Raw Steps.
by Andre Caldas 12 Dec '12

12 Dec '12

Is there any working alternative to Raw Steps? I need an alternative without JavaScript because the slides PDF will become JPG and then OGV/MPG/MP8... The idea is to record a lecture on video and then play it back with the slides alongside. https://bitbucket.org/andrecaldas/math-video-classes Cheers, André Caldas.

Problem using League of Moveable Type's Gothic font in simple project
by Pavneet Arora 11 Dec '12

11 Dec '12

Hello, I have a simple sign that I need to put together with a good title font. Since, I have been looking for a project to try out LoMT's Gothic (http://www.theleagueofmoveabletype.com/league-gothic) I thought that this would be a perfect opportunity. Unfortunately, I am getting some errors from LuaTeX that I am unable to decipher. The context file compiles successfully with other fonts such as Museo via the simplefonts mechanism. Note that the errors come after the message: "otf loading > font loaded okay" and seems related to the adobe glyph list, which I am unfamiliar with. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. -- Pavneet >>>>> ConTeXt ver: 2012.12.10 23:20 MKIV fmt: 2012.12.11 int: english/english system > cont-new.mkiv loaded (/opt/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-new.mkiv system > beware: some patches loaded from cont-new.mkiv ) system > files > jobname: electricalpanelwarning, input: electricalpanelwarning, result: electricalpanelwarning fonts > latin modern fonts are not preloaded languages > language en is active (electricalpanelwarning.tex resolvers > modules > loaded: 'simplefonts' (/opt/context/tex/texmf-modules/tex/context/third/simplefonts/t-simplefonts.mkiv loading > ConTeXt User Module / Simplefonts <+ /opt/context/tex/texmf-modules/tex/context/third/simplefonts/t-simplefonts.lua>) fonts > typescripts > unknown: library 'loc' {/opt/context/tex/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/lm/lm-math.map}{/opt/context/tex/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/lm/lm-rm.map}{/opt/context/tex/texmf-context/fonts/map/pdftex/context/mkiv-base.map} fonts > otf loading > loading: /home/pavneet/.fonts/opentype/theleagueof-league-gothic-64c3ede/LeagueGothic-Regular.otf (hash: leaguegothic-regular) fonts > otf loading > font loaded okay fonts > otf loading > file size: 24472 fonts > encoding > loading (extended) adobe glyph list !

firstsetup
by H. van der Meer 11 Dec '12

11 Dec '12

I guess my first-setup.sh is outdated, because running it the site called from within cannot be found. There might have been a recent post about this, but then I must confess either having missed this or forgotton to save that post. Will someone be so kind as to post a zipped actual first-setup.sh or point out its current location? Thanks in advance. Hans van der Meer

OOP in Metafun.
by Andre Caldas 11 Dec '12

11 Dec '12

Hello, list! I am writing down a macro package for commutative diagrams using metafun. This is my first try: https://bitbucket.org/andrecaldas/math-video-classes/src/9a050eab20348c9a9c… Used here: https://bitbucket.org/andrecaldas/math-video-classes/src/9a050eab2034/src/p… But I would like to use some "object oriented" like approach. That is, I'd like the diagram data structure to be set up like this: d = CD.new; d.vertex("$X$"); d.arrow("$f$"); d.vertex("$Y$"); d.newline; d.arrow("$\pi$"); d.arrow("$\pi$"); d.vertex("$A$"); d.arrow("$g$"); d.vertex("$B$"); or even in some "thelabel" similar fashion, d = CD.new; CD.vertex(d, "$X$"); CD.arrow(d, "$f$"); CD.vertex(d, "$Y$"); CD.newline(d); CD.arrow(d, "$\pi$"); CD.arrow(d, "$\pi$"); CD.vertex(d, "$A$"); CD.arrow(d, "$g$"); CD.vertex(d, "$B$"); How do I do that in METAFUN/METAPOST? Cheers, André Caldas.

TeXexec / mptex / Ruby bug with Unicode letters
by Michal Kvasnička 11 Dec '12

11 Dec '12

Hallo. It seems that something was changed in Ruby that makes texexec --mptex not working with some Unicode letters, e.g. rcaron. This file compiles all right with texexec --mptex: beginfig(1); label(textext("a"),origin); endfig; end. However, when I change "a" to "ř" (unicode for rcaron or \v{r}), it failes with this complaint: /home/qasar/programy/context.beta/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/ruby/base/switch.rb:21: Use RbConfig instead of obsolete and deprecated Config. /home/qasar/programy/context.beta/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/ruby/base/tex.rb:1982:in `doruntexmp': invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII (ArgumentError) from /home/qasar/programy/context.beta/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/ruby/base/tex.rb:1525:in `runtexmp' from /home/qasar/programy/context.beta/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/ruby/base/tex.rb:1087:in `block in processmptex' from /home/qasar/programy/context.beta/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/ruby/base/tex.rb:1084:in `each' from /home/qasar/programy/context.beta/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/ruby/base/tex.rb:1084:in `processmptex' from /home/qasar/programy/context.beta/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/ruby/texexec.rb:76:in `mptex' from /home/qasar/programy/context.beta/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/ruby/base/switch.rb:133:in `execute' from /home/qasar/programy/context.beta/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/ruby/texexec.rb:791:in `<main>' It crashes both with the latest beta (downloaded some minutes ago) and with the latest stable (downloaded yesterday). It crashes also with the stable instalation that was working previously. Since it worked properly with Ubuntu 12.04 and is not working (with the same ConTeXt installation) with Ubuntu 12.10, an explanation might be a change in Ruby that makes some ConTeXt code invalid. I'm using * Ubuntu 12.10 (Linux) * Ruby ruby 1.9.3p194 (2012-04-20 revision 35410) [i686-linux] * texexec * ConTeXt standalone (minimal) distribution from the ConTeXt Garden, latest beta, latest stable and some older version that was previously working. Since I'm using it to create my teaching slides, I would really appreciate if you could make some patch (or help me go around somehow). Best wishes, Michal P.S. I apologize if the bug is known already; I haven't found it in the mailing list.

beta
by Hans Hagen 11 Dec '12

11 Dec '12

Hi, I uploaded a beta. There are some minor changes in the mp machinery (as preparation for 'double' support. As I upgraded some file related code recently there can be issues (easy to solve once known as it's hard to foresee all bordercases).

Lettrines & MKIV
by Bill Meahan 10 Dec '12

10 Dec '12

Does the lettrine module not work with MKIV? The following setup was taken directly from the module documentation. Sorry for the extra text but I wanted to try and make sure there were at least five lines of output. If I remove all setups and just use the defaults, I don't get the error message but the output is messed up. Same behavior with either TeXLive 2012 or the 06-DEC-2012 beta. Xubuntu 12.04 i386 Minimal example \usemodule[lettrine] \setuplettrine[T] [Findent=0.2em,Nindent=0.2em,Oversize=0.05em,Hang=0.15em,Lines=4] \starttext \lettrine{T}{he moon was full his heart was empty}. Dear Juliet was not in her balcony. Romeo contemplated the scene, though about it a bit and decided he needed a drink. In the bar he met Larissa, one of the wantons who hung out there. Five vodka martinis later she looked just like Juliet to Romeo. Of course, the fat, bald and hairy man tending the bar looked like Juliet, too. A night with Larissa left Romeo with the clap. No wonder he tried to kill himself! \stoptext Error message: ! Missing number, treated as zero. system > tex > error on line 7 in file lettrinetest.tex: Missing number, treated as zero ... 1 \usemodule[lettrine] 2 \setuplettrine[T] 3 [Findent=0.2em,Nindent=0.2em,Oversize=0.05em,Hang=0.15em,Lines=4] 4 5 \starttext 6 7 >> \lettrine{T}{he moon was full his heart was empty}. Dear 8 Juliet was not in her balcony. Romeo contemplated the scene, 9 though about it a bit and decided he needed a drink. In the bar -- Bill Meahan Westland, Michigan USA

Resetting Page Numbers
by Troy Henderson 10 Dec '12

10 Dec '12

I would like to reset the page number counter after the first (title) page. Currently, I have \setupfooter[state=empty] \setuppagenumbering[location={footer,middle}] \setupfootertexts[Page \currentpage\ of \lastpage] \starttext This is my title page \page \resetnumber[page] This is page 1. \page This is page 2. \stoptext but the second page footer renders as "Page 2 of 3" and the third page footer renders as "Page 3 of 3". I would like the second page footer to render "Page 1 of 2" and the third page footer to render "Page 2 of 2". That is, I would like the first (title) page to not be used in the computation of \currentpage or \lastpage. Troy Henderson

Section Header and Enumerations
by Troy Henderson 10 Dec '12

10 Dec '12

I would like for my section headers to have the following format: Section 1 -- First Section Section 2 -- Second Section ... and I would also like for enumeration lists, for example \startitemize[n] \item Foo \item Bar \stopitemize to look like 1-1 Foo 1-2 Bar where the "1-" is the section number in which the itemize resides. Thanks, Troy Henderson
