uc are attached. I would be ever so grateful if they found their way into the distribution! By the way, although these seem like complaints, I must say (again) that the plumbing supporting arbitrary encodings, accents, and input regimes in ConTeXt is absolutely fantastic. Making XeTeX work with ConTeXt is really quite trivial compared to the efforts being expended on the XeLaTeX side! Best, adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

Table of contents interaction
by Richard Gabriel 21 Oct '04

21 Oct '04

Hi all, got the following problem: I'd like to setup the interaction for the table of contents to section numbers AND page numbers. \setupcombinedlist[content][interaction= ...] The possible values for the parameter "interaction" are: sectionnumber, pagenumber, text, all I don't want to use all because the interaction text has an another color: \setupinteraction[state=start,color=blue,style=normal] Is is possible to say something like: \setupcombinedlist[content][interaction={sectionnumber, pagenumber}] (exactly this command is not accepted) Thanks for any help!

\part centered vertically.
by Dirar Bougatef 20 Oct '04

20 Oct '04

Hi guys, I have setup my parts in the following way: \def\MyPart#1#2 {\hbox to \hsize \bgroup \hfill \setupframed[height=.7cm,offset=.5em,frame=off] \framed[align=left]{#1}% \framed[align=right,leftframe=on]{#2}% \egroup} \setuphead[part][before={\vfill},after={\vfill},command=\MyPart] But this does not make my parts titles appear vertically centered. Any one has a clue about it ? How can i get rid of the keyword part or change it when it appears in my title ? Thanx. Dirar.

Upright greek with Fourier
by SebastianSturm＠t-online.de 19 Oct '04

19 Oct '04

Hi, I'm using the Fourier Utopia Fonts together with the latest stable i-Installer ConTeXt package. I'd like to access Fourier's upright greek alphabet, especially the large omega. However, the font including that character doesn't seem to be used in math-fou.tex. I tried all characters of mi (standard math) as well as many characters of sy and the ex one (using \definemathsymbol [otheromega] [ord] [...] [...]). I guess I'd have to define a font synonym pointing to the right font file, but my attempts didn't produce anything but garbage. At the moment I'm using \getglyph{fourier-ml}{173}, which is stupid but functional. So, can anyone help? Thanks in advance, Sebastian

Hi all, I try to generate the following output: Some Label * item 1 * item 2 * item 3 * item 4 * item 4 * item 5 i.e. I want to have a label followed by an itemization that is set in columns. I tried several things but did not succeede 1. Variant - a tabulate environment \starttabulate[|l|p|] \NC \inframed[width=\LabelWidth,align=left]{Teilnehmer}\hskip\SepWidth \NC \startitemize[columns,three] \item Bauherr \item Architekt \item Bauleiter \stopitemize \NC\NR \stoptabulate There the following problems: a) the itemization introduces an additional empty line and b) the [columns,three] parameter is not considered. 2. Variant - using a narrower \startnarrower[left] \startitemize[columns,three] \item Bauherr \item Architekt \item Bauleiter \stopitemize \stopnarrower The problem with this variant is that the coluns do not respect the right margin, i.e. the items reach beyond the paper. Has anyone a solution for this problem? Thanks for your attention, --Stefan

pdftex 1.20a and map files
by Christopher Creutzig 13 Oct '04

13 Oct '04

Salvete, I tried upgrading to pdfTeX 1.20a on my powerbook. I built the binaries successfully and placed them and their pool files into some temporary location and I was able to build ConTeXt formats. Unfortunately, pdftex.map was not found, generated files have just lots of empty pages. I did try "sudo texmfstart textools --fixtexmftrees", but that did not move pdftex.map from its place in dvips/config. I tried to follow the NEWS file in the pdftex distribution, but that only lists two non-existant URLs at tug.org to find information. The list archive of tex-live seems to have moved and to be inaccessible to non-subscribers. Not wanting yet another mailing list, I just don't have access to this vital piece of information, which imho should be listed right in the NEWS file. Where is pdftex.map and the likes supposed to be for 1.20a? regards, Christopher Creutzig

textext() doesn't work on my MikTeX distr.
by Mojca Miklavec 13 Oct '04

13 Oct '04

The following example works on live@contextgarden, but on my computer it only writes "unknown" at the place of "x". btex etex also doesn't work in ConTeXt (metaplay) on my computer, although it does without any problems in metapost/mptopdf. \starttext \startMPpage draw textext.origin("x"); draw fullcircle scaled 2cm; \stopMPpage \stoptext I use the latest MikTeX distribution (although ConTeXt may not be really up-to-date, but that shouldn't be a problem, I suppose). It's probably just a matter of a single setting or so (it should be corrected in MikTeX as well if that's the case), but I don't know where to start looking. Thanks for help, Mojca Miklavec

Dear Hans and all, again, thanks for your help! Everything is working as it should now. After asking on the TeX on OSX mailing-list, I found out that there was an experimental installation that already contains pdftex 1.20a, so I upgraded. I changed texmf.cnf as you suggested to Christopher Creutzig yesterday, regenerated mapfiles, and everything's bright again. But I was sweating and cursing... If it hadn't been for a complete backup of my old TeX installation on my second hard drive and your wonderful help, I would have had a lot of serious troubles. I guess that's a general problem with TeX installations: originally, they were made for UNIX mainframes maintained by knowledgeable sys admins who would likely know how to cope with such a situation. Nowadays, I assume that the majority of TeX users sit in front of their own box, and even though I can do some things on the command line and have by now acquired a reasonabel amount of TeXpertise, I would have been absolutely helpless without you and Gerben's great installer. So you're absolutely right: downward compatibility is broken; it is difficult to make local changes without wiping the entire installation. That's what you get from being impatient... All best, and thanks Thomas On Oct 11, 2004, at 10:03 PM, Hans Hagen wrote: > i'll try to keep texmfstart as compatibile as possible; there has been > a change in tds with regards to scripts (interestingly context was the > first to come with such scripts and the rule was to use /context/...); > when more package came with scripts tds was changed and now it's > /scripts/... ; the problem is that there is no strong urge to be > downward compatible (i tried to convince them in change but in vain) > and since kpsewhich now uses another --format directive for such > scripts, downward compatibility in my opinion is broken (all scripts > that somehow use kpse to determine what to run will fail from now on, > unless changed); so, this is why i cooked up texmfstart: it tries to > be clever in determining what to call.

Update to Pdfetex 1.20a
by Lutz Haseloff 13 Oct '04

13 Oct '04

Hi Hans, Hi all, i tried to update pdfetex to 1.20a. I used the standalone version by Fabrice Popineau from: http://public.www.planetmirror.com/pub/ctan/systems/win32/fptex/standalone/ If pdfetex tries to insert a ttf-font i get an error-message: Windows complains: ... systems : end file test at line 6 )<c:\tex\texmf-local/fonts/truetype/chinese/htsong.ttf return code : 65280 run time : 2 seconds total run time : 2 seconds I run the latest stuff from pragma (binaries, context) under Win XP. The fonts are from ctex.org. My input file is: \loadmapfile[gbk] \usemodule[chinese] \usemodule[chi-simplified] \starttext \section{test} \stoptext Is this a bug in pdfetex? Greetings Lutz
