Simple rings with svg
by Ian Lawrence 11 May '12

11 May '12

I read on the wiki that now svg is natively supported. Hmm. I am missing a trick here: I try ___ \starttext Hello world \externalfigure[ChangingField_ILUC.pdf \stoptext __ And all goes as expected: I get output with the expected graphic in place But if I try ___ \starttext Hello world \externalfigure[ChangingField_ILUC.svg] \stoptext ___ I get : !LuaTeX error: cannot find image file 'm_k_i_v_ChangingField_ILUC.pdf' ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced! Is it time to update context? From the date of the wiki revision it seems not, since I am on ConTeXt ver: 2011.11.29 23:11 MKIV FWIW, I cannot find the intermediate file 'm_k_i_v_ChangingField_ILUC.pdf' on my disk either…both graphics files are in the same location, both exist, both are named correctly…. Thanks Ian

"standard" for bibliographies
by Mojca Miklavec 10 May '12

10 May '12

There used to be discussions about some "common standard" for storing bibliographies. I'm testing http://www.mendeley.com/ and would like to export to ConTeXt-friendly database (bibtex export is supported). It seems that for that one would have to use http://citationstyles.org/ so I will try to figure out if "The Citation Style Language" can be used to export data to what is currently required by ConTeXt. But if you are thinking about xml-based format for the future, it might be worth taking a look at the second website. Mojca

Units or px
by Kip Warner 10 May '12

10 May '12

Hey list, ConTeXt 2012.05.08 13:45 reports that the units module is deprecated and to use the px module in its place. Is it telling the truth or is this a harmless warning? -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

I haven't used texshop in at least seven years. There's a section on the wiki on it, have you followed it? http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Standalone/Mac_Installation Thomas

Mkiv is moving quite fast, so if you really need to use mkiv, this is way too old. Be warned though: things have changed pretty dramatically over the past 6 months or so, so if this is for something with a tight deadline, I wouldn't just simply update. Install an additional context tree somewhere and see if your documents still compile. Thomas

\doifolderversionelse
by Peter Rolf 10 May '12

10 May '12

Hi, I tried to handle some version changes with \doifolderversionelse. Sadly it does not work here. Example: \starttext \doifolderversionelse\contextversion{1010.10.10} {OLDER} {OKAY}% => OLDER \doifolderversionelse\contextversion{2020.20.20} {OLDER} {OKAY}% => OKAY \doifolderversionelse\contextversion{2020} {OLDER} {OKAY}% => OKAY \stoptext Tested with ConTeXt version 2011.11.08 and 2012.05.08 Result is always "older". Regards, Peter

japanese spaced
by Steffen Wolfrum 10 May '12

10 May '12

Hi, if a paragraph is set to align=block the space between words can be stretched. If eg. a japanese word is mentioned in such a paragraph the space between the japanes characters gets spaced/stretched too (see example attached). This may be right for japanese texts, but it is wrong if the main/surrounding language is not japanese (and thus no additional space between characters is wanted). What is an easy way to avoid this? \definestartstop [Japaned] [commands={\language[jp]\DoNotSpace}]?? Steffen -------

Font for MetaPost graphics
by Marco 10 May '12

10 May '12

The wiki claims setting up an MPenvironment is enough to change the font in MetaPost graphics: \startMPenvironment%[global] \switchtobodyfont [sans] \stopMPenvironment \starttext This should be serif. \startMPcode draw textext("This should be in sans."); \stopMPcode \stoptext However, this has no effect. All text is in default serif font. If [global] is provided, all text is in sans font. I am aware of a similar issue in a thread last year¹, but the solution didn't really address the problem. textext("\sans This should be sans.") works here, but the point is that the MPenvironment fails. Why is that? Marco [1] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.context/69044
