Problems with SciTE 3.31 and context package
by Bill Meahan 17 May '13

17 May '13

Having a bit of a problem. I installed SciTE, scintillua and Hans' customizations yesterday and things are not working. SciTE crashes as soon as my context files are loaded. SciTE is version 3.31 (latest) scintillua is version 3.3.0-1 (latest precompiled which has 64-bit .so file included) context add-ons are from a recent beta and have file dates as late as 28-April-2013 system is Linux LadyGeraldine 3.2.0-43-generic #68-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 15 03:33:33 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux wwm@LadyGeraldine$ SciTE Lua Error: /usr/share/scite/lexers/scite-context-lexer.lua:508: attempt to compare number with nil. Lua Error: Table of folds expected from 'lexer.fold'. Lua Error: /usr/share/scite/lexers/scite-context-lexer.lua:508: attempt to compare number with nil. *** glibc detected *** SciTE: realloc(): invalid pointer: 0x09d9e5c0 *** Backtrace not included I'll try compiling from source if you think it will help. Ideas appreciated. Thanks -- Bill Meahan Westland, Michigan USA

[***SPAM***] Wrong °C symbol with \unit and dejavu font
by Romain Diss 17 May '13

17 May '13

Hi all, With this minimal example: %%% start \setupbodyfont[dejavu] \starttext Temperature : \unit{100 celsius}. \stoptext %%% end I get the °F symbol instead of °C. With lmodern or pagella (I did not try other fonts) the right symbol (°C) is printed. Any idea of what goes wrong? -- Romain Diss <romain.diss(a)yahoo.fr>

[***SPAM***] Positioning of frames in a frame
by "H. Özoguz" 16 May '13

16 May '13

Hello together, designing a card-game I use an overlay as background an a frame, with three parts, realized as three frames in the outer frame (which is simply the border of the card). See my try: \starttext \framed[width=4.55cm, height=7.4cm, frame=on, background=eslami]{% \framed[width=4.55cm, height=2cm]{Begriff} \framed[width=4.55cm, height=3cm]{Verbotener Begriff 1} \framed[width=4.55cm, height=2.4cm]{Erklärung} } \stoptext Two questions: 1. How can I control the distance between the inner frames? It should be: 0cm, so no distance. 2. The left border of the inner frames do not match with the left border of the outer frame, but they should. Howto? Thanks Huseyin

Off-topic: Convert PDF to (Con/La)TeX
by Xan 15 May '13

15 May '13

Hi, I just want to know if there is any tool to convert a pdf (generated by latex or context) to latex source or context source file. Does anyone have got an experience on that? I'm thinking about two alternatives: * libraries for reading like podofo and custom script for passing pdf context (text) to context commands * pass pdf to jpg, and apply http://detexify.kirelabs.org/classify.html for passing to tex symbols. For me it's vital to pass mathematical symbols like (\int) to tex symbol and not like utf-8 symbols. Thanks a lot, Xan. Note: pdf could be substitute for ps if you want ;-) PS: Please CCme

MPLibrabray "txt" broken!?
by Keith J. Schultz 15 May '13

15 May '13

Hi All, Hans, I want to use build_parshape and shapetext with the latest standalone ConTeXt ver: 2013.05.12 22:16 MKIV beta fmt: 2013.5.13 int: english/english with the Example below I get a small box with the top part of a T in it. Interresting enough the example works with the TexLive 2012 version! Running with latest standalone the following files are created: -rw-r--r-- 1 staff 14410 14 Mai 13:59 test2.log -rw-r--r-- 1 staff 5132 14 Mai 13:59 test2.pdf -rw-r--r-- 1 staff 634 14 Mai 13:59 test2.synctex.gz -rw-r--r--@ 1 staff 899 14 Mai 13:37 test2.tex -rw-r--r-- 1 staff 8413 14 Mai 13:59 test2.tuc Using MkIV from TeXLive 2012 the following files are created: -rw-r--r-- 1 staff 561 14 Mai 14:09 test2-mpgraph.mpd -rw-r--r-- 1 staff 19404 14 Mai 14:09 test2.log -rw-r--r-- 1 staff 9638 14 Mai 14:09 test2.pdf -rw-r--r-- 1 staff 3237 14 Mai 14:09 test2.synctex.gz -rw-r--r--@ 1 staff 899 14 Mai 13:37 test2.tex -rw-r--r-- 1 staff 6079 14 Mai 14:09 test2.tuc And all is well! Goofy as I am I tried the standalone again, this works only partially because the text is not aligned properly. How can it be the file test2-mograph.mpd was used from the TexLive 2012 version! So something is astray! I do know that we are using a newer Metapost, but I assume the problem is the library or how the temporary files are generated or used. Any help would be nice. regards Keith. \useMPlibrary[txt] \startuseMPgraphic{shape} % Shape of the paragraph path p ; p := ((0,1)..(-1,0)..(1,0)--cycle) scaled 5cm ; build_parshape ( p, % shape path .5*\baselinedistance, % offset .5*\baselinedistance, % x offset .5*\baselinedistance, % y offset \baselinedistance, % distance between lines \strutheight, % height of a line \strutdepth, % depth of a line \strutheight % height of the first line ) ; % For visualization purposes only draw p ; \stopuseMPgraphic % For visualization purposes only \defineoverlay[shape][\useMPgraphic{shape}] \setupshapetexts% [bodyfont=10pt] \starttext \startshapetext[shape] \input knuth \endgraf \stopshapetext % The \type{background} is set only to visualize the parshape \startTEXpage[background=shape,offset=2mm] {\getshapetext} \stopTEXpage \stoptext

Makeup layout
by Andrew Bernard 15 May '13

15 May '13

Greetings list, A newbie question: how does one adjust the vertical position of text in a makeup block for a title page? It seems to go on the centre no matter what. The voffset and hoffset parameters appear to have no effect. I have heard that layers can be used. But there is no section on layers in the current reference manual. Where does one find information on this aspect of ConTeXt? Andrew
