> Maybe you want to use mkiv and texcniccenter is not configured for it. You are right, of course I want to use mkiv. But how to configure texniccenter for it? In the instructions of the wiki I did not see any different ways to configure it for mkii or mkiv. Huseyin

ConTeXt with TeXnicCenter
by "H. Özoguz" 07 Jun '13

07 Jun '13

Hello all together, as I am a bit irritated of the limitations of TeXWorks (both in stability and comfort for big project), I want to switch to TeXnicCenter. I followed the instructions of http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TeXnicCenter and wantet to test it. With a simple \starttext \input knuth \stoptext it works (up to problems with Sumatra PDF, the invers search does not work, the instruction of the wiki are maybe outdated, but that is a topic for another thread...). But if I take a bit more complicated document, it totally fails. Here is my testdocument, which compiles fine in TeXWorks: %Testfile ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ \definefont[amiri][name:arial*arabic at 35 pt] \starttext {\setupalign[r2l]\amiri اللّـهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّد وَآلِ مُحَمَّد } \stoptext %++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ (Everybody should be able to compile this with the font arial for arabic.) The compiling fails and this is the log (very long, sorry...): ********************************************************************************************************* This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.5-1.40.14 (TeX Live 2013/W32TeX) (format=cont-nl 2013.5.11) 7 JUN 2013 11:51 entering extended mode \write18 enabled. **C:/Users/Hussein/Documents/Buch/Buch.tex (c:/Users/Hussein/Documents/Buch/Buch.tex systems : BEWARE: synctex functionality is enabled!

How to hack the lua files
by Lance Larsen 07 Jun '13

07 Jun '13

I have a version of context standalone installed, and I am trying to add some functionality I need to strc-ref.lua. As a simple test to see if modifying the file was working, I enabled the 'structures.referencing.identifying' tracker and verified that I was getting messages from this tracker in the log. I then modified the log statement in strc-ref.lua and processed the document again. The changes I made to the lua file did not seem to be active. I verified that there is only one log statement that matches the output I am seeing. Why would my lua code change not be active? Is the lua code cached somehow? (I am running this from windows if that matters). The code I modified is under the path: context\tex\texmf-context\tex\context\base\ strc-ref.lua -Lance Larsen

\page[blank], \page[header]
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 07 Jun '13

07 Jun '13

Hello, just an idea: \page[header] and \page[blank] suppresses temporarily header defined by \setupheadertexts. But, when header is underlined by \setupbackgrounds[header][text][bottomframe=on], this frame (rule) is not cancelled - it still appears on the (blank) page. Wouldn't be good that \page[header] and \page[blank] disable header & footer frames (rules), too? Maybe another keyword for \page would be handy for this purpose, e.g. \page[Header], \page[HEADER], \page[BLANK]. Best regards, Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.

Side-by-side framed text blocks
by honyk 06 Jun '13

06 Jun '13

Dear All, I'd like to type two blocks of text with different 'align' settings side by side. A desired output can be found e.g. in examples 1.9-1.10 in http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/style.pdf Here blocks have a background instead of frames though. Both variants are acceptable for me. I am lost in various text box, framing or columns switches and unable to create something similar. Thanks, Jan

\define with more than 9 parameters??
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 06 Jun '13

06 Jun '13

Hello ConTeXist. Is there in ConTeXt any dirty trick, which can put more than 9 parameters into macro? I mean for example \define[25]\macrowithtwentyfiveparams{ .... } I use rarely any trick from Peter Olsak (see below) and I'd like something like that used in ConTeXt. Thanx Jaroslav Hajtmar Here is minimal example of trick of Petr Olsak: \newcount\tempnum \def\terminator{*} \newcount\tempnum \def\readparameters{\tempnum=0\let\next=\readone \next} \def\readone #1,{\advance\tempnum by 1 \def\param{#1}% %\the\tempnum - \param\par% \ifx\param\terminator \let\next=\relax \else\expandafter\gdef\csname param\the\tempnum\endcsname{#1}% \fi\next} \def\moreparameters#1{% \readparameters #1 % \csname param1\endcsname, % write first parameter \csname param3\endcsname, % write third parameter \csname param5\endcsname, % write fifth parameter } \starttext %\readparameters a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,m,n,o,*, % %\def\parameters{aaa,bbbb,cccc,dddd,eeeee,fffff,ggggg,*,} %\expandafter\readparameters\parameters \moreparameters{a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,m,n,o,*,} \stoptext

Indenting in \setuplines
by Marcin Borkowski 06 Jun '13

06 Jun '13

Hi, I'd like to have my \startlines ... \stoplines indented in the following way: the first two lines unindented, the next two indented, and so on. Basically, this means that I'd like the pattern to be based on (mod 4) arithmetic and not (mod 2). Is it possible? If yes, how? TIA, -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Adam Mickiewicz University
