colo-ema defines X Window colors
by Peter Rolf 05 May '03

05 May '03

Hello Hans, I noticed that the color def file colo-xwi is part of colo-ema. After a look in the source of colo-ema it is now clear, that colo-ema defines the X window colors. I wrote this color defs a few years ago for latex and converted them to context without looking in the origin file again. Sorry for that... So I suggest to rename colo-ema in colo-xwi (but it's your decision). I append a slightly changed version. Regards, Peter

horizontal scaling a glyph?
by Adam Lindsay 05 May '03

05 May '03

Hi. Again, I feel like I've failed, because I haven't found it in an hour's worth of looking through the source: Is there a nice ConTeXt-y way to define a glyph that's stretched a consistent amount? I'm not thinking of the letter-spacing \stretched macros, but rather a distorted character like the 'a' on page 427 of metafun-s (240 in metafun-p). I feel like I've looked at the definition before, but I'm coming up a blank. Thanks, adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

Multi-line equation and placement of the number
by Maarten Sneep 03 May '03

03 May '03

Hello Context user, I'm trying to display a multi-line equation with a single number aligned with the last line. According to "The TeXbook" I should use \eqalignno{} for that. Unfortunately, this gobbles up the number. The other method of aligning th parts of my long equation (\eqalign) puts the number in the vertical center. How am I supposed to do this? Kind regards, Maarten Sneep The obligatory version info: ConTeXt ver: 2003.3.11 fmt: 2003.3.26 I found the following code, but I seriously do not understand this... %% from math-pln.tex in ${TEXMF}/tex/context/base \def\eqalignno#1% {\displ@y \tabskip\centering \halign to \displaywidth {\hfil$\@lign\displaystyle{##}$\tabskip\z@skip &$\@lign\displaystyle{{}##}$\hfil\tabskip\centering &\llap{$\@lign##$}\tabskip\z@skip\crcr #1\crcr}}

Strange error while generating format
by Matt Gushee 03 May '03

03 May '03

Hello, all-- I am trying to set up a new version of ConTeXt (the latest stable version, I guess? I downloaded it from Pragma ADE yesterday). But when I run 'texexec --make en' I get the following error: (/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/page-imp.tex loading : Context Core Macros / Pagebody Building system (E-TEX) : [line 736] \dimexpr ! Undefined control sequence. l.743 \setuppaper ? I say this is strange because I'm sure \setuppaper is defined--and if it weren't, surely it would have been noticed and corrected by now. I think all ConTeXt files are in their proper places ... at least, they are in the same places they were in a previous working installation. Some pertinent facts: TeX distribution: teTeX 1.0.2 Major addons: pTeX 2.0 (but as far as I know this doesn't replace core files) Platform: Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 Maybe the files are getting loaded in the wrong order? But I can't think of any reason why that might happen. Or have I missed some important step? P.S.: I think there's something missing from the installation guide (minstall.pdf): teTeX users may need to edit $TEXMF/web2c/fmtutil.cnf in order to enable texexec to find 'cont-*.ini'. -- Matt Gushee When a nation follows the Way, Englewood, Colorado, USA Horses bear manure through mgushee(a)havenrock.com its fields; http://www.havenrock.com/ When a nation ignores the Way, Horses bear soldiers through its streets. --Lao Tzu (Peter Merel, trans.)

Macros for Croatian dj & DJ
by Gour 02 May '03

02 May '03

Hello Hans! Here I'm again :-) In order to completely solve the issues with typesetting Croatian texts with ConTeXt I've found a file with TeX macros which produce correct \DJ - you can see the attached file dj.tex I have also included snapshot (DJ.jpg) which shows dstroke & Dstroke produced with these new macros (default cmr font). I commented present definition for DJ in enco-mis.tex and replaced it with the following: \def\pseudoencodedDJ % like in babel, but safer {\leavevmode \rlap{\kern 0.05em\raise 0.76ex\hbox {\vrule height 0.10ex width 0.28em}}D} However, I hope that there is some room for improvement, but being not proficient in programming TeX, I am humbly asking you to use your TeX expertise to resolve this issue once and for all. Personally, I'm so exciting to be able to typeset Croatian with utf-8 encoding in ConTeXt (I'm also using dbcontext package to transform DocBook XML --> ConTeXt, but we need some ConTeXt help to achieve better transformation.) Please, excuse me for bothering you but I'm sure it is something to extend present ConTeXt usability. Sincerely, Gour -- Gour gour(a)mail.inet.hr Registered Linux User #278493

Docbook In Context: new version uploaded
by Simon Pepping 01 May '03

01 May '03

Hi, I have uploaded a new version of DocbookInContext. This version has an implementation of attribute actions on an experimental basis; see the file Customization for an explanation and details. Of course the release also contains numerous new small features and fixes. The release has been tested with the Context version of 4 March 2003. Known problem of this release: Sometimes Context inserts a spurious pagebreak; this seems to be connected with the use of backgrounds. I have noted a similar problem with the Index. You can find DocbookInContext at http://www.hobby.nl/~scaprea/context/. Regards, Simon -- Simon Pepping email: spepping(a)scaprea.hobby.nl

small font size for figure captions
by Ed L Cashin 30 Apr '03

30 Apr '03

Hi. I am having trouble finding how to get a smaller font size for the text like, "Figure 1.1 Dinosaurs are Fun". I can change the font size for "Dinosaurs are Fun" manually, but then "Figure 1.1" stays big, which looks funny. I didn't see a setupfigures command, but I bet I'm missing something like that. -- --Ed L Cashin PGP public key: http://noserose.net/e/pgp/

Installation problems

Hallo! I don't understand fontinstallation and fontselection at all. I tryed the following: ---------------------------------------------- \setupbodyfont[ppl] \starttext Blub. \stoptext ---------------------------------------------- First the tfm for 'ec-uplr8a' is not found. Why? What have I to change? Then I used Patricks 'adobekb' and the two lines: ---------------------------------------------- \usetypescriptfile[adobekb] \usetypescript[adobekb][\defaultencoding] ---------------------------------------------- in cont-sys.tex I get an error from dvi-viewer, that an pk-file for 'pplr8t' is missing. There is neither an vf-file with this name. Then I tried to change the encoding and changed cont-sys.tex to: ----------------------------------------------- \setupencoding[default=8r] \usetypescriptfile[adobekb] \usetypescript[adobekb][\defaultencoding] ----------------------------------------------- This time, the pk-file for 'pplr8r' is not found. An equivalent vf-file is missing too. This is the second installation of tetex, the first was debian original, this is TeX Live 7. What can I do, to make the whole thing running? Tired, Wolfgang

numbering of floats
by Martin Kolařík 30 Apr '03

30 Apr '03

Hi all, I had (have) a problem with numbering of floats. I use three kind of floats, generic figure and table and mine inherited graph. Of course, tables and graph are numbered separately. When the floats would be renumbered (in my case I had "table 3" in the document before "graph 2") the floats are renumbered badly -- result was "graph 3" before "table 2". So floats and their captions ar OK, but numbers not. Any ideas?

Natural tables alignment
by Martin Kolařík 30 Apr '03

Hi all, before some time I asked if there is some way to define alignment of bTABLE if it is used onside text, not as an float. Hans answered me, if I remember, it needs new option. Was not made some advance? I cannot enclose table into hbox, because this solution denies automatic table splitting (over pages).

Re: [NTG-context] Inclusion of flow chart
by emmanuel.rialland＠sgib.com 30 Apr '03

30 Apr '03

Thanks Hans. Apologies if the discussion doesn't flow very much, I am writing from down under. In fact, what I would ideally like to do is the following: 1- Define a template with the boxes without any arrows. 2- Write numbered lists describing arrows that would be generated on top of the template. The overview might look like the following (with some bogus macro names): % Somewhere in a template file % Template for the boxes: \StartMPTemplate[Boxes] % % ----- ----- ----- % ! ! ! ! ! ! % ! A ! ! B ! ! C ! % ----- ----- ----- % \startFLOWcell \name {a} \location {1,1} \shape {action} \text {\ss A} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \name {b} \location {2,1} \shape {action} \text {\ss B} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \name {c} \location {3,1} \shape {action} \text {\ss C} \stopFLOWcell \StopMPTemplate ------------------------------------------------------------------ % This creates the first chapter \startcomponent Right \Chapter{Every to the right} % Inserts a float with the proper figure and the proper arrows using the difinitions coming afterward \StartMPGraphWithTemplate[Right] \IncludeFLOWchartTemplate[Boxes] \StopMPGraphWithTemplate % Place the float \placefigure [here,force] [fig:chart1] {Chart One} {\framed{\FLOWchart[Right]}} % normal itemised text that will be numbered and will dynamically add tyhe arrows to the figure [Right] \startitemizeWithFLOWchart \arrow[labels=number,from=a,fromside=r,to=b,toside=l] This is the first arrow. \arrow[labels=number,from=b,fromside=r,to=c,toside=l] This is the second arrow. \stopitemizeWithFLOWchart % This is the result % % ----- ----- ----- % ! ! 1 ! ! 2 ! ! % ! A !---->! B !---->! C ! % ! ! ! ! ! ! % ----- ----- ----- % % The text should appear below the float as \startitemize would have done % 1 This is the first arrow. % 2 This is the second arrow. ------------------------------------------------------------------ % This creates the next chapter \startcomponent Left \Chapter{Every to the left} % Inserts a float with the proper figure and the proper arrows using the difinitions coming afterward \StartMPGraphWithTemplate[Left] \IncludeFLOWchartTemplate[Boxes] \StopMPGraphWithTemplate % normal itemised text that will be numbered and will dynamically add tyhe arrows to the figure [Right] \startitemizeWithFLOWchart \arrow[labels=number,from=c,fromside=r,to=a,toside=l] This is the top arrow. \stopitemizeWithFLOWchart % This is the result % !------------------------------ % ! ----- ----- ----- ! % ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! % -->! A ! ! B ! ! C !--! % ! ! ! ! ! ! % ----- ----- ----- % % The idea is that everything is dynamic: - if the template changes, all the graphs get redrawn with the boxes at their new place. The arrows get moved as needed. - if the itemised text is changed (say the 'second arrow' line is written before the 'first arrow'), then on the graph, the arrow from a to b would be numbered 2 and the arrow from b to c would become 1. What I tried is the definition you see at the top for the boxes. Then, to generate the first graph, I would have: --------------------------------------------------- \startFLOWchart[chart] % Inserts template \includeFLOWchart[template][x=1,y=1] % Additional information on top of cell a \startFLOWcell \name {a} \connection [rl] {b} \comment [t] {\ss 1} \stopFLOWcell % Additional information on top of cell b \startFLOWcell \name {b} \connection [rl] {c} \comment [t] {\ss 2} \stopFLOWcell \stopFLOWchart --------------------------------------------------- All I get is the template without any arrows. I thought about trying to generate massive metafun macros. But I want the itemised text to be text and not a graph. Bottom line: is it possible? realistic? I have been using MS Word so far to do that sort of thing. It has been quite tedious to reflect any change in the box structure: 10 charts means 10 charts to re-edit. As a bonus question that should be easier. Is it possible to draw other sorts of arrows: i would like to draw straght line arrows that could follow a diagonal (say go north-east instead of east first then north), or circular arrows like: % % ----- % ! ! % ! !<-- % ----- \ % \ % | % ----- / % ! ! / % ! A !<-- % ----- As usual any help is welcome.

What is the status of the bibliography module?
by Maarten Sneep 28 Apr '03

28 Apr '03

Hi, I've searched the mailing list archives on the bib module. There are no really recent entries, so I'm wondering what the current status is. More specifically: I am trying to get the bibliography module to work like I want it to work. Does anyone have a bibl-???.tex lying around that formats for a common physics journal (say Physical Review or similar? I'll give an example of what I want below.) I need mostly articles and some books, not much else (incomplete support is not a problem), I'm not picky, if you have something that uses numerical references and cite order in the final list, I'm a happy camper... Sorted by citation order, a journal entry should look like this: Initials Name, Initials Name and Initials Name, \quote{Title}, Journal {\bf Volume}, pagestart (year). If there are more than 3 authors, use {\em et al.}. For a book: Author(s), \crlf {\em Title,} (editors) \crlf edition, Publisher, City, year Thanks for the help, Maarten > fortune bash: fortune: command not found

Actually as a book reviewer I fold the blurb in two, stick it between the covers, and refer to it for any specifics not covered in the book itself (like where to order it etc.) Often those sheets get lost and I only have the book to work from. But the book is what I am reviewing, not e.g., Shel's deathless prose which in fact may be better written than the book :-=) OTOH there is one publicist out there whose cover sheet is so bad it turns me off on the book. He takes a standard form letter and sticks in one paragraph relating to the actual book. Often that paragraph is a long, run-on sentence fragment. So while a good blurb may not turn me on an ungrammatical one will turn me off.

I'm typesetting something in Croatian language. In cont-en.tex I put an \installlanguage, and properly configured the hyphenation tables (which languages to include/exclude).

Inclusion of flow chart
by emmanuel.rialland＠sgib.com 24 Apr '03

24 Apr '03

Hans, Thanks for the answer on the section and paragraph signs. I tried \definesymbol[yen][\getglyph{\char165}] to have a yen sign, but it didn't work. How should I do it otherwise? Now, I have another brainteaser. I have a number of charts which a very similar one to another. They all have the same boxes, with the same texts. The only difference from one chart to another is the arrows: I am drawing different arrows with different comments from one chart to another. To be more efficient, I created a chart containing all the shapes without any arrows. Then for each chart, I use the example given at the top of page 8 on the chart doc: \includeFLOWchart[][] (this works perfectly) and I then try to define the arrows. \connection mentions where the arrows goes to, but not where it comes from (which is given by the surrounding cell definition). So I tried the following \startFLOWcell \name[name1] \connection[name2] \stopFLOWcell where name1 and name2 are cells defined in the generic chart. As you might have guessed, this breaks everything. Has anybody an idea as to how I could do that?

Custom definition of a bodyfont (and using it)
by Maarten Sneep 24 Apr '03

24 Apr '03

Hi, I'm trying to make my own headings, and it doesn't really come out the way I want. I'll describe what I'm trying to do, and maybe someone has something that can help me. I'd like to have the chapter number really big, in a (light) colour in the background. The title should go over the number. If possible/needed, the number may end up (partially) under the text.

m-unit and extra information for a unit.
by Maarten Sneep 24 Apr '03

24 Apr '03

Hi TeXnicians, I'd like to have an extension to the units module (I don't mind cooking something myself, but a pointer where to start would be great). In my thesis I will encounter some weird units (one is displayed below, it not the worst, but it comes close). I'd like to produce a list of units, but just the symbol and the actual unit is not really enough, I need room for a description. Ideally this description should be given at the definition of the unit. What I have now is sort-of in between, code shown below. Since the unit module is based on synonyms, I probably have to extend those, but I'm afraid that I really don't understand that code... My current method should work, but it requires a double definition (unless someone comes up with an idea how to define (double if I have to) in one place, and put the resulting list in another location). Ideas?

About Big-5 Traditional Chinese
by Edward G.J. Lee 23 Apr '03

23 Apr '03

Dear all, ConTeXt has Big-5 Traditional Chinese build-in(thanks :), but I can't let it work normally. Because of the `\' and `}' character in Big-5 charset. For example, Big5-0xB35C(uni8A31), Big5-0xA55C (uni529F) and Big5-0xB67D(uni958B). I use ttf2pt1 to produce *.tfm, *.enc and *.map file for ConTeXt, and use default Poorman's Chinese encoding, I can let the pdfetex grasp TTF directly, but I don't know how to escape `\' and `}'. My system, Slackware Linux 8.1 teTeX-1.0.7 pdfTeX (Web2C 7.3.7) 3.14159-1.00b-pretest-20020211 ConTeXt: TeXExec 3.2 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2003 I change font-chi.tex to use \TraChi default, and change to my Arphic public font`bsmi00lp'. I attach a simple test file(in Big-5 encoding). Did I miss something? Thanks for the help. Edward

Why isn't my space a space?
by Guy Worthington 23 Apr '03

23 Apr '03

Hello, I'm trying use pretty printing Java inline. To get my keywords in a slanted typeface, I've found out that I need a space before and after the statement I'm typesetting. I'm trying to automate the space in a macro \Java[], but am having no success. I believe I'm typesetting a space before and after my statement, but the space isn't acceptable to the \type macro: ----- \definetype [typeJV] [option=JV,palet=graypretty,style=\ttx,icommand=\sl] \def\Java[#1]{\typeJV{ #1 }} \setupcolors[state=start] \starttext This statement should have inserted spaces, in order to trigger the slanted behaviour in the `import' keyword: \blank[medium] The ``\Java[import java.io.File;]'' statement \blank[big] This is the type of typesetting I would like to automate: \blank[medium] The ``\hskip-0.5em\typeJV{ import java.io.File; }\nospace{}'' statement. \stoptext -----

about encodings and fonts
by Pablo Rodriguez 22 Apr '03

22 Apr '03

Hi ConTeXticians, I'm new to ConTeXt, after almost two years of experience with LaTeX, and also new to the list. I use W98SE as aperitif system and the MikTeX total distribution. My questions are rather simple: -which command should be invoked to set the input enconding to utf-8 (if this is possible)? -how can I make that the output is generated using T1 fonts? I mean the ConTeXt equivalence to LaTeX \usepackage [T1] {fontenc}. -after above questions, I'd like to know whether it is any kind of documentation that explains ConTeXt to LaTeX users. -I don't know why, but my ConTeXt installation seems not to be able to use another font than cm. (I know that MikTeX has change the font map maintenance file early this year.) Is it required to install the fonts 'twice': once for the TeX system and another time for ConTeXt? (I mean, what am I doing wrong?) -after having read the mtexfont.pdf, I wonder whether it is possible to use TrueType fonts directly with ConTeXt? (I'm mainly interested in Unicode fonts that also have Greek and polytonic Greek, which I also need to use.) Thanks for all, Pablo

bug report: eth & thorn
by Adam Lindsay 22 Apr '03

22 Apr '03

Hi ConTeXters, I found a couple minor regime/encoding bugs in current (and past) ConTeXt. In the files regi-il1 and xtag-ent, \THorn should be replaced with \Thorn . In the file enco-ans (for texnansi), Eth is missing. It's in the same place as with ec: \definecharacter Eth 208 \definecharacter eth 240 If I understand casemaps correctly, then enco-ans should include eth and thorn also: \definecasemap 240 240 208 \definecasemap 208 240 208 \definecasemap 254 254 222 \definecasemap 222 254 222 ...but following the ec example, I think something like the following will help catch most characters, and clean up the file (untested): \definecasemaps 192 to 214 lc +32 uc 0 \definecasemaps 216 to 222 lc +32 uc 0 \definecasemaps 224 to 246 lc 0 uc -32 \definecasemaps 248 to 254 lc 0 uc -32 tsjiers, adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

How to prevent a page break before a \startformula, and more
by Emil Hedevang Lohse 22 Apr '03

22 Apr '03

Hello. I many of my documents I use \startformula and \stopformula to get displayed mathematics. But I would like to be able to discourage ConTeXt to insert page breaks just before \startformula. Is there any easy way to do this? Also, how do I make \lim behave as \lim\nolimits in inner math (between $ and $) mode and as \lim\limits in displayed math mode (between \startformula and \stopformula)? I known that the following code works. \let\oldlim\lim \def\lim{\ifinner\oldlim\nolimits\else\oldlim\limits\fi} But is there some other way? Perhaps I can change something in \definemathcommand [lim] [limop] {\mfunction{lim}} ? -- Emil Hedevang Lohse <http://home.imf.au.dk/emil/> Alle spørgsmål er lige dumme.

The Context styles library.
by John Culleton 22 Apr '03

22 Apr '03

I am going through the Context styles library (colo-ini.tex and friends) to figure out what the various files do. A portion of them come with sample demo code and a smaller portion of the demos work on my system. Am I reinventing the wheel? Is there a document somewhere that says: ``This is what these examples are all about''? I know that there are comments at the head of each file but these can be a bit terse. Not a priority question :-) John Culleton

XML and active characters...
by Martin Kolařík 22 Apr '03

22 Apr '03

Hello, I am exploring possibilities of different expansion of parts of XML source in ConTeXt. I need to have some characters active (in document), and not active (in some XML attributes). So I need either different active-characters contexts for attributes and for text either some switching/hook mechanism to control active characters manually (e.g. switch \catcode when reading attribute), or some another mechanism (what now I do not know). Is there some way to hook start and stop of reading attribute in ConTeXt XML parser?, or another way to achieve described behaviour?

A surprising interaction
by Nigel King 19 Apr '03

19 Apr '03

Dear ConTeXtnicians, I have found a problem constructing my front and back cover for a user manual. In the program below I use the setupexternalfigures line below setting the maximum horizontal and vertical size in in order to simplify the inclusion of figures. It has the undesired side effect of reducing the size of the front and back cover. In the program below the first page of the document is smaller than the subsequent page. \showframe \setupexternalfigures [maxwidth=\textwidth,maxheight=0.8\textheight] \starttext \startMPpage StartPage; fill Page withcolor 0.5white; StopPage; \stopMPpage \input tufte \stoptext Clearly I can set this line after the first page. Presumably I need to set the line to \pagewidth and \pageheight before the back cover. A further surprise is that the body page background does not seem to be effected. \startuseMPgraphic{bg} StartPage; fill Page withcolor 0.5white; StopPage; \stopuseMPgraphic \defineoverlay[page][\useMPgraphic{bg}] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=page] regards -- Nigel

If I decrease main_memory from 1500000 to 1000000 then pdfetex needs only 56000008 Bytes (60000008 bevor) this is a factor 8! Why 8? If main_memory is given in words (longwords) I would expect a factor 2 (4), but not 8! ok, let it be quadwords! Then I decreased further mem_bot from 4000000 to 3000000 pdfetex now needs 48000008 Bytes this is a factor 8 too! The remaining 48000008 Bytes divided by 8 means 6000000 words? I have to set everything to zero then!? It looks as if there is no memory at all! In what units are all the memory entrys given? ??? Wolfgang

Definition of new fonts

Hi, I try to use a font, which is not packaged with TeX or ConText. I already used the texfont script to install it (successfully). But I can't make the system USE the font. Below is the snippet. The commands do (in the end) have no influence at all. The text is typeset in Computer Modern. If I activate the (now commented) "\starttypescript [xxx]" command, I get an "unknown variant - xxx" error in the log. Does anybody have an idea? Unfortunately, the mfonts.pdf didn't help me much.
